The Major General's Country Wife

After Yun Changsheng left, Xu Guogong's eyes were blank, as if he had aged a few years for a while.

Now that people come to the door as promised, they must admit the marriage, and cannot go back on their word just because Dr. Yun is not around.

It's just that the family may be in chaos, and Xu Guogong feels a headache when he thinks about it. What he thinks about every day is power, prosperity and wealth, and he doesn't think about how they got it all.

If Dr. Yun hadn't saved people from fire and water, and used the marriage contract to ward off disasters for the Duke's mansion, I don't know if he would be rich now!

Xu Guogong was very disturbed. He thought it was an expedient measure, but he didn't expect Dr. Yun to take it seriously. Three years ago, he sent a letter telling him when to get married.

He originally wanted to wait for Dr. Yun to come to the door, and then discuss it carefully, but he didn't expect that he had already gone, and now his grandson came to get married, how could he not respond.

…………

"Master Yun, it's time to go to the dinner party."

Si Zhu quietly glanced at Yun Changsheng, seeing that he was dressed in a suit that he probably didn't understand the affairs of the Duke's mansion, so he kindly reminded him.

"Oh."

Yun Changsheng casually agreed, and then remembered that he was not familiar with this place, "I don't know where to go to the dinner party, can you take me there?"

Yun Changsheng blinked his eyes a few times, and his innocent and obedient appearance could arouse the goodwill of others.

For example, the current Si Zhu was dazzled by the bright smile on his face, no one had ever smiled at him like this before, and looked at him nervously.

He was inexplicably soft-hearted. Seeing that no one came to pick him up from the door, he said in a low voice: "The slave is the last-class handyman. He is only responsible for guarding and cleaning this small guest house. You are not allowed to go anywhere else."

Yun Changsheng was taken aback by what he said, and suddenly realized that this was ancient times, when no human beings regarded human life as worthless.

He suppressed his smile and thought for a while, then looked outside the door again, "It's okay, you take me there, I will tell Duke Xu about this, and I will never let you be punished."

This is still a child, so Yun Changsheng can't make things difficult for him, but now that he has just arrived here, he still needs Si Zhu's help with some things.

"Yes." Si Zhu already wanted to help him lead the way, and now that he had this sentence, he would naturally not refuse, "Please, young master."

Si Zhu bowed slightly as a gesture of invitation. Yun Changsheng was very unaccustomed to his groveling appearance, but he was powerless to change this.

He could only walk out of the small courtyard silently, with Si Zhu leading the way, and when he was about to reach an intersection, he saw Xu Guogong coming from one direction.

Yun Changsheng stepped forward to greet him, "I have met Xu Guogong."

"Hmm." Xu Guogong saw that Yun Changsheng had clean eyes and acted well-behaved and politely, and at first glance he was not a scheming child.

He said with a very kind attitude: "Today's family banquet is prepared for you, I will recognize the people in the house in a while, and you will meet again when Changfeng returns."

…………

At this time, Mrs. Xu Guogong's Yang's courtyard was full of people, all waiting for Xu Guogong to come to have a banquet.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang is in a good mood, Xu Jingyi, the eldest daughter of the big house, couldn't help asking, "Grandmother, I don't know what happy event is going on today, but grandfather is throwing a family banquet?"

When Mrs. Yang heard her granddaughter asking about this, she frowned slightly and was puzzled, "It is said that there are guests."

What kind of guests need a family banquet to entertain, and no relatives come to the door, otherwise, as the mistress of a house, they should come to see themselves first.

All the people in the room were puzzled, and secretly wondered who this person was, and Xu Guogong needed to personally explain to hold a family banquet.

If relatives come to the door, it is not like this, and if they are not relatives, they should not hold a family banquet. Everyone is full of curiosity.

They were talking, Xu Guogong brought Yun Changsheng over, and everyone in the room got up to salute.

Xu Guogong saw that all the family members had arrived, pointed to Yun Changsheng and said, "This is Yun Changsheng, a distinguished guest from the mansion today."

He first introduced his wife to Yun Changsheng, "This is the old lady."

"Hello, old lady." Yun Changsheng obediently stepped forward to salute.

"Ah."

Yun Changsheng only got a barely audible "um", and he didn't care. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw the old lady.

Afterwards, Xu Guogong's sons, Yun Changsheng stepped forward to salute one by one, some nodded to him, and some let out a soft "um".

Except for these key figures, Xu Guogong didn't introduce anyone else, he just said: "The rest are their family members, you will get to know each other slowly in the future."

Xu Guogong said it in one sentence, and Yun Changsheng knew that there were too many people, so he didn't have to eat if he had to say it one by one.

Xu Guogong has too many family members. According to his introduction, he has six sons and five daughters. Except for the married daughter, there are six sons and their families in the mansion.

Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, Yun Changsheng felt dizzy. There were a large group of men, women, old and young. It is true that in ancient times, he could marry several wives and have a large group of children.

Xu Guogong didn't say anything after the introduction, he just asked people to prepare for the banquet, and everyone moved to the dining room together, and asked Yun Changsheng to sit beside him.

Facing a group of strangers with strange eyes, Yun Changsheng had no choice but to obediently obey Xu Guogong's arrangements, like a puppet, completely following Xu Guogong's every move.

Yun Changsheng looked at the silver bowls and chopsticks on the table, and the plates of delicious delicacies with tempting aromas, his eyes lit up.

Living in the wilderness for 18 years, Yun Changsheng really lived a simple life, and a bird faded out of his mouth, so let's have a mouthful and eat a good meal first.

Xu Guogong looked at the sons at the same table, "I won't drink alcohol today, I have something to announce later."

The atmosphere at the banquet was very strange, no one spoke, and everyone ate quietly, occasionally there was only a slight sound of bowls and plates colliding.

Only Yun Changsheng was alone, completely in the state of enjoying delicious food, delicacies from mountains and seas and all kinds of exquisite meals, his brows and eyes were curved when he ate, he was so happy that he almost forgot where he was.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion finished their meal in this silent and depressing atmosphere, and followed Xu Guogong back to the hall just now.

Xu Guogong took a few sips from his teacup, and then he opened his mouth to astonish everyone, "Announce one thing, this is the daughter-in-law I have appointed for Changfeng, and he will come to get married."

"Wow."

Xu Guogong's words immediately caused an uproar, and everyone in the room was startled, and all of them turned their eyes back to Yun Changsheng.

The posture is leisurely and picturesque, the big almond eyes are full of childishness, sitting there obediently, he is an elegant and handsome boy.

Just a glimpse of his clothes made everyone look suspicious and couldn't believe what Xu Guogong said just now.

The rough linen clothes are unsightly, especially with a few ugly patches on his body, a poor boy who came out of nowhere.

How can such a person be the eldest grandson's wife?

As soon as everyone thought of letting such a person marry into the Duke's Mansion as the future mistress, they felt ashamed to go out to meet people.

Also, it's a man, a man!

How can you be a regular wife? Wouldn't it make the people in the capital, the big families and dignitaries laugh at you, how will the people in their mansion go out in the future, and how will they face everyone.

"My lord."

The Duke's wife was the first to speak, she did not allow such a thing to happen, "How can you marry Chang Feng at will."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Guogong with a glance, and Yang's piercing eyes swallowed the words in her mouth at once.

Xu Guogong looked at the whole family, his brows were tightly frowned, his face serious as if he was fighting the enemy, "I just want to inform you that this marriage has been settled many years ago, and it will never be cancelled."

Yun Changsheng sat obediently on the side, and greeted everyone's eyes, with contempt, pickiness, dissatisfaction, curiosity or indifference mixed in.

Xu Guogong's family saw him as cold and decisive as always, and they were stunned for a while, especially the wife of the Duke, Yang, whose face was blue and white, which was as ugly as a face change.

The room was quiet, very quiet, but Yun Changsheng had a bad feeling, this was the prelude to the approaching storm.

Sure enough, just as Xu Guogong put down his tea bowl and was about to signal the end of the family banquet, a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous dress stood up.

The embroidered handkerchiefs in her hands were tightly clenched together, her eyes were full of firmness and she said: "Father, my daughter-in-law disagrees."

After she said this, she seemed to relax suddenly, and she had already opened her mouth to express her opinion, and she was no longer nervous or afraid.

"Changfeng is the eldest grandson, how can he marry a man?"

Qian was full of dissatisfaction. Why did her son marry a male wife? It was a joke. She was still a poor boy who came out of nowhere.

"If our Duke's mansion does this, it will be a joke in the capital. How will the people in the mansion go out in the future, and how will other children marry?"

Qian did not dare to look at Xu Guogong all the time. When she said this, she turned her head to look at Yun Changsheng, "The daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson of the Duke's mansion must not only be knowledgeable and sensible in housekeeping, but also give birth to an heir."

Mrs. Qian looked at Yun Changsheng contemptuously, "The gate of the Duke's Mansion is not just for anyone to come in casually, family background, character and appearance all have to be selected from a thousand miles."

"Tsk." Yun Changsheng saw the flames of war burning on him in an instant, met Qian's disdainful gaze, touched his face, and said sincerely, "Actually, I'm not bad."

As Yun Changsheng spoke, he turned to Xu Guogong again, "My lord has been a soldier all his life, he is a respected person, so he is naturally a person who is worth a lot of money, and he values ​​promises and keeps promises."

"My grandfather is also based on honesty and is respected by tens of thousands of people. As his grandson, he naturally cannot lose face as an old man, and cannot do anything to regret the marriage."

Yun Changsheng straightened his back, and instantly he was full of pride, "A man stands upright, and must be a person of integrity and righteousness. For the sake of the Duke's family, I beg to marry the eldest grandson."

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he looked at Qian with a smile and said: "Wife from a high family marry a woman from a low family, and the eldest grandson's marriage can kill multiple birds with one stroke, so we won't embarrass the family anymore."

"You, how dare you?"

Qian's astonished and angry eyes seemed to swallow Yun Changsheng alive, "What qualifications do you have to say these words?"

"Because." Yun Changsheng said proudly: "I have mountains, rivers, and fields, and my capital will not humiliate your government."
