Chapter 234 Ambition
Seeing that Chu Hua's face was as calm as usual, Xu sighed softly: "I don't understand what's happening in the court. But this time, Sister Lan inadvertently asked you to stand in the court. I wonder if it will have any impact."
Chu Hua chuckled lightly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You, it seems that you really don't understand the affairs in the court."
Xu looked at Chu Hua strangely and said in confusion: "Do you have any ideas?"
"In today's prosperous era, although there is a threat from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Dayong is becoming increasingly powerful, developing economic governance of the country, and the status of literati gradually increases. The decline of the status of military officers is the general trend, and weakening the power of military generals is also an inevitable trend."
"Yes, but now you are not careful to stand on the side of the generals..."
Chu Hua looked arrogant and said softly: "How can military power be controlled by the reckless man?"
When Xu heard this, he opened his eyes wide in shock: "Criminal, what do you mean?"
Chu Hua smiled and stopped talking.
Chu Junlan stood in front of the door and heard Chu Hua's last sentence, and his heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that Chu Hua actually has such ambition?
Did he actually want to be the first civil servant to command military generals in the Yong Dynasty?
As Chu Hua said, weakening the power of military generals is the general trend, which will inevitably arouse resentment among military generals. If the emperor really wants to arrange a civil servant to command military generals in the future, he will definitely choose someone who is closer to the military generals, at least it will not cause a particularly large rebound.
No wonder Chu Hua did not blame her for her actions this time.
Because her actions were inadvertently coincided with Chu Hua's idea.
Chu Junlan pursed her red lips, then raised a playful smile beside her lips, and coughed gently, "Father, mother."
When Chu Hua and Xu heard this, they turned around and looked at the door, and saw Chu Junlan carrying a delicate black lacquer mother-of-pearl food box and lifting the curtain.
"Sister Lan," Xu smiled, "What good thing did you do?"
Chu Junlan put down the food box and carefully brought two bowls of chicken soup to the two of them: "I simmered the chicken soup I prepared in low heat early in the morning and added some medicinal materials, which are beneficial to my body."
Chu Junlan likes to study medicinal food, and he will also tinker with some soups for health care when he is free. Chu Hua and Xu enjoy it a lot on weekdays.
The two of them smiled and picked up the bowl. Xu asked, "Where is your grandmother?"
"I have asked someone to send a copy to my grandfather, my uncle and my third uncle's family. I asked someone to bring the casserole to my brother and sister-in-law."
"You kid."
Chu Junlan has always been a thorough worker, and Xu likes it very much. After taking a bite of chicken soup, it has a faint medicinal flavor, but it just neutralizes a sweet and refreshing feeling, and it needs to be said to be delicious.
Chu Junlan sat for a while and went back to the room and handed the other food box to Zi Yan: "You send it to my elder brother in person, be careful not to ask anyone to touch this soup on the way."
Chu Junlan has always been very careful when delivering food to Chu Huating.
"Oh, girl, don't worry."
Zi Yan took the food box and walked out quickly.
Looking at Zi Yan's back, Chu Junlan sighed helplessly.
The Duke of Maoguo Mansion is good, but he is not free to move. If she had been in the past, she would have sent her a trip by herself, even if she wanted to go shopping, she would have to do whatever she wanted. Not only did she do now, she would have to report to Xu when she went out, but she would have to be allowed to do so.

Just after the first lunar month, all the yamen had seals, and Chu Hua was still busy with serious business. It was rare to be at home. Duke Mao also returned to the village, and the house seemed to be deserted all of a sudden.
But Xu began to get busy.
"Although I have never heard of the news from the prince's mansion, I have congratulated that the prince's marriage has been completed. It will be delayed until this year, and your marriage with the prince should be done soon."
Xu outlined the dowry booklet in his hand and said with a smile: "Mom has chosen some fertile fields for you. Not to mention the harvest, the shops on the farm are also the old men who followed me in the past. They do things safely and will be nice to you when they are in charge. There are also shops. I chose the entire street in the market. If you want to collect rent in the future, you will collect rent. If you want to do a small business by yourself, it will be cheap to choose a shop you like..."
Xu was nagging, as if she was giving her only three melons and two dates, but Chu Junlan knew that part of the dowry that Xu gave her was Xu's dowry, and part of it was from Duke Mao's mansion.
She is not Chu Hua's biological daughter, but Xu treats her as her biological daughter.
"Mom, I would have to have so many, I have everything in the palace, and what should I do with so many dowry?"
Chu Junlan sat down next to Xu.
Xu lit her forehead: "Silly girl, the dowry is richer. You will have a backup plan in the future. If you have children in the future, you can also leave them for your children."
Speaking of this, Xu remembered that Chu Junlan lost his mother since childhood. Chu Junlan's biological mother's dowry now doesn't know what it was like to be damaged by the Chu family. She stopped this topic and said, "You, please be more careful. I think the environment of the Wang family is also very complicated. Not to mention those concubines, now you have two real mother-in-law. Princess Cai's family has such a tough background. There have been unhappiness between you and Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince..."
The more Xu said, he became more and more worried: "I'm just afraid that you will be embarrassed by your mother-in-law if you go to their house."
Xu's uneasy appearance when he considered her, touched Chu Junlan quite.
"Mother, don't worry, I won't be bullied, and I'm not someone who lets others bully at will."
Xu thought for a while and nodded, "That's right, but if you have more dowry, you will be more tough in the future."
As he said that, he added a business in the business to the dowry list, and said without raising his head: "This is the dowry given to me by your grandmother, and now he will give it to you. If you live a unhappy life in the future, you have a lot of money in your hand and do whatever you want. We won't look at anyone's face."
Chu Junlan's eyes were a little hot, and he rubbed Xu's shoulder coquettishly: "I have my parents here, so I'll come home if I'm not happy."
Xu smiled and touched her head, but did not answer.
When marrying the royal family, how can you say that you can return to the great end like an ordinary woman?
Once you enter the royal family's jade certificate and think about it, you can only carry it out horizontally... Even if you carry it out, you have to carry it into the clan's cemetery.
Xu was shocked and thought to himself that he was really unlucky, so he spat.
At this moment, Madam Guo replied: "Madam, the people around Mrs. Ge Ge are here to send a post. Invite you and Miss Third to go to the banquet tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Chu Junlan sat up straight lazily.
However, Xu's face turned solemn, put down the brush, took the handkerchief handed by Chu Junlan, wiped his hands, took the post handed by Madam Guo, and then sneered: "It's really strange. Those who are civil servants look down on our family, but now they have invited you."
"Madam, are you going?"
"Of course, I want to see what their family has done so many dirty things and invite me to do!"
