Chapter 15 Marriage Matters
Although the people of Yuanxing have "protected the country", the people of Yuanxing have never been proud of themselves and think that they are superior to others.
Everyone understands why their ancestors fought against the Tuta people. They fought to protect their relatives and their homes, not for the emperor and the late empire.
Many people died in the battle in our Gun Family, but this was told by my second grandfather, not my grandmother. When the Battle of Yuanxingcheng occurred, my second grandfather was only four years old and I just remembered it. And my grandmother was not born yet.
The second grandfather said that he had no idea what was going on at that time, only his father, uncle, grandfather, and older brothers all cut bamboo poles in the yard and changed the bamboo poles into spears. At that time, the second grandfather was ignorant, and he asked his father, uncle, grandfather and brothers what they were doing. His father replied, "Make a gun and kill the red-haired men."
Spear and gun are completely different things, but the Gun family has long been in a downturn and become a civilian family. They can't even get a serious spear, let alone a gun. The gun technique has long been lost, and the men in the family know how to do martial arts. But even so, the ancestors still took bamboo spears to the battlefield. More than 100 people went to the branch where the second grandfather was, and only eighteen came back in the end.
The second grandfather’s father, my great-grandfather, also died in battle. Two years later, the second grandfather’s mother, also died. Because his parents died early, the lively grandfather lacked discipline, he became that way. Because of his honesty and dedication, he would not go on the evil path even if he lacked discipline.
Because we have blood debts with the Tuta people, our Gun Family hates Tuta people very much - so is me. In fact, not only our Gun Family, but all the Yuanxing people hate Tuta people. Local women who are frivolous will never accept Tuta people's guests. Only prostitutes from other places will take Tuta people's guests.
The local shops do not do business with the Tuta people. There are only a few merchants who purchase goods for the Tuta people's military base, all of which are foreign merchants. Maybe they were beaten and afraid of being beaten. The Tuta people stationed in Yuanxing City usually dare not leave the base at all. If they dare to leave the base and go to the city to play, they may suddenly disappear and they will not even be found in the end.
Compared to the respect and fear of the Yuanxing people, the Tuta people despise the soldiers of the Great Empire. This is because the army of the Great Empire was defeated by the Tuta people's army and was the weak. The Tuta people despise the weak. Except for the Third Legion, which was entirely composed of the Yuanxing people, all the legions were regarded as native chickens and tiles - that is, "Wakiyi".
The Third Legion is indeed very powerful. As a garrison, their combat effectiveness is no different from the Eighth Legion, which is a field legion, and its equipment is comparable to that of the Guard Legion.
If the Third Legion had not been extremely loyal to the emperor, there would have been no such thing as the Eighth Legion entering the capital. If the Eighth Legion commander who had been proclaimed as emperor was too arrogant and touched the interests of the Third Legion, he would not have been killed - Oh, by the way, Si Congpo told me the matter of the Third Legion casually. Because it sounded very interesting, I wrote it down.
The old farmer and I stayed at home for another three days, and played casually in Anminfang. We returned to the army on the evening of the 21st. The soldiers in the company basically came back. This was not because they were willing to stay in the military camp, but because they lost the allowance and could not continue playing outside, so they had to come back.
There are a few who haven't come back. They are in the surrounding county town. They go home to visit relatives and can come back in two days. I have approved them ten days off, which means that there are still five days left before the holiday is officially over, and there is plenty of time.
Actually, I also want to stay at home for a few more days, but as soon as I got home, my father, mother and grandma would surround me, busy with me. They were not in good health and needed to be raised and could not always work hard for me.
Also, my family always wants to find a wife for me. Since my life got better, my mother started to find someone to match me. My father often whispered in my ears that the family members of the Gun family were not prosperous, so they would have children early when they got married, and if they had children, they would have inherited their own family.
Maybe it was because my father got married late, and I was not in a hurry at all in the marriage. Sometimes I would joke with my father that you can marry such a young and beautiful girl as young as my mother when you get married at 28. What if I am a few years later? If it really doesn't work, I will be a little ahead of you. If it's 27, is it okay to marry like this?
Then my father would pick up a broom and chase me. I would run away with a smile and not let him hit me. But every time I would be caught by my mother, and I would be pinched into my thighs and scream in pain.
"Master Gun, aren't the girl who had dinner with me yesterday good? Didn't you like it?"
At noon on the 22nd, after lunch, the old farmer found me and said he was going out for a walk. At first, the old farmer was just chatting, and when he was about to leave the military camp, he asked this question.
I knew that he was exploring the slightest, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be my mother. When we left home last night, my mother pulled the old farmer aside and muttered for a long time, and then the old farmer nodded happily. At that time, I knew that the old farmer had been bribed by her mother and was not her own.
Fortunately, I was prepared. Yesterday, when I was having a blind date, I was carefully looking for all the places that might make my mother unhappy, and I found them.
"The girl is pretty good, but her mother is too noisy."
When I recalled the mouth that was comparable to a machine gun, my head began to ache.
"Depending on her attitude, as long as I marry her daughter, I have to support her whole family. Damn it, I am looking for a wife, not an ancestor, I deserve her?"
"Oh, Gun Master, they may be afraid that you will bully her daughter, so they said that."
"Ha? Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Not like it or not! It doesn't look like it at all!"
"Then why did she say that there are those that are not there? Besides, if she is afraid that I will bully her daughter, can she say something else? Why are you talking about my house? Why do you say that, how can you live in such a place with such a figure? You will definitely buy a big house in the future. Let's leave this small place for us little people - I'll go to your mother! I haven't achieved anything yet, so I'm thinking about my house! Who are these people?"
"Well, my mother also said that the girl is not reliable."
The old farmer nodded in agreement - Look! He is indeed not his own!
"Then find someone reliable next time?"
"Let's talk about it." I shook my head with a wry smile, "Marriage depends on fate. When fate comes, it will naturally become. If fate is not there, even if you like it, it will not become."
"That's right...well?"
The old farmer suddenly raised his neck and looked at me like a groundhog who discovered the enemy situation.
"Master Gun, do you have anything you like?"
Wow! I didn’t expect this guy to be quite insightful!
"No, I just said that."
"Hehe! Want to scare me?" the old farmer grinned, "You must have something you like!"
"No, no." I shook my head repeatedly, "I am not a lie."
"Turn!" The old farmer glared at his eyes, "You, Master Gun, have a mouth that looks like you, you never bring a draft to lie. The team leader can be fooled when he comes. If you want to lie, you are not like playing? Let me tell you the truth, I came with our mother's mission today! You can explain the words to me immediately! What kind of thing you want!"
