Chapter 446 Parents plan far ahead for their children
"Mom, what's Dad's move called? 'Strike first, win'?!"
Wenwen was curious, and her doubts grew even stronger. "But is this husband of my sisters real? Where did my father find him? Is he reliable?"
After a series of questions were asked, the older sisters turned their gazes to Madam Ren, hoping that she would reveal more information.
How could one not be extremely anxious when it concerns the lifelong happiness of several people?
The situation is different now. They are not weak women. If their husbands' families show any signs of trouble, they will not swallow their anger. They do not care about the idea that the wives of powerful families or noble ladies need to endure humiliation and hardship to gain a foothold in the family.
After hearing Wenwen's description of the immortal city and the outside world, the girls now have no intention of getting married at all. They are determined to go out and explore, see the outside world, and make comparisons before considering their life's most important matter.
They discussed their ideas with their families and reported them to them, and their families understood and agreed to them.
However, plans can change. Tomorrow is the palace banquet, and if the emperor bestows a marriage upon us, we absolutely cannot disobey the decree.
Therefore, during his time in the northern desert, Wen Qilin secretly communicated with a group of his old subordinates.
In fact, the young men selected were all relatives and family members of the veterans from Siheshan.
So-called "knowing someone inside and out"! Put aside any prejudices and personal relationships; character is more important than anything else!
Back when the soldiers were training at Sihe Mountain, the relatives and family members of the veterans also came to the northern desert one after another. After many twists and turns, they all ended up in the military camp in the northern desert mountains in various forms.
During the training, Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan had daily contact with these young men. These young men lived up to their elders' expectations, participating in physical training during the day according to Wen Qilin's plan, and attending study classes in the military camp at night, without ever stopping for a day.
After that, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the front line. Even during the national mourning period, when everyone stayed at Wugouzi Mountain, they still carried out their training and studies in an orderly manner.
After observing for so long, Wen Qilin returned to the northern desert and shared his future plans with a group of veterans. He also revealed some of the cultivator's spells to them.
Then, things got out of control, and the veterans all flocked to join, determined to overcome all obstacles and squeeze onto this journey of cultivators.
Some of them even fantasized about whether missing arms and legs could grow back if they cultivated to a very high level. Wen Qilin did not give a clear answer to this beautiful wish, only saying that a tall building starts from the ground up, and one cannot become fat in one bite. Everything depends on opportunity.
The veterans insisted that following the general was a stroke of luck, and that any future adventures along the way would be left to fate.
Therefore, nowadays, many new people have moved into the Mobei Valley. These people have all been tested and assessed by Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan. They include veteran soldiers and their families, as well as some promising talents selected from the villagers of Wang Zuohe.
If Wen Qilin wants to develop rapidly from Xingyu City, he can't rely on just a few dozen people from the Wen family. It's too difficult to achieve long-term development. Therefore, it's crucial to cultivate and develop talent. This is the biggest challenge Wen Qilin is facing now.
Of course, while forging ahead, one must also take care of family members in the capital.
A few days ago, Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan, who were on duty at the border, received an imperial edict urging them to return to the capital, and they had a premonition.
The two returned to the valley overnight and discussed with the veteran's subordinates before finally settling on a few young men.
That's how the play "A Ying Flies a Thousand Miles to Deliver the Portrait" came about.
"What are you saying, child?"
Ren pretended to be annoyed, glared at Wenwen reproachfully, and then said, "Marriage is not a trivial matter; of course it's for real."
“These young men were carefully selected by your eldest and second uncles. You have seen their portraits. They are all very handsome, with well-defined features and neat appearances.”
With a chuckle, Wenwen picked up where Ren left off, "Mother, having a nose and eyes is a basic requirement, okay? The way you put it, it's become a virtue, hahaha."
This interruption eased the tension among the girls.
Madam Ren gently scolded, "Actually, this is just a temporary measure by your eldest uncle and second uncle. The official explanation is that Xia'er and Yi'er are already engaged, both being descendants of soldiers from the Northern Desert Army. Hong'er and Qiong'er are currently discussing marriage, but nothing has been decided yet. The family will keep them together for a few more years."
After a pause, Madam Ren continued, "Xia'er, Yi'er, your father went to great lengths to come up with this plan for his beloved daughters. These young men will also be coming back as guards this time. If you two agree, Xia'er's wedding will be before the autumn harvest next year, and Yi'er's wedding will be at the end of next year. Your weddings will be a few months apart, so that you can better cultivate and improve your cultivation when you arrive in the Northern Desert."
After all that talk, Wenwen was still a little confused. "Mother, is the marriage between my eldest sister and second sister real or fake?"
It's no wonder Wenwen didn't understand; the other girls didn't quite understand either.
With a serious expression, Madam Ren said, "In public, you pretend it's real to cover yourselves up. In private, you can pretend it's fake. It's all up to you. Your father and the young men have already explained this to you. These young men are reasonable people. However, if you develop feelings for each other over time and want to take the charade for real, we, as your parents, will not stop you. It's all up to you. As long as you don't neglect your cultivation, you can decide for yourselves whether it's real or fake. Are you satisfied now? Will you still cry?"
The last question was clearly directed at Wenxia, who burst into laughter through her tears, "Satisfied, don't cry anymore, hehehe, Dad is so good, and Mom is so good too."
Wenxia rarely acts cute like this.
The other sisters looked at each other and laughed.
......
The following day, the day before New Year's Eve, the day of the palace banquet arrived.
All the people from the General of the Nation's Mansion were invited to the palace to attend a banquet.
As dawn broke, the masters of the Wen family, young and old, men and women, all rose early to dress up and change into new clothes.
Mrs. Ren had Wenwen change into an exquisite dress, embroidered with three-colored daffodils and with a circle of lifelike butterfly embroidery around the hem.
When it walks, the butterfly seems to be about to take flight.
Then, she was adorned with a headdress adorned with daffodils and lightly powdered. A charming and lovely young girl emerged, and Wenwen's beauty had a transcendent and otherworldly quality.
At Ren's request, Wenwen stood up straight, took two steps and turned around, then took two more steps and turned around again.
"Oh, my daughter is so beautiful, I wouldn't trade her for anyone else," Mrs. Ren exclaimed.
"Mom, can I not dress so extravagantly?"
Wenwen frowned. "Can't we keep a low profile? Besides, my dad didn't arrange a handsome young man for me, did he? If I stand out like this, won't someone have designs on me?"
"Puch-"
The older sisters couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just then, someone outside the courtyard shouted.
