The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

While her mother-in-law was talking to her niece-in-law who was the head of the household, Liu looked at her sisters-in-law.

"Third sister-in-law, why do we rarely see the second young lady going out recently?" Liu did not hear what Li asked Gu Jinchu, she asked with a smile.

When Gu Jinchu heard this, the wet nurse came over with two children in her arms and sat on the kang near the window.

"Yes, when I saw the Third Miss today, I realized that I haven't seen the Second Miss for a long time." After she said that, she waved to Zhu Jie'er who was beside Liu to come over, and said this casually.

After Fifth Master said that, Gu Jinchu carefully recalled what had happened recently in the Third House.

After the Third Lady and the Third Master had a quarrel, the two of them treated each other with respect, making Lanyuan more harmonious than ever before.

Aunt Zhao and her concubine's daughter almost caused a huge mess. This shows that Aunt Zhao and her daughter are both arrogant and stupid.

The reason for this is more or less due to Mr. Jiang San's pampering of them over the years, which has led to their ambitions and arrogance becoming so big.

The third brother mentioned by Jiang Wuye, he just didn't have a business mind, and he was unwilling to start from the bottom of the officialdom. If it was said that Jiang Sanye would do something that would damage the Dingguo Mansion, Jiang Wuye would not believe it.

Having said that, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but pay more attention to the third room today.

Apart from Li, the legal wife, the third room only had Aunt Zhao as a concubine.

Counting the two lifetimes, the number of times Gu Jinchu had seen Aunt Zhao could be counted on one hand.

When Li had nothing to do, she peeled out a small dish of sunflower seeds, gave some to her two sisters-in-law, and sat there pinching them and putting them into her mouth.

After hearing what Liu said, he looked up at her and pouted, "The Third Master likes his concubine more than me, his principal wife, so why should I do such thankless things?"

It is common knowledge in the whole mansion that the third wife of Lan Yuan is out of favor.

In the past, she was afraid that people would look down on her, so she always put on some false appearances.

Now that I think about it, everyone knows what's going on in their hearts, and who knows how they might be laughing at her in secret.

Why not be open and aboveboard? Anyway, she will no longer care about the affairs of the concubine or the illegitimate daughter.

Gu Jinchu looked at Liu and smiled, "Third sister-in-law is more open-minded than before. She looks much better now."

Li touched his cheek, as if he was afraid he had heard it wrong, and confirmed again, "Really?"

Liu swallowed the sunflower seeds in her mouth and said, "Could the Fifth Sister-in-law really lie to you? Everyone says that women start to go downhill after the age of 30, so why is the Third Sister-in-law getting younger and younger?"

"The facial mask and makeup powder my fifth brother's wife gave me last time are very useful. I asked someone to buy some more from the Treasure Pavilion when they were all gone."

Li continued, "I am not like my second sister-in-law who has to help manage the household, nor do I have to discipline so many legitimate daughters and illegitimate sons like my fourth sister-in-law. I just eat and sleep every day, and I don't have any worries, right?"

She didn't want to admit that the cosmetics sold in the shop of her fifth brother's wife were good. After all, she let go of her obsession and only cared about herself and her legitimate son, which made her smile every day.

Gu Jinchu looked at Li's expression and the words she said did not seem false.

Liu no longer mentioned the matter of the third concubine's daughter, "Third brother's wife is probably the least worrying thing now..."

"When Chengbin goes to the academy, my third sister-in-law will worry about whether he eats well every day and sleeps well at night.

When he grows up a little bit, he will pray to the Buddha for blessing, so that he can stand out in the spring examination. At this time, he is also at the age to get married, and that is when people are most worried... "

After hearing what her second sister-in-law said, Li looked even more fragile and turned sideways to tease Tuanzi beside her.

"Our Tenth Young Master, please grow up quickly. When you become successful in the future, remember to take good care of your Sixth Brother!"

Tuanzi was biting an apple, his hands were full of saliva. When he saw Li coming to tease him, he squinted his eyes and smiled, showing his little baby teeth, which was very cute.

Li witnessed and then said: "Our Tenth Young Master has understood!"

But in his heart he was thinking that when he grew up he would be like his father, a smiling tiger.

......

The sky above the Hall of Supreme Harmony was gray and gloomy, and the red walls were set off by a deep and rich background. The golden bricks paving the hall lost their luster, and everything around them became gray and gloomy.

Zheng Kaicheng, the princess's husband, was talking about his trip to the flood-stricken area: "The Yellow River basin was severely affected by the disaster. The court originally allocated 200,000 shi of grain for disaster relief... 50,000 shi were allocated to Tumubao, and the Ministry of War temporarily allocated another 50,000 shi to Ningyuan City. It is difficult to meet the needs of the victims in the flood-stricken areas."

"On my way back to the capital with the princess, I encountered the Duke Dingguo's mansion transporting the grain raised from the charity sale to the flood-stricken areas. Now it is late autumn, and when the ice freezes, if we cannot properly settle the victims, I am afraid there will be a large number of casualties."

"The refugees were terrified and committed looting. Fortunately, Lord Jiang and his men stopped the incident in time and did not allow it to escalate. When the princess and I left, the people knelt down along the street, thanking the emperor for his kindness and benevolence, and hoping for peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

Zhao Yu sat on the dragon throne, his slightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed after Zheng Kaicheng finished speaking. He nodded, revealing a satisfied expression.

"The Ministry of Works was negligent in its duties. Since Lord Jiang stopped the riot in time, we will not pursue the officials involved. The women of the Duke Dingguo Mansion are very righteous and are role models for women in our dynasty..."

Zhao Yu considered it for a while, and then said: "Just reward him with 100 taels of gold, and let all the people of Duke Dingguo's Mansion come to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

The three brothers Jiang Nanli, Jiang Nanxiang and Jiang Nansheng knelt in the main hall and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

This was the first time since the founding of the dynasty that a family had been rewarded because of its female relatives.

All the ministers in the hall couldn't help but look at Jiang Nansheng and his brothers.

Zhao Yu nodded and raised his right hand.

Huang Tong, standing by, raised his neck and chanted, "If there is something to say, then rise and play. If there is nothing to say, then leave the court!"

Zheng Wenyang, the Minister of War, stepped out of the line, bowed to the Emperor Jianming, and said in a clear voice: "I have something to report."

"Your Majesty, the new Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty has ascended the throne and wants to establish his authority over his people. He has launched a large-scale attack on Ningyuan City, and his force is fierce. Ningyuan City is an important barrier outside Shanhaiguan. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope Your Majesty will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Zheng Wenyang was dressed in a scarlet court robe, with a straight posture and a handsome face.

At first glance, people who don't know him might mistakenly think that he is a gentle and elegant scholar.

The border was in danger and the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

There have been constant wars in Ningyuan City in recent years, and military pay and supplies have been transported to the border like water.

In terms of strength, Fuso was far superior to the Later Jin. After taking over the military power, Zheng Wenyang, the Minister of War, turned Fuso into a vassal state in just one year.

The Chen family took so much money from the court, but they were unable to break through the small Later Jin!
