Poor children

Chapter 213: Inviting best friends to talk about daily life to promote a good relationship

一
After sitting in the Sixth Prince's Mansion until the afternoon, Pao'er and the Second Lady said goodbye and went home. Hongwen came down from the court early today and was practicing swordplay at home. When Pao'er came back, he rushed over to greet him.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Pao'er was very happy in his heart and looked naturally good on his face.

"There isn't much going on in the court, so I came back early. Does mother seem to have something happy?" Hongwen asked when he saw the poor boy happy.
"Are there still many things to do in the court tomorrow?" The poor boy didn't answer his question, but asked him blindly.

"There won't be much to do tomorrow. Does mother have anything to tell her son?" Hongwen asked again.

"Then I'd better come back early tomorrow." After saying this, the poor man went to his yard. "Qiu Huai, go and deliver the message to the regent. Miss, you and the two Miss Wu from General Zuo Shenwu’s family will come to our house to spend the day.”

Qiu Huai responded and went to arrange for someone to deliver the post. The pauper took off his cloak and cleaned his hands. Then he sat down at the desk, picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Tian Xing.

"Master, Master, you are back." Mrs. Wu has been very happy since she came back from the Sixth Prince's Mansion. When she heard that General Shenwu was back, she hurried out to welcome him.
"Looking at you, who did you win in poker?" General Wu asked, but the look on his face was not very good.
"What do you think you are doing with such a long face? Since the establishment of the new dynasty, you have not gone to court all day long. You have never seen the face of the new emperor until now. The emperor has sent invitations to you several times, but you have not If you don’t go, you won’t get any good results sooner or later if you keep going like this. It’s okay if you don’t go to court. You are still out there all day long. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are planning. I can tell you, You can't live a good life, but if you dare to do something risky and make us three mothers suffer, I can't forgive you." Mrs. Wu is a shrewd person, and she has good hands both at home and outside. Naturally, General Wu is some henpecked

"Oh, madam, I'm already upset enough. Please stop bothering me with these trivial matters. I beg you, madam." General Wu saluted repeatedly.
"Don't fool me here." Mrs. Wu turned around and went to the main room, while General Wu followed obediently. "I have chosen a good marriage for our daughter."

"Marriage?" General Wu was surprised when he heard this. His eldest daughter was very discerning. She wanted her future husband to be better than her in literary talent and martial arts. She wanted to be the best among men, so how could there be any marriage? is worthy of her

"Yes" Mrs. Wu smiled
"Are you just wishful thinking? Does our daughter like you?" General Wu washed his face and sat down to drink tea.
"I think it's almost the same this time"

"See someone?"

"I haven't met her yet, but after listening to my mother's talk for a day, I felt a little moved when I saw our Xueying. We should be able to meet her tomorrow." Mrs. Wu was full of expectations.

"Can we meet tomorrow? Whose boy are you talking about? Do I recognize him?" General Wu thought to himself, and he didn't think there was such a good boy in the capital that he didn't recognize.

"Prince Hongwen" Mrs. Wu arrives again
With just these four words, General Wu sprayed tea all over the floor with a sip of "Who?"

"The prince of the dynasty" Mrs. Wu repeated again
"Nonsense." General Wu stood up angrily and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. "How can I marry a girl to the prince? How can I be worthy of your majesty?" "Marrying my daughter to the prince will make me your majesty's wife." Daughter-in-law, why are you so sorry to Your Majesty?" Mrs. Wu said, "Don't think that if you run to Lingjiu Temple all day long, I don't know what you are doing. The old emperor has lost power. Master, please don't be confused. It’s okay to ruin your own future. If you dare to ruin my daughter’s future, I will make you look good.”

"Madam, how can this be good? The late Emperor was kind to my family, how could I be disloyal to His Majesty and marry my daughter to an enemy?" General Wu said
"Enemy? Who decided this enemy? The late emperor was kind to your family. Grandfather and father also repaid all the kindness that should be repaid. The previous emperor was unscrupulous. I won't tell you how many sins and hardships he caused you. Oh, you are so stupid and loyal. Sooner or later you will die. If you want to die, just kill yours. Don’t harm my daughter. You are obviously an in-law but you insist on saying that you are an enemy. You don’t think carefully about it. Your daughter is marrying If you marry the crown prince, you will be the mother of the country, and you will be the father-in-law of the country and my general." Mrs. Wu used coercion and inducement. In short, she must make this marriage happen.

"What do you think of a woman?" General Wu said angrily.
"You dare to yell at me?" Mrs. Wu was also angry. "Come here! Move your master's bedding to the study."

The ladies around them didn't dare to say anything. The wife was the most vicious. The servants in the mansion knew that the only thing in this mansion was to listen to the wife's orders, so they packed up General Wu's quilt and sent it in. study

This time, General Wu did not beg for mercy. He waved his hand and walked directly to the study.
"How dare you lose your temper with me? I'm telling you Wu Hongnan, you can't stop this." Mrs. Wu was so angry that she shouted at his back.

Early the next morning, several ladies and ladies arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Sheng Rongwen, Chen Rufang and Zhang Yuhua were old friends with the pauper. Since the pauper got married and many things happened, they have never renewed their old relationship together. Naturally, they felt more cordial when they met this time, and the two young ladies from the Wu family naturally also brought them with them. She was preoccupied and looked a little nervous. Wu Xueying naturally knew that she would be able to see the prince today. Wu Yuqian heard that the queen made good snacks and wanted to have a good meal. She didn't care that her sister was getting married. To whom, as long as she gets married
"You all come quickly. Just yesterday, the newly produced honeydew melons and grapes were delivered from the northwest. You are in for a treat. I am not even willing to eat them myself, so I am just waiting for you to come." Pao'er greeted them warmly. He sat down and ordered all the fruits and snacks to be served.

"I've only heard that the fruits in the northwest are very good, but the distance is far away, so I haven't eaten much. I didn't expect that there would be fresh ones to eat today." Zhang Yuhua became happy when he heard that there was something to eat.

"I know you like to eat. Today's dim sum is made by myself. Some of them are traditional Northwest dim sum. They are very delicious. You just need to eat until you are full." Poor laughed, seeing Wu Yuqian had already Unable to bear it, he said again, "Second Miss Wu, don't be polite, everyone here is her own, don't talk about rules, do whatever you like, it's up to your sister Yuhua how to do it."

Wu Yuqian happily agreed and started eating alone.
"Girl, don't be polite." Seeing that Wu Xueying was a little reserved, Sheng Rongwen said, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is a very friendly person and doesn't care about such trivial matters. We are all the closest people to our family. Since we invite you here, we naturally treat you as one of our family." As for you, just be more casual about it."

"She usually doesn't look like this at home or anywhere else. It's rare to see her today. Why is she pretending to be a lady?" Zhang Yuhua said while chewing on the honeydew melon.

"No matter how much I eat, I can't stop your mouth?" Wu Xueying muttered in a low voice.
At this moment, I heard someone outside reporting that the prince was back.
