Chapter 171 – Encounter

Jiang Yishi said, “Sister, I have important matters to discuss with Uncle Wu. You guard the door and don’t let anyone disturb us.”

Hearing this, Sister Wu hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall house, standing under the corridor.

Jiang Yishi retreated to the east side of the house and closed the door again. She didn’t sit on the window-facing kang, but on the circle chair against the wall.

“Uncle Wu, what’s going on, you can tell.”

She felt that it was likely that Hu’s real family members had committed some great crime and carried Hu to her maternal ancestor’s house as a child. And Mrs. Zheng knew Hu’s true origin, and their two families happened to have a grudge ……

Great Uncle Wu walked over to Jiang Yishi and sighed heavily, his eyes turning to the window again, recalling things that had been a long time ago.

The old master Hu is a humble scholar, but also square and mute, not very good at understanding the world. In Shaanbei do more than ten years of eight small county minister, only in nearly forty years of age when he met to inspect the Lord Li, the two people are actually the same hometown. With the help of Lord Li, he was finally promoted to the county magistrate of Fengping County in the outskirts of the capital.

Elder Hu brought his wife, his sixteen-year-old daughter, and his fourteen-year-old second son to his post. The eldest son had already passed the examination and was studying at the Xiqingfu Academy, so only he and his wife and children did not come.

Hu Mingya looks bright and beautiful, excellent charm, and quite a bit of talent, is a flower of that small county. The old master is very favor this daughter, picking people to pick the eyes, so that the sixteen-year-old has not found a suitable family. He was promoted to an official position and thought he could find a better husband in the capital.

Once Hu Mingya took the nursemaid and the maid to the temple incense, car driver in the mountain, only the three women went up the mountain. The nursemaid is Wu Dabo’s mother old Wu Sister, the little girl is fourteen-year-old Qin Sister, the girl’s name is Evening, and the coachman is Wu Dabo’s father, Wu Laozhang.

After the incense, they were on their way down the mountain when they encountered a sudden downpour, and they ran to a pavilion on the mountain to take shelter from the rain. In their haste, Hu Mingya and old Sister Wu, who was supporting her, accidentally fell, bleeding their hands and knees.

There happened to be a handsome young general in the pavilion, and he gave them the ointment he was carrying.

After the rain stopped they went their separate ways, neither expecting to cross paths again in the future.

Three days later it happened to be the Mid-Yuan Festival, Hu Mingzhuo, the second son of Hu Mingzhuo, took his sister Hu Mingya to the river outside the city to release lotus lanterns. Because there are too many people, Hu Mingya and the girl Evening Harvest, who were having a good time, got separated from the second son of Hu.

Hu Mingya and Evening Harvest were scared when they first came here and it was nighttime, so they searched for the second son of Hu all the way. What they didn’t know was that there were a few young rascals who had been trailing them, coming up to molest them when no one else was around.

Just as a young general passed by, the few hooligans beat away.

And that junior general was the same person they had met in the pavilion three days ago.

Both of them recognized each other, smiled, and uttered two words at the same time.

“Coincidence.”

“Coincidence.”

The young general cupped his fists again and smiled, “My name is Zheng, may I ask the girl ……”

Hu Mingya had grown up in a small county since she was young, and didn’t have that much to say, smiling, “My surname is Hu, and my father is the magistrate of Fengping County.”

General Zheng Xiao also knew that the new county magistrate’s surname was Hu, and laughed, “That’s a coincidence. I am the general of the Five Unity, and the Five Regiment Battalion is not far from Fengping County …….”

As the two were talking, the terrified Second General Hu looked for him.

When Hu Mingzhuo heard that Little General Zheng had done his sister a favor, he clasped his fists, thanked him, and took his sister away.

A few days later, on a day off from school, Hu Mingzhuo, who was attending the county school, brought back his new friend, Zheng Xiaojun.

Hu magistrate see Zheng small general tall and handsome, talk quite good, and in the five unity as a police officer, a small age to become a seventh grade military officer, very appreciated, very willing to let his son and his relationship.

Hu magistrate heart also has a small plan, if that child is proper, just can be recruited as a son-in-law.

He also asked his son, General Zheng Xiao, about his family.

The second son of Hu also had that intention, and had already asked, saying that his father currently had no errand, and that his uncle was a general in the army.

County Magistrate Hu thought he had it figured out, General Zheng Xiao’s family should not be very good, but his uncle is capable. Such a family with their own family is also considered to be the right family, the latter has a future, the heart is more willing to a few points.

Every time Zheng XiaoGeneral to find HuMingZhuo play, Hu family are good wine and good food good hospitality.

The Hu family father and son do not know is that Zheng Xiaogong privately with Hu Mingya have more interactions. The two have met by chance in the ink fast, met by chance at the street corner, and met by chance while ascending the heights ……

Two months later, Hu Mingya took Evening Harvest to the embroidery workshop to buy embroidery threads, and again met Little General Zheng in front of the door.

Seeing that Little General Zheng was walking with a slight limp, Hu Mingya asked, “What happened to Little General Zheng’s leg?”

Zheng Xiao General reddened and laughed, “These days I often leave the camp and was beaten by the officer.”

Previously, Hu Mingya had wondered how he could often appear in Fengping County when he was serving in the barracks. Now it was clear that he should have sneaked out in order to meet with himself.

Hu Mingya also reddened her face, and her heart ached. Softly advising, “Then you should do your duty well, don’t leave the camp without authorization again.”

General Zheng Xiao pointed to the first floor teahouse across the street and said, “I’ve asked for a private room there, and I have a few words I want to say to Miss Hu.”

Hu Mingya nodded in agreement.

General Zheng Xiao went into the box first, and it was only after a little over half a quarter of an hour that Hu Mingya and Evening Harvest walked in.

Zheng XiaoGeneral had an injury and couldn’t sit, he stood and poured a cup of tea for HuMingYa before saying, “I adore Miss Hu’s beauty and versatility, goodness and gentleness, but I’m afraid that Lord Hu and Miss Hu won’t give me a chance, so I didn’t dare to talk about the specifics of my family in the beginning. My mother is the eldest princess of Yichang, the emperor’s own aunt. My father is Zheng extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, or Rongchang Marquis, uncle is the Commander of the Imperial Command. I will immediately go back and report to my mother and father, so that they can go to the Hu family to propose marriage. In this life and in this world, I am not married to you ……”

Hu Mingya also adored that Zheng Xiao General was both civil and military, tall and handsome, and was even more impressed by his single-minded infatuation.

Said, “I’ll wait.”

Jiang Yishi kept her mouth tightly covered so that she didn’t scream out in a shout. Tears welled up in her eyes and she held back from falling.

Uncle Wu only said that the young general was “Little General Zheng” without saying his name. But the first time he said that the young general’s surname was Zheng, Jiang Yishi guessed that the person was Zheng Ji.

Unwilling to think further, she murmured, “A daughter of a county magistrate, or one who just came from a remote mountainous region, how could the Grand Princess of Yichang agree.”

Wu Dabo’s eyes were crimson and his fists were clenched tightly.

“Yes, the girl guessed right. The Yichang Grand Princess House and the Hu family, one is in the sky and the other is underground ……”

Hu Mingya happily returned home. She didn’t dare to tell her parents, nor was she allowed to reveal a word to anyone by Evening Harvest. She waited excitedly and anxiously, but after almost a month, the Yichang Grand Princess House didn’t come to propose marriage to the Hu family.

That day, a person came to the house and called the Hu magistrate and his wife to have a secret talk.

Evening Qing, who had gone out to spy on the news, ran back and said, “Miss, I’ve inquired, that person is from the Yichang Grand Princess House.”
