Chapter 186: The Bridge Family's Marriage Contract
Moreover, it can be seen that there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Ma Zongheng at present, although most of them are prisoners, but if Ma Zongheng does not hesitate to spend troops to attack Puyang, Puyang may be difficult to hold. Even if this matter comes out in the future, it will be their bridge family that buys the murder first.
Although Ma Zongheng had just been accepted by Liu Dai, he did not necessarily dare to attack Puyang. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens, and now the safety of Dongjun has to rely on Ma Zongheng, and the Qiao family really can't afford to offend!
Qiao Mao's mind was spinning, and she couldn't help but sigh again. At this time, someone suddenly came to report that Ma Zongheng and a few soldiers under his command had entered the city and were rushing to the county office. When Qiao Mao heard this, his face couldn't help but tighten, and he said in surprise: "This horse was ambushed and killed last night, and today he dares to bring only a few people into the city, don't you know!?" ”
Qiao Xuanbai frowned, raised his hand and said, "Hey! This son is brave and wise, and he can hide from the woman's tricks. ”
At this time, Qiao Mao's face suddenly turned cold, two fierce lights suddenly shot out of his eyes, and he said coldly in a low voice: "Or, if you don't do two things endlessly, you will take advantage of this to get rid of him in order to prevent future trouble!?" ”
"Foolishness! You don't look at the generals such as Zhang Liao and Pang De, all of whom have invincible bravery, but they are loyal to him, and in less than half a year, they can support tens of thousands of soldiers. Not to mention whether you can kill him, but if you really kill him, his subordinates will rebel and commit it on a large scale, and Puyang will be in danger!! When Qiao Xuan heard this, he scolded angrily, Qiao Mao's face changed, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he shouldn't have given Ma Zongheng, the tiger, a chance to turn over, but now he is asking for hardship!
"Eh, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. After all, Dongjun is the root of my bridge family, this horse vertical and horizontal in addition to both courage and strategy, more courage and knowledge, under the command of the fierce generals like clouds, troubled times together, will be like the dragon's water, such as a tiger from the clouds! Now, in order to appease this tiger, the only way to do it is to marry. In this way, I will be able to prosper in the future! "Qiao Xuan, who resigned and returned to his hometown in his early years, was already disheartened by the court, but now he is focusing on the family. For this reason, he was willing to sacrifice his daughter, who was regarded as the pearl of his palm.
Qiao Xuan knows very well that his two daughters are the key to the continued prosperity of the entire Qiao family in this troubled era. In addition, Ma Zongheng is now gradually gaining momentum, but after all, he is still burdened with the name of killing Zhongliang, and he has also offended Dong Zhuo, who is in power. If he was not forced to do so, how could he be willing to rush to marry his daughter to him!
When Qiao Mao heard this, he was grateful, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Qiao Xuan: "Brother Clan, Mao must remember this kindness!" ”
It is said that Ma Zongheng and a few people came to the county office, but when they learned that Qiao Mao was not there and was about to transfer to his house, someone suddenly came to pass the word, saying that Qiao Xuan had invited him to his house for a talk. Ma Zongheng listened, and guessed that this Qiao Mao should have known what Qi had done, and he was too timid to ask for his guilt, so he didn't dare to meet him, and invited this Qiao Xuan to be a lobbyist. So, Ma Zongheng taught the soldiers to meet Pang De who inquired about Li Dian's news, and he followed the man to Qiao Xuan's mansion.
When he was young, Ma Zongheng came to Qiaoxuan's mansion, Qiaoxuan's mansion is not big, but it is elegantly repaired, antique, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and there is a lotus pond in the yard, which is quite quiet.
Ma Zongheng was not in a hurry, he admired all the way, walked through the corridor, and came to the hall, seeing that Qiao Xuan had been waiting for a long time, seeing Ma Zongheng, he also seemed to be unhurried, stretched out his hand to signal Ma Zongheng to sit down, and waited for the little girl to serve tea, and after retreating, he smiled and said: "I don't know what the eldest daughter of the old man thinks is under his knees?" ”
Qiao Xuan was also straight to the point, Ma Zongheng was drinking tea, and he didn't expect Qiao Xuan to suddenly ask like this, his eyes widened, and he almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, and after swallowing it in a hurry, he couldn't care about the burning of his mouth, and he stammered a little urgently: "Miss Qiaoda, every day is beautiful and beautiful~!" ”
At this time, the Qiao sisters, who were watching in the back hall, looked at Ma Zongheng's funny appearance. is still red, but today she is wearing a corset brocade robe, and her more heroic sister can't help but laugh, scared the sister in a blue and white flower skirt next to her, her gentle and beautiful face can't help but change, and she is busy covering her sister's mouth with her jade onion-like palm.
Qiao Xuan frowned slightly, and knew that his two daughters must be eavesdropping behind him again, so he let it go, and said: "It's not that the old man is complacent, but the two daughters under his knees are indeed overwhelmed." Eh, if they were in a peaceful and prosperous era, they would be the concubines favored by the emperors and princes in every way. But now that she has become a Gone with the Wind, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a good home.
The old man also said last night that my two daughters are very high-minded, ordinary people, and they don't look down on them at all. The eldest daughter has always respected the heroic and mighty heroes, and she was famous all over the world when she was young, and she was more brave than when she was young, compared to Xiang Yu when she was young, she did not let it go, and her future achievements were even more immeasurable. When the old man returned home last night, he also asked his eldest daughter if it was not to her liking. She was ashamed to answer, and the old man thought to himself, he was also happy with Zongheng. Qiao Xuan said with a smile, with a smile on his face, looking at Ma Zongheng's eyes, there was also a slight change.
Ma Zongheng couldn't help but feel his heart 'chuckle', only to feel that his character exploded, it can be seen that he has always been, from Wang Yi and Beigong Feng at the beginning, to Wang Ying, Liu Xueyu and other women, every marriage is not easy to come by, and it can even be said that there are many tribulations. Now, Wang Ying and Liu Xueyu have cut off the news, although Ma Zongheng is not concerned on the surface on weekdays, but in fact, he is worried in his heart. And because it was Liu Xueyu, he repeatedly sent people to Luoyang to investigate, but he couldn't find any news about the stunning princess, Wang He and Zhang Kun moved their families earlier, and they don't know where they went!
Just when Ma Zongheng lost his mind for a while. In the back hall, the sister of the Qiao family, staring at those beautiful big eyes, said a little angrily: "Wow, my sister said last night that she couldn't look down on this Ma Xi, but it turned out to be love at first sight, you dare to hide it from me!" ”
After saying that, the sister of the bridge family stretched out her claws and grabbed the sister of the bridge family viciously. The sister of the Qiao family is most afraid of itching, but she is afraid of disturbing the two people in the hall, so she can only bite her lip and endure it, and her crystal white face is red, and there seems to be water waves in her eyes, begging for mercy from the sister of the Qiao family. I saw this pitiful eyes, even the woman couldn't help but worry when she saw it, and the sister of the bridge family snorted coquettishly, and then stopped.
"Sister Hugh listened to her father's nonsense. How can I like him! The sister of the bridge family was afraid that her sister would be angry, so she blushed and retorted, but that expression was unbelievable, and it was extremely tempting, so that her sister couldn't help but jump in her heart.
"Oh, my good sister, you're really fascinated by this face. Hmph, cheap that stinky guy! The eccentric sister of the bridge family suddenly gently pinched her sister's jade-like chin, and actually teased. But seeing that the two sisters are delicate and ashamed, I am afraid that even if the stone man sees it, he will fall in love with the two of them.
At this time, Ma Zongheng, who came back to his senses, also reacted, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Xi is really flattered to be favored by Miss Qiao, and Sansheng is lucky!" ”
"Haha, good, good! The old man also admires Zongheng very much. However, the eldest daughter is now only fifteen years old, and the old husband loves her sisters very much, and he does not want her to marry too early. If Zongheng doesn't dislike it, it is better for the old man to make a marriage contract with you first, and a year later, when the eldest daughter is over 16, he will let the two of you get married. However, the old man has conditions. I heard that the two women you married in the past treated each other as wives, and my Qiao family is also a big family in Yanzhou, and the old man's daughter can't be this concubine. But wife, you have established yourself in the Wang family. My daughter is not easy to fight, so she treats each other as equal wives. Qiao Xuan's words were fierce, and a series of words, like a series of cannonballs, couldn't react to it for a while.
"Heaven, earth! Lao Tzu, didn't he rob Sun Ce's daughter-in-law! ”
Ma Zongheng's thoughts flashed, and he couldn't help but get excited, the so-called nature of the country is easy to change, the beauty is current, or the peerless beauty, if you refuse, it is really intolerable!
Qiao Xuan thought that Ma Zongheng was stunned by this great news, and he was also satisfied, and suddenly his expression changed and he shouted, "Okay!" Wan'er, Ying'er, why don't you two come out to meet someone soon? ”
When Ma Zongheng heard this, he immediately looked shocked, but saw the beautiful and moving Qiao sisters from the back hall walking out one after another, one gentle and shy, the other heroic and delicate, just like a goddess in the sky, beautiful. The two of them appeared together, with quite similar faces, and the whole picture was sublimated wonderfully, at that moment, whether it was the beauty of the sister or the younger sister, they were even more amazing, standing together, I am afraid that even Liu Xueyu, who has the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, is a little inferior.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!" At this time, even Ma Zongheng, who was accustomed to seeing stunning beauties, couldn't help but sigh in surprise, no wonder there was another record in ancient history, saying that Cao Cao had seen the Qiao sisters back then, and he couldn't forget it.
Of course, whether this is true or not, Ma Zongheng doesn't know, but after seeing the beauty of the two sisters, Ma Zongheng does have the urge to snatch the two girls at any cost.
Ma Zongheng lost his voice and exclaimed, but it made his sister Qiao Wan even more shy, busy with her head, not daring to meet Ma Zongheng's naked gaze, but it was even more seductive, making people's hearts like a deer.
"Humph! The Prodigal Son! "Sister Qiao Ying is not afraid, slightly staring at the beautiful eyes, coquettish, delicate with a bit of heroism, plus that peerless beauty, if it is an ordinary person, how dare there be blasphemy, but if it is a talented son of heaven like Ma Zongheng, it will make him have a strong desire to conquer this woman.
"Hey! Ying'er, he is your future brother-in-law, don't be presumptuous! Qiao Xuan saw it, with a look on his face, and said sternly.
"Dad~! Isn't my sister still married! And this man hasn't agreed to the marriage contract yet! Qiao Ying was first coquettish, and then glared at Ma Zongheng angrily.
When Qiao Ying said this, Qiao Wan felt even more ashamed, and hurriedly pulled Qiao Ying over, her face full of shyness. Seeing that Ma Zongheng seemed to be afraid that Qiao Xuan would regret it, he subconsciously said urgently: "It seems that Miss Qiao is such a beautiful woman, Xi is fortunate to be able to marry her, how can he not be unwilling?" Qiao Lao rest assured, if Xi can marry Miss Qiao, he will be treated well, respect each other like guests, and never dare to live up to it in the slightest! ”
"Haha, good, good! In this way, Zongheng can be regarded as half of my bridge family, and I hope that Zongheng will treat my bridge family more well in the future. Qiao Xuanfu laughed, and said meaningfully in his words.
Ma Zongheng's heart was shocked, but he heard what Qiao Xuan meant, but he didn't expect Qiao Xuan to marry his daughter to him in order to calm down last night's incident. Of course, Ma Zongheng also saw that Qiao Xuan was not willing, otherwise he would not have postponed the marriage to a year later.
