Lu Qingrong felt that Jiang Xuan was a little weird.
It is obvious that he mentioned the matter of Mrs. Jiang's jade pendant in a big circle, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a "casual ask".
After waiting for a while, seeing that Jiang Xuan was gone, Lu Qingrong didn't ask any more questions, but continued: "In the cabinet in the inner room, there is a small camphor wood box, and the jade pendant is placed in the box. "My gut told her that it might really be something important, and that's why I said it in great detail.
Jiang Xuan smiled heartily and stopped mentioning the matter.
Pulling Lu Qingrong back to sit on the red sandalwood circle chair in the hall, Jiang Xuan talked about going to Mobei.
first told Lu Qingrong about the candidates he had set together with Jiang Yuanzhao in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and in Lu Qingrong's opinion, these were all unfamiliar names, without exception.
It's just that in the end, Jiang Xuan's face began to become uncomfortable.
"There is another person, I also want to take him to Mobei with me." Jiang Xuan's speech slowed down.
"Who?" Lu Qingrong knew that this person must have been known by himself, and a slightly vague figure flashed in front of him in an instant, "But that Lord Sun?" She almost felt that it must be Sun Yiming.
"It's not! How can the two of us leave Beijing at the same time......" Jiang Xuan's voice did not fall, realizing that he had lost his words, but he didn't care too much, and then explained: "It's Jiang Ling, this is also what he asked. Since he came back from Mobei this time, I have had a few encounters with him, and I feel that he does have an unusual perception over there, and my uncle and Sun also think so. ”
"He asked for it himself, and you agreed?" Lu Qingrong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Xuan and the others to value him so much, nor did he expect Jiang Ling to be so persistent in Mobei, "After all, he is a powerless scholar, can he really help you?" ”
Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned, Lu Qingrong's statement seemed to make him very useful, but he saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he soon returned to normal.
"I can't say that." Jiang Xuan retorted: "The trip he and Lord Sun went to catch up with the surprise attack of the Fanmeng people, Jiang Ling can be regarded as in danger, and he also helped take care of the wounded on the front line. This time to escort Jiang Meng back to Beijing, he also made a lot of efforts along the way. In addition, let him accompany Mobei, and Mr. Chu also agreed. ”
Hearing this, it was not difficult for Lu Qingrong to find that this was not Jiang Xuan's temporary decision, so he didn't say much.
If it was a side matter, Jiang Xuan would have to bring Jiang Ling when he left Beijing, and Lu Qingrong would definitely smile in his heart even if he didn't say it. But now that the war is approaching, her heart is inevitably a little heavy.
Lu Qingrong sat in the hall with Jiang Xuan for a long time.
At the right time, it was Jiang Xuan who got up first, and the two of them went back to the inner room.
Entering the inner room, she also walked hand in hand to the hollow double-sided screen of teak carved lotus, the same Jiang Xuan leaned over and gently dropped a kiss between her eyebrows, and Jiang Xuan also helped her lift the curtain......
One qiē and one qiē are the same as in the past, and the two of them sleep in two rooms inside and outside.
Early the next morning, just after Yin Zheng, Jiang Xuan got up and prepared to enter the palace.
Three hours later, Jiang Xuan, who had entered the palace to face the saint, had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and the holy decree followed.
The emperor ordered the mobilization of troops from Liaodong, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, and gathered them in Beijing and Xuanfu to stand by. The strength of the five capital divisions, plus 50,000 Zhenbei iron cavalry, a total of 200,000 troops, set out to conquer Mobei.
Jiang Xuan was named the chief military officer, hung the seal of the general of the north, commanded the whole army, and set out three days later.
Lu Qingrong had already known about it, and when he heard the news, he was not as surprised as others.
It's just that what followed was another will of the emperor, which was a bit unexpected to her.
The emperor gave Jiang Ke an official, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Beicheng Terrach.
Although he only has the seventh grade, and he is an idle job that doesn't care about anything, he still makes Mrs. Wu and Qiu Jinting and others very happy. After all, this is the emperor's personal decree to seal the official, and this glory alone is enough to impress others.
Jiang Xuan was going to go on an expedition, and Jiang Ke had an official. Mrs. Wu simply felt like a double happiness......
Lu Qingrong didn't have much thought about Jiang Ke's official status. Jiang Xuan's expedition is imminent, and it is normal for the emperor to show favor to the Hou Mansion. only sealed the deputy commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, Lu Qingrong felt that this was really not high.
What really caught her attention was the "three days later".
As soon as Jiang Xuan returned to Yuyuan, she couldn't help but step forward: "Why are you in such a hurry?" If so many troops are to be transferred to the capital and Xuanfu, how can it be completed in three days? ”
"Of course, three days is not enough!" Jiang Xuan smiled, "The emperor has been preparing for this for a long time, I'm afraid it won't take three days later, and at this time, the soldiers and horses of those capitals have already gathered in these two places!" ”
Lu Qingrong sighed secretly in his heart and began to count the days.
Three days later, March 15, the deadline for the expedition was due.
And tomorrow, March 13, is her birthday.
At this time, Lu Qingrong was already in no mood to worry about his birthday, and only thought about what he could do for Jiang Xuan......
However, on the second day, it was so busy that Lu Qingrong almost couldn't remember his birthday.
March 13 is the day when Cui Yan, the prince of Wuding, and Jiang Yunpei get married.
If someone else gets married, Lu Qingrong is just to pick one of the mansions on both sides to congratulate him. But after all, it was Jiang Yunpei, who had been like a sister to her since childhood, so she first went back to the South Courtyard of Lufu accompanied by Jiang Xuan, and then returned to the wedding banquet of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion with the welcoming team.
Originally, the prince's funeral period had not passed, and the Marquis of Wuding Mansion was ordered to "complete the marriage in a low-key manner", and the welcoming procession along the way was hardly loud. But when Lu Qingrong came to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, he was really taken aback by the situation inside.
I saw that there was not much decoration in front of the Hou Mansion, only a pair of big red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate, and when I entered the mansion, it was just a red felt paving, and the lights were held along the road, and the whole set of furnishings was not publicized at all.
The only thing that doesn't seem to be too low-key is the number of guests. Just looking at the countless carriages parked at the gate, it is not difficult to guess how many noble officials have come inside.
At this time, Lu Qingrong didn't realize that congratulating the prince of Wuding was naturally the name of these people coming one after another, but Jiang Xuan, who made his last public appearance before the expedition, was also the focus of some people.
Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan had just been welcomed into the mansion, and the first people they met were Jiang Ke and Qiu Jinting, who came together.
Jiang Ke, who had just obtained an official position yesterday and was among the officials of Daqi, couldn't wait to come out so soon to socialize. Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart. Look at Qiu Jinting standing beside him, dressed in honey-colored embroidered hundred butterflies carved silk armor, with the same color embroidered gold skirt, her hair pulled into a fallen horse bun, and a parrot green jade head and face make her a little more stable than before.
Lu Qingrong didn't have time to take a closer look, only to see a figure flash beside him, and when he passed by them, he walked away quickly without greeting anyone, as if he was hiding something.
Thinking that this person was Song Shixiang, the reckless and unreasonable second master of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, Lu Qingrong took it for granted that he was hiding from himself and Jiang Xuan because of the matter of Guangyin Temple.
