Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

No, I have to seize the opportunity and tell my father about this matter, and let him find out where that young general comes from.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwei immediately got up and prepared to go to her parents' room regardless of how late it was.

She happened to meet her half-sister Zhou Yuting. Zhou Yuting bowed and greeted her, but Zhou Yuwei just nodded lightly and left.

Zhou Yuting didn't take it seriously. After all, her elder sister was influenced by her stepmother and had disliked her since she was a child, but she had never bullied her.

It was almost time for her to choose a husband, and she had different ideas about marriage from her sister.

She and her aunt just wanted to marry into a well-off family of equal status, and didn't want to marry into a high-class family.

Although my sister has been favored since she was a child, I have enough food and clothing and live a decent life.

If a young person is capable and willing to make progress, it is acceptable even if he or she marries a man of lower social status.

Therefore, Zhang asked Zhou Cheng to look for a marriage for her daughter. Their requirements were not high. As long as the young man was motivated, had a harmonious family, and was not too poor, it would be fine.

I also hope that Zhou Cheng, as a father, can ask his daughter about the family and not let the mistress look for her.

Although Zhou Cheng doesn't care much about his youngest daughter, she is his own flesh and blood after all, and he hopes that she can marry into a good family.

Besides, if she marries the right person, she can at least help the Zhou family consolidate its position.

Therefore, he despised Zhang for her lack of vision and backbone, and for having too low requirements for her son-in-law. How could Zhou Cheng's daughter marry someone of low status?

Seeing that her husband didn't care and even thought her requirements were too low, Zhang couldn't help feeling uneasy, fearing that her husband would find her daughter someone with more wealth than beauty.

Otherwise, she would marry him to a high-ranking official as a concubine, ruining his daughter's life.

She had suffered enough as a concubine in her life, so how could she let her daughter suffer the same fate?

The mother and daughter were very nervous, so they went straight to Zhou Cheng and told him what they were thinking. Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel a little angry.

He felt that the mother and daughter were ungrateful and had let down his plans for their daughter.

But Zhang begged, saying that as a mother, she only wanted her children to live a stable and happy life and did not want to enjoy wealth and glory.

Zhou Cheng was also annoyed by the fact that his mother was still trapped in the Zhou family's house in the capital and couldn't come out. He felt guilty for not being able to take his mother out of the house.

Hearing what Zhang said at this time, he felt sour and uncomfortable. Looking at Zhang's pleading look and his daughter's tender face, his heart softened and he agreed.

He would go to wealthy and kind families to look for ambitious young men, but this matter could not be left to Wei.

Since Wei already had an aversion to concubines, how could she find a good family to marry her illegitimate daughter if she was asked to do so?

After receiving Zhou Cheng's definite answer, Zhang and her daughter felt relieved, and Zhang concentrated on packing things for her daughter's dowry.

Anyway, when her daughter gets married, the mistress will not give her anything more except the money from the public office. She still has to rely on the family savings she has saved to accompany her daughter.

In Wei's room, seeing her daughter coming over late at night, she thought that Madam Liu had other instructions, but her daughter didn't have time to tell her, so she hurriedly pulled her to sit at the table.

Zhou Yuwei looked at her parents looking at her lovingly, bit her lip, opened and closed her mouth, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted to pieces.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said to Zhou Cheng and Wei: "Father and mother, I have something to say."

Now that she had started talking, the rest of the conversation went smoothly. Zhou Yuwei suppressed her shyness and continued speaking.

"On the way to Liu's house today, my daughter saw two generals on horseback leading a large group of soldiers into the city. I don't know whose generals they were, as I seem to have never seen them before."

"That's true. The ones who came were General Zhao Wu of the Zhen Army and his son, General Zhao Mingyuan of the Yunhui Army. They were ordered to enter the pass with the Zhao family army to take over Liuguan Town. General Liu also gave up his position as commander-in-chief and became his deputy."

"Today I also went to pay my respects to General Zhenyuan. From now on, General Liu will no longer be the only one in charge."

When Zhou Cheng heard his daughter's words, he took over the conversation.

In addition to major military events, he would often talk to Wei about matters concerning the soldiers in the barracks. He didn't tell them everything, but just wanted them to hear more so that they wouldn't be completely clueless about what might happen in the future.

Today, General Zhenyuan entered Liuguan Town with great fanfare to garrison there, so naturally I rushed to pay him a visit.

"Yuwei, why did you suddenly mention the Zhao family army? Did some soldiers offend you?" Zhou Cheng looked at his daughter anxiously.

Wei also became nervous and took her daughter's hand to look her up and down.

"No, no, please don't misunderstand, Mom and Dad." Zhou Yuwei embarrassedly pulled back her mother's hand.

At the same time, he was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the young general was General Yunhui, the son of the God of War General Zhenyuan!
