The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 74 I'm Really Afraid My Granddaughter Will Get Involved

"Sister, big sister, get up, Lieutenant General Yang is here with his men." Lu Xinyu's voice sounded outside the door.

Tang Peipei was thinking about something and didn't get enough rest yesterday. She was woken up by Lu Xinyu's voice early in the morning and felt very helpless.

Since arriving here, she hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

Of course, she had never had a good night's sleep in her previous life. It seemed that she was destined to have no fate with sleeping.

Tang Peipei thought about not keeping Yang Tingzhen waiting, so she quickly put on her clothes and left the room.

As a result, she saw Mu Jintang sitting in the main seat in the main hall, looking at her with a smile.

Tang Peipei was even more speechless. Why did this person come?

Hurry to the kitchen to get some water and wash up.

When he came back, Mu Jintang and Lu Gang were chatting enthusiastically.

Seeing Tang Peipei coming, Lu Gang greeted Tang Peipei and said, "Have you had breakfast? Your mother has heated up your meal in the pot. Go eat first and come back."

Hearing that Tang Peipei hadn't had breakfast yet, Mu Jintang quickly said, "Yes, let's go have breakfast first. We don't have anything to do today, so there's no rush."

After hearing this, Tang Peipei said hello and turned back to the kitchen.

He finished his breakfast in a few bites and hurried back to the main room.

"Where are mom and grandma?" Tang Peipei saw that apart from the guests, only Lu Gang and Lu Xinyu were at home.

Lu Gang said, "We have obtained the land deed, haven't we? They can't sit still and have gone to the back field to pick up stones."

When Tang Peipei heard that they were going to pick up stones, he quickly said to Lu Xinyu, "Xinyu, take two baskets and go to the back and ask them to pick up all the stones. I will need them later."

Lu Xinyu obediently took the basket and went to the field behind.

Tang Peipei looked at Mu Jintang and asked, "General Mu, how come you have time to come here today?"

Mu Jintang was complaining in his heart, but finally remembered to ask me.

He smiled and said, "It's a day off today. I heard that Miss Tang asked Tingzhen to find someone. Since I have nothing to do, I'll come along to see everyone."

Lu Gang could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the way Mu Jintang looked at Tang Peipei, but he didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, the gap between their status was too big, and Tang Peipei also had a child, which Mu Jintang knew.

It is impossible for someone of Mu Jintang's status to accept Tang Peipei, a village woman with a child. Even if he agrees, his family will definitely not agree.

Lu Gang thought about reminding Tang Peipei later not to do anything stupid.

Yang Tingzhen pulled a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old in front of Tang Peipei and said, "Miss Tang, this is the person I found for you. He is the child of my aunt. He has been educated and knows how to do accounting. Do you think he is suitable?"

Hearing that it was the child of Yang Tingzhen's relative, Tang Peipei was naturally relieved and said, "Okay, thank you, Deputy General Yang."

He looked at the boy and asked, "What's your name?"

The boy said, "The younger one is called Wu San."

Tang Peipei asked again: "How old are you this year?"

Wu San said: "I just turned fourteen this year."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Because my uncle is going to Suzhou, he wants you to accompany him and help him look at the documents and do the accounting. Can you do it?"

Wu San has been with Wu De for a long time. Although he is young, he knows all these things. He nodded and said, "I know all these things. Please rest assured, young lady. I will not let you suffer any loss."

The fact that they took one small bite at a time made Tang Peipei, who had no slave concept, very uncomfortable.

She said, "Wu San, you don't have to call yourself little one in our family. We are not a well-off family. Just call me Sister Pei Pei. You can call everyone in the family uncle or aunt."

Wu San looked at Mu Jintang and saw Mu Jintang nodded slightly, so he said, "I understand."

Tang Peipei invited the two of them to have lunch.

Everyone went to the fields today, and Tang Peipei volunteered to cook.

"There are not many vegetables at home. I'll go to the village to see who has some and buy some." He was about to go out.

Mu Jintang hadn't seen Tang Peipei for a long time and wanted to talk to her, so he stood up and said, "I'll go around the village with you."

As he said that, he followed Tang Peipei and went out.

Lu Gang kept shaking his head as he watched. General Mu was handsome and proactive. He was really afraid that his granddaughter would fall into it!

Looking at Yang Tingzhen who was sitting quietly next to him, he wanted to find out more.

He pretended to ask casually, "Deputy General Yang, your General Mu looks like he is in his twenties, right?"

Yang Tingzhen didn't expect the old man to suddenly ask about Mu Jintang's age. Thinking that Tang Peipei would be the general's wife in the future, the old man was also one of their own, and age was not a secret, he honestly said, "Well, today is the 22nd, my birthday in May, and after that I will be 23rd."

Lu Gang pondered and said, "Well, a family like General Mu would have already married and had children, right?"

Yang Tingzhen said, "Not yet. General Mu followed the old general to the battlefield when he was fifteen years old. After General Mu died in the war with Qi five years ago, the general took over the old general's position and has been stationed there ever since. He only came back when the border was stabilized, and it has only been these two years."

Lu Gang was surprised. He knew that Mu Jintang was a general, but he didn't expect that he was a general who had guarded the border for several years.

He asked, "But is it the General Weide who is praised by people?"

Yang Tingzhen said proudly: "That's right."

This made Lu Gang lose his composure.

It is rumored that General Wei De was young and promising. He went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and became a general at the age of seventeen. He led his soldiers to defeat the State of Qi, which had been invading our border areas. Until two years ago, General Wei De brought back the letter of surrender from Qi and the princess sent for marriage.

From then on, the border was peaceful and Qi State dared not cause trouble again.

Unexpectedly, the feared General Weide actually fell in love with his granddaughter. If he told others about this, who would believe it?

Lu Gang felt even more that he had to keep his granddaughter away from Mu Jintang, lest an ordinary family like them would suffer in the end.

Yang Tingzhen didn't know what he said wrong, why the old man's face turned blue and white.

Seeing Yang Tingzhen staring at him, Lu Gang straightened his face and said, "General Mu is so young and promising. I think his family must have arranged a marriage for him."

Speaking of this, Yang Tingzhen sighed helplessly and said, "It's hard to say. The general's mother is Princess Qinghe. The princess certainly hopes to marry a virtuous woman as her daughter-in-law, but a girl like this is definitely not suitable for a small family."

Lu Gang nodded in his heart. Just see, he will know.

Yang Tingzhen added: "But the boss really doesn't want the general to marry a girl from a wealthy family."

Lu Gang was a little confused about who the person above Yang Tingzhen was referring to. He looked at Yang Tingzhen curiously, waiting for his explanation.

Yang Tingzhen held his forehead helplessly. He forgot that the old man was just an ordinary citizen. He said, "It's the one sitting on the dragon throne."

Lu Gang was a little slow to react. Who was that person on the dragon throne?

Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at Yang Tingzhen with wide eyes. Isn't the person sitting on the dragon throne the current emperor?

Yang Tingzhen nodded, confirming Lu Gang's guess.

Lu Gang asked in confusion: "Why is that? General Mu helped pacify the border, shouldn't he be given a high position and generous treatment?"

Yang Tingzhen really couldn't tell Lu Gang what he was saying, so he could only say, "The rank of general is already the highest, so naturally he can't go up any further, or else that would be the end of him."

Lu Gang was puzzled, "What is that?"

Just at this time, Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang, who had been out, came back and brought back a lot of fresh dishes.

Tang Peipei couldn't help but feel emotional. Spring is still the best season. It is the season when all things come back to life, and there are more dishes.
