Chapter 578: Presiding
"The princess is overrated." Lu Yanyi said: "But we see, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed." The only disagreement between you is that Brother Guan doesn't want to go to the Turks with you, right? ”
"Yes," Qinglu nodded, "But other things can be discussed, but this matter, there is no room for maneuver." Lu Shangshu, Mrs. Lu, I hope you can help me persuade Hanguan. ”
"Princess, I have an idea, I don't know if you will listen to it. I have a lot of resources in the Central Plains, if the princess can marry and live in the Central Plains, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
"I'm marrying here?" Obviously, Qinglu didn't expect this, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and didn't know how to answer for a while: "This"
"The princess has always been a cheerful person, why did she hesitate?" Lu Yanyi said: "You two live in the capital, and you can often go back to the Turks to see, such frequent exchanges, you can pass on the skills of the Central Plains to the Turks, and you can also bring Turkic items to the Central Plains." If the princess had done these things, I believe that for the peace between the two places, it would have done a lot of work with half the effort, and it would be very different from before. ”
Qinglu was moved by these words, and thought seriously for a while: "But my father will not agree. ”
"It depends on the power of the princess," Lu Yanyi said: "Your marriage with Hanguan is not only a private matter between the two of you, but also related to the peace of the two places. And I believe that the Turkic king is also a righteous person, as long as the princess makes it clear, she will definitely agree. ”
"I can try," said the heron, "but I can't guarantee that I can do it." ”
Qingwan smiled: "With the princess's words, we are relieved." ”
"However, I still think it's good for Hanguan to go to the Turks with me?"
"Brother Guan is now appointed by the imperial court as the Shangshu of the Southern Pharmacy," Qingwan said: "After returning to Beijing, he will take office." The princess is proficient in medicine, and also knows that this medicine is a major matter related to the lives of the people, and the crown brother has always wished to be able to do something for the country and the people, and if he is allowed to give up this position, it will be against his ambition. I think the princess doesn't want to look at her husband and be depressed all day long, right? ”
"Of course!" Qinglu said without hesitation: "In our Turks, there is a saying that if you really like someone, you must do what makes him happy. Unlike the Central Plains, marriage events are all controlled by their parents, even if they don't want to, they have to reluctantly marry it, and as a result, they are unhappy all their lives. The Turks will not be like this, no matter the son or daughter, as long as the person is reluctant, the parents will not be reluctant, and will agree with the husband that the daughter finds herself. The customs of the Central Plains are too tough! ”
Qingwan smiled: "What the princess said is not it?" But this is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is difficult to change it for a while. Since the Turks are such a custom, then the princess can make her own decisions about marriage? ”
"Although this is the case, my father is reluctant to marry me too far. The queen mother went early, and my father has always regarded me as a pearl in the palm of his hand, and my father will definitely be sad if he leaves his old man's knees. ”
"The princess is a filial daughter, so she naturally thinks so," Lu Yanyi said: "However, marrying in the Central Plains doesn't mean that you will never be able to return to your parents' home?" You two are responsible for peace, and you have to go back and forth several times a year to do a lot of things. Then your father can rest assured, right? ”
"Really?" Qinglu was suspicious: "Lu Shangshu, aren't you coaxing me?" ”
Lu Yanyi smiled: "It's true, do you think I look like a liar?" ”
"No, no, I didn't mean that," Qinglu regretted her words and hurriedly explained, "Of course, I can absolutely trust you and Madame Lu. However, you Central Plains people have always been cunning and always untrustworthy, so we can't believe it. ”
"I can assure you of this," Lu Yanyi said, "and the princess is proficient in medical science, I know very well that there are many secret recipes in the Turks, but no one has passed them on, and you can sort out these medical theories in the future, and it will be more convenient to bring the medical principles of the Central Plains into the Turks, so that no matter which side of the people, they will benefit greatly." ”
Qinglu pondered for a long time and raised his head: "Lu Shangshu, Mrs. Lu, I agreed to this matter!" ”
"Great!" Qingwan was very surprised: "Our husband and wife are born on behalf of the world, so we can give birth to a cup of princess!" ”
Qinglu did not shirk, took the wine heartily, and drank it all: "This is also my responsibility, Shangshu and Mrs. don't have to be polite." ”
The happiest, since the number of crowns, with a relieved smile on his face, the heron also cast affectionate eyes from time to time, and the eyes are infinitely tender.
The feast was over. Qingwan personally sent the heron to the guest room, and carefully instructed the subordinates, it was late at night, and then went back to rest.
Lu Yanyi was waiting for her to read a book, and Qingwan asked while removing her makeup: "What year did you first go to Turkic?" Recognize their national teacher? ”
"That was still many years ago," Lu Yanyi threw down the book and recalled: "I was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and I had just come out to explore the world, and when I arrived in Turkic, Princess Qinglu's father had just ascended the throne, and I relied on the national teacher Ashinaro porcelain to assist. This Luo Ci is also an extraordinary figure, in the Turks through three dynasties, has always been undiminished, and it is rare that he is not hostile to our dynasty, and always advocates peace. After I arrived in the Turks, just in time for the great drought of that year, the people starved to death almost seven or eight out of ten, I helped find a water source in the distance, so the national teacher was very grateful, and met him, but he did not expect that although the age difference was half a hundred, he was very close at first sight. Later, the relationship between the imperial court and the Turks was tense, and I had something else to do, so I left there, thinking that I would have the opportunity to see Luo Ci again, but I didn't expect that two years later, this national teacher passed away. ”
"It's a pity," Qingwan said: "If this national teacher is still alive, probably the relationship between the two places will not be so troublesome?" ”
"In fact, when the Turkic king first ascended the throne, he was also willing to make peace with him, and then the national teacher died, and the rest of the civil and military officials were greedy for the cattle and horses of the Central Plains, and always instigated the Turkic king to invade the border, so that he could plunder, so he caused today's situation," Lu Yanyi said: "In fact, in the final analysis, I am also to blame in the Central Plains. ”
"In the future, when Qinglu marries, you can let her help more, and the Turkic king will listen to this beloved daughter."
"I didn't expect Hanguan to make such a big contribution," Lu Yanyi smiled unconsciously: "It can be said that it is the best of both worlds for the country and for private purposes." ”
"I don't know how many more days this princess will stay," Qingwan pondered, "It's not that I don't want to keep her, but today you also heard that the people under her command don't know much about etiquette, but they are afraid of long nights and dreams." ”
"Brother Guan will have to return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, I think the princess should go back, is it possible that she can stay here alone?"
Qingwan nodded: "That's only a day or two, I'll keep some heart, so I can spend it peacefully, and it's over." ”
Before dawn the next day, Qingwan was worried about the distinguished guests at home, so she got up early, called the housekeeper and the cook first, asked how the breakfast was arranged, and went to the front yard in person.
Qinglu had also gotten up and was grooming, and when she saw Qingwan coming in, she hurriedly smiled and gave up her seat: "Mrs. Lu, the wine you drank last night is really powerful!" I'm not completely awake yet! ”
"That's a good wine hidden at home, just to entertain distinguished guests," Qingwan said with a smile: "Originally, I said to take a bottle with little power, but Han Guanfei said that the princess is good at drinking, and ordinary wine is not eye-catching, so I took this out." ”
"Mrs. Lu, do you have time today?"
"How?"
"Can you please walk around the street with me?" Qinglu said: "With you as a companion, if you can tell me about your Central Plains, I will understand a lot." ”
"Naturally, I can't ask for it." Qingwan smiled: "I originally meant this, but I was afraid that the princess would not want to be disturbed." ”
Speaking of which, the housekeeper came over to have breakfast, Qingwan then took the hand of the heron and came to the dining room, Hanguan was already waiting there, after last night's conversation, both of them had a sense that the marriage had been decided, so when they met this morning, they were more or less embarrassed.
Qingwan beckoned everyone to sit down, but fortunately, Qinglu was also a generous person, talking and laughing, and soon restored the natural atmosphere.
After the meal, Hanguan had to go to the state government to do errands, and left in a hurry. Here Qingwan was about to accompany Qinglu out of the house, when he suddenly saw the housekeeper and said, "Master Hui Shangshu, Deng Shilang from the pharmacy has come over, saying that there is something important." ”
"Call him in." Lu Yanyi's face changed slightly.
Soon, a middle-aged man hurried in: "Lord Shangshu, something happened at the pharmacy!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Early this morning, two pharmacists came to deliver the goods, and somehow, there was a quarrel outside, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but then I heard a noise in the crowd, saying that someone had been killed! Frightened, I hurriedly went out to take a look, and sure enough, one of them had already swallowed his breath, and the other was also seriously injured, and now it has been reported to the official, and I asked the adults to take a look. ”
"How do I usually tell you to come?" Lu Yanyi was furious: "You must always be careful, even if there is a small dispute, you can't take it lightly, it's all so unconcerned!" ”
Deng Shilang didn't dare to speak, but he agreed reluctantly, Lu Yanyi was about to rush over, Deng Shilang wanted to say something, looked at a few people in the room, and stopped talking.
"Lord Deng, if you have anything to say, just say it." Qingwan saw it.
"Mrs. Hui, today is the day when several truckloads of precious medicinal materials are concentrated, and there is already a shortage of manpower, but something happened again, if there is no one in charge, I am afraid"
"You didn't see any guests here?" Lu Yanyi didn't wait to finish speaking, and said, "Do you know who this is?" Yes"
"Lu Shangshu, Mrs. Lu, you just have to go and get busy, don't worry about me,"
