Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 412: Will you be my wife?

Looking at the nervous and shy Huo Jun in front of her, Mrs. Bai's thoughts drifted back to the past.

They watched Huo Jun grow up.

When he was a child, Huo Jun followed Master Bai like a little tail. He was full of curiosity about weapons and formations, and always blinked his big eyes and asked questions.

Later, when Huo Jun grew up and reached the age of marriage, they also planned to marry their youngest daughter to him, and they almost became a family at that time.

Over the years, they knew Huo Jun very well: he was down-to-earth, motivated, and loyal, and they had always been very satisfied with him.

Now seeing him so nervous about his lifelong event, Mrs. Bai was very pleased and secretly thought that she must help him make this marriage a grand one.

Huo Jun twisted his hands nervously, his voice filled with uneasiness: "I don't know if she will agree. I have no idea at all."

Mrs. Bai heard this and glared at him in feigned anger:

"Why are you so unconfident, kid? In terms of character and appearance, how are you not better than others?

Besides, you are a junior general now. If you make more achievements on the battlefield in the future, you may be promoted to a general.

There's even a chance to go one step further. Which girl wouldn't be eager to marry you?"

Huo Jun scratched his head, smiled innocently and asked, "Am I really that good?"

Madam Bai nodded heavily, her tone firm:

“It’s definitely good, there’s no doubt about that.

But you're being so shy today, which is really unusual. I'm getting more and more curious about who this girl is."

Master Bai also glared at him and said unhappily:

"Could you please stop dilly-dallying? After all these years, how come you're still like this?

You weren’t like this before.”

Huo Jun's face flushed instantly, and he lowered his head even lower. He mustered up the courage to say, "I want to marry Zhao Qiaoniang."

Master Bai and Madam Bai were stunned. Master Bai exclaimed, "Who do you want to marry?"

Huo Jun coughed lightly, trying to calm himself down, and repeated, "Zhao Qiaoniang, I like her."

Mrs. Bai was also stunned. She never thought that Huo Jun would have feelings for Zhao Qiaoniang?

She stared at Huo Jun, her expression becoming serious:

"You have to think it over carefully. I don't deny that Qiao Niang is a good girl, and I have always treated her as my own daughter.

But if you really want to marry her, it might be difficult to get past the Huo family.

You also know what kind of person your Huo family's old lady is, and your mother, will she agree?"

Huo Jun nodded firmly and said:

"Why can't I agree to this? I just like Qiao Niang, I know it very well.

Besides, to be honest, marrying Qiao Niang would be marrying above my station, and I'm afraid she wouldn't agree."

Zhao Qiaoniang was very busy outside the tent. She was moving back and forth between the stoves, preparing dinner, and had no idea that a discussion about her was going on in the tent.

Lin Panpan was standing aside, holding an apple in her hand and eating it with relish.

Her eyes sparkled and she laughed happily from time to time.

I saw her jumping excitedly on the spot for a while, then covering her mouth and laughing, and dancing with joy.

Madam Bai locked her eyes on Huo Jun and said earnestly:

"Huo Jun, let me tell you the truth, the injuries Qiao Niang has suffered over the years are not ordinary serious.

Don't be fooled by her usual energetic appearance, she was deeply hurt by the Lin family.

When she had just given birth and was at her weakest and in need of care, she was ruthlessly kicked out by the Lin family, without even a bite of food left for her.

It was also by good luck that we met later. To be honest, if it weren’t for the help of Wanwan’s friends, we really don’t know how we would have made it through.”

Madam Bai sighed slightly and continued:

“What I want to tell you is that it’s really not easy for her to get to where she is today.

If you are just playing around, or there is a possibility that you will dislike her in the future, then it is better to keep these words to yourself.

After all, she is now a mother of three children.

It would be very difficult for you two to really get together.

You won't be able to explain this to your family, and Qiaoniang's life will be very difficult in the future."

Huo Jun's eyes instantly turned red when he heard what Mrs. Bai said:

“But I just like her, and I don’t know why.

It's not that I just started liking her now. She saved me before, and I even gave her my ancestral jade pendant. I just think she's great in every way."

Huo Jun became more and more excited as he spoke, his face turned red with anxiety, and drops of sweat fell from his head.

For a moment, the tent fell into silence. At this time, Zhao Qiaoniang walked in with a smile, holding a pot of fish soup in her hand and said:

"Hey, dinner is ready. I made fish soup tonight. Mom and Dad, you can try it later to see if my cooking skills have improved."

She carefully placed the fish soup on the table, then turned to get the bowl and chopsticks, muttering, "Today's fish is especially fresh. I thought I'd simmer it a little longer. Wanwan, time to eat."

Madam Bai looked at her and said, "Qiao Niang, we have something we want to talk to you about. Huo Jun, please go out first."

Huo Jun strode out with a red face. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Madam Bai and asked, "Mother, is there something wrong?"

Madam Bai took her hand and said, "Qiao Niang, I just want to ask you, do you have any plans to remarry?"

Zhao Qiaoniang was stunned by the question: "Getting married? I don't have such thoughts for the time being. I just want to take good care of the children..."

Mrs. Bai looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and sighed softly:

"Qiao Niang! You can't live your whole life just for your children.

When the children grow up, Wanwan gets married, and the two sons start their own families, what will you do then? "

Zhao Qiaoniang was slightly startled, and slowly spoke:

"We have some savings at home now, and I thought I could bring a group of people with me and focus on doing what I like.

Actually, it’s no big deal if I don’t get married. I can live a fulfilling life on my own.”

Mrs. Bai looked at her deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm asking on behalf of someone else. There's someone who's interested in you."

When Zhao Qiaoniang heard this, she quickly waved her hands, a look of panic appearing on her face:

“I…I didn’t think so much.

I was thinking that when I went to Bianjing, I would open a silk and satin shop, or do some good business, then buy a farm and live a peaceful and stable life."

Before he could finish his words, there was a "swish" sound and the curtain of the tent was suddenly pulled open. Huo Jun strode in with a look of anxiety on his face.

Before Zhao Qiaoniang could react, Huo Jun said bluntly: "Qiaoniang, I'd better be frank. I just need a wife. Are you willing to be my wife?"

Zhao Qiaoniang stared at him blankly, frozen in place.
