“Mom, after this plague, my son should return to Beijing to report on his work.”

"Mom, please come back to the capital with me." Vice General Zhu bought some food in the city and returned to the courtyard.

“Donngling is in turmoil now, I think it will be peaceful for a few years.” Vice General Zhu said.

The old lady sitting in the courtyard collecting insoles didn't even raise her eyes.

"What are you going to do when you go back? You will be laughed at when you go back... People in their thirties are not getting married. You are going to **** me off to death!"

"I don't have much hope for someone who has one foot in the coffin... I am a sinner of the Zhu family. I'm sorry to all the ancestors of the Zhu family. The blood of the Zhu family is about to be cut off in my hands. Oh, I'm afraid my mother won't live long. Years old. This body is getting worse every day." The old lady was sick and had very low energy and energy.

“Mom, please find a marriage for your son.”

 The old lady who wants to live or die...

He sat up suddenly, his eyes blazing with fire: "Marriage?!"

Vice General Zhu said bitterly: "Looking for a good girl to help me make some pairs of socks! Forget it, let's embroider a purse!"

The old lady threw away the soles of her shoes, her face full of ecstasy, and she didn't look like she was sick and dying just now.

 “Okay, okay! Look, look, look, look!” The old lady knelt down with a bang. Bodhisattva bless her!

“How come you suddenly figured it out?” The old lady came back to her senses and looked at him suspiciously.

 Vice General Zhu felt choked in his heart.

 He is not that grandson of Rong Che, that calf.

"Excuse me, mother, please look for it for me. This is my son's salary and my savings over the years... I will give the rest to my future wife." Vice General Zhu nodded and left two coins to buy wine.

"Your savings are gone. You have put off getting married for so many years, and your mother has already saved them all. I will give them to your daughter-in-law when she comes over."

“Mom, with her body and bones, can live for another thirty years, and she will definitely be able to bring up your grandson!” The old lady who just looked like she wanted to buy a coffin is now beaming with joy and full of energy.

 Vice General Zhu was tall and mighty, with a down-to-earth temperament and a good military record.

Huangcheng was often approached by people proposing marriage to him, but he resisted so much that it lasted for many years.

"You... why not consider Ronger?" The old lady sighed.

“Rong’er comes to accompany the old lady from time to time to relieve her boredom. Last time I was sick, it was Rong’er who nursed me back to health.”

 Vice General Zhu looked slightly dull.

“Mom, what are you talking about! I am thirty-seven this year, and Ronger is only twenty-three!” Ronger is the daughter of his comrade-in-arms.

Last time, Dongling attacked the deserted city at night, and Rong'er's parents died while defending the city. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter to him.



The old lady glanced at him and said, "Rong'er was seventeen when she came to our house. She had observed mourning for three years and was only twenty. Now that she is not married at twenty-three, who do you think she is waiting for?"

 Vice General Zhu remained silent.

"Mom, please don't mess with the rules! It will ruin Ronger's reputation and it will hinder her marriage in the future!" Vice General Zhu waved his hand.

"Am I messing up? You guard the city and often go home late at night. Every time you go home, no matter how late, are there lights at home? Are there warm meals on the table? Even the hot water for bathing and clothes have been put on early Put it on the bedside?"

The old lady rolled her eyes and looked at him disdainfully.

The old lady stepped on her feet and stabbed him in the head.

"Last time, you didn't want the mandarin duck sachet I gave you. You thought it was fragrant and unsafe on the battlefield. Ronger made it for you too..."

“You didn’t ask for it at first, but Ronger cried all night.”

"I originally thought that if you didn't want to, I would accept Ronger as my adopted daughter. But Ronger didn't want to... ugh." The old lady sighed, her stupid-headed son was not worthy.

"Think carefully! If you don't want to, I will find a husband for Ronger and marry her off gracefully. It would be a pity for me to marry a rough guy like you. Then I will find a scholar for Ronger. The scenery is bright and beautiful, I will be your wife." The old lady waved her hands and went out to prepare things for her return to Beijing.

 Vice General Zhu returned to the bedroom with his heart in confusion.

I don’t know since when, the quilt has a faint fragrance, and a bouquet of wild flowers is inserted by the window, bringing a touch of green to the room. He doesn't understand.

 The woman pushed open the door and entered.

Holding clean clothes in his hands, he looked up and saw Vice General Zhu standing in the room.

A touch of red rose unconsciously on his face.

His eyes were slightly averted and his eyebrows were lowered.

“Brother Xuan, why are you back?” The woman was very neatly dressed and stepped forward to put the clothes in the wardrobe.

Vice General Zhu blushed when he saw that she was still holding his own underwear in her hand.

He tried to grab it, but the woman smiled and said, "I always wash it."

The old lady of the Zhu family is illiterate, hard-working and frugal. She only has a few old servants in her family, and her life is simple and warm.

 Vice General Zhu opened his mouth when he heard her words.

“Your father entrusted you to me, not to be a slave!” Vice General Zhu blushed.

"Since I promised to support you, I will... take care of you well! Why didn't you go see the young talent I introduced to you last time?"

"I have inquired for you. His father and mother are both present at home, and he has opened two shops. He has land and shops. He is a scholar and has been admitted as a scholar. I asked someone to find connections and secretly read his articles. "

"The chance of passing the examination is very high. In the future, you will be the lady who will be promoted!" Vice General Zhu didn't understand scholars, so it took a lot of connections to find out.

“You don’t have to worry about marrying blindly and dumbly. You still have to take a look. Your parents entrusted you to me, and I will definitely take good care of you!”

He even divided the moon silver into two halves and left half of it for her as a dowry.

 Half is left for household expenses.

 “I don’t want to marry him…” Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Do you only have my parents' entrustment to me?" She bit her lip tightly, and a trace of blood spilled from her lips.

With tears in his eyes, he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

 Vice General Zhu took a step back suddenly.

"You...me, I am already in my thirties, a rough man who cannot read or write. You are literate, so you should marry a young man!"

"I have prepared a dowry for you and found you a reliable scholar so that you can live a good life in the future." Vice General Zhu did not dare to look at her.

 “Look at me!” the woman mustered up her courage and said in a concentrated voice.

 Vice General Zhu was startled.

 The woman took a deep breath, stood on tiptoes, and held his face in her hands.

 The woman's breath carried a faint fragrance, and her palms were warm, making Vice General Zhu's face turn red.

“Looking into my eyes, can’t you really feel my admiration? Do you really only have my parents’ entrustment to me?”

"That day, the deserted city was almost captured. My father and mother died in battle, and Dongling slaughtered the people. It was you who rushed over on horseback and raised your sword to protect me. That day, I was happy with you." She looked at it. Vice General Zhu said word by word.

 Vice General Zhu moved his eyes away with difficulty, his heart beating like thunder.

 He felt that his heart was almost jumping out of his chest.

  "You are a kindness to me. You are young and easily confused. You regard gratitude as love..."

"I am twenty-three, not thirteen! Why do you think I am a fool?"

"I just ask, do you like me?" She looked at Vice General Zhu blankly.
