Chapter 20 Vinegar is content, and a loving father shows the way

Long Yan and Zhao Mo used a trick to save Han Xiaoyue, Long Jiuqi attacked the Song army's military camp, set fire to most of the Song army's grain and grass, and returned victorious. The morale of the Shu army www.biquge.info was greatly boosted by pen & fun & pavilion, and Han Tao deliberately set up a banquet to wash the dust for everyone. At the banquet, Zhao Mo frequently showed his love to Han Xiaoyue, and he had the intention of bringing him back to the Song Kingdom to be a concubine. Han Tao, who has always attached great importance to state affairs, was very dissatisfied.

"The son of the general of Shu Kingdom, how can he go to the enemy country to be a concubine?" Han Tao thought so, so he directly rejected Zhao Mo during the banquet, causing the banquet to break up unhappily. Everyone dispersed, leaving only Han Tao and his son, Zhao Mo and Long Yan.

Long Jiu left the table, but saw that his daughter Long Yan was still sitting on the spot, so he said, "Yan'er, it's not too early, let's go!"

Long Yan didn't look at him, only frowned and said two words: "Don't go!" As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Long Jiu walked a few steps to her side, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Yan'er, this is General Han's family matter, why are you staying here?"

"Don't go!" Long Yan said and stood up, shook off Long Jiu's hand and said, "I want to see what choice Han Xiaoyue will make!"

"You!" Long Jiu said angrily, "What choice does the young general make, and what does it have to do with you? Don't make a mess here, go back with your father!"

"I'm not leaving!" Long Yan shouted, stood up and said, "Dad! people say, 'Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo', doesn't my father understand my mind?"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Long Jiu to answer, Zhao Mo stood up angrily and shouted, "Long Yan, what do you mean?

Long Yan sneered, turned to look at Zhao Mo and said, "Grab the horse with you?" Obviously, you directly inserted a lever! Although Xiaoyue and I have a few faces, we have already had a heart-to-heart relationship. Now, it's better to find out about this matter! I, Long Yan, am a straightforward person and do things, and I can't learn the tricks of your princes and nobles! If you don't believe it, you can see if he has my silk veil with him!"

Everyone's eyes looked at Han Xiaoyue.

"Yes...... That's right. Han Xiaoyue said, took out Long Yan's silk veil from her arms and said, "I put this veil in a close place, and Song Jun never found it...... This veil is ...... me and Yan'er"

Before Han Xiaoyue finished speaking, Zhao Mo snatched it up, walked up to Long Yan, handed it over, and said, "Miss Yan'er, you misunderstood this palace." This palace is not a scheming person, Miss Yan'er should not be too careful. Now that Brother Xiaoyue returns this veil to you, isn't it enough to clear the two?"

Long Yan looked at the veil in her hand, chuckled and said, "Give it back to me?" As she spoke, she looked at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Han Xiaoyue, do you really want to give me back this veil?"

Han Xiaoyue didn't know what to do, and couldn't help but blush.

Zhao Mo looked back at him and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiaoyue, this thing originally belonged to Miss Yan'er, do you still have to keep occupying it and not giving it?

Long Yan grabbed the veil in Zhao Mo's hand, held it in her hand, looked at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Han Xiaoyue, do you want to give it back to me?" I want to hear you answer in person. ”

"Miss Yan'er, it's not too early. Brother Xiaoyue may be ......"

Before Zhao Mo finished speaking, Long Yan glared at her fiercely, and two words vaguely squeezed out between her teeth: "Shut up!"

Seeing everything, Han Tao couldn't suppress his anger for a long time. With a "snap," he slapped the case and said: "Ridiculous! How can the matter of marriage and love be allowed to be child's play? It's just a veil! Besides, when the national disaster is at hand, how can it be wasted because of the love of children?" As he spoke, he pointed to the door and said, "Get out! Give me all out!"

When everyone saw that Han Tao was already angry, they didn't dare to make a sound.

Long Jiuyi saluted and said: "General Han, the grass people are not strict in discipline, and there are many offenses, and I still hope for Haihan!"

Han Tao replied: "Lord Longzhai, this matter is all because of the dog, and it has nothing to do with Miss Yan'er. It's not too early, so the master of Longzhai might as well stay overnight!"

"I left Qingyunzhai for too long today, and I need to go back to deal with some routine affairs, so I won't stay overnight. Farewell!" With that, Long Jiu stepped forward and grabbed Long Yan and pulled her out like a forceful pull. It's just that Long Yan was still unwilling, her eyes kept looking at Han Xiaoyue, who was bowing her head and silent, and her eyes were red alone.

Han Tao glanced at Zhao Mo and instructed the attendants: "Come on, accompany the princess of the Great Song Kingdom to the main room to rest!"

"But......" Zhao Mo was about to speak again.

"Her Royal Highness Princess!" Han Tao shouted, "I'll discuss something tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Zhao Mo stopped talking and left silently with the attendant.

Only himself and his son Han Xiaoyue were left at the banquet. Han Tao walked down the steps and came to Han Xiaoyue. Before he could say more, the backhand was a slap in the face. With a "snap", Han Xiaoyue stumbled, and then knelt on the ground. Thinking in his heart, his father should be going to implement family law.

The family law of the Korean family is very strict. Since they are all military generals, once they use family law, it is difficult for ordinary people to parry. The last time Han Xiaoyue was served by family law was eight years ago. At that time, because of naughtiness, he lit wolf smoke without authorization, which caused the imperial court to almost mobilize the army. My father used a three-zhang rattan to open the flesh of the buttocks, and he almost became disabled. Fortunately, thanks to the persuasion of the generals, my father showed mercy. Because the injury was too serious, the emperor personally sent the imperial doctor to treat it, and it took a lot of effort to leave no sequelae. Since then, Han Xiaoyue has developed a cautious and cautious character, and never dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step. I didn't expect that today I would be punished by the family law again because of these two women.

Han Xiaoyue secretly thought to herself: "It seems that this time my father's anger is even more than before, and it is estimated that it will inevitably be a pain in the buttocks!"

However, Han Tao did not make a move. Just standing in place, gasping for air. Han Xiaoyue knelt on the ground motionless, and didn't dare to look up at him, just bowed her head and said nothing. In this way, the father and son stalemate for a quarter of the time.

Han Tao sighed, patted Han Xiaoyue's shoulder and said, "My son Xiaoyue, get up and sit down!"

Han Xiaoyue felt relieved. It seems that this plan is to avoid it. But he did not dare to slack off, stood up carefully, and returned to his original position and sat down.

Han Tao walked up to him, sat down beside him, and said, "Xiaoyue, how old are you this year?"

"The child is twenty-one years old. ”

Han Tao nodded and continued: "It seems that it is my father's fault. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, you will grow up and reach the age of marriage. ”

Han Xiaoyue blushed slightly when she was told this, and said, "Father, I ...... it."

Han Tao smiled and said, "I calmed down for a while, and then I thought, my son is an adult." I think back then, my father married your mother at your age. As he spoke, Han Tao's eyes looked at Mingyue, and his tone softened, "If it weren't for that person, your mother would definitely be able to wait until the day you got married......

Han Xiaoyue grabbed Han Tao's arm and said, "Father, it's been so long, do you remember that person?"

"That's nature. The revenge of killing your wife is not avenged, and your mother's spirit in the sky is uneasy. As he spoke, Han Tao patted Han Xiaoyue on the shoulder and said, "However, remember." You have promised to be a father, and whether or not this revenge is avenged, you should not seek revenge again. It will be the end of your generation. ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Father, I keep it in mind. ”

"Well, good boy!" Han Tao said, pointing to the door and saying, "So, these two girls, I don't know which one my son prefers?"

"This ......" Han Xiaoyue was speechless for a while, not knowing how to choose. Indeed, they are all the same age and appearance of Hibiscus, and they are also love at first sight. No matter how you choose now, you can't guarantee that you won't regret it in the future. Since my father asked, if he abruptly answered "I like both" or "I don't like both", it would inevitably seem frivolous or hypocritical.

Han Tao understands that his son is a talented person and an upright person, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attract peach. But the family style is strict, and he will never allow his son to become an amorous and frivolous person.

"Xiaoyue, I will talk to you for my father. With that, Han Tao stood up. Seeing this, Han Xiaoyue also stood up. Han Tao said as he paced.

"Xiaoyue, my father wants you to understand. The two countries of Song and Shu are at war, and it is not impossible for the princess of the enemy country to be with you. If you marry her, the only possibility is for the two countries to reconcile. Of course, you have to understand that the possibility of reconciliation between the two countries is one in ten thousand. Saying that, Han Tao glanced at Han Xiaoyue, and seeing that he didn't show embarrassment, he guessed one or two in his heart, and continued, "I, the Han family, are loyal martyrs, and you are also the pillar of the imperial court. If it is customary, your marriage should be approved by the emperor. Even if the emperor listens to your choice, it must be even more difficult to marry the daughter of a bandit and a bandit from the perspective of various countries. Of course, if you marry Long Yan, the only possibility is to return to the dynasty in victory, and correct the name of Qingyunzhai for your father. At that time, Qingyunzhai will take off the name of the bandits, and the two of you can naturally be together. ”

"Father means that as long as the war is won, I can marry Yan'er?"

From Han Xiaoyue's gaze, it seemed that he preferred the second option. Han Tao saw this, so he laughed and said, "Xiaoyue, it seems that you like Miss Long Yan more. ”

Han Xiaoyue paused, nodded and said, "Listen to what my father said." ”

Han Tao nodded and said, "Xiaoyue, don't make a noise about this beforehand. This victory is unpredictable, and the Father has only made the best plan for you. ”

"And what about the worst?"

Han Tao said with a smile: "Xiaoyue, you are my Han Tao's son, and you should keep one thing in mind - serving the country is your first priority! At the critical moment, you and I must dedicate our lives to the imperial court!"

"Listen to my father's teachings!" Han Xiaoyue said.

Han Tao nodded with satisfaction and sent Han Xiaoyue back to his room to rest. Look at the hour, it is near, but there is no sleepiness. Slowly, he walked to Qi Yuanzhen's mourning hall by himself. The people on both sides of the vigil had fallen asleep against the wall, and a dozen white candles were neatly stacked on the table, and the small flames were dancing happily.

In front of the spiritual position, it was Qi Yuanzhen's coffin that was placed. In front of the coffin, three futons are placed horizontally, which are used for the guests to kneel and worship. It's late at night, and no one comes to worship. Moreover, it has been three or four days since Qi Yuanzhen's death, and the people who paid his respects had already come to worship. Simply sat down on the futon.

Stroking Qi Yuanzhen's coffin, Han Tao not only smiled dumbly, but lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the spirit guard.

"Lord Qi. Don't come to harm?" After speaking, Han Tao lowered his voice even more and continued, "Good news for you, Long Jiu burned the grain and grass of the Song army, I'm afraid they won't be able to support it for ten days." If nothing else, they will soon be retired. As he spoke, Han Tao picked up a stack of paper money from the brazier and threw it into the furnace to continue.

"Unconsciously, my son Xiaoyue has reached the age of marriage. As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Yuanzhen's son, who was sleeping next to him, and said with a smile, "It's still a lot of peace of mind for Lang and saves me these troubles." As Han Tao spoke, he narrated Han Xiaoyue's feelings to him. Between the words, there is a sense of embarrassment from time to time.

"Lord Qi. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" said Han Tao, throwing the last stack of paper money into the brazier.

As soon as the words fell, I felt that someone was haunting behind me. A gust of wind blew, and the flame of the candle shook violently.
