Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

“Mi Sheng…is indeed very suitable.”

Xiao Jiahui thought about it and realized that the quirky Liu'er paired with the somewhat simple-minded Mi Sheng was indeed a kind of complementary pairing.

"Right, you think it's appropriate too? Let's call him over and ask him what he thinks."

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui had no objections, Ren Yuan was even more satisfied with the arrangement. He then sent a junior officer to inform Mi Sheng to come over.

Mi Sheng came back with Da Jun to visit his mother this time, and he is chatting with her at home.

“Son, you’re not getting any younger, why haven’t you married a wife yet? You’re fighting on the front lines, what if something happens to you and you have no heir? How am I supposed to face your father when I go down in the world?”

Mi Sheng's mother looks much better than before. She spends her days strolling around the mountain with San Ruan's mother, Xu Guanzhong's mother, and others. When they have nothing to do, they go to the village's free clinic, help out in the kitchen, pick fruit on the mountain, and plant vegetables in the garden. Their lives are meaningful and full of hope.

Her biggest worry right now is Mi Sheng's marriage. After all, she knows her son well; he's good in every way, except that he's sometimes a little slow-witted and not very good-looking.

Asking him to fight on the battlefield is no problem, but asking him to find a wife is something even Mi Sheng's mother finds difficult.

But not looking for him wasn't an option, so Mi Sheng's mother would urge him from time to time.

"Mother, I don't need to find a wife so early. I still have to follow my brother to conquer the world."

Mi Sheng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, indicating that he wasn't in a hurry, as the world wasn't over yet!

"How old are you? Besides, can the world be conquered in a year or two? By the time you've conquered the world, you'll be too old!"

"Mother, how could this world be beyond my reach even when I'm old? Bah, heavens, my mother was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Mi Sheng clasped his hands together in front of the heavens, which amused his mother.

"You silly boy! I'm not saying that the prince's conquest of the world is going badly. I just want you to get married as soon as possible! You're always out and about, and I'm all alone at home. Having a daughter-in-law would give me something to talk to."

As the old woman spoke, she covered her face slightly.

"Mom, you must be faking it. I know you usually go out and have fun with your aunts every day. How could you be lonely?"

Mi Sheng said, "Mom, don't lie to me. I'm not so easily fooled!"

"You brat! How dare you expose your mother's secrets? Come here, let's see if I don't beat you up!"

Mi Sheng's mother blushed and stopped pretending. She grabbed the feather duster next to her and was about to hit Mi Sheng!

"Mother, Strategist Wen said that a gentleman uses words, not fists. Besides, I'm all grown up now, you can't keep hitting me!"

When Mi Sheng saw his mother grab the feather duster, he quickly slipped into the yard, pried open the door, and said to his mother.

"Well, now you've really made something of yourself, even using literary phrases. Do you think you can bully your mother because she's illiterate?" Mi Sheng's mother said to Mi Sheng, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the ground with a feather duster.

“Mr. Wen speaks of gentlemen, but your mother is a woman, and I also have to be filial. Didn’t Mr. Wen teach you to be filial to your parents? Now I’m telling you to come over and kneel down, so why aren’t you coming over right now?”

"Ugh……"

Helpless, Mi Sheng could only walk back into the house from the yard with a sullen face, and then kneel in front of his mother.

"Sigh... what a simpleton. Your father is shrewd, and your mother isn't stupid either. Who did you take after?"

Seeing her silly eldest son kneeling obediently in front of her, how could the old woman bear to hit him? She threw down the feather duster and went forward to stroke her big son's head.

"I'm just afraid that you'll have no one to take care of you in the future. What will you do if I'm not here one day?"

"Mother, what are you saying? Don't scare me. Are you feeling unwell? I'll carry you to Doctor An or Doctor Hua right now!"

When Mi Sheng heard his mother say that, he was startled, thinking that something had happened to her.

"No, Mother is fine, she's fine..."

Just as the mother and son were talking, there was a knock on the door and a shout from inside the courtyard:

Is Chief Mi at home? His Highness and Military Advisor Xiao request that Chief Mi come over.

“Brother called me? Mother, are you really alright? If you are in trouble, you must see the miracle doctor... Or how about this, I will carry you to the miracle doctor first and then go to my brother’s place.”

Mi Sheng still wanted to settle his mother down first.

“Silly boy, your mother is fine. Since it is the prince who is looking for you, that’s perfect. Your mother will go with you.”

Mi Sheng's mother seemed to have thought of something, and she gestured for Mi Sheng to get up.

"Mother, are you going too?"

Mi Sheng was somewhat surprised; what was his mother going to do?

"Yes, the princess is pregnant, and my mother and a few friends just made some clothes for the baby. We'll take them with us now."

Mi Sheng's mother took out a basket from inside the house. Inside were small clothes that she and her old sisters had knitted for Ren Yuan's children. Mi Sheng didn't suspect anything and helped his mother out the door. Then they walked towards the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

"Ah, Grandma, what brings you here?"

When they saw that Mi Sheng's mother and Mi Sheng had come together, Ren Yuan and Xiao Jiahui could no longer sit still and got up to greet them.

"This old woman greets Your Highness and the Military Advisor."

The old woman first bowed to the two men, then handed the basket in her hand to Ren Yuan:

"Your Highness, these are clothes that I and a few of my old sisters made for the future prince. They are not very exquisite, so I hope Your Highness will not find them unpleasant."

"Auntie, what are you saying? You've gone to so much trouble. On behalf of Huayun and the children, I thank you!"

When Ren Yuan received the basket of small clothes, he was deeply moved. In his life, he only had his master as an elder, and it had been a long time since he had experienced this kind of care from a female elder.

"I'm glad Your Highness doesn't mind, I'm glad you don't mind."

Seeing Ren Yuan's joyful expression, Mi Sheng's mother also smiled with relief, and then she spoke:

"Your Highness, I have come with this good-for-nothing child today because there is something I would like to ask for your permission."

"Mother, you wouldn't be..."

Mi Sheng was shocked. "Mother, what are you going to do?"

"Shut up and let me speak with the prince."

“Auntie, you don’t need to be so polite. Just say what you want to say. Besides, we also have something we’d like to tell you.”

Ren Yuan and Xiao Jiasui exchanged glances, then Ren Yuan spoke to Mi Sheng's mother.

"Then let me speak first. I've come here today to ask Your Highness for a decree so that my son can get married soon. That way, when I pass away, I can give an account to his father."

Mi Sheng's mother said very seriously.

"Oh? Hahaha, what a coincidence! To tell you the truth, we were just about to arrange a marriage for Mi Sheng!"

"Ah? Your Highness intends to personally act as matchmaker for my child?"

Mi Sheng's mother was momentarily stunned; this was quite unexpected!

“Nai Nai, it’s not just me, Military Advisor Xiao is with us too.”

Ren Yuan responded with a smile, then turned to look at Mi Sheng, who was still standing there in a daze, and grinned:

"Mi Sheng, your mother is here today, so let me ask you, do you want a wife?"
