From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1008

For the Great Jin Dynasty, the second day of May is an extraordinary day, which marks the comprehensive resolution of the internal and external troubles of the Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years.

From the suppression of the Liangjiang Rebellion to the surrender of the Donglu clan and the expansion of the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, for four years, the Great Jin Dynasty gradually regained its dignity, resolved conflicts, and finally ushered in the revival of the country in one victory after another.

Therefore, no matter the faction in the court, whether it is civil officials or military officials, royal family nobles or emerging forces, they are all excited and delighted.

Celebration is indispensable. The Ministry of Rites took the lead, the royal family cooperated, and the nobles participated. The Shenjing started a grand celebration.

Fireworks performances, dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums, and operas in major restaurants must be arranged.

This time, the money of the national treasury was not spent. The royal family took the initiative to contribute funds and expressed their desire to celebrate for the ancestors, which made Empress Zhaojing even more excited.

At the same time, Zhou Yuanfeng was conferred the title of first-class prince, so naturally he had to organize celebrations.

It's impossible to keep a low profile. There are so many people watching, staring, and waiting. There must be an explanation.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp, the brothers under his command, and the relatives at home all need a lively atmosphere to be happy.

After all, this is a rare reunion.

Zhou Yuan wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but Guan Lu's words changed his mind.

"Sir, the war in the north is not easy to fight. Let the brothers be happy and let the family be lively. This is what we should do."

Zhou Yuan was silent, patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay, in this case, I will arrange for someone to go down and take care of it, and we will also celebrate in the Prince Wei's Mansion."

"How long did you stay in Yunzhou this time?"

Guan Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Twenty days, I also spent a lot of time with my family. It's a pity that my son is not motivated and is not good at studying. When he grows up in two years, I will take him to Fujian and let him join the Fujian-Guangdong Navy."

Zhou Yuan said, "I remember that you only have this one son, really Are you willing to send him to join the army? "

Guan Lu snorted and said in a deep voice: "After several years of war, the Fujian-Guangdong Navy has worked together to learn, improve, and become better. Sooner or later, they will become the best navy in the world and open up maritime achievements for my Great Jin."

"My kid can go in as a pawn, which is a compliment to him. How can he be dissatisfied?"

"Song Wu can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so what's mine?"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud: "Hahaha good! Courageous! But don't forget the business these days."

Guan Lu said: "I understand."

He clasped his fists, turned around and strode away.

These days will be very lively, but Guan Lu is the only one who can't be idle. His tasks are too heavy and his work is too much. He has to help Zhou Yuan connect the forces of all parties and complete the allocation of major resources.

After all, many people will come to Beijing during this period.

The door of the study rang, and a voice came from outside: "Husband, can I come in?"

Zhou Yuan quickly stood up, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Why are you still polite?"

Zhao Jianjia wore a simple and elegant robe, a complicated headdress, and heavy makeup. She looked bright and generous, and quite majestic.

"Who dares to break into your study? Chenxi was scolded at the beginning. I dare not provoke you."

As she spoke, she also walked in slowly.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly took care of her and sat her down, laughing: "My wife has a good memory. I was in a bad mood that time with Chenxi. Wen Tieli lost the battle and I had to clean up his mess."

"But now my temper is much better than before, not so irritable."

Zhao Jianjia looked at him and chuckled: "But I am a little irritable. You brought a girl back from the south, saying that she is Li Yu'an's goddaughter. This is no problem. I can take her with me."

"But what about that foreigner? He doesn't care about me at home, and I have to worry about everything. I, Zhao Jianjia, deserve to help you raise a concubine, right?"

God, how could I forget Dai Si!

Zhou Yuan's face became serious, he held Jianjia's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Jianjia, you misunderstood, this is not a concubine, this is a hostage."

"Kolodiya brought two cruisers, so many goods and commodities, and the genius of my Great Jin. I left her daughter behind to restrict her."

"What concubine or not, your husband never keeps a concubine! He will never have a concubine in his life!"

These impassioned words failed to deceive Jianjia.

Zhao Jianjia snorted, "Of course, you are the Prince of Wei now, a first-class prince, with one principal wife and no limit on concubines. If you are in a good mood, Ziyuan can be made a concubine, so of course there are no concubines."

Zhou Yuan hugged her and whispered, "What do you mean by unlimited concubines? I don't understand these policies. I just know that no matter what, my Jianjia will always be the principal wife and the eldest wife."

Zhao Jianjia felt sweet in her heart and pouted, "YouJust like to say such nice words to comfort me, I am so tired of this, worrying about this family every day.

"Li Yu'an's goddaughter can be raised in the mansion, but you have to give her a name. We dare not give it. It is not appropriate to keep calling her a maid."

"Dai Si can live at home, but she is not very honest and is also hypocritical to us. You have to take care of her."

"And Ningyue..."

Speaking of this, she was very angry, pinched the flesh on Zhou Yuan's waist, gritted her teeth and said: "Do you care about Ningyue, you bastard! Do you know that she is always in a bad mood!"

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Ningyue?"

Zhao Jianjia said: "She is originally inferior, thinking that she has no advantages, so she wants to give you a few children, but her stomach has been silent, and she has been anxious for a long time. ”

“I’ve been worried about gains and losses for the past two years, and I can’t sleep at night. I’ve been studying medicine and I can’t wait to go to the battlefield to help you…”

“Ningyue is very insecure, you should care about her more.”

Zhou Yuan sighed softly and nodded, “I’ve been fighting all over the place for these years, and I’ve been apart from you for a long time. I really ignored your feelings.”

“I’ll go to comfort Ningyue, don’t worry.”

“Once the war in the north is over, I’ll be relieved.”

Zhao Jianjia touched Zhou Yuan’s face with some heartache, and whispered, “I know you’re working hard, and I won’t blame you, but you have to take care of your debt to your beloved.”

“Do you know that your little daughter is almost three months old, and she hasn’t been named yet!”

“Xiaoying, that girl, seems cute and likes to be bullied, but she’s actually stubborn. She won’t let us name her and has to wait for you to come back. "

Zhou Yuan was in a heavy mood and nodded slightly.

Zhao Jianjia stood up and said, "There are many people in the mansion these days, and it's busy. Tomorrow I will call both sisters Qinshui and Bishui to help me greet the guests, and let Sister Xiong help me too."

Just as the voice fell, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Guan Lu hurried in and said, "Sir, Qiao Chaiqing... um..."

He quickly retreated and closed the door.

"You are really busy!"

Zhao Jianjia glared at Zhou Yuan unhappily, and then walked out slowly.

Then, Guan Lu came in scratching his head and smiled awkwardly, "It's a bit rude, but fortunately I didn't run into anything big."

Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "What's wrong with Qiao Chaiqing?"

Guan Lu said, "I arrived in Shenjing this morning and am now staying in Shanxi Guild Hall, waiting for your summons at any time. "

Zhou Yuan said: "Let him come to lunch tomorrow, so that he won't blame me for not giving him face."

Speaking of this, he looked at Guan Lu and winked: "He came so early, does that mean everything is ready?"

Guan Lu smiled and said: "He has made a lot of money by developing iron mines in recent years, so of course he dare not neglect the things ordered by the adults."

The door of the study rang again, and a voice came from outside: "My lord, Zhang Fei wants to see you."

"Oh, you come at the right time!"

Guan Lu hurried to open the door, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Fei walked over quickly and said with a fist: "My lord, the Jianghu manpower has been arranged and can be used at any time."

"In addition, the manpower has been expanded, and Geng Qing is here."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "He? On his own initiative? ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, Weiyuan Escort Agency has done well in the past two years, so it is going to move into Shenjing. Geng Qing and Chu Wanping came together and now live in the manor of Weiyuan Escort Agency in Shenjing."

"He took the initiative to find me through people in the underworld and wanted to join."

Zhou Yuan said, "Let the couple come to dinner tomorrow, and I will talk to him in person."

"Yes."

While he was talking, he picked up the tea on the table and took a big sip, then smiled and said, "I traveled all night and I am thirsty and hungry."

Guan Lu said, "But this is my cup."

Zhang Fei said, "It's bad, then I won't get sick, right?"

"Your mother..."

The two of them walked out with their arms around each other.
