It's rare to be busy, Yuan Mai fell asleep on the bed, and when he opened his eyes, it was already three days old.

"Oops...... There is a saying that is 'gentle township, hero mound', this is really true, tired in the middle of the night, this waist is more sore than fighting! ”

Yuan Mai stretched his somewhat sore back and got up from the bed. Unexpectedly, last night, by mistake, Cai Wenji was done, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

After washing up and having breakfast, Yuan Mai came to the front yard with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Zhou Cang was practicing knife techniques under the shade of a tree, due to the hot weather, he was only wearing a pair of cyan pants, exposing his dark and strong chest muscles.

Seeing Zhou Cang's dark and strong muscles knotted like rocks, Yuan Mai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yuanfu's muscles are really strong, it's just a black cow!" ”

Seeing that Yuan bought it, Zhou Cang took the big knife, inserted it into the weapon rack, and smiled innocently: "Hehe...... If Childe likes it, he will call me a black bull in the future! ”

"Okay, since you say so, then I will call you 'Black Bull' in the future, so that you can look majestic!"

Yuan Mai took Zhou Cang's words, half serious and half joking. Thinking that he was so happy last night, but Zhou Cang was alone, Yuan Mai suddenly remembered that he was a matchmaker and married Li to Zhou Cang.

Pinch your fingers and count, when she led the army to the north to conquer Dai County last year, she met the Li family in Quyang County, it was the March of Yangchun at that time, and it had been more than a year since then, and the one-year period for the Li family to observe the festival for her husband should also be completed. It's time to take advantage of this return to Hanoi. Handle this marriage for Zhou Cang.

"Hei Niu, you go take a bath, change into clean clothes, I will send someone to prepare a dowry, and I will marry you back in the next few days!" Yuan Mai patted Zhou Cang's shoulder and commanded with a smile.

"Oops...... Great, Childe's great grace, it's like a parent, I don't know how to repay you Zhou Cang! Zhou Cang smiled and fell to the ground on one knee. Thank you to Yuan Mai.

Not a lot of effort. Zhou Cang quickly took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and came to the courtyard to Yuan Mai and said, "Son, I have changed my clothes." Let's go out now! ”

Zhou Cang's change of clothes. Yuan Mai had already ordered his officials in charge of ceremonies to check the auspicious days of the zodiac. After three days, it will be auspicious, and it is suitable for marriage. Yuan Mai took Zhou Cang to Li's house today, but he gave a dowry first.

But. Although the date is chosen, where to marry is still a question. Zhou Cang used to be alone, so he lived in Yuan Mai's mansion, and the guards crowded together to stay, and now he is going to marry a wife, so he can't marry into the "Pingxi General's Mansion", right? What a system this becomes!

Yuan Mai and Zhou Cang rushed to the place where the Li family lived, and while sending his own guards to the Taishou Mansion to look for Tian Chou, he said that he was going to marry Zhou Cang three days later, let him buy a private house, and prepare all the furniture and supplies, so as not to delay the good day and auspicious day. The guards took the order and left.

It's the end of May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. Afraid of the hot weather, the streets were a little less crowded than usual, and they all hid in their homes to escape the heat.

However, after a meal, Yuan Mai took Zhou Cang and his entourage to the alley where Li's house was located.

I saw that these were three courtyard houses in a row, in addition to the Li family's mother and son living here, there were also Gao Shun's family, as well as Yuan Mai's eldest brother Zhao Qi's family of four.

"Hey...... Hey...... Hey ho ......"

At the end of the alley, there is a wide area, made of bluestone masonry, where four boys are practicing their fists and feet. They are all about seven or eight years old, and they all practice very hard and seriously, but the good and the bad are uneven, some people practice with a clear eye, and some people practice absurdly and out of tune.

These children are recognized by Yuan Maiju, the oldest of which is Gao Shun's ten-year-old son Gao Tong, and the youngest is Li's son He Ping, who is eight years old this year, that is, Wang Ping, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, was asked to the family surnamed He because of his poverty, and his fate was upside down, and he was taken back by Yuan Mai.

In addition to Gao Tong and He Ping, there is also nine-year-old Zhao Mo, who is the son of his eldest brother Zhao Qi. The other boy is Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, who is also nine years old this year; Although the Zhang family does not live here, they are only a few streets away, so Zhang Hu often comes to play with these three friends.

"Tsk...... The little ones are practicing well, I want to fight the country, and I have to count on this group of red seedlings to be the second generation in the future! ”

Yuan Mai became interested in these children, turned over and dismounted, and quietly squatted to the side to watch. The entourage did not dare to squeak, and stopped one after another, stopping behind the son to watch.

After watching it for a while, Yuan Mai had a rough judgment on the advantages and disadvantages of these children: Gao Tong is the oldest, has a good foundation, has a good fist and feet, is full of strength, and looks like he has a lot of experience. And although He Ping is young, he seems to be second only to Gao Tong in kung fu; Zhang Huren is as his name suggests, so-so, and can still make up for the past, but his wife and nephew Zhao Mo seems to be playing games at all, and at first glance it is not a material for martial arts training, and it is really the same as his father Zhao Qi, and he is a mediocre person when he grows up!

Yuan Mai instructed his entourage to buy a bag of snacks made of cane sugar and came back, then walked to the four children with a smile, applauded and praised: "Children, you have practiced your fists and feet well, come and eat candy!" ”

After all, they are all innocent children, the four young children immediately swarmed up, took the cane sugar from Yuan Mai's hand, you and I separated one by one, and then chewed and ate it, but He Ping put the cane sugar cube in his pocket, and quietly sat on the side and watched the other three children eat the candy, he just swallowed his saliva, but he was reluctant to eat it.

Yuan Mai was amazed, and asked with a smile: "He Ping, the three of them all eat with relish, why do you put it in your pocket and refuse to eat it, don't you like sweets?" ”

He Ping shook his head, turned his dark and bright eyes, and said: "Gao Tong and Zhang Hu's father is a general, and Zhao Mo's aunt is Mrs. Thorn Shi, and they all have high-ranking officials in their families, and there is no shortage of food. And my grandmother and I are only two people who depend on each other, and no one pays us salaries, so I have to take it home for my grandmother to eat! ”

"Tsk...... Not bad, not bad, what a good boy! ”

Yuan Mai was surprised when he heard this, stroked He Ping's head, and praised him repeatedly. Later generations know that Kong Rong makes pears, but they don't know that Wang Ping also has a filial piety, and sure enough, the life of suffering makes it easier to temper the will of children and make them sensible early.

"Black Bull, do you see? This kid is a good talent, after you marry the Li family, you have to treat their mother and son well, and guide He Ping's kung fu a lot, and he will be a great general in the future! ”

"Huh...... Well, I also think this kid is good, I guess he will grow up to be better than me! Zhou Cang patted his chest and agreed, buy one get one free, and before he sowed, he picked up such a cheap son, which is also good.

He Ping listened to Yuan Mai's words, and looked at Zhou Cang vigilantly: "He looks so ugly, why should he marry my mother?" ”

Yuan Mai explained with a smile: "He Ping, that's not what he said. Black Bull ...... Yuanfu is a little darker, but not ugly, this is called manhood, this is called iron-blooded tough guy, many women like this! Besides, Yuanfu is a martial artist, let him be your father, and he can teach you to practice martial arts from time to time! ”

He Ping pouted, with a look of disbelief: "This big black man looks so stupid? Could it be that he knows martial arts? Our kung fu is all taught by Gao Tong's Daddy, is he more powerful than General Gao? ”

Yuan Mai pondered for a moment, and said affirmatively: "In terms of martial arts alone, Yuan Fu is not much worse than General Gao, maybe between the best!" ”

"Cut, I don't believe it!" He Ping scoffed disdainfully

"Don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it at all!" Zhang Hu also agreed.

"That's right, my father's martial arts are the best in the world!" Gao Tong also echoed his little friends and praised his father.

Yuan Mai smiled slightly when he heard this, and there was no strange intention. There is a way to be a child, these four children's martial arts are all taught by Gao Shun, and it is understandable that they have great respect for Gao Shun in their hearts, and when they grow up, they will know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Zhou Cang's ability to command troops naturally can't be the same as Gao Shun, but in terms of martial arts, I'm afraid that he won't lose a few points to Gao Shun, and he can capture the fierce general Pang De of Xiliang alive, Zhou Cang definitely has some ability!

"Yuanfu, it looks like the beauty you want to hug will return, and you have to pass the test of the child!" Yuan Mai crossed his arms in front of his chest, took a few steps back with a smile, and signaled, "Show your weapons and open the eyes of the children, otherwise the children will not accept you!" ”

Zhou Cang agreed, took a single knife from the hands of the guards, and danced in the open field, but saw the cold light flickering, like pear blossoms flying, with a great momentum of not revealing a drop of water.

"Wow...... He Ping, this black general's martial arts are good, he became your father, and you will have a general father in the future! Zhao Mo ate the cane sugar and said with a smile.

Gao Tong and Zhang Hu agreed in unison: "Uh-huh...... General Hei's martial arts are really good, He Ping, hurry up and call Dad? ”

Eight or nine-year-old children already know that it is not easy to change their words, He Ping lowered his head and said stubbornly: "Don't scream!" "But it's not as resistant to Zhou Cang as before.

After teasing the child for a while, Yuan Mai got up and knocked on the door of the Li family, called Zhao Qi and Gao Shun's wife Xu Shi over, explained his intentions, gave a dowry, and set a date to marry Li three days later.

In this troubled world, women always have to find someone to rely on, and Li did not shirk, and agreed with a little shyness. Three days later, a team of relatives came to the alley, surrounded Zhou Cang, who was dressed in big red clothes, and married Li into the house. How far the sound of the festive horn and suona spread, there was a festive atmosphere in Wenxian County. (To be continued......)
