In the eleventh year of Taiye, in the spring of March, Yunzhou.

In the Mingsha River Loop, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly soared from west to east, like a hurricane sweeping from the foothills of the Black Mountain under the blue sky.

As we approached the temporary camp by the river, the sound of the horse's hooves slowed down under the guidance.

The horses, unbridled and unsaddled, were at first driven by the shepherds, but as soon as they started running, they all instinctively scrambled to their destination.

The first horse, covered in black, tossed snow hooves and long manes flying, and it was actually the hind hooves that kicked the ground and stood up, and neighed at the backward companions, as if full of uncontrollable pride.

After a while, several horses with smooth fur and graceful shapes were dragged by the stables to the side of the black horse, and let go of the reins, allowing them to chase and play freely in the light blue grass.

The sturdy horses collided with each other, their heads and necks sniffed each other, and after a succession of rude kicks kicked away three horses that had come forward to sniff their buttocks and kiss their necks, the proud black horse seemed to take an interest in a chestnut mare who had been standing meekly beside him.

The black horse took a few steps forward, paused for a moment, lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite the chestnut horse's knee, and then raised the horse's head to lean on the chestnut neck and nibble lightly.

The shepherd, who had seen from afar that his goal had been achieved, breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left.

On the shore of the Mingsha River, where the water is turbulent in spring, stepping on the new grass that grows sprouts in the square, the black steed suddenly presses on the mate he has chosen......

"Shadow Horse is six years old. Originally, I thought that if it still wouldn't find a companion this year, it would be gelding! On the high upstairs of the Chinese military village in the distance, the dignified middle-aged man looked at the couple who were doing errands by the river, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The years seem to be very preferential to Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, even if he is close to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. The figure and posture are significantly younger than ten years younger, and even more free and easy mature charm than the young sons.

Eight or nine young men or teenagers stood behind him in two rows, staring with their hands and their mouths and noses. They are different in size and appearance, but without exception, they are all surnamed Xiao, and they all have to call Jing Guogong their father.

The smart one guessed in his heart that he was embarrassed to say something other than in his father's words. And the clumsy obedience to the ears did not reflect at all.

No one dared to talk, Xiao Rui, who felt bored, coughed lightly, and directly clicked on his stupidest son and asked, "Little Liu!" Shadow is a rare good horse in the past two years, do you know that your father weishenme is going to gelding it? ”

"The temperament of the gelding horse will be more stable, and it is more appropriate to face the enemy in battle." , Xiao Hong responded according to the common sense answer, and his voice was as clear as the thawing spring water.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes angrily, the appearance of the calm and stable strict father just now was completely gone, as if he had returned to the absurd era of flirting with cats and dogs.

"Fart! It honestly made more foals that could run as fast as it did. What did Lao Tzu do with it? It took more than ten years of hard work, hundreds of lives, and 10,000 taels of gold to cross the Chenhan border to attract the good seeds from Qilan. If you are still a child, you will be wasted, you should be an idiot with a brain in water like you! ”

Jing Guogong, who scolded smoothly, straightened his sleeves to reveal his muscular black arms, like an idle man in the market who is good at fighting.

Xiao Hong, the sixth son who took the opportunity to beat, stood in front of him.

After being rubbed in Yunzhou again for a year, Xiao Hong was a little more embarrassed, and his sunburned bronze face could no longer see the little gentleness that he still had when he came back from Jiangnan. But the foundation of the beautiful boy is there, and he is still the most eye-catching handsome among a bunch of brothers.

Vaguely old figures!

Xiao Rui stared at his son. The original extreme anger suddenly vanished, turning into a sigh in my heart.

If it's wrong, then it should be his father who let him go to Jiangnan when he was a teenager and did something wrong, just like in recent years, he deliberately cultivated his temperament and wanted to put on a serious appearance to attract talents, and he always inadvertently reproduced the absurdity of his youth. Even if I thought I was doing drama at the beginning, but after decades. The real and the fake have also become a habit.

From the doting heart, Xiao Rui's voice softened unconsciously, and said: "Little Liu, everything has been chaotic since the end of last year, and now I have received the news that the emperor wants to tour the south. ”

"Daddy! The kid got it! ”。 Xiao Hong responded in a low voice.

"You can bear it!" , Xiao Rui snorted coldly and shook his head.

"Hmmm! I see! Dad is angry with the sixth brother and drove the people in the house you sent again! Xiao Yuan, the third son of the Xiao family, wore a single shirt and showed strong chest muscles on a cold day in the spring, and his shiny black skin almost caught up with the energetic shadow by the river.

Except for Mrs. Xu and Xiao Hong's brothers and sisters-in-law, Xiao Rui did not inform the rest of the sons about Xiao Hong's poisoning.

Last year, after hearing the details of his eldest son's trip to the south, Xiao Rui asked Qi Shibao, an old divine doctor who had been enshrined in the Xiao family, to show Xiao Hong.

first laughed and slept alone, and then arranged a woman for Xiao Hong to serve, and waited for the unknown lewd Gu in his body to mature, and then thought of using blood to lure it out. Qi Shibao also believes that this is the most hode treatment way to maintain Xiao Hong's health.

Which father is happy to see his son, who has been haunted by pain, and still holds on silently?

But like the stubborn foal who does not go away and fights backwards, Xiao Hong's resistance is all the best. After three times and twice, there were two more supporters behind him, Xiao Rui's wife Xu and eldest daughter Xiao Wan.

The disobedient son is troublesome, and the woman who is in a hurry to make trouble is even more annoying, and she can't beat or scold.

Xiao Rui originally planned to wait for the spring to bloom, pinch his nose like swallowing a fly to marry the poisonous woman of the Zhou family who was still in Huocheng to Xiao Liu, but the current chaotic situation obviously wants to delay Xiao Hong's marriage again.

In fact, from the bottom of Xiao Rui's heart, he also wanted to regret Xiao Zhou's marriage like his eldest son Xiao Ze, otherwise it would not be difficult for a team of light horses to pick up Zhou Manyun in the south.

It is precisely because of love that I don't want my son to be taken care of by women, even in the name of love.

"Xiao Hong! Look at your brothers, each of them is more worthy of being a boy of the Xiao family than you! After Xiao Yuan said it, Xiao Rui simply raised his arm and pointed to a bunch of tigers and wolves in his house.

"Heaven and earth are the best and the inferior, and a shadow horse has a good bloodline and excellent ability. It has to pass on its bloodline and reproduce more offspring, so that the people who have its blood can enjoy this fertile pasture. ”

Most of the things in the world are stronger and more powerful than the females, and they are more coquettish and flamboyant. In the warm spring season, the male bird unfolds its gorgeous tail feathers and chirps. The male beasts compete with each other to overwhelm the males, all in order to compete for the right to mate so that their bloodlines can reproduce.

Born as a man, if not.

Regardless of power and financial resources, Xiao Rui felt that this life was enough to proudly go underground to face the ancestors of the Xiao family, and he undertook and fulfilled the most basic responsibility of a man to the family.

And Xiao Hong, who obviously went crazy and didn't care about his body, disappointed him too much.

But Ren Xiao Rui taught him a dry lesson for a long time, and Xiao Hong, who was training with his head down, was still as calm as a flat lake, and he couldn't afford any ripples.

"Xiao Ze!" , the father who can't help the six sons. Angrily turned his head and yelled at the boss who should worry about his younger brothers, and said, "You go and tell the He family that you have changed Xiaoba to marry Miss He San!" ”

"Shall I marry?" , Xiao Long, who was originally smiling and watching the sixth brother being scolded, pointed his finger at the tip of his nose incredulously.

"That's right! You marry! Last year, the He sisters were in Yunzhou, and your kid didn't always wag his tail in front of other girls! ”

"Daddy! You can't push it to me just because the sixth brother refuses to marry her! Who doesn't know that He Minglan has a crush on Xiao Liu! ”。 Xiao Long and the third brother Xiao Yuan are not the same mother, but Lu Zhi's temperament seems to crawl out of the same mother's womb.

"I'm married. You can't marry someone else. Xiao Hong finally opened his mouth and mended the knife softly. For him, He Minglan, who was once a passer-by but threatened to marry Xiao Liu among his relatives, was simply a scourge that needed to be pushed farther away.

"I'm a year younger than her, let Seventh Brother marry her......", Xiao Longbian continued to struggle, even though he knew that it was not very likely that his father had made up his mind to change.

He is not the sixth brother born by his mother-in-law. The favor is limited, but the self-esteem of the Xiao family boy is the same. I used to be tempted by the beautiful He Minglan, but I still felt panicked when I married a woman who publicly said that she wanted to marry her brother.

Watching the brothers push and block He Minglan's belonging, Xiao Ze, who was standing beside his father, narrowed his pupils. I sighed softly.

Compared with several other older married brothers, the sixth brother Xiao Hong set a very bad example for the younger brothers below. Xiao Ze and the others' wives are all set by the orders of their parents, but Xiao Liu's stubborn resistance reminds this group of younger teenagers, in fact, even if they want to find a woman to warm the bed and have a baby, they can choose one they like.

However, the Xiao family still has to marry the daughter of the He family, no matter who it is.

For the sake of the Xiaohe Alliance, but also for the sake of morality.

In August last year, the funeral of He Minglan's eldest brother, He Ming, was reported to Yunzhou, and he died when he was killed by bandits on his way back from Qingyuan to Luzhou.

The He family, who came to report the news, did not complain about the Xiao family. But He Ming is weishenme stayed in Qingyuan, and Xiao He and the two families knew it.

"Help me take care of my two sisters!" , the parting advice of the old friend is still in the ear.

will go to Jiangnan for Xiao Hong, and He Shuangshu followed them all the way back, He Minglan probably also caught a glimpse of Xiaoliu all the way through thick and thin.

The marriage contract on the Zhou family's side has not been concluded, and Zhou Manyun himself does not seem to be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family sincerely, if Xiao Hong abandons Zhou to marry him, it would be the most haode result, but he refused.

"Let He Minglan marry the fifth brother!" , the crippled Xiao Xi was not at the scene and was pulled out to block the arrows as usual.

"Why don't you let the eldest brother marry her! The eldest brother has the rank of a son, even if he marries a concubine, he can give her a fate......"

The more the little ones fight, the more outrageous and ridiculous they become, and Xiao Rui, who is a father, has no intention of being restrained at all.

Xiao Hong, who only pushed back and closed his mouth after telling the truth, leaned lightly on the pillar, and his eyes turned coldly to the bank of the Mingsha River, which was already empty.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered his girl again.

If Man Yun heard this, he should have mocked Xiao Jialang for being a son and horse in estrus with a sarcastic face, and he would also ridicule his father and brother for never treating other daughters as equals and respecting each other.

"Anyway, it's all the daughter of the He family, let Xiaoba marry He Mingqi!"

Just when Xiao Hong was wandering out of the world, several pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Zhan, the fourth elder who suddenly interjected but had a new idea.

Xiao Zhan, who was squinting at Rong Chang'er, looked at his eldest brother with a smile, Xiao Ze pondered for a while, actually nodded in agreement, and then called "Father!" ", pulled the fourth brother to Xiao Rui's side.

If you can solve the problem, you can fulfill the morality.

What is the relationship between He Minglan, the eldest daughter's unmarried daughter, and the Xiao family...... (To be continued......)
