A lucky wife born again from a farm family

A group of people gathered in the county man's house and talked about many past events. They also talked about the time when Lu Bai lost a bet and stood at the yamen gate and shouted, "My family is a small vendor."

Lu Bai smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Brother Jin'an. If he hadn't done this for me, I would never have been able to become enlightened in my life...Brother Jin'an, you are my husband."

He stood up and saluted Gu Jinan.

Gu Jinan hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, and said: "Don't make fun of me. I went too far in that matter back then. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to bear it and would commit suicide."

"To cure stubborn diseases, you need to use strong medicine." Lu Bai didn't mind, and said: "Look how powerful I am after you cure me. I dared to file a complaint when I first arrived in the capital."

Speaking of the complaint, Yan Xiaowu thought of how Lu Bai was almost beaten to death by the Imperial Guards, and was still frightened. He instead talked about the child, praising him and Ouyang Yu's daughter, not hiding that he was a father for the first time. of joy.

Then he asked Lu Bai: "We are both fathers. When will we get married? We need to get married and have children as soon as possible so that our children can play together. If the age difference is too big, we won't be able to play together."

But Lu Bai said: "I like to travel everywhere now, and I will go to the Northeast after the year. I am not in a hurry to start a family."

"How old are you and you're not in a hurry? Your family has urged you countless times." Yan Xiaowu was anxious for him.

Lu Bai smiled. Yan Xiaowu was from a good family. Even after the dynasties changed, he still retained some innocence. He replied to Yan Xiaowu: "My brothers have all given birth to children, and my parents have several grandchildren to accompany them. It is enough." ”

Gu Jinan heard the overtone, thought about it, and finally advised: "Those are your brothers' children too. If you have children, your parents will be happier."

Lu Bai did not answer, but talked about Yao Youqian: "Old Yao has done well in the northwest. He has been promoted in the past few years, and will be officially promoted to prefect in the next year. We have to worry about what gifts to give him."

Gu Jinan: "I don't have to worry, their whole family likes to eat seafood, I can just give them dry seafood."

Qi Kangming and Gu Dexing also said, "We also send dry and sea goods."

Brother Cheng gave each of them a lot of dry and seafood goods to give away, which was both decent and trouble-free.

Lu Bai was disgusted: "You guys are really lazy..."

Because they were still in the period of mourning, they gathered for an hour and then dispersed... Gu Jinan waited for the others to leave before he stood up and asked Lu Bai, "Have you made up your mind?"

Lu Bai nodded: "Yes. I hesitated before coming to the capital. I was afraid that I would be incompetent and would ruin the big thing. It can be seen that when I saw the funeral of Old Duke Cheng and thought of his life, I made up my mind."

Gu Jinan still couldn't bear it: "If you leave after the next year, you still have a chance to change your mind, so you don't have to make a decision in such a hurry."

Lu Bai said, "If I don't change, that's the path I want to take."

He said to Gu Jinan: "Before I met you, I could only study hard and never thought about relying on knowledge to earn money to support my family; before I came to the capital, I never thought that I would dare to file a lawsuit against the imperial court, and even file a lawsuit. I won; before I patrolled various places on behalf of the Emperor, I never knew that our Chu Wei was so vast; before I fought against Xizuo, and before Master Zhong Huan taught me, I never knew that the Chu Wei was so vast. In addition, there are so many countries and city-states..."

"Brother Ang, I am like a bird that keeps breaking out of its shell. Every time I break out of the shell, I can see a different world. Now that I have the opportunity to fly, I want to seize this opportunity to see a wider world. The world, even if it falls on the way, I will not regret it.”

Then he smiled and said: "However, Master Zhong Huan said that I am determined to die and will not die easily, so don't worry."

Gu Jinan was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the young man in front of him. He still had the appearance of a white-faced scholar, but his eyes were extremely firm, as if he was standing in ancient iron and stone, able to withstand all kinds of erosion in the world...

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have found your lifelong ambition... just go ahead and do it. The worst case scenario is that I will carry your coffin."

Haha, Lu Bai laughed: "I'm lucky, maybe I'll be the one to carry your coffin."

Gu Jinan: "Anything is fine."

…

After the vegetarian banquet, Gu Jinan and the others were busy again... The Ministry of Punishment must formulate a criminal law for the control of mining personnel as soon as possible to prevent ministers and generals from doing evil for profit.

The Ministry of Personnel is busy selecting officials and sending them to the Northeast, Xinliucheng, Datianshu Prefecture, and the five prefecture mining areas.

The Account Department is also busy with money distribution and other matters, and every receipt and expenditure must be accounted for.

"We still don't have enough manpower. Let's open Enke soon after the new year!" After staying up for several long nights, Gu Dewang finally couldn't help but go to Wei Xiao to ask for help.

But the Ministry of Rites disagreed: "No. The Ministry of Rites is also busy with the New Year's Day Festival, accepting the prince from the army, and preparing to send an envoy to Baisha Kingdom."

We are already busy enough. If we open Enke again, will the people in their etiquette department still be alive?

Moreover, the imperial examination is a major event, and it is better not to do it than to do it in a hurry. If anything goes wrong, it will shake the foundation of the dynasty.

Gu Dewang frowned: "Didn't the thief prince be sent to the Northeast?"

Mr. Zheng said: "Tuo Gude has already run away. It doesn't make much sense to send the thief prince to the Northeast again. So let's send him to the capital. We are going to show him to the public late to cheer up the people."

Gu Dewang: "Why is it meaningless? We can sell the Rong Thief Prince to Dongqing!"

What?

In Si'an Palace, everyone who heard this was shocked and looked at Gu Dewang... You really dare to do any business.

"What do you think I'm doing? Is this a bad idea?" Gu Dewang said to them: "Tuogude is plundering Dongqing, and the people of Dongqing hate him. All parties in Dongqing must be willing to buy Ameng at a high price. He is used to negotiate with Tuogude, and if the negotiation fails, he can also kill Amenhe, and is used to win over and boost the hearts of the people of Dongqing."

He looked at Wei Xiao: "Your Majesty, we have won a great victory in Northeast China. We don't need to kill the thief prince to boost morale. Let's sell Amenghe to Dongqing. Not only can we make a lot of money, but also Dongqing can The hatred between the soldiers and thieves deepens, killing two birds with one stone."

It would be a pity to kill them, but it would be nice to make money by selling them.

Wei Xiao looked at him, somewhat speechless, but said: "It is indeed a good idea... According to my decree, continue to take Amenghe to the northeast and sell it to Dongqing. As for how to sell it and how much it will cost, it is up to the Duke of Qin to decide."

Amenhe was sold like this.

…

I was so busy that the twenty-seven days of filial piety passed quickly.

On the same day, Wei Xiao led his ministers, several family members, and relatives and friends who came to see Old Qin off. They paid homage to Old Qin and read out the new good news to him, and then he showed his filial piety.

Wei Xiao specially gave a message and allowed the village chief He and Mr. Xu who came to see Mr. Qin off to celebrate the New Year at the Chengguogong Mansion, and then set off to return to their hometown after the new year. The expenses during this period were paid out of his private treasury.

He also told Supervisor Zhong: "Purchase a small gift for each of their families, and give it to them when they return to their hometown, to express the friendship between grandpa and them."

"Yes." Supervisor Zhong recorded it.

After Village Chief He and Mr. Xu learned about it, they cried again and secretly sighed in their hearts: The notorious "Qin Erlang" has also become informed and reasonable. Qin Laoquan must be very happy to know this.

After the filial piety, everyone's sadness at the death of Mr. Qin gradually faded away, and they began to get busy with New Year's celebrations.

But Erlang and the others still go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion and play in Mr. Qin's yard every day, just like they did when Mr. Qin was still alive.

Gu Jinli looked pleased and distressed, but did not advise them. He allowed them to remember their ancestors in their own way.

…

While David was busy celebrating the New Year, Dongqing was completely caught up in the melee.

Bang!

The old Emperor Dongqing looked at the latest battle report and was so angry that he knocked over an incense burner: "Naughty girl, if I had known you were so vicious, I should have thrown you into a corpse cave to raise poisonous bacteria!"
