Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 231 Mission
At that time, the Yongning Marquis Mansion was not favored by the superiors. The old Marquis knew that his time was short, and the Yongning Marquis was too mediocre. The old Marquis had to choose the Xiao family, who had an unknown family background, to transition in the future.

If the wife chosen for Jiang Shuheng back then was the legitimate daughter of a famous family, the old marquis was afraid that his eldest grandson would be encouraged by his granddaughter-in-law's family to raise her ambitions.

The fact is that it is indeed as arranged by the old Marquis. There is nothing outstanding about Xiao's entry, but he manages the affairs of the Marquis's family in an orderly manner. Jiang Shuheng's talents are not outstanding, but he is not incompetent;
Now that the second bedroom has a smooth official career, and the third bedroom has accumulated a lot of experience, except for not inheriting the title, their Yongning Marquis Mansion is finally about to rise.

If she was narrow-minded and had no tolerance for others or couldn't see the beauty of other houses, Xiao, as the eldest sister-in-law of the Hou Mansion, would probably do everything possible to suppress the second and third houses at the beginning. Fortunately, Xiao and his wife are not like that.

Now that Jiang Zepei is getting married, Mrs. Hou will naturally choose a legitimate daughter from a famous family for her eldest grandson. From now on, their house will become more and more prosperous, and the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law must not be able to use her hands to get someone to use her.

Mrs. Hou and her two daughters-in-law gave many instructions and requirements. The two sisters-in-law felt that the mother-in-law was afraid of "choosing a concubine" for her eldest grandson, and she was really demanding to the extreme.

The prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao, had to take care of the house every day, so Mrs. Hou told her to go and do her work, leaving Tang Bingxuan alone.

"Xuan'er, your sister-in-law's circle is only that big. Your circle is the most well-connected in our house. It's up to you to choose the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law."

"Is mother determined to choose a high-class wife for Brother Pei?"

Tang Bingxuan probably understood her mother-in-law's intention, but she didn't quite agree with it. The reason why the old Marquis worked so hard for the Hou Mansion was because the head of the Hou Mansion was not capable enough;
Nowadays, all three of their houses are developing well. It is reasonable to marry a wife with a good family, but it is not necessarily a good thing if the family is higher than that of the marquis.

In Tang Bingxuan's opinion, the most important thing is character. Of course, Mrs. Hou's eldest grandson's daughter-in-law requires not only that she be the legitimate daughter of a high family, but also that she must have good character.

Therefore, Tang Bingxuan felt that her mother-in-law was too harsh. How could there be such a perfect person in the world.

Take Tang Bingxuan herself, for example. Although she is from a high family and has good looks and talents, she is lazy and doesn't like to do chores. She is definitely not a qualified eldest grandson-in-law in the eyes of her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Hou thought for a moment, then said in deep thought: "The family status should not be lower than that of the Hou Mansion at least. When the time comes, I can help by coming over to accompany your sister-in-law when she goes out to socialize."

Even though Mrs. Xiao has been the prince's wife for some years, she usually socializes well with people of similar family background. If she meets a royal family member or a wife with a prominent family background, Mrs. Xiao will always hide away unconsciously or can only act like a stranger. Wooden people make no mistakes.

"Our brother Pei is so loved by his grandmother that he has to be the best in choosing a daughter-in-law. He is really envious of others like me."

Tang Bingxuan was not jealous of her eldest nephew. She was just used to being close to her mother-in-law Qiao, and she would find a sense of presence from time to time.

Mrs. Hou tapped Tang Bingxuan's forehead and joked: "Yes, of course I love my grandson. In the future, Brother You will marry according to today's request."

For God's sake, let's forget it. Tang Bingxuan is not Xiao's sister-in-law, and she can't stand the daughter-in-law of everyone.

There is no title inheritance for their third wife, so there is no need to marry a daughter-in-law with a prominent family background, as long as she is suitable, is not a troublemaker, and has good character.

"Oh, mother, our Brother You is still young and you are thinking too far ahead. We should just worry about Brother Pei's marriage."

At this moment, Tang Bingxuan made up her mind to choose a wife for her son in the future. Firstly, she must have a good temper and be liked by her son. Secondly, she must be filial and take care of the housework early. When the time comes, she will just be an old feudal lord to support her in her old age. Jiang Shunian and others, who were fighting bravely at the border, did not know the plans of the female relatives at home, and even if they knew, they would not have the energy to intervene.

The royal tent of the Holy Lord is right next to the military tent of General Rongguo Gong. It is protected by the imperial army. Although it is not afraid of sneak attack and assassination by the enemy camp, the target is too obvious and it is a bright target for arrows. Therefore, the military tent of Lord Rongguo is located in the middle. The military tent is on one side.

Several generals who accompanied His Majesty on the expedition gathered in Rong Guogong's military tent during the day to study the battle plan. His Majesty went in early and came back late every day. The sergeants and generals who witnessed this all respected His Majesty even more.

Since the border town of Lingguo was attacked by Di and Rong last month, we have been recuperating until the Holy Emperor arrived at the border in person.

Now the armies and horses of the three countries are encamped in their respective camps and are formulating battle plans before the war officially begins.

Duke Rong Guo pointed to the border battle map to discuss the battle plan with His Majesty and the generals, "Di and Rong have joined forces and are both brave and capable prairie and desert warriors. Although their numbers are not as good as ours, Ling's, their personal abilities and war horses They are much better than our sergeants."

"Winter will enter in a few months, and the two countries, Di and Rong, cannot keep up with their supplies and must fight quickly."

The generals discussed from sunrise to the bright moon and formulated a series of plans to defeat the enemy.

Di and Rong joined forces to fight against Ling Guo but did not trust each other's allies. Their soldiers still camped separately, hoping to outflank Ling Guo's sergeants in an "eight" shape.

Duke Rongguo analyzed that if he wanted to break the pincer attack between Di and Rong, it would be best to burn the food and grass of Rong.

The territory of the Rong State is mostly desert, and the domestic production of grain and other crops is limited. If their grain and grass are destroyed, they will definitely not insist on helping the Di State to attack the Ling State.

Although Di State relies on Rong State to cooperate with him, if they provide Rong State with food and grass for free, they themselves may not be able to bear it.

Their grassland country is mainly nomadic and has good land resources but is not good at gathering farming for generations. The domestic crop output is only slightly higher than that of the Rong Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit, Rong Guogong and others have drawn up a plan to burn grain and grass, but it has not yet been decided who will be sent to complete this difficult task.

On the second day, when Rong Guogong and other generals were waiting for His Majesty in the Chinese army camp, the senior generals and His Majesty were still discussing candidates.

“Your Majesty, this mission is very difficult and dangerous, and I believe that only those with strong martial arts skills in the army can be chosen to do it;
Quanzi is not talented, but he is the most skilled martial artist among his peers in the government of our country. I recommend Quanzi Tang Wensong to complete this mission. "

The Holy Emperor was as silent as ever since he entered the Chinese army camp. Most of the time, the generals discussed the results and then he made the final decision.

At this moment, Tang Wensong was in the camp. Seeing his father Rong Guogong recommending him, he asked the Holy Lord for orders without being humble or arrogant.

"I am willing to lead people to complete this mission and contribute to our great plan of Lingguo. I hope that the Holy One will fulfill my wish."

Most of the soldiers in the army were from ordinary peasant families. They had brute strength but no martial arts skills. This mission was obviously difficult and dangerous. Only the children trained by aristocratic families or those taught martial arts by famous teachers in the world could be qualified. .
