Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1260 My wife has been very energetic lately.

Lu Baichuan nodded and told the emperor the ideas that the couple had discussed before.

"Although we don't have any dealings with overseas countries now, it doesn't mean that the other party won't take our ideas. We can change our passivity into taking the initiative. When they take our ideas, we can also see how they develop and take the best of them. Get rid of the dross.”

This is the advice given by Jiang Jiuniang. It is useless to blindly refuse to interact. Not only will you not be able to develop yourself, but you will also be blinded and unable to see the development of the other party, and you will be easily surpassed by others.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

In the past, in the court, the ministers felt that there was no need to interact with foreign countries. Those people still lived like barbarians, and there was no benefit in associating with them. But now Lu Baichuan said that they should understand each other and take the best of each other and discard the dross.

This was the first time for the emperor to hear such remarks, and he felt that it was very novel. He felt that there was a certain truth in what Lu Baichuan said, but the current situation in the country did not allow it. After all, a Dongting would be a headache. Those people trading with each other don't know how much trouble they will cause.

If this is just a minor inconvenience, then that's fine. If it's a wolf entering the house, it's like playing with fire and burning yourself.

At present, the emperor's greatest wish is to govern the country well and make the people live happily, and he does not want to consider such dangerous things.

"Forget it, let's live a good life now. I'm busy enough with all the things like going to court every day."

He waved his hands, looking uninterested.

Lu Baichuan understood what he meant and didn't say much. At present, trading with foreigners is indeed not the main thing.

And we don’t know exactly what’s going on outside, so we have to go and see it first to find out.

Thinking of what the Emperor had just said, he suspected that the Emperor might not know that the Emperor wanted to go out. He originally wanted to tell him, but after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better for the father and son to speak for themselves.

After the two discussed their matters, the emperor allowed Lu Baichuan to have a meal before letting him leave the palace.

When the emperor sent someone to call Lu Baichuan to enter the palace, many people in the city received news that Lu Baichuan was back.

Qin Jian was no exception. When he knew Lu Baichuan was entering the palace, he was not in a hurry. He rode to the palace gate and waited. Lu Baichuan could see him as soon as he came out.

"I just came out now. Did the Emperor leave some food? Brother, I'm still hungry. Come on, come and have a drink with me!"

We haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Qin Jian is still the same. He doesn't say anything nonsense when he sees him, and just hugs him with his long arms.

Lu Baichuan didn't even meet him, and said directly: "Your treat."

He had already guessed that Qin Jian would ask him to meet, so he specially saved his stomach so that he could still have a few drinks when he went to the restaurant.

"Please please please!"

Qin Jian laughed loudly, and they went to the wine shop together, asked for a small box, and had a drink before he spoke.

Putting down his wine glass, Qin Jian asked, "How are you, have you been enjoying yourself these past six months?"

"It's not bad. I bought a few more properties."

Lu Baichuan spoke modestly, but he couldn't control the smile on his face.

Qin Jian rolled his eyes and said rudely: "Eat a soft meal and see what you can do."

Lu Baichuan was not annoyed, and even enjoyed it, saying, "I can't help it, my wife is so good that I don't need to do anything. What about you, why are you so free?"

"Now I have a casual job in the Military and Horse Department. I don't have any real power in my hands. I usually stay at home with my wife and children. It's pretty good." When Qin Jian said this, his expression was very relaxed and he didn't feel that he was doing anything. What's wrong with having a sinecure?

Nowadays, there is no war on the border and life is dull. He quite likes this kind of life, as he can spend more time with his wife and children.

"By the way, my son can call me daddy. This feels really amazing!"

As he spoke, he happily ate a peanut.

Lu Baichuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you request it yourself to go to the Military and Horse Division?"

"Yes, you all went out one by one. It's pointless for me to do anything alone. I pushed Lou Chong out to block him, and then I found a job to go find the emperor and give him a nod."

"How about it, buddy, are you smart?"

He looked at Lu Baichuan proudly, as if he had done something particularly outstanding.

Lu Baichuan: ...6, no wonder the court's efficiency has become worse during this period. It turns out that even Qin Jian has retreated behind the scenes.

Seeing that Lu Baichuan didn't speak, Qin Jian drank a glass of wine and said: "It's bad, I really don't think it's a big deal. My identity is a bit sensitive, so many people are watching me. Besides, it's not easy for me to marry a wife, but Don’t you want to spend more time with your wife? I’ll take a two-year break and wait until you come back!”

Anyway, the brothers who have been working with them over the years should develop a bit. They are all his brothers, so he doesn't feel bad at all if they give up their position.

Peng Yuan followed him all the way when he went on an expedition. Now that he had lost time, he wanted to do his best to make up for it.

Now at home, he is the one taking care of his son, so the first one to call is dad, but he is very happy.

Lu Baichuan smiled and understood his thoughts, but then said: "When you have time, go to Jingzhou to check out the club and take your wife and children to live there for a while. Don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity."

Qin Jian also has shares in the club. I don't know how long it will take to come back after leaving here. There are many rich and powerful people in Jingzhou, so someone needs to be there regularly.

"Hehe, this is a good idea. I haven't visited Huoyunsi for a long time. It would be good to stay there for a while."

They also had a lot of experiences and memories in Jingzhou, but they didn't expect to settle in the capital now.

"By the way, I heard that your dog was taken away after being assassinated. Are you okay?"

In fact, looking at Lu Baichuan's relaxed and casual look, he guessed that nothing happened, but he still had to be concerned. After all, he was also his eldest nephew.

"It's okay, it's just that we were negligent. The day he was kidnapped happened to be the time when his sister was born. I never found out. I was worried that something would happen on the way to find him."

Speaking of this, Lu Baichuan still felt a little guilty and afraid. If those people hadn't been too conceited and hadn't taken action in advance, he wouldn't have known how to make up for it.

"Tsk, I'm even nervous for you. I didn't expect the Duan family to raise such powerful people. But it's okay now. You can be more careful in the future. That child is sensible and won't blame you."

"However, speaking of having a daughter, let me tell you, my wife has been very excited recently. Less than two years after her son was born, she wants to have a daughter again. She talks about how cute her daughter is every day, just like her younger siblings back then! "

Qin Jian stopped drinking and stretched his neck to complain: "When I gave birth to my son, I made up my mind not to have another baby. It was so terrifying. I really can't imagine letting her go through such a horrible thing again." . And it’s not up to us to decide whether to have a boy or a girl. If she gives birth to another son, does she still want to have a third one?”

"Oh, it would be great if my sister-in-law can come back with you. She can help me to persuade her. I don't know why. Recently, she has started to raise my son as a daughter. I tie my son's hair in pigtails every day..."
