Lu Qingrong is far from Jiang Xuan's calmness.

Hearing that the emperor chose Lu Chengjie as Jiang Ke's deputy general, Lu Qingrong's eyebrows tightened.

"What does the emperor think? Since Jiang Ke is in charge, why should he find an experienced lieutenant. My eldest brother is just a new science and technology jinshi, and he is still preparing for the Shu Ji Shi exam, and he will never recommend himself for this matter, so how did he finally choose him? ”

On the emperor's list, Lu Chengjie ranked fourth in the second class, with a significant advantage, and he was selected as a Shu Jishi, but now for the sake of the sentence "set off today" on the holy decree, he had to miss the road of the Hanlin Academy.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Especially on this expedition, even if the situation in Mobei is very good, it always makes people feel worried.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but pace back and forth in the room.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly went over and carefully helped her sit down: "Although Doctor Xu is instructing you to move more, you have been walking in the courtyard for half an hour in the morning, so you should rest at this moment." ”

Seeing Lu Qingrong sit still, he continued what he had just said and explained: "Of course it wasn't your eldest brother who recommended him, someone must have recommended him." ”

"Who will recommend him?" Lu Qingrong vaguely noticed, "In addition to Jiang Ke, most of the people on this trip also have more or less connections with the Wu family of An Lebo, so it is even more strange for my eldest brother to be among them." ”

Jiang Xuan said: "It's not strange, I underestimated them before, but now that I think about it, if I am a member of the Wu family, I will do everything possible to drag your eldest brother." ”

Lu Qingrong didn't turn the corner for a while, and he still looked puzzled.

Jiang Xuan continued: "People from the Wu family. There is no foundation in the army, and the same is true in the military department. In order to be foolproof in this robbery, it is natural to be well prepared. And they are accustomed to being cautious about the intentions of others. This is why you have to tie Jiang Ke and your eldest brother to the same boat, in case your father refuses to do his best in the rear. ”

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he finally came to his senses!

It turned out that the people of the Wu family were afraid that Lu Yiduo would stumble them behind their backs.

Lu Yiduo's official residence is still in the military department, and this kind of expedition must be the most important person in the rear, and he should have food and grass materials. They were all centrally dispatched by the Ministry of War.

Therefore, if Lu Yiduo deliberately added to the chaos, its impact would be fatal to the front-line generals.

At the beginning, Mrs. Wu knew this truth. When Jiang Xuan set out on the expedition, he tried to provoke the relationship between the Lu family and him......

After Lu Qingrong understood, he couldn't help sighing: "They really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" How could my father, for his own selfish desires, hinder the victory of the army! Not to mention. There was no conflict between his father and Jiang Ke. It's hard to believe that they are so far-sighted! ”

Lu Qingrong was so angry that he choked.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly relieved: "The Wu family has always acted like this, but it is not new, we can't be as knowledgeable as them." ”

Seeing that Lu Qingrong's complexion softened, Jiang Xuancai continued: "Actually, having your eldest brother as a deputy general has made me feel a lot more at ease. Although they all have no actual combat experience, compared with Jiang Ke, your eldest brother is undoubtedly a more stable person. Putting aside the so-called attribution of credit, Daqi was able to defeat Sato in the end. That's the most important thing. ”

At this point, Lu Qingrong also figured it out.

Now that the holy decree has been issued, Lu Chengjie's expedition is a sure thing, instead of lamenting the villainous behavior of the Wu family, it is better to take a look, hoping that Lu Chengjie can make a quick decision and come back with a military feat.

At noon that day, Jiang Ke and Lu Chengjie were ordered to leave Beijing.

The most proud is Mrs. Wu.

Different from Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong's thoughts, in the eyes of Mrs. Wu, the victory on the Mobei battlefield has already been in sight, and this credit is like pie falling from the sky, who grabs it is counted.

Now that Jiang Ke has made the trip, this military merit has become a foregone conclusion, it is just a difference between early and late.

Especially successfully brought Lu Chengjie, which can get twice the result with half the effort.

Mrs. Wu only felt that she had done everything she could, and as for whether the credit was big or small, it was up to Jiang Ke to fight for it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu showed a satisfied smile, but quickly sank her face again.

"Now, it's time to focus on solving the problems in the house." Mrs. Wu's tone was extremely cold.

Mother Lu wasn't sure what she was referring to, so she asked in a low voice, "In your opinion, should we solve the Lichun Courtyard side first, or deal with Mrs. Shizi first?" ”

Mrs. Wu sneered: "Over there in Lichun Courtyard, there is no need to be afraid at all. Although her belly is bigger, she is always a person who doesn't even have a name, and there is no one behind her to support her, so we don't have to worry, let's see if her baby is male or female, and then it's not too late to make plans. ”

Mother Lu immediately understood: "What you mean is to deal with Mrs. Shizi's side first......

"Of course!" Mrs. Wu made no secret of it, "If she really gives birth to a son-in-law, it will be a big trouble!" Today's Lu family is not to be underestimated, if we wait until she gives birth to the child, it will be even more inconvenient for us to act rashly! ”

Mother Lu nodded in agreement.

It's just that the master and servant muttered for a while, and they didn't come up with a perfect solution.

Mrs. Wu decided that Lu Qingrong was scheming, and it was better not to take action in person until the critical moment.

Before, she had learned a lot of lessons because of her reckless behavior.

Among them, there were two admonitions directly from the emperor, and I am still very afraid when I think about it now.

Especially the female ring sent by the emperor, she still hasn't figured out why.

Mother Lu was well aware of her worries, and proposed at the right time: "The slave maid thinks that there must be people in the Hou Mansion who don't want Mrs. Shizi to give birth!" In this case, it is better for us to use a little trick and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Mrs. Wu didn't know what she meant, but she was helpless: "I understand what you think." But since that Cheng Lijuan entered the mansion, we have worked her, but she seems to be a person who does not enter the oil and salt, and has always been closer to the Lu family, although it is not good to say whether this is true or false, but we are not in a rut! ”

Lu's mother doesn't think so.

"At this time and that time, Mrs. Shizi was not pregnant at that time! Now that Mrs. Shizi has also been diagnosed with Ximai, isn't she worried about the future of her child? As long as you make a fuss about this matter, you are not afraid that she will not be moved! ”

Mrs. Wu was moved by what she said, and the two planned in a low voice......

At the same time, there was another person in the Maple Courtyard who had a similar plan with them.

The difference is that He Qingwan does not want to rely on the power of others, but plans to do it himself.

On this day, under the warm sun of early spring, on the shore of Jinghu Lake, she waited for Lu Qingrong and Lijuan, who came out for a walk together. (To be continued.) )
