From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 940
Looking up at the sky and taking a deep breath, Zongzheng Mingzhen calmed down a little, then lowered his head and said, "It's okay, I'm a little nervous at the thought of going to pick up the bride later. Have you eaten yet? Is there something wrong with coming here so early?"

It was her ninth birthday last month, and Cheng Xueying turned ten. She is the big girl that Princess Shun calls her.

Guessing that anyone who gets married will be nervous, Cheng Xueying is convinced, and said with a slight smile: "Everyone in the family is busy at the wedding of my uncle, and I want to help my concubine and grandmother share some things. So, I wake up early in the morning without even having dinner. I came here before I had time to eat. Uncle, when are you going to pick up the bride, can I go and see?"

Princess Zhen Guo was married and the whole country was celebrating. The whole capital was boiling. Even if the people went out of the house to see her future aunt, she wanted to see her too.

The little niece who has gone through the palace changes and the flames of war is no longer the coquettish, crying and willful Princess Ninth. As she grows up day by day, she looks more and more like her elder sister Zongzheng Wanyin.

Feeling sorry that she lost her father at a young age like himself, Zongzheng Mingzhen said: "What's so difficult about it, when we go to greet the relatives later, let Zichen take you behind, but you have to be careful, don't get off the horse Walk around."

There were so many people, even if there was Jingji Wei to clear the way, it would cause chaos, and she was already a big girl, so Zichen couldn't ride a horse with her, she had to be obedient.

When he was enfeoffing the land, he learned how to ride a horse with his concubine mother. Although the equestrian skill is not particularly good, it is enough.Therefore, Cheng Xueying was not afraid, and wanted to see it very much, so she nodded and agreed without thinking.

Seeing her smile like a flower and eyes shining, Zongzheng Mingzhen couldn't help but raised his hand and touched her head and said: "Okay, there are many people in the family who don't need your help, you can go back to eat first. I will let someone Go and call you, and you change into inconspicuous clothes."

The rules of welcoming the bride did not say that the niece should not be allowed to accompany her, and she would follow her at a distance, so nothing would happen to her.

Nodding in agreement and opening her mouth to thank, Cheng Xueying politely saluted before leaving.

At three o'clock, the sun was rising, and Zongzheng Mingzhen set off in a groom's suit, riding a tall horse and leading the wedding party.

With the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers, the people on the road opened their doors one by one, walked out of their homes, and watched this grand wedding.

"Hey, have you heard that the two sons of Princess Zhen Guo are not wild species, nor are they the children of the former prince, they are the biological sons of the Duke of Ming?" The news about Mei Xin's unmarried child had been spread two years ago. Yes, it's very exaggerated, some people even say that Mei Xin is vicious, and after having a child, she will kill the man she is in love with.

A young man standing beside him didn't believe it, and said in a low voice: "Who said that, how did I hear that he is the child of Prince Ping of the former Dynasty."

"Prince Ping, it's all nonsense, nonsense. Princess Zhen is a daughter of the Mei family. You all know that the daughter of the Mei family is as proud as Mei Hua, with a noble character. She does not enter the harem or serve as a concubine. How could it be possible to have something to do with King Ping, stop talking nonsense, and be careful to lose your head." Qingfengge Yanhui was a little angry, because he was the one who put the drunken Zongzheng Mingzhen and Mei Xin together by mistake.

The old man leaning on the door frame saw his angry face, with a weapon on his body, afraid of making a move if there was a disagreement, he hurriedly scolded his son and said: "You are all blind, the two young masters of the eldest princess and the Duke of Ming They look so much alike, and it's not their own. Go, go, go, get out of here, and don't do business all day long, just like a woman will break her mouth."

Misfortune comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth. Presumptuous speaker princess is a serious crime of beheading. He still wants to live for two more years.

The son didn't dare to say anything when the old man spoke. He shrank his head and gave Yan Hui a hard look, and then went home reluctantly.

Yan Hui was so angry that he decided to prove it for Mei Xin. Therefore, as long as someone around him talked about it, he would start talking about how Zongzheng Mingzhen pursued Mei Xin back then, but Mei Xin refused.

Not to mention, it's really useful, once it spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, this matter spread completely after a few days with the help of caring people.

Afterwards, although some people mentioned it and some people questioned it, no one brought her together with Prince Heping. They all said that Zongzheng Mingzhen was useless, and the child was three years old before he chased his daughter-in-law and married her back.

"My lord, let's go back first. This is the time to welcome the relatives. We will worship at dusk. Let's go home first." Zhou Tong saw that Jiang Zhehan was not moving, and kept looking at Zongzheng Mingzhen who was gradually going away. He opened his mouth and said: "Old lady, madam I'm still waiting at home, and I have to go to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate him later, so I have to go back and change my outfit first."

After finishing speaking, he tugged on his sleeve.

Returning to his senses, bowing his head, Jiang Zhehan glanced at him, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "The third brother is right, I can't get into the heart of the eldest princess even if I try my best. She likes Zongzheng Mingzhen."

After losing the martial arts competition in the ring, he was very sad, not because of inferior skills, but because of Mei Xin.

Changes in the palace and the collapse of the previous dynasty, the Jiang family also paid a heavy price in this battle, but as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, because of the grandfather's wise decision, the Jiang family put it to death and survived. Gradually got up.

Of course, it is incomparable with the past, and my grandfather also left. Half a year ago, he only entered Gyeonggi Province with superhuman martial arts.

There was no limit to the position or status of the eldest princess' martial arts contest to recruit relatives. He took part without even thinking about it, not because of his status as son-in-law, nor for his parents and brothers, not for the entire Jiang family, just for Mei Xin.

Two years ago when the Jiang family fell, the crown prince purged the officialdom, found out that an old case from the past was related to his father, and arrested everyone in the Jiang family at that time.

It was Mei Xin who tried the case as quickly as possible and released all the Jiang family members who had nothing to do with the case, and he was able to save his life.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it down, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and Jiang's family was also sealed up because of his father's embezzlement of huge sums of money.They have no money to eat, no place to go, and it is Mei Xin who generously donates money to help them.

300 taels of silver was not enough to buy a piece of clothing for the Jiang family in the past, but at that time it saved the lives of their family and gave them not only food to eat but also a place to stay temporarily.

He has always been very grateful and kept it in his heart, thinking that one day he must repay her, but who knows that she doesn't care at all, and said that it is a small effort so that he doesn't take it to heart.

He was very uncomfortable. After all, he went to Gyeonggiwei and climbed up to get closer to her, and even closer.

Zhou Tong knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't listen to what he said. It's good to see it clearly now, so as not to get stuck in it and get out: "Do your best, listen to the destiny, son, don't think too much. Ming Guogong is not an ordinary family. My son, I believe he will treat the eldest princess well, let's go back quickly."
