Chapter 485 An ordinary day
Looking at the large table of dishes and the Lu family members sitting around it, Lu Shian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It turns out that only those who have experienced life and death can achieve enlightenment.
The meal had just begun and everyone kept picking up food for Lu Shian.
Lu Jingxun: "Shi'an, come, try this, it's delicious, eat more."
Madam Yongkang: "Que'er, is the chicken soup I asked you to cook for the two young ladies ready? Bring it to the two young ladies quickly."
Yu Xiuying: "Shi'an, this is the brown sugar bun you wanted to eat, please try it."
Lu Xianchun: "Even if you like it, don't eat too much. Just a few bites will do."
Ziyuan and Zhinian each took a large chicken leg and ate it. They heard everyone talking at once. They looked up at everyone blankly, then lowered their heads and continued to eat their own.
The eldest of the families, the Marquis, raised his glass and spoke in a low voice to the people at the table: "Today, while everyone is here, I will tell you about this. Lu Jinghui has been expelled from the Lu family tree. From now on, he is no longer a member of the Lu family. I, the Marquis of Yongkang, have only one son, Lu Jingxun. I have submitted a petition today. I am old, and it is time to pass on the position of Marquis."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang also said, "The rebellious son is in this situation because his mother has an unshirkable responsibility."
Lu Jingxun tugged at the sleeve of the wife of the Marquis of Yongkang: "Mother, they are already outsiders. What outsiders do has nothing to do with us. Don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry? Our mansion almost..."
Fortunately, everything was safe in the end, which is why they are sitting here chatting today.
The harmony in the Marquis' Mansion that day seemed unreal. Lu Shian said so, and Lu Xianchun also said so.
Only Yu Xiuying looked up at the big sun in the sky.
Sure enough, within a few days, the emperor approved Marquis Yongkang's request and passed the title of marquis to Lu Jingxun.
In a blink of an eye, it was the wheat harvest season. After listening to the grain harvest reports from various places, the emperor smiled from ear to ear and praised Lu Shian again.
Just at this moment, Jing Moyuan appeared.
At this moment, Lu Shian's belly was already showing. Hearing Jing Moyuan coming, Lu Shian just frowned slightly.
"Is the Third Prince here to look for Princess Youran?"
In the hall, Lu Shian sat at the top. The prince was not there today, and Qin Jingzhi happened to be away too.
"I haven't congratulated the concubine yet."
Lu Shian silently covered his belly with his clothes.
"Thank you."
"I'll ask someone to invite Princess Youran over right away."
"No need."
Jing Moyuan opened the folding fan in his hand and said: "Today, this prince came here to ask for help from the concubine, and I hope that the concubine can lend a helping hand."
"Third Prince, please speak."
I don’t know if I can help her yet, so I’ll just listen to what he’s going to do first.
"This prince would like to ask the princess to give him some grain seeds."
Lu Shian raised his eyebrows.
Jing Moyuan continued: "Now the two countries have become friends and promised to help each other. The reason why the grain of Dayuan is so high now is because of your seeds. I wonder if you are willing to give some to our Wu Kingdom."
Lu Shian cleared her throat and took another sip of tea. She moved slowly and it was obvious that she was thinking.
But Jing Moyuan was not in a hurry at all. He just sat there and looked at Lu Shian.
After a long while, Lu Shian slowly put down the water in his hand.
She doesn't like drinking tea, and she drinks even less after she got pregnant.
Although they were not from the same country, she was still very happy that Jing Moyuan came to her personally to ask for help on behalf of the people.
Of course she hopes that all people have enough food to eat.
but……
But Lu Shian couldn't give him seeds easily.
"The Third Prince has been refusing to leave. Is it just because of this matter?"
"I dare not hide it from Concubine. It is indeed because of this matter."
The State of Wu had a large population and a small land area, and there was never enough food, so they were thinking about expanding their territory.
If we had this high-yield grain, the people would not have to go hungry.
"How about it? Princess, are you willing to help me and help the Wu Kingdom?"
"The Third Prince shouldn't have come today."
Jing Moyuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I am just a woman, how can I understand these things? If you want to take the food, you should ask the emperor of our Dayuan Kingdom for help instead of coming to me and making things difficult for me."
Jing Moyuan certainly wanted to go to the emperor and ask for help, but he would rather avoid the royal family to discuss the deal.
In fact, he had already approached the Shen family, but the Shen family rejected the deal.
He knew that Lu Shian was in the Shen family's rice shop, so he turned to Lu Shian for help. As he expected, Lu Shian did not agree.
"Why should you belittle yourself, concubine? Everyone can see your intelligence."
Jing Moyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "As long as the concubine is willing to cooperate with me, I can tell you a secret."
Lu Shian smiled and said, "I am not interested in the secrets you mentioned. If you have nothing else to say, please go back, Third Prince."
"Well, maybe the concubine is not very interested in this secret, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must want to know."
"Then go find the prince and tell him in person."
"Everyone knows that the concubine is deeply favored by the prince. If I could trade directly with you, that would be great."
"Then I'm telling you now, I won't trade with you unless the emperor personally issues an order."
"Don't you want to know Prince Duan's secret? And the secret mining of gold."
Secretly mine for gold.
Lu Shian immediately raised his drooping eyes and looked at Jing Moyuan: "You mean..."
Prince Duan? Lu Shian had suspected him from the beginning, but unfortunately he didn't find out anything.
Moreover, the emperor’s attitude is also confusing. Isn’t gold mining a serious crime?
Or is it that the emperor is kind and unwilling to kill people easily?
Seeing that Lu Shian was interested, the Third Prince also imitated Lu Shian and drank his tea slowly.
Seeing his attitude, Lu Shian's desire for knowledge faded a little bit.
Finally, she stood up and said, "I thought the Third Prince came to beg me, but I didn't expect that he came to negotiate. If that's the case, there's no need to talk any further."
Seeing Lu Shian getting up to leave, Jing Moyuan raised his voice slightly.
"The concubine said there was no need to talk further because I have confirmed one thing, that is, the gold mining is indeed related to Prince Duan."
"Why do you think Prince Duan risked his life to steal the gold mine?"
Why? It's not hard to guess. It's just for that position. Besides, his thoughts are not that hard to guess. If he didn't have any ideas, he wouldn't have hired someone to assassinate Li Hongting.
and many more……
Ever since Li Hongyu returned to Anjing, he has been living a secluded life, as if he did it on purpose.
What is he going to do?
Lu Shian had a bad feeling in his heart. He wondered if Li Hongyu would put rebellion on the agenda.
No way, she had just had a few days of peace and quiet, and now she was pregnant.
If a fight really breaks out, she doesn't know what will happen to others, but Li Hongting must die, and Li Hongyu will never let go of anyone who has anything to do with him.
