Eighteen years later, one morning, on Chang'an Avenue.

Chen Taishou was summoned to Beijing to take up a post, Chen Taishou and Mrs. Chen were in a carriage in front, while Hui Niang and her personal maid Xiaocui were sitting in a carriage in the back.

Xiaocui was very excited to sit in the carriage, lifted the curtains, looked outside, and said hurriedly: "Miss, look outside, it's so lively, there are really a lot of people, it's much more lively than Taiyuan."

Hui Niang was a little absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something, Xiao Cui saw that Hui Niang didn't answer, turned around, and wondered, "Miss, what are you thinking?"

Hui Niang said to herself, "What do you think he looks like?"

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Miss, who is that person you are talking about?"

Hui Niang said angrily: "Okay, you Xiaocui, you know what I asked, see if I don't beat you." Ready to fight.

Xiao Cui hurriedly said: "Miss, don't fight, Xiao Cui doesn't dare, I know you're talking about the future uncle, Zhang Huiren, the son of the old man's righteous brother, isn't it?"

Hui Niang said angrily, "You still say?"

Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "Didn't you ask me to say it, Miss?"

Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Flim tongue, ignore you."

Xiao Cui thought for a moment and said with a smile: "But ah, miss, I don't think you should think so much, as for my uncle, is he a handsome man?" Or is it ugly? Won't we know when we get there? Even if you try to break your head now, it's useless."

Hui Niang pondered, "That's what he said...... But...... What if it's ugly? Or he already has someone he likes, so what should I do?"

Xiao Cui persuaded: "If this is the case, then let the master return the family affairs, Miss, you are so beautiful, you must find a handsome uncle to be worthy."

Hui Niang was surprised: "This ...... That's not good, let alone daddy...... He won't say yes......

At this time, I saw a gust of wind blowing in, and the white handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms that Hui Niang put on her lap blew out of the window.

Hui Niang hurriedly said: "My handkerchief ......" hurriedly reached out to grab it, but did not catch it, hurriedly stretched out her head to look, but saw the handkerchief blowing backwards with the wind, floating all the way, facing a young general wearing armor, riding a tall horse, and patrolling with a team of officers and soldiers in the distance, and flew away on the face, startled.

The general grabbed the handkerchief floating over with one hand, raised his eyes to look in the direction where the handkerchief was blowing, collided with Hui Niang's eyes, and saw Hui Niang's pretty face, he was shocked, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, and he was stunned on the horse.

When Hui Niang saw the young general, she suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, her heart was pounding, and when she saw the young general looking at her blankly, she was startled, and hurriedly shrank back, panicking.

Xiao Cui was puzzled, "Miss, where is your handkerchief?" Hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw the young general holding the handkerchief in a daze, he was stunned for a moment, and then retracted back and said with a smile, "Miss, look, he has caught up."

Hui Niang was surprised, "Huh?" Hurriedly stretched out his head to look, but there was no one, and suddenly realized that he had been deceived, and hurriedly retracted and said, "Xiaocui, dare to make fun of me."

Xiao Cui smiled: "Miss spare your life, Xiao Cui won't dare in the future."

Hui Niang chirped, "Is there a future?"

Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "No, no, I promise it's gone...... But, Miss, don't blame Xiaocui for being so talkative, how handsome people are, it has nothing to do with you, you are married to Zhang Gongzi, and I heard the master say that one of the purposes of entering Beijing this time is to get your family affairs done as soon as possible."

Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, and said gloomily, "Yes, what else do I want to do so much? I'm about to marry the Zhang family." Forced smiled, "Don't worry, I won't think about it."

Xiao Cui comforted, "Miss, don't think so much, maybe this Zhang Gongzi is a hundred times more handsome than this general, or...... Or maybe that Zhang Gongzi is the general...... Ah, I'm sorry, miss, I've talked too much again, I should have hit, I should have hit, this foul mouth."

Hui Niang shook her head and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I believe that God will not make such a big joke on me." But he thought in his heart, "Is he Zhang Gongzi? How could there be such a coincidence in the world? I still don't think about it so much."

（M.. COM）

The carriage slowly moved forward with the flow of people, and in the crowd behind, the young general looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared in a daze.

Ban Xiang came back to his senses, picked up the handkerchief in his hand, smelled it gently, felt a refreshing fragrance, gently opened the handkerchief to see, but saw a peach blossom embroidered on it, and the word "Hui" embroidered next to it, and said in surprise: "Hui ......"

At noon, the General's Mansion in Chang'an City.

Zhang Shigui and his wife Cuihua stood at the gate of the mansion to greet Chen Taishou and his wife and Huiniang, watching the three carriages on the street slowly coming, Cuihua was pleasantly surprised: "Look, it must be the eldest brother and sister-in-law and Huiniang."

Zhang Shigui nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go down to greet you." As he spoke, he took Cuihua's hand and walked down the steps.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the door, Chen Taishou took Mrs. Chen's hand and walked out of the carriage, Zhang Shigui and Cuihua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, you are finally here."

Chen Taishou said happily, "Virtuous brother."

Mrs. Chen also said happily, "Cuihua."

Zhang Shigui hurriedly said: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for eighteen years, but you are as beautiful as ever."

Chen Taishou smiled, "Hey, still the same style? Don't make fun of me, I'm old, I'm old, I can't imagine that our two brothers would not see each other until eighteen years later, I really can't imagine it."

Zhang Shigui said: "Yes, but fortunately, now that you have been called to Beijing to take up a post, the two of us brothers can meet often in the future."

Chen Taishou nodded and said, "Not bad."

Cuihua hurriedly said, "Hey, where is Hui Niang?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, "She, the car in the back."

Zhang Shigui and Cuihua hurriedly looked back, but saw a carriage slowly stop, and a maidservant girl helped a woman who looked like a young lady to get out of the car.

Cuihua was pleasantly surprised: "She is Hui Niang?"

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "Qualified to be your daughter-in-law, right?"

Cuihua was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Enough, it's so beautiful, this is ......."

At this time, Hui Niang came over with Xiao Cui, bowed to Zhang Shigui and Cui Hua, and said, "Hui Niang has seen Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Shigui said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect Hui Niang to grow so big."

Cuihua grabbed Hui Niang and said, "This is Hui Niang, oops, I haven't seen you for so many years, and she has grown into a beauty."

Hui Niang said shyly, "Aunt Zhang......"

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Cuihua, don't praise her, if you praise her again, she will fly."

Cuihua smiled: "Where is it praised, it is originally, ouch, this Hui Niang is so beautiful...... Come, Hui Niang, big brother and sister-in-law, let's go in and talk." As he spoke, he took Hui Niang and Mrs. Chen's hands and walked inside.

When everyone walked into the mansion, Mrs. Chen was puzzled, "Shigui, what about Huiren, why don't you see others?"

Zhang Shigui explained: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted him to be here to greet him, but he went out on official business temporarily, and at this time, he should be back soon."

Chen Taishou nodded and said, "Well, what is Hui Ren's position now? I heard you say that he also led the troops?"

Zhang Shigui nodded and said, "He, he's been wandering around outside all day, and now he's just a Zhijinwu."

Chen Taishou was surprised: "Holding Jinwu? At a young age, he was so trusted by the emperor to take charge of the northern army and take on the heavy responsibility of defending the capital, and this son is also an extraordinary person."

Zhang Shigui said modestly: "Big brother, you are smiling, don't look at his age, but he is still naughty, you will know when he comes back."

Chen Taishou smiled, "Hey, I'm really looking forward to meeting this future son-in-law."

Huiniang listened to Cuihua's nagging, but she paid attention to the conversation between her father and Zhang Shigui, and when she heard this, she relaxed her heart a little, and said in her heart: "In this way, it seems that he should not be a prodigal child...... It's just that I don't know what he looks like? Shouldn't he be as fierce as his father?" (Note: Zhang Shigui does look a little rough) can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

At noon, outside the gate of the General's Mansion in Chang'an City.

The young general (Zhang Huiren) rode from the street

（M.. COM）

Run, run to the gate of the house and jump off the horse.

The little guy guarding the door hurriedly ran over to take the reins and said, "Childe is back?"

Hui Ren nodded, "Hmm!" Seeing two carriages parked at the door, and the subordinate was carrying boxes of things from the carriage, and the carriage seemed to be very familiar, he wondered, "Hey, whose two carriages belong to?"

The little servant hurriedly said, "Hui Gongzi, it is the master's sworn brother Chen."

Hui Ren wondered, "Big brother? Lord Chen? Could it be the big brother who my father and mother said and ordered a baby kiss with me?" After thinking about it, he hurriedly walked to the door of the house.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shigui and Mr. and Mrs. Chen Taishou sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting, and Hui Niang sat beside them.

Zhang Shigui said cautiously: "Big brother, you have a hard journey, you will stay here today, wait for you to report, find a mansion and make plans, or you can live here all the time, anyway, we are almost in-laws, so we can have a word."

Mrs. Chen said: "Brother Shigui Meiyi has received it, but when it comes to disturbing, it must be disturbed for a few days, as for staying for a long time, it is absolutely unacceptable, and when we settle down, we will move out."

Zhang Shigui said, "Why not? We're almost in-laws, so what are we going to share with each other?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Hey, the in-laws return to the in-laws, but the etiquette still has to be observed, madam, don't you say?"

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Shigui, we know your good intentions, so don't embarrass your eldest brother."

Zhang Shigui thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, but big brother, this time, you have to stay here for a few more days."

Chen Taishou smiled, "Don't worry, it must be." ……

Over there, Cuihua and Huiniang sat together, Cuihua held Huiniang's hand and whispered, the two of them were smiling and very harmonious.

Cuihua asked, "Hui Niang, what is your favorite food?" Tell me, and I'll let someone do it for you."

Hui Niang lowered her head and smiled, and excused herself: "Don't worry about Auntie, you can do anything."

Cuihua hurriedly said, "How can this be done? It's not good if you don't like it when you come to our house for the first time." Seeing that Hui Niang was shy, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, then I'll let my subordinates make some delicate side dishes, hey, by the way, Hui Niang, what do you usually do at home?"

Hui Niang thought for a moment and thought, "Usually? I learned some needlework and embroidery from my mother, and I learned to write and draw from my father."

Cuihua was surprised, "Huh? There will be so many, it must be the true inheritance of your father, right?"

Hui Niang smiled: "Daddy, they have great skills, I only learned one or two percent."

Cuihua was surprised, "Really? Alas, it's a pity that your aunt and I, I don't know anything about what you said, but I know a little bit about dancing knives and sticks, so it's better for you to teach me in the future, and my aunt wants to learn too."

Hui Niang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Hui Niang is only a shallow learner, how dare you do that...... Hui Niang should learn more from you, Auntie."

Cuihua looked at Hui Niang and said, "Hui Niang is so gentle and beautiful, and she has the true inheritance of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, she knows books and etiquette, the key is that she is still so modest, it is really rare, if Hui Ren really marries Hui Niang as her daughter-in-law, it will be really good......" smiled, "Hui Niang, you still call me Auntie, after a while, you should change your name to Niang."

Hui Niang was startled, came back to her senses, and lowered her head in shame, Cuihua looked at Hui Niang, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Over there, Mrs. Chen said to Zhang Shigui: "Shigui, look, Hui Niang hasn't passed the door yet, your family Cuihua and Hui Niang have talked so well, aren't you afraid that your son will be jealous in the future?"

Zhang Shigui was stunned for a moment, understood, and laughed: "Where is it, how can it be? Doesn't this just show that our two families are really very fateful? Big brother, did you say?"

Chen Taishou nodded and said, "Shigui is right, what he said."

At this time, "Father, mother, the child is back......" A loud voice came from outside, everyone

Startled, he hurriedly looked at the door.

I saw Hui Ren running in from outside and shouting, "Dad, mother...... Ah......" When he looked at Cuihua, he happened to meet the gaze of Hui Niang who was sitting beside him, and the two of them were shocked and stunned.
