Chapter 405: The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (27)
"Your Majesty, I would like to request that Your Majesty can open up a piece of fertile land in the wasteland north of the western suburbs and build some resettlement houses for the elderly and homeless soldiers in the military camp. They have sacrificed their lives for the Wei Dynasty. Although they had been forgotten for so many years, although they had given them enough money for resettlement, they felt that if they could be given fertile land and houses, these soldiers would be able to live without worries in their later years
The above is the request that my wife boldly made to Your Majesty. ”
After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a while, then smiled and nodded again, looking at Jiang Lai with more approval in his eyes.
"Okay, this must be General Tie's idea. Okay, I decree that the land north of the western suburbs of the capital will be used for building resettlement houses from tomorrow. Otherwise, I will leave this matter to General Tie. Processing.
Jiang Lai, General Tie is lucky to be able to marry a woman like you. Did Tie Yi hear that? I will treat your wife better in the future and try to give birth to a group of young generals for my use as soon as possible! ”
Tie Yi walked to Jiang Lai and kowtowed with her to thank the emperor.
At this time, everyone in the audience was shocked.
No one thought that Jiang Lai's hard-earned golden words were actually for the purpose of settling the veterans under Tie Yi!
"She didn't even plead for her father! It's really a waste of time for a married daughter to throw water on her. She only thinks about the future of her husband's family."
The Eighth Prince was also surprised when he heard the comments from the people around him.
After all, he subconsciously felt that a talented and knowledgeable woman like Jiang Lai shouldn't be so heartless.
At this time, I heard choking sounds coming from behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yu.
The woman's eyes were red, as if she was suppressing some grievance, and the eighth prince frowned slightly.
"Why are you crying?"
The fact that Jiang Yu said that she wrote "Ci of Fengyue" is not over yet. The Eighth Prince now sees that everything is wrong with her, and he feels very worried.
Jiang Yu gritted her teeth and choked.
"Dad is old, and I finally got a chance to plead for mercy in front of His Majesty... It's useless for me."
The eighth prince sighed.
"Even if Jiang comes to plead for mercy, it may not be useful. Besides, others have no right to interfere with her chances. Just relax."
Jiang Yu's face didn't even have time to shed tears, because no one looked at her at all. The sixth prince, who originally thought he would turn around, made no movement from beginning to end. He just sat silently, with an elegant posture, and he looked like an outsider.
At this moment her heart sank hard.
She ruined the spring hunting party.
Because Jiang Lai put her face under his feet and ravaged her in order to show off.
If it weren't for Jiang Lai, she would have successfully come out on top and won His Majesty's praise. Everyone's eyes would stay on her at that moment. Just like before, she was still the most noble lady in the capital and wanted to win her favor. There are countless people.
After the poetry meeting, the spring hunt officially began.
Tie Yi picked a white horse of medium size for Jiang Lai, so that it would be more conspicuous in the crowd. If there was an unexpected situation, Tie Yi could find her immediately.
There were still many people making selections in the stables. Jiang Lai looked around and then asked Tie Yi in a low voice.
"Will you go hunting with us later or will you continue to stay with His Majesty?"
Tie Yi comforted the white horse, then held Jiang Lai's waist and put her on the horse's back effortlessly.
"I won't be involved in hunting. You have fun. If you have anything, come to me anytime."
Spring hunting was originally prepared for young ladies in the capital who rarely see real blood. For people like Tie Yi who have seen too much blood on the battlefield, it is no different from playing house.
The main purpose of his visit this time was to protect the people here, and also to use the opportunity of spring hunting to repair the relationship with Jiang Lai.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai would give him such a surprise. With a few words, he helped him solve the most troublesome problem he had ever had, and also made His Majesty, who had always been suspicious of him, put aside his prejudice against him.
"Jiang Lai, if you have something to do, you can ask me. You are my wife and I will help you no matter what."
Jiang Lai was riding on horseback and was eager to try. Hearing what Tie Yi said, he didn't understand.
"What can I do? Yes, there is indeed something. You have to promise me."
Tie Yi asked as he led the white horse away.
"Well, you say."
"Your mother has been giving me soup and medicine a while ago. I asked the doctor and he said it was a medicine to help with pregnancy. I can understand her approach, but you have to tell her when you go back that I don't like children, and I won't in the future. Your mother has to be prepared for giving birth, and you have to be prepared too, you know?”
Tie Yi stopped and looked up at her, his eyes a little more lonely.
"Do you not want to have a baby, or do you not want to have a baby with me?"
"What do you mean?"
Tie Yi looked at her calmly.
"The most difficult thing for military officers is not only their place of residence, but also the inheritance of their family line, because most girls are not willing to marry people like us. Their lives are precarious. If a war breaks out, they will never come back."
Therefore, Tie Yi had never thought about marrying a wife before. This time, the old lady pressed her hard, forcing him to have no choice but to agree to marry one.
The original plan was to ensure that she had enough food and clothing so that she would never suffer. This was the only thing he could do.
But now, he can no longer pass the test in his heart.
After all, the Jiang Lai in front of him was no longer someone who just casually married into the house to appease his mother. He knew very well what he was thinking in his heart, which was that Jiang Lai could not be wronged in the slightest.
Because of this, the problem he had to face was what he and Jiang would do in the future.
Jiang Lai said nothing, and his silent face made his heart feel heavier.
"What's the use of this? Are you planning to tell me that if you die on the battlefield one day, I won't have to be a widow and find a good man to marry?"
Tie Yi's hand tightened on the reins, and underneath his calm appearance was a surge of jealousy.
Thinking of Jiang Lai's life with other men, he couldn't stay rational at all.
"I, I just..."
"What are you? Where did you come from so much nonsense? You don't need to think about it here. I can give you two choices. One is to continue to lead the troops to fight and live the precarious life you said, and then wait to be a widow at any time. The other, resign.”
Jiang Lai spread his hands and looked at him seriously.
"Just these two choices."
"The world is uncertain, how can I withdraw at this time."
Tie Yi is ambitious. He has worked hard for more than ten years to get to where he is now. How could he give up all this so easily.
She thought Jiang Lai would be displeased, but she just smiled, bent down while sitting on the horse, and kissed Tie Yi on the forehead regardless of whether there was anyone around.
"I know, so you have to protect yourself and live a long life, so that I can live in good clothing and food for the rest of my life without looking at anyone's face. Do you understand?" (End of Chapter)
