Chapter 193
Seeing all the servants leave the room, Mrs. Geng explained to Mr. Geng in a low voice: "The master looks at her very well, but the emperor and queen also think she is good."

"What?" Master Geng was also in a daze, what does this have to do with it, what does it have to do with the emperor and queen for him to arrange a marriage for his son.

Mrs. Geng said again: "The master just returned to the capital, so of course he doesn't know what happened recently. The story about Xiao Mingzhu saving Miss Ding in Ding's manor spread to the emperor's ears, and the emperor praised her as a brave and fearless general." Tiger girl, she also gave her a silver whip and a martial arts nurse. During Laba, the queen gave her a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin, and then called her into the palace. It is said that she was still in the palace. Second Prince. If it wasn't for..." Mrs. Geng paused for a moment, then quickly said: "If Xiao Mingzhu wasn't still young, the emperor would have decreed the marriage a long time ago."

Master Geng frowned slightly, not ignoring Madam's untimely pause.

The emperor wants to bestow a marriage, no matter how young or not, it's not like letting the girl marry right away.I'm afraid that the reason why the emperor didn't grant the marriage right away was because the eldest prince went to Xin'an, and Xiao Huai'en, who had returned to Beijing to report on his duties, had no choice but to return to Xin'an to find the whereabouts of the eldest prince.

But now that Xiao Huai'en is missing, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in this marriage.The emperor will take care of the young and old in the general's mansion because of Xiao Huaien's achievements, but he will never refer to a girl who does not have the support of a strong natal family as the second concubine.

But if you can't be a main concubine, you may not be able to be a side concubine.

Seeing Mr. Geng's silence, Mrs. Geng knew that he must have thought of the things she didn't say, and hurriedly pushed his shoulder: "Master, I know you want to keep your promise to General Xiao, but you don't want to think about it. So entrusting your loved ones to you, isn't it because you want you to keep everything in the General's Mansion for them and take care of them? If you can't take care of yourself, how can you talk about taking care of them? Besides, will Mrs. Xiao cope with the current situation of the General's Mansion? After all, it's hard to say, after all, marrying our Geng family is not as honorable as entering the royal family."

These words reached Mr. Geng's heart. He thought of the title competition in the Xiao family decades ago, and understood that if Xiao Huaien had a good or bad thing, history would repeat itself.It's just that this time, Wynn has no male under his knees, and the young and old in the general's mansion may be in a more difficult situation.What Mrs. Xiao will do is really unpredictable.

He nodded slowly: "Okay, first go to the general's mansion to find out what Mrs. Xiao means before making a decision." No matter what, he has to be right with Xiao Huaien!
Madam Geng saw that he let go, but she didn't insist anymore.

Master Geng and his wife arrived at the General's Mansion with different thoughts.

After entering the side hall, Mr. Geng saw Xiao Mingzhu who was waiting by the hall door. Xiao Mingzhu stepped forward and gave a blessing: "My niece has met Uncle Geng."

Lord Geng helped her up: "You're welcome."

Madam Geng frowned, but quickly covered it up, she said: "Miss Xiao, have you ever reported it to Madam Xiao?"

Xiao Mingzhu replied: "A few days ago, when the battle report was sent in, the family received the news that my grandmother fell ill at that time. I wanted to know the situation of my father at that time, so I have been here since I received Uncle Geng's post." Waiting."

Master Geng was taken aback, did they know the news a few days ago?It seems that Madam's speculation is not without purpose, and he has a little more concern about the marriage of the two families.If the emperor really chooses Xiao Mingzhu for the second prince, no matter if he is a concubine or a concubine, he will definitely be angered by the emperor if he cuts off the beard!He has to carefully weigh the importance of saving his life and the future of his whole family and even the whole clan.

Mrs. Geng glanced at Xiao Mingzhu's big red dress without showing any trace, she didn't like it at the moment, she quickly concealed her displeasure, and said softly: "Then let Uncle Geng tell you in detail, I will Go see your grandmother first."

Xiao Mingzhu didn't think too much, and called a little girl casually: "You lead Mrs. Geng to the main courtyard."

After Mrs. Geng left, Mr. Geng asked first for the sake of commissioning: "You already know about your father's disappearance in Xin'an?"

On the way, he was still thinking about how to talk to Xiao Mingzhu.

Xiao Mingzhu nodded: "Yes, the emperor has sent someone to notify me."

Lord Geng no longer struggled anymore, sighed softly, and said: "At that time we were besieged in Huyueyuan. Later, he made people pretend to be the eldest prince, and he broke through from the east to attract the attention of the enemy. .”

Seeing that Xiao Mingzhu's face turned pale, he immediately said: "Don't worry, you know that the terrain of Huyueyuan is dangerous, but your father is very familiar with the terrain there. .There is no news now, but it is good news. Don't worry."

Xiao Mingzhu's complexion looked better now.

Huyueyuan is only two hours away from Qingshi Mountain. As long as he can enter the range of Qingshi Mountain, his father must be safe.

Xiao Mingzhu saluted Mr. Geng, "Thank you, Uncle Geng."

Mr. Geng said: "Son, why are you so polite to me?"

Xiao Mingzhu asked Master Geng to refill tea, and then asked some details.Mr. Geng answered every question, but his answers were very vague, as if he was hiding something.After Xiao Mingzhu found out, she accepted it as soon as it was good, and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Mrs. Geng came back, and Mrs. Geng took the opportunity to get up and leave.

The curtain of the car was lowered and left the General's Mansion. Mr. Geng asked impatiently, "What did Mrs. Xiao say?"

Mrs. Geng said: "Mrs. Xiao took the jade pendant back."

"Take it back?" Master Geng was taken aback.

So that's all for this marriage?

He leaned against the wall of the car weakly, his mind was at a loss, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Mrs. Geng just nodded and said nothing more.

Xiao Mingzhu sent Mrs. Geng and his wife away, and was about to go back to her small courtyard, when she was stopped by Shuxiang who was waiting outside: "Girl, Madam, please go over."

Xiao Mingzhu stopped, and the expression on her face made it impossible to see what she was thinking.

"Girl..." Nanny Shang couldn't help but call her; "How about you go over there? Maybe the old lady has something to discuss with you."

Xiao Mingzhu moved, and smiled: "That's right." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.

Aunt Shang was stunned for a moment, and felt a little regretful at the moment. She really shouldn't have advised her like this.But now it's too late to regret, so I can only catch up quickly.

When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw Song Yuru telling the girl something from a distance in the corridor. When she saw Xiao Mingzhu, she flinched and immediately lowered her head.

As if Xiao Mingzhu didn't see her, she walked past her and went straight into the house.

Song Yuru raised her head when she heard the sound of the cotton curtain falling, and looked at the cotton curtain viciously.

Why are you so proud, you are also an orphan now.
