The Major General's Country Wife

In the morning, Yun Changsheng got up early.

Today, he and Xu Changfeng are going to the newly opened tea house in the Duke's Mansion. It is run by a few brothers in their mansion, and it is scheduled to open today.

"Wake up so early?" Xu Changfeng had just returned from practicing martial arts in the backyard, and saw Yun Changsheng already fully dressed and sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Isn't the teahouse opening?" Yun Changsheng said with a smile, "We're going to join us early."

"Don't worry." Xu Changfeng sat down to eat, and asked, "Are you bored at home? Find time to go out to the night market these days."

Xu Changfeng saw Yun Changsheng's concentration, said that he didn't go out in the hot weather, he really didn't move a single step, he only went out in the morning and evening to enjoy the cool breeze every day, and stayed indoors the rest of the time.

"Not boring." Yun Changsheng said bluntly.

Since the conversation between the two of them a few days ago, the relationship between the two of them has become much closer. There is no need to beat around the bush and try some things, and just tell each other what you think.

Yun Changsheng really didn't have anything he wanted to do. With seniors, Uncle He and the others, and now Xu Changfeng by his side all day, there was absolutely no need for him to do anything.

According to his grandfather's words, as long as he lives happily and according to his wish, he doesn't need to think about other things.

Of course, to achieve today's results is not only due to Grandpa's arrangement, but also his own reasons, creating a living environment where he can do whatever he wants.

Now there is really nothing that he needs to do by himself, if necessary, he can just move his mouth, and the rest is to enjoy life with peace of mind.

Oh, it's not that he doesn't worry at all, there are many things that Xu Changfeng in front of him needs to pay more attention to, and this is something he is willing to do.

"How is your sister's embroidery shop?" Yun Changsheng asked while eating, "Are we still going when it opens?"

"Go, they need their family members to support them even more," Xu Changfeng said.

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng nodded, he didn't need to care about Uncle He's affairs, and only came to him when there were important matters to be discussed.

He is now focusing on Xu Changfeng. Fortunately, there is basically nothing to worry about in his family, he just needs to focus on leading the development of his younger brothers and sisters.

"How about the marriage talk in the house?" Yun Changsheng asked casually.

Xu Changfeng's hands froze. What should he say? He said that his grandfather had been a soldier all his life, and he avoided suspicion everywhere. He didn't have many friends.

Now I have finally racked my brains to find a few childhood playmates, who go out every day to get drunk and get carried away.

I don't know if I forgot to say dear

In this matter, it's still too thin-skinned to pretend to be confused, go out early and return at night every day without seeing a shadow, and you can't count on him at all.

My father, with a gentle and shy personality, looks for many people every day, including childhood friends, former classmates, and some good friends, even those who are acquainted with colleagues.

But he just came to visit every day, entertained guests and had a good time, talked about literature, poetry, songs and Fu, and never mentioned the matter of marriage.

My second uncle is even more thin-skinned, he himself is embarrassed to find someone, and he follows his father every day, but the brothers and friends are happy to play together.

As for the uncles born from the concubine, the situation is similar to that of my grandfather. They have been guarding the border for many years, and they don't have many friends. They invite all the people they knew in childhood.

Treating guests to drink every day, wandering around the capital, seems to want to get back all the fun that has been delayed for half a lifetime, disappearing during the day and sometimes not returning in the middle of the night.

"Hahaha." Hearing Xu Changfeng's words, Yun Changsheng covered his stomach with a smile, "Ouch", "I really laughed to death, hahaha."

The Duke's Mansion, which has been silent for a long time, is finally active now, and even those boudoir women who are tightly controlled can now leave the mansion at will, and everyone is filled with joy.

"That's good too." Yun Changsheng said: "Make them happy, things in the mansion will be smoothed out gradually, don't be in a hurry at this moment."

"Yes." Xu Changfeng said: "Children of aristocratic families in Kyoto are not like ordinary people. It's okay to say goodbye a year or two later."

"By the way, are you 23 this year?" Yun Changsheng asked, "Did no one come to your door to say hello to you?"

Xu Changfeng said: "I have been in the military camp and have not come back, and no one at home has mentioned this matter."

He looked at Yun Changsheng, and said with an extremely serious attitude: "Since Doctor Yun made an appointment five years ago, I have never thought about getting married."

"No, I probably haven't thought about it all the time." Xu Changfeng added: "The barracks didn't even think about it. There are many things to be busy even if the war ends."

"After this marriage was settled, you never thought about it." Yun Changsheng asked with wandering eyes.

"I thought about it." Xu Changfeng said frankly: "At that time, I thought it was an expedient solution that Doctor Yun came up with, but since he helped us tide over the difficulties, Doctor Yun will take care of everything."

"After he left the barracks, I thought that since he didn't say to cancel the engagement, he assumed that the marriage still exists."

Xu Changfeng smiled, "Later, Doctor Yun sent a letter directly stating that the engagement would continue, so naturally he would not have any other thoughts."

"Really?" Yun Changsheng hesitated again and again, but still didn't say the words "three wives and four concubines"

words.

"Of course." Xu Changfeng stretched out his hand to touch Yun Changsheng's head, "Don't think so much, no one can erase this marriage."

"I'm just talking casually." Yun Changsheng said shyly.

"Heh." Xu Changfeng smiled, looking at Yun Changsheng's blushing cheeks, he loved it but also had other thoughts, "As long as we are willing, it doesn't matter what other people think."

"Hmm." Yun Changsheng looked a little uncomfortable by his focused and gentle eyes, and lowered his head to eat to hide his increasingly hot cheeks.

"Let's go there earlier after eating to see if there is anything we can help."

"Yes." Xu Changfeng agreed, he was in a very good mood at the moment, how could he not see Yun Changsheng's shyness at this moment.

……

"Brother, Master Yun."

As soon as Xu Changfeng and Yun Changsheng arrived at the door of the teahouse, they saw Xu Changfeng's younger brothers hurried out.

"What's the matter, so anxious?" Xu Changfeng asked.

"Let's go to the newly opened Four Seasons Fruit Shop to grab some fruits." Xu Changhong said: "There are all fruits from the south, which are not sold in the world. Let's snap up some and come back to attract some customers."

"Yeah, big brother." Xu Changfeng's other younger brother, who looks fifteen or sixteen years old, is very lively and sunny. "Today is the first day of opening. It is said that there is a discount. We have to queue up early, hoping to grab some back."

"Do you still need to rob to buy fruit?" Xu Changfeng looked puzzled at them and brought more than ten people, not like buying fruit but like fighting and robbing, "No matter how rare southern fruits are, you don't need so many people to go."

"They said it was a purchase restriction." Xu Changhong said: "They publicized it on the street early on, saying that one person can only buy two catties of each fruit. Our teahouse uses a lot, so of course we have to go to more people to buy it every day."

Seeing them all gearing up, Xu Changfeng felt that something was wrong, and was interrupted by Xu Changhong hastily when he was about to speak.

"Brother, I won't tell you anymore." He turned his head and beckoned, "Let's go quickly. I heard that there are many people in the house who have sent people to line up. If it's late, we can go ahead."

"Don't panic." Yun Changsheng smiled secretly, and said, "If you want fruits from the south, you can go to the Southwest Escort Bureau. If you are in charge of them, tell them that I let you go, and let them help you solve it."

"Report the name of the Duke's Mansion, and they will naturally know how to do it. No matter the quantity or price you want, they will try their best to satisfy you."

"Oh!" Xu Changhong raised his forehead and said in surprise: "How did I forget that the relatives of Master Yun's family brought a lot of fruit when they came, so what's the use of us?"

Go elsewhere to snap up. "

"That's right, that's right." The other disciples of the Xu family came to their senses immediately, "On the day we were hired, we put on the table and brought with us fruits that are rare in the south."

"If you think about it, send someone there." Yun Changsheng said with a smile, "I promise not to delay your restaurant's recruitment of customers, and the price will be much lower."

"Hahaha, that's great." The happy Xu Changhong immediately asked the Southwest Escort for the address, and arranged for a younger brother to take two people to set off.

"Brother, go inside and have a cup of tea." Xu Changhong greeted them and said, "It's still early to leave Yeji, so you should rest inside for a while."

"Okay, let me know if you need help." Xu Changfeng took Yun Changsheng into the teahouse and told his younger brothers.

"No, no, everything has been arranged." The younger brothers were full of spirits, and they must hold on to such a good opportunity to change their future destiny.

"Major General, Master Yun." As soon as they entered, several aunts came over to greet them.

Their expressions were tense and fearful, and they stood stiffly at the side, not daring to move casually. Afterwards, Xu Changfeng's sisters who came over happily stepped forward to talk to Xu Changfeng.

"Brother, let's come over and take a look, we want to help." One of the younger sisters said with a restrained and joyful expression.

"Very good." Xu Changfeng praised: "Brothers and sisters should help each other. When your embroidery shop opens, these brothers will also help."

"Yeah." The little girls suddenly cheered up, "I said that the elder brother would not object, and the sisters of the housekeepers didn't stop us from coming out."

"Major General." Seeing that Xu Changfeng was not displeased, the aunts made faces at them and became more courageous, "We also want to see the opening of the teahouse, and come over to help."

"It's okay." Xu Changfeng said with a smile: "This is your son's first time doing business. If you have time, you can come over and take a look and help manage it."

"Really, can you really come and visit often?" The aunts were so happy that they couldn't believe it, they looked at Xu Changfeng hopefully.

"Of course you can." Xu Changfeng said: "There is no rule that says you are not allowed to go out, even if you have nothing to do, you can go out for a stroll and relax, as long as you pay attention to your own identity, words and deeds, and don't affect the Duke's government and children."

"Auntie, you can leave the house at any time from now on." The little girls said happily, "You don't have to stay in the back house all day, looking at the sky above your head every day."

"Thank you, thank you Major General." The aunts burst into tears, and they couldn't help crying, "Thank you for letting us go out of the house often."

"Ah!" Seeing their appearance, Yun Changsheng's eyes felt a little hot.

It was not easy for women in ancient times. These low-status women who were locked up in the back house did not even mention their freedom, and the power of life and death was controlled by others.

They are cautious and anxious all day long, and as long as one of them is not serious or makes others look down on them, they may be treated harshly.

Scolding, beating, and various punishments are still good, but being tortured to death or being sold to unbearable places is the most unbearable for them.

These days, Yun Changsheng has been taking advantage of Xu Changfeng's time to accompany him, pulling him to talk about trivial things in the countryside, which are actually mixed with some modern concepts.

Invisibly, Xu Changfeng, who had never been in contact with common affairs, was inspired or brainwashed, just like Yun Changsheng tugged at his sleeve now.

He knew what Yun Changsheng meant. He smiled at Yun Changsheng soothingly, and then said to the aunts, "Why are you sad? The children are about to have a bright future. Brothers and sisters will support each other in the future. As long as you work hard, you will have a bright future."

"Thank you, Major General." The aunts wiped away their tears and thanked Xu Changfeng. They didn't expect this day to come, and the most important thing was to be happy for their children.

"You're welcome." Xu Changfeng understood their feelings, and didn't mind giving them some hope, and said, "If there is nothing wrong with my aunts, I hope you can help my sisters manage the general affairs of the house.

"They will say that their relatives will get married in the future, and you still need a lot of help in the affairs of the house. Please put in more effort, my aunts."

"Us, our housekeeper?" The aunts were even more surprised, how could it be their turn to do such a thing, it was the work of the master of the house.

Don't talk about them, even Xu Changfeng's younger sisters couldn't believe it. They looked at Xu Changfeng blankly, as if they had heard such a shocking thing.

Yun Changsheng was also surprised. He was shocked by Xu Changfeng's operation. This was really his idea. He couldn't believe what he said.

Later Xu Changfeng said to him: "You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you have to participate in these things in the future, but your mind is not on this, and I don't want you to make things difficult for yourself."

"Grandmother, mother, and aunts can't count on it. The younger sisters will get married sooner or later. It's better to let the aunts participate in this time."

"In the future, when you enter the mansion, they will take care of everything, so you don't have to worry about these general affairs, and everyone will be happy because of it. Wouldn't it be great?"

Yun Changsheng was moved again, he didn't expect Xu Changfeng to be so careful, he thought of helping him arrange these things in advance

things, and don’t burden yourself with those responsibilities.

He became more and more reluctant, and at the same time, he was more attentive to Xu Changfeng, and more willing to give him some private help and support.

But before Yun Changsheng could get over his emotions, another major event happened that also shocked everyone in the capital, and he had to pay close attention to it.

Seemingly irrelevant things, in fact, hidden secrets, Yun Changsheng couldn't help sighing again: "I have a conflict with the capital, if grandpa knows, will he regret letting himself go to the capital?"

But he just sighed for a moment, knowing that for his so-called destiny, grandpa would risk a lot and would never give up on Xu Changfeng's marriage.

So he also had to work hard, to keep Xu Changfeng at the same time, that is to say, to keep the Duke's Mansion, he had to put more thought into it.
