"No, mother, do you really want me to marry a foreign woman?" Lu Chu's eyes widened after listening to his mother's words.

"What foreign race is not foreign, the royal family is different, and there are people who marry foreign women? Can our family's bloodline be more noble than royal? Yan Yan didn't expect her son to be so old-fashioned, and he actually refuted her on this ground.

"In this case, why didn't she marry the royal family, and didn't she choose the royal family for all marriages? I'm just a prince with a foreign surname, and she married me as a princess, and I'm afraid I'll wronged her. Lu Chu was still a little reluctant.

He is afraid that the other party will be arrogant, he has no patience to coax people, and he is even more reluctant to look at other people's faces to live.

"What grievances are not wronged, you didn't think so before, I remember five years ago, you laughed at other people's non-standard official words, and you didn't join forces with your sister and brother to play tricks on others." Yan Yan helped his forehead with a headache.

If she could, she didn't want to interfere with her children's family affairs, but the problem was that this time and space believed in the words of the parents' order matchmaker, where can the children fall in love freely?

Lu Jin and Li Xi are exceptions, but Lu Jin was also set by the royal family first, and Yan Yan had no choice but to let Li Xi enter the door, and let them get along for a few years in the name of studying, cultivating a childhood sweetheart-like relationship.

But Yelugan's family is in Shangjing in Liaoguo, and there is no such congenital condition, but fortunately, Xiao Yu and his two children also lived in Pingyan Wangfu for half a year that year, and Lu Chu and Yelugan also had no less contact, which is not considered a blind marriage and dumb marriage.

Actually, Yan Yan doesn't have to be Yelugan, after all, the two countries are so far apart, and the transportation is not convenient, it is not easy for the child to go back if he is homesick. But Yelu Honglu was more concerned about this matter, he not only took a fancy to Yan Yan's identity as a traverser, but also took a fancy to Lu Chu's condition that he would not marry Xiao, so he couldn't bear to let his daughter marry far away.

Moreover, Yelu Honglu still has a little selfishness, hoping that in the future, a hundred years later, Lu Jin and Lu Chu will be able to help the Liao State for the sake of Yelu Ganyuan's marriage.

And Yan Yan also knew that he was a person in the Republic of China in his last life after meeting Yelu Honglu in Liao State two years ago, because he experienced those years of war and killing, so he didn't want to see these in this life, which is also the main reason why he took the initiative to return Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures after he ascended the throne.

Of course, he also knew that with the power of artillery, sooner or later the sixteen states of Yanyun would be recovered by the Great Zhou, and if it continued to fight, it would be just that the Liao State would last two more years, but the price that the Liao State would pay in the past two years was immeasurable, and he couldn't bear to let more innocent lives be lost, and he couldn't bear to drag the Liao State to the brink of extinction, so he took the initiative to return this land, in order to buy a goodwill of the Great Zhou.

Thankfully, he was right.

Therefore, he also wanted to gamble again.

Yan Yan didn't care who Lu Chu married, as long as the child liked it, so she didn't say death to Yelu Honglu, she only said that she came back and asked the child what she meant, but two years ago, because the child was still young and had not reached the age to talk about marriage, Yan Yan didn't open this mouth, this time she also received a letter from Yelu Honglu, saying that Yelu Gan was going to die, and this family matter should be put on the agenda, Yan Yan and his son officially talked about it.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that her son would be a little resistant, in her impression, she vaguely remembered that Yelugan got along well with Lu Chu when he was in the palace that year, Lu Jin and Lu Chu took the little girl and her brother to do experiments together, and also went to ride and shoot together to participate in the assembly or something.

"Son, do you have a favorite girl?" Yan Yan thought about it, and only this reason would make his son not interested in other girls.

"Mother, in the past few years, in addition to Taixue and Chaohui, I have been at home, and I have a bunch of government affairs and housework to deal with every day in addition to homework, and I don't even have time to go to the assembly, where do I know girls?" Lu Chu gave his mother a dissatisfied look.

He felt that his mother and father were too carefree, and that he had to take care of the family before he was fourteen years old.

"Stinky boy, what are you complaining about, don't know what to do, if I hadn't deliberately trained you, would you have been able to stand out at a young age? can be photographed by the princess, can become the first son of the capital, can... Speaking of this, Yan Yan suddenly remembered that this title used to belong to Lu Ming, which made her a little depressed and a little taboo.

Lu Chu saw that his mother was suddenly silent, and guessed that his mother must have remembered the second uncle, and he had long been aware of the grievances between his mother and the second uncle, so seeing that his mother was silent, he smiled, took his mother's hand and asked: "Mother, you tell me the truth, what is the relationship between you and Emperor Yelu, why are you so concerned about his affairs, and he has always been obsessed with you?" ”

"Say what? I had your sister when I met him. Yan Yan knocked his son's head.

"Mother, this is exactly what I can't figure out." Lu Chu knew that he couldn't ask for a result today, and he didn't want to ask in the future.

He didn't doubt that his mother could still attract Yelu Honglu when she was pregnant with Liujia, in Yelu Honglu's position, what kind of woman he hadn't seen, but a smart and capable woman like his mother was rare in a hundred years, how many men were not tempted?

Otherwise, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom would not have sent people again and again to try to kidnap his mother, not because of his mother's talent.

But what Lu Chu couldn't figure out was his mother's attitude towards Yelu Honglu, of course he knew the relationship between his mother and father, and he understood that his mother had no love for Yelu Honglu, not between men and women, nor family, so what could it be?

Lu Chu really couldn't figure it out.

"What's so incomprehensible about this, I can't have one or two friends I can talk to?" Yan Yan naturally couldn't tell the truth to his son.

"Mother, he's a man." Lu Chu reminded.

How can a man be friends with a woman, and a man and a woman are not close to each other, so he didn't believe his mother's words, let alone accept them.

"Okay, what are you doing with all this, what did your mother just tell you, what do you think, are you willing to marry Forrest Gump? You can think about this matter yourself, and my mother won't force you. Yan Yan got up and was about to leave after speaking, she was afraid that if her son continued to ask again, she would run away.

How do you know that Lu Chu still didn't let her go, "Mother, did you still miss a little, you have to report this matter to the emperor, right?" Aren't you afraid of the emperor's jealousy? ”

"Don't worry, I have already discussed it with your emperor's uncle, he said that as long as you like it, he will not object to marrying anyone, there is no princess of Liao, and the princess of Da Zhou is waiting, your kid is a life to marry a princess." Yan Yan smiled and poked his son's head.

"No, my eldest sister marries the prince, and I will marry another princess back?" Lu Chu shook his head busily, and suddenly, he looked at his mother, but when he was about to open his mouth, his mother shook him off and said, "Your father is still waiting for me to serve him to bathe, you can make up your own mind about this matter." ”

Lu Chu looked at the back of his mother leaving and smiled, he seemed to have found the answer.

He understood from a very young age that his own mother was different from other people's mothers, his mother would not only hug them but also caress them, and would personally take them to play with them, and would make them novel toys, and when they were older, their mother would personally teach them knowledge, and the things they taught were very different from those of gentlemen, so even the emperor's grandson Li Xi came to Mingyuan to follow them to classes for several years.

What is even more strange is that the mother seldom constrained them with those worldly rules, saying that it was developed by their own nature, but did not tell them to show off what they learned at home.

When they were older, they knew that the artillery and muskets that terrified the enemy country were the brains of their mothers, who knew a lot more than their fathers, and who were much better than the gentlemen outside, and that their mothers taught them a lot of knowledge that could not be verified in the classics and were unheard of by outsiders.

Later, Lu Chu knew about the grievances between his mother and his second uncle, and knew that his mother had come back from the dead, so he also suspected that his mother must have had some adventures on Huangquan Road.

Coincidentally, Lu Chu also knew that the reason why his mother and Yelu Honglu became attached was because of the lyrics and songs of "A Laugh in the Sea", and this lyrics and songs are very different from the lyrics and songs they sing on weekdays, and obviously do not belong to this dynasty.

What's even more surprising is still to come, because of this song, Yelu Honglu found his mother, and his mother unreservedly chose to cooperate with Yelu Honglu who met for the first time to do business, and later did not hesitate to risk being questioned by the Great Zhou Emperor to fund the other party's anti-Jin, and even traveled thousands of miles to Liao to visit him.

And that Queen Xiao also kept the post house when her eldest sister got married, but she lived at home with a pair of children for half a year, can this be an ordinary friend relationship?

By the way, it is said that the Liao State originally did not have gunpowder technology, it was Yelu Honglu who invented it himself, and he also invented cowpox for the first time to prevent smallpox, which is also unheard of.

Therefore, Lu Chu guessed that this Yelu Honglu must have had the same adventure as his mother, and he must have had some intersection in that adventure.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that he has grown up, why is his mother still reluctant to tell him this secret?

Could it be, this is the reason why his mother asked him to marry Forrest Gump.

Thinking of Forrest Gump, Lu Chu's mind came to mind with the face of a teenage girl, the little girl is not bad, her lips are red and her teeth are white, but unfortunately her eyes are a little small, not the almond eyes he likes, but a pair of red phoenix eyes, every time she makes a joke and is ridiculed by them, she will widen her eyes, but no matter how staring at those eyes, they can't play a deterrent role, but they add a lot of jokes to them.

In my memory, the braids at that end are more interesting, and when I run and shake them, it seems that the whole person is flying up, and there are stars twinkling in my eyes.

Oh, by the way, that girl can ride a horse, and the two sweaty horses in the family are said to have been sent by her family, and he is three years older than her, but his equestrian skills are not as good as hers, and it is the other party's turn to laugh at him every time he rides and shoots.

Also, the little girl seemed to know a little bit of medicine, knew a lot of herbs, once a few of them accidentally cut their hands while doing carpentry, it was the little girl who used herbs to help them stop the bleeding, and she also helped them to apply medicine and bandage.

Another time, he had a stomach trouble because he had eaten the wrong thing, and when his mother was about to ask for a royal doctor, it was the little girl who stood up and said that she had eaten Xiangke's food, and asked him to boil some green onion and white water to drink.

"Big brother, what are you doing? So engrossed that you don't even light a lamp when it's dark? Lu Yuan came in and interrupted Lu Chu's memories.

"Ah, oh, nothing." After Lu Chu finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Yuan over, "Second brother, come, let me ask you something, do you remember that Forrest Gump who came to our house five years ago?" ”

"Forrest Gump? Remember, she's almost a year old now, right? By the way, big brother, I seem to remember that she said that she wanted to marry you, did my mother tell you about this just now? Lu Yuan's head poked over, obviously very interested in this topic.

"No, my mother is asking her if it's okay to match you with a pair?" Lu Chu didn't look over his head and lied.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, and then laughed, "Big brother, don't pretend, I'll tell you the truth, it was my mother who asked me to ask you, my mother said, if you don't agree, she will refuse people as soon as possible, don't delay the youth of other girls." Also, my mother also said that a man must have a sense of responsibility, and if he agrees to marry, he must treat others well and not accept concubines. ”

"Our mother is really domineering, she doesn't allow her father to take a concubine, why don't you allow us to take a concubine?" Lu Chu muttered.

He didn't mean to take a concubine, but he didn't want to be forced by others to be in two different moods.

Besides, none of his classmates of his age have a few bed-warmers, but he is still a child, and at his age, it is impossible not to be curious and unmoved.

"If you have an opinion, tell your mother to go, sample, dare to say that your mother is domineering, be careful of your father beating you. Besides, I think it's better not to marry a young person than to marry a young one, how good it is to be like my father and mother, who doesn't envy it outside? Who doesn't boast that they are a fairy couple? Lu Yuan glanced at the eldest brother.

"That's true, but you have to be able to meet someone you like." After Lu Chu finished speaking, the appearance of Yelugan flashed in his mind, and he was running towards him with his pigtails all over his head.

Lu Chu shook off and threw Yelugan out, but as soon as he threw the person out, a childish voice sounded again, "Brother Lu Chu, Brother Lu Chu, you go to the grassland with me to play, let me tell you, the grassland is beautiful, there are a lot of beautiful wildflowers, and your favorite roast mutton... ”

Lu Chu couldn't help but shudder, what's going on? Why can't this girl get rid of it.

"Big brother, let's do it, why don't I accompany you to Liaoguo to see what Sister Forrest Gump looks like now, just right, I'll also go over and see if I can open a wet copper smelter over there." Lu Yuan leaned over again and came up with an idea.

Lu Chu also glanced at him when he heard this, "Didn't you say that you want to go to Yangzhou, Gusu and other places to open glass factories, why do you want to go to Beidi to open a copper smelter, how old are you, how can you think about these things to make money all day long, our family's money is not enough for you?" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll get off the field next spring, and I promise to come back after taking a show, as for going there to open a factory, hehe, in fact, it's also what my mother meant, and my mother said that I want to cooperate with Liaoguo and open a copper factory in western Liaoning, saying that the minerals over there are richer."

Lu Chu was also moved when he heard that it was his mother, it is true, he has not gone far yet, he just took this opportunity to go to the grassland to have a look, and heard that his grandfather and second uncle were on the battlefield when they were his age.

"Let's go, let's find my mother." Lu Chu made up his mind.

Two months later, in the season when the grass grew and the warbler flew, several boys and girls were riding horses and running on the grassland, and under the sun, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a pigtail smiled brighter than a flower, and the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy beside her looked at her with a star in his eyes.
