Mrs. General is a little sweet
Chapter 3 First Encounter at the City Gate
Chapter 3 First Encounter at the City Gate
Three days later, outside the capital.
For some reason, the number of carriages and horses entering the city has gradually increased in the past few days. In order to ensure that there is no danger in going to Beijing, the carriages and horses entering the city have to be inspected, and more people are queuing up, including the carriages and horses of the Xu family. .
"It's finally here. After returning home, I have to prepare my Yaoer's dowry."
Mrs. Xu has been thinking about it for the past few days. Her daughter's confidence is all given by her mother's family. She can't wrong her granddaughter. She is already at odds with her husband's family, so she needs to be more prepared.
Xu Yunyao was afraid that her grandmother would get angry these few days, and she would get sick again. Seeing that she was thinking about other things now, she felt relieved.
"Grandmother, Second Sister, I'm here to pick you up."
Hearing a familiar voice, Xu Yunyao went to the market and opened the curtain of the car. It was a young man riding a fine horse and wearing a fancy dress.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"It's Daddy who said that you guys will come back immediately after receiving the letter. After calculating the date, it should be here today, so I specially asked me to pick you up and grandma." Xu Mingli straightened his horsewhip, turned around, and when he turned around, he heard voices coming from behind him. There was a sound of hooves.
Xu Yunyao followed her elder brother's gaze, and saw a small group of army horses approaching in the distance. The person in front of the group was wearing brown-red armor, with a high crown on his head, and a long sword hanging on the side of the horse. It is awe-inspiring to watch from a distance.
The gaze from a distance caught Qin Zhan's attention. Looking at the chariots and horses in front of him, he gradually slowed down, thinking that he would approach them after they had gone far away, but he didn't seem to want to move at all. , If you didn't need to pay attention to it before, you can just nod your head, but according to the current relationship, after thinking about it, you still stepped forward to say hello.
"Master Xu, long time no see."
Xu Mingli grabbed the reins, clasped his hands and saluted in response, "It's been a long time since I saw you, Prince Qin must have received the order to return to Beijing to return!"
Hearing Xu Mingli's words, not only Xu Yunyao raised her head to look at the person coming, but even the old lady, who was resting, regained her energy and got up immediately.
"I've seen the old lady." Seeing the old and the young in the carriage looking up, Qin Zhan immediately greeted him.
Seeing that his grandmother didn't respond, Xu Mingli turned his body sideways, and raised his hand to introduce Xu Yunyao, "This is my second younger sister, Yunyao."
"Hi, general!" Xu Yunyao immediately greeted her when her elder brother mentioned her, and Qin Zhan also nodded in response.
"Cough cough..." Qin Zhan coughed twice to show his response, "I still have to go to the palace to report back, so I won't waste time, Qin Zhan is a step ahead."
"Then go slowly, general."
After Xu Mingli responded, Qin Zhan and his party rode into the city.
After watching him leave, the old lady said: "Although this Prince Qin is handsome, but he has too much murderous spirit, he doesn't look like a bad tempered person, but he just doesn't know what kind of person he is?"
"No matter what kind of person you are, no matter how good or bad your character is, since His Majesty bestowed marriage on you, whether he is good or bad, your granddaughter must marry him, right?" .
"Second sister said, let's go, don't keep mother waiting." Xu Mingli said as he lowered the curtain of the carriage, signaling the driver to enter the city.
The city gate was already lively enough today, and the pairing of the two attracted a lot of attention. Everyone watched the excitement at the city gate with great interest, and this side alone was enough for the crowd to be lively for a few days.
It has been seven days since His Majesty bestowed the marriage. According to common sense, the congratulatory people have already stepped through the gates of the two families, but these few days have been surprisingly quiet. Offended people.
Xu Yunyao thought back to the person she met just now. It turned out that he was so handsome, with a heroic aura that the wealthy sons of Shangjing did not have. He was not only handsome, but also had outstanding military exploits. , The family background is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Qin Zhan's father was the only king with a different surname in the current dynasty. He held most of the soldiers and horses of the Wu Dynasty in his hands, and was still favored by His Majesty. Or himself, Qin Zhan is undoubtedly a man worth marrying, but the two families are...
After the carriage and horses entered the city, they wandered through several streets, and they finally arrived. The family received a message from Xiao Si, Mrs. Xu and her two aunts were already waiting at the door, and after the old lady got out of the car, a group of people greeted her. .
"Come on, come in quickly, there are quite a few people watching the theater!"
The old lady waved her hand towards the greetings, looked at the people gathered around, and immediately issued an order. Seeing the old lady's displeasure, everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and followed the old lady into the house immediately.
"Mother has worked hard all the way, why don't you go back to the house and rest?" Mrs. Xu led the old lady into the front hall, and then asked what the old lady meant.
The old lady's face was extremely displeased, she stopped and looked at Mrs. Xu, "What happened to me, why don't you rest, wait for the third child to come back and ask him to meet me at the residence."
"Hey, my daughter-in-law knows!"
Seeing the crowd of people wanting to accompany her back to the courtyard, Mrs. Xu felt bored in her heart, so she asked everyone to disperse and went back by herself with a few maids close to her.
When the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Xu hurriedly dragged Xu Yunyao into the inner room. Before she could sit still, she erupted and cried while dragging her daughter.
"Yao'er, why are you so miserable? Tell me about it, it's not good to be betrothed to anyone. Why is it Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
Xu Yunyao shook her head and smiled helplessly. It's just that her grandmother is old and she can't see clearly. Why is her mother so confused? She sat next to her mother, picked up the handkerchief in her hand, and replaced Mrs. Xu Wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
Seeing her daughter being so considerate, Mrs. Xu felt even more aggrieved. She held her daughter's hand and continued to cry, "Your father was still angry the past two days, but I don't know what happened these days. It's as if this thing never happened."
"My mother is so confused. Your majesty's marriage is just a pretext. My father fought too much with the prince. It's just an excuse. In fact, it's to beat civil and military officials. I want to use this marriage to remind all officials. , this marriage is absolutely impossible to push back."
Seeing that her mother was so confused and unable to grasp the reality clearly, Xu Yunyao simply spoke out directly, so that her mother could accept this matter earlier.
"Unexpectedly, my Yao'er is the most sensible, and it's not in vain for Daddy to love you." Xu Xiangcai heard what his daughter said when he arrived outside the door, and was immediately relieved. These days, he had to pretend to deal with his wife, but he felt very Know the outcome of this marriage.
Seeing her father's return, Xu Yunyao immediately stood up and saluted, but Mrs. Xu was so angry that she couldn't say a word, sobbing and covering her face with her handkerchief, she dared not make a sound.
Master Xu took off his official hat and came over, motioning for his daughter to sit down, "I'm very pleased that Yao'er thinks so much about it for my father, but I'm afraid that you will think about it for a while and resent my father!"
"What is Daddy talking about? How dare the daughter blame Daddy?" Xu Yunyao said, taking the official hat from her father and putting it down. Be mentally prepared and don't plan to blame anyone.
"Yao'er is so sensible, Daddy can rest assured." Xu Xiangye said this just to comfort his daughter, if he is not angry, it is impossible, with his daughter's talent and beauty, even today's prince can marry of.
He was originally optimistic about the younger brother of the prince, the youngest son of the empress, and the fourth prince of the dynasty, His Highness the King of Yue. He had spied on him several times, and his majesty also had this intention. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine would blow your majesty's pillow wind , came up with such an idea in order to marry her own niece. She was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Yunyao's hiding from the position of crown princess before, and now she can't let the Xu family do what she wants.
"If the parents have nothing to say, then the daughter will retire first."
Xu Yunyao performed a daughter's gift, thinking that she should also step down, the official uniform is heavy, so let her father take it off first.
"Wait." Xu Xiangye patted his wife who was still covering her face and crying, and stopped her daughter to explain: "In two days, your sister's baby will be [-] days old, and His Majesty specifically told you to enter the palace. In the past two days, let the tailor come to the door and prepare a better dress."
"Daughter knows!"
After saluting again, Yun Yao withdrew. If His Majesty asked her to go by name, Prince Qin would definitely go too, but I'm afraid that other things will happen.
In the palace, go to the study room.
Emperor Wen was very happy to see the success of suppressing the bandits in his hands, and put the report together on the table, "Okay, every time Ah Zhan returns to Beijing, it will bring me unexpected joy."
"Your Majesty, it's just the responsibility of the last general."
Qin Zhan's return to Beijing this time brought good news about the bandit suppression in the past few months. Originally, bandits were rampant in this southern wasteland, burning, killing and looting. Now, under Qin Zhan's siege, most of them were wiped out, and some were forced to fall Those who joined the army, the people of Nanji City can be at ease.
"I heard that when you entered the city today, you met the carriages and horses of the Xu family?" Emperor Wen suddenly changed the topic and changed the subject. Naturally, he planned this matter by himself, and it took a lot of effort to pinpoint the time. .
Qin Zhan was taken aback after hearing this, and then replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then what do you think of the marriage I promised you?"
Emperor Wen picked up the fan on the side, sat on the chair, and stared straight at Qin Zhan.
"My Majesty bestowed the marriage, and I am very grateful." Qin Zhan was smart enough to know that the Emperor asked such a question, and his father must have mentioned it several times before His Majesty, which made His Majesty unhappy.
"Haha...well, you are indeed more sensible than your old and foolish father." Emperor Wen was very happy when he got the answer he wanted, "You go back first, your parents may not see you for a long time, come back Let's go to the house."
Qin Zhan cupped his hands, bowed his head, and saluted His Majesty: "The last general will retire."
After receiving a light hum from Emperor Wen, Qin Zhan slowly withdrew from the upper study.
