The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Half a month later, the emperor received a message that the brave young general would arrive in the imperial capital in three days.

Emperor Dingde was very pleased that another famous general with no background was about to grow up in the Great Xia Kingdom. He announced the matter immediately in the court and planned to send a special honor guard to the city gate to welcome the brave young general back triumphantly.

When the ministers went home and told the story, the wives and daughters at home were all very interested and asked about the brave young general, asking him how old he was, what he looked like, and whether he was married.

Hearing that the brave young general was only fourteen or fifteen years old, more than eight feet tall, handsome, skilled in martial arts, brave and resourceful, he was a rookie that the emperor was very optimistic about, so many families with daughters to be married were attracted by him.

Shu Linglong had already begun to imagine what the young general would look like in her mind.

Her marriage has always been difficult and she is already fifteen years old but still unengaged. This young general sounds like a good choice for her.

Without caring about being embarrassed, she pulled her mother aside and told her her thoughts. She also asked her mother to keep an eye on the brave young general. If the young general was really as the rumors said, she would get engaged to him.

Madam Shu snorted coldly: "Even if he is a young general, he is still a peasant with no background or foundation. You will still suffer if you marry him."

"Oh, mother, you don't understand. Who was awarded the title of a brave young general at the age of fourteen or fifteen? Only those without background or family background are more valued by the emperor. As for the foundation you mentioned, you have reached a certain level of position. Is there anything you want?" Shu Linglong had expectation in her eyes. She took her mother's hand and tried her best to persuade her.

At this time, Shu Chengzu walked in and nodded, "Madam, Linglong is right. When choosing a son-in-law, you still have to look at the development prospects. Many children of noble families in the imperial capital look glamorous, but without the protection of their family, they are nothing. They also need personal strength. Even the emperor is optimistic about this brave young general, which means that he must have a promising future."

Hearing this, Madam Shu also had an idea. She looked at Shu Linglong and said, "In three days, the young general will arrive in the imperial capital. By then, I will take you to see him. If you like him, I will find a matchmaker."

"Well, I always listen to my mother," Shu Linglong's face was shy, her eyelids drooped, but the corners of her lips were raised high.

Shu Chengzu stroked his short beard and nodded with satisfaction.

He thought for a moment and reminded Madam Shu, "You better act quickly. Good sons-in-law are very popular in the imperial capital. If you act too late, the young general will be snatched away by others."

Shu Chengzu's words were true. In the past two days, many ministers' families had been talking about the brave young general.

Even Yan Xixue, the concubine's daughter of the Yan family, had ideas about it.

Yan Xixue is fourteen years old this year. She is very afraid that she will be like her elder sister Yan Yudie, who is still unengaged at the age of seventeen and has turned herself into an old maid, so she is particularly concerned about her marriage.

Although she was a concubine's daughter, she was the daughter of Prime Minister Yan after all, and the brave young general was just a peasant with no family background or background. Yan Xixue felt that she was completely worthy of him.

Another person who had the same idea as Yan Xixue was Liang Qianxi from the second branch of the Liang family.

Liang Qianxi is thirteen years old this year. Because her cousin Liang Yueru is going to marry the third prince as his principal wife, Liang Qianxi is very unwilling and secretly resolves that she must not marry too badly.

After hearing from her uncle that the brave young general was handsome, highly skilled in fighting, had a promising future, and was about her age, she set her sights on him.

In fact, the Duke of Liang also had the idea of ​​marrying the brave young general. He certainly wanted to bring the newly-crowned noble to his side, and marriage was the best way to do that.

Among the granddaughters, Yueru is engaged to the third prince, and the remaining legitimate granddaughter is the second prince's daughter Qianxi.

After having this idea in mind, Liang Qianxi began to look forward to the arrival of the brave young general, as if she was already the young general's person.

In addition to Shu Linglong, Yan Xixue, and Liang Qianxi, there was another person who was also excited about the brave young general's arrival in the imperial capital. She was Zhou Cuiwan from Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Cuiwan's uncle was only a minor official of the seventh rank and was not qualified to have a close relationship with the brave young general, but Zhou Cuiwan was very confident in her "prophecy" and beauty.

As long as she can find a way to get into the heart of the brave young general, she will be the most noble woman in Daxia in the future!

Moreover, she has Duo Wen Ge to help her. Duo Wen Ge's biological father is Xiao Shangshu of the Ministry of Households. In the future, Duo Wen Ge can bring her with him to attend banquets in the aristocratic circle.

She doesn't have to worry about not having the chance to meet the Seventh Prince.

Gu Qinghuai, Qi Yuanxiu and Qi Leyang were also counting the days and looking forward to Qi Yuanshuo's return.

Gu Qinghuai hasn't seen Qi Yuanshuo for almost three months. In this life and the future life, this is the first time she has fallen in love with someone. It is also the first time she knows that missing someone can corrode the bone marrow.

I wonder if Xiao Shitou is injured, has lost weight, has become darker, or is very tired... Xiao Lingxin saw that she was a little absent-minded in the past two days, so he smiled and asked, "Are you missing Xiao Shitou?"

"Yeah, I miss him a lot," Gu Qinghuai said with a smile without any hesitation.

She is a modern soul who doesn't know how to be pretentious. If she loves, she loves; if she thinks, she thinks. Being timid is not her style.

Xiao Lingxin looked at her, thought for a moment, and reminded her, "Xiao Huai, Xiao Shitou has made great contributions this time and was named a brave young general. He is handsome and of marriageable age. The ladies of the imperial capital's aristocratic families must be eyeing him. Those who want to win over Xiao Shitou will definitely be ready to make a move. You have to be careful and hold on to Xiao Shitou, or he will be snatched away by others."

Gu Qinghuai chuckled, "Thank you Aunt Xiao for reminding me. I believe Xiao Shitou is not a double-faced person. Besides, a man's heart cannot be captured. If he truly loves you, even a god cannot abduct him. If he is promiscuous, it will be useless to try your best to catch him. I am not worried that Xiao Shitou will change his mind. It is a good thing if he does not change his mind. It is also a good thing if he changes his mind. It will allow me to see clearly earlier and stop the loss in time. What's more, men are not everything in my life. To me, they are just icing on the cake."

Xiao Lingxin looked at Gu Qinghuai with admiration and sighed: "Xiaohuai is still insightful. However, you really don't need to worry. For a beautiful and outstanding woman like you, there must be a long queue of men who like you." My Shi'er is still waiting!

"Aunt Xiao, you're too kind," Gu Qinghuai blinked and smiled mischievously, "If a relationship requires me to stand on tiptoe and try very hard to reach the other person, I don't want it. A good relationship is pleasant, relaxed and happy."

Xiao Lingxin agreed very much, "That's right. I used to risk my life and try my best for that scumbag named Lu, but in the end all I got in return was indifference and lack of care. But when I'm with your uncle, I feel... relaxed, happy, and blessed."
