Chapter 193 These Things Are What You, as the Sister-in-Law, Should Do

Seeing Xiaodie kneeling, Zhang Guifen instantly realized that perhaps she had frightened him a little because of her sudden show of goodwill.

So she quickly helped her up, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, you didn't do anything wrong."

Xiaodie slowly stood up, and everyone saw that she was already full of love.

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's wrong with her giving you a pair of bracelets as her sister-in-law?"

Sister-in-law?

What sister-in-law?

Xiaodie blinked, a little confused.

Minglan took the opportunity to say, "Sister Xiaodie, do you still remember General Lin Zhaoyuan?"

Brother Lin?

Xiaodie nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

Minglan smiled and said, "General Lin is my uncle's comrade-in-law. It is reasonable for him to call my aunt sister-in-law."

Xiaodie nodded slightly, but what does this have to do with me?

Wei Shu saw that she was still stupid, so he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"What a silly girl."

Minglan simply said: "General Lin asked my aunt to propose marriage. Guess which girl General Lin likes?"

After hearing this, if Xiaodie still couldn't understand, she was really stupid.

She was dumbfounded and said: "Brother Lin likes me?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wei Shuyi, Zhang Guifen and others laughed.

Xiaodie was stunned and at a loss.

Happiness came a little suddenly.

While she was distracted, Zhang Guifen had already put the bracelet on Xiaodie's wrist and said:

"If you have a good impression of Brother Zhaoyuan, this bracelet should be worn by you."

"If you don't like it, you can just throw it away. There is no reason for me to take back what I have given away."

For a moment, Xiaodie's mind was full of thoughts.

On the one hand, she was excited, but on the other hand, she was unwilling.

"I, I."

Xiaodie hesitated.

When Wei Shuyi first arrived at the Sheng family, Xiaodie became her personal maid.

So, no one knew better than Xiaodie what life Wei Shuyi, as a concubine, had lived before Wei Yuan became famous.

Since then, Xiaodie secretly vowed that she would never be a concubine for others in her life.

Even if she just married an ordinary farmer, she would still be his wife.

Wei Shuyi was a little hesitant and asked in confusion: "Why do you seem unwilling to do such a good thing?"

With a "thump", Xiaodie burst into tears.

"Madam. Xiaodie Xiaodie wants to stay with you forever!"

Wei Shuyi frowned and said: "Silly girl, why are you kneeling down again? You are not young anymore. You will get married sooner or later. General Lin is trustworthy."

As she said, she came to Xiaodie and helped her up.

Xiaodie shook her head vigorously and said, "Madam, for the sake of my years with you, please don't let me be a concubine, Madam."

A concubine?

After hearing these two words, they suddenly realized why Xiaodie was unwilling.

Zhang Guifen smiled and covered her mouth, "Who asked you to be a concubine?"

"If it was just Brother Zhaoyuan who wanted to take a concubine, why would I come in person?"

"He asked you to be his wife, to marry him with a formal matchmaker, with three letters and six ceremonies, and to welcome you into Brother Zhaoyuan's house with a sedan chair carried by eight people."

Wei Shuyi echoed, "Silly girl, the girl from the Zhang family asked you to call her sister-in-law, don't you understand?"

"If you were General Lin's concubine, why would he let you call her sister-in-law?"

A wife?

Xiaodie looked at Zhang Guifen in disbelief, then looked at Wei Shuyi, and said:

"Madam, please don't lie to me"

"General Lin is a great general and hero in the court. Even the storytellers in the city have told about Brother Lin's thousands of miles of delivering letters and hundreds of miles of raiding the border."

"How can I, a humble person, be the wife of Brother Lin?"

Delivering letters thousands of miles refers to Lin Zhaoyuan's risking his life to deliver letters to his brothers who died in the war, which is a righteous act.

Hundreds of miles of raiding refers to the fact that during the Daizhou War, Lin Zhaoyuan traveled back and forth between many prefectures in one day, delivered Zhang Fu's orders to the various armies on time, and successfully disintegrated the deployment of the Liao and Xia armies, which was a loyal act.

Whether it is the border army or the imperial army, it is really difficult to pick out someone who can travel back and forth between various prefectures in one day.

If there is, it is only Lin Zhaoyuan.

Whenever he arrived at a place, he would personally survey the terrain. No matter how bad the environment was, he could always find the nearest road, and his horsemanship was amazing.

He could accurately grasp some details, such as how to ride a horse, which could not only reduce the loss of physical strength of the warhorse, but also arrive at a certain place on time without affecting the average speed.

The scouts trained by him were all top-notch, and they were the talents that all the major armies wanted.

If even Lin Zhaoyuan had enemy situations that he could not survey and intelligence that he could not send, then no matter how many scouts and officials of the Imperial City Department came to the Great Zhou, they would be useless.

At this moment, Zhang Guifen responded: "Who said you are a lowly person? At the latest, you will not be the day after tomorrow."

Not the day after tomorrow?

How could Xiaodie not know the weight of this sentence? She was grateful and burst into tears.

"Brother Lin really doesn't dislike me?"

Zhang Guifen said: "She can't live without you."

Xiaodie has been in love with Lin Zhaoyuan for a long time. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can she miss it?

She bowed to Zhang Guifen,

"I am very grateful that you came to propose marriage in person."

"Thanks to Brother Lin for not abandoning me. If Xiaodie can be Brother Lin's wife in this life, it will be a great honor!"

It's done!

Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "Don't say you, ... Xiaodie blushed and lowered her head and whispered, "Sister-in-law."

Zhang Guifen held Xiaodie's hand, looked at Wei Shuyi and joked:

"Sister, and Ming girl, don't bully my sister-in-law in the future."

Minglan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Sister Xiaodie is our family, when have you ever bullied her?"

Hearing this, everyone smiled one after another.

After a pause, Zhang Guifen said:

"Xiaodie has no elders and is the eldest sister in the family, so the younger brother cannot make the decision."

"Xiaodie has been with the eldest sister for many years, and the eldest sister needs to take care of her."

Wei Shuyi nodded and said, "Of course, but"

"Xiaodie's marriage is not urgent for the time being."

Zhang Guifen was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "You, the eldest sister-in-law, have not yet married. How can she, the younger sister-in-law, get married before you?"

As soon as this was said, Minglan quickly agreed, "That's right, you have to marry my uncle first."

Now it was Zhang Guifen's turn to be shy,

"Eldest sister, please take care of Ming girl, she only knows how to make fun of me!"

——

Zhang Guifen had just left the Sheng family.

Wei Shuyi asked Minglan:

"I heard that you agreed to your father's request and are going to Youyang with the old lady?"

Minglan nodded, "Grandmother treats her very well, and I don't want to see her embarrassed."

Wei Shuyi frowned, "You don't want the old lady to be embarrassed, so do you want to see your uncle embarrassed?"

"Don't you know what your father is thinking?"

Minglan said, "Please rest assured, mother, I have thought about it. I will go to Youyang to visit relatives and friends."

"If I go to Suzhou and Hangzhou and meet my uncle by chance, I will persuade him not to agree to my uncle's request."

"If this is the case, my father still doesn't give up, then I will simply confront my father and Just don't make things difficult for your grandmother."

Wei Shuyi was satisfied and said:

"Your grandmother treats you well, but your uncle treats you better. Your uncle has a hard life. Don't bother your uncle because of the Sheng family's affairs."

Minglan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will never be able to repay my uncle for his kindness to me in this life."

"How can I make things difficult for my uncle because of my father's thoughts? Even if I die, I will never do anything to let my uncle down."

Wei Shuyi said, "What are you talking about?"

"How is Mu Ge'er doing with the old lady today?"

Old lady Sheng likes Mu Ge'er very much. Whenever she has something to do, she lets Wei Shuyi take Mu Ge'er to Shou'an Hall.

Minglan said truthfully: "When I went there today, Mu Ge'er had already fallen asleep at my grandmother's side."

"Mu Ge'er is very cute when he takes a nap, drooling and grinning from time to time."

Wei Shuyi was stunned and said: "He is very similar to your uncle when he was young. When your uncle sleeps, there must be someone watching him, otherwise, the drool can become a disaster."

"When your uncle was six or seven years old, he still wet the bed!"

Minglan chuckled, "If my aunt knew about this, I don't know how she would laugh."

Wei Shuyi said seriously: "It's good that you know about this, don't tell Guifen, it's not good."

It is said that Zhang Guifen had just returned to the Zhang Mansion.

I saw Lin Zhaoyuan chatting with Zhang Fu and his wife who were returning.

When he saw Zhang Guifen coming, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Zhang Guifen was very shy. After all, she said those two words in front of her parents, so she had different feelings.

"Brother Zhaoyuan, have you rested well?"

Zhang Guifen asked with a smile.

Lin Zhaoyuan said, "I have rested well, sister-in-law, I don't know if you..."

He hesitated to speak, but his expression seemed very excited.

Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "But please rest assured, brother Zhaoyuan."

The word "rest assured" made Lin Zhaoyuan feel a lot more relaxed.

"Sister-in-law, I have to go to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow. I have important things to do, so I will leave for the time being."

"Thank you for taking care of my affairs, sister-in-law!"

Staying in Zhang's house always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Although Zhang Fu and his wife treated him very politely and kindly.

Zhang Guifen wanted to keep him for dinner, but Lin Zhaoyuan insisted on leaving, so he had to leave.

After he left, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Our girl has become successful and can even be a matchmaker for others."

On the way back to the mansion, Zhang Guifen kept thinking about how to explain to her mother.

After all, if this matter were to be spread out, it would inevitably be ridiculed.

Unexpectedly, her mother was very kind.

This made Zhang Guifen a little confused.

"Mother, don't you blame your daughter?"

Mrs. Zhang asked in confusion, "Why should I blame you?"

Zhang Guifen said, "Although my daughter has an engagement, she is not married yet. It is not in accordance with etiquette to arrange marriage for others."

Zhang Fu stroked his beard and said, "When did our family have so many opinions?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and agreed, "Your father is right. You are the daughter of a general. Why do you have to stick to those customs?"

"Besides, Zhaoyuan is a brother who follows Yuan'er. You have to worry about his marriage and the marriage of Yuanzhi and Xiao Yuming in the future."

"This is what you should do as the eldest sister-in-law."
