Chapter 368: Life Events
Mao Wenlong stayed in Yunzhou Mansion for more than ten days, and after determining that there was no problem with the three warships that were launched, he handed over the follow-up matters to the three brothers of the Lijia family to take care of. He fought with Hong Chengchou and rushed back to Xi'an.
Chen Jisheng and they have safely evacuated Tatar, although they have a small fight with Huang Taiji, they have not seen defeat, it can be said that Chen Jisheng and their task has been completed. Knowing that there are still 20,000 elite soldiers led by Chen Jisheng, Mao Wenlong is very happy.
"Chen Jisheng, this kid didn't disappoint me, haha......" Mao Wenlong laughed in the carriage.
"If Chen Jisheng didn't make a false report, then he did a good job." Although Hong Chengchou couldn't get used to Mao Wenlong's smug appearance at the moment, he had to admit that Chen Jisheng did a good job this time.
"False Reporting...... Forgive Chen Jisheng, that kid is still so daring! The smugness on Mao Wenlong's face was slightly restrained, and when Hong Chengchou said this, he began to feel a little uncertain in his heart.
Hong Chengchou could naturally see that Mao Wenlong's heart was weak, but he didn't continue to fight, but closed his eyes and began to rest.
It took half a month to rush from Yunzhou Mansion to Xi'an, and Mao Wenlong was very angry about this.
According to this calculation, if he is lucky to dominate the world in the future, if he wants to inspect his country at that time, he may not be able to finish it for the rest of his life.
Thinking about the convenient transportation in the later generations, as well as the communication covering the entire earth, he was suddenly very helpless.
Obviously, it is impossible to do what the Hereafter did, but it is not possible to do nothing. Mao Wenlong felt that it was necessary to do something, at least to solve the traffic problem.
At present, the only fastest and most convenient means of transportation is the hot air balloon, which is also the only means of transportation that Mao Wenlong can think of at present.
When he went back to Xi'an this time, Mao Wenlong had another task, that is, he promised Hong Chengchou that he would marry Hong Ziyan.
When Mao Wenlong's mighty team arrived outside Xi'an, there were a lot of people who greeted them. The generals in the army, as well as many officials who serve here, in addition to these people, there are also Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan.
"Why are you here, it's too cold here and you hurt yourself!" Mao Wenlong thoughtfully took off his coat and put it on for Chen Lan.
Hong Ziyan's face on the side immediately became embarrassed, but before she could say anything, she saw Mao Wenlong suddenly turn around and take another coat from the carriage, and then put it on Hong Ziyan with a smile on her face full of surprise.
"I'll have something to tell you when I get back to the house." Mao Wenlong whispered in Hong Ziyan's ear by the way.
Hong Ziyan was slightly stunned, and was about to ask what was going on, but saw that Mao Wenlong had already turned around and left.
"Why, now even I'm an old fellow, have I forgotten?" Hong Chengchou suddenly came to Hong Ziyan in a daze, and then complained dissatisfiedly.
"Daddy......" Hong Ziyan naturally understood what her father meant, and even made a big red face.
Mao Wenlong helped Chen Lan get into the carriage first, and then asked Haoda to drive back all the people who came to greet him. It's so troublesome every time, Mao Wenlong doesn't want to be tired along the way, and the first thing he has to do after coming back is to be shabby with such a group of people, so boring.
Throwing everyone aside and letting Haoda deal with it, Mao Wenlong let Hong Ziyan and Hong Chengchou get into the carriage and went straight back to Mao's mansion.
The four of them sat down in the small hall in the backyard, and everyone knew that Mao Wenlong was about to have something to announce, so they all waited quietly.
Hong Chengchou, the old guy, sat on the side with a smile and didn't say a word, while Hong Ziyan kept guessing what Mao Wenlong was going to announce, and he was still a little apprehensive when he was so serious.
Chen Lan looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Mao Wenlong coughed lightly, and then said, "On the way back, I have already discussed with Lord Hong to marry Zi Yan one day." ”
Mao Wenlong announced it directly, and then sat down, no more words, but his eyes kept paying attention to Chen Lan's changes. However, to Mao Wenlong's disappointment, Chen Lan has always behaved calmly.
Hong Ziyan was already in a state of stupidity, Mao Wenlong suddenly announced such a thing, but he was not mentally prepared in advance.
Hong Chengchou looked at his daughter's shocked look, shook his head with a wry smile and asked Hong Ziyan: "Daughter, do you agree or not!" ”
Hong Ziyan suddenly came back to her senses at this time, and she blushed and said, "I...... I do. ”
After speaking, Hong Ziyan suddenly got up, then hid her face and fled the small hall.
Hong Chengchou chuckled at this time: "Then the matter will be entrusted to you." ”
Looking at Hong Chengchou's smile like a spring breeze, Mao Wenlong didn't want to do anything, and replied with a serious face: "Don't worry, Xiao Xu will not disappoint my father-in-law." ”
Hong Chengchou did not refuse Mao Wenlong's title at all, but accepted it very calmly. He got up and threw his fist at Mao Wenlong, and then left on his own.
There were only Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan left in the small hall, the two were relatively speechless, and the atmosphere was a little dull, Mao Wenlong didn't like this feeling. He was the first to speak to break the silence: "Xiaolan, do you have anything to say?" ”
Chen Lan glanced at Mao Wenlong, and suddenly chuckled and said, "Okay, Xianggong, I will handle your marriage with Ziyan's sister." ”
Hearing Chen Lan's words, Mao Wenlong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there is Lao Niangzi!" ”
Solemnly gave a big gift to Chen Lan, Mao Wenlong left to wash up satisfied, and he couldn't take a comfortable bubble bath for several days after sleeping in the open on the way.
Chen Lan looked at Mao Wenlong's departing back, her eyes were full of smiles, in fact, she didn't care about Mao Wenlong marrying Hong Ziyan again. After all, the two have been sisters for a long time, not to mention that Chen Lan was prepared in his heart from the beginning, knowing that Mao Wenlong would inevitably marry Hong Ziyan.
The wedding date of Mao Wenlong and Hong Ziyan was quickly chosen, and it was set for the fifth day of the next month. There are still about forty days left until now, Mao Wenlong calculated the days, and Chen Jisheng and they should also rush back by then, and they will not miss his marriage.
There is nothing wrong with it, Mao Wenlong even made a decision. I don't know who spread the news, but within a few days, officials and generals in Henan and Shaanxi, including some large businessmen operating in Henan, sent congratulatory gifts one after another.
For a time, Shaanxi and Henan were full of joy, talking about Mao Wenlong's marriage. However, the war continued on the Shanxi side, and Lu Xiangsheng led an army of more than 100,000 to begin a comprehensive counterattack on Li Zicheng's rebel army, so that Li Zicheng's rebel army had no power to fight back.
