Daughter of General

Chapter 146
The days before marriage are hard—although there is no need to do a lot of needlework by myself, some important things do have to be done by myself.Moreover, Mrs. Guo doesn't care about things, and Mrs. Li doesn't want to cause trouble, but she has to come to ask her about everything, and she just feels that she is as busy as a spinning top.

For a while, some hoped that the days would pass quickly, and that they would get married sooner.Once you get married, everything should almost be back on track.

However, with such a busy schedule, time flies by.In the blink of an eye, the year is approaching.

This is the coldest time of the year.However, there is a charcoal basin in the house, so it is not cold, but it is inconvenient to go out.

The closer to the end of the year, the stricter the martial law in the capital became - because of the New Year's Day, all princes from all over the country, as well as foreign countries, would come to Beijing to congratulate.Which one of these people is not of high status?So naturally there are people around, with many followers and soldiers.All of a sudden, the capital was quite lively because of these people.But sometimes the staggered relationship between these forces is another headache.But these people can't have accidents, at least they can't fight in the capital.Therefore, the martial law had to be strengthened to maintain order.

Shen Junzhi, the general in charge of guarding the city, naturally became busy - it was precisely because of this that the Shen family was extremely sensitive to the current movements in the capital.Judging from Shen Junzhi's increasingly gloomy complexion and his attitude of not going home almost every day, the capital seems to have become a place where the surface is calm but the waves are rough underneath.

Not only the capital, but also the border is also tight.The more it came to winter, when all the trees and plants were dead, the battles at the border became more and more ordinary—especially in the north.Mongolia, the Huns, etc., who lived on herding and did not grow crops, lacked food and clothing in winter.Those ethnic groups are all tough and warlike, so once they can no longer graze, the food will be in short supply.That's when they assembled their troops and came to plunder.

This time is the most difficult time at the border.It is also the time when the enemy is most ferocious and sturdy.

However, the tight border situation can only be found out through gossip—there is no trace of it on the surface in the capital.

Shen Yulan didn't know about it at first, but she found out from Mrs. Guangwuhou—her news network is definitely not as good as Mrs. Guangwuhou's.

Seeing Mrs. Guangwuhou's frowning look, Shen Yulan only comforted her softly, but she didn't know what to say—in fact, she was also very worried about Qi Yuzhou.The man was young and energetic, and he didn't know how he was doing at the border.But looking at Mrs. Guangwuhou's appearance, it must be uneasy.

But even though she was worried, she was helpless——Qi Yuzhou was determined not to have anything to do with her, what could she do?Besides, now that she's engaged, I'm afraid she won't be able to be careless in the future.

Thinking of these, Shen Yulan felt restless and irritable for a while.Even towards this accepted marriage, she faintly resisted.

If she had a choice, she sincerely hoped that her husband's family would be more ordinary, at least she could live more freely.

But now... many things can't tolerate her.She would accept this marriage even if she wasn't willing.

Shen Yulan knew and understood in her heart: she had better adjust her mentality in time.

However, no matter how negative she is, all the things that should be prepared must be prepared - for example, she tried her best to obtain rough information on all the current population of the Gu family.As for the details, she couldn't get them.Especially the core ones.For example, the eldest princess, Gu Meng's mother, these housewives are good at hiding outside and wear masks.Especially the eldest princess, who has not walked outside for many years, it is even more difficult for people to find out.

However, the eldest princess is the core of the entire Gu family.

However, even rough information is better than passing by with a black eye.

Shen Yulan has put a lot of effort into studying the place where she wants to live in the future, and she must have a good start.Fortunately, these boring things are not so annoying with Jin He's help at the side.

However, Jin He couldn't help but teased Shen Yulan because of this: "You really are, what if you leave me in the future?"

Shen Yulan pouted, then deliberately smiled and acted like a baby: "Then don't separate, I won't marry."

Jin He smiled wryly and shook his head: "How can I not get married? Sooner or later, there will be such a day. If we can not separate--" Even though he knew in his heart that this was just a joke, but he couldn't help but still showed expectations in his eyes and face. Looking forward to the color.

Shen Yulan was also aroused by her reluctance in her heart, couldn't help but hugged Jin He, and leaned over to rub against each other: "If there is a way, we will never be separated for the rest of our lives."

After sticking to each other for a while, just when Shen Yulan's mood was gradually calming down, Jin He suddenly opened his mouth—"Actually, it's not really that there is no way."

Jin He hesitated when he said this, Shen Yulan only took Jin He as a joke, and didn't take it to heart, he just teased casually: "What's the way?" They are all married, so how could they really not be separated?It's all nonsense.

But after another look, seeing that Jin He pursed his lips slightly with a serious expression on his face, he was startled and couldn't help but look squarely at it.

Unexpectedly, when Jin He saw her gaze, he dodged Qiqi Ai instead and stood up. After a long while, he stammered a word: "In ancient times, there was E Huang Nvying, and now there are sisters from her own family who are concubines of Teng. If In this way, we will never have to separate, how about... let me be your dowry concubine Teng? We—"

"No!" Shen Yulan came back from the daze, almost unable to control her emotions, almost interrupted Jin He with a cold drink. "Absolutely not!"

To be honest, she was completely dazzled by Jin He's proposal.I just feel like I have been struck by lightning, and I can't calm down no matter what.She never expected that Jin He would propose such a method.

How can this work?She worked with Jin He, and just thinking about such a thing made her feel unbearably disgusted—if she really had to work with someone, she would rather be a strange woman she didn't know.He will never ask for Jin He.Yes, in ancient times there was Emperor E and Nv Ying, and now there are concubines Teng who marry as dowry, but she, Shen Yulan, absolutely cannot accept it!

However, after seeing Jin He's stunned eyes gradually showing tears, Shen Yulan also realized that her attitude was too decisive and fierce, so that Jin He might feel uncomfortable.But this matter is not a trivial matter, even though she felt apologetic, she couldn't open her mouth to comfort Jin He with specious words.

Jin He picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes. It took a long while before he forced a smile, lowered his head and choked with sobs, and said, "I'm confused. How could I have such thoughts? You just think I'm just joking."

Shen Yulan, however, sounded rather uncomfortable—was it really a joke just now?No, I'm afraid that Jin He really moved that kind of thought.From Jin He's point of view, it's not that Shen Yulan can't understand why Jin He thinks this way.Jin He's status is embarrassing, and life in the Shen family is not comfortable.Presumably, after she got married, Jin He's life would only become more difficult.

Under such circumstances, Jin He must be uneasy and apprehensive.I want to find a way to change this situation.It is understandable for Jin He not to want to leave her, and it is not surprising that she has such an idea because she has pure ancient thinking.

But, she couldn't accept it.She and Jin He are good sisters and relatives who depend on each other for life.Not to mention whether she is willing to work with others, but she doesn't want this relationship to be tarnished by other things.

Now that's good enough.No need to go any further.She didn't want her sisters to turn against each other for a man one day, and then become jealous.

Ask yourself, Shen Yulan is not a magnanimous person.So she felt that she couldn't share a man with others, even if it was Jin He... No, it should be said that if the other party was Jin He, it would only make her feel more uncomfortable and more concerned.

No matter how she thought about it, she really couldn't accept this.

However, afraid of Jin He's misunderstanding or even more inferiority complex, Shen Yulan thought it over and explained carefully: "Sister He, it's not that I don't want to be with you-it's just that this method is simply impossible. Okay. How can you be a concubine? Wouldn’t that humiliate you for nothing? Also, do we have to use this method to be together? Of course not. After I get married, I will definitely find a way to find a concubine for you It's a good marriage. When the time comes, you will also be married, and we can get together from time to time, so it's not considered separated. I know you didn't have a good time in Shen's house, and you suffered a lot of grievances, but such a day, don't It's going to be too long. You trust me."

Shen Yulan said this very sincerely - of course she really thought so in her heart.

Jin He kept his head down, and after hearing these words, he raised his head after a while, but the tears in his eyes faded away, and there was a smile on his face: "I know what you want, I just believe it. It's just nonsense. This method, of course, won't work."

"It's great that you can think like this." Shen Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved, then hugged Jin He and said joyfully.

As long as Jin He doesn't go into a corner by himself, then naturally there will be no other problems.As for the matter of Concubine Teng—it is normal for the little girl to speak out on a whim without regard to the consequences.

So in the final analysis, Shen Yulan didn't pay much attention to this matter, and after a few days, she completely forgot about it.
