Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

General's Mansion

There was laughter and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qiao Shu glanced at the old ancestor, then at the Ning'an Marquis and his wife, and the smile on her lips deepened. She didn't expect that they came to the capital and brought the little princess with them, and they also planned to marry the little princess to the capital.

That’s great! The second son’s marriage is settled.

"Old sister, you haven't been to the capital for many years. We are the only two old guys left of our generation. I'm glad you can come."

[Marquis of Ning'an: Ning Zhen, his wife Lin Xue.]

Lin Xue smiled and said, "See what Sister Ruo said. If I wasn't too far away, I would definitely come to bother you every day. I'm just afraid that by then you'll get annoyed and not want me to come over."

The old ancestor chuckled: "You are still the same as before. Even at this age, you still have the temperament of a child. It is because of your husband's spoiling."

"Oh, no, he always has a stern face."

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Xue got down to business: "Sister Ruo, you know that we brought Xiaoxiao here this time not only to let her see some new things, but also to find her a good marriage."

"That child is pitiful. She lost her parents when she was young. It was all up to us old couple to raise her. We are so old now, we will have to leave sooner or later. If we don't make good arrangements for the child."

"Hey, I don't feel at ease even when I leave."

The old ancestor nodded, that was true, now that they were alive, the child could live without worries, but once they were gone, how could an orphan girl protect the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

Even if the elders of the tribe had some tricks up their sleeves, they could still swallow up a child, skin and bones included. That would be truly pitiful.

"Then do you have a favorite family? Shu'er knows a lot about various noble families. If you have a favorite, I will ask her if she is reliable. Some young masters of noble families have noble births, but that is only superficial."

Lin Xue nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. If sister didn't come to me, we would have come to find you. There are indeed people who are promising. They are far away and close at hand."

The old ancestor was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he asked tentatively: "You mean, you are interested in the Mohist school, then who are you interested in?"

The child is a princess, so if she gets married, she will be a wife. Besides, the Mo family has no precedent of taking concubines. Among the three grandsons, Jue'er and Yuan'er are the best-looking.

Hmm? She seems to have a great-grandson, what was his name? I can't remember it. As I get older, my memory is getting worse.

The couple looked at each other, and Lin Xue's eyes were somewhat eager: "It's Sister Ruo's great-grandson Mo Yuan. We know the rules of the Mo family. It can't be Mo Jue."

As for Mo Lin, he was subconsciously ignored by them.

Qiao Shu's face froze. Thinking of her poor second child, she sighed inwardly. How unpopular was that unfortunate child? No one looked down on him.

It's just that he's a little taller, looks a little intimidating, his face isn't as pretty as his brothers, he's a little more straightforward, and he's stingy... I don't know where this stingy personality came from.

There shouldn't be any other shortcomings, and it doesn't look that bad.

The old ancestor glanced at Qiao Shu and said softly, "Old sister, I'm afraid this won't work. You're too late. Yuan'er is already engaged and will be married next year. His great-grandson's wife is the current eldest princess."

Lin Xue was surprised. His Majesty only had three princesses, so they would naturally be used for marriage alliances. Besides, he had always been wary of the Mo family, so how could he possibly marry a princess to him, let alone a legitimate princess?

"Sister Ruo, what's going on? How could His Majesty..."

The old ancestor smiled and said, "It's a long story, and I can't explain it in a few words. Anyway, the eldest princess is a good child. If it weren't for her, my Mo family would be destroyed."

"They are young people who like each other very much. I am also very happy to see them. Old sisters, why don't you take another look? I remember there is a great-grandson. What was his name?"

"Shu'er, my memory is getting worse and worse."

Qiao Shu stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old man is in good health. We will see Yuan'er get married next year. By then, we can still wait for our great-great-grandson."

The old ancestor smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, yes, ah, I like the cleverness of the eldest princess. Look, she has made Yuan'er a lot more lively. It's really pleasing to see."

"Oh, I almost forgot, did Shu'er give birth to three sons?"

"...Yes, old man. Lin'er is still unengaged."

The old ancestor nodded, took Lin Xue's hand, and patted her gently: "Old sister, look at Lin Er's success. If she can succeed, when Xiao Xiao marries into the family in the future, no one will dare to let her suffer any injustice."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xue made up her mind. Perhaps this was a good thing. The General's Mansion was originally very dangerous and His Majesty had always been wary of it. Maybe something would happen one day, and then Xiao Xiao would naturally...

Now that His Majesty has married the eldest princess here, it will be like the General's Mansion has an extra life-saving talisman in the future. As long as the Mohist School does not rebel, nothing will happen in the capital.

If she thought about it this way, her last bit of worry disappeared. She should quickly decide on Mo Lin, lest it be too late and someone else snatch him away from her. What would Xiao Xiao do then?

That child is too naive. If she marries another family, she will definitely be bullied in the future. The Mo family is not reliable at all. Besides, the eldest princess is here, so no matter what, she will not bully Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xue said readily, "Okay, Sister Ru, if you have time, arrange for them to meet. If possible, we can match their horoscopes and finalize the marriage as soon as possible."

Qiao Shu explained, "Perhaps, the two have already met. My second son and the little princess met at the flower-viewing banquet in the palace two days ago, and they have a good impression of each other."

"Oh, why didn't Xiaoxiao tell us about this?"

"No, old man, you saw Xiaoxiao coming back before, she seemed to be wearing a piece of clothing, the style looked like it was for men, could it be your second son's?"

"Exactly. Let me explain this matter a little."

After half a stick of incense

The three of them looked at her with burning eyes and couldn't help laughing: "This is fate, destiny, it's really great."

"No wonder the master said that Xiaoxiao's good match is in the capital. It turns out that it is Sister Ruo's great-grandson. It seems that our two families are destined to become in-laws, haha."

The old ancestor was also very happy that the marriages of her three great-grandchildren had all been settled. Maybe she would even be able to see the little kids jumping around her, which would be a joy to watch.

"That's not right. Let's let the two youngsters take a look first. If they like each other, we can start the engagement process. Don't worry, my Mo family is polite and will never neglect it."

Lin Xue couldn't help but laugh: "I understand. After we go back, we should prepare Xiaoxiao's dowry. That's great."
