Chapter 253: Promotion
Lu Qingrong pondered for a moment, and then immediately invited Cao's mother over.
As soon as Cao's mother entered the house, she was quite surprised to see that Shizi and his wife were there.
"There's something I want to ask Mother Cao." Lu Qingrong was the first to speak.
Ever since she heard about the relationship between Mother Cao and Mrs. Jiang in her early years, she couldn't help but have more respect for her.
"Mrs. Shizi just asks." Cao's mother is extremely humble.
"Back then...... That is, the night before Mrs. Jiang passed away, can you still find those things in the house now? Lu Qingrong asked.
Mother Cao looked at the prince and his wife with stern faces, and recalled very seriously: "At that time, Mrs. Jiang was very sick and fierce, and some people even thought that she was infected with a serious disease, and the house inevitably became panicked. But as Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Wu did not dare to burn her relics lightly, and finally in order to appease everyone, she sent someone to put all the furnishings in the house in one place and transported them to Zhuangzi in Daxing. ”
"Everything was taken away?" Lu Qingrong asked.
Cao's mother was about to reply, but was interrupted by Jiang Xuan.
"It's everything." Jiang Xuan's tone was very lonely, and his voice was low and ethereal, "When I ran over the next day, my mother's house was empty......
Lu Qingrong suddenly felt depressed in his heart, and seemed to be able to feel his grief and helplessness at that time.
Cao's mother replied at this time: "Indeed, as the prince said, everything in the house has been transported out of the house. ”
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he couldn't hide his disappointment.
At the beginning, the maid and wife in the Yu Courtyard had only worked for more than ten years, but now they can't find any of them. Those things that are shipped out of the house are probably just as bad luck.
But she still asked with a hint of luck: "Which Zhuangzi is in Daxing?" Can you still find it? ”
The Marquis of Jingyuan's Grange in Daxing is really a bit much.
Mother Cao really shook her head, very helpless: "The slave maid definitely can't ask Mrs. Wu directly, I was thinking at the time, and when the people who transported it returned home, I would ask for clarification." But they didn't want to, and those people never came back. At first, he said that he stayed in Zhuangzi, but later, like the maids and women in Jingchun Hall, he redeemed himself and disappeared. ”
Lu Qingrong frowned, remembering that the small kitchen was burned down by a fire, and Mrs. Jiang's inner room was also emptied......
Suddenly, she felt as if the matter had reached a dead end.
Now only Aunt Chen and Aunt Wei are left.
Lu Qingrong extremely hoped that these two people would be left behind, even if they couldn't find the incense they ordered that night, they could help find Mrs. Jiang's relics, which must be of great significance to Jiang Xuan.
Tilting her head slightly, she found that Jiang Xuan was sitting there distracted, looking preoccupied.
Lu Qingrong turned back to Cao's mother.
"There is something I want to bother Cao's mother, after all, I don't worry about others doing it." Lu Qingrong continued: "Tomorrow, you can go to the Zhuangzi where I am married, and have a good talk with the two aunts, if you can get some clues and find Mrs. Jiang's relics back, it will be the best." ”
Cao's mother immediately responded: "The slave should do her best." ”
With Cao's mother's ability to do things, as well as her deep feelings for Mrs. Jiang, Lu Qingrong is still relieved.
Waving his hand to let Cao's mother go back to prepare first, Lu Qingrongfu turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan again.
"I'm afraid there's not much hope." Jiang Xuan sighed, "Every time there seems to be some progress, it suddenly becomes stagnant again, and I am also a little used to it......"
Lu Qingrong didn't want him to be lucky, after all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Not this time, there will be a next time." She said lightly: "I always believe that as long as something happens, it is impossible to find no traces." ”
Jiang Xuan nodded and said no more.
After that, the two tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.
Jiang Xuan's expression gradually returned to normal.
In the afternoon, after Jiang Xuan went out, he brought good news back to Lu Qingrong.
Lu Yiduo showed his effectiveness in the overall planning of military rations this time, which made the guarantee sufficient, played a crucial role in the victory of Mobei, and was praised by the emperor.
The original famous old Shangshu Kong in the Ministry of War, this time the emperor personally approved him to give office.
Lu Yiduo was directly promoted from the left attendant of the military department to the secretary of the military department, becoming one of the highest-ranking officials of the six ministries, and at the same time still serving as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
Although he has not yet been able to enter the cabinet at this time, it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that he is basically in line.
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he naturally couldn't hide his joy.
"Shall we go and congratulate?" Lu Qingrong turned to feel inappropriate, "You just came back from Mobei and are still recuperating, isn't it good to show off like this?" ”
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Xuan smiled, and was quite touched by her thoughtfulness, "The emperor has a lot of affection for Sun Shangshu, and he must have to spend a few more days on his Zhishi matter, so it can't be too easy for everyone to watch, so although the holy decree is prepared, it may take some time to pass on the decree." I'm just going to tell you first, so that you can be happy in advance. ”
"Joy indeed!" Lu Qingrong's face was happy.
"There is another happy event now, and you need to prepare our gifts first." Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered.
"Whose happy event?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"Mr. Chu." Jiang Xuan explained: "The emperor made an exception this time and sealed him for editing the Hanlin Academy, which is a special case that has not been seen for many years. In addition, the emperor also made up a holy decree for him to give him a marriage, specifying that he should hold a lively wedding banquet, and it must be full of guests to not be considered to resist the decree. ”
Lu Qingrong was not too surprised.
Although the relationship between Mr. Chu and the emperor has always been confusing, Lu Qingrong feels that it must not be simple.
Especially this time when Jiang Xuan went on the expedition, the emperor did not interfere in the selection of the deputy general, and fully agreed to the candidates recommended by Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yuanzhao after discussion, and did not send a supervising army, only let Mr. Chu accompany alone.
This trust is no longer something that others can get.
Lu Qingrong was just a little curious, in order to show his favor, the emperor pointed out that it was okay to get married, but it was not enough to interfere with other people's wedding banquets.
Chattering? Full of guests?
This is not like what the Holy Decree should have.
And just by virtue of her relationship with Mr. Chu, Lu Qingrong felt that this was probably not what he wanted.
"Mr. Chu doesn't look like a person who likes to be lively." Lu Qingrong said euphemistically.
"Not really!" Jiang Xuan couldn't hide his smile, "I just came back from Mr. Chu, and he was worried about this!" ”
"The emperor's order is hard to disobey, and he can only endure this time." Lu Qingrong said with emotion: "Fortunately, there is the emperor's holy purpose, I'm afraid that people who come to congratulate him don't need him to invite them." ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but wonder what such a maverick and somewhat eccentric person would look like in the mansion.
Jiang Xuan seemed to see through her thoughts, and then said: "Mr. Chu has already decided, the wedding banquet is not held in the mansion, and everyone is invited to Shunde Building." ”
Lu Qingrong was stunned.
Going to a restaurant for a wedding banquet?
That's too far ahead of its time, isn't it...... R1152
