Chapter 203: Willing to be a side room
"Right...... Yes! Mrs. Gao was reminded like this, and finally remembered what the problem was, "You have been vigorously brokering the marriage of the two of them, if he is really willing to marry Lan'er, he will not marry someone else." ”
"It's not that hard." The corners of Lu's lips hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, "There are two ways to go." The best policy is to ask for marriage, so that even if it is a side room, it is also a marriage by order, and it will not insult Lan'er. ”
Mrs. Gao's face was embarrassed: "It's not that I didn't tell Concubine Qing at the beginning, but she has been reluctant to help with this. ”
"Auntie, let's talk about another way." Gao Zhilan also knows that the plea will not be easy.
"The other one is a good idea, but it's very safe, but I don't know if Lan'er can accept it." Lu swept the mother and daughter with his eyes and sold a pass.
"As long as you can achieve what you want, there is nothing unacceptable. Auntie, talk about it! Gao Zhilan urged.
Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and whispered a few words in the ears of the mother and daughter.
Mrs. Gao couldn't help but gasp when she heard this: "This can't be helped, if the old lady and the old man know......"
"What can they know?" Lu Shi laughed, "With Murong Chu's current identity, will he still be able to publicize it everywhere?" When the time comes, I'm afraid he wants to hurry up and welcome Lan'er into the door more than anyone else to cover up the matter. ”
Gao Zhilan rolled her eyes: "I think my aunt is reasonable, if this matter is before Mo Jinxi enters the door, maybe it can still disrupt their marriage, then I can't just become a wife?" ”
A trace of disdain flashed in Lu's eyes, and she quickly covered it up: "Lan'er, after what happened before, why don't you have a long memory?" ”
"Aunt......" Gao Zhilan looked at the Lu family in confusion.
Lu shook his head helplessly and sighed lightly: "I said before that I would no longer act recklessly, but I forgot about it for a while?" ”
"What should I do according to my aunt?"
"Lan'er, you have to use your brain to do things, and you can only act if you think about it." Lu Shi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said slowly, "You don't want to think about it, now Mo Jinxi is already the eldest princess's daughter, even if you succeed, can she easily give up this marriage?" ”
As long as she doesn't spit out, no one can annul their marriage contract. Therefore, this matter can only be discussed if you are willing to do the side room. ”
Gao Zhilan took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, Lan'er listens to her aunt, and she will never be reckless this time." ”
Lu nodded: "This matter can't be rushed, the time, place, and people are indispensable, find a good time, and then let him have no room for maneuver." ”
Mrs. Gao listened to the two of them with a blank face, and she felt that her daughter was now like a ghost, and no one could let her turn back.
And for herself, the princess sister who has no title, I don't know whether to thank or complain.
……
The capital is located in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in the past, it would start to snow in October, but this year the snow was a little late, and it was not until October 15 that a little snowflakes fell in the sky.
When the first snow falls every year, some of the most lively mansions hold a snow viewing party. This year is no exception, as soon as the snowflakes arrive, some families start to prepare.
That night, the Mo family received three or four posts, all of which invited the Mo family's aunt and sister-in-law to come over the next day to enjoy the snow.
The next day, the snow not only did not stop, but it became heavier and heavier, and the cold wind swept a large number of snowflakes flying all over the sky.
The entire capital was shrouded in silver, and the snow on the road had blocked the passage of horse-drawn carriages, and the snow feasts in various prefectures could not be held as scheduled.
This is in line with Mo Li's wishes, she doesn't like to socialize, but she ends up idle.
It snowed heavily for three days, and if it weren't for the constant cleaning by the people in the house, I am afraid that I would not even be able to get out of the house.
In addition to the inconvenience of access, large families have not been greatly affected, but ordinary people are not so lucky.
The heavy snow directly turned into a snow disaster, and many houses in the capital were damaged to varying degrees, especially the grass houses of some poor families, which had already been crushed by snowdrifts.
People who were frozen to death began to appear on the streets of the capital one after another, and the various good halls were already overcrowded.
Mo Li looked at the white expanse outside the window, his mind turned slightly, although he didn't go out, the scene outside can be imagined.
Even in the previous life, living in the north, I had never seen such heavy snow. I remember that in my previous life, a snowstorm caused power outages in some cities, paralyzed roads and railways, and killed more than 100 people.
Many southern regions saw a rare spectacle of thousands of miles of ice, where large numbers of trees were crushed by snow and ice, and animals were frozen to death by the bitter cold.
At that time, it was winter vacation, and Mo Li also went to the disaster area with a volunteer team to rescue.
She remembers spending a long time on the road, not because of the distance, but because many of the roads were so difficult.
Along the way, you will see badly damaged power grids and high-voltage power line towers, as well as animals that have frozen to death. At that time, she was still surprised that the seemingly innocent and harmless snowflakes had such a huge destructive power.
In the modern era of advanced science and technology, it can cause such a big loss, and now that she is in ancient times, she really dare not compare what the consequences of this snow disaster will bring.
Compared with Beijing, the disaster in other prefectures and counties is more serious, especially in the area of Yanyunzhou on Jingcheng North Road, where heavy snow continues to fall.
Although the road was covered with heavy snow, it could not stop the twists and turns from flying into the capital one by one.
The emperor is also very worried about this matter, early in the court, the ministers have different opinions, some propose to go to Longfu Temple to pray for blessings, some say that the allocation of funds for disaster relief, and some people say that the local government should save itself......
Above the court, several civil officials headed by Xiao Wentong and Xiao Chengxiang believed that the snow disaster was far less than the damage caused by floods and earthquakes, and as long as the snow stopped, it would naturally be fine, as long as the local officials properly resettled the victims in time.
But several elderly generals didn't think so, many of the people present had participated in the war with Beixiang, especially these veterans, who had been stationed at the border with General Yun and the eldest princess.
They know how serious the consequences of the snow disaster are, and they are far from being like these civil officials who have been pampered in the capital for many years.
Although Yanyun Prefecture is not as good as the northern border, but the heavy snow that has fallen for several days in a row, the loss is not only visible in front of you, but also the destruction of crops and the freezing of a large number of livestock will directly affect the cultivation of next year's crops.
The land area of the North is much larger than that of the Great Zhou, but it is not as rich as the Great Zhou, because most of the land is in the extremely cold land, and it is covered by snow all the year round, even if it is a southerly area, there are nearly five months of the year in winter, which is not conducive to cultivation at all, so the crop resources of the North are much scarcer than those of the Great Zhou.
General Bao, who was nearly sixty years old, expressed his worries to the emperor, and immediately attracted the echo of others.
