The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 474: The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (2)
Jiang Qi rode home, and his widowed mother was already waiting at the door. Several neighbors came out from time to time to greet him. He responded politely one by one.
"Mother, why did you come out to greet me? You just recovered from your illness, what if it relapses?!" Jiang Qi hurriedly dismounted to support Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother's face was full of excitement.
"My son, mother finally waited for you." Jiang's mother raised her hand to wipe her wet eyes. Her son had been away for three years since he went to join the army. During these three years, she had been looking forward to his return day and night. She finally waited for him to come back.
"Mother, what are you talking about? My son will not leave in the future." Jiang Qi supported his widowed mother, bowed and thanked the neighbors, and then they both lowered their heads and entered the wooden gate.
He grew up here since he was a child, and the neighbors watched him grow up. He joined the army at the age of thirteen, and it has been three years now, but these neighbors still treat him the same as before. His mother's serious illness was also thanks to their care. He only regretted that he had not yet made achievements and could not repay them.
"Are you really not leaving in the future?" Jiang's mother shook with excitement as she held her son's hand.
"No." Jiang Qi helped his mother sit down and said softly, "I am grateful to General Qi for his appreciation of me. My son is now a member of the Qi Family Army."
"General Qi? Which General Qi?" Jiang's mother was excited. She couldn't imagine that the famous General Qi would find that her son was the only one who could be cultivated among so many soldiers.
"It's the General Qi you know." Jiang Qi and his mother looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Since General Qi appreciates you, you should work hard. Don't let him down for promoting and cultivating you." Jiang's mother patted his hands heavily a few times, then stood up with the help of the table and walked to the stove. "After Niu Er next door read your letter to me, I went to Aunt Li's house at the head of the village to borrow buckwheat noodles and rolled buckwheat noodles for you. Now that you are back, eat a big bowl of buckwheat noodles peacefully. Work hard in the future."
Jiang Qi's eyes were moist. No matter where he is, home is always the most entangled place.
In another three years, he believes that he will be able to achieve something.
At that time, he will demolish this firewood room and renovate it, and then marry a daughter-in-law to honor his mother.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the masked girl crying on the bridge today. I don't know if she will meet her lover in three years.
Three years passed in a flash, and his marriage was inevitable. But he has not been able to do anything big, and he is still just a poor boy. No girl is willing to marry him. In other words, no girl from a good family would marry him. His mother's last few black hairs turned white because of his lifelong event.
He thought, at worst, he would not get married in this life. He just wanted to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. But every time he went home, his mother's eyes were so sad, so sad that he didn't dare to mention it at all. Gradually, he went home less and less.
When he went home again, his mother excitedly told him that the matchmaker came to tell him that the daughter of a wealthy family had taken a fancy to him and was willing to marry him.
He didn't dare to think about the daughter of a wealthy family. But as long as his mother was happy, the person he would marry would be anyone. He promised his mother and asked her to tell the matchmaker that as long as the lady didn't despise his poor family, he would be willing.
Qi Weiben liked Wei Xinwen, a talented man from Kyoto, to be his son-in-law, but his precious daughter was not interested in Wei Xinwen at all.
He felt that Wei Xinwen came from a wealthy family, was a steady person, had a good way of dealing with the world, and had outstanding talents, but his daughter felt that Wei Xinwen was superficial and could not be trusted. He had always been unable to compete with his own daughter, so he could only let her go.
He had an impression of Jiang Qi. But when he really went to the house, he was still a little shocked.
Jiang Qi's family only had a widowed mother and a wood room. The wood room was simply furnished with a stove, a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a wooden chair, that's all. But even so, it was cleaned up. It can also be seen that the family style is upright. Originally, there were nine points of disagreement, but now it has become seven points. But his daughter's face did not change, and she didn't seem to care about such a bare house.
Yes, his daughter is naturally not an ordinary woman. Thinking back to the days when he was young, he had nothing, but her mother still resolutely married him.
Well. Since it was her own choice, let her go. But on the surface, he still had to show dissatisfaction.
Jiang Qi was called back home by the matchmaker to look at the young lady. He imagined what the young lady looked like all the way. He never believed that there was a good thing that fell from the sky. The young lady might be ugly, old, vulgar, or strong, there was always one thing that could not be tolerated.
He thought that the young lady of a wealthy family would be a fat, vulgar, and old woman, but when he saw General Qi and his precious daughter standing side by side at the door of his house, he was stunned. The young lady of a wealthy family would be General Qi's daughter. No one dared to believe such a thing! He was simply blessed with a good fortune.
He and General Qi had known each other for a long time and knew that his rule was strict, so even if he looked at him expressionlessly, he did not feel guilty.
But what he did not expect was that General Qi did not agree to marry his daughter to him at all. Miss Qi took the initiative to find a matchmaker and arranged all this. But General Qi loved his daughter and had to agree to it, hoping that he would not let his daughter down in the future.
Where can you find a daughter-in-law with such a good family background, good looks, and gentle temperament? His mother immediately took Miss Qi's hand and called her daughter-in-law. But he had doubts in his heart. He was just a poor boy. What was there for Miss Qi to like?
He deliberately found an opportunity to ask her, she smiled and picked a wild flower and stuffed it into her hand without saying a word.
If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. Since she is willing to marry him, it is his blessing. He will certainly not make her suffer forever. Even if he has to earn it with his life, he will earn her out of her original living environment. He accepted the flowers and agreed to this marriage from the bottom of his heart.
Because of the poverty of the family, all the supplies for the wedding were arranged by the Qi family, and all the expenses were naturally paid by the Qi family. He only attended the banquet as a groom.
The banquet was held according to the specifications and standards, but many dignitaries participated. There were laughter and chatter while toasting. But he knew that these deputy generals and officials who smiled and congratulated him at the banquet were either laughing, mocking or despising him in their hearts. But he, Jiang Qi, will not be poor forever!
He, Jiang Qi, will use his actions and merits to prove that he is a useful person. General Qi is willing to marry his daughter to him because he knows talent, and Miss Qi is willing to marry him because she has a unique vision.
His ambition was truly exercised on the wedding night.
He believes that he can do it.
Jiang Qi, keep fighting!
