These peasants are so lucky. Not only are they from the same village as the county lady, but they can even chat and laugh with the general's wife. They are so jealous that they are almost fainting.

Why can't such a good fortune be theirs? They also want to have a chat with the general's wife.

It’s a pity that I don’t know if it was because Xiao Wan got the female lead’s script or for some other reason, but before everyone could sigh enough, someone else came to the door.

Everyone was already numb. Needless to say, it was just another gift of a few carriages and another important person.

The old scholar was also numbed by the shock of the successive big shots.

Sure enough, the servant continued to sing along in a trembling voice: "General Yunhui's gift has arrived..."

The whole place was in an uproar. Who was this General Yun Hui? Did the Xiao family mess up the general's nest?

Everyone was bewildered, until Fu smiled and answered their questions, "This General Yunhui is my worthless son. He is currently stationed at the border with his father, fighting there. Thanks to the grace of His Majesty, he has been granted the title of General Yunhui."

What? This General Yunhui is the son of General Zhenyuan. It's true that a hero emerges from his youth. Like father, like son.

By the way, what rank is General Yunhui? Someone asked curiously.

Someone nearby who knew something about military generals whispered to the other person that he should be a major general of the fourth rank.

Ah, the fourth rank, isn’t that an official higher than that of a county magistrate?

For a moment, everyone was glad to attend the housewarming party and began to re-examine the status of the Xiao family. They also looked at the Xiao family members with a gleam in their eyes.

Fu Qiushuang was surprised by her cousin's actions. Could it be that her cousin had such deep feelings for Princess Huide?

Even when he was at the border and couldn't leave, he would still ask his subordinates to send gifts.

My aunt and cousin think so highly of Princess Huide, so I must not do anything that would cause her to misunderstand me. I should not say anything that I shouldn't say, and just play the role of a sister-in-law.

Many of the guests came with their wives and daughters. When the women saw the luxurious gifts, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

When he heard that the general's wife and her son had come to give gifts, the jealousy in his eyes almost turned into reality and immediately shot towards Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan felt helpless when she saw everyone's looks, but her expression remained calm. The other young ladies gritted their teeth in jealousy when they saw this.

How could this peasant girl be noticed by the general's wife and the major general? It's really infuriating!

No, they also have to behave well in front of the general's wife, just in case the general's wife takes a fancy to them and thinks that they are worthy of the young general and better than this peasant girl.

The person who came to deliver the gift this time was the deputy general Liu Feng from last time. He walked forward with a smile, and just as he was about to greet Xiao Wan, he saw Fu holding Xiao Wan's arm.

He was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted Fu first, and then greeted Xiao Wan. Xiao Wan waved her hand to indicate that he was not polite.

Liu Feng then turned to look at Fu: "Madam, you are also coming to attend the county lady's housewarming party."

Fu smiled playfully, nodded, and said, "Your general is very thoughtful. I thought he didn't know that today is Miss Wan's housewarming party."

Liu Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw Fu's playful smile. If his own general was here, wouldn't he be embarrassed by his own mother's teasing?

When Xiao Wan heard what Fu said, her face turned red, and at the same time she was happy for Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts.

Although Zhao Mingyuan was unable to come in person and they had not seen each other for a long time, Xiao Wan was not angry except for missing him.

She knew that the war situation at the border was tense and that the Yilan people were cunning and might invade the border at any time and harm the people there.

Zhao Mingyuan cares about his family, country and the world, and he also has her in his heart, so Xiao Wan naturally understands her.

During the time they didn't see each other, she could also enrich herself better, and when the two stood side by side, they would be more evenly matched.

Fu didn't say anything else, fearing that her future daughter-in-law would feel embarrassed.

Everyone could only hear fragments of what was said, and some shrewd eyes glanced at Fu and Xiao Wan quietly, as if they understood something.

But he was smart and didn't tell anyone around him. He just knew in his heart that he had to spend more time at the County Lady's Mansion in the future, and he also wanted his wife to visit the County Lady's Mansion more often so that she would be familiar to him.

If anything happens in the future, I have at least some debt to the county lady, so I should leave a way out for everything.

There are also many smart people who regret that the gifts this time are not generous enough, blaming themselves for underestimating others, and thinking about how to make up for it.

There are also some shrewd and calculating people who are thinking of marrying into the Xiao family. However, looking at the situation today, the families in Jiyun City are afraid that they cannot marry into the county lady's family, so they can only focus on the county lady's family.

But I heard that the county lady has an older sister who divorced and returned home, and a younger brother or sister who is eight or nine years old, so there is still a chance for them to get close to each other.
