Chapter 152: The General's Mansion is bustling with activity
"Go ahead, Master will pick you up tomorrow." Dean Chen waved his hand.
Ye Qianning smiled and nodded, lowering the car curtain.
Dean Chen stared at the departing carriage for a long time without moving. What a genius, what a genius, her academic ability is divine, and she is only six years old.
With such achievements, she has a bright future, but it's a pity that she is the daughter of an official.
The daughters of court officials were all registered, and even their parents had no say in their marriages, let alone the fact that she was the daughter of a general.
There was no such regulation in Beili before, but this decree has been in place since the current emperor ascended the throne.
Girls can get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and when they reach the marriageable age, they have to obtain the emperor's approval before marrying a wife. This is the most helpless thing for the children of court officials.
His little disciple yearns for freedom and is very open-minded. Officials of all sizes in Kyoto, no matter how honest they are, have many things to deal with, and she is not suitable for it.
Although she was only six years old, she had to deal with it in advance.
General's Mansion
The gate of the general's mansion was bustling with activity early in the morning. Knowing that today was a day off, Zhan Chi could not resist his mother's pleading and brought her to the general's mansion.
The two of them followed the servant and saw the Gu family's carriage arrive before they even entered the house.
There was a group of servants following the carriage, and two of them were carrying a big red box, which made Zhan Chi and Madam Zhan a little confused.
"What's going on with the Gu family? Doesn't the Xiang family have any adult children?" Seeing the big red box, Mrs. Zhan went ahead to propose marriage.
Zhan Chi shook his head and stared at the Gu family's carriage. He wondered what the Gu family wanted to do.
Mr. Gu got off the carriage and walked towards the general's mansion, followed closely by servants carrying boxes.
"Mr. Gu." Madam Zhan bowed slightly.
"Hey, isn't this Madam Zhan and Boy Zhan? What are you doing in the general's mansion?" Old Gu walked up to them.
"I heard that the young lady of the general's mansion was seriously ill a few days ago. Since the academy is closed today, we came to see her and bring her some nutritional supplements." Madam Zhan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Old Gu lowered his head and saw the maid behind Madam Zhan carrying two red boxes. He immediately looked a little disgusted: "Look at this little girl carrying these two small boxes? Tsk tsk."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and eight servants behind him carried four boxes and followed Mr. Gu into the mansion.
"What's with his tone? He's just a lousy merchant." Zhan Chi was furious. His movements were so big that they pulled at the wounds on his body, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
"Be careful, your father's whipping is not just for show."
"Mr. Gu is so infuriating."
"He is the elder, you can't be so unreasonable. Mr. Gu is just a big mouth, but he has a good heart."
Madam Zhan came from a scholarly family and knew Mr. Gu's character. She did not take these words to heart and just smiled helplessly.
When Madam Xiang heard that Mr. Gu and the Zhan family were coming to visit and that they were carrying several large boxes, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately asked the maid to dress her up.
A few days ago, the emperor bestowed a lot of good things upon her. Although they were given to that little bastard Ye Qianning, she was also bringing honor to her own son.
How could the emperor know that little bastard without her son? After all, those rewards belong to their Xiang family, and the little bastard has no chance of getting any.
Also nourish the body?
She is an old woman and is good at replenishing her body!
The maid helped the old lady into the hall. Mr. Gu and Zhan Chi, mother and son, had been waiting in the hall for a while. When they saw the visitor, Mrs. Zhan stood up.
"I haven't seen Madam Xiang for a few years, but she's still as charming as ever."
"Madam Zhan is the one who still looks as charming as ever. She looks as well-maintained as if she is in her thirties." Old Madam Xiang was quite jealous when she saw Madam Zhan. She remembered that she had seen her once a few years ago, and her appearance had not changed at all.
