Chapter 861: The Matter of Succession
At this time, in front of Lu's house, Lu Xiaobei got down from the carriage, asked his subordinates to take things, and followed him into the house.
"Sir, are you back?" The porter came up to salute him diligently, and when he saw the rock sugar gourd in his hand, he smiled again, "In the afternoon, the eldest young master and the second young master were still shouting, saying that you were going to bring them back with rock sugar gourds." ”
Speaking of his son, Lu Xiaobei had a smile on his face.
Du Fangling was angry and gave birth to three sons in a row. But the youngest was born not long ago, and he was still in swaddling clothes.
The Lu family's house was newly bought by Lu Xiaobei last year.
In order not to grab the market with Du Jinning, Lu Xiaobei did not do tea business, but did silk business. He is a very flexible person, and he is willing to put in the effort, and when Du Jinning was admitted to the top prize, his business was very good.
When Du Jinning advocated science and technology and asked the court to reward skilled craftsmen, Lu Xiaobei was greatly inspired and immediately proposed that there be heavy rewards for improving craftsmanship in his weaving workshop.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and some people have improved the loom, and woven a cloth that is finer and softer than before; Improvements were made to the dye, and the color of the dyed silk was brighter.
Later, Du Jinning disappeared, and Lu Xiaobei put down his business and searched for Du Jinning all over the world, so that Zhao Yu noticed him. As soon as people inquired about the friendship between Lu Xiaobei and Du Jinning, Zhao Yu was very embarrassed, and sighed at Lu Xiaobei's gratitude - Lu Xiaobei could be regarded as registering in front of the emperor.
Later, Du Jinning returned to the court and became the eldest princess of Ningguo, and saw that the silk in Lu Xiaobei's workshop was really good, so he gave some to the Empress Dowager Zheng, Zhao Mingyue and the queen.
The success of the voyage brought huge profits, causing the price of silk to rise, and Lu Xiaobei became an imperial merchant at this time. So he seized this opportunity and made the business very big at once.
Lu Xiaobei knew that since Du Jinning got married, Du Fangling had been thinking about her mother-in-law who lived alone. He wanted to take his mother-in-law to live at home, but his mother-in-law did not agree. It happened that there was a house for sale near Du Mansion, and Lu Xiaobei was not short of money, so he bought this house.
This house is in the same alley as Du's house, just a few steps away, which is convenient for Du Fangling to take care of her mother.
When he arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, Lu Xiaobei said to the little girl: "Okay, give me the rock sugar gourd." He took the rock sugar gourd and went straight to the inner house.
He was going to surprise his son.
After entering the house and passing through the garden, he was about to go up from the corridor to the courtyard where his son lived, when he heard the voice of his wife Du Fangling from the beauty in the corridor: "Brother Qi is three and a half years old, why hasn't Jinning's stomach moved?" ”
"I asked Aunt Yan about this, and Aunt Yan said that Xiaoyuan didn't want Jinning to have a child, saying that it was too dangerous. Aunt Yan also said that the emperor also meant the same thing, saying that how many things in the court pointed to her, especially about high-yield rice. Didn't you see that in the year or two when she disappeared, she couldn't grow rice with good rice seeds? If you have a difficult birth, how can you get it? ”
This is Chan's voice.
Speaking of which, Chen also persuaded Du Fangling: "You too." Now that they have three sons, they are enough to be worthy of the ancestors of the Lu family, don't have any more. This woman gives birth to a child, but she is spinning in the ghost gate, and no one can say what will happen to her when she gives birth. ”
"Well, mother, I listen to you, I won't give birth." Du Fangling said.
After a pause, she asked again: "Jinning will give birth to one, and her mother-in-law has no opinion?" ”
Chen snorted: "If her mother-in-law is in the capital, she will definitely say something." But isn't it not in Kyori? followed her father-in-law to take office, even if she had an opinion. And this is what the emperor meant, Jinning is a princess again, even if she has an opinion, what can she do? A few words of nagging at most. ”
Saying that, Chen sighed: "Jin Ning wants to give birth, saying that Brother Qi is so old, she should have another child." ”
"Huh?" Du Fangling asked in surprise, "Why do you want to give birth?" has a son, and they all tell her not to give birth, why should she be strong? ”
"She said that she wanted to have a child surnamed Du, so that I could follow the incense with your father." Chen's voice was a little choked, "This is also to blame me, when I chatted with Tao's mother about someone else's stepson, I said in passing, did I go back to my hometown to follow a child of Jincheng or Jinde, and give your father a follow-incense." That's just talking, but unfortunately your sister heard it. ”
Lu Xiaobei originally planned to leave, but when he heard this, his footsteps stopped suddenly.
"I'm sorry, mother, I—we never thought about this." Du Fangling's voice was full of guilt.
"Don't, I'll just say it casually, really. Life is like a lamp going out, what incense is not incense? Your father has no son, and he went early, leaving our mother and son to suffer a lot, why is there any need to risk having a child for him? In my heart, you are the same as your sons, stronger than other people's sons. ”
Chen Shi said again: "I will persuade Jinning, don't worry." ”
“…… Good. Du Fangling nodded.
After Chen went back, Du Fangling entered her son's yard and saw that the two eldest sons were eating happily with rock sugar gourds, and Lu Xiaobei was checking their homework.
"Buy this again." She said angrily, "If you want to eat, you can just ask the kitchen to make it, and the things outside are not as clean as those made at home." ”
"Eat once in a while, it's fine." Lu Xiaobei actually disapproves of his wife's words, but it is not good to tear down her in front of his son.
He lived a hard life when he was a child, and what kind of stall vendor on the street didn't eat anything? How can it be so exquisite.
"You're back just in time, I have something to tell you." Du Fangling said, turned around and walked out of the courtyard and went back to the main courtyard.
Lu Xiaobei took two quick steps and put his arm around her shoulder: "What words?" ”
In fact, what Du Fangling wanted to say, he guessed everything.
It's just that when Du Jinning disappeared, he searched all over the world, and his performance was on par with Qi Muyuan. Although he didn't know that Du Jinning was a woman at the time, and later learned that he only had respect for her, he was worried that Du Fangling would think too much. It's really unreasonable for a woman to be jealous. So it's about Du Jinning, even if he wants to take the initiative to mention the matter of succession, it's not easy to say it directly.
Du Fangling hesitated for a moment, raised her head and said, "Xianggong, I want to pass Brother Guan to the Du family and be my mother's own grandson." ”
Lu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, pretending not to know the slightest reason, and asked, "How did you think of this?" He hurriedly said, "This is naturally no problem." Anyway, even if his surname is Du, he is my son. Then he asked, "Will you still live with us after you have passed?" ”
"It should be. It doesn't matter if my mother wants to take it over and live with her for a while, anyway, we are so close. Du Fangling told her what Chen told her.
She told Lu Xiaobei her thoughts again: "Jin Ning is a princess, and her son is the king of the county, how can she be passed on to the people's family as a son?" The situation of the two brothers is too far apart, and the one who passed by him complained about Jin Ning somehow, maybe he would have to bury the root cause. Moreover, her son is also considered a royal person, and it is estimated that the Queen Mother and the emperor will not allow it. On the contrary, there is not much difference between the surname Lu and the surname Du, but it is just a matter of letting a son have my surname. ”
After listening to the conversation between the Chen family and Du Fangling, Lu Xiaobei made a decision to pass on one of his sons to the Du family. At this time, after listening to Du Fangling's words, he naturally agreed: "You are right, just do it." ”
Although Du Fangling is usually spicy, she also knows that men are very concerned about this issue. If Lu Xiaobei disagrees, she will not be reluctant no matter how strong she is.
Seeing that Lu Xiaobei agreed so happily, his heart was relieved, and he stretched out his hand to touch Lu Xiaobei's face: "Xianggong, you are so good." Then he turned cheerfully, "I will go to my mother and tell her the good news." ”
