Xu Du, the inner city mansion where Xu Zhen originally lived.

A carriage stopped in front of the door, and two guards stood outside the carriage, also driven by a sword-wielding guard with calloused hands.

A woman came out of it, small and delicate, with a delicate and lovely face, and asked softly, "Haven't you come yet?" ”

"I didn't come, but after hearing the news today, I really didn't die."

"The prince has a big life, not only did he not die, but he also caught the assassin and interrogated the origin, it was Shouchun Yuan Shu who wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven, and now it seems that many grievances have been put aside for the time being, and Jin Wuwei has re-guarded the imperial city, and is no longer transferred from the army to serve as an internal guard."

"Yes!"

The maid lowered the curtain and entered the carriage with a smile on the woman, "Miss, you haven't come yet." ”

"It's okay, Ah Qing, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, in short, I must see Xu Bowen today, he will return home no matter how he disperses."

Cai Wenji laughed softly, her face was quite calm.

She is a little thin, her shoulders are very round, so her skeleton looks slender like willow, she likes to wear reddish robes, slim and light, so she looks quite thin in winter.

The hair is simply tied on the head, the face is slightly powdered, the complexion is quite white, the lips are very thin, the Confucian breath is very good, and he is good at music.

Whether it is her own preferences or her experience over the years, she has added an elegant and self-reliant temperament to this woman with a scholarly rhythm like a carving knife.

Many times, she seems gentle and quiet, but she is a strong and unyielding woman at heart.

Over the years, in the place where the Cao family is, she has seen the peace and wealth that Chang'an, Luoyang and other places have never had, and she is very safe in her heart.

In her cognition, the beginning of all this tranquility was actually not all Cao Gong, such as the strategy of tuntian, irrigation vessels, and improved quyuan plows, all of which came from Xu Zhen's hands.

Now the self-discipline style of all the officials under Cao's command, the bottom line of diligence and love for the people, also comes from Xu Zhen.

The more she learned about these deeds, the more curious she became about Xu Zhen.

Then it was rejected nineteen times.

In Cai Wenji's opinion, the twentieth time is an integer, and it is impossible to refuse.

So half an hour later.

"Miss Wen Ji," standing outside the carriage was the gentle Cao Ang, bowing his hands and being very respectful.

Cai Wenji didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and bowed slightly to Cao Ang.

"Brother Bowen, I've already gone to Chenliu."

"What?!" Cai Wenji's face was a little red, after all, she was bumped into by Cao Ang, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that she didn't wait?!

Is this bastard - is this Taishou so anxious?!

Isn't the winter disaster already arranged?! What if you go back now?! Isn't it better to sleep at home?!

"I'm ashamed," Cao Ang raised his hand again, turned to the other side with an elegant bearing, raised his eyes into the distance, and sighed: "Brother once had someone tell him about his family affairs, and now he is admitted to the hospital just when he goes to Chenliu." ”

"In addition, my brother was diligent in government affairs and had no time to start a family for many years, but now he has a good person to take care of him in the hospital, so I am naturally happy for him."

"After all, my father married my sister to Brother Bowen, but my sister is only eight years old now, and it will be several years before she gets married."

"That woman is willing to be a concubine, regardless of this ceremony, it can be regarded as a general knowledge, and she went to her brother to go, and I will go over to congratulate you after I finish handling the official duties of Jinwu."

"If Miss Wen Ji has an old relationship with her brother, can she go with her?"

Cai Wenji was already in a daze from the time Cao Ang said the second sentence.

Although he was shocked, he was still unconvinced.

I'll come first, right?

Twenty times.

I haven't seen you once, and now you're going to take a concubine?!

But I have nothing to be angry about, after all, I have only met him a few times, and I can only speak under the introduction of Cao Gong.

And every time, Xu Bowen left directly after eating, and he didn't even refuse to say a few polite words, he didn't have the elegant demeanor of the scholar at all, but was an extremely pragmatic person.

If I remember correctly, I have the best piano music in the world in my life, and Xu Bowen is afraid that he has never even heard a note!

Even cattle grazing outside have heard of it!

"Miss Wen Ji? Cai everyone? ”

Cao Ang arched his hand and asked a few words.

He still has a lot of respect for Cai Wenji, after all, his father taught that this woman is a talented woman with a high heart and arrogance, and after Cai Yong's death, she carried her family property and walked in the troubled times and came east.

During this period, all the family favors were abandoned, and only Cao's kindness was accepted.

stayed in Juancheng, and then followed and moved to Xudu.

Women are self-reliant, survive in troubled times, and do not seek the protection of men, which is worthy of respect.

Besides, Cao Ang is still a few years younger than her, if Cao Cao has to repay Cai Yong's style recommendation and teaching and admiration, it will not be too much for him to call Sister A.

"Thank you for your kindness," Cai Yan immediately came back to his senses, bowed to Cao Ang, his face returned to coldness, no longer stunned, and said, "I'll go to Chenliu to pay a visit." ”

"Oh."

It was as if he was gritting his teeth.

This Miss Wen Ji also seems to have some affection for her brother, mainly because when Cao Ang was present, she remembered six or seven times when she directly refused to meet.

My brother is also ruthless.

These few times, even if you make up some reasons, they are all directly saying that they are busy with official business.

Isn't this like scolding others for being idle?

"I sent dozens of tigers and leopards to escort Cai's family."

Cao Ang immediately gave up his hand and said with a smile: "These dozens of people are all old acquaintances of Brother Bowen, and he will definitely come to see them." ”

Cai Yan was so smart, he immediately understood Cao Ang's intentions, his pretty face was slightly red, his face was a little uncomfortable, and he whispered: "Then thank you to the eldest son." ”

……

Chen Liu.

The city gate was wide open, Dong visited the civil and military officials, and celebrities from all over the country were waiting outside to greet them.

After Xu Zhen came, he immediately trotted all the way to greet him.

Getting off the carriage, Xu Zhen walked with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhuge Liang, while Jia Xu subconsciously stood backwards and walked in the back row surrounded by guards.

No one paid attention to him for a while, so he hid in the shadows and could observe the people around him.

"Prince, Prince!! The villain wants to kill you! ”

Dong Wan's face was full of flattery, his mustache was slightly swaying, his smile was as bright as a flower, his face was wrinkled, and his eyes were almost slit.

He was not tall, and he was hunched up, and after he arrived in front of Xu Zhen, he walked with his waist bent, "The villain has learned in advance that he has scattered the gold and silver property to the people, but he has placed books in the house, mostly ancient books, battle strategies, military book formation diagrams, and so on. ”

"But don't worry, these are by no means gifts to be received, most of them are captured during wartime, or purchased from vendors when they are patrolling around the country, and they are not gifts."

"In addition, the concubine has settled in the house, and it is difficult to achieve the six rites in the troubled times, everything has been simplified, but fortunately, the family knows the general situation and has not been embarrassed by this."

"Don't you dare? Did you lead troops to intimidate? ”

Xu Zhen frowned suddenly.

"No, no!" Dong Wan hurriedly waved his hand, glanced at Xu Zhen helplessly, and said, "Originally, I was going to go in the spring this year, didn't the prince already make an agreement at that time?!" ”

"As a result, this year's war is together, and the prince went to Yuzhou to lead the troops, how can the army march and fight can do this kind of thing of children's affection? The woman's family has already been ridiculed by those who should have been ridiculed in the local area. ”

"Even the prince did not come for a long time, Xuande Gong also led the troops to Yuzhou to help, many local don't drive, the children of the scholar clan, are ready to marry, it is she herself who let the family make it clear, even if the prince does not return to the war, she should also guard for the prince for several years until there is no way to avoid it."

"I see!"

Xu Zhen suddenly felt guilty in his heart, Xiaopei Ganmei is really a good person in the world, and a woman who can say such things naturally has a unique charm.

And this year, Xu Zhen did not have time to go to Xiaopei to marry, at that time, the troops were too fast, and he had to rush before many royalist generals moved first, plus Xu Zhen also went to Runan to find Xu Chu one step in advance.

Later, when Xu Chu arrived, everything was naturally pushed forward closely.

Until he received the Son of Heaven to welcome him to Xudu, because of his busy official duties, he slept peacefully during the day and brushed his life, and read books at night to see and understand his ambitions.

I forgot about it.

"That's what I owe her!"

Xu Zhen took a deep breath, his heart was quite moved, and he immediately said: "Then, go to the house immediately, I am not subject to the gifts of relatives and friends, can the captain do one more thing for me." ”

"Prince, please speak!"

Dong Wan is simply unwanted, what he is most afraid of now is that after Xu Zhen arrives, he will be marginalized.

Because of the last incident, it actually angered Xu Zhen, and then wrote a letter to complain, and within a few days, he was scolded by his brother with a slap on his head and face.

And the elder brother personally dispersed the family property, scraped together enough money and sent it to Chen Liulai, so that Dong Wan could continue to buy war horses, and now he has successively collected more than 800 horses.

fulfilled Xu Zhen's expectations at that time, but the elder brother said that a thousand horses are a thousand horses.

Half a little bit is indispensable.

Xu Zhen said: "Please let the whole city celebrate, find a red carpet for me, and welcome me with joy, although it is a troubled time, some rituals are indispensable." ”

As for ancestor worship, forget it.

I can't find the ancestors of the Xu family who are older than this age, and it's not good to sacrifice indiscriminately.

"Alas, the villain still thinks something is going on...... Dong Wan immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It has already been arranged." ”

"All the people in the house are happy to congratulate each other, the people in the city have many conveniences, and they distribute food to celebrate, and in the inner city, there is a big feast, and the prince can know that the feasts set up by the people in the outer city are all set up by their own homes."

"Why do you want to swing?" Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, he knew that he was popular, but it shouldn't have reached that point yet, right?

"Isn't the charm of a prince here, but with such an identity, he has never been arrogant in getting along with the people, and with a body of 2,000 stones, how many people can he personally cultivate?"

"Whether it is cultivating farmland or building water conservancy, the prince has always been the first to take the lead, so who doesn't love it?"

"The real parents and officials, but so, in the next lie, in the hearts of the people, such as the parents of the officials to get married, naturally to celebrate, and the local rumors also understand the situation of the prince and the marquis, the wife has already been set as the daughter of the commonplace, this is the creation of the commonplace, if the rest of the women can be matched, it is also a beautiful talk."

"Oh, oh......"

Xu Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

Before...... In fact, I only think about brushing self-discipline values, brushing attributes, and brushing political achievements.

In fact, it was not all for the people, he even felt that he was a selfish person, strict with himself in order to survive.

Let them live too, but at this moment, I feel extremely peaceful in my heart.

"Then you can drink tonight, right?"

Dian Wei suddenly interjected.

"All-you-can-drink!"

Xu Zhen glanced back at him.

The camp immediately entered the city, and was loved and celebrated by the people in the outer city, and after arriving in the inner city, there was still a guard of honor to greet them, until they were in the government office, and they saw the red carpet spread outside.

The banquet was outside the street and extended to the government office, and after Xia Houen came in advance, he understood the reason for the matter, and arranged it with Dong Wan.

After Xu Zhen dismounted, he was immediately accompanied by a maidservant to wash, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two guards in chief, naturally became the master to help Zhang Luo's guests.

Xu Chu is not well known to many people, but Dian Wei became famous in Wancheng, coupled with the accumulation of many years of military exploits, every time he enters the battlefield, he must fight bravely, and his exploits are numerous.

How tall the two are, one fierce, the other majestic, each with their own momentum, is that everyone present admires them, congratulates them with a smile, and knows them by drinking.

From this evening to the first half of the night, Xu Zhen was accompanied by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xia Houen and others, and he didn't need to drink much wine, and then went to the backyard of the government office with the guards.

When he arrived at the door, Xu Zhen took Zhuge Liang's hand, pointed to the door of the backyard, and said: "From today on, you live in the middle courtyard, open the door here at the hour, and close the door here with me at night." ”

Zhuge Liang: "......"

"Prince, you get married today, will you ...... tomorrow?"

"Call me as usual."

Xu Zhen said firmly: "Don't do it for personal reasons, tomorrow before the New Year, kill pigs and sheep, and I can take care of political affairs again." ”

"Whoa."

The few people who followed looked at each other a few times, and their faces were quite helpless, but Dong Wan's face was full of reverence.

My brother is right, this prince will definitely not stop here in the future, such a person who adheres to self-discipline is endlessly charming, and I don't know how many people are willing to follow him.

Among the many famous ministers of the Cao family, there is Xun Wenruo, who can support the sky and lean into himself, and Guo and Xi, who are dissolute and drunk.

There are also Xun Gongda, who is strategizing and good at military strategy.

There is also this strange man Xu Bowen, who is self-disciplined and self-reliant all the time, and gradually grows up, he has become stronger and stronger compared to the beginning of the year, and every time he follows the latter, he will be impressed by his charm.

This kind of bearing will not be an ordinary mastermind in the future. I am afraid that it is the pillar of Cao's backer.

After Dong Zhao made this evaluation, he let Dong Wan not believe it at first, and then gradually questioned it slightly, and then looked at it at this moment, he felt more and more that his brother was wise, this person could not be offended, and even if the thousand war horses scattered their wealth, they would find it worthwhile.

"The will of the prince is rare to see through the ages, so the villain will prepare and meet each other early tomorrow."

"Good!"

……

That night, Xu Zhen accompanied the maid to the dormitory.

Open the wooden door and enter, only to walk inward on the delicately polished wooden floor.

I saw a woman dressed in red sitting on the bed, one side of the window was ajar, and the moonlight was splashing, as if reflecting the skin, lining her like white jade.

Xu Zhen's mind drifted slightly.

"Ma'am."

When the woman heard this, she immediately looked at the door, her makeup was quite solemn, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were like fog.

At this time, facing Xu Zhen's eyes, his heartbeat was much faster.

"Husband."

Xu Zhen approached slowly, came with wine and food, and ate with him.

In this era, in fact, there is no red hijab, and weddings tend to be solemn and serious in the inner room.

The hijab should be formed after the celebration is later.

According to the ritual, after the prayer, it is time to be alone and look at each other.

"Husband, if you are not satisfied, the concubine should obey herself, from today on, the concubine will take care of the husband's left and right, and take care of the king."

"I look forward to spreading branches and leaves for my husband and revitalizing the prosperity of the family; Guarding the way set by the husband, there is no heart that exceeds the rules, the inner mind, the outer hair, are all for the husband. ”

Xu Zhen looked at her gentle words, only to feel that her mind gradually became active, and Gan Mei was so emotional, holy and quiet, dignified and elegant.

But her face is gorgeous and charming, as if she was born like this, such a sense of contrast, which makes Xu Zhen feel that she is angry, but not angry.

I just want to sing a goose with my wife.

Just sighed: "Let the lady wait for a long time." ”

"Then don't wait any longer."

Gan Mei bowed her head slightly and said softly.

His face was already red and delicate.

In her heart, she was also a little apprehensive.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Xu Zhen, not only did some people in the family say that Xu Zhen was ugly, after all, he was born poor and reckless...... And his appearance and temperament are beyond imagination......

Talent and martial arts are still so good.

And I did wait an extra year......

Xu Zhen was stunned, and then his pace sped up.

"Good, good, good......"
