Chapter 440: Do it for me and my husband
"When will you grow some brains, kid?"
Old Master Hou glared at him with disappointment and sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty treats my family well, so we must not forget who we are. You, kid, follow those two out, be diligent and don't cause any trouble for me."
Hou Yuanji was scolded and felt very aggrieved: "Grandpa, look at what you said. Our Hou family is what it is today, isn't it all thanks to my cleverness?"
After today, who in the capital, let alone the younger generation, even the older generation, would dare to look down on him?
*
As Hou Yuanji expected, today's events caused a huge uproar throughout the imperial city.
Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin went to the Marquis's mansion in person to confer the title of Marquis Yuanji.
Not only did he take him on trips, he even let Old Man Hou, who had not attended court for a long time, supervise the government.
What an honor!
Take a walk around the streets around the Imperial City, and no matter where you go, you can almost hear about what happened today.
The wind direction has completely reversed.
"I never thought that Hou Yuanji, a playboy, could be so good at adapting to changing circumstances."
"Getting the other side to voluntarily offer twenty cities without sacrificing a single soldier is simply brilliant."
"Not only that, he was the first to report victory when he was fighting one against two.
If it weren't for the surrender agreement for those twenty cities, even Lord Du over there would be far behind Lord Hou."
Hou Yuanji, who was despised by everyone a day ago, was praised to the sky a day later.
Some upright people couldn't stand it anymore.
"You two must change so quickly. It was you who said he was insidious and cunning yesterday, right?"
Those who were exposed were not at all weak.
They confidently retorted, "We are just ordinary people, so it's normal for us to make mistakes. It's up to the Empress and His Majesty to see things clearly."
"Yes, since the Queen approves of them so much, then Hou Yuanji must have done the right thing."
"We were wrong, so we were wrong. It's his fault for being such a playboy for the past ten years. It's nothing to be ashamed of if we were wrong."
When these remarks were spread, they sounded helpless and funny.
Especially the leaders of other countries, they are so envious that their eyes are almost green with envy.
What kind of blind trust is this?
It is not easy to make everyone believe that a man who has been a playboy for more than ten years is a hero.
In Dasheng, it can be easily done with just one word from Lu Wanyin.
How could this not make people slam their hands on the table and say, "If I have such trust from the people, why should I worry about the prosperity of my country?"

The warm spring gradually passes and midsummer arrives.
Four months passed quickly.
Several troops that were dispatched returned victoriously one after another.
The last team also returned to Beijing to report in early July.
All the small countries that had had bad intentions towards Dasheng were dealt with.
The territory of Dasheng expanded by dozens of miles in all directions.
The reputation of the Da Sheng Iron Cavalry resounded throughout the world and was feared by all.
Xie Jing resigned in the court, and rewarded the generals according to their merits, which made other court officials envious.
The agreed time to leave Beijing is getting closer and closer.
Xie Jingci began to explain the work of each department to Mr. Hou.
It was too late for Mr. Hou to refuse at this time.
Thinking of Hou Yuanji, who was happily packing his luggage at his residence at this time...
This was the first time he envied his grandson so much.
Lu Wanyin glanced towards the gate, smiled and comforted him, "You'll have to work hard in the next few months, old man.
Now, you can choose any guard the old man wants. There are still three hours before departure, so take your time to choose."
What else could Mr. Hou say? Of course he agreed.
He glanced at Xie Jingci, who was so busy that he could hardly take his eyes off him, and reluctantly took his leave.
After he walked away, Xie Jingci, who was pretending to be busy, immediately put down his pen and said, "Where are Xunzhou and Zhiyu? We have to go and get them now."
"No rush."
Lu Wanyin helped him sort the approved memorials and said, "We won't be able to see grandma for a while. Let them spend more time with her."
I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well for a few days.
Lu Wanyin waited for two hours before heading towards the old lady's residence.
Both children are one year old.
As expected of a physique that has been completely transformed by the spiritual spring water, there has been rapid progress in all aspects.
He can jump and speak clearly.
Except for the height, his mental and physical abilities are far superior to those of a three or four-year-old child.
The old lady's yard was very lively.
Zhiyu and Xunzhou both changed into new clothes.
Xun Zhou sat quietly beside the stone table like a little adult, his chubby little hands adjusting the tassels on the jade pendant.
Zhiyu was spinning in circles on the empty space beside the table.
The bright skirt flutters gently like a beautiful butterfly.
Lu Wanyin walked in with a smile: "Grandma is making clothes for them again"
After returning to Beijing, the old lady had nothing to do, so she learned the craft of making clothes.
Lu Wanyin hired the best tailor in Beijing to teach her.
The old lady learned for several months and her skills are quite good.
From then on, every piece of clothing for the two little ones was made by her.
The old lady's smile was a little forced: "I just thought that since I won't be able to see the two children for a few months, I should do a few more.
By the time you come back, another winter will have passed.
Children are afraid of the cold, so you need to prepare some thick clothes."
The old lady summoned the maid to bring out a box. "These are thicker coats. And those are the ones I made from my extreme cold weather clothes. I wonder if they'll still be effective."
Lu Wanyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There are also children in the end times.
Extreme cold weather clothing, of course, also comes in children's sizes.
But the old lady had good intentions, and she didn't agree with her.
"Thank you for taking so much trouble, Grandma. I will definitely take all of these with me. These two children love wearing the clothes you make."
She put the box containing clothes into the space.
Seeing the deep reluctance in the old lady's eyes, she sighed and said, "Grandma, please go with us."
The old woman was startled, then smiled and shook her head: "No, no, with my current body, I only need to walk that kind of road once, so I will wait for you to come back in this palace.
After the New Year, these two children will definitely be much taller, and they will not be able to wear their current clothes.
When you are about to come back, you can help grandma measure the children's body shapes. Send a letter a month in advance and I will make a few more clothes for the children.
In the past six months, I have learned a lot of new things.”
The two children are different from ordinary people. Who knows how much they will grow in half a year.
She was afraid that she would do it too early and wouldn't be able to wear it when the time comes.
Lu Wanyin also laughed: "That's great, don't just focus on the two children, grandma's craftsmanship is so good, why not make two sets for me and my husband, otherwise, I'm a little envious when I see you."
In half a year, making a few sets of clothes can help me kill time.
The old lady was amused by her. She took her hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, I have both. I have both."
