Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 172 Encounter

Jiang Yixi said, "Nurse, I have something important to discuss with Uncle Wu. You stay outside the door and don't let anyone disturb us."

After hearing this, Mother Wu quickly got up and walked out of the living room, and stood on the porch.

Jiang Yixi retreated to the east room and closed the door again.She didn't sit on the kang by the window, but on the armchair against the wall.

"Uncle Wu, what's going on, you can talk about it."

She felt that it was very likely that Hu's real family members had committed some serious crime and carried Hu to their maternal ancestor's house since childhood.And Mrs. Zheng knew the real family background of the Hu family, and the two of them happened to have a feud...

Uncle Wu walked to Jiang Yixi's side, sighed heavily, and turned his eyes out of the window again, recalling things that had been a long time ago.

The old man Hu is a son of a poor family, but also dignified and dull, not very understanding of the world.He worked as the magistrate of Bapin County in northern Shaanxi for more than ten years. Only when he was nearly 40 years old did he meet Mr. Li who came to inspect him.With the help of Mr. Li, he was finally promoted to the county magistrate of Fengping County in the suburbs of Beijing.

Mr. Hu took his wife, 16-year-old daughter, and 14-year-old second son to take office.The eldest son has already been admitted to Juren and is studying at Xiqingfu Academy, but he, his wife and children did not come.

Hu Mingya looks bright and charming, with excellent charm, and quite a bit of talent, she is a flower in that small county.The old man doted on this girl very much, and he was so dazzled in choosing others that he couldn't find a suitable one at the age of 16.Just happened to meet him when he was promoted, thinking that he could find a better young man if he went to the capital.

Once Hu Mingya took the nanny and girl to the temple to offer incense. The coachman was at the foot of the mountain, and only the three of them went up the mountain.The wet nurse is Uncle Wu's mother, Nanny Wu, the little girl is Nanny Qin, who is 14 years old, and her maiden name is Wan Qing, and the driver is Uncle Wu's father, Mr. Wu.

After offering incense, they suddenly encountered heavy rain while descending the mountain, so they ran to a pavilion in the mountain to shelter from the rain.In a hurry, Hu Mingya and the old Nanny Wu who was supporting her accidentally fell down, bleeding from their hands and knees.

There happened to be a handsome young general in the pavilion, and he gave them the ointment on his body.

After the rain stopped, they went their separate ways, never expecting to meet again in the future.

Three days later, it happened to be the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the second son Hu Mingzhuo took his sister Hu Mingya to the river outside the city to set off lotus lanterns.Because there were too many people, Hu Mingya and the girl Wanqing, who were having fun, separated from Hu Mingzhuo and the others.

Hu Mingya and Wan Qing arrived for the first time, and it was night again, so they were terrified, and they searched for Hu Mingzhuo all the way.What they don't know is that there are a few hooligans who have been following them, stepping up to tease them when no one is around.

A young general happened to pass by and beat those hooligans away.

And that young general was the one he met in the pavilion three days ago.

They both recognized each other, laughed, and said two words at the same time.

"What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence."

The young general clasped his fists again and said with a smile, "My surname is Zheng, may I ask the girl..."

Hu Mingya grew up in a small county since she was a child, and she didn't pay much attention. She said with a smile, "My surname is Hu, and my father is the county magistrate of Fengping County."

General Zheng Xiao also knew that the new county magistrate was surnamed Hu, and said with a smile, "That's a coincidence. I am the commander of the Fifth Regiment Battalion, and the Fifth Regiment Battalion is not far from Fengping County..."

While the two were talking, the terrified Second Master Hu came over.

When Hu Mingzhuo heard that General Zheng Xiao had helped his sister, he clasped his fists in thanks and took his sister away.

A few days later, on the holiday, Hu Mingzhuo, who was studying at the county school, brought back his new friend General Zheng Xiao.

County magistrate Hu saw that General Zheng Xiao was tall, heroic, well-spoken, and served in the Fifth Regiment Camp.

Hu County Magistrate also has Xiaojiujiu in his heart, if the child is suitable, he can just be recruited as a son-in-law.

He asked about the family situation of his son, General Zheng Xiao.

Second Master Hu also had that meaning, he had already asked, and said that his father had no job at present, and his uncle was a general in the army.

County magistrate Hu thought he understood that General Zheng Xiao's family should not be very good, but his uncle is capable.This kind of family background is considered to be a good match with my own family, and the younger generation has a future, so I am a little more willing in my heart.

Every time General Zheng Xiao comes to play with Hu Mingzhuo, Hu's family always treats them with good wine and food.

What the Hu family and his son didn't know was that General Zheng Xiao had more interactions with Hu Mingya in private.The two met by chance in the ink studio, met by chance at the intersection, and met by chance when climbing high...

Two months later, Hu Mingya took Wan Qing to the embroidery shop to buy embroidery thread, and met General Zheng Xiao in front of the door.

Seeing that General Zheng was limping, Hu Mingya asked, "What's wrong with General Zheng's leg?"

General Zheng Xiao blushed and said with a smile, "I often leave the camp these days and was beaten by the officer."

Before that, Hu Mingya wondered why he often appeared in Fengping County when he was on duty in the military camp.Now I understand that he should have sneaked out in order to meet him.

Hu Mingya also blushed, feeling very distressed.Softly persuaded, "Then you should do your job well and don't leave the camp without authorization."

General Zheng Xiao pointed to the opposite teahouse and said, "I asked for a box there, and I have a few words I want to say to Miss Hu."

Hu Mingya nodded in agreement.

General Zheng Xiao entered the box first, and Hu Mingya and Wan Qing walked in half a quarter of an hour later.

General Zheng Xiao was injured and couldn't sit down, so he poured a cup of tea for Hu Mingya while standing, and then said, "The young general admires Miss Hu for her beauty, talent, kindness and gentleness, but I was afraid that Lord Hu and Miss Hu would not give me a chance, so I didn't at first." Dare to tell me about the specific situation of my family. My mother is the eldest princess of Yichang, the emperor's aunt. My father is Zheng's son-in-law, or Rongchanghou, and my uncle is the governor. I will go back and report to my mother and father immediately, and let them go to Hu's family to propose marriage .In this life, I will not marry if I am not a prince..."

Hu Mingya also admires General Zheng Xiao, who is capable of both civil and military affairs, and is handsome, and is even more moved by his infatuation.

Although she was very shy, she said, "I'll wait."

Jiang Yixi kept covering her mouth tightly, so she didn't cry out.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back her tears.

Uncle Wu only said that the young general was "General Zheng Xiao", but did not mention his name.But the first time he said that the little general's surname was Zheng, Jiang Yixi guessed that it was Zheng Ji.

She didn't want to think about it any further, and murmured, "A county magistrate's daughter who just came from a remote mountainous area, how could Princess Yichang agree to it?"

Uncle Wu's eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Yes, the girl guessed right. The Dachang Princess Mansion and the Hu family, one is in the sky, and the other is underground..."

Hu Mingya returned home happily.She didn't dare to tell her parents, and she didn't allow Wanqing to tell anyone.She waited excitedly and anxiously, but after nearly a month, the Princess Yichang's mansion did not come to Hu's family to propose marriage.

That day a person came to the house and called Hu County Magistrate and his wife to have a secret talk.

Wan Qing, who went out to inquire about the news, ran back and said, "Girl, I found out, that person is from the Yichang Elder Princess's Mansion."
