Chapter 451 This is a good girl
The convoy entered the city and booked the best inn.
Bai Wutong dressed up, put on a veil hat, and went out with Chan'er.
It is dark now, but there are still many people on the street.
Different from the prosperous capital, this place is more simple, and the people coming and going on the streets also have a rough air.
Bai Wutong found a teahouse that looked pretty good and sat down.
While waiting for the tea to be served, I heard the sound of conversation nearby.
"Have you heard? Vice General Zhang is getting married!"
"Is it me who knows that Deputy General Zhang?"
"Yes, it's him! I still remember how he stood guard at the gate of the city wall! He seemed to be some great figure in the capital, and he came to the border purely to hone himself. I didn't expect that he would marry one of our women!"
"What kind of woman is so lucky? Could she be the daughter of a general?"
"No, she is just a soldier's daughter."
…
Bai Wutong listened to their discussions and couldn't help but curl her lips. This was her son.
Each of her four children is so good and none of them gives her any worries.
Most importantly, they are all sincere to each other and there is no barrier between them.
Chan'er helped her pour the wine and couldn't help but smile, "My queen, listen, they are all praising the Fourth Prince!"
"Yes, I heard you. Didn't I tell you that when you come out, don't call me Madam. Just call me Madam."
"Yes, ma'am."
The food was served quickly.
Chan'er and Yingchun helped to serve the food.
Bai Wutong slowed down his eating pace and listened to the discussions in the teahouse.
Although they talked mostly about family matters, the sense of worldliness was what she longed for.
She likes this feeling very much.
After dinner, Bai Wutong returned to the inn, had a comfortable sleep, and set out again early the next morning.
After passing through this city, you will reach the border.
There are not many people living in the border areas. Most of them moved away due to previous wars. Those who remain here now either cannot move away, want to do business, or have sons or husbands serving in the army here.
They hope that their men can come home and have a hot meal, so that even if they die on the battlefield one day, they will not regret it.
No matter what, if you have tried your best to get along with each other and treat each other well during life, you will have no regrets after death.
When Bai Wutong stepped into the last city on this frontier, he clearly felt something different. There were soldiers everywhere.
Fortunately, she had prepared the documents in advance and was able to enter smoothly.
She did not go to find Yunyang immediately, but took Yingchun and Chan'er to the woman's home first.
The other party was just an ordinary citizen. He had a small courtyard that looked very old and was home to three generations of his family.
Grandmother, grandfather, parents, and a son and a daughter.
Because the only son joined the army, three generations of the family chose to stay here.
As soon as Bai Wutong arrived, the door of the courtyard opened.
A woman who looked a little dark-skinned but bright and sunny came out. She was not as particular about rules as the noble ladies in the capital. She supported her mother and spoke in a carefree manner.
"Mom, I'm getting married in two months. I've already made an agreement with Yangzi that if we can give birth to a few more sons, we'll adopt one of them."
"Is this possible? Will his family agree? And didn't you say that his family is very special? Whose child is this Yangzi from Beijing? Don't make a promise here, what if the other party changes his mind?"
The middle-aged woman spoke very slowly, and you could tell she had a gentle personality and thought a lot.
I guess he's been thinking too much about his daughter's marriage recently, so he doesn't look very well and his face looks like he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
The woman blinked, obviously feeling a little guilty. "Mom, I actually don't know whose family Yoko belongs to. I asked him, and he said he would tell me after the wedding, saying he didn't want to scare me. But don't worry about one thing, his family has agreed. Yoko wrote a letter agreeing to our marriage."
The middle-aged woman sighed, "But I'm always worried. How can I get married without knowing the background?"
"There's nothing to worry about. This is in the frontier, not somewhere else. Even if he really runs away one day, I'll just marry him again. Anyway, we both have to go to the battlefield. One more day is one more day. Let's live as happily as we can!"
"You..." The middle-aged woman was completely at a loss and sighed, "Children are all debts!"
The folk customs here in the capital are much simpler than those in Beijing. Because every household has people serving in the army, they attach great importance to incense.
Even if a woman is divorced or a widow, there will still be people who come to marry her.
Bai Wutong followed the two quietly, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but chuckle.
This girl is quite interesting.
With an open mind, people never consider trivial matters such as family life or love affairs, but rather national affairs.
Even after getting married, they still want to go to the battlefield. Only children from the frontier would have such awareness.
But isn’t this also a kind of sadness…
If one day there is no war and there is peace, who would have such an idea?
It’s a pity that even Yunhe is powerless in many things. The only thing he can do is to make everything in Darong Kingdom get better slowly. It is not easy to rule a country. You can't become rich overnight.
"This girl is pretty good. I feel relieved. Let's go and find Yunyang."
The three finally arrived at the military camp.
As soon as Yunyang heard the news, he rushed out, "Mother! Why are you here!"
He was very surprised, because the last letter she sent from the capital never mentioned that she would come in person.
"I was there when your brother and sister got married, so how could I leave you out? I just went to the home of the girl you like, and they don't know who you are yet, which is not good. Only when they know everything about you can their parents feel at ease. How about this, you ask their parents to come over today, and we can have a meal together and talk."
Yunyang rubbed his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Mother, you won't look down on them, will you?"
Although I agreed in the letter, actually meeting in person is another matter.
He also knew that the wife he valued was different from the women in the capital.
He liked this difference, but in the eyes of the elders in the capital, it was probably considered unpresentable and a betrayal of the orthodox teachings.
"No, don't worry. I won't act like a queen mother outside. Besides, I don't know how many years it will take for you to return to the capital. Mother is not the kind of person who would break up a couple. As long as you like her and she's a good girl, that's fine."
Bai Wutong stretched out his finger and poked his forehead, "I'm just afraid that you'll be cheated, you know?"
Yunyang finally felt relieved and smiled brightly, revealing his big white teeth. "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight! Mother, where do you live? I'll take you there."
"No, I want to go see where you usually live first."
"This... isn't this bad?" Yun Yang was somewhat reluctant. He didn't want Bai Wutong to know the situation in the military camp.
After he came to the border, he had always concealed his identity. Although it was inevitable that rumors spread that his identity was not ordinary, it had never been truly exposed.
So he has been eating and sleeping with these soldiers. If Bai Wutong knew about this, he would be very heartbroken.
"You go back first, I'll find someone else to take us in."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Hehe, I'm still training with my brothers. It's not good to be out for too long. Wait for me to take a day off tomorrow and accompany my mother to have a good stroll here!"
After saying that, Yunyang quickly ran into the military camp.
Not long after, the general promoted by Bai Wutong himself came. When he saw that it was really her, he immediately knelt down to salute.
If Bai Wutong had not appreciated him, how could he, a commoner, have climbed to his current position?
"No need to salute. I concealed my identity this time. Just say I am a distinguished guest. Don't let other soldiers know about my relationship with Yunyang. This will easily have a bad influence on him. By the way, just call me Madam."
