The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 750 Lu Jinkang's Bottom Line
Thinking of this, An Shi couldn't sit still any longer, and even lost the mood to continue playing in Leyou Villa.

An's restlessness naturally fell into the eyes of Su Yunduo and several aunts. After discussing in a low voice, they decided that Su Yunduo and second-bedroom aunt Fang would accompany An's home first, and arrange the manpower and Items, the other two-bedroom aunts stayed to see Mr. Gu and the girls.

Lu Jinkang was called to his side by Lu Mingyang, and was about to go back to the mountain to inquire about the recent defense of the border town. This was what Lu Mingyang was most worried about. Thinking of Lu Da's soft ears made Lu Mingyang feel uneasy, for fear that if he suddenly softened his ears in business affairs, something serious would happen.

So the people of the government were divided into three parts.

An Shi, Fang Shi and Su Yunduo, the three returned to the city first with their personal attendants.

The sons and daughters were watched by Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Zhao and continued to play and fly kites at the foot of the mountain. After lunch, they would take a short break and decide the time to return to the city depending on the time of the men.

The men, including the third and fourth sons who were fifteen or sixteen years old, followed Lu Mingyang back to the mountain.

Although the third and fourth young masters are still in school, the Zhen Guo government attaches great importance to the cultivation of the young masters. Whenever the mansion encounters such matters related to the military affairs and defense of the border towns, the young masters from the age of fifteen to the mansion will They were all brought by Lu Mingyang's side to participate in it.

The sons of Zhen Guogong's mansion will be sent to the border town for training when they reach a certain age. According to Lu Mingyang's plan, the third and fourth sons will be sent to the border town at the latest next year. As for where they will go after the training, it will depend on the experience. arrange.

Although Lu Jinkang's uncles are all on errands in Beijing now, all of them were taken by Lu Mingyang to border towns for a year or two when they were young.

Except for Lu Da, the second uncle Lu Yue is the one who has spent the longest time in the border town among the three uncles. Although Lu Yue is not serving in the army, he is serving as a servant in the Ministry of War. He is the highest-ranking uncle among the three uncles. .

Except for those young masters who are not suitable for martial arts due to their infirmity, such as Lu Jinhua, all the other young masters in the Zhen Guogong Mansion will go to the border city to practice for more than a year sooner or later.

When Lu Da gets older or has a medical problem and cannot continue to guard the border, Lu Jinkang, as the eldest son of the Zhen Guo government, will naturally be the next border guard of the northern city.

This is the fate of the sons of the Zhen Guo Gongfu, and it is also their unshirkable mission and responsibility as the men of the Zhen Guo Gongfu.

Whenever thinking of these things, Su Yunduo's mood is a little complicated.

Although Lu Da is now in his prime, who can guarantee that Lu Da can stay in the border town for a few more years?

Just thinking about these things made Su Yunduo feel panicked.

Once you become a border guard, you cannot enter Beijing without a holy call. When the border is stable, it is better, and you can return to Beijing to report on your work every other year. If the border is not peaceful, it may not be possible to return to Beijing in five or eight years.

Su Yunduo was not afraid to go to the border town to endure hardships, but worried that he would not be able to accompany him.

Let alone Su Yunduo, even Lu Jinkang couldn't estimate that Lu Da could stay in the border town for a few more years.

When Lu Da couldn't defend the border town, it was the time when Lu Jinkang had to go to the border town to fulfill his duties and mission as the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo. At that time, Su Yunduo really didn't know whether he could follow Lu Jinkang to the border town as he wished.

If not, should someone be arranged beside Lu Jinkang?

As long as he thought that one day he would have to arrange other women for Lu Jinkang, Su Yunduo would feel a sense of suffocation.

Fortunately, Lu Da is still in his prime and in good health. If there is no accident, he can last another ten or eight years.

Who can foresee what will happen in ten or eight years, and worrying about what will happen in ten or eight years now is really mediocre.

Although whenever Su Yunduo thinks of these things, she is very entangled in her heart, but there is not much time to really entangle with this matter. After all, she is not a person who likes to disturb others, and she does not have so much time to entangle with these things Things that haven't happened yet.

Of course, when talking about the future with Lu Jinkang, it is inevitable that this matter will be mentioned. At such times, Su Yunduo will inevitably play petty temper and pinch the soft flesh on Lu Jinkang's waist to ask Lu Jinkang to give her a guarantee.

If promises or vows are useful, will there still be so many resentful spouses in this world?
At this time, Lu Jinkang always stared at Su Yunduo with deep eyes, only staring at Su Yunduo until he felt uncomfortable, then he stretched out his hand to hold him tightly in his arms, and pointed out with a soft smile that Su Yunduo was just worrying.

Ever since he married Su Yunduo, Lu Jinkang had no intention of separating from Su Yunduo.

On that day, he will let Su Yunduo completely let go of the middle class of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, hand over the business in his hands to other people to manage, and let Su Yunduo go to the border town with him.

Anyway, there are some people who are willing to take charge of the town duke's mansion. Anyway, more and more people in Su Yunduo's hands can take charge of their business. In a word, it is absolutely impossible for him to be separated from Su Yunduo for too long.

It's not that Su Yunduo doesn't understand Lu Jinkang's thoughts, but whenever she hears Lu Jinkang's words, she always feels sweet and very comfortable. Of course, she understands in her heart that things are far from that simple.

On that day, there must be a lot of things that she needs to consider, and there will be many things that people have to do, so that they can't be willful.

Think about it, what if Lu Jinkang had to go to the border town, what if their child was still young, or what if she was pregnant, or what if the old man in the house insisted on objecting?
All kinds of things are definitely not something they can do willfully.

Lu Jinkang just smiled and said nothing, there is nothing he can't do that he wants to do, it's just that right now, things haven't come to a stop, no matter how much he talks, it's useless.

In a word, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Jinkang to garrison the border town alone, and there will never be any other women in his life except Su Yunduo, and the only ones who go with him to the border town are Su Yunduo and their children.

Before the children grow up, it is his bottom line that the family should not be separated.

Su Yunduo and Fang accompanied An to hurry back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The first thing they did when they returned to the mansion was to deliver a post to the palace. Ask how many people are available.

It was also a coincidence that this time coincided with the time when the palace sent the elderly maids and nuns out of the palace once every two years.

These maids and nuns who survived to leave the palace have unique skills, and some even have good delivery skills.

The reason why An Shi was so anxious to return to the city, and as soon as he returned to the city, he sent a post to the palace, was aimed at these released maids.

Nurse Ding next to Su Yunduo was one of the nuns released from the palace last time. Mrs. Lu also selected for Su Yunduo through Concubine Gui. The management is well-organized, and the level of rigor is almost to the point where water can't be splashed.

An's sent a letter to Concubine Zhenxi before, but at that time she didn't expect to send a nanny to the border town, so she only asked Concubine Zhengui to think about two nanny to guide the girls in the mansion.

If the letter from the border town was a few days later, even if there was precious concubine in the palace, no matter how precious concubine was favored in front of the emperor, no matter how much she wanted, she would not be able to.

The maids who can be released from the palace have been working in the palace for at least ten years. These maids have some savings in their hands, so those who have family members sent people to pick them up early.

And those who had no family members were stared at by the families of officials in the capital early on.

When they go out of the palace, they will be recruited back to be the teaching mothers of the girls in the mansion.

Those girls who are guided by the maids and nuns who are released from the palace can always be looked at highly by others, and their marriage will be postponed a lot, so once these maids and nuns are released, they will be really popular. !
"My family doesn't need to be so polite. Get up. Mother, I am in a hurry to enter the palace today, but what happened in the mansion? How is father?" Yun Duo saluted, and Concubine Baogui grabbed An Shi and asked eagerly.

An patted Concubine Gui's hand and gave Su Yunduo a look. Su Yunduo used the excuse to talk to the eldest princess and was about to withdraw from the Zhongcui Palace to give An and Concubine Gui a chance to talk alone.

The eldest princess's wedding is scheduled for March next year, and it is very rare to have the opportunity to leave the palace. Su Yunduo has not seen the eldest princess for some days.

The Eldest Princess did not wait for them in the Zhongcui Palace today as usual, presumably the precious concubine did not tell them to enter the palace today.

Concubine Zhengui took a look at Su Yunduo and said with a smile: "I received a post from the mansion yesterday, thought something happened in the mansion, so I didn't tell Yu'er, I was negligent."

After all, let the eldest maid beside her take Su Yunduo to the palace of the eldest princess.

The palace where the eldest princess lives is not far from Zhongcui Palace, and within about a quarter of an hour, Su Yunduo arrived at the Splendid Palace of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess who was being restrained by her mother to learn to read the account book was overjoyed when she heard that Su Yunduo had arrived. She put down the account book and came out to greet her. She affectionately took Su Yunduo's arm and sat down on the soft couch. The maids served the latest snacks and tea, and the intimacy made the mother shake her head.

"Why does cousin-in-law have time to come to the palace today? I heard that you went to Xishan Temple on the Double Ninth Festival, did you also go to Leyou Villa?" Just after sitting down, the eldest princess asked a series of questions. Su Yunduo smiled happily, apparently being tightly locked up these days.

"On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the Mansion went to Xishan to practice Zen. After eating vegetarian food, I went to Leyou Villa. Because something happened in the border town and I needed the help of my mother, so I handed over the post. Today, I will accompany my grandmother to enter. Come here to discuss with the empress." Su Yunduo didn't hide it, there was nothing he couldn't say about these things, so he said slowly with a smile.

"You're still happy. Seeing that I'm either reading accounts or doing needlework every day, I'm about to become a wooden man!" The princess pouted and complained, and while complaining, she stretched out a pair of jade-like hands in front of Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo looked down at the eldest princess's hands, and saw that there were many needle holes on the jade-like fingers, which made Su Yunduo a little dumbfounded.

The eldest princess's needlework is really as bad as ever!
Facing Su Yunduo's teasing eyes, the eldest princess blushed slightly, quickly put her little hand back, and then asked, "What happened in the border town that made grandma so anxious to get angry?"

Su Yunduo glanced at the waiters in the hall with some embarrassment. The eldest princess is a smart person, and she has a tacit understanding with Su Yunduo. The maid of honor who was standing there clapped her hands for a while and said, "Let's go, go to the mother's concubine's palace. Grandmother is here, so I should see you and say hello."

The nanny's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't stop them. The group left Jinxiu Palace and went to Zhongcui Palace.

At this moment in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Guigui understood from An's mouth the reason why An came to the palace today. The mother and daughter had to talk about Lu Da's backyard, but they both expressed helplessness.

As for An's plan to send nanny, stable woman and even medical girl to the border town, precious concubine would not object, so she called in the nanny who needed to come in, and released the maids who had not been targeted by other aristocratic families this time. After sorting it out, Mammy really found a few more suitable ones.

When the Eldest Princess and Su Yunduo came to Zhongcui Palace, An's and Concubine Guizheng were discussing which ones they should have.

The teaching and guidance of Nanny and Wen Po was made by Concubine Zhenxi after she received the news from the mansion. At that time, in order to let An's have a choice, she specially ordered two more, and now it happens to be use.

Considering that Su Yunduo is good at medicine, the female doctor is not considered as an example, so if he wants to send it to the border town, he must choose a good one.

Among the maids and nuns released this time, there are really a few who know medicine, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. When Su Yunduo and the eldest princess entered the palace, they heard the precious concubine talking about one of the medical ladies.

The eldest princess stopped in her tracks, grabbed Su Yunduo, and stood outside the hall in a stately manner, eavesdropping on the precious concubine and An's obedience, leaving Su Yunduo speechless.

Just listen to the precious concubine coming slowly: "This palace lady named Siqi has been doing some chores in the imperial hospital since she entered the palace. She has learned good medical skills. She can't be bothered by ordinary problems, especially in terms of children's care. The doctor is poor.

Originally, such a person would not be released, but a few days ago, when she was taking care of the sick Princess Seven, she made a small mistake and accidentally hurt her face when punishing her. The empress benevolently decided to let her go out to make a living.

If mother doesn't mind her being disfigured, she is a good candidate. "

Because the mansion needs to teach the nanny, the concubine Zhengui had already sent a letter to her, so the concubine Zhengui knew a little about the maids and nanny released this year, so she was able to speak clearly and logically.

If you make a small mistake, you will be beaten into disfigurement?Su Yunduo frowned slightly, and the eldest princess next to her explained a few words in a low voice, and finally said: "This one is called Siqi, and his medical skills are still good, but it's just too tiring to guard Seventh Sister for a few days. After decocting the medicine, Concubine Xian slapped him angrily, and directly knocked him against the corner of the table, completely ruining the chess player's face."

That's it!

"How old is this court lady?" An Shi also felt that this was a good candidate, but she was always worried.

The precious concubine knew what An Shi was worried about as soon as she heard it and said with a smile: "She is already in her twenties, in fact, she should be called a nanny, if there is no mistake, she should have combed herself by now."

An Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed deeply again.

Even though she is 28, this palace lady called Siqi is still a young woman, and she will still look good all her life. It is really against the harmony of others to groom herself like this, but there are many poor people in this world, and it is not because of her kindness. saved.

If Siqi is willing to be used by the Zhen Guo government, the Zhen Guo government will give her a stable life.

"Do you still have family members?" Although she knew that most of the court ladies who were determined to pay attention to grooming themselves had no family members, An Shi decided to ask clearly.

Precious Concubine shook her head: "It is said that there is no family anymore. After the flood ten years ago, no one has contacted her again."

Therefore, An's entry into the palace this time was quite fruitful, and the maids who were named on the second day were sent to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

At this time, all the things and medicinal materials to go to the border town are also fully prepared. According to Lu Mingyang's instructions, this time, not only the nuns, old lady and medical girl released from the palace, but also the second housekeeper of the mansion went to the border town together.

He used to be one of Lu Mingyang's personal guards. This time, Lu Mingyang specially asked him to go to the border town to represent Lu Mingyang. Lu Mingyang personally wrote a long letter for the second housekeeper to bring. According to Lu Jinkang, this letter is not only for the border town Except for some suggestions on defense, almost all of them were Lu Mingyang's reprimand and warning to Lu Da.

Since Lu Mingyang sent someone to reprimand Lu Da, An's had to send someone to reprimand Bei Shi.

An's specially selected a mature and prudent nanny from Zhenghe Hall to explain it well. The nanny, stable woman and medical girl brought out by her from the palace represented what An Shi meant, no matter how arrogant Bei Shi was. Gotta keep her head down.

So on the fourth day when Lu Jinzhen's personal guards arrived in the capital, a group of people in a carriage rushed to the border city day and night under the escort of the personal guards of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.
