"Miss! How does this make you a good worker, how can you do this kind of rough work? Let me do it myself. Shang Mei was a little cramped to stop Lu Wan from continuing to sort out the items on the bed.
After learning the news of Shang Mei's imminent arrival, Shang Yu ordered someone to clean up a small courtyard in the backyard, and handed over the matter of purchasing items to Lu Wan to deal with.
After more than half a year, Lu Wan is no longer the eldest lady who does not eat fireworks in the world, but has become very well-behaved, especially Shang Mei's mother-in-law in the future, although the house looks very tidy at this time, but she still can't help but pick it up again, but this move really scared Shang Mei's family.
"Auntie, you don't have to be polite to Wan'er! Wooden fish...... Oh, Shang Yu, he thinks about you every day, and he keeps asking me to clean this room at any time so that you can live comfortably. Lu Wan said excitedly at this time.
It seems that Shang Mei's complexion is very good, and he does not look tired because of the thousands of miles from Dali to Lai'an County, and it takes a month to come to Lai'an from Dali is indeed not slow, but it is by no means fast, it is obvious that the person who escorted Shang Mei's thought of not making her too busy.
"I didn't expect that a young lady like you could clean the room for me, it's so upset that I can't go. Hey! By the way, after Xiao Yu comes back later, I want to meet your mother, I have never seen the main mother, if I don't go to see it, I'm afraid it will be very rude. "Shang Mei already knew what happened between Shang Yu and Lu Wan from the people sent by Ma Xiuying, but he still felt that it was true when he saw Lu Wan's attitude towards her change.
Hearing Shang Mei's mention of Li Yanhong, Lu Wan's face became a little red, but then after thinking of something, he dyed a trace of sadness between his eyebrows, but it dissipated and faded in an instant, and Shang Mei's did not notice.
"Auntie! You will have a lot to talk about when Shang Yu comes back, and it is not too late to see my mother tomorrow, not to mention that her old man has just taken medicine at the moment, and she should be recuperating, so you can sit on the rattan chair and rest, let Wan'er clean up, and it will be convenient and comfortable for you to rest at night. Lu Wan said respectfully to Shang Mei's family.
"Your child is becoming more and more understanding, if you become our family's daughter-in-law, then the merchant will be blessed, I heard my people talk about this matter and still don't believe it, but Xiaowan, your changes are really big, it's really difficult for you, you must have suffered a lot in the past six months, right?" Seeing that Lu Wan insisted on cleaning up the house, Shang Mei changed his previous blocking and said approvingly, and even changed his title from eldest lady to little wan.
When she was young, Shang Mei's family was also a beautiful girl, if it weren't for the fact that the officers and soldiers slaughtered Meilong Town, she would not have fled to Quanzhou with her husband to settle down, and at this time, seeing that Lu Wan actually performed a junior salute to her, it was obvious that the matter with Shang Yu was true, and her heart couldn't help but rejoice.
"Look at what you said, where will I suffer from it, since I came out of Quanzhou, it was Shang Yu who escorted me all the way, so I almost lost my life, fortunately, the sky has eyes for us to reunite, aunt! When Shang Yu comes back later, you can tell us everything that happened to you at sea! Lu Wan said with a red face after hearing Shang Mei's change of title.
But in her heart, she remembered what Li Yanhong said to her a few days ago: "Xiao Wan! You have to remember that Niang's ancestor was the Minyue royal family, and he was destroyed by a disciple of Tieshanmen, a member of the Shang Alliance, which was controlled by Master Shang Yu, and the revenge of Tieshanmen must be avenged! The Iron Shirt Gate broke with the Shang Alliance back then, so you don't have to worry about Shang Yu refusing this matter, and it was also a disciple of the Iron Shirt Gate back then that he forced his mother to fake his death to escape his poisonous hands, so our mother and daughter will be separated for many years. ”
"This is why my mother no longer insists on Shang Yu's child helping your cousin to restore the country, only you still have an uncle in Hangzhou, he will support your cousin to recover my Minyue country, but after you marry Shang Yu, you need to use the power of the Shang Alliance to deal with the Iron Shirt Gate, no matter what method you use, you can't let go of the vicious sect of the Iron Shirt Gate, you may do it?"
Lu Wan was surprised to hear these words, she couldn't believe that her mother actually allowed her to marry Shang Yu for revenge, obviously because she valued Shang Yu's identity as the heir of the Shang Alliance.
At that time, Lu Wan had to agree to his mother's request after hearing this, because it not only involved the separation of his parents, but also involved the enmity of his ancestors.
Seeing that her daughter agreed to her request, Li Yanhong transferred all the remaining internal strength of her body to Lu Wan's body, and simply relied on the medicine given to her by Shang Yu to maintain her physical condition from deteriorating, and also taught her daughter all the martial arts she knew, which was also the direct reason why Lu Wan rarely left the county government for more than a month.
"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you, what are you thinking about?" Shang Meishi saw that Lu Wan suddenly stopped the movements of his hand, and seemed to be thinking in a daze, so he couldn't help asking.
Hearing Shang Mei's question, Lu Wan immediately came back to his senses and said, "Aunt! It's nothing, I just want to see my mother tomorrow, I want to take you around in Lai'an County, this Lai'an County is governed by Shang Yu in an orderly manner, and the merchants of the nearby state capitals have come here to operate, about a little bit of Quanzhou's three-point meteorology! Under this cover-up, Lu Wan obviously didn't want Shang Mei to see that she had something on her mind.
"Oh! After I entered the city, I saw the shops on the street on the road, all the shops are open and the business seems to be booming, I didn't expect our Xiao Yu to really have some skills. Hearing what Lu Wan said, Shang Meishi immediately said with some joy.
At this moment, as soon as the door rang, Shang Yu had already rushed into the house with eager steps, and when he saw his mother sitting on a wicker chair, his eyes were already a little red.
"Mother! The unfilial son Shang Yu gave you a gift. Shang Yu walked a few steps and ran to his mother's side, and immediately knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully to Shang Mei's three times.
"Xiao Yu, stand up! Let my mother take a closer look at you......" Shang Mei almost didn't dare to recognize when she saw a Shang Yu in an official uniform break in, but when she heard the voice, she looked at the son who was not her own between her eyebrows, so she slowly stood up and said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, mother!" Shang Yu stood up after saying that, his heart was ecstatic, but the big strings of tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes.
"My Yu'er has grown more than half a head taller than half a year ago, and she has become an official, my mother is really happy!" Shang Mei forcibly controlled himself to stay calm, but after all, he couldn't help but shed tears, and hugged Shang Yu and cried bitterly.
"On the sea, the sea boat was directly swept into the sky by the sea dragon, and the mother thought that she must not be able to live, but she didn't expect that not only did she not die, but she could see my feather in her lifetime."
"Mother, after knowing that you were swept away by a seaspout at sea, Xiao Yu was really sad at that time! I thought I would never see your old man again, but I didn't expect ......" Then Shang Yu and Shang Mei wept while telling each other's experiences, while Lu Wan persuaded the mother and son on the side to stop crying.
"So, mother! The old man of the Lu family, that is, Xiao Wan's father, was on another sea dragon? Fall? After listening to Shang Mei's encounter at sea, Shang Yu was able to control his emotions a little, and couldn't help but ask his mother.
"That's right, I see it clearly! Was it by another sea dragon? Drop, it's just that I was worshiped as a god by the locals after I landed in Dali, and my mother was afraid that she would be hurt if she said her true identity, so she didn't reveal her identity, and she once asked the locals to look for the Lu family master in Dali, but there was no news. When Shang Mei heard his son ask, he knew that Shang Yu was asking Lu Weixuan's whereabouts for Lu Wan, so he replied immediately.
Lu Wan's face couldn't help but turn pale after hearing this, and he thought to himself: "By the sea dragon? After eating, it actually fell thousands of miles away, and? It was another sea dragon that fell from my father's ship, and I don't know where it will take my father, and it doesn't necessarily survive, Daddy! Xiao Wan now understands your hard work back then, but you can't let Xiao Wan do your filial piety for you. ”
The following days were very easy, after Shang Mei's family met Li Yanhong, the two women actually talked very happily, this is because Shang Mei's family was born in a large family, not to mention the book, but also managed the backyard in an orderly manner, which surprised Lu Wan.
But Lu Wan didn't know that Shang Mei's family was clumsy when he was in Quanzhou, and Shang Yu's father was always reluctant to show his head, only because he was grateful for the life-saving grace of the Lu family and Lu Shaobei back then, so he had no choice but to take the caravan back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, which was related to a secret hidden in Shang Mei's heart.
But at this moment, Shang Yu is the order of Lai'an County, and Shang Mei's clan changed his normal way to give full play to his own ability, which naturally surprised Lu Wan a little.
Li Yanhong and Shang Mei's clan are discussing the matter of making Lu Wan and Shang Yu officially engaged at this moment. The marriage does not go through the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents, and it is announced to the neighbors, and the dowry is given, which is not counted. Even the poorest families have to go through this process.
Shang Yu is not in the city at the moment, but rushed to the Fengyu area, at this moment is training those young people who have a little bit of a soldier how to use and disassemble the ballista, and divided a hundred people into two batches to write down Shang Yu's arranged communication method, those complex percussion methods represent different meanings, if it is sent to the army through the same shocker, you can command the army smoothly, to achieve extremely strong mobility.
The second group of co-oscillators Shang Yu is also stepping up production, and the types of co-shockers of low-level generals are relatively small, and Zhu Yuanzhang, as Marshal Wing, will have nearly 100 co-oscillators, so that no matter which one sends the message, Zhu Yuanzhang can immediately know which army is sending the news, and it will not be heard by others.
And all officers have a unified synsizer for the whole army, which is used to convey unified orders, and every general will have it. Shang Yu chose 100 people because of the current number of generals in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and if the Chuzhou Righteous Army expands in the future, he can also enter the army at any time.
"Lord County, the old lady has come to invite you back to the house and say that there is something important." A messenger ran anxiously into the wooden house from outside the Fengyu Youth Barracks and said to Shang Yu.
"Oh! What is it? Shang Yu asked with some confusion.
"Ahem, Lord County, the old lady said that today is the day of your engagement, but you got up early in the morning and rushed to Fengyu Mountain, if you don't rush back in three quarters of an hour, then the squires of the county and the people who came to congratulate you will see your joke." The official smiled secretly in his heart, but said respectfully on his face.
"Oh! Forgot about it? It's all because the official has been too busy lately, and he has forgotten such important things. Shang Yu patted his head and said suddenly.
Zhao Qing and Wei Bi, who were standing beside him, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, and those young soldiers also smiled, no wonder they wanted to laugh, how could there be an official who ran to the barracks on the day of the engagement?
