General's Mansion, backyard.

Eight-year-old Yuan Ying is sitting with thirteen-year-old Zhu Ling by the fish pond to enjoy the fish, the lively and lovely little Yuan Ying is holding the osmanthus cake in her hand and eating it with relish, which was bought by Yuan Mai renamed "Zhu Ling" when he went shopping in the morning.

"Brother Amai has been out for a year, and he doesn't come back to see me, it's really hateful!"

The topic of the two chatted back and forth, and it subconsciously fell on Yuan Mai. Xiao Yuan Ying pouted while eating osmanthus cake, although Brother Amai couldn't hear it, but since Zhu Ling was his servant, he must have conveyed it to him sooner or later.

"Childe is fighting outside, the world is not peaceful, so naturally he won't come back!" Zhu Ling clasped his arms in front of his chest and said with a heroic look.

"You are Brother Amam's servant, since Brother Amai is not coming back, why are you still staying in the mansion and not going to Jinyang to serve him?" Xiao Yuan Ying ate quickly, and it didn't take much effort to completely fill a palm-sized osmanthus cake into her stomach, smacking her small mouth, and said slowly.

Zhu Ling was stunned, and immediately reflected, "I wanted to go to Jinyang to serve Gongzi, but Gongzi asked me to stay and play with you, so I couldn't go to Jin......yang."

"Ahh......h So you don't want to play with Sakura? Did Brother Amat force you to stay, so you didn't leave? Isn't that so? Xiao Yuan Ying finished eating the osmanthus cake, and she was still unsatisfied, and while arguing with Zhu Ling, she licked the rice grains stuck to her fingers.

"Sakura?"

Zheng's shouts came from the corridor not far away, and he didn't see his daughter's shadow for half an afternoon. Zheng Yu was not at ease, so he came to look for it in person. A woman walked in front of her, her steps hurried, as if she was in a hurry.

Zheng Yu recognized Feng Ji's wife Zhang, so he greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang is in a hurry, I don't know if there is anything urgent?" ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng, not for anything else, Mrs. Liu sent someone to ask me to discuss the matter of organizing a wedding for Mr. Shang! Zhang stopped and explained with a smile. Although Zheng Yu is only Yuan Shao's concubine, she is very favored, and it is not for her to offend.

"Planning a marriage for Shang Gongzi? Is it to take a concubine? I wonder which family's daughter has such blessings? Zheng Yu clasped his hands. Stand upright. Asked.

Zhang smiled: "Yes, I am just going to give Shang Gongzi a concubine!" The woman is Zhen Mi, the little lady of the Zhen family, who once promised to be married to Gongzi Xi as a concubine, but unfortunately. Not married yet. Xi Gongzi was poisoned by the Huns. I thought the Zhen family didn't have this blessing. Who knew that Mrs. Liu fell in love with Zhen Mi, a girl, and planned to rematch her to Shang Gongzi, so I didn't want to go to Zhen's house to be a matchmaker! I'll start by looking for an auspicious day for the zodiac. After a while, I will go to Zhen's house to propose marriage. ”

Zhu Ling, who was playing with Yuan Ying, listened to the conversation between the two women and was shocked. When the son was leaving, he had entrusted himself to take care of Zhen Niangzi, and now the hateful Mrs. Liu actually wants to marry her to Yuan Shang, a little white face, if the marriage is completed, what face do I have to see the son?

"No, I have to hurry up to Zhen's house to inform Second Master Zhen and let them sit down early and prepare!"

After making up his mind, Zhu Ling jumped down from the stone by the fish pond and ran out of the house.

"Hey...... Zhu Xiaoqi, why are you running so fast? I didn't bully you? Seeing Zhu Ling running as agile as a rabbit, Yuan Ying was suddenly full of grievances and muttered loudly.

"I'm in a hurry to pee!"

Zhu Ling shouted while speeding up his pace, and made a big move of "urinating", and quickly left the mansion through the small door in the backyard.

After a year of exercise, thirteen-year-old Zhu Ling's physique was already quite good, and he came to the alley where Zhen's house was located in a short trot, and knocked the knocker out of breath.

After a while, the vermilion lacquer door opened, and a beautiful head poked out, it was Zhen Mi's fifteen-year-old maid Luzhu, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Zhu Xiaoqi?" Are you so out of breath, being chased by wolves? ”

Normally, Zhu Ling has to rub his tongue with this little maid for a while, but today he lost this mood and rushed in: "I don't have time to gossip with you, I have something urgent to find the second master and the little lady!" ”

"Second master? Zhen Niangzi? After entering the courtyard, Zhu Ling shouted at the top of his throat.

Zhen Yao was practicing swords in the backyard, Zhen Mi was repairing the strings in the room, and when they heard Zhu Ling's anxious shout, they all realized that something urgent was likely to happen. This little guy is a big ghost, under normal circumstances, he can calm down, listening to this shout so urgently, most of the time something is wrong!

Zhen Yao put away the sword, walked quickly to the front yard, and asked calmly, "Zhu Ling, you are so flustered, what happened?" ”

Zhen Mi also came to the two of them and stood with their hands folded: "Yes, Zhu Ling, what's going on, so panicked?" Take your time and listen! ”

"Huh......" Zhu Ling gasped heavily, "It's a big deal, the Yuan family is ready to marry a little lady!" ”

Listening to Zhu Ling's words, Zhen Mi's eyes showed a happy look, and her face was a little shy, her heart "banged" and jumped, and she lowered her head and said: "Marry and marry, didn't you already know about me and Mai Gongzi?" As for running so out of breath? ”

Zhen Yao was also quite surprised, originally thought that it would be good if Zhen Mi and Yuan Mai's marriage could be completed in two or three years, but he didn't expect Yuan Mai to convince Yuan Shao so quickly, it seems that Ah Mi is still very important in his heart!

"No, it's not a buyer!" Zhu Ling hung his chest hard, letting his heartbeat slow down a little.

"Not Yuan Mai?" The Zhen brothers and sisters were dumbfounded at the same time, and asked in unison with their eyes stared.

Zhu Ling nodded vigorously, and said with an innocent face: "Well, it's not a buy boy!" I just heard the conversation between Feng Ji's wife and Mrs. Zheng, and the general listened to Mrs. Liu's suggestion and was going to marry the little lady to Shang Gongzi as a concubine, and Mrs. Zhang came over to propose marriage in a while. ”

"Third brother, how is this good?"

Zhen Mi understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be confused, shaking her brother's arm, and asked with a disgraced face.

Zhen Yao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan, you immediately pack your bags, leave Yecheng with green bamboo, and go to Jinyang to find Yuan Mai." I'll take care of the rest! ”

"Yes, Zhen Niangzi go quickly, go to Jinyang to find our son-in-law, he will definitely protect you!" Zhu Ling nodded and agreed.

Zhen Mi looked worried, it was easy to escape, if Yuan Shao was angry with the Zhen family because of his escape, his family would be implicated, the entire Zhen family, more than 20 people, old and young, if they were innocently implicated because of their escape, how could they be at ease?

"I'm not leaving!" Zhen Mi shook her head and resolutely refused, "If I wanted to escape, I would have escaped last year when Mrs. Zhang was the matchmaker and promised me to Yuan Xi, I didn't escape at that time, and I can't escape now!" ”

What will happen if her sister resists marriage and absconds, Zhen Yao knows better than her. Dealing with people who go against his will, Yuan Shao does not have a bodhisattva heart, and in terms of eradicating dissidents, Yuan Shao can be regarded as vigorous and resolute. If Zhen Mi absconds, the Zhen family is likely to be imprisoned for this, but if Zhen Mi is not allowed to escape, what can be done?

"Although because of your escape, the Zhen family is likely to usher in disaster, but my brother knows that you are infatuated with Yuan Xianyong, how can you watch you marry someone you don't like? You quickly pack your bags and let Uncle Zhong take you and Luzhu to Jinyang to find Yuan Mai, he is now a state assassin, and with him to protect you, you can survive this catastrophe. If Mrs. Zhang comes to propose, I will try to be perfunctory! ”

Zhen Mi shook her head and rejected her brother's kindness: "I won't go, I can't be selfish and only think about myself, and even my mother and two brothers, as well as sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces, I have already thought of countermeasures, and when Mrs. Zhang comes, I have my own way to respond!" ”

Listening to his sister's words, Zhen Yao's face moved, and he asked in surprise, "What is your good plan?" Tell me, brother! ”

Zhen Mi lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "Later, Mrs. Zhang will come, and you will know!" ”

After Zhen Mi finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the boudoir, closed the door, and didn't know what she was tinkering with in the room. Zhen Yao instructed Zhu Ling to go back secretly, so as not to be noticed by others and expose their dealings with each other. Zhu Ling agreed, and disappeared neatly into the streets and alleys through the back door.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, Zhen Yao opened the door himself, and what he saw was indeed Feng Ji's wife Zhang, followed by six or seven servants and maidservants, preparing many rich dowries.

After the greetings, Mrs. Zhang went straight to the point and expressed her intentions, saying that she was entrusted by Yuan Gong and Mrs. Yuan to come to propose marriage, and was ready to marry Zhen Mi's wife to Yuan Shanggongzi as a concubine, and invited her to come out to see her.

Zhen Yao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his sister's gourd, so he could only let Zhang into the guest room and instructed Luzhu: "Please come out and meet Mrs. Zhang!" ”

Lu Zhu agreed, turned around, and after a while, helped Zhen Mi into the guest room. I saw that Zhen Mi at this time was very different from before, with a big belly, as if she was five or six months pregnant, she had a hard time walking, and she became a pregnant woman.

"Ah...... Zhen Niangzi, how did you become like this? ”

Zhang's face is like dirt, as ugly as it is, it is impossible for a woman with a big belly to become the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, and she can't do it as a matchmaker, so she beat her chest and said, "Oops...... Getting pregnant before marriage is really unethical, unethical! ”

No matter how humiliated the Zhang family was, Zhen Mi just lowered her head and kept silent. The Zhang family belittled her, and before she could get angry, she said to Zhen Yao: "It's useless for you to be a brother, and your sister who hasn't married yet, has a big belly like this, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhen Mi would refuse the Zhang family in such a way, Zhen Yao couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and replied stubbornly: "Yao has no way to discipline him, I'm really ashamed!" ”

"Unmarried and pregnant, which wild seed is your sister pregnant?" The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more angry she became, and she crossed her hands on her waist and questioned the Zhen brothers and sisters. (To be continued......)
