Chapter 464: Gossip
Lu Shuang led Li Shen and his family to the living room and served tea, and now the Lu Mansion can be regarded as having some money, so even the subordinates have a few more.
However, Lu Shuang is cautious, always looking ahead and backward, he is too timid, he doesn't dare to go out and spend more money if he has money.
"Lady, you and your mother-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time, go and talk about it, I'll chat with your father-in-law here and wait for you."
Li Shen said very understandingly.
"Thank you, Lang-kun." Lu Dingniang said gratefully, and then followed Zheng to the back hall.
After Lu Dingniang left, Weng and his son-in-law looked a little embarrassed, Li Shen didn't know how to chat with his father-in-law, and the identities of him and Lu Shuang were very different.
The vision is naturally different,
"The prince drinks tea, and this tea is still the tribute tea sent by Dingniang." Lu Shuang broke the deadlock, although he was Li Shenzhang, he was still very restrained.
He wanted to alleviate the embarrassment and said it casually, but after saying it, he regretted it a little, and his daughter went to her mother's house to get something, which made the prince know that it was time to be angry.
Lu Shuang looked at Li Shen's face cautiously, and after Li Shen listened to Lu Shuang's words, his face did not change, he kept smiling, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Well, it's tribute tea, don't be reluctant to do it, if you don't have it, you will send someone to the palace to inform you, and let Dingniang send some to your father-in-law.
Oh, there are still two cans on the carriage this time, and the father-in-law will put them away and store them in a while, so as not to get damp. ”
Seeing that Li Shen was not angry, Lu Shuang's hanging heart finally let go.
Li Shen thought about it, it's not a thing to be so embarrassed all the time, Lu Dingniang didn't know how long to talk about, so she casually found a topic and asked:
"My father-in-law is doing well in the military department, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Back to the prince, there is nothing difficult for the minister to do in the military department, and he has been doing it for four years, so he is more familiar with it." Lu Shuang replied.
He is just a man in the military department, his official position is not high, and he belongs to the kind of errand errands.
In the past, I may have encountered some difficulties, such as going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for things, or asking for money, but people have not given a good face.
But since his daughter became Princess Ji, the situation has changed, no matter where it goes, everyone will give some face,
The attitude is also very good, everyone knows that this is King Ji's father-in-law, and no one who offends King Ji has no good fruit to eat.
The six parts have been spread all over, and King Ji is a man who dares to do it against His Majesty.
"Zhangren, the five-year period should be almost up, if you want to change to a good place, this king can help operate one or two.
Don't know if you have an idea? ”
As an official, it is pure nonsense if you don't want to be promoted, Lu Shuang is in the military department, and from the fifth grade, he is only half a step away from the fifth grade.
The fifth grade is a watershed, and the five-grade official is required by His Majesty's royal approval, but he has worked diligently for more than four years, how can he go to the fifth grade this time.
"Thank you for your kindness, however, the minister should be able to rise to the bottom of the fifth grade this time, let the prince operate, and the minister is afraid that he will be caught by someone with a heart, which is not good for the prince."
What Lu Shuang said is not wrong, Li Shen has no power in the court, and he has offended people, if he goes through the back door,
It is likely to be targeted by the imperial history.
"Under the five pins?" When Li Shen heard the fifth grade, he frowned, he was promoted to half a level after five years, is it a little too slow?
"The current official book seems to be Ma Zhou, right?" Li Shen asked.
"It's Ma Shangshu." Lu Shuang returned,
Ma Zhou is a celebrity, Li Shen had heard of his name in his previous life, but it seems that he died very early in the end, and he doesn't know when he will be.
According to the historical trajectory, Li Zhi should be in power at this time, and Li Shimin's health should not be very good now.
However, Li Shen's unexpected factor caused Li Chengqian to continue to be in power, and Li Shimin did not have so many sad things, and now he is idle, slowly recuperating, and there is no problem with his body at all.
Li Shimin also assigned all the important ministers to Li Chengqian, what princes, princes, masters, and the like are all powerful figures, among which Ma Zhou is one of them.
"By the way, who is the current secretary of the military department?" Li Shen asked again.
He, the prince, didn't care about the affairs of the court at all.
"Chen Guogong has been reinstated."
"Chen Guogong? You mean Hou Junji? Li Shen was a little surprised.
"Exactly." Lu Shuang replied.
"Hehe, that's interesting." Li Shen said with a smile, he didn't expect him to change Li Chengqian, but let Hou Junji also live.
Li Shen chatted with Lu Shuang like this,
And the Zheng family in the back house is also chatting with Lu Dingniang, her daughter has not come back for a few months, how can she not miss her mother.
Fortunately, the distance is relatively close, and if you marry far away, it will not be enough to wash your face with tears.
"Dingniang, don't you and the prince have a round house yet?" As a mother, this kind of thing is the most concerned, after all, whether the daughter can gain a long-term foothold in the palace depends on whether she can leave an heir.
The people all have this idea, but the Zheng family didn't think that Lu Dingniang's princess was personally sealed by Li Shimin, how could it be said that there was no one,
Even if Li Shen wants to change to a princess, he doesn't have this right.
"The prince said, waiting, saying that I am not suitable now." Lu Dingniang replied shyly.
"Dingniang, you are fifteen years old after Yuan Zhenghou, I heard that King Ji's side wife will give birth next year, if you don't give birth to a boy and a girl,
Mother is afraid that your position in the palace will be unstable. Zheng said bitterly.
"Mother rest assured, her daughter's princess is personally sealed by His Majesty, and no one can replace her, and the prince has always been very good to her daughter.
Now the daughter is managing the big and small affairs of the palace, and the prince never interferes. ”
Lu Dingniang comforted her mother.
"Alas, my mother is afraid that someone will gossip when the time comes, and besides, the royal family is no better than ordinary people, and blood inheritance is particularly important.
If you haven't continued your bloodline for the royal family for a few years, your mother is afraid that the royal family will send someone to find you. ”
Zheng is still a little worried.
"The prince has already told His Majesty and the queen about this matter, and the clan should not come to find his daughter. And Mei Niang's child is also my child. ”
Zheng nodded, indeed, Wu Meiniang's child can only be called Lu Dingniang's mother when she is born.
This is the etiquette of this era.
After that, the mother and daughter chatted about some gossip, and Zheng taught some secrets in the boudoir.
Lu Dingniang also asked about some ways to govern the family, but Zheng's method has no effect on Lu Dingniang today.
Any courtyard in King Ji's Mansion is larger than the Lu Mansion, and there are more than 200 people and hundreds of guards.
The Zheng family only manages the Lu Mansion, so how can they know how to manage the royal mansion.
Even Lu Dingniang didn't dare to tell Zheng how much money was in the treasury of the Ji Wangfu, she was afraid that the Zheng family would be too surprised after hearing it.
Lu Dingniang also knew that her mother would never imagine how luxurious and rich the palace was, and how much Li Shen was a loser.
Poverty limited her imagination.
