In fact, Li Sui was also shocked by the news of Lu Duan's continued marriage, but they were even more surprised that the bride was actually from the Fuguo Prince's family.

Yan Yan didn't know, but they knew that the Wang family and the Lu family used to have a feud, Wang Shuo's sister Wang Ji fell in love with Lu Duan's father Lu Jin, and the two families originally discussed the time to see each other, but Wang Ji didn't know what he had eaten two days before he saw each other, and he had a bunch of pimples on his face, although the Wang family explained to Lu Jin that the pimple was only temporary and was caused by eating hair, but Lu Duan didn't believe it, and refused to do it, and within a few days, he saw the current Mrs. Lu.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Wang Ji's face to regain its brilliance, but she missed the opportunity to marry Lu Jin, and there was no suitable marriage partner in the remaining few families of the princes, and finally Wang Ji had to marry a poor scholar back then.

This account was calculated by the Wang family to the Lu family.

For this reason, in the past 50 years, the Lu family and the Wang family have not discussed marriage again.

Therefore, when he heard that Lu Duan was going to marry the daughter of the Wang family, Li Sui asked directly, "Father, why did Duke Lu agree to marry the daughter of the Wang family this time?" ”

Everyone understands the actions of the Wang family, Zuo is just a concubine, and being able to marry Lu Duan as the duchess of the country is already a blessing against the sky, what does it matter if the man is older, and what does it matter if he continues to live in the room? The most important thing is to bring benefits to the Wang family.

Therefore, it is Lu Duan who is not understood, with Lu Duan's identity, he can marry the daughter of a second- or third-grade family, and his upbringing, bearing, and cultivation are definitely much stronger than a concubine.

"Why, more than 40 years have passed, who can still remember that little bit of hatred back then?" Li Cong said quietly.

He naturally knew the respective plans of the two families, but fortunately, Lu Duan had specially talked to him about this matter, presumably to dispel his doubts.

"What hatred?" Yan Yan and Lu You asked at the same time.

Li Cong naturally did not explain this past to Yan Yan in person, but glanced at Li Ji, and Li Ji briefly explained the matter.

"Uncle Emperor, I want to know when the family came to you to talk about this?" Yan Yan asked.

"The first day of the Lunar New Year." Li Cong didn't hide it from her, "Speaking of which, what is Old Madam Lu's illness?" ”

"The spirit is indeed much worse, and after talking about it, the breath is uneven, and the person is also a little out of phase." Yan Yan said thoughtfully.

"It turned out to be for Chongxi." Li Zhen understood.

"Since it's Chongxi, why don't you choose Lu Ming?" Lu You asked.

He still can't accept his father's marriage, mainly because he can't accept that he will call a woman who is more than ten years younger than himself "mother" in the future, how awkward he thinks.

"Yes, what about Lu Ming? Has he decided on anyone's house? Li Sui asked.

"Not for the time being, he said that if Yan Yu is like this, if he gets married, it will be tantamount to making matters worse, and Yan Yu's illness will not be cured."

"Even if this kid is still interesting, I don't know if he has achieved anything in the Northland in the past few months?" Li Sui replied to Yan Yan, but looked at Lu You, because Lu You had just come back from there.

"What's wrong with Grandmother and Yan Yu?" Lu You just came back, and it is not clear what happened at home during this time.

Yan Yan briefly explained, Lu You was a little surprised that Mrs. Lu fell ill from time to time, and besides, the old man was over the age of sixteen after all, even if there was really anything, it was a natural law, after all, there were not many old people who could live to this age.

But Yan Yu is different, Yan Yu is still so young, and other Lu You doesn't know, but he knows that Yan Yan is determined not to want Yan Yu to die so early, on the one hand, he is in awe of life, and on the other hand, he wants Yan Yu to watch the Lu family fall apart, watch Lu Ming marry someone else, watch her son become a waste, and watch everything she cares about pursuing and calculating come to naught.

At the same time, Yan Yan, who was once calculated by her, has a harmonious husband and wife, well-behaved children, and a prosperous family business.

This is the best revenge for a person.

"I heard that Yan Yu wants to see you, don't you want to see her?" Li Cong asked.

"No, I said back then, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, she wants to see me just to make her feel better, but I don't want to make myself sad, why should she rob if she wants, forgive if she wants to forgive, and she will be free if she wants to be free? Haven't I been wronged enough all these years? Yan Yan shook his head.

"In this case, why did you suggest to the imperial doctor that Lu Ming ask a doctor to be by his side to give Lu Yuan acupuncture, and you also proposed to find two playmates for the child or something, by the way, did you see the child, has it improved a little?" Li Cong asked.

"Back to the emperor, these are two different things, the child is innocent." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he learned what happened to Lu Yuan just now.

"Ah, will Yan Yu aggravate her condition when she sees this child?" Li Ji asked.

He didn't worry about anything else, he was afraid that the Queen Mother wouldn't be able to accept this, after all, Yan Yu also grew up watching the Queen Mother.

"That's it, change the subject." During the Chinese New Year, Li Cong thought that this topic was unlucky.

"By the way, did your husband go well this trip?" Yan Yan asked.

According to Lu You, the Jurchens seem to have formed an alliance with the Mongols, because as soon as the Jurchens and the Liao State fought, the Mongols over there also attacked the Western Xia, which also caught the Western Xia by surprise, and also seized a large area of pasture in the Western Xia at the fastest speed.

In other words, both the Jurchens and the Mongols avoided the advantage of artillery, and instead of attacking each other's cities, they went to each other's pastures first.

In this way, the number of horses, cattle and sheep in Western Xia and Liao will definitely drop sharply, and there are not enough war horses and grain and grass, what will be used to support this war?

For this reason, Lu You suggested that they use gunpowder, although the Liao State can make gunpowder by itself, but the skills are not familiar, and the raw materials cannot be found so much for a while, and the Western Xia will not be able to do it at all, so they intend to buy a certain amount of gunpowder from Da Zhou, preferably gunpowder that can be buried in the ground.

Because Zhou Lu also understood that the grenade was useless, he didn't wait for their men and horses to come forward, but he was afraid that the opponent's stray arrows would come over, after all, the distance that the grenade could reach was far worse than that of the arrow.

Since this topic was mentioned, Li Cong asked Yan Yan's opinion on this matter by the way, he had already met Lu You and his party before, and he also discussed it with Li Ji, most people suggested that they should not sell it at all, because looking at the momentum, Western Xia and Liao could not stop the Mongol and Jurchen iron horses, therefore, instead of pinning their hopes on Western Xia and Liao, it is better for Da Zhou to work hard to improve his strength, if there is really a Jurchen Mongol invasion on this day, Da Zhou has enough artillery and gunpowder to beat them out.
