Mrs. General is a little sweet

Chapter 2
"His aunt, have you heard that our second young lady from Xu Xiangye's family is going to marry the eldest son of Zhennan Prince's Mansion." The anecdote I heard last night was shared with the woman selling fish.

The woman handled the fish in her hand neatly, and while looking at the customers who bought the fish, she responded with a teasing smile, "I said, Mrs. Chunhua, where did you hear this nonsense? Knowing the relationship between Xu Xiangye and Zhennan Wang, the two of them would pinch each other when they met, how could they get married?"

Chunhua's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, she knew that few people in this small town knew about it, so she immediately put down her picks and ran to the fish seller woman and yelled loudly.

"I knew that you definitely didn't know. This is what my uncle who just came back from Shangjing said. He said that it was a marriage bestowed by His Majesty. Now everyone in Shangjing knows about it."

The fish seller stopped immediately when she heard what she was doing. Chunhua's family did have an uncle who was doing business in Shangjing. Chunhua's mother was so sure that she dared to yell loudly. , Did you say that Xu’s old house received the news?”

"I'm afraid I knew it a long time ago, and it has spread to our place. How can my family not know about it!" Chunhua's mother looked at the wealthy family on the right who could still see the eaves several streets away.

Following her line of sight, the woman who bought fish also interjected, her hand holding the vegetable basket tightened again, she leaned closer to the two and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I haven't received the letter yet, This second lady is now accompanying the old lady of the Xu family to the temple in Dongshan to pray."

"Mrs. Ying, how do you know?"

Chunhua's mother asked with some doubts, this Mrs. Ying is the consul's wife of Yuan Li's family in the town, and she has never heard of any relationship with the Xu family, so how would she know about the Xu family.

Mrs. Ying looked around, and continued in a low voice: "A few days ago, my wife brought gifts. The second young lady and the old lady just arrived a few days ago. House, not many people know about it."

These women chatted happily, and did not pay attention to the carriage blocked by the morning market ahead, but the people in that carriage heard the words clearly.

After hearing this, the richly dressed old lady in the carriage slammed the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table, and looked at the letter beside her angrily.

"Your father is really confused. The King of Zhennan has always been at odds with him. They have been fighting for more than ten years. Didn't you suffer when you married? How could his family treat you kindly, let alone the son of the world? It's the day when the knife is licking blood, how can it be your good match?"

The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more angry she became. She was praying for her son and a good marriage for her granddaughter in the temple, but she received a letter from Shangjing.

A soft-faced woman in a blue dress at the side handed a glass of water just poured by the maid to the old lady, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Grandmother, don't worry, I didn't say it all in the letter. This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty. What can daddy do, he can't let daddy disobey the imperial decree for the sake of his granddaughter alone, if daddy really disobeyed, the Xu family will not be punished, grandma loves Yaoer so much, she is willing to see Yaoer's beautiful face separated from her body."

"Bah ah ah~"

When the old lady heard this, she raised her hand and slapped the girl's arm, her angry face became more loving, "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xu Yunyao felt a little better when she saw her grandmother's face softened a lot. When she saw the letter from home, she was also shocked. Although she had already prepared for this day to come, she had thought about many partners, but she didn't know. It turned out to be Zhennan Wang's family. It seems that His Majesty is in a hurry to go to the doctor. It's just that the two families have fought too much, and now they want to get married. It must be extremely difficult.

"Although your eldest sister is a crown princess, she is living a difficult life. There are constant fights, open and secret. I have long been heartbroken. Now that you are going to marry into the Zhennan Palace, it is so difficult for our daughter."

As Mrs. Xu talked, she thought of her eldest granddaughter. Thinking of her two miscarriages in the past few years made her feel even more distressed. She was already in conflict with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. If Xu Yunyao married, it would be difficult What day is it.

"Grandmother, since His Majesty bestowed the marriage, Zhennan Wangfu will not dare to treat Yao'er badly. Besides, there are many noble girls in Beijing who are devoted to the eldest son, so it must not be bad. Where can the granddaughter be wronged? You, Just relax and think about what dowry to prepare for your granddaughter!"

What Xu Yunyao said was just to comfort the old lady. If she said she was not worried, it would be a lie. Leaving aside the relationship between her family and the Zhennan Wang family, just based on what she had heard about the eldest son over the years, she could not think of it. It's a bit scary.

It is said that the eldest son of Zhennan Wangfu can shoot arrows at wolves at the age of ten, and went to the battlefield with his father at the age of 13. In the first battle, the Turks lost three generals in a row. The Turks who fought a year later had to send envoys He begged for mercy, and offered the most beautiful princess and his wife. According to rumors, this prince descended into the world like a god of death on the battlefield. He killed thousands of people with a knife in his hand. Now the Turkic people are scared out of their wits when they mention his name. Lost, let alone sent troops to commit crimes.

In the past few years, he has been guarding the frontier. Occasionally when he returned to Beijing, he entered the palace to receive a reward. He never attended the activities held by various houses in the capital, so few people saw him.Most of them took a look at it from a distance, only knowing that he was tall and tall, and his complexion was not too fair. Few people had seen his specific appearance.

Xu Yunyao was afraid that Qin Zhan had a violent temper. She heard from Xiaomei that the daughter of the cook at home married an officer and soldier. After the man was sent away, he was forced to write a letter of divorce and let the woman go.

······
"Miss, ma'am."

Xiaomei called her a few times but didn't see her lady responding, so she got into the car and shook her arm before she realized her rudeness, and then followed her grandmother out of the car.

The Xu family looked at Mrs. Xu and Xu Yunyao, and didn't know how to speak for a while. It was a good thing for their niece to be married by His Majesty, but according to their relationship with the Zhennan Palace, they didn't know whether they should congratulate them or not. , which made the old lady unhappy, but if she didn't congratulate her, wouldn't it appear that she didn't know how to be polite?

"Boss. Second child, you all know about Yunyao. Earlier, I sent someone back home to pack up. Today we are leaving for Beijing." The old lady said to her two sons while holding the hand of the eldest brother.

Uncle Xu held Mrs. Xu's hand instead, looked at Yunyao, "Mother, then you should be careful all the way, I have prepared some special products for you and the third child, I think the third child will miss these too."

Xu Xiangye is the third son of the family, and originally wanted the family to move out of the old house, but the uncle and the second master of the Xu family were also afraid that something would affect the third son, so they simply did some business in their hometown, which is considered too much Very well done.

"Yunyao, take care of yourself, and send uncle's greetings to your parents." Uncle Xu didn't dare to say congratulatory words when he saw his mother's expression was not good.

"Yunyao knows, uncle and uncle, then Yunyao went back to Beijing with grandmother, please take care, uncle and aunt."

After Xu Yunyao saluted, Mrs. Xu motioned for her to help her get into the car. Mrs. Xu knew that this matter should not be delayed, and she didn't want to stay longer with her family, so she had to leave and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Linjiang city station.

"Master, we've gone half way. I've heard a lot of rumors about you and Miss Xu's family. Even the royal marriage has never been so lively." Sanhu took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and looked at it. The people at the next table who were still discussing said to Qin Zhan.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The king is the king and the minister is the minister. Don't talk nonsense." Qin Zhan put down the tea bowl in his hand, and the anger on his face increased a little.

These rumors are very common to Qin Zhan. Given the relationship between the two of them, if the common people don't discuss it enthusiastically, then there is a problem. The truth is that Shangjing is not a place where you can say whatever you want, not to mention talking, even what you do, you have to be extremely cautious.

"The last general made a slip of the tongue." Knowing that he had said something wrong, Sanhu refilled Qin Zhan's tea, and then changed the subject, "By the way, have you seen Miss Xu's before?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhan frowned, trying to think of something, seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Sanhu thought he had said something wrong again, and just when he didn't know what to do, the victim finally remembered.

"She saw it once when she was four years old, at Qingshan Temple."

"Why are you in Qingshan Temple?" Sanhu felt strange, before swallowing the meat in his mouth, he hurriedly asked.

Speaking of this matter, Qin Zhan couldn't help recalling that small figure, who was very old-fashioned in his small speech, "I went to the incense with my mother and met Mrs. Xu with her there, and I met him in a hurry."

"And after that, haven't you seen it again?"

Sanhu couldn't wait to know whether this son was familiar with this future son or concubine.

"I haven't seen him again since then." Qin Zhan didn't know what to do. Speaking of his future wife, he wanted to know more, but he didn't want to respond, so he stood up and walked out of the house, "After eating, continue on your way , go back to Beijing earlier."
