Since the usurpation of the throne by King Wu of Zhou, the Great Li Dynasty has been divided into three states, Zhou, Zhao, and Jiang. After several failed expeditions, King Wu of Zhou had to recognize the emperors of Zhao and Jiang. Decades have passed, and the war between the three kingdoms has subsided. Now the state of Zhou guards half of the country south of the Yangtze River, the state of Zhao lives in the southwest, and the state of Jiang occupies the rich land south of the Yangtze River.

The last emperor of Jiangguo, the current Emperor Taishang, was originally a merchant and was extremely keen on domestic and overseas trade even during his reign. Jiangguo does not produce horses, and unlike the Great Zhou, there are no Hu people in the northwest, so there is no cavalry, but because it is keen on overseas trade, it has a fleet that is far inferior to the Great Zhou. In peacetime, they sail long distances to do business, and once there is a war, they can be converted into warships at any time.

Jiangguo not only occupies the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but is also keen on trade, and is the richest country among the three countries.

Jiang Yan came to Zhou this time to ask for marriage to Lu Yunrong, the general's concubine.

Although the general and Princess Jiayi intended to marry Lu Yunrong to him, it was a pity that his parents agreed, but his uncle did not agree. The two emperors of the Zhou State, the first emperor King Wu of Zhou and the current emperor Zhou Chang, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Lu family's army, have always only given money and did not interfere, and even the generals were not appointed by the emperor, but were elected by the Lu family themselves.

Now that the general is actually going to marry his daughter to the prince of Jiang State, Zhou Chang is of course not happy. In order to appease her emperor brother, Princess Jiayi wanted to postpone the matter of the marriage first, but she didn't expect the general to die violently at this juncture.

Jiang Yan found that he suddenly had more choices.

The former general was the second room of the Lu Mansion, and the general did not marry a concubine, and the first son and three daughters were all born to Princess Jiayi. Although the eldest son, Huwei General Lu Yunwei, is a strong candidate for the position of general this time, Jiang Yan has already inquired clearly, although the eldest son of the eldest son Lu Yunsheng has average martial arts, but the second son Lu Yunchang grew up in the military city since he was a child and has always practiced martial arts hard, and the third son Lu Yunshen is the eldest disciple of today's martial saint Shen Sheng, who apprenticed at the age of four and has followed the martial saint to learn art so far. Lu Yunshen rarely goes home, and the people in Lu Mansion don't know the depth of his martial arts.

And the long room also has a concubine in the boudoir, Lu Yunrou.

Sanfang Rende General Lu Rongwu is only thirty-six years old this year, which is when he is in the prime of life, not to mention that his eldest son, Shu and the second son, also grew up in the military city and has strong martial arts. There are three tiger generals in one room, father and son go into battle together, and the possibility of the general falling into the third room is also very great.

Lu Yunzhen, the daughter of the third room, is fifteen years old this year, and she is engaged to the only son of the Shangshu of the Zhou State Ministry of Rites, but there are two concubines in the third room, one of whom is sick all the year round and never comes out to see people. Jiang Yan hasn't seen it either. Another concubine, Lu Yunhui, is the same age as Lu Yunrou, and she is also fourteen years old this year. Since it is a marriage, a qiē puts interests first, and it is not impossible to consider the concubine.

Marrying the crown princess is related to the foundation of the country, and marrying with the General's Mansion of Zhou is related to the stability of his position, this is not simply looking for a wife, so before the competition, no matter which one, he has to be perfunctory first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan looked at the room full of delicate girls blooming like spring flowers, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It's also very tiring to have so many bowls of water to be leveled.

The three sisters of Lu Yunrong were all wearing white linen filial piety clothes and sat on the big kang near the window. Lu Yunzhen and Lu Yunhui in the third room stood beside the old lady, Lu Yunrou stood between her brother and Shen Yu, and a group of people formed a big circle, surrounding the old lady and listening to Shen Yu tell her about what she had seen and heard from Pingjiang Mansion to the capital. And Shen Yu's little maid stood in the corner, looking very nervous.

Jiang Yan was looking at the people in the room, and An Yixin was also watching coldly.

When she first entered the house to salute the old lady, An Yixin secretly looked at it, there were no boys in the house, indicating that An Yijing was not there, and when Lu Yunrou took Shen Yu's hand and introduced him to the young ladies in the house, An Yixin was even more sure that these were all young ladies from the Lu Mansion, and no one had the surname An.

An Yijie and An Yijing did not come. They didn't come, so Lu Rongjin must have not picked to go back to his parents' house today.

Although secretly relieved, An Yixin was also a little disappointed. Last time Lu Rongjin was so proud to show off his pair of children in Wushan Town, An Yixin was actually a little curious.

But after getting this pair of precious children, the scumbag father never answered their mother and son.

Although An Yixin did not hold a grudge against An Yijie and An Yijing's sister and brother for his ruthlessness and unrighteousness, he was a little angry in his heart. How good do they have to be, so that because of them, they let the scumbag completely forget about their eldest daughter?

Even if he covets the backer of Lu Mansion and doesn't want to make Lu Rongjin angry, but for twelve years, he should at least secretly send some living expenses, right?

It's hard for his mother to think about him wholeheartedly.

An Yixin was thinking about it, when she heard the little maid come in and report that Miss An An had arrived.

I really want to come to something!

However, the little maid neither said that the prime minister's wife nor the fourth lady had arrived, so Lu Rongjin did not come together. An Yixin thought to herself, although she was still standing in the corner, she turned her head to look at the door.

The old lady's main room is the main room, and the main room is all five main rooms. The room they are in is the East Room, not only a few young ladies in the Lu Mansion, but also the old lady's maids and grandmothers, the personal maids of the young ladies, and a big room of lively people, so An Yixin feels that as long as she stands in the corner and does not make a sound, An Yijie and An Yijing may not be able to notice her.

A young girl wearing a snow-white silk skirt walked in. She combed her hair in a hanging bun, and there was a silver beaded flower on the sideburns, and the pearls were round, the size of a dragon's eye. Slender eyebrows, snow-white skin, light and elegant gait, although she is still young, she is really a beauty.

She still has breasts. An Yixin thought depressedly. She was only twelve years old and had breasts. I haven't yet!

Of course, An Yijie's breasts are completely incomparable with Qiuyue, but the slightly raised curves just right reduce the girl's youthfulness and add charm.

Although I secretly guessed how noble the prime minister's daughter was, I saw An Yijie dressed in plain clothes, but she had exquisite tailoring, complicated embroidery, and only wore a beaded flower, but the pearl the size of a dragon's eye was luxurious. No wonder her mother is proud, she is really much better looking than her mother. Of course, An Yixin refused to admit that she was a little jealous, but just thought hatefully.

An Yijie's eyes flowed, smiled and nodded to the sisters in the room, walked up to the old lady, and bowed her knees with a smile, "Grandmother." ”

The old lady waved her hand again and again, "It's okay, come and eat a snack." ”

"Yesterday, my grandmother said that sugar walnuts were delicious, so I asked Lan Xin to make some more when I went back, and I brought them here today." An Yijie said and beckoned. A maid with bright teeth stepped forward, holding a square jar with pine, bamboo, plum and longevity patterns in her hand.

"Good, good." The old lady responded, smiling so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows. "Didn't you say that Yi Jing was also here, why didn't you come in?"

"Look at the chrysanthemums outside!" An Yijie said with a smile.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." As he spoke, a teenager walked in.
