Chapter 184: The General's Fiancée
"What? You are General Wei's fiancée! ”
Lin Jiaruo was originally holding Lin Shisheng's hand so that the doctor could take medicine, but when she heard the news, she was so shocked that she almost threw her father's hand.
"Be careful!" Pei Jinyu screamed, and only then did she save Lin Jiaruo's reason.
Lin Jiaruo hurriedly re-picked it up, turned his head to stare at Pei Jinyu, and asked, "Really?" Are you really General Wei's fiancée? When did you get married? Why doesn't anyone know? When did you get married? Can I go to the ceremony? ”
Just casually asked why Pei Jinyu appeared here, Pei Jinyu replied that she followed Pei Xiang to the city gate to meet General Wei, and sent it to the palace gate.
Lin Jiaruo was envious that she could greet General Wei in person, so she had to give such a thrilling answer.
Lin Shisheng said with a smile: "You have asked so many questions, which one is better for Miss Pei to answer you first?" ”
Pei Jinyu smiled, his eyes still fell on Lin Shisheng's hand, and said softly: "When General Wei's father was still serving in Beijing, the two families got married, and later the Wei family went to Jiangnan, but the marriage contract has always been there."
"Originally, the two families planned to get married the year before last, but when they encountered the Northwest Rebellion, General Wei happened to be transferred to quell the rebellion, and it was delayed until this year.
She smiled suddenly, and her smile was a little desolate: "It's always been a few months, I'm going to get married" The voice gradually lowered, hovering low, as if there was unfinished meaning.
Lin Shisheng's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look at her, her gentle gaze still fell on his hand, and the moment he saw it, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be unstable for a moment.
For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart: The plum blossoms are like snow, and he is still full.
Lin Jiaruo didn't notice anything unusual at all, and said with great interest: "It turns out that General Wei already has such a good fiancée as Sister Pei, I thought that General Wei had made such a great contribution, and the emperor would want to marry the princess to him."
The next day, Lin Jiaruo knew that what he thought was true
"The emperor really wants to marry the princess to General Wei!" Lin Jiaruo felt that he could go to the stall to tell the fortunes.
Lin Jialan knocked a melon seed in a reserved and elegant manner, but her tone was a little anxious urging: "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?" ”
After arriving in the capital, there was no need to go to school, and the sisters were idle all of a sudden, and they could only get together often to chat.
Lin Xiuzhi and Lin Pingzhi have not yet decided on a place to continue studying, but they are boys and can come and go freely.
So eleven-year-old Lin Pingzhi developed a new hobby: listening to books.
The storytellers in the capital talk about the freshest current affairs.
Recently, the freshest things in the capital are all related to General Wei Mu.
So, early this morning, Lin Pingzhi was sent out and came back in the afternoon to hand over the errand.
"Yesterday, after General Wei entered the main hall, the emperor rewarded all the meritorious generals who entered Beijing this time, and finally it was General Wei's turn to reward him, and after the reward, the emperor said"
He paused slightly, straightened his face, and pretended to be a deep adult voice: "Aiqing has been fighting for many years, loyal to the country, I don't want to miss the good time, I am very ashamed, it is better to take advantage of this happy day to have a double happiness!" Just put it on the spot."
After another pause, he continued: "Before the emperor finished speaking, General Wei hurriedly bowed and said, thank Your Majesty for your love, the minister has already had a marriage contract, and he has the courage to ask His Majesty for a marriage will, and allow the minister to stay in the capital for a few more months, so that he can choose a day to complete the marriage!" ”
"Is the emperor approved?" Lin Jialan asked.
Lin Pingzhi said solemnly: "The emperor is not so quick to play the emperor After listening to General Wei's words, he asked with a smile, I don't know which noble girl Aiqing is ordering?" ”
"Which one?" Lin Jiazhi couldn't help but ask.
Lin Jiaruo saw that his sisters were waiting for an answer, but Lin Pingzhi was still selling Guan Zi with a serious face: "The emperor asked General Wei, General Kewei"
"It's the seventh girl of Pei Xiang's family!" Lin Jiaruo impatiently revealed the mystery.
Lin Pingzhi's serious expression fell, and he looked at her sadly.
Lin Jiaruo couldn't care about appeasing his emotions, and she also had something to ask: "Isn't the emperor the princess Yiyang who originally wanted to give General Wei a marriage?" ”
Lin Pingzhi nodded reluctantly and said, "Although I didn't say it, there is only one princess of the right age in the palace." ”
"Could it be that Princess Yiyang left the palace yesterday because of General Wei's refusal to marry?" Lin Jiaruo felt that she had touched the terrible truth.
"What happened yesterday?" Lin Pingzhi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly asked.
Lin Jiaruo told him what happened on the street yesterday, and showed a sad face: "General Wei rejected Princess Yiyang for Sister Pei, will Princess Yiyang be annoyed and angry?" The princesses of the capital are not very reasonable."
Last time, Princess Sucheng, who wanted to destroy Zijun's cousin's marriage, seems to be Princess Yiyang's sister-in-law.
No matter how sad Lin Jiaruo was, this marriage was done lively.
One is a young general who has made great achievements and returned from victory, and the other is a first-class noble girl in the capital, and there is a marriage decree, as well as a reward like flowing water in the palace, it is impossible for this wedding to be low-key.
The wedding date was set for May 15.
Although the day is a bit urgent, fortunately, the two families have been prepared.
I was afraid that Wei Mu would not be able to stay too long when he returned to Beijing, so he estimated the date early and sent out the wedding post.
By mid-April, the close relatives of the Wei family had arrived one after another, and of course, the Gan family was indispensable.
So Gan Mingcong went down the mountain again.
When Gan Mingcong came to Lin Jiaruo, he had a kite in his hand.
"I made it myself, I drew it with my own hands, how about it? It's not in vain that I've been learning to paint for so many years, right? Gan Mingcong proudly showed the kite to Lin Jiaruo.
He still prefers black butterflies as always, but Lin Jiaruo is much more reserved than back then: "Well, it's okay, that's right!" You have black butterflies, I have red butterflies, we can fly kites together! Lin Jiaruo hurriedly said.
Gan Mingcong was a little overwhelmed: "I want to give it to you"
"We have two butterflies, one black and one red, flying together, how beautiful it is! Isn't it? Lin Jiaruo hurriedly said.
Gan Mingcong thought about it and nodded happily.
Lin Jiaruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two children were going to fly kites in the suburbs of Beijing, Xu Jiaoning was originally going to object, but Gan Mingcong stood in front of her heroically, and she changed her mind: "Take your master and swallows, and come back before dark!" ”
The carriage drove to the foot of Yuquan Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was already noon, so the maids and servants laid out the food they brought, ready to play when they were full.
There is a large area of fragrant grassland at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, which is the favorite place of the people of the capital to enjoy spring and autumn, and there are not a few people who sit on the ground like them and prepare for a picnic at this time.
But I don't know why, someone specifically picked them to bother.
"Why did two children come out together? What about your family? ”
