Chapter 126: Departure
Mrs. He fell silent when she heard this.
She actually knew in her heart that what Chu Lian said was right, but she just didn't want to believe it.
Chu Lian didn't want to force her to make a decision, so she said softly: "Grandmother, when the eldest brother comes, let's discuss it with the eldest brother." ”
Mrs. He nodded with a heavy face.
He Changqi rushed back to the mansion half an hour later, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he hurriedly came to Qinghui Hall.
He Changqi looked up and saw that Chu Lian was also there, and he was a little surprised.
Mrs. He pointed to the chair beside her, "Sit down and rest first." ”
Mu Xiang served tea to He Changqi, He Changqi only drank half a cup and couldn't wait, he put down the tea cup and said with a solemn face: "Grandmother, it's better for your grandson to beg the emperor, let the emperor allow your grandson to go to the north!"
Mrs. He is a heroine among women, and she has experienced strong winds and waves when she was young, and she has a clear mind during the time she is waiting for He Changqi.
San Lang's daughter-in-law is right, Da Lang can't leave the capital, and he can only ask San Lang's daughter-in-law for this trip to the north.
After listening to He Dalang's words, Mrs. He shook his head, "Dalang, you know the situation of our He family, the emperor will not allow you to leave Beijing, but our He family will not watch San Lang fall into danger in the north." The old body has already decided, and this time he will let Saburo's daughter-in-law go to the north. ”
"What!"
He Changqi let out a surprised voice in disbelief, and when he found that his emotions were too leaking, he coughed awkwardly, and glanced at Chu Lian, who was sitting beside Old Taijun He, suspiciously.
"Grandmother, this is not appropriate, the third brother and sister are only fifteen years old, and they are the daughter's family, how can they go to a bitter cold place like the north, what if something happens!"
Old Taijun He's face turned pale, "What's wrong with the woman? What's wrong with fifteen years old? Lian'er can make Guilin Ju fire all over Shengjing City at the age of fifteen, can you? Besides, when the old man went to southern Xinjiang with your grandfather when he was young, he was only sixteen years old. Don't worry, of course we can't just go, everything must be fully prepared, and when I mobilize the secret guards in the house to follow Lian'er, she will be fine!"
Although He Changqi is big, he looks like an iron-clad general, but in fact, his mind is the most delicate.
Seeing that my grandmother was so firm in speaking, I had already guessed that my grandmother had already made a decision in her heart about this matter.
He also knew that he couldn't leave the capital easily, but when he looked at the delicate and slender third brother and sister like flowers and bones, he sighed in his heart, can such a delicate girl really take on a big responsibility?
Go to the north to rescue San Lang, and when it is important, you have to gather the forces in your hands to rescue San Lang, this is not as easy as opening a restaurant and cooking a few dishes!
He Changqi sighed in his heart, only hating that he hadn't found out that He Saburo was going to the north, and if he knew, he should have stopped him on the spot.
"Now that the grandmother has made a decision, the grandson has nothing to say, but the grandson has a request. ”
"Tell me about it!"
"If the third brother and sister can't be ordered to be in danger, the grandson's people will make their own decisions. ”
Hearing He Changqi's words, Chu Lian paused, and his eyes blinked at this eldest brother of the He Mansion.
In fact, to put it bluntly, He Changqi just doesn't believe in her ability, but this is normal. Although He Changqi did not go well in marriage, he was actually a very responsible and careful person, if it weren't for the identity of the eldest son of Jing'an Bofu to bind him, he would definitely become a wise general in the army.
Old Taijun He glanced at Chu Lian and saw that she was not angry or angry because of He Changqi's words, so she was relieved. Although Mrs. He didn't say it, she also thought about the possibility that He Changqi said in her heart.
Seeing Chu Lian's calm expression, Mrs. He suddenly had more confidence in this delicate little granddaughter-in-law.
"The eldest brother's request is due, if I can't help my husband, naturally I can't delay others to rescue me, after all, my husband's safety is the most important. ”
He Changqi didn't expect Chu Lian to be so calm and polite, if he were a little daughter-in-law of this age from another family, she would have cried in her yard a long time ago, where would she have thought that she would personally go out to rescue her husband? He Changqi was slightly stunned, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Most of the next arrangements are the affairs of Mrs. He and He Changqi.
Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. He handed over the sign and went into the palace to ask to see the old lady.
Within two days, the Empress Dowager's decree came down, and asked the Jinyi Township Monarch to bring the cotton clothes and quilts collected in each household to reward the soldiers in the bitter cold land in the north.
In fact, this is just a reason for Mrs. He to ask the Queen Mother, where is there really any military funds raised, it is just some pretense prepared by Jing'an Bofu itself.
He Changqi had already notified him from the Jin Palace, and the King of Jin asked someone to send a letter, saying that he would also send someone to the palace then.
The most surprising thing is that Princess Wei didn't know where to get the news, and actually brought the county lord of Duanjia to Jing'anbo Mansion to visit Chu Lian in person.
Not to mention Chu Lian, even Mrs. He was surprised.
The county lord of Duanjia pulled Chu Lian to persuade her vigorously and didn't want her to go to the north.
The two were talking inside, and Mrs. He accompanied Princess Wei in the outer flower hall.
"Chu Liu, you are stupid! Are you really going to Liangzhou? I heard my eldest brother say that he can't stretch out his hands in winter!"
Chu Lian looked at the Duanjia County Lord's tightly furrowed brows, and his eyes were full of worry.
Chu Lian laughed, "County Lord, the old lady has already begged the Queen Mother, I must go." ”
The county lord of Duanjia immediately stood up angrily, "How can that old woman force you, you said, as long as you don't want to go, this county lord will go and ask the queen mother grandmother now!"
Chu Lian hurriedly pulled the excited Duanjia County Lord to sit down, she shook the Duanjia County Lord's arm, "County Lord, it's not like this, I'm going to go by myself." ”
"You!Chu Liu!I think you're going to be angry with me!" Duanjia's chest rose and fell, and finally turned his head away and didn't want to pay attention to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian was helpless, so he had to patiently explain to her: "County Lord, He Saburo is in distress in the north, the mansion cannot sit idly by, the eldest brother can't leave the capital, and the second brother is in Lincheng to run the imperial mission, and the only one in the entire mansion can go! ”
The county lord of Duanjia rolled his eyes without giving face, "Chu Liu, you don't even have three-legged cat kung fu, what can you do if you go!"
Chu Lian didn't hide it in front of the Duanjia County Lord, and said bluntly: "Actually, I don't know what I can do, but if I don't go over, if something really happens to He Saburo, I will be uneasy." "Looking at the arrangements of Mrs. He and her eldest brother He Changqi, they didn't expect much from her to do anything, she took people to the north just to give the He family the reason to rescue He Sanlang.
The county lord of Duanjia knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he stomped his feet hard, and finally said dissatisfiedly: "What did that He Sanlang do in his last life to save the country, and he can marry a good daughter-in-law like you! If I can get to know you earlier, I will let my brother marry you, and you will be my sister-in-law!"
Chu Lian listened to Duanjia's words, and his forehead twitched violently, Duanjia County Lord really dared to say anything.
"County Lord!"
"Why, I said He Sanlang, you are not happy, you are a wreck, and you won't let me say it, you see, your title has nothing to do with him!"
The mouth of the Duanjia County Lord is sometimes poisonous, which can really make the dead angry.
Fortunately, He Changdi is not around, otherwise I don't know what will happen!
Seeing that Chu Lian lowered his head to drink honey and didn't speak, the county lord of Duanjia suddenly gasped, approached Chu Lian and said, "Chu Liu, you won't really like He Sanlang, right?"
Chu Lian was really speechless, he didn't understand why Lord Duanjia's thinking jumped so much, and suddenly asked about the relationship between their husband and wife.
Seeing that Chu Lian just looked up at her with a blink, the county lord of Duanjia was anxious, "Chu Liu, why are you so uncompetitive, you are really muddy! That stinky man left you behind on three days of his wedding with you, and you actually wanted to go to the north to help him survive the danger, if it were me, I would care if he lived or died! It was best if he died, and the county lord could still remarry!"
Chu Lian had just drunk the honey in his mouth, and almost squirted out of his mouth because of the shocking remarks of the Duanjia County Lord.
Chu Lian did not avoid the complaint of the county lord of Duanjia, she said bluntly: "This time I went to the northern border, I am not entirely for He Sanlang, but more for Jing'anbo Mansion, after all, now I am the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion first. Only when Jing'anbo's Mansion is good, can I get better. ”
The county lord of Duanjia listened to Chu Lian's words, and then fell silent.
She no longer made a lot of noise to refute Chu Lian, and was silent for a moment, before the Duanjia County Lord raised his head and looked at Chu Lian, "Chu Liu, you must be careful when you go to the north, I will go and beg my father and let him send a few guards to protect you!"
Chu Lian laughed, "County Lord, it's not as dangerous as you think, and I don't go to the barracks, how can something happen, at most I will stay in Liangzhou City." By the way, didn't you say you wanted to eat hot pot a while ago? How about we take this opportunity to have a hot pot together?"
Although saliva was already secreted uncontrollably in his mouth, the county lord of Duanjia still glanced at Chu Lian and complained: "Chu Liu, at this time, you still want to eat!"
Chu Lian laughed out loud, "So, the county lord doesn't want to eat hot pot anymore?" ”
Chu Lian got up and was about to go out to command, but was pulled by the sleeve of the Duanjia County Lord, "Chu...... Chu Liu, since you want to eat hot pot so much, then the county lord will reluctantly accompany you to eat. ”
Chu Lian covered his mouth and glanced at the county lord of Duanjia.
Sure enough, as soon as the food was mentioned, Duanjia's attention was diverted, and after a while, she began to ask, how is the hot pot made, can you really put all kinds of food in it and cook it together, is it still so delicious?
After the meal, Princess Wei pulled Chu Lian to give some advice, and in the afternoon, she took the county lord of Duanjia back to the Wei Mansion in a low-key manner.
The form of the northern border is changing rapidly, so the people of Jing'an Bo Mansion did not dare to delay at all, and soon set a date for Chu Lian to go to the northern border.
Unfortunately, that day was the day when Xiao Bojian held a thank-you banquet in the British Mansion.
