Chapter 360: Third Miss
Buried Wu Cheng Hou Lu Sheng with a national ceremony, and the emperor personally inscribed the inscription, and the Lu family was grateful.
In the second year of Yong'an, at the beginning of February, the Lu Mansion had already removed the white silk at the funeral, and the mansion seemed to have been restored to its original state.
Wu Cheng waited for the commander of the Wuwei Army, and the Zhenbei general Lu Feng was neatly dressed under the service of Mrs. Lu's Li, as the commander of the first army, he could only worry at home for three months at most to keep filial piety for his deceased father, and then he still had to go back to the border immediately.
Li Shi looked at her husband and said, "Husband, after so many years, I finally came back once, so I will stay for a few more days." ”
Lu Feng took Li's hand and said: "Madam, the country's social affairs are tied to my body, as a border general of the dynasty, I dare not slack off, when today's son is virtuous, I actually met my father with the gift of a state funeral, I have nothing to repay, I can only promise the country with my body, in order to repay the grace of heaven." ”
Li is also a knowledgeable person, and said: "Husband, the concubine knows these truths, and for the sake of righteousness, give up her small family." ”
Lu Feng said with emotion: "It's good that Madam knows, everything at home will depend on you after I return to Biansai next month." ”
Li nodded slightly.
At this moment, the servant came to report: "General Qiyu Zhenbei, someone has come to the palace." ”
Lu Feng bowed slightly: "Got it, you can step down." Then he dressed up and went to the front yard of the Hou Mansion to receive the angel.
As soon as Lu Feng arrived, he saw Yang Jin, the head of the inner court, waiting here, and he immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "It turns out that it is Yang who is here in person, please come quickly, please enter the inner hall to rest." ”
Yang Jin also greeted the future emperor's father-in-law with a smile, and said politely: "General Zhenbei, you are really polite, our family is just a eunuch who transmits the decree, how can you afford such courtesy from General Zhenbei." ”
Of course, Lu Feng knew that there were still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention the people around the emperor, so he still invited very politely: "Mr. Yang, you look at what you said, you are a distinguished guest of our Lu family, so you naturally deserve it." ”
Yang Jin didn't say anything, he was still very useful in his heart, as the head of the court, the palace naturally had to look at the emperor's face, once he went out of the palace to run errands, no matter how big the officials of the court and the opposition were, they had to give him Yang someone a few thin noodles, it was simply under one person, above ten million people, which felt quite cool.
The two of them blew each other in business and entered the inner hall.
Lu Feng asked, "Why did Manager Yang come here today?" ”
Yang Jin said: "Our family is going to congratulate General Zhenbei." He waved his hand, and a fellow monk handed the letter of appointment to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng took the letter of appointment and looked at it, he was secretly happy in his heart, and still pretended to know and asked, "Manager Yang, does Your Majesty really want to let the little girl enter the palace to wait?" ”
Yang Jin smiled and said: "This is natural, otherwise would our family personally visit you General Zhenbei?" ”
Lu Feng said with a smile: "Oh, Manager Yang, if the little girl can enter the palace to serve the saint, it is really a blessing that our Lu family has cultivated for several generations." ”
Yang Jin also smiled and agreed: "The general really raised a good daughter, and His Majesty fell in love with the third lady at a glance at that time......
In the living room, the two guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Lu Feng naturally had to "respect" Yang Jin, the red man next to the emperor, and talked for a while, Yang Jin saw that the matter had been done, so he got up and said goodbye: "General, since the letter of appointment has arrived, our family can be regarded as having completed the holy order, and our family will first return to the palace to resume their lives, and when the palace has set a good day and auspicious day, he will send a messenger to welcome the third lady into the palace." ”
Lu Feng said politely: "Manager Yang, you are also in a hurry and have not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, how long is the chief manager?" ”
Yang Jin waved his hand again and again and said politely: "Oh, Lord Guozhang, you are really polite, let's talk about it later, our family has to hurry back to the palace to resume life." ”
When Lu Feng heard Yang Jin change his mouth and call him Guozhang, he was full of smiles and said, "Manager Yang, go slowly." ”
After that, he immediately got up and personally sent Yang Jin out of the house, he turned around and went back to the house to think about it, and was happy in his heart, his little careful thinking was finally not in vain, he was going to be the head of the country, if the little girl got the emperor's favor, the Lu family's wealth would be much more secure in the future.
Lu Feng immediately entered the inner hall and told the Li family the good news of Min'er's entry into the palace.
When Li Shi heard this, his face was unbearable, and he said: "Husband, Min'er, she is your biological daughter, how can you bear to let her enter the palace?" ”
Lu Feng sighed and comforted the Li family: "Alas, since ancient times, the palace gate is as deep as the sea, do you think I don't feel sorry for my daughter?" You don't understand, the situation is changing in this court, if our Lu family wants to prosper for a long time, there must be a family member in the palace, Min'er has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and she can only be her in the show. ”
Li still complained: "Husband, she is your daughter-in-law, can't you let Zhao Erniang's daughter enter the palace for her?" ”
This Zhao Erniang is Lu Sheng's concubine, and Lu Sheng also knew that the Li family was a little unable to accept his arrangement, so he had to persuade him with kind words: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about, if you want to marry the royal family, how can you send your concubine into the palace?" This is deliberately causing trouble for our Lu family, besides, the Zhao family is only seven years old, what are you sending her to the palace for? Let Your Majesty give us the Lu family a child? Confused. ”
Lu Feng complained for a while, and the Li family sneered.
Lu Feng said: "Madam, you are not in the court, you don't know, my position as the commander of the Armed Guards as the general of Zhenbei is almost equivalent to picking up for nothing, when Huo Taishi was in charge of the court, and the case of An Guojun's son Xiu's involvement in the abolition of the prince was widely implicated, originally the commander of the Armed Guards was General Wucheng Hou Yang Yanyang, and I Lu was just a deputy general under him." I didn't think about it, but it was only a few years of hard work, the situation in the court changed abruptly, and the entire Yang family declined, at that time, Huo Taishi handed over the post of commander of the Wuwei Army to me in order to win over our old man, and now that the old man is gone, no one in our Lu family will speak in front of His Majesty in the court, such an important position as the commander of the Wuwei Army, do you think His Majesty will still be in charge of our Lu family today? ”
Li Shi was puzzled: "Husband, wasn't the first emperor still reigning at that time?" How could it still be decided by Master Huo? ”
Lu Feng knew that he had leaked his mouth, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly made up for it: "Maybe the first emperor was terminally ill at that time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to manage the government normally, but fortunately, His Majesty is virtuous today, and his favor to my Lu family is still undiminished, even so, the husband is still not at ease, as long as there are people in the palace, our Lu family will be stable." ”
Fortunately, the Li family didn't delve into it, and nodded again and again: "I listened to you, it's all for the Lu family, and now that the palace has issued a letter of appointment, the wood has been completed, what else can I do?" I hope Min'er will be fine after entering the palace. ”
Lu Feng said: "Madam, you go, tell Min'er the good news, let her prepare to enter the palace." ”
Li Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, okay." ”
Li went to his daughter's boudoir and saw Lu Min leaning against the window and looking at the fallen leaves in the autumn breeze outside the house in a daze.
Seeing that his mother had arrived, Lu Min hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Mother." ”
Li Shi said with a solemn face: "Min'er, mother has something to tell you. ”
Lu Min was a little confused, and said, "Mother, please speak." ”
Li was even more reluctant to see her daughter so well-behaved, but the child was already old and had to get married sooner or later, so she still said: "Min'er, you are not a big boss now, it's time to make a good family." ”
Lu Min's heart trembled when she heard this, she knew the fate of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, she had no right to speak about her life events, and everything was arranged by her parents.
She was terrified in her heart, and asked cautiously, "Mother, which good boy is it?" ”
Li handed her the letter of appointment and said, "Today, at the end of the month, the palace will send someone to bring you into the palace." ”
When Lu Min heard this, she was a little stunned, she couldn't help but think of the picture when she first met the high-flying young man, that handsome face, noble bearing, and eloquent words, he seemed to be a fairy-like character in a painting.
Lu Min grew up in the mansion since she was a child, and she had never seen a man outside the mansion, but when she first saw the Son of Heaven, for some reason, she only dared to sneak a few glances and hurriedly lowered her eyes and waited with trembling care. At that time, her heart seemed to be like a deer, she didn't know what it felt, but she felt that it was a great blessing to look at the young man a few more times, but she didn't expect that she was going to marry him, everything came so suddenly, so dreamy and unreal.
At this time, the Li family still said with a look of regret: "Min'er, don't blame your mother for sending you into the palace, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and our Lu family will look at you in the future." ”
Lu Min lowered her head, her face was slightly red, after she knew the news, there was only an indescribable joy in her heart, and suddenly the panic in her heart had long since disappeared.
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Li mistakenly thought that her daughter was panicked, so she stepped forward and grabbed her daughter's hand, told her carefully, and kept comforting her to protect herself after entering the palace.
And Lu Min's mind had already passed through the high palace wall and placed on the beautiful woman who seemed to be seeing her for the first time, and she only hoped to enter the palace as soon as possible to serve the Son of Heaven.
