Chapter 391: Pei Xiaoniang's maiden family

After nearly a year, standing in front of Pei's house' door, Pei Xiaoniang's heart has a complicated feeling, last year's home, once gave her a warm and safe home, but now it is suddenly mixed with a trace of peculiar smell, the scene and everything is still very familiar, and it is also very kind in her eyes, but her heart is inexplicably a feeling of returning to her mother's home, she suddenly realized that this home no longer belongs to her, she has left the nest.

"Cowardice?" Li Huaitang stood beside Pei Xiaoniang and looked at her with a smile.

"I, Li Lang," Pei Xiaoniang met Li Huaitang's gaze, at this moment, Yiren's sense of belonging has never been so strong, Li Huaitang has become her safe harbor, giving her a calm, comfortable and warm berth.

Li Huaitang read the tenderness in Pei Xiaoniang's eyes, and couldn't help but give his broad 'chest' to the cute little girl.

The big 'door' of Pei's Mansion was knocked open, and the head of an old man appeared in the narrow 'door' crack.

"Who are you looking for? Yes! It's Xiao Niang, Xiao Niang is back, Xiao Niang is back! "With a shout of surprise, the big 'door' opened the welcoming embrace.

The news of Pei Xiaoniang's return to the house soon spread throughout the Pei Mansion, and the masters and servants of the Pei Mansion ran over when they heard the sound. The well-behaved and beautiful Pei Xiaoniang won the joy of everyone in the Pei family, and it was a pity that the princess was given to marry Tuqi Shi, and the people in the house were all sorry and mourned for her. Clinker providence has never been difficult to ask, one day rumors protruded, saying that Ruoxi Xiaoniang was rescued from Broken Leaf Town, and the person who saved her was the legendary horse bandit Li Huaitang, at first people were still sighing, thinking that Pei Xiaoniang was so pitiful, only to get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den', the fate of being captured by horse bandits felt 'hairy' terrifying, compared to marrying Prince Tuqishi. However, things are not developing according to people's wishes, with further news, gradually, Li Huaitang has become a beautiful image of an invincible hero and a lover in their minds, this person actually fought alone for Pei Xiaoniang's tragic jumping horse to chase the soldiers, and finally resisted hundreds of thousands of Qianghu troops with the power of a city and defeated it, the rumors were too crazy, no one dared to believe it, until the three Hu chiefs were dedicated to Chang'an City, overnight, all the rumors became true, even if it was exaggerated and false, they also voluntarily believed.

"Sister!" The first to appear was Pei Qing and Ruoxi's brother.

"Brother." Pei Xiaoniang choked back tears, left Li Huaitang's arms, and pounced on her brother. Thinking that they would never have the opportunity to see each other again in this life, the surprise reunion made the two brothers and sisters cry with joy.

Then came the Wu clan, who had not yet seen him, and had already heard his anxious crying.

"My poor little lady, are you really home?"

"Mother!" Pei Xiaoniang desperately threw herself into the arms of the Wu family.

The scene of the mother's and daughter's goodbye was touching, and the grief of the two touched the hearts of others, and the people couldn't help wiping their eyes and crying.

After crying for a while, the Wu family walked up to Li Huaitang and said softly: "The concubine thanked General Li on behalf of the little lady." ”

Produced by Wu's, the posture is outstanding. From Wu Meiniang, the little ladies of the Wu family are all delicate and lovely, Wu Meiniang needless to say, Gaozong brought a green hat to his father, and Wu Meiniang's sister and 'daughter' ate together, after decades, it was the turn of Concubine Wu Hui, whose beauty won the emperor's favor, and the Wu family in front of Li Huaitang was also beautiful and 'beautiful', and the born Pei Xiaoniang was even more fairy-like.

Standing in front of the Wu clan with pear 'flowers' and rain, Li Huaitang didn't dare to look more, his eyes shifted to Pei Xiaoniang's body, and replied, "Madame is polite." No one can say anything about the will of God, and I also want to say thank you, thank you for the arrangement of fate to send Ruoxi Xiaoniang to me. ”

Wu Shi was slightly stunned, and carefully looked at the person in front of him who was likely to become her son-in-law. Well, young and handsome, it seems to be very good, except for the hair. Li Huaitang's *flat head left a not-so-good impression on her.

"What are you doing here? Steward Tian, hurry up to Zhang Luo's family banquet to entertain the distinguished guests, and wash the dust for Ruoxi's little lady! Pei Qing happily instructed a group of subordinates who were also happy with the 'color'.

"Mother, General Li, let's talk about it when we go into the house, and I'll tell my father to go."

Pei Xiaoniang chuckled in her heart, and she had an ominous cold: "What's wrong with my father?" ”

"No, it's nothing, your father is in the study, and he can't hear the movement here." Wu barely smiled, and there was a hint of worry hidden between his face.

"Da Lang, go, go tell your father that Xiaoniang is home." Wu hurriedly turned to Wu Qing, and then motioned for Li Huaitang to enter the banquet living room.

The banquet room was full of boxes of gifts, and the soldiers on the general's horse kept unloading items from the carriage outside the big 'gate' and moving them in a steady stream.

"This is a meeting gift for Mrs. Pei." Sitting in the living room, Li Huaitang took out a mink fur coat and sent it to Wu's face.

Although Chang'an and Ningyuan City are thousands of miles apart, but can not stop the spread of the charm of "flower" Rong Yunshang, especially like Mrs. Pei such a noble "woman", almost no one is not affected by it, "flower" Rong Yunshang's gorgeous new style is their rush to spend a lot of money on the pursuit, "flower" Rong Yunshang production has become a symbol of luxury, fashion and taste, noble "women" and little ladies have been proud of owning.

"'Flower' Rong Yunshang!" Wu's eyes were sharp, and he found the label on the packaging of the coat.

"Yes, Mother, this is what Li Lang specially selected for you." Pei Xiaoniang behaved like a docile little rabbit, kneeling beside Wu's side, holding Wu's arm affectionately.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wu's face, and doubts then emerged: "This, does this fit?" ”

"Don't worry, Auntie, I've seen it, it's definitely fine." Pei Xiaoniang winked mischievous eyes at Li Huaitang.

Li Huaitang said with a smile: "This coat is made of high-quality materials, and it is tailoring for Mrs. Wang, and the style design also has a credit to the little lady." ”

"Really?" Wu was pleasantly surprised, looked at the little lady beside her, and was overjoyed, this robe was undoubtedly the most precious gift she received. In an instant, Li Huaitang's *flat-headed evil beard image in her heart quickly reversed, *flat-headed, at least better than the bald-headed Hu man!

On this trip, Li Huaitang not only brought a large number of goods from Ningyuan City, but also brought countless gifts of favor, in addition to the Wu family's robe, given to the head of Pei Mansion, Pei Guangting's gift was a rare pure white tiger skin, and Pei Xiaoniang's brother Pei Qing also got a precious Damascus scimitar, as for the people in the mansion all have a valuable gift.

For a time, the entire Pei Mansion fell into a sea of joy.

"General Li is so hospitable!" Holding the coveted Damascus scimitar, Pei Qingle was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. He had just brought a message that his father was coming.

Li Huaitang was modest and polite again, and winked proudly at Pei Xiaoniang, who was full of joy.

Pei Xiaoniang glared at Li Huaitang angrily, and suddenly stuck to Wu's side with a smile, and her smile was all 'revealed' with joy in her heart, her Li Lang actually 'wanted' to buy the whole house for her, if you have a lover like this, what more can a husband ask for?

A sickly cough came, condensing the smile in the banquet room. Pei Guangting appeared!

Pei Guangting's face was not very good, and he knew at a glance that he was riddled with diseases.

"Father!" Pei Xiaoniang's eyes were red, her nose was sour, and tears were gushing, and the sentimental Pei Xiaoniang threw herself into the arms of her loving father.

"Okay, the little lady has grown up, don't cry at every turn, let the guests laugh." Pei Guangting held back his tears and cough, patted Ruoxi's back lovingly, but looked at Li Huaitang on the side.

"Ning Yuan and Li Huaitang have seen Pei Xiang." Li Huaitang was a little surprised, the relationship between the two fathers and daughters seemed to be very good, he couldn't figure it out, since Pei Guangting loved Ruoxi Xiaoniang so much, why was he willing to let her marry Tuqi Shiren?

"Well," Pei Guangting was still looking at Li Huaitang, quite surprised in his heart, in his imagination, Li Huaitang should have at least passed the age of standing, but this is not the case, judging from his appearance, at most he is two years older than Pei Qing, although his face and even his body exude a calm 'color' that does not belong to his age.

However, appreciation is appreciation, there is still dissatisfaction, if it has nothing to do with him, then forget it, but this person will become the son of the Pei family, and he will inevitably be concerned: "The body is affected by his parents, why did General Li break it?" ”

Summer insects can't talk about ice. Li Huaitang didn't plan to change Pei Guangting, who had formed a complete set of ideological systems, and teased: "After many years of fighting, it is easy to breed lice when the hair grows, and the two evils are right, and life is important, so I shaved it." ”

Pei Guangting nodded, reluctantly accepting the explanation.

Li Huaitang glanced at Pei Xiaoniang and continued: "Li Huaitang came today to propose marriage to Pei Xiang, and I hope Pei Xiang agrees to marry Ruoxi Xiaoniang to me. ”

As soon as she mentioned the kiss, the audience was shocked, Pei Xiaoniang blushed and red, leaned against Wu's side with low eyebrows and lowered her face, but her ears were pricked up, waiting for her father's answer.

"Propose?" Pei Guangting was also stunned, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this Li Huaitang really doesn't know if he is a Han or a Hu person, and he doesn't know if he wants to find a matchmaker? But it doesn't matter, the object of his proposal is false.

"I heard that General Li already has a wife and concubine?" Pei Guangting was noncommittal, as if he was tentative.

Li Huaitang smiled faintly: "There are three wives and no concubines." Li Huaitang only marries wives and does not take concubines. ”

"Do you want to take a wife?" Pei Guangting and the Wu clan were confused.

Li Huaitang explained: "Although Pei Xiang can rest assured, I will never let Ruoxi Xiaoniang suffer the slightest grievance." ”

In terms of affection, I am afraid that the millions of residents of Chang'an know that between life and death, Li Huaitang resolutely chose to jump and fight for Pei Xiaoniang, and gave the only war horse to Pei Xiaoniang to escape. Regarding this matter, Pei Guangting knows more about this matter than the outside world, Pei Xiaoniang's family letter is very clear and touching, and he can also see Ruoxi Xiaoniang's admiration for Li Huaitang. Of course, he has reason to believe that Li Huaitang will love Ruoxi Xiaoniang very much.

"That's it." Pei Guangting shook his head, he didn't need to worry about this matter, if the saint agreed to this 'door' marriage, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Ruoxi Xiaoniang would not suffer anyway.

"The old man wants to hear your plans, it is not easy to survive in the Western Regions, I don't know what you think?" Pei Guangting changed the subject.

In Li Huaitang's view, Pei Guangting's question must be worried about Pei Xiaoniang's living environment, after all, no one wants to marry Xiaoniang to a person who has no strength and ability to guarantee, especially when it comes to a harsh place where there are many strong hus.

Li Huaitang sorted out his thoughts and said: "Backed by the Tang Dynasty, through the Silk Road, and gradually sinicized Zhuhu in the Western Regions." ”

"Sinicization Zhuhu?" Pei Guangting looked at Li Huaitang incredulously, and at the same time he was also curious: "How to sinicize?" ”

"In a nutshell, it's trade." Li Huaitang said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Guangting's interest increased greatly, and he forgot about the illness on his body for a while.

Li Huaitang said: "Hu people have a true portrayal. We live by plundering, we plunder our enemies, we plunder our neighbors, and when there is no one available to us, we plunder our own brothers. ”

"Poof!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Li Huaitang used the word plunder to annotate the Hu people very 'precisely'.

Ignoring the laughter of the crowd, Li Huaitang continued: "If the Hu people understand that only through 'exchange' can they get the living materials they need, and there is such a market for them to exchange for the items they want, then their habits and 'nature' will change. As long as they sell their cattle, sheep and horses, they can get tea, grain and warm clothes. ”

But what if they don't want to? Isn't looting easier and more direct than hard work? Pei Qing expressed everyone's doubts.

Li Huaitang said: "What I want to establish is an order, and what maintains this order is a strong army, and anyone who is unwilling to be included in this system, wants to get something for nothing, and even tries to destroy this order, will all be wiped out on the **." The Ironhoof Scimitar would tell them that the risk of looting was always greater than the hard work, and that the remaining Hu people would naturally know what to do, whether they were willing or forced. ”

Pei Guangting understood that the establishment of a new order could only be most thorough and effective through war. It seems that Li Huaitang is going to make a big fuss about Zhuhu, maybe Xiao Song guessed correctly, this person really wants to take Broken Leaf Town.

Sure enough, I only heard Li Huaitang continue: "If everything goes well, before this winter, Shiguo will be included in this system." Coming with me, I am also the monarch of the Shi Kingdom, Mohe Tutun, who was robbed of the throne by the deputy Khan of the Shi State, Yi Wei, in collusion with the Tuqi Shi people, and I have decided to borrow troops to help him restore the throne, hoping to get the support of the Tang Emperor before taking action. ”

Pei Guangting understands everything, why borrow soldiers, most of them want to use the righteous slogan of supporting the former monarch, and then 'mix' the Tang Dynasty's holy decree, justifiably attack Shiguo, and then annex Shiguo. Suddenly, the thought of the hero flashed through his mind.

Li Huaitang patted his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's far away." I'm here to ask to marry Ruoxi, is Pei corresponding? ”

Pei Guangting said: "I'm afraid that General Li has asked for the wrong object." Ruoxi Xiaoniang's current identity is a princess, and the general should propose to the saint. ”

Li Huaitang was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

"General Li's movements are fast, the chief of the Khitan people suddenly arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, and his purpose is also to marry a princess." Pei Guangting looked at Pei Xiaoniang who was in happiness with a trace of pity and sadness. The hateful Wu Xin, in order to fight Li Huaitang, once again pushed Ruoxi Xiaoniang to the cusp of the 'waves'......
