Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 352
A few days later, the Lu family held a banquet to welcome the wind, and most of the guests they invited were from the old part of Liaodong who followed the Lu family to Fujian.We are all from Liaodong. Cooking a few Liaodong dishes with the local specialties brought by the stones can relieve the homesickness.

Of course, Prince Jinghai brought abalone over on the same day as the Ning family's visitor, so it was not easy to leave him out for the treat this time, so he invited his Fourth Uncle Bai to accompany him.As for the dishes, of course, a few seafood dishes were also added, just because they might not be used to Liaodong cuisine.

In terms of age, Prince Jinghai's son is only slightly younger than Shi Shi, but he has done enough etiquette when meeting on the first day of the new year. He salutes as a junior, so Shi Shi dares not be so polite, so he hastened to return the salute. I had to signal my brother to take over.

As soon as we talked, Prince Jinghai and the generals in Liaodong asked about the situation in Liaodong, and Shitou said one by one, "These years have been peaceful and peaceful, and the land has been prosperous. Only last year the imperial court brought the former brother-in-law and everyone to recover the situation. The land several hundred miles north of Duolun was given up to the barbarians, and all the military households and civilians from the several fortresses there were moved back, and the officials and the people criticized it, especially Chen Qianhu and Mrs. Yang, who raised it and gritted their teeth."

Not only Chen Yong and Mrs. Yang hated each other, but Tieshi, Ning Wan, and Liaodong generals were also very angry when they heard it. Those lands were not easy to come by. The sentence of getting along well with the barbarians was given away in vain, who can be convinced!
Because in Fujian, there is no need to think too much, everyone said: "How many lives were used to retake those hundreds of miles of land that day? Now it is easy to let the barbarians spend no time. !"

"It's okay if nothing happens right now. In the future, this place will be the springboard for the barbarians to go south. I don't know how many lives will be lost!"

Some even hated: "Your majesty was bewitched by Xiao Qingmu for some reason, first exiled us from the capital, and now he can even send away the country, so he doesn't know that people who are not of our race must have different hearts!"

Prince Jinghai's son said: "The monarch is stupid, sooner or later there will be a catastrophe in the court, everyone just watch!"

Although everyone had resentment towards the emperor, they did not sincerely hope that disasters would happen to the court.Besides, everyone is still courtiers after all, so it is not easy to scold the emperor with Prince Jinghai, so General Bai answered: "If it weren't for the fact that there has never been a marriage in this dynasty, I am afraid that the stupid emperor will marry his daughter to Xiao Qingmu, When the time comes, the in-laws and son-in-law will show up together, how interesting it will be for us to watch the excitement!" A look of anticipation for something to happen.

In fact, everyone fights the Japanese together on weekdays, and they are still harmonious. General Bai is in charge of the navy, and he cooperates well with Tieshi. He encircled and wiped out the Japanese several times in two rounds, but at this time, his thinking is different.

Ning's parents are honest people, and Shitou studied at a young age. Where has he seen such lawless people?He didn't dare to answer the question, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "I came to see my brother-in-law and sister on the first day of junior high school, and they all dressed like people from Fujian, so I dare not recognize them."

Ning Wan, Huai Hua'er and several female family members set up another table, but they were also there, so they smiled and said, "You didn't see us go to the sea, we were all wearing short clothes and long trousers, and straw sandals on our bare feet."

Song'er and Bai'er said: "We have already learned to swim!" They both said: "Little uncle, you should also learn to swim with us, the weather is only cool in the water!"

Prince Jinghai's son also invited, "Uncle is free some other day, take our sea boat and go to the sea to have a look."

When Bai Er heard this, he also said: "I want to go too!" After all, he is a child, and he has already forgotten the fact that he bit the Prince Jinghai's son, and now he is the closest to the Prince Jinghai's son in the Lu family.

Prince Jinghai said with a smile: "Of course it's ok, please let the eldest lady and the eldest son go too."

What kind of big ship did Song Er follow her father before?So it is still indifferent, Huai Huaer is a girl after all, and only made some ordinary boats, so she was very happy to hear that, so she said to her mother: "Let me accompany my little uncle to the sea to have a look."

Ning Wanyuan was not a stickler, so she nodded, "It is said that I want to accompany your little uncle, but it is not that you want to play. However, since there is such an opportunity, you should go." In the blink of an eye, General Bai frowned. Frowning, I just remembered the customs in Fujian, except for passenger ships, women are not allowed to go on board, and I was amused, so I ignored him, thinking that Sophora japonica is not small, and I have to ask her to bring a few more on board The maid is just decent.

Not to mention Shitou and Sophora japonica, accompanied by Jinghai Hou Shizi, took a sea boat and played for a while. They watched the sea, fished in the sea, and even caught a few sea pearls. It was a great time to play. , After returning, they played in one place all day long.In fact, although Shitou has a high seniority, he is not very old. This year he is less than twenty years old. He was in the Ning family before, because he was the only son and an old man. He had to support the family business and take care of his elderly parents. Pretending to be an adult, he became a child again when he was in front of his older sister who was ten years older, and he was happy and at ease.

A few days later, King Jinghai sent someone to send a post, inviting the whole family of the Lu family and the brother-in-law of the Ning family to Ludao as guests.

Ning Wan was a little stunned when she accepted the post, and said to Tie Shi, "Shi Shi is just a child, and he is not an official. What does King Jinghai mean by posting a post to invite guests so solemnly?"

Tie Shi heard that his daughter-in-law was worried, so he shook his head and said, "King Jinghai doesn't mean anything malicious. When I came to Fujian, I was appreciated by King Jinghai, and I sincerely repayed him. Now Fujian's coastal defense is better than before. Many, even Prince Jinghai's son followed me in Cangzhou, I also treated him the same as Song'er, taught me everything about leading the army, and now he treats me even more than before."

Ning Wan thinks about it and feels that she is overthinking. Now King Jinghai is using iron and stone. On the surface, he is fighting against the Japanese, but in fact he is also using the power of iron and stone to reorganize those lawless pirates in the past and establish full authority. Thinking about not turning his face, he smiled and said: "I was bitten by a snake once, and I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years. When I mention going to Kashima, I have to think about it."

But Tie Shi said: "It's not wrong for you to think so. Although King Jinghai and we are both from the Central Plains, he is a former royal family after all, and he always has feelings for the court. If there is a change and everyone has different positions, I am afraid that it will fall apart immediately."

The husband and wife discussed for a while, but they didn't figure out what King Jinghai meant, so they had to let Song'er sit in Cangzhou, and Huai Hua'er stayed to guard the house. They also asked them to be careful and discuss things with each other. Went to Kashima with Rong'er.

In the past two years, the Lu family has been to Ludao several times, so they are familiar with it.Tie Shi took his brother-in-law to visit King Jinghai, and Ning Wan and her two young sons were taken in by Bai.

King Jinghai's original wife, the concubine, had passed away long ago, and he did not remarry. Now Bai, who is in charge of the household affairs of the palace, is just one of his many concubines. This woman is the younger sister of General Bai and the aunt of the son.And Shizi's biological mother also died of illness a few years ago.

This aunt Bai is not very old, she is beautiful and generous, she is very capable and agile, she can also speak fluent Mandarin, but she is not Han Chinese, and she was born in an island country in the east, because of her background, King Jinghai He didn't intend to make her a princess.

Aunt Bai let Mrs. Lu into the room to serve tea, said a few gossips and then asked: "Why didn't you bring the pagoda tree? Someone gave a box of rubies last time. The color is very good. I said that this gem is only a pagoda tree. An official lady with a status like Hua'er is worthy of use."

Ning Wan just laughed, "Now that we've all come to Ludao, Song'er stays in the city, so I'll leave her at home to help with the care." In fact, the Ning family never went to Ludao together as a family, or when Tie Shi came. Now, if Ning Wan takes care of the children at home, or leaves Huaihuaer, Songer, and Baier behind, even if King Jinghai is careless, he can only let him be careless.

Aunt Bai might not understand, but she just smiled and said: "Of course Huai Huaer is capable and the family can't live without her, but I really miss her." Then she took out a gold-painted lacquer box and opened it for Ning Wan to see.

The heaviest thing in the capital is the ruby. Compared with other blue-green variegated gemstones, no matter how good the color is, it will eventually be a little worse. Isn't it the color that can represent the noble wife?Now that Ning Wan sees the pure red in her eyes, she doesn't feel any joy in her heart, so she forced a smile and said, "She's a child, what kind of gems are suitable for her!" It happened that the two grandsons of King Jing Hai came to ask Bai Er to play, She quickly got up and grabbed Baier and taught him a lesson: "Take Ronger with you, don't wander around." When she returned to her seat, she started talking about interesting things about Cangzhou.

Aunt Bai listened with a smile, took a moment to ask directly: "What's wrong with our family's eldest son? Isn't he worthy of being the son-in-law of the Lu family?"

When she was in the capital, Ning Wan always felt that she was straightforward and straightforward when interacting with the officials' wives, but when she arrived in Fujian, she realized that people here are even more straightforward when speaking, so she quickly got up and said: "My son, father Xiao, and the prince Generally wise and powerful, how can there be any disadvantages! If they are compatible, our family is not worthy of the palace."

Aunt Bai just laughed, "After our concubine passed away, the lord did not continue the marriage because there was no suitable lady from a famous family. Naturally, the son's marriage should be chosen from a famous family in the Central Plains. Therefore, several beautiful and capable girls in our Bai family cried bitterly. It seems that the prince has taken a fancy to the eldest lady of the Lu family."

Ning Wan couldn't help but blushed, "What kind of a famous family is our family? Huaihua's grandfather and father both came from the army and started their career with military exploits. Her maternal grandfather was from the country and later started a small business to survive. They are not well-known in the capital. "

"Ms. Lu is too humble. There are two generations of military generals in the Lu family, and three generations of the eldest son; even the wife's natal family now has a younger brother who participated in the imperial examination and was born; and your family is married to the Luo family in Jiangnan. Another daughter married into the royal family, isn't that considered a famous family?"

It seemed to make sense, and Ning Wan couldn't refute it for a while.So he said sincerely: "Aunt Bai is a straightforward person, so I will tell the truth, I really don't care about family status. Because Huaihua'er is the first child, Tie Shi and I have been on the top of my heart since we were young. Although there were a few kids later, she was both the only daughter and the most sensible child. Our husband and wife have always attached the most importance to her marriage, not because we want to marry into such a wealthy family, but because we only want her to live a happy life. Be comfortable."

"When a son marries a daughter-in-law, he brings someone into the family. Our family can take good care of his daughter-in-law. Marrying a daughter is different. If you want to send your daughter away, if you are not in front of you, you will be too far away if you have something to do."

Aunt Bai just laughed, "Ms. Lu is too thoughtful. Although our princess has not given birth to an heir, the prince has always respected her very much. We people dare not show our pride in front of the princess. There were one or two who were ignorant before. The barbarian girl, because she was young and beautiful, was a little disrespectful, so the prince directly sent someone to throw him out of the mansion. Even if the son can be raised by my sister and me, it is also because the princess is not in good health, and I nod for my diligence. .”

Ning Wan said: "My lord naturally understands etiquette very well, self-cultivation and Qi family are a model, but Aunt Bai naturally knows that our family is different from other families, Huai Hua'er has never learned how to manage concubines when she was a child, she really dare not respond to Aunt Bai good intentions."

It is true that General Lu does not have any concubines around him, and his elder brother once said that he would not even look at the beauty of the Japanese people.Aunt Bai didn't think about it before, but now she understands, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ning Wan smiled and said: "That's why Tieshi and I thought about showing her a marriage in Liaodong, a military family similar to ours. We don't want wealth, we just want the young couple to live a good life. And we In the future, I will definitely go back to Liaodong, and it will be easy to meet at that time."

Aunt Bai sighed, "It's such a pity."

Although Ning Wan didn't want to marry Huai Hua'er to the crown prince, she actually didn't want to have a rift with the Jinghai palace, so she laughed at this moment: "Since the prince wants to choose a woman with a prominent family background for the crown prince, why don't I invite an old friend from the capital to marry her?" Help me find out? Just relying on the prestige of the Jinghai Palace, I don’t know how many people are willing to marry their daughters over."

Although Aunt Bai is not a princess, she has been in charge of the palace for many years, so she can make the decision. Seeing Mrs. Lu's sincere help, she nodded with a smile, "In that case, please ask Mrs. Lu to inquire about our son. We must choose a virtuous and capable person." Lady."

Ning Wan was originally worried that the Jinghai Palace would not want to marry a high school in the capital because of old grievances, but seeing Aunt Bai's expression, she understood that both King Jinghai himself and his children must marry people from the Central Plains. Concubines like Ji don't care.Therefore, she carefully counted out the families in the capital who matched the status of Prince Jinghai's son one by one, "Although the capital has changed a lot in the past two years, if you think that the families of princes and earls have been passed down from generation to generation, they should be fine. Send the letter to ask."
