The emperor's decree arrived, and Xu Baichuan was appointed as the deputy city lord of Flame City.

"Haha, Brother Xu, congratulations on your promotion to deputy city lord!" Zhao Zhenduo said with a smile on his face.

"You should say this, congratulations on becoming my subordinate. Xu Baichuan looked disdainful.

To be honest, he was not very interested in this deputy city lord, but Zhao Zhenduo recommended him to be the deputy city lord, and he had to do it. The Xu family and the Zhao family are no longer separated from each other, and he must help Zhao Zhenduo share some responsibilities.

In terms of managing the city, he is more experienced than Zhao Zhenduo, after all, he has always been doing big business, and his social experience is much richer than Zhao Zhenduo.

"You don't know how to promote, why are you unhappy when you are recommended to be the city lord?" Zhao Zhenduo said jokingly.

"Alas, can I be happy? In the future, I will be arrested by you, can I not know you?"

"Haha, smart. I'm willing to be a nominal city lord, and the specific affairs will be left to you. Zhao Zhenduo finally showed the face of a profiteer.

"I knew you didn't have any good intentions, forget it, I think I'm unlucky. Xu Xu Baichuan said helplessly.

"Shall we celebrate with a banquet in the evening?"

"If you want to drink, just say it, what is there to celebrate? Then call Brother Shangguozhong, call Li Sanchang over too, and I will arrange the wine and food immediately." ”

In the evening, Xu Baichuan hosted a banquet for Zhao Zhenduo and a few people in his mansion. Because they are all old friends, and they are all their own people, everyone drinks together without restraint.

Although Li Sanchang is a general, his status is higher than that of Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan, but in front of the two of them, Li Sanchang puts his posture very low. He is not a fool, his own general was given by the Zhao family. At first, he thought it was Lin Guozhong's protection, but later he gradually understood that it should be the support of the Zhao family.

Although he didn't know how the Zhao family did it, the truth of the matter must be the Zhao family's help.

Although Lin Guozhong is the Hou Ye, he has never been in front of Zhao Zhenduo. Others don't understand him, but they understand that the Lin family's escape this time is all the credit of the Zhao family. He also didn't understand how the Zhao family did it, but it was a fact.

"Brother Zhenduo, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Brother Xu, you say. Do we still need to use the word "consultation"? If you have something to say, I will do my best to do what I can do. ”

"Hehe, in fact, you can't be the master of this matter, I want to say it for your reference and give a suggestion. Xu Baichuan smiled wryly.

"How are you mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you have something to say. ”

"That's right, Ruyi mentioned it in front of me several times, he said that he likes Yu'er very much, he wants to marry Yu'er as his wife, I want to hear your opinion. Xu Baichuan looked at Zhao Zhenduo with expectant eyes.

"Haha, it's really useless for you to ask me for my opinion on this matter. Young people's marriages can only be chosen by themselves, and I can't give advice. But in principle, I agree with this family business, after all, Ruyi, this child we watched grow up. He has a good heart, and we recognize him as a person. But the final decision is up to Yu'er, and everything depends on Yu'er's attitude. ”

Zhao Zhenduo is telling the truth, he can't be the family, and he can't make his own decisions, and even Zhao Fei can't make the decisions.

"I think so too, but someone has to ask what kind of attitude my daughter has. Zhao Zhenduo's attitude made Xu Baichuan very happy, after all, the Zhao family did not reject this marriage, so Xu Ruyi had a great chance.

"Otherwise, I will go to Qinghuang Town in person tomorrow, and I will go to Xuejiao and ask her to ask Yu'er's attitude. If Yu'er doesn't have an opinion on me coming forward to protect the media, what if this happens?" Lin Guozhong interjected on the side.

"Thank you so much Brother Lin, then it's hard for Brother Lin to go on a trip. Xu Baichuan was immediately overjoyed and toasted Xu Baichuan again and again.

After getting up the next morning, Lin Guozhong took a few of his own soldiers and hurried to Qinghuang Town.

Lin Guozhong came to Qinghuang Town and immediately went to the Zhao family's mansion.

"Uncle, why did you come here at this time, is there anything urgent?" Seeing Lin Guozhong coming in a hurry, Lin Xuejiao was very different.

Lin Guozhong hurriedly explained his intentions, and Lin Xuejiao smiled and said nothing after listening to it.

"Girl, what is your opinion?" Lin Guozhong hurriedly asked.

"Uncle, you're quite concerned about this. What advice can I have, is my opinion useful? Not only is my opinion useless, but even Zhao Fei's opinion is useless, it depends on Yu'er's opinion. I'll call Yu'er back in the evening, and I'll ask her for her opinion. ”

In the evening, Lin Xuejiao called Yu'er back to the house for dinner, and no one else participated in the meal, that is, Zhao Fei and Lin Guozhong.

"Yu'er, Uncle Xu wants to propose to the Zhao family and let you marry Xu Ruyi, what is your attitude?"

After all, the Xu family is an ally of the Zhao family, and Xu Ruyi is also Zhao Fei's sworn friend. Whether this matter is successful or not, it requires a clear attitude.

"Even if he is as fat as a pig, he still wants to eat swan meat. ”

As soon as Yu'er's words fell, Lin Xuejiao chuckled in her heart. She was most afraid of Zhao Yuer's refusal, after all, the relationship between the two families was too close, and she didn't know how to face it once she refused.

"How do you speak? Xu Ruyi is not a toad, and you are not a swan. Zhao Fei glanced at his sister.

In his heart, he also hopes that Yu'er can marry Xu Ruyi, after all, this is the person he knows best, and his sister can rest assured that she can marry him.

"My father and mother are not at home, my eldest sister-in-law is better than my mother, and my sister-in-law is still in charge of my marriage. Zhao Yuer stuck out her tongue and said.

"Don't, don't, your marriage is up to you. Don't play with me, I'm not going to take on this responsibility. Lin Xuejiao already understood Zhao Yuer's attitude, and she deliberately said so.

"Brother, sister-in-law doesn't want to call the shots, so it's up to you. Zhao Yuer looked at Zhao Fei and said.

"Don't fool me, I can't be your master, you can make your own decisions. Zhao Fei also hurriedly waved his hand.

"Cut, you two are concerned about your own affairs, and you don't even give an opinion to your sister here. Zhao Yuer pouted and said.

"Don't be foolish, I don't want to leave you with any tricks, you can do it yourself. Zhao Fei was still smiling, but he didn't say anything.

"Hahahaha. I understand my niece's thoughts, as long as your brother and sister-in-law don't object, you will agree to this marriage, right?" Lin Guozhong hurriedly helped Zhao Yu'er out of the siege.

"Uncle is right, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have to decide my marriage. If they don't object, I agree. Zhao Yuer still kicked the ball to Zhao Fei and Lin Xuejiao.

"Zhao Fei, Xue Jiao, what is the attitude of the two of you?" Lin Guozhong asked as he stared at them.

"This girl has so many eyes on her now, we still have to play for her. I discussed this matter with Zhao Fei, and in principle we agreed, without any opinions. Lin Xuejiao said helplessly.

"That's right, everything is based on my sister-in-law's opinion. Zhao Yuer said slyly.

"I've seen it through, you have to pull me on my back for everything. Zhao Fei could only smile bitterly.

"Okay, since you all have no opinions, I'll go back and tell Xu Baichuan that he will prepare a dowry to come to Qinghuang Town to propose marriage. "Lin Guozhong is overjoyed, this is a good thing to kiss and kiss.

"Uncle, you still have to go and see your grandfather about this matter, and your grandfather is still in charge of marriage. Zhao Fei's meaning is very clear, although they have no opinion, then they have to let grandpa express his position and respect grandpa.

"Okay, I'll go to the academy to see his old man after dinner. Lin Guozhong understood what Zhao Fei meant, this is a sensible and filial good boy.

After dinner, Lin Guozhong came to the academy and met Zhao Wuwei.

After he explained his intentions, he also said the opinions of Yu'er and Zhao Fei.

"Boys, this is to give me face, can I object? Zhao Fei is busy, so it's up to you and San'er to go to Zhang Luo. Zhao Wuwei also agrees with this marriage, Yu'er will definitely be very happy when she marries Xu Ruyi.

Lin Guozhong then met Xu Ruyi again, and when he told Xu Ruyi about the Zhao family's attitude, Xu Ruyi almost went crazy.

"Uncle Lin, thank you for your hard work, I will kowtow to you to thank you. After Xu Ruyi finished speaking, he was about to kowtow to Lin Guozhong.

"Don't give me any money, just give me two more glasses of wine on your wedding day. Lin Guozhong hurriedly stopped.

The attitude of the Zhao family was very clear, and Lin Guozhong stayed for a day before rushing back to Flame City. Xu Ruyi is no longer young, he wants to rush back and let Xu Baichuan prepare a dowry as soon as possible, and then set a date to get married to them.

If none of them were cultivators, they would all be parents of several children at their age.

When Lin Guozhong brought the news to Xu Baichuan, Xu Baichuan was overjoyed. This is his son's long-cherished wish, and he also likes Zhao Yuer very much. This marriage can be regarded as a high climb of the Xu family, after all, Zhao Yuer is as beautiful as a flower, it is not ordinary beauty.

"Brother Zhenduo, since the children have no opinions, let's set the family affairs first, and then choose a good day for them to get married, what do you think?" Xu Baichuan immediately rushed over to discuss.

"What is the relationship between our two families, do we still need to be so cumbersome? We don't lack anything now, just forget the dowry, just hold a wedding for them on the same day. ”

"Then what kind of thing, I have to show it, this is respect for the Zhao family. Xu Baichuan disagreed with such a rashness.

"The marriage was scheduled to be three months later, and the engagement was held three days before the wedding. They are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, don't talk about those cumbersome etiquette, everything is simple, I can be the master of the house. As soon as Zhao Zhenduo waved his hand, he settled the matter.

He is now the patriarch of the Zhao family, and he has the right to make decisions about these things. Besides, Zhao Fei is not the kind of person who cares about small sections, not to mention that he is a friend of life and death with the Xu family.

Seeing Zhao Zhenduo's resolute attitude, Xu Baichuan didn't insist anymore, everything was done according to Zhao Zhenduo's intentions.

Zhao Zhenduo only decided to hold the wedding in three months, and he needed time to prepare. It's hard to say whether the old man Qingfeng can come back after three months, and he has to notify some relatives and friends to come over to attend the wedding.

Zhao Yuer got married, this is the first wedding in the three generations of the Zhao family, and it must be grand.

There is also one most important reason, the second brother and second sister-in-law are missing, since he is the patriarch, he must marry Zhao Yuer in style. Only in this way can we be worthy of the second brother and second sister-in-law.

After Xu Baichuan returned to the mansion, he also began to arrange it, there was a tacit understanding between him and Zhao Zhenduo, although Zhao Zhenduo didn't say anything, but he must use the highest etiquette to marry Zhao Yuer into the Xu Mansion.
