Chapter 62: Homecoming
"Let the little lady be frightened, it is Wu's carelessness, and please forgive the little lady." Now that it has been exposed, Wu Xian Ling apologized generously and arrested this evil servant, which can be regarded as selling face to General Lou.
Seeing that Wu County Commander was about to leave immediately, Lou Zheng smiled and stayed, "Since the county magistrate is here, it's hot outside, drink a cup of sour plum soup to rest the summer." ”
Wu Xian Ling took a sip of sour plum soup and drank it comfortably, his eyes opened as soon as he tasted it, and then he took a cup of grunt, only to feel that it was extremely cool, and there was still a slight sweet and sour taste in his mouth.
In fact, this sour plum soup is not uncommon in Shengjing, but this chilled one is not ordinary.
In the summer, except for the royal family and a few nobles who can use ice, ordinary families cannot afford to use it, let alone ordinary people.
Although the size of Wuxian Ling is also an official, but compared with the nobles, he was far from the nobles, and he was surprised when he drank the iced sour plum soup, he knew that this manor was royal, but there was no ice cellar on this Zhuangzi, and this little lady could get ice in a short time, which is worth pondering.
Lou Zheng achieved his goal, and he did not keep the order of Wu County, and asked Zhang Gouzi to send him out.
Lu Qiao cleaned up the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: "Little lady, this Wuxian order is not confused. ”
Lou Zheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and instructed Lu Qiao to pick up the clouds, "Don't pack our baggage and boxes tonight." ”
"Huh? Why? The medicine slave turned his head and asked puzzled.
"By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, we will move into the house in Shengjing City. By the way, inform Zhang Gouzi and Yu Jiu and others of this matter, and let them choose hundreds of people to enter Shengjing City with us. The others remained on the Zhuangzi. ”
Lu Qiao frowned and thought about the little lady's words, hundreds of people, so many people must be impossible to live in the Lou family's main house, could it be that the little lady has already found another place to live? But it's not right, General Lou didn't separate from the main house, how could he live outside. But although Lu Qiao didn't figure it out, he still did what Lou Zheng ordered.
General Lou saw Emperor Taikang and was sent out of the palace by He Lin all the way, but his mood was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
The decree of the reward has already been issued, and it is just waiting for it to be read out in public at the great court meeting in two days. Tai Kangdi also deliberately showed him the reward decree in advance.
Because in recent years, Emperor Taikang wants to weaken the power of the noble family. There are very few titles already, and no matter how great the merit is, the title will not be given to the officials. It is even more impossible to have a title with Danshu iron coupons. This was also expected by General Lou.
He originally returned to Beijing for his daughter's marriage and pension. There is no imposition on official power or anything. In the future, I will be idle, and when my niece and nephew are born, it is just right to enjoy the joy of family. After so many years on the border, his health is not good, and he has left many dark diseases, if it weren't for his daughter often helping him recuperate, I'm afraid he would not be able to lead the army at this time.
However, although he was not given the title of marquis, his daughter was given the title of county lord...... And has a Danshu iron coupon...... This is no different from the county lord who is truly recognized by the royal family, which is quite a rare and generous reward.
asked the emperor why, the emperor just looked at him with a meaningful smile, and General Lou, who was laughing, got goosebumps.
Immediately, the emperor asked His Royal Highness King Rui about meeting him in the Jinjing realm.
General Lou didn't expect Emperor Tai Kang to bring up this matter in front of him, he glanced at the emperor at the top worriedly, "After all, the little girl was raised outside, and the emperor really doesn't mind the little girl being his daughter-in-law?" ”
Emperor Tai Kang laughed, unable to distinguish between joy and anger, "The general of Zhenbei, who can defeat 50,000 strong Tuhun soldiers, why is this little confidence lost now?" ”
General Lou bowed his head slightly, he didn't really want his daughter to get involved in the royal affairs.
Tai Kangdi's face suddenly changed, and he sighed, "You think I don't want to choose someone who is both talented and good-looking, this is Ah Zhe's own choice, what can I do." ”
General Lou secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, isn't my daughter talented and beautiful, the emperor is really cheap and obedient.
Both of them are fathers, and Emperor Tai Kang is not much older than General Lou, and at a glance, he knows what he thinks in his heart, "Lou Xinhou, don't be complacent, although your daughter is good, but my son is not bad, otherwise I can rest assured that he will coordinate the East China Sea Division?" ”
General Lou laughed dryly twice and did not comment.
Emperor Tai Kang was angry, so he asked General Lou to hurry home and not be an eyesore in front of him, but before leaving, he informed the county lord's mansion.
The reason why Tai Kangdi is so generous this time is entirely because of his son.
What do you think, Lou Zheng has been named the county lord, and he is not going to marry his son in the future, that is, he is a royal man, and this title is not like giving it to his own family.
This old emperor has a good calculation.
He Lin felt uncomfortable, he already knew that General Lou would stay in the capital in the future, not only that, but also serve in the Imperial Forest Army, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, although he was an idle post that didn't care about anything, but he was also a second-rank official higher than his official position, strictly speaking, he was his top boss, although he didn't need to ask General Lou for instructions on everything, but he still had to salute when he saw him.
So when General Lou was sent to the main mansion of Lou Mansion in Shengjing, he was silent all the way, and he didn't say a few words to General Lou.
General Lou was thinking about things all the way, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and the guards around him reminded him to go to the main house.
General Lou looked up at the tall "Lou Mansion" plaque hanging above the gate, and his heart was mixed for a while.
He has been away from home for more than ten years and has not returned until today, but this Lou Mansion has long been no longer what he remembers.
He left the Lou family with pain at that time, the Lou family still lived in a small official family in Xinghuafang, the house was not big, and the words on the door were just a small wooden sign, which was a world of difference from the current style. All these changes made him in a trance for a moment, as if this was a stranger's house, and he hesitated to take a step.
The general has been away from home for more than ten years, and the guards behind him saw the main horse leading the horse and standing at the gate staring at the plaque motionless, and they were all silent and silently following behind him.
At this time, the little guy who happened to be guarding the door came out of the corner door next to him, and when he saw a group of people standing at the gate, his brows immediately wrung up, "Where did you come from, go quickly, go quickly, don't stand in front of our house, do you know whose house this is, be careful of offending and cutting off your head!" ”
This little guy spoke arrogantly, and rolled his eyes at General Lou after speaking.
General Lou's thick eyebrows twisted, his eyes stared at the little guy with a slight coldness, although the little guy was frightened by his momentum, he didn't flinch, but glared at him fiercely, "What do you see, when my general comes back, I won't gouge out your eyes!" (To be continued.) )
