Chapter 521: Good News
Xiao Worm accompanied a young girl for a walk by the Sushui River in some confinement.
This woman, of course, is his betrothed fiancΓ©e, a young lady from the Hou family. If you really want to talk about the portal, even if you are a different branch, it is obviously a few grades higher than the little insect family. Hou Zhen is now the assassin of Cangzhou, the official of the party of the Eight Classics, and Hou Fangyu is now the general of Zuo Xiaowei, with a bright future. Unlike many wealthy families that have now declined, the Hou family hugged their thighs in time because of Li Ze's rise, and now the family is prosperous, and it is better than in the past.
Of course, this family business was not climbed up by the little worm's family, but the Hou family himself came to propose marriage.
Xiao Worm is now just a captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie, even in front of the fellow pillars, he also thinks that he is not a big official. But a family like the Hou family naturally doesn't think so.
Xiao Worm is indeed just a Xuanjie captain, but in the army, he is a powerful general in charge of a team of 3,000 people, and more importantly, he leads 3,000 cavalry, which is even more different.
And the little worm is only in his twenties, where is the bright future!
For long-term investment, Hou's lintel is the best at it. Anyway, the Hou family has a big business, and there are many other branches, and the big net is scattering fish, and you can always catch a few good ones.
Such a young lady is naturally cultivated purposefully since childhood, in today's words, it is to go up to the hall, down to the kitchen, to interact with people, to be generous, not to see a little bit of small family spirit, and there is no kind of domineering of a big family. Gentle words can hold people's hearts everywhere.
It was the first time that Xiao Worm had met Miss Hou, but he was already deeply intrigued. It's just that the more the two of them talk, the more ashamed the little worm becomes, daring to love that he really doesn't understand anything except fighting. If you marry such a woman and enter the door, you will not be able to say anything about it in the future, and you will have to go up several grades.
"Do you know my family conditions? That's it, I'm afraid I've wronged you! "The insect stage Ai Ai is authentic.
Miss Hou covered her mouth and chuckled: "Where did this come from?" If you really want to talk about it, my family is only poorer than yours! β
"How is this possible?" The worm shook his head repeatedly.
"After the Hou family came to Wuyi, they split up, and we are just other branches, not descendants." Miss Hou said in a low voice: "Now my family is in Wuyi, and there are only about 100 acres of land!" Fortunately, when my father was in Hou's before, he knew how to do some business, so he could barely get by, but if he wanted to maintain his previous dignity, he was also a strong man! There are still a lot of families, and life is actually quite difficult now. β
"I see!" The little worm suddenly realized: "Old Taishan can do business, that's the best." My family has accumulated a lot of money, but my father and mother have money, but they will only hide in the cellar, and they don't know how to operate at all. β
"That's not going to work." Miss Hou shook her head again and again: "I also have several brothers in my family." β
"Isn't this all family?" Xiao Worm spread his hands: "My family is my only seedling, and I am looking forward to a few more brothers, fighting tiger brothers, and going into battle as father and son soldiers." β
Miss Hou looked at the little worm's puzzled look, but laughed happily: "Brother, you have to settle the account!" Otherwise, relatives may not be able to do it in the future. You can rest assured, I will also do business, and I will not let the family's money become moldy. β
"You will too, that's good, that's good." Xiao Worm laughed: "Now the family's income is good, my year's military salary and other miscellaneous things add up, the amount is not small, and I don't have a place to use the money, I am relieved that you will be in charge of it in the future." β
Seeing the happy appearance of the little worm, Miss Hou couldn't help but sigh, but her heart became more and more satisfied, and she took the initiative to reach out and hold the little worm's arm.
The little worm shuddered, but immediately straightened up again, but the person seemed much stiffer.
"Since there are difficulties at home, is the bride price given by my family less before?" The worm asked tentatively, "Why don't I go back and talk to my father and mother, and add more." β
"Don't!" Miss Hou said: "How much does your family send, my family will have to double when the time comes, and now your family will send it, my father and mother are worried!" There are more than 100 acres of land, and there are only a few shops. Daddy must be unwilling, just want to marry some money over, for this, the uncle also wrote a letter to scold the father, and finally the uncle said that from the house to allocate two shops to add makeup to me. β
The little worm couldn't help but say, do all big families marry girls like this?
"It seems that Hou Thorn Shi really likes you, the two shops in Wuyi, but the old man has a lot of money!" Bug Road.
"Where do you like me, do you value you!" Miss Hou said. "There are so many other branches in the waiting family, and most of them are married to daughters-in-law, and I don't see uncles who send shops."
The worm couldn't help but laugh happily, and it was only then that he found some pride.
The two chatted while walking, the initial strangeness was slowly disappearing, Miss Hou was naturally satisfied with the worm, but the worm also looked at each other more and more pleasing to the eye, not to mention the good-looking, the key is that the person has not yet married into the door, and he already knows to plan for his family.
While they were gossiping, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves on the embankment, and the two turned to the side of the road, and when they looked back, it was an acquaintance of the worm.
The ten lifters who participated in the martial arts examination ran to the side of the two of them with red faces one by one, turned over and dismounted.
"Brigade Marshal!"
"Is this the end of the exam?" Worm was a little surprised, "You can all come out?" β
"Not only did the exam end, but the results were also announced on the spot." A soldier shouted happily: "Luo Hongxin has won the champion!" β
Several people pushed one of them in front of the worm.
The little worm was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and pressed Luo Hongxin's shoulder and laughed: "Wu Zhuangyuan is our right guard, it's very good, hahaha, if General Shi knows the news, I don't know how happy he is!" Our right Weiwei is really the best. By the way, what about the others? β
"Brigade Marshal, there are ten of us, in addition to me, two of them also got hit, and six of them entered the top 100, that is, Xiao Cai returned empty-handed." Luo Hongxin stretched out his hand and pulled a soldier past him, and said.
"Nothing, nothing!" Xiao Worm grabbed the soldier named Xiao Cai: "The benefits can't let us take advantage of all the right guards, we have to leave some for others, I didn't win this year, come back next year, Xiao Cai, go back and practice hard, and next year I will be the same as Luo Hongxin, and I will also get a champion." β
Xiao Cai, who was originally a little sad, burst into tears and smiled: "How can it be so easy to be a champion?" β
The worm laughed and said: "It's difficult for others, but for the soldiers of our right guard, it's like taking things in the bag." Xiao Cai, don't be sad, those of them who have been hit, I don't know where they will be assigned next, it's good that you didn't win, go back with me, after you go back, Luo Hongxin's escort Captain Rong will make up for you first, I can still pack a ticket for this little thing. β
"Thank you, Marshal!" Xiao Cai is really happy this time.
"Let's Xianweiwei won a big victory this time, we have to celebrate well, Luo Hongxin, go and wrap me up on the floor of the Spring Breeze Proud Building, let's drink a big drink, and I'll pay for it." Bug Road.
"Yes!" Luo Hongxin said happily.
The young lady on the side gently tugged at the sleeve of the little insect and said, "I'm afraid this thing is not appropriate." β
"What's wrong?" Bug asked.
"Some people are proud, some people are frustrated, let's celebrate at this time, there will inevitably be people red-eyed, the spring breeze is proud of the place, too ostentatious, I am afraid that there will be some trouble. Today is such a happy day, if someone comes to provoke it, it will not be beautiful, it is better to change places. Miss Hou said.
The little worm rubbed his chin and said, "That makes sense." Not to mention anything else, just in the left Weiwei and the right Xiaowei, there are a lot of acquaintances, and we are so happy that they can't help but make them unhappy. Change places, just go to my house, will you go? β
He turned to greet Miss Jia.
"Go, I can cook a few dishes, even if it's a little bit done!" Miss Hou said.
Luo Hongxin's eyes fell on the woman: "Brigade Shuai, is this sister-in-law?" β
"Not bad." Xiao Worm said proudly: "There is still half a month, we are going to get married, you are not allowed to leave, you will leave after eating my wedding wine." β
"It's nature." Luo Hongxin and others all congratulated.
The group went down the embankment and went straight to the worm's house. Tonight, I'm afraid it's another night of non-drunkenness.
In this martial arts examination, thirty jinshi, twenty-four of the twelve guards of the army, the top one hundred, and eighty-one of the twelve guards, can be described as a real big victory, and the six people who can be in the jinshi in the local martial arts are really both civil and military, and they are all overwhelmed in all aspects. But even so, the list eye was still obtained by a person named Yue Peng in the local martial arts. And the detective side is a martial artist under the command of Liu Chenglin, the right guard.
The curtain was lowered, no matter how happy and sad the family was, the first martial arts of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court ended successfully. And those who did not win, some are ready to return home, some are ready to stay in Wuyi to prepare for next year's martial arts, of course, some people went directly to the recruitment office in the outer city of Wuyi and signed up to join the army. After passing this exam, they also understood that if they wanted to take the road of martial arts, it seemed that it would be easier to get out of the army. Moreover, military merit is also another way out, and it is perhaps easier than the martial arts exam. In the current situation, war could recur at any time.
