After Li Xiao finished speaking, Zu Dale still had a stiff face and didn't say anything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, everyone here didn't know that Zu Dale at this time was full of regrets in his heart.

He sighed secretly in his heart, but in fact, it was his own fault, and he had delayed Wan'er for life.

Since he despised Li Xiao's background back then, he was afraid that Li Xiao would just be a low-level junior officer who used his name to do so, so he always objected to prevent Li Xiao from marrying Zu Wan'er.

And after Li Xiao was promoted to commander, Zu Dale felt that he could marry a daughter with confidence, but he didn't expect that there would be such a sideways branch as the emperor's marriage, so that the county lord of the Lu Wangfu took away the name and position that belonged to Zu Wan'er.

Zu Dale is happy, how can he regret the word!

Zu Dashou on the side coughed twice, and said slowly: "Brother Xingyu, I thought that my brother came to see that Commander Li married his niece Wan'er as a flat wife, but it was also a good thing. I am in the Ming Dynasty, and my status as a wife is not much inferior to that of a wife. From my point of view, Commander Li attaches great importance to love and righteousness, does not forget his original intention, and will definitely take good care of Wan'er in the future. And Li commanded the young hero, holding a strong army, and the future is unlimited, if Wan'er follows him, he will be rich and famous in the future. ”

Listening to Zu Dashou's advice, Zu Dale's heart moved, of course he knew that since the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of various places have generally been popular with flat wives. In addition to the service system, the car system and other treatments are slightly inferior to the main wife, and the family status is basically the same as that of the main wife. There is no need to give concubines to the main wife, and the children are also considered concubines, and they have the right to list the tombstones or ancestral tablets after death, and the marriage process also adopts the same Ming media formal marriage ceremony as the wife.

Zu Dale's mind was moved, but he was still silent, just brushing his beard and groaning.

"Cough, cousin, what are you hesitating about, hurry up and agree! My brother Li Xiao, this appearance, this character, this ability, which is not the best among people, such a son-in-law, but it is difficult to find a lantern! To be honest, if Wan'er was my daughter, I would have married him immediately. In a word, as long as you agree, cousin, I will be the matchmaker! ”

Zu Dabi patted the wine urn impatiently on the side and shouted, saying that everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that everyone was speaking for Li Xiao, Zu Dale also got off the donkey, he coughed lightly twice, and said to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, the old man doesn't know the details of the matter between you and Wan'er, maybe there are really many misunderstandings. In this way, after the banquet is over, you can go back to the house with me and explain it to Wan'er. If Wan'er can change her mind, she is willing to be your wife. I, as a father, have nothing to say. ”

After Zu Dale finished speaking, although Zu Zeyan on the side did not speak, the anger on his face was long gone, and it eased a lot.

When Li Xiao heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly bowed to Zu Dale and said: "That is the case, the little son-in-law thanks to the father-in-law!" ”

As soon as Li Xiao's words came out, the audience laughed, Zu Dabi rushed over, grabbed Li Xiao and dragged him to the seat: "Good guy, this son-in-law is called, and he is no longer an outsider." Come on, come on, gossip, come and eat and drink, you first take turns to honor your father-in-law, brother-in-law, and my eldest brother, and then let's fight and talk about winning and losing! ”

Li Xiao smiled brightly: "Okay!" Brother Zu is so enthusiastic, Li is better than being respectful. ”

The banquet was held for nearly two hours until dusk.

At this time, Li Xiao, who toasted back and forth and fought repeatedly, was already drunk and was helped out of the banquet by the guards.

Zu Dabi, who was fighting with him, was also drunk, lying on the wine table, but he was still holding a wine urn, shouting that he hadn't drunk enough, and he would definitely fight with Li Xiao again. In the end, it was Zu Dashou who forcibly dragged him back to his mansion.

At this time, a group of Li Xiao's soldiers, also arranged by Zu Dashou, entered the temporarily vacated Jinzhou military camp to rest.

When Li Xiao returned to his mansion with Zu Dale and Zu Zexun, he was a little sober, and after entering the mansion, he ordered the guards to return and sit alone in the living room of the ancestral mansion.

Soon, a servant brought a decanting soup, and Li Xiao sipped it slowly, but he was extremely emotional in his heart.

I think that at the beginning, two years ago, after I escorted Wan'er from Jinzhou Lushun to Jinzhou Ancestral Mansion, Zu Dale Zu Zexun and his son, for fear that they would climb them, so indifferent and indifferent, it is really regrettable.

Who knows that time has passed, the fortune is poor, and now they are elevated, but they value themselves so much and flatter, which can't help but make Li Xiao's heart sigh more and more that the people in this world are warm and cold, and they can say it all in one word.

Speaking of which, it is still powerful and rich and moving, this world, from ancient times to the present, is as cold and thin as paper, and interests are far more important than friendship and family affection, otherwise, when Su Qin hung the seal of the six countries on his waist, he would not sigh that his sister-in-law was so condescending.

It's just that, compared with the reality and calculations of these people, Zu Wan'er, who is still sincere and never abandons herself when she is in difficulty, is the lover who is truly worthy of her lifelong care.

At this time, Zu Dale Zu Zexun's father and son, together with Mrs. Wang, all returned to the living room with an embarrassed face, and they told Li Xiao that the three of them had gone to persuade Zu Wan'er to come out to meet the guests, but Wan'er was closed.

"Well, it's getting late, everyone please rest early, and let Li Xiao personally take the blame." Li Xiao stood up with a wry smile.

Zu Dale and the others sighed a few words, and finally dispersed helplessly, and Li Xiao, accompanied by the maid Qiao'er, came to Zu Wan'er's boudoir.

He subconsciously pushed the door with his hand, but found that the latch was extremely tight, and it was obvious that Zu Wan'er had completely closed the door from the inside.

Li Xiao sighed, asked Qiao'er to find a stool, and sat down at the door, and then he asked Qiao'er to go down to rest and let him sit alone at the door.

Outside the door of Zuwan's boudoir, there is a cloister, on the wall of the cloister, there is an octagonal carved window lattice, at this time the night is deep, the moon quietly pours down from the window, on the floor of the terrazzo blue bricks, reflecting the neat light gray pane shape.

The cool breeze blows endlessly, sending the pleasant chirping of crickets outside the window, but it makes the whole environment more quiet and quiet.

Li Xiao, who was sitting on the stool, leaned against the door frame, and he drank too much, and he could still feel the pain in his temples. After a while, after being comforted by the evening breeze, he slowly opened his mouth and said towards the door: "Wan'er, I'm Li Xiao, can you hear me?" ”

There was silence inside.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly, but continued regardless of it: "Wan'er, I know that you hate me, hate me for being ruthless, hate me for being unrighteous, hate me for breaking my promises, hate me for coveting power. What I want to say is, Wan'er, Li Xiao is indeed at fault, now that I am outside the door, if you want, but you can spit on and scold as much as you want, in this case, Li Xiao will feel happier in his heart. ”

There was silence in the room, except for the faint sound of sobbing.

Hearing the crying in the house, Li Xiao felt a little relieved, knowing his own words, Wan'er was listening carefully.

He sighed, and then said: "Wan'er, when the holy decree was issued that day, Li Xiao was really helpless in his heart, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, how could Li Xiao have the slightest room to oppose or negotiate!" On that day, I thought that after marrying the county lord, I would let Wan'er marry me as a flat wife, but who knows, I haven't had time to tell you about my intentions, but you have returned to Jinzhou. When Li Xiao heard the news of your departure, it was like a thunderbolt in the middle of a sunny day! Therefore, I thought that Wan'er, you must have thought that I couldn't give you the title of wife, so you decided to leave like this. Every time Li Xiao thinks of this, his heart is full of pain and regret. ”

The sobbing in the room was louder, and Wan'er could be faintly heard crying.

"Wan'er, since you said goodbye, I, Li Xiao, have been worried about you every day, such a **** feeling of heartache but no one can tell, what else can I say! It's just that although you are gone, Li is always unforgettable for you, and he is always worried about how you are doing in Jinzhou. Some time ago, when he heard that Tatar Zifu sent troops to attack Ningjin, Li Xiao was so worried that he decided to send troops north to aid Jinzhou. I did this only to rescue the person I have always loved, so that he would not fall into the clutches of the Tartars. ”

In the house, Wan'er cried loudly, and her sad voice made Li Xiao feel distressed.

"Wan'er, this time I came to Jinzhou, Li has made up my mind, if Wan'er is willing, I want to marry you as a flat wife, and the wedding ceremony will be handled like marrying the county lord, and you will never be wronged. Besides, although the county lord is a wife, she is kind and has a good heart, and she also hopes to have a good sister like you, and it is very good to get along with her daily chat. But you don't have to worry about being idle and difficult after you get married. ”

Li Xiao continued to sigh outside the door: "Wan'er, Li Xiao came from such a humble background that day, fortunately you never gave up, such affection and kindness, Li Xiao will never forget until death." If you can't hold the hand of your son in the end, you will grow old together, and you will be the hatred of Li Xiao's life! Li Xiao stayed here for the night tonight, with Wan'er as a companion. If Wan'er really doesn't want to forgive me and refuses to be Li's wife, Li Xiao won't force it, but blame Li Xiao for not grasping the fate well. ”

When Li Xiao said this, the wine came up again, he leaned against the door frame, trying to resist the drunken and hazy feeling, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, don't you think that Li Xiao is very happy every day. In fact, I have always been strong on the outside, but in the heart, there are unspeakable anxieties and struggles. Since joining the army, I have experienced countless battles and battles, countless false calculations and exploits, as well as the betrayal and death of my own generals, all of which have made me inexplicably sad and helpless. I often wonder how I can speak in such a lonely state of mind as a hereditary commander, but I don't even seem to have a person who can speak the truth. ”

After Li Xiao finished saying this long paragraph, Zu Wan'er in the house, although she still kept crying, her voice was much quieter.

After the increasingly obvious feeling of drunkenness and drowsiness came to him, Li Xiao leaned against the door frame and fell asleep, and his mouth still murmured to himself: "Wan'er, except for you, who knows my heart, who knows my heart。。。。。。 ”

When she heard Li Xiao's snoring outside the door, Zu Wan'er stopped sobbing in the room.

She pushed open the window, let the bright moonlight and the gentle evening breeze caress her tear-stained face together, but the feeling in her heart is that sorrow and joy are intertwined, resentment and comfort overlap, resentment and determination are stumbling, this kind of contradictory mood is chaotic, so that her heart is surging and there is nothing to say.

This enemy is really cut off from himself, and the reason is still messy.

Let's go, perhaps, I really owe him in my previous life.

Zu Wan'er sighed, and with her determination, she gently opened the door.

"Bang!"

Leaning against the intersection of the door panel and the door frame, Li Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, was caught off guard and fell down in embarrassment.

Lying on the ground, Li Xiao, who had not yet woken up, suddenly felt his stomach shaken and sad, he couldn't control it for a while, wow, vomiting mess.

Zu Wan'er couldn't dodge, and her feet were spit out by him.

"You 。。。。。"

Zu Wan'er was ashamed and angry, but she didn't know how to scold him for a while, so she had to hurriedly help Li Xiao, who was drunk on the ground, to the chair next to her, and called Qiao'er in the next room to come out and help clean up.

Li Xiao, who was leaning crookedly on the chair, although he was filthy and embarrassed, his eyes were slightly open, and he was very happy when he caught a glimpse of their busy appearance, he knew that the moment she opened the door, Zu Wan'er should have finally forgiven herself。。。。。。

In the next three days, Zu Da Le Mansion was full of joy, and the whole house was quickly preparing for Li Xiao's grand wedding to Zu Wan'er.

Li Xiao made a generous move, and he also gave Zu Wan'er a pure gold inlaid pink jade ring, a pair of pure gold carved bracelets, a set of pure gold carved phoenix neck ornaments, and a full set of gold beaded jewelry, which dressed Wan'er in a jeweled and rich way.

However, the bride price that Li Xiao gave to Zu Dale was quite different from the bride price of gold and satin given to Zhu Shouyong, the king of Taixing, that day.

This bride price is more grand, and it also makes Zu Dale more excited.

This bride price is 200 nitrated Tartar heads!

Zu Dale, who received this bride price, was full of shock on his face.

He quickly thought in his heart what kind of shock it would bring to the emperor and the imperial court after so many Tartar heads were presented.

So, your official position and future 。。。。。。

His son-in-law Li Xiao is really bold and generous.

Zu Dale accepted Li Xiao's heavy gift with a smile on his face, and his eyes when he looked at Li Xiao were also extraordinarily affectionate and appreciative. Li Xiao also kept 300 Tartar heads, and the remaining 323 heads, he sold them almost half at a price of 100 taels of silver each, and gave them to Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi and others.

Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi and others were very happy to receive such a generous gift from Li Xiao, and their relationship with Li Xiao became more intimate and warm.

At this time, news came from Ningyuan, saying that Duoduo, who led 5,000 Tartar soldiers, was shocked after learning that the Tartar army in Jinzhou had been defeated, and immediately stopped plundering in Ningyuan, and hurriedly led the army to retreat westward, retreating into the Mongolian Karaqin territory, and it is estimated that he had returned to Guangning from the Karaqin tribe by bypassing the Mongolian tribes.

So far, the Tartars have plundered Ning Jin this time, which ended in failure.

The news came to Jinzhou, and the city of Jinzhou was full of jubilation.

Now that the head has been divided, and the Tartars have withdrawn, the chief soldier Zu Dashou, who is in a good mood, arranged for the master to quickly draft the chapter, and then sent it to the Beijing Division and Military Headquarters by an expedited courier of 800 miles.

It is written in the chapter that in this Jinzhou defense battle, Li Xiao led his troops from Shandong to help, and Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, Zu Dabi and other troops and horses fought together, attacked inside and outside, and broke the Tartar army that surrounded Jinzhou City. Among them, Li Xiaobu killed 300 Tartar heads, Zu Dale Department beheaded 200 Tartar heads, and the remaining 323 heads were won by Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi. The tartars were so badly wounded that they returned to Quang Ninh.

At the end of the recital, it is vaguely mentioned that although this battle failed to wipe out the invading Tartars, this kind of killing and injuring to obtain the head of the true Tartars was the biggest victory in Liaodong since the Chongzhen period.

Because the last time Li Xiao won a great victory in Jinzhou, it was also written by this ancestor Dashou's master, so he is quite experienced in writing this kind of good news letter. The entire virtual battle process is written in a brilliant manner, and the plot is gripping and fascinating. Although he did not go to the battlefield, he was able to write about this battle as if he was on the scene, and after seeing it, Zu Dashou Zu Dale and Li Xiao were very satisfied.

Zu Dale sighed in his heart, this Li Xiao is so brave and able to fight, and so good at winning people's hearts, this person will definitely have a great future in the future, and it is unlimited. His own daughter fell in love with this person, but she was quite discerning.

Three days later, presided over by Zu Dashou himself, a grand wedding was held for Li Xiao and Zu Wan'er.

Li Xiao's entire army also sent a large amount of wine and meat from the ancestral mansion, and all of them set up a banquet at the military academy to celebrate together.

At this banquet, the groom's official Li Xiao and a group of ancestors took turns to toast, staggering, and they didn't feel drunk.
