Chapter 963 (1/2)
”Madam, why do you think the court wants to kill Marquis Lu?” Gu Jiu asked.
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth and said, ”this is life! Since ancient times, it has been a dead end to support and respect the soldiers. ”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”my wife is right. It is not convenient for the palace to talk too much about specific things with his wife. This palace only asks, if have the opportunity to go to the Northwest with Lu Hou reunion, often accompany Lu Hou side, madam would like to? ”
Mrs. luhou showed obvious hesitation.
”Madame will not?” Gu Jiu asked curiously.
Lu Hou's wife sighed, ”I have been separated for so many years. I don't really care about him as much as you think. For the officials and wives, the family is more important, and the grandchildren are more important. ”
Gu Jiu's heart is clear, no matter how deep feelings will be washed away by time. What's more, Lu Hou's husband and wife may not have deep feelings.
She said to Mrs. luhou, ”Madame can take the children to the northwest.”
Mrs. luhou was shocked.
”Is your mother joking?”
Gu Jiu shakes his head, ”such a big thing, this palace can't laugh.”
Lu Hou's wife was very flustered. ”Does the imperial court need Pei's family as a pledge?”
Mrs. Lu Hou, who has always been sedate and dignified, said such words as ”speaking frankly and violating Taboos”. It can be seen that she is really flustered.
Gu Jiu winked at the palace people.
The palace man came forward and changed a cup of tea with the right temperature for Mrs. Lu Hou.
”Madam, have a cup of tea first, and then you will be surprised.”
Lu Hou's wife took up the tea cup, but did not care about decency. She poured the tea into her mouth.
She needs something to calm her panic.
Gu Jiu pinched the time and said in a loud voice: ”Your Majesty doesn't need Pei's family as a pledge.”
”How can we not. This is a tradition since ancient times. Military generals lead troops outside, and their wives and children's families should stay in the capital Mrs. luhou is still in a state of shock.
A thousand year old tradition has been broken suddenly. Something must have happened.
Mrs. Lu Hou is not afraid of death. She is afraid of death, and she is afraid that she can't protect her grandchildren.
Gu Jiu thought about it and asked, ”what kind of person does madam think Lu Hou is? Pei family stay in Beijing as a pledge, can really contain Lu Hou, let him cast a rat to avoid
Lu Hou's wife was speechless and had no choice but to smile bitterly.
She shook her head and said honestly, ”if necessary, he can give up his wife and children and abandon the Pei family.” Only they will not give up their power.
In this way, the Pei family remained in the capital as a pledge, which was of no use to the Marquis Lu, who was determined to do something important.
Not only can't restrain him, on the contrary, it saves him time to deal with household chores.
Lu Hou's wife was sad, ”is Pei family useless?”
So the court wants to give up the Pei family, right?
Gu Jiu didn't want to say more: ”after madam goes back, you can start to pack. Your eldest daughter-in-law will also go with you to the northwest. ”
Mrs. Lu Hou's lips trembled, ”can you please take back your life?”
”Is Madame reluctant to give up the colorful world of the capital?”
”Not so! Going to the northwest, I'm afraid my wife won't have much time to live. I don't care about other children. ”
Gu Jiu solemnly said: ”your grandson and granddaughter, as far as you can take away, this palace will not stop.”
Lu Hou's wife looked up at Gu Jiu and said, ”the empress, the minister's wife, dare to ask, will he die?”
”No!” Gu Jiu's answer is simple and powerful.
Mrs. luhou began to smile with a forced smile.
”It turns out he won't die!” She seems to be full of regrets.
Gu Jiu raises eyebrows.
”Does Madame wish Lu hou to die?”
Lu Hou's wife laughed at herself, ”when he is dead, the courtier's wife can also be light-hearted for a few days without worrying every day.”
”This palace can almost understand the lady's idea, but Lu hou can't die yet.”
”Don't you think that the idea of the courtier's wife is immoral?”
”Couples all over the world have more or less the idea of looking forward to each other's death. It's not surprising.”
Mrs. Lu Hou was stunned at first, and then she began to laugh. ”Niang Niang is really different.”
Gu Jiu also said with a smile: ”many ideas in this palace are quite unconventional.”
”I see. Thank you for your majesty and your mother for keeping him alive. The courtiers and wives will follow her instructions and go to the northwest to reunite with him. ”
”When my wife leaves Beijing, it is not convenient for me to see you off. Here, I wish you a good journey ahead of time. ”
”Thank you very much! My wife, please leave
……
Pei man has been worried about the situation of his mother's family. After learning the news, Pei man rushed to Lu Hou's house by carriage.
”Mother, what did the queen say?”
”Look at your sweat. The Queen's wife just chatted with me about her family affairs, but she didn't mention anything else
”Really?” Pei man can't believe it.Mrs. Lu Hou said with a smile, ”do you think I have something to do?”
Pei man's heart was still empty, and his heart couldn't reach the real place. ”Niang specially asked her mother to enter the palace, but it was just a small chat?”
”She's the queen. She can do whatever she wants without any reason.”
”But my daughter...”
”No more. Have you finished the homework assigned by the empress? ”
”No. He was busy eating banquets every day and came home drunk. Don't talk about your homework. You can't even lift your pen. ”
Mrs. Lu changed the subject easily and talked about Gu.
She said little, mainly because Pei man kept talking.
Mrs. Lu Hou's face was full of laughter and tears were hidden in her eyes.
……
Pei Meng, Mr. Dou, with a dozen or so accounting rooms, fought for more than 20 days in a row, and drew out a long material list.
The two sides negotiate with each other in terms of material type, quantity, quality, scale, transportation route, transportation time, etc
As small as a needle or a foot of cloth, we should strive for the truth and never give in.
You come and go, bargain, people who don't know think this is a vegetable market.
More than 200 kinds of materials were finally discussed and preliminary agreements were reached.
