Chapter 63: Marriage
Liang Xingfa helped Guo Ziyi win the battle, Tang Suzong naturally wanted to reward him, and only with clear rewards and punishments could he command the three armies, and the desperate efforts of the soldiers were motivated. Although Liang Xingfa repeatedly emphasized that he did not ask for rich rewards, he was already satisfied with the emperor's verbal praise, because he knew very well that he could not be indifferent and could not be ambitious.
However, Tang Suzong insisted that he should be rewarded generously, otherwise it would cold the hearts of the soldiers, and Liang Xingfa was not allowed to shirk it.
On the day of the award, Tang Suzong summoned a large number of civil and military ministers, including Guo Ziyi, Wang Zhongsheng, Li Ruoyou, Li Guangbi, Fugu Huaien, as well as the great eunuch Yu Chaoen, and his goddaughter Zhou Lijun.
Tang Suzong first affirmed that the hard work of the ministers had made some achievements in the Tang army, and then rewarded the meritorious soldiers one by one.
When it was Liang Xingfa's turn, Tang Suzong spoke highly of him, praising him for his strong martial arts, flexible mind, and an immortal young hero, and called on everyone to take him as an example. also praised the cooperation between him and Guo Ziyi as a golden combination. Yu Chaoen is as uncomfortable as cutting meat, after all, he found the person back, and now he has become a sworn enemy. The ministers cast envious glances at him, causing him to bow his head in embarrassment.
Tang Suzong asked Liang Xingfa what he wanted, just say it.
Liang Xingfa said very modestly: "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope that Hai Boping will be peaceful." It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Tang Army, how can I ask for so many extravagant things. ”
Tang Suzong once again highly praised Liang Xingfa's indifferent fame and fortune, and once again called on everyone to learn from Liang Xingfa and see what a pure person he is. Everyone cast envious glances at Liang Xingfa again, and Liang Xingfa lowered his head embarrassedly again. Yu Chaoen has always regarded Liang Xingfa as his subordinate, and when he saw that his subordinates were more divided than his superiors, he was envious and jealous again.
Tang Suzong said to Liang Xingfa again: "Although you are so high-spirited, but all the soldiers have been rewarded, you can't be the only one, in that case, everyone will feel uneasy after taking the reward, so you must also have it." I see that you have also reached the age of a weak crown, but you are still alone, how can you be nourished without a companion. I see that you are a good match for Zhou Lijun, so I will reward her to you. You have to have a good time. ”
Zhou Lijun's face was crimson, she didn't expect the marriage event to come so suddenly, in fact, she had never considered her life's event, because Yu Chaoen always asked her to complete one difficult task after another, and she had no free time to spring at all. But she is still quite sweet in her heart, after all, Liang Xingfa is the most unique person she has ever seen, and it is impossible to have no love at all.
It's a pity that she can't be happy at all now, although it is the marriage of the supreme emperor, but what she wants to see most is the marriage of her godfather Yu Chaoen, after all, she was raised by Yu Chaoen, although she has no blood relationship with this eunuch, but she has long regarded him as her father after many years of affection.
Yu Chaoen's heart was mixed at the moment, and he didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse to give his goddaughter to Liang Xingfa. If Liang Xingfa took refuge in his sworn enemy Guo Ziyi, then he really lost his wife and soldiers. Originally, he was still counting on the emperor to give him a little reward, but who knew that not only did he let him contribute in turn, but he also paid tribute to the right-hand man he had cultivated over the years, but in the end it was still in vain.
Liang Xingfa felt very happy, one more Hongchen partner would have more happiness. Kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." "I also sigh in my heart that the emperor is really good at being a man, and doing things is quite in line with his taste.
The general Gu Huai'en was impatient, and when he saw that Zhou Lijun was still stunned, he grabbed her and said, "Don't hurry up and thank the emperor, you have to get carried away." As she spoke, she was told to kneel down. She had no choice but to do so, but her heart was always not very steady. No one has the right to refute the marriage assigned by the emperor, from now on she is Liang Xingfa's wife, as for the wedding, it can be held when the auspicious day of the zodiac is chosen.
Tang Suzong suddenly realized that Yu Chaoen had always been lonely on the side, and it seemed that he had been snubbed, so he couldn't bear it, and felt that it would be better to praise a few words. said to Yu Chaoen: "Yu Aiqing has also made great contributions, and she has found useful talents like Liang Xingfa with wisdom and wisdom. finally did the right thing for the imperial court. ”
Yu Chaoen finally received the emperor's praise, and immediately writhed happily like a carp. Just when he thought that Tang Suzong would reward him with some manpower and material resources no matter what, Tang Suzong suddenly announced that the meeting was dissolved, and everyone, except Yu Chaoen, went back satisfied.
After Yu Chaoen and Zhou Lijun returned to their residence in mourning, **** and Songshan Seven Monsters rushed over to congratulate them, they all heard about today's events, and they were discussing how to organize a wedding to be grand and lively enough.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chaoen jumped and shouted loudly, telling them not to say any more congratulations or anything like that, otherwise they would slap their mouths. made everyone look at each other, and I don't understand how a happy event can be so angry.
Yu Chaoen felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he said: "Is there still a father-in-law like me in the eyes of that stinky boy of Liang Xingfa, where is he going crazy as soon as he disperses?" ”
Tell Yu Chaoen that he just saw Liang Xingfa and Guo Ziyi holding hands and going to the inn to drink and celebrate their achievements hand in hand.
Yu Chaoen was so angry that he shook his whole body, and took furniture to vent his anger like most people, and shattered a valuable table with one palm, and then shouted: "If you have wine, you won't ask me to go, and there is no me in his eyes." You think it's great for the emperor to give him a marriage, he can't think of it without my consent, I am the head of the family, and he must be on my side. ”
The tiger monster said to Yu Chaoen, "My lord, this is your fault. Although I haven't read a book, I also know that no one can go back on the emperor's marriage, and you have to marry your daughter to our boss. ”
The chicken-headed monster also said to Yu Chaoen: "My lord, you can't just not marry your daughter in a fit of anger, you are disobeying your order like this, unless you take your life to resist." ”
The pig-headed monster also said to Yu Chaoen: "My lord, if you want to drink, you don't have to call our boss, you can take us with you, just sit next to our boss, how lively a bunch of people are, you must have a good time." ”
Yu Chaoen angrily scolded the seven monsters of Songshan for being rice buckets, and knew that they were not so hungry when they were reincarnated. As soon as you do something, your brain short-circuits.
The Seven Monsters of Songshan didn't dare to talk back to Yu Chaoen, but they kept complaining in their hearts, knowing that they came here to have a full meal, otherwise what would they do here. Liang Xingfa, the boss of the family, didn't dislike them for eating too much, if they couldn't afford to raise them, they could ask them to leave, and it would be more comfortable to follow the boss.
Yu Chaoen scolded non-stop, which made Zhou Lijun impatient, and she was also hungry, so she proposed to her godfather Yu Chaoen to go out to eat.
Yu Chaoen said that he was full of anger and was not in the mood to eat. Zhou Lijun said that if he didn't want to eat, then they would eat it themselves. Yu Chaoen has always been good to Zhou Lijun, so naturally he didn't want her to suffer from hunger, so he waved his hand and said that they would eat wherever they liked.
Zhou Lijun, ****, and the Seven Monsters of Songshan seemed to have been liberated, and they ran out together to find Liang Xingfa for a drink.
At the banquet, Liang Xingfa kept persuading everyone to drink, and Zhou Lijun didn't care about the identity of the girl, and drank with them so red-faced. When we were excited, we drank shoulder to shoulder, until sunset, and we were not drunk.
In the evening, no matter how much the banquet was not dispersed, everyone went back to their places. The men were all drunk, and Liang Xingfa was the most drunk, because he was the central figure in the celebration wine. The only one who can still walk freely is the only woman, Zhou Lijun, and she is Liang Xingfa's rightful wife, so the task of supporting Liang Xingfa to go back naturally fell on her shoulders.
After Zhou Lijun helped Liang Xingfa back to the room to rest, she wanted to leave, but when she saw Liang Xingfa's appearance covered in wine and dust, a feeling of pity arose in her heart. It's probably because this man will always have to live with her in the future anyway, so let's just help him take a bath.
The strength of a woman who learns martial arts is always like a spring, so she can make a large bucket of water in three or two clicks. Then he removed Liang Xingfa's dusty clothes from three times and five by two, carried him into the bucket with one shoulder, and then helped him scrub and wash. Liang Xingfa in the dream still felt extremely enjoyable, and the dream was also a sweet dream, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that could not be erased.
After taking a bath, Zhou Lijun helped Liang Xingfa put on clean clothes again, and then threw him back on the bed. In the end, I helped him wash his dirty clothes before leaving. It was so beautiful that he was snickering in his dreams.
Zhou Lijun suddenly wanted to go to this kind of ordinary family life, warm and happy, it was much better than fighting and killing all day long, and it was much easier to sleep in a warm harbor.
However, her vision was ruthlessly shattered at the very beginning. That night, Yu Chaoen hated and regretted asking Zhou Lijun and them to go to Liang Xingfa to drink, in case she and Liang Xingfa went to Guo Ziyi's side together, then he would be depressed.
Therefore, Yu Chaoen found Zhou Lijun and told her: "You have to prepare me psychologically." If Liang Xingfa continues to work for Guo Ziyi, you will kill him. ”
This made Zhou Lijun like five thunderbolts, she didn't want to kill Liang Xingfa, and asked Yu Chaoen weakly: "Can you see him help suppress the bandits, spare his life for the godfather you have earned, let him go." I'll just serve you. ”
Yu Chaoen said, "No. I must not let Guo Ziyi surpass me, in that case, I don't even have a place to stand, he will step on me. You girl, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You said you were serving me just to be with that kid when I died. Anyway, I'm a lot older, and I can live for a few years. ”
Zhou Lijun said with tears in her eyes: "I definitely don't mean to curse my godfather to die soon." I wish my godfather lived longer than me. ”
Yu Chaoen asked Zhou Lijun again: "Then tell me, who gave you this life?" ”
Zhou Lijun said: "Naturally, he is a godfather." Since I was a child, my parents died in the war with Tibet, and you picked me up and raised me. Your kindness is like a reconstruction, and I will never forget it. ”
Yu Chaoen asked again: "Then tell me, am I important or Liang Xingfa is important, do you listen to me or listen to him?" ”
Zhou Lijun said: "Naturally, I listen to my godfather." Yu Chaoen was quite satisfied, and asked her to kneel down and swear a poisonous oath that as long as Yu Chaoen wanted to kill Liang Xingfa, she would do her best.
The next day, Yu Chaoen asked Zhou Lijun, who had been crying all night, to call the sleepy-eyed Liang Xingfa over.
Liang Xing sent a salute to Yu Chaoen and said, "The son-in-law knocks on my father-in-law." ”
Yu Chao Enyin smiled and said, "Why do you want to add a dry word so outward?" ”
Liang Xingfa said: "After all, you are Zhou Lijun's godfather and not your own father, so there is nothing wrong with adding a dry word." ”
Yu Chaoen smiled again and said, "You can call it whatever you want." Some people say that being pregnant is like being pregnant, and people will always know it after a long time. And your chance of meritorious service is better than the chance of pregnancy, neither the hard work of pregnancy nor the long pregnancy, as soon as you come up, you will make meritorious service, let others know that you are pregnant, oh no, it is Huaicai. Sure enough, men's light is unlimited capital. ”
Liang Xingfa said to Yu Chaoen: "If you have any orders, just say it, don't say it so weirdly, it makes me so confused." ”
Yu Chaoen stopped laughing, and asked Liang Xingfa very seriously and sharply What are his plans next?
Liang Xingfa said that he planned to have a cave with Zhou Lijun to save Tang Suzong from disappointing him, but he was the matchmaker. Zhou Lijun lowered her head shyly beside her, with a happy flush on her face.
Yu Chaoen said angrily: "It's not about this, it's about what you plan to do in your career." ”
Liang Xingfa said: "Oh, this. I intend to help Marshal Guo Ziyi recover Chang'an. ”
Yu Chaoen said: "So you can't take care of me here?" ”
Liang Xingfa said: "I don't think you have anything to worry about here." You just need to serve the emperor well, and I just need to fight a good battle with Marshal Guo Ziyi. ”
Yu Chaoen said violently: "But I am very unwell physically and mentally now, and I am terminally ill, I need you to collect medicine for me." ”
Liang Xingfa asked him what kind of medicine he was going to take, was it not good to ask Lang Zhong to go, at least he was more professional than him. Yu Chaoen said: "It's not good, Zhou Lijun will also follow, can you rest assured that she will go alone, you are still not her husband?" ”
"That's for sure. Okay, I'll go with her, you're satisfied. Liang Xingfa said.
Yu Chaoen was very satisfied, and told them to go to the highest mountain range in Lingwu to pick the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountain and come back, and set off immediately. When Liang Xingfa went back to pack his luggage, Yu Chaoen fiercely ordered Zhou Lijun to find an opportunity to kill Liang Xingfa on the road. Zhou Lijun had to agree with tears in her eyes.
