A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Chapter 40 General Chen's Analysis of Pros and Cons and Parents' Expression of Love

Because of the old concubine, Mrs. Li's flower viewing party ended without a problem. What Baoyu heard last time was just rumors.However, General Chen's wife has been looking for a good wife for her son these days. Unexpectedly, he has been lacking in interest, but she is a person who has been there, and after a little check at breakfast, she knows that her son must have a sweetheart.It's just that I don't know what kind of person it is. It would be bad if a girl who is not self-respecting seduces her son. Even if it is the daughter of a wealthy family, giving and receiving privately is a big taboo.

Mrs. Chen was thinking carefully, but she saw General Chen walking in. General Chen's name was Peng and his name was Ling Xiao. He was one of the people who had good friends with Lin Ruhai that day.When he saw Mrs. Chen, he saw that she was still sitting on the couch and meditating. There were many portraits of other people's daughters in front of him. In the draft, it is difficult for people like us to talk about marriage within a few months."

Mrs. Chen smiled: "I don't know this yet. It's just that we first choose a good family and make a tacit agreement. As soon as the days of national filial piety are over, we will come to propose marriage. If we don't plan early, the daughter of a good family will be robbed by others." gone."

General Chen said: "No need, I heard at the court meeting today that the emperor meant to marry our son, do you have any favorites?"

Mrs. Chen said: "Our son is not very enlightened. I just looked at two girls. One is Yu Minzhi, the granddaughter of Mr. Yu Ge, and the other is Wu Yuzhu, the niece of Concubine Wu, who I found by myself. Not like the nouveau riche of their family, but you also know that the third prince born by Concubine Wu Gui is deeply loved by the emperor. Besides, I met two girls the day before yesterday. I didn't say that although Miss Yu is good-looking, she has a gentle temper. If something happens to our son on the battlefield in the future, we may not be able to suppress it, but Wu Yuzhu is a good girl, with a dashing and lavish personality, she really is a good bamboo shoot."

Who would have thought that General Chen shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said: "You are really a woman's opinion, what do you think the emperor treats me and my son?"

Mrs. Chen smiled complacently: "Although the master is in the capital now, the emperor still trusts the master the most. Besides, there is a lot of smoke and clouds in all directions, and there is no shortage of the master in Mobei. Our son checks some information about the southern water battle every day and pretends that I don't know? I Seeing that my son is about to leave the master and take sole control of the military, I am so anxious to find a wife for my son because I want to embrace my grandson as soon as possible. Otherwise, when you come back from the war, it will be a year of the monkey. The master and I just get together Li Duo, the master is over half a hundred years old and actually only has Yun'er as his son, I have to learn a lesson, find a good wife and have a grandson as soon as possible while I'm idle in the capital."

General Chen said: "Madam is wise, I must go to Mobei. Although the military power of the Southern Navy was snatched by the Nan'an County King and others, the Emperor must be filial to the Supreme Emperor so that he does not hurt his heart. He agreed. It is just that the Supreme Emperor is afraid. I forgot, these honorable men today are no longer those generals who conquered the world back then. They have not learned any of the skills of their ancestors, but they are all proficient in sneaking. Fortunately, this time the navy is playing the vanguard from their own family, the emperor I also kept my confidants as lieutenants, otherwise I am really afraid that they will embarrass our Celestial Dynasty."

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "This is not right, why should my husband sigh."

Chen Pengdao: "You don't know, when I was young, I saw the majesty of the four kings and eight princes. Back then, the Taizu only occupied half of the country, and when they returned from attacking those remnants, they looked like gods of war, so I determined to be a general. Yes. I didn’t expect that there are only three generations, and the descendants will be inferior to each other.”

Mrs. Chen said: "It's just that what does this have to do with us looking for a wife?"

General Chen said: "In the war now, the emperor relies heavily on us. After the battle is over, we will be in charge of the military. Three people will become tigers in the melon fields and plums. We should be more careful. If we get married with Mr. Yu Ge, we will marry each other with one piece of paper and one weapon. Don't worry, my son doesn't have to want to lead the army anymore. On the other side of Concubine Wu, even if the third prince makes the emperor care about it, it's just that the emperor is in the prime of life, so it doesn't mean that the third prince will be proud of it in the future. We should also think about it for the younger generations. According to my idea , either we find some high-ranking but not very powerful people, or we simply wait for the emperor to designate marriage. So I want to ask you, does your son have any sweethearts, so as not to become a bitter couple in the future. Look at the four princes and eight princes back then Among them, only the Prince of Beijing attaches great importance to the selection of his daughter-in-law. Therefore, after the death of the former King of Beijing, the current concubine voluntarily gave up the military power, but was favored by the emperor and became the only person who everyone talked about. It can be seen that, We can't ignore the role of female relatives, I usually lead soldiers outside, and my son's success today is all thanks to his wife's hard work."

Mrs. Chen was very excited when she heard Chen Peng's affirmation of her contribution. She did not expect her husband, who is usually not sweet-talking at all, to say such a thing. She said: "Today I feel that my son seems to have a sweetheart, but Since he doesn't say anything, we don't need to ask more questions. We only hope that the son's sweetheart will meet the emperor's requirements, otherwise we can only beat the mandarin ducks."

As soon as General Chen heard this, he ordered someone to call Chen Yun directly. He is good at war. Although he can see the intrigue in court clearly, he never has the patience to go around the corner. He always goes straight. What's wrong with Chen Yun being his own son? Asked.

When Chen Yun came over, General Chen explained the pros and cons to Chen Yun, and then said to Chen Yun: "I heard from your mother that you are out of mind these few days, your mother and I have both been here, do you have a sweetheart? "

Chen Yun was overjoyed at this time, he originally wanted to tell his mother to ask someone to go directly to Jia's mansion to propose marriage to Miss Lin, but Miss Lin's parents died, and she was one of the five unmarried. In fact, there is not much real power. Marriage is a good thing between two surnames, and it cannot be all based on one's own temperament.Besides, it was my love at first sight, and I didn't know if Miss Lin was in love, so I was still hesitating. After hearing what my father said, I felt that Miss Lin and I were a match made in heaven. Miss Lin was tailor-made by my father for my father's requirements. Although her father is high and powerful, she has actually passed away long ago, so naturally she has nothing to do with various forces.Although I was still worried that Miss Lin would have a sweetheart, but if I didn't say anything, I'm afraid the emperor would have to designate the marriage at will, how can I hesitate at this time.He hurriedly told his parents.

When General Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "My boy, I thought you were not enlightened, but I didn't expect that you really have a sweetheart. You are indeed my son, Chen Peng."

Mrs. Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. The relationship between the Lin family and her family used to be very good. In the matter of her husband taking charge of the army, Lin Ruhai was still on the side of support. It just broke.Although I have never seen that girl, just by looking at the maid who came to give gifts last year, I can see that she must be a pure and strong girl. After her parents passed away, she knows how to visit family friends and contact relatives and friends. It can be seen that she is the wife of her family. Don't be rude to people either.

It's just that when her son got in touch with such a boudoir girl, Mrs. Chen asked suspiciously: "You didn't have anything unreasonable with that girl, did you?"

Chen Yun was annoyed and said: "Mom, what are you thinking, I met Miss Lin by chance when I accompanied you to Hanmei Temple that day." Then he narrated the situation that day.

After listening to Chen Yun's narration, General Chen and Mrs. Chen were also heartbroken by Daiyu's speech.Chen Peng laughed first and said, "I didn't expect it to be our son's unrequited love." Mrs. Chen thought more, and said: "You all know that Miss Lin has neither parents nor brothers, and I don't think the relative in Rongguo Mansion is either. Alright, I made up my mind today, she is our family's wife, son, you can't rely on your whim."

Chen Yun shyly said: "Don't blame my son for being reckless, he has already investigated quietly, even if his son and daughter love each other, he will not forget the burden on me as the son of the Chen family. Although Miss Lin lives in Rongguo Mansion, hearing He is very lenient in speaking, and he is very capable in taking care of the dowry left by his mother, but he is not greedy for money. We all know that a ruined family like Rongguo Mansion is good-looking on the face, but not good on the inside. Besides, those daughters are not The concubine is from the Ningguo Mansion, which has a worse reputation. Such a concubine will wait to sell money in the future, so she will take good care of it. The money Miss Lin gets every month is donated to the sisters in various names Woolen cloth."

General Chen and Mrs. Chen saw that what their son said was so clear, there was nothing wrong with it, what's more, it happened to meet their wishes.On the second day, General Chen entered the palace and quietly asked the emperor for an order. The emperor never thought that General Chen could understand his concerns like this. It can be seen that he was really loyal to him, but he felt a little guilty, and asked: "Don't you want to Are you married to those wealthy families? Although I want to treat Lin Aiqing's daughter generously, I won't wrong you, General?"

General Chen responded: "I am an official in the same dynasty as Lord Lin, and they are loyal to the emperor together. Lord Lin is a man and a minister. I admire him very much. It is a blessing to have his daughter as a daughter-in-law. How could there be any grievances? What's more, the minister My son himself also has a crush on Miss Lin, and is hoping that the emperor will make her come true."

The emperor was very surprised, asked, and learned about the encounter between Chen Yunmeiyuan and Daiyu, he said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a match made in heaven, I made it perfect, when the country's filial piety passes, I will propose marriage, don't worry, I will not wrong Aiqing Yes." Then he quietly expressed to General Chen that he would mention Daiyu's identity, and Chen Peng hurriedly kowtowed to Tianen, knowing that the matter was settled.

After Xia Chao returned home, he told Mrs. Chen and Chen Yun.Mrs. Chen said: "When the country's filial piety passes, it will be around the summer Dragon Boat Festival. I will also hold a poetry meeting at that time, and see if this beautiful girl has a son as you said. By the way, I will also find out for my daughter. Don't you kill two birds with one stone?" Chen Yun was ashamed to sweat on his usually calm face, but he was very happy in his heart.He secretly planned to find his younger sister when he got back, and his younger sister would definitely know Ms. Lin by then, and she could also say something nice to him and find out what Ms. Lin liked.

The author has something to say: It was hard to figure out how to make Lin Daiyu have a reasonable excuse to be married to the male lead.I haven’t updated it all the time because I went to ERP. The paper requested by the teacher is too difficult. I’m sorry everyone, I will try my best to update it.
