However, it was said that after Lu Ying returned to the capital, the first thing he did was to throw the two "tongues" he brought into Zhao Prison, and then he went to the East Palace to see the crown prince Zhao Zhen and reported to him what he had seen and heard on this trip.

When Zhao Zhen heard that he had caught the handle of King Zhao Yu, he immediately happily rewarded him with two beauties, and said, "Lao Jiu, for so many years, it is not easy for you to be in the wind and rain, you should have a home." ”

Lu Ying insisted, "Your Highness, my subordinates plan to settle down after they come back from this trip, but these two beauties will be exempted, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen's handsome face was full of surprise, "Yo, Lao Jiu is also enlightened?" Say, which girl do you fall in love with? Lonely is your master! ”

Lu Ying smiled and said respectfully, "Your Highness, after your subordinates have handed over their errands, they plan to propose marriage, and when the time comes, you will definitely let Your Highness be the master!" ”

"Lao Jiu, tell me Gu, which girl fell into your eyes?" Zhao Zhen was quite interested, rubbing his hands and walking out from behind the bookcase, his face full of curiosity.

This "cold-faced Langjun", who everyone in Beijing knows, has also moved his heart?

"Back to His Royal Highness, this girl, well, yes, yes......" Lu Ying didn't know how to continue.

Reasoning, Cai Wei is the girl of the Guozi Priest Restaurant, and her identity is okay. It's just that Cai Wei has been living in the countryside for so many years, and she has never been in contact with the Mu family in Jingzhong at all, if he says it, will she be unhappy?

Forget it, let's be honest.

"Lao Jiu, this girl is not from a high background?" Zhao Zhen saw him like this, it is estimated that this girl's origin is not on the stage.

Lu Ying no longer hesitated, raised her head and replied, "Your Highness, this girl is the girl of the Jiumu family who is the prince of the capital, but she has been living in the countryside for more than ten years......

"There is still a girl in the Mu family who lives in the countryside? Concubine? Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Ying's face and asked very carefully.

Because Lu Ying is also a concubine, but he has always been raised in front of the British duchess, plus he has made great achievements in war over the years, and his official fortune is prosperous, so the British duchess looks at him differently.

He didn't know if Lu Ying minded his identity, so he asked a little apprehensively.

"Not really." Lu Ying laughed, but he didn't care, in this world, although many people fancy their background, and many people are burdened by their background, he doesn't care.

Without a background, he can also start from the bottom. When he was on the field, he didn't think about his background. In this life, he knew that his fate was in his own hands.

Sometimes, birth may bring great benefits to oneself, but the years of spilling blood from the head are the most precious in life.

Zhao Zhen saw that he didn't want to reveal more, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile, "Lao Jiu seems to have really moved his heart this time." It's okay, you can take these two beauties back to the house first, and let them train you on the road, so that you can fall in love with Miss Mu! Haha......"

"Your Highness laughed, subordinates, you really can't ask for it." Lu Ying waved her hand, looking helpless.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to give up.

In this way, Zhao Zhen followed Lu Ying to Zhao Prison to interrogate the two tongues that were locked up.

The name of Zhao Prison is still very big, and those two tongues didn't recruit at first, but as soon as they saw the eighteen torture tools of Zhao Prison, they all recruited them.

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the confession that Zhao Yu, the king of Cheng, had privately cast weapons in the cave, and ordered Lu Ying to go back to the mansion to rest first, and he went to the palace to see the emperor.

Lu Ying got out of Zhao Prison, and after getting on the horse, she went straight to her mansion in Fusi Backstreet in Beizhen. This was rewarded by the emperor after he entered the Jinyi Guard.

Since he has this mansion, he doesn't have to go back to the British mansion, and he doesn't have to look at those people's warmth.

But not long after he entered the mansion, someone from the East Palace came. When he came out to take a look, it was Zhao Zhen's personal eunuch Sanbao father-in-law, who walked over with those two beauties and smiled.

Lu Ying's head buzzed loudly, and she patted her forehead helplessly, "Father-in-law, this is what His Highness asked you to send here?" I've told His Highness that I can't ask for it, so you better take it back. ”

"Oh, Lord Lu, our family can't be the master, our family only knows to obey His Highness's orders, if you don't want to, just tell Your Highness!"

Sanbao is also a hob meat, oil and salt don't enter, and he left these two beauties behind.

Because it was rewarded by the prince, Lu Ying couldn't put them in the next room, so she had to point to a small courtyard and let people take them over.

He lives in the study in the front yard anyway, without his orders, others can't see her, when the time comes, when he goes back to Lijia Village to propose marriage to Cai Wei, a few months away, these two beauties can't stay, I'm afraid I'll leave, right?

Thinking so, he didn't take it seriously, ate some food indiscriminately, and then rested.

After days of traveling, he was really tired, and as soon as he slept until dawn, he planned to go out for a walk and buy some rare things.

Anyway, Zhao Zhen has already given him leave, and this time, he wants to bring some valuable items to propose marriage.

As soon as he changed into a homely satin robe, the old man in the porter came to report all the way to the house, saying that the British duchess had come to the house.

The British duchess is Lu Ying's mother-in-law, although she has no feelings for her, but the number of courtesies she should have is still indispensable.

He had to go out to meet him.

The British duchess came in full costume in her fifties. She is tall and tall, and after she became rich in middle age, she looks more and more round and jade, her face is fair, and she looks no more than thirty years old.

Lu Ying stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and clasped her fists in salute, "My son has seen his mother!" ”

The British duchess had a decent smile on her face, and bent down to help Lu Ying with her own hands, "Good boy, you have returned to Beijing here, why don't you go home to live?" ”

Lu Ying took advantage of the situation and smiled lightly, "My son still has some things to deal with, and it's cheap to live here." ”

His mansion is in Fusi, Beizhen, and it is also close to Zhao Prison, so the British Duchess really can't find anything wrong.

But the British duchess was not so easy to dismiss, and after looking around the empty courtyard, she sighed, "Lao Jiu, you said that you are also in your twenties, and your brothers have several children at your age." You don't marry a daughter-in-law, it's really uncomfortable for your mother's heart. ”

Lu Ying had a headache, why did one or two care about him so much?

A few years ago, when he left home to join the army, no one asked whether he was alive or dead, but when he saw that he was rich and prosperous, he rushed to catch up?

But the Duchess of Guo was his nominal mother, and he couldn't help but give her a little thin face, so he smiled and said, "The son's affairs have made my mother worry about it." When my son came back this time, he planned to settle down. ”

"Oh? Is it? The Duchess of England looked very happy, "It would be nice that you could think so." Your father has explained to me, and he has already fallen in love with a few girls, so I'll take you to meet Ming'er when I wait for ......."

Lu Ying hurriedly stopped the Duchess of Guo from gushing words, "Mother, my son will take care of this matter himself." ”

"Silly child, marriage events, parents' orders matchmaker's words, your child's family, I haven't experienced it, just look at those skins, how do you know what is good and what is bad?"

She didn't know whether she couldn't hear it or pretended to be confused, anyway, she had to call the shots for Lu Ying, which made him very disgusted.

For so many years, he has made his own decisions, he fought bloody battles on the battlefield, returned triumphantly, and was promoted from a small colonel to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, before that, no one had ever asked about his life and death, or asked about his relatives.

Now that he is a very powerful minister, these relatives have run out.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a sneering smile, his family affairs are naturally his own decisions, and if others want to interfere, it depends on whether he is willing or not!

"Mother, my son still has something to do, so I can't accompany your old man." Lu Ying took a step back and bowed.

The British duchess's words were all held in her throat, and she couldn't pour out or swallow them.

She still wants to be close to him, and let him set up an errand in the brocade guard for her son, the prince of England, who would have thought that he would be busy with business with such a big shelf?

But people are busy with business, and she naturally can't stop her, no matter what, his official position is there.

"Okay, my son has a chance, and my mother can't hold you back, right?" She waved her hand gracefully and magnanimously, watching Lu Ying turn around and stride out, looking at the tall back, she felt very uncomfortable.

Her own son is not successful, and she has to count on this concubine, which makes her face really gloomy.

If she hadn't counted on him, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this concubine.

Lu Ying avoided the British duchess, went out, and took the two servants to the most prosperous area in the city. He was to buy some gold and silver jewelry, and all kinds of precious jewelry, so that he could make a dowry when the time came.

It's just that he is a big man, and he has never gone shopping, let alone bought women's jewelry, and he is still empty-handed after shopping.

He couldn't help but be anxious, turned around and asked the two little guys behind him, "Little three and four, tell me, what should you buy as a dowry?" ”

The third and fourth are the two most clever in his little house, there are no girls in his house, they are all small girls, and they are too lazy to come up with names, so they are arranged according to "one, two, three, four".

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and then replied carefully, "Master, the girl's family naturally likes gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache, you can buy some of everything!" ”

"Do you think your grandfather is a banker?" Lu Ying glared at them, "Why don't you buy some of everything?" Buy you a head! ”

Seeing that he was angry, the junior and the fourth quickly shut up and silenced him one by one.

God knows, how to answer that!

Lu Ying scratched the back of her head, turned around and entered a jewelry store.

He was dressed in a silver-white satin robe with a silk belt around his waist, the most ordinary rich boy dressed, but because of his demonic face and green pine-like figure, he attracted all the attention in the jewelry shop.

Most of the ladies who come to the jewelry shop are the ladies of the family, and the ladies are okay, after all, the famous flowers have masters, but they will retract their eyes after a few more glances.

But those young ladies couldn't hold it back, and a pair of eyes, bright or dark, all shot towards Lu Ying, making him feel a little irritable.

He raised an eyebrow uncomfortably, walked to the counter, and asked the guy in the back, "What new hairpin hairpin head flower do you have here?" ”

He had the impression that women liked these jewelry.

The man knew at a glance that this was a big customer, and he hurriedly brought out several exquisite boxes, opened them one by one, and for a while the room was golden and bright.

"This son, this is the treasure of the small shop, can you take a look and see if you like anything?" The guy tried his best to solicit it.

Lu Ying looked at the past one by one, and looked at it very carefully, but she was also dazzled.

None of them looked the same, and he really couldn't tell which was better and which was more beautiful. I want to buy it back, but I'm afraid that Cai Wei will say that he doesn't care. For a moment, he was so entangled that he frowned.

"Childe, who do you want to buy it for? Is it a mother or a sister? Next to her, a girl in a green satin jacket and goose yellow dress stepped forward and asked earnestly.

Lu Ying was worried about not knowing how to choose, and when she heard someone ask, she didn't even look at others, and subconsciously replied, "I bought it for a girl who has just passed the age of Jilu." ”

When the girl next to her heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled. It must have been his sister.

So she approached with a smile and was courteous, "The girl that Childe said is not very old, the same age as flowers, and she wears some gorgeous jewelry, she must be able to hold it down." ”

"Yes, the girl has a point." Lu Ying's sadness dissipated, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, revealing a smile, and she was stunned by the girl next to her for a while.

She thought to herself: Is there really such a handsome man in this world? The ancients said that "the appearance is better than Pan An Song Yu", which is really true!

"Childe, do you want the little girl to choose for you?" The girl simply pushed away the girl who was blocking her, leaned on Lu Ying's side, and enthusiastically proposed.

In ancient times, when everyone went out, they were accompanied by elders and mothers-in-law, and they couldn't talk to strange men casually.

The girl pushed the girl away, and her thoughts were visible.

Lu Ying suddenly got bored, and was even more choked by the fragrant aroma on her body.

Cai Wei has never had such a pungent and rich fragrance, smelling it, the light sweetness can eliminate the fatigue of the body.

Why does this woman in Beijing like to smoke such an unpleasant incense?

He moved to the side, separated himself from the girl, turned his face and said coldly, "Thank you girl, I like to pick it myself." ”

These words made the face of the girl who was enthusiastic suddenly unable to hang up, and she stood there sneeringly and didn't know what to say, and in the eyes of the sarcasm, she had to pull the girl's hand and leave.

Behind him, someone whispered, "That's the girl in the wine house of the prince of the country, right?" Why do you not know your own weight so much? ”

Because Cai Wei is the girl in the sacrificial wine house, Lu Ying is very attentive to the Mu family, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but think: Is that girl Cai Wei's sister just now? But don't be a sister like that.

The man pushed the box forward, and he put his mind to it and carefully selected it

For a while, I picked a hairpin of Danfeng Chaoyang, which was inlaid with gold and jade, and picked a pair of Nanzhu heads, thinking that Cai Wei didn't like to wear too many ornaments on her head, so she simply picked up a few new pearl flowers.

The pearl flower is the appearance of the palace, and he has also seen it on the head of Princess Gu'an, but it is fresh and beautiful. The pink beads, with the snow-white palace veil, set off Cai Wei's fair complexion.

After picking it out, the man packed it for him, paid the silver, and he didn't give it to the little servant, but carried the box out of the jewelry store with his own hands, and went to the rouge shop next door.

When he lived in Lijia Village, Cai Wei liked to make some rouge powder by himself, and he didn't like the lead powder bought in the shop, so he wanted to go to the rouge shop to see if there was anything fresh.

After shopping around, he didn't pick anything to like, so he had to buy a few expensive ones, and went to the ready-to-wear store again with satisfaction.

After tossing for a day, he led the little three and four big bags back to the house, and asked someone to load the car that night, planning to go back to Lijia Village to propose relatives when he saw the emperor.
