Su Hao's wife Yang Gendi didn't think as much as Hao Yizong, Su Hao returned home, and just told his mother that he was going to Yunnan, and the old lady cried with tears and snot, crying Su Hao was at a loss:

"Mom, what are you crying about? I'm just sending these soldiers to the border, and then I'll be back, and it's only half a year before and after. ”

"Hao'er, how have you walked so far. You see, you went to Luoshan and were injured by strong men, I heard people say, this Yunnan is on the edge of the sky, 108,000 miles away from us, how can you walk back in half a year. Yang Gendi said babblingly.

Su Hao wiped his mother's tears and said with a smile: "Mom, look at what you said, what 108,000 miles, isn't your son a monkey to learn scriptures, and he still goes to Tianzhu?" Yunnan is only 4,000 miles away from us. ”

"4,000 miles less?" Yang Gendi said, "If you walk 40 miles a day, you have to walk 100 days to get there." "I really can't see that this rural woman is doing a good job of division.

"Uh...... Mother Shengming. Su Hao said, "However, I inquired, we may take a boat from the Yangtze River and go up the river, maybe it won't take 100 days to get there." ”

"4,000 miles, you don't know each other along the way, what if you meet a strongman again." Yang Gendi said.

Su Hao said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this, I went with a team of more than 100 people, in this peaceful and prosperous world, even if there are strong people, they are also small bandits, how can they beat my Ming elite soldiers?" Look at Hao Tong and Deng Kui, aren't they just coming and going between Jiangxi and Yunnan, and people are afraid of any strongmen without saying anything. ”

"But what do you do when you come back? You're a human being. Yang Gendi asked again, when it comes to her son's safety, she is not so easy to deceive.

Su Hao was amused by his mother's eagerness: "Mom, you think so much." I sent someone over for Deputy Chief Deng, can he ignore my return? Besides, what I gave me below was the Ministry of War, maybe the Ministry of War wanted your son to make a meritorious contribution and then promote your son to an officer. When the time comes, I will get a real Qianzong, a senior official of the fifth grade, and I can still walk alone? ”

"Really? You're right. Yang Gendi's attention was attracted by the matter of being an official, thinking that her son had only been in the county seat for half a year, and he had already become the master of the county government, as well as the six products and hundreds of households in the army, she felt that it was not impossible for her son to go to Yunnan and come back as a thousand households. The son is right, even a seven-grade magistrate is hugging him when he goes out, and a thousand households with a five-grade can still walk alone?

"Son, you go over there, but don't do it. The things that fight are all done by those rough people, you are a showman, just shake the feather fan in the back and be a military advisor. Yang Gendi gave Su Hao an idea, in the past six months in the county, she has gone to watch a few plays with others, but she has a rough idea of the plot in the play, and she also knows that military advisors are all shaking feather fans.

"Deputy Chief Deng has his own military advisor, so he doesn't need me to shake the fan. I'm just going to be a guest, even if I want to go to war, people won't let me go into battle, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed. Look at Deng Kui and Hao Tong's good martial arts, can Deputy Chief Deng still look up to me? Su Hao deprecated himself to ease his mother's heart.

Yang Gendi thought about it and felt that what Su Hao said was quite reasonable, and her heart was put down. She said, "Son, when are you leaving, I must hurry up and find a tailor to make you some clothes, this one who is away from home, dressed sloppily and makes people laugh." ”

Su Hao said: "Mom, this matter is not in a hurry, the official document of the military department does not know when it will come down, even if the official document comes down, it will have to be prepared by the soldiers for a few days before it can be opened, how can there be such an urgent matter." ”

"Really not in a hurry?" Yang Gendi asked.

Su Hao said: "Don't worry, I'm thinking, at least I have to wait for a month." ”

"A few months, isn't it about the New Year?" Yang Gendi said.

Su Hao said: "That's right, maybe the military department is letting us start after the New Year." ”

Yang Gendi looked around, and saw that Lu Xiu'er was not beside her, so she came to Su Hao and whispered, "Hao'er, since there is no urgency in the matter of pulling out, my mother will discuss the matter with you." ”

"What's the matter, so mysterious?" Su Hao asked strangely.

Yang Gendi said: "Son, the last time Han Zhixian invited Master Fang to propose to Miss Han, do you remember?" ”

Su Hao's heart moved, and he nodded: "Remember." ”

Yang Gendi said: "This matter, I'm also in a dilemma as a **." Let's talk about it, Qian'er, this girl, I also like it a lot, from a big family, she is knowledgeable, and she really looks like my son's good match when she goes out......"

"Wait, Mom, you're not trying to persuade me to marry Miss Han, are you?" Su Hao asked.

Yang Gendi nodded and said, "That's what Mom meant." ”

"But, as you know, she is a girl from an official family, and it is impossible to marry me, a white concubine, isn't it because of this reason that I rejected her?" Su Hao said.

Yang Gendi said: "In the days when you went to find a gold mine for that father-in-law Li, Miss Cheng came to our house, and she told me that in fact, it would be good to let Miss Qian'er be your wife and Xiu'er be your concubine." In fact, like the daughter of a small family in our countryside, it doesn't matter if she is a wife or a concubine. Even if Xiu'er is a concubine, with her mother supporting her, who would dare to bully her? ”

"Uh......" Su Hao was speechless, Cheng Yi, an old witch, really has a bit of incitement ability, and in just a few days, she actually changed her mind about her mother. When she rejected Fang Mengjin's proposal, the old lady admired herself. Alas, speaking of which, it is still this kind of hierarchical concept that is at work, Yang Gendi has always put herself in the position of an inferior flat-headed commoner, and when she looks at the county, she feels that she is a great official.

"What does Xiu'er think?" Su Hao asked.

Yang Gendi said: "Xiu'er is shy, how could she tell me directly if she is willing or not." However, I heard from Miss Cheng that Xiu'er was relieved in private, saying that as long as you treat her well and be a wife and concubine, she will not fight. ”

"yes, I see." Su Hao responded. He could guess that Lu Xiu'er would let go, which should also be because Cheng Yi did the work in it. Cheng Yi must have scared Lu Xiuer, saying that Su Hao would become a big official in the future, if Lu Xiuer was his wife, she would have to show her head frequently in public, with Lu Xiuer's character, she must be timid about such a thing. In this way, Cheng Yi instigated a few words, and Lu Xiuer willingly agreed to demote herself to the position of concubine.

Such a result was unexpected by Su Hao, but it was something he was happy to see. To say that he doesn't have a good impression of Han Qian, it's impossible. He refused so resolutely before, just because he was worried that he would hurt Lu Xiuer's heart. If Lu Xiuer is willing to withdraw and her mother can accept it, then the contradiction between the wife and concubine will be resolved. Being able to hug two beauties left and right, what reason does Su Hao have not to accept such a good thing?

"So, in the few days I've been away from home, you've already decided on my marriage?" Su Hao asked with a smile.

Yang Gendi glared at him and said, "You are not at home, which of us dares to decide your affairs?" Didn't I wait for you to come back before I discussed with you? ”

"Well, this kind of thing, you just have to look at it, this parent's order cannot be violated." Su Hao said with a smile on his face, with such a result, of course he was willing to obey his mother's arrangement.

Yang Gendi said with a straight face: "Hao'er, you are now an official person, and I don't dare to make decisions for you." How about it, do you think it's appropriate for Mom to arrange it like this? ”

"Let's talk to Xiu'er later." Su Hao said, "I have to be willing to do this." I don't care who is a wife and who is a concubine, but who knows what she thinks? ”

"I thought, since you are not in a hurry to leave, then we will hurry up and propose to Han Zhixian, and then get hired. Before you leave, let's take care of the family affairs, so that everyone can worry about it, what do you think? Yang Gendi said. Lu Xiu'er's attitude, in fact, she is already clear, what she is most anxious about now is to quickly get rid of Han Qian's affairs, maybe there will be changes when it is too late.

"Wait, Mom, I think there's still a bit of a flaw in this matter." Su Hao said.

Yang Gendi was stunned: "What flaw?" ”

Su Hao said: "We have figured it out and are willing to accept Miss Han." But we refused at the beginning, and now we go back to the door to propose marriage, can this Han Zhixian happily agree? ”

"This ......" Yang Gendi was also dumbfounded, isn't it, people rushed over to propose marriage, and Su Hao poured a scoop of cold water. Now it's okay, I want to marry someone else, and people can't sell it?

"Hao'er, in your opinion, what should we do?" Yang Gendi asked.

Su Hao sighed and said, "This matter can only be discussed in the long run, wait for a trip to Master Fang, and ask him to probe the tone of Han Zhi County." This official eunuch family values face very much, maybe Han Zhixian hated me to the core, and he didn't want to marry his daughter to me if he was killed. ”

"It's all your fault, you're so anxious about everything!" Yang Gendi complained, "You couldn't have slowed down a little in the first place, don't talk so desperately?" When you say this, I think about it, it's one thing whether Han Zhixian is happy or not. This Miss Han herself may be annoyed with you in her heart. Now, maybe you want to marry, but people don't want to marry. ”

"That's not possible." Su Hao scratched his scalp and said, "That's it, Miss Han, I'll ask that old witch to ask, she's good at asking this kind of thing?" ”

"Witch?" Yang Gendi wondered.

Su Hao smiled: "Isn't it that Cheng Yi, she is still a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and she is quite capable of tossing these gossip things." Can't such a capable person find a way to marry himself off? ”
