Liang Zhijun was in a complicated mood: "So, they forced you to marry Tong Sinian?"
Ling Jihao quickly shook his head: "No, no, they didn't say anything and just let me go.
I felt guilty, so I asked someone to help keep an eye on the Tong family.
Then she found out that Si Nian's fiancé broke off the engagement with her because Uncle Tong was injured.
The neighbors even said that Tong Sinian had a bad fate and would bring bad luck to his father.
"So, you feel guilty about her?"
"A little bit, but I admire her tenacity in the face of adversity even more."
Ling Jihao talked about his chance encounter with Tong Sinian.
That was half a year after Tong Guitang returned home. They won a battle and had a seven-day holiday.
Ling Jihao bought some things to visit Tong Guitang, but met Tong Sinian who was selling wontons at a stall in the town.
Faced with the advice of passers-by, she turned a deaf ear and a blind eye.
She served food to the guests with a smile, and her conversation was not as straightforward as the village girls. She sounded quite knowledgeable.
Ling Jihao asked around and found out that the Tong family had been prosperous in the past.
Later, due to some reasons, they failed and the family of three settled in the village.
Because his family was well-off when he was young, Tong Sinian attended a private school for a few years.
She was very talented and her grades were even better than those of her classmates who later passed the imperial examination and became scholars.
Unfortunately, as a girl, she could not take the imperial examination. However, because of her outstanding ability, she was noticed by a wealthy man in the village and was engaged to him.
Now that her engagement was broken off, her life became even more difficult. However, she did not complain about life, but tried her best to find a way out.
Ling Jihao felt that he had some admiration for this girl. After a while, he fell in love with her.
Liang Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
She could accept that she wasn't asking for favors, and she was thankful that she wasn't a country bumpkin.
But, looking at the armor my son is wearing, he is at least a general.
Do you really want to marry a woman without any status?
Liang Zhijun was a little unwilling, and Ling Jihao continued: "Mom, I've finally been moved, please grant my wish!
My son also wants to live in harmony with his second brother and his wife."
Liang Zhijun shuddered and turned her gaze to Chi Xingyue.
I thought that sometimes you really can't judge a person by their appearance. That girl doesn't sound like a simple person.
"I know mother wants to help her son find a helper, but her status is low and she is not worthy of those young ladies from aristocratic families.
In addition, his son was born into a military family, so he would have to go to the battlefield soon.
I think those spoiled daughters can't bear the pain of separation from their husbands."
Liang Zhijun sighed and felt that what Ling Jihao said made sense.
Nodding, "Okay, Mom will send someone to find out.
If it's really as good as you say, I will propose to you after the New Year.
I will try to get you married before you return to the barracks."
"Mother~"
Ling Jihao let out a coquettish cry, scaring Chi Xingyue so much that goose bumps appeared all over her body.
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Others felt the same way, the contrast was huge.
Ling Jiren also used this opportunity to avoid the embarrassing issue of disfigurement.
The old lady asked Aunt Taohua to serve the food, and a group of people sat in the hall and continued chatting.
It was only then that I learned that the two had entered the palace.
One was conferred the title of fifth-rank General Wulue, and the other was conferred the title of fourth-rank General Xuanwu.
It can be said that the scenery is endless.
However, the Ling family knew that behind this were real lives.
Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao have gone through life and death several times before achieving what they have today.
If they had a choice, they would rather the two of them live in mediocrity than risk their lives to earn a bright future.
The old lady stroked the two people's identity tokens, her eyes full of pride.
He turned around and said to the old man, "When we burn incense, we must tell our ancestors this good news. The descendants of our Ling family are indeed promising!"
"Yes, in front of us is Xingyue, the Princess of Le'an County, and behind us are Generals Xuanwu and Wulue.
Our Ling family has completely changed its appearance!"
The old man asked someone to bring some wine, and he would not go home until he was drunk tonight.
Ling Weiyuan and Ling Weicun were even more proud and couldn't wait to go out and show off tonight that their sons were young generals of the fourth rank (fifth rank).
Geng Suhua and Liang Zhijun stole a glance at Shu Muyun and saw that she had a bright smile and no jealousy at all, which made them feel that they were being a little petty.
Yes, although Ling Jiheng did not hold any official position, he won the title of Jieyuan at a young age and had a bright future.
There is really no need to envy, be jealous or hate the two heads hanging on the belt.
Through chatting, the Ling family also learned that Ji Ke was now a captain, guarding the southernmost part and had not returned.
There are also Cao Dashan, Song Yuangen and others who have great prospects.
They were just scattered, some in Tongzhou in the west and some in Jianzhou in the south.
Although they were thousands of miles apart, they were all alive and well, with no missing arms or legs.
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two, "How long can you stay at home?"
"Early summer, to see if the situation stabilizes."
Originally, Zhou Chengyu planned to attack Qiongzhou Island in one fell swoop, but suddenly he received an order from Emperor Zhou to call off his troops.
Zhou Chengyu vaguely guessed what Emperor Zhou meant, but he was not quite sure.
But it doesn’t matter. After being out for so long, it’s time to go back and find a sense of existence.
This will prevent his uncles from forgetting him, the eldest grandson of the emperor.
While chatting and laughing, the table full of food was cleared away.
Chi Xingyue yawned and was helped out by Baozhu.
The old lady's eyes flashed, and she asked Shu Muyun to follow and see.
I continued to inquire about interesting things in the military camp.
The atmosphere in Rongsiyuan was not affected at all, but Chi Xingyue felt a little dizzy.
I didn't wake up until I was sent back to my room, and I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
Shu Muyun was surprised for a moment, then pulled Baozhu to ask what was going on.
Baozhu glanced at Chi Xingyue, then at Shu Muyun: "Second Madam, please don't embarrass me. It's not a bad thing anyway. You'll know in a couple of days."
Shu Muyun raised his eyebrows and went back to his room.
Before going to bed, I chatted with Ling Weicheng and thought about many possibilities, but I didn't dare to bring up my grandchildren.
I always feel that I may not have that fate.
Ling Weicheng comforted her: "Baozhu said it's not a bad thing. You, don't overthink it.
Didn't Ji Hao say he was planning to propose marriage? It won't be long before our Ling family has a wedding.
When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to worry about it."
Shu Muyun sighed, showing off with a hint of complaint: "See, this family really can't do without me.
I don’t know where my brother-in-law and his wife are planning to hold the ceremony.”
Ling Weicheng really didn’t know this.
Although the Ling family did not split into households, they did split up the family after all.
Although they still live together, the house belongs to Ling Jiheng.
It seems inappropriate for the third child's family to hold a wedding banquet here.
He didn't mind, but he was afraid that his third brother would have a grudge.
"Just ask them when the time comes."
Be decent here and be honest in the small house bought by Ling Weicun.
Either is fine, it depends on what the third brother and his wife think.
And just like that, the couple fell asleep while chatting.
Chi Xingyue woke up after sleeping for less than an hour.
Looking at the dark roof, he slipped into the space.
