Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 233 Preparations Before Negotiation
Duke Ding returned home with a smile on his face and went directly to his wife's yard.

Mrs. Qiao, the Duke's wife, saw the smile on her master's face as soon as he entered the room and asked, "Master is so happy today, but what happy things happened?"

Dingguo laughed and said: "This An Lehou has made great contributions, and the Holy Majesty appointed him as a peace envoy to preside over the peace talks with Xiyan Kingdom. If he can complete the task assigned by the Holy Majesty, then he will set up another Gong, the future is limitless. Now that he is a marquis, it is not impossible to be a duke in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "Then if Lan'er of our family marries in, she will be the Duke's wife."

Lu Zhilan was also with her mother at this time, and she was secretly happy when she heard her father's words.

Before, she had heard that An Lehou had made great contributions to the frontier, beheading Liang Wei, the general of the Xiyan Kingdom, turning the situation that was unfavorable to the Jin Kingdom and winning a complete victory.Lu Zhilan was delighted that her sweetheart had made extraordinary achievements, and she was even more delighted that she had a good vision and fell in love with such a great hero.

Now I am even more happy to hear from my father that An Lehou was appointed as the peace envoy by the Holy Spirit.Just like what my father said, if Anlehou and Xiyan Kingdom complete the task assigned by the Holy Majesty through the peace talks, then he has made great contributions, and the Holy Majesty will definitely reward him when Anlehou returns to Beijing in the future.It is not out of reach to become a duke of the state in the future.

Mrs. Qiao looked at her daughter who pursed her lips and said, "Lan'er, An Lehou is not in the capital now, so we can't invite him to our house as a guest. I think we will wait for An Lehou to return to Beijing and let your father find out what he wants, and then Let your father ask the Holy One for a grace to marry you and An Lehou."

Lu Zhilan bowed her head in shame and said softly, "But it's up to father and mother to decide."

Duke Dingguo is really satisfied with Anlehou being his son-in-law, not only is he handsome but also quite talented, such a son-in-law is worthy of his own daughter.

Not only the Duke of Dingguo is talking about Jing Yi, but the Xu family is also talking about Jing Yi.

Mrs. Xu took the tea brought by the servant girl and put it in front of her master with a smile, "Master, now the whole capital is talking about An Lehou beheading Xiyan General Liang Wei and the White Tiger Army winning a complete victory. But he is a well-known hero."

Xu Liangsheng stroked his beard with a smile and said: "It's not just that, now the Holy Majesty directly accepts An Lehou as the peace envoy to be fully responsible for the peace talks with Xiyan Kingdom. This shows that the Holy Majesty trusts and values ​​An Lehou very much.

Although Marquis An Le had been conferred a title before, he had never had an official position. This time, after he has made such a great contribution and returned, the Holy Majesty will definitely reward him again, and it is estimated that he will also be awarded an official position.At that time, An Lehou will be the most popular court official in the capital. "

Mrs. Xu said: "Master, I see that Yin Yin of our family is very concerned about An Lehou's affairs, and I'm afraid she has taken a fancy to him."

Xu Liangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, "Oh, Yinyin told you?"

Mrs. Xu said: "I don't know my daughter yet? When she mentions An Lehou, her eyes shine brightly. She is very concerned about An Lehou's affairs, and the youngest daughter's attitude is fully revealed. Besides, when will you see her?" Our daughter cares so much about men other than her own brothers?"

Xu Liangsheng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment and said: "This Anlehou is indeed a good husband-in-law candidate, but now that Anlehou is very popular, I am afraid that there are not a few people who are staring at his marriage. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Mrs. Xu said: "Our family is both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and has a good family background. Compared with other noble girls in Beijing, she is one of the best. Which man doesn't like it? An Lehou can be the exception? Besides, An Lehou has rescued her again. If our family, Yinyin, can achieve good things, it will be a good story."

Xu Liangsheng nodded and said: "You go back and ask your daughter carefully to clarify her intentions. If Yinyin really likes An Lehou, then I will help our daughter plan something, so that Yinyin can marry the right man no matter what. "

Seeing that her master agreed, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Then I will ask Yinyin later."

After dinner at night, Mrs. Xu pulled her daughter into the room, "Yinyin, tell your mother what's on your mind, do you like Anlehou Chu Jingyan?"

Xu Ruyin blushed and lowered her head when she heard the words, Madam Xu saw that there was still something she didn't understand.

She took her daughter's hand and said: "Our family doesn't expect you to marry a wealthy family, let alone marry into the royal family. The royal family is just a big dye vat, and there is no way to live comfortably all day long. Although An Lehou has He was granted the title of Marquis, but there is no huge family behind him, and our family background is not inferior to him in the slightest.

Go back and ask your father to inquire more about the situation in his family. It would be better if his family is simple. You will be Mrs. Hou Ye when you marry, and you can be the master of the house directly. Live more comfortably. "

Xu Ruyin didn't hide from her mother at this time. After all, it was related to her own happiness, "Mother, since An Lehou saved me, I always think of him. He can save me regardless of danger and worldly eyes. I think He is a kind and gentle person. I feel at ease as a husband and wife with such a person.

Besides, I was rescued by An Lehou after I fell into the water in the Princess's Mansion that day, so many people saw it, my reputation would be affected to some extent, if I could marry An Lehou, it would be the best result. "

Mrs. Xu nodded, "What you said is indeed reasonable. Don't worry about this matter first. I'll ask your father to inquire more about An Lehou's situation. If it's really suitable, your father and I will make your wish come true."

Xu Ruyin hugged her mother's arms happily when she heard the words, showing her little daughter's posture, "Thank you, father and mother, for your success."

Jing Yi didn't know that many people in the capital were thinking about her.She is preparing for the peace talks at the southwest border.

After reading the imperial decree, Shao Yichen said: "Jing Yan, when are you going to have peace talks with the envoys sent by Xiyan Kingdom? This time Xiyan Kingdom sent the third prince Murong Huai of Xiyan Kingdom. It is said that the third prince has been They are all peacemakers, and this time Emperor Xiyan sent him to bring a mission to the peace talks, it seems that he is really afraid."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "He is the main peace faction, but it does not mean that he is easy to deal with. We must try our best to win as much as possible on the premise of fulfilling the requirements of the Holy Majesty. Brother Shao, you send someone to send the members of the Xiyan Peace Talks Mission Investigate the situation, I want detailed information on everyone.

Only by finding out the situation of each member of the other party and negotiating can we prescribe the right medicine and strive for more benefits.It is not difficult for Xiyan to cede two cities at the request of the Holy Majesty, because we have now occupied three cities in Xiyan.We only need two cities and they should agree.It should be fine if we exchange another city for 1000 million taels of silver.
