Geng Yueling asked curiously: "Siniang, do you know how to read faces?"
This is the rule of a large family in the feudal dynasty. Although Geng Yueling is the biological mother of the fourth aunt, the mistress is the eldest. In front of others, she must call the mistress, the old lady, and her biological mother, the fourth mother.
The fourth aunt said proudly: "Isn't it? I just fell in love with your father at first glance back then. I ignored the opportunity to become a big wife and decided to marry your father as my concubine. Nowadays, who in my mother's family doesn't say that I am the most attractive person?" poison."
"If I marry him, will I also become a concubine?"
"Being a concubine? What are you talking nonsense about? How can my daughter from the Geng family be a concubine?"
"But, but, if, if, it's possible..."
"Oh, please speak quickly! Why is it so difficult to speak? It makes me feel sleepy."
"I mean, my sister must be a big lady, so it's definitely not my turn."
"Huh?" Geng Yueru was embarrassed and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, people will laugh out loud if you hear it."
But I saw that my aunt, who was drunk, had already fallen asleep.
In her prime, Geng Yueling has not yet begun to conceive, but that does not mean that she is ignorant of the world. She has already seen that Geng Yueru hopes to marry Huang Yi.
Today she also met Huang Yi. She also felt that the handsome Huang Yijun was good-looking. Such a man would be a good brother-in-law. It would be acceptable for her to marry such a man as a concubine.
She whispered, "Sister, if Huang Yi knew that we came here specially to pretend to be a maid to see him, would he laugh at us?"
"In the future? How can I know the future now! It's not certain whether I can see him again in the future." Geng Yueru said with melancholy.
Seeing that Geng Yueru suddenly had something on his mind and his tone was low, Geng Yueling said strangely: "Eh? Why do you say that? It seems that one of us will marry him!"
"Alas! Looking at today's situation, your mother must have fallen in love with him. It seems that you are really lucky."
"Sister, I don't care. If you like him, you can get married."
"Alas! You idiot, we can't make the final decision on marriage, let's just leave it to fate!"
"My parents love you the most. As long as you are determined, how can they disagree? Besides, they have great favors for my family."
"Yes, wouldn't marrying you to him be the same as repaying a favor?"
"I don't care, but what do people think? Will they dislike my identity and feel that the Geng family looks down on him!"
"Ah? Why do you have such thoughts at such a young age?"
"Haven't you ever thought about it?"
"No? Just tell me what you think of!"
"You and I are the only ones left unmarried in our family. Since we are repaying a favor, we should choose the best one. Your status, knowledge, and appearance are much better than mine, so it should be you.
If it were me instead of you, would people think that the Geng family actually looked down on him, making him feel humiliated, and a good thing turned into a bad thing? "
Seeing Geng Yueling say these insightful words, Geng Yueru couldn't help but look at her with admiration. She said: "Ah! I didn't expect you to think so deeply."
Feudal society was very hierarchical, and the difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine was actually that of a master and a servant. Geng Yueling's knowledge and appearance were far less important than the identity of the legitimate daughter.
Geng Yueling explained: "What's the point! I'm not you. I have to be cautious since I was a child. Only by thinking more when encountering problems can I avoid being scolded."
"You have no conscience! Ever since you were little, what delicious and fun things have I not given to you every time?"
"Just because you are nice to me, it doesn't mean that others will be nice to me. When have my parents ever looked at me seriously?"
This is a fact, Geng Yueru fell silent.
At the main table in the living room of Li's business, several people were still drinking. Huang Yi smiled and said to Geng Zhangguang, "Your aunt is quite interesting."
Geng Zhangguang had already seen from his aunt's attitude that she fell in love with Huang Yi. He said, "I heard from my third brother that you haven't gotten married yet, right?"
"Yes!"
"Have you decided to get married?"
"without!"
"There are three unfilial piety factors: not having an offspring is the worst. The marriage should be decided earlier."
"Haha... I grew up in a foreign country, so I didn't have this idea. Now I just want to have a place to stand."
"This is easy. Third brother has already gone to the capital under the order. He originally wanted to wait for you to go with him, but he had no way of knowing when you would return.
I think the court will definitely increase the reward this time, and you can get three levels in a row no matter what you do. It is estimated that a thousand generals cannot run away, and the department level must at least be a fourth-grade guard to command the affairs.
With soldiers, horses and garrison, it is natural that we have a place to stand. "
"Alas! This matter is not that simple!"
"Why?"
"I have a population of more than 3,000 people. How can I leave them behind?"
"We can take them into custody and resettle them!"
"Resettlement? Is it possible for the court to provide money and land?"
"this……"
"That's it, you have to rely on yourself for everything. Although it is dangerous outside the customs, the territory is huge. I will lead them to open up wasteland and cultivate the land to be self-reliant and not cause trouble to the court!"
"No, no, no! People inside the customs are often harassed and plundered by Tatars, let alone outside the customs!"
"It all depends on man! If Jiannu can beat the Tatars and make them flee, why can't I do it given time?"
"This is not the time to act on impulse!"
"I'm not acting on impulse, I should be in much better conditions than when I first started to be a slave, because I will have the help of Governor Xuanda, and Ming Dynasty will be my strong backing.
I can unite the Mongolian tribes who are willing to have good relations with the Ming Dynasty, and unite these tribes to defeat the tribes that surrender to Jiannu, so that Jiannu and Tatars cannot approach the Xuanda border wall. "
Li Weida interjected at this time: "It will definitely benefit our Ming Dynasty! It's a pity that the relationship between the Tatar tribes outside the mouth is complicated. It is really difficult for them to unite to fight against the Jiannu!"
"Yes! Yes! People who are not of my race will have different minds. Allying with the Tatars is like seeking the skin of a tiger. I advise you to enter the customs and develop." Geng Zhangguang said.
"Haha..., a real man must not be afraid of hardships! Only by continuing to come forward can he show his true nature. Come on, come on, I'll give you a toast and ask for your support in the future!"
"No matter where you are or what you are doing, I will definitely support you with all my strength!" Li Weida said after drinking.
Geng Zhangguang picked up the wine glass and said: "I support that for sure, but..."
Huang Yi said: "It's okay to say goodbye. Maybe one day I can unite the Mongolian tribes to capture Monan and Hetao, and be named the new 'King of Shunyi' by the court!"
"Ah? Are you so ambitious?" Li Weida was shocked and inexplicable.
Huang Yi secretly laughed in his heart. Is this because he has high aspirations? If I told you that my ambition is the stars and the sea, the inland sea that sweeps across Eurasia and makes the Pacific Ocean a new empire, will you fall down in fear?
Geng Zhangguang left his seat and bowed deeply, saying: "I won't say anything more. He will do his best to help you succeed."
Two days later, Huang Yi left, taking away three hundred carts full of food and supplies, as well as fifty pairs of refined iron chainmail, seventy Lumi guns, five hundred kilograms of lead, and One thousand five hundred pounds of gunpowder.
