Chapter 436 Leave it to You
Qin's mother then told her about the Hou brothers and sisters coming to visit relatives and Hou Shuang's proposal.
Lu Songli was slightly surprised. She was not at home on the day when the Hou brothers and sisters came to visit relatives. After she came back, she heard her sisters-in-law mention it, but she did not expect that there would be such a thing in the middle.
Hou Shuang is a very capable person. Not long after arriving in Liaodong County, he joined the army and is now a centurion.
For Qin's mother, the eldest brother is the only one who is alone among the four brothers, which makes her, an old mother, feel very uncomfortable.
"Mom, I think you'd better ask your eldest brother about this." Lu Songli said.
Lu Songli could understand her mother-in-law. Everything was fine in the Qin family now. Her second and third brothers and they were all in pairs and had their own families. Seeing her eldest brother alone, she couldn't help but worry.
Mother Qin said, "Isn't it because your eldest brother hasn't been back recently?"
Lu Songli also knew that Qin Heng had been living in the military camp training soldiers recently and had indeed not returned.
The Qin brothers had been closely monitoring the war in the northern border. The northern border was a place their Qin family had always protected. If the battle between the northern border and the Wuhuan ended as they had anticipated, it would prove their previous speculation correct. Therefore, the Qin brothers felt a strong sense of crisis. After the eighth day of the first lunar month, they all returned to the barracks.
Mother Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, it's not just your eldest brother, but also your fourth sister-in-law. She is still so young——" She couldn't bear to guard her for the rest of her life.
"Mom, at this time our Qin family is still a refugee family. What good can we say about marriage?" Qin Sheng said indifferently.
Lu Songli also said, "Mother, my husband is right. Good things are worth waiting for. Even if Big Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law want to take another step, we don't have to rush. Besides, this is Big Brother's lifelong event, so we have to ask him what he thinks. Or let Ah Sheng go and ask Big Brother privately."
Mother Qin looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng immediately said, "I'll go get my brother back tomorrow."
Lu Songli did not approve of her eldest uncle and fourth sister-in-law considering marriage at this time.
Now that the Qin family has fallen into poverty, there is no urgent need for the eldest uncle to marry. If someone comes to propose marriage at this time, it is very likely that they are looking to pick up a bargain.
And according to their previous estimates, the Xianbei are likely to move south and invade Dali at the end of this year.
Her prediction was even bolder. Lu Songli felt that the Xianbei and other foreign tribes would definitely move south on a large scale, rather than just making small moves as before.
Moreover, the Qin brothers have all started to have some ideas because of Song Mo's harsh treatment of the Qin family, but her mother-in-law doesn't know about it yet.
It's not the right time to propose marriage now. It's better to wait and choose someone who shares the same ideals later.
Seeing that his mother still felt it was a pity to miss this marriage, Qin Sheng made up his mind and told her what happened on the road when he was leading the grain team back to Liaodong County from the south.
As Qin Sheng spoke, he glanced at his wife out of the corner of his eye.
Lu Songli was not surprised, as she had heard about this.
However, when Qin's mother heard this, she frowned slightly. Hou Ya's behavior was quite inappropriate. Although Hou Shuang stopped her later, Hou Shuang should not be a matchmaker between Hou Ya and her eldest son again.
"Forget it. No need to tell your brother. I'm going back to my room. You two should go to bed early."
As Qin Sheng saw his mother off, he said, "Really, don't you need to tell Big Brother?"
Mother Qin was in a bad mood and gave him a sidelong glance. "What are you talking about? There's nothing to say!"
Qin Sheng was scolded by his own mother, what could he do but endure it.
It was getting dark, and Qin Sheng personally sent the person back before turning back.
Lu Songli was changing her clothes and preparing to rest.
When Qin Sheng came back and saw it, his eyes lit up.
Lu Songli waved towards Qin Sheng, "Come here, I want to tell you something."
Lu Songli asked him to sit opposite her.
Seeing her serious expression, Qin Sheng quickly straightened his attitude.
"Husband, can we not have children for the next few years?" In fact, after her body was adjusted, her menstrual flow had returned to normal, but she still felt a little uncomfortable during those few days.
It is still a little difficult to get pregnant at the moment, but it is not absolutely impossible.
However, the next two or three years would be crucial. It could be said to be a matter of life and death for both the Qin and Lu families. Furthermore, besides the Qin and Lu families, there were so many people behind them...
She really can't get pregnant, and then distract her attention.
This matter requires Qin Sheng's cooperation. She doesn't want this matter to affect the relationship between husband and wife, so she has to make it clear to Qin Sheng.
"Well, don't have children." Qin Sheng agreed with this point. He had always thought so. Lili's body was indeed not suitable for pregnancy.
Lu Songli told him her concerns and the days of the safe period. Seven days before and eight days after was only relatively safe, so she changed it to three days before and four days after.
Then Qin Sheng counted the days he could be close to his wife and found that there were only six or seven days a month. It was a bolt from the blue!
Lu Songli didn't say anything, ready to let him digest it slowly.
Compared to not having sex once a year before, he can now be intimate with his wife six or seven days a month, which is already very good. He is very content.
Soon, Qin Sheng comforted himself.
Qin Sheng's eyes rolled, and he took the opportunity to hug Lu Songli tightly and began to put forward conditions, "Then Lili, you have to promise me..."
"Okay, I promise you—"
…
Not long after the Chinese New Year, Lu Desheng chose an auspicious day with fine weather and moved his family to the governor's mansion in Liaoxi County.
The development of Liaodong County is on the right track, but the other three counties are still in a pitiful state.
On the day of the move, the streets of Houcheng were filled with ordinary people. Everyone was reluctant to say goodbye, and some even spontaneously followed the moving team.
The people in Lu's mansion repeatedly advised them to return, but they refused to listen.
Finally, there was no other choice, so Lu Desheng stepped in personally and said, "Fellow villagers, please go back and stop sending us off."
Xue Xu chimed in, "Yes, we all know that everyone is reluctant to part with Lord Lu, but Lord Lu is still serving in Pingzhou. He just moved his office from Liaodong County to Liaoxi County. It's only one county away, so it's not far."
"Master Lu, please leave us alone."
"Yes, since you took office, how much have you done for our Liaodong County? What's wrong with us seeing you off? As Lord Xue said, it's not far from Liaodong County to Liaoxi County."
Lu Desheng:...Forget it, I can’t persuade him.
In the end, Lu Desheng could only ask the guards to pay more attention to the common people following behind.
When the team arrived in Liaoxi County, many common people came to the street in front of the governor's mansion to spontaneously welcome the arrival of Lord Lu.
The common people from Liaodong County who came with them told the people from Liaoxi County, "We have handed Lord Lu over to you. You must be obedient and love him well, okay?" The people who gave the instructions had a sour tone.
The person who was confessed felt happy but also terrified.
Lü Desheng: Is he so beloved? But he didn't do anything.
