Poor children

Chapter 217 Double Happiness Arrives
一
There were more candles than usual in the hall. Tianxing sat down with the poor boy. The general and his wife sat on the chairs at hand to accompany him. The butler took out the best tea in the house and served it to him.

Seeing that General Wu was a little cautious, Paoer put down his tea bowl and said with a smile, "I and Your Majesty are here like parents in ordinary people's homes today, for the marriage of their son. Logically, they should find a matchmaker, but I Your Majesty and I both feel that the girl our family is looking for is not an ordinary girl. Xueying is such a talented person. We have to speak for ourselves to show our sincerity. However, we still need a matchmaker. I just want to ask General Wu to tell me who he thinks will come. If it is suitable, we will go and invite them again, and we will discuss the matter of three matchmakers and six betrothals later. To show our sincerity, we came here today to ask General Wu to agree to the marriage of Xueying, that silly boy of mine."

The poor man said it easily, and put down all his royal status to show his sincerity. This can be said to have given General Zuo Shenwu enough face. Now that he is there, his in-laws naturally have no choice. They all look very good Man, the future son-in-law is also a good-looking talent, and there is no choice. The emperor came to propose marriage in person. If General Wu is still so ignorant of current affairs, not only is he too ignorant, but he really ruined his daughter's good marriage.
General Wu looked at the emperor and the queen, both of whom had smiles on their faces. He looked at his wife again, and saw Mrs. Wu winking at him anxiously. If he dared not agree today, how would he treat the guests? Now that they are all gone, his old life may not be saved. General Wu looked at his daughter again, and saw that she was nervous, for fear that he would say something he shouldn't say, and she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

"My eldest girl has been spoiled by my wife. She has a very bad temper. Her appearance is not as outstanding as that of other girls. She is just slightly more blessed." General Wu's words did not sound like good words. "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Queen." I despise it and am willing to marry my little girl as my daughter-in-law. This is a great honor for my family. However, my little girl is willful. If she does anything inappropriate in the future, I have to ask Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen to forgive me."

Hearing what General Wu said, it was obvious that he had agreed to the marriage. Madam Wu naturally became happy first. Wu Xueying was so shocked that tears welled up first. Tian Xing and Pao'er were naturally happy too.

"General Wu is willing to give up his love and marry his daughter to our family. We will naturally love her as if she were our own. General and Madam, just don't worry. We just don't know who is the more suitable matchmaker for us to hire. I wonder if the old general has any candidates." ?" the pauper laughed

"The person chosen by His Majesty and His Majesty the Queen must be the safest. I have no objection." Seeing his daughter happy, General Wu himself felt that the burden in his heart had been lifted.
"Then let's ask Mr. Han Cheng to speak. Hongwen is not young anymore. General and Madam, please don't blame us for being impatient. Although the time is a little tight, we want to have the happy event before the end of the year. I and Your Majesty also want to "Hold your grandson early," the poor boy laughed.

"This is exactly what we want. My husband only had these two girls when he was over fifty. Now he naturally wants to have his grandson as soon as possible. The sooner the better. Xueying's wedding dress is a dowry for me, a mother-in-law. She has been prepared for her a long time ago, so naturally there is nothing to rush." ​​Mrs. Wu responded hurriedly, thinking that she would be the emperor's mother-in-law in the future, and she would see those ladies in the future, who would dare to underestimate her?

"Compared to me, the mother-in-law is not responsible enough. However, Hongwen's wedding dress is simpler than the bride's. I will order people to prepare quickly when I get back. The Prince's Mansion has just been renovated. I only renovated their house. Next, just add some more furniture. It's just a national celebration, so there should be more preparations in terms of etiquette. I will go to the etiquette department to handle it tomorrow. I must not treat Xueying badly. I plan to prepare it in half a month. , just look at those few days and decide a good day." Pao'er has already arranged things clearly in his heart.

Everything went as smoothly as the poor man expected. Within 20 days, the princess was married into the prince's mansion.

After that, the old emperor of the previous dynasty wrote several times to invite General Wu to come to the mountain. General Wu always said that he was ill and had never been there again. Although he did not go to court here, the military affairs were very arranged. That's right, your daughter is the current crown prince, how can anyone be a rebellious fool again?
In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of the year. Pao'er's birthday happened to be at the turn of the year-end and the beginning of the year, so it would take two days. On this morning, Tianxing asked someone to send a gift early. The regent and Chenghe , Chengzhe and Laibao, the eldest master, the second master and Wu'er, Tiedan'er, Fang Shaoqin, the old Taoist priest, Sanyang Zhenren, many people all sent the gifts they prepared.
The poor girl got up early to dress up, and she looked more colorful than usual. She looked good. It was the New Year and her birthday, so she was even happier than usual. She had seen all the gifts given by everyone, and I carefully prepared some return gifts that I personally prepared, but I never saw Hongwen’s gift arrive.

It wasn't until breakfast time that the newlyweds came together to accompany the poor child to have breakfast. "My mother is giving birth to a baby this year, and my son has prepared some special gifts." After sitting down at the table, Hongwen said

"I've already seen the gifts from others. I'm just waiting for yours. Don't worry about what they are. Take them out and show them to me." The poor man saw that Wu Xueying's appetite had changed a bit when he ate recently. , in fact, she already knew it in her heart, but the young couple didn’t say anything, so she just pretended not to know.

"You'll know if you touch it, mother," Hongwen grabbed Wu Xueying's hand and handed it to the poor child.
Pao'er then smiled and put his hand on Wu Xueying's pulse, "Sure enough, you are pregnant. I just saw that your wife seems to be pregnant recently. She has a bad appetite and is always lazy."

"My mother has known about it for a long time, and her son still thinks it is a surprise," Hongwen said.

"I know it's not a surprise? I'm going to the palace today to pay my respects. Remember to tell your father and make him happy too." Pao'er said with a smile, "Please ask the imperial doctor to come regularly to check Ping'an Pulse and prescribe some warming prescriptions. I'll have to be cured." Raise your grandson strong and strong”

"Does your mother still like the gift from your son?" Hongwen asked again

"Of course I like it." Pao'er said to Wu Xueying again, "Now that you are pregnant, you should stop doing things that consume energy such as practicing swordsmanship. You have to take care of yourself. When Hongwen comes back in the afternoon, let him accompany you home. Go and pay New Year greetings, and then tell your parents about this happy event and make them happy too."

Wu Xueying nodded shyly and agreed.

This year passed very peacefully, until the following autumn, there was a cry in the prince's palace, and a young master, the eldest grandson of Tian Xing and Pao'er, came into this world, but some people in the palace began to feel a little restless.
