The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 116 Children’s Marriage

That morning, the bright sunlight shone through the window lattice and directly into the house.

Yunxi got up early and sat in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror, frowning slightly and sighing slightly.

"Madam, what's wrong? You've been sighing so early in the morning."

The maid Cui'er came over and asked with blinking eyes. Cui'er was wearing a simple green dress, with two small braids and a childish look on her face.

Yunxi gently stroked her hair, frowning even more tightly, and said slowly, "I'm worried about the children's marriages."

At this moment, the prince strode in, with a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, Madam, this matter cannot be rushed."

The prince was wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade pendant around his waist, looking very majestic.

Yunxi quickly turned around and looked at the prince, her eyes filled with anxiety. She raised her voice and said, "How can I not be anxious?

Our daughter is old enough to get married, and our son should find a good husband."

As he spoke, he unconsciously slapped the table.

The prince quickly walked to Yunxi's side, held her hand, and gently comforted her: "Madam, don't be upset, don't be upset."

Yunxi pulled her hand back and glared at the prince: "How can I not be annoyed?

Other people's children at this age have almost had their marriages arranged, but we have nothing in sight."

The prince quickly grabbed Yunxi's hand and coaxed her, "Madam, let's call the children first and listen to their ideas."

After a while, daughter Yan'er and son Jun'er came to the main hall.

Yan'er's pink dress makes her look even more charming and pretty, with a slender waist. When she walks, she looks like a flower swaying gently in the spring breeze.

Her face was as rosy as a ripe apple, and there was a hint of girlish shyness between her eyebrows.

The pearls and jade on her head swayed slightly with her steps, making crisp sounds.

As for Jun'er, he was wearing a blue robe, which made him look even more handsome and tall.

His broad shoulders seemed capable of carrying a thousand-pound weight, and his gaze was as firm and powerful as the twinkling stars in the night sky, something no one dared to underestimate.

Yunxi looked up at them and said, "Yan'er, Jun'er, I called you here today because I want to discuss your marriage with you."

After hearing this, Yan'er lowered her head even more, fiddling with the hem of her clothes with her hands, and said softly, "It's all up to my parents."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, and her face became even redder, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky.

Jun'er straightened his back and said with a firm look, "Mom, I want to build a career first and then start a family."

After saying that, he crossed his arms over his chest, looking like he would not tolerate any negotiation.

Yunxi frowned, her brows twisted into a knot, "You kid, you can have both a family and a career."

As he spoke, he tapped Jun'er's forehead with his finger.

The prince cleared his throat and said, "Let's hear what your mother thinks first."

Yunxi continued, "Yan'er, mother has noticed several young masters for you. This young master from the Li family is very talented and handsome.

His poems and essays were so well written and his appearance was very handsome. Whenever he went out, he was the focus of the crowd.

Then there was the young master of the Wang family, who came from a distinguished family and was a loyal and honest man. His family owned thousands of acres of fertile land and countless shops, and he was also incredibly honest with others.

how do you feel? "

Yan'er blushed, shook her head like a rattle, and whispered, "My daughter doesn't know."

She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Yunxi, then quickly lowered her head.

Yunxi looked at Jun'er again, "Jun'er, Mother feels that the young lady of the Zhao family is gentle, virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered.

She speaks softly, is an excellent embroidery worker, and has beautiful handwriting.

Are you interested?"

Jun'er waved his hands quickly, shaking his head like a wave drum, "Mom, I really don't care about this right now."

After saying that, he stamped his feet impatiently.

Yunxi widened her eyes in anger and raised her voice, saying, "You two kids, why are you both so troublesome?

I worry about you all the time, but you don't appreciate it at all."

As he spoke, he reached out and slapped the table, shaking the teacups on the table.

Yan'er was so scared that her body trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Jun'er also became anxious and said loudly: "Mom, I have my own ambitions and don't want to be bound by marriage so early."

Yunxi's lips trembled with anger. "You little bastard, have you grown wings?"

When the prince saw this, he quickly grabbed Yunxi and said, "Madam, calm down, calm down."

Yunxi shook off the prince's hand and said, "How can I not be angry? Other people's children are all doing well, but these two in our family are really driving me crazy."

The prince hurriedly advised: "Madam, don't be angry. It's normal for children to have their own ideas."

At this time, Yan'er raised her head and said, "Mother, I want to find someone who treats me sincerely and can accompany me for the rest of my life. I don't care about his family background."

There was a hint of stubbornness in Yan'er's eyes, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she had made up her mind.

Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Silly child, how can I not care about this?"

As Yunxi spoke, she reached out and gently patted Yan'er's shoulder, her face filled with anxiety and helplessness. "Life isn't just about sincerity. Everyday life depends on family wealth."

Jun'er also said: "Mom, I want to achieve success in my official career with my own abilities, and then it won't be too late to consider marriage."

As Jun'er spoke, he straightened his chest, looked at Yunxi with a firm gaze, and one of his hands unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Yunxi looked at the prince helplessly, "Look, what should we do?"

Yunxi's face was filled with worry, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Since the children have said so, we can't force them.

It would be better to let them go out more and make some friends, and maybe fate will come naturally."

The prince stroked his beard and looked much calmer than Yunxi.

Yunxi nodded and said, "This is the only way." As she spoke, she sighed, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

A few days later, the Marquis' Mansion held a banquet and invited many famous nobles in the capital.

Yunxi took Yan'er's hand and said, "Yan'er, you must behave well today."

Yunxi's eyes were full of anticipation, and the strength in her hands unconsciously increased.

Yan'er nodded reluctantly. She was wearing a light blue dress and a few simple pearl flowers in her hair. Although her outfit was not gorgeous, it looked fresh and refined.

But the expression on his face was dull, as if he had no interest in the banquet.

At the banquet, the young men and young ladies from various families were chatting and laughing. A few young ladies gathered together, covering their mouths and secretly looking at Yan'er, and whispering to each other from time to time.

Yan'er just stood quietly by the side, her eyes occasionally scanning the crowd with a hint of confusion.

Yunxi was busy running around, her eyes never idle, staring at those young men, and constantly calculating in her mind.

At this time, a young man named Zhang came over and bowed to Yan'er, "Greetings, young lady."

This Mr. Zhang was wearing gorgeous clothes and had a smile on his face that he thought was charming.

Yan'er returned the gift, but there was not much expression on her face.

Yunxi watched from the side, feeling secretly anxious.

I saw Jun'er sitting in the corner with his head down, showing no interest in the lively scene before him.

Although his clothes were carefully selected, they looked a little wrinkled at the moment, as if his whole body was wrinkled by this trouble.

At the banquet, everyone was laughing and talking happily, except Jun'er, who had a sad look on his face.

Yunxi looked at him and couldn't help but walk over to him, gently patting his shoulder and saying, "Son, take a look at all these girls here. Isn't there a single one that catches your eye?"

Jun'er replied sullenly, "Mom, leave me alone."

As he spoke, he tugged at the corner of his clothes in annoyance.

Yunxi shook her head helplessly and turned her gaze to Yan'er. Yan'er stood there gracefully, but her eyes were filled with confusion and indifference.

Yunxi came up to Yan'er and asked softly, "My daughter, tell me the truth. What kind of person do you want?"

Yan'er pursed her lips and whispered, "Mom, I really don't have any thoughts."

Yunxi sighed, feeling as if a huge rock was blocking her heart.

After the banquet, Yunxi took Yan'er back to her room and asked anxiously, "Did you find any young man you like today?"

Yan'er shook her head gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Mom, no."

When Yunxi heard this, he sighed deeply and said with a sad face, "What should I do?"

The days passed one by one, and Yunxi and the prince were really worried about their children's marriage.

On this day, Yunxi and the prince were discussing in the hall when suddenly a servant came to report that a young master wanted to see them.

Yunxi and the prince looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

Not long after, a handsome young man walked in.

The young man was wearing a moon-white gown, with a green jade pendant tied around his waist. His hair was combed neatly and he had a perfect smile on his face.

He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The prince raised his hand and said, "I wonder what you are doing, sir?"

The young master blushed slightly and said, "I have long been in love with your young lady and have come to ask for her hand in marriage."

Yunxi and the prince were both shocked. Yunxi hurriedly asked, "How did you find out about my daughter?"

The young man smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth, and said, "I have heard of your beautiful name for a long time. I had the honor of seeing you on the street a few days ago, and I have never forgotten you."

Yunxi and the prince inquired carefully about the young master's family background. The young master was not hurried and answered everything in detail.

The prince stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Yunxi stood aside, his eyes constantly observing the young master, pondering in his heart.

After sending the young master away, Yunxi took the prince's hand and said anxiously, "This young master looks quite good. What does Yan'er think?"

The prince frowned and said, "Let's ask Yan'er first."

When Yunxi told Yan'er about this, Yan'er's face flushed red, and she twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands and said in a mosquito-like voice, "It's all up to my parents."

Yunxi and the prince smiled at each other, and finally felt a little relieved in their hearts.

But on the other hand, Jun'er's marriage was still unresolved, and Yunxi began to worry about Jun'er's marriage again.
