96 Forced marriage

When the cavalry arrived at the city gate, the Yellow Turban army attacking the city gate heard that Lei Leopard had been killed, and many soldiers in the camp had already begun to flee, and they no longer dared to stay under the city, and dispersed like a tide. The officers and soldiers in the city shouted happily when they saw the Yellow Turban Army retreating, and at this time they were no longer able to pursue, supporting each other, and watching their former comrades fall to the ground with tears in their eyes.

Li Zhen rode to the city gate, and saw Pei Yuanshao sitting on the ground at the gate gasping for breath, his body was full of wounds, and his robe had been stained red with blood.

Pei Yuanshao saw Li Zhen helping him up with his own hands, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Master, I have lived up to your sustenance, and the young ladies are all safe and sound." ”

Li Zhen hurriedly helped him up and said, "I know, don't move, what kind of etiquette are you doing if you are injured, be careful of the wound, Yuan Shao!" You've worked hard all these years. ”

Pei Yuanshao looked at Li Zhen with tears in his eyes, and when he heard this, he felt that the past few years had been worth it, and said excitedly: "I haven't actually done anything in the past few years?" It's the master who really works hard, the master kills the enemy on the battlefield, but I can't help, I feel guilty! ”

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you are well, we will fight side by side together, but you have to take good care of your injuries and recuperate your body first." Li Zhen turned around and said a few words to the guards, and when he saw the two guards coming with stretchers, Li Zhen put Pei Yuanshao on the stretcher, patted his hand and said, "You can recuperate with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me to deal with." ”

asked Pei Yuanshao to be sent back to his residence, Li Zhen saw that most of the officers and soldiers in the city were seriously wounded, and ordered to clean up only the battlefield, give up the pursuit of the Yellow Turban soldiers, arrange the men and horses to defend the city, and let Dian Wei take the cavalry to patrol the streets, and behead those who took the opportunity to make trouble on the spot. After arranging everything, Li Zhen took the guards to the Zhen Mansion on horseback.

A red light was hung in front of Zhen's mansion, Zhen Yi was standing at the door in a new suit, and when he saw Li Zhen coming on horseback, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Zhen Yi saluted and said, "Meet the general." ”

Li Zhen dismounted and hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Uncle, why be polite, you and I don't have to be like this." ”

"How can this work, you are now a dignified general, the old man is just a civilian, how can you not give a big gift when you see the general." Zhen Yi said.

Li Zhen looked at Zhen Yi's gaze, thinking that Zhen Yi was afraid that he had become an official now and forgot his true nature, and said with a smile: "Uncle is like this, I'm afraid that I won't dare to enter this door, you still call me by my name as before." ”

Zhen Yi saw that Li Zhen didn't look like him, thinking that his vision was not wrong, and after going out for a few years, his temperament still hadn't changed, and said with a smile: "This is not good." ”

"You and I still need to be polite." Li Zhen said.

"Yes, yes, nephew, please come into the house and talk." Zhen Yi said with a smile.

Li Zhen entered the Zhen Mansion and saw that the environment inside had not changed at all, and when the two arrived in the hall, Zhen Yi said: "Thank you for the timely rescue of the virtuous nephew this time!" Otherwise, the old man will leave his hometown at this age. ”

"Uncle didn't suffer any damage to his family this time." Li Zhen asked.

"Well, it's fine." Zhen Yi said, "How long is the virtuous nephew going to stay in Zhongshan this time?" ”

"I rushed here after receiving the rescue letter, and now the imperial court has ordered me to rush to Guangzong as soon as possible to meet General Lu Zhi, I'm afraid that I won't have much time here."

"Oh, that's right." Zhen Yi said, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing Zhen Yi's embarrassed look, Li Zhen said loudly: "Uncle has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

Zhen Yi hesitated and said, "Alas! Virtuous nephew! You see you're not too young, isn't it time to get things done? ”

Li Zhen was confused when he heard it, what should I do? Puzzled, he said, "Uncle, what should I do?" ”

Zhen Yi said angrily: "What do you say you are doing? In the past few years since you left, my daughter has been thinking about you every day, just waiting for you to come back, waiting for a few years, all the good youth has been wasted, hum, you said that it is time to marry a wife. ”

Li Zhen heard this, he encountered such a thing when he first arrived in Zhen's mansion, but he did feel a little guilty after making the Zhen sisters wait for him for all these years, and it was time to make a promise, but they still know more or less about their sisters' thoughts, if they only marry one of them, it will be unfair to the others, but if they marry all of them, they can't open their mouths to Zhen Yi, thinking that they still have a fiancΓ©e Cai Yan waiting for them in Luoyang, and said implicitly: "Uncle, I will go to Guangzong for a few days of rest, how can I have time to marry a wife now." ”

"Hmph, you are an excuse, I ask you if you are willing to marry my daughter." Zhen Yi didn't plan to let go of Li Zhen so easily, now he finally waited for Li Zhen to arrive, he had to ask him for clarification today, and then he didn't know that he would not be able to go to Zhongshan until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, so his daughters didn't have to wait a few more years.

Li Zhenkao didn't think about it and said, "Of course I do." ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, according to our original agreement, you choose one you like to marry as a wife, which daughter do you like me, and you will do the happy event tonight." Zhen Yi said solemnly.

"Ahh Li Zhen listened to the great urgency, he had heard that there were men who forced him to marry his wife, but he didn't expect that he was forced to marry by a woman.

"Ah, what, you have to say something, which daughter do you like me, I have to prepare." Zhen Yi said urgently.

Li Zhen was embarrassed and said: "This ・・・・・・, is my uncle a little hasty, or wait for me to come to Zhongshan next time." ”

"No, just do it today, you just have to be your groom, and I will arrange the rest." Zhen Yi said firmly.

Li Zhen never thought that he would encounter such a thing, he knew that he had sent Zhang Fei, but now he doesn't know how to deal with it, if it was just one of himself, he would agree immediately, but the Zhen family is five sisters are waiting for him, and he can't let them down.

Seeing Li Zhen's embarrassed appearance, Zhen Yi said bitterly: "Virtuous nephew! I also know that things are a little sudden, but my five daughters have been waiting for a few years because of you, if you marry one of them today, I will find a good home for the other daughters in the future, and I can't delay them, you don't know, all the people who have come to my house to ask for marriage have broken through the threshold over the years, but none of them agreed, alas! This will have to wait for them to become old girls, how will they marry in the future. ”

Li Zhen has known for many years in the Han Dynasty that people who married and married wives in this era are very early, some can be fathers and mothers at the age of twelve or thirteen, and the sisters of the Zhen family are now almost twenty, and it is normal to be unmarried at the age of twenty now, but in ancient times, twenty years old has not yet been married, which is equivalent to an old girl making people see jokes.

Li Zhen thought that the sisters had waited for him for a few years, and he was sorry for not making a decision again, and he had betrayed this love, so he said cheekily: "This, can I marry them all?" ”
