"How can students see their parents and family when they go home this time?" Although Sun Mengjie is not from a scholarly family, but after all, the Han people are different from the nomads, and they will be somewhat constrained by the etiquette law, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the Cheng Zhu etiquette law gradually prevailed in the country, and in the Chongzhen period, it was almost deep-rooted.

"That's the best, your father has no reason to refuse," Li Zicheng touched Sun Yujie's lower abdomen, but it didn't bulge, "Jie'er, is this true?" ”

"The student can't be sure," Sun Mengjie sighed slowly, "It's just that the student's menstrual affair this month has not appeared normally, so it's ......"

"Jie'er," Li Zicheng picked up Sun Mengjie's smooth and soft face, "That's it, tomorrow I will let the soldiers send you home, and your brother will also go back, tell your mother first, and the day after tomorrow, I will send someone to propose marriage!" ”

"Hmm!" Sun Mengjie nodded vigorously, in this situation, the best way is to marry into the Li family as soon as possible, but she raised her head and said, "Sir, what about my brother ......"

"Hehe," Li Zicheng smiled secretly, and used Sun Lin's matter as a shield again, "Jie'er, don't worry, when I go to your house, by the way, I also ask Li for your brother, your brother has a serious job, and your father and mother will soon come to Xining City, with these conditions, plus your brother and Li Dan are in love, her father and mother have no reason to disagree," paused, and said: "If Li Dan's father and mother disagree, I will let your brother secretly take Li Dan down, make raw rice and cook mature rice, and see what her father and mother have to say!" ”

Sun Mengjie rolled her eyes again, "Do you think my brother is like you?" "But the heart is sweet, if Sun Lin's family affairs can be resolved, it is better to go back and explain to his mother, even when his mother talks to his father, there is enough reason.

………………………………………………

Although the snow has stopped for a few days, the snow has not yet melted, the ground is still covered with thick snow, the weather is so cold that people shiver, almost dripping into ice, the cold wind seems to be sending off the travelers, a burst of tightness, Li Zicheng is wearing a thick fur hat, and he still feels that the cold is pressing.

Together with Sun Lin, eleven students boarded two carriages and slowly left the official office, escorting eight soldiers, Li Zicheng was worried that these soldiers had bad intentions, the students were all at the age of budding, and there was Sun Mengjie inside, and he specially arranged two personal soldiers to accompany him.

Sun Mengjie lifted the curtain, poked out half of her head from the carriage, her fair face was a little anxious, leaving the official office, her heart was empty, as if her bones had been removed, and she couldn't lift a trace of spirit, she deliberately chose to lean on the position of the carriage, so that it would be a little more stable, she didn't know why she felt this way, until Li Zicheng waved her hand and made a "eight" gesture, her heart felt better, she knew that it was the agreement between her husband and her: on the 28th, someone would propose to her father and mother.

Slowly lowering the curtain, Sun Mengjie still kept looking back, but the sturdy car board had already blocked her vision, and she wanted to lift the curtain, but she was afraid that the students who accompanied her would laugh, her eyes blinked a few times, pretending to be sleepy, leaning on the carriage and closing her eyes to recuperate, but she was silently thinking about her thoughts.

Li Zicheng waited for the carriage to go far away, and then returned to Houya's house, and said to Song Yulian: "Lian'er, I want to invite some guests today, you go to Zhang Luo for a table!" ”

Song Yulian's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "It's rare for adults to have a banquet at home, who are you inviting today?" How many people are there? The maid should make arrangements early! ”

"The number of people, there are five or six, all of them are acquaintances in Xining, you don't have to worry too much," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "What dishes do you need, you can calculate them first, and then let Erxi go to the barracks to get them." ”

"Yes, sir!" Song Yulian went to be busy.

Li Zicheng also went to the study of the central government, and saw that He Mi had already soaked in fragrant tea, so he ordered: "Xiaomi, you go to Mu Mansion and tell Mu Dongzhu that I will invite him to dinner and let him bring two friends who have a good amount of wine." ”

"My lord, which Mu family?"

"In addition to Mu Qingshan, there is also the Mu family?" Li Zicheng scolded with a smile and said, "Remember, when you come back, bring back a few pots of good distilled spirit." ”

"Yes, sir." He Xiaomi shrank his neck, pushed open the door and rushed into the cold wind.

Li Zicheng called another personal soldier Xiao Qi officer, Lei Wanjun, and said: "You go to the government office, invite Lord Liang over for lunch, and tell Lord Liang to come over early, I have something to discuss with him!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Li Zicheng picked up the fragrant tea, sipped it gently, and picked up the messages sent back from all over the place, and looked at them carefully, most of them were non-nutritious topics, only Qin Danian's message deeply attracted him.

Qin Danian said in the message that in the upper reaches of the Datong River, there was a Mongol tribe called Mailigan, which had expanded to Banshan, and once it crossed Dabanshan, it would pose a threat to Beichuan and Shatangchuan.

His soldiers were too few in number, and they were all infantry, so there was no conflict with Meligan for the time being, and according to the nearby herdsmen, Meligan's cavalry was no less than a hundred, and the origin of Maligan's cadres is not clear for the time being.

It's a Mongolian again, Li Zicheng fell into contemplation, Mai Li cadres occupy the Datong River, that is, to separate Xining from the Daming military town in the north, don't worry about Ganzhou in the north for the time being, but Mai Li cadres are located in the north of Xining, with the belligerent nature of the Mongolian cavalry, sooner or later it will threaten Beichuan County and Weiyuan County, which have just been established, so that the people who cultivate will not be at peace.

He drew out the map of the army, in the south of the Datong River, east of Dabanshan, and north of Ledu County (Nianbobao), there is indeed a place called "Dacaotan", as the name suggests, there is water and grass here, and it should be a paradise for nomadic people.

Is this Mai Li Gan to keep to resist Ganzhou in the north, or is it to be destroyed to ensure the safety of Beichuan and Weiyuan counties? How many cavalry did Melgain have? With Xining's current strength, can you eliminate the Maili cadres? In the event of a war, which Mongol tribes will be involved?

It's a pity that most of Wang Anping's rangers have been sent to Shaanxi to find Tang Ruowang, otherwise, some of the rangers can be sent to explore Mai Ligan's old bottom.

Li Zicheng was still entangled, but Lei Wanjun pushed open the door and reported: "My lord, Lord Liang is here!" ”

"Lord Liang? Please! Li Zicheng temporarily put aside what Mai Li did, this matter has not burned his eyebrows for the time being, and he can't ruin his plan because of his business.

Li Zicheng had just packed up the marching map, and Liang Wencheng had already entered the study, "Zicheng, what's the matter with me on such a cold day?" Not just for a bar? ”

"Sin, sin," Li Zicheng got up, greeted Liang Wencheng to take a seat, and asked Lei Wanjun to hurry up to make a cup of hot tea, Fang said: "Wencheng, you, the prefect of Xining, won't you have to go out of the city on a snowy day, right?" Please come here, not only for drinking, but also for one more thing, which needs to bother you to run. ”

"How dare I not receive my own orders?" Liang Wencheng picked up the hot tea and warmed his hands first, "However, on such a cold day, don't you want me to go out of the city to do anything?" ”

"Haha, the main thing is to drink," Li Zicheng smiled, "Wencheng has been busy with farming, I'm afraid I don't know, I recently brewed a kind of liquor, I'm sure you've never seen it, and it will taste different." ”

"Zicheng, you don't have to buy me, you know that I'm in a hurry, let's talk about things first," Liang Wencheng laughed, "Do things first, and drink safely." ”

Li Zicheng had no choice but to briefly explain the matter of Sun Lin's brothers and sisters, "Wencheng, such a wind and snow make you run dozens of miles, it is really a last resort, Zicheng thanked you first." ”

"Zicheng, why is it so urgent? After the new yuan, Sun Mengjie can't run away! ”

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but ......" Li Zicheng squeaked, and it was hard to say clearly, so he had to smile awkwardly and pass by.

"Haha, it turned out that Zicheng was 'the first to get the moon near the water'," Liang Wencheng laughed, "To be honest, Zicheng, when you opened a girls' school, did you already plan to 'choose a concubine'?" ”

"Where, Sun Mengjie is something I have known for a long time, in fact, these female students are all recruited by her," Li Zicheng said vaguely, "Actually, Li Dan, the best among the students, will be Sun Lin's person sooner or later, so I will have such a mind?" ”

"Sun Lin is your brother-in-law, anyway, you are a family," Liang Wencheng sneered for a moment before asking, "Have you prepared a dowry gift?" ”

"Ready, five sheep, one cow, plus fifty taels of silver and four pieces of cloth," Li Zicheng glanced at Liang Wencheng and said, "Wencheng take a look, is it appropriate?" ”

"These dowry gifts are enough to marry two women, and when the time comes, I, a big matchmaker, will also have face," Liang Wencheng thought for a while, and said: "Zicheng, do you want to marry a wife or a concubine?" ”

"Marry a concubine, I have already married a wife, although my whereabouts are unknown, I am still a wife for the time being, and I can't be sloppy."

Liang Wencheng said in his heart, Zicheng is still a nostalgic person, "Did Zicheng send someone to find it?" ”

"This, let's wait for the new yuan to pass!" Li Zicheng also has the intention of looking for Gao Guiying, the Gao family is not only a relative, but also a life-saving benefactor, Gao Guiying married herself when she was the most depressed, and even the new house is from the Gao family.

But he also has some concerns, with his current situation, Xining is surrounded by strong enemies, once the imperial court finds out about the changes in Xining, send a large army to attack, with his own army of less than 2,000 people, want to defeat the army of Chaotian, stabilize Xining, it is basically impossible, rather than let Gui Ying follow the fear, and temporarily stay in Gao Yingxiang's place, Gao Yingxiang is the character of Cao Kou, once the enemy can not resist the official army, he will definitely run away early, Gui Ying is a woman, and she should not lose a man when she escapes.

Liang Wencheng nodded slightly, and changed the topic: "Today's wine is a thank you coal wine, although I drank it, I don't owe favors!" ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I don't owe favors, even if I let go of drinking, the wine is enough." ”

After a while, Mu Qingshan also arrived early and brought two business friends, one named Mao Xiang and the other Yao Ciping, both of whom are good players in the wine world.
