After Zong Yu rode past Wen Xiong, he left quickly. Wen Xiong recovered from his shock and angrily cursed loudly.

Chang He hurriedly tightened his horse reins and, carrying the gift, rode after them. All the other noble lords had arrived at Zhao Mansion before him. As for Wen Xiong, no one even bothered to notice him.

When the Zhao family saw Zong Yu personally coming to visit their son, they finally felt relieved.

"It is an honor for my daughter to be so valued by the Lord Marquis."

"Please come in, Lord."

Zhao Yun's father personally led Zong Yu to Zhao Yun's courtyard.

The Zhao family was a small noble family in the capital city, with a decent family background. Therefore, Zhao Yun's living environment was also considered exquisite and luxurious.

Zongyu had always known Zhao Yun was a son of a noble family, but he hadn't expected his family to be this wealthy. He found it quite surprising that a pampered young master like him would actually go to the battlefield to fight.

"Yun'er, the Marquis has come to see you in person."

As soon as Zhao Yun's father entered the room, Zhao Yun, who was lying on the bed leisurely eating fruit and reading, immediately sat up from his bed, hurriedly putting away the fruit.

We can't let the general see him being so frivolous at home.

When Zongyu came in, he saw him hiding something. There were quite a few fruit peels scattered on the floor beside the bed.

"Lord, my Lord, how did you come here."

With an unperturbed gaze, Zongyu retracted his eyes and walked to the bedside.

Come and see me.

Zhao Yun's father immediately had someone bring a chair for Zong Yu to sit down on.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhao Yun wanted to get up from the bed, but Zong Yu stopped him.

"Your wounds haven't healed, so just lie there."

Zhao Yun smiled sheepishly, "Forgive my rudeness."

"Tomorrow I will set off for the military camp to meet General Wang. You focus on your recovery and do not worry about matters in the camp."

Zhao Yun scratched his head, "Zhuge Ge, I'm not trying to rush you."

"Deputy Commander Wang, he truly wishes to see you."

It's not just Wang's deputy general. Ever since Brother Yu became famous for his victory in the Xizhou campaign, all the brothers in the City Defense Camp want to witness the demeanor of the "Xizhou God of War" firsthand. Everyone admires Brother Yu deeply.

"Hmm."

Zong Yu rarely spoke, during the half hour he came to visit, it was Zhao Yun who kept talking incessantly. He was afraid that Zong Yu was unfamiliar with military affairs, so he gave various instructions.

Zhao Yun's father, listening from the side, broke out in a cold sweat.

I only knew that my son was serving as a deputy general under Wuhou, but I didn't know he would be so disrespectful when discussing official matters with the Marquis. How could he keep nagging the Marquis like an old woman

It's simply outrageous.

Zhao Yun's father watched Zong Yu's face intently, afraid that if anything seemed amiss, he would step forward to stop his son.

For fear that he would cause a great calamity and implicate his entire family.

Result, Wu Dinghou from beginning to end only nodded his head. Although there was no smile on his face and he didn't speak, he also did not show anger.

He doesn't seem angry.

"Got it."

When Zong Yu saw that it was almost time, he stood up and interrupted Zhao Yun's chatter.

“You said so, I remember.”

"If you're still worried, hurry up and recover your injuries and report to the city defense camp."

"Yu Ge, why don't you stay for a meal before you leave"

Although the dishes cooked by our family chef aren't as delicious as those from the mountain lodge, they are still edible and much better than what we had in the army.

When Zhao Yun's father heard his son introduce the family cook in this way, his face turned dark with embarrassment.

He stepped forward to hastily remedy the situation.

"My Lord, it's almost lunchtime. If you don't mind, please stay for a meal."

"The child has been cared for by the Marquis in the army, and we are truly grateful as a couple. We respectfully request that the Marquis show us some kindness and give us an opportunity to express our gratitude."

Zhao Yun nodded frantically beside him.

"That's right, Brother Yu, stay for a meal."

Zongyu's face was expressionless as usual, he never spoke unless it was necessary, so people couldn't guess what he was thinking.

The only thing a long river can do is stand out and act as a megaphone.

"General Xiao Zhao, my master and mistress have made arrangements to have lunch together. Perhaps we should reschedule for another day"

Zhao Yun wore an expression of understanding, no wonder he saw a hint of urgency in the general's eyebrows.

Others couldn't see it, but after four years by the general's side, he still understood him.

"Father, since the Marquis and his wife have already made arrangements, let's invite the Marquis to our home for a meal another day."

Zhao Yun thoughtfully helped him out of the predicament. Zong Yu glanced at him, his eyes filled with admiration, causing Zhao Yun to chuckle sheepishly.

"Well, that's it then."

"Well, then I won't keep Your Lordship any longer today. Preparing a meal for Your Lordship should be done with more care, but today was too rushed and I fear I have been negligent."

"Next time, this old man will personally deliver the invitation and prepare the house in anticipation of your esteemed arrival."

Zong Yu gently supported Zhao Yun's father and said, "You're welcome. Please stay awhile."

The Zhao couple chased after Zongyu's figure and finally sent him to the door. They watched and praised him as they did so.

"Before, I only saw descriptions of this general from my son's letters. He wrote about how valiant and imposing the general was. Out of five pages of letters, three were dedicated to describing him. He used almost every flattering word he had ever learned."

"At that time, I thought Yun'er was exaggerating. Today, seeing it with my own eyes, it is indeed so."

Zhao's mother stretched her head out. Zong Yu's back, riding a horse, was almost disappearing. She was still watching.

He muttered to himself, "I hear that the Marquis' household only has one wife, and the inner court is quite empty."

"My niece is just the right age, and she's beautiful like a flower. If she could marry into the Hou family as a concubine, she would be living a life of luxury."

When Zhao's father heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned, rejecting his wife's suggestion.

"You'd better abandon that idea."

Yun'er said that the Emperor had wanted to marry off the Northern Border Princess to Marquis Wu some time ago. Marquis Wu didn't even look at the princess, so how could he possibly look at your cousin

Zhao's father finished speaking, then flicked his sleeves and turned back. Zhao's mother, unwilling to be left behind, quickly followed him.

"What do you mean What's wrong with my niece"

Perhaps it's because the princess isn't attractive. My cousin is as beautiful as a flower. Perhaps the Marquis fell in love at first sight.

Zhuge Yun never expected that the first thing he did after recovering from his injuries was to be used by his mother.

Standing before him were his aunt and cousin, whom he hadn't seen in many years. On his right was the gift from his parents to thank the Marquis and his wife for sending medicine to treat his illness.

He shoved his blushing cousin and the gift into his hands all at once.

"Just listen to your mother, bring your cousin over there. Even if the Marquis doesn't like you, just bring her back afterwards, it won't make much difference either way. What are you refusing"

His aunt also spoke from beside him.

"Yun'er, think carefully about it. If your cousin becomes the concubine of the Marquis, then you and the Marquis would become relatives. This would be very beneficial to your future official career."

"That's exactly right," Zhao's mother nodded repeatedly.

"Besides, you don't always praise Lord Hou as a rare and excellent man in the world. If you don't say he is so good, my lady wouldn't be willing to introduce your cousin to him."

"This is also for the happiness of your cousin."

Zhuge Yun's face was full of embarrassment, he still felt it wasn't right.

"No, Mother. The Marquis, he definitely wouldn't accept my cousin."

Zhaojia's aunt hurriedly asked, "What do you mean Do you think your cousin is not pretty enough, not as beautiful as that Houfu"

Zhao Yun let out a sigh.

"It's not a matter of appearance."

"It's the Marquis. He only has his sister-in-law in his heart, he couldn't possibly look at other women."

Zhao's mother and Zhao's aunt were both taken aback, then burst into laughter together.

"What on earth did I think was so special about it."

“Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. It doesn't matter if the Marquis only has his wife in his heart. As long as our Alang can have a place in the Marquis's mansion, and she can give birth to a son and a daughter, then her prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of her days will be secure.”

A woman just wants a stable life, doesn't she As long as the Marquis is generous, people will be happy. wouldn't have asked him to come over and sit at her place.Isn't this just letting him keep coming to find them to talkIt must be conditional.Thinking about this, Village Head Wang hurriedly spoke up,...
