In this era, three wives and four concubines were legal.

Zhou Qiang never thought about marrying only one daughter-in-law.

A man with ability, who is not a man with three wives and four concubines. (It's the same in later generations, it's normal to have a wife at home and a few lovers outside.) It's not illegal anyway, it's just immoral. ）

In Bailu Village, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin only married one daughter-in-law, but they had limited conditions and did not dare to marry more.

Now, Zhou Qiang's condition is to marry five or six daughters-in-law, which is normal and deserved.

Therefore, Tian Xiao'e is going to marry.

In "White Deer Plain", Tian Xiao'e's life is very bad.

was first sold by Tian Xiucai to an elderly Guo Juren, who was a martial artist, not a Wenju person.

On the way to sell it, it was robbed by bandits and taken to the mountains.

Although Tian Xiao'e is a weak woman, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she has a strong temperament, so she forced her to die, did not let the bandits bully, and successfully married to Guo Ju's family.

But Guo Juren is too old, and he is powerless in the affairs of men and women, and he bought Tian Xiao'e not for the sake of inheritance, but for other things.

Guo Juren also often beat and tortured Tian Xiao'e to satisfy her perverted desires.

Tian Xiao'e's days were gorgeous on the surface, but when she took off her clothes, she was left with bruises all over her body.

After that, Heiwa came to Guo Ju's family as a long-term worker.

Tian Xiao'e hooked up with Heiwa, but she didn't have a good life.

finally followed Heiwa to Bailu Village, but was disgusted by Bai Jiaxuan and was not allowed to live in Bailu Village.

You can only take shelter in a broken kiln outside the village.

However, after not being stable for a few days, Tian Xiao'e began a more tragic fate, and was finally stabbed to death by Lu San.

In the old days, there were many women like Tian Xiao'e.

Society is still progressing.

Some bloody social phenomena are much less.

Gossip aside, let's get down to business.

Tian Xiao'e, Zhou Qiang is definitely going to marry.

In addition, this Wang Zhuang, the daughter of Wang Ju's family, if it is not bad, will also marry.

Zhou Qiang just thought of this, and suddenly felt uneasy, as if he was in trouble marrying the daughter of Wang Ju's family.

Zhou Qiang said: "These two girls are good, you all bothered." ”

"It should." The two matchmakers smiled, all their hard work was finally in vain, and the twenty oceans of happy money were about to arrive.

"What do they want at home?" Zhou Qiang asked quietly.

"There's no request, Tian Xiao'e and her father will ask for a hundred yuan as a bride price." Mrs. Li spoke first.

"The bride price is good, this Tian Xiao'e looks good, what is the situation in her family?"

"Tian Xiucai's family is in Tianjia Village, outside the Guan, and there are several brick kilns at home" Under Zhou Qiang's detailed inquiry, Mrs. Li explained the situation of Tian Xiucai's family clearly.

"Boss Zhou, I won't hide it from you, Tian Xiucai's family shouldn't have much dowry." Although Mrs. Li didn't meet Tian Xiucai much, she still figured out who Tian Xiu was.

"The dowry is nothing." Zhou Qiang didn't care, "This Tian Xiao'e sounds good, and she can be regarded as the daughter of a scholarly family, I have taken a fancy to this woman." Next, do what you have to do. ”

"Okay, okay, congratulations to Boss Zhou." Mrs. Li immediately smiled.

"Haha." Zhou Qiang smiled heartily, "You go to Lao Fan to lead twenty oceans." The rest of the matter will also be done with Lao Fan. ”

"Okay, Boss Xie Zhou!" Mrs. Li left with a smug face. When I left, I also looked at Mrs. Zhang, who didn't speak.

Zhou Qiang looked at Mrs. Zhang and didn't speak.

"This." Mrs. Zhang hesitated, "Boss Zhou, Wang Juren has a request." ”

"Say."

"That's it, Wang Juren's second son wants to do business with you."

"Oh? What kind of business do you do? ”

"It's that artichoke stick, and the Wang family also wants to open an artichoke strip shop." Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang was a little weak-hearted.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what Wang Juren's request means.

Zhou Qiang didn't have a smile on his face, he smiled coldly, "I'm afraid that not only to open a store, but also to want my formula, right?" ”

"It can't be." Mrs. Zhang said weakly.

"Humph!" Zhou Qiang snorted coldly and turned his face directly, "I can't afford to climb this woman from the king's family." Go out, don't come in the future! ”

"Oh, wronged, Boss Zhou, I'm just passing on a word." Mrs. Zhang also wanted to explain a few words.

But Zhou Qiang didn't give her a chance, so the guards outside directly set up Mrs. Zhang and threw her out.

Zhou Qiang didn't believe that Mrs. Zhang was wronged.

Mrs. Zhang must have accepted Wang Ju's things. Just now, I kept saying good things about Wang Ju's family.

This is to join forces with Wang Juren to harm him.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and there are always people who want to harm me!

In this era, marriage requires three books and six ceremonies.

However, because Tianjia Village is too far away from Bailu Village.

In terms of etiquette, there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

It didn't take long.

Zhou Qiang took the bride price and set off to Tianjia Village.

Riding a tall horse, he was followed by thirty guards, all with guns, and several carriages, which contained gifts.

They were very fast.

It didn't take long to go down to Bailuyuan.

A few hours later.

They stopped to rest and eat some dry food by the way.

At this time, a guard named Zhang Biao walked up to Zhou Qiang.

Zhang Biao is the captain of Zhou Qiang's escort team.

Zhang Biao is tall, strong, proficient in martial arts, good marksmanship, his home is in Bailu Plain, and he is loyal to Zhou Qiang.

"Boss, if you go any further, you will pass by the Stone Forest."

"Stone Forest? I heard that there are a lot of bandits here? ”

"Yes, boss, do you want to send a few to the front to investigate?"

"It's time to investigate, arrange for someone to go, let me be careful."

"Yes!" Zhang Biao immediately arranged for someone to go to the front to see the situation.

Three lean lads rode to the front, and one of them was particularly monkey-like.

After a while.

The three of them returned.

Report directly to Zhou Qiang, "Boss, I didn't find anything unusual before." ”

"It's good if you don't have it, and let's go." Zhou Qiang didn't sense that there was an ambush ahead.

Zhou Qiang and his entourage passed through the stone forest smoothly.

On a hillside about five miles from the Stone Forest.

There were a few strong men who saw Zhou Qiang and them over.

"Big boss, they're over." A minion whispered.

"Well, they are welcoming their relatives, and in a few days, they will pass by here when they pick up their daughter-in-law." The big boss answered. He was a scar-faced bearded man, with a sturdy build, two box cannons pinned to his waist, and a mountain knife behind his back.

Zhou Qiang and the others rushed to Tianjia Village outside the Guanwai.

They were lucky not to encounter bandits again.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

"The people in Kannai are here, and the kisses are coming!"

As soon as they entered Tianjia Village, the villagers all came to watch.

They had already heard that Tian Xiucai was going to sell his daughter.

Soon came to Tian Xiucai's house.

Tian Xiucai had already come out, and a smile bloomed on his face.

The bride price has been received in advance.

Not a hundred oceans, but a hundred and twenty.

A lot of money is used by Tian Xiucai to purchase things.

Although Tian Xiucai was greedy for money, he didn't save too much, and he still bought a lot of things.

The house looks festive.

Zhou Qiang dismounted and saluted.

Some etiquette still needs to be there.

Tian Xiucai warmly welcomed Zhou Qiang in.

It didn't take long.

"It's time to eat!" Tian Xiucai's family set up a lot of tables and found a cook to cook.

Tian Xiucai's family is going to hold a banquet.

Zhou Qiang and his entourage took their seats.

And the neighbors of Tianjia Village also came.

The meals were plentiful.

The scene quickly became lively.

Tian Xiao'e listened quietly in the room.

She's getting married.

She was somewhat uneasy.

She just heard who Zhou Qiang was, but she hadn't seen it, and she was always nervous.

Curious, Tian Xiao'e quietly walked to the window and secretly looked out.

In the crowd, Tian Xiao'e saw Zhou Qiang at a glance.

Zhou Qiang is the most dazzling one among all people.

A smile appeared on Tian Xiao'e's face.

Zhou Qiang's figure and appearance, Tian Xiao'e is very satisfied.

Tian Xiucai did not follow Zhou Qiang.

Tianjia Village is too far from Bailuyuan.

It's too inconvenient to go there.

Not to mention that there are bandits on the road.

At the time of parting, Tian Xiucai couldn't help but take a few more glances at Tian Xiao'e.

Tian Xiucai is greedy for money, but the daughter who has been raised for more than ten years has become someone else's family, and Tian Xiucai is still a little reluctant.

"Father-in-law, in a few days, I will bring Xiao'e over to see you." Zhou Qiang didn't just talk about it. He has the ability to bring Tian Xiao'e here.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you just treat Xiao'e better, don't use it, it's too far, it's inconvenient." Tian Xiucai was a little submissive in front of Zhou Qiang.

The people brought by Zhou Qiang, thirty guards, thirty horses, and thirty spears!

At a glance, you can see that Zhou Qiang is not an ordinary person.

"Dad, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself." Tian Xiao'e couldn't help crying.

She is married, and I don't know when she will come back.

The daughter who marries out, spills the water.

If you get married, you won't be the Tian family.

After that, it will be Zhou Tian's.

Zhou Qiang rode a high-headed horse.

In the carriage behind, Tian Xiao'e sat and a teenage maid named Xiao Tao.

This maid was bought by Zhou Qiang and used as a personal maid for Tian Xiao'e.

Tian Xiao'e lifted the curtain from time to time to look at Zhou Qiang.

After walking for a while, I also had contact with Zhou Qiang.

Tian Xiao'e had a smile on her face.

She can feel that Zhou Qiang is very good and a good man.

Didn't marry the wrong person.

When I stopped to rest again.

Zhou Qiang got into the carriage and ate with Tian Xiao'e.

The maid Xiaotao went out to eat.

"Come, Xiao'e, eat a bowl of steamed buns." Zhou Qiang and the others brought a lot of food, as well as pots and stoves, and it was convenient to eat.

Tian Xiao'e nodded slightly, took it, turned sideways, seemed a little shy, and her face was flushed.

Zhou Qiang said a few words casually, didn't stay in the carriage long, and went out to eat and drink.

At this time, Zhang Biao came over.

"Boss, someone has been sent to the front to investigate. The sixth and a few of them found that there were many footprints nearby. ”

"Oh? Someone in front of you in an ambush? Zhou Qiang looked forward with cold eyes.

Zhou Qiang had already sensed the murderous aura in front of him.

About fifty or sixty men, in ambush in front.

Obviously, there are bandits who are eyeing Zhou Qiang and them.

"It felt like there was someone, but I didn't find it." Zhang Biao's face was serious. According to the information from the investigation, I could feel that something was wrong, but I couldn't find where the bandits were ambushing.

"Didn't find it?" Zhou Qiang squinted and looked into the distance, "In this way, let the sixth and a few of them go over there to have a look, it's easy to hide people over there." Remember, don't go straight to the past, go around from behind. ”

"Understood." Zhang Biao immediately understood what Zhou Qiang meant.

They have a map of the area. The direction that Zhou Qiang said is a place where it is easy to hide people.

It's just that I'm a little unfamiliar with this area, so there are some places that can't be detected just now.

The five quietly left.

There was no horseback riding.

Zhou Qiang continued to eat and drink.

Everyone is also eating and resting.

A moment later.

"Boss, I found the bandits, they are in "Lao Liu is like a monkey, short, very thin, but very flexible, a clever guy.

"Touch them and kill them." Zhou Qiang ordered casually.

Killing bandits like this has been done more than once. They're all familiar with the road.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao and Lao Liu prepared a little, did not ride a horse, and quietly touched it.

It didn't take long.

Crackling gunshots rang out.

Tian Xiao'e hurriedly opened the curtain and looked at Zhou Qiang with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, it's okay, there are a few blind guys in front, and it will be dealt with quickly." Zhou Qiang comforted a few words, "Do you still eat steamed buns?" And here's more. ”

"Don't eat it." Tian Xiao'e had a lot less worry on her face.

Another moment passed.

More than a dozen horses rushed towards Zhou Qiang.

"Huh? Bandits still dare to rush over? Zhou Qiang was a little strange.

It stands to reason that the bandits were counter-sneak attacked, they should flee in a hurry, how dare they trouble Zhou Qiang?

Zhou Qiang didn't think much about it, picked up a spear at random, and took a few steps forward.

"Smack!" A bandit fell off his horse.

"Smack! Smack! "There are bandits who have been knocked off their horses by Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang's marksmanship is very good.

Fighting bandits is like having fun.

Within a few clicks, more than a dozen bandits were knocked off their horses by Zhou Qiang.

The guards around Zhou Qiang didn't have a chance to shoot.

"The boss is mighty!"

"The boss is amazing!"

"The boss is a good shot!"

"The boss is invincible!"

The guards couldn't help but applaud.

Tian Xiao'e also looked at Zhou Qiang blankly.

When Zhou Qiang was shooting, Tian Xiao'e heard the movement, lifted the curtain, and saw Zhou Qiang shooting.

I also saw Zhou Qiang shoot one by one, so far away, he knocked down the bandits in the distance.

At this moment, another horse rider approached in the distance.

"Boss, it's our turn this time!" Someone rushed to fight the bandits.

"What's the hurry, do you see clearly? That's Zhang Biao and Lao Liu! Zhou Qiang reprimanded.

"What? Captain, they're coming? Isn't that no bandits? "The people guarding Zhou Qiang's side have no chance to fight bandits.

Zhou Qiang's rewards and punishments here are clear.

Kill a bandit and reward a piece of the ocean.

If you don't have a chance to fight bandits, you will earn less money.

"Those bandits, count them as you." Zhou Qiang said.

"Thank you, boss!"

Zhang Biao and Lao Liu, they came over.

"Boss, are you alright?" Although he knew that it was okay, Zhang Biao hurriedly asked.

"It's fine. Did you catch a live mouth? What's the way? Zhou Qiang asked.

"I've already asked, it's a bandit from the nearby Bald Head Ridge." Zhang Biao replied first, then walked up to Zhou Qiang and whispered, "Boss, there are still a few people from Wangzhuang among the bandits."

He was the guard of Wang Ju's family.

It was they who leaked our news and found bandits to ambush us. ”

"Oh? The guards of the Wang Ju family? It seems that Wang Juren didn't plan to let me go? Zhou Qiang said coldly.

A few days ago, Zhou Qiang rejected the daughter of Wang Ju's family.

I thought it would be fine.

Unexpectedly, Wang Juren set his sights on Zhou Qiang and wanted to kill Zhou Qiang through bandits and swallow Zhou Qiang's business.

"What should the boss do?"

Zhou Qiang thought for a while and asked, "Can you find evidence?" ”

"Yes. A few live mouths have been caught. I heard that there are still letters, and the ocean sent by Wang Juren, all of which are in the bandits' den. ”

"Okay, send a few people to send the bandits captured alive and the Wang family guards to the provincial capital to find the governor's mansion" Zhou Qiang decided to report to the official to solve the problem.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao took the order and left.

In the past few years, Zhou Qiang has still met many powerful people.

By having a few encounters with Governor Zhang and giving heavy gifts, I still got to know a few powerful figures.

Wang Juren's relationship is at most from Zishui County.

It shouldn't be difficult for Zhou Qiang to find someone from the provincial city to clean up Wang Juren.

It didn't take long.

Zhou Qiang: They continued to set off.

When passing through the stone forest, I found bandits again.

However, the bandits found this time were all inadequate, with few guns and not many people.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a nearby farmer.

They usually farm, and occasionally come out to be bandits.

"Uncle spare your life!" After a few shots, the bandits fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

The total number of bandits is more than a dozen.

However, they also arrested a few people who were passing by.

"Help, we are" Several people who were captured by the bandits hurriedly shouted for help.

"Send the bandits to the government, and let everyone else go." Zhou Qiang commanded casually.

White Deer Plain.

It's finally here.

On the way, two groups of bandits were encountered.

were all sent away by Zhou Qiang.

"Xiao'e, you stay here first." Zhou Qiang settled Tian Xiao'e well.

Zhou Qiang in Bailu Town has another house, and he did not directly let him live in Zhou's house.

There's another big one tomorrow.

Next.

Zhou Qiang had a huge wedding.

Zhou Qiang rode a high-headed horse, wearing a red body, a champion hat, and a black robe and horse coat, looking very energetic.

He was followed by fifty or sixty people, all of them in new clothes.

There are also eight large sedan chairs.

There is also a gong and drum corps.

There are also a lot of dowry boxes, and so on.

The sound of firecrackers has not stopped.

The scene is too entrenched.

The onlookers were envious.

"Look at the bride!" The children followed around.

picked up Tian Xiao'e, did not go back to Zhou's house directly, but went around the village a few times.

There were a lot of people coming, seventy or eighty tables of the banquet, and many people couldn't sit down.

The chef alone invited a lot.

The fairy grass and the others also came to help.

Bai Jiaxuan, Lu Zilin, and Lu San were also busy.

Heiwa, Bai Xiaowen, and Lu Zhaopeng ran around and joined in the fun.

Storytellers, singers, bands, all of them.

Such a big wedding has not been seen in Bailu Plain for a hundred years.

"Jiaxuan, this week Qiang is really rich!" Lu Zilin looked envious.

"That's Xiaoqiang's ability. This family business was all earned by Xiaoqiang himself. He's better than us! Although Bai Jiaxuan also envied Zhou Qiang, he understood that these were all Zhou Qiang's hard work.

"The new daughter-in-law is here!"

"One sprinkled gold, two sprinkled silver, and three sprinkled daughter-in-law entered the door."

Tian Xiao'e was married back home in a beautiful way.

At this moment, Tian Xiao'e felt a little dreamy.

Such a wedding scene, Tian Xiao'e never dreamed.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

"Send to the cave!"

"It's time to eat!"

Candle night in the cave room.

Tian Xiao'e enjoyed happiness.

Zhou Qiang suddenly felt that he had an obligation to let more women like Tian Xiao'e enjoy happiness.
