Chapter 567 Returning to the Old Business
"If the prince succeeds, will the prince become the crown prince in the future?"
"Of course," San Ya said, "He's the eldest son! He's been the crown prince for so many years. Is it possible that his younger brother could surpass him?"
That would break the rules.
The main thing is that it seems that Liu Jian has corrected his crying habit and there are no more serious flaws.
He is smart, has good kung fu skills, and is very humble. He can get along with anyone.
Even from him, San Ya could understand why Prince Yan was so weak yet had such a good relationship with others.
The other advantages are so shining that they can overshadow the disadvantages.
Lu Qiniang said, "You're right. Wouldn't he then become the emperor? He would also have three harems and six courtyards."
San Ya threw away the melon peel in her hand and picked up another large piece. "Of course. He is no exception to the rules that others have. After becoming the emperor, he must follow the rules."
For the emperor, "sowing seeds" is also a task.
"Actually, being the queen wouldn't be that interesting. With so many women, who wouldn't want to share some of my favor? What do you think?"
"Mother, you worry too much. People have different ideas. We are full and want to live a comfortable life, but some people may not have enough to eat. If you give her a mother, she would be a fool not to do it."
She swept away a large piece of melon in one gulp and said incoherently, "Many people have a hard time at their parents' home. Maybe moving away would make things better!"
Lu Qiniang simply said, "Then I'll let you go, will you go?"
"I'm not stupid, why would I get involved?" San Ya suddenly realized, "Mom, are you afraid that I'll like Liu Jian and follow him?"
Lu Qiniang: "...I'm worried that you won't be able to let go."
"Then just say it directly, instead of beating around the bush." San Ya said with disgust, "I won't marry Liu Jian."
Before Lu Qiniang could relax, she heard her say, "I don't want to marry anyone. I've already told you that!"
"Weren't you still young then?"
"Well, now that I'm grown up, I'm telling you, I'm not getting married!"
Lu Qiniang thought about it and felt that it didn't matter if she didn't get married.
If you meet someone like Zhang Heyao, all the storms are brought by him, and you are indeed better off.
But there is also a slight regret.
I can't say it.
Because she wanted to find someone like Xiao Yan. Even if he didn't want anything in return, he would work hard at night.
Then still——
fine.
But I really can't say this.
never mind.
It will be fine when San Ya grows up a little bit.
As long as she doesn't follow Liu Jian.
San Ya has a pair of free wings and cannot be confined behind the deep palace walls.
As they were talking, Liu Jian came back with a bunch of barbecued meat skewers made of red willow leaves, and the aroma filled the air.
"Try it now, eat it while it's hot."
He shared the barbecue with Lu Qiniang and San Ya.
"Delicious." San Ya took a bite and praised, "Is it baked by Lao Guo in the east of the city? That place is delicious, but there's always a line."
"It's that one. I didn't have to queue when I went there today." Seeing that she liked it, Liu Jian smiled foolishly.
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, there was no queue, why did you take so long?
But she did not expose Liu Jian.
She thought of the past.
When she was this old, her eyes and heart were filled with one person.
This will not affect our future separation and separate lives.
Lu Qiniang thought of Song Mingzhen whom she met that day.
She could have ignored the incident at the Zhenbei Palace, but she still rushed back from thousands of miles away.
Why.
"Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to build a pigpen? When will you do it?" Liu Jian's words interrupted Lu Qiniang's thoughts.
"Oh, the pigsty. I'm looking for someone to come in a few days."
That’s right, Lu Qiniang plans to “return to her old ways”.
She should be able to stay in the Northwest for a few years.
She had to make people believe that she really wanted to stay in the Northwest.
"Count me in," Liu Jian said. "I'm strong too! If you need anything to buy or run errands for, just tell me, Auntie. Don't be polite."
"Who's being polite to you?" San Ya asked, "How much food have you eaten at my house?"
As Liu Jian grew up, he had an amazing appetite, completely different from the anorexic child he was.
"That's right, sister is right. Just tell me what you want me to do, aunt." Liu Jian said foolishly.
Lu Qiniang looked at him, feeling a bit speechless.
Liu Jian now clearly looked like a prospective son-in-law who was willing to work like a slave for his daughter in order to kidnap her.
She will still criticize San Ya intentionally or unintentionally in the future.
She didn't want to interfere in her children's marriages, but marrying the emperor was absolutely unacceptable.
If Liu Jian had not become emperor, it would have been a truly wonderful marriage.
After a few days, Lu Qiniang started her pigpen project.
Not many people here raise pigs, and they are not very familiar with pig pens.
At first, Lu Qinniang was patient in teaching, but later she simply rolled up her sleeves, stood beside the newly dug foundation, and gestured on the ground with a sharpened wooden stick in her hand.
"This pigpen isn't just a pile of stones. The foundation needs to be deep and rammed solid, otherwise it'll collapse if the pigs push against it. This is the 'pen' where the pigs sleep. It needs to be high and dry. There needs to be room for them to roam around. Down here," she poked a trench with a stick, "we need to dig a drainage ditch that leads to the septic tank outside. Otherwise, the stench will be unbearable and the pigs will get sick!"
"Watch this! Let me show you!" Her voice was loud and clear, with an unquestionable decisiveness.
She deftly scooped up a large lump of sticky yellow mud and spread it steadily on a pile of foundation stones. Then, she expertly smoothed and compacted it with a mud trowel. Then, she picked up a large stone and pressed it firmly on the mud. She adjusted it left and right, pounded it firmly, spread more mud, and then piled up the stone...
With Lu Qinniang's demonstration, efficiency immediately improved a lot.
Lu Qiniang herself couldn't sit still and kept helping out.
You have to pay attention to your own affairs and take charge of them.
Liu Jian was helping her beside her, working until he was sweating profusely.
In an instant, dust was flying and the atmosphere was bustling with activity.
"Abandoned mother."
A familiar voice, which sounded much stranger but could be recognized at once, was heard behind me.
