Seeing Zu Dale asking like this, Li Xiao felt that his heart suddenly clicked, he vaguely felt something, but it was not good to speculate. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just calmly and truthfully replied: "Li is a member of the mountain outside Lushun City, and he is a local hunter. ”

Li Xiao heard it clearly, and Zu Zeyan, who was sitting on the side, snorted softly in his nose.

"Oh, I didn't expect Li Zhuangshi to be born in Orion, but he has such good martial arts, rare, rare."

The smile on Zu Dale's face was slightly reduced, and he said this casually. He originally thought that this Li Xiao's speech and demeanor, and his superb strength that could kill three Tartars by himself, must be the son of Jiangmen. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, the highest martial arts were generally hereditary generals, and in order to ensure that the generals would not decline, these generals' martial arts were not taught by foreign teachers, but they were passed down from generation to generation, but he didn't expect that Li Xiao was just an ordinary hunter, which made him a little unexpected.

At this time, Chen Abel brought the servants to everyone and handed tea to everyone, and Zu Dale blew the tea foam and drank the tea slowly.

On the side, Mrs. Wang interjected: "Li Zhuangshi, is there anyone else in your family, are your parents still alive?" ”

Li Xiao sighed lightly: "My father died early, my mother and the whole village were killed by the Tartars, and Li is in Jinzhou and has no relatives." ”

Without waiting for Zu Dale to answer, Zu Wan'er hurriedly interjected on the side: "Father, Li Xiao's martial arts are excellent, and he is alone, it is better for you to keep him by your side and be a family member." ”

Zu Dale frowned, and swept over with cold eyes, but saw that Zu Wan'er, who had finished speaking, looked at Li Xiao with an eager face, and her heart suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

This Li Xiao looks neither humble nor arrogant. But knowing people and faces but not hearts, could it be that he moved Wan'er。。。。。。

Zu Dale's heart was suddenly extremely sour.

In his life, he only has such a precious daughter, who is held in his hand like a pearl every day, and seeing that his daughter is becoming more and more detached, Zu Dale gradually has a desire to find her a good family.

The best choice for Zu Dale to find a spouse for Zu Wan'er is the son of a poet and calligrapher, such as Fang Guangchen, the son of Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong. Although the ancestral family has been a general for generations, it has always been subject to the control of the military officials sent by the imperial court, such as the governor and the governor, which makes Zu Dale, who is a martial artist, have an inexplicable envy of these civil officials, if he can marry his daughter with such a civil official, then Wan'er has found a good husband's family, and she will undoubtedly gain greater political support, so as to have greater authority and influence in this land of western Liao.

If she takes a step back and can't marry the children of civil officials, then she can also find a Jiangmen family with the same background as herself, so as to realize a strong alliance between the generals in the western part of Liaoxi and rely on each other, and it can also expand the power of the ancestral family and become more prosperous.

It's just that I didn't expect that now my daughter was rescued by this ordinary rural hunter Li Xiao, but she seemed to be fascinated by him, and kept talking for him.

Zu Dale turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang, and found that she was looking back at himself with the same complicated eyes.

has been an old husband and wife for many years, and the husband and wife have long been clear-hearted.

"Madam, take Wan'er out to rest, I'll have a separate chat with Li Xiao." Zu Dale turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang and said softly.

Mrs. Wang agreed, and then took Zu Wan'er's hand and walked out.

Zu Wan'er's face showed a look of surprise, and she didn't know why her father suddenly let her leave. She turned her head and looked at Li Xiao, whose face was still as calm as water, and her eyes were full of uneasiness.

Li Xiao gave her a warm smile in return.

After Mrs. Wang and Zu Wan'er left, Zu Zeyan stood up from his chair, he looked angry and asked in a low voice, "Li Xiao!" Have you ever done anything to my sister? ”

Zu Zeyan asked angrily, but only got a sneer from Li Xiao.

"But I don't know where Zu Gongzi started to say this?"

Li Xiao glanced at him and replied coldly.

Zu Zeyan's face turned red in an instant, and he said hurriedly: "Li Xiao, you have to take advantage of my sister's young and ignorant to seduce her, hmph, you don't look at you, a country hunter, you actually want to eat swan meat, but how can you deserve it。。。。。 ”

"Zeyan, shut up!"

Zu Dale interrupted Zu Zeyan with a calm face on the side, he coughed a few times again and again, and looked at Li Xiao with inexplicably complicated eyes: "Li Xiao, although my ancestor family is grateful to you for saving Wan'er, but 。。。。。。 ”

"Needless to say, Li Xiao only said one sentence, Li Mou is right and stands upright, but he will never take advantage of people's danger to do anything that is unacceptable!"

Li Xiao's words were clear and powerful, and then, he calmly looked directly at Zu Dale and said: "Master Zu, what you think in your heart, Li Xiao knows it well, and he is just worried that I, a nameless and powerless rural hunter, will delusionally want to climb the ancestral girl, thus lowering the door of your ancestral family." ”

Li Xiao's words were sharp and direct, which made Zu Dale's old face turn red for a moment.

"Li Zhuangshi 。。。。。。" Zu Dale wanted to speak and stopped.

Zu Zeyan interjected: "Li Xiao, since you are frank, then I, Zu Zeyan, will also tell the truth, even if Wan'er has a heart for you, but she is a lady of the gate, and a country hunter like you, the background of the family is not worthy of everything." To know。。。。。。 ”

"What if Li gets ahead in the future?" Li Xiao said coldly and interrupted him.

Zu Zeyan was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer of contempt appeared on his lips: "You said it so lightly, today, if an ordinary villager like you who has no power or power wants to make a career, how easy is it!" ”

Li Xiao was about to reply, Zu Dale coughed lightly twice, and said lightly on the side: "Li Zhuangshi, I know what you want to say, probably because the hero doesn't ask where he comes from." ”

Li Xiao's heart moved, and his face sank like iron. Zu Dale looked at him with complicated eyes, and continued: "Li Zhuangshi, it's not the old man who hits you, this getting ahead is definitely not as simple as a proverb says. As far as the old man himself is concerned, the old man was sixteen years old when he joined the army. Because the old man is a disciple of the general, as soon as he enters the army, he will be appointed as the deputy commander, such a position, if it is an ordinary sergeant, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it in his life. But even with such a high starting point, the old man has been in the army for twenty-five or six years since the Wanli period, and he is still only the deputy chief soldier of the forward battalion, and he is only a general of the third rank of Zhaoyi, which shows how difficult it is to be promoted. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you have a bright future, I am afraid that it will be decades later. My Wan'er is a young girl, how can she afford to wait. ”

After Zu Dale finished saying this long paragraph, he sighed, picked up the teacup again, and drank the tea.

"Father's words are very reasonable, Li Xiao, in order to show your love for saving my Wanmei, my ancestral family will reward you heavily, but please also break off the idea of interacting with my Wanmei." Zu Zeyan added coldly on the side.

Li Xiao laughed suddenly, he stood up, shook his head and sighed and said, "Master Zu, Master Zu, there is a way that there is no speculation for more than half a sentence, and Li doesn't want to say anything more." It's just that the relationship between me and Wan'er is innocent, and there is no vulgarity as you think, and you have wasted so much speculation and thinking in vain, which really makes Li Mou's teeth cold! Okay, now that Miss Wan'er has returned home smoothly, Li said goodbye and said goodbye. ”

Li Xiao stood up, picked up the package that was put aside, bowed his hand to Zu Dale, and was about to leave.

"Li Zhuangshi, let's stay."

Zu Dale stopped him, and then whispered to Zu Zeyan.

"Father, this one thousand taels of honorarium is too much." Zu Zeyan was a little unhappy.

"Not much, this saving people from the hands of the Tartars is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing like a tiger's mouth, if it were you, would you be able to rescue Wan'er? Since my ancestral family has accepted his kindness, Anke has deducted the honorarium. Zu Dale said in a low voice.

Zu Zeyan was speechless, bowed his head and left.

Zu Da Lefu turned to Li Xiao and said: "Zhuangshi, I see that you have no relatives now, no job and no job, but you have an extraordinary martial arts, if you don't serve the court, it will be a pity." If you are willing to join the army, the old man can write a letter of recommendation by himself, then you can get a good position in this western Liaoning, no matter where you go to join the army. But I don't know what you think? ”

Li Xiao pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The world is so big, where is not where I Li Xiao lived, where is not the place where heroes make meritorious contributions. If Li can only get a position by virtue of such a favor as an adult, not to mention that the soldiers in the army will be disdainful, Li himself is afraid that he will be ashamed and embarrassed! The kindness of the adult, Li Mou understood it. This letter of recommendation is not necessary. ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Zu Dale again, and then turned around and left.

Zu Dale looked at Li Xiao's departing back in silence, and there was a faint trace of guilt in the complicated expression on his face.

When Li Xiao brought back the snow from the stable, Zu Zeyan walked over with Chen Abo, who was carrying a large bag of silver.

Zu Zeyan gestured to Chen Abel with an expressionless face, and Chen Abel hurriedly handed over the one thousand taels of honorarium in his hand to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took the silver, habitually carried it in his hand, sneered, put the thousand taels of silver into the large package where the silver was originally placed, hung it on the side of the horse's back, and then led the horse out of the ancestral mansion.

"This white silver is much brighter than the hearts of the people in this world."

Li Xiao stepped out of the mansion and sighed proudly.

Zu Zeyan and Chen Abel both heard Li Xiao's emotion clearly.

Chen Abel looked puzzled, but Zu Zeyan was iron-faced.

(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
