Chapter 249 I understand you
After the upgrade, the voices of the heart can be heard a hundred steps away. Song Junyan had something private to say at such a long distance, so he didn't dare to set the location in a busy city with people coming and going.
When he found that Lu Xinran did not get off the car immediately, he immediately guessed Kong's concerns and asked the servant to add another sentence.
After hearing that Lu Xinran was going to be taken to the palace, Kong instantly realized Song Junyan's concerns.
She stopped trying to stop him and patted Lu Xinran's arm: "Go back home earlier. If it's inconvenient for the palace to send you there, have someone send a letter to the palace and I'll have someone come pick you up."
Lu Xinran smiled and nodded in agreement. How could there be no one at the palace who could take her back?
Song Junyan's subordinates all seem to be very useful~
In the palace, Song Junyan, after dismissing the servants, told them directly that Lu Jinchuan had come to him to inquire about his feelings.
"I still need to consider your grandfather's behavior..."
He was still considering his words when Lu Xinran waved his hand and said, "Don't consider me. If you think he is useful, then use him. If you think he is just a fence-sitter who can't be put on the stage and add any help, then ignore him."
Lu Jinchuan is an old scumbag who is selfish to the core. He is completely unreliable.
If possible, no matter what the considerations are, it is best to abandon this kind of old scumbag without hesitation.
Song Junyan listened to her thoughts and chuckled, "Okay, then I'll think about it again. A letter has been sent from the border, saying that my mother and the two generals are already preparing to retake Yucheng Pass. If everything goes well, Yucheng Pass can be retaken in three months at most."
"Three months? So fast?"
Lu Xinran was a little confused. Wasn't the situation there still miserable when they came back?
"My father ordered the Minister of Revenue in the court today to gather another 10,000 dan of grain and fodder and send them to Hanyu Pass within half a month."
Not only food and fodder, but also the armaments needed for the war must be sent over.
Although everyone in the court was speculating why his father had suddenly become so radical and concerned so much about the border war.
But the only one in trouble was the Minister of Revenue, and since the trouble would not fall on him, the others also hoped that the war would end soon.
"Your father," Lu Xinran frowned again and again, and finally couldn't help asking, "Will he not abandon the donkey again this time?"
With so much food and military equipment being sent over, once the war is over, given the emperor's suspicion and jealousy, will he really allow Xie Lang and Qi Yu to continue to command the troops?
Song Junyan thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Probably not."
Even if his good father would become suspicious again, given Xie Lang's character and ways of doing things, he would not give his good father the opportunity to get rid of him.
“Perhaps, Yucheng Pass can be easily captured, but the war will not end easily.”
As long as Chahar still poses a threat, the two border cities in the northwest need to be guarded.
Perhaps one day Ma Linyuan will be familiar with the terrain and topography of the northwest, the tribes outside the Great Wall, and know how to meet the enemy and guard the border.
That day may be very far away.
Lu Xinran nodded thoughtfully: "That's good too. It's best to have them at the border."
As long as the military power is in their hands, the emperor cannot touch the Zhang family.
Song Junyan thought much longer term than she did, but there were some things that had not been planned in detail, so he didn't want to talk to her about them casually.
"Did you go to the Tang Mansion today?"
"Ah."
Speaking of the Tang family, she gave a general account of Liu's thoughts.
She mentioned Lu Xinlan's marriage out of some ulterior motive, wanting to see how the male protagonist of the original book would react when he heard that Lu Xinlan wanted to discuss marriage.
Song Junyan didn't react much. In his eyes, Lu Xinlan was just an elder sister with whom he got along very well.
They can talk about anything, but that doesn't mean he has to pay attention to all of them.
His expression was indifferent, and he only nodded slightly as she spoke, which made Lu Xinran feel inexplicably complicated.
"What do you think of this marriage?"
"I?"
Song Junyan lowered his eyes and looked at her. At this moment, he couldn't tell what she was trying to test.
But as long as it was her problem, he would reply to her seriously.
He lowered his eyes, and after a moment he replied uncertainly: "Marriage is naturally decided by parents and matchmakers. If Old Madam Lu and Madam Lu think this is a good match, then it's good."
If the Lu family feels that it is not suitable, then they can look at it again, that's all.
He was just short of writing the words "Who Lu Xinlan marries is none of my business" on his face.
The serious and somewhat funny excuse made Lu Xinran burst out laughing: "You should know that my sister and I have always been good friends. If she knew what you were thinking, she would definitely find a way to get the Tang family to help you and me after she married into the Tang family. So, what do you think of this marriage?"
Song Junyan: "... Marrying is a lifelong event. Who to marry and where to marry into is not what you and I think, but what Lu Xinlan should think."
"You really think so?"
Lu Xinran's eyebrows curved, and she was obviously very satisfied with this answer.
Song Junyan shook his head helplessly: "Yes, next time if you have anything to ask, just ask me directly, there is no need to test me in this way."
Since he had already opened his heart to her, he naturally would not hide anything from her.
Lu Xinran nodded with a smile, but still wanted to defend herself: "I didn't test you, I just asked sincerely."
She wondered how far he would stretch the line to get that position.
Although it did seem like a trial, the result made her very satisfied.
My grandmother's evaluation of him is very accurate.
Song Junyan looked at her with a smile and did not argue with her.
Lu Xinran was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to talk about the things he had seen in the booklet today about the Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery.
Song Junyan's face darkened when he heard this. Today at the morning court, his father had asked about the old uncle's health.
He could feel that the sudden change in Yucheng Pass this time made his father begin to reflect on some of the decisions he had made over the years.
Especially since there were no available generals in the court, the emperor, who felt a sense of crisis, should have begun to reconsider the once warlike Cui family.
If the mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery has become so rotten, can the Cui family still revive?
"For your good father, whether the Cui family can be re-employed does not depend on the affairs of the inner house, but on how much ability the Cui family still has.
"Cui Shenglin has already gone to the border. If he can become famous at the border, the Cui family's opportunity will come."
Song Junyan was still a little confused by the situation and didn't want to think that the emperor was too realistic and harsh in every aspect, but Lu Xinran didn't have such concerns.
The emperor's little thoughts were too easy to figure out with the help of the system.
"With the marriage proposal to Zhang Shui'er, the Queen will definitely ask General Xie to give Cui Wu a chance."
Given Cui Shenglin's character, he would definitely find a way to seize the opportunity once it comes his way.
Therefore, even though the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is now extremely corrupt, the emperor, who is short of generals, will still go against the majority opinion and give the Cui family a chance.
Song Junyan hid his eyes and said, "I understand your idea. I will make the arrangements."
