The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Gu Mengyin really didn't have any plans today. After eating, she went out with Gu Wenbin on the street.

At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the street.

The newly opened restaurant in Xicheng is not close to the Gu family, and it takes more than half an hour to get there by carriage.

The two of them got out of the car when they reached the street where the restaurant was located.

"It's quite lively here."

"Yes, there are many merchants living here in Xicheng. Although it doesn't look as majestic as the street leading out of the Imperial City, it is very prosperous. There are also many people doing business here every day."

"Hurry up, we'll be gone if we go late."

"What are you doing running so fast?"

"Little brother, you don't know. The eldest lady from the Zhennan General's Mansion in front of me set up a competition to recruit a bride. She said that anyone who signed up to participate would get one tael of silver regardless of winning or losing. There were only a hundred places. If you go late, you’ll be gone.”

That's one tael of silver. After taking the silver, they can just go to the stage and pretend to be dead. At most, they will be punched twice, and the lady from the General's Mansion will not kill them. It is not difficult at all to earn this one tael of silver.

Gu Mengyin and Gu Wenbin looked at the excited people and looked at each other. They were out to have fun anyway, so there was no harm in joining in the fun.

The two of them followed the common people to the arena where they competed to recruit brides.

When they arrived, there were already many people crowded in front of the ring.

Many people are actively signing up to participate in the competition.

"Who is this General Wen?"

"My aunt, I don't know. General Zhennan is a famous general. More than ten years ago, he defeated Nanlin's army of 100,000 with only 50,000 troops. He made great achievements for our country. I listen to me. Dad said that the emperor was so happy that he married Princess Yinrong into the Zhennan General's Mansion as a noble lady."

The so-called marriage means that even if the identity of Princess Yinrong is still there, after marrying, she can only call herself the general's wife like an ordinary lady, and the Zhennan General can still serve the country.

Being able to get the princess married shows that the emperor really likes this general.

"But..."

"Half of words, let's get a fight."

Gu Wenbin said: "I heard that the general's heir is in some difficulty."

Gu Mengyin crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, "Is it difficult to have an heir?"

"Yes, Princess Yinrong has been at a loss since the general got married. I tried all kinds of methods to no avail. Later, she got pregnant with the guidance of an expert."

"At that time, the two of them were full of expectations that it would be a boy, but what was born was a daughter. Although the couple was a little disappointed, it was better than not. However, since the birth of this daughter, there has been no more children in the general's house. , not even one of the concubines can conceive an heir."

After Gu Wenbin finished speaking, he saw Gu Mengyin looking straight at him.

"Great-aunt, why are you looking at me like that?"

"How do you know these things so clearly?"

Gu Wenbin raised his peach blossom eyes and said with a self-proclaimed romantic smile: "Hey, my great aunt doesn't know something. My mother has a well-connected handkerchief who works as a nanny at the Zhennan General's Mansion. The nanny is the one who is competing today. The eldest lady looking for a bride.”

Gu Mengyin suddenly realized.

While the two were talking, more and more people gathered in front of the ring to watch the excitement, and the registration quota there was already full.

The people from the General Mansion asked everyone who signed up to wait behind the ring.

"Eh? Grandma, do you think that person looks like my second brother?" Gu Mengyin followed Gu Wenbin's line of sight and saw a familiar figure.

Gu Wenque didn't notice the two of them and walked straight to the back of the ring.

"Okay, the second brother actually secretly came to participate in the martial arts competition behind our backs to recruit a bride. If he is short of money, just tell me. Is he going to fight with a woman for a few dollars?"

Gu Mengyin shook her head, "Anyway, he has already signed up, we will just watch."

Soon, a person who looked like a follower walked onto the ring holding a gong.

The sound of gongs and drums made everyone turn their attention to the stage.

"Thank you all for coming to support me today. Today is the arena competition for the eldest ladies in the Zhennan General's Mansion to compete for a bride. I would like to tell you the rules of the competition."

"This competition is divided into two-person competition, that is, we will randomly group the 100 contestants to compete against each other first, and finally choose one to compete with the eldest lady. If he can make the eldest lady admit defeat, then he You will win the opportunity to marry the eldest lady."

After explaining the rules of the game clearly, the entourage retreated.

The draws for the contestants at the back have been completed.

Soon, the first group of players came on stage.

Gu Mengyin stood below and yawned.

These people are either just pretending, or they are just novices. They are not even good at embroidering their legs. They are really not worth seeing. If they weren't curious about Gu Wenque's performance, Gu Mengyin would have left by now.

Gu Wenbin saw that she was bored, so he took Gu Mengyin to the second floor room of the nearby teahouse. He sat by the window and could see the arena.

As soon as the waiter brought the hot tea, the two of them saw Gu Wenque coming on stage.

The boy who was fighting against Gu Wenque looked at his thin arms and legs and it seemed that he had never practiced martial arts.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Wenque got out of his stance, the other person lay down on the ground, twitching and started foaming at the mouth.

Gu Wenque was so frightened that he looked confused.

The people from the General's Mansion hurried forward and carried the man down to declare Gu Wenque's victory.

At this time, Princess Yinrong, who was standing in the building behind the ring, looked at the people on the ring and the delicate makeup on their faces could not hide the gloom in her eyes.

"That's nonsense. I told that kid before that any competition to recruit a bride was unreliable and she just didn't listen. Look at who the people are."

If her daughter hadn't suddenly brought it up, she would have had time to make adequate preparations, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed these unscrupulous people to take the stage.

"It's really a disgrace to the general's palace."

"Madam, calm down. The eldest lady has finally relented and agreed to marry her husband. You can let her do it for now. Don't spoil her mood. You can find a suitable candidate later."

I get worried when I think of my daughter Princess Yinrong. She is her beloved daughter. When she was a child, she was afraid of falling or melting when she held her in her arms.

Who would have thought that she would be disobedient when she was raised and had to make her own decisions about everything. She and the general were often very angry, but they only had one daughter so they had no choice but to spoil her.

Now, let's play this game for them.

"You guys should keep an eye on it. You must not let those messy people stay until the end."

"Don't worry, madam. This slave has already told the housekeeper, and I guarantee that the ones left until the end will at least be from clean families."

Princess Yinrong nodded, but her eyebrows filled with sadness did not relax for a long time.
