"What, never retreat?"
When these words were written down, everyone who read the letter jumped up.
The young girl in the white dress and red skirt was the most vocal, saying, "If Third Brother doesn't leave the frontier, how will he get married? How will he have children? How will he carry on the family line?"
She counted on her fingers as she recalled, "I've been saving all the money my aunt gave me, as well as my third brother's military pay over the years, for him to use when he gets married."
Some people couldn't help but laugh, while others gasped in shock.
So, Jiang Sheng has been saving money for Fang Heng's wedding for five years now.
The best younger sister in Chongqing!
Zheng Ruqian couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with a grin, "With Jiang Sheng taking such good care of things, it would be a shame if the third brother didn't get married soon."
The others echoed their agreement, laughing and joking together.
Only Jiang Sheng put her hands on her hips and thought fairly and justly, "Speaking of which, the eldest brother and the second brother are older, so they should have gotten married earlier than the third brother."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Zheng Ruqian, who had deliberately brought trouble upon himself, twitched the corner of his mouth. Xu Mo, who was splashed by the sparks, took two steps back. Wen Zhiyun, who was panicking, wished she could crawl under the table.
“My eldest brother is twenty years old this year. His peers have already had children. Brother Qi Huai from Fengjing is also getting engaged, and Brother An Jun’s invitations have already been sent out…” She counted on her fingers.
Xu Mo cleared his throat. "They're both older than me."
Qi Huai, "..."
An Jun, “…”
“It’s only a two-year age difference.” Zheng Ruqian quickly exposed him. “Brother, you are so handsome and dashing. It would be a shame if you didn’t have a child. I think the Dou family’s daughter is quite good. With such a large family to support you, your future career will definitely be smooth sailing.”
Then you get a killer look in return.
But as the old saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself."
Xu Mo, at the age of twenty, is far ahead of others. He was able to lead his brothers and sisters to grow up in the past, and now that he is getting married, he should set an example.
As for that meager brotherly affection, Zheng Ruqian had already strangled it in his heart.
“What the second brother said makes sense.” Xu Mo suddenly smiled. “We are only a year apart in age. Since I’ve made arrangements, you can’t miss anything. Do you remember the girl Xiangxiang who came to our door a while ago? I wonder if there’s a chance for us to become family.”
Zheng Ruqian, "..."
When it comes to judging someone's character, the current governor of Anshui County is the best example.
Why would a businessman like you offend someone who has risen through the ranks of officialdom?
He was heartbroken but could not make amends, so he could only look at his trembling fourth brother.
"Second brother, I won't marry him, I'm still too young." Wen Zhiyun quickly waved his hand, "I'm only seventeen."
talent!
How dare you say that! He's already a father at seventeen!
But if he said that, wouldn't he be selling out both twenty-year-old Xu Mo and nineteen-year-old himself?
Zheng Ruqian's eyes darted around, and finally he looked at the north with regret. "Actually, my eldest brother, the fourth brother, and I are all in the same city. Whether we get married or not is just a matter of a word. Only the third brother is the most pitiful. He is all alone on the frontier, with no one to care for him or love him."
“We would feel more at ease if there was someone by our side who cared about us,” Xu Mo rarely agreed.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding that was hard to put into words.
“I…I think so too.” Wen Zhiyun mustered her courage. “Third Brother has suffered the most. When it comes to finding a wife, Third Brother should be the first choice.”
As Jiang Sheng nodded in deep agreement, the three young men all breathed a sigh of relief.
The deep bond between brothers has now turned into fratricide.
Fortunately, Fang Laosan eventually took on all the responsibility.
Although he looked bitter upon hearing the news, his hand holding the envelope trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to do.
"General, what's going on?" Jiang Ba, being mischievous by nature, glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye. "Did the young lady bring us food again? Or did she get us new cotton-padded clothes? Or... hey, is she getting married?"
Fang Heng quickly folded the envelope and glared at it irritably.
"Good heavens, the general is getting married!" Jiang Ba exclaimed in panic. "General, you're getting married?"
The soldiers raised their voices, and in their shock, they made no attempt to hide their shock.
The gatekeepers, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er, overheard this and exclaimed in surprise, "The general is going to get married?"
"Really? The general is getting married?"
"The general is going to have a wife."
"The general not only has a wife, but he also wants to bring her to the frontier?"
Rumors spread like wildfire, quickly covering the entire camp.
The six pieces of ginger were obvious to everyone, from the guards to the uncles and aunts who washed and cooked the vegetables.
The most extravagant congratulations came from Jiang Chengyuan, who was stationed at headquarters. He rode over on horseback to offer his congratulations, saying, "Fang San, you're getting married! Congratulations! Which family's daughter is she?"
Fang Heng's face was ashen, and after a long while he gritted his teeth, "I didn't manage to marry my wife, but I'm worried about my sister."
younger sister.
Their mutual sister.
Jiang Chengyuan's expression fell. "Why isn't my sister worried about me getting married?"
"Who knows?" Fang Heng said irritably. "Maybe it's because we're not close."
Jiang Chengyuan, "..."
That night, the entire Fang family army saw General Jiang leave in a huff.
Fang Heng composed himself and made a point of clarifying in the evening that he had no intention of getting married and had no intention of becoming a general's wife.
"But General, you have to get married eventually," said an old woman washing clothes. "You're almost twenty years old; you can't do without someone who cares for you."
“I have two older brothers,” Fang Heng said through gritted teeth. “I can only have my turn after they get married.”
There is no absolute order for marriage among brothers, but the younger brother always takes precedence over the older brother, and there is no fault in this.
