"Second sister-in-law, let's go in if we have something to say! This is not a good place to talk!" Just when Jia asked in confusion and eagerly, Cheng Yaojin on the side went directly to Qin Qiong and Jia to remind them. , and at the same time, his eyes glanced around.
At this time, there were already many people standing in the distance to watch, and there were also some officials who looked like they were whispering something to each other. Although they couldn't hear it, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others could guess it without delay. They were probably all. I'm guessing what happened to Duke Yi Guo, that he was actually sent back to his house by a carriage. Moreover, Du Junchuo and other tall-backed guards were standing beside the carriage. With that kind of attire, he was considered unparalleled in Chang'an City. No one knows it, no one knows it anymore.
Some officials are even speculating whether the Duke of Yi, Qin Qiong, the Second Master of Qin, offended Lu Chen, the Duke of Chang'an County, and was punished by Lu Chen before being sent back in a carriage. After all, Lu Chen was These people consider themselves "people with criminal records". On that day, they demolished the mansion of Zheng Shanguo, the Minister of Rites, Darao, in full public view. Those aristocratic families are now unable to do anything about the Chang'an County Duke!
Under Cheng Yaojin's reminder, everyone naturally noticed the crowd of onlookers around them. Qin Qiong and Jia Shi nodded, and at the same time greeted Du Junchuo and the Weiwei soldiers. Along with the escort of the Beiwei Guard soldiers and the support of his wife Jia Shi, they entered the Yiguo Duke's Mansion through the corner gate.
Naturally, Yan Laoqi took the carriage to a suitable place and took care of it. When Du Junchuo and others left, they had to take the carriage back to Lujiazhuang.
After entering Duke Yi's mansion, Qin Qiong was directly helped to the bedroom by Mrs. Jia. After Qin Qiong lay down on her side to rest, Mrs. Jia turned around and left the bedroom, taking her maid to the front hall. At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Du Jun Chuo is sitting here drinking tea. Since going to Lujiazhuang, Qin Qiong has also been given a lot of tea by Lu Chen, so Qin Qiong no longer drinks the tea soup, and Lu Chen also told Qin Qiong that these greasy things, Qin Qiong has been avoiding food recently.
"I wonder what I call this general?" Mrs. Jia came to the front hall and saluted Du Junchuo and asked.
"I am Du Junchuo, the deputy commander of the Beiwei Guard under the command of the Duke of Chang'an County!" Seeing that Jia was saluting him, this was the wife of Duke Yi Guo, Du Junchuo hurriedly stood up to return the salute and replied respectfully.
"It turns out he is a general under the command of Lord Lu County!" Mrs. Jia looked at Du Junchuo. He was in his twenties and looked very talented. Plus, he was wearing a majestic guard uniform with a high back and a unique design designed by Lu Chen. Why? Seeing how energetic he was, Jia secretly praised him.
"I am here to thank Mr. Su Guogong and Commander Du for escorting me!" Mrs. Jia bowed to Cheng Yaojin and Du Junchuo again.
"Second sister-in-law, you can't do this!" Although it was nothing for him to accept this gift from Jia as Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin still stood up and returned the courtesy, "Our old Cheng didn't do much in this matter. I’m just escorting my second brother on the order of King Qin!”
Du Junchuo on the side also returned the courtesy and said: "I was also ordered by my county prince to protect Duke Yi. How dare you take credit!"
"You two don't have to be too modest. I have to thank you for this protective gesture! I am a woman, so it would be very difficult for me to meet His Highness the King of Qin and Mr. Lu. I can only let you thank the King of Qin and Mr. Lu on my behalf. Thank you for your kindness!" Mrs. Jia waved to the outside of the front hall, and immediately two maids came in holding two wooden boxes, "Although our Yiguo Duke's Mansion cannot be compared with those aristocratic families, it is still a bit thin. Yes, here are some thank you gifts, and I hope Commander Du will deliver them to Duke Lu on your behalf to show the gratitude of our Lord Yi Guo!"
Why didn't Mr. Jia mention the gift of thanks to King Qin Li Shimin, but wanted to thank Lu Chen alone?
Mainly, Jia thought about it. Although she had heard her husband talk about this Duke of Lu County, she had never met him. As for Qin Wang Li Shimin, although she said it was not easy to meet him, she was in love with Qin Wangfei's eldest grandson Wugu. They are sisters, so it is not difficult for her to meet Li Shimin. Moreover, the relationship between her husband and King Qin obviously exceeds that of a monarch and his minister. If she wants to thank King Qin, it is better to let her husband thank him personally.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to agree to this matter, madam!" Du Junchuo glanced at the wooden box held by the two maids, cupped his hands towards Jia, and said, "When I came here, my father-in-law told me, This surgery is because of the brotherhood between my father-in-law and Duke Yi. If I take these things back, I'm afraid I will be scolded by my father-in-law. I hope my wife will not make it difficult for me. That's right!" Du Junchuo smiled bitterly and raised his hands to Jia.
Du Junchuo's words were not blind. Before leaving, Lu Chen had indeed told Du Junchuo that no matter what kind of thank-you gifts Qin Erye's family gave out, they would not accept them.
"In that case, I don't dare to force it anymore!" Mrs. Jia waved her hand, and the two maids left the front hall holding the wooden box.
"Brother Cheng Xian, can I take this concubine? What do my husband's words mean?" Jia asked, sitting on a chair and looking at Cheng Yaojin.
"Second sister-in-law, you have asked the right person!" Hearing Jia's question, Cheng Yaojin smiled proudly, and then told how Lu Chen and Sun Simiao wanted to treat Qin Qiong, as well as today's surgery. The details were given to Mr. Jia. Of course, Cheng Yaojin was naturally picky. For example, when they saw the glass greenhouse in Lujiazhuang, he didn't. When they went to Lujiazhuang today, Cheng Yaojin discovered that Lu Chen had taken those glass greenhouses. The greenhouse was covered, and Cheng Yaojin knew in his heart that Lu Chen didn't want to show the glass greenhouse to others for the time being.
"According to what Cheng Xiandi said, after my husband recovers this time, he will no longer be troubled by back pain?" Mrs. Jia looked at Cheng Yaojin with some surprise and asked, and now she also understood what her husband said What does "suffer" mean?
"According to what Lu Xiandi and Sun Shenyi said, after this recovery, the second brother should no longer be troubled by this disease, and he may even have children!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, and when he heard that Cheng Yaojin After actually revealing the matter of the heir, Jia's face immediately turned red and she gave Cheng Yaojin a gouging look. She was obviously blaming Cheng Yaojin for daring to do anything. She was a female family member, didn't he know?
However, after listening to Cheng Yaojin's words, although her face was a little shy, Jia was still quite happy in her heart. After all, she had not been able to spread the branches and leaves of the Qin family. This was a worry in Jia's heart. Now she heard that How could Mrs. Jia not feel secretly happy in hoping to continue the incense of Yiguo's palace?
"From what Lu Xiandi said, Mr. Lu is really a strange man!" Mrs. Jia blushed and praised, "I just wonder if Mr. Lu already has a good match?" Ms. Jia looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked.
"What? Could it be that my sister-in-law wants to be a matchmaker for my brother Lu Xian?" Hearing Jia's question, Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile. Regarding Li Yuan's plan to grant marriage to Princess Langya Li Yanjun and Lu Chen, Cheng Yaojin also had some thoughts. I heard about it, but Cheng Yaojin didn't tell the Jia family about it.
After all, Li Yuan hadn't officially issued the decree yet, so Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to mess with this. Although Cheng Yaojin was a "bastard", he knew very well what he could do and what he could say.
"I do know a few ladies who are still waiting to be married, but I don't know if they can catch the eye of Duke Lu!" Mrs. Jia said with a smile.
"It would be very uncomfortable if I talk to my brother Lu Xian directly about this matter. Why don't my sister-in-law find some good painters to draw the portraits of these ladies? Next time we, Lao Cheng, will bring them to Lu Xiandi to have a look at and explore his profile. Mouth?" Cheng Yaojin said with a warm-hearted look, stroking his beard under his chin. In fact, he felt that this matter could definitely win over Lu Chen, and at the same time, he wanted to watch the fun and not take it too seriously. thought.
"That's fine!" Jia thought for a while and said, in Jia's heart, those who could be worthy of the Duke of Lu County were also the daughters of high-ranking officials in the imperial court. If they came directly to propose matchmaking, they would be met by Lu. After the county man refused, it would obviously make the other party lose face, and the county man might also be unhappy. Cheng Yaojin's method was quite suitable, and Jia immediately agreed.
"By the way, sister-in-law, my second brother will go to Lujiazhuang for follow-up consultation and dressing change in three days. If sister-in-law can find a good painter to paint it within these three days, it will be a good opportunity at that time!" Cheng Yaojin said to Jia.
"Then I'll leave this to Brother Cheng Xian!" Jia nodded, stood up and saluted Cheng Yaojin.
"Leave this matter to me, Lao Cheng, and I promise to handle it beautifully!" Cheng Yaojin stood up and returned the gift to Jia, while patting his chest and saying boldly.
As for Du Junchuo on the side, although he heard these words, he didn't think there was anything wrong. His father-in-law was a fairy-like figure. In this era, there was a lot of emphasis on three wives and four concubines. The father-in-law is alone, so marrying a few more people will also expand the branches of the Lu family. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing.
Sometimes people like Du Junchuo are still thinking about it. Lu Chen's mansion in Lujiazhuang also has beautiful maids. Who does Lu Chen want to sleep with? Isn't that just a matter of words?
They even thought that if Lu Chen wanted those maids and maids to sleep with him, he didn't need to speak at all. With just a movement and a look, those maids and maids would be able to crawl onto Lu Chen's bed!
It's a pity that until now, they have not heard or seen that any maid or maid has this opportunity. Sometimes Du Junchuo and the others even discuss together whether their father-in-law is practicing some kind of Taoism and cannot be close to women. , once you get close to a woman, your sex life will be ruined and so on!
