Chapter 311, the letter returned late
The days of rushing always pass very quickly, seeing that there are five more days, we will arrive in the capital, but it is three days later than the scheduled day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The good weather lasted less than ten days, and Lu Ruxue caught up with the light snow season. Although the snow was not heavy, the temperature plummeted, so I had to order a slowdown of the trip.
Lu Ruxue asked Jian Sui to help send a message to the capital, so as not to worry her grandparents. At this moment, Mrs. Lu was listening to her eldest daughter-in-law, Tang, reading a letter to her.
"Yun's is the same, you can't let the two children start a few days earlier. On the way, it was cold and snowing, and I don't know if I will catch a cold and get sick from freezing. ”
Mrs. Lu had already received a letter from her son first, and Zhisan's daughter-in-law did not return to Beijing with her granddaughter this time. I didn't even plan to marry my granddaughter, I was holding back a wave of anger in my heart, and I didn't vomit or be unhappy.
The Tang family understands the Yun family a little, the men in the Lu Mansion do not accept concubines, and there is no one around them who knows how to take care of the cold and the hot. Nawangping is in a poor and remote area, which is really reassuring.
But the mother-in-law's words were not completely unreasonable, so she had to explain from the side, "Isn't there still a mother!" Otherwise, how could the little uncle take care of the uncle over there. ”
"My second uncle and I treat the child like snow, just like our own, my mother just rest assured, and the two of us will help her take care of it, and she will definitely be married."
"As long as your mouth is sweet, you can make trouble, you have married two daughters-in-law, and you have not grown." There are some complaints in the words, but there is no blame in the ears, but there is less estrangement like a mother and daughter.
This point, even the Yang family is incomparable. Tang smiled and took his mother-in-law's hand closely, pretending to be more and more tender.
"Alright, alright! You are also a mother-in-law, how can you still be like a child? But with you and the Yang family at home, I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
still didn't mention the Yun family, it seems that Mrs. Tai is still worried about the Yun family's non-return.
Usually, the Tang family is a little busy to preside over the middle feed of the house, so the Ping family and the Xu family, the two granddaughters-in-law, often come to talk to Mrs. Tai.
Yang had just given birth to a son a month ago, and he had just been out of confinement not long ago. Mrs. Tai took pity on her for not having a good birth at this age, so she was spared from morning and dusk. After the second room was available, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Tai were really happy for two days.
Lu Ruxue had already prepared a congratulatory gift, and before Yang's delivery, she sent it to Beijing with her parents' congratulatory gifts. On the side of the Huaiyuan clan, the hope of succession was shattered, and he did not come to the door of the Taifu Mansion for a while.
But the elders also understand that there is no hope of succession, and to maintain the relationship with the Taifu Mansion, it is impossible to always avoid it.
In fact, as long as the clan relatives do not commit adultery and commit great rebellion, Old Lady Lu will not break off this family affection for one day.
Mu Xuanyang, who returned to the house, was also reading the news sent by Jian Sui at this time.
"Jian Feng, immediately send someone out of Beijing to greet him. Because of the death of the crown prince before, the border was unstable. Various prefectures and counties reported that there were many outcasts and bandits. Seeing that the winter snow has arrived, the people who lack food and clothing have become bandits when they pick up knives, and they have to guard against it. ”
Mu Xuanyang looked at things from a martial point of view, which was very different from that of civil officials, and Taifu Lu Chengzu was also worried about the safety of his nephews and nieces, so he sent a nursing home to greet him, but he didn't think of this.
Jian Feng received the order, and before the city gate was closed, he sent someone out of the capital to go north all the way to meet the future young master's wife.
Lu Ruxue and his entourage took the New Year's gifts prepared by Lu Chengyao and his wife for the various prefectures in Beijing, and the birthday gifts for the old lady and Mrs. Tai, and there were countless carriages and horses. Because of this, there are more guards than usual. The long queue attracted a lot of people's attention, but no one dared to beat their ideas.
Closer to home, although the wild goose continues to pass on the book, but the closer to the capital, the more uneasy Lu Ruxue is, and Mu Xuanyang's shadow is entangled in his heart day and night, lingering in front of him.
I can't help but hate myself for not being angry, and I will have the feeling of "a little don't win a newlywed". This is not married yet, women are guilty of nymphomaniacs, but they are afraid that they will not lose the stupidity of men.
On this day, it happened that in the evening, he entered Yi County, the capital of Yanzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Political Envoy Department of Chengxuan, Shandong. If you are fast, you can enter Tianfu in two days.
Lu Chongyu saw that his sister had worked hard all the way, thinking that since he had already sent a letter back to Beijing, he said that he would be a few days late, so he was no longer in a hurry. discussed with Lu Ruxue, and wanted to stay in Yixian County for one more day.
Lu Ruxue was originally a little homesick, so naturally she would not object. Because Lu Ruxue has not yet left the boudoir, it is not good to live in the inn, that kind of mixed place.
But she didn't want to continue to live in the post station, so Lu Chongyu had to order someone to rent a small courtyard with two entrances. Fortunately, there were many people with him, and after more than an hour, he cleaned the snow in the courtyard and stayed temporarily.
"There are still two hours before the curfew, why don't you accompany your sister and go for a walk on the street?"
Lu Chongyu couldn't sit still for a long time, so he was naturally full of promises. Lu Ruxue didn't want to take the carriage anymore, so she ordered Caiyue to change into men's clothes together, and the brother and sister only took Jiansui, Lu Feng, Lu Lin and Caiyue out.
"Di Bao said that Ludi has a bumper harvest this year, and at this time, the restaurant and teahouse are still full, which shows that it is true."
"Wangping is thin and the land is barren, which is naturally different from Yixian County, which is close to Tianfu. Brother, this is a feeling. ”
"The emperor intended to promote the new grain as food, why did he send his father to a place like Wangping County, my father didn't say it, I really couldn't understand it for my brother."
"What the emperor thinks, my sister doesn't know. But if it were me, I would also choose Wangping County. First, the land of abundance, taxation is related to the fortune of the country, so there must be no mistakes or omissions. And if the new valley promoted by my father can change the wealth and poverty of a county, its contribution will not lose the expansion of territory. ”
And Wangping County belongs to Guangningwei, when my father wrote the book, it was mentioned that this new grain can not only be eaten by people, but also processed as feed. The war is a matter of food and grass, and the emperor's move should be of great significance. ”
These are just Lu Ruxue's speculations, as for what the emperor thinks, he is not in his position and does not plan his affairs. How could she know?
However, she guessed that it was already eight or nine, and Lu Chongyu nodded again and again. The two of them walked while talking, and happened to see a two-story restaurant on the side of the street.
The wine curtain at the door moves with the wind, and the sound of pushing the glass and changing the lamp is endless, and you can know that the business is good when you hear it.
"Why don't you have dinner here?" Lu Chongyu is already young and active, and he hasn't come to the restaurant for a long time, he is already a foodie, how can he resist the temptation of the aroma of food.
Jian Sui was a little worried about Miss Lu's safety, and just wanted to come forward to persuade her, but she heard that Miss Lu had nodded "yes". I had to be careful and followed a few people into the restaurant.
