Before Zhao Muyun left Shuozhou for the war in Weizhou, Bai Ruolan used everything in the Bai family as a dowry and expressed her love to Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun also had feelings for Bai Ruolan. He was immediately moved by her bravery and straightforwardness. He gladly accepted her proposal and said that he would hold the wedding after returning from Weizhou.
At the same time, after nearly a month of recuperation, Huan Naxue's health has gradually improved and her belly has gradually become more prominent.
Zhao Muyun thought about marrying both girls at once to give them a legitimate status.
However, after returning from Weizhou, Zhao Muyun was overwhelmed with important matters such as post-war compensation, troop rest, defense arrangements, etc., and had completely forgotten the important things in his life.
If Bai Ruolan hadn't reminded him today, he probably wouldn't have remembered it.
"Uncle, look at him, he really forgot about this. I have to remind him, and it makes me feel like I'm in such a hurry to marry you."
Bai Ruolan complained, but she was really anxious in her heart.
Her Bai family caravan had recently heard some rumors while doing business in Hedong Road, Jingxi and the capital.
It is said that the current emperor was delighted to hear that Zhao Muyun had made an unprecedented contribution by defeating the enemy and wanted to grant Zhao Muyun a marriage.
It doesn't matter where this news comes from.
When it reached Bai Ruolan's ears through the Bai family caravan, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.
Whether it was true or false, Bai Ruolan had to be on guard.
If Zhao Muyun was really granted a marriage, the person she would marry would either be a royal relative or the daughter of a high-ranking official.
She was just a businessman's daughter and had no competitiveness in front of these women of noble status.
Therefore, when Bai Ruolan heard these rumors, she hurriedly found Zhao Muyun's second uncle Zhao Wen, and urged Zhao Muyun to get married, so as to avoid any further complications.
"Ruolan, I promise you, we'll have the wedding before this military training class starts."
Zhao Muyun also knew he was in the wrong, so he said seriously, "It's just right that a bunch of old brothers are coming over, so we can have some fun together."
"However, we just finished a war, so this wedding shouldn't be too extravagant. It should be held on a small scale. We don't want to alarm too many people."
Zhao Wen continued, "Xiao Yun, you are a lieutenant of the Seven Prefectures after all. Your wedding shouldn't be too shabby. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Miss Bai's sincerity?"
"Uncle, what's going on here?" Zhao Muyun pouted. "I don't mean to disrespect Miss Bai."
Seeing the two uncles and nephews arguing about her marriage, Bai Ruolan quickly said, "Uncle, it doesn't matter. I agree to anything."
"Look how understanding Miss Bai is. For your career, she's worked tirelessly to help you manage your finances and business. Marriage, the most important thing in life, she's even considered you in every way!" Zhao Wen pursed his beard and glared, "Our Zhao family is so grateful that you got such a good wife."
"Second Uncle, please stop talking about him like that! Brother Yun has a heavy responsibility and is busy with military affairs. It's not easy for him to find time to get married. I don't blame him!"
Bai Ruolan said slowly.
"He's the only one busy, aren't we? He's responsible for the finances of the four prefectures. Some time ago, he was fighting in Weizhou, and it was you, Miss Bai, who worked hard in the rear to ensure his food and grass supply."
"And I'm the only one who handles all the paperwork, big and small, in the various offices. Asking him to assign me a few followers is like asking for his life."
"I'm his second uncle. People who don't know me would think I'm his slave!"
Zhao Wen took the opportunity to complain.
"Second uncle, if you feel that there are too many things to do and you are too tired, then go back to Zhaojiazhuang to teach!" Zhao Muyun retorted.
"Niece-in-law, look at him, he really makes me mad. You have to help me discipline him." Zhao Wen shouted.
Bai Ruolan couldn't figure out whether the quarrel between the uncle and nephew was true or not, and said blankly: "You are his elder and you can't discipline him, how can I do it?"
"Niece-in-law, let me tell you a way. You should visit your mother-in-law more often in the future..." Zhao Wen blinked.
"Oh, I understand. Thank you, second uncle!" Bai Ruolan was very kind and understood things immediately.
Zhao Muyun shook his head helplessly: "Second Uncle, are you still my uncle? I think I'll find you an aunt to take care of you!"
"No, your uncle is used to being alone!" Zhao Wen immediately shook his head. "My dear nephew, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"Then why are you urging me?"
"We are different! In short, your marriage to Miss Bai must be done as soon as possible and seriously. Don't let Miss Bai feel wronged, understand?"
Zhao Wen said in a serious tone.
Zhao Muyun looked at Bai Ruolan and said solemnly: "Don't worry, marriage is a major event in my life, I won't let Ruolan suffer any grievances."
"Second Uncle, how about I give you seven days off so you can go back to Zhaojiazhuang?"
Zhao Wen was stunned and asked anxiously, "Why are you letting me take a break for no reason? You really don't want me to go home? Can you handle all the government affairs while I'm gone?"
It can be seen that he enjoyed everything that Zhao Muyun brought him after his promotion.
Although he was only an employee of the Pinglu Commandery and his official rank was not high at all, he was extremely respected by others.
Because he was Zhao Muyun's second uncle, the prefects and captains were all very polite to him when they saw him.
Half a year ago, he was still a failed scholar and a private school teacher in Zhaojiazhuang.
"You are my elder, and I would like to ask you to go back to Zhaojiazhuang and help me prepare for the wedding." Zhao Muyun said lightly.
"You mean, you're planning to hold a banquet at the manor?" Zhao Wen finally reacted and his face immediately became excited.
"That's right, Zhaojiazhuang is my home. If I marry my wife, why don't I return to Zhaojiazhuang? Will I stay in Shuozhou City?"
Zhao Muyun smiled slightly, "Shuozhou is Ruolan's hometown!"
