Seeing that Chu Hua's face was as usual and very calm, Xu sighed softly: "The affairs above the court, the concubine doesn't understand. It's just that this time, Sister Lan inadvertently let you stand in line in the court, I don't know if it will have any impact. ”

Chu Hua chuckled lightly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You, it seems that you really don't understand the affairs of the DPRK and China." ”

Xu looked at Chu Hua strangely and said suspiciously, "Could it be that you have any ideas?" ”

"In today's prosperous era, although there is a threat from the Northern Yuan, Dayong is becoming stronger and stronger, developing the economy to govern the country, the status of the literati is gradually improving, the status of the military attache is decreasing, and it is also an inevitable trend to weaken the power of the military generals."

"Yes, but you're not paying attention to the generals' side now......"

Chu Hua looked at it with a look of contempt, and said softly: "How can military power be in the hands of a reckless man?" ”

Xu Shi's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard this: "Shizi, what do you mean?" ”

Chu Hua smiled and said no more.

Chu Junlan stood in front of the door, and when he heard Chu Hua's last sentence, his heart jumped.

It turns out that Chu Hua has such ambitions?

Does he want to be the first civil official to lead a military general in the Dayong Dynasty?

As Chu Hua said, weakening the power of the generals is the trend of the times, which will inevitably cause resentment among the generals, and if the emperor really wants to arrange a civilian official to lead the generals in the future, he will definitely choose one that is closer to the generals, at least it will not cause a particularly big backlash.

No wonder, Chu Hua didn't blame her for her actions.

Because she was doing something, she inadvertently coincided with Chu Hua's thoughts.

Chu Junlan pursed his red lips, and a playful smile immediately appeared on his lips, and he coughed lightly and said, "Father, mother." ”

When Chu Hua and Xu heard this, they looked back at the door, and saw Chu Junlan carrying a delicate black lacquer luodian food box and lifting the curtain into the door.

"Sister Lan," Xu smiled, "What good things have you made again?" ”

Chu Junlan put down the food box and carefully served the two bowls of chicken soup to the two: "I simmered the prepared chicken soup slowly in the morning, and added some medicinal herbs, which is beneficial to the body." ”

Chu Junlan likes to study medicinal diets, and when he has nothing to do, he will also make some soups and water for self-nourishment, and Chu Hua and Xu enjoy it on weekdays.

The two of them picked up the bowl with a smile, and Xu asked, "Where is your grandmother?" ”

"I've asked someone to send one to my grandfather and grandmother, my uncle's family and my third uncle's family, and I directly asked someone to bring the casserole to my brother and sister-in-law."

"You kid."

Chu Junlan has always been thoughtful, Xu likes it very much, and after taking a bite of chicken soup, there is a faint taste of medicinal herbs in it, but it just happens to neutralize a sweet and refreshing feeling, not to mention delicious.

Chu Junlan sat for a while and then went back to the room, and handed another food box to Zi Yan: "You personally send it to my eldest brother, be careful not to ask people to touch this soup on the way." ”

Sending food to Chu Huating, Chu Junlan has always been very careful.

"Hey, don't worry, girl."

Zi Yan carried the food box and walked out quickly.

Looking at Zi Yan's back, Chu Junlan sighed a little helplessly.

The Maoguo Mansion is good at everything, but it is not free to move, if it was in the past, she would have sent it directly by herself, even if she wanted to go shopping, it was as she pleased, not to mention that if she was like now, she had to report carefully to the Xu family when she went out, and she had permission to do it.

※

Just after the first month, all the yamen opened their seals, Chu Hua was busy with business as usual, and there was rarely time to be at home, and Mao Guogong also returned to Zhuangzi, and the house seemed to be deserted all of a sudden.

Xu began to get busy.

"Although I haven't heard of the news from the palace, the family affairs of King Gongding have been completed, and it will be delayed until this year, and your marriage with the prince should be done soon."

Xu sketched the dowry book in his hand, and said with a smile: "The ones my mother chose for you are all some good fields, not to mention the good harvest, and the heads of the Zhuangzi are also old people who followed me in the past, and they are doing things safely, and they will listen to you when the time comes." There are also shops, I chose the whole street in the market, you can collect rent if you want to collect rent in the future, if you want to do a small business yourself, choose a favorite shop is also cheaper......"

The Xu family nagged, as if what she was given was only three melons and two dates, but Chu Junlan knew that part of the dowry that the Xu family gave her was the dowry of the Xu family, and part of it was from the Maoguo Mansion.

She is not Chu Hua's biological daughter, but the Xu family prepares a dowry for her as her biological daughter.

"Mother, I don't want so much, the palace has everything, what do I want so much dowry?"

Chu Junlan sat down next to Xu.

Xu Shi nodded her forehead: "Silly girl, the dowry is richer, you will have a backhand in the future, and if you have a child in the future, you can also leave it to your child." ”

Speaking of these, Xu remembered that Chu Junlan had lost his mother since he was a child, and Chu Junlan's biological mother's original dowry still didn't know what had become of the Chu family, so she stopped the topic and said: "You, you have to pay more attention to yourself, I think the environment of the Gongding Wang family is also very complicated, not to mention those concubines, now you have two mothers-in-law, and Princess Cai's family has such a tough background, and there have been unpleasant ...... between you and Concubine Shu and the six princes."

The more Xu Shi spoke, the more worried he felt: "I'm just afraid that if you go to their house, you will be embarrassed by your mother-in-law." ”

Xu's uneasy appearance when he considered her made Chu Junlan quite moved.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't be bullied, and I'm not a person who lets people bully at will."

Xu Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, but with more dowry, your waist can be harder in the future." ”

With a stroke of the pen, he added the business of the firm to the dowry list, and said without raising his head: "This is all the dowry that your grandmother gave me at the beginning, and now it is given to you, if you are unhappy in the future, you have a lot of silver in your hand, you can do whatever you want, and we don't look at anyone's face." ”

Chu Junlan's eyes were a little hot, and he rubbed Xu's shoulder coquettishly: "I have my father and mother here, I'll go home if I'm not happy." ”

Xu smiled and touched her head, but did not answer.

Marrying the royal family, where can you say that you can return like an ordinary woman?

Once you enter the jade of the royal family, if you want to come out, you can only carry it out horizontally...... Even if it is carried out, it must be carried into the tomb of the clan again.

The Xu family was excited, and secretly thought that he was really unlucky, so he secretly snorted.

At this moment, Mama Guo replied: "Madam, the people around Mrs. Gege are here to deliver the post." I invite you and Miss Three to the banquet tomorrow. ”

When Chu Junlan heard this, he sat up straight lazily.

Xu's face was solemn, he put down the brush, took the handkerchief handed by Chu Junlan and wiped his hands, took the post handed by Mama Guo and looked through it, and then sneered: "It's really strange, people who are civil officials look down on our family, but this son took the initiative to invite." ”

"Madame, are you going to go?"

"Of course, I want to see what their family has done so many dirty things, and invite me to do what they want to do!"
