Chapter 125: I'm Willing to Bet
Seeing her daughter mention Jiang Yan, the light in her eyes was as bright as a star, and the third lady was proud and gloomy in her heart.
The daughter has a high heart and wants to marry a wishful husband, of course she is happy to be a mother, but Jiang Yan is too tall.
His sister-in-law was born in Jiangmen, and her second sister-in-law is the princess of this dynasty, the sister of the emperor's mother, and although her father is a scholar, her mother is a concubine of Ya Sheng, and she is just a concubine. His background is far inferior to Lu Yunrong and Lu Yunrou's mother, and it is already the limit of hard work for him to let his daughter marry Shangshu's sister-in-law.
And now, the daughter actually wants to marry the prince.
The third lady suppressed the inferiority complex in her heart and worked hard to settle down. She also had to admit that Jiang Yan was handsome, elegant and gentle, especially the natural nobility and elegance on his body that ordinary people could not learn, and his appearance alone was much stronger than Wang Gongzi. Moreover, Jiang Yan is the crown prince, the future emperor of Jiangguo, not only has the supreme and noble status, but also Jiangguo is the richest one of the three kingdoms, if his daughter can marry him, it is indeed much better than marrying the prince.
"But even if you become the queen in the future, but you are far away in Jiangguo, my mother just wants to see you, it is difficult." The third lady snorted.
"Mother, my daughter will be the queen in the future, can't she just take her mother to live in the palace?" Lu Yunzhen put her arm around her mother's shoulders and said with a smile. "The palace of Jiang Kingdom is definitely much more luxurious and comfortable than this Lu Mansion."
Hearing her daughter say this, the third lady also smiled, "But Prince Jiang first wanted to marry Yun Rong in the second room, and now it seems that he has moved his heart to Yun Rou in the long room, will he marry you?" ”
"Mother, you're confused. Prince Jiang was not interested in anyone, he only wanted to marry the general's sister, or daughter. Lu Yunzhen said with a smile. As long as my father or one of my brothers wins the competition and becomes a general, Prince Jiang will definitely marry me. ”
"And what if your father or your brother can't get a general?" The third lady said immediately.
Hearing what her mother said, Lu Yunzhen folded her fingers and counted it. "Lu Yunrong only has one brother, Lu Yunwei. Lu Yunwei's martial arts are good, but he is only eighteen years old, and his skills and experience are definitely not as good as my father's. As for the long room, I heard that Lu Yunrou's eldest brother Lu Yunsheng knew that his martial arts were not as good as Lu Yunwei, and he had decided not to participate in the competition, her second brother Lu Yunchang is twenty years old this year, and his martial arts are not as good as my father, but her third brother Lu Yunshen is Shen Sheng's eldest disciple, I heard that his martial arts are very high, but he has not compared with my father. ”
She paused at this point, looked at the third lady, and saw that the third lady only nodded, without adding anything, before continuing. "Although Lu Yunshen is a disciple of Shen Sheng, he is only sixteen years old after all. My father is twenty years older than him, and when he was in the prime of life, he practiced martial arts for twenty more years, so I don't believe he can't beat this hairy boy. Besides, there are my eldest brother and second brother, both of whom are going to participate in the competition. ”
Hearing her daughter say this, the third lady groaned and shook her head. "Such a big thing as a competition to win the general, the government and the eight cities and the second pass are all talking. I also heard people talk about it, saying that your father's level is about the same as Lu Yunwei, as for the two brothers you said who can participate in the competition, although they are a few years older than Lu Yunwei, they are not his opponents. As for Lu Yunzheng and Lu Yunhao, the two wastes, they are powerless, and they don't even have to play. ”
"I didn't count on those two waste brothers either." Lu Yunzhen said with a smile, "Even if the eldest brother and second brother are not good at martial arts, as long as they can play, they will be beneficial." Mother, do your math, there are three fathers and sons on our side, there are only two brothers in the long room, and there is only one Lu Yunwei in the second room, I don't believe that the three of us can't beat one or two of them. ”
Seeing that her daughter said innocently, the third lady couldn't help but smile, "The competition is one-on-one, and it is not a charge, how can it be like you said, as you said, it can be as if the father and son can go into battle together." ”
"You can't go into battle together, but there are always more people." Lu Yunzhen said with a smile.
A large number of people is indeed taking advantage, swords and guns have no eyes, even if it is a fist and foot fight, the fight is fierce and misses for a while, no bones are broken, as long as you fight to lose, seize the opportunity to make a ruthless move, even if it is just to make the opponent's hands and feet a little inflexible, it will be of great help to the next person. So if the two concubines really plan to keep their father on the throne, then their dead ghost husband is really likely to become a general.
Thinking of this, the third lady's heart was pounding with excitement.
She didn't dare to think about this matter, but today she let her daughter say it.
This is a great general, nominally in charge of eight cities and two passes, but in fact in charge of four cities and two passes. In addition to military salaries, there are also local taxes, which are not worth mentioning, but as long as they are at war with the Hu people, war horses, livestock, gold and silver, they can be snatched at will, and then there are pensions and rewards from the imperial court.
How much money can you get in a year!
The Dead Ghost Husband is now only in charge of two military cities, and he is still close to Fengyuan City, so he has no chance of fighting with the Hu people, but he is ...... after a year
It's a pity that all the money has been taken away by the who lives in the military city, and it is very difficult for him to save a good dowry for his daughter.
Lu Yunzhen saw the change on her mother's face, she was excited and resentful, and knew that she thought of the third lady of Rende again. She knew that her mother had never finished scolding the third lady of Rende, and sometimes she couldn't help but call Lu Yunxing over and point at him and scold his mother. Usually Lu Yunzhen would not persuade her even if she didn't accompany her mother to scold, but today she had more important things to convince her mother, so she had to pat her hand gently before her mother had a seizure.
"Mother, what do you think of your daughter's plan?"
The third lady took a long breath, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and settled down, "If you want to marry Gao Zhi as a phoenix, of course my mother can't stop you." However, there will be a martial arts competition in the first month of next year, what if your father is defeated and does not get the rank of general? ”
My mother has always looked down on my father, thinking that my father only became a general because he was the son of an old general. She never believed that her father could go one step further and become a general.
Lu Yunzhen didn't look at her mother again, she was angry, and slowly spit out four words, "I'm willing to bet." ”
The third lady looked at her daughter fixedly for a moment, only to feel that her daughter's current appearance was solemn and majestic, and she completely overwhelmed the beauty and delicacy of the past.
Maybe my daughter was born to be a queen. The third lady thought in her heart, and there was a little confusion in her pride. She worked hard for several years before she chose the prince for her daughter. She always thought that her daughter was extremely satisfied with this family business, but she didn't expect that there would be such a little twist and turn, and before she could wait for the final result, her daughter was disgusted with him and kicked him aside.
The third lady looked at her daughter and took a deep breath, "So no matter what, you won't marry Wang Gongzi again?" Do you have to get out of the marriage? (To be continued.) )
