Chapter 227: Husband and Wife Night Talk

Liu Fu looked at the secret report he had just gotten in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "From the five products of the Jingnan camp?" Hmph, cheap him"

Liu Gu had already driven out all the maidens and mothers-in-law who were waiting around him, and at this time only his wife and wife were left in the house. I heard that this Jingnan battalion is going to be sent directly to Beiwangcheng, and the danger is so tight, how can that kid still take advantage? ”

Liu Fu glanced at her impatiently, put the secret report on the candle flame and burned it, and then threw it into the water bowl, before leaning back in the chair and stretching: "What do you know?" The martial artists who have entered the second class are generally sealed with five grades, and only forty or fifty people can be sealed from the fifth grade. The kid who went east was so high, but he was only from the fifth grade, someone must have done something deliberate."

Liu Gu was a little confused when he heard this: "Isn't this a good thing?" Although that kid knew a few generals, he might have offended a lot of people, otherwise people wouldn't embarrass him like this. Now that he is a smaller official than others, he still goes to such a dangerous place, maybe he will lose his life at some point, and it will no longer be a big trouble for our family, if he can make some merit before he dies, maybe the court will still reward our Liu family, and then we will set up a tablet for him in the ancestral hall, and then give him a successor and a successor incense lamp, which can be regarded as worthy of him. "My heart moved, if my son marries a daughter-in-law, he can have a few more sons, and he will succeed one to the big house, and they will be more justified in the future, but I don't know if Liu Dongxing can hold on until then, but the eldest grandson can never be sent out, if it really doesn't work, simply pass the two concubines to Liu Dongxing's father, so that they don't have a dazzle in front of their own eyes.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten the fact that Liu Fu was actually a concubine.

Liu Fu said disappreciatively: "Do you think what he does is from the fifth grade, which is worse than the positive fifth grade?" It's okay if it's somewhere else, but in the Jingnan camp, the military attache of the fifth grade is not as good as the five grades."

Liu Gu was stunned when he heard this: "What is the reason for this?" "Is it better for an official to be big than to be small? The same military attaché, the same rank of general, is there anything special about it?

Liu Fu snorted coldly: "It's just in other camps, in the Jingnan camp, the military attache of Wupin has always been to stay in the military tent, either to do paperwork, or to escort military baggage, compared to others, it is much safer, but it is not easy to make any contributions, if there is a delay in baggage, you have to eat and hang up anytime and anywhere, which is the most unflattering errand." But from the five products are different, you can lead an army alone, although there are only 500 people, but whether you defend the city or attack, you can participate. As long as it's not a waste, after a big war, it's easy to make a few small contributions. Even a general from a common people's family can make meritorious contributions when he reaches that position, not to mention that the martial arts of the eastbound are counted among the best in the examination. This appointment, on the surface, seems to be a big loss for him, but in fact, as long as he can survive it, there will be no one to stop him in the future."

Liu Gu was taken aback: "That...... So what to do? Could it be that Dongxing deliberately entrusted people to get himself to that big camp? She thought that if he went, he would definitely die, but she didn't expect him to be cheaper

Liu Fu shook his head: "Although it is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the risk is too great." If it is really Dongxing's own meaning, it is equivalent to taking his own life to fight for this kid who does not have the guts, he is young, he has only taken the Wujinshi exam, divided his family and betrothed, and he still has a lot of good life to live, so he will not take this risk. ”

When Liu Gu heard this, he was a little puzzled: "That...... Who else would that be? When did he recognize some great people? ”

Liu Fu frowned, he remembered that it was mentioned in the secret report that Liu Dongxing's appointment was originally the deputy general of the Jinyang Garrison, but after being sent to the East Palace, he was changed to the general of the Jingnan battalion. But he has also inquired about the powerful people in the capital who have dealings with Liu Dongxing, except for a few generals, there is nothing else, if he can't get some news from the General Administration Department from time to time, he is no different from a child of an ordinary family, and the prince has never crossed paths with him, so how can he take a fancy to him alone? It must have been just an accident......

Liu Fu lowered his head and thought about it, and decided to put the matter on hold for the time being: "If he knows any big guys, where can he hide it from us?" Besides, if he really has a backer, it is easy to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, and he can't take such a big risk. Let's look at it coldly, if he doesn't come back, no matter how much he guesses at this time, it will be just a waste of effort, if he really makes a great achievement, and returns to his hometown-" His eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "It is not so easy to gain a firm foothold in the court, in the past, he was a child who was ignorant, and he only knew that he was angry with us, and when he became famous, he would know the truth that it was difficult to support alone." Without us, he would be isolated in the DPRK, but he would not even be able to live a peaceful life. We are his elders again, raising him to such an age, and letting him have a career, if he has the slightest disrespect for us, he will not be able to pass the Yushi level alone. ”

Liu Gu laughed when he heard this: "The master is really wise, then let's wait for his news with peace of mind." If he can't come back, that's his life, if he comes back, a filial piety is pressed down, and he has to obediently listen to our lessons. Even if the family is separated, he is still a child of the Liu family, and he wants to overwhelm us? Do his spring and autumn dreams, he dares to be disobedient, and call him a thousand people."

Liu Fu smiled slightly, but remembered another thing: "There is something you have to pay attention to, now that Dongxing has obtained an official position, I don't know when I will go to Jingnan Daying to report." Thinking that the military situation in northern Xinjiang is urgent, the holy decree not only said that the army will be drawn next month, but he is also a new official, and it will take time to get familiar with the errand, so there should not be too much leisure. You have to be careful, avoid him, don't let him find a loophole, come to the door to discuss the matter of asking his parents to be ordained. “

Liu Gu was taken aback, and then remembered that according to the imperial court law, officials above the fifth rank were to be sealed, even their great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents' wives. Now that Dongxing has obtained the martial arts position from the fifth grade, if he asks the court for a seal, wouldn't it be to spread his life experience in front of the people in the whole capital? Mrs. Rong's identity as the Yuan match is recognized in the clan, and it is impossible for Liu Dongxing to be fake, and the date of Mrs. Yao's marriage is also known to the whole capital. Now Liu Shangshu's embarrassing background is about to be revealed to the world.

She hurriedly said: "From the fifth grade to the fifth grade, it is still half a level behind, and the eastbound is not qualified, where can I ask for a seal?" ”

Liu Fu sneered: "On weekdays, from the officials of the fifth rank, the imperial court is also sealed. Even if we use the rank as an excuse to block it this time, when he comes back from the north and rises to the fifth rank or above, he will no longer be able to stop it."

Liu Gu gritted his teeth angrily and scolded: "Then he still died in the north, look at his gloomy temperament, he doesn't seem to be a loyal martyr, maybe he will cause some trouble in the north, and it will affect the reputation of the Liu family."

Liu Fu said lightly: "You can't say that, he is not a stupid person, and he is a little cautious, how can he cause trouble for no reason?" With his martial arts, it is not difficult to make a small contribution. ”

Liu Gu pouted: "He is a child, even if he has learned some martial arts, what great skills can he have?" What is Northern Xinjiang? He can embroider his legs with fists, and he will be able to fight? If you still want to make meritorious contributions, beware of giving away your little life" After thinking about it, his expression slowed down a little, "If that's the case, it's not a bad thing." He lost his life by himself, and we can save some trouble, so as not to worry about him all day. Those old men in the clan will not be able to say that we have treated him badly. ”

Liu Fu's brows stretched, although he didn't smile, he smiled a little, lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

Liu Gu paused, and suddenly sighed: "It's just a pity that the nine girls, although they are stubborn, they don't know what to do, after all, they are the daughters of the Gu family." If she can't come back from the east, won't she have to watch over the widow? What a shame."

Liu Fu glanced at his wife: "I never passed through the door, I died in the east, just let her go to another family." Our Liu family will not nod their heads. "He has seen that girl, although her appearance is not very outstanding, but she is also beautiful and dignified, she is still a concubine, relying on the name of the niece of the Shilang Mansion, it is not difficult to find someone, and look at her temperament, she is not a weak person, if there is some creation, the Gu Liu family can also add a capable in-law.

Liu Gu said: "No, our Gu family has always had strict rules, and if the daughter of the marriage is gone, she must keep the festival." The Gu family has no daughter to remarry. But when she thought that this was still the rule set when the long house was in charge, now that the patriarch had been replaced, she was a little unsure, "Just for the sake of the family's reputation, it will be difficult for the nine girls to allow people again." "The second room has always paid attention to etiquette, so it shouldn't be a slap in the mouth, right?

Liu Fu was a little unimpressed. Although they are a famous family, although they have a large population, their children have different qualifications, and they may not all be outstanding, but if there is a good one, they should be carefully raised, and they can arrange a good family affair in the future, which can also add a boost to the family. If it is a married daughter, the husband dies to be widowed, but it is okay, but also to get a chaste reputation, to add glory to the mother's family, but the daughter who is not out of the cabinet is to die, and can not earn back a chastity archway, at most in the countryside reputation is better, a waste of a good candidate for marriage, the gains outweigh the losses. If he were the patriarch of the Gu family, he would never do such a stupid thing. The so-called hundred-year-old wang clan, in fact, there are many unreasonable things in the clan rules.

However, after all, his surname is Liu and not his surname Gu, at most, he is just mocking a few words in his heart, but he will not say in front of his wife that her mother's family rules are not.

He cleared his throat and said, "It's too early to say about this matter, let's see what matters now." How is Brother Ning's marriage prepared? When will your second brother and sister-in-law go to Beijing? You can't miss an auspicious day, right? ”

When Liu Gu heard this, he was a little sneering: "The things to be used at the wedding have only been 30%, and the new house has only started for four or five days, where is it so fast?" The people sent by Jingli to Pingyang to deliver the letter, even if they rode a fast horse, they had only arrived in Pingyang at this time, and the second brother had to prepare for the marriage of five girls...... Sir, do you have to get married in May? It's too rushed, and if it is delayed for a few more days, it will also be made. We just have this one son, the wedding is too hasty......"

"Although Brother Ning is the eldest son, he still has a few younger brothers." Liu Fu interrupted his wife's words, "Besides, that ugly thing is too unbearable, if it drags on any longer, there will be many dreams at night, and I don't know what will happen." It's better to get married early, and it is better to avoid future troubles. Look at his unyielding appearance now, if you don't let him marry his daughter-in-law back quickly, what if he suddenly changes his mind and wants to marry your six nieces? ”

Liu Gu said sneeringly: "Where can I be?" This marriage was nodded by himself, no matter how confused he is, he won't ......" and showed a little uneasiness: "Master, I heard someone in the house talking about it, saying...... said that you are in a hurry to let Brother Ning marry, you want to ......" She secretly glanced at her husband, "I want the five girls to take over the housework after passing the door......"

Liu Fu casually picked up the tea bowl: "Speaking of housework, I think of one thing. A few days ago, I heard outside that your five nieces lived in the Shilang Mansion, and they were too strict in housekeeping, not only often counting down a few sisters, but even the girls of the relatives who lived in them were reprimanded by her, but really? ”

Liu Gu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's just a rumor, the five girls are the most demure and gentle, how can they be a strict person?" ”

"That's for the best." Liu Fu said, "It's okay for the housekeeper to be strict, but the proportion needs to be grasped well, the sisters are not harmonious, and there is inevitably a suspicion of disobedience, counting the guests, and it seems that they don't know the etiquette." You have to say hello to your mother's family, and let your five nieces and nieces get rid of all these bad things while they are still married, so as not to discredit our family in the future. After a pause, he added, "I rehired this daughter-in-law for Brother Ning, just because I took a fancy to her demure and steady temperament, if even this benefit is gone, and if it is passed out, I will have no face."

Liu Gu was busy and repeatedly promised to remind his mother's family, Liu Fu immediately instructed a few words of gossip, and then claimed that he was going to the study to read a book for a while, and got up to leave. Liu Gu watched him go in the direction of Aunt Bai's courtyard, secretly gritted his teeth, and faintly felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember anything.

Wen Yi naturally didn't know about the secret discussion between the husband and wife of the Liu family, she was now sitting in the Shilang Mansion, but she was secretly following the style taught by Li Chunxi, and she was making a personal armor for Liu Dongxing. This was originally the secret method used by Mrs. Li to make a small nail for Mr. Li in the past, using only a small piece of silk wool, and then connecting it with a special stitch method, wearing it closely, which is not only lightweight, but also can reduce a little damage when the knife and gun pierce the body.

Wen Yi spent half a day at Li's house that day, learned the stitching method of sewing, and after coming back, he rushed to make it day and night, and because he was afraid of being discovered, he asked Xiuzhu to guard outside the door every day, and when someone came, he quickly put away the things. I did this for more than half a month, and seeing that it was almost the end of the month, I made a silk armor, two pairs of sturdy shoes, and three sets of civilian clothes. She thought that if she made too many things, it would be inconvenient to send them out, so she specially put a burden on her, and was about to order someone to quietly send it to Yangliver Hutong, but she heard Xiuzhu report in a hurry: "Miss, the second master and the second wife have arrived, and there are ...... And our old lady also came."

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
