Chapter 4
Lu Hanzhi didn't know the customs of the Cheng family, but the big families were probably pretty much the same.Before the separation, the man’s salary must be handed over to the public office, and at the same time, he will receive monthly money. The daughter-in-law’s dowry is his own private property, which can be kept and used by himself. Whoever wants to get something more has to figure it out by himself.Of course, the salary has to be handed in, and the adult men in the family will have some private property, such as lucky money from childhood to adulthood, various items rewarded by the elders, such as Cheng Junze, and rewards for leading soldiers in battle.

Lu Hanzhi's dowry is quite large. Although the Lu family is a well-known family, several generations have been in the officialdom, and there are no prodigal sons in the family. The family business accumulated over the generations is still very rich. Parents love Lu Hanzhi, not to mention emptying the family. Dowry, but Lu Hanzhi's dowry may be envied by many prostitutes in the duke's family.But his own money is different from the one my husband handed in. Lu Hanzhi was surprised for a moment, and said: "My husband usually walks around, so he will inevitably need money..."

"I don't need anything at the border. If I'm in the capital, I'll just ask my wife. On the contrary, my wife is new here. It's convenient to have money in hand." Cheng Junze himself didn't stay in the capital for much time, but he heard people say, Many people in the capital have a pair of snobbish eyes. If they don't have money on hand, they will have difficulty moving an inch.What's more, there are so many places for women to spend money. Cheng Junze saw the green bracelet on Lu Hanzhi's wrist, and the gently swaying Bu Yao on his head, it was all money!
Taking advantage of Lu Hanzhi being moved, Cheng Junze said cautiously: "Madam, I'm going to fight today..."

Lu Hanzhi's hand holding the key paused. Last night, Duke Ning and Cheng Junze were invited to the palace to discuss matters. Lu Hanzhi guessed that the battle at the border was imminent and could not be delayed. It didn't seem surprising that Cheng Junze would go out immediately .It's impossible to be happy, Cheng Junze didn't go here for promotion and salary increase, border wars could kill him at any time, even as a general, there is no 100% safety.

"I'm leaving today, when are we leaving?" Lu Hanzhi adjusted his mood, Cheng Junze is a general, it is impossible to disobey the emperor's orders, let alone ignore the people at the border, "Yes, go to the northwest?"

"No," Cheng Junze was actually a little worried about Lu Hanzhi crying. When he was young, he and his father left Beijing. His mother and sister would cry, and it took a long time to persuade him to stop. Lu Hanzhi was his wife, and he left her on the wedding night. If he wanted to leave home to go to the border, he would always feel sorry for her, "Suzhou urgently reported that Beidi suddenly invaded the south, Suzhou has already lost half of the city, the emperor ordered me to be the vanguard, and rush to reinforce first."

The military situation in Suzhou is not a secret. It is impossible for outsiders to know so clearly, but they will also know where the war happened, so there is nothing they can't say at home.

The Cheng family has been stationed in the northwest for generations, so Lu Han subconsciously thought that this was also a war in the northwest. Unexpectedly, it was Suzhou. Lu Hanzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I have been to Suzhou before."

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it has always attached great importance to the imperial examination, but not every Jinshi who passed the exam can make it to the top, even the number one scholar in high school.Lu Hanzhi's father, Lu Yun, was able to be the Prime Minister of Shuntian Fu at this age. Apart from his grandfather's contacts, it was more because of Lu Yun's years of exile, and what he had accumulated were all real political achievements.The father was released, and Lu Hanzhi and the second brother followed their parents. Although they were not richer than those in Beijing, they also gained a lot of knowledge.

"My father was the prefect of Suzhou for a period of time, and our family went to Suzhou with him. Although I don't understand political affairs, I have heard my father and my second brother say that Suzhou is close to Beidi, and there are records in the files every year. Beidi invaded, but the city defense was not very strict, and it is rare that no civilians died at the hands of Beidi every year." Lu Hanzhi recalled the situation at that time, "At that time, my second brother said that since the Suzhou garrison can protect the people of Suzhou People died at the hands of Beidi, why can't the property of Suzhou people be protected?"

"My second brother was not very old at the time, so it was childish to say this, but it was winter when we arrived in Suzhou, and people died of freezing and starving every day. The number of people invaded by Yu Rongdi." Lu Hanzhi still couldn't help sighing when he mentioned it now, "It's just that my father only stayed in Suzhou for less than half a year, and he was transferred elsewhere before he had time to learn more."

Lu Hanzhi just mentioned Suzhou and remembered the situation at that time, but Cheng Junze thought more.He has never been to Suzhou, but he knows that Suzhou is the same as the northwestern frontier state. Even the weather is bitter and cold, and the lives of the people are even more difficult. The meager property of ordinary people is what they can rely on to survive. How can they let the enemy take it away?That being the case, how could there be no casualties under Beidi's invasion, I'm afraid there are other reasons for this.

"Thank you for telling me this." Cheng Junze sincerely thanked him. He had never been to Suzhou, and even if he got the map, his understanding of Suzhou was very one-sided.Although Lu Hanzhi only mentioned this incident, it was enough to remind him that the officials and soldiers in Suzhou may not believe it all.

Seeing that Cheng Junze took her words to heart, Lu Hanzhi didn't worry that he wronged the officials in Suzhou. Cheng Junze didn't go to investigate those officials, but as a general who led the army, if he was stabbed in the back, he would be too wronged. It's good to be on guard.

After the two chatted for breakfast, Cheng Junze got up and said to Lu Hanzhi, "Let's go, let's go meet our relatives together."

Cheng Junze was going to go to war today, Lu Hanzhi didn't think about asking him to accompany him to meet his elders and relatives at this time, he was a little surprised when he said that: "You are going to go to war today, don't you need to pack your bags?"

"Someone will pack up the things. The army will leave in the afternoon. I will accompany you to meet the elders and relatives." Before getting married, the elders told him about the process before and after the wedding. According to the rules, he should accompany Lu Hanzhi to meet the elders at home today. Relatives, she needs to accompany her back to her natal home tomorrow to reassure her parents.Now that the emperor's order is hard to violate, it is impossible to accompany Lu Hanzhi back to her mother's house tomorrow, but today she should always accompany her to serve tea to the elders. His respect and love are the foundation of Lu Hanzhi's foothold in the Cheng family.

"Okay." Lu Hanzhi only felt that her affection for Cheng Junze had risen rapidly. Of course, she knew that Cheng Junze would accompany her to serve tea, and her life would be much easier in the future, but she would not make such a request when Cheng Junze was about to go to war.But Cheng Junze can think of it by himself and accompany her to do it, Lu Hanzhi feels that his choice is not wrong, even if Cheng Junze has no deep feelings for her, but at least Cheng Junze has a responsibility and responsibility instead of thinking only about himself.
