Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 4
Chu Nanning wanted to buy ready-made clothes and medicine. Of course, if she had the chance, she also wanted to put an end to the original body.

The original identity is actually not bad. Putting aside the eldest daughter of the Prince Xuanping Mansion, she is still the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion. However, her mother died and her father married another man. Not long after her stepmother came in, her brother was kidnapped and her stepmother She and her stepsister were sick every few days, and rumors spread out in the capital for some reason that she was a lone evil star, capable of killing both her mother and her brother, and even her stepmother and stepsister.

Her father, who loved her stepmother and stepsisters, sent her to her hometown as soon as she was five years old and ignored her for more than ten years. Even when she got married, he didn't even get to see her because she was far away and couldn't make it in time.

Now that she is back in the capital, of course she has to find time to visit that family.

Chu Nanning bought some food and some medicine, holding them in her hands and hurried back.

When I got home late, the old lady almost fell asleep. She didn't want to eat anything before going to bed, for fear of waking up hungry in the middle of the night.

She rushed across the street with her feet speeding up. Unexpectedly, a group of people came towards her. She hurriedly dodged and accidentally bumped into one of them.

The man put his hand on her shoulder, stepped aside, and then immediately retracted his hand.

Chu Nanning used this strength to stagger and stand firm. When she raised her eyes, she saw several young men in front of her. The one she bumped into was 21 or [-] years old. He had a tall and slender figure, slanting eyebrows, and a face like a paintbrush. With meticulous craftsmanship, the jade trees are facing the wind, but there is no trace of powder, and they appear more calm.

When she first arrived, she didn't want to show off, so she took a step back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and I bumped into the young master!"

Although Xia Chixiao's hand was touched and retracted, the frailty of the woman in front of him was still so clear and obvious.

She had a delicate and delicate face, not exactly stunning, but she looked very comfortable. She was wearing an ordinary dress, and what fell to the ground was a bunch of medicine bags.

There was something very strange in her eyes, cautious yet determined, confident yet calm!

His back was straight and his tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

He looked away and said calmly: "Please!"

Chu Nanning picked up the medicine bag on the ground and left in a hurry.

A young man behind Xia Chixiao smiled and said: "This woman is very beautiful, but her clothes are so poor that it affects her!"

"No, those eyes are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the charming Hongying girl!"

"Tsk, tsk, I don't know if I've agreed to marry her! It wouldn't be bad to be a concubine!"

……

Amidst the laughter, Xia Chixiao frowned and said coldly: "How can a woman's appearance and reputation be used as a joke?"

The young man suddenly chatted, but the eyes he looked at Xia Chixiao had different colors.

Some people despise it, some people disdain it, some people ridicule it, but some people agree with it.

But everyone said: "Yes, I made a mistake! Brother Xia, don't blame me!"

The six people in this group are all descendants of noble families or officials.

But Xia Chixiao is different from them.

This group of people were waiting to die in the capital relying on their ancestral influence and family background. Xia Chixiao, not to mention the eldest son of the Liyang Marquis Mansion, was also a new noble in the court. He returned to the court with military exploits and was named a second-grade general of Zhenbei by the emperor.

What is this concept?
Some of their parents could not reach the second level, but Xia Chixiao did it at a young age.

Of course, there was something about Xia Chixiao that made them laugh secretly.

Xia Chixiao was actually picked up by the wrong person. He was raised in the countryside and first came to the capital.

A country bumpkin who has not been raised in the capital since he was a child. Although he has made great contributions and returned home, how can he be as knowledgeable as them?Little did they know that Xia Chixiao was summoned back to the capital a few months ago by Li Yanghou's brother-in-law who saw that he looked similar to his sister and brother-in-law.

Three months ago, Marquis Liyang and his wife presented the evidence they had found, cried in front of the current emperor Qisheng Emperor, and then ran all the way to the army to recognize their relatives.

Therefore, this young general who was named Pei Ting'an three years ago had already recognized his ancestors and changed his name to Xia Chixiao when he lived in another country and made great achievements through hard work.

The words released by Marquis Liyang were that the eldest son had been sick since he was a child, and something went wrong on the way to the countryside, and he was replaced by the wrong person. Fortunately, the child had the shelter of Liyang Marquis' ancestors, and was taken away by an expert to learn skills, and then directly joined the army.

It had only been half a month since he returned to the capital, but he prayed for the mercy of the Holy Emperor and issued a hush-hush order, not allowing the court to discuss the matter, which gave the young general and the Liyang Marquis Mansion great dignity.

Now that Xia Chixiao had handed over the military talisman, the Qi Sheng Emperor had no intention of sending him out on another expedition. He said that he would stay in the capital to let him cultivate a relationship with his family, and that he would not have to go to court if he had nothing to do.

Now Xia Chixiao, like these noble children in Beijing, has become idle.

Those courtiers felt that Xia Chixiao had just returned to the capital and was not close to Marquis Liyang yet, and he had no acquaintances in the capital. Isn't this a good time to make friends?Who doesn’t have a child who is too idle?
In the past few days, they had taken turns to entertain Xia Chixiao. Xia Chixiao was indeed not familiar with the situation in Beijing, so he accepted everyone who came.

Today is a treat from the Master of the Ministry of Rites, and they have just returned from drinking.

Xia Chixiao grew up in a border military camp. He was obviously a noble son, but he was born, grew up and fought in the northern border. He only returned to Beijing three times, once when he was an infant and once when he was four years old. once when I was six years old.Each stay lasted less than three months.

In order to train his son, not many people in the army knew that he was actually the son of Northern Guard General Pei Zhang.His military exploits were all accomplished with one sword and one spear.

Therefore, even if he has changed his identity now, few people in the military or in the capital would associate him with Pei Ting'an.

Accustomed to life in the military and guarding the territory and bringing peace to the people, he is really tired of this kind of idle life.

He couldn't help himself before, but when he returned to the capital, he sent someone to pick up his grandmother and his wife, who had been married but had not met.

Today's Liyanghou Mansion makes him feel very strange. When they arrive in the capital, his grandmother's identity is a bit embarrassing and she cannot live in Liyanghou Mansion, and Xuanping Bo's Mansion has been sealed off.

He had to buy them a safe and comfortable place to live.

After the emperor made him the second-grade Zhenbei General, he rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver. He has already sent people to buy a shop, and he will go and see it in person tomorrow.

Although he was an official in agriculture, industry and commerce, Qisheng Emperor did not suppress business, nor did he prevent officials from the DPRK and central government from doing business. As long as they were not too arrogant, did not abuse their power for personal gain, and did not abuse their power.

He can't use the Liyang Hou Mansion's money, so he can earn it himself!
Returning to the inn, she coaxed the old lady to eat a few snacks. After Chu Nanning washed herself, she lay comfortably on the inn's not-wide bed and fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Pei woke up.

Chu Nanning was earlier, she had already bought breakfast.

The old lady was full of worries and said: "Ning'er, staying in an inn is not cheap, and Uncle Xuanping's mansion... what should we do next?"

Chu Nanning helped her sit down and said: "Grandma, we will move in three days at most. Don't worry, the capital is so big, we won't be hungry!"

"You, there is a way?"

"Of course!" Chu Nanning said confidently: "After all, I am also the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Hou Mansion. Now that I am back, it is not difficult to get a house!"

The old lady was not optimistic: "But when you got married, the Anyuan Houfu didn't send anyone there..."

"Yes, so my mother's dowry hasn't been given to me yet!" Chu Nanning said with a smile: "We have to get back what is ours! I didn't eat the chaffy vegetables myself and let my mother keep it. It’s so kind to pay a dowry to support an outsider!”
