Chapter 178: Beast, can you behave like a human being?

"You're going to join the army?!"

Zhao Yingqiao was so angry that she was shaking all over and clenched the stick tightly, but in the end she couldn't bear to let it go.

He was the eldest princess' son, but now he lived in a small inn. There was a black old pottery bowl on the broken wooden table, and the bedsheets and quilts were not made of good materials, but old coarse cloth. The inn was also very small and shabby. Zhao Yingqiao could never have imagined that her son would live here? ?

"When you left, you didn't have any money with you?"

A mother is a mother, and she can't help but show concern even when she is angry.

Yin Zhengnan showed a naive and handsome face: "Ah? Then you have to spend less. I don't know how long I will live out here."

Zhao Yingqiao: ...

It really makes my mother mad!

"Come back with me!"

"No, unless you go to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage now."

"!!!"

Zhao Yingqiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

What can she do about her own son?

A few days ago, it was Gu Zixuan who wanted to run away from home. Zhao Yingqiao was leaning on the small step eating melon seeds and watching the fun, but she never thought that in less than a year, it would be her own son who ran away from home.

What is going on!

"Why do you have to go to war? Do you know how dangerous war is?"

Zhao Yingqiao wanted to struggle again, and said earnestly: "Swords have no eyes. Even if you can dodge the enemy's hidden arrows, can you avoid being accidentally injured in a melee? Do you know how miserable the dead in the battle look? Their intestines are hanging out, and they died with their eyes open. The battlefield is filled with corpses piled up one after another, and it's hard to find a single person!"

Is that a battlefield? That's hell on earth!

The more Zhao Yingqiao spoke, the more frightened she became, especially when she thought that her son might be among those corpses. She trembled all over.

"I know. War is always dangerous. But war is the fastest way to earn military merit. If I can get a few more heads, I might be able to become a general at the age of 21..."

"Confused!"

Zhao Yingqiao was so angry that she trembled all over: "One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. You are dreaming. Do you know how many lives and deaths you will have to go through?"

Fighting a war is like putting your head on your belt. How can it be the same? It's too dangerous!

"No, you can't go!"

"So you agree to go to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage?"

Yin Zhengnan's pair of pure big eyes sparkled with a cunning light, but Zhao Yingqiao was so anxious that she didn't notice her son's little thoughts.

After all, she still disliked the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. What happened at the Enrong Banquet was simply jaw-dropping. If she dared to suffer any of the grievances that Su Jin had suffered, she would definitely beat her to death!

Who dares to let her, the eldest princess, suffer any injustice?

But now, this kind of thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion, which can only mean that the people in the Marquis' Mansion are not very good, and Gu Sui Yu must be the same.

She originally wanted to delay it until Yin Zhengnan was older, and then this matter would be over, but who would have thought that this boy would be restless, and seeing that running away from home didn't work, he wanted to join the army directly? !

You little bastard! You only know how to bully your own mother!

Zhao Yingqiao was helpless. As the old saying goes, a son will get what he deserves if he tries to trick his mother. When it comes to the Grand Princess, it seems that she is no exception.

"Okay, ancestor, isn't it enough to promise you?"

Zhao Yingqiao was also deflated. There was really no other way. Running away from home would at most make her life a little miserable, but if she really went to the battlefield, she would be killed!

"Okay, let's go now!"

Seeing that his mother finally agreed, Yin Zhengnan jumped out of bed with a smile on his face, grabbed his coat that was thrown on the table and rushed out. He looked so excited that he was happier than if his mother had just returned home.

Zhao Yingqiao was furious again. She could only pat her chest and chase after him: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have to go back to buy things? And your wild geese..."

"I have someone take care of the wild geese for me. It's okay. I have already found a matchmaker. Let's go to the emperor."

Zhao Yingqiao: ...

Come here, I'll kill you, and you want the emperor to be your matchmaker? You really dare to think that, what? You want to treat the imperial edict as a betrothal letter? ?

"Shit, I'll find someone for you!"

"Oh, come on!"

Yin Zhengnan agreed readily, but Zhao Yingqiao felt inexplicably cheated.

So, on this day, the efficiency of the Yin Mansion was brought to the extreme.

As soon as the matchmaker entered the gate of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, the betrothal gift from the Yin Mansion came out of the gate.

The Ten Miles of Red Makeup Shop was extremely luxurious, with silks, satins, corals, jewels, and luminous pearls sold as if they were free of charge. All kinds of gold, silver, and jade wares were piled together, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Whose betrothal gift is this? It's so generous?"

"The youngest son of the Grand Princess's mansion!"

"Who are you betrothing to?"

"Do I even need to ask? It must be the fourth young lady of the Marquis' Mansion!"

The fact that Yin Zhengnan loves Gu Suiyu has become known to everyone. With such a luxurious betrothal gift, and two wild geese leading the way in front, it is obviously destined for the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

"My goodness, the Grand Princess agrees?"

I have no choice but to agree to this, as my own son is about to go to the battlefield.

So the people who came to watch the fun followed all the way, directly following the betrothal procession and surrounding the gate of the marquis' mansion.

At this moment, the matchmaker was talking happily to the old lady and the old marquis.

"The eldest princess is very satisfied with the fourth young lady. Since the young master is about to go to the battlefield, she wanted to give the betrothal gifts quickly. It's not that she is breaking the rules, but time is tight, so she asked me, the matchmaker, to come first. This also shows that she values ​​our mansion and our fourth young lady, isn't it..."

The matchmaker spoke eloquently, making the old marquis and the old lady smile happily.

They had agreed to the marriage with the Grand Princess from the very beginning. That person was a real royal relative, much more approachable than them, who were marquises.

“Okay, okay!”

The old marquis was beaming with joy, and the old lady was nodding frequently. It could only be said that so many bad things had happened in the marquis's mansion recently, and today's event was definitely the only big happy event in recent times.

"Well, shall I invite them in now? The young master and the eldest princess are here."

Upon hearing that everyone had arrived, the old marquis and Zou hurried out to welcome them. Even Gu Changqing was dragged over to greet Zhao Yingqiao and her son.

Then the tall vermilion door creaked open, and the Marquis' Mansion used the highest standards of etiquette to welcome the relatives. Zhao Yingqiao, who had been sitting in the sedan chair, saw that the people in the Marquis' Mansion were quite tactful, so after three invitations, she walked out slowly.

"The Grand Princess!"

The old marquis always bowed to Zhao Yingqiao.

"Hurry up, come in!"

"Um!"

Zhao Yingqiao looked proud and solemn as she slowly stepped into the door of the Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Changqing stared at Zhao Yingqiao's back. Although it was a major event in his daughter's life, he was only thinking about one thing.

If he asked the Grand Princess to intercede for him, would he be able to end his rest and continue attending court?

If Su Jin were still here now, he would definitely roll his eyes and then greet Gu Changqing: You beast, can you please behave like a human being?
