The Marquis of Lu and the Duke of Lu have always been indifferent. Mu Anzhi did have the intention of winning over the Marquis of Lu before he came to Northern Xinjiang. However, he did not expect that the two families looked at each other in a way that could not be described as "cold". Looking at it now,
It's almost like there is a grudge.
As for whether Marquis Lu deliberately acted to show his loyalty to him... of course that is possible, but is this wrong? Mu Anzhi and Duke Lu are of the same generation, and if Marquis Lu and Duke Lu's government secretly flirt with each other, then
It must be Mu An's innermost concern.
It seems that Marquis Lu also anticipated this.
Marquis Lu intended to show his goodwill, and Mu Anzhi was naturally happy. Mu Anzhi was strong and fiery, and he did not want to be an enemy of a general stationed on the border like Marquis Lu.
Mu Anzhi talked about the tribes he passed through, "I didn't plan to do this at first. Along the way, merchants often talked about the grassland scenery and trade. The princess was very interested when she heard it, and asked about a few larger tribes. We took advantage of the opportunity
We opened the market and also met with the clan leaders of each tribe. Otherwise, we would have summoned them to meet them when we arrived in Xinyi."
Lu Hou said, "The customs and folk customs of each tribe are different. I have some documents and materials here. I will sort them out tomorrow and send them to your highness. Your highness will be relieved to see them. The northern Xinjiang has exotic customs, but it is also a vast world. With that,
Your Highness’s abilities will surely be put to good use.”
"We still need Marquis Lu's help." Mu Anzhi smiled.
"I have been in Northern Xinjiang for a day, and I have been driven by Your Highness." Lu Hou said, "I have also prepared some gifts for the princess."
"You can't do this. You should give me a gift first."
"What belongs to the empress is different from that of His Highness."
Mu Anzhi was very happy to hear this, and asked about this dome-domed mansion, "I see that this house has neat rooms, white pillars and vaults, and is magnificent. Whose house is this?"
"It was originally the palace of the rebel king of Northern Xinjiang. Later, when I stationed troops in Northern Xinjiang, the imperial court allowed me to live in it. This house was too big, so I only borrowed a few of the courtyards, and other places were not suitable for the generals nearby.
Come in. Now that His Highness is here, I will naturally invite His Highness to stay here. I usually stay in military camps."
"Then you have to have a place to stay in the imperial capital, right?"
"The Yamen of the General's Mansion has been renovated. It will be the same where I live." Lu Hou strongly recommended this palace to Mu Anzhi. "After I moved out of this house, I specially asked Mr. Bai to watch the decoration and decoration."
Marquis Lu then added, "If His Highness is dissatisfied with anything, it's the same as waiting for the spring to bloom before repairing it or rebuilding the palace."
Actually, Marquis Lu wanted to say, if His Highness still has money, we might as well buy some more high-quality horses.
Therefore, I was just being polite when I said that the palace had just been renovated.
Mu Anzhi was outspoken and said bluntly, "This palace is quite big. What else should be built? As for whether to repair it or not, it is up to the princess to decide. I think the roads in the city are not very good. If you have money, you might as well build them."
Marquis Lu couldn't help but say, "There are many things that need to be added to the army. I will present them in a moment."
"Sure." Mu Anzhihun didn't care, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Mu Anzhi thought carefully and asked Marquis Lu, "If your letter is submitted to His Majesty, you and the Duke's office will have no room for change. Otherwise, please be more cautious."
There was a mixture of disgust and relief in Marquis Lu's expression, "No need. It was not easy before. Now that Your Highness is here, there is no need to worry."
The profound meaning of this sentence would only be understood later by Mu Anzhi.
Marquis Lu was very happy for Mu Anzhi's arrival, especially since Mu An had to sacrifice ten thousand horses on his journey. Although five thousand horses were allocated to the Guards, only five thousand were left for the Northern Xinjiang Army. Marquis Lu did not mind it at all.
Young Master. In this place in Northern Xinjiang, there is a shortage of people like His Highness who can handle money!
When Marquis Lu left, Mu Anzhi was still thinking that he had never interacted with him in the past, but now he looked good to Marquis Lu.
The heavy snow was swirling in the wind, and the umbrella was not meant to be held up, but to be erected diagonally like a shield to withstand the snow flakes blowing from the wind. Mu Anzhi was holding the umbrella, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard two women shouting loudly.
The laughter was loud again. The two sisters grew up in the countryside. They were natural in nature and had no great restraint. Even though they later learned to pay attention to the rules, they would still dance and laugh out loud when they were happy.
The maid opened the thick felt curtain, Mu Anzhi threw down the umbrella, and Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pat the snow flakes on his body. Mu Anzhi waved his hand and went into the back room, where he saw Li Yuhua and Bai Muxiang sitting cross-legged on the small kang by the window.
, with a soft fur blanket covering her legs, Pei Ruyu was in the chair under the Kang, and the three of them were sitting around talking. Pei Ruyu saw Mu Anzhi coming in, and stood up with a smile to greet him, while Li Yuhua had a warm pink color on his face and eyes.
He was full of joy and said to Mu Anzhi, "Third brother, you are back. Sister Muxiang and I won't go down. Third brother, please come and sit down."
"Don't move, don't move." Mu Anzhi sat on the edge of the kang. Knowing that his old friend was always very particular, he said to his old friend, "Don't sit down on the kang either. Let's all sit on the kang. This northern Xinjiang is very difficult."
Cold."
Pei Ruyu smiled and sat down on the edge of the kang. Now he is doing as the Romans do. Before, he felt that my brother was not here. Although my wife was also on the kang, after all, there were brothers and wives on the kang. It was not good for me to get up. Now my brother is here.
Yes, this makes it happen.
"Why are you so happy?"
"Tell me about what happened on the way here." Li Yuhua's face lit up with excitement, "I already felt that our fiefdom was huge when I looked at the map sent by the Ministry of War. How big it is, I really have to walk there myself
, I found out after I measured it with my feet, my God, Sister Muxiang!" She held Sister Muxiang's hand excitedly, conveying the emotion that only the two sisters could understand, "After leaving customs, remove those things that delay the opening of the market.
It takes a month to reach Xinyi. This is the territory of me and my third brother. This is really a good place!"
Bai Muxiang was also happy for her sisters, "That's right. Ruyu has always said that His Majesty will seal Northern Xinjiang to you. I thought I would seal a city to you, but I didn't expect that the entire Northern Xinjiang would be sealed to you. Oh my god,
When I think about it now, it feels like a dream. Xiaohua, when we first started doing business, our ambition was to earn a lot of money, and then each of us would buy a hundred acres of land so that we could live happily as landlords. Look at you now.
Even if you give birth to 10,000 sons, you will have a place to live!”
Li Yuhua sounded very happy when he heard the first words, but became angry when he heard the latter words. He pouted and said, "I don't even have a son now." Then he said jealously, "It's obvious that you have a son, isn't it?
You said it on purpose to make me jealous!"
"Look at you, look at you, if you say anything wrong you will lose face. Why are you so anxious, but I can't blame you." Bai Muxiang said and glanced at Mu Anzhi, meaning that it was all Mu Anzhi's fault. Bai Muxiang
Xiang is a person who can't keep her worries to herself. Fortunately, she is not a quick-tempered person. Since having Axiu, her temper has become calmer. Bai Muxiang calmly said to Mu An, "Your Highness, please don't dislike me."
This mother-in-law speaks outright, but you are really annoying others. Aren’t you annoying us, Xiaohua?"
Mu Anzhi did something unreasonable back then, and now his family is being held accountable. Mu Anzhi really couldn't find the words to explain. He kept looking at Pei Ruyu: Come on, brother, say something for me!
Pei Ruyu seemed to be deaf and had no feelings for Bai Muxiang's words. He was also like a blind man, not seeing Mu Anzhi's eyes asking for help. He stretched out his beautiful neck to leisurely admire the gorgeous patterns of the tapestry on the wall.
The milk tea on the small white clay stove on the ground was simmering, and the fragrance of milk tea was coming out. Mu Anzhi suddenly became alert, coughed lightly, picked up the copper pot for making milk tea, and said softly, "I heard that our house
Sister Muxiang, you looked at cleaning them up. It’s really hard, Sister Muxiang. Sister, do you still want to drink tea? Come on, I have to pour you a cup. This milk tea is also prepared for us in advance, sister. This tea is delicious.
It smells so good.”
When she brought up the milk tea on the white clay stove, she refilled it for Sister Muxiang and then for her own wife. Sister Muxiang was also a person who couldn't help but flatter and was careless. She immediately beamed and thanked His Highness the Third Highness for the refill of milk tea. Then she turned to
The boss then said to Li Yuhua, "Look how well His Highness treats you. When you are all settled here, I will give you Axiu to take care of for a few days. People say that taking care of a child will bring you good fortune."
Li Yuhua and Sister Muxiang grew up in the same environment. She believed in this statement and immediately agreed, "Don't wait any longer. I will personally go pick Axiu up tomorrow and see Aunt Hongmei. Hey,
How can she be so lucky?" Aunt Hongmei, who taught Li Yuhua the knowledge about wrong couples, unexpectedly saw the second spring of plum blossoms blooming after arriving in northern Xinjiang, and then gave birth to a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix.
Li Yuhua's eyes shone with envy when he heard this, thinking about going to learn from Aunt Hongmei tomorrow. Why is it so easy for other people to have children, but she doesn't have any!
It just makes me anxious to death.
Bai Muxiang said, "You don't need to go. My mother said she would come to see you, but today there are mostly people from the officialdom and people with imperial orders who want to come to pay their respects to you. Hey, it's true that my mother also came to see you, and she was very happy when she just got the imperial order.
, showing off all day long, even taking out the imperial uniform to wear when not going out at home. Now that the imperial examination has been for a long time, I am not so excited. The twins cannot live without her, so she will tell her to come over, and then I will take the twins.
I also brought him here, although he is not as smart and sensible as my Axiu, he is still very interesting."
Pei Ruyu simply couldn't stand listening, "Don't always praise Axiu. Children who praise too much can easily become proud."
Sister Muxiang said calmly, "It's okay. Anyway, it's your job to educate your son. I will be a good person in front of my son. If I praise you too much, just put on a fierce face and hit me. That'll be fine."
"
Pei Ruyu stammered angrily, "I, I, I also want to be a good father."
"Who says a strict father is not a good father? It is said in books that a strict father is a loving mother. We have to follow the book. The stricter you are, the more your children will respect you." Sister Muxiang still looked determined and sincere.
Looking at her husband, she said, "Axiu likes you, I really do." Although she is still a little bit worse than she likes me.
Li Yuhua gave his third brother a wink. Look, even though Pei Zhuangyuan was born as a top scholar, he may not be able to do it better than Sister Muxiang. My Sister Muxiang is simply a god. A shrewd and calculating person like Li Yuhua is very impressed.
hers.
The two families had dinner together at noon that day. It got dark early in Northern Xinjiang and the wind and snow were heavy today. After lunch and a break, Pei Ruyu and Bai Muxiang left. On the way, Pei Ruyu complained to his wife, "You too,
Without telling me, I sent our Axiu away. Although I know that the princess loves the child very much, I was not prepared at all."
"What preparations do you want? I see Xiaohua looking forward to the child so much. Besides, I feel like it's happening again." Bai Muxiang touched her flat belly and said to her husband.
Pei Ruyu immediately threw the chubby paper Axiu behind her head and stared at her wife's belly with burning eyes. There was no one else in the car. Pei Ruyu stretched out her hand and touched it. She couldn't find anything through the thick sweater. She felt so happy in her heart.
But he couldn't stop the gurgling coming out, and asked what all expectant fathers would say, "Really?"
"Well, I haven't had it since last month. I had a fetal dream yesterday. I dreamed of a very cool little pony in the snow. It swooped into my arms. This is a fetal dream.
." Bai Muxiang has given birth once and is no stranger to pregnancy. Pei Ruyu has already taken his wife's wrist and covered it with her parallel fingers.
Slowly, the joy on his handsome face could no longer be suppressed, "It looks a bit like a happy pulse. Maybe it's a little younger. I'll ask Uncle Qi to help me with the diagnosis when I go back." Then, he said very unconscionably, "Then let me
Ahxiu, come here, the older the boy is, the more troublesome he is. It would be great if you can bring some good news to the Princess and the others."
In fact, Li Yuhua has been silent. Not only Bai Muxiang is worried, but Pei Ruyu is also worried. In his heart, His Highness the Third Highness is the future monarch, and as the ruler, naturally the more luxuriant the children are, the better. And Pei Ruyu is the emperor of the country.
He traditionally and insistently believes that the son's interest is the direct descendant's son's interest.
No matter at any time or in any status, it is unfortunate for a legitimate wife to have no children. No matter how many concubines there are, how can they be the same as legitimate children? The etiquette and laws are completely different!
What's more, the relationship between the third prince's concubine and his own daughter-in-law is like that of biological sisters.
Therefore, even if Pei Ruyu wanted to give his son to the prince and concubine to ensure the good fortune of his children, Pei Ruyu would still be willing to do so.
