257 [Linglong]
Baotai Mountain?
Lu Shen seemed to have returned to the Lu Mansion in Lai'ancheng, and the woman sitting opposite became Wang Chulong, because she had asked almost the same question.
It's a very interesting thing.
Whether it is Wang Chulong or Li Bingxue, they are all extremely excellent women with their own strengths, and with the support of their prominent family backgrounds, they can be regarded as the best women in this era.
Compared with them, Lin Xi's own conditions are not bad in all aspects, but in the final analysis, she is only the daughter of a green forest tycoon, and compared with the status of Zhai Lin Wang or the governor of Jingzhou, at least in the eyes of most people in the world, she is much inferior.
However, they didn't mean to despise Lin Xi when they mentioned it, but they paid special attention to the story of Lin Xi and Lu Shen, which shows that these women in the show of wisdom know very well in their hearts that the position next to Lu Shen in the future will be none other than Lin Xi.
Specifically, Wang Chulong and Li Bingxue have some differences.
Because Zhai Lin Wang's family has a request for others, and Wang Chulong took the initiative to come south to Lu Shen's side, so she was naturally a little short of breath when talking about Lin Xi, and vaguely expressed that she had no intention of fighting with Lin Xi, but just hoped that they could live in harmony in the future.
Li Bingxue didn't have too many concerns, as she said in Baimadu, her liking Lu Shen doesn't mean that she wants to be an infatuated man and a woman, it's nothing more than going one side of the road. As a result, she could now ask very calmly, and it was obvious that curiosity had prevailed.
"It's a long story."
After sorting out the details, Lu Shen said gently.
Li Bingxue got up to help him add tea, blinked and said, "It's okay today, you can talk slowly." ”
Despite this, it was impossible for Lu Shen to go in detail from beginning to end, he only briefly explained the reason and process of going to Baotai Mountain, and finally passed over the matter of his marriage with Lin Xi.
"That's good."
After Li Bingxue listened, she whispered two words, and then as if she was explaining or emphasizing, she said in an accentuated tone: "It's good that a lover will eventually become a family." ”
Lu Shen probably understood her complicated mood at the moment, but he was not the kind of boy who was good at rhetoric, and he didn't want to be hypocritical in front of the clear-minded Li Bingxue, so he could only smile faintly and said, "Thank you." ”
Li Bingxue asked again, "When do you plan to get married?" ”
Lu Shen looked at her sparkling eyes and said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, I planned to end the Northern Expedition, our army would recover Dongyang Road, and then let my senior sister marry Huaizhou openly, but something happened in it, which led to the possibility of re-planning now." ”
"Huh?"
Li Bingxue was slightly stunned.
With her understanding of Lu Shen, he is by no means the kind of weak temperament that can shake his mind with external objects, unless the progress of the war is not smooth and he is confined to objective conditions.
Now the Huaizhou army has won consecutive battles, and yesterday it annihilated the main force of the Jing army, and the next can be described as a smooth road, and the recovery of Dongyang Road is just around the corner.
After completing the goal of the third phase of the Northern Expedition, who else can hinder the marriage of Lu Shen and Lin Xi?
With Lu Shen's merits in the Northern Expedition, Xiao Wangzhi's respect for him, and the Son of Heaven's appreciation of him, Li Bingxue didn't know who could destroy Lu Shen's lifelong event in the Huaizhou realm.
Thinking of this, she asked puzzledly, "Could it be that Miss Lin is in the way?" ”
Lu Shen shook his head and said, "It's my problem." ”
After hearing this, Li Bingxue looked at him suspiciously, and said slowly: "Lu Shen, don't tell me, don't empathize with me and have a new love?" If that's the case, even if Miss Lin doesn't want to pursue it, I will definitely find trouble for you for her. ”
"Of course not."
Lu Shen hurriedly denied it, he naturally trusted Li Bingxue very much, so he didn't deliberately hide it, and explained: "When I returned from Baotai Mountain, the Zhai Lin Wang clan sent someone to find Governor Xiao Dadu, and frankly said that he hoped to become the internal response of our border army. If the Son of Heaven and the Governor of Xiao were willing to accept the Wang family, they would provide a lot of information to the border army, as well as some assistance within their ability. ”
"That's a good thing."
Li Bingxue is not a deep lady who does not leave the door, her understanding of the border situation is not weaker than Lu Shen, and she also knows the influence of the Zhai Lin Wang clan in Beiyan now.
Looking at the strange look on Lu Shen's face, a bright light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said in surprise: "Could it be that the Wang family wants to marry your Lu family?" ”
Lu Shen nodded and said, "Yes." Wang An, the head of the Wang family, is now the pseudo-prime minister of Yan, and he wants to marry his nephew, Queen Chulong, to me. Of course, I knew the benefits of this matter, but I didn't want Wang An to take it lightly, so I asked them to show sincerity first, assist the Huaizhou border army to recover Dongyang Road, and then talk about marriage at that time. Unexpectedly, that Miss Wang took the initiative to go south, and now she lives in my family's house in Lai'an City. ”
Li Bingxue couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Lu Shen asked, "Why is Miss Li laughing?" ”
Li Bingxue said leisurely: "To be honest, this Wang girl is very smart, and she is worthy of being a famous concubine taught by a family like Zhai Lin Wang. In that case, her decision was the right thing to do. Although it is the right way for you to take care of the Wang family, they are also worried that you will turn your face and deny people afterwards, and there is nothing more suitable than raw rice cooked and matured. ”
"Raw rice cooked rice ......"
Lu Shen pondered this sentence, and finally figured out the doubts that Wang Chulong had been in his heart since he arrived in Lai'an.
Li Bingxue continued: "The daughter of the Wang family lives in your Lu family's house, although you didn't give her any guarantee of status, but for a lady, it is no longer famous, if you don't marry her in the future, where will she have a chance to marry?" The question is, are you that kind of person? Can you watch her green lantern ancient Buddha accompany her for a lifetime? ”
Lu Shen was stunned.
Li Bingxue sighed with emotion: "You can't do it, so you will definitely marry her, so what does it matter if you give her a name or not?" I have not met this Miss Wang, but I can conclude that she is extremely familiar with your temperament, and knows that you, a nouveau riche in the army, are gentle and pure, and by no means the kind of man who is unkind, so she dares to make up her mind. ”
Lu Shen's name came to mind of Wang Jun, and at the beginning of their acquaintance in Xunyang City, he had mentioned that Wang Chulong had studied the Battle of Guangling. In other words, when Lu Shen had never heard the name Wang Chulong at all, she had gradually become familiar with his life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "It turns out that you know myself better than me. ”
"Recognizing yourself is the most difficult thing, and the so-called authorities are just confused."
Li Bingxue smiled and continued: "If I guessed correctly, Miss Wang must have been cautious everywhere after she went south, and she cared for you very much, but she never mentioned marriage and fame? ”
Lu Shen nodded in acknowledgement.
Li Bingxue said: "What a smart girl." ”
In fact, Lu Shen is a little confused about her mentality now, according to her previous understanding of Li Bingxue, she has always been straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush, especially hates that kind of person with deep thoughts.
But judging from her attitude towards Wang Chulong, she doesn't seem to mind Wang Chulong's approach at all, on the contrary, her words are full of praise.
Hearing Lu Shen's question, Li Bingxue said calmly: "I appreciate Wang Chulong's courage and determination, and I can also understand her difficulties and difficulties. Although she comes from a famous family, do you think she has the right to choose? Throughout the ages, I don't know how many princesses have been forced to marry wicked people due to the needs of the heavenly family, and they have a miserable life. Even if she doesn't marry you, Wang Chulong's fate is nothing more than to meet the needs of family marriage, and God knows what kind of person she will be with for the rest of her life. ”
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Besides, she is knowledgeable and gentle and considerate, and she is obedient to you in every way, are you still dissatisfied?" ”
"Of course not."
Lu Shen shook his head and sighed, "I'm just thinking about how to properly resolve this matter. ”
"It's stupid."
Li Bingxue glanced at him, and then said with a relaxed expression: "What's so difficult about this matter?" With your current status in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and your contribution to the Northern Expedition, it is not easy to ask for a holy decree of marriage? I know you don't want to owe Miss Lin, so let the Son of Heaven indicate Miss Lin's status in the holy decree, and then let Miss Wang marry you in the name of a flat wife, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Lu Shen suddenly brightened up and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Li for your advice, which made me suddenly open." ”
Li Bingxue said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, if you want to do this, then your marriage with Miss Lin will have to be postponed for a while." Think about it, now that the Zhai Lin Wang clan is still in the territory of Pseudo-Yan, it is impossible to marry the daughter of this sect to you in a grand manner. It's just that in this way, you have to work hard to recover the old capital as soon as possible, or find a way to let the Zhai Lin Wang clan move south to Huaizhou. ”
Lu Shen had already planned about this matter, first of all, he would ask Lin Xi's consent, but it was really impossible to let Wang Chulong marry as Wang Shao's daughter.
He gathered his mind, stared at Li Bingxue's eyes, and said with a complicated expression: "Actually, what surprised me the most was that you were willing to help me with advice on these matters. ”
"Lu Shen, you don't want to mention which pot you don't open."
Li Bingxue was a little helpless, but she was not angry, and said slowly: "You want to say that the relationship between us has not been sorted out yet, and I actually have the intention to help you marry one more lady, which seems to be too much." The crux of the matter is that it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to marry you and me, he cannot accept your influence across the two major prefectures, and my father cannot agree to me to be your concubine, so are you willing to give up the Lin and Wang thrones for me? ”
Without waiting for Lu Shen to answer, Li Bingxue said bluntly: "If you are really willing to do this, I will leave you, because I can't marry a man who has been abandoned from the beginning." ”
Lu Shen looked at her quietly and did not interrupt her narration.
Li Bingxue calmly met his gaze and said softly: "You have your persistence, I have my life, maybe for you and me, the best way to get along is to talk about the present, regardless of the future." ”
This should be the final answer she has come up with in the past year.
The last sentence put her crystal clear heart in front of Lu Shen, so he said gently: "Okay." ”
