The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 44

These days, because Wei was pregnant and unable to serve, he gave the dowry maid to Lou Jianyu as a general room. The maid originally looked dull, but who expected it to be very popular with Lou Jianyu. These few days, she simply has the main room. He didn’t enter anymore, just rested in the wing room with the maid, which made Wei’s more uneasy.

“Bring Chuntao, too.” Wei Shi was busy packing things, but the maid from the common room was still resting in the wing, and she suddenly stopped getting angry.

“Madam, please calm down, the grandpa is still in the wing, and Chuntao can’t make it,” Wei’s close mother persuaded, “Chuntao was brought from Yongning Bo’s house anyway, so let your wife take care of it. Just leave in the beginning of spring. Yes, if the grandfather of the country takes in other concubine rooms, it will be even more difficult to manage.”

When Lou Jing returned to the mansion, he saw that the people in the mansion were lazy and didn’t mean to send his wife away. He could not help but sneered and walked into the upper courtyard.

“It’s been three poles in the day, and you are still so tired. If you delay your wife’s itinerary, can you afford it?” Lou Jing sat in the main hall and reprimanded the supervisor of the upper house.

“My son, my wife is just going to a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, and she will have to leave in the afternoon.” The steward hurriedly said with a smile.

A farm in the suburbs of Beijing? Lou Jing squinted his eyes. He originally said he would go to Fu County, but now why has it become a suburb of Beijing?

“What are you doing here?” Lou Jianyu didn’t get angry when he saw this son. “If you don’t work in the yamen at this time, you are not afraid that others will **** your Zuo commander.”

“The son heard that his wife is going to Fuxian today, and he specifically confessed to Qingyang Bo.” Lou Jing smiled and took out a hundred taels of rituals and put them on the table.

Hearing Fuxian, Lou Jianyu’s face felt a little uncontrollable, and he answered vaguely.

Wei Shi just packed his things and came over. When he saw Lou Jing here, his expression changed. He sat down calmly and said something polite to Lou Jing.

“It’s getting late, Madam get into the carriage soon. This is a long way, so I can send Madam myself.” Lou Jing was impatient with their nonsense, got up and adjusted his clothes, and asked someone to lead his horse.

Wei Shi was a little panicked now, and hurriedly pushed the building to see Yu Yu.

Lou Jian Yu Qing coughed: “Fuxian County is remote, and the lady is weak and can’t bear the cold. I’m the master, and I live in a rural farm. You don’t have to go to send it.”

“The two farms in the suburbs, one is next to Uncle Qingyang’s ancestor field, and the other is the horse racing village next to the third prince. Does my father want to throw his face in front of my Shangfeng or to the royal family?” Lou Jing smiled nonchalantly. Look at the floor and see Yu.

Lou Jianyu felt a little bit in his heart. He was persuaded by the Wei family and Tongfang to say that Fu County is remote, not conducive to raising the body, not good for mother and child, and he is the grandfather of the country in this mansion. He wanted to listen to his son, so he agreed to let Wei live in the suburbs of Beijing.

“The three princes may not go to run a horse in half a year, and if the concubine is in the Zhuangzi, how can the prince run into it?” She never wanted to go, staying on the outskirts of Beijing, she could still manage the Mid-Year Festival at home, and what could be helped by her natal family. When she went to Fu County, a hundred miles away, she said Tian Tian should not call the land. The ground is not working.

Lou Jing stopped talking, just sat in the main hall, drinking tea slowly.

In the end, Lou Jianyu made a decision and sent the Wei family to Fuxian directly, and then sent someone to pick him up in March.

Lou Jing just said that naturally he would not really send Wei Clan, and called Gao Yi to take care of him all the way to make sure that Wei Clan was sent to Fuxian, while he went to Beiya leisurely and waited for the **** to get off the job. At that time, I found Bo Qingyang and went to the Zuixianlou for a drink.

“The harvest in the Zhuangzi this year is not very good,” Qing Yangbo sighed after drinking for three rounds, and began to talk to Lou Jing about his family’s general affairs. “Is the old man selling horses in the northwest in the past, can he still do it now? “

Lou Jing shook his head and said, “The emperor made an order two years ago to supervise horse sales. Didn’t you send a horseman?”

“Why, that person can still be in charge of Anguo?” Uncle Qingyang clinked glasses with him, quite a little bit incredulous. I heard that the horse stewardship was a second-grade official position, and you quite recently elected one and didn’t listen to much. Those who have said that have not heard of any political achievements in the past two years.

“It’s not all in charge, it’s just…” Lou Jing drank all the wine in his glass and raised his hand to fill Qingyang Bo. “No matter what you buy or sell, you must pay 30% of the profit.”

“Thirty percent profit!” Qingyang Bo exclaimed, this is too cruel, so ridiculed, there is no profit.

“If Uncle Shi has spare money, there is a deal to do recently.” Lou Jing smiled and said in a low voice.

“Let’s talk about it.” Qingyang Bo immediately became interested. He knew that Lou Jing would not talk about it, saying that if there is a business, it must be a good business.

Lou Jing bent his eyes and moved closer to Uncle Qingyang, “Repair the river.”

The river business is too big, even Shen Lian can’t do it alone. Since Lou Jing wanted to take part, he simply pulled a few more important people in. As a young man, he became inconspicuous.

Hearing this, Uncle Qingyang was really excited, and took Lou Jing to talk about it carefully.

The two hit it off, and they talked happily. While talking and laughing, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the elegant room next door, which was very lively. Uncle Qingyang’s young man went to check it and came back to report that there were many honorable people next door, and the fourth prince Xiao Chengzheng was among them.

The four princes? Lou Jing raised his eyebrows. Since he met on the second day after he was married, the fourth prince who looked silly and stunned has never visited the East Palace again. Didn’t it mean that he was not sociable?

“The prince was abolished, except for the frail King Jing, and these four princes are the most likely to inherit the Datong,” Uncle Qingyang whispered to Lou Jing, “not to blame these people for flattering him like this.”

Lou Jing chuckled, “Uncle Shi also wants to join in the fun?”

“Hey, I’ll do it, there are young people in that room.” Uncle Qing Yang shook his head and continued to clink glasses with Lou Jing.

Lou Jing looked at Qingyang Bo, and followed by a toast. Today, the four princes are infatuated with little nobles, such as Qingyang Bo, who has real power, but will not make money. Suddenly remembered such a sentence, the higher the hold, the worse the fall. I don’t know whether the person behind this is Chen Guifei or the empress.

A few days later, Jingnan Hou brought the whole family back to Beijing, and the emperor gave a banquet to receive the dust.

In another two days, the queen asked for an order to go to Jingnan Houfu Province, and Emperor Chunde also approved.

Xiao Chengjun and the four princes, as princes raised in the name of the queen, accompany the queen to the Jingnan Marquis.

In Jingnan, the beards and hair are all white, but the old and strong, the look is undiminished, and the young and old knelt to greet each other, “The minister welcomes the queen to come.”

“Hurry up and get rid of the gift.” Ji Zhuo got out of the chariot, walked up quickly, and helped his old father up.

When the father and son met, they were speechless for a while. Behind him, the elder of Jingnan, who is the queen’s elder brother, Ji Pu hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Hurry up and welcome the queen in.”

Jingnan finally reacted and took the queen to the mansion in person, while Ji Zhu accompanied the two brothers Xiao Chengjun to follow.

“The son is not filial, so he can’t always serve his father…” When he arrived in the hall, holding back from left and right, Ji Jue leaned back and knelt in front of Jingnanhou.

“Don’t say so,” Jingnan Hou hurriedly stepped forward and helped the queen to get up. “It’s my father that can’t help you.” A pair of eagle eyes that resemble the queen suddenly became red. Back then, forced to marry his second son to the royal family, he did not expect that the current emperor didn’t like men’s appearance.

“A good man protects his family and the country wherever he is. The son is just doing a special job. Father doesn’t say that.” Ji Zhuo smiled, and there was no haze on his face.

Xiao Chengjun watched this scene with a little emotion. After all, the man was wronged by marrying another man, but the man took the initiative to marry him. This affection is really worthy of his life.

The Ji family gathered together to reminisce about the past, and Xiao Chengjun took the fourth prince to the warm pavilion next door under the pretext of going out to breathe.

“I can’t greet you well, I hope the two of your Highnesses don’t blame it.” Ji Zhen followed out and arranged refreshments, and said guiltily.

“Uncle is polite.” The fourth prince Xiao Chengzheng said honestly.

The three were polite. Xiao Chengjun asked Ji Zhu to go with the queen for a long time. The two of their brothers were drinking tea here, and Ji Zhu called his eldest son to accompany him.

“Brother Dahuang, there have always been honoraries and officials who come to me for a drink recently, without telling me what it is for.” Xiao Chengzheng asked Xiao Chengjun quietly while the young master of the Ji family was not here.

Xiao Chengjun glanced at him, narrowing his eyes slightly, “Xu is to make friends with you.”

Xiao Chengzheng wanted to say something else, the Ji family eldest master had already entered, so he stopped talking.

Quietly sipping tea, watching the four princes and the Ji family elder master laughing at Yan Yan, Xiao Chengjun lowered his eyes. This fourth emperor only knew how to practice martial arts on horseback. However, the generals do have good talkers, such as Lou Jing.

Thinking of that guy, the corners of Xiao Chengjun’s lips turned up slightly unchecked. The Fourth Emperor’s brother has always been close to him, perhaps he was careless.

After the luncheon banquet, the queen asked the four princes to accompany him around the garden, but threw His Royal Highness Minwang in the front hall.

The four princes smiled and took their father’s queen and walked to the back garden of Ji’s house. Since the crown prince was abolished, Xiao Chengzheng feels that he has received a lot more attention than before, and even his father’s queen has become more amiable than before. This made him feel pity for the emperor’s brother, but he couldn’t help but cheer.

Xiao Chengjun stared at the back of the queen and the four princes, sitting in the pavilion and drinking tea slowly. Not long after, Jingnan waited over and said, “The veteran got a set of glazed horses in the southeast. .”

“It’s a great honor.” Xiao Chengjun got up and went to the study with Jingnan.

In the evening, when he returned to the Mansion of Minwang, Xiao Chengjun locked himself in the study. Of course, this kind of closing method, of course, can’t stop someone who comes over the wall.

“What is this?” Lou Jing leaned over and looked at the cowhide roll on the table curiously. After reading it, he was taken aback. There was a map on the cowhide roll. He could naturally see that this was the terrain in the southeast.

“What can you see?” Xiao Chengjun didn’t stop him, letting him see.

“Here, and here, is the land of Tibetan soldiers,” Lou Jing stretched out his hand and pointed to several marks on the map. “Here, it’s a farm.”

The two looked at each other quietly, without words, to know the meaning.

The forces in the southeast stayed in place almost untouched by Jingnan Hou, and gave them all to him this afternoon. Xiao Chengjun sighed, and the queen’s father was so kind as a mountain to him.

Lou Jing curled his lips and stretched out his hand to fish Xiao Chengjun, who was deeply moved, into his arms, “What’s the matter, I will draw Jinzhou’s defense cloth for you someday.”

Xiao Chengjun raised his eyes to look at him, and chuckled helplessly, “The king thanked you first.”

“Don’t thank you first,” Lou Jing bared his teeth, “you should thank you personally.”
