Since Cheng Yanjin came to the Shuai Mansion to convey Li Shimin's message that he wanted to marry Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, Xue Dingshan has been worried about it in the past few days. Every day, he was busy in and out of the camp outside the city, and rarely returned to the Shuaifu, and even Najib did not return to the invitation.

Today, seeing that Xue Dingshan was still missing when the wedding date arrived, Cheng Biting Jin was in a hurry, so he asked Jiang Xu and Qin Ying to find Jiang Xu and Qin Ying, and said, "You take Yu Chijiang and Yu Chisong to the camp to find your Brother Xue back." After noon, he has to go to Baihu Mountain to incense the old marshal, what does it matter if he doesn't come back? ”

"Yes." The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found Brother Wei Chi. The four men and four horses left the Shuai Mansion and went out of the city until they came to the camp.

Dismounted outside the gate and walked into the treasure tent of the Chinese army. I saw that Xue Dingshan was still sitting behind the handsome case and reading the official documents. Jiang Xu bumped upwards angrily, regardless of the difference between the handsome generals, he picked up the tiger gall in front of the handsome case and slapped it with a "snap".

Xue Dingshan was taken aback, raised his head with his eyebrows tightened, looked at Jiang Xu, and said angrily: "Jiang Lating, what are you doing?" ”

Jiang Xu smiled coldly and said, "What are you doing?" I want to ask you, what do you want to do? Tomorrow is the day you and your sister-in-law get married, and there are so many things to take care of today. You ignore it and hide in the camp to find clean. Who do you want to let you go to incense my old uncle? With so many guests coming and going, who will greet you? ”

Xue Dingshan heard Jiang Xu say that he came to find it because he didn't go back, so he barely suppressed his anger and said, "I still have a few official documents to deal with here, and I'll go back when I'm done." Jiang Xu said: "You prevaricate with business again, and when the business is over, it will be dark." No, Cheng Lao Chitose said, let you go back immediately. If you don't go back, our brothers will kidnap you, the deputy marshal. "Xue Dingshan heard that Cheng Yanjin asked them to come, so he couldn't say anything more. I had to say, "Okay, I'll go back with you." Jiang Xu smiled: "That's right." Let's go. The four of them accompanied Xue Dingshan out of the Chinese army's treasure tent, got on the horse, left the camp and returned to the Shuai Mansion.

After Xue Dingshan returned to the Shuai Mansion, he said, "You go and pay to Cheng Lao Chitose." I'll go and change my clothes, and I'll come out. Jiang Xu, Qin Ying and the others left. Xue Dingshan returned to his study alone, picked up the curtains, closed the door with his backhand, and lay on the bed with the back of his neck with both hands, letting his thoughts be troubled and entangled in his heart.

For his marriage, from the emperor to the old and young generals, they are so busy with all their hearts. Cheng Lao Chitose even ran before and after regardless of his age. Not happy to see that tomorrow's auspicious day is coming? No. Helpless? Neither is it. Is it anticipation, or confusion...... Even he himself couldn't tell, and he couldn't tell the truth.

Xue Dingshan was lying on the bed staring at the top of the tent, thinking wildly, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Xue Yulian pushed open the door and came in, with a little smile on her face, and said: "Everyone is busy with your marriage, you should close the door and lie down by yourself." ”

When Xue Dingshan saw that it was Xue Yulian, his face couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he quickly sat up and sat down, and said, "Why is my sister here?" You may be seated. ”

Xue Yulian sat down on a chair next to the bookcase and said, "What, can't I come?" ”

"Ugh! No, that's not what the little brother meant. Sister, don't be too careful. Xue Dingshan's face was a little embarrassed and said.

"Of course I know you don't mean that, what are you thinking about locking yourself in your room?" Xue Yulian looked at him and asked.

"Didn't think about anything. These days, I have been busy rectifying the affairs of the three armies, and I am a little tired day and night, and I want to rest quietly. ”

"It's time for you to take a break. Jiang Xu and Qin Ying will warm your room tonight, these people are all young and warm-hearted, you don't have to make trouble for a while, you will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully. Xue Yulian said with a smile. Xue Dingshan barely squeezed out a smile and didn't speak.

"Have you ever gone to the White Tiger Temple to pay tribute to your father?" Xue Yulian asked.

"Not yet." Xue Dingshan was slightly stunned for a moment and said.

"It's all this time, why haven't you gone yet?" Xue Yulian asked.

"I, alas!" Xue Dingshan sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, my little brother is a little afraid to see his old man's house. ”

Xue Yulian looked at Xue Dingshan as if she was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alas! I think that back then, when my father left his family and business to join the army, and went to the Bohai Sea to conquer the east with the army, my mother was pregnant with Liujia. Less than half a year after my father left, my mother gave birth to you and Jin Lian at full term. After my father left, there was no one to take care of the family, and it was already difficult to make a living. All of a sudden, you two little dolls were added, making it even more difficult for the already poor livelihood. Finally, you and Jin Lian grew up to be three years old, and because you were seriously ill and had no money for treatment, I sold myself for a few taels of silver for my mother to take you to live.

"It's not easy, my mother took you and Jin Lian to live like a year, and after waiting for twelve years, I got the news of my father's triumphant return to the court. I thought I could finally reunite with my family. Who would have expected that when my father went home to visit relatives, he passed by Fenhe Bay. In order to save your life in the tiger's mouth, I shot an arrow at the colorful tiger, but I didn't expect to accidentally hurt you, and your father and son met but never met. My father was depressed all day long about this, and he regretted it whenever he mentioned it.

"It wasn't until five years later that you were ordered by your master to go down to Yunmeng Mountain to join the army in front of the two armies, and the father and son were able to meet again. Come to think of it, among the three of us siblings, only you and your father have the shortest time together. It's only a few short years after you go down the mountain.

"In the past few years, you have constantly angered your father for various reasons, and your father, as the marshal of the three armies, had to torture you severely, which has caused a deep grudge between you and your father. It makes you feel a little resentful of your father in your heart. Last year's incident at the White Tiger Temple made you feel guilty again. That's why you don't want to see your father's ghost, for fear of arousing your sadness. These sisters naturally understand.

"It's just that, after all, he is his biological father, don't you go to his old man's spirit in this life to worship him, burn two pieces of paper money for the old man, and add a handful of new soil to his grave? Yun Feng, no matter how much there is a mustard between father and son, he is still your biological father. You've always had his blood in you. Sooner or later, you should go to his spirit and see him. ”

"Sister. Sister, don't talk about it. I will definitely go, please rest assured sister. Xue Dingshan's eyes were a little moist, blocking Xue Yulian's words.
