The Major General's Country Wife

"Master Yun."

As soon as Yun Changsheng arrived at the Duke's mansion, he was stopped by the door, "The old lady invited Master Yun, and please follow the servant to see the old lady."

"Oh." Yun Changsheng looked up at the sky, the night sky was dotted with stars, it was already late, and he specially chose this time to come back so that he could arrange for the two goshawks to fly in the sky.

"It's getting late, don't disturb the old lady's rest."

As Yun Changsheng said, he lifted his footsteps and left, "If anyone comes to ask, just say that I will visit the old lady early tomorrow morning."

Menzi's hand was in mid-air, blocking or not, watching him leave.

"It's too courageous, even dare to disobey the old lady's order."

Menzi turned to look at the other gatekeeper. The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Things in the mansion are always spread quickly, not to mention that the Duke has no intention of concealing it. There were many people present at the announcement of the marriage last night.

The ones who couldn't hold back their tongues were the maids, as well as the nanny and some servants who were accompanying them, and now the word has spread in the mansion.

The eldest grandson was asked to marry, and he was still a poor boy from the countryside, which really surprised the people in the house and couldn't believe it.

What does the head of a mansion represent? Even a small servant in the mansion understands the gold content in it, let alone a major general who has both civil and military achievements and is praised by everyone.

How many aristocratic families in the capital, since the major general returned to the capital with the father-in-law last year, have come to visit one after another, none of them intends to marry.

It's just that they didn't expect that the charismatic major general would even miss a poor country boy, so he rushed to the door eagerly to ask for marriage.

Of course, Yun Changsheng didn't know about these things. He went out for a day, except to pick up Chang Xiao and Chang Ming, and he just wanted to hide for a day.

Let the people in the Duke's Mansion calm down, and after digesting his incident, they will not be too emotional when they meet again, so as not to make everyone faceless.

When he didn't see his eldest grandson and the marriage was not settled, Yun Changsheng avoided and pretended to be ignorant, and if he couldn't do it, he would blame others. He would not let people blame and insult him.

"Master, you are back."

As soon as Yun Changsheng entered Mingzhu Garden, Si Zhu greeted him and served him, and reported some things to him today.

"The Duke of the country sent people to send a lot of things, and there is a wooden box for the young master. The old lady and Mrs. Dafang also sent people to look for you."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng nodded, everything was as he expected, seeing Si Zhu's thin face filled with a smile, "Are you so happy?"

For a child who was originally honest and dull to become like this, it can be seen that there must be other things besides these things.

Sure enough, Si Zhu said again: "Master, the people sent by the Duke of the State said that the slave will serve you in the future, and the master will be the master after the slave."

"Hehe." Yun Changsheng laughed lightly, it seems that this is the key point, "Okay, you will follow me from now on."

He took a small box that Si Zhu handed over, opened it to look, and found a body deed, a stack of bank notes and some silver ingots inside.

At this moment, Yun Changsheng felt a little less depressed. He knew very well what the Duke's arrangement represented.

"Si Zhu, I brought two eagles with me, meet them."

Yun Changsheng went to the courtyard and called out, Chang Xiao and Chang Ming landed in response, and the two goshawks stared fiercely at the unfamiliar Si Zhu.

Si Zhu hadn't seen these before, so he took a few steps back in shock, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master, did you bring them?"

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng stroked the heads of the two goshawks and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

Immediately he told the two goshawks, "Chang Xiao, Chang Ming, don't scare Si Zhu, we will all be in this yard from now on."

Yun Changsheng looked at Si Zhu standing there not daring to move, and said again: "You don't have to be afraid, as long as no one attacks me, they won't hurt anyone."

"Oh." Si Zhu nodded his head, it was the first time he saw this thing, and he felt very scary.

But Yun Changsheng kept reassuring, and he gradually became more courageous, asking: "Master, what do they eat, so I can tell the kitchen to prepare it."

"No, they can find food on their own." Yun Changsheng didn't want them to eat the food in the house, so he refused cleanly, "They will find a place to stay by themselves, you don't need to worry about them."

Yun Changsheng looked at the sky as he said it. It was already late and he felt a little tired, "It's getting late, so you should go to bed earlier."

"I'll fetch water for the young master to wash up." Si Zhu said as he walked out, preparing things for Yun Changsheng to rest.

…………

The next day, Yun Changsheng didn't get up early, and was still asleep under the covers.

He has been on the road, he feels very tired physically, and he didn't take a good rest yesterday to catch up with the long whistle and long cry.

Today he planned to take a good rest to relieve the fatigue all over his body, but someone couldn't wait and disturbed his dream.

"Young master, young master." Si Zhu knocked on the door, and heard Yun Changsheng's questioning report in a low voice: "The old lady sent someone to invite the young master."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng lay on the bed and didn't get up, "Let people go first, I'll go over to pay my respects to the old lady after I get up."

"Yes, young master." Si Zhu agreed in a low voice, then turned and left.

Yun Changsheng lay on the bed and didn't get up, he was in a daze and had no energy. He thought of the little boy he met yesterday.

Not only did he give away a century-old ginseng tree, but he also gave him a bottle of secret medicine and a few bank notes, mainly because some things made him puzzled.

"never mind."

Yun Changsheng sighed softly, it's useless to think too much right now, he has already given what should be given, let's talk about the rest later.

"Huh?" Yun Changsheng came to the main room and saw an old mammy waiting there with two maids. He blinked in surprise, "Mama has been waiting."

"I don't dare to neglect what the old lady ordered." The old mother said something in her words, and then said subtly and without a smile: "I don't know if Master Yun is ready to go with the old slave to see the old lady .”

"Not ready." Yun Changsheng shook his head, turned around and told Si Zhu, "Get ready to wash with water. Didn't you see that my face is not washed or combed, young master?"

"Huh?" The old mother looked at Yun Changsheng when she heard this, and found that he seemed to be fine and went about his own business.

"What a poor boy who doesn't know how to behave." The old mother said in a low voice to the two maids following behind.

No matter how much she complained, Yun Changsheng turned a blind eye to it, he would not treat himself badly, after washing and tidying himself up, he went to have breakfast again.

Thinking while eating, it seems that after a day of calmness, the people in the Duke's Mansion no longer engage in petty tricks, such as delivering food.

When Yun Changsheng was going to see the old lady, the old lady already looked constipated, but she didn't dare to make things difficult for fear of delaying the old lady's affairs.

He could only secretly scold Yun Changsheng in his heart that he had no rules at all, that he could chew a flower after eating a meal, and it took so long to delay.

No matter how much he urged, he always chewed slowly, and repeatedly praised the rich and delicious food in the mansion, as if he had never eaten in his life.

"Pooh." The old mama secretly poohed in her heart. Of course, this poor boy has never eaten it, but this is also the last time he ate it.

When Yun Changsheng saw the old lady, he found that Mrs. Qian was there, and he knew in his heart that this was a showdown, "I met the old lady."

Yun Changsheng greeted him respectfully, with a well-behaved appearance, tall and tall, and a relaxed posture. If it weren't for the coarse clothes on his body, no one would have thought that he was a poor boy from the country.

"En." The old lady was uncharacteristically, she no longer looked at Yun Changsheng with a high-ranking look of disregard, but looked at Yun Changsheng lovingly.

"Sit down. It's customary to ask you to come over and ask in the mansion. If you need anything, just tell the servants. Don't be polite."

Yun Changsheng just showed a shyness on his face, and a blush climbed up his cheeks, "I'm used to it, everything in the house is fine, Mrs. Lao misses it."

"Yeah." Madam Yang glanced at Qian Shi, who was impatient and anxious, and changed the subject to gossip, "Why are you here alone, is everyone in the family okay?"

"There is no one at home." Yun Changsheng answered honestly, without a hint of impatience, and answered some of the old lady's questions truthfully.

"My family is in the countryside, with some mountains, rivers and fields. I can live a decent life. I don't spend too much money, and I don't need a few taels of silver. Everything is good, and I am self-sufficient."

Yun Changsheng spoke vaguely and didn't give much information, but the old lady and Qian didn't want to hear this at first, and didn't care what he said specifically.

The old lady: "How about the Duke's mansion, you must have seen it."

"Getting married requires a good family. Now the Duke's Mansion is an extremely human minister, and even some prosperous and famous families cannot match their power, status, and wealth."

Seeing Yun Changsheng listening carefully, the old lady smiled slightly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yeah, I understand." Yun Changsheng nodded hastily, seeing the old lady smiling brightly, her big eyes filled with excitement, "The Duke's Mansion is very rich."

"Pfft." Qian squirted out a mouthful of tea and let out a violent cough.

The old lady also frowned, and looked at Yun Changsheng with dim eyes, thinking that what she just said was playing the piano to a cow, how could such a rough and poor boy understand this.

"Then do you know what to do next?" The old lady's eyes were gloomy, and she tried her best to hold back her temper.

"I know." Yun Changsheng's smile remained undiminished, and he tangles his two fingers in embarrassment, "Boy must abide by the marriage contract."

Yun Changsheng looked at them sincerely and firmly, and said, "Don't worry, old lady, no one can stop me from marrying my eldest grandson."

He looked at the old lady's distorted face for a moment, and when she didn't get angry, he said: "I thought that a small family and a small family were not worthy of the Duke's mansion, so when I came here, I begged Duke Xu to consider this marriage carefully."

Yun Changsheng's eyes were extremely innocent, but his tone was heavy and he said, "But he doesn't agree, and he is determined not to dissolve the engagement."

"My grandfather is also a man of faith. If Xu Guogong refuses to dissolve the engagement, the boy must get married. He must never violate filial piety and morality by doing such a heartless act of remorse."

Yun Changsheng raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady and Mrs. Qian, with a bit of bitterness on the corner of his mouth, "Just like what the old lady said, the Duke's mansion is powerful, and I don't dare to disobey Duke Xu, so please ask the old lady to persuade Duke Xu to dissolve the engagement."

"Cough cough." The old lady was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, this kid didn't understand anything, he was clearly using Xu Guogong to oppress them.
