After Luo Chuan, the prefect of Li County, returned to the palace from outside the palace, he sat alone on the steps in front of the main palace hall for a long time. Except for Gao Shixian, who had finished handling matters and returned to the front palace, he carefully handed him some soft cushions.
No one dared to come near the hot tea, not even the tall figure who was always inseparable like a real shadow, was never around him.
No one knows what difficulties the governor encountered outside, but everyone knows that the governor may be in a really bad mood this time.
After sitting there until sunset, Luo Chuan finally got up.
He patted his butt, stretched, watched the tall and low houses outside the palace gate gradually fade away from the sunlight, turned around and strode towards the harem.
On the morning of the second day, as usual, the civil and military officials stated what happened in various parts of the county and the problems they encountered one by one, among which the prefect himself was required to
The identified issues were resolved one by one, and it was almost noon.
After the court meeting dispersed, Luochuan left no civil and military officials to have a banquet. Everyone came and went in a hurry, and no one stayed to talk to the prefect, except Luo Jiang.
So Luochuan simply sat on the throne of the prefect and did not leave. When only the two of them were left in the hall, he waved his hand and asked Gao Shixian and others to exit. He moved his neck and walked down step by step, asking,
"Do you have free time again today?"
Luo Jiang took a few steps forward and sat side by side with Luo Chuan on the lowest step in the hall. "It's still about the Lu family girl. As you revised and finalized the military strategy with the Military Affairs Office yesterday, the prefect will not be here soon."
The news that you will marry the daughter of the head of Tingfeng Pavilion as the Lady of the East Palace has spread in a small area. You know that many people inside and outside the Military Affairs Office are actually related to General Lu, so everyone is a little worried about the Lu family girl.
.”
He looked at Luo Chuan, who was obviously unconcerned, and said in a more serious tone, "Now this news is only spread in a very small circle related to the Military Affairs Office, but soon, soon, you know, this will be everyone.
What do we all know about the Taiming War Zone, or all the generals and soldiers who have left Taiming? Add to this the fact that General Lu was granted the title of Grand Protector, and all kinds of opinions will fly all over the sky.
Got it!"
Luochuan remained silent.
Luo Jiang became a little angry, "I know that you are the prefect, so you can ignore these things, but I don't understand. That girl from the Lu family is dignified and elegant, with a pure heart and a pure heart. She was taught extremely well by General Lu and his wife.
No matter how picky and mean you are, you can't say anything bad, so why are you unwilling? You are just a wife of the West Palace. Since you can marry the daughter of the head of Tingfeng Pavilion, who you have only met a few times, why do you have to drag it out?
Do you want to marry her or not? She is an old acquaintance of yours since you were a hostage in Zhongjing City!"
"Uncle Jiang, it's not that I can't, but that I don't want to," Luo Chuan sighed softly and finally said, "It's not like I can't see how good Sister Sifan is. What's more, she has such a rare family relationship with me. I sincerely
She treats her as a younger sister, so he doesn't want to wrong her." He looked at Luo Jiang and said seriously, "How old is she? How many men has she met? No matter how smart she is, she can already turn her life around
Have you thought about important matters clearly????????????????????????????
"I know you are going to say that she wants Taiming to be stable and the Lu family to be stable. This is a good idea, but I have said many times that these things are not something that a little girl like her should bear, and I don't need it now.
She has to bear these things. She doesn't have to marry me. I can naturally tolerate Lu Dongfeng, and I can tolerate the entire Taiming." Luo Chuan raised his chin slightly, "I just want her to be like an ordinary little girl.
How wonderful would it be to grow up happily, find a man who fills her heart and eyes with joy, and then marry herself, not because of other people or other reasons, but because she likes it herself?!"
】
He looked at Luo Jiang who was a little stunned and said slowly, "This is my reward for her, for this sister Sifan, and for Lu Dongfeng's years of service to Lijun."
Luo Jiang was speechless for a while, then he let out a long breath, then stared at Luo Chuan's face carefully for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Are you not the fake prefect that Yaoyi got for us with his transformation technique?!"
This time it was Luochuan's turn to be speechless.
Luo Jiang folded his hands together and slapped his palms with the backs of his hands, "Since ancient times, for thousands of years..." He was a little at a loss for words, and then said loudly, "How can you be so reasonable? This
Let's just say it here today, if it gets out, won't the Lu family girl and even General Lu's family become the laughing stock of the world?!"
"Master Taishou!" Luo Jiang said with some hatred for iron. "Since she sneaked from Taiming City to Licheng City, she has already bet some things from the girl's family. By the time you are in the Civil and Military Examinations,
When the civil and military officials of the court spoke of her like that, she no longer had any other options in the eyes of the world. She could either marry into the prefecture of Li County and become his wife, or she could only die alone. Who could do it?
Dare you marry her again?!"
Luo Chuan said in surprise, "What happened during the civil and military exams? Is it inappropriate for me to let her sit behind me with Siqi? Then don't I have to marry Siqi?!"
Luo Jiang just looked at Luo Chuan silently, until Luo Chuan felt a little frightened in his heart, he sighed and said, "Siqi is not so lucky, I know, but the matter of the Lu family girl is really not trivial. If you weren't
If you really dislike her, then listen to my advice and marry the daughter of the head of Tingfeng Pavilion as the wife of the West Palace..."
??????????????? Luochuan felt a mixture of emotions in his heart for a moment, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Luo Jiang added, "I have also talked with Mr. Dou Qiushi about this matter. According to etiquette and law, after an unmarried eunuch ascends the throne, the first person to marry should be the wife of the palace.
The whole county celebrates the wedding with a ceremony. After that, if there is a very suitable and suitable person, he will marry the lady of the East Palace or the Lady of the West Palace. The wedding ceremony is not big, and the rest of the harem are usually just concubines. You are not married now.
It would be somewhat inconsistent with etiquette for the wife of the main palace to marry the wives of the East and West palaces first. The elders of the clan can first come forward to send conquest gifts to Tingfeng Pavilion and General Lu's Mansion, and then welcome the two ladies to temporarily live in the Luo Family Courtyard near the palace, and wait until the wife of the main palace.
At the time of the wedding, the ladies from the East and West Palaces will be welcomed into the palace together. In this way, the status and righteousness have been decided, the marriage is only a matter of time, and the people of the world will no longer be able to talk nonsense."
Luo Chuan felt as if a big stone was pressing on his heart. He didn't know why, but he just felt very uncomfortable. He thought of the person who should still be leaving the city now, but he didn't know where he was, and then he shook quickly.
Head, looking towards the north, "Tonight... there should be a result..."
Luo Jiang didn't know what he was talking about, so he immediately followed his gaze and looked a little worried in his eyes, "Yes, it should be tonight, but it will take two or three days at the earliest for the news to come back."
Luochuan just stared at the North in a daze for a while, then opened his mouth and spit out one word.
