Chapter 305: You can prevent it for a while, but can you prevent it for a lifetime?
As Lu Shao expected, Qiao Yu made great contributions this time.
The emperor directly promoted him to the rank of third-rank general and assigned him a separate army to lead.
I also hope that he can continue his efforts and take back all the cities lost by the previous dynasty.
He also gave Qiao Yu a general's mansion.
From these, the ministers all saw that the emperor thought highly of Qiao Yu and wanted to cultivate him vigorously.
In addition, Qiao Yu now has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo, and can be regarded as a rising star with a promising future.
Therefore, several princes wanted to win him over.
The Fifth Prince did not go directly, but asked Wu Zhiheng and his wife to go.
From the information he found out, Qiao Yu once had deep feelings for his mother Wen Xianglian.
If Wen Xianglian takes action, there is still great hope of winning people over.
Guanyongbo Mansion.
After Wu Zhiheng received the message from the fifth prince, he went to Wen Xianglian's courtyard.
At this time, everyone else in the room was sent out.
Wu Zhiheng looked at Wen Xianglian and said, "Your eldest son has returned to the capital, and today he was conferred the rank of a third-rank general by the emperor."
"He was also given a general's mansion."
Wen Xianglian had heard before that her eldest son had made great contributions and would return to Beijing with the Duke of Zhenguo.
However, he did not expect that he would be promoted to a third-rank general.
She was stunned, "He really came to the capital."
Then he asked, "Is his current status not low?"
Wu Zhiheng replied: "He is just in his early twenties and is already a third-rank general. He also has the support of his grandparents, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Princess Yong'an. He is considered a rising star in the capital."
"I heard that he is very good at fighting and has developed several new types of weapons. Even the emperor is counting on him to recapture the cities lost by the previous dynasty."
"As long as he doesn't die, he should have a bright future."
He felt very unhappy and sour about these things.
He had been through so much and finally obtained the title, but now he has only climbed to a third-rank official position.
But that guy fought in a war and became a third-rank general at such a young age.
He endured it just to be able to win people over to their side.
Unlike what Wu Zhiheng thought, Wen Xianglian felt a little excited.
After all, the reason why she had to behave herself in the Bo's Mansion was mainly because no one supported her except her husband.
As for my mother’s family, it’s just fake.
They didn't care about her at all, and they just pretended to give each other gifts during the holidays.
Her mother's family in the village is not only unreliable, but also requires a lot of help from her every year.
She is now living in fear all day long, fearing that her identity will be leaked out by that damn girl Qiao Ye.
So the wet nurse sent someone to send a letter back, saying that Qiao Ye asked Jiang Yilin to come back to find the prince.
She had asked her husband to find a reason to send the stepson away for a period of time.
Now his son has become a general and is highly valued by the emperor.
As long as she could win his heart, she wouldn't have to worry about others belittling and looking down on her even if her identity was exposed in the future.
She will also be more confident when facing the dead old woman in the Marquis' Mansion.
After all, her son can support her.
But it didn't show on the face.
She looked at Wu Zhiheng tenderly and said, "It's good that he has come to the capital. Let him help take care of Lei'er more in the future."
Wu Xianglei is the son of her and Wu Zhiheng, and is loved deeply by the couple.
These words really made Wu Zhiheng's frown relax, "Yes, they are brothers after all, they can support each other in the future."
This is also a benefit he took into consideration.
Then he said, "Find a chance to meet Qiao Yu in the next two days."
"I heard that he asked for leave to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and then he will go directly back to the border from Mayu County."
If you want to build relationships, you have to hurry up, otherwise it will be troublesome if you miss it.
Wen Xianglian nodded, "Okay, I'll go visit him tomorrow."
She asked, "Where does he live now?"
The general's mansion was just granted, so it is definitely not habitable yet.
But he could let his son be handed over to her first, and she could help him take care of it secretly.
She could also take advantage of the situation to place some of her own people in the general's mansion and use them for her purposes in the future.
It is said that generals leading troops on the border can seize a lot of good things from the enemy as long as they repel or defeat the enemy, and then everyone can get a lot of it.
You can also get some jewelry and other things from the Western Regions.
This was also tacitly agreed upon by the imperial court. In order to make those generals fight hard and lead their troops, they had to give them some benefits.
And it is difficult to eliminate.
After all, it is still those people who decide how much is obtained and how much is reported.
She had heard a general's wife bragging about it at a party before.
She showed off how much her husband at the border had gotten and the jewel rings and bracelets on his hands.
She felt a little sour when she saw it.
She also wanted the jeweled ring and bracelet.
It is sold in specialized Western Region shops in Beijing or in overseas buildings, but the price is extremely expensive.
Half of the money in the Bo family is in the hands of that dead old woman.
The money she had was all given by her husband. If it was a public account, the old lady would often check the accounts, so she couldn't buy it herself.
So she could also ask her son to give her the things he got at the border for safekeeping.
It is only right that I show more filial respect to her as her mother.
Also, when you meet your younger brothers and sisters, you have to give them some gifts, right?
Moreover, my son came directly to Beijing from the border and has not yet met that dead girl.
You won’t know what happened in the past.
As long as she complained to him properly, she would give him the motherly love and care he had been missing for so many years.
If she could win his heart over, even if he went back to the village to see Qiao Ye, he wouldn't be affected much and wouldn't be alienated from her as his mother.
Maybe I can convince Qiao Ye not to care about what happened in the past.
After all, in her memory, before she left, her son was very dependent on her and listened to her in everything.
Whenever she was upset at home, her son would secretly go to the mountains to pick wild fruits or flowers and come back to comfort her.
There is no overnight hatred between mother and son.
She believed that her son would always have her as his mother in his heart.
Wu Zhiheng had already checked in advance, "He lives in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"Now the grandparents and grandchildren of the Duke of Zhenguo, as well as Princess Yong'an, all treat him as one of their own."
"I heard that he had just returned to the capital yesterday, and Princess Yong'an went to visit him specially, and even asked him to call her godmother as well."
"When the court was dismissed today, I heard that Prince Yi invited him to have dinner at Prince Yi's mansion tonight to welcome him."
It also shows that Qiao Yu is a very valuable person.
Whether it is the grandfather and grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo or the King of Yi, they are all targets that the princes try their best to win over.
Hearing these words, Wen Xianglian became even more excited.
The better the relationship her son has with these powerful people, the better it is for her.
My younger son will also benefit from it in the future.
She nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll plan to visit him tomorrow."
From the beginning to the end, she never thought that her son would disown her.
And at the same time.
Qiao Yu was taken to Tianxian Tower for lunch by Jiang Yilin's brothers.
He also specially introduced the children of noble families in the capital to Qiao Yu to help him expand his network.
Qiao Yu has a handsome appearance, but he does not have the roughness or burly toughness of a military general.
On the contrary, he has a tall and slender figure, and his temperament gives people a sense of gentle and elegant handsomeness.
This kind of appearance and temperament is more like a civil servant, and is also a popular type in the capital.
After introducing a circle of acquaintances, Jiang Yilin's brother took Qiao Yu from the lobby to the reserved private room on the third floor.
Just as I reached the second floor, I happened to meet a young man who was going downstairs.
Jiang Yilin's eyes lit up when he saw him, "Xiang Luan, when did you return to Beijing?"
This person is Wu Xiangluan, the eldest son of Guanyong Marquis’s Mansion.
Originally, Jiang Yilin wanted to talk to the other party about Wen Xianglian.
Who knew that before he returned to Beijing, the other party was sent back to his hometown by Guan Yongbo for some business.
Jiang Yilin could guess that the couple was wary of him.
But can you prevent it for a while, but can you prevent it for a lifetime?
This is what happened.
