Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

The reason for choosing Sirong is naturally because Sirong's family is rich.

Sirong's family is a famous imperial merchant in the capital, and nearly half of the shops in the country belong to the Si family.

The industry involves all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When Sirong reached the marriageable age, many people came to propose marriage to her.

But because Sijia was rich, she didn't dare to marry into a wealthy family.

First of all, Sirong's family is from a merchant family, and real officials prefer girls from scholarly families.

Secondly, they are afraid that someone will say that there is collusion between officials and businessmen, which will give them a bad reputation.

It would be fine if the illegitimate son of the family were to ask for it.

But there was only one girl born in Sijia's generation, and the rest were all boys.

The elders in the family naturally don't want their legitimate daughter to marry a bastard's son from another family.

Finally, General Ye was chosen as his son-in-law. He did not hold a high official position and had no other brothers in his family.

There is only one mother-in-law above you, and once you get married you become the mistress of the house.

It doesn’t matter if the salary is not high. Sijia is not short of money. I can just give her a generous dowry when the time comes.

When Sirong got married, her wedding was truly a grand affair with a dazzling array of red flowers stretching ten miles long.

The wedding procession, the ones at the head have already entered the husband's house, while the ones at the end have not yet left the bride's house.

What happened next has been mentioned before. General Ye lied that he was injured and could not have children with Sirong, and he deceived Sirong for all these years.

General Ye’s beloved was none other than Old Madam Ye’s niece, Lin Ruxue.

The old lady's brother was one of the few students in their town. After failing the examination for the title of scholar several times, he opened a private school to make a living.

The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it can't be said that they have a deep relationship.

At least Lin Ruxue didn't have that feeling at that time. She was not willing to marry a peasant.

But every time she met this cousin, she always behaved like a well-educated lady, which left a good impression on this cousin.

When General Ye was forcibly conscripted into the army, Lin Tongsheng also found a family for Lin Ruxue to marry into.

Lin Ruxue's husband's surname is Xia, and he is a disciple of Lin Tongsheng.

The family had a few acres of land, which was considered a good family background in their eyes.

If this disciple Xia can pass the imperial examination in one go, then Lin Ruxue will definitely be an official's wife.

Another reason why Lin Tongsheng took a liking to this disciple was that he had no other brothers in his family, only an eldest sister who had married early.

Unfortunately, Disciple Xia had bad luck in the exams. After several attempts, he failed to even pass the examination to become a student.

Moreover, the examination environment was harsh, and disciple Xia, who only knew how to study, did not have good physical fitness.

Every time I come back, I get sick again.

Just at this time, General Ye returned from the battlefield to visit his mother.

His son had made great progress. Although he was only a centurion at the time, it was a very high official position in their hometown.

For such a proud event, one naturally has to invite everyone in the village to show off.

On one side is the good-for-nothing husband, and on the other side is the cousin who is at the peak of his career.

When Lin Ruxue attended the Ye family's wedding banquet, she hooked up with this cousin.

Lin Ruxue was originally General Ye’s white moonlight back then, and coupled with Lin Ruxue’s language skills, General Ye plunged into it and couldn’t get out.

After the two of them had been together for a few days, General Ye returned to the military camp.

Not long after, Lin Ruxue became pregnant and gave birth to General Ye's eldest daughter.

In the days that followed, General Ye often found various excuses to return home to meet her in private.

When Lin Ruxue gave birth to her second daughter, Disciple Xia died of a cold.

In the days that followed, Lin Ruxue lived as a widow in the Lin family, taking care of her parents-in-law.

It was not until Lin Ruxue became pregnant again that her mother-in-law discovered something unusual and the matter could no longer be concealed.

The mother-in-law was so angry that she died, and the remaining father-in-law was also killed by General Ye.

From then on, Lin Ruxue became General Ye's concubine and moved to the small town of their military camp.

At that time, General Ye had already become a young general and was qualified to serve as an official in Beijing.

He brought the four of them to the capital and rented a small courtyard for them to live in.

Only then did he return to his hometown to pick up Mrs. Ye.

When Old Lady Ye learned about these things, she naturally did not agree with General Ye marrying Lin Ruxue as his wife.

But when he saw his little grandson who was still in his cradle, he loved him very much.

Although Lin Ruxue is her niece from her mother's side, this makes her feel more at ease than marrying an outsider.

But it couldn't change the fact that she was a second-married woman, so it was barely acceptable for her to be a concubine for her son.

Even though she was an illiterate old country lady, she was more particular about these things than the rich families.

Now that her son has become successful, she can live a life of commanding slaves and maids. How can she let her son suffer by marrying such an unremarkable woman?

However, General Ye also understood that he had no foundation in the capital.

It is very important for him to have a powerful in-law.

So what happened next.

Two years after he and Sirong got married, he arranged for the children to be relatives of the Ye family. The orphans in the family were adopted by Sirong and brought back to the mansion first.

The next year, Lin Ruxue brought her brother's child from her natal family and came to live with Old Madam Ye as a widow, and lived in the courtyard next to the old lady.

She serves the old lady on weekdays, can see the children during the day, and is convenient for General Ye to have a private meeting with her at night.

At that time, the Ye family was living a good life with Sirong's dowry.

As for why the child of Lin Ruxue's brother from her mother's side had to take her husband's family's surname, it was naturally because he was born to his brother's concubine.

Lin Ruxue's brother Lin Yue passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. The local county magistrate saw that he was handsome and married his youngest daughter to him.

Moreover, there was a General Ye in their family who served in the army, and the county magistrate was also thinking of placing his bet on him.

With his father-in-law putting pressure on him, Lin Yue naturally didn't dare to act rashly, but there was no problem with taking a concubine.

However, this concubine fell ill during childbirth and died within a few years.

At that time, Lin Ruxue and several children around her were taken back to the general's mansion by General Ye.

Just when she was feeling empty, Lin Yue sent the two-year-old child to her, so that he could accompany his sister and relieve his loneliness.

The second is his daughter-in-law. As she is the youngest daughter in the family, she has a rather domineering personality. He is also afraid that the child will not live to adulthood if he falls into her hands.

Besides, I also had some thoughts in my mind. If my sister could bring this child to live in the general's mansion, maybe something great would happen.

As Lin Yue thought, his daughter was a promising young woman.

At such a young age, he was completely fascinated by Ye Junyuan.

He could even elope with her to embarrass the Yan family.
