There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
General Niu stopped, looked at General Wang, and laughed, "You don't mean you're short of money to buy medicine and are thinking of exchanging your godson for it, do you?"
General Wang hadn't thought of that. "How could that be? I just think the two of them are quite suitable."
General Wang pointed at Gao Yingjie and said, “This is the child I picked up. Although I haven’t formally recognized him as my godson, he reads books and practices martial arts just like my son. It’s not that I look down on him, but that I’m afraid of implicating him. As you know, we military officers can easily be accused of treason if we are not careful.”
General Niu looked at Gao Yingjie and thought he was alright. "Alright, I'll pass on the message to you."
Thanks.
"You're welcome."
Grandpa Sisi was busy when General Niu arrived with General Wang and Gao Yingjie.
General Niu first introduced the two sides. After the introductions, General Niu told Sisi's grandfather that General Wang had come with two purposes: one was to buy medicine, and the other was to propose marriage to the Yun family.
After hearing this, Grandpa Sisi thought the same thing as General Niu: Could it be that this guy is trying to exchange his godson for medicine because he doesn't have the money to buy it?
Seeing the look in Sisi's grandfather's eyes, General Wang quickly had the silver brought over. He then hurriedly said that even if Gao Yingjie and Yun Qingmei got together, he would still pay for the medicine.
More than half a month later, Sisi had just returned from outside when Fengchan told her that Yun Qingmei was getting engaged. "Your eldest aunt wants you to go back and give your eighth aunt some advice. How could a little kid like you have that ability?"
Sisi wasn't interested in chess or anything like that; she just wanted to play chess, and she wanted to play with people who liked playing chess with her.
