Back in Shengzhou, Xu Zhihe was most worried about two people, one was his sweetheart, and the other was Song Qiqiu. Zhou Zong reported to him about the defense of Shengzhou and the construction of warships, which were basically done step by step, and nothing went wrong, and after the report, Zhou Zong told him a good news.

"You know what? Your sweetheart is definitely Wang Rong's daughter. ”

"Ah, how do you know for sure?" Xu Zhihe asked in surprise.

"You went to war, I was bored after I was busy with official business, so I went to the street to wander around, what a coincidence, I met her on the street that day."

"At the pharmacy again?" Xu Zhihe interrupted Zhou Zong and asked.

"Not in the pharmacy, in a place that sells rouge, I happened to pass by, and I saw her with two girls, and I heard one of the girls call her Miss clearly."

"Are you sure you heard me right, but who is the other one?"

"I'm sure I heard her right, I did call her Miss, but the other one didn't know who she was, she looked very wilted, and she didn't say a few words."

After listening to Zhou Zong's words, Xu Zhihe was very happy, no matter what, now he finally knows her identity. Xu Zhihe thought that he would mention this matter to Xu Wen when he had the right opportunity.

In the eighth year of Tianyou (911), news came from the north that the Jin army defeated the Liang army in the Battle of Baixiang, and the Liang army suffered heavy losses. After this battle, Li Cunmiao basically controlled the Hebei region, and his advantage over the Later Liang became more and more obvious, which created favorable conditions for him to attack the Liang and build the Later Tang Dynasty. After analyzing the form, Xu Wen decided to send Li Chengsi to assassinate the history of Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), and echoed it with the momentum of becoming a horn. Xu Wen sent Li Chengsi to do the assassination of Chuzhou for two reasons, one is objective needs, Li Chengsi followed Li Keyong before defecting to Huainan, but because Zhu Wen cut off his way back, he had to take refuge in Yang Xingmi, so he was more familiar with Li Cunmiao and the Jin army; The second is Xu Wen's subjective reasons, Xu Wen was a little resentful of his single-minded support for Zhang Hao, and this time he took the opportunity to drive him out of the court.

And Xu Zhihe was meritorious because of the attack on Li Yu, Xu Wen was very happy to promote him to the assassin of Shengzhou, and the predecessor Wang Rong died of old age because of his age. The history of the thorn is Taishou, which originated in the Han Dynasty, and the two titles were changed repeatedly in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was unified in the last years of the Tang Dynasty and continued until the fall of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time that Xu Wen promoted Xu Zhihe to be the assassin of Shengzhou, he let his eldest son Xu Zhixun make the history of Xuanzhou observation.

The first time he was in charge of the party as a thorn in history, Xu Zhihe was both excited and a little nervous, excited because from now on, he could make decisions on local affairs alone, he could give full play to his talents, and lay the foundation for his greater ambitions in the future.

Soon, Xu Zhihe received a letter from Xu Wen, the content of the letter surprised Xu Zhihe, Xu Wen said in the letter that he had set a marriage, the woman was the daughter of Wang Rong, the former assassin of Shengzhou, and Wang Rong had agreed to this marriage. Xu Zhihe, who read the letter, was both happy and heavy, happy that Wang Rong's daughter was the person he had liked for a long time, and his adoptive father came forward to fulfill his wish, and the heavy thing was that except for himself and Zhou Zong, no one else knew what was going on in his heart, how did his adoptive father know?

"Childe, it's okay now, save a lot of trouble, and do it in one step."

Although this is the case, how did the adoptive father think of Wang Rong's daughter? Is it just a coincidence? Xu Zhihe said uneasily.

"Childe, maybe it's really a coincidence, you think, Lord Xu chooses a family for you, it must be the family of the official eunuch, and the woman of the ordinary family definitely does not meet Lord Xu's requirements. You are now in Shengzhou, Lord Xu must also help you choose nearby, he has been an official for many years, and he must also understand the situation in Shengzhou. Lord Xu came forward to talk about family affairs, and I think he Wang Rong would not object. ”

"I hope so, but I'd like to make sure." Xu Zhihe said.

"How do you want to confirm?" Zhou Zong asked.

Xu Zhihe did not answer, but picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xu Wen, the content of the letter was mainly to thank his adoptive father for his concern for him, and then take the opportunity to ask about Wang Rong and his daughter. He handed the letter to Zhou Zong: "Send someone to Guangling immediately." ”

A few days later, Xu Zhihe received a reply, Xu Wen told Xu Zhihe in the letter: "Dad and Wang Rong used to follow Yang Xingmi, known for more than 20 years, Wang Rong has a loyal personality, easy-going, only this daughter under his knees, since you have reached the age of starting a family, people also happen to be in Shengzhou, so the first thing that comes to mind is Wang Rong's daughter, the dowry father has sent someone to send it directly, the wedding date has been agreed with Wang Rong, on the eighteenth of next month, you prepare well, Dad congratulates you first!" After reading the letter, Xu Zhihe was finally relieved.

"Oh, I see," Zhou Zong said, "No wonder I went to buy rouge, did they already know about it, so they went to buy wedding supplies!" ”

Xu Zhihe glanced at Zhou Zong, "I let you know, can you still let the girl have a little secret!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the day of the big wedding came, and the entire wedding was managed by Zhou Zong and the elders in the house, Xu Wen did not appear at the wedding scene due to busy government affairs, but sent congratulatory gifts. Because it was a big wedding and the groom was Xu Wen's son, the big and small officials and wealthy businessmen in Shengzhou City, even if they didn't know each other, sent congratulatory gifts. But Xu Zhihe didn't want to be too public, so he asked Zhou Zongdu to retreat, and just invited some colleagues who were usually close to him to attend his wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, he encountered something that Xu Zhihe couldn't believe.

Originally, it was a wedding sedan chair according to the convention, and the bride was sitting in it, but when he got home, Xu Zhihe saw the two brides, he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't ask in front of so many guests, he thought that even if Wang Rong had two daughters, his adoptive father would not let him marry two at the same time. At this time, he complained a little about Xu Wen, and he hadn't mentioned this to himself for more than a month! Zhou Zong was also a little confused, but he still reminded Xu Zhihe in time to tie the knot first, and figure out the rest slowly. Finally waited until the banquet was over, and the song was over, Xu Zhihe couldn't wait to return to the cave room, looking at the two brides, Xu Zhihe asked hesitantly: "Under Xu Zhihe, may I ask the two ladies, which one is ...... It's ......" Before Xu Zhihe finished speaking, one of the brides lifted the hijab herself, and the moment she lifted the hijab, the two of them were stunned at the same time. Because the bride in front of her is the person Xu Zhihe thinks about for a long time, at this moment she is wearing bridal makeup, red lips and white face, delicate skin, generous and refined, like a delicate flower, there is an indescribable temperament, Xu Zhihe was stunned. And the bride was also stunned because she had seen Xu Zhihe and still had an impression of him, and the two said two words in unison, "It's you". However, she immediately controlled her surprise, pointed to the bride next to her and said, "Xu Gongzi, this is my sister." Xu Zhihe walked over slowly, and unveiled the bride's hijab nervously, the bride's face is relatively petite, belonging to the small and delicate kind, looking gentle and cute, but compared with the bride next to her, the figure is a little worse. Xu Zhihe looked at the two brides and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Young Master Xu," the bride who lifted her hijab just now spoke, "My name is Song Fujin, and I am the adopted daughter of Wang Tingshi, and this is Wang Ying, the daughter of Wang Tingshi, and I am your main wife." My sister has not been in good health since she was a child, and her adoptive father was afraid that her sister would not be able to take care of Xu Gongzi and Gao Tang when she got married, so he asked me to marry together as Concubine Teng. ”

"Jin'er, I've wronged you." Wang Ying said.

"Sister, don't say that, I was adopted by my adoptive father at the age of six, and my adoptive father treated me as his own daughter, and never let me be wronged, my sister treated me as my own sister, we are like brothers, I am voluntary."

When Xu Zhihe heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart, it is really providential for an adopted son to marry an adopted daughter! So he said: "Don't hide it, I am not Lord Xu's own son, I am also an adopted son, I was adopted at the age of seven, but Lord Xu treats me like a son." It's just that I've been a wooden person since I was a child, my mouth is very stupid, and I can't say some sweet words, so I will be wronged by the two of you in the future. ”

"Don't say that, Childe, I can see that Childe is an honest and humble person, if you are full of sweet words, I will be a little uneasy." Song Fujin said.

"Jin Er has always spoken straight, Xu Gongzi should not be blamed." Wang Ying said.

"Ah, no, no, how could it be!" Xu Zhihe said as he looked at Song Fujin and showed a shallow, heartfelt smile. Song Fujin also looked at Xu Zhihe, and his face instantly turned red.

"It's not early, my sister and son-in-law will go to bed!" Her words made Xu Zhihe feel very uncomfortable to hear.

"Jin'er, I've really wronged you." Wang Ying said.

"Sister, today is your wedding day, as long as you are happy, I am happy! I don't feel wronged! After saying that, he got up and went to the side room.

Looking at her back, Xu Zhihe really wanted to hug her and tell her, "I love you, I just want to be with you tonight", but his adoptive father pointed out that he would marry, so he couldn't help it! He had mixed feelings in his heart, and silently recited "In this life, I Xu Zhihe will never fail you".

According to custom, after Xu Zhihe got married, he took the bride back to Guangling to meet Xu Wen and his wife, and Xu Wen and his wife were very happy to see their daughter-in-law. Wang Ying is not in good health, but she is reasonable and speaks slowly and logically; And Song Fujin has taken care of Wang Ying's daily life since she was a child and has strong independence, so she is quick with her hands and feet, proficient in housework, coupled with filial piety, and her mouth can speak, which coaxes Xu Wen and his wife to like it very much. However, Xu Zhihe felt sorry for Song Fujin, who should have been his main wife, but now he killed Chen Biting Jin halfway, but he still had to serve others like a maid. Xu Zhihe sometimes asked Song Fujin not to be busy, just leave it to his subordinates to do, Song Fujin always said that he was used to it and didn't feel tired, whenever he heard such words, Xu Zhihe liked Song Fujin more and more, because in comparison, Xu Zhihe always felt that Wang Ying was a little squeamish, a little bit of a big lady's temperament.

Although Song Fujin is a concubine Teng, her sense of presence in the Xu family is much stronger than that of her main sister, Wang Ying basically doesn't manage the housework much, Song Fujin is in charge of it, and Xu Zhihe's feelings for Song Fujin are much greater than Wang Ying. But everything seems to be fate, and it is a coincidence, since marrying Song Fujin, Xu Zhihe's career has become smoother and smoother, Wang Ying died after giving birth to two daughters within a few years, and Song Fujin was corrected by Xu Zhihe and gave birth to four sons successively. Later, Xu Zhihe was crowned king and became the emperor, and Song Fujin naturally became a princess and queen, and deduced the legendary life of an adopted daughter's perfect counterattack, which became a thousand-year-old story.
