The Major General's Country Wife

"Why are you crying?"

Yun Changsheng looked at the two children, and there was no adult around him, "Can't you find a home?"

He heard the little boy's words and knew the general situation. In order to dispel their guard, he asked this question specially.

"You, who are you?"

The little girl didn't buy it, and even though her face turned pale with fear, she bravely stood in front of the little boy, "We can find a home, so don't come here."

"Okay, I'm not going."

Yun Changsheng looked at the little girl amusedly, and he raised his hand as a gesture of surrender, "I'm lost, I want to ask how to get to Kyoto?"

"That side." The little boy who was squatting on the ground stretched out his hand and saw that the sight was blocked by weeds. He stood up and pointed to the front of the official road, "Go straight, I have been there."

His eyes were red. After saying this, he seemed to think of something, and tears filled his eyes again, "Father took me there once."

"Oh." Yun Changsheng was thoughtful, seeing the little boy dressed in ordinary clothes, but there was a servant girl, and said, "Thank you little baby, what kind of gift do you want?"

"Thank you?" The little boy felt a little shy when Yun Changsheng called him a baby, and he was still attracted by these two words after a bit of shyness, with a blank expression on his face, not knowing what it meant.

"It was you who showed me the way. I want to express my gratitude and give the baby a little gift."

Yun Changsheng squatted down, looked directly into his eyes, and said persuasively, "You can tell me what you like or want."

"I, I want ginseng." The little boy wrinkled his face as if he was very embarrassed and said, "Can you tell me where I can find ginseng?"

"Well, I know." Yun Changsheng saw that although the little boy said what he wanted, he didn't ask him to give it, but asked where he could find it.

"I know too." Unexpectedly, the little boy said in surprise, "The doctor and grandpa said it was in the mountains, but there are tigers eating people there, so I can't go."

The little boy lowered his head, his black and white eyes were filled with tears, "Without ginseng, mother will not wake up, woo woo woo."

"Stop crying, brother has ginseng." Seeing him crying miserably, Yun Changsheng's heart softened inexplicably, and he picked up the little boy, "Brother will give it to you, your mother will wake up soon."

"Hic." The little boy stopped crying suddenly, and a hiccup flowed down his throat. He looked at Yun Changsheng in surprise, "Brother has ginseng, which can save mother."

"Of course." Yun Changsheng comforted him while wiping his tears: "It's fate that you met brother. As long as your mother has a sigh of relief, brother will wake her up."

"You, you put down the young master." The little girl saw that Yun Changsheng was about to carry his young master away, and immediately ran to the front and stretched out both hands to stop him.

"Master, come down quickly, we don't know him."

But the little boy was hugging Yun Changsheng's neck. Seeing sister Qiuhe let him go down, he was a little reluctant, "Sister Qiuhe, my brother has ginseng that can save mother. Let's take him home?"

"Oh." The little girl was anxious when she heard that, "The white-bearded doctor grandpa doesn't have ginseng, how could he have it?"

"Besides, we have no money to buy it."

She watched her young master's voice become hoarse because of his wife's crying, and coaxed him to come out and find ginseng to treat his wife, but she didn't expect to meet a liar.

"Hurry up and put down my young master, or I will call someone."

The little girl pointed at Yun Changsheng and said, if it weren't for her trembling fingers and stumbling speech, the appearance of blowing hair would be quite bluffing.

"Okay!" Yun Changsheng was helpless, he touched his chin, and remembered the sentence that he couldn't do things well without a hairy mouth, "I'll give you the ginseng first."

Putting the little boy on the ground, Yun Changsheng unfastened the burden on his back, took out a wooden box and handed it to the little boy, "Take this back."

"Ginseng." The little boy looked at the ginseng in the box, his eyes widened and he said happily, "Sister Qiuhe, mother will wake up soon."

"Thank you brother." He hugged Yun Changsheng's leg and rubbed his cheek happily, "I will give money to brother when I grow up to earn money."

"Hahaha." Yun Changsheng burst into laughter, this ginseng may not be able to buy even if there is money.

He looked at the little boy as pitiful and cute, and he felt a little compassion, and he didn't want such a little boy to lose his mother.

"Do you need your brother to visit your mother?" Yun Changsheng heard the little girl say that he has no money, "I can see your mother without charging money."

"Brother can see a doctor?" The little boy looked at Yun Changsheng in surprise, and then said with admiration: "Brother is so amazing."

"Hahaha." Yun Changsheng laughed, lovingly stroking the little boy's head, "Brother is so powerful."

The little girl who was watching all this was also surprised and unbelievable. She opened her mouth wide and squirmed a few times, but she still didn't make a sound.

Such a big ginseng is bigger than the one my wife used before. I think it will definitely save my wife, but I can't open my mouth to offend others.

Thinking of this, the little girl slowly moved her footsteps to the side, out of the way, and minimized her sense of existence.

"Take brother to your house." Yun Changsheng looked at the little girl's movements and said dumbfoundedly: "Qiu He, you lead the way."

"Ah?" Qiu He froze and nodded wildly, "Oh, okay, I'll lead the way."

Unexpectedly, the little boy's home is not far from the official road. It is a small village with about five, six, or ten acres of land.

The field is full of crops, the growth is good, and it is full of greenery, but the houses in the farm are very dilapidated, as if they have not been renovated for many years.

"Brother, this is my home."

The little boy was in Yun Changsheng's arms, happily pointing to the largest courtyard in the village, "My mother is lying in it."

"Pfft." Yun Changsheng was amused by him again, what he said was true, isn't it right for his mother to lie in his own home.

He has already been tricked out of the mouth of a little boy. The little boy is called Jiang Xiyi. His mother is always sick because he misses his brother, and his father is away all the year round and rarely comes home.

This time, Jiang Xiyi's mother was seriously ill, just as her father was away, so the situation was very difficult. She didn't have enough money to buy good medicine for treatment, and there was no ginseng to hang her life.

…………

At this time, Duke Zhen's mansion was in chaos, and all the households gathered in their courtyards to talk about the marriage between Yun Changsheng and his eldest grandson.

Especially Qian Shi of the eldest room, she was leaning on the soft couch worriedly, she no longer had the appearance of the graceful lady.

"Go again and see if that kid is back."

Qian Shi told the big maid who was serving beside her that she felt uneasy if she didn't see Yun Changsheng.

"Ma'am." Seeing her anxious, the old nanny at the side comforted her, "I have already told the concierge, if I come back, I will report it immediately."

"Hmph." Qian snorted coldly, her resentment and impatience did not diminish at all, "The Duke of the country really doesn't look down on our eldest son, even the eldest grandson."

"Poor my son secretly practiced martial arts, and then abandoned his fame to follow him to the military camp. Several times he was born and died, but he always preferred to be a concubine."

Qian's teeth itch with hatred, but there is no way, she can't be the Lord of the country, and she doesn't even have a say in her son's affairs.

If you really marry a man and come back, don't talk about family background, if there is no such thing as a legitimate son, it is impossible for the Duke's mansion to be inherited by the big house in the future.

"The old lady was really wrong back then."

Mrs. Qian sighed, "If the second room was allowed to practice martial arts and enter the military camp, the Duke would not have been without a son for so many years."

The old mama beat Qian's leg lightly, and couldn't help raising her head when she heard this, "Ma'am, I still have to rely on the old lady for this matter."

As the saying goes, if you untie the bell, you have to tie it.

Back then, for her own selfishness, the Duke's wife secretly protected her two sons from practicing martial arts without telling the truth from the Duke who was fighting abroad.

He was afraid that he would suffer if he entered the military camp in the future, so he hid the truth from everyone in the house and refused to let his son practice martial arts, saying that he was weak and uncomfortable, so that he missed the best age for martial arts.

She is also opportunistic, her son is not allowed to practice martial arts, but she strictly disciplines a few concubines, and always supervises them to practice martial arts diligently.

It is just thinking that in the future, they will go through life and death, earn glory for the Duke's mansion, and his son will stay at home and enjoy the blessings and inherit the title.

But he didn't expect that her actions would cause dissatisfaction among the older generation, and the Duke of the State was also furious, telling the old lady with certainty that she would inherit the title with martial arts and meritorious deeds.

One sentence completely ruined the old lady's good idea, so that she tried many ways to remedy it, but the Duke of the country was unmoved, and had no choice but to give up his eldest grandson Xiwu and enter the military camp.

Hearing what the old mother said, Mrs. Qian sneered: "I don't want my son to suffer, but I want my son to go through life and death."

She herself didn't want her son to enter the military camp. Although her son liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, he often won titles in his homework.

At the age of 12, he passed the examination of scholar, and in the same year, he passed the examination of Juren. If it wasn't for his son's steady behavior, when the teacher said he could take the exam at the age of ten, but he refused, he would have won the first place a long time ago.

But just because the old lady was afraid that the concubine would get the title, she dared not continue to fight with the Duke, and forced her eldest grandson to enter the military camp, so she would not marry a man today.

"Ma'am, I can't give up now."

The old nanny tried her best to persuade her, she had served Qian for decades, how could she not know that Qian also had her eyes on the title, otherwise she would not easily allow her eldest grandson to enter the military camp.

"The Duke of the country has not established a son for a long time. One is that the establishment of a concubine will cause many things, and the other is that he saw the eldest grandson enter the military camp."

She sneaked a glance at Mrs. Qian, and seeing her thoughtful look, she continued: "It is necessary for the old lady to come forward to understand the reason for the marriage, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian did not refuse the old mama's proposal, "Everything is because of the old lady, so she is naturally needed to come forward. I will definitely not let that poor boy get started."

"Madam is right." The old nanny flattered Qian while serving her: "The big house is not suitable for provoking the Duke's anger. This matter needs to be resolved by the old lady."

The master and the servant were of the same mind, no one dared to provoke the old Duke because of his title, they were all afraid that he would disregard the distinction between his son and his concubine in a fit of anger, and he would not give the title to his son for the sake of his eldest grandson.
