Chapter 155 Xu Rui's Peach Blossom Tribulation

Xu Muhua wrote down all the information he got from the new brother on a letter, sealed it, and handed it to Boss Feng, asking those who couldn't read to rewrite it according to the recording method they used before, so they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to read it in Hancheng.

Fortunately, the three brothers had not fallen behind in learning characters during this period, and now they can recognize many characters. As long as they are commonly used characters in life, they can generally recognize them. If they can't recognize them, they can probably guess what the characters are based on the characters before and after.

In order to ensure that there is no mistake, they obediently recorded it again. Finally, after discussion, it was decided that Boss Feng and Boss Feng would go to Hancheng, and Boss Feng would stay in Beijing.

The three agreed. Time was tight, so Boss Feng and Boss Feng set off soon.

Although Mrs. Feng was a little reluctant, she thought that even this was much better than before. Thinking of this, she became happy again.

Knowing that the eldest and third brothers Feng had already set off for Hancheng, Xu Muhua was relieved and no longer thought about this matter.

Now the atmosphere in the mansion is a little low, because after the New Year, it means that General Xu and his son Xu Rui will leave the capital and return to the border.

Not to mention the old lady and Xu's mother, even Xu Muhua, who is a half-way daughter in the shell, is a little reluctant. General

Xu and Xu Rui are also reluctant to leave, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Unless the emperor allows them to stay in the capital for a long time, no one can do anything.

Sometimes General Xu also has the idea of ​​simply handing over the military power. But when he saw his eldest son beside him, this thought was suppressed again.

He is old, it doesn't matter, but his son is still so young, without military power, he can only spend his years in vain at the border.

Unless the emperor is willing to give Rui'er a suitable position and let him stay in the capital from now on.

But at present, it seems unlikely.

They are willing to express their loyalty, but the emperor may not really believe them.

In Dayong, officials also have holidays during the New Year. Thanks to the current emperor's love of pleasure, officials now have more holidays than during the previous emperor's period. During the New Year period, from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, officials have vacation time, not to mention how cool it is.

However, some officials still have to be on duty from time to time to prevent special incidents from happening and failing to discover and deal with them in time. General

Xu was also called into the palace by the emperor from time to time, saying that the monarch and his ministers wanted to reminisce about the past.

Xu Jiang came back from the palace that day with a frown on his face.

"Why are you so sad?"

When Xu's mother came back to the house after finishing her work, she saw that her husband, who had been cheerful these days, now had a dark face, as if someone had provoked him.

Xu Jiang sighed and said, "Today when I entered the palace, the emperor mentioned Rui'er's marriage to me. It seemed to me that the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for Rui'er."

If it was an arranged marriage, who knew who the emperor would arrange the marriage for? Rui'er was the eldest son and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the Chengguo Mansion. His wife must be carefully selected. Not to mention family background, at least she should be able to take on the responsibility of the mistress.

If they were just casual, or if they assigned Rui'er a lady who was not suitable to be the housekeeper's mistress, then... not to mention that if Rui'er didn't like her, how would he live his life after marrying her?

They had already decided to carefully select the eldest daughter-in-law, but they would also consider the eldest son's opinion. If he didn't like her, they wouldn't force him to marry her.

But if the emperor arranged a marriage, then it would not be their turn, and it would not be up to Rui'er to decide whether he liked it or not.

Xu's mother's face changed, "What? Could it be that the emperor wants to arrange a marriage?"

"It sounds like that is what he meant."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, it was clearly hinted in her words, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak, and the emperor would arrange a marriage to show his favor.

But he pretended not to hear it and pushed the matter back euphemistically.

Xu's mother immediately panicked, "What should we do? If the emperor really wants to arrange a marriage for Rui'er, then... has the emperor revealed the candidate for the marriage?"

Xu Jiang shook his head.

This is the most worrying thing.

The emperor revealed his intention to arrange a marriage, but he did not mention the candidate.

In desperation, Xu's mother said, "Why don't you hurry back to the border!"

The person is gone and no longer in the capital. The emperor can't just arrange a marriage like this, right?

"If the emperor really wants to arrange a marriage, even if Rui'er returns to the border, it can't change the outcome."

"Arrange a marriage? Who is arranging a marriage? Dad, Mom, are you talking about my eldest brother?"

Xu Muhua suddenly jumped out.

Xu's mother was already worried, and she jumped out of the blue, which scared Xu's mother, and her heart was pounding.

"You kid, do you want to scare me to death? You walk without making any sound!"

"I'm sorry, mom, how would I know you and dad were whispering?"

Xu Muhua jumped in from outside, sat down next to Xu's mother and asked, "Dad, Mom, what I just heard was about my eldest brother, does the emperor want to arrange a marriage for my eldest brother?"

Since he was heard, it was not something that needed to be concealed, so General Xu did not deny it, but he also said that he was not sure, but it seemed that the emperor had this intention.

Xu Muhua frowned after hearing this, and remembered a plot in the book.

The book mentioned that the emperor did arrange a marriage for Xu Rui, but according to the timeline, it should not be now! And although the marriage was arranged, the result was not good. The woman who was arranged to marry later got into trouble and died.

It didn't cause any commotion at the time, but later someone took advantage of this incident to go to Chengguo Mansion and throw dirty water on Xu Rui, saying that Xu Rui killed the woman because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage assignment.

What's worse is that a woman jumped out at the time and admitted that she and Xu Rui were a couple at the border. They lived together at the border and even worshipped heaven and earth in the temple. The soldiers around Xu Rui called her sister-in-law. And Xu Rui killed the woman who was assigned to marry just for her.

Although it was finally proved that Xu Rui did not kill the woman at all, his reputation was ruined after all. Because he did not deny what the woman said, they were indeed a couple at the border, and he did want to marry this woman.

When the Duke Cheng's mansion was in a state of disaster, someone exposed that the woman was actually a princess from an enemy country. This was undoubtedly a double whammy for the Duke Cheng's mansion, making people more suspicious that the Duke Cheng and his son had long had ulterior motives.

Now the emperor wants to arrange a marriage, could the woman be the one mentioned in the book?

What was her name?

Xu Muhua tried hard to remember the name of the woman who was betrothed by the eldest brother in the book.

But the woman was just a passerby cannon fodder, and was only mentioned two or three times in the book, and her name was only mentioned once... It was really difficult for her to remember the names of every character who appeared in the book.
