Chapter 21
At this time, Xie Zhan just smiled at his father's praise, and then slowly put away the chess pieces.
Xie Mingtang stood up and patted his son on the shoulder, "Son, dad knows what to do, just leave the rest to dad."
Then he walked around the quiet room excitedly and shared his preliminary plan with his son: they could secretly cultivate a 'sword' for the emperor, that is, find someone to replace Lu Desheng for the emperor. Then he would give Lu Desheng a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, such as letting him Ding You or something. During this period, he would present the cultivated 'sword' to the emperor. When he comes back and the emperor no longer relies on him, then they can find a way to deal with him.
Xie Zhan frowned slightly after hearing this. He thought it would be better to praise and kill him, so he directly asked several ministers to jointly submit the report, and let Lu Desheng be promoted first. It is better to boil a frog in warm water than to arouse the other party's defensiveness by making the tiger flee the mountain or something like that.
Xie Mingtang was a little hesitant. The method his son proposed was to praise him and kill him. He used the strategy of driving the tiger away from the mountain. He also moved Lu Desheng away. I was afraid that when he discussed it with other people, they might very well do it. They chose to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. After all, the people who wanted to take action were the ones who hated Lu Desheng to death. How could they tolerate his promotion.
The father and son came out of the quiet room, and Xie Zhan finally told him, "Dad, Lu Desheng is not difficult to deal with, but we can't take action." Who knows how many cards he still has in his hand?
"In addition, if you don't find a good knife that can replace Lu Desheng, don't act rashly." Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
"Okay, dad has remembered it all."
Xie Zhan finally left with a frown. The method is there, and what needs to be explained has been explained, but he is not optimistic, and his heart is inexplicably heavy. His future father-in-law is a bit lucky. He is born as a commoner, but he can reach this point. He feels that God is blessing him. he. It's a pity that he is the only one who can see the entire Lu family.
Xie Zhan was still young and did not realize that no matter how good the method was, it would not be 100% effective if it was not implemented properly.
Lu Songli didn't have such worries. The most important and core part of the plan she made for her father was executed by her father. Her father's fighting ability is also very good.
After Xie Mingtang silently watched his eldest son leave, he turned and went to the study. There were already three or four people waiting in the study. One of them is the elder of the Xie family, and the other is Zhao Wenkuan, the head of the Zhao family!
When Xie Mingtang came in, he nodded at him.
"How's it going?" Mr. Xie's family asked first.
"Azhan finally spat out."
"Very good."
"What Lu Desheng did today made me tremble when I heard it. This man is so crazy. Our Xie family has to guard against it."
"We already have a way to deal with him and let him be proud for two days."
Zhao Wenkuan felt itchy after hearing this, and really wanted to know what kind of method could be used to eradicate Lu Desheng. But he knew what to ask and what not to ask. At the same time, he was extremely satisfied with Xie Zhan, his future son-in-law.
With the good news, Zhao Wenkuan was in the mood to joke now. He immediately brought up the incident of Lu Desheng being smashed with rotten eggs.
"By the way, you haven't heard yet, Lu Desheng was hit with a rotten egg at the gate when he was returning home from the court."
The study was quiet at first, and then became lively.
"Okay, who can do it?"
"He deserves it. Who makes him offend people day by day?"
"It's probably because one of my colleagues couldn't bear it anymore and made him do it."
While talking, they all looked at Zhao Wenkuan intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Wenkuan: No, what do you mean? Do you doubt him? But it really wasn't him who did it, even though he wanted to do it.
"Oh, isn't Lu Desheng very embarrassed?"
"No. Not a single rotten egg hit him." Zhao Wenkuan was also very depressed when he mentioned this result.
"Then you're talking about a hammer." Do you know that you are complimenting him from the side for turning a bad situation into a good one?
"Indeed, I don't know who found the person. His ability to do things is obviously not good."
*******
At the Lu family's side, after lunch, Lu Songli took her people and the gifts prepared by her mother for her eldest sister, and went out in a carriage.
This is Lu Songli's first time out since she came here, not counting the night she fell into the water. It was already late at night when she was returning to the Lu family from Prince Gong's Mansion. The road was pitch dark and she didn't see anything. In addition, she was not feeling well at the time and had been sitting quietly on the carriage. She really didn't know what was going on outside. Sample.
Most of the streets in Chang'an City are paved with bluestone slabs. The streets are not spacious and cannot be compared with the six-lane and eight-lane highways of later generations, but they are antique and very charming. Lu Songli liked it very much.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
At this moment, the sun was warm and the breeze was not dry. Lu Songli was in a good mood and enjoyed looking at the street scene.
Seeing her looking at the street scene with interest, Mo Bing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Second Miss, there is a shortcut from here to Baodingfang. We used to take the shortcut, and it is faster than taking this street now." there."
Lu Songli was raising the curtain of the carriage and looking outside. When she heard this, she refused without looking back, "There's no need to take a shortcut, let's go there slowly." She was not in a hurry.
"Yes." Mo Bing gestured to the handlebars and walked straight. It would not be a problem to spend an extra two quarters of an hour.
Lu Songli saw someone selling candied haws on the street, and she asked Mo Bing to buy some and wrap them in oil paper. She prepared this for her little nephew.
After passing the busiest streets and heading out of the city, Lu Songli sat back in the carriage honestly, because there was really nothing to see, low houses, bumpy dirt roads, and bare farmland.
With nothing to do, she thought of the eldest sister she was going to see soon, and sighed slightly.
Her eldest sister, Lu Songyun, got married six years ago and is now in confinement after giving birth to her third child. Lu Songli admired her for having two babies in three years and three babies in five years, but she also knew that this was the norm in ancient times. As soon as a woman got married, she would give birth to a baby. She had no idea of contraception and her stomach would not stop. Many women are not finished until they are able to give birth and finally cannot give birth.
Her eldest sister is only twenty-two years old, and she has already given birth to three children. Lu Songli calculated that her eldest sister had committed a crime by getting married and having her first child at the age of sixteen. At this age, many girls’ bodies have not yet grown, so some people always say that giving birth is like going through hell, but isn’t that true?
Lu Songli had read some information and knew that giving birth to a child was very draining of a woman's energy. She personally admired those women who had the courage to give birth.
She herself was a very selfish person, and she had thought about the issue of children in later generations. If she got married one day and wanted a child, she would have one, and only one. Her original intention of giving birth to a child was not to continue the family lineage or provide for old age, but to experience another kind of fireworks. Whether a person wants or does not want children is like choosing whether to focus on the width or length of life.
After wearing it here, her thoughts have not changed. There is a premise for this, which is that she has to wait until her body is well restored. She will not risk her life for the child.
She also has a very open mind about marriage. The essence of marriage is a cooperation. Both parties jointly invest and operate together. Falling in love or having a good impression is the basis of cooperation and a two-way choice. During the marriage, both parties work together. If the business cannot survive in the end, they should divide the assets and distribute their respective interests before getting together and breaking up. Some silly women regard love as their capital, but love will disappear.
Some people may say that her back does not hurt when she stands and talks, maybe because she has always been more rational. It is also very common for relationships to break up. Even if your parents can't accompany you until the end, some people just break up, which is quite normal. And there are all kinds of happiness. She has money, ability, and good looks. She can live well when she is alone, and she can live well after divorce, so why should she hold on to the past so tightly? ?
When my thoughts were in turmoil, the Xu family arrived.
