The people of Xiangtai gathered on both sides of the streets, many of them disabled veterans who had retired from the front line and had followed General Tang from birth to death.

They chased the funeral procession, crying and shouting General Tang.

Lao Sun also came.

His legs and feet were inconvenient, and he limped when he walked, but he still chased a long way.

It wasn't until the funeral procession left the city that he was stopped by his family.

Tang Pei was buried on a high mountain.

Tang Guixi kowtowed three times to his father's tombstone.

When she looked up again, her eyes were already red.

"Dad, you have worked hard for so many years, so let's rest here in the future.

This is the place I chose for you.

Standing here, you can see the border between our Liaodong County and Chenguo.

You can watch it well in the future.

Your daughter will take your place and continue to guard the land. ”

The wind rustled through the leaves, and a leaf just brushed the moist corners of Tang Guixi's eyes.

It was as if her father was helping her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Guixi stretched out his hand and caught the leaf.

Then Yu Yuanyuan, Xiao Ti, and King Min's father and son also stepped forward to bow and offer incense to Tang Pei and say their final goodbyes.

On the way back, the sky suddenly began to snow.

White snowflakes fell one after another, and in a short time a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground.

The horse's hooves are trampled over the snow, leaving clear horseshoe prints.

But it was soon covered with snow again.

Yu Yuan returned to the Bafang Pavilion.

She sat by the stove with Xiao Ti and King Min, father and son.

Shen Xu grew up in Yujing since he was a child, and it was rare to see such a big snow.

He excitedly said, "Let's go out for a snowball fight, shall we?" ”

Yu Yuanyu was not very interested: "You guys go play, I don't want to go." ”

Xiao Ti held her little hand and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you upset?"

Yu Yuanxuan: "I'm thinking about the people who have lost their land, how will they survive this winter?" ”

Snow is a fun thing for people who don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But for those who don't have enough to eat and wear, snow becomes a talisman.

Xiao Ti comforted: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me." ”

Three days later, Yu and Xiao Ti returned to Xingning in a carriage.

Going back with them were King Min and his son, Lu Luoguang, and Tang Guixi.

They set out early in the morning and arrived at Xingning at noon.

Lu Xiguang invited everyone to his house for dinner.

Xiao Ti happened to have something to talk to Lu Luoguang, so he agreed.

Since he is going, Yu Yuanyu will naturally go too.

Tang Guixi was going to go to Lu's house to discuss the marriage contract when she came to Xingning this time, so she also accepted Lu Yaoguang's invitation.

Shen Xu is a person who likes to join in the fun, and when he saw that everyone was gone, he also wanted to join in the fun.

So a large group of people went to the county guard's mansion.

The county guard's wife, Shu, was still worried about her son's affairs, and suddenly heard that the master had come back and brought back many distinguished guests, so she hurriedly freshened up and dressed up, and asked someone to notify Lu Yao so that Lu Yao could prepare in advance.

The newly dressed Shu Shi greeted the door and happily called the master.

Lu Luoguang introduced the identities of King Min's father and son and King Langjun and his wife one by one.

Shu Shi saluted one by one.

In the end, when it was Tang Guixi's turn, Shu Shi was stunned on the spot, and his face showed a strong look of surprise.

"Guixi, didn't you leave Liaodong County? When did you come back? ”

Tang Guixi: "I just came back not long ago. ”

Shu Shi saw that she was wearing a plain dress, without any jewelry on her body, and she did not rub a little fat powder on her face, and she was a little unhappy.

Shu was born in a famous family in Hexi, and his maternal cousin was a favored concubine by the emperor's side.

The ideal daughter-in-law in her heart should also be from a famous family, gentle and generous, knowledgeable, and good at managing the affairs of the back house, and be able to become her son's virtuous helper.

But Tang Guixi has nothing to do with the words "knowledgeable and reasonable" from top to bottom.

She was raised by Tang Pei as a boy since she was a child, she likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, and she has practiced good martial arts.

But she is Tang Pei's only daughter.

The Lu and Tang families are world friends, and this family affair has been decided a long time ago, and Lu Yaoguang needs Tang Pei's support very much.

Tang Pei is in charge of 100,000 Eastern Expeditionary Troops, as long as the two families can become in-laws, the power in Lu Yaoguang's hands and the deterrent power of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Lu Luoguang will be able to say nothing in Liaodong County in the future, and he will no longer have to look at the faces of those local heroes.

Therefore, no matter how much Shu dislikes Tang Guixi in his heart, he must let his son marry Tang Guixi.

Shu Shi took the initiative to hold Tang Guixi's hand and said softly.

"Why do you have gauze wrapped around your head? Is it hurt? Would you like to see a doctor? ”

Tang Guixi said that he was fine, just a little flesh wound, and he had already been medicated.

Lu Luoguang said to Shu Shi: "You go and let people prepare more good wine and food, and I will treat you guests well today." ”

Shu Shi said hello.

She had the opportunity to cultivate Tang Guixi's ability to take care of housework, so she said to Tang Guixi.

"Do you want to go to the kitchen with me?"

Tang Guixi bowed his head: "Okay." ”

Yu Yuanhuan hurriedly raised his hand: "I'm going too." ”

Her favorite place is the kitchen, and she doesn't know what is delicious in the kitchen of the county guard's house.

The princess of the county spoke, and Shu Shi naturally didn't dare not agree, so he hurriedly said.

"Let's go together, then."

The three of them were about to leave, when Lu Luoguang suddenly stopped Shu Shi and asked.

"What about Yunzhong? I just heard from the porter that he's back, why didn't I see anyone else? ”

Lu Luoguang has a son-in-law and two concubines, and he treats his three sons equally on weekdays, but on this important occasion of receiving distinguished guests, the first thing he thinks of is still his son-in-law.

Shu Shi naturally thought of this, and couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart.

She smiled and said, "Yun Zhong has not been very comfortable in the past two days, I asked him to rest in the house, and I have already asked someone to inform him, presumably he should come over soon." ”

Almost as soon as her words landed, the servant walked in to give her a report.

"Master Qiqi, Mrs., the eldest prince is here."

Lu Luoguang smiled and said, "Let him come in." ”

I haven't seen him for many years, he misses his eldest son very much, and he doesn't know what this child has grown up to be now?

When Lu Yao walked in, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on him.

Lu Yao bowed respectfully to Lu Yaoguang.

"The child meets his father."

Lu Luoguang found that his son had grown a lot taller, taller than him, but he was too thin, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Yunzhong, haven't you eaten well lately? How did you lose weight like this? ”

Lu Yao straightened up his upper body and was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly froze when he saw Tang Guixi.

He asked in disbelief as his eyes widened slowly.

"Angelica, why are you here?"
