The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 255
Looking at Lu Ji with a cautious look, Yan Zhenglang said calmly, "Say."

"My daughter sent a message to the Ministry of Officials, hoping to invite the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War."

As a cabinet minister, Yan Zhenglang naturally knew that Luo Feng, the former head of the Armed Forces Department, had already surrendered, and now this position was vacant, and the officials were also having a lot of headaches about who would take up the vacancy.Since Qingchi sent the post without telling him, this!
Seeing his father's suddenly cloudy face, Qingchi was a little confused for a while, so he could only look at Lu Ji for help.

Lu Ji was about to say something, but Yan Zhenglang waved his hand as if he had expected it long ago, "Yunchu, you go out first."

"Teacher..."

Since Lu Ji and Yan Zhenglang met, Yan Zhenglang has always treated him politely, and sometimes even showed an attitude of being happy to see what happens, it is the first time he has been so rude today.

Seeing that her father was about to cut off her foreign aid, Qingchi hurriedly said: "Father, Lu Ji is not an outsider, there is nothing he can't listen to."

Yan Zhenglang glanced at her meaningfully, then turned to Lu Ji, and said politely: "The old man has something to discuss with his daughter alone, Yunchu should sit in the lobby for a while."

Although his tone was slow, his attitude was firm.

Lu Ji had no choice but to cast a sorry look at Qingchi, and then said: "The junior will retire first..."

Seeing Lu Ji walking to the door and not forgetting to turn his head, Qingchi was very helpless.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, only the father and daughter were left.

"father……"

As soon as Qingchi opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Yan Zhenglang, "Tell Father, why do you have to go to the Ministry of War!"

"My daughter doesn't want to waste her time in the Imperial Academy. Now that His Majesty and the emperor's husband intend to reform the military system, my daughter wants to share the worries of His Majesty. Besides, in the previous dynasty, civil servants were in charge of military equipment. Even if my daughter went to the military equipment department, it might not be so. What is the danger..."

"As a father, you must listen to the truth!"

Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, how could Qingchi's little thought be hidden from Yan Zhenglang?This high-sounding speech was interrupted by him before he finished speaking.

Under Yan Zhenglang's sharp gaze, Qingchi slowly lowered his head, biting his red lips lightly with his white teeth, without saying a word.

"It's because of that Vice General Yan who came to our house a few days ago. Let my father say how you are!" Yan Zhenglang shook his head again and again, "Military is not a joke, you are too confused!"

"Father, I'm not just doing it for Yan Mo. I've been studying military art for a while, and I've already memorized the "Martial Classics" from the previous dynasty."

"So what, you are just talking on paper. The people in the official department are not fools, and your post will be handed in for nothing."

Yan Zhenglang was very angry at his daughter's stubbornness, and planned to visit Jiang's house soon, and asked Jiang Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to return Qingchi's post.

"Father." Qingchi stood up and said seriously, "Although you are a cabinet minister, you can't use your power to interfere with the normal selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials!"

As a daughter, Qingchi also knew her father very well. She knew that his father was so resolute in his opposition, so she would definitely go to the officials.

Yan Zhenglang narrowed his eyes and looked at his serious daughter, then suddenly smiled, "You want to negotiate terms with your father."

"Father, you can't do small tricks. If the official department thinks that my daughter is competent, it means that I have real talents. You can't stop me!"

"If you enter the palace to express your feelings to His Majesty for your father, do you think His Majesty will agree to be your father?"

Older gingers are more spicy!Qingchi gritted his teeth.The Yan family sacrificed a son for the Jiangnan corruption case during the reign of Emperor Xian. His Majesty also knew about this. If Yan Zhenglang went to the palace to intercede, even if she had the ability to overwhelm mountains and seas, His Majesty would not agree.

Seeing his daughter gritted his teeth, Yan Zhenglang stroked his beard and said, "If you promise to do one thing for father, then promise not to interfere in this matter."

Qingchi raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Before, my father thought you were a sensible child and didn't want to force you to use your parents' orders to suppress you, but now I can't let you do whatever you want. I will make a decision on your life as soon as possible. What you want to do, my father will not stop you gone."

Upon hearing this, Qingchi's hope that had just been ignited was shattered.Her father was simply trying to stop her in a disguised form. Many maids in the court resigned after they got married.Which husband's family would tolerate her serving in the Ministry of War!

Qingchi stomped his feet, "Father, what's the difference between this and stopping me directly?"

Yan Zhenglang took the teacup and drank it slowly without speaking.

Qingchi walked a few steps anxiously, and when she looked at the closed door, she suddenly felt blessed. She took a deep breath, and looked back at Yan Zhenglang, "Which son does father want me to marry?"

Yan Zhenglang said: "The matter came too suddenly, I haven't thought about it yet, but I can ask the matchmaker right away."

Qingchi smiled and said: "My daughter wants to marry Lu Ji."

"No!" Yan Zhenglang objected without even thinking about it, "He is a descendant of the Lu family, all his families died, and he is in the filial piety, so he is not your good match."

"Father, you are wrong. Although Lu Ji is a concubine, he is the only male in the Lu family. According to the patriarchal law, he can inherit the family business. The Lu family has no parents, and when a daughter marries, she doesn't have to set rules in front of her parents-in-law. When His Majesty rehabilitated the Lu family back then, he not only returned the family wealth, but also gave many additional rewards. The Lu family is not a small family, and it is enough for the daughter to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Lu Ji was already in the fifth grade at a young age. How can you discriminate against him because of your family status? Even if you are in filial piety, you can make a marriage agreement first, and then get married after his filial piety period expires. Not too late."

Most importantly, there is no need to get married right away!
Of course, Aoike would not say the last word.

With Lu Ji's personality, he will definitely not prevent her from going to the Ministry of War, nor will she be asked to resign.

Yan Zhenglang watched his daughter say so much like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I really don't feel ashamed. If you want to marry, you don't necessarily want to marry!"

Qingchi was stunned for a moment, she forgot that Lu Ji already had someone he wanted, even though there was absolutely no result between that person and him, but what if Lu Ji wanted to be alone for the rest of his life, watching silently?

"Daughter, go discuss it with him." Qingchi was slightly entangled, planning to go out.

"Stop!" Yan Zhenglang was extremely angry, "How can you, a girl, talk to a man about such things!"

Qingchi shrugged indifferently, she has never had any scruples in front of Lu Ji.I don't know why, but she always felt that talking about these things with Lu Ji felt familiar, which was strange.

"Come on, pass on Mr. Lu!" Yan Zhenglang's voice came out of the house, and the servants waiting outside hurried to find someone.

Not long after, Lu Ji stepped into the study.

"Teacher!" Lu Ji bowed his hands to Yan Zhenglang.He glanced around the room and felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

"sit."

Yan Zhenglang didn't let Qingchi back away, and said directly, "Yunchu's filial piety period has passed for a year, do you have a girl you want now?"

"Ah?" Lu Ji was a little dumbfounded, why did the topic suddenly turn to him, wasn't he discussing Qingchi's going to the Ministry of War?
Looking at Qingchi again, she blinked desperately at him, and waved her hands quietly at him.

Lu Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "No..."

Yan Zhenglang glanced at Qingchi with a stern face, she sat up straight quickly, and put her hands on her lap neatly.

"You and my little girl have known each other for a long time, and she has been saved by you several times. The old man sees that you two are about the same age, so I don't know if Yun Chu intends to marry my little girl?"

Hearing Yan Zhenglang's words, Lu Ji almost slipped from his chair.

He is still in the depression of Qingchi, forgetting the drunken words that day, but Yan Zhenglang's words will drag him to heaven again.

Happiness and joy came too fast, Lu Ji seemed to be in a fog, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

If he objected, he would hate himself to death; if he agreed, he was afraid of breaking Qingchi's wishes.

He looked at Qingchi, and Qingchi blinked vigorously at him, his chin nodding slightly.

Lu Ji was greatly encouraged, he said: "The younger generation is not talented, it is a great honor to be favored by the Taifu!"

Yan Zhenglang stroked his beard, his eyes were full of smiles, "Qing'er, go and get the pair of white jade swans and lotus pendants from my father's room."

Qingchi was startled, his father really wanted to make the marriage right away.This pair of white jade swans holding lotus pendants are tokens of love between father and mother. Mother often said that they would be passed on to her and her husband-in-law in the future.

Although Lu Ji didn't know the origin of the pair of jade pendants, it was obvious that Yan Zhenglang wanted to use it as a token of engagement.

After being slightly astonished, Qingchi got up and went out.

Seeing her leaving back, Lu Ji felt a little relieved, at least she should not object to this marriage.

After Qingchi left, Yan Zhenglang said slowly, "You don't blame the old man for being abrupt, do you?"

Lu Ji knew that he was talking about this marriage, he said: "Why, this junior has been fascinated by Miss Yan for a long time. But this junior also knows that Miss Yan has no affection for this junior, but just now she didn't seem to object , please clarify your doubts."

Yan Zhenglang said: "Qing'er has made up his mind to go to the Ministry of War. If the old man forcibly stops her, there will inevitably be a rift between father and daughter. That Yan Mo is really not a good match for Qing'er. To be honest, the old man likes you very much. , just take this opportunity to settle your matter, you won't blame the old man for making his own decisions, will you?"

Lu Ji shook his head, "Why, I'm just afraid that Miss Yan will be unhappy."

Yan Zhenglang stroked his beard with a smile, and said confidently: "I still don't understand her temperament? In my opinion, she is just used to the days when she was with His Majesty and Yan Mo. After realizing your goodness, you can be by her side in a legitimate way from now on, and she will soon know your goodness. It's just that my daughter is willful and reckless, so you have to bear more responsibility from now on."

Lu Ji nodded again and again, "Teacher, don't worry, this junior will treat her well for the rest of his life!"

Yan Zhenglang frowned slightly, "Still called Taifu?"

Lu Ji immediately understood, "Uncle."

Because Yan Zhenglang had been the Taifu of the empress, people in the court still used to call him Taifu to show respect.Lu Ji had always followed the crowd before, but now he changed his name to call his father-in-law too shameless, and called him uncle, which made him seem much closer.

When Qingchi returned to the study, Mrs. Yan was by his side.She had heard from her husband that Lu Ji was a good son-in-law, and although the marriage was decided suddenly, she did not seem surprised.

"Auntie." Seeing Mrs. Yan, Lu Ji quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

When Mrs. Yan heard that he had changed her address, she immediately smiled and said, "Good boy."

Looking at the happy and harmonious attitudes of his parents and Lu Ji, Qingchi immediately understood that his father's objection just now was only a retreat in order to advance. I am afraid they have already liked Lu Ji!
She handed over the brocade box containing the jade pendant to her father. Although she was tricked, but her parents were able to seek benevolence and benevolence, so it was considered filial piety.

Yan Zhenglang solemnly opened the brocade box, "People in the world often use mandarin ducks to symbolize husband and wife, but they don't know that male mandarin ducks are really promiscuous and will not end up with a female mandarin duck, while a swan will only have one partner in its life. Like swans, we support each other all our lives and grow old."

After finishing speaking, he and Mrs. Yan each took out a jade pendant and handed them to Lu Ji and Qingchi respectively.

Lu Ji folded his palms together, took Qingchi's hand with the other hand, and said seriously: "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, Lu Ji swears that he will never let Qingchi down in this life!"

Qingchi felt that the big palm holding her was a bit rough, but it was warm and firm, and she involuntarily squeezed the jade pendant in her palm tightly.
