Chapter 63 Return to Beijing

Mrs. Fu shook her head and replied: "Seventh sister is eighteen years old this year, but she has not yet left the court and has not even been engaged."

Guo Wei asked strangely: "Oh? Why is this? Is Fu Guanhou's daughter still worried about getting married?"

Daughters from small families may be married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, while daughters from wealthy families are mostly engaged even if they are not married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

If you are not married or engaged by the age of eighteen, there is probably a special reason, either your parents died or you are suffering from illness.

"Seventh sister is outstanding in talent and appearance, and her vision is naturally high. Unfortunately, she was born in troubled times and young talents are withering away. It is not easy to find a suitable husband."

Guo Wei joked: "What's so difficult about this? Let your seventh sister also marry Fu Ying in the future. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for you sisters to serve the same husband together?"

Chai Rong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, please stop joking."

Mrs. Fu said, "It's true that I haven't thought about my concubine, but my Fu family's daughter cannot be a concubine. Today I have found a good candidate, so I won't bother you." After saying this, she turned to Chai Rong.

He gave me a big roll of his eyes.

Chai Rong curled his lips helplessly, "Which family's talented person is actually able to catch Madam's eyes? Tell me quickly. If it's suitable, I will personally come to the house to be the matchmaker for Seventh Sister."

"It's the Xu Dutou who came to teach me how to make ice today."

"Him!" Guo Wei and Chai Rong both said in surprise.

Guo Wei clicked his tongue and said, "Oh, Yu Ying really has no taste. How can Xu Xian catch your eye? Is he considered a young talent?"

"Xu Dutou is about the same age as my roommate, but I don't know if they are married. Although he doesn't have the appearance of Pan An and Song Yu, he has a certain bearing..."

Before Mr. Fu could finish speaking, Guo Wei smiled and said, "That guy is not married, but he hangs around in front of me all day long, and he doesn't have much bearing."

Chai Rong smiled and said, "Even if he has two tempers, I'm afraid he won't be able to show it in front of the True Dragon Emperor."

Guo Wei nodded and said: "That's true!" Xu Xian was either shoveling shit in front of him or getting scolded by him. It was strange that he could show his magnanimity.

"Although this Xu Dutou is young, his words and deeds are very decent. He can serve as the head of the palace at a young age, and he still has a big business, but his family background is a little worse. But he can do this by working alone.

His achievements show his talent!"

"If he is favored by His Majesty, it will naturally be good. It doesn't matter if he has a poor family background, as long as he has talent. You and I will lend a hand to help him, but we are afraid that he will have no future, but I am afraid that my father-in-law will not be able to get through."

Guo Wei sneered, "He has a lot of talent! I only let him serve in front of the palace to take care of the fool. He has no roots and dares to cause trouble and offend Wang Jun. If it weren't for the fact that he saved Brother Yang

For his sake, he had long been allowed to be buried in the Bianhe River by Wang Jun."

"Your Majesty said that Brother Yang was saved by him?" Chai Rong couldn't help but said in surprise. Guo Wei once asked Zhao Kuangyin to verify this matter. According to the Kaifeng Mansion soldiers who surrounded Guo Mansion, there was a man dressed as a beggar.

The man escaped alone with Yang Geer, which they learned from the torture of the servants around Mrs. Chai.

Different from Chai Rong's surprise, Fu's face was even more cheerful, "He was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, but he was able to save Yang Ge'er by riding alone in a heavy siege. He was really a young man.

hero!"

Women are emotional creatures. As long as they think you are good, they will be pleased with you. If she knew the details, I don’t know what she would think.

"It seems that Madam has really fallen in love with this guy. For Brother Yang's sake, I will give him a good marriage. He is familiar with Zhao Yuanlang, so I will let Zhao Yuanlang find out about him later."

Mrs. Fu sighed when she heard this, "No need, I have already tried his best to talk to you, and I was very resistant to his words. If what I expected is true, he probably has a sweetheart."

Chai Rong smiled and said: "Can his sweetheart be better than the daughter of the Fu family?"

Instead, a sneer appeared at the corner of Mrs. Fu's lips, "If he really gave up his old love because of the daughter of the Fu family, even if he is a leader among people, he will not have any redeeming qualities in my eyes."

Xu Xian naturally didn't know this, otherwise he would have gone to tell Mrs. Guo that he didn't have a sweetheart. After all, the Fu family's daughter was really sweet, and there would be three queens in the Fu family in the next twenty years.

As Guo Wei left Chanzhou, this great opportunity slipped away quietly. It took the army a few more days to finally return to Bianliang. Coincidentally, it coincided with the Ghost Festival and the death of soldiers during the expedition.

Quite a few, the military dependent areas outside the city were crying and howling.

Xu Xian also carried the ashes into and out of the homes of those soldiers who died in the war. It was definitely a very painful thing to face the gray-haired old man, the scrawny children and the confused and absent-minded women.

At first, Xu Xian would say some comforting words, but no matter what kind words he said, he could not stop the hysterical wailing. Later, he stopped talking at all, put down the urn and pension, and just said, "No.

I won’t care about you!” Then he turned around and left.

The imperial court had given a settlement fee in advance, and of course no more pensions would be given. The things stolen from Murong Yanchao's house were originally planned to be sold, but the profiteers kept the prices too low, so Xu Xian took them all and gave most of them to the war.

The remaining soldiers were the pensions for the families of the deceased.

Just walking out of a house, the heart-wrenching cries in the yard seemed to become more violent. Xu Xian stopped and said to the people behind him: "Find out those guys who are cheating and let them help."

Carrying out funeral arrangements for my dead brother."

Wu Liang advised: "It's not necessary. Dutou has already given them a lot of pensions. It's kind and righteous to save enough for them to spend more than ten years. The brothers in Hongjindu are not very old. See

The miserable appearance of those family members will affect the morale of the army."

"You know why I brought you soldiers here, just to show you that disobeying military orders will kill people. They won't know the severity until they get into the battle formation." Xu Xian looked at the dejected Luo Fubang and pointed hard at him with his fingers.

Pointing at his chest, "You are responsible for this matter!"

The more passionate a person is, the richer their emotions will be. Luo Fubang was obviously more emotional than others when facing the family members of the deceased. Organizing several funerals was definitely a huge torment for him, and it was much more effective than cracking a whip.

After visiting each house, Xu Xian went to Zhao Kuangyin's house again and also sent money. Naturally, it was not a pension, but Zhao Kuangyin's salary which he had eaten up long ago.

After working with Chai Rong for more than a year, Zhao Kuangyin never took any money from his family. The last time he came back, he took more than 100 yuan and was scolded by his mother.

This time he went to Yanzhou for Chai Rong and successfully lured Guo Wei to Chanzhou. There was originally a reward, but before it was distributed, Xu Xian was asked to take it first.

I don't know if Chai Rong is so generous with fifty pieces of silver. Looking at the five white pieces of silver, Mrs. Du was very happy. She wondered if she was planning to make less sausages.

"This kid from Yuen Long just wants to give the money to his father directly. He has to let Zhixian make a trip."

"Zhao Yuhou has been following the army and has not entered Chanzhou City, so he brought it to me."

"It's really troublesome. Let's have dinner at my house tonight!" Mrs. Du said and shouted to the room outside: "Ning Xiu, hurry up and cut a few kilograms of pork belly from the market."
