Chapter 247 Today is not in vain
Lu Xinran didn't expect that her continuous "impoliteness" would make Liu determined to marry Lu Xinlan.
She listened to the system's reminder and was stunned.
How could this Liu family not play by the rules?
She had just disrespected her twice. Shouldn't she be angry and hold a grudge against her?
"You thought Tang Quyan and Liu were kind and tolerant. Since they are kind and tolerant, they will not argue with a junior like you."
Lu Xinran was speechless. She was actually taught a lesson by a commander.
However, since Liu was so discerning, she couldn't offend him again.
Lu Xinlan had approved of this marriage before, and she couldn't let it be ruined by her.
She put away the prickly look she had when she first entered the sect, and imitated Liu's graceful and graceful manner as she spoke of what she had seen and heard at Hanyu Pass.
He also described the ups and downs of the war in those days, causing everyone in the room to exclaim in amazement.
Before Wang finished listening, her heart was already in her throat.
The fifth child, who had been causing trouble for a while, had been making a fuss about going to the border, and her sister-in-law had been crying in front of the other sisters-in-law every day.
She was originally worried that something might happen to him when he went to the border, and now after hearing Lu Xinran say that it was so dangerous over there, she was a little panicked.
What would she do if what she said today got to the ears of her sister-in-law?
"Are the casualties so heavy here?"
"Yes, but it's much better now. With the explosives my sister developed, the casualties of our soldiers in Da Chu have been much less."
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Lu Xinran thought that Cui Shenglin had left the capital two days ago, and hurriedly explained: "Don't underestimate the explosives. Such a large package can kill dozens of people, and even horses. When I came back, Chahar had already withdrawn its troops from Hanyu Pass."
In order to prevent them from withdrawing their troops, Xie Lang took his men to throw explosives outside their military camp every night. He did not give them a chance to breathe during the day and challenged them every day.
She saw groups of deserters in the enemy camp, who would flee whenever they found a chance, regardless of whether they would be beheaded or not.
Speaking of this, everyone was amazed again and again.
"Ms. Lu is indeed extremely talented and intelligent."
Wang patted her chest and sighed for a moment, then she thought of her youngest son who had not yet been engaged!
If it were in the past, she would definitely have to take Lu Xinlan's background into consideration, but to be able to develop a weapon that could turn the tide of the battle, how smart and capable must Lu Xinlan be!
Marrying such an intelligent and wise daughter-in-law can bring prosperity to three generations.
Her mind turned for a while, and she looked at Lu Xinran with some eagerness.
"Second Miss, when do you think the war will end?"
"This……"
Lu Xinran thought that the war would end when the emperor stopped treating the soldiers at the border harshly.
Now with a lack of food and clothing, the soldiers simply cannot carry out a long-term siege.
Being able to defend Hanyu Pass and stop Chahar is already the limit.
Wang listened to her analysis, although it was a bit "treasonous", she still nodded in agreement.
"so!"
If Lu Xinlan had to wait until the war was over before returning, then she would have just enough time to find an intermediary to go to the Lu Mansion and propose marriage.
The wedding date of Lu Xinran and Song Junyan has been set for December. If Lu Xinlan's wedding date can be set before that, so that she can get married before her sister gets married, the Lu family will definitely agree.
Looking at Wang's secretly delighted expression, Liu couldn't help but grit her teeth.
She definitely made a stupid move today. Not only did she almost offend her aunt, but she also made a powerful enemy for herself!
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is considered a rare clean and respectable family in the capital, otherwise she would not have invited Wang and her family to her house.
But if she can appreciate the other party's decency, so can the Lu family!
What if they think that the Duke of Zhongyong’s Mansion is better, and Cui Shengqi is better than Tang Chongli?
She was anxious and didn't dare to let Wang and Lu Xinran continue chatting, so she quickly changed the subject.
Kong looked at everyone in the room with a smile. She came here today with a mission from Pei.
Although they have Lu Xinran's system as a guarantee, they don't need to doubt Liu's character too much, but for some things, relying solely on the system is not enough, and they also need to use their eyes and ears.
She originally came to see how satisfied Liu was with Lu Xinlan. Now, there was another family that had taken a fancy to Lu Xinlan, and it was the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion that was going to marry into the Duke's Mansion. This seemed like a good idea.
"Host, the Wang you are talking to has taken a fancy to Lu Xinlan."
"???"
Lu Xinran was talking and laughing, but when he heard the system's reminder, he could only finish half of the words he was saying.
[He actually has a crush on my sister, so I have to see if there is anything fishy going on in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion.]
Wang: “…”
No, when did this girl become so perceptive!
She was full of thoughts just now, but now her cheeks flushed slightly. Facing the gazes of others who were secretly looking forward to the show, she wished she could slap herself in the face.
[Hey, you know what, there are really interesting things in this loyal and brave mansion. ]
Everyone: "!"
Then you better tell me quickly!
I would rather die than have my friend die. Today’s trip was not in vain.
Liu also found a comfortable position and leaned on the cushion. She had to listen carefully to the big news of her "rival".
[There are so many people in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion! ]
[The old uncle and his wife are still alive, so the family has never been divided. Counting from the old uncle's side, there are eight branches in the uncle's mansion! ]
[Wang is the second wife of the eldest wife, and Cui Shenglin is the third wife of the second wife...]
Lu Xinran sees an old man looking at his phone on the subway. Why... is it so messy!
[The first and second houses are both legitimate children of the old man's wife, so they have a close relationship. Well, the fifth house is also legitimate, and the remaining houses are all illegitimate. ]
[Four generations live under one roof. There are hundreds of people in the Bo's Mansion, all of whom are masters. The Bo's Mansion, which was originally quite large, has no place to live. The concubines' children have three generations squeezed into one courtyard. ]
[The place is not big to begin with, and these people are keen on taking concubines! ]
Lu Xinran felt it was a bit offensive when she saw this, and Wang closed her eyes in despair.
It’s over. This girl saw all the dirty things that happened in the Bo’s house.
[As the number of concubines increased, the narrow courtyard could no longer accommodate them. At first, two people lived in one room, and later, three or four.]
[Later, the father's and his son's concubines lived together, and the concubines of several brothers lived together.]
Everyone gasped, not daring to imagine what the scene would be like.
With so many people, is it really necessary to play so extravagantly?
[Well, although it's a bit messy, there's still some basic sense of propriety and righteousness, and the father and his sons will tacitly stagger the rooms.]
[No one knows whose children the concubines have, and the illegitimate children of the Bo family are all counted randomly.]
[Some children were thrown into the manor to be raised when they were born. No one told them their true identity. When they were seven or eight years old, they would go back and forth to the mansion of the nobles to serve as servants for the masters in the mansion.]
