Chapter 1840: Xiao Meiniang

After the news of Qin Hao's promise to marry came back, the Zhen family was cheering, and the Xiao family was beating gongs and drums.

is different from the Zhen family, which was born as a businessman, the Xiao family is a real Hebei family, but it is precisely because of the big family and the big business that they will be targeted by Chen Youliang.

The Xiao family is naturally reluctant to take refuge in Chen Youliang, but Chen Youliang, who was born as a general of the Yellow Turban Army, will not reason with the family at all, and if he does not return to obedience, he will only be exterminated.

In desperation, Xiao Yan could only take the Xiao family to endure the humiliation of the thieves, and when Yuan Shao's army arrived, he gave a crucial backstab, disintegrating Chen Youliang's forces in one fell swoop.

If Xiao Yan just betrayed Chen Youliang, it would not have any impact on his reputation, and Chen Youliang's reputation was not good, can betraying him be called betrayal? That's called turning away from darkness to light.

But after betraying Chen and joining Yuan, Xiao Yan betrayed Yuan Shao, the king of Zhao, again at a critical moment, and took refuge in the new lord Qin Hao, which made people have to spurn his character.

Although Xiao Yan's betrayal this time was also a helpless move, Bohai was already a dead end at that time, and he could only surrender if he wanted to live, but people in the world would not think about it so much, he could only know that Xiao Yan betrayed the master twice, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a slave with four surnames.

Xiao Yan rebelled against Yuan and defected to Qin, although he saved his life and got a high position, his reputation was completely stinky, not only despised by the world, but even the generals of the Qin army looked down on him.

After all, Xiao Yan has betrayed the master twice in a row, and it was at the most critical moment, such a rebel who may be a colleague at any time, who can hand over his back to him with peace of mind?

It doesn't matter if the generals of the Qin army look down on Xiao Yan, even the generals of the Zhao army look down on Xiao Yan, although whoever makes both sides are subordinate status, but they surrendered after being captured alive, and Xiao Yan took the initiative to surrender is not the same concept.

Xiao Yan was despised by the generals of the Qin army, and was hostile to the generals of the Zhao army, and was gradually isolated in the army, and the entire Xiao family was affected.

The Xiao family is a big family for two hundred years, and they have never experienced anything in the officialdom, and this isolation is not a good sign, because the whole clan is extremely frightened.

Some people within the Xiao family even proposed that Xiao Yan should kill himself to thank the world, and the deep Xiao family was dragged down by Xiao Yan's reputation.

The person who said these words was naturally severely punished by the head of the Xiao family, after all, Xiao Yan was the highest official in the Xiao family, and if he died, all the previous investments of the Xiao family would be wasted.

At this moment, the Hebei family proposed to marry the King of Qin, and the object of the marriage with the King of Qin was, of course, the most beautiful woman in Hebei.

Therefore, how can there be less Xiao Meiniang, who is known as the first beauty in Hebei, and which one is still among the top on the Hundred Flowers List.

Regarding the dispute for the first beauty in Hebei, Hebei scholars also have different opinions, some support Xiao Meiniang, and some support Zhen Mi.

With the blessing of the aura of the Xiao family, Xiao Meiniang won the title of the first beauty in Hebei, while Zhen Mi, who was born in a merchant family, only won the title of the first beauty in Jizhou.

The Xiao family has a very bad reputation now, and it stands to reason that they are not qualified to marry King Qin at all, but Xiao Meiniang's reputation as the first beauty in Hebei is too loud, what would King Qin think if there was no her in the marriage object?

Are you Hebei family perfunctory?

Therefore, even if the Hebei family does not want to see the Xiao family, for the sake of the Xiao family, the first beauty in Hebei, Xiao Meiniang must be added to the marriage list.

After learning that there was a Xiao family among the four marriage families, everyone in the Xiao family was naturally ecstatic, after all, the Xiao family was in a bad situation now, and once they could successfully marry King Qin, not only would all the difficulties collapse and the family would go to the next level.

The Xiao family, who has a quota for marriage, is also very nervous at the same time in ecstasy, they are not worried that King Qin will look down on Xiao Meiniang, but they are afraid that Qin Wanghe will refuse to marry Xiao Meiniang because of the Xiao family's current reputation.

Therefore, when the news that King Qin chose to marry Xiao Zhen and the two families came back, the Xiao family was simply boiling.

They still thought that King Qin paid attention to morality, and it turned out that he was also a face-looking party, but it was precisely because of this that the Xiao family had a chance.

"Sister, what the warlock said is right, you are indeed the life of the 'Mother of the World'." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Meiniang, like Zhen Mi, also had a master tell her fortune, Zhen Mi calculated that it was 'unspeakably expensive', while Xiao Meiniang was 'the mother of the world, with peach blossoms', and her status in the family has risen sharply since then.

Xiao Meiniang has a gentle personality, studious and literate, naturally beautiful, charming and charming, and naturally understands what her marriage to King Qin means to her and her family.

"Brother, what my mother said in the world must not be mentioned outside in the future."

Xiao Meiniang's phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly, and said with a serious face: "That's just the words of a warlock, it's not true." ”

"Understood, understood."

Xiao Yan showed a look of understanding, of course he knew what his sister meant, after all, King Qin's back house was actually not peaceful, not only the princess of Wannian, but also the empress of the Ming Dynasty, if his sister's criticism of 'mother's honor in the world' spread, maybe it would be targeted by these two women.

"The lord chose to marry our Xiao family and the Zhen family this time, which is also to show his ambition to the world." Xiao Yan sighed lightly.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Meiniang asked puzzled.

"The lord rejected the daughters of the Tian Xin family, but he wanted to welcome you, the sister of the 'mother's world', and Zhen Mi of the 'unspeakably expensive' Zhen family, isn't his ambition obvious enough?" Xiao Yan said, his eyes full of envy.

Women like his sister Xiao Meiniang and Zhen Mi are women that men all over the world dream of, but can't get, but Qin Hao can easily have both of them at the same time, how can this not make all men envious and jealous?

"Brother, what do you mean ......"

Xiao Meiniang's mouth opened slightly, her eyes were full of shock, but she stopped in the middle of speaking, and didn't dare to continue.

Xiao Yan didn't answer, but looked at Xiao Meiniang solemnly and said, "In the future, the Xiao family will rely on you, sister." ”

Xiao Meiniang nodded slightly, only feeling that the burden on her shoulders was heavy.

The Hebei family wanted to hold a wedding immediately, but Qin Hao refused on the grounds that the war had not stopped, but in order to reassure the Hebei family, all kinds of etiquette for engagement were carried out.

After marrying Zhen Mi and Xiao Meiniang, Qin Hao could obviously feel that the hatred and vigilance of the Hebei family towards him had disappeared, and the implementation of the new policy in Hebei had become more unimpeded, and the people's hearts began to move rapidly towards the Qin army, which was the benefit of marriage.

At this point, Jizhou and Qingbei completely belonged to the Qin army, and Qin Hao also began to rectify and reduce the army at a deeper level.
