In the Lu family in Baishun Hutong, after Lu Guangren was sent back to the house by the guards, many people came to visit him one after another, either relatives, friends of Lu Guangren, or people who had received his kindness.
The common people could not enter the Lu family's gate, so they greeted each other at the door. Some people also brought eggs and other gifts, but the housekeeper returned them.
Lu Guangren lay on the couch. After the last cousin left, he blinked and asked his wife Zhou to help him up.
"You bad old man, I told you a lot yesterday to take it easy and don't make yourself too embarrassed. It would be better for you... to lie on the bed for three to five months. If someone comes to visit you frequently recently, I think How do you pretend..."
Lu Guangren felt aggrieved when he heard this and said: "Madam, it's not that I want to lie down for three to five months. It's our doctor who said that I have signs of a stroke and must rest. Otherwise, I will be unable to speak or move my legs in the future, and people will become confused." , we have to listen to the doctor."
"Which doctor? Jiang Liyuan, the director of Taiyuan Hospital?" asked Mrs. Zhou.
The imperial doctor said her old man's injury was too serious.
"No." Lu Guangren shook his head and glanced at Meng Shu.
Zhou understood instantly, coughed softly and said: "Then you listen to Shu'er, take a good rest, and don't talk in front of others, so as not to reveal your secrets! Speaking of which, it was thanks to Shu'er that your injuries were so severe that the Queen Mother The empress is a little relieved, otherwise we, the Lu family, might be in for a big disaster..."
Lu Guangren: "..."
He thought his wife was going to make the decision for him.
It turned out that I was happy for nothing.
"Yunzhen, Shu'er, you guys pack up and go to Guiyun City early!" Lu Guangren looked at his daughter and granddaughter and said lovingly.
"I understand what my father means. It's just that at this juncture, our mother and daughter are in a hurry to leave for Guiyun City, which makes the Queen Mother even more afraid. I'm afraid we won't be safe along the way." Mrs. Lu said quickly.
"With Shu'er's ability, I can ensure that you arrive at Guiyun City safely. Yunzhen, today is different from the past. Today in the court, our Lu family offended the Queen Mother severely. In addition, the emperor asked Huaiyuan to take charge of Qinghuai City and train 20,000 people." The Navy, throughout the entire dynasty, has the greatest military power.”
"In the eyes of the Queen Mother, whether it is the Meng family or our Lu family, they are the emperor's confidants. Based on my understanding of the Queen Mother, even if she can't touch me and Huaiyuan for the time being, she will find a way to express such evil. You and Shu'er is extremely important to me and Huaiyuan, and since we are both women, we can easily be plotted. It is too dangerous to stay in the capital, so it would be better to go to Guiyun City."
The Queen Mother wanted to take revenge, so she vented her anger first, most likely plotting against his daughter and granddaughter.
The rest of the Lu family and Meng family are not in such danger for the time being.
Only their mother and daughter are special.
The Queen Mother is a person who must retaliate against others, and since she is a high-ranking Queen Mother, she will naturally not tolerate such a tone.
"Mother, what grandfather said makes sense." Meng Shu said softly.
Return to Cloud City!
That was the place she wanted to go back to in her dreams.
She came to Beijing this time to fulfill her engagement and get married, but she didn't know that so many things happened before and after.
Now, it's time to leave!
"Don't think I don't know. You have itchy hands and want to go back to the northwest. You want to go to Qinghuai City to help your father train." Madam Lu said angrily.
Although she is very happy that her daughter is a strong martial artist and a woman, but aren't they still in the capital now?
Can't this girl restrain herself a little?
When Guiyun City is mentioned, his eyes light up. People who don't know better think how bad the capital city is.
In fact, Mrs. Lu also missed her husband Meng Huaiyuan.
But something happened to the Lu family, and her father was "seriously injured." Of course, as a daughter, she couldn't leave at this time.
However... her father and daughter know more about government affairs and current situation than she does, so she should listen to them!
"The daughter really wants to help her father train soldiers, but the mother still understands her daughter." Meng Shu said with a smile.
When Mrs. Lu heard what she said, she couldn't help but sigh.
As a mother, of course you want your daughter to live a stable and comfortable life.
Being a female general is not easy, it is hard and tiring, and when you get old, you may still suffer from injuries.
This was the daughter she loved like a drop of her eye, how could she be willing to suffer such a pain.
But this girl was so determined that she wanted to be a female general and didn't want to get married at all.
As a mother, she can only advise, but cannot make the decision for her daughter.
This girl in her family has always had an idea since she was a child, otherwise she would not have said that she would not marry and would become a female general.
Perhaps for my daughter, going to Qinghuai City to train as a navy officer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As a mother, she felt something was wrong in her heart.
"Shu'er, you have to think about it. There is still a long way to go in the future. Mother is worried that you will regret it when you are old." Lu said seriously.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't spend my whole life killing enemies on the battlefield. My daughter knows this." Meng Shu nodded.
"It's better to go to Guiyun City sooner rather than later. Let's go in a few days!" Lu Guangren waited for his daughter and granddaughter to finish talking before speaking.
"Yes, my daughter listens to her father. After she returns, she will have her bags packed and we will set off in a few days." Ms. Lu smiled and nodded. If she was going to travel far away, she would naturally have to choose an auspicious day.
When Meng Shu and her mother returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was almost dark.
"My slave, I pay my respects to Madam and Miss." Aunt Qi, who was beside the old lady, came out and said, "Mrs. Shen is here to visit. She has been waiting for a long time."
"Mrs. Shen is here!" Mrs. Lu turned her head and looked at her daughter, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and whispered: "Didn't she just come here before?"
Meng Shu rescued Shen Caiwei on the street the day before yesterday, and her mother Zhao personally came to thank her that day.
I didn't expect it to come again today.
The mother and daughter returned to the house and met Mrs. Shen at Songheju where the old lady lived.
Mrs. Shen comes from the Zhao family in Lianzhou. The Zhao family is the first family in Lianzhou. It has a big tree and deep roots. Many of the children in the family entered the court and became officials.
His elder brother, Zhao Chenghai, was the governor of Lianzhou and was in charge of military and political power. He was one of the thirty-six frontier officials in the dynasty.
Speaking of which, Meng Shu's eldest uncle Lu Jincheng was known as the most talented person in the capital when he was young. He made great progress during the scientific examination and was appointed by the late emperor to explore the beauty.
When the late emperor was in power, Lu Jincheng paid homage to the governor of Cangzhou in the west rank. Before the death of the late emperor, he personally issued an imperial decree and made Lu Jincheng the governor of Cangzhou in the third rank.
That year, Lu Jincheng was only thirty-three years old and became the youngest official in the imperial court.
If not, given the Queen Mother's dislike of the Lu family, Lu Jincheng would never be able to sit in such a high position.
It can only be said that the late emperor really thought highly of and admired Lu Jincheng, and had great trust and reliance on this person who once served as his companion.
The late emperor also told the Queen Mother before his death that he could entrust important responsibilities to the Lu family, especially Lu Jincheng. After serving as a feudal official for several years, he could be transferred back to the capital to be her right-hand man.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother resented Lu Guangren's failure every year and asked her to return to power as the emperor.
She hated the Lu family very much, so how could she listen to the late emperor and reuse the Lu family and his sons?
