The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 136
The day before New Year's Eve is the last day of the year to deliver food to Zuixianlou.

In order to meet the needs of customers, Su Yunduo reserved enough vegetables for his family and Ning's family for the New Year, and took all the vegetables that could be collected and sent them to Qian Bingtai.

On this day, Ning Zhongping and Ning Huafeng drove back and forth twice in a carriage and the other in a mule cart, while Su Yunduo, Su Chengzhi and Su Zexuan got up early in the morning to collect vegetables and worked for nearly three hours before counting all of them. All the dishes were packed and sent to the city.

Watching the last basket of vegetables being delivered into the carriage, Su Yunduo suddenly remembered the old doctor who hadn't heard from him for a long time and couldn't help but frowned. He pulled Ning Zhongping who was about to board the carriage and asked, "By the way, uncle, is there any news from the capital?"

Ning Zhongping shook his head, Su Yunduo frowned even tighter.

When Lu Jinkang and the old doctor left Geshan Village, they had just entered Dongyue, and almost two months had passed, but there was no news at all, it shouldn't be!
Maybe something happened, but don't affect the cultivation of medicinal materials!
Ning Zhongping lightly patted Su Yunduo's little hand and comforted him: "Although our Yanshan Mansion only had two snowfalls this year, it is said that there have been several consecutive snowfalls in the capital. I haven't come back yet, so the road must be blocked by heavy snow. The letter is naturally delayed on the road, maybe the letter will arrive tomorrow. As long as there is a letter, I will send it to you immediately. "

Su Yunduo sighed, and could only wait. Fortunately, she collected some medicinal seeds, and found some honeysuckle trees in the valley between the mountain depression and the dense forest. Although the gap is very large, it is better than nothing!
In the capital city, the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lu Jinkang was sitting in the study room staring at the heavy snow in a daze through the blurry glass window.

The little servant Jiu'er jumped in from outside, cursing God incessantly.

"Okay, shut up, you're not afraid of God's anger and thunder?" Lu Jinkang was disturbed, and he couldn't help but stare at Jiu'er with a frown.

Only when the two of them get along in private, Jiu'er is not afraid of Lu Jinkang, and only sees Lu Jinkang replying with a playful smile on his face: "How can there be any thunder in this winter?!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling sound, which shocked Jiu'er and sat on the ground, and also shocked Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang cast a sideways glance at Jiu'er, who sat down on the ground in panic, stood up and pushed open the window and stretched out his hand to look out.

In the yard outside the study, several guards were looking at the sky. Lu Jinkang couldn't help but also looked at the sky. Except for the heavy snow falling all over the sky, there was no trace of thunder. So where did the rumbling sound come from? ?

Thinking carefully about the direction the rumbling sound came from, it really didn't sound like thunder falling from the sky, but it seemed to come from the western suburbs.

Thinking of what the Holy Majesty said when he entered the palace a few days ago, Lu Jinkang had the idea of ​​entering the palace to see what happened.

Although Lu Jinkang has no official position and is a man, it is not difficult for him to enter the palace because he has a very favored aunt in the palace.

No, it was only half an hour before Lu Jinkang was already sitting in the royal study of the Holy Majesty, eating the rare fruit in this season, while talking with the Holy Majesty, it seemed that what he was facing casually was not the emperor who was aloof but the emperor Just a normal guy.

"Have you heard that voice?" The Holy One looked at Lu Jinkang and asked with a smile.

Lu Jinkang put down the fork in his hand, washed his hands in the basin held by the little eunuch, dried them carefully with a handkerchief, and then nodded lazily.

Although Lu Jinkang seemed a little rude, the Holy One did not take it as disobedience, he still looked at Lu Jinkang with a smile, saw him nodding and stretching out his finger and nodded at him: "I know that you have always been a child who has nothing to do. Three Treasure Hall. If you want to know what's going on, you can see for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he handed a memorial on the royal table to Lu Jinkang. Lu Jinkang calmed down a little, took the memorial and looked at it carefully. Gradually, he no longer saw the appearance of that dandy, and his expression changed. Be very solemn.

"Those technicians in the Ministry of War are good and powerful. It took so long to select the best ore from so many ores." Lu Jinkang raised the memorial in his hand and sighed.

"Then someone has to provide them with ore. In this way, you have the most credit! Tell me, what do you want?" The Holy One took the memorial and returned to his seat, looking at Lu Jinkang with kind eyes.

In order to find saltpeter mines, Lu Jinkang almost lost his life in the depths of Yanshan Mountain. Even if this matter cannot be clearly rewarded, the Holy One is not willing to lose his favorite nephew.

Lu Jinkang shook his head, not because he was so upright, but because he didn't have what he wanted yet.

No one in the capital knew that he was the concubine Zhen's most beloved nephew, so he became the holy majesty's favorite nephew. The things that the palace bestowed on Lu Jinkang during festivals and festivals were definitely no worse than any prince or princess.

"Would you like to give you a marriage?" The Holy Majesty said this with some caution.

Lu Jinkang did exactly what the Holy Majesty thought, although he didn't say anything, his face darkened immediately.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep this reward for you first, and when you need it, tell me yourself, as long as you don't violate the law, you can do whatever you want!" The majesty of the Holy One.

Lu An, the chief eunuch who was serving in the imperial study, twitched his eyes, feeling ashamed to see it, the crown prince was not as casual as Lu Jinkang!

"Speaking of it, don't feel annoyed. You will be eighteen after the new year. Yesterday your aunt mentioned this matter to me, saying that your grandmother is very worried. You, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your grandmother. think.

Your grandmother is getting older every year, and her bones are getting older. If there is a suitable girl, you should settle down as soon as possible, and I will marry you at that time. "Although he knew that Lu Jinkang didn't like to hear these words, His Majesty still persuaded him earnestly with his knife-like eyes.

Everyone said that Lu Jinkang went to Yanshan Mansion to relax because of the daughter of the Qi family who didn't know the so-called divorce. Only a few people knew that it was just an excuse. Of course, this very few people included the Holy One, and the Holy One was even the arbiter of this move.

Although it hurt Lu Jinkang's face to be divorced, it also gave Lu Jinkang a chance to get rid of the engagement.

The Holy Majesty knew very well that Lu Jinkang had never liked a girl from the Qi family. Of course, the Holy Majesty did not find out that Lu Jinkang had any favorite girls. He was really worried that Lu Jinkang didn't like girls at all. Seeing that the servants around him were the maids and the guards. The son doesn't even have a young maid.

Thinking about it this way, the Holy Majesty is really worried. After all, Lu Jinkang is also the future Duke of Zhen Guo, and he must not be Duanxiu!
