There is a saying that "everything is arranged by fate".

Whether fate has arranged it, I don't know, in short, Duan Meimei was urged by Tian Kokou to hurry back to Tokyo, that was Xu Yongzhi's arrangement, Tian Kokou refused to directly open the portal into the house, and it was also Xu Yongzhi's request.

But now Duan Meimei looked at the familiar courtyard gate.

We have always managed this courtyard, which is called "Yamajido".

There have been many people living in it, some of whom are not related to each other by blood, they are friends or partners.

But for almost a year, this is actually the home of this group of people.

Duan Meimei is the hostess of this house.

But today, it doesn't seem to be.

There were two men standing at the door of the house, tall and mighty.

They were dressed in ill-fitting domestic servants' clothes, and their expressions were serious and nervous.

They are plainclothes.

If you look closely, you can see their flaws - they wear official boots underneath their robes.

It should be someone from the front of the palace, but he has never seen it, and the few palace guards that Duan Meimei knew when she fought the clay monster were not among them.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

It was the palace guard when Chai Rong was on the throne.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he promoted a lot of palace guards.

The soldier is promoted to be the chief, and the chief is promoted to the head of the capital, but it is not promoted in the front of the palace, you have to go to the three armies of Longjie, Tiecai or Hujie, and go to the front line to make meritorious contributions, and the vast world has a lot to do.

This is a decent emperor, if it is a butcher like Zhu Wen, it is estimated that the soldiers of the previous dynasty will be dug and buried.

This matter was carried out slowly over the course of several months, and because there was a campaign against Li Yun, it was simply the most legitimate thing to promote.

Some of the most reliable and trustworthy people will be transferred back to Zhao Kuangyin's side, such as Xu Yongzhi, although he is better at commanding the elite of the Hujie army, but returning to the front of the palace to be an errand will make Zhao Kuangyin feel more at ease.

Duan Meimei looked at these tall students, ignored them, and walked forward.

"Girl, what are you doing?" One of the soldiers asked.

"This is my home." Duan Meimei said.

"I don't know you." The soldier looked alarmed.

"I don't know you yet, what are you doing standing in front of my house?" Duan Meimei said.

The two sides said stiffly with one mouth, in normal times, Duan Meimei would never do this.

But when she saw that happy word, she really couldn't be calm.

There was one person out of it, none other than Duan Meimei's father-in-law, Xu Taishi.

"Don't get me wrong." Xu Taishi ordered two soldiers.

The two soldiers gave a military salute and stopped talking.

Xu Taicheng is the commander of the front division of the palace, and his official position is not high, but his words count.

"Dad, what do these people do? What's going on with this happy word? Duan Meimei asked.

Xu Taishi approached Duan Meimei, pulled her sleeve and walked inside, and Mercy hurriedly followed.

"Inside." Xu Taishi said.

"Oh, tell me." Duan Meimei took a few steps and felt that her father-in-law's performance was too unnatural.

"Don't make a noise, the official family is going to come over for dinner today, so there are a lot of soldiers here, everyone is nervous, you go to the back, I'll tell you." Xu Taishi lowered his voice.

Passing through the second door, Duan Meimei asked Mercy to wait under the porch, and she and Xu Taishi entered the small reception room.

"Kid, you have to hold ......" Xu Taishi looked at Duan Meimei and sighed.

"I still have something I can't stand up, even if it's not good, it's a happy event, right......" Duan Meimei probably guessed.

"My lord is going to marry Sister Qiao tonight." Xu Taishi finally mustered up the courage to speak.

If it was changed to a month ago, even if Duan Meimei had a good temper, she would inevitably pick up the bench and settle accounts with Sister Qiao.

"How did this happen?" Duan Meimei calmly asked such a sentence.

Xu Taishi sighed, he didn't know how deep and how much to talk to Duan Meimei.

"The name of the little young master is Xu Zongpu." Xu Taishi said.

"That's a good name, who took it?" Duan Meimei's face became more and more calm.

"The official took it." Xu Taishi said.

"The official knows?" Duan Meimei asked.

"My lord told the official." Xu Taishi said.

"He's real." Duan Meimei sighed.

"Fortunately, he is real, and the official family has already guessed the life experience of the little young master." Xu Taishi said.

"Don't the officials mind?" Duan Meimei said.

"The official family let this child go." Xu Taishi said.

"Good guys." Duan Meimei's evaluation was concise and to the point.

"But the official family requires that the child cannot be without a legal mother, that is, the son must be married." Xu Taishi said.

"So you're going to let your lord marry that woman?" Duan Meimei said.

"There's no way around it." Xu Taishi sighed.

"Dad, you're really honest." Duan Meimei said.

"Huh?" Xu Taishi looked surprised.

"The meaning of the official family is that this child must have a mother, so the adult must marry a wife, right?" Duan Meimei said.

"Yes, otherwise, it will be unjustifiable, and the son of that noble man cannot be an illegitimate child." Xu Taishi said.

"Okay, I see." Duan Meimei sat on a chair.

"You have to understand the hardships of the adults." Xu Taishi said.

"Uncle Taishi, let me tell you." Xu Yongzhi's voice came from outside the door.

Xu Taishi opened the door, saluted Xu Yongzhi, and went out.

"You...... It's back. Xu Yongzhi looked at Duan Meimei.

"I'm back." Duan Meimei looked at Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongyi was dressed in auspicious clothes, but he was obviously thin.

These days in Zezhou can be described by the four words "sleeping all night on the job", his daily work is to train troops, tidy up the streets of Zezhou, work happily, and people are a little tanned.

She put her hand on Xu Yongzhi's cheek a little uneasily.

"If I want to touch you like this in the future, I have to ask for the woman's permission, right?" Duan Meimei's tears flowed down her cheeks.

Xu Yongzhi was silent, held up Duan Meimei's cheeks, and kissed her lips.

Sometimes you don't have to say so much.

When the lips parted, a hug followed, and Xu Yongzhi hugged Duan Meimei tightly.

They don't have much time.

"Why are all the officials here?" Duan Meimei grabbed the time and asked.

"Shouldn't we do it secretly?"

"Ahem, don't mention it." Xu Yongzhi said.

Because of the tight schedule and heavy tasks, Shanzitang's arrangements for this wedding were very small-scale, and only some relatives and friends were invited.

The day before yesterday, Sister Qiao heard about this arrangement and was very dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"I'm talking about husband."

"Don't call me husband!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"You have to call it, I usually call you Xu Gongzi again, in case you can't change it temporarily, it will be troublesome, and besides, you have a son now, and you are no longer a son." Sister Qiao said.

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"This child is a real dragon, he has a full moon, there must be a person with status to bless him, come here, talk or something." Sister Qiao said.

"Just let Grandpa Godfather tell me." Xu Yongzhi recommended Jin Jiugong, the leader of the beggar gang.

"This can't work, in this industry, isn't it troublesome for the child to enter the industry with him." Sister Qiao said.

"I suggest that you don't toss it, and when it's time for the child to be crowned, find him a crown wearer with status." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Don't, the child only has a full moon once in his life, and I should only have this one child in my life, unless I ......" Sister Qiao looked at Xu Yongzhi with a smile.

"No unless!"

"The less people who attend this, the better, I repeat, for the safety of the children." After Xu Yongzhi finished speaking, he went out to work in the yamen, and Sister Qiao pondered it at home.

The prescription is effective, and I will catch that medicine next time.

I have to go to Sister Amei.

This time, she went directly to Zhang Yongde's house and asked Menzi to pass it on.

Sister Amei was embroidering in the house when she heard a report outside, "The fiancée of Xu Du's commander asks to see her." ”

"What's the matter, Duan Meimei came to the door? Sure enough, Brother Yongzhi is in trouble. "Sister Amei hurriedly called the girl in.

When I came in, it was Sister Qiao.

"Sister Qiao, it's you......"

"Sister Amei, I just wanted to ask you, did you receive an invitation to the wedding wine at home."

"Isn't it full moon wine?" Sister Amei said with a smile.

"Ahem, it's also the saint who is in charge today, and he gave the marriage ......," Sister Qiao said.

"What! Will the official family also go? Sister Amei shouted.

"I really don't know about this...... Sister Qiao said.

"Well said, wrap it up on me!" Sister Amei patted her chest without waiting for her to finish and sent her out the door.

That night, the news that Xu Yongzhi was going to get married spread all over Tokyo.

A large number of officials sent letters one after another, asking Xu Yongzhi why he didn't invite him.

Before Zhao Kuangyin and Queen Wang had dinner, Zhang Dejun came over.

"The Chinese scholar wants to get married, and the family says that it is the official family to give marriage." Zhang Dejun said.

"Yes, there is such a thing." Zhao Kuangyin scratched his head.

"So tomorrow there will be a lot of officials and generals going to their homes for a wedding drink......," Mr. Zhang said.

"Why is there such a big commotion?" Zhao Kuangyin was also taken aback.

This is not Xu Yongzhi's style.

Queen Wang took out a can of mung bean soup and served it to Zhao Kuangyin.

The official family is fat, and he can't eat much on a hot day, so the mother will cook some soup, which is a soup that defeats the fire in summer, and put it in a jar and drink it with well water.

"It's good to be lively, speaking of which, this is the first child born to your brothers after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty." Queen Wang reminded.

"Well, this is true, this kid is the eldest son of Da Song." Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

"Official Shengming!" Zhang Dejun breathed a sigh of relief, with Zhao Kuangyin's statement, the matter of his father's funeral and concubine is not a problem.

"Since everyone is going, let's just go to the official family too." Queen Wang said.

"Oh? This ......," Zhao Kuangyin muttered.

"Go ahead, it's lively, just don't eat too much wine." Queen Wang said.

The daughter-in-law takes the initiative to urge the man to socialize, which shows that this socialization is very important.

"Zhang Dejun, inform Yongzhi that tomorrow night's wedding and full moon wine will be over." Zhao Kuangyin said.

At this time, the front boss of the palace was tossed and jumped.

The emperor is going to the capital to command the envoy to drink at home, which is a lot of security pressure.

However, Zhao Guan's family still has to have fun with the people, and they are not allowed to close the road and clean the street.

In the end, this matter still had to fall on the groom's official, and Xu Yongzhi tossed for a day before he finalized all the details.

Li Sigui asked Sister Qiao, and it was Sister Amei's old way.

"Miss Xiong, I told you not to do anything more, what the adults said, can it not be counted?" Li Sigui's face was serious.

"Isn't it a very normal social activity to care about whether the matchmaker's daughter has received an invitation?" Sister Qiao said.

This kid learns very quickly.

"Also, Mr. Li, I want you to be the little master's teacher." Sister Qiao said.

"It's a bribe! It doesn't matter if you say it, it's up to the adults to decide. Li Sigui shouted.

"You see, I don't have any malice, I just think that your talent is superior ......," Sister Qiao said.

Li Sigui has no temper at all.

"Also, don't call me Miss Bear in the future, starting tomorrow, I will be the master mother of Shanzitang, you can call me Mrs." Sister Qiao said with a smile.

When Li Si came out, he understood the seriousness of the situation and hurried to find Xu Yongzhi.

"My lord, if she is blessed by the official family tomorrow, I am afraid that she will be this family in the future." Li Sigui said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have arrangements." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What's the arrangement?" Li Sigui asked.

Xu Yongzhi whispered the arrangement.

"Hmmm! Uh-huh! Okay......" Li Sigui nodded again and again, and also went to prepare.

Xu Yongzhi's strategy has an extremely vulnerable point, that is, Duan Meimei.

If Duan Meimei doesn't cooperate, everything will be over.

"That's it, that's it."

"Okay, I'll sort it out, you were kidnapped by Sister Qiao and you have to get married, and now you're desperate, let me save you, how can I save you?" Duan Meimei said with tears in her eyes.

"You've bypassed me for so many things, how can I save you?"

Duan Meimei was indeed angry, and she was indeed unhappy when she ran away from home, but it was naturally Xu Yongzhi's fault for letting Sister Qiao play prestige at home.

"I hope you can calm down today, and someone will guide you through the process." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Calm down, ha! Calm down! She wiped her tears.

"The man I love is going to marry someone else, you want me to calm down!"

"Meimei, please listen to me, now, I want you to go back to the house, the bath water is ready, you have worked hard all the way, wash it." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Wash it clean and look good at your wedding, right?" Duan Meimei said.

"I don't want to repeat it again, it's an order, I have to hurry to the front to greet the guests, some of them have already arrived." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes," Duan Meimei replied listlessly, "Boss." ”

Xu Yongzhi sighed, compared to maneuvering between women, it is easier to rush into the enemy formation.
