Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 148 Dowry

   Old Madam Qiao felt sour.

   Queen Qiao's words are talking about herself!

   At that time, Li Yuan's biological father came to ask for marriage to Qiao's daughter. One is an aristocratic family, the other is a scholar. The Qiao Li family got married, and it was a match for each other.

  What is hateful is that Li Yuan, that bastard, was not satisfied with marrying a virtuous wife, and actually flirted with Meng's daughter in private. Married the daughter of the Meng family as a concubine and entered the door, and had a concubine eldest son early. The first son was born two years later.

  Li Yuan only had Meng's mother and son in his heart, and his wife was neglected all the year round. Except for the 15th day of the first day, most of the rest of the time he stayed in Meng's yard. Although no one deliberately rubbed it, his daughter never had a comfortable life.

   Later, the eccentric mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, let her niece enter the house as a concubine.

   The concubine's room is the concubine's room. Which house has such a noble concubine? The cost of food and clothing is not much different from that of the main room. As a mother-in-law, she is lukewarm to her serious daughter-in-law, and has Qin accompany her all day long.

   There is also the Su family. With a humble and low status, he also entered the Li family's house with the appearance of a fox. Li Yuan went to the Su family one or two more times a month than to his wife's yard.

  The Su family also gave birth to two sons.

   Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao was indignant for her daughter.

However, when the son-in-law became the emperor, Madam Qiao could no longer complain and scolded like before, she could only persuade: "His Royal Highness the second prince has grown up, and he is about to marry a wife and have children. Sun."

  The husband is unreliable, but it is still safe to rely on the son.

   Queen Qiao nodded slightly, and said softly, "King Xingyang has great achievements in battle, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one general of the Great Wei Dynasty. No one knows the name of the Xingyang Army for its bravery. It is also a good thing for Yu Ajing to have such a Yue family."

  Some words, even in private, cannot be bluntly spoken.

   Mrs. Qiao said meaningfully: "There is your father in the court, and there is King Xingyang, and the empress just needs to be at ease."

   belongs to the second prince, no one wants to take it away.

  …

   The time before marriage passed in a flash.

   In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of February. The wedding day is tomorrow. On this evening, Lu Mingfang and his wife, Lu Minghua and his wife, both returned to their parents' homes.

  Lu Minghua was very careful in his words and deeds, rubbing his flat abdomen from time to time.

   Zhou Li was even more happy.

   When everyone sees it, they know the clue.

   Lu Lin asked with a smile, "Is there any happy event?"

  Lu Minghua was too embarrassed to open his mouth. Zhou Li said with a smile: "There is indeed a happy event to tell my father-in-law. Minghua is pregnant."

  Lu Minghua was happy after only two months. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. Zhou Li was even more overjoyed. He became a parent later than others, and he was nineteen years old after the new year. It's not too early to be a father at this age.

   Lu Lin was very happy when he heard the good news: "Okay, it's really a big happy event."

   Several brothers and sisters congratulated Lu Minghua.

  Lu Minghua's cheeks were slightly red, and he said softly, "The doctor told me to take good care of the baby in the first three months. However, I have to go back to the house for the big happy event such as the marriage of the fourth sister."

   Zhou Li also smiled and said, "I'm thinking of staying with Minghua at her parents' house for a few days. After the fourth sister returns, it won't be too late for us to go back."

   As a father-in-law, I am naturally happy to see my son-in-law attentively.

   Lu Lin smiled and glanced at his daughter-in-law Shen Lan subconsciously. Speaking of which, it has been four months since Shen Lan visited the house, but she still has no good news...

  Lu Fei coughed and said, "Don't worry, foster father, within half a year, I will definitely announce good news to foster father."

   He can only return to his home every five days. Naturally, it is not as good as Zhou Li and Lu Minghua being together day and night.

   Shen Lan blushed and pinched Lu Fei quietly.

   Lu Fei had rough skin and thick flesh, his face did not change, he only reached out and held Shen Lan's hand. In front of everyone, she showed a wave of affection.

  Lu Mingyu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression was calm, and there was no shyness at all. He also made fun of his brother and sister-in-law with everyone. Lu Fei replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness the second prince is not too young. He is seventeen this year. When you get married, you have to be happy earlier."

   As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lan glared at him: "One day I didn't get married, and one day I was still a girl's house. What are you talking about in front of Xiaoyu?"

   Actually, Xiaoyu is not shy at all, okay? Sitting there smiling, more calm and generous than him!

   Lu Fei muttered in his heart, and honestly admitted his mistake and apologized: "Yes, yes, I am a big brother, and there are a lot of fourth sisters, so don't have the same knowledge as me."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and teased: "Second brother has also learned to be duplicitous. In fact, I was thinking in my heart, I am right at all, but I have to apologize, and there is no reason for it."

  Lu Fei touched his nose: "Fourth sister still knows me."

  The crowd laughed.

  …

After the family banquet was over, Lu Lin called his daughter into the study and privately printed one party to Lu Mingyu: "You take half of the family's personal soldiers. Lu Yi will also go to the Second Prince's Mansion with you. If you have anything in the future, you can just tell me. Let Lu Yi do it."

   "This side's private seal can mobilize all the secret guards of the Lu family. The total number is about 2,000. However, it is easily unavailable on weekdays."

  Not long after the Great Wei established the dynasty, many rules followed the previous dynasty. As a military general, depending on the level, you can raise some personal soldiers. However, the quantity is also strictly regulated.

   For example, the Duke of Xingyang, the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Puyang, could only have 500 personal soldiers.

   Actually, as a military general, how can you not raise private soldiers?

   These two thousand secret guards are the "family wealth" that Lu Lin has secretly accumulated over the past ten years. Compared with the Grange shops on the bright side, this is the real "family business" of the Lu family.

  Daughter cannot lead the army. The 50,000 Xingyang Army will be led by Lu Fei in the future. These two thousand private soldiers and secret guards, Lu Lin gave them all to Lu Mingyu.

   This scene is almost the same as the previous life.

   In the previous life, Lu Lin privately printed this party to her the night before his marriage. These two thousand Lu family's private soldiers, after she got married, all belonged to Li Hao.

   Thinking of the old things, Lu Mingyu felt sour in his heart.

   Lu Mingyu, who loved Li Hao wholeheartedly in his previous life, was really blind.

   "Father, I don't want this private printing." Lu Mingyu whispered: "Father will lead the army in the future, and it is always good to have more people. I marry into the heavenly family as a daughter-in-law, and I don't need so many private soldiers."

  Lu Lin said: "You are wrong to think so. It is precisely because you are marrying a prince and acting as a prince's concubine that you need more manpower."

"Xiaoyu, in the future, my father will lead the troops to fight, and I don't know how long I will be fighting outside. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to come back in time to support you. These two thousand private soldiers will be given to you by my father. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you will You are Welcome."

  Lu Lin restrained his smile and said in a low voice, "Even if you cause a big disaster, you must protect yourself first. Xiaoyu, in Dad's heart, nothing is as important as your life."
