At the gate of the capital, a group of cavalry galloped in, and the knight who took the lead showed the token of the king of the county, and then flew on his horse and ran only to the palace. While beating the horse, he shouted: "The frontier is a great victory, and the Hu people have retreated." ”

People on the street excitedly ran to tell each other how many people's sons and daughters were in the army. The withdrawal of the Hu people is simply great news for the people.

In the study, Guan Yunhe was reading a letter and a jade pendant in his hand, and he frowned for a while. The letter was written by Ling Yuanzhi, saying that this time the father and son would return to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners, and this victory would ensure peace for at least ten years. The letter also said that his son is already eighteen, and if he returns for meritorious service this time, the emperor may have to give him a marriage. He also said that Yuanhang did not want to marry a woman he did not know, he had seen the youngest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and he was very impressed and wanted to ask to marry Yaru, and he could wait until Yaru and Lu to get married. I hope Guan Houye can agree. If agreed, Yu Pei left as a token.

Guan Yunhe pondered for a moment, took up a letter, and untied a piece of jade pendant that he was carrying, called Guan Long and Guan Hu, and asked them to meet Marshal Ling's army returning to Beijing, and handed over the letter and jade pendant to Ling Yuanzhi.

After doing all this, Guan Houye walked out of the study with his hands behind his back. Walk to the courtyard where Wen lives. Wen's is more beautiful than five years ago, and the climate in the capital is much better than in northern Xinjiang. Wen's skin becomes whiter and more delicate.

That year, Guan Houye snubbed Mrs. Wang for half a year, and only reconciled with Mrs. Wang, after all, it was his own wife, just knock and knock, how could he really ignore his wife. The matter of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, Guan Houye can't do it. After this incident, Mrs. Wang no longer dared to suppress the concubine. Besides, Mrs. Wang's own upbringing didn't make her do anything vicious, just because she was jealous, she was just about to play the majesty of being a housewife to her aunts, but she was cut off by Master Hou, and she also turned a blind eye to Yaru. Therefore, Yaru and Wen's life in the past four years has been very smooth.

Wen made a pot of tea for Guan Houye, poured a cup and handed it to him, and asked strangely, "Why did Hou Ye come back so early today?"

Guan Yunhe replied to her with a smile: "Today, there is good news from the border pass, and the army is going to return to the DPRK." ”

"It's over. Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hou Ye asked again: "Do you still remember Ling Yuanhang." ”

"That wounded boy, I heard that he is now a general. Wen said.

"Yes, their father and son are on their way, and his father has written to him asking to marry Aru. Guan Yunhe said.

"Ahh

Guan Houye felt that she looked a little silly, and she was very cute, and thought, that little mouth is very delicious, people can move as they like, Guan Houye pulled Wen and hugged her in his arms, and kissed her with her delicious little mouth. It took a while to let go.

Wen's face is red and his ears are red. He called out shyly: "Master Hou." ”

Guan Yunhe smiled and said, "I promised." ”

"But doesn't he think Aru is a concubine? ”

"What's wrong with the concubine, our Ru'er is beautiful and clever, and she also learned kung fu from the old man. Cheap that kid too. "The thought that the little daughter who is pampered by the thousands of pets is going to be abducted by that stinky boy, Guan Houye feels uncomfortable.

"It's that kid's family is not quiet, Mrs. Wu is not a worry-free person, fortunately, the prince of the county has also returned, since he can resolutely take away a pair of children, our daughter will not be wrong to marry. "Think about the appearance of the little daughter, he is good, Ru'er is against the old lady, she can handle it herself.

Wen thought about her daughter's intelligence, and she was also relieved.

The border city in August is already very cool. Ling Jun walked to the tent of the women's barracks. If you want to ask why there are still female soldiers in the army, it was related to He Enjun at that time. I think that when He Enjun joined the army, because he couldn't let go of his sister, he wanted to marry his sister first. My sister's fiancé is also serving in the army, but I didn't expect the wedding date to be approaching, and my sister's fiancé encountered the Xiongnu on the way to transport grain, and unfortunately died. He Enjun really had no choice, so he asked his sister to disguise herself as a man and join the army. He Enjun's father is a horse runner, and the Chang family is outside, for the safety of his wife and children at home, the family has invited a master to teach kung fu, so He Enjun and his sister He Linlang are both practicing families. Because of this, He Enjun decided to take He Linlang to join the army, but announced to the public that He Linlang went to defect to relatives in other places. At that time, there were not a few women in the army in ancient times, and there was a princess in the army in the previous dynasty, who was still a general, but there was no precedent in this dynasty. After He Linlang took his maid to join the army, she always disguised herself as a man, and later she was seen by Ling Yuanxing's wife Yuan and recognized it immediately.

After He Enjun explained his family background clearly, Ling Yuanxing found his brother Ling Junwang, and later established a women's team, and He Linlang became the captain of the women's team. In the past few years in the war with the Huns, the female soldiers have also made a significant contribution, they have disguised themselves into the city to do internal response, organized the people to guard the city, rescued the wounded, done logistics, etc., these girls almost have a bitter experience, or whose good daughter's family can come to this place to face death directly. In the past few years, He Linlang's courage was very appreciated by King Ling Jun and other generals, and under the combination of Ling Yuanxing and others, King Ling Jun and He Linlang set up a family affair, and only waited for the war to return to Beijing to get married.

Just now, King Ling Jun just received the holy decree from the capital, and King Ling Jun wanted to return to Beijing to offer prisoners five days later, He Linlang's female soldier team was directly under the jurisdiction of King Ling Jun, just like the current detachment directly under the central government, so King Ling Jun came over to discuss with Linlang about the ownership of the female team.

He Linlang happened to be patrolling outside, and when she saw the county king coming, she walked directly to the county king. The men and women in the barracks are not so shy, they are more likely to say whatever they have, so He Linlang generously gave the county king the etiquette of an ordinary soldier to a commander.

King Ling smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, I'm just here to tell you that we are going to leave for Beijing in five days, how have you prepared during this time, what are your female soldiers going to do, and how many people will return to Beijing with you?"

He Linlang said generously: "I counted eighty female soldiers, and more than half of them were married. When the war is over, they will go home to their fiancés. There were thirty-six people left, and they were going to go to Beijing with me. When we get to Beijing, we can help them find a lover. ”

King Ling Jun nodded: "That's good, we must arrange them all properly." ”

In October, the city was breezy and the streets from the Imperial Palace to the main gate were lined with people happily waiting for the return of the army. Soldiers in armor are holding weapons to maintain order. If you pay attention, you will see that there are people on the windows of every restaurant next to the street, but those people are all girls, and they are all young ladies and ladies from wealthy families.

Of course, there are also some women from large families on both sides of the street who follow their families. But they all wore veils over their faces. Naturally, there is no shortage of ordinary market women, they are not so particular, and they can be very generous to wait to see the returning Dayuan heroes.

g

People were talking excitedly: "Hey, I heard that this time the prince of Ling County and Ling Shizi and his son are both back. ”

"Yes, that Ling Shizi went to the border with the prince of the county at the age of nine, learned martial arts, and is now a general of Zhenbei. ”

"Hey, I also heard that Ling Shizi is only eighteen, I heard that he is not married yet, and I don't know if he is engaged?"

"Hey, there is also the prince of the county, I heard that the prince of the county has not yet renewed the strings, and it seems that it is less than forty this year. ”

"Hey, I heard...... ，”

"I heard about it...... ，”

The common people were discussing, and the ministers of the court wore court clothes and followed behind the emperor's chariot, in front of which was the Imperial Forest Army opening the road, and on both sides were also the Imperial Forest Army with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. As soon as the emperor's car appeared, the voices on both sides of the street began to quiet. But it didn't stop completely.

The emperor's chariot went out of the city gates, and then got out of the chariot. The current emperor is directly succeeded by the crown prince. The prince of Lingjun was his companion. Needless to say, the relationship between the two is needless to say. Just look at the smile on the emperor's face.

At the end of the day, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and the sound became louder and louder, and gradually a faint shadow appeared, and then from far to near. Twenty steps away from the emperor, Ling Yuanzhi took his son and generals to dismount and walked towards the emperor at a gallop. The emperor also hurried to catch up. King Ling Jun hurriedly knelt down, and the generals behind him also knelt down with him.

The emperor personally picked up the prince of the county: "Ling Aiqing, hard work!" and said to the generals: Dayuan has you good sons, fortunately, I have set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate your achievements. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen. All the generals bowed down and shouted.

Then the army entered the city. Behind the emperor and ministers, King Ling Jun rode a horse and slowly followed, Ling Yuanhang was beside him, and behind him were all the generals and soldiers who accompanied him into Beijing, mighty and spirited.

The people on both sides of the street praised each other: "Look, the first two should be King Ling Jun and Ling Shizi, the two of them look like each other, they are so handsome and majestic." "Some people even threw handkerchiefs.

On the window of one of the restaurants, the two girls are also looking down, the one wearing the aqua blue dress is Guan Yayi, who is fourteen this year, and the other one wearing a lilac dress is Guan Yaru, who is less than two years old and will be thirteen at the end of this year.

"Wow, it's so mighty!" Guan Yaru looked at it, and his mouth was not idle, "Silver helmet and silver armor, white war horse, handsome." ”

The young lady spoke out of place again, and the peach and apricot red next to her were used to hearing the strange words that their young lady came out of time from time to time, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the young lady's words. But there is still a second lady here today, if the words of my own young lady reach the ears of my wife, it will be said to be undignified.

The two of them pulled their own young lady, Yaru immediately woke up, covered her mouth, and looked at the second sister. Seeing this, Yaru secretly screamed in her heart, oh no, her sister's eyes were straight, and she didn't pay attention to what she said at all.

Daddy's marriage, my mother told me that I have nothing to do, in this ancient world of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is impossible to fall in love freely, rather than marrying someone I don't know, it is better to marry Ling Yuanhang, who has met. Therefore, Aru had no problem with the marriage. I don't know if my father told my grandmother about this. Seeing the second sister like this, it was love at first sight for Ling Yuanhang. Aru's heart became uneasy. How can I talk to my father when I go back?

In the restaurant opposite, there was also a beautiful girl leaning in front of the window, her face was full of tears, her eyes were firmly fixed on the two heroic figures on horses on the long street, and she muttered to herself: Daddy, Daddy, Daddy and Brother are finally back. ”

Another beautiful girl next to her persuaded her: "Cousin, my uncle and cousin are back, you have to laugh, such a beautiful little face makes you cry like this." My uncle should be distressed when he sees it. "This is Ling Yuanhang's sister A Ning, and it was Ah Jing, the cousin of her aunt's family, who spoke to her.

A few days ago, the Pingwang Mansion had set the best place on the main street with the best view. Ah Ning counted the days every day, she almost didn't sleep all night last night, and her eyes were a little dark when she got up in the morning, which made the old princess feel distressed enough. When there were not many people on the street, the girls from Pingwangfu came to the restaurant. As for the men, they all went to the street to watch directly.

The cousin of the second uncle's family, Ah Qin, put her arm around Ah Ning's shoulders and comforted silently, she knew that it was useless to say anything now, Ah Ning had been looking forward to it for so many years, and the joy in her heart must not be something that could be used with a few words of comfort. Now the best consolation is to let Ah Ning vent to her heart's content. work

After the figures of her father and brother gradually disappeared, Ah Ning turned around and hugged Ah Qin, because she was in a restaurant, she was afraid that others would lose her manners if they heard it. Only a low whimper.

In the hall of the palace banquet, the staggered planning, talking and laughing banquets, the emperor on meritorious deeds, the county prince is a very clear person, before the emperor spoke, the county prince himself said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been fighting for several years, there are many injuries on his body, and the old mother is still in the hall, and the frontier has been settled, please return the handsome seal and recuperate at home for a few years." I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

King Lingjun understands in his heart that the kings of the past dynasties are all the same, when the war comes, he needs you to charge for him, but when you beat the enemy away, he should "fly all the birds, hide the good bow", you have military power, how can he be stable in his heart. Don't look at yourself as the emperor's companion, after a long time, the emperor is suspicious, and the relationship is not good. The royal fathers and sons and brothers are still killing each other, and they are just a companion and what is it, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed in the future, so I should hurry up and hand over the military power.

The emperor originally didn't allow it, but the prince of the county was resolute, to the effect that he was suffering a lot of physical damage, ** is still young, his mother is old, the emperor, you still let me recuperate, I still want to live a few more years.

The emperor was humble on his lips, but he was actually happy in his heart, he felt that he was very interested in reading, he didn't embarrass himself, and the steps he found for himself were very good, so he didn't have to burn his brain. Otherwise, he may have to end up with a murderer in the future. How good this was, it saved trouble, so the emperor reluctantly agreed. It's the same with compensation elsewhere. The emperor thought.

The emperor generously rewarded a thousand taels and two thousand hectares of land. Ling Shizi rose in rank and was promoted to General Sanpin Zhenwei, managing the right army of the Western Daying.

Then the emperor asked Ling Yuanhang: "Yuanhang, if I remember correctly, you are eighteen this year." ”

Everyone at the banquet pricked up their ears to hear what the emperor had to say.

King Ling replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is eighteen this year. ”

The emperor asked King Lingjun again: "Ah Zhi, can you set a family affair for the voyage?"

King Ling Jun said: "Back to the emperor, the girl has been decided. ”

The emperor is interested, whose girl is so lucky, let's hear it. ”

King Ling Jun said: "Back to the emperor, although the girl has been decided, the girl's sister has not yet agreed to marry, so she can't say it for the time being." Please understand the emperor. ”

The emperor laughed: "This girl must be very good, the voyage is set first, then I won't ask." Come on, let's drink. ”

However, when many ministers heard that Ling Yuanhang was already discussing his relatives, their hearts were cold, and now Ling Shizi was a hot son-in-law in the capital, and now he was flying. It's a pity that the girl in my own family doesn't have a chance.

Since agreeing to Ling Yuanhang's family affairs, Guan Yunhe has discussed choosing a son-in-law for Yayi, in fact, Yayi is a concubine, and she is a good person, with a good family background, upbringing, and beauty. There are already several families who are interested in getting married, and Yaru is young and a concubine, although she is also good-looking, the market is not as good as the second sister Yayi, you must know that the ancient background is still very important.

Mrs. Wang is the eldest son of the Duke of Weiguo, the first two generations of the Duke of Wei are military generals, but the current Duke of Guo is a Wenchen, and the current Guanglu Siqing, from the third grade. The eldest son is also from the text, this year's new champion,

He is also very handsome. But Guan Yunhe feels a little bad, this new champion is a little lustful, he has not yet married, there are already two aunts in the house, one is a room, Hou Ye feels that his daughter is too simple to teach his wife, I am afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the life of the family. Guan Houye wants to find a husband with a relatively simple family background for his daughter.

He fell in love with the son of the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu Yin's family. The Yin family was originally a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but they have also been officials for several generations, and now they basically serve in the local government. Only Yin Shangshu's family is in Beijing, and the Yin family can only take concubines if they are forty childless. Yin Shangshu has only two sons and one daughter, and the daughter is married. Lord Yin asked his eldest son Yin Hui to marry the daughter of the Guan family.

Guan Houye also deliberately went to investigate Yin Hui, Yin Hui's age is slightly older, this year's twenty, the men of the Yin family are all eighteen before getting married, and Yin Hui insists on considering family affairs after the imperial examination. The couple had a disagreement on the choice of these two people, Mrs. Wang was interested in the family, while Guan Houye was thinking about how to live after her daughter got married.

Guan Houye wanted to ask his second daughter what he meant. But when I asked about my daughter, I found that she seemed to be wandering.

Guan Houye coughed and shouted again, "Yi'er, these two sons have come to ask for marriage, and my father asks you what you mean." ”

Yayi came back to her senses, and heard that General Zhenwei had become a good girl, thinking of that handsome and mighty man, she felt a little melancholy, and she said wistfully: "Daddy, my daughter doesn't know the two sons, you and your mother should make up your mind." ”

Guan Houye looked at his daughter: "Then Dad will help you analyze these two." ”

So Guan Yunhe told his daughter what he knew about the two families. Guan Yayi threw away the shadow that she often recalled in her mind, it's just that, although that person is good, it's not something she can think about.

Yayi came back to her senses and said, "Then promise the Yin family, I believe in my father's vision." ”

The Yin family got a reply, and soon invited a matchmaker, and the two exchanged Geng posts and merged the eight characters. The next is a gift. Just wait for Yayi to get married next year and later. Then Mrs. Wang began to prepare a dowry for her daughter.
