Hearing that Third Sister You had the intention of marrying, Liu Xianglian had fulfilled her long-cherished wish for many years, and she was so happy that she couldn't wait to marry Third Sister You's family immediately.

However, he understands that it is unpredictable to go to Xihai to be safe, if there is a good thing because of this, how should he repay the third sister for not abandoning at this time? Therefore, he insisted on not allowing it, and only hoped that when he returned safely, he naturally wanted to marry the third sister in a beautiful manner. If he can't come back, he won't delay the third sister to talk about marriage.

I thought it was right, but unfortunately the words reached the ears of the third sister, and she scolded directly "bullshit".

Third Sister You was too lazy to go back and forth with Liu Xianglian, and directly said to Uncle Chen, who was in charge of the message: "I'm too lazy to talk to him." Uncle only went to sue him, although my third sister You is not a martyr, but she is not a cold and cold person who shrinks her head when she encounters difficulties. This will ask him to come and propose, and he just does it. If I return victorious, I will wait for him to marry me. If he dies in the West Sea, I will marry someone else. No matter what I plan, it's all my own business, and it has nothing to do with him. If he is crooked again, beware that I am annoyed by this marriage and give up directly. It doesn't matter if he's dead or alive. I'm not happy to get married. “

Chen Jue couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and when he turned around, he had to tell Liu Xianglian about Third Sister You'er's words in person. Because he said, "I said nephew and son-in-law, you have to be awake." Our third sister is not an ordinary boudoir girl. Her temperament is the most arbitrary and lonely master. If you can't rely on her at this time, I'm afraid that this marriage will not be successful. ”

Liu Xianglian was so anxious that she had to bow to Chen Qi and said, "So that your old man knows, the younger generation naturally knows that the third girl is a strong and virtuous person." But the younger generation is going to the West Sea, and the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and I really don't dare to delay the third girl——"

"Alas, my nephew and son-in-law are a bit unfounded. You said that this trip to the West Sea is unpredictable, why don't I think it? ”

Chen Qi said a word, and Liu Xianglian was stunned. Unconsciously looked at Chen Qi suspiciously.

I saw Chen Qi smile slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Although the king of Nan'an County has been operating along the West Sea for many years, he has some power. However, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Although his Nan'an County Royal Mansion has responded to every call in the Xihai area, in the final analysis, it doesn't rely on the imperial court to provide military food and salaries every year to invite people to buy people's hearts. But I didn't know that the imperial court allocated money every year, in order to let the soldiers along the West Sea fight with peace of mind, exterminate bandits, and protect the country and the people. Now the king of Nan'an County sits in the West Sea, and he holds a lot of silver every year, but he can't share the worries of the court for the saint, causing the Liukou to invade the border from time to time and ruin countless people. Of course, the imperial court and the saints could not tolerate the behavior of such corpses as the king of Nan'an. So Pyer and others rushed to the West Sea to train the generals and clean up the military discipline, I don't know if what I said is right or not? ”

Liu Xianglian blinked in a daze, and then nodded. But I don't know what Chen Qi is doing when he proposes these things that everyone knows?

Liu Xianglian was drawing an arc in her heart, but when she saw Chen Qi smiling again, she continued: "The king of Nan'an County, as a king with a different surname from the imperial court, was originally guarded by Emperor Taizong's order, which is a great righteousness. He is in charge of the army, and he is justifiable. But since the king of Nan'an came to the West Sea, in order to gather power, he has constantly done things to invite people's hearts. That's the punk. If you invite people to buy people's hearts, you must exclude dissidents. In this way, if there is another meritorious service in a war, the meritorious service and reward received by the soldiers will certainly not be fair. Otherwise, how can it reflect the benefits of friends and invite people to buy people's hearts? In the long run, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of some upright generals who do not like partisan disputes. Besides, this world is the most unpredictable. You feel that you are inviting people to buy people's hearts, and others may not think that what you give is what he wants. There are always deficiencies in people's hearts, and there must be dissatisfaction with existing deficiencies. The so-called desire is difficult to fill, and there is nothing more than this. Therefore, outsiders look at the West Sea as an iron bucket, but I feel that there is an undercurrent surging inside, and it is not far from falling apart. ”

“…… My nephew and son-in-law don't have to think too much about going to the West Sea. I tell you a clever sect, as long as you are willing to do so, you can safely fulfill the instructions of the saint in peace. And the soldiers are bloodless, not to mention the slightest danger, at least not to the point where the swords face each other. What do you think? ”

Liu Xianglian's eyes were clear when she was fooled by Uncle Chen's words, and when she heard what Chen Qi said, she got up and bowed to Chen Qi, and asked with a hopeful face: "Please also teach me." “

Chen Qi stroked his beard and was silent. waited for Liu Xianglian to beg again and again, and suddenly glanced at Liu Xianglian with a smile, and the appearance of the superior was undoubtedly ruined. He coughed lightly twice for a long time, and said straight to the point: "I want to know! If you want to know, hurry up to You's house to propose. When did you make our third sister happy? Come to me again when you ask for ideas. ”

After saying a word, without waiting for Liu Xianglian to react, she directly served the tea and said, "Come on, send off guests!" ”

Liu Xianglian was dumbfounded by Chen Qi's actions and was at a loss. Seeing that Chen Li, who was guarding outside, really came in to pick up people, he had to retreat with tears and laughter.

On the way, I met my uncle Chen Huan, who came to greet my father. Liu Xianglian had no choice but to tell Fang Cai's affairs and thoughts, but when she saw that Chen Huan was also gloating, she smiled and said, "You deserve it." Who made you disobey our aunt and grandmother? This is going to have to make you know how powerful you know. Before marrying our third sister and entering the door, I dared not listen to her. In line with what you said at the beginning, 'I am willing to marry the third sister with all my might', what 'only listen to her alone, marry her and never look at others again, and from now on the piano and the song will be smooth, and the words and intentions are all false? Do we all believe it? ”

Liu Xianglian was squeezed down by Chen Huan, and her face was sweating in a hurry, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to confess. Chen Hua looked at Liu Xianglian, who was anxious to be like an ant on the fire, and said with a smile: "This is about the same." Since my father has called you to come to the door to propose marriage. Just do as my father wants. Is it as long as you are affectionate, and you are not allowed to leave our three sisters? When I see that you are proud, I am willing to recruit you as a son-in-law, and when I see you in danger, I will stand by and watch. What did we do with the Chen family? No wonder my father and my sister are annoyed with you. You also despise people. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Xianglian to reply, she waved her sleeves and left.

Only Liu Xianglian was left standing alone, looking at Chen Huan's dashing back. Somehow, I felt hot in my heart. A few tears almost fell.

Because of the words of the Chen family's uncle and the Chen family's cousin, Liu Xianglian finally made up her mind, prepared various color gifts, tied up two geese that she had caught in Yuehai and were now raising in her backyard, and invited a matchmaker to the You family to propose marriage.

Since beating Liu Xianglian revealed her intention to marry, in order to please the Yue family and her uncle's family, she had already visited all the large and small food and wine shops in Chang'an City. The You Chen family received Liu Xianglian's filial piety, and they also enjoyed a lot of delicious food gadgets. In such a situation of "eating people with soft mouths and short hands", seeing that Liu Xianglian came to propose marriage, and the third sister You was willing, everyone was naturally not dissatisfied, and they happily responded to this family business.

After agreeing to the proposal, the You family handed over the birthday of the third sister You to the matchmaker to bring back to the Liu family, because Liu Xianglian's parents died, and there was no relative elder to handle the marriage for him. Liu Xianglian was afraid of neglecting the third sister, so she invited an aunt who married outside Chang'an City to help with the management. His aunt learned that her nephew was born, and she knew that the You family was an official, and the Chen family was even more rich and powerful, so she was very happy to make such an in-law. At present, there is a big package, Zhang Luo dots, and it is very meticulous. and the master combined the eight characters, which is naturally a match made in heaven.

After closing the eight characters and taking the gift of Wending, it will be set on the second day of the second month of February of the next year, which means that the dragon raises its head, which is a good omen.

It is a custom among the people that the woman must return the gift with the needlework she made herself. Although Third Sister You has studied female popularity since she was a child, her needle female popularity is really not very good. Barely able to sew a purse and cut a forehead.

Nowadays, if you want to return to the gift, it is not enough to just wipe the purse. The Liu family has already sent Liu Xianglian's body size, so why should Third Sister You have to cut out a set of clothes to be reasonable. It's really hard for Third Sister You. A pair of hands that plan to crackle and not make mistakes on weekdays, this time they pick up the needle and thread, no matter how careful and careful, the stitches and patterns embroidered are crooked.

The angry Third Sister You was furious, but after being annoyed, she still had to pick up the needle and thread and continue to work.

This third sister You was entangled with needlework at home, but Liu Xianglian had to set off to the West Sea.

However, at this time, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he was concerned, so he naturally acted more prudently and carefully. For fear of a mistake, it doesn't matter if you are injured and in pain, if you can't come back to marry the third sister, that's the big deal.

Before leaving, Liu Xianglian had to go to the door of the Chen family again and seriously ask Uncle Chen what the "Qiaozong" was?

Chen Qi really gave it to him. I only tell Liu Xianglian to keep in mind three things: the first is to take what you want to take, and you must give it first. When you arrive at the West Sea, don't make a posture that is incompatible. To know how to be with the light, first appease the king of Nan'an County, gain a foothold in the West Sea Division, and then seek the future.

Speaking of this, Chen Qi picked up a few stacks of letters from the table and handed them to Liu Xianglian, and said with a smile in his mouth: "These are a few letters written by Jia Zhen from the Toning Mansion, and you will hand them over to the king of Nan'an County and several other generals when you go to the Xihai Coast. You must know that the two mansions of Rongning are all meritorious old families, and the four kings and eight princes are even more of the same spirit, and they are close to each other. Although Rong Lao Guogong Ning Lao Guogong has passed away, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Now there are many people in various armies who recognize the incense of Rongning Ergong. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you can have a personal affection. ”

Liu Xianglian suddenly realized, and took the stack of letters in Chen Qi's hand very gratefully, and carefully put them away.

Chen Jue continued to mention: "This second rule is to watch the fire from the other side and sow discord. ”

"As the old saying goes, sugar is not sweet and acetic acid is made. Now that you are flattering the emperor's order, you are rushing to the West Sea to □□ water and division, who in the Manchu Dynasty does not know that you are going to cut the domain for the Holy Lord? Therefore, even if you express your willingness to be with the light and dust, whether you are the king of Nan'an County or those generals along the West Sea, they will not seriously believe you. Since it is to prevent you, the major powers in the military will naturally not let you get involved. You don't have to go through it – and it's just in vain. ”

"There's only one thing you have to do—"

"Train the West Sea Master." Without waiting for Chen Qi to finish speaking, Liu Xianglian said with confidence. He was just about to continue to show his loyalty, when he saw Chen Qi roll his eyes at him, and said to himself: "Practice a fart." You are here to fight for power with the king of Nan'an County. He's not stupid, if you can train smoothly into a naval army, the saint still needs to work hard to cut the domain? ”

Liu Xianglian was dumbfounded when she heard this, so she had to humbly ask for advice, "Please also ask my uncle to teach me." ”

Chen Jue said: "I arrived at the West Sea Yanzi." You only need to do one thing - eat and drink at public expense. By the way, flatter the person you are drinking with while drinking. How good it sounds, how to come, the best to blow his world's first ancient and modern unparalleled. At the end, I lamented that he was born at the wrong time, and his ability and merit did not match...... You can control the degree of this. Don't let people notice that you're trying to provoke. ”

After Chen Qi finished saying the second one, without waiting for Liu Xianglian to digest it, he said: "The third and most important one, remember to protect yourself." ”
