Not long after, a sedan chair was carried by four people to the gate of the capital city, accompanied by six maids and two old mothers.

When they reached the gate of the capital city, they stopped. The old mother greeted an old man. Although she called her aunt, the old general’s wife was actually much older than Li. The reason was when General Hussein was young. Often in the frontier, two people get together little and more, and Li Zhao and his sister's two children are considered to be good old for them.

However, the wife of the old general eats fast and reciting the Buddha on weekdays. She was wearing a blue dress, very plain, with almost no other embellishments on it, and her hair was all wrapped around her head, tied with a silver hairpin.

Holding a string of Buddhist beads made of sandalwood in her hand, the beads were rolling all the time.

Chu Qing walked up to her and saluted her: "Mother."

There seemed to be tears in her eyes. She looked at him and said, "Zhao'er, I haven't seen you for two years, you have grown taller."

"Mother, the child is not filial, I just come back to see you now."

"Why didn't your father come back?"

"Although we won the battle this time, there are still turmoil on the border from time to time. Father needs to stay there to keep the peace and tranquility there."

The old general's wife held Chu Qing's hand, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

Her man guarded the frontier when she was young, and now she is old, he is still guarding the frontier. But she does not regret marrying him, he is a hero, a hero of the people and the country.

The old general's wife saw Lu Manman standing beside Chu Qing. Lu Manman saluted her: "Auntie."

She wiped the tears from her face, let go of Chu Qing's hand, and walked to Lu Manman's side. She looked at her distressedly and said, "Manman! You have lost a lot recently. Your mother has been Writing to me, she said that you fell into the water some time ago, but what happened?"

This one fits Li's personality very well. In the original book, as long as Lu Manman and Li are wronged in the Lu Mansion, Li will move out of the Li family. And her natal family can still call the shots for her, it is her brother General Hussein.

She didn't say these words to them, but to whom.

Lu Manman said: "Auntie, it's just that I accidentally fell into the water. Mother is too sensitive."

The old general's wife and Qi said: "I also think all this should be a misunderstanding. Then I have seen Lu Youran a few times. He is thin and small, afraid of meeting strangers, so I must not dare to do anything that hurts the world. When you have time, , Communicate with your mother more, don’t disturb your own well-being because of trivial things. It’s a bland life for a family to live together. I don’t know how happy it is."

This is how Lu Youran left outsiders. Even Lu Manman's aunt didn't believe that she would harm her, let alone Lu Xiaoran!

Lu Manman said, "Auntie, Man Man has written it down."

"Well, we have something! Let's go back to the general's house and talk about it!"

"good."

"Manman, you took a carriage with me, and we haven't spoken carefully for a long time."

"Okay, aunt."

The two of them got on the sedan chair. Along the way, the old general's wife held her hand. Although the hand was not very generous, it was warm.

She said: "Manman, I have heard about what happened in the capital during this time. Zhaoer has been in the mood for feelings since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to make girls happy. Now she has reached the age when she should start a family, but she doesn't know. How can I just look down on someone's girl. In fact, my son, I know, he is not a girl who looks down on someone else's girl. It's just that this child is exactly the same as his father. There is no room for a second person."

Lu Manman is not a fool. She could hear the meaning of the old general's wife, "Aunt, cousin, I understand."

"Man Man, you can't just understand it. Although you have a marriage contract with King Chu Huai, sooner or later the saint will break the marriage contract for you two. You two grew up together, and we all see your feelings in our eyes. Zhao'er is a general. He may stay in the capital this time for a year or a few months. The next time I don't know it will be a few years before he can return. The military camp is heavy, and women cannot enter.

Lu Manman thought, this old general’s wife was not in the capital, but knew everything that happened in the capital, and the sage clearly hadn’t issued a decree to cancel the marriage contract between her and King Chuhuai. She was so sure, and she also hinted. She hurry up and get along with him. It seems that the saint’s concerns are not right. The Li family and the Lu family, with their big trees and deep roots, do worry him!

"Auntie, my cousin and I have already met the Holy Master, but the Holy Master did not agree."

"He disagrees because he doesn't want our Li family and Lu family to marry again. Although your father has been far away from our family in recent years, and the Li family has almost left the capital, the saint is still worried. For the monarch, be cautious."

"Then the matter between me and my cousin, isn't it hopeless."

She patted her hand gently, "Manman, we can't worry, we will lose if we worry, you are the daughter of the Lu family, and the Lu family has been loyal for generations. Of course, the saint wants you to be chosen as the mother of the country in the future. Therefore, he won't allow you to marry me now. But...we can't help me at all."

Lu Manman listened carefully. This old general's wife seemed to have no desires and desires to the Buddha, but in fact she knew everything, and she was like a mirror in her heart.

She continued: "Manman, if you really love Zhaoer, then you can give yourself to him. Only in this way, the Holy Master will no longer regard you as the future mother of the country. Between you and Zhaoer, Only possible."

this……

It is absolutely impossible.

Li Zhao is Lu Manman's cousin. If they have something, it will be fine. She promised to marry him based on the various premises he set.

She also understands that although she is selfish, she wants to cling to the big tree Li Zhao, and she does not want to give birth to him. The old general's wife, who was Li Zhao's mother, didn't think so. Li Zhao was her only son. If Li Zhao couldn't continue the incense for the Li family, then the Li family's incense would be cut off.

She quietly lifted the curtain of the car, and happened to meet him who was riding beside the sedan chair.

The topic she was discussing with the old general's wife was a bit sensitive, but she blushed and hurriedly lowered the curtain.

Of course, all her actions fell into the eyes of the old general’s wife. She smiled: "Manman, I know you are a little uncomfortable. You used to treat Zhaoer as your brother, but suddenly you think of him as your own man. Habit."

Unaccustomedness also accounts for one aspect, but the most important reason is that they are related by blood. If they really have a child, then the child is more likely to have a congenital genetic disease.

She said: "Auntie, you are very happy. Uncle has only married you in this life."

She also nodded and said, "Yes, any man now has no three wives and four concubines, but he doesn't. In this regard, Zhaoer is like his father."

If he is like his father, marrying her, and only her for life, then they will never have children.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

Regardless of this, neither Li Zhao nor the old general’s wife should be able to bear it.

She asked: "Auntie, you must be looking forward to the scene full of children and grandchildren!"

"Yeah! The biggest regret in my life is to get together and leave more with my family. People, only in this life, this short life can't be cherished, then it's really wasted. I hope I am old. After that, I can spend it with my family."

However, if he married her and didn't marry a wife again, the old general's wife would never be able to achieve this wish.

Lu Manman said: "Auntie, my cousin and I have not yet written the horoscope. I don't know what Shengshang thought in his heart. It is not easy for my cousin to come back once, and I don't know when he will leave. I just think about it. So why don’t we give the cousin a few concubine rooms, and no matter what, we can choose a few warm bed maids for him. So that my cousin can leave a son and a half and go back to the frontier.”

The old general's wife thought for a while, she said: "Man Man, if you let your concubine have a child first, your aunt is afraid that you will be wronged in the future."

"Aunt, please rest assured, Manman believes that my cousin will not let me be wronged."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Manman, if you don't mind, of course my aunt won't."

"Auntie, the sooner this matter can be done, the better. On weekdays, I rarely walk with those famous ladies. In a few days it will be my grandmother's birthday. On that day, all the famous ladies in the capital will participate. At that time, You can go to the banquet to take a closer look and choose."

"Alright, let me, a mother, go ahead and check it out. But Zhao'er is stubborn, and the thing he has identified is that the nine cows can't be brought back. When you are fine, go to the Surabaya Pavilion and take care of it. I convinced him."

"good."

When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Lu Manman helped the old general's wife to get out of the carriage, and the group walked inside.

The general's wife said: "Man Man, I heard that there is only one girl by your side to serve."

"Yes."

The old general's wife is really not simple. Not only did her eyeliner be placed beside the sage, she also knew about the daily trivial matters of the Lu Mansion. Also after the carriage just now, although the old general's wife was always talking to Lu Manman, in fact, after a few words, Lu Manman offered to give Li Zhaona a concubine. She can't say that the old general's wife is wicked, but every mother will plan for her own children.

She said: "Prime Minister Lu is a bit too clean. The maid beside me Cuiqing is pretty good, and I will go to your Siyan Pavilion to serve you in the future."

"Manman thanked his aunt."

"Don't say anything to thank you, I should thank you for today's matter."

"My aunt has broken the Shaman Manman, and Manman can't afford your thanks."

"Man Man is more and more able to speak."

Chu Qing saw that the two of them were able to talk vigorously, and he was also happy. He asked, "Mother, what are you saying thanks to your cousin?"

"I can't tell you this yet."

"Mother, do you have such a curse? Tell me quickly!"

"Ask your cousin, she told me this matter."

After listening, Chu Qing looked at Lu Manman, "Cousin, what are you talking about with your mother?"

In her mind, there are some strange ideas every day. The old general's wife said that she brought them up, so he really wanted to hear them.

"Cousin, what are you anxious about? You'll know soon."

"Well, if you don't want to say it, then I won't ask, just keep a little bit of mystery, and I will be surprised later."

Lu Manman thought, is this incident more shocking or liking for him?

She thought of the man in the open-air bath that night. To her cousin, she should have been more surprised.

She once said to bring them together. But so quickly, she came up with a way and planned to build a few barriers between them.

Afterwards, several people had dinner together, Lu Manman instructed Qingzi to prepare fresh jujubes in the Yaju where the old general's wife lived, and the three of them went to Siyan Pavilion.

Speaking of the old general's wife who likes to eat dates, although it is not a big deal, not many people know about it. Her original party is one of the few people who know about it.

When General Hussar and his wife were young, General Hussar used a bag of jujube to capture her heart.

Although the old general's wife likes to eat dates, she feels that the jujubes outside are far less delicious than what he gave, and she no longer eats them.

After returning to Siyan Pavilion, Cuiqing saw a newly reclaimed land on the clearing next to the wooden house, and she asked, "Miss, is this something to grow?"

"Yeah! I want to plant some flowers or something."

"The slave servant knew that the lady loves flowers and peach blossoms, so the general built this Siyan Pavilion in the General's Mansion and replaced all the flowers and plants in the General's Mansion with peach blossoms."

When she first came to this General Mansion, she thought it was the General Mansion full of peach blossoms, just like Huang Laoxie's Peach Blossom Island, with Qimen Dunjia mixed into it. Unexpectedly, the reason was simply tight, just because Lu Manman liked peach blossoms most. .

He built the General Mansion into what Lu Manman liked, and it seemed that he wanted to marry her a long time ago.

After entering the Siyan Pavilion, Lu Manman said to Cuiqing, "Cuiqing, you don't need to call yourself a slave and maid in the future, and you don't need to feel inferior."

Cui Qing was a little surprised. She had been a maidservant for so many years, no one had ever told her that she didn't need to call herself a slave, and that the slave was not inferior to the master.

She said, "Cuiqing dare not."

"Okay, don't dare anymore, learn this from Qingzi."

At the beginning, she really took a lot of thought to reverse Qingzi's deep-rooted thoughts. Now Qingzi is responsible for the green affairs.

She glanced at Qingzi timidly, and then said, "That's good."

Lu Manman said: "Cuiqing, it's too late, I have to go to bed too, you go back to rest. Just have a Qingzi with me by my side."

Cuiqing didn't understand, she asked, "What does the lady mean?"

"I also came to the General’s Mansion for a few days, and I’m going back in a few days. I’ll treat you as the person I borrowed temporarily from my aunt. Staying in Siyan Pavilion, you should have your own life. Come over to have a meal at breakfast, and you can go back after dinner at dinner, so you don’t need to be too cautious."

Lu Manman's words shocked Cuiqing. She had never met such a master before. Could it be that she did something wrong?

She knelt down all of a sudden and choked up: "Miss, did Cuiqing do something wrong?"

Cuiqing's behavior surprised Qingzi and Lu Manman. Lu Manman didn't know what to say, but Qingzi helped her up. She smiled and said, "My good sister, you can get up! Look at you. Kneeling, my lady was scared stupid. Our lady is not like other girls, she has the attitude of a lady. As long as we treat the lady wholeheartedly, the lady will treat us as her own sisters."

Cuiqing is still a little scared, is this really all right?

Qingzi continued: "Of course it's nothing. After you get to know the lady in the future, you will know that I didn't lie to you. Okay, go back and rest!"

Cuiqing timidly said to Lu Manman, "Miss, that Cuiqing retires."

"Go!"

Qingzi sent Cuiqing to the door. Then she went back and closed the door. She asked, "Miss, why did you say that the old general's wife suddenly gave you a maid, and is this maid so on thin ice?"

Lu Manman tapped the table with her fingers, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Qingzi, I'm just waiting for you to ask me this question. If you can ask this question, it shows that your thinking is improving."

Qingzi scratched her head, a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, I also find it strange."

"First of all! It is absolutely not bad for my aunt to arrange Cuiqing by my side. She is just for the sake of her cousin. So we can't care about Cuiqing. There are many things that we can't let her know."

"But what does the old general's wife mean?"

"What does Auntie mean? You will know from now on. Let's talk about how to meet Ouyang Xian."

She opened her mouth wide, will Ouyang Xian? But I heard that she is not a good crop.

In Yaju, the old general’s wife is eating dates. The fresh jujube is very sweet, just like the one he gave that year.

She thought to her heart that Lu Manman was more attentive than her son. Although she liked to eat dates, she didn't eat them very much on weekdays. She always felt that all the dates were not as sweet as he gave them. She unexpectedly knew that she liked to eat dates, and the dates she chose were so sweet, but her son didn't even know what his mother liked. She was more satisfied with Lu Manman, the future daughter-in-law.

Cuiqing knocked on the door of the old general's wife. The old mother went to open the door. She said, "Quickly go in! Madam is waiting for you."

Cuiqing entered the back room, and the old general's wife said: "Cuiqing! Do you know why I sent you to Manman to serve her?"

"Cuiqing doesn't know, so Cuiqing came to ask his wife."

She put down the jujube in her hand and sighed, "My son! He has already reached the age when he deserves to start a family, and he doesn't even have a woman by his side. He is very dull about feelings, if it were me. The mother doesn’t help him. I don’t know how long and how long the matter between him and Manman will be. Now Manman lives in the General’s Mansion and they have many opportunities, but I don’t know when she will return to Lu. Mansion, you will also build a bridge between them, so that they can cultivate the right results as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, step back!"

"Cuiqing retire." After Cuiqing went out, she wiped the sweat from her forehead. She thought to her heart that Miss Lu was not bad. If she could cultivate a good result with the general, it would be a good thing.
