Mingmen Family

Chapter 188 Going to the border

She said: "That's right. Although the story of Fifth Young Master Jiang is not widely spread, only a small group of people know about it. But now that the Ye family has defected to the Prince's faction, the Ye family may know the news and reject this marriage."

The British Duke has made great military exploits, even the emperor would not easily discredit him.Not to mention a small businessman?
But the ignorant are fearless, maybe the Ye family would dare to reject this relative?

"It's okay if you refuse." Meng Chengwei showed a cruel smile on his face, "A small businessman dares to refuse the British government's marriage proposal, that's really courageous."

Mrs. Meng also laughed: "That's right. So what if the Ye family can get involved with the prince? It's impossible for the prince to smear Duke Ying's face for the daughter of a merchant's family, right?"

"The British government seems to be powerful, but in fact it is short of money. Marrying the daughter of a tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River can bring countless money. The British government is very happy to think about it." She added.

"Success, then do it like this." Meng Chengwei stood up, "I'll visit my cousin right now, and ask her to give advice to the British princess."

……

In the north of the city, in the other courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji sat facing each other and drank tea.

Qi Ji said: "Miss Ye's tea is absolutely amazing."

Lu Guanyi asked: "Over there at Jixiang Tower, is this tea sold like crazy?"

"That's not true." Qi Ji nodded and said, "When I heard that the emperor's proposal to abolish the regiment was based on tea, everyone became curious and wanted to try it."

He snorted coldly again: "Fortunately, Miss Ye is careful in handling things, and she still remembered to go to the tea department to go through a procedure, and then took the tea. Otherwise, it would really make the fourth prince use it to make a fuss."

Lu Guanyi nodded, but did not speak.

Qi Ji looked at him and asked, "What's the matter? It feels like you're out of control."

Lu Guanyi said: "Has Meng Chengwei been released? With this person's personality, I'm afraid he will retaliate against the Ye family."

Speaking of this, Qi Ji felt depressed.

They wanted to find someone to deal with Meng Chengwei at the border, so that he would not target the Ye family again after he was released.However, the Meng family took very strict precautions and sent many people to secretly protect Meng Chengwei, but their people never had a chance to do anything.

"Then what should we do? Let's each send a guard to Ye Erye and Ye Miss?" Qi Ji asked.

"Yes." Lu Guanyi said, "Ye's Nursing Academy is full of servants, no martial arts; the people in the Escort are too complicated, easy to be bribed, and dangerous to use. I am going to give Yi Wu and Chen Xiu to Miss Ye as pawns." nursing home."

Qi Ji glanced at him: "Yi Wu is the best martial arts guard around you, if you transfer him away, wouldn't your good stepmother have more chances?"

"Yi Wu is not my opponent." Lu Guanyi said, "I can protect myself."

Qi Ji simply stopped talking.

Lu Guanyi himself is formidable, but two fists are no match for four hands. When meeting a few good fighters, what good is Lu Guanyi alone?There is no effective nursing home around, and the risk factor is greatly increased.

But Ye Yaming is the woman Lu Guanyi likes. Lu Guanyi would rather put himself in danger than give Yi Wu to Ye Yaming. He really puts Ye Yaming above himself.

Not to mention that Lu Guanyi's ideas have always been upright.Just talking about Huizhou and his party, Qi Ji has already regarded Ye Yaming as a friend.If because of his persuasion, Lu Guanyi kept Yi Wu, and Ye Yaming was brutally murdered, Qi Ji himself felt uncomfortable, and his friendship with Lu Guanyi would have ended here.

"Oh, if only I had a powerful nursing home. It doesn't matter whether I follow you or give it to Miss Ye." He sighed.

The Lu family belonged to Wu Xun, and Yi Wu was trained by Lu Guanyi's grandfather, brought to the border to kill the enemy and practiced.The Qi family is a civil servant, and the level of the nursing home is similar to that of the Ye family.

"But you gave them all, and I'll send a nursing home to Ye Erye too." He said.

"Row."

Qi Ji glanced at Lu Guanyi: "Actually, Miss Ye's danger is not only in terms of personal safety. Nowadays, Longjing tea is famous, and it is rumored that Longjing tea is made by Ye Erye. He has no son. Miss Ye's own Her reputation is not low, and she is not yet married, so maybe it's because of people who want to get her married."

In order to protect Ye Yaming, it was said that Longjing tea was made by Ye Hongsheng.

Lu Guanyi was silent for a long time, and said: "Chuyang, I may be going to the border soon."

Qi Ji was taken aback: "What are you doing at the border?"

"Join the army." Lu Guanyi said, "Under the command of General Zhenbei."

"This..." Qi Ji widened his eyes, "How could it be?"

Speaking of which, Lu Guanyi, as the grandson of the old general Lu Min and the son of Xuanwu Marquis Lu Yongzhong, should go to the border at the age of fifteen or sixteen and follow his father to make contributions.

There is actually a reason for him to go south alone to do business.

Lu Guanyi's mother, Fang Shi, died of dystocia that year. Wei Guogong Shi Yi, on the grounds of cherishing his beloved general, sharing his worries for his beloved general, and taking good care of his infant son, asked the emperor to give his fourth daughter and Lu father Lu Yongzhong a gift. marriage.

Fortunately, Lu Guanyi's grandmother, Qiu Shi, was worried about leaving her grandson in the care of Shi Shi, so she took her by her side, so Lu Guanyi grew up smoothly.

Over the years, Shi's true nature has gradually revealed. Not only his grandparents and Lu Guanyi himself, but also Lu Yongzhong suspected that Shi's death was related to Fang's death.

After all, Lu Yongzhong was handsome and mighty, brave and good at fighting, and made many military exploits. He became a general in a few years.When he returned to Beijing, many girls and daughters-in-law secretly went to see him because of his handsome appearance.

Maybe Shi Shi took a fancy to Lu Yongzhong's appearance and ability, and Wei Guogong wanted to make Lu Yongzhong his own to strengthen his position, so he took advantage of Fang's childbirth to kill her.He also knew that Lu Yongzhong had a good relationship with Fang and would not remarry easily, so he asked the emperor to marry him.

Over the years, the Lu family has made many investigations, and finally tracked down the family of Mrs. Wen who gave birth to Fang's back then, and found out that someone had indeed bought Mrs. Wen and killed Fang's during childbirth.

As for whether it was Wei Guogong or Shi Shi who did it, it is not known.

Fang Shi is the daughter of the old Xuanwu Marquis Lu Min's comrade-in-arms, the old couple treat her as a daughter, Lu Yongzhong and Fang Shi also grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they have a strong relationship.Everyone wants to avenge Fang.

Helplessly, the Duke of Wei is powerful, not only can they not take revenge, but they are also worried that the Shi family will go crazy and risk Lu Guanyi's life at all costs. And the Qiu family even brought their grandson with them all the time, and dared not let him go to the army for training.

After all, there are many confidantes of historians in the army.

For so many years, Lu Min, Lu Yongzhong and his son have been determined to bring down Wei Guogong and protect Lu to watch the game comprehensively.Now that Lu Min passed away, how could Lu Yongzhong let his son go to the border with confidence?Moreover, it was sent to the general of Zhenbei?
Now the military of the Great Jin Dynasty is divided into two factions, one is the General Zhenbei, and the other is Wei Guogong's son Shi Kun and his son-in-law Lu Yongzhong.The two factions have always been politically at odds.
