Chapter 195: Chapter 194: There Will Be No Miss Fu in the Capital City from Now On (Second Update, Please Vote)
Pei Yu originally planned to take Mrs. Pei to try the new Wanbin Building, but who knew Pei Zhan would have someone tell them early in the morning not to go out.
Not knowing what he wanted, and helpless since the work had been finished with their help, Pei Yu, having nothing else to do, started fishing by the lotus pond in the back garden with Mrs. Pei.
As soon as Pei Zhan arrived at the mansion, he went straight to the lotus pond, picked up a stone, and threw it into the pond. The fish didn’t jump, but his father did!
"What are you doing? Your mother wants sweet and sour fish for lunch!"
Pei Zhan said, "Guo Song, go buy ten fish, so madam can make sweet and sour fish!"
Pei Yu was so angry his nose twisted: "Does your mother lack fish? What she lacks is fish caught personally by me!"
Pei Zhan looked at the two of them: "I think you both have truly forgotten about your son. Mother just needs a fish, but you two are living as if dipped in honey and oil, while your son is still single. Have you forgotten about this all the way to Java?"
Mrs. Pei couldn’t sit still upon hearing this: "We haven’t forgotten! We’ve looked through all the matchmakers in the capital, and there are no suitable young ladies meeting your standards among the official families. We’ve been stuck, so we took a short break!"
Pei Yu snorted, "When matchmakers queued up at our door in the past, you ignored them. Now that no one cares about you, you suddenly want it and blame us for not being attentive. Why don’t you think about yourself, why are you acting so stubborn? If you were the least bit sensible, things wouldn’t have come to this!"
Mrs. Pei patted Pei Zhan’s hand: "Son, don’t worry, I’ll only take a couple of days break! If nothing works, I’ll send out the marriage announcement across the capital, spread it to the entire world, and let everyone know our Pei family intends to find a wife for General Pingxi! I refuse to believe that there isn’t a young lady from north to south who could be your wife!"
Pei Zhan asked, "Are you two done speaking?"
Pei Yu squinted: "What for?"
"If you’re done, I’ll speak." Pei Zhan said, "Do you still remember Mr. Ning, the former Imperial Merchant, Ning Pochi?"
"Of course, we remember, what about him?"
"I plan to marry Mr. Ning’s granddaughter as my wife. Moreover, I aim to complete the proposal in three days and have the ceremony done in a month. By the end of the month, I want to bring her home."
"What?"
The couple was stunned simultaneously!
He already chose someone?
No, a proposal in three days and married within a month?!
Is he getting married or conducting a military operation??
"Explain yourself clearly! Ning Family’s granddaughter? When did you choose her? If you’re in such a rush, why not just go snatch her back?!"
"Just today." Pei Zhan looked at them: "Anyway, the proposal must be completed within three days, or I’ll resign from my position at the camp and let you, father, take it up. It’s originally your duty.
"I’m done speaking. I have other matters, so I won’t disturb you further."
After speaking, he left just like he came, with big strides.
Pei Yu watched the hem of his clothing almost kicked to the sky, dropped his fishing rod on the spot: "This brat!"
As he just turned his head to shout "Madam," Mrs. Pei was already dragging him out in a hurry: "What are you waiting for! Quickly go send messages to the other families!..."
...
After Pei Zhan left the back garden, he immediately instructed Guo Song: "Are Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Wu all in the capital city? If they are, invite them all to discuss matters!"
Guo Song gasped: "Bringing all three strategists?"
"As long as they are within a hundred miles, call them all over!"
These three were strategists and counselors during the time Liang Chen and Pei Zhan were in command. When they gathered, it meant there was a matter as important as a city-shaking battle.
Since the war had subsided, Pei Zhan hadn’t conducted anything with such solemnity!
Guo Song held back his internal turbulence: "General, since you woke up today you’ve been uneasy, could it be last night Miss Fu and you—"
"Shut up!" Before Guo Song could finish, Pei Zhan interrupted, "Remember, from now on, there is no Miss Fu in the capital, only General Pingxi’s wife!"
"...!"
Every interaction and conversation between Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen was held without others nearby, so what happened between them was entirely unknown to Guo Song! He could only detect subtle clues with his years of skill in reading expressions.
But such a straightforward and powerful sentence from Pei Zhan had genuinely shocked him!
The rescue of Madame Du three times ago, Miss Fu was still untraceable from Pei Zhan’s lips. Now, within just two months, she had become the arranged wife of General Pingxi?
"What are you standing around for? Get moving quickly!"
Pei Zhan headed to his study without stopping his steps: "I need to see them before dark! The General’s wife must be welcomed within a month! Ensure every detail of the ceremony has no mistakes!
"By the way," he stopped halfway, "keep it low-key to the outside, especially in front of General Liang!"
Guo Song didn’t know why but he knew he must immediately assemble the strategists to plan for the wedding!
After Guo Song left, Pei Zhan returned to his room and called all ten stewards of the General’s Mansion for an address:
"The lord and madam are only responsible for the ceremonies, all the specific matters of the wedding are for you to arrange. Whether it’s the decoration of the bridal chambers or the people required in Young Madam’s daily life, after the proposal, you can immediately inquire at the Ning Family.
"Your Young Madam loves freedom. In summary, don’t make her feel uncomfortable living here."
The stewards were fortunately experienced, and immediately began to arrange plans among themselves, even voluntarily making military pledges.
After assigning them, Pei Zhan turned his attention to his sixteen-year-old brother, Pei Mu, who had been brought in.
"Your sister-in-law is kind and gentle, she treats everyone exceedingly well. You must show her respect.
"She is not in good health and must eat well, sleep well, and rest well. Once she crosses the threshold, you must behave.
"If I find out you made her angry, I won’t see you again even after twenty years in the northwest!"
Pei Mu didn’t utter a word and immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "When my sister-in-law crosses the threshold, wherever she says east, I shall never go west, wherever she says west, I shall never head east!
"If she stands, I dare not sit, if she sits, I dare not lie down, the moment she coughs, I’ll instantly disappear! Never will I make myself an eyesore in front of her!"
Pei Zhan, satisfied, waved him off.
After taking a sip of tea, he carried a riding whip and prepared to leave.
At the side gate, he saw the big yellow dog dozing in the corner and pointed with his whip: "Its hair is too shaggy, let it live in the stables, the big black dog is sleek, bring it here.
"Young Madam prefers beautiful things, so check all the cats, dogs, and birds in the house, if they’re not pretty, change them!"
