Wen Yi was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Grandmother is talking about the tenth sister's family affairs?" It's not difficult, I'll ask my father-in-law to see which of the little generals he knows has not yet married, and send the letter to the second aunt in two days, and it's over. ”

Old Madam Lu blinked, revealing a little surprise: "So, you don't plan to help?" I see that you have always been close to the ten girls, and you will do your best to choose a good family for her. ”

Wen Yi smiled helplessly: "I naturally hope that my tenth sister can marry into a good family, but it's just ......" She hesitated, but she didn't know what to say.

Old Madam Lu guessed a little bit of her thoughts, so she said, "You just have to tell your thoughts, what is there to hide from your grandmother?" There was no one else in the house. ”

Wen Yi sat close to her and said in a low voice, "Grandmother thinks...... The second uncle and the second aunt were in the marriage of the tenth sister...... What is the attitude? ”

Old Madam Lu frowned and shook her head: "I can't say it well, your second aunt is a clever person, and she has rules and regulations for doing things, listening to her tone at the time, she must just want to find a little general with a good future, with an average family background, as long as she can be worthy of your tenth sister." The immediate scenery is not important, the important thing is to be optimistic about the future prospects. After all, with your tenth sister's background, it is too difficult to marry directly into a prominent family. Although she is now favored, she is not seriously raised under her mother's knees, and her biological mother is a girl, but anyone who has a little foundation will be disgusted. Your second uncle has no official position. Your fifth sister is a descendant, and being able to marry into the Liu family is already a blessing for the two families, let alone ten girls? ”

Wen Yi nodded: "That's true, if the marriage was made before the expedition, it would be another story, but now...... The battle is over, the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions and come back safely, everyone knows that the future is optimistic, if the family background is good and has not married a wife, there are many families who come to the door to propose, and the odds of the tenth sister are really not high, so why send them to others to be picked? If it doesn't work out, you'll end up gossiping. It's better to find those who have a mediocre family background, and they have a good future, and with the name of the daughter of the Shilang Mansion, the chance of success is greater. ”

Old Madam Lu sneered: "It's not surprising that your second aunt would think like this, but your second uncle may not think so." In the past few months in Beijing, in order to find an official job, he jumped up and down, met left and right, and made friends with a lot of officials from various ministries, and there were entertainment at both ends in three days. I also asked your second aunt just now, why didn't you seem to hear him in the house? Even if your eldest uncle is not at home, it has not reached the point where only one Ange'er can come forward to greet guests. As a result, she was embarrassed for a long time, and then she told me, your second uncle had a banquet with a few new friends yesterday, and he drank too much for a while, and when we went, he couldn't get up in the room. What day is it? is serious about the Double Ninth Festival, and he doesn't know that there is a banquet in the Shilang's mansion, and he doesn't know how serious he is to drink with the so-called new friends, which shows how eager his heart to be an official is. ”

Wen Yi said: "I think so too. Although the second aunt said humbly, but the marriage of the tenth sister still needs the second uncle to nod, I am kind enough to find a wishful husband for the tenth sister, if her parents are not satisfied, but ask for a lot, am I thankless? Therefore, I would rather not help with this favor with the second aunt, the tenth sister should not marry too badly, if the family I find in the end is really not good, it will not be too late for me to speak. ”

Old Madam Lu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, you are married now, and you are the head of the house, so you have your own ideas." Grandmother doesn't have to do anything for you, just ...... In the end, it is your mother's family, among your sisters, and dozens of girls are the closest to you, it is rare that she is a person who has no scheming, if you can help, just help. If a woman is married outside and is far away from her mother's family, if she can have a sister who is really good as her arm, she can also help each other in case of trouble, which is much stronger than holding on alone. Now that you are married in the capital, your fifth sister is unreliable, and your uncle and mother-in-law are even more unreliable. ”

Wen Yi was stunned, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. My grandmother married Pingyang alone, although she sang with her grandfather Qin Se, but she was far away from her parents' relatives, and she was afraid that it was not comfortable, right? Especially when her father was young, her grandfather died, and she took her father back to her hometown in Pingyang to live in widowhood, and she was bullied by the Gu clan. If there were members of the Lu family near Pingyang, or relatives close to her, maybe the situation would be different, and there would be people who supported her......

Grandmother was thinking about her, Wen Yi thought about it carefully, and felt that she could help Wen Juan's family affairs in secret, as long as she was careful not to ask her second uncle to get entangled, so that this cousin would have to marry a lover. Although Wen Juan did not have any friendship with her in her previous life, she has been together for a few years in this life, and Wen Juan is the closest to her among the sisters.

After making up her mind, Wen Yi smiled at Old Madam Lu and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, your granddaughter will pay attention to it." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, said a few more homely words to her, and then sent her away, saying, "How many days have you little husband and wife been together?" It's good to go back to the house and talk together. ”

Wen Yi blushed slightly, and wanted to say that she was going out to the east, but she heard the girls outside shouting, "Uncle is back", hurriedly said goodbye to her grandmother, turned around and went out to greet her.

Mrs. Lu looked at her granddaughter and grandson-in-law talking affectionately outside the window, and her face showed joy. Mama Zhao walked in from outside with a cup of hot ginseng tea, and said with a smile: "The old lady should be relieved now, right?" Miss and Uncle are intimate, it won't be long before you have to hug your grandson" After that, he handed over the ginseng tea: "Take a sip, you are old, what kind of wine do you drink?" The eldest lady is too, knowing that there is an old man at the banquet, and she still picks such wine. ”

Old Madam Lu glanced at her, reached out and took two sips of tea before saying, "What's that wine?" However, it is slightly stronger than the self-brewed fruit wine on our Zhuangzi, but you are too careful. He turned his gaze back to the window, and saw that Wen Yi and Dongxing had already gone back to the main house hand in hand, so he smiled and said: "I have nothing to worry about now, I just hope that their little couple is loving and harmonious, and Dongxing will be smooth and safe outside." At this point, she smiled again: "Have you ever heard anyone talk about something?" Do people who go out to buy every day hear gossip about the eastward journey? ”

Mama Zhao didn't go to Shilang's Mansion today, and she didn't know the reason, so she listened very sullenly: "Who said my uncle's gossip?" People outside are boasting, this time in the Northern Xinjiang War, there are several young generals who have made military achievements, among which in addition to the previous highly praised General Xiaofu, our grandson General Xiaoliu is the most famous, I went to Li's house to send a festival gift, and I heard that his family is also talking about this, saying that even the generals in the forbidden army are very appreciative of our uncle. I listened to the good words of people there, not to mention how long the face was."

Old Madam Lu was amused when she heard it, and glared at her: "You know how to make me happy" After thinking about it, she felt that the so-called rumors were very likely to be just from the Bachelor's Mansion itself. She pursed her lips and said to Mama Zhao: "In the future, if you send someone from the Bachelor's Mansion to give any gifts, don't accept this kind of affection, rather not." There is no shortage of relatives in our family."

Mama Zhao responded, but her heart became more and more depressed, her eyes rolled, and she decided to turn back and ask Wen Yi for an understanding.

Wen Yi listened to Mama Zhao's words, and knew it in her heart, so she smiled and said: "It's nothing, I met the fifth sister in Shilang's Mansion today, and when I said that someone outside criticized the prime minister for killing the enemy, he was too ruthless, but some people were jealous, and it was also possible that the second uncle's opponent was afraid that the second uncle would rely on the public to get benefits, so he deliberately arranged it, and it couldn't become any climate." Mama just didn't hear it. ”

Mama Zhao slapped her thigh loudly: "I know that Aunt Liu and Mrs. Sangu have always looked at Aunt Sun unpleasantly, don't look at them now with a smile on their faces, as if they are very close, they must be a bad taste in my heart." The nephew has a chance, and the uncle and aunt are not happy for the younger generations, but they are still there to spread rumors and hurt people, which is really despised by people, I have to tell the big guy about this, if I really meet someone who spreads this kind of thing, I will definitely scold him for being a bloody dog" She turned around angrily and left. Wen Yi was startled, but she was worried that she was too old and would hurt her body if she was too angry, so she hurriedly called a little girl to follow and wait.

Back in the room, Liu Dongxing washed his hands and laughed non-stop: "Your grandma is really a cool person." ”

Wen Yi glanced at him with disgust and threw the hand towel over: "You don't laugh at people anymore." Mama is anxious about me. ”

"I know." Liu Dongxing wiped his hands, threw them away, came up and hugged Wen Yi and said, "I'm really happy for you, there is such an old man who really cares for you." ”

Wen Yi smiled and said: "You also have a grandmother who really cares for you, and I am really happy for you." Suddenly, I heard the footsteps of Qiu Guo lifting the curtain and entering the door, so he hurriedly broke away from him and walked to the dressing table to fix the hairpin on his head.

Liu Dongxing watched Qiuguo come in and pack up the basin and hand towel, and went out again, so he said a little boringly: "Be careful, be close to me in your own home, you are all twisting and pinching, I am afraid that people will see it." ”

Wen Yi glanced at him in the mirror, and looked left and right: "You went to the Zhu family just now?" Lord Zhu is at home today? ”

"It's a holiday, so naturally I'm at home." Liu Dongxing said a little casually, "I've dealt with him before, but I'm not familiar with him, so I chatted casually." ”

"His family may be familiar with Luo's family, I don't know if Brother Luo has been gone for two months, what's going on now?"

Liu Dongxing paused: "Yes, I don't know?" Let's hope he'll come back soon. "I played with the orchid leaves on the flower table under the window.

Wen Yi paused in his hand, and looked back at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?" But with the news of Brother Luo? "If it were on weekdays, when it was Luo Mingmin, he would never show such a cold attitude.

"Nope." Liu Dongxing said with a smile, "How can their yamen's rules leak the news of their own people so easily?" But I've heard Brother Luo mention that if you live like this, no news is good news, at least it means that people are safe. He is not a nobody, if he really encounters any danger, the Luo family will already have news. ”

Wen Yi thought about it, so she didn't think about it anymore, and said with a smile: "You haven't answered me about the incident I mentioned to you just now." How many of your comrades do you know are not married? ”

"What is this...... Liu Dongxing thought for a while, "Actually, there are a lot of young people, but there are not many who are not married." Most people will not let their sons run to the battlefield at a young age, and if they are in a military family, there is a custom of marrying their sons early. As far as I know, except for Fu Zhongyin and Fu Xiaowei, only Lian Feng and Yun Kexin are unmarried, Liang Guang and Du Chuyun, all of whom have already married and had children. ”

Among these people, Wen Yi had only heard of Fu Zhongyin's name, and hurriedly asked, "What is the family background of these people?" I've heard of General Fu. When he greeted his relatives last time, Fu Zhongyin was one of Liu Dongxing's companions.

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "If it is for the sake of your tenth sister, Brother Fu will not succeed, I heard the rumors, saying that my cousin fell in love with him and wanted him to be his son-in-law." ”

Wen Yi was stunned, and was immediately taken aback: "You mean the sister of the Li family?" But after thinking about it, I felt that this was a good family affair, "If it can really be done, it will be a pair made in heaven." ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "We also have this idea in private, but whether it succeeds or not depends on Brother Fu's own ability." ”

This is a little strange to say, Wen Yi wanted to ask, but Liu Dongxing looked mysterious: "You will know when the time comes, it is not interesting to say it now." ”

Wen Yi glanced at him depressedly, and muttered: "What's the big deal, you have to hide it from me......" and asked again: "Then do you say that among the remaining few people, is there a suitable match for the tenth sister?" I think it's best to be a person with an inconspicuous family background, and my own character should also be good, but I don't have to force any calmness, it is better to be straightforward. The tenth sister, if she is called a serious daughter-in-law, it is also difficult for her, if she is a straightforward person, it is better than a heavy heart. ”

Liu Dongxing thought for a while and said: "Lao Yun is an open-minded person, when he has nothing to do on weekdays, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, maybe it is more suitable for your sister, but he is the son of a family, and he is also related to the clan, his status is not low, and it is impossible for the family to let him marry a concubine as a wife." However, Lian Feng, although he is a son of a poor family, is a future earned by real practical life, he is excellent in martial arts, he is never soft when killing enemies, and his temper is straightforward, but he is not a reckless person, and he acts quite measured. ”

Wen Yi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Do you know his parents?" ”

"I heard that it is a person from Jiachuan, and there was a thousand presidents in the early years, but the family has been in decline for many years." Liu Dongxing said, "His parents died early, and there is only one concubine in the family who takes care of the housework, and it is said that she is a very honest woman. In addition, he only walked around with his aunt's family in Beijing, and his uncle was a distant relative of Mrs. Dongyang Hou's mother's family, and he was a member of the official residence and military department, which was also somewhat decent. ”

Wen Yi was secretly happy in her heart, if she was like this, maybe she would be able to make the second uncle nod? However, before returning to the second aunt Duan, I had to inquire about the temperament of this Xiaolian general first.

Just when Wen Yi was busy inquiring about the family history of the general Xiaolian, the imperial court's will to reward Liu Dongxing was finally settled. He was promoted one level and was appointed as the general of Xuanwu from Sipin, transferred from the Jingnan battalion, and reappointed as the general of the Kangnan garrison, which he had to take up within three months.
