Chapter 347: Marriage (1)
A few days later, Li Xiao of the Jiaodong Army personally came to the door and gave a generous gift.
In the first battle of Beihai County last year, Li Ji died tragically under the knife of Zhou Sui, and the soldiers of the Jiaodong Army were killed in the battle, and hundreds of them were seriously injured. After that, the vitality of the Jiaodong army was greatly damaged.
The imperial court issued a decree, and Li Xiao was promoted to three levels overnight and became the chief general of the Jiaodong Army. For more than half a year, Li Xiao has been recuperating from his injuries in the barracks, while repairing the team and recruiting new soldiers.
Today's Li Xiao has faded all his youthfulness, and his handsome face is more resolute and calm.
The King of Beihai came out in person and said happily, "General Li personally came to send a congratulatory gift, and he is really heartfelt."
Li Xiao arched his hand and smiled: "Beihai Wangfu has added a pair of dragons and phoenixes, such a happy event, I only hate myself for knowing it late."
Li Xiao was able to take over the Jiaodong Army smoothly, and Xu Jing in the capital contributed a lot. Li Xiao knows it in his heart and is very close to the Beihai Palace.
The king of Beihai deliberately left Li Xiao for lunch, and asked him to call his future son-in-law Zheng Xuanqing to accompany him.
Zheng Xuanqing and Li Xiao have a life-and-death relationship, are close in age, and have similar tempers. After lunch, Zheng Xuanqing squeezed his eyes at Li Xiao: "Since General Li has come to Beihai County, it is better to stay for a few days, and I will accompany General Li around."
Li Xiao also blinked and responded with a smile.
Beihai Wang Quan didn't see the two of them frowning, and instructed Zheng Xuanqing: "You take a few days off from the barracks, and accompany General Li for a few days."
As soon as Zheng Xuanqing heard the word leave, he smiled happily and immediately opened his mouth.
The King of the North Sea laughed it off.
Four sons-in-law, two scholars, and two generals. It doesn't matter if Zheng Xuanqing doesn't fall in love with progress, as long as he is good to his daughter.
Zheng Xuanqing happily took over the important errand of "accompanying General Li", and went to the barracks to take a five-day vacation.
When General Zheng found out, he had a headache and sighed to Mrs. Zheng, "Erlang's lazy temper, I'm afraid I can't change it."
Mrs. Zheng favored her son with one mouth: "Erlang is diligent and diligent every day, and occasionally takes a vacation, which is on the order of the prince to accompany General Li for a few days. Where are you lazy?"
General Zheng was pleased: "What kind of virtue does my son have, don't I know what kind of virtue I am as an old man? Every time General Li came to Beihai County, he went to Tonghua Lane. Where do you want him to accompany you? He is obviously lazy under this excuse, and he doesn't want to go on errands, so he runs to the palace all day long."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and glanced at her husband: "Erlang has been grinding for two years, and then he waited for the county gentleman to nod and marry, and he is happy in his heart, and it is good to go to the palace more to offer his courtesy." In the future, when they get married, they will live in harmony and affection, isn't it good? Even the prince acquiesced in his approval, and I don't know what you are rambling about all day."
General Zheng: "......"
Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as my old wife.
Ahh
Zheng Xuanqing sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered, "It must be my father who counted me behind my back again."
Li Xiao smiled: "Aren't you boasting about being diligent every day? What else is General Zheng dissatisfied with?"
Zheng Xuanqing grinned: "Lao Tzu looks at his son, how can he be satisfied. Ever since I was a child, my father has always looked at me unpleasantly, and he always scolds me when he sees him."
Li Xiao subconsciously took over the conversation: "My eldest brother is the same."
As soon as the word eldest brother came out, his heart suddenly became empty. ap.
His brother Li Ji has died on the battlefield. Now that he is reckless and impulsive, no one scolds him.
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red and he was silent.
When Zheng Xuanqing saw him like this, he knew that he remembered his brother who died tragically, and he felt a burst of pity in his heart. comforted in a low voice, "Zhou Sui was cut by a thousand knives, and after death, he will have to go to eighteen layers of hell. Brother Li should also be at ease in the spirit of heaven. Perhaps, Brother Li has been reincarnated and reincarnated as a human being."
Li Xiao snorted, turned his head to the side, and after a while, he turned around: "The prince of the world led the troops to quell the bandits in Qinghe County, do you have any news of the prince recently?"
Zheng Xuanqing changed the subject very cooperatively: "I have always had correspondence with Shizi. Two days ago, the prince wrote to me, showing off that he had a pair of children and became a father."
Li Xiao also
Some envy: "The prince married Miss Zhao Liu as the princess, it is really blessed."
Zheng Xuanqing leaned his elbow against Li Xiao and laughed in a low voice, "In a few months, I will also get married." How are you? When are you going to marry Wang Wei?"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed: "How can it be so easy. I wrote back to tell my mother, and my mother was furious and sent someone to the barracks to scold me."
Li Xiao's father died early, and there is a widowed mother and young sister in the old house. In the past, when Li Ji was alive, he restrained Li Xiao and forbade him to interact with Wang Wei. Now that Li Ji is gone, Li Xiao has become a general. Marrying a wife is such a lifelong event, and you can't bypass your own mother. As a result, as soon as I wrote back, I was scolded for being bloody.
Zheng Xuanqing's face was full of sympathy, and he patted Li Xiao on the shoulder: "Good things are grinding. Think about me, it took me two years to find the heart of a beauty. Don't be discouraged, only your heart is yours, and your mother will nod her head in agreement sooner or later."
Li Xiao cheered up and smiled, "I'm going to Tonghua Lane, do you want to go?"
"No, no!" Zheng Xuanqing simply refused: "I'll go to the palace to see my sister Guan."
Li Xiao was numbed with goosebumps all over his body, waved goodbye to Zheng Xuanqing, and went to see his sweetheart.
As soon as Li Xiao appeared in Tonghua Lane, several households in the alley closed their doors one after another.
Dozens of pro-soldiers were guarding inside and outside the alley, all with fierce faces, and ordinary people were terrified when they looked at them.
Li Xiao couldn't hold back his agitated mood and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly.
A familiar face appeared in front of him, and he smiled brightly.
Li Xiao's heart was hot, and he strode forward and stretched out his hand to hug Wang Wei.
The maid Lilac hurriedly went to close the door, and then took Wang Dalang and Wang Erlang to the house.
Li Xiao entered Wang Wei's boudoir and hugged her tightly.
Wang Wei pressed her face tightly against Li Xiao's chest.
On that day, Li Xiao was shocked to hear the bad news of his brother, and under the grief and anger, he led the troops to pursue Zhou Sui and his group. As a result, he was carried back covered in injuries.
She took care of Li Xiao by the bed for more than half a month, serving to drink medicine, scrub and change clothes, even husband and wife. In her heart, Li Xiao has long been her husband.
Later, Li Xiao's injuries gradually improved, and he was able to stay and move around, so he received the order of the imperial court and returned to the military camp to become a general. In the past six months, Li Xiao has secretly come to see her twice. Li Xiao is keeping filial piety for his brother, otherwise, the two of them are afraid that they will not be able to control it for a long time......
"I haven't been here in days." With the beauty in his arms, all the emptiness in his heart was filled, Li Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and laughed in a low voice, "Did you miss me?"
Wang Wei was not ashamed, and nodded emphatically: "Yes, every day."
