Chapter 371: You Have a Lover
Huai'er's face turned red like charcoal and he was speechless.
Xing Xing was very happy, clapping her hands and saying, "I said that big brother and sister Cen were destined to be together. I just saw sister Cen's face and she is a perfect match for big brother."
Huai Ge'er was overjoyed: "Really?"
He trusted Xingxing very much and felt that what his sister said was the golden rule.
My sister said that he and Miss Cen are a perfect match, which only means that he and Miss Cen are a match made in heaven!
Huai Ge'er couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly urged Xing Xing: "Let's go, let's go back home!"
Xing Xing chuckled.
Before, my aunt was worried every day, not knowing how to deal with my eldest brother's marriage.
Little did we know that marriage is predestined by heaven. Look, isn’t it here?
As soon as Huai Ge'er returned to the Zhenxi General's Mansion, he couldn't wait to run to his mother's Qingpu Courtyard.
Li Chunhua happened to be walking and complaining with Bai Xiaofeng in the garden, and they met Huai Ge'er.
Before Huai Ge'er could say anything, Li Chunhua immediately grabbed Huai Ge'er and said, "Okay, I'm telling you, no matter what you say, you have to start looking for a marriage partner before the New Year!"
Huai'er's expression changed slightly.
But before Huai Ge'er could say anything, Li Chunhua misunderstood what Huai Ge'er meant.
Li Chunhua thought of her previous guess, her face changed again, her voice was a little dry: "No, son, could it be that you really went to such a dirty place outside and had a lover..."
Huai Ge'er's expression became even more speechless: "No, Mom, who do you think I am?"
"Who do you want to be?" Li Chunhua muttered, "You crawled out of my belly, but you grew up outside for twenty years. How should I know what you look like? I only know one thing. When I said I wanted to find someone for you, you acted as if I owed you 100,000 taels of silver. Your face was so long! I'm your mother! I'm not here to collect debts!"
Li Chunhua became more and more angry as she spoke, and even pulled Bai Xiaofeng to pressure Huai Ge'er: "Second brother's wife, tell me, our Huai Ge'er is already 20 years old, and he has established his career. It's time for him to get married, right? As a mother, am I wrong to help him find a girlfriend?"
Bai Xiaofeng coughed and naturally stood on Li Chunhua's side: "...Brother Huai, don't blame your mother for being anxious. It's really because you are getting older, your mother loves you and wants someone who understands you... It's not that Second Aunt is talkative and annoying, just think about it, your two younger brothers are getting older too, and it's time for them to meet someone. If you don't get married, what will your two younger brothers say?..."
Li Chunhua became more and more excited as she listened, nodding repeatedly: "That's right!"
Huai Ge'er couldn't get a word in what Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were saying.
Xing Xing laughed secretly and shook Li Chunhua's hand: "Aunt, don't you guys listen to what big brother has to say?"
Xingxing is more effective in speaking than Huaiger.
As soon as Xing Xing said this, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng immediately stopped talking and looked at Huai Ge'er: "Okay, go ahead."
Huai Ge'er suddenly became a little embarrassed again.
The young general who was so powerful on the battlefield was now shy: "Mom said that I don't object to seeing someone..."
Before Huai'er finished speaking, Li Chunhua clapped her hands happily and said, "Hey, you said that! It just so happens that today, the wife of the Minister of War sent someone to deliver an invitation, saying that she wants to invite me to her house tomorrow to ask me how I raised such a brave and extraordinary son like you. The Minister's wife also specifically said that her sister will bring her unmarried daughter along. From what I heard, it seems that the Minister's wife is trying to bring us together..."
Before Li Chunhua finished speaking, Huai Ge'er became anxious: "No, mother, I mean, I, I..."
Huai'er's face turned as red as a shrimp!
He really couldn't say it out loud. He had a girl he loved and wanted his family to help him arrange a marriage for her...
It was Xing Xing who stepped forward and told the story of Huai Ge'er saving a girl in the mountains before, and also about what happened today: "...Big brother wants you to help him go to Sister Cen's house to propose marriage."
"Ah?" Li Chunhua was surprised and happy, and couldn't help scolding Huai Ge'er again, "You little bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were out... Turns out you have a lover!"
Bai Xiaofeng was even more excited and pulled Huai Ge'er to ask, "Is that girl's surname Cen? ... Do you know what her family does? Does she have that intention?"
Li Chunhua also came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, what does her family do?"
The Yu family was a family of peasants, and Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng asked these questions not because they despised Miss Cen's background. On the contrary, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng were worried that the girl would look down on their family.
When Huai Ge'er thought of Cen Yueyi, his face turned red, he held his head down and stammered, unable to speak.
Finally, Xing Xing stepped forward again: "Aunt, Aunt, don't worry. Although I don't know what Sister Cen's family does, I think Sister Cen's face is a good match for Big Brother."
Li Chunhua was overjoyed to hear this.
She took Xingxing's hand and asked about the situation of Miss Cen.
Huai'er just stood there grinning foolishly.
When Li Chunhua heard Xingxing say that Miss Cen was beautiful and very gentle in her treatment of others, the heavy weight on her heart fell off, the fine lines on her face relaxed a lot, and she smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll go out and ask around tomorrow..."
At this point, Li Chunhua responded, "Oh, no, not tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go to the residence of the Minister of War. His wife wants me to be her guest... I'll go and ask for you the day after tomorrow."
When Huai'er heard what his mother said, the corners of his mouth almost reached the sky!
Li Chunhua ignored her son and went to hold Xingxing's hand: "...Xingxing, the minister's wife invited me to her house, but I'm actually not sure. I might even refuse her. You know I have a bad temper and sometimes I don't like what I say...Tomorrow you and your aunt have to accompany me."
Xing Xing responded immediately: "Okay!"
This is a win-win situation.
After Li Chunhua knew that her son was not opposed to getting married, she felt so happy both physically and mentally that she ate half an extra pork elbow in the evening and had a rare good sleep.
From the second day on, Li Chunhua looked radiant.
Even Xing Xing praised: "Auntie looks so pretty today!"
Li Chunhua was beautiful and took Bai Xiaofeng and Xingxing to the home of the Minister of War.
The residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War was naturally much smaller than the residence of the General of Zhenxi owned by Yu Ci.
Li Chunhua followed the etiquette that Ah Wu had taught her before, without looking around, and followed the maid from the Minister of War's residence, taking Bai Xiaofeng and Xing Xing to the backyard.
