Wu'an Hou's victory on the border was appreciated and praised by Zhao Xu, who rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, but his official position did not change.
But come to think of it, being conferred a title of nobility is already a great honor, and the higher title of Marquis of Wu'an is out of reach for the time being.
Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning were respectively given the title of general by Zhao Xu, one was General Anbei and the other was General Anxi. All of a sudden, the two brothers became third-rank officials, which was enviable in a sense.
But to be honest, this official appointment must have been made with Zhao Xu's selfish motives. After all, he had just taken over the throne and he always needed someone to help him. Moreover, Lu Mingyun had saved him when he was in the northeastern border.
Being young, a third-rank official, having military merits, and having saved the emperor, Li Mofu couldn't help but sigh at his bad luck.
However, this also made Lu Mingyun the most popular marriage candidate in the capital. Although he was still in mourning, many wealthy families had already hinted at their interest in him.
The Lu family was also in its heyday. The old lady's complexion was as rosy as if she had taken an elixir these days, so she became more and more displeased with Li Mofu.
Li Mofu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He went out for a walk every day, and came back to read books and play with cats. When he saw Lu Mingyun, he asked for money and then put the money into his own small treasury.
As Zhao Xu's last surviving brother, Zhao Xu was highly valued. Zhao Xu did not delay and quickly granted Zhao Xu the title of Qin. He also quickly built the Qin Palace in the capital, and Duke Zhao's family was also brought back.
Zhao Xu suddenly became the most honorable prince, and Zuo Zheng was the happiest among them.
In mid-December, Wang Ruiyan took Li Mofu to the Lin family again to give gifts. The previous one was a thank-you gift, and this time it was a New Year gift.
Lin Murong has always been in good spirits, and even the grandmother of the Lin family has a rosy complexion.
Li Mofu had been with him for quite some time, so he spoke to him openly. On the way back, Wang Ruiyan said that he was "disrespectful" and that Lin Murong had saved him after all, so he should be more polite.
How could Li Mofu be convinced? In terms of size, he was definitely bigger than Lin Murong. He was bigger than him in every aspect.
But before he could retort, the old lady came over stealthily, looked at Li Mofu as if he were a thief, and then took Wang Ruiyan away.
Wang Ruiyan was a little confused. She turned around to look at Li Mofu and waved at him, signaling him to go back first.
Li Mofu pursed his lips. From far away, he could hear the old lady saying that Wang Ruiyan should have less contact with men outside the family. She also said that Lu Mingyun was the same. He insisted on keeping a man outside the family in the backyard, making the backyard a mess!
Now, the only person in Wu'an Marquis's mansion who shows strong rejection towards Li Mofu is the old lady. Even Wu'an Marquis is ignoring him and doesn't care whether his son gets married or not.
Anyway, he did what he should do.
After returning from the battlefield, Marquis Wu'an had aged many years and no longer had the energy to take care of his two grown-up sons.
According to Lu Mingyun, Marquis Wu'an would often visit the crazy Lin, walk with her in the yard and talk with her, and a day would pass by.
When saying this, Lu Mingyun was very calm, as if his hatred for the Lin family had disappeared.
On the other hand, Li Mofu snorted disdainfully, praising Marquis Wu'an for his deep love.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Mingyun smiled and didn't care about it anymore. Instead, he pinched Li Mofu's wrist and asked, "You've taken a lot of money from me recently, right? What are you planning to do with it?"
"Why do you care about me? What? You want to take it back?" Li Mofu glanced at him and asked back.
Lu Mingyun shrugged and said, "How could that be? I just thought that if you were to do business, I could give you some advice."
"No need. All the money from the business was given to Wang Ruiyan. The remaining money is my 'real estate'." Li Mofu said.
