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

Chapter 846: Banquet held at the General’s Mansion

She didn't care what she said and started to pinch Lu Baichuan's face.

Naturally, Lu Baichuan couldn't bear it and pressed him down on the couch.

He didn't go home for the past two nights, and he was a normal man. How could he not be distracted when his beloved wife was pregnant?
But He Jiuniang didn't have that kind of mentality. She had something on her mind and couldn't even drive safely.

"Don't make trouble. I came to you to tell you something. Do you want to tell the prince about this? I'm worried that the old man will use this to threaten him later, saying that I secretly met him. He must be in the same group."

Of course, Lu Baichuan also knew that this was really not a good place. He just hugged her and kissed her twice to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and then returned to his usual serious appearance.

"Let's talk about it, just in case something happens. I'll talk to the prince alone after tomorrow morning."

He Jiuniang nodded and said, "They must have something to do when they come to the capital. It's definitely not just to see me. Could it be that they are eyeing the crown prince's coronation ceremony?"

"It's possible that Dongting is restless, and Nantai and Xiteng will not be honest, so I have to speed up the training of troops. We don't have much time left. If after the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, we don't reach an agreement with Dongting, Or Dongting will regret it after returning, and there will definitely be a big battle to be fought, not to mention that there will be King Xun and Xini in it, so there are too many things to prepare for."

Speaking of these things, Lu Baichuan felt tired. The court was troubled both internally and externally, and he had too many things on his hands, and he didn't even have time to spend with his family.

He Jiuniang naturally felt sorry for him because he worked so hard. Once there was a war, he would definitely go out with other generals, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

In other words, after finishing this period of work, not only will he not be able to rest, but there will be even more tiring things staring at him.

She actually wanted to be selfish and let him put all these troubles aside, resign and go home, and become a comfortable idler.

But she also knew that he had an ambition to protect the family and the country, to bring glory to the family, and to earn prestige and status for the family members.

He wanted to protect the people of this world, how could he let him give up?
"Don't worry, you can do your own thing. I'm watching over you at home. I won't go out secretly in the future. I'll tell you everything I have to do so I won't let you worry."

He Jiuniang rested her chin on his shoulder, feeling very happy in her heart. She was happy to marry such a responsible and motivated man.

He was working hard at the front, and she was at the back to deal with the aftermath, so that he wouldn't have any worries.

Lu Baichuan also tightened his hand around her waist and said with satisfaction: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

When He Jiuniang left the military camp, there were two little tails behind her. She originally wanted to follow her secretly, but He Jiuniang said it was too troublesome to follow secretly, so she just showed it to the public.

Living in the General's Mansion, the two of them could work together to change shifts, for example, one would follow during the day and the other would guard the night to prevent her from sneaking out in the middle of the night.

What's interesting is that the two men sent by Lu Baichuan are twin brothers. They look exactly the same, except that one is slightly darker and the other is slightly whiter. You can't tell it at all if you don't look carefully. They are born in the army. You can really only tell them apart by their skin color. The one who is slightly whiter is the eldest, and the one who is darker is the second child.

The two brothers' surname is Hou, and they are called Hou Dahou Er in the army. Their names are easy to remember.

The reason why this person was sent to He Jiuniang was because the two looked too similar and could easily confuse the enemy. They could also help He Jiuniang pass the news to Lu Baichuan at critical moments without being noticed.

He Jiuniang immediately decided to let Hou Dabai follow her during the day and Hou Er stay vigil at night. Mainly people with dark skin can blend in with the darkness better at night.

Although my idea is a bit harmful, it is still reasonable, so there is no psychological burden at all.On the other hand, the two Hou brothers were a little flattered. They didn't expect to be treated like this. They immediately made up their minds to follow the lady well and not to worry the general.

five days later—

Today is the apprenticeship banquet prepared by the General's Mansion for Ting Yatou. Since many people were invited to watch the ceremony, the Lu family got up early to prepare.

Lianhua and Youyatou handled the banquet very well. When they reported it to He Jiuniang last night, He Jiuniang was very satisfied.

This banquet is not just a simple banquet, it is mainly for those dignitaries to formally get to know the Lu family. Naturally, the Lu family cannot be careless about this kind of thing and everyone will dress up to attend.

The Lu family are already good-looking, and if they dress up according to He Jiuniang's requirements, it will be difficult for them not to look eye-catching.

The men are handsome and the women are pretty. Even Sun, who is over fifty years old, is full of energy. Under the careful care of He Jiuniang, she looks like she is only in her early forties.

When the Lu family appeared on the scene, they made people envious.

This banquet was originally only for female family members, but after hearing that Leizi said that his classmates from the Imperial College also wanted to attend, he invited the male guests as well. When the time came, Leizi and Lu Xiaoyang were asked to bring a few children to entertain them, with Lianhua mainly taking care of them. The female relatives here.

Although men and women are separated, they are not unable to meet each other, and they are both in the same garden. Leizi and Lu Xiaoyang, who are tall and tall, instantly become the favorites in the eyes of the girls.

Especially Leizi, the grandson of Lu's parents, is still a scholar and will take the scientific examination in the future. With the support of his uncle, Lu Baichuan, his career will be smooth and his future will be bright.

On the other hand, although Lu Xiaoyang is also good-looking, I heard that she only manages things in shops, and no matter how high her status is, she can only be a businessman. Although the status of businessmen in this dynasty has improved, she cannot surpass scholars, so all the noble ladies The first choice is Leizi.

Although he couldn't come forward to speak, his shy and timid eyes were staring at that side.

If before they met Lei Zi, they only thought about the benefits of marrying with the Lu family, but after meeting Lei Zi, they were completely fascinated by Lei Zi's personal charm.

He is young and promising, good-looking, and a scholar. However, because of his martial arts practice, his figure is not as thin as that of ordinary scholars. Instead, he is very tall and straight, with muscles all over his body.

The young ladies all blushed and were embarrassed to look again, but they couldn't control their gazes.

In this way, the lotus flowers that came out to entertain them were completely left aside.

They didn't even want to stand with Lianhua. Lianhua was so pretty, and even the skirts she wore were more fashionable than theirs. Standing next to them would put them down, so how could Leizi notice them?

The ladies from various families were also very fond of Lei Zi. I heard their boy in the Imperial College come back and said that the eldest young master of the Lu family was not bad at learning. Although he had not taken the scientific examination, he was really no worse than them, and even surpassed them.

After entering the table, the wives of each family tried their best to talk to Mr. Sun and He Jiuniang, first to establish relationships, and then to bring the topic to the marriage of their children.

How could He Jiuniang not see what they meant? Before they asked, she pulled Lianhua to her side and said to everyone with a smile: "Then our Leizi family does not need to worry too much about this convenience for us elders. We will follow him at the beginning of the year. Lianhua has made a marriage arrangement and will only wait for two years before getting married when she is older."
