"Father, did something happen last night?" Mu Siyu glanced at Chanyi.
Chanyi immediately stuffed a thick purse into the father-in-law's mouth.
The father-in-law touched the gold leaf, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Madam, Master Lu is capable. Madam, all you need to know is that it is a good thing for you. Wait until Master Lu comes back to ask him anything else. We are just slaves and don't understand anything."
"My father-in-law is too modest. So besides our family, has anyone else received the imperial edict?"
"Second Master Lu was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Lord Qi Xiao was granted the title of Marquis of Jing'an. Several other Lords also received great rewards. Of course, some were very proud of themselves, and some..."
The father-in-law who announced the decree did not finish his words, but everyone present was not a fool and understood what the unfinished words meant.
Some people are proud of themselves, while others become prisoners.
In other words, something did happen in the capital when they didn't know it, and her husband played a very important role in this incident, otherwise he would not have received such a big reward.
A hereditary title is not something that can be obtained at any time. Generally, only those who have contributed to the founding of the country can have such honor. She became the wife of the Marquis after sleeping, and that event must be earth-shattering.
After seeing off the father-in-law who announced the decree, Mu Siyu asked Chanyi to go out and inquire about the news.
Not long after, Chanyi reported the news to her.
"Forced into a uterus?"
"Yes, Jiangge's old party members were all thrown into jail, and the case was handed over to the three divisions for trial."
"He did such a big thing last night."
Mu Siyu was not in the mood to go to the store either.
When Lu Yi came back, it was very late again. But today was different from usual. Mu Siyu usually rested before he could wait for him and left a lamp for him at the door. Today, the lamp at the door was gone, and the candlelight inside
Still on.
"Master Hou is back." Mu Siyu sat on the bed, holding a book in her hand, and said lazily, "Master Hou has worked hard outside, and I really derelict in my duty by not going to greet you."
Lu Yi: "..."
Something is wrong.
Even though she looked pretty when she smiled, his many years of experience as a couple made him feel a dangerous aura.
"Madam, I want to confess to you." Lu Yi came up and said, "It happened so suddenly. I had no choice but to deal with it..."
Mu Siyu looked at him with a smile.
"Suddenly? Forced? Have to?" Mu Siyu asked, "If you really didn't prepare in advance and controlled the situation carefully designed by Jiang Ge's old party so easily, then Jiang Ge's old party was too incompetent.
He has been able to make waves in the court for so many years. Is it because others are too incompetent or because he was just too lucky in the past?"
"Ma'am, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." Mu Siyu closed the book, "It's too hot. I want to rest alone. You can go sleep somewhere else!"
How could Lu Yi leave?
If he really left today, it would be even more difficult to coax his wife back.
Besides, she was angry now. If she could be coaxed, she could calm down. If he really left, it would make her even more angry. He couldn't bear to let her sulk alone.
"Madam, I know you feel sorry for me."
"I don't feel sorry for you, I just think it would be troublesome to remarry."
Lu Yi held Mu Siyu's hand and refused to let go: "I didn't sleep all night last night. When those swords came over, my mind was blank..."
Mu Siyu: "..."
He is too cunning.
He knew that she felt sorry for him, and he deliberately said this to make her feel soft.
"Are you injured?" Even though she knew it was his trick, she still felt distressed.
"Don't worry, I've brought enough people with me and I won't get hurt." Lu Yi took her hand, "Don't be angry. This time is a bit dangerous. I don't want you to worry, so I hid it from you. This is the last time,
If something like this happens again in the future, I will tell you in advance. Is this good?"
Mu Siyu didn't have to be pretentious. She was afraid when she thought about the seriousness of this matter.
Although he was fine, with his "unafraid of death" behavior, what would she do if she was unlucky one day? She couldn't imagine how desperate she would be.
The goal was achieved and she got his guarantee, so she didn't bother her anymore.
She moved aside and let him get on the bed to talk.
"I heard that my uncle has also been promoted."
"That's right, he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
"You two brothers have risen through the ranks really fast." Mu Siyu said, "Is there any progress on Mrs. Su's side?"
"Still checking, but the results will be available soon." Lu Yi said, "It's too late, take a rest!"
Mu Siyu saw the dark circles under his eyes and snuggled into his arms obediently.
Lu Yi smelled the floral fragrance from her hair and fell asleep quickly.
Mu Siyu opened her eyes and looked at his tired look, her eyes full of heartache.
"Actually, we are doing well now. There is no need to be so tired anymore. However, you have your own ideas. No matter what you do, I support you."
Lu Zhiyun is now the young lady of the Hou Mansion, and she receives countless invitations every day. She picks out those she is willing to make friends with, ignores the others, and spends most of her time studying.
"Miss, I have your letter." Ding Xiang handed the letter to her, "Miss, if it's still... I'd better not accept it in the future, just return it directly."
"What are you afraid of?"
"There are rumors outside..."
"Even if it's true, I didn't tell him anything he shouldn't have said. Can't we keep in touch like friends and ask each other, okay?"
After speaking, Lu Zhiyun opened the letter.
Xiao Yun'er, seeing the words is like meeting: When you receive this letter, I should have returned to Feng Linguo...
Lu Zhiyun frowned.
He really returned to Feng Linguo.
After that...
Are they the enemy?
——There is still no change in the five-year period, so don’t try to cheat. However, I have no way to contact you for the time being. When I settle down, I will definitely write to you again.
Ding Xiang asked from the side: "What did he write?"
"Nothing." Lu Zhiyun put the letter in the candle and burned it.
"Today, several more people came to propose marriage." Ding Xiang said, "Madam rejected them all. There are already some unfavorable rumors about the young lady. They probably say that you have high vision, and you can't even look down on the legitimate son of the Duke's palace. I'm afraid you will be in trouble in the future.
The only way is to enter the palace and become a queen."
"They only dared to say these things behind my back, and none of them dared to say them in front of my parents. Such courageous rats can only express their indignation by venting. What's there to worry about?" Lu Zhiyun said,
"I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, let's go horse riding today!"
Lu Zhiyun did not go to the horse farm in the other courtyard, but to Xia Qingzhou's horse farm.
Yanzhi is in another courtyard, so the horse she rides today is not Yanzhi, but another tall horse.
Xia Qingzhou happened to be inspecting his property, and when he saw Lu Zhiyun, he sighed: "We haven't seen you for a few days, and Miss Lu's status has risen again. When the boy came back, he didn't know if Miss Lu was still in the boudoir."
There are many girls in a family, and this is fully demonstrated in Lu Zhiyun's case.
Jiang Yongyang patted Xia Qingzhou on the shoulder: "Your first task in the capital is to keep an eye on Miss Lu. Guan Jian will always use your machinations to drive away those who want to come to propose marriage. If Xie Chengjin comes back, his sweetheart will
No more, just wait to be made into a human skin drum!"
"Hey...who is that? Jiang Wanchen?"
"Why is the Jiang boy here? He even went to Miss Lu. No, Jiang Wanchen doesn't like her too, right? She's a formidable opponent."
Jiang Wanchen rode a horse to catch up with Lu Zhiyun.
"Miss Lu's riding skills are very good!" Jiang Wanchen walked side by side with her.
Lu Zhiyun looked back at him: "You're not bad either."
"Want to compare?"
"OK!"
Xia Qingzhou and Jiang Yongyang watched a man and a woman galloping around the racecourse, and their happy expressions were particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Wanchen is indeed a very graceful young man.
He and Lu Zhiyun are also old acquaintances, so they get along very naturally. Lu Zhiyun has a good impression of him and is not wary of him. She gets along with him like a friend.
Xuan Wang Fan Yan met with someone at the racecourse. He saw Lu Zhiyun and other men smiling like flowers, and his eyes that were infected by power were dark.
"Your Majesty, do you also have a crush on the girl from the Lu family?" The military commander next to him showed a clear look. "What a pity, the Lu family treats this girl as a golden pimple, and no one will get anything good from it. If the prince does not marry the princess,
, The Lu family will give the prince face no matter what, but it’s a pity that you already have a main concubine. With Mr. Lu’s style of loving his daughter as much as her life, it’s impossible to send your daughter to be a concubine.”
"You're right." Fan Yan squeezed his palms.
Lu Zhiyun stopped, looked up and saw Fan Yan, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Fan Yan was heartbroken.
She could smile so happily when she was with Jiang Wanchen. The moment she saw him, the smile on her face disappeared. Could it be that in her eyes, he was so miserable?
"Xiao Yun'er..." Fan Yan rode over.
Lu Zhiyun originally agreed with Jiang Wanchen to leave, but when she saw him coming, she felt uncomfortable leaving at this time, so she went to meet him.
"I have met the prince."
"Xiao Yun'er, do you know your brother's situation?"
Lu Zhiyun shook her head.
"Your Majesty, you should call me Miss Lu!"
Calling her by her nickname in front of others, and this name is only called by those close to her, so what does it mean in the eyes of others? She doesn't want others to misunderstand her.
"Okay, Miss Lu." Fan Yan said helplessly, "I know something about your brother, let's talk somewhere else!"
Lu Zhiyun looked at Jiang Wanchen.
Jiang Wanchen said: "I happen to have something to ask the prince, so why don't I just bother you and go with you."
Fan Yan said calmly: "Okay, let's go then!"
When Lu Shaoyu arrived at the place, the people there were very barbaric and difficult to manage. In particular, there were many bandits there. Some people were ordinary farmers during the day, but became bandits at night, committing murder and robbery.
Lu Shaoyu is so young, even if he is a young genius, it is not easy to manage such evil people.
As Prince Xuan, Fan Yan is one of the few princes who can be reused by the emperor. He has reviewed many memorials, so he knows the situation with Lu Shaoyu very well.
Of course, she couldn't tell Lu Zhiyun all these things, otherwise she would have no intention of talking to him anymore, and would just jump off the carriage and go back to Lu's house to ask Lu Yi about these things.
Fan Yan told Lu Zhiyun some of Lu Shaoyu's 'good' things, but he concealed the bad things that he didn't like.
After all, he just wanted to talk to her a few more words and stay 'alone' with her for a while. He didn't want to cause trouble for her and make her unhappy. In that case, wouldn't she hate being with him even more?
Lu Zhiyun heard Fan Yan talk about Lu Shaoyu's situation and said: "No wonder my brother hasn't written to me recently. The last time he wrote was a month ago, he wrote a few words in a hurry. It turns out that he is so busy every day! But
With my brother's talents, I believe that he will make that barren land more and more prosperous in a short time, just like the city of Shanghai and North."
Fan Yan did not doubt Lu Zhiyun's words at all.
He was in Hubei City back then and saw with his own eyes how an ordinary city became more and more prosperous, its reputation was second only to the capital city, and even many businessmen from other countries would go there to have fun.
"Xiao Yun'er... Okay, Miss Lu, my princess is going to hold a birthday party in a few days, you can come too!"
"I won't go."
"That was my king's birthday banquet." Fan Yan said, "I personally invited you. If you didn't come, wouldn't it be too disappointing for me? In any case, we are also very good friends."
Lu Zhiyun hesitated: "I need to ask my family for instructions."
"I know the situation of your Lu family best. Master Lu and Mrs. Lu love you very much. As long as you are willing to come, they will definitely not stop you."
"My lord, do you insist that I make it so clear?" Lu Zhiyun opened the curtain and looked outside and said, "Your princess and I don't like each other. If we attend such a banquet, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. Before.
No matter how carefully we attend a banquet, even if it is held by my family, there will always be someone tampering with it. I feel scared when I see the banquet now."
"Your Majesty, I have some questions that I would like to ask you for advice." Jiang Wanchen changed the subject.
Fan Yan's face looked very strange and he couldn't let Lu Zhiyun talk any more.
We were all men. Jiang Wanchen could see Fan Yan's thoughts. Of course, he also knew that for such a noble man, a woman's rejection would only make him more obsessed and would not give up in spite of difficulties.
Fan Yan lowered his eyes and said to Jiang Wanchen: "Master Jiang, just say, as long as I understand it, I will teach you."
Jiang Wanchen mentioned ordinary court matters, which was a question about the Ministry of Revenue. Fan Yan said a few words casually, his eyes still on Lu Zhiyun.
"Your Majesty, I want to get off the car." Lu Zhiyun saw Su Zhiliu in the crowd and said to Fan Yan, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending me back."
Fan Yan watched Lu Zhiyun squeeze into the sea of people and quickly disappear.
"Master Jiang, do you have any questions to ask?" Fan Yan asked, "If there are no other questions, I will not send you off."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts. I'll take my leave." Jiang Wanchen got off the carriage.
