Yang Yan's words made Ouyang Xuan even more embarrassed, and his heart was very messy at the moment. It is said that he gave full authority to Lu Dezhi to negotiate with Yang Wen about the wedding, and he never asked. When this went wrong, I am afraid that Yang Wen and Lu De were negligent. Anyway, with Cui'er present, he was even ashamed to untie his clothes, let alone perform Zhou Gong's salute in front of her. At that moment, he said to Yang Yan with a straight face: "On the night of the candles in our cave room, let's let Cui'er go out."

Before Yang Yan could answer, Cui'er, who heard this, cried even louder, from the original low sobbing to a heart-rending cry, but the voice was not loud, and it seemed that she was also trying to suppress her crying. Of course, Ouyang Xuan wasn't worried about someone outside. The rules of the Yang Mansion are extremely strict, and no one dares to listen to the room on the wedding night of the eldest lady. It is not necessary to say that if a wedding is held in the Thunderbolt Army, it is not necessarily, let's not talk about the problem of whether the room is separated from the sound, take Cao Ergou as an example, it is one thing to respect Brother Xuan'er, but it is another thing to make trouble in the cave room.

Yang Yan walked to Cui'er's side, first comforted her, and then said to Ou Xuanyang: "Brother Xuan'er, this is your fault......." As a personal maid, Cui'er and Yang Yan have a very good relationship, although they are masters and servants, they are sisters, and they are close friends in the boudoir. Yang Yan and Ouyang Xuan made a marriage contract, and she was secretly happy in her heart, because this was not only Yang Yan's marriage event, but also her marriage event. Because according to custom, Miss married Ouyang Xuan, and as a maid, she also had to marry her. This Cui'er is also one of Yang Yan's dowries.

In fact, this custom exists not only in Miaojiang, but also in Han China. Especially at present, there are frequent wars in Sichuan, and many young and middle-aged people have died in battle, resulting in more women than men. The land requires labour, and in the current state of productivity, only men can do the heavy work of farming, so the policy of the Perak Army, while monogamy is promoted, does not prohibit concubinage. Ouyang Xuan also knew that the official eunuch family had a common house, and these people either bought it or married it. In the eyes of Yang Yan and Cui'er, everything seemed to be taken for granted. On the one hand, the concept is deep-rooted, and on the other hand, marrying Ou Xuanyang is at least safe for food and clothing.

To say that love is selfish, both men and women want to monopolize all love, and Yang Yan is no exception. She knew that Ouyang Xuan really liked herself, but the custom was like this, how could she resist, the dignitaries including her father, who didn't have three wives and four concubines? If he marries another woman as a concubine, it is better to include Cui'er, and he also has a confidant to speak. Besides, the Yang family has always been scarce, if he didn't give birth to a son to inherit the lineage, who would take over Ouyang Xuanyouda's family business? If Cui'er gave birth to a son and a half for Ouyang Xuan, the mother would be more expensive than the son, and she would get rid of the status of a slave and maid, and she would definitely be accepted as a concubine. Cui'er is kind-hearted and loves herself and sisters, and she will definitely not have trouble with herself. It's a win-win for both herself and Cui'er.

In Ouyang Xuan's concept, marriage is a matter of two people. The combination between him and Yang Yan is to like each other, just like a natural and pure gemstone, not mixed with other things. He also doesn't want other things to be mixed in, and he doesn't want someone to enter the emotional world of two people. In his opinion, the alliance with Banzhou is a matter of course in the context of the anti-Mongolian resistance, and the inevitable choice of the Thunderbolt army's strategy has nothing to do with Yang Yan's love. If there is a relationship, it is that this love makes the mutual trust between the two sides of the alliance become extremely high in a short period of time, and it will become unbreakable over time.

Ouyang Xuan knows that the economic foundation is always the underlying logic of social customs, and Cui'er marrying over is a legacy of barbaric slavery on the surface, which is really the best solution under the traditional mode of production. It's just that Ouyang Xuan really can't accept this approach. It's not that Cui'er isn't beautiful, it's not that she's lowly and just a girl, it's because his values don't allow him to do so, and he can't convince himself to accept the idea of treating people as objects. He can't change the current way of production, and he can't stop this custom in a short time, but he can take the lead.

After listening to Yang Yan silently, Ouyang Xuan took her hand and gently brought her to Cui'er, who was still sitting on the couch and sobbing. He stared at Yang Yan's eyes and said softly: "Yan'er, marriage is a matter of two people, three people are too crowded, I feel lucky to have you in this life." Cui'er is your sister, my sister. Today I recognize her as my sister-in-law. Ouyang Xuan said this tactfully, but not only Yang Yan could understand it, but Cui'er could also understand it. He won't take Treier as a concubine, let alone let her be a maid, but give her back her freedom. With the identity of Ouyang Xuan's sister-in-law, and with her gentleness and beauty, it is not difficult for Cui'er to find a good family.

Listening to Ouyang Xuan's words, Cui'er burst into tears and laughed, stood up and knelt down again. On the one hand, he thanked Ouyang Xuan for relieving her slave body, and even more so for Ouyang Xuan for recognizing her as a righteous sister. In fact, the latter status is more important, which means that there can be a stable living environment. In fact, in this troubled era, many people took the initiative to sell themselves into slavery just to find a backer to survive. Before Cui'er knelt down, she was supported by Ouyang Xuan. He wiped her teary-eyed face with Yang Yan's hand again, and said with a smile: "Then there is a reason for a righteous sister to kowtow to her brother, is this to break my life?" ”

The words have already shown that Cui'er naturally can't stay in this cave house anymore. At that moment, Yang Yan sent her out. When she returned to her room, she found that only one of the large red candles was still lit, and the rest had been extinguished at some point. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw Ouyang Xuan burst out of the candlelight shadow and picked her up suddenly. In an exclamation, she found herself thrown on the bed, which was covered with a thick futon and did not have the slightest pain. "Brother Xuan......." Before the words fell, the last red candle had been extinguished, and his lips were also pressed against the mouth with the smell of wine, so he had to swallow back the unspoken words alive.

After the wedding, the Thunderbolts stayed in Banju for more than half a month. During this time, Lu Dezhi took Zhu Zhuozi to discuss the details of cooperation with the head of Tian Da and a group of Hao chiefs, while Dong Hu led the Perak soldiers to learn from each other with the Banzhou army. Although Ouyang Xuan said that he was newly married, he was not idle. Yang Wen took him to the forts around Hailongtun and Banzhou City, on the one hand, to inspect the Banzhou army stationed in Tun, to visit the local families, and on the other hand, to inspect the mines and the preparation for the construction of factories. He was accompanied by Yang Wen's only son, Yang Bangxian, who, as the son of the Yang family, was to inherit the family business of Banzhou Youda in the future. Yang Wen brought him with him to familiarize him with the people's situation and the handling of government affairs.

It is said that although Yang Bangxian is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, he is full of poetry and books and is very sensible, he has been skilled in martial arts since he was a child, and he has been able to use firearms proficiently soon after he has come into contact with firearms, and he has learned the working principle of muskets without a teacher. Ouyang Xuan saw that his brother-in-law's face was immature but far more mature than his peers, and his conversation and knowledge were not ordinary people, so he carefully guided him. After hearing this, he regarded Ouyang Xuan as a treasure, and pestered him all day long to tell him stories from overseas, such as those whales as big as ships, the tribes that were rich in gold and silver but sacrificed to the living, and those magical crops that could also obtain high yields on the rocky dry land of Banzhou........ Ouyang Xuan was overwhelmed but helpless, and sometimes even had to hide in Yang Yan's boudoir. I expected this kid to chase after him, and he didn't leave at night, and he was carried out by Yang Yan several times.
