The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

In February of the 23rd year of Jinghe, the first emperor passed away, leaving a will to marry the Shen family and the Sima family.

In March of the same year, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Jingping. The first imperial decree was to execute the last emperor's last edict.

Above the huge court hall.

The new emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sat upright, with a majestic look, "Sima Aiqing, Shen Aiqing, you two should finish this matter as soon as possible, and fulfill my father's last wish."

Sima Boyi immediately stood up, his expression not very good. "Return to Your Majesty, my son is guarding the city in the frontier, and has not returned to the capital for 12 years."

"Then I will order him to come back." One sentence blocked him from saying anything.

Shen Qiwen's face was even more ugly, and he thought for a long time before bowing his hands, "I obey the order, thank the late emperor Long En, and thank Your Majesty for the grace."

On the day of the next court, many officials came to "congratulate", but Shen Qiwen couldn't lift a smile no matter what, and people said so when they saw him.

"The general of Sima's family occupies a high position at a young age, so there is no need to look downcast."

"I'm afraid they dislike their family for having a high official position but being poor. Among the officials, who doesn't know the Sima family..."

"The three girls from Mr. Shen's family are all as beautiful as flowers. No matter which one you choose to marry, it will be cheaper. Old man Sima will get a good daughter-in-law."

"..."

Shen Qiwen didn't want to argue with him, so he threw up his sleeves and left in anger.

"Master is back." Hearing a yell, the woman sitting in the lobby wearing a mink fur coat stood up and went out to greet her. The gold hooks on the earrings were particularly eye-catching, revealing elegance and luxury everywhere. The most domineering woman in the family.

"master."

Shen Qiwen came back with a straight face, "Call all the daughters to the lobby."

Meng Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and immediately covered her mouth, a look of panic appeared on her pale face smeared with makeup, "Is the Holy Majesty still making an order?"

Shen Qiwen looked at her, "This is the late emperor's edict, and you must not disobey it."

All of a sudden, the entire Shen family compound became a mess, "What about Second Miss, the master told her to go to the lobby, and quickly bring Second Miss back."

"Miss, miss, the master wants you to go to the lobby..." a servant announced out of breath.

"Miss San, are you there?" The boy was afraid to step into this other courtyard, and only dared to call from afar. The third miss of their family is a well-known plague god, and whoever gets close to her will be unlucky. .

At this time, a goose-yellow figure flashed out, "My lady is resting, what's the matter?" The person who spoke was the maid Rachel.

"The master is back from the court, and I urgently announce to all the ladies to go to the lobby." The young man said while supporting the wall.

"I see, I will report it, you go." Rachel turned around after speaking, and couldn't help muttering, "Everyone is afraid of death, my lady is so scary." Just thinking about it, she staggered, Almost fell down on the steps, Rachel took a while to get up and run in.

Behind the bead curtain, a woman was reclining on a soft couch with half-closed eyes, her skin was as white as snow, there was a small mole on the tip of her small and delicate nose, her face was as small as a palm, but her facial features were as exquisite as a fairy in a painting, camellia-colored The forged silk robes are unremarkable, implying the owner's indifferent character.

"Miss, a servant just came to report that the master asked you to go to the lobby of the front yard."

Shen Zhaoxue opened her eyes, "Rachel, what time is it?"

"Miss Hui, it's already noon."

"Have I been asleep for so long?" Shen Zhaoxue sat up slowly, and Rachel hurried forward to give her a hand.

"Miss, I think this time the master must be talking about his marriage with the Sima family. General Sima is rumored to be a vicious and ugly person. Miss, you must never marry him." Rachel worried.

Shen Zhaoxue smiled lightly, "Rachel, whether to marry or not is not something I can decide on my own. My mother left early, and I don't have much say in this family." Between the words, the eyes of the 15-year-old girl At the end, she was stained with a maturity and depth that did not belong to her age.

"But Miss, after all, it's a major marriage matter, you must fight it out!"

"Let's go there earlier, it's time for Dad to scold me when it's late."

Rachel nodded, and hurriedly brought her a cloak. In March, it was very windy in Tianjing City, and the lady's other courtyard was very remote, and there was still a long way to the lobby of the front courtyard.

Sometimes she doesn't understand why they can't be treated equally as they are both the master's daughters. The suffering and bullying her young lady has suffered are beyond counting.

"If you want me to say, just marry Shen Zhaoxue, a bastard, to the Sima family. Maybe our Shen family will be able to turn around." Meng Xianglan sat by Shen Qiwen's side and gave him advice.

Shen Qiwen looked stern, "Let's discuss this matter after the girls come."

"Second Miss is back."

"Father, mother!" A quirky girl jumped in, and what caught her eyes was a pair of red fragrant sheepskin boots, which were personally made by the best and most expensive shoemaker in Beijing this year. Similarly, she is one of the nobles in this family, Shen Zhaoan, the daughter of the Shen family.

"Look at you, there is no big or small, come to mother quickly." Meng Xianglan's precious daughter.

Shen Zhaoan walked over and leaned on Meng Xianglan's body, showing off his shoes, "How about it, I just went to pick it up this morning, the master has been making it for half a month, do you look good?"

"It's beautiful."

Shen Qiwen coughed, "You're wasting money again, learn more from your eldest sister and third sister."

"Humph." Shen Zhaoan snorted, "What is there to learn from them, Shen Zhaoxue, that unlucky ghost, and the elder sister, who always look like they are harmless and good to everyone, she is the most scheming Already!"

As soon as the words fell, the eldest sister Shen Zhaoping that Shen Zhaoan was talking about appeared, and her mother was also the second concubine of the Shen family, Mrs. Wang.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Shen Zhaoan had a good temper, or she knew how to control herself when she shouldn't lose her temper.

"Sister, dad, hello mistress." Shen Zhaoan bowed his head.

Shen Qiwen looked around, "Isn't Zhaoxue here yet?"

"Maybe it's because I was afraid and hid in the side courtyard and didn't come on purpose." Meng Xianglan said leisurely.

"Sanmei Bieyuan is located in a remote place, and it takes some distance to come here, so I can forgive you for being late." Shen Zhaoping said.

"Yes, let's wait a little longer." Mrs. Wang continued.

Meng Xianglan rolled her eyes in displeasure, she couldn't bear the sight of their mother and daughter singing together in front of the master, and completely ignored her as the main wife.

Shen Zhaoxue was the last one to arrive. After saying hello, she found the most remote seat and sat down. Because she had been bad since she was a child, no one dared to approach and touch her. This seat has become a family memory for many years. Shen Zhaoxue is used to the exclusive seat.

"Now that all are here, the old man is going to talk about the business. I think you can all guess that last month, the late emperor died and left a will, which is to let the Shen family and the Sima family marry each other, because the whole country is mourning. So far, the first thing the late emperor did when he ascended the throne was to obey the late emperor's edict, and obey your wishes as a father, and now you can express your opinions."

After the words fell, Shen Zhaoan was the first to speak, "Anyway, I don't want to marry into the Sima family. It's fine if the whole family is a reckless man who practices martial arts. That Sima Yun has no money and is ugly. I don't want to suffer that." Said Wan pouted and crossed his arms with both hands, extremely aggressive.

Meng Xianglan hurriedly comforted her precious daughter in a low voice, "Mother won't let you marry, don't worry."

Shen Zhaoping smiled, hiding a hint of sarcasm. "My sister has never met General Sima, so how dare she say such remarks."

"Everyone in the capital said so, it's just too horrible to kill people like hemp." Shen Zhao'an cuddled up to his mother pitifully, coquettishly.

"Where's Zhaoxue?" Shen Qiwen looked over, but the little girl remained silent.

"Zhaoxue...Zhaoxue listens to father's arrangement." Shen Zhaoxue answered with her head bowed slightly.

Shen Zhaoan was overjoyed, hugged his mother's arm and whispered, "Look, there are still fools."

Meng Xianglan patted her to tell her not to talk and to watch the show.

Shen Zhaoping was about to speak, but Madam Wang grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "Be obedient, don't..."

Shen Zhaoping had no choice but to endure it.

Shen Qiwen looked around for a week, and asked again, "If neither Zhaoping nor Zhaoan have any objections, then Zhaoxue will be settled." In fact, this is the most satisfactory answer sheet, and it should be so, even Shen Qiwen, the head of the family, likes it. It is generally believed that he has never been on good terms with Sima Boyi, and this marriage was forced to do so by imperial decree. Fortunately, the child Zhaoxue is sensible and took the initiative to stand up to share his worries.

After the meeting.

Shen Zhaoping finally spoke out, "Mother, why did you stop me from talking?"

Mrs. Wang took her daughter's hand and said, "I won't let you marry the Sima family. Even Meng Xianglan understands this, so why doesn't my mother not?"

"But mother, no matter how bad General Sima is, no matter how bad the world says, he is still a first-rank garrison general, and our father is only a third-rank imperial envoy. After your daughter marries him, you will be able to support him more or less in this family." Get up." Shen Zhaoping was upset.

Mrs. Wang shook her daughter's hand, "Zhaoping, you don't understand a lot of things. Mother and you will be confused for a while. In short, your father and Sima Boyi are two opposing factions in the court... Believe mother, In the future, there will be better sons from aristocratic families."

Shen Zhaoping pouted, "I see."

When Shen Zhaoxue came out, Rachel was waiting outside, "Miss, how are you?"

She didn't speak but told her the answer with her eyes, Rachel's face immediately pulled down, "Miss..."

Shen Zhaoxue smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's just getting married, not going to die."

"But what's the difference between this and jumping into a pit of fire! People in the capital shy away from just mentioning Sima Yun's name. Miss, you should think twice."

"Rachel, you have to know, I have no choice in this matter." Shen Zhaoxue looked at her seriously, then turned her face away, and raised her hand to stroke the ivy in the flower pond beside her, "It's like it, life Yu Si grew up in Si, but he doesn't have the slightest ability to control his own destiny."

Shen Zhaoxue knows very well that this family meeting is just a formality. After all, if it is a good thing, how can it be her turn? Only the things that everyone avoids will be remembered by everyone. Even if she refuses today, father will also Find a way to marry her to the Sima family.

Rachel was so distressed that she took Shen Zhaoxue's hand and said, "Miss, no matter where you go, Rachel will be by your side. From now on, if that Sima Yun bullies you, Rachel will fight him desperately!"

Shen Zhaoxue patted her hand lightly, "Little fool."

outside.

The sky was full of yellow sand, and there was no grass growing in a radius of a hundred miles. This was the farthest place from the capital, and Sima Yun's team set up camp here.

"Report! It's eight hundred miles from the capital and it's urgent."

A heroic woman with a high ponytail took it, "Give it to me, I'll take it to the general." Then she looked at the man beside her and asked, "It's been a long time since I received a letter from the capital, what do you think will be in it? "

Qin Sun shook his head, "How could I guess, take it in and give it to the general."

Wei Xue didn't hesitate as soon as she opened the tent, "General, it's a letter from the capital." Qin Sun also followed curiously. They are Sima Yun's left and right assistants, and they have a very good relationship with her.

The person sitting at the table flipping through the military documents was dressed in a military uniform, with a man's hair in a bun, his gestures were no different from that of a man, his nose was high, his eyes were cold and his eyebrows were indifferent, he was born extremely beautiful and handsome.But there is a big secret in her body, and this secret, other than her father and her grandfather, only her two confidants know.

Back then, Sima Yun's mother risked her life to give birth to her. The only child of the Sima family who fought in the battlefield for several generations was a girl. Sima Boyi couldn't accept this fact, so he raised her as a boy since he was a child. He was trained outside the border, and he also claimed to be a man to the outside world. After so many years, no one in the capital has seen Sima Yun's real face, and rumors spread everywhere.

Therefore, Sima Boyi was caught off guard when the edict of the first emperor came down. His own family was a daughter. How could he marry a girl? Isn’t this a mess? One step forward is against the edict, and the next step is a crime of deceiving the emperor , is a dead end, he was forced to resist this huge "reward".

Sima Yun took the letter from Wei Xue, unhurriedly opened it to read, then his face changed drastically, and he threw the letter on the ground.

"General, what...what's the matter?" Wei Xue asked curiously.

"Pick it up and have a look and you'll know?" Qin Sun suggested, then bent down to pick it up and looked with Wei Xue, it was a letter from the old general, Sima Boyi, Sima Yun's father.

"General...General," Qin Sunzuo stammered, "You have been given a marriage, Shen... the third daughter of the Shen family?"

Wei Xue frowned, and couldn't help being considerate of the general, "But they don't know that you are..."

Sima Yun said with a sullen face, "I refused, you go down and do it."

Qin Sun was a little apprehensive, "But this is an imperial decree, General, you will die if you resist the decree."

"..." Sima Yun was quiet, and then said, "The military is busy with affairs, and I don't have time to go back to Beijing to get married."

Qin Sun swallowed his saliva in fear, Wei Xue opened the curtain and went out with a downcast face.
