Chapter 193: Named Prince
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of May, Xiaoman specially changed into water-red clothes, and Lu Li also wore a bamboo-blue gown, she took out her purse and embroidered shoes that she had embroidered a long time ago and wrapped them, decorated them, and went out in a carriage.
Lao Zhou's house is in the northwest corner of Shangjing, and a small house is very festively decorated, covered with Xi characters.
The yard is not big, but the two sides are full of vegetables, green and green, and there are some pink and yellow tender flowers, which looks full of life.
was looking around, Lao Zhou came out of the house in a new dress and smiled.
"Congratulations." Xiao Man hurriedly handed over the cloth bag he was carrying, "A little caution, it's worthless, please accept it." ”
Seeing this, Lao Zhou wanted to resign again.
Xiao Man couldn't help but stuff the cloth bag into Lao Zhou's arms, pretending to be angry: "I made it myself and gave it to the bride, Lao Zhou, you have to accept it." ”
As soon as he heard that it was all made by Xiao Man himself, Lao Zhou did not refuse, and he was a little embarrassed to accept it, he hugged the cloth bag and laughed a few times, looking at Xiao Man's appearance that could not be refused, he had to tighten the cloth bag in his arms, "Okay, then I will thank Su Shopkeeper in advance for the bride!" ”
After speaking, Lao Zhou hurriedly invited the two into the house, "Come in, Qin Chun and the others have arrived." ”
There were three or four tables of people sitting in the room, with neat dishes and chopsticks on the table, as soon as Xiao Man entered the door, Qin Chun beckoned over there: "Shopkeeper Su!" We're here! ”
The two tables were filled with the guys from the shop, and the people from the three shops arrived, and everyone sat together happily, which was very lively.
The other two tables were probably relatives of the groom and the bride, all of whom were simple men and women, and the smiles on their faces were the same as Lao Zhou's.
Xiao Man pulled Lu and left the empty seat at the table, "You came so early, Lu Li and I were the last to arrive." ”
"We are very happy when Shopkeeper Su comes, why bother sooner or later." Lao Zhou's daughter-in-law stood aside a little stiffly and said, her hands were stacked together, a pair of big palms were full of calluses, and she knew that she was a diligent person at a glance.
Xiao Man smiled when he heard this, "Congratulations, Lao Zhou and you will be able to enjoy Qingfu in the future." ”
Lao Zhou's daughter-in-law waved her hand, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at all, "Actually, we are thanks to your help, otherwise where would Lao Zhou be able to make so much money, and we couldn't handle family affairs for our son so early, speaking of which, we are all thanks to you!" ”
When it came to finding one, the other guys at the table also chimed in, most of them thanking Su Xiaoman and appreciating her approach.
Listening to everyone's appreciation, Xiao Man blushed embarrassedly, she lowered her head, and secretly looked at Lu Li while everyone was not paying attention, a pair of black and white eyes kept blinking, and there was a bit of smugness and shyness hidden in them.
Also, Xiaoman has run such a big business at a young age, so that the ladies in the deep palace know Xiaoman's name, and the emperor knows everything about it, and even she knows how many branches she has opened in Shangjing, which is enough to see the influence of Manrou Embroidery Workshop.
There are so many guys under him, Xiaoman also treats people sincerely, these guys are all heartfelt, more and more diligent, so that the Manrou embroidery workshop is more and more famous.
Thinking about it, Lu Li's hand moved slowly under the table, gently holding Xiao Man's little hand, and after attracting Xiao Man's attention, he raised his lips and chuckled, and gently kneaded Xiao Man's little hand twice.
The other party's cheeks were redder, and his head was drooping lower.
Fortunately, at this time, the groom's official came out, and all the eyes in the house shifted to the groom's official.
The groom and Lao Zhou look very similar, both have a dark face with Chinese characters, big eyes with double eyelids, and are full of energy, plus the red wedding dress on the body, the whole person is more and more energetic.
Immediately afterwards, the bride also came out, dressed in a red wedding dress, with a red hippa on her head, although she couldn't see her face, but from the groom's expectant eyes, it was enough to see how loving the young couple were.
Lu Li and Xiao Man on the side were always holding hands under the table, and the two looked at the bride and groom who were worshipping together, their eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and their hands were getting tighter and tighter.
The scene in front of them couldn't help but remind the two of them of the scene when they got married, although they got married in the village, and Xiaoman's reputation in the village was also very bad at that time, even though there were many guests, but most of them came for the game and food, and how many of them could be blessed?
But now it's okay, they have a happy life now, and they have a lovely child, and those past don't matter.
Seeing the bride enter the cave room, the groom toasted at the table, and Xiaoman and Lu Li sent their most sincere blessings.
After a lively day, near evening, Xiao Man and Lu Licai dispersed with everyone and went home separately.
The word Xi at the door shone golden in the light of the setting sun, adding a bit of beauty to the original ordinary small courtyard, Xiao Man walked to the carriage with Lu Li's hand, and sighed: "It's good to see them so happy." ”
"yes, just like we were back then." Lu Li smiled sideways, "But we haven't been able to grow up together, otherwise we would definitely be happier than them, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Man breathed a long sigh of relief and chuckled: "Yes, it would be nice if we could meet earlier." ”
The two walked side by side towards the carriage, and the sunset stretched the shadows of the two to each other, gradually merging together, and they were very intimate.
It was already late when they returned to Lu Mansion, Xiao Man and Lu Li washed up separately, and then looked at Shu again, and then went back to sleep with confidence.
Early the next morning, Lu Li was called up by his subordinates.
In order not to wake up Xiao Man, Lu Li specially put on a dress and took his subordinates to the outer room, "What's wrong?" ”
"The father-in-law in the palace just came with news that the emperor wants to summon you." The little guy hunched over and whispered.
Lu Li frowned, and casually tied the strap of his robe, "Now? Is my father-in-law still outside, but there is a specific message? ”
The emperor avoided him for several months, wishing that Lu Li would not go to him, but now why did he take the initiative to summon himself?
"The father-in-law came in a hurry, and left in a hurry after leaving this sentence, saying that the emperor was in a hurry, and asked the grandfather to go to the palace quickly."
Lu Li nodded, "Got it, go prepare the horse first, I'll go now." ”
After speaking, Lu Li quickly washed, put on his clothes again, and went out non-stop to get on the horse and rushed to the palace.
Could it be that the emperor agreed to resign himself?
When he arrived at the palace gate, he dismounted and followed his father-in-law into the emperor's imperial study, Lu Li was dusty all the way, hurriedly sorted out his clothes and went into the house to bow, "Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”
The emperor, who was reviewing the folds on the soft collapse, stopped his pen, raised his lips and smiled, "I heard that I summoned you, Lu Qing came very quickly." ”
Lu Li arched his hand and lowered his eyes, "The emperor summoned him, and Weichen didn't dare to slack off." ”
"A few months ago, you told me that you were going to resign, and I said I would give you an answer after a while, do you remember?" As he spoke, the emperor put the brush on the pen rest, turned around, and said to Lu Li: "Now that I have figured it out, I will give you an answer today." ”
After hearing this, Lu Li's heart beat faster, and he knelt on the ground with bated breath, quietly waiting for the emperor's next words.
The room was very quiet, white smoke rose above the incense burner, Lu Li hung his head, stared at the patterns on the carpet, and a heart in his chest was pounding.
"I have thought about it carefully, you are a military general, and you have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time before, and this Shangjing is indeed restrictive for you." Speaking of this, the emperor took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, moistened his throat, and continued: "So I can understand your plea. ”
Lu Li secretly sighed, it seems that the emperor is going to allow his resignation.
Just when Lu Li was at ease, the emperor's words suddenly changed: "However, you led the troops to drive back the barbarians before, ensuring peace on the border for decades, not only the people on the border, but even the people in Shangjing praised you, you have such a great merit, if I rashly take your name, I really can't explain it to the outside world." ”
Lu Xuan slowly sank again, he clenched his back molars, raised his head and opened his mouth to defend: "Your Majesty, minister-"
Before he finished speaking, the emperor interrupted with a good smile and continued: "I am not a person who disregards the wishes of his courtiers, so your title will continue to be retained, but the martial arts field and the daily morning dynasty can be saved, and you can continue to occupy the Lu Mansion, if you want to go back, you can go back, and if you want to continue in Shangjing, you will be in Shangjing, I will never force you." ”
Hearing this, Lu Li was stunned and didn't react for a while.
The emperor actually wanted to keep his name, and the Lu Mansion even allowed himself to continue to occupy it, such a great freedom, but Donglan Kingdom has never had a privilege.
Just when Lu Li was shocked, the emperor sent another big surprise: "Your child's name is Wangshu, right?" Since the last incident, I have always thought of this child, who was affected by this twist and turn at a young age, and it was really not easy, so I will do it together today. ”
"Lu Wangshu, the son of the Duke of Lu Guo, is the son of the prince, and he will be rewarded with 100 hectares of fertile land, 100 taels of gold and silver."
Shizi?!
Lu Li was once again speechless in surprise.
"Lu Guogong, take the order?" The father-in-law who announced the decree handed over the decree and reminded it with a smile.
Lu Li was busy taking the holy decree with both hands and bowing: "The minister thanked the emperor for the dog!" ”
The emperor smiled, and then waved his hand in a dashing manner, "Get up, I have nothing else to do, you have done the handover in the past two days, and then take your wife and children wherever you want, I don't care anymore!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
Until he left the palace, Lu Li's heart was still pounding, he couldn't believe it anyway, after the last incident in the eldest princess's mansion, the emperor was so relieved of himself, and even named Wangshu as the prince, which is really incredible.
Xiao Man at home doesn't know about this yet, he has to go back as soon as possible, so that Xiao Man can be happy and happy, and by the way, pack his bags and leave Beijing!
