Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

Tang Zhan quickly bowed and returned the greeting: "I was rude for not handing you a visiting card in advance!"

Madam Lu bowed slightly and raised her hand to climb onto Gu Feiwan's arm:

"We heard a few days ago that the Eastern Barbarians were invading our borders again. We panicked for a while, but we saw that Madam was acting normal. The servants who went shopping came back and said that they saw Madam on the street. She was very elegant and remained calm in the face of danger! We who used to shout for war and killing are ashamed!"

Gu Feiwan raised the corners of his lips: "I really don't deserve Mrs. Lu's praise, it's just that I am ignorant and fearless!"

Changing the subject, she continued, "If you say I'm afraid, of course I am. However, the war has broken out suddenly. Ning Weizhou is my husband, and husband and wife are one. Now that he is at the front line, I naturally have to keep an eye on the rear for him!"

Tang Zhan took over the conversation: "Madam, you are absolutely right. That is why we are here!"

Madam Lu followed up and said, "Yes, after all, Western Shu is our hometown. If the enemy invades, we must contribute our part to feel at ease!"

Gu Feiwan's smile widened by two points, and he raised his hand and said, "Look at my memory. I only let the distinguished guest stand while talking. Please come in!"

"Qingshuang, take out the tea leaves we picked from Jiangnan and let the two distinguished guests have a taste of the freshness!"

Qingshuang received the order and responded crisply.

The group sat down in the front hall, and Qingshuang led two little girls to serve tea:

"Let me introduce this tea to you. This is fresh tea picked by our girl herself. She also learned how to roast it from the locals. She got two taels of it in total. She usually keeps it in a jar. The girl herself is reluctant to drink it!"

Gu Feiwan laughed and scolded, "Stop talking too much! How can it be considered a rare item? When you say that, it's as if it's a magical flower or herb in Tianchi!"

Madam Lu took a sip from the teacup and praised, "Good tea, not only is the fragrance overflowing, but the temperature of the roasting is just right. I only took a sip and I could feel the sweetness in my throat!"

Tang Zhan nodded: "It's good tea. Madam has a talent for making tea!"

Gu Feiwan waved his hands hurriedly: "You are all flattering me. I was just itching to do something when I was inspecting the tea garden, so I followed the tea pickers to make some. If you like it, I will have Jiangnan send it to you when the season comes!"

Mrs. Lu and Tang Zhan immediately put down their teacups and thanked him together. The atmosphere in the front hall immediately became lively.

"To be honest, Madam, I have discussed with Madam Lu before coming to visit you today. There are many cities in Western Shu, and the area is large. Our two families have lived here for generations. Because of business, we have people from our two families in every city. If Madam is at ease, we are willing to hand them over to you!"

After a cup of tea, Tang Zhanzhan got straight to the point and said, Mrs. Lu took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Gu Feiwan:

"These are the people that the Lu family has raised in various places for generations, as well as some of my mother's family's disciples and old friends. They are all people I can trust now."

Seeing this, Tang Zhan also took out a piece of paper and handed it over: "These are the people of the Tang family. They are the most capable at walking around the streets and alleys, and they can pass on information quickly. If they want to kill a spy, it is also their specialty!"

Gu Feiwan took the two pieces of paper with both hands, feeling both delighted and conflicted: "It is Ning Weizhou's luck and the people's blessing to have the help from your two families. I thank you on behalf of my husband and the people! But these are your foundations. If they are damaged, I will be so ashamed of both families!"

"Madam, don't worry. With the enemy at hand, defending West Shu is the most important thing!" Madam Lu said.

Tang Zhan immediately spoke up, "Where are the wars without casualties? The general led the soldiers to the front line to resist the foreign enemies. People like us usually only know how to fight and be aggressive. Now we can use our skills for the right reasons. This is our honor. Even if there is an accident, it is still a sacrifice for the country, which is better than dying in a fight!"

At the end of his speech, Tang Zhan had a carefree smile on his face, but more importantly, he was full of righteousness!

This person has lofty ambitions, but unfortunately he was born into a poor family.

"The Lu family dismissed many of their retainers. Before they left, I gave a bag of silver to anyone who said he was going to join the army, and promised that if they died in battle, I would give their families a sum of money as a pension." Madam Lu smiled slightly.

"Luckily, Lu Qirui has always presented himself as a chivalrous hero in front of others, and most of his followers are chivalrous as well. When they heard about the war, more than a hundred of them have already rushed to the military camp."

Tang Zhan said generously: "The Lu family used to be the overlord of Western Shu, with hundreds of retainers, and there are many people who are capable and want to make great achievements. Now is a good opportunity!"

Gu Feiwan heard this and looked towards Madam Lu, only to see Madam Lu smiling calmly:

"The Lu family is a dirty place that looks glamorous on the outside but is corrupt on the inside. Now they have surrendered to the general, and this is their bright future. I secretly think that if some of these people have a bright future in the future, they will remember that the Lu family once gave them a few full meals, and it would be even better if they take care of us a little bit!"

"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. If these people are really good, they will naturally think of the Lu family when they achieve fame and success in the future. The general will value those who know how to repay a favor more."

After Gu Feiwan said this, Tang Zhan and Mrs. Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief!

How can someone who has reached the peak really endure the trough?

There has to be someone in Western Shu who stands out and becomes the boss. If you sell it well now and seek for a chance to get to the top again in the future, this deal will definitely not be a loss!

With Gu Feiwan's assurance, the two of them finally felt relieved!

After a pleasant chat, Tang Zhan and Mrs. Lu readily left their own tokens of transfer.

Tang Zhan even declared that if he was needed on the front line, he would be willing to temporarily give up his position as the head of the Tang family and join the army to resist foreign enemies!

It was these words that were heard by Ali when he entered the room. Tang Zhan had the honor of being personally escorted out by his youngest sister!

Gu Feiwan handed the list to Ali and said, "Copy a copy and take it with you and Lou Yi."

Ali's face immediately fell: "There are so many words, why not let Lou Er copy them? He can't sit still anyway!"

Gu Feiwan glanced at him and said, "What did my second brother tell you before he left? Can you count how many big words you wrote along the way?"

Ali's face wrinkled like an old dough bun, and she muttered, "You still say I'm your second sister-in-law, and you should give in to me, humph..."

No matter how much she grumbled, Ali still went to the study reluctantly with the list in her hand.

After everyone left, Qingshuang was a little worried: "Miss, can you trust their people?"

Gu Feiwan wrapped up the tokens from both families, stood up and walked out of the front hall:

"The two of them are now able to control the people, and I'm afraid they have been their own for many years. It's hard for them to be willing to hand them over. As for whether they can be trusted, won't we know after using them?"

Qing Shuang followed behind Gu Feiwan and nodded when she heard it: "Miss, you are right. You can only know whether the scissors and awl are sharp after you use them. If they don't work well, grind off two layers of dust on the whetstone and they will work well!"

Gu Feiwan laughed and said, "Girl, you suddenly become more cunning when you speak!"

Qingshuang looked bewildered: "Ah? I sharpened the scissors this morning..."
