auspicious time has come

Chapter 11

"You stinky girl really don't care about my life at all!"

Jiang's matchmaker complained: "You don't know that the sage ordered me to go to the north to marry that Lord Xiaohou? Who knows that this general has declined the sage's offer of marriage several times before. How can this marriage be so easy?" It was said? I think if I am the number one matchmaker in the capital, if I come back in a feather, regardless of whether the saint blames it or not, I will definitely become the laughing stock of those private matchmakers!"

Hengyu's expression brightened: "Aunt Jiang is right, is Yingzhou Jiedu Envoy and Dingbei Marquis Xiao Mu?"

"It's not this big Buddha, who else has such a big face?"

Hengyu's eyes moved.

This is indeed a big Buddha.

The relationship between the Northland and the imperial court has always been delicate. Before that, the King of Jin rebelled from the Northland. This rebellion caused Dasheng to fluctuate for a while, until it was calmed down by General Xiao three years ago. However, in order to stabilize the situation, the imperial court named Xiao Mu the Marquis of Dingbei and served as the envoy of Yingzhou Jiedu. The first was to eradicate the remnants of the King of Jin, and the second was to deal with the invasion of foreign races.

In this way, Fang barely had a few years of peace on the border.

Therefore, even in the capital, she could always hear rumors about this general.

Leaving aside those beautiful and legendary records, there are many weird sayings...

At this time, the carriage was passing by a teahouse, and the storyteller in the building happened to be saying——

"This General Xiao can be described as extraordinary in martial arts. You may want to ask, how extraordinary is it? It is said that he has three heads and six arms, a red face, blond hair, a body as wide as a mountain, and eyes like torches! He needs to eat a thousand catties of grain every day, and half of the drinking water. River water!"

"No, you clearly said eight hundred catties the day before yesterday! Why has General Xiao's appetite increased in the past few days?" Some serious audience members raised objections.

The storyteller didn't change his face: "General Xiao won another battle not long ago, his merits and supernatural power have increased, and his appetite will naturally increase accordingly!"

"I see……"

"Makes sense!"

"General Xiao is really a god-man. This is clearly a living Bodhisattva who came to the world to save sentient beings... But why does General Xiao refuse to marry a wife so far?"

"Well..." Mr. Storyteller stroked his beard, showing an inscrutable smile: "Naturally, the secret must not be revealed."

What secret cannot be revealed?
Some people looked at each other and smiled, knowing it clearly.

It has been spread all over the capital for a long time - General Xiao is a manly man, and there are countless male pets in his tent!

Of course, there are also people who firmly believe: "Since a living Bodhisattva is alive, he is here to save all living beings! How can a god be nostalgic for mere mortal love?"

Heng Yu has heard of these versions.

As a result, there would often appear in my mind the eerie picture of this red-faced, blond-haired General Xiao with six arms each holding a flowery male pet, and sometimes there would be a compassionate reincarnated celestial being sitting on a lotus platform Chanting on——

The random thoughts following what she heard were only for a moment, and she quickly asked: "When does Aunt Jiang plan to leave?"

"The portraits have been roughly collected and will leave Beijing in two days."

"I want to go too!"

The carriage was still driving, Heng Yu with bright eyes got up suddenly, moved to sit next to Jiang Meiguan, took the other's arm, and said softly: "Aunt Jiang, take me, the media official is going out, how many people are there?" How about a painter?"

"You? What are you going to do?" Jiang's matchmaker looked at the little girl puzzled.

"That is the famous General Xiao. I heard that this General Xiao is the reincarnation of the god of war. He is good at martial arts, good at riding and shooting, and has never been defeated. I admire him very much. I have long wanted to see his true face!" The big and bright eyes were sparkling at this moment, full of yearning.

Seeing the pretty little girl like a spring flower, Jiang Meiguan's eyes moved.

This time, the sage decreed that any girl who has reached the age of sixteen and has not been engaged in the mansion of an official of the fifth rank or higher in Beijing must draw a portrait and take it to the North...

If she remembers correctly, this girl's elder brother was promoted to a fifth-rank official not long ago?
Leaving this one out!
Because of the unfettered behavior and the experience of living abroad, the marriage is doomed to be difficult, and there is a ready-made Mr. Shaoyan in the palace of the eldest princess Yongyang. After a long time, the habit of ignoring it was born.

It can be said that Beihou's mansion is far away in the north, and the generals have never been so particular about it. In case...

After all, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital is resounding here!
Compared with these invisible and intangible portraits, it is natural that the beauties in front of you are more moving...

As for this girl's thoughts?Already have a beautiful son-in-law?

One day's name is not determined, one day can't be counted, and the house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, what a simple truth!
This is a good move, maybe it can solve her problem and help her make a great contribution...

The media official Jiang was thinking, but he didn't show it on his face: "The Marquis of Yingzhou is not a good place to go. Even if I agree, how can the elders in your family and His Royal Highness the eldest princess agree?"

If you usually mess around, it's under your nose. How can you compare it to Yingzhou, which is thousands of miles away?

"Don't worry, Aunt Jiang, I have my own solution." Heng Yu patted his chest lightly twice, smiling authentically.

"But it's only two days, don't wait when it's over." Jiang's matchmaker took a sip of tea leisurely.

……

"The enemy is clear and we are in the dark. Going out of Beijing alone is too suspicious and may cause trouble... It is most appropriate to go with Jiang Meiguan as a painter. When we arrive in Yingzhou, it will be more convenient to do things and not easy to attract attention."

In the evening, in the study outside Ji's house, Heng Yu was discussing with his elder brother.

"What do you think of this method, brother?"

Ji Nanxian, who has been silent all this time, nodded: "It's a good idea."

Hengyu was overjoyed.

But I heard my elder brother say: "Don't mention it again in the future."

Hengyu: ...?
"Brother-"

Ji Nanxian stopped her from continuing: "You are a daughter's family, how can I safely ask you to take risks?"

"What's wrong with my daughter's family?" Heng Yu insisted: "Brother, you should know that you and I both have the surname Ji. When things happen in the family, we should only think about who is more suitable, rather than distinguishing between men and women. What's more, what men can do, women can do the same." Can do it, and do it better—women's actions are less likely to attract attention than men's."

The world treats women with contempt, which is unfair, but if used properly, the world's prejudice is sometimes the best cover.

Ji Nanxian was about to say more, when suddenly the door of the study was pushed open: "I think Xiao Yu'er is right!"

Looking at his wife who swaggered in, Ji Nanxian was stunned for a moment: "...Yaoyao, why are you still eavesdropping?"

"How can you call it an eavesdropping on a family matter?" Mrs. Yu asked rightly.

Just as Ji Nanxian was about to answer, there was a sudden pause on the edge of his mouth.

Ning Yu helped Mrs. Meng and walked in.

"..." Ji Nanxian was completely silent.

At first when Yaoyao first married, he was worried that his scholarly family would make Yaoyao feel uneasy, but now it seems...

Not only was Yaoyao not restrained, she even teamed up with Xiao Yu'er to turn her grandmother astray!
