Can the housekeeper actually understand why Wen Yuanzhong pays attention to Lu Xu and Wei'anbao?
On the surface, rebuilding Qinfeng Road and consuming the power of the Beiting people on Qinfeng Road as much as possible is Daliang's top priority. Wen Yuanzhong came to Qinfeng Road at this time to shoulder a heavy responsibility and came with the emperor's trust and expectation.
But in reality? Qinfeng Road, a place that is in urgent need of reconstruction and may be attacked again by Beiting people at any time, is the tomb of the official in charge.
Because everyone, including the emperor, understood that the possibility of Qin Fenglu losing the battle again was definitely more than 90%.
Therefore, before Wen Yuanzhong came, the emperor also said that Wen Yuanzhong should try his best regarding Qin Feng Road. As long as it was not a tragic defeat, the emperor would not only not blame him, but also give him appropriate compensation and rewards.
but!
No one knows where the emperor's bottom line is? No one knows to what extent a defeat will anger the emperor? No one knows how fierce the Beiting people's next offensive will be.
All Wen Yuanzhong could do was to prepare for war as much as possible in order to fight the war well in the future.
Wei'an Fort occupies a pivotal position in the overall strategy formulated by Wen Yuanzhong. It is natural for him to pay attention to Lu Xu!
But this does not explain why Wen Yuanzhong admired Lu Xu?
"Could it be that what Lu Xu did exceeded my master's expectations? And it greatly exceeded his expectations? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the master values this boy so much!"
Just when the housekeeper was thinking wildly, Wen Yuanzhong said: "The daughter of the Chen family has arrived, right?"
The housekeeper lamented: "Yes! What a good lady. After such an accident happened, I almost didn't recognize her when I saw her just now."
"What a pity for such a little girl, she actually walked hundreds of miles on foot. The dust and dust along the way tortured her..."
As he said that, the housekeeper felt distressed for a while: "It's so pitiful."
Hearing the butler's lament, Wen Yuanzhong couldn't help but sigh: "Her grandfather and I are old friends after all. I can't really see her die under my rule."
After thinking for a moment, Wen Yuanzhong sighed again and said, "Call her here and I'll give her a way out."
Not long after, a fifteen or sixteen year old woman came to Wen Yuanzhong.
The woman seemed to be injured. Although she tried her best to control her walking, she was still lame.
The girl's appearance is very beautiful. Even though her face is now covered with traces of hardship, her girlish beauty cannot be concealed at all.
When he was young, Wen Yuanzhong was also a frequent visitor to the romantic court, and his wife was once one of the most beautiful women in Beijing. But even so, when he saw this girl, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What an amazing beauty!
It’s a pity that in her current situation, such beauty is nothing more than a reminder!”
After the girl reached the appropriate position, she forced herself to endure her injuries and bowed to Wen Yuanzhong: "Slave Chen Yueqi pays homage to Master Jinglue."
Wen Yuanzhong did not dare to directly help Chen Yueqi due to ethics, but he still helped her to get up: "Your grandfather and I were close friends when we were young. I have watched you grow up, so why bother talking to me like this?"
point?"
Chen Yueqi couldn't help but feel aggrieved when she heard this, but she still held back her tears: "Sir, I have been punished as an official slave, so I really don't dare..."
Wen Yuanzhong raised his hand to stop Chen Yueqi's words: "Our two families have been friends for decades, and today your family suffered such a disaster. Although I couldn't protect myself, I tried to lend a helping hand. Unfortunately, I was unable to save it."
"But after all, your grandfather and I have a life-long friendship. Even if I can't save your whole family, I can't watch you die under my rule. I have prepared two ways to survive for you. Which one you choose is up to you.
Already."
Hearing Wen Yuanzhong's words, Chen Yueqi felt sad and angry. She knew very well that the more a person emphasizes something to you, the more often it means that he has nothing.
Wen Yuanzhong repeatedly emphasized the friendship between the two families to Chen Yueqi, but in fact, the Wen and Chen families had been political enemies for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two families had long since disappeared.
At this time, Wen Yuanzhong offered to help him, probably not because of friendship but because of interests.
Although she didn't know what Wen Yuanzhong wanted to use her for? But now that Chen Yueqi's life was in someone else's hands, what could she say? Therefore, Chen Yueqi could only lower her head and bow deeply, and there was nothing else to say.
Word.
At the same time, Chen Yueqi paid full attention because she knew that the so-called choice was actually a test. It was Wen Yuanzhong who tested his quick wit and decisiveness. No matter what Wen Yuanzhong wanted to do, she had to prove her ability in front of him first.
Only then can he give himself a way to survive.
Wen Yuanzhong nodded with satisfaction and said: "First, I will find a place for you to stay first. I will arrange for someone to protect your safety and prevent anyone from having unwanted thoughts about you. After this period of limelight,
I will remove your citizenship. As long as you get rid of your slave status, others will not be able to easily get their hands on you in the future."
"But in this way, your reputation will be ruined. In order to protect your safety, I must reveal my name. If I reveal my name, everyone will think that I have done something to you. You will think about it later."
It will be difficult to marry into a good family."
"Secondly, I have a person here who is of the same family as you. He was a new Jinshi, but was framed by a traitor and was sentenced to a military household. If you marry him, with his ability, he can keep you safe, and he will be in charge in the future.
It is not impossible to help you deregister."
"But! He is a military household. You know the current situation on Qinfeng Road. If it is in the future... So, both roads have huge hidden dangers. How to choose? It depends on you!"
Chen Yueqi understood these two choices as soon as she heard it. The first way is more stable. As long as you are determined not to marry, then this way is even a perfect way.
But Wen Yuanzhong is not a good person. How could he have such good intentions? Chen Yueqi can be sure that if she chooses this path, what will Wen Yuanzhong really do to herself? I am afraid that her end will also be extremely tragic.
Chen Yueqi immediately made a judgment that the only way to survive was the seemingly dangerous road!
So, she replied with almost no hesitation: "Sir, I would like to marry you."
Wen Yuanzhong nodded, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a smart girl."
Thinking like this, Wen Yuanzhong added: "Back then, your grandfather and I went to Beijing together to take the exam. If your grandfather hadn't always helped me, I would have starved to death on the road."
"Although I can't let you get married in glory today, I can still prepare a sufficient dowry for you. One of my sisters died of illness before she got married, and there are no heirs in her name."
"I want to adopt you into her name as her daughter and ask you to leave a piece of incense for her. What do you think?"
