    On November 10th, Huang Mingyuan and Lu Zhen went to Huating, Kunshan.

    In fact, before Huang Mingyuan came to Wuzhou, one of the two most important purposes was to take Lu Zhen to the Lu family in Huating.  Huang Mingyuan has no hope for Lu Zhen's identity. Huang Mingyuan is not naive, so he knows that Lu Zhen's identity is a bit embarrassing for both families. Huang Mingyuan cannot give Lu Zhen an upright identity, and the Lu family must hold on to the last  Face, so in the current situation, the only way to go is to let nature take its course.

    Huang Mingyuan took Lu Zhen to the Lu family. Firstly, he hoped that Lu Zhen could meet her mother to comfort her lovesickness; secondly, it was for the sake of Huang Mingyu and Lu Wan.

    No matter how Huang Mingyuan agrees to Huang Mingyu marrying Lu Wan, he must give Lu Wan a suitable identity. The Huang family's identity does not allow Huang Mingyu to marry a wife without identity.

    This time compared to the last time, Huang Mingyuan's identity gave him more confidence.  In the past, the Lu family could not sell him face, because no matter how famous Huang Mingyuan was, he could not affect Jiangnan's affairs.  But now Huang Mingyuan holds the power of life and death in Jiangnan. As long as he wants, he can decide all matters. He can be said to be the local emperor at the head of the Jiangnan family.

    Huang Mingyuan was not as reckless as last time, so he wrote in advance to Lu Yuanlang (Lu Deming), the secretary of the Lu family head of Lu Zhen's family, and reached a preliminary consensus, so he came to visit.  It can be said that this visit is not so much about negotiating with the Lu family, but more about going through a process.

    In the middle of winter, the Huating is bright and cold, and the hazy light is as gloomy as glitz.  In this hazy and undercurrent season, people can't help but long for Huating's crane.

    The Lu family now is no longer what it used to be.  When they first crossed to the south, the Lu family, as the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, was not in vain compared to the wealthy Wang family and Xie family from the north.  After the death of Nan Chen, the Lu family had no way to make progress, and the talents in the family were withering. They were no longer the Lu family that was "famous as Wu Yue" back then.

    At this time, the head of the Lu family, Lu Yuanlang, was still in Luoyang, so the person in charge of the Lu family now was Lu Yuanlang's uncle, Lu Xingzhi.

    Knowing the news of Huang Mingyuan¡¯s visit, Lu Xingzhi had already waited outside the door with his family members.  Huang Mingyuan drove to the Lu family gate and met the Lu family.

    Although the Lu family has declined, it is not bad to say that the ancient town of Huating belongs to the imperial court, but in fact it belongs to the Lu family.

    Within the entire Huating, there are many large houses connected with each other, and each building is the residence of each branch of the Lu family.  The Lu family started from the lineage of Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, and became more prominent than Lu Xun and Lu Kang father and son. It has been four hundred years since then.  Although the descendants have branches all over the south of the Yangtze River, the ancestral home of each house still remains in the Lu family.

    The conservative and exclusive character of the Jiangnan aristocratic family makes them more united than the northern aristocratic family.  This may also be the reason why Jiangnan aristocratic families still survive after the two Song Dynasties.

    Among the Lu family, the most famous ones are Lu Xun and Lu Kang and his son. However, Lu Kang¡¯s six sons all died in the fall of Soochow and the Eight Kings Rebellion. Therefore, Lu Xun actually has no prominent descendants.  However, the real inheritance from the Lu family of Wu County was his younger brother Cao Shangshu Lu Mao of Soochow and his cousin Lu Ji, the prefect of Yulin. This is really sad.

    Lu Xingzhi brought people to welcome him personally, and Huang Mingyuan gave Lu Zhen enough face for Lu Zhen's sake.  In fact, these days, the previous assassination of Huang Mingyuan has not yet been finalized, and everyone has been worried. Huang Mingyuan's visit to the Lu family also shows that Huang Mingyuan did not want to go on a killing spree and kept it to himself.

    It was difficult for Lu Zhen to get out of the car at this scene, so the carriage was ushered directly into the Lu family.

    Lu Xingzhi led Huang Mingyuan to visit the beautiful scenery of Huating. Although he did not lose the character of a wealthy family, his purpose of flattery was self-evident in his words.

    This is the lowest period of the Jiangnan family. No matter how great the reputation is, it cannot survive.

    Today, more than ten children of the Lu family are all together.  These people come from various houses of the Lu family and can be said to be the most important seeds of the Lu family.  Huang Mingyuan communicated with several people and found that many of them were quite talented.

    Today¡¯s matter is also an exchange between Huang Mingyuan and the Lu family.  For Lu Zhen's sake, Huang Mingyuan was willing to promote some talents from the Lu family in order to continue the blood of the Lu family.  Everyone also knew that these talented people from the Lu family worked hard to display their talents in front of Huang Mingyuan in order to gain Huang Mingyuan's attention.

    Looking at these children of the Lu family, Huang Mingyuan's inner respect for the Lu family has increased to another level.  As expected, the Lu family has a profound heritage, and the upbringing of its children is in line with the standards of this era.  There is a certain reason why the Lu family was able to turn around so quickly. In the Tang Dynasty, there were six prime ministers: Lu Dunxin, Lu Yuanfang, Lu Xiangxian, Lu Zhi, Lu Ke, and Lu Xisheng. The lintel did not fall down.

    Huang Mingyuan hoped to develop his power in Jiangnan through the Lu family, so everyone had good intentions from the beginning, so they naturally had a good time chatting.

    Until noon,The Lu family held a special banquet for Huang Mingyuan.

    The special wild vegetables, water shield soup and sea bass soup unique to Wuzhong are mouth-watering.  This Jiangsu cuisine pays attention to freshness and finesse. It was also the first time for Huang Mingyuan to eat such delicious seabass, which made him, a future gourmet, full of praise.  If possible, living in Huating, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and eating these delicious water shield soup and seabass dumplings will really make you forget about Sichuan.

    After lunch, Huang Mingyuan went to the Lu family's library to visit.  Since the two Jin Dynasties, the south of the Yangtze River has been relatively stable, especially the Wuzhong area, with few military disasters. Therefore, many books and documents of the Lu family are well preserved.  In order to build a library in Fengzhou, Huang Mingyuan searched for countless rare books, but they were not as large as the Lu family's collection.

    Huang Mingyuan requested to copy some books from the Lu family, and when the Lu family was relying on Huang Mingyuan, they had no choice but to comply.

    Almost exhausted in one day, Huang Mingyuan finally mentioned his purpose of coming today.  He proposed marriage for his ninth brother Huang Mingyu, and the candidate for marriage was Lu Yuanxiu's youngest daughter.

    For this matter, the head of the family, Lu Yuanlang, had already agreed, and Huang Mingyuan was just going through the process.  Moreover, this time it was the Lu family who got hold of Huang Mingyuan. If the family could take off again with the help of Huang Mingyuan, how could it be achieved by a woman?

    As for Lu Wan¡¯s identity, it has also been explained.  Lu Wan was frail and sick as a child, so in order to grow up, she had been fostered in a nunnery at home. Now that she has grown up, she has officially returned home.  This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Buddhist land of Jiangnan.

    And before the death of the two daughters of the Lu family, it was also easy to explain.  Originally, it was a private matter. It was not publicized at all and not much was known about it.  Now all we have to do is start a rumor, saying that it was the eldest daughter who died, and the death of the second daughter was just a rumor.  Anyway, neither family cares about it, and others are even less active.

    As for Lu Wan, she is already on her way back to the Lu family.

    Huang Mingyuan and Lu Xingzhi quickly reached an agreement on the marriage, and the two parties finally confirmed the marriage.  Everyone was happy, but Lu Zhen's father, Lu Yuanxiu, felt awkward seeing that he couldn't get a word in.  Huang Mingyuan would never pick up the other person, so he just pretended not to see him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
