Thousands of miles away from Beijing, on the embroidery tower of a house in Suzhou, a young woman with a beautiful face but frowning was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, staring blankly at her own shadow in the mirror, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Until the door rang and the maid came in with food, she still didn't react. When the maid saw it, she sighed unconsciously: "Miss, the lord and the lady are also thinking about you, you haven't eaten anything for a few days, it's better to eat quickly, otherwise you will be hungry and ......"

"You tell Cui Mei to bring the food, and I'll eat it." Finally, the woman opened her mouth, but it was cold and without any emotion. The maid still needed to be persuaded again, but the pair of black eyes that the woman turned her head didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only answer and retreat.

The woman trapped in the building was Chu Yunrong, but because her mother was seriously ill, she didn't look like she was worried about her mother's body, but like she was angry.

Half an hour later, the door was pushed open again, and Cui Mei, who had a little trepidation on her face, finally walked in. When she saw her own miss, she was stunned at first, and then said: "Miss, you eat first, your body is important." ”

"Cui Mei, they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Seeing her come in, Chu Yunrong immediately stood up, hurried two steps to her, and looked up and down, left and right.

Cui Mei smiled reluctantly: "Miss, don't worry, the lord and the lady just want to ask me something, they have always treated me very well and will not hurt me." ”

Chu Yunrong snorted, but still didn't move his chopsticks: "What are my parents thinking, why would they use my mother's body to lie to me, and say that I should be reconciled with Lu Jin, this is really ...... It's ridiculous. ”

"Miss, I know you think it's very inappropriate to do this, but the lord and the lady also have their difficulties, if you blindly fight hard, I'm afraid it won't work, only drag it out first." Cui Mei whispered, this is the countermeasure she has thought of in the past few days.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Chu Yunrong's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Yes, it's really not good for me to fight against them, so let's drag it first." Also, I have to hurry up and tell him what happened here, and he will definitely be able to help me with so many methods. ”

"Well, so Miss, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, otherwise even if your uncle arrives, if you are sick, it will only make him worry." The little girl hurriedly persuaded her.

The effect of these words was immediate, and Chu Yunrong, who didn't even glance at the food, immediately took the dishes and chopsticks and ate them quickly.

Outside the door, a middle-aged couple looked at this scene for a moment, and then the man let out a long sigh: "How could my daughter fall in love with that unsuccessful boy so desperately." I remember that she was reluctant when she got married, but now she is ...... Ay! ”

"It's not all because of you, you had to keep some oath and marry your daughter to Lu Jin, a useless scholar. At that time, it was just enough to follow him to the border to endure hardships, and now he has offended many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, if it weren't for someone from my mother's family who brought back the news in Beijing, we are afraid that we would have to wait until something happened to them to find out. At that time, our entire Chu family will be affected by this. ”

"Hey, who would have thought that Lu Zhen would become what he is now. I heard that he seems to be quite famous in the capital recently, and if he hadn't offended that prince, I wouldn't have made such a decision. ”

This couple is Chu Yunrong's parents. It turned out that Chu's mother had never suffered from any acute illness, so they did all this in order to transfer their daughter back from Lu Jin's side, and then persuade them to reconcile, so as not to offend too many Korean and Chinese forces Lu Jin, and finally implicate his own family.

In some legends of later generations, it seems that it is only said that a woman becomes a member of her husband's family when she marries, and only someone who has been kicked out of the house with a letter of resignation, as if the social status of women is really so low. But this is not the case, at least for a family like the Chu family with some fame and power, their daughter also has a certain degree of autonomy when she marries. They can completely make Chu Yunrong and Lu Zhen reconcile through the regular procedure.

Of course, all of this is on the principle of Chu Yunrong's voluntariness, otherwise the yamen will not accept it. And what I thought would make sense in just a few words hit a wall this time, so in the end, there was friction between parents and daughters, to the point where it is now.

@@@@@

Lu Jin, who was in the capital, didn't know that Chu Yunrong would have such a thing, and after being busy with the last period of the year, he was finally empty.

Although Emperor Taizu demanded the officials below with the standard of a workaholic, so that they had to work in the Yamen even for Chinese New Year's Eve, with only three days of vacation from the first to the third day of the new year. But after he controlled Bintian, these unreasonable rules were secretly changed by his subordinates, and now in the orthodox dynasty, by the time of the 2829th month of the lunar month, many yamen have no one to pass, and only a few chief officials still symbolically appear.

The situation in Daxing County, where Lu Zhen is located, is also average, Lu Zhen let everyone go home as early as two days ago, so by the evening of the thirtieth day, there was only one bare-pole county magistrate left in this county office, and Lin Lie and the two who had nowhere else to go.

Fortunately, after all, the capital is different from a small place like Guangling County, even on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as long as you are willing to pay, you can still buy rich food. Lu Zhen had already booked a table in the Qingfeng Building in the area of Yaqian Street, and in the afternoon, they were sent to the county government.

Lu Zhen and Lin Lie were eating and drinking in a certain signing room in the second hall, waiting for the arrival of the new year.

After a few glasses of wine, Lu Jin's eyes were a little confused: "The taste of the world is as thin as a veil, who made the horseback rider Jinghua." Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alleys. In the past, when I read this poem, I only paid attention to the artistic conception of the last two sentences, but now that I am alone in the city of Beijing, I have some deep understanding of the first two sentences. ”

Lin Lie is just a martial artist, he doesn't know anything about poetry or anything, and after listening to Lu Jin's words, he can only smile, and then take a big sip of wine.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen also laughed unconsciously: "What do I do with you, today is the New Year, I should say something happy." By the way, Brother Lin, you look like you're in your thirties, right? ”

Lin Lie was gnawing on this chicken claw, and when he heard this, he spit out the fine bones and said, "My lord, I am just twenty-seven years old this year. ”

"Well, then you are really a teenager and an old man, no matter how you look at it, you look like a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face full of vicissitudes." Lu Zhen shook his head with a smile: "But twenty-seven is also not a small boss......"

"Aren't you the same, my lord? You are in your twenties, but others see you as old as a thirty-year-old. Lin Lie muttered quietly.

Lu Zhen didn't care about the other party's complaints, and continued his topic: "Have you ever thought about starting a family?" A man always has to find a mother-in-law and set up a family business. ”

Lin Lie shook his head with some hesitation: "I used to be in the army, so I didn't have the heart to think about these things at all. Then my leg was lame again, so I ......"

"There is an injury on the leg, and it is not injured elsewhere, why don't you even know how to find your mother-in-law?" Lu Zhen said and put his chopsticks aside: "Speaking of which, I don't care enough about you on weekdays, and I haven't been able to fight for a better background for you, otherwise with Brother Lin's talent, it would be easy to find a woman to be your wife." ”

Lin Lie was about to refuse, but Lu Zhen waved his hand again and said: "Don't worry, I may not be able to protect your future now, but as long as I give me some time, when I break through in the officialdom, I will definitely let you also fight for the fame of being a wife and a son!" ”

He said this so categorically that Lin Lie didn't know how to speak if he wanted to make a decision, so he could only nod his head gratefully. It's just his own heart, but now is not the time to talk to Lu Jin.

In fact, he had a strange thing in his heart, and Lu Zhen had already seen it in his eyes, but the other party refused to say it, and he couldn't ask it, so he could only use some euphemisms to test it. As a result, Lin Lie still couldn't tell his heart, so he could only give up. After all, everyone has their own pain that they don't want to be mentioned, even if they have a close relationship with Lin Lie, there are still some things that can't be said.

The two of them chatted while eating again, and time passed little by little, and finally came to midnight.

At this time, a crackling sound of firecrackers came from a distance, which suddenly lifted Lu Jin's spirit: "Another year has passed." ”

"yes, another year has passed." Lin Lie drank all the wine in the cup, filled it with another glass, and said to Lu Jin: "My lord, then I will use this glass of wine to wish you a prosperous new year, and then go to the next level." ”

Lu Zhen smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it: "Thank you for your good words." But I don't attach much importance to official luck or anything, I just hope that you and I can work together to do more things for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court, so as to be worthy of this dress on our bodies. ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Lie's expression also became serious, and he nodded solemnly: "My subordinates will do everything they can to help you achieve your wishes, and you won't dare to say anything about it!" ”

"Good!" Lu Zhen stood up and smiled, looking much more relaxed than just now.

It's just that when the two of them finished eating and drinking, and each went back to rest with a little drunkenness, Lu Zhen stayed outside Chu Yunrong's previous bedroom, and said to the empty room with some nostalgia: "Yunrong, Happy New Year!" Although the words are light and the sentences are short, the affection in them is so thick that even the howling north wind will not disperse.

At the same time, in Suzhou City, thousands of miles away, standing at the window of the embroidery building, Chu Yunrong, who was looking at the sky in the north stupidly, seemed to have some senses, and showed a charming and distressing smile on his face, and softly, only in a voice that he could hear: "Happy New Year, Lu Jin, my ...... Husband......"
