The study door slowly closed behind him. Xu Wei asked, "How did you offend Lu Jiaxue? He rarely speaks, and the emperor usually won't offend him."
Luo Shenyuan was thinking about this door, and what Lu Jiaxue would say to the emperor.
Lu Jiaxue commands a large number of troops, so even if Zhu Wen has some suspicions, he dare not neglect him or ignore him.
"I don't know either," Luo Shenyuan said. There was no point in saying more. This time, he was screwed. The Pingyuan Fort incident had indeed not been handled properly, leaving behind trouble.
The palace was quiet and cold, with heavy snow piling up. He looked up into the distance.
Two days later, Yining was very surprised when she heard what he said about Guizhou.
"Third brother, how can you go to Guizhou!" Now that place is so dangerous, Wang Yuan's men are everywhere, and Zhou Shuqun will die. Even if he is a second-rank provincial governor, what will happen?
Luo Shenyuan was reading a book and she almost bumped into his tea.
He moved his teapot away. It was hot tea. He said, "It's not certain that he will go. Don't worry."
How could Yi Ning not be worried about him? Seeing him sipping tea leisurely, she said, "You're not in a hurry, so why should I be? I just want to ask you if there's a solution. If the emperor asks you to go, can you really go?"
Without even looking up, the third brother said, "Guizhou is in such a mess right now, it really needs someone to take care of it. If you ask me to go, I'll go."
Yi Ning looked at him, and Luo Shenyuan put down his book and said helplessly, "It's not easy for a Beijing official to be transferred out of town, especially since I'm the Minister of Works. The Ministry of Revenue has to discuss it and then submit it to the Cabinet for a final decision."
Luo Yining felt something was amiss. He was doing a good job in the Ministry of Works, so why would the Emperor transfer him out of town for no apparent reason? Guizhou was full of Wang Yuan's people. She thought of Lu Jiaxue's words and suddenly had a guess: "You were transferred out of town for no apparent reason, and to a place like that... But was it the Governor who proposed this?"
Banditry was rampant there, and even if he went there, it would be very dangerous.
Yi Ning could easily guess that if it weren't for her, her third brother's life would be even harder than in his previous life.
Luo Shenyuan immediately grabbed her wrist and said in restraint, "I only have one thing to say: Don't go find him."
She wouldn't go to Lu Jiaxue. What's the point in going to him? Even if she begged on her knees, Governor Lu probably wouldn't be moved.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Luo Shenyuan repeated in a deep voice: "Did you hear it?"
Luo Yining nodded, and he loosened his grip a little. Luo Yining knew that he didn't like him seeing Lu Jiaxue, but he didn't expect him to be so cautious. Yining asked him, "If you go to Guizhou, can I go with you? I heard that people who are transferred abroad often bring their families with them."
Luo Shenyuan was silent. The fire crackled and he said, "How can you go? Just stay home and take care of the family."
Luo Yining's concern touched him deeply. Having someone who cares about you makes you exist, no longer utterly alone, especially for him. He reached out to embrace her, but resisted. That place was so dangerous, and the Emperor was genuinely concerned about Guizhou. He wondered if he would send him there. But if he did, he would naturally leave her in the capital.
Yi Ning had been helping arrange Luo Yilian's marriage for the past two days, and then she heard this news. It took her a long time to recover. If Luo Shenyuan wanted to go, there was nothing she could do. As long as he returned after the five-year period, he would be promoted, provided he returned alive and had achieved political success. If he stayed in the capital, close to the emperor, he would eventually become the Minister of Works.
After looking at the guest list for a while, Yining felt a little sleepy and took a nap leaning against the table.
When Luo Shenyuan turned around, she was already asleep, her face hidden in the snow-white rabbit fur, like a delicate snowball, still childish. This was his little wife, he needed to take good care of her, maybe she would grow taller and bigger. Only then could he get closer to her, unlike now when he always restrained himself. In fact, for his age, he was afraid that every night of love would not be enough.
Maybe she will give birth to his child in the future.
Two children?
Looking at the flat belly and thin waist, Luo Shenyuan was a little afraid to imagine. He didn't like children very much, they were too noisy.
Luo Shenyuan was worried that she would not sleep well, so he carried her back to the Luohan bed and put her there. Then he changed his clothes and went to Luo Chengzhang to discuss the Guizhou matter.
When Yining woke up, it was already evening and Luo Shenyuan was no longer in the house.
Zhenzhu came to her and told her that Aunt Qiao was not satisfied with the dress Luo Yilian wore for her wedding and insisted on changing it.
Luo Yining was so worried that she hurried to Lin Hairu's place. Aunt Qiao was just complaining that the dress was not red. Lin Hairu could not help but sneer: "She is not getting married to the wife, but she is wearing the wife's color. This is ridiculous!"
Luo Chengzhang had already instructed that Luo Yilian's opinion must be prioritized no matter what. Lin Hairu endured it again and again, regardless of whether it made a fool of herself or not. This auspicious dress, which had been altered three times, had to be redone again, all the effort wasted.
On the fifth day, the maid who had gone to set up the bed returned, drank a sip of tea, and said to Luo Yilian with a flattering smile, "My young lady didn't go. The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is so grand and imposing. As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a huge screen wall, and the guards in the courtyard were all officers and soldiers. The governor really took great care of you. Although they don't observe the six etiquettes, I clearly saw that the mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. It was no different from a formal wedding! When other people get married in the Marquis' Mansion, the people on both sides consciously avoid it. There are even people in the mansion who clear the way. I have never seen such a grand occasion in my life."
The two Zhous who came to watch the fun were amazed when they heard this, and praised Luo Yilian for marrying well as usual.
Aunt Qiao felt more confident about altering her wedding gown. She brought the soup and said with a smile, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with wearing red. The most important thing is that the governor likes it. I think the sedan chair should also be altered."
Lin Hairu, who was against the red color, snorted coldly and said, "Then do you want people to change too?"
Aunt Qiao was a concubine after all, and her face turned pale when Lin Hairu scolded her in person, but she didn't dare to talk back.
Luo Yining dipped her brush in ink and said, "Madam Qiao, if you listen to my advice, Sister Lian will be a concubine after all, so it's best to keep a low profile. The Marquis's Mansion is not just about the Governor's lineage." She really hoped that Luo Yilian would be successful in her marriage. None of the other three wives of the Lu family were easy to get along with. She wondered if their personalities had changed over the years.
Aunt Qiao felt that as long as Lu Jiaxue doted on her, Luo Yilian could run rampant in the mansion without any problems. After all, no one dared to disobey Lu Jiaxue. No one understood the importance of a man's affection better than she did, so she ignored Luo Yining's words.
Yining looked at the yard full of festive things. Luo Yilian was getting married the day after tomorrow.
She suddenly remembered Cheng Lang's words. "Since he doesn't kill you, he must want you." Her inexplicable feeling of unease still persisted.
