In view of the urging of his mother Ge and the opinion of the Le clan, Meng Zhong did not dare to delay the matter, so he went to the hometown of the Le clan two days later, that is, on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

There were many people in the company this time, first of all, the elder was recommended, after all, this marriage was brokered by this elder in the first place, and this kind of matter should also be handled by the elders of the family.

In addition, there are Meng Zhong's mother Ge and sister Meng Yan, the former is mainly to apologize to the Le family on behalf of her son, after all, her son delayed the daughter of the Le family for nearly three years in vain because of Zhao Guo and his party, even though the Ge family has already regarded the woman named Le Yan as his daughter-in-law, but she can't help it in the bottom of her heart.

As for Meng Yan, she just didn't want to stay at home alone.

In addition to the above three, there were also Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi, Rong Yi and several Song soldiers under the latter.

Aside from Meng Hu and Meng Sui, who are purely fun, Le Yi is what Meng Zhong wants to take to the Le family, after all, Le Yi is also a descendant of the Le family, and the Le family of the Song Kingdom is the same one, this time I came to the Song Kingdom, and by the way, I took a look at the place where the ancestors once lived, which is also a good thing for Le Yi.

As for Rong Yi and several Song soldiers under his command, they were mainly ordered by the crown prince Dai Wu to protect Meng Zhong and others, so it can also be said that Rong Yi and others are Meng Zhong's guards, even if Meng Zhong has now returned to his white body.

Speaking of the Le clan's hometown "Leyi", it is located in the northeast of Mengyi, east of "Yucheng", north of a lake called "Mengzhu", the geographical environment is quite superior, so in addition to farming, hunting, the Le family will also go to Mengzhu Lake to operate boats and fish, and it is also the wealthier family among many surrounding families.

Mengyi is not far from Leyi, usually it only takes more than two hours to ride a horse and take a car, which is about the same distance as Mengyi and Zhuangziju, considering that the snow on the road has not yet melted at this time, so Mengzhong and his party of four chariots have walked for more than three hours in total, and then they arrived in Leyi.

Like Mengyi, Leyi also has young people who are specially patrolled, usually teenagers, and if they find a wild animal eating the crops in the field, or if a thief comes to raid the field, these children will inform the village, and then the township will dispatch an adult man.

Because of this, before Meng Zhong and the others got close to the township, they were discovered by the children of the Le clan who were playing outside the township, and then these children hurriedly informed the adults in the township, so that when Meng Zhong and the others' chariot had just stopped at the gate on the west side of the township, there were about a dozen young men from the Le clan, all holding swords and Changge, and greeted them.

Among these people, there are two brothers with Meng Zhong and others who have a very good relationship, Le Jin and Le Xu.

"Lejin, Lexu, it's us."

Before Meng Zhong could speak, Meng Hu saw the two brothers Le Jin and Le Xu early, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hu?"

The brothers Le Jin and Le Xu were stunned, and then looked at it, and the four chariots standing opposite were not the Meng Zhong and his party that they were familiar with.

Immediately, Le Jin waved his hand to dismiss the clan brothers behind him: "Disperse, disperse, it's Mengzhong, Menghu, and Mengsui of Mengyi, they are not outsiders, just let Ah Xu and I entertain them." ”

As he spoke, he threw the troops in his hand to the clan brothers, and immediately greeted him with Le Xu.

As a result, I happened to see the elder of the Meng clan, Meng Jian, as well as Meng Zhong's mother Ge Shi and sister Meng Yan, walking down from the two chariots respectively.

Seeing this, the smile on Le Jin's original face suddenly became serious, after all, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, and Meng Sui are all brothers and companions who have shared weal and woe with each other, and he and Le Xu are enough to receive them, but the mother Ge of Meng Jian and Meng Zhong is not qualified to receive them in the clan.

Therefore, he immediately asked his clan brothers to return to their hometowns and inform the patriarch "Le Guo" and ask the latter to come in person.

Immediately, they immediately came to Meng Jian and Ge Shi, and respectfully saluted and greeted: "Lord Zongzhu, auntie." ”

Meng Jian and Ge Shi were no strangers to Le Jin and Le Xu, and nodded with a smile in response.

A moment later, when Le Jin and Le Xu led Meng Zhong and his party to the township, Le Guo, the patriarch of the Le clan, hurriedly greeted him, and after seeing Meng Xuan, he said with a smile: "It turned out that the Master Zongzhu of the Mengshi clan had visited, and he was disappointed, forgive his sins." ”

"Isn't Patriarch Le's words a shame?"

Meng Jian scolded with a smile on crutches, and it could be seen that he had a very good relationship with Le Guo, the patriarch of the Le clan.

After a few words of greeting, Le Guo asked with a smile: "I originally planned to go to Mengyi in a few days to find Brother Mengqi and Brother Xian to drink together, but I never thought that Brother Xian would come to my clan today...... Is there something going on? ”

Seeing this, Meng Jian beckoned Meng Zhong to his side, and immediately said to Le Guo: "This son is the leader in my Meng clan, Meng Zhong...... Three years ago, I was originally the matchmaker to set the marriage of the patriarch and the young daughter, but it happened that his brother-in-law Hui Ang asked him to go to Zhao State for training, and he should have returned to Song State last year, but he didn't expect that last year Qi State invaded my Song State, and this son served as a general next to Dai Wu, the prince of Song State, to resist the Qi army, so that he was able to return to Mengyi in mid-December last year...... Therefore, the patriarch's young daughter has been delayed for three years, and whether it is me or this son, I also feel very sorry. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing this, Le Guo looked Meng Zhong up and down.

In fact, there are things about Meng Zhong, the patriarch of the Le clan also knows a lot, after all, Meng Zhong's little friends Le Jin and Le Xu are his nephews, through Le Jin and Le Xu, Le Guo also knows a lot of things, such as Meng Zhong's connections, and for example, Meng Zhong's experience as Zhao's father's guard Sima, etc., but Meng Zhong's assistance to the crown prince Dai Wu to resist the Qi army, he has heard of it for the first time.

"Then the little girl's marriage ......," Le Guo squinted his eyes and said tentatively.

Hearing this, Meng Jian said with a smile: "Today, this son's mother, Ge Shi, came to visit the patriarch in person, doesn't the patriarch know?" ”

Upon hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Le Guo's face.

I have to say that for Meng Zhong, Le Guo's attitude is also a little complicated, originally, Meng Zhong as a big disciple of Zhuangzi, and Meng Zhong himself is also quite talented, and it is of course a good thing to marry his daughter to this son, but Meng Zhong went to Zhao without a sound, and a farewell is nearly three years, this matter does make Le Guo a little annoyed, after all, his youngest Le Yan was already sixteen years old at the time, and after three years in a blink of an eye, he was nineteen years old.

In contemporary times, how can any daughter of a serious family not be married at the age of nineteen? Isn't this gossip for no reason?

What's even worse is that this kid named Meng Zhong hasn't mentioned this matter in the past three years, and Le Guo has also suffered some gains and losses, and he doesn't know whether he should continue this marriage.

Fortunately, this kid in front of him still has a little conscience, and he has never proposed to repent of his marriage at this time, otherwise, Le Guo really doesn't know how to explain to his daughter.

"Patriarch Le."

At this time, Ge Shi also came over and saluted apologetically: "This matter is really unacceptable, the concubine and her young son came to ask the patriarch for guilt today." ”

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that nothing happened in this matter after all, Le Guo's mood was also very good.

It's no wonder, after all, Meng Zhong is really good, and this kind of son-in-law is simply unattainable.

After chatting a few words, Le Guo invited Meng Jian, Ge and others to the ancestral house in the family.

During this period, Le Jin and Le Xu also understood the purpose of Meng Zhong and the others coming, and joked with Meng Zhong with a playful face: "Ah Xu and I originally planned to go to Mengyi after the New Year, and ask your kid to give my cousin an explanation, but fortunately, your kid is still a good ......acquaintance" Saying, Le Jin hugged Meng Zhong's neck, squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then in a few days, we will be real brothers." ”

On the side, Meng Sui couldn't help but interject when he saw this: "Then don't you call your cousin-in-law to listen?" ”

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Le Jin and Le Xu were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other on the ground.

They suddenly thought of a question, Le Yan is their cousin, if Meng Zhong, this kid, marries their cousin, isn't it their cousin-in-law? Half a cut out of thin air?

You must know that when you count the age, Meng Zhong is a few months younger than them!

Thinking of this, Le Jin immediately sneered and said: "Each has its own opinion, each has its own ......"

"Hahaha-"

Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi, including Rong Yan and others on the side, couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright." Quietly knocked off Le Jin's hand around his neck, Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "I came to Leyi today mainly for two things, the first ...... Well, that's it; As for the other one, you have also seen Ah Yi, you should understand. ”

Hearing this, Le Jin turned his head and glanced at Le Yi, and said with a smile: "Ah Yi, you are also surnamed Le, and this place is no different from your hometown, I will take you around when I go back, by the way, please ask the sect master, rummage through the genealogy, I hope you can find the name of your ancestor and fill you in the genealogy." ”

"Okay." Le Yi smiled and nodded.

In all fairness, the Le family of the Song Kingdom is actually not a powerful family, even if the family tree adds Le Yi's name, this is actually not helpful to Le Yi, but people in this era are like this, they have a strong idea of "recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors", even if it is Le Yi, it is not exempt from vulgarity.

However, after listening to Le Jin's words, Meng Zhong felt very strange and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it good for you to take him there now?" ”

"That's not going to happen." Hearing this, Le Jin and Le Xu glanced at each other, and smiled sheepishly: "Now my two brothers still have important matters, for example, take you to meet my cousin, that is, the wife who has not passed through the door......"

As soon as he heard this, Meng Hu immediately coaxed: "Go and go together!" ”

So, after consulting Le Guo and getting the latter's permission, Le Jin, Le Xu and Meng Hu took Meng Zhong, who was helpless about it, followed by Meng Sui, Le Yi, Rong Yi and a few Song soldiers who were secretly snickering, and a group of people came to the home of the patriarch Le Guo, a mansion that seemed to occupy a large area.

According to Le Jin and Le Xu, Le Guo has two sons and three daughters, the eldest son is named "Le Zeng", who is also in his thirties this year, and is currently in the family, preparing to inherit the position of patriarch; The second son's name is "Le Meng", about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is currently serving as the county's Zosa in Yucheng, and he is also in charge of two or three hundred soldiers, mainly responsible for the security and anti-theft in the Yucheng area on weekdays.

As for the three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are all married, the former married to "Xincheng" not far from here, and the latter married to the Hua clan and married the young patriarch of Huahu and their clan, leaving only the youngest daughter Le Yan, who is nineteen years old and has not yet married, so that in the past two years, it is inevitable that some people will gossip behind their backs, talking about what is going on with this little daughter, otherwise why would she not find her in-laws when she is so old?

In this world, there is never a shortage of idlers who are full of food and have nothing to do.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he was greeted by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.

Immediately, Le Jin greeted: "Cousin, your brother-in-law is here." ”

It turned out that this man was Le Guo's eldest son, Le Zeng, who had just received news from the family and learned that his father Le Guo had ordered him to go to the ancestral house to receive the elders of the Meng clan together, so he happened to meet Meng Zhong, Le Jin and others here.

"I see......"

When Le Jin briefly introduced Meng Zhong to Le Zeng, Le Zeng looked Meng Zhong up and down, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian hasn't given Sister Sister's answer in the past three years, which really shouldn't be, but since Brother Xian has realized that he missed it, Brother Fool won't blame him...... The mother and sister-in-law are all at home, Ah Jin, Ah Xu, you take everyone into the house, and the foolish brother will go to the ancestral house first. ”

"Cousin, go." Lejin nodded.

Glancing at the back of Le Zeng's departure, Meng Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really nervous about seeing Le Yan's family, but for now, at least Le Zeng was still a knowledgeable brother, otherwise if he met someone with a bad temper, he couldn't help but say that it was not impossible to beat Meng Zhong - although he might not be able to beat Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, and Meng Sui.

At the same time, Le Guo's wife, Xiang Shi, was talking with her youngest daughter Le Yan in the house.

After saying a few words, seeing that his daughter was sewing a dress in her hands, Xiang couldn't help but complain: "That little cub named Meng Zhong is really not a thing, and he has delayed my daughter for three years, and now there is not even a ...... You also sew new clothes for his sister. ”

Hearing this, Le Yan said softly: "He...... His mother, Ge Shi, had to work hard in the fields and take care of his sister on weekdays, and when her daughter visited his house a while ago, she saw that his sister's clothes were a little old...... The daughter's name is Yan, and his sister is also called Yan, which may also be a kind of fate......"

"I'm afraid that kid won't appreciate it."

Xiang said dissatisfiedly: "Listening to the two boys of Le Jin and Le Xu, that kid has some ability, and when he was in the Zhao Kingdom, he actually served as the guard Sima of the King of Zhao and was in charge of an army of thousands of people...... Tsk, thousands of people, the Mengshi and the clansmen of our Le clan together, I'm afraid there are not thousands, but it's a pity that this kid is really ......"

"Mother." Le Yan gently persuaded.

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet." Xiang Shi rubbed his daughter's hair, smiled and said with relief: "In a few days, my mother asked Le Jin and Le Xu to go to Mengyi to ask again, to see if Meng Zhong's kid is back, in short, my mother has to let that kid give our daughter an explanation no matter what......"

As he was talking, Le Jin hurriedly broke into the house and said with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Yan'er, that kid from Meng Zhong is here." ”

Hearing this, Xiang and Le Yan's mother and daughter couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Immediately, Xiang Shi said eagerly, "Can you find out what he is doing?" Isn't it ......."

Hearing this, Le Jin said with a smile: "Did that kid come with the elders of his clan and his mother Ge Clan, why do you say it?" Of course, I discussed with my uncle and aunt about my marriage with Sister Yan'er. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, Le Yan also seemed to be faintly relieved, and immediately two crimson patches flew up on her cheeks, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

"It's okay that this kid has a bit of a conscience."

Xiang Shi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Where is that kid now?" ”

"Hey, hey." Le Jin smiled and said in a low voice: "I tied him up with Ah Xu......"

"Well done!" Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Bring that kid in and let the concubine take a closer look." ”

"Okay!" Le Jin retreated.

At this time, Le Yan put down the clothes she was sewing in her hand in a little panic, and said timidly: "Mother, my daughter will avoid it first......"

"Avoiding what?"

Xiang Shi took his daughter's hand and whispered, "You are also a big girl, what are you afraid of?" Don't you want to meet your future husband? ”

As soon as she heard this, Le Yan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

After all, over the years, although she has learned some things about Meng Zhong through many oral accounts, such as appearance, family background, and teacher, she has never seen it with her own eyes, so how can she not be curious?

can rashly meet her future husband who has not yet met - no, no, no, the other party has not yet admitted this marriage in person, and it cannot be counted as her husband......

But......

Just when Le Yan's thoughts were confused, Le Jin and Le Xu had already walked to this room with Meng Zhong.

"Aunt, Sister Yan'er, this kid is Meng Zhong! …… Ah Zhong, these two are your future mother-in-law and wife. ”

It seems that Le Jin's straightforward introduction made Xiang very happy, but it made Meng Zhong and Le Yan quite embarrassed.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Meng Zhong respectfully saluted towards Xiang's family, and said, "Boy Meng Zhong, meet you...... Aunt. ”

Seeing Meng Zhong calling himself aunt, Xiang didn't care, and looked at the young man in front of him carefully.

Not to mention, although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Meng Zhong before, until he saw Meng Zhong with his own eyes, the dissatisfaction in her heart suddenly disappeared, after all, Meng Zhong was indeed outstanding in her opinion, with a dignified appearance, and an indescribable temperament, which was obviously related to the thousands of soldiers he had led.

During this period, Le Yan also lowered her head and secretly looked at Meng Zhong out of the corner of her eye, but because she was shy, she didn't dare to look directly at the young man in front of her.

However, at this moment, Le Jin said with a smile on the side: "Ah Zhong, don't you want to greet your future wife?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong subconsciously turned his head to look at Le Yan, who was sitting next to Xiang's side, and happened to collide with the latter's gaze.

Suddenly, Le Yan's cheeks turned crimson and she quickly lowered her head.

At this moment, she only felt her chest thumping, and her face was extremely hot.

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ It's really beautiful.'"

At a glance, Meng Zhong also saw Le Yan's appearance, only to see that this woman had a fair complexion, under the soft green silk draped on both sides of her face, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and then a pair of beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and under the straight nose bridge, it was a small lip, and when Meng Zhong turned her head to look at her, her red lips opened slightly, and she seemed to be quite panicked.

In all fairness, because Meng Zhong had seen those well-dressed Zhao girls in the palace in Handan Palace, so when he saw Le Yan at this moment, although he also felt that the latter was even beautiful, but it was not to the point of shock, but it was undeniable that this woman belonged to the kind of beautiful and dignified lady who was like a lady, and the beauty of the two was different from those well-dressed Zhao girls in Handan Palace.

At least the beauty of Le Yan is natural, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Because of this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but look at it twice.

And although Le Yan lowered her head, she could still feel that the young man's gaze in front of her was falling on her face, and she couldn't help but panic, and even held her breath in panic, holding her breath tightly with her hands, at a loss.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Xiang family inadvertently relieved her daughter, and when she saw Meng Zhong, a young man, looking at her daughter intently, she was also happy in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Meng Zhong, is the daughter of the concubine beautiful?" ”

"Uh......" Meng Zhong smiled, considering that Le Yan was in front of him, he finally nodded cheekily: "Beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Shi was even more happy, and asked again: "Then what is the marriage between the two of you......?"

At this time, in front of the Xiang family, Meng Zhong naturally didn't dare to say anything like "let's get along with each other first", which sounded like a bastard to the other party, and after a little hesitation, he gave up his hand and said: "It's all up to Patriarch Le and Aunt Le to decide." ”

"Okay, okay."

Xiang Shi immediately smiled when he heard this.

I have to say that she has removed a boulder in her heart at this moment - otherwise, if Meng Zhong is not satisfied with this marriage, considering that her daughter is nineteen years old this year, she doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the result was not bad, and the teenager seemed to be quite satisfied with her daughter.

"It's a pity that it's three years late, and I told a lot of gossip to idlers for no reason......

Xiang thought secretly.

At this moment, Le Yan was too ashamed to hear anything, and when she heard Meng Zhong say the words "It's all up to Patriarch Le and Auntie", she felt that her heartbeat drowned out all the voices around her, even if her mother praised Meng Zhong's words later, she could hear it intermittently.

When she calmed down and secretly raised her head again, she was shocked to find that only her and the boy standing opposite were left in the room.

"Uh...... My aunt said, let me talk to you, get to know each other, and then we will go to the ancestral house together. ”

Seeing the panicked and confused expression on Le Yan's face, Meng Zhong explained with a sneering face.

Hearing this, Le Yan, who had finally calmed down, once again appeared a thick crimson color on her face, which looked quite attractive.
