The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 825

Su Yunduo always thought that it would take at least three to five years for Lu Jinkang to go to Northern Xinjiang before he could return to Beijing. To her great surprise, the Holy Lord privately gave Lu Jinkang a deadline to complete Boni City within one year. defense.

In other words, if Lu Jinkang went to northern Xinjiang this time without special circumstances, he might be recalled to the capital by the Holy One a year later.

This made Su Yunduo tangled about whether to bring Brother Huan with him, but he couldn't find an opportunity to discuss with Lu Jinkang for several days in a row, so he had to follow the previously agreed opportunity and make various preparations for taking Brother Huan with him.

The Holy Majesty issued two decrees at the court meeting that day, one was to dispatch Lu Jinkang to Boni City to improve the defense of Boni City, and the other was to appoint Lu Kun as the new commander of the Imperial Army.

In order to give Lu Jinkang and Lu Kun sufficient time for the handover, the Holy One specially granted Lu Jinkang ten days to prepare.

This time Lu Jinkang was sent to Boni City in the name of perfecting Boni City's defense. In addition to handing over with Lu Kun in the ten days, he still needs to select some skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to assist him in his upcoming work.

The handover with Lu Kun was very smooth, and the speed was astonishing. It only took two days to complete the handover of all the affairs of the Forbidden Army, and Lu Kun soon took office.

What made Lu Jinkang feel very difficult was the selection of skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

In order to take away the manpower he picked from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, Lu Jinkang almost fell into arguing with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry day and night, which made Lu Jinkang very upset.

Not to mention that Lu Jinkang went out early and came back late for several consecutive days, Su Yunduo rarely even had the chance to talk to him, even if she had the chance to talk, facing Lu Jinkang's red eyes, she was not willing to bother Lu Jinkang with the affairs of the house.

When Lu Jinkang took out Lai Pijin, who was the number one dandy in the capital, and finally got the manpower he needed from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, another five days passed, and it was only three days before the departure date set by the Holy Majesty.

Although he was not sure whether to bring Brother Huan or not, Su Yunduo's preparations were still proceeding in an orderly manner.

In fact, these preparations had already started shortly after Lu Jinkang's Dragon Boat Festival. In order not to touch Lu Mingyang and An's nerves in advance and bring too much resistance to the preparation work, all the preparation work related to Brother Huan was kept in the dark.

Except for a few insiders in Xiaofengyuan, almost everyone thought that Brother Huan would be left in the capital this time, and only Su Yunduo would go to Boni City with Lu Jinkang.

Actually, Su Yunduo made double preparations.

On the surface, she was the only one who followed Lu Jinkang, but in private, she made all the preparations for Brother Huan to go with her.

Su Yunduo's packed luggage included almost all the outfits Brother Huan needed for traveling, food and clothing, and the nanny Bai Zhi's family.

According to the imperial decree, Lu Jinkang's departure time is on the eighth day of June. Considering that Su Yunduo will accompany him on this trip, he will also bring a batch of medicinal materials, medical liquor and other supplies, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Boni City in a month.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry had obtained satisfactory staff, and after explaining the time for gathering on the eighth day of June, Lu Jinkang finally freed up his hands to care about Su Yunduo's preparations: "Is everything ready?"

Su Yunduo explained his preparations one by one, and it seemed that everything was in order.

However, after listening to Su Yunduo talking about the accompanying staff, Lu Jinkang couldn't help but frowned. They were going to bring Brother Huan along with them. Is it enough to bring only these staff?
But if there is something wrong, it doesn't seem to be the case. In the list given by Su Yunduo, there are not only the big maid and close wife who waited on Su Yunduo, but also Brother Huan's nanny.

But no matter how you look at it, Lu Jinkang feels that these manpower is barely enough, especially since there are several fewer people waiting around Brother Huan. Won't it be less?"

Su Yunduo silently glanced at Lu Jinkang, lowered his eyes and sighed, "We're afraid we won't be able to take Brother Huan away!"

Speaking of pushing another list in front of Lu Jinkang, several people were missing from this list, such as Brother Huan's nanny Bai Zhi and her family, and Mama Yang's family.

Lu Jinkang's expression suddenly sank, and he stared at Su Yunduo silently for a moment, and finally understood that someone in the house must have put pressure on her to make Su Yunduo say such things.

Brother Huan was conceived in October by Su Yunduo and gave birth to her desperately. How could she love Brother Huan less than him, and Su Yunduo wanted to take Brother Huan with him even more urgently than him before. I even imagined with him more than once about the life in Boni City with Brother Huan.

Now Su Yunduo has obviously backed down, there are not many people and things that can make Su Yunduo back down, Lu Jinkang can guess without thinking, it must be the two old people in the mansion that made Su Yunduo have to back down.

After arguing with Lu Mingyang in the study that day, Lu Jinkang obviously felt that Lu Mingyang was a little loose.

Now that Lu Mingyang has loosened, with Su Yunduo's ability, he will be able to persuade the two old people to let them take Brother Huan away, but Lu Jinkang is surprised. Already backed down!

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Jinkang's heart. He couldn't tell whether it was the disappointment with Su Yunduo or the disappointment that he couldn't take Brother Huan away. He looked at Su Yunduo with heavy eyes and asked, "Tell me, what's going on!"

Although Lu Jinkang's voice and tone were very flat and calm, Su Yunduo knew that he was angry.

Su Yunduo felt that Lu Jinkang's eyes fell on him like a sharp sword, piercing her painfully.

To be honest, Su Yunduo felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, she had to face the reality that Brother Huan stayed in the capital, and on the other hand, she also had to bear Lu Jinkang's silent censure. What made her feel even more sad was the flash in Lu Jinkang's eyes The slightest disappointment.

But what can she do? Could it be that she doesn't want to take Brother Huan with her, but deliberately wants to keep Brother Huan in the capital?
Although only a few of the most useful people around her were preparing the luggage for Brother Huan, but recently the eyes of the manor were all on Xiaofengyuan, not to mention that An Shi had already learned from Lu Mingyang that they planned to bring Brother Huan with them. An's, who was determined to keep brother Huan by his side, naturally would not let go of any trouble.

She just started to pack Brother Friday's luggage here, and An Shi directly brought someone to ask her for Brother Huan.

If she hadn't been so talkative, Brother Huan would have been forcibly taken to Ci'an Hall by An's right now.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" It's not that Lu Jinkang didn't understand Su Yunduo's difficulties, but he never planned to leave Brother Huan alone in the capital, so he was naturally very unhappy with the result.

"You're so busy these days, I, I can't find a good time to talk to you about these things." Su Yunduo didn't dare to meet Lu Jinkang's eyes, and lowered his eyes.

Lu Jinkang's brows tightened again, what kind of stupid reason is this!
He went back to Xiao Feng Yuan to rest every day, although he had less time to talk, if he really wanted to talk, would he still have a chance? !

"You!" Lu Jinkang still couldn't bear to blame Su Yunduo, he only said this one word, stood up and left Xiaofengyuan without saying anything.

Su Yunduo sat silently for a while to calm himself down, then called Bai Kui in and asked her to inquire about Lu Jinkang's whereabouts.

As long as Lu Jinkang is in the room, no one will be left to wait on him. Of course, no one will hear what he and Su Yunduo said. some disputes.

Bai Kui is worthy of being Su Yunduo's ear god. Without Su Yunduo's order, he paid attention to Lu Jinkang's whereabouts after leaving Xiaofengyuan for Su Yunduo. Naturally, he didn't need to ask any more at this moment, and blurted out: "My son went to the Mercy Anyuan."

Su Yunduo sat silently for a while, then sighed and asked Bai Kui to invite Nanny Ding to come in.

Based on her understanding of An Shi, since she had made up her mind to pay attention, Lu Jinkang should not be her opponent.

Lu Jinkang is busy with outside affairs these days and doesn't know much about the situation in the mansion. He doesn't know what kind of pressure Su Yunduo is facing these days.

An's was not the only one who opposed Brother Huan accompanying them to Boni City. All the elders in the mansion, including Lu Mingyang, disapproved. Apart from the inside of the Zhenguo Mansion, there was also pressure from Dongmingfang. Ning Zhongping and Su Jieting, who always loved Su Yunduo, also came to dissuade him.

Everyone analyzed the pros and cons of Huan Geer going to Boni City with them from various angles. Everyone felt that the advantages of taking Huan Geer with them far outweighed the disadvantages. hit rock bottom.

In fact, Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo didn't understand these truths in their hearts, but whenever they thought of leaving the eight-month-old brother Huan alone in the capital, their hearts felt like heart-piercing pain.

In the past few days, Su Yunduo met many relatives and friends who came to Zhen Guogong's mansion as lobbyists to dissuade her from bringing Brother Huan with her. Through the conversations of these people, Su Yunduo understood very well.

Except for the Ning family, grandma and aunt of the Ning family, and Su Jieting and a few other people who just love Huan Geer and worry that Huan Brother will suffer with them. Even if more people really love Huan Geer, they still have this or that. distracting thoughts.

Su Yunduo naturally understood in his heart that it was indeed not a very wise thing to take Brother Huan with him, and it was indeed not a good thing for Lu Jinkang and the Zhen Guo Gongfu.

Even if she didn't have the clear decree of the Holy Majesty and the background of Kangyun Ranch, it would be absolutely impossible for her to go to Boni City.

I don't know what Lu Jinkang said to Lu Mingyang and An's in the Ci'an Hall, but about an hour later, he returned to Xiaofengyuan with Brother Huan in his arms.

Brother Huan is already able to recognize people very well now, when he saw Su Yunduo, he said "Ahhh" and threw himself on Su Yunduo.

Brother Huan's thumping appearance made Su Yunduo feel sour in his heart. Thinking of the parting soon, his eyes became even more astringent. Avoiding Lu Jinkang's scrutinizing gaze, he reached out to take Brother Huan and buried his head in Brother Huan's small chest Li played with Brother Huan, taking the opportunity to calm down the turbulent mood.

Lu Jinkang was sensitive to Su Yunduo's emotional changes, and took a step forward to hold his wife and children tightly in his generous arms.

When leaving Xiaofengyuan, Lu Jinkang went to Ci'an Hall with disappointment at Su Yunduo's retreat and dissatisfaction with the old man who didn't understand his revolutionaries.

Talked with Lu Mingyang and An Shi in Ci'an Hall for almost an hour, during which there were bound to be disputes.

Naturally, Lu Mingyang and An's had been prepared for Lu Jinkang to come to question him, and they analyzed the pros and cons of taking Brother Huan to Boni City for him from various aspects, so that Lu Jinkang could understand that taking Huan to Boni City was indeed a huge disadvantage. Yu Li, even if it's just for Brother Huan, he shouldn't bring Brother Huan with him this time.

Lu Jinkang is stubborn, and he has his own insistence on whether Brother Huan should stay or not. After Lu Mingyang and Anshi talked dry, he still insisted on taking Brother Huan away.

Lu Mingyang was so angry that he patted the table and shouted: "This time you go to Boni City, you have to complete the defense of Boni City, and your daughter-in-law has to complete the preparation of the ranch. Are you sure you have time to accompany Brother Huan?!"

Immediately, Anshi also "slapped" the table, stood up and glared, pointed at Lu Jinkang angrily and cursed: "The Holy Majesty just gave you a year, and you think that the Holy Majesty will let you stay in Bobo after one year?" Mud City?

When you come back a year later, Brother Huan is only two years old.

I know you are afraid that we two old fellows will spoil you too much, and you will harm brother Huan instead.

But don't you think about it, what can a child under two years old understand?What does it matter if we spoil it? !

If you don't pamper a child when he is young, why not pamper him when he is older?

Besides, I spoiled you when you were a child, do you think you look crooked?

If you want to teach Brother Huan, it is up to you to decide how you want to teach when you come back.Tell me, tell me, how are you going to torment such a small child? ! "

Faced with the old lady's questions one after another, Lu Jinkang finally felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally understood that Su Yunduo wanted to take Brother Huan with him so much, but in the end he had to back down.

After some difficult choices, Lu Jinkang finally followed in Su Yunduo's footsteps, and had to grit his teeth and reluctantly give up the decision to take Brother Huan with him, and finally felt the heartache that Su Yunduo had experienced, and understood Su Yunduo Feeling helpless, he was naturally very annoyed at being angry with Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo is so smart. Ever since Lu Jinkang embraced their mother and child, he understood Lu Jinkang's final decision. They really can't bring Brother Huan with them. The tears that had been suffocated by her finally came out involuntarily. eye sockets.

Lu Jinkang silently wiped away Su Yunduo's tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "I made an agreement with my grandfather, let's each take a step back.

Brother Huan won't be going to Ci'an Hall these few days, and after we set off, let the nanny accompany Brother Huan to live in Ci'an Court.

Grandmother has ordered someone to tidy up the wing of Ci'an Hall, and Grandmother will take care of Brother Huan for us. "

After a short pause, Lu Jinkang continued: "It's only one year, and we'll come back after one year. If we can't come back, someone will pick up Brother Huan and go to northern Xinjiang to reunite with us."

This is the condition that Lu Jinkang and Lu Mingyang negotiated.

Lu Jinkang plans to go to the palace tomorrow to report to the Holy Spirit. Of course, it is best to ask the Holy Spirit for grace first, so as to avoid further twists and turns.

In short, Lu Jinkang's plan is that Brother Huan must grow up in front of him after his third birthday and before his fifteenth birthday, and he must teach his son himself. After all, Brother Huan, like himself, is responsible for the future of the Zhen Guogong Mansion!
