It wasn't until the bell tower sounded the four drums that Shang Cheng braved the fine snow to return to the post house.

Before he dismounted, Suza, who had turned around at the gate of the post house for an unknown number of turns, immediately ran forward, grabbed his bridle and said, "Governor, you are finally back!" He turned his head and scolded the two guards who followed Shang Cheng fiercely, "Two dead cowpests!" As soon as I walked for most of the night, I didn't know how to come back first! After Tian Xiaowu was transferred, he naturally took over as the left lieutenant, and he was solely responsible for the safety of Shang Cheng's entry and exit, so he had the right to inquire about Shang Cheng's behavior.

Shang Cheng threw the reins to a guard, swept the snow on his shoulders with a whip in his hand, stomped his feet that were a little stiff and cold, and said, "Originally, I went to Xipeng to see if the few books I ordered had arrived, but unfortunately I met two old friends halfway through the road and dragged me to drink tea and talk." Originally, I said that I would leave after sitting halfway, but I couldn't stand the enthusiasm of my friends, and my ass stuck as soon as I sat down. He saw Suza staring at the two guards with a dark face, and then smiled, "It's none of their business, they said that they would come back first to report it, but I didn't agree." This is the capital, not the Frontier Military Village, what are you doing with so much care. ”

Su Gengen ignored him, and first said to the two guards: "Go to Captain Bao and be punished!" The two guards buried their heads and led the horses away without saying a word.

Su Za disposed of the two guards mercilessly, Shang Cheng's face was also a little unbearable, he opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words of love for the two soldiers, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw that Su Zha's expression was stern, so he had to swallow it back, and then walked up the steps with a smile.

"Commander, Chen Zhuguo has been waiting for you all night......"

Shang Cheng stopped for a moment. Why did Chen Pu get here? This black light is blind in the middle of the night, what is she doing in the post house? First of all, he ruled out the possibility of urgent military affairs, even if there was a major incident in the north, he would not let a general of the Pillar State report to him. Discuss military affairs? It doesn't seem to be possible. The grassland strategy proposed by himself is a top secret of the imperial court, and it is impossible for those who fail to participate in the secret meeting of the prime minister's public office to know the details at all...... In a hurry, he couldn't think of a clue, so he simply asked, "Are people still there?" ”

"It's been almost half an hour."

Gone? Shang Cheng was even more surprised and asked, "What is she doing here?" ”

"The general didn't say anything."

"Oh." Shang Cheng nodded. He only now remembered the evening when he was a guest at Chen Pu's house. This princess of Changsha won't come to explain to herself, right? She shouldn't be that naïve, right? This matter clearly shows her short reason, and she still wants to explain a few words to dissipate herself? Where in the world is there such a cheap thing. He couldn't help but purse his lips and shook his head and smiled. This general of the Pillar Kingdom really has no way to evaluate! Speaking of which, she and herself are also old colleagues in the military, and they have been killed all the way from the banks of the Alegu River, don't you still know your temper, so you really think that you will be angry with her for this big thing? That's really when people look at themselves in the cracks of the door......

Suza said, "Look, do you want to send someone to tell the general that you are back?" He still doesn't understand which part of the book Chen Zhuguo is singing, it comes inexplicably, and it goes inexplicably.

Shang Cheng said: "Leave her alone." You remember that tomorrow I will send someone to find Captain Liao next to the general, and say that I have something to discuss with her. ”

Since the commander said that he didn't care about Chen Pu's intentions, then Su Zha didn't have to worry about it, and followed Shang Cheng behind him with a low chuckle, and said, "Tell your lord that Captain Liao hasn't left yet." ”

Shang Cheng heard Su Zha's laughter be both treacherous and sneaky, and knew that he had also seen some clues, squinted at him, and asked, "You know?" ”

Suza immediately restrained his smile and said, "Tell your lordship, I don't know anything under my position!" But as soon as he finished speaking, his face couldn't hold back anymore, and he laughed several times before he whispered again, "It's been half an hour, how is Captain Liao on the left, how is Captain Tian on the right, and even how many people and acres of land in the family of the little fifth brother can ask clearly, I'm afraid it's ......."

"I'm afraid I'm looking down on Xiao Wu, isn't it?"

Suza grinned and nodded vigorously.

"That's what I came to her for." Shang Cheng said, "Xiao Wu will be twenty-two or three in the New Year, this age is in our hometown, the baby should be able to run all over the ground, but he has not yet married." I see that Captain Liao is good-looking, has a good heart, is a capable woman who cares about the family, and has a good family background, and is a good match for Xiao Wu, I can't say it, I, the elder brother, can only take care of it for him once. As soon as the morning dawns tomorrow, you will find the post keeper here to guide you to the street to prepare a set of the best dowry, and then pick a few people who are bright spots, change into clean clothes, and go with me to propose marriage for Xiao Wu. When he said something, Suza agreed, and finally saw that Suza smacked his mouth and seemed to have something to say, so he stopped and smiled, "What, pretending to be a ghost in front of me?" Do you also fall in love with a girl from a certain family, and want me to come forward to tell you the matchmaker? ”

Suza grinned.

"Who do you have a crush on?"

"Sui'er next to Miss."

"Sui'er? The maid next to Yue'er? Shang Cheng subconsciously repeated the name. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked uncertainly, "Is that the golden spike?" He remembered that there was such a maid beside Yue'er called this name. He laughed and slapped Suza on the shoulder. "Vision! The most beautiful girl in the backyard is this golden spike, with a round face, curved eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a small dimple on her smiling face. ”

Su Za rubbed his shoulders and said, "My lord, you are talking about the rouge girl next to the eldest lady. ”

Got it wrong yourself? In all probability. There are twenty or thirty maids in the backyard who follow Yue'er and Pan'er, except for a few personal maids of the two, he can't tell who is who at all. Even those personal maids, he can only recognize their appearance, and calling their names will definitely be confused. Shang Cheng had no choice but to ask, "Then who is the Golden Harvest?" ”

"The one next to Miss who chatters all day long is Jin Sui."

"Oh." Shang Cheng still couldn't remember who was Jinsui. But that's obviously not a problem. He nodded, and immediately said in a big way, "No problem, when you return to Yanshan, I will make the decision for you and marry the golden spike to you." ”

Su Zha blinked his eyes and snorted several times, and couldn't help but interject: "My lord, what I want to marry is not Jin Sui, but Sui'er." ”

"Huh?" Shang Cheng's eyes widened in shock. Isn't the golden spike a spike?

It seems that adults really can't tell the difference between Sui'er and Jin Sui. Suza could only explain to his supervisor with a wry smile: "Miss Jinsui is Miss's personal maid, and what I want to marry is Sui'er is Miss's rough girl......"

That's right. Shang Cheng laughed. No matter if he is Jin Sui or Sui'er, as long as Suza likes it one by one, of course, the girls have to be willing to do it one by one, and then the matter is decided.

"Then Sui'er. This girl is blessed, and she will be the wife of an eight-rank official in the blink of an eye. You are now under the eighth grade, and you can be a battalion lieutenant or lieutenant when you go down to the guard. In this way, after a while, I will put you in the guard army and earn some more military merits and upgrade a few ranks, maybe Jin Sui will follow you, and you can also get a court pardon......"

Of course, it couldn't be better! Of course, Suza wanted to upgrade his rank a few more steps, especially in the just-concluded grassland raid war, Tian Xiaowu earned a lot of credit, and he was even more greedy. Since he came out of Yanzhou, he has pestered Shang Cheng several times, and he wants to go to the border to earn military merits wholeheartedly. At present, when he heard that Shang Cheng not only promised to help him marry a daughter-in-law, but also agreed to let him go out to lead the troops, he was so happy that he crossed his legs and kicked a few steps to grab the steps of the guest hall, holding Shang Cheng's arm with one hand and going to the door curtain with the other, and said flatteringly: "Slow down one by one, adults"

While talking, Liao Pheasant, who was waiting in the guest room, and Bao Kan, who was talking to her, had already come out......

…… The next day was Mu Xiu's day, Shang Cheng bought a few carts of Ejiao Jiahe dry lacquer Zhu Wei and Nansilk Shu brocade rice fine noodles in Dongpengzi according to the customs of going to Beijing as Liao Pheasant the night before, and then took Bao Kansuza and a few guards to Liao's house to propose marriage.

The dignified General Xuanwei and the fake governor of Yanshan of the imperial court came to the door in person to be a matchmaker, and they were also proposing marriage for their brothers, how could the Liao family not allow it? Liao Pheasant's father, aunt, biological mother, and close relatives of the Liao family who rushed to congratulate him, all of them were smashed by this good thing that fell from the sky, and no one thought of a thing after the joy, why did the Admiral of Yanshan surnamed Shang, but his brother was surnamed Tian? Liao's father didn't know whether he was straightforward or anxious to implement this family affair around the corner, and he originally followed the custom of getting married according to the "six rites" of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting the period, and welcoming the "six rites", and the first five steps were completed within one day, and even the extremely important "invitation period" in the "six rites" was determined one by one to meet the good days, and a fortune teller was temporarily found from a nearby market town. The fortune teller, who received a heavy gift from the male and female families, and at the same time carried the two small silver ingots secretly stuffed by Liao Pheasant in his arms, pinched his fingers and counted, and immediately said that the good days were just before the year; It doesn't matter what day it is, as long as it's a year ago; If the Liao family is willing to send their daughter to the man's family to marry, it will be even more prosperous......

Since the fortune teller asserted that as long as Liao Pheasant went to Yanshan, the two families would be prosperous to the point that "it cannot be said and cannot be said", what else does Liao's father have to hesitate about? He prepared a dowry for his daughter, and tried to get her to see her husband as soon as possible. In addition, he also asked Shang Cheng to help Liao Pheasant with other things, if Liao Pheasant went to Yanshan, he could still keep the rank of captain of Liupin, it would be the best.

Shang Cheng said on the spot that the title could be left one by one, which was earned by Liao Pheasant's blood and hard work, and no one could take it away; As for the position, he admitted that it was a bit tricky, and he could only make a decision after arriving in Yanshan depending on the situation......
