The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 871 The Finale
Back in the capital, Su Yunduo was very busy for a while, and half a month had passed since everything was on the right track.

Su Yunduo finally pulled out and went to Dongmingfang on the days when Lu Jinkang was free and Su Chengzhi and Su Zexuan were resting.

Even though he only left for a year, returning to Dongming Fang Su Yunduo felt like a world away.

Su Zexuan married Lin Yingyue in May, and what is even more gratifying is that Lin Yingyue was diagnosed with a happy pulse in August. The second wife of the Su family will soon have a fourth generation. Look at her face full of joy Mrs. Lu and Ning, and then looking at Lin Yingyue with a ruddy complexion and a shy face, Su Yunduo was overjoyed.

Although Su Yunduo left a congratulatory gift before going to Boni City, he still regretted and apologized for not being able to attend their wedding in person.

In addition to bringing normal gifts, Su Yunduo specially brought some exquisite gems for Lin Yingyue when she came here today.

Of course, I didn't forget to bring the pony for Su Zerui to him.

Although the ten-year-old Su Zerui is the youngest in the family, although his temperament is not as calm as Su Zexuan's back then, he is much older and more stable than Su Zechen at the same age. He, however, politely greeted Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo first, then took brother Huan's hand, and the uncle and nephew went to watch the horses.

Su Yunduo hurriedly signaled Zi Ling to follow. Although the horse sent to Su Zerui was only a juvenile horse, it was also a very tempered horse, not everyone could handle it.

After meeting Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Ning, Lu Jinkang was invited by Su Chengzhi and his son to talk in the study.

He Anju soon had only the female relatives left, and Ning cast a glance at Su Yunduo, and said with a hint of annoyance, "You really did bring a horse back for Brother Rui from such a long distance. Always bothering my son-in-law like this, what should I do?!"

Su Yunduo smiled faintly: "As long as Brother Rui likes it, let alone one horse, so what if ten horses? Besides, we brought back hundreds of horses this time, let alone one more horse is not too many." Even if you only bring horses back for Brother Rui, your son-in-law will not feel any trouble."

Ning stared at Su Yunduo helplessly and sighed: "You!"

The old lady Lu clapped her hands lightly and said, "Brother Rui is Brother Kang's brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law gave him a horse, so why should you worry about this and that! Didn't Brother Kang return it to Old Ba and Brother Xuan?" I have sent the horses here!"

That's right, in addition to the little black horse given to Su Zerui, Lu Jinkang also sent two horses to Su's Second House in Dongmingfang.

Of course, these two horses were not the horses they brought back to the capital from the Kangyun Ranch, and all the hundreds of horses brought back to the capital from the Kangyun Ranch were all amputated by the Holy Majesty.

As a last resort, Lu Jinkang had no choice but to pick two of the best horses from the horse country that the Holy Spirit had given him.

Su Zechen, on the other hand, picked out a very good war horse for himself when he went to Boni City and passed the Kangyun Ranch. This horse accompanied him from the northern border to the northwest, and then accompanied him all the way back to the capital from the northwest.

In this way, the men in Su's Second Household have good horses, and they are all war horses in the eyes of others.

The old lady Lu seemed to be in good spirits, except for the occasional interjection of a sentence or two, just to have fun with Sister Le, the old and the young were laughing and laughing non-stop.

The Ning family couldn't help but ask about Su Yunduo's life in Boni City this year. To be honest, the Ning family really worried about Su Yunduo's family this year, and often mentioned with Su Chengzhi that he regretted sending Su Yunduo to Su Yunduo. Marry Lu Jinkang.

If Su Yunduo married a scholar according to her previous idea, why would she have so many worries and fears? !

Although Su Yunduo said everything was fine every time he sent a letter back, how could Ning not be worried?After all, Boni City is a border gate!

After finally receiving the letter from Su Zechen back to the capital, and knowing that Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang had sent the children to Geshan Village ahead of schedule, Ning's heart finally felt a little more at ease, but she still took the responsibility for Ankangkang and Su Yunduo. Take care.

What's more, there was another younger brother, Ning Zhongping, who led troops to northern Xinjiang to support him later!

During those few months, Ning felt like a walking corpse, and she had to calm down no matter what she did.

At that time, Mrs. Lu fell ill again, and Ning felt that she was about to be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the news of Beijiang's victory quickly spread back to the capital, and Mrs. Lu's illness also recovered, and Ning's family was able to prepare for Su Zexuan's marriage.

It's just that the northern border has stabilized, but the northwest border has already started a war. The news that Ning Zhongping brought reinforcements to support the northwest quickly spread in the capital.

At that time, he had just received a letter from Su Zechen from Boni City. In the letter, Su Zechen said that he was learning how to treat the wounded with a military doctor in Ning Zhongping's military camp, which caused Ning's heart to hang again.

Fortunately, in the end, both Lu Jinkang, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Ning Zhongping, the commander of the reinforcements, Su Yunduo's mother and son who accompanied the army in Boni City, and Su Zechen who followed secretly to the northwest all returned to the capital safely.

This is what makes Ning the happiest!
Before her relatives came back, Ning was most afraid of hearing about the situation in northern Xinjiang and the northwest border, but now Ning took the initiative to ask.

Although all the dangers are in the past, when mentioning the war, Su Yunduo still only picks up the good things, and doesn't mention a word about the dangers she has encountered.

Not to mention Mrs. Lu this year, even Mrs. Ning has aged a lot. Fine lines have appeared on the originally smooth forehead and the corners of the eyes.

"Should the son-in-law stay in the capital or continue to return to northern Xinjiang?" Ning asked her most concerned question.

Su Yunduo was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It depends on what the Holy Majesty wants, and also depends on the outcome of the peace talks with Beichen Kingdom."

Although it is clear that Lu Jinkang will not return to Boni City in eight or nine out of ten, but before the Holy Majesty's decree, Lu Jinkang is still the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

That's right, the Holy Majesty's will to recall Lu Jinkang did not take back Lu Jinkang's northern border military commander's seal, which is also an important reason why Lu Jinzhen is only acting as the commander-in-chief.

Ning sighed: "I only hope that there will be no more wars on the border!"

Several people were talking, but they saw a maid outside reporting that a distinguished guest had arrived.

When the distinguished guests came in, Su Yunduo couldn't help stroking his forehead.

It was Princess Naya from Beichen Kingdom who came!

Looking at Ning's face, there is still something Su Yunduo doesn't understand. This is definitely not the first time Princess Naya has come to visit.

Is Naya really interested in Su Zechen? !
Su Yunduo's brows couldn't help but tightened again and again. Naya, as a married princess, shouldn't be Su Zechen after all... right!

The final result was beyond Su Yunduo's expectation. Princess Naya really has a different obsession with Su Zechen, no, it should be love!

I don’t know how Princess Naya made Su Zechen nod and agree, and how she persuaded Uriel to agree. Anyway, at the banquet held by the Holy Majesty, Uriel directly asked the Holy Majesty for a marriage on behalf of her sister. Su Zechen, who rose to fame in World War I.

Because Su Yunduo donated the batch of medical liquor in the name of Su Zechen, and because Su Zechen rescued a large number of wounded in the Northwest War, Su Zechen not only gained fame in the Northwest Army, but also made him enter the Northwest Army's list of rewards for victory .

Although the peace talks with the Beichen Kingdom and the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom are still in progress, the Holy Majesty's rewards for the two armies have already come down. Among them, only Su Zechen, who has a reputation as a scholar, was directly called into the Imperial Hospital without examination and became an official eighth-rank Imperial Physician. It caused quite a stir.

After the imperial decree of marriage from the Holy Majesty came down, Su Zechen's reputation really rose. Not long after he became an official imperial physician, he became the son-in-law of Beichen Kingdom, and thus married the royal family.

The Eighth Princess, who had just reached Jiji, betrothed to Uriel by the Holy Admiral, and Uriel and the Eighth Princess will return to Beichen Kingdom for their big wedding.

After one month of marriage, Uriel brought the eighth princess back to the capital of Dongling Kingdom.

According to the agreement between the two countries, Uriel will spend two years studying in the Imperial College.

The Cambodian Eagle Kingdom, which started the Northwest War, was not as lucky as the Beichen Kingdom. As the defeated party, the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom also sent their concubine, but the Holy One chose a son of the same age from the royal family to marry the princess of the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom. It's just that although this son is a member of the royal family, his ability is obviously not as important as Su Zechen.

As for the Cambodian crown prince's proposal to marry the princess, he was directly ignored by the Holy Majesty.

The two wars, the two countries that were once opposed, ended up with completely different results, but the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom could only hold its nose and recognize it.

Who made the new emperor of Beichen Kingdom form an alliance with Dongling Kingdom to form a united front when the two countries were at war, and then submit a proposal to Dongling Kingdom that satisfied Dongling Kingdom as soon as the new regime was established, and Cambodia The Eagle Kingdom is not only a challenge, but also a veritable opposing country and a defeated country!
The prince who led the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom to negotiate peace has some personal friendship with Lu Jinkang, and hoped that Lu Jinkang could come forward and say something nice for the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom in front of the Holy One.

Will Lu Jinkang do it?
Of course not!

In front of the family and the country, personal friendship is nothing!

Besides, if this personal relationship is really valued, why would the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom challenge the Dongling Kingdom? !

As a result of the peace talks between the two countries, in addition to the three cities already occupied by the Dongling Kingdom, the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom gave up another city and two mines to calm the anger of the Dongling Kingdom.

When the see-saw peace talks with the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom finally came to an end, snowflakes began to fall in the capital.

In recent years, the aging Lu Mingyang An's and Mrs. Lu have basically gone to the warm Leyou Mountain Villa Maodong, and this year is no exception.

While Lu Da, Lu Jinkang and others were busy with peace talks, Su Yunduo began to arrange for the elderly and children to go to Leyou Villa for the winter. In October, he took the children to send a few old people to Leyou Villa, and even accompanied them in Leyou Villa. I stayed in the villa for a few days.

After Su Yunduo returned to Beijing, An's plan was to return the gifts from the mansion to Su Yunduo.

However, Su Yunduo politely refused on the grounds that Lu Jinkang's errand was undecided.

Although Lu Jinkang estimated that Shengshang intended to keep him in the capital, but Lu Jinkang knew that Shuangqi would stay in the capital, Su Yunduo hoped that he would find a position outside the capital, no matter how big or small the official position, even if it was just a small prefecture's guard.

Lu Jinkang took the opportunity of donating medical liquor technology and war horse priority technology to the Holy Majesty on Su Yunduo's behalf, and discussed with the Holy Majesty several times.

The Holy Majesty took over the two technologies donated by Su Yunduo for free, and even sent people to northern Xinjiang to take over Kangyun Ranch and Kangyun Winery, but he never agreed to Lu Jinkang's request. He hoped that Lu Jinkang would stay in the capital and take over again Commander of the Forbidden Army.

Because of the flood in the south this year and the unstable situation, the Holy Admiral Lu Kun sent him to the south to become the governor of one side. The position of commander of the forbidden army has been vacant. He recalled Lu Jinkang from northern Xinjiang, with the purpose of letting Lu Jinkang regain control of the forbidden army.

It's not that the Holy Majesty has no other candidates, but he trusts Lu Jinkang more than others.

On this day, Lu Jinkang was summoned into the palace again by the Holy Majesty, and the monarch and his ministers discussed Lu Jinkang's errand again. The minister of the Ministry of War happened to bring the news that the Danzhou garrison was seriously injured due to the suppression of bandits, and Lu Jinkang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If you are really sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow!

Shanzhou is a relatively large state capital to the south of the capital city. It belongs to a hilly area. The mountains are neither tall nor dense. And endless.

This year, His Majesty issued a deadly order to the defense of Danzhou. It is necessary to wipe out these bandits in Danzhou, return the local people to a clean and peaceful Danzhou capital, and give passing merchants a stable business route.

I don't know if the bandits are too strong, or the garrison in Shanzhou is too weak. They entered the mountain several times, and every time they left with great fanfare, they returned in disgrace. You can't even touch the bandits' fur.

This time it was even worse. The Danzhou garrison handed in the informant and personally led the team to suppress the bandits. As a result, not only did he fail to wipe out the bandits, but he also lost a lot of troops. He was almost beheaded by a knife. If he pushed him, his head might have fallen to the ground.

During this battle, the garrison was carried back to the garrison battalion in a coma covered in blood, and the left-behind lieutenant was frightened and rushed to Beijing to report the news, hoping that the DPRK and China could send more troops to wipe out these fierce bandits.

Seizing the opportunity presented to him, Lu Jinkang challenged the Holy One.

Of course, his call for battle is not just as simple as bringing troops to Shanzhou for support. Naturally, he wants to take down the post of Danzhou's garrison.

The Holy Majesty had no choice but to sigh secretly. If the banditry in Danzhou is not eliminated, it will only get worse. The Holy Majesty has lost patience with the performance of the Danzhou defense. Already changed hands.

The surname of Danzhou Guard is Hua, and he is the third prince's uncle.

But now he can no longer let him go. It just so happened that he was also seriously injured. It is better to let him go back to the capital to recuperate, and find another capable and capable person to go to Danzhou to serve as a defense.

The Holy Majesty really didn't expect to let Lu Jinkang go to Danzhou to be the guard of Nao Shizi, but Lu Jinkang volunteered to go to Danzhou, and the Minister of the Ministry of War actually echoed it repeatedly, so that the Holy Majesty almost lost his anger.

It's not that there is no one in the court to send, for a talent like Lu Jinkang, it is really overqualified to serve as a guard in Danzhou.

In short, the Holy Majesty just said that it is possible to send Lu Jinkang to lead troops to suppress bandits, but it is absolutely impossible to serve as a garrison.

When Lu Jinkang came back from the palace, facing Su Yunduo's expectant eyes, he could only show a helpless wry smile.

Now I know that too much grace is also a burden!

When Ning Zhongping rushed to Shanzhou to suppress the bandits with a thousand soldiers selected from the Western Camp and took over as the Danzhou garrison, Lu Jinkang officially stepped down as the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang and regained control of the Forbidden Army.

The seal of leadership in Northern Xinjiang officially fell on Lu Jinzhen.

The government of Zhen Guo is still standing at the top of Dongling country's power, and is deeply trusted and appreciated by the Holy Majesty.

Because Su Yunduo handed over Kangyun Winery and Kangyun Ranch for free, the Holy One not only gave a generous reward, but also planned to order Leyou Winery to continue to provide medical liquor for the capital and the military camps in the south.

However, this will was directly rejected by Su Yunduo, since he wanted to hand it over, he must do it thoroughly!

From then on, Leyou Winery only made wine, and mainly made fruit wine.

After completing the handover of Kangyun Winery with the officials sent by the Holy Lord, Zhang Pingan and Liu Jialin returned to the capital from northern Xinjiang with their respective families, and the two continued to work for Su Yunduo.

Liu Jialin became Su Yunduo's general accountant, while Zhang Pingan spent his whole life in Leyou Winery, enjoying research and development of various fruit wines.

When Zhang Pingan came back from northern Xinjiang, he brought back freshly brewed sea buckthorn fruit wine.

Seabuckthorn fruit wine is sweet, mellow, sweet, sour and refreshing. It has the effects of eliminating phlegm, benefiting the lungs, nourishing the stomach, and invigorating the spleen. After several years of continuous research, it was finally successfully developed this year.

Because there were not many of them, all of them were sent to the government of the town.

It was the New Year's Eve when the seabuckthorn fruit wine was delivered to the Zhenguo Mansion, so it became the wine for the family banquet on the New Year's Eve of the Zhen Guo Mansion.

"In the future, we will have a good time! Look at the food and the wine, even I, who has a poor appetite, can almost get full!" Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, An Shi glanced at the bustling and joyous gathering. The children and grandchildren couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Although Lu Jinkang was left in the capital by the Holy Majesty, it would bring them more responsibilities and a lot of troubles, but the joy in front of him, the smiles of the old man, and the laughter of the children really washed away the trace of love in his heart. Pity.

Su Yunduo felt that all she and Lu Jinkang wanted was for their relatives to live a safe and happy life, so why should they care about where they are at this moment? !
