An Yu took Xia Xiaoan shopping for cakes. When he turned around, he saw An Yiheng.
"Madam, what are you looking at?" Ziyu followed An Yu's gaze and looked over.
"I seemed to have seen my brother." An Yu said, "But he was wearing an official robe."
"My uncle is wearing an official robe? It's impossible! My uncle didn't pass the Jinshi examination, and the time for the next scientific examination has not come yet." Zi Yu said.
"I haven't seen my brother for a long time. Ziyu, you go buy some other things. Let's go to my brother's house."
Her sister-in-law was weird and couldn't talk to her for more than a few words. In addition, the business in her shop was getting better and better, so she didn't like to go to An Yiheng's house even more.
Anzhai. When An Yu came to the door, An Yiheng was not there. The housekeeper said that "Madam" was at home.
An Yu wanted to ask about An Yiheng, so he followed the housekeeper to the backyard of An's family.
"Sanniang, you are an official's wife now. You are so lucky! Unlike our sisters, who are still welcoming guests and sending them off. By the way, how did you settle this Master An in the first place?"
"As a man, it's not easy to deal with them?" Wu Sanniang said with contempt. "He is where he is today thanks to me."
"How to say?"
An Yu turned around and left.
Ziyu chased after her: "Madam, I haven't seen Mrs. An yet, why are you leaving?"
"What's so good about this kind of woman?" An Yu said angrily.
"Then we should listen to what she will say next." Zi Yu said, "Didn't she say that my uncle is today thanks to her?"
"I'd better ask my brother directly! I can't hear half the truth from her." An Yu said, "It's not that I dislike her bad background, but you just heard that she was talking about my brother.
So contemptuous. If you don’t like my brother or even look down on my brother, why would you marry him?"
An Yu turned to the housekeeper and said, "What is my brother busy with recently? Why did he become an official?"
The housekeeper said: "I don't know anything about what the master is doing outside."
"Forget it."
An Yu went to find Mu Siyu, who was playing with blocks with Lu Shaojing. An Yu brought Xia Xiaoan. When Lu Shaojing saw Xia Xiaoan, he immediately abandoned Mu Siyu and said "brother".
"Why haven't you seen Xiao Qing'er?"
"She is pestering her sister." Mu Siyu said, "Why do you have time to come and play with me today?"
"There are a lot of things going on in the store recently, so I don't have time to come here, but I wish I could play with you every day." An Yu said, "I met my brother today..."
Then he gave an overview of what happened just now.
"It's easy. Send someone to guard the door of Anzhai. If your brother comes back, bring him over and ask." Mu Siyu handed her the juice, "Rather than asking others to ask, it's better to ask the person involved. This kind of thing is better.
Who knows better than the person involved?"
Mu Siyu arranged for his men to go to the opposite side of Anzhai to keep an eye on it.
Once he saw An Yiheng, he invited him into his house to talk.
Two hours later, the servant came back and reported that Mr. An had important matters to discuss with his colleagues and could not leave today. He would come to visit Marquis Lu another day.
"His original words were..."
"That's exactly what Mr. An said. He invited his colleagues to come to the government today to discuss matters. He can't get away and will visit Marquis Lu and his wife another day."
"Forget it, sister, my brother is busy as long as he is busy. It's not too late to find him another day. In fact, I can guess a little bit. He entered the court as an official without passing the scientific examination. He must have the help of a noble person."
"I just don't know who this noble man is."
Chanyi came in from outside and said to Mu Siyu: "Mrs. Su has been released."
"real?"
"Yes. I heard that General Su's betrayal of the country has been found out. He was simply framed. A battle report came from the border, saying that we won the battle with Feng Linguo."
"Mrs. Su suffered such an unreasonable disaster. Let's go see her tonight and help her get rid of her bad luck."
The whole country celebrated with news of a successful border. However, a few days later, there was news that Yi's army was approaching, and the two countries were attacking the same country at the same time.
In the court hall, all the civil and military officials were quarreling.
"The people of Yi State are brave and good at fighting. There is no benefit in starting a war with them."
"The Yi State is adjacent to our country across the sea. I heard that they have formed a new maritime army. If they attack from the sea, it is very likely to directly enter the capital."
"Your Majesty, it is clear that we should not go to war directly with the Yi State, but should send an envoy to negotiate. Speaking of which, our country has not married with other countries for fifty years. It is better to arrange a princess to marry the other country and form a marriage.
Very good, this can also avoid a major war."
Those who are willing to fight are already at the border, and the remaining civil servants are all peace advocates. The so-called peace is just an excuse for being timid and fearful of trouble.
In the crowd, Lu Yi and Qi Xiao looked at each other.
Yi Guo has already made moves. If it is willing to make peace, it will not go to war directly. The other party has obviously been prepared for a long time, waiting to eat this rotten country and expand its territory.
The old emperor was very annoyed, but the words of those civil servants touched his heart. He lived a leisurely life, and of course he did not want to fight. If the war could be calmed down by marrying a princess, let alone one princess, even if there were ten princesses, he would
I'm also willing to send it over.
"Then..."
"Your Majesty," Lu Yi said, "The Yi State's maritime army can directly invade Sanlin City, which is not far from the capital. Then we can also invade the opponent's country from the sea there."
"Master Lu, are you crazy?" someone said, "We don't have a maritime army."
"Then create one."
"Master Lu, do you know how difficult it is to create a maritime army that is proficient in the sea area? Now that the war is approaching, it is simply fanciful to form a maritime army temporarily and prepare warships. Master Lu is indeed very smart, but in
This is really too arrogant."
"The sea is inherently complicated and changeable, and many people who make a living on the sea died unjustly in that sea area. If we go to sea without training and wait for the army of Yi State to attack us, we will be trapped in it."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." The old emperor had a headache.
I forgot to take the pill today again.
"Isn't it true that Yi Guo hasn't attacked yet? Arrange a team of troops to guard Sanlin City. If anyone comes across the sea, they will be killed directly."
At this time, the old emperor did not say that he would send the princess to get married.
After leaving the palace gate, Qi Xiao was waiting there on horseback.
"Master Qi, is there something wrong?"
"It's a good idea to form a maritime army, but it won't be realized as long as he is in power."
"I understand, I just interrupted those people, otherwise the whole topic in the morning would have been to send a princess to please the Yi State to avoid being beaten."
"Yi Guo just wants to take advantage of the situation. If the war between us and Feng Linguo stops, Yi Guo will not dare to act rashly."
"Did you get any news?"
"There should be a civil strife in Feng Lin Country soon, and the fighting on the border will stop by then."
"No wonder you are so calm today. You don't care at all about those old guys wagging their tails like pugs. It turns out that you are sure that this war will not last long."
