Chapter 63: The Gift
"Your Majesty, the proportion of our generals is out of balance, and now there are frequent wars, and the ministers implore the emperor to select military generals and accompany the army together!"
Without warning, Wen Jinzhi dropped a bomb on the court.
This bomb was much more frightening than the previous one when he said that he was going to lead the troops to start a war with Jingguo.
Wen Jinzhi had not discussed this matter with anyone before he said it, but the emperor only vaguely knew a little, and he never wanted to suddenly bring it up today.
Or when he made it clear that he wanted him to lead the troops again......
That's right, Wen Jinzhi's idea is very simple, he can't accompany his wife, so he can pull more people, so that they can't be happy with nephrite jade, so that everyone can have difficulties together, and their hearts can be balanced!
The emperor's mind was racing, and he could understand Wen Jinzhi's thoughts in an instant, but this matter was right in his arms, and he also had this intention.
"I don't know what General Wen thinks, Aiqing?"
What is the ......
The courtiers have words of suffering, and they don't seem to object to the emperor's appearance, could it be that the emperor and General Wen have already discussed?
They didn't want to offend the emperor, but this matter-
Yu Feiqing, who was standing in the third row on the left, thought about it secretly, and seeing that everyone didn't dare to step forward and speak at will, he stood up unhurriedly.
"Extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, and the minister believes that General Wen's proposal is beneficial to the country, and now although only Jingguo is openly provocative, other countries are also ready to move, and they may not be ambitious. For the sake of the long term, the selection of some capable generals regardless of their background in the whole country, just like the imperial examination, must have responded one after another, and entering the battlefield will certainly add a lot of help and quell the war as soon as possible. ”
Wen Jinzhi is a military general, Yu Feiqing is a civil minister, although the two have shown discord many times, but they have a relationship with each other, and they are both pure ministers who are loyal to the emperor on the surface, so the fact that both of them expressed their stance like this also shows the emperor's attitude.
If the courtiers refuse again, they will be working against the emperor, so they can only say one after another.
"The minister seconded the ......"
"The minister seconded the ......"
All of a sudden, there was harmony in the court.
"Then I'll leave this matter over—" Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly got stuck, and wanted to pass it over to General Wen by the way, but he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had just said that he would let him go to the border again.
"This matter is a big matter, so I will hand it over to Yu Aiqing, with the assistance of Qin Aiqing, and it will be implemented after the first month."
After the emperor agreed, he casually ordered to go down, and he was very skillful in shaking off the shopkeeper, and set a time.
Yu Feiqing is a civil minister, and a Qin Ling is a military general, the two glanced at each other and bowed their heads to obey orders.
"Obey."
The god of gentleness stood in the team, glanced at the two people who received the order, how much he wanted to change, this is not that he didn't want to fight, he just wanted to accompany his wife more, and now he has only been back for ten years, and he is leaving, I don't know how sad his wife will be when she knows.
……
Because the selection of generals is really a big event, the news that the emperor wants him to lead the troops again was suppressed, which made Wen Jinzhi breathe a sigh of relief, if he didn't let his wife know, let her know, and finally he told her again.
Weiguo has never selected military generals, because the so-called military generals are all selected from the aristocracy, some nobles have always been military generals, and some are military generals who have made great achievements ten years ago and were canonized, and rarely have a complete set of imperial examination system like the selection of civil ministers.
Moreover, Wenchen's imperial examination is not said to be okay with everyone, in the defense of the country, books are as expensive as sky-high, let alone buy without money, and they are not allowed to look at it, so it greatly restricts the origin.
Unexpectedly, this martial arts move was not limited to origin, and the people were shocked.
This is different from conscription, but as soon as you enter the army, you can have a position, and if there is a great creation in the future, you can be crowned a marquis!
Although the previous conscription was the same as going to war, the chance of wanting to be a big official was very small, and this martial arts move was different.
For a while, all the people who heard the news had some ability to sign up, anyway, the registration is different from the imperial examination, the name of the imperial examination is to ask for silver, but the martial arts do not want it, if you can be selected, you will even have to send silver!
The crowd was like a chicken.
……
Wen Jin came back from the court, with a faint look of embarrassment on his face, and he never thought about what to tell his wife.
The emperor stayed with him for a while, and told him that he hoped that he would go to the border as soon as possible, and that he could not leave the New Year at the latest.
It's less than a month.
Yu Wu'er took charge of the housekeeper for the first time, and after handing it over to the housekeeper, she felt that it was not so difficult, probably the only advantage was that she didn't have to report to others where she went.
Her husband went to the court, and she suddenly thought that her husband's birthday seemed to be in the first month, and her mother had taken the second sister's eight characters to meet him, and she vaguely remembered.
"Liu Mei, you say, what should I give my husband?"
Liu Meihou was behind her, "This...... If the prince likes something, the lady will give him something. ”
"But the key is ...... I don't know what he likes......"
Speaking of this, Yu Wu'er felt very guilty in her heart, as her husband's wife, she didn't know what her husband liked, it was too negligent.
Liu Mei thought for a while, and said for her wife: "It's better to let the slave go and inquire about the little house around the prince——"
Yu Wu'er shook her head, "This is not good, let's let it go for a while, I will carefully observe my husband in the past few days to see if I can see his preferences." ”
"Actually, Mrs. doesn't have to be so entangled, the slave thinks, the son's favorite is Mrs., no matter what Mrs. gives the son, the son will be happy." Liu Mei's words are very reasonable.
However, when Yu Wu'er heard this, she still blushed.
But because of this, she can't give gifts casually, she must give him a gift that her husband really likes.
So, in the past few days, Wen Jinzhi has discovered a bad thing.
Whether it was during meals, or at bedtime, or at any other time, as long as he got along with his wife, his wife would talk a lot, and what he said was ......
For example, at this time-
"Husband, look at what you like to eat these dishes, I'll clip it for you......"
"Husband, you see so many clothes on me, which color do you think I look the best to wear?"
"Husband, I have selected a lot of jade pendants from the treasury, you see your favorite one, I will help you hang up the ......"
"Husband, the world says that Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum, green pine and cypress, each has its own meaning, I don't know which one does my husband like the most?"
"Husband......
……
Wen Jinzhi didn't know what his wife wanted to do, but he was very cooperative, and he would say whatever he asked.
I wanted to see what his wife was going to do, and I became interested.
In this way, after some temptation, Yu Wu'er was finally able to determine what her husband liked, and she also knew what gift she wanted to give on her husband's birthday.
On this day, early in the morning, her husband went to the morning court, and after breakfast, she instructed Liu Mei to prepare a carriage and prepare to go to Fuyuan Pavilion to choose gifts for her husband.
Naturally, the gifts she gave to her husband did not need to be bought with the silver in the gongzhong, but with the money generated by her own dowry shop.
The snow just stopped yesterday, and the thick layer of snow has been swept away on both sides, so it is not appropriate to travel by mistake.
Today, the sky is scattered with clouds, revealing the long-lost sunshine, which is a good day.
Knowing that the things in Fuyuan Pavilion are the best and the most expensive, Yu Wu'er brought enough silver this time, so she was afraid that she would not be able to buy the things because of the lack of money.
This time, she brought Liu Mei to hide from her husband, and no one else would help her pay the bill, so she naturally had to bring more.
As soon as I entered the Fuyuan Pavilion, a shopkeeper greeted me.
"The little one has seen Madame, I don't know what Madame is going to choose this time, even if you choose, as long as it is gold, silver and jade, what we have in this store is the best!"
Yu Wu'er listened to him and felt strange in her heart.
"Do you recognize me?"
"Madame laughed, you are the only princess of Wenhou Mansion, the wife of our god of war, of course the little one recognizes you, not to mention that you also bought a bird'shead hairpin in the small shop before, with a unique vision, and you fell in love with one of the treasures of the small shop at a glance!"
The shopkeeper's attitude is flattering, but the flattering is just right, and it is not offensive.
"The shopkeeper praised, this time it's not a secret, I'm still here to pick a gift, my eldest sister liked the bird's head hairpin last time very much, so this time I came to patronize the shopkeeper's business."
"Then I wonder if Madame wants to pick out some jade or gold jewelry this time?"
"I'll pick a jade pendant, which means peace, I don't know if the shopkeeper can recommend it."
When a young woman is unmarried, she needs to wear a hat when she goes out, but when she is married, she does not.
Yu Wu'er looked at the shopkeeper lightly and asked.
"Coincidentally, yesterday the shop just became a few jade pendants, among which there is a piece of peace buckle, ink-colored nephrite, bright and smooth, high-grade black jade, Mrs. please go upstairs, and the small one will let people go to get it for Mrs."
After all, Yu Wu'er came early in the morning, so there were few people in the store now, and the shopkeeper greeted her up to the second floor.
Ordered someone to bring a few excellent jade ornaments that had just been made yesterday, not only jade pendants, but also jade crown pendants and others.
One by one in front of Yu Wu'er, let her choose.
The other jade dancers didn't look at it, but they saw one of the jade stones at a glance, the color is ink, moist and bright, and the shape is the shape of the most common Ping An buckle, but the middle of the Ping An buckle is hollow out, and Yu Wu'er values it because of this special.
She stepped forward and gently picked up the jade pendant, which looked more delicate.
"Is this safety buckle the one the shopkeeper said?"
"Exactly, Mrs. Dissatisfied said that when the jade pendant was first made, the master once wanted to collect it himself, but in the end he put it up, but he was afraid that the jade would be dusty......"
"That's it." Yu Wu'er interrupted him directly. The husband likes ink, although he never likes the things used in the vulgar ceremony, but they are very exquisite, this jade pendant is made of good ink jade, and the craftsmanship is very good, and it is very suitable for giving it to the husband as a gift.
"Liu Mei, you go with the shopkeeper to pay the bill."
"Yes, ma'am."
