In fact, Qi Yu knew very well that the canonization of his wife and concubine was the result of an exchange of interests, not out of the emperor's sincere favor.
However, with such a halo surrounding them, the situation of Yin Tao and Qi Xiao will improve.
Although the Lady of the State does not hold an official position, she is still of a dignified first rank, and cannot be touched by anyone who wants to.
Of course, the person I want to thank the most is Bai Mianshou.
If he hadn't worked hard to make Xuan, how could the Qi family have such good things?
That's right!
In terms of Yin Tao's betrothal gift, he generously gave him a few hundred taels of silver, which was considered as extra money for each other's personal invitation.
As for the political logic involved, Qi Yu had no intention of telling his wife. This was not because the couple did not trust each other, but because he was afraid of affecting her good mood.
At this time, Liu Quan was immersed in the joy shrouded in vanity.
She even thought about the future.
The feudal lady has the special qualification to own her own memorial arch, and it is fully in line with the current etiquette.
So, here comes the problem.
Should this archway be built in Qiongzhou City? Or would it be better to build it in my hometown in Yongchuan Prefecture?
Liu Quan thought for a while and decisively chose the latter.
How wonderful my hometown is, where my parents can be proud of it. If it were built outside, how could my parents’ neighbors see it?
What is the indifference to fame and wealth, what is the disregard for giving up, these are the feelings of a man that only our husband has!
I, Liu Quan, just like to care about things, and I just like to care about them. Moreover, I am so tacky!
Well, that's it.
However, as he thought about it, Liu Quan began to become excited.
"No! I must repair the book for my parents immediately so that they can be happy too!"
"Also, I have to go back to my hometown in Yongchuan this year to implement the National Lady Memorial Arch."
After Qi Yu heard this, he was a little hesitant.
This year is the year for me to go to Beijing to report on my work, so I can't stay in my hometown to spend the New Year's Eve. If I do this, wouldn't I miss my wife's happy event?
"What do you care about? As an official of the imperial court, you naturally have to put official affairs first."
"All right."
Liu Quan smiled and continued: "It was precisely because I happened to meet you for a job in Beishang that I decided to join you.
Is it possible that I have to take up your official time? "
"At that time, you can send me to my hometown in Yongchuan, and then continue northward. Such a journey won't take too much of a detour. And when you come back, you can stay in your hometown to pick me up for the southward journey. That way, you can come back along the way. Yet?"
"That's fine!" Qi Yu nodded first and then said: "Since I'm going back to my hometown, why not let my mother go with me and leave her alone here, where will I feel at ease? Besides, there are many of her. I haven’t been back to my hometown in years, and I often think about missing my uncle, so it’s really time to go back and visit.”
Speaking of Uncle Zhou, Qi Dalang couldn't help but sigh, feeling so sad that he couldn't help himself.
Is his old man's body still strong? Are you living a comfortable life?
Seeing that her husband was getting more and more sad, Liu Quan quickly comforted him and said, "Ms., today is a happy day, so don't think about those unhappy things anymore."
Well, we don’t want to think about it anymore!
Qi Yu hurriedly adjusted his mood and put a smile on his face again. With his wife's step-by-step guidance, he gradually entered the state of excitement that comes with happy events.
How beautiful this world is!
Ambition is rewarded, there is a good wife at home, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
"Well, since we've met a big happy event, how can your husband not make some special gestures?"
"Oh? How do you plan to express it, sir?"
Qi Yu blinked and said thoughtfully, "How about we try the legendary '中' character game today?"
Liu Quan heard this and said curiously: "What is the '中' character method? I have never heard of it."
"Haha..." Qi Yu smiled strangely and said: "Our Chinese culture is broad and profound, and there are some pictographic elements in it. Take the word '中' as an example. It consists of a mouth plus a vertical line. Composite composition..."
Liu Quan let out a sudden 'Ah', and a thick blush immediately climbed onto her cheeks.
My husband, the older you get, the more immoral you become~~
Just as the operation of the '中' calligraphy was about to be performed, someone suddenly heard the door outside the courtyard being knocked.
Listening to the voice, it seemed that he was in a hurry.
No need to guess, something important must have happened.
Upon seeing this, Liu Quan quickly pushed her husband away and urged him: "Don't be too tired, you should hurry up and meet the Yamen! They came so late to report, there must be something important to repay."
well……
All right!
Qi Dalang reluctantly stopped thinking about his crotch and hurried from the bedroom to the living room.
"Report to Mr. Qi, according to reports from scouts, a very large fleet has passed through the Dawan Strait and is currently heading towards the south of Qiongzhou Island. According to Mr. Fu Xian's observation, the main leaders of this fleet are as follows Relevant important officials in the West."
"Besides these, is there anything else?"
"Yes! According to the fleet's inadvertent revelation when they were secretly replenishing supplies in Yangcheng Mansion, the purpose of their trip was Tianzhu."
"What? Tianzhu..."
After hearing this, a bold guess came to Qi Yu's mind.
Looking at this gesture, the emperor seems to be taking action.
The basis for this is that there was news not long ago that Emperor Jianwu seemed to have appeared in Tianzhu, and so on.
Of course, this must be a smoke bomb deliberately released by the old monk Huiguo.
The intention is naturally to try to attract the attention of the current emperor, and then relieve Qiongzhou from the pressure of being monitored. At the same time, this was also the high-five agreement I had made with him.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"What should I do...let me think about it."
Qi Yu pondered for a while and said: "Immediately send an order to all the troops under your jurisdiction not to act rashly. If they encounter this fleet head-on, they must avoid it and give way. If they come to ask for help, everything will be granted." ."
"yes!"
"Also! We order the military forces of all parties not to deliberately inquire about the fleet's whereabouts and motives. They must pretend not to know anything about it. Everyone should do whatever they need to do, as if they don't exist."
"yes!"
After issuing the military order, Qi Yu hurriedly wrote a book for Duan Zicheng, asking him to make relevant preparations.
In principle, there is only one, and they must cooperate unconditionally with the imperial court's voyage to the West. Not only should they not obstruct it, but they must also help as much as possible.
In short, let them focus all their energy on the Tianzhu area without any distractions.
After finishing the book, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh: At the beginning, he tried his best to persuade His Majesty to stop this unnecessary move that wasted people and money. However, when it comes to oneself, it is a different position.
This time, that time.
