Son-in-law Ding ranked fifth, neither in the front nor the youngest son.
He is seven or eight years older than Wu Chenxi. He was once a scholar, but gave up halfway and took the martial arts exam.
He is currently serving as a seventh-grade captain in the Royal Forest Army.
It is said that if he had not bumped into a member of the Meng family, he would have probably become the top scholar in Wu.
Of course these are just rumors.
Wu Chenxi didn't know much about the real situation, and Mu Ying certainly didn't know much either.
But the little girl has her own opinions about this marriage.
"It doesn't matter if you have family background or official position...it doesn't matter if you are a military commander...but why are you so old?
I heard that he is also good at drinking and fighting. With such a large family, just dealing with a house full of sisters-in-law is very tiring..."
Mu Ying's thoughts mostly represent Wu Chenxi's thoughts.
"Sister, please never find me a family like this in the future. I won't agree."
Mu Yunhan laughed when he heard it. It seemed that Wu Yanzhuang failed to deal with his daughter.
In fact, from her perspective, this matter must have been carefully considered by Wu Yanzhuang.
Wu Yanzhuang was convinced that the Zhao Kingdom would soon be in turmoil, so he must find a strong husband's family for his daughter to give her a safe haven.
For a family with few heirs and weak military force, their own survival would be in doubt, and they could not protect Wu Chenxi at all.
Families with high official positions and titles are inevitably involved in more troubles, and it is easier for brothers and sisters in the family to have conflicts over their titles.
As for Ding's son-in-law, he seems to be much older than Wu Chenxi, but his ability to abandon civility and pursue martial arts, and to become a seventh-rank captain in the Royal Forest Army at a young age, proves that he is not bad at all.
When Wu Chenxi gets married, the old husband and the young wife will definitely be favored.
When turmoil breaks out, older men have experienced more things, have wider contacts, are calm and powerful, and can better protect their wives and children.
"General Wu must have his reasons for doing this..."
Mu Yunhan told Mu Ying the speculation as repayment for Wu Yanzhuang's kindness, and she came to reassure the little girl.
"...Drinking and fighting must be within a reasonable range of control. Sometimes a man has to drink and fight when socializing. After all, he is a member of the Imperial Guard, not the Imperial Academy."
Mu Ying's eyes widened: "Really? Sister didn't lie to me? It sounds like you know this person."
Mu Yunhan then came back to his senses: "You want me to see this person, right?"
"Let's take a look together and give Sister Chen a look." Mu Ying could only shake her head and tail at her.
Mu Yunhan tapped Mu Ying's nose: "You are so stupid! I will do this for you!"
The two sisters arrived at the palace chatting and laughing.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and colors everywhere, and many trees were decorated with flowers tied with colored silk. From a distance, they looked just like the real thing.
Mu Ying clicked her tongue: "How much does it cost? Don't you mean you don't have any money?"
Her voice was very low, just enough for Mu Yunhan to hear.
Mu Yunhan sighed secretly, what can he do? Whitewash the peace.
The person who came to pick her up was still the palace servant who picked up Mu Yunhan last time to make Ruyi tea for the Queen Mother. Since he had to go to the toilet, he said it frankly, and the two of them laughed in unison as soon as they met.
Mu Yunhan met her with the gift, smiled and handed over the purse containing the small gold ingot: "I would like to wish my aunt a happy new year. May the Queen Mother be in good health?"
The palace man took it away generously and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is well and in a good mood. Miss Mu doesn't know, right? Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also came to the palace today to congratulate her." (To be continued)
