From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 712
Satisfied with his father's arrangement, the only young son of Hua Mansion said: "What Dad said is very true, elder sister, you should bring more dowry, and you must not let the people in Prince Liang's Mansion look down on you. I have heard that the tree has a big branch. The family is separated, and the third house of the Mei family will definitely be separated in the future. The third wife of Mei is patriarchal and dislikes her sister, and her brother-in-law will go to the battlefield in the future. If there is no money, it will definitely not work. Father, the man has ambitions everywhere , the son will earn the family business by himself in the future, so let the elder sister take them all."

The eldest sister is like a mother, and he has been following her since his mother passed away.His father is busy with government affairs, and his sister has always been with him.Therefore, he would rather wrong himself than wrong his sister.

Hua Furong was very moved, and finally she didn't hurt him in vain.Raising her hand and gently touching his head, she said with a slight smile: "Sister knows what you want, but you know what my sister is capable of, so you won't be underestimated. Father, don't worry, even if it's cold in the future I'm not afraid of the separation of the royal family, not to mention that brother Guangjian is the eldest son, no matter how they don't like them, he won't give me anything. In fact, I would rather they give me nothing, so that I can stand on my own. Guangjian To be honest, my brother doesn't have any scheming, and he treats me wholeheartedly, as long as we are united, life will be better."

Selfishly speaking, she still hoped that Mrs. Gao would make trouble, the more violent the better, the better if Mei Guangjian gave up, he would lead her out.If you just pass by, you don't need to look at Gao Shi's face, let alone pay attention to or perfunctory her.So, now she can't wait to separate the family as soon as she gets married.

Most of them woke up after drinking half a bowl of hot soup and wine. Mrs. Hua put a chicken leg into her daughter's bowl and said, "Gao is confused and Mei Chongming is not. What's more, Guangjian is the eldest son. How can we drive the eldest son out and pass it on?" It’s not a joke. Right now, there is a Princess Zhenguo in Prince Liang’s mansion. I don’t worry about it as a father. I’m afraid that she will return to Liangzhou in the future. Today, I’m having dinner with a few colleagues and talking about the old inner house of the Mei family. It's a mess. As a father, I'm worried that Mrs. Mei will come back to make things difficult for you, and if you add a Gao family and Guangjian is not in the mansion, what will you do when you are alone?"

Not long after entering Beijing, he originally refused to agree to this marriage, after all, their family is still too far away from Prince Liang's Mansion.He also inquired about the affairs and people of the Mei family in private, and asked someone. Once he heard that Mrs. Mei's morals were not good, he was unwilling.However, after all, he still couldn't help his daughter like him. After meeting Mei Guangjian, he also felt that he was a good boy who was down-to-earth and honest. As long as he worked hard, he would have a bright future.

Hua Furong had also thought about this matter carefully, but it was not convenient for her to ask Mei Guangjian about many things, and it was also not convenient for her to ask people in Prince Liang's mansion.Therefore, even today she has not figured out why Mrs. Mei recuperates in the family temple.

The family temple is on the mountain. Generally, only the female family members who have committed crimes will be sent to the family temple.Mrs. Mei went to the family temple instead of recuperating at home. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter.

Seeing her father's frowning and worrying, Hua Furong said: "Daughter asked the Eldest Princess two days ago, and from what she said, it seemed that she had no plans to return to Liangzhou after giving birth. Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and the child is young. My daughter estimates that she will definitely not return to Liangzhou within three to five years."

Three to five years is enough for her to gain a firm foothold in Mei's third bedroom.

Mrs. Hua thought the same as her before, but there is no absolute, not to mention that Mei Xin is not an ordinary woman after all, let alone a princess pampered in the palace.Waving his hands back and forth, he said in a low voice: "You guys don't know about government affairs at home. The emperor hates the Tartars so much. There must be a tough battle in spring. There are not many who can lead the army to fight, so there is no guarantee that she will not go with the general after giving birth to a child. Daughter, you still have to choose the dowry carefully, and you have to find two calm and smart ones to go there, otherwise my father is really heartbroken I can't let it go."

Although it's the New Year's Eve today, the Ministry of War doesn't have a holiday.On the contrary, they were much busier than usual, and the food, herbs, and horses raised from all over the place were continuously going to Liangzhou.

Hua Furong understood, and after nodding in agreement, the family of three concentrated on eating.

The small capital city is lively, and every family runs to the street after offering sacrifices to the stove.Because of the Lantern Festival in the capital, some people put it up for sale before the end of the year.

Mei Jinze went straight to Ginkgo Street after dinner at Duke Lu's mansion, bought a few Mei Xin and Mei Zhannan's favorite things, and then went to buy lanterns.Liangzhou is no better than the capital city, and the lanterns are very rough. Ever since he was a child, he wanted to buy a beautiful lantern for his younger sister to hang on the bedside, so he rode a horse to North Street.

Although North Street is a civilian area, it is really lively, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are a lot of juggling troupes, and they all do business here to take advantage of the Chinese New Year.

Fearing that the assassins Qingyu and Lu Qingchuan would follow closely, seeing a shop selling lanterns not far ahead, they hurriedly said: "My lord, look at how beautiful the rabbit lantern is made, it looks like it's real, buy it back Missy will definitely like it."

Following his hand, Mei Jinze saw it at a glance, it was really beautiful, and immediately said: "Sure, let's go and have a look, if there are some good-looking ones, buy more and take them home, and change one every day to hang on the bedside, if you can hang it It's fifteen."

My sister didn't even catch up with her birthday, so I just bought some things she likes as an apology.However, Rabbit Deng is too stingy, and the bow and arrow he asked Gu Jiu to make won the joy of his sister.

Herring smiled, feeling that Mei Xin was still a baby who hadn't grown up in his heart.

After a while, the three of them had to get off their horses and walked into the lantern shop because of the crowd. Seeing that there were all kinds of lanterns in them, Mei Jinze picked out more than a dozen lanterns in one go.

Herring couldn't hold it in both hands, and Lu Qingchuan's hand was full, seeing that he was still picking, the two of them said in unison: "My lord, do you still want to buy it?"

On the rise of buying, Mei Jinze held a long carp lantern and said, "Why don't you sell it? I'll count how many and see if there are enough..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Mei Jinze ran out with the lantern.Lu Qingchuan didn't know what happened, so he stuffed all the lanterns in her hands into Herring's arms and chased them out.

Herring could hold more than a dozen lanterns, but when he saw that they had all fallen to the ground, he simply let go.Reaching into his sleeve, he took some broken silver, put it directly on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "Tie it up with a rope, and I will send someone to pick it up later. Remember, don't get it dirty, or I won't want it."

After finishing speaking, he jumped and ran away without waiting for the shopkeeper to agree.Thinking of the unrest in the capital, the assassins entered the Prince Liang's mansion again and again, and Mei Xin was also assassinated, so he quickly chased after him.
