Chapter 599: Own Destiny

"The Kou family is a family of generals, but when General Kou was alive, the Kou family was only average in Beijing, and it did not have the momentum it has now.

Later, General Kou Lao died in battle, and the Kou family fell in an instant, and in less than three or five years, no one in Beijing remembered.

Many more years passed like this, until his only son, Kou Changqing, made military achievements......"

Hearing this, Ji Yu interrupted.

"I heard that he joined the army at the age of thirteen, was that year when he made military achievements?"

Jing Mingzhu thought about it carefully and shook her head.

"General Kou is indeed the army of the Thirteen Servants, but what year did he make military merits...... It's hard to say, but I also occasionally hear my brother mention it.

He has made countless military exploits, but what really made him famous was the recovery of the seven states of Liaodong at the age of nineteen.

The first emperor was happy, named him General Shenwu, and gave the general's mansion, even the door plaque of the general's mansion was written by the first emperor himself.

Since then, the Kou family, which has been silent for many years, has officially risen, returning to everyone's attention, and the scenery is even better than in the past. ”

Ji Yu held her cheeks thoughtfully.

But what does this have to do with his late marriage? Because you're fighting everywhere and don't have time? ”

The question is so, but Ji Yu knows in her heart that it is impossible.

The ancients paid attention to unfilial piety, especially the special profession of soldiers, and the merits and glory were exchanged for their lives.

In this case, it is common to marry a wife early and have children early, in the hope that if something happens, at least a stick of incense will be left.

Even if I don't want to marry early, my family won't agree. Even if you are really busy and don't have time to get married, you can still find time to smoke.

There must be another reason.

"Of course not."

Sure enough, Jing Mingzhu denied her words.

"Became famous at a young age, a young general, I don't know how many people in Beijing want to marry him, but they are all rejected by Mrs. Kou."

"Why is that?"

It turned out that the parents stopped and disagreed, which is very puzzling.

Is it too far-sighted, or is it extraordinarily open-minded, so open-minded that it doesn't care if there are children and grandchildren?

"Didn't I just tell you that the Kou family is barely a family of Jiangmen? Do you think, how much blood debt do you have to bear on the battlefield all year round? After such a generation, the yin qi is already extremely heavy, plus ......"

Jing Mingzhu paused, seeming to hesitate.

But at this point, there is no reason to say half of the truth, so I can only continue.

"General Kou once went on an expedition against Sidi, and before he went, Sidi had slaughtered a city on our border, and the people in the city were ......."

She couldn't bear to say any more, and Ji Yu already knew it.

"General Kou put on armor and went into battle, and after fighting for half a year, it seems that in the end, defeat turned into victory, and he is the same as Xidi......"

"Is it General Kou's order?"

"General Kou Lao was only a forward general at that time, not the commander, whether he gave the order is unknown, but it was indeed the city he led his troops to attack that night, and the situation at that time was out of control......"

Ji Yu listened and was silent for a long time.

Whether it is the order given by General Kou or the soldiers who kill the red eyes, the final result is the same, and there is no way to judge whether this matter is right or wrong.

In front of Xidi slaughtering the city, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought back with grief and indignation, and if they didn't return a tooth for a tooth, how could they sacrifice the souls of the dead in the city? How can this hatred of the country be eliminated?

Although the battle was won, the court argued endlessly, and in the end, General Kou Lao did not return to Beijing to receive a reward, but was sent to the border pass to garrison...... It was also after this time that some people said that General Kou Lao killed too much, which will definitely damage future generations......"

Ji Yu was a little speechless: "Do you believe it?" ”

"I don't know if I should believe ...... or not," Jing Mingzhu was a little confused.

After that, three years later, General Kou died in battle, and Mrs. Kou was stationed at the border with her husband, and it was less than a year and a half before she gave birth.

Their son was fine, and he became a great general.

From this point of view, it was General Kou himself who was damaged, and it did not affect his descendants.

But Mrs. Kou was widowed first, and her son was all she had, and she was convinced of this, looking for a way to solve it.

Later, she really found ......"

Ji Yu asked tentatively: "Isn't the way to crack it be to marry later?" ”

"That's right. A high-ranking monk gave him guidance and said that he should not start a family before the age of twenty-five, otherwise there would be disaster...... Look at your expression, don't seem to believe it? ”

Ji Yu couldn't tell her directly that feudal superstition was not credible, so she had to be vague.

"I just think that this monk doesn't know whether he is reliable or not, and he will kill others for half his life with a casual sentence. Fortunately, he is twenty-five years old, and if he says that he cannot start a family before the age of eighty, won't he delay his family for a lifetime? That's what the plague is. ”

"Eighty?" Jing Mingzhu made a frightened expression, "Then it's better to become a monk." ”

"It seems that the monk still has a bit of a conscience, at least he only lets people beat him for twenty-five years."

After talking for a long time, her throat was a little dry, and Ji Yu took a sip of the teacup.

"Actually, it can't be regarded as a single." Jing Mingzhu winked at her, "Although you can't start a family before the age of twenty-five, you still have a room." ”

The sip of tea that Ji Yu had just drunk squirted out.

Fortunately, she subconsciously turned her head and didn't get Jing Mingzhu.

Jing Mingzhu saw that she was choking and coughing, and reached out to pat her for her, but she stopped her.

"You just said that Guan and Kou Changqing have a room?"

"Naturally, there is...... Is there anything wrong with that? ”

Jing Mingzhu looked at her in shock, and thought that she didn't understand what the room meant.

"Children of all families, from the age of teens, will be equipped with a roommate, who is responsible for the master's food, clothing, and daily life, as well as ......"

Jing Mingzhu paused, her face a little red.

"Hmm...... That's the ......."

Ji Yu naturally understood which one it was.

The fire that had been suppressed in my heart for many days rose up.

She confirmed again and again - is there a wife? Do you have a fiancée? Do you have a sweetheart?

The answers I got were all no, and I never lied about what I said.

Is it not a wife, a fiancée, or a sweetheart, so it is not a lie?

So she's always a person, right? And it is an existence that cannot be erased between husband and wife.

At least it can't be erased here in Ji Yu.

She can allow her man to have the past tense, but she must not tolerate him having the present continuous tense and will continue to do so.

A fiancée popped up in the flatland, and then another room popped up......

The three words of fiancée are like a basin of cold water poured on Ji Yu's head.

yes, what's she angry about?

If she comes first and comes, she is the one who came out of thin air, and anger doesn't seem to be her turn.

Ji Yu slowly calmed down and asked, "General Kou's fiancée, don't you care?" ”

"Ordinary people will have it, not to mention General Kou's age......" Jing Mingzhu skipped those embarrassing words and said, "Hua Rui also knows, she doesn't care much." In fact, it's not a big deal, if it's a sensible person, it's a big deal to give a concubine, if it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, marry and send it away. ”

Ji Yu knew that Jing Mingzhu's attitude was normal for the moment.

But she couldn't do it, and she couldn't accept it.

"Miss Zheng is generous, and she is a good match with General Kou."

Jing Mingzhu didn't notice her strange appearance, but she agreed with what she said.

"I also think that there is a destiny in the dark, if it weren't for the words of the senior monk, General Kou would have become a family early, how could Hua Rui still marry him as he wished? You say, don't you? ”

Ji Yu smiled slightly: "That's true." ”
