My imagination has come true

After the autumn harvest, every household in the villages near Houquan Mountain is full of food, and it is a prosperous scene.

But before they were happy for a few days, the frontier fortress rushed to deliver urgent military reports of 100,000 yuan.

Emperor Yongchang sat in the imperial study with a sullen face, and the civil and military ministers on the left and right were arguing.

It's still the kind that's boiled to a crisp.

"Those uncivilized barbarians in the north live in pursuit of water and grass every year. They are just worried that the vegetation will wither in winter and there will be no food to eat. They deliberately build up some momentum to plunder one or two things. They do this every year. Isn't it very new? It only makes people in Dazhengguan pass The two generals, Hao and Li, were on strict alert, gave them warnings, and negotiated with them. At most, they could just give them more rewards, so why go to war?"

The Minister of Household Affairs said anxiously.

When Zhang Jie heard the reward from the Ministry of War, he became furious when he heard what he said: "What Prime Minister Zou said is wrong. If we, Daxi, can tolerate it today and tomorrow, and compromise and give rewards whenever something happens, the barbarians will treat me more and more like a fat piece of meat. Do you all want to take a bite?"

Several main war factions nearby also spoke out.

"Looking at the military reports, this year's situation is very different from previous years. There are faint signs of the grassland tribes deciding on the leader of the tribe."

"Prince Chaoge of the Jinta tribe, under the slogan of revenge for their Golden Pagoda Pearl, led a surprise attack on Yanjing Pass with 30,000 cavalry. Countless officials below the magistrate of Xuanzhou and the people of the city defended the city desperately, and finally waited for reinforcements."

"If there is even the slightest mistake and Chaoge is allowed to attack Xuanzhou and enter Dazhengguan, it will be a flat river and it will directly attack the capital. How many people will suffer along the way? Just a large amount of food that cannot be harvested in time is enough to ruin the situation in Chaoge. It’s getting out of hand.”

"If we don't give them a heavy blow, we will only encourage their arrogance!"

The emperor's small team held a meeting overnight, and Mu Qingyun also caused trouble on the Roaring Spring Mountain.

She has a student named Sun Mei, whose home is in Dazheng Mansion, only thirty miles away from Dazheng Pass.

Previously, Sun Mei went to her sister-in-law's house to visit relatives, but she was attacked and killed by bandits at her sister-in-law's house. While running away, she accidentally got separated from her family and entered the capital with the refugees. By chance, she came to Roarquan Mountain.

Mu Qingyun didn't have a deep impression of Sun Mei, but he still remembered that she seemed to be a mediocre little girl in all aspects.

She can be said to be pretty in appearance, but compared to Zhao Di's eye-catching beauty, she is inconspicuous.

He's not very smart either. He works hard at studying and attending classes, but he's just an ordinary student.

However, she was careful and considerate in her behavior. Mu Qingyun remembered that every time she was responsible for the sanitation of the library and private cinema, she would even wipe the windows clean, and there was no irritation in her work.

About three months ago, the child could not find any information about his sister-in-law, so he finally mustered up the courage to tell Mu Qingyun about his origins.

Mu Qingyun contacted a well-known escort agency in the capital to escort her along with the army transporting baggage.

Not long ago, the escort agency sent back a letter from Sun Mei reporting that she was safe.

The little girl didn't say much in the letter, but Xia He and the others couldn't help but talked privately for a long time, saying that Sun Mei's emotions revealed in every line of her words were full of unhappiness, it would be better to shout back at Quanshan, and everyone would be happy. Happy to study in class.

There is no need to worry about having no way out in the future.

"The child is fifteen years old. I heard that her parents arranged a marriage for her in her early years and only waited for her to get married when she was old enough. Alas, it was too early after all."

"I didn't think there was anything wrong with getting married and having children before. The best destination and luck for a woman is to meet a beloved person who she can trust for the rest of her life?"

"Now I can't help but think, I study so hard every day and it's just because I have a headache. Is it just to get married?"

"When I marry, it means I belong to that family. From now on, I can't control my wealth and my life. What kind of man can give me such a huge reward that I have to take such a big risk?"

"If the other party doesn't treat me as well as a young lady, and I can't let the young lady teach me knowledge, give me the means to make a living, and save me from worries, why should I be willing to marry him?" Xia He said sincerely. Hua'er and Duo'er looked at each other.

Hua'er couldn't help but think of her mother complaining to her privately that the girls near Houquan Mountain were all spoiled by fairies and were domineering and arrogant, and they might not be able to get married in the future.

"..."

She deeply suspected that many girls deliberately set their sights high just to get married later.

Aunt Wang also said that she was worried about the marriages of the older young men in the village.

She reported everything to the fairy. She held various social gatherings four or five times a month, but there were only a few people who liked her.

Hua'er remembered that in the past two months, the men in the village gathered together to get married, and they all married young ladies from outside the village.

Some rotten literati outside even said a few snarky words about this, saying, "You won't even marry the men in your own village, so you can never get married." '

The girls didn't take it seriously, but the men in the village were very angry.

Does that mean they don't want to marry?

If you can marry, of course it will be much better to marry a girl from this village who knows everything about you.

However, among the refugees, the stronger men were more likely to survive, and their numbers held an overwhelming advantage.

There are few girls, and even fewer girls of the right age.

There are also more men than women in the village.

Men want to marry a girl from their own village, go to class with them, make as much money as themselves, and have as much ability as they do. How can it be that easy?

It is already difficult, but these narrow-minded people outside are trying to add obstacles to them. It is really hateful!

Speaking of which, Sun Mei, Mu Qingyun's cheap student who returned home, encountered a dilemma this time. First of all, it was a major crisis.

Second, parents force you to marry.

Thirdly, there are actually one or two points that were caused by the harsh words of others.

Sun Mei's fiancé's father was a general in Dazhengguan. Before the Jinta tribe invaded the border, he made a mistake of rashly advancing and killed many of his colleagues. Now someone has caught him and wants to punish him for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Anyway, the fiancé’s house is in chaos.

Sun Mei was determined to break off the engagement.

She doesn't want to get married too early, and also wants to go back to Houquan Mountain to attend classes and study with her friends.

This matter was a bit difficult, as her parents were quite stubborn, but when she returned to her hometown, not only did the fairy personally give her money, but her friends also generously donated their money. In addition, she had saved so much silver and ten thousand gold that it was hard to find, so she could only find it in legends. Some of the information made her come back so beautiful that even her grandfather, who had never been able to recognize the faces of his granddaughters, became much more friendly when talking to her.

Sun Mei is somewhat confident that she can convince her parents.

But now when something happens at the fiancé's house, things become a little troublesome.

In the past, when her family was doing well, her family was a high-ranking one, so she would not break off the engagement. Now that her family is in trouble, she instead breaks off the engagement. What will people think?

Sun Mei's father and grandfather were all concerned with face and reputation, and they would never be blamed for being ungrateful just because of her daughter.

As soon as the incident came out, Sun's father immediately went to find someone to discuss the wedding date. (End of chapter)
