Chapter 70: Taihao Maoru ties the knot
Hearing Yao Fuji say this, Tai Hao couldn't help but start worrying, Yao Fuji has always been ruthless, if he finds out that the 'General's Order' is in his hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. As a result, Taihao couldn't help but make waves in his heart, and he didn't know how to reverse this critical situation.
Yao Fuji looked at Tai Hao and asked, "Lord Tai Hao has been in Pinghe City for a while, have you ever thought about getting married and having children?" ”
Taihao was surprised to hear Yao Fuji's question. He didn't expect Fudge to bring up such a topic. However, this is not surprising, because when he first came to Pinghe City, Yao Fuji also asked the same question, and then he sent Mao Ru to the deputy general's mansion. Now that he is asking himself again about "getting married and having children", do you want to install a fine work by his side? Tai Hao thought for a while and replied, "Xia Guan has been busy with official business and has not thought about this matter yet. ”
Yao Fuji shook his head with a smile when he heard Taihao's answer. "Lord Taihao, this official thinks you still have to plan more for your life's events. You also know that the deputy general of the city defense may later sit in the position of the general of the city defense, and as the commander of the general, it is very important to have an heir. If you don't have a son, it will be difficult for you to establish yourself in the army in the future. ”
Tai Hao was silent, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, why it would be difficult to establish power in the army without a son, as a court official is to strive for the prosperity of the country, what does this have to do with whether there are heirs? At that moment, he told Yao Fuji about it.
Yao Fuji said slowly: "In fact, the positions of city lords and city guards in many cities are hereditary, and when they are fighting outside, if their son is also in the army, they will definitely have a lot of prestige as a commander." Take General Da Shunqu as an example, he had four sons, two of whom died on the battlefield, and when the soldiers knew about it, they all thought that General Da Shunqu was a brave and fearless general, and respected him more. And having children is also the key to better safeguarding the interests of the family, so that the family can be passed on from generation to generation. ”
After listening to Yao Fuji's explanation, Taihao understood the truth. Just as he was about to respond, Yao Fuji continued to ask, "How about this official plan to be a matchmaker for Lord Taihao?" ”
Taihao listened to Yao Fuji's words, and was very embarrassed in his heart. He didn't feel that he needed to find a wife to have children, and he didn't want Yao Fuji to be his matchmaker. In his heart, what he has always liked is Nian Yu, and he has even made a vow in his heart that "if you don't read it, you won't marry". But he also knew that if he rejected Fudge's offer, he might offend him.
Tai Hao thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to refuse Xiao Fuji's proposal for the time being. He smiled and said, "Lord Yao Fuji is really bothered, but Xia Guan has not considered marriage yet. There are two reasons, one is that in the past few days, the retinue of the deputy general's mansion, Gu Sheng and Dumb Shan, have disappeared one after another, and the lower officials have been searching for it without success, if they are still thinking about their children's private affairs at this time, they will definitely attract the betrayal of other entourages; Second, General Da Shunqu has just passed away, his bones are not cold, the general who defends a city has died, and the people of the whole city have to grieve for him. According to the etiquette of the Eastern Empire, the bones of General Da Shunqu need to be buried in a coffin for 7749 days. ”
Yao Fuji smiled: "Lord Taihao's words are serious, the first reason you just said is not the two entourage, maybe they just went home, and they will come back by themselves after a while." The second reason is that you and I can't participate in the funeral of General Da Shunqu, according to General Da Shunqu's son, according to General Da Shunqu's last words, the funeral will be held in his hometown. Therefore, Lord Taihao can think about his private affairs with peace of mind. ”
After listening to Yao Fuji's words, Tai Hao thought in his heart: "Since General Da Shunqu can't participate in the funeral, but Brother Gusheng and Senior Brother Dumb Shan were arrested by Yao Fuji, now it's better to test it and see what Yao Fuji says." ”
Thinking of this, Tai Hao said to Yao Fuji: "General Da Shunqu didn't expect it to be such a high-spirited and bright festival, which made the lower officials extremely admired. But the two entourages in my house did not go back to their hometown, they may have encountered danger and were caught by bandits. ”
Yao Fuji heard the meaning of Tai Hao's words, and a sneer appeared on his face: "How could Lord Tai Hao have such a guess, the security of Pinghe City has always been very good, and there will be no bandits in the city." The official can ask the official to find out, and if there is any of the whereabouts of the two attendants, he will bring them over. ”
When Tai Hao heard this, he just nodded, he knew that Yao Fuji would definitely not tell him the truth. Yao Fuji continued: "The woman who this official wants to be your matchmaker is known to Master Taihao, and she is Miss Maoru. ”
Tai Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The city lord doesn't know, Miss Maoru has returned to her hometown Fengling City because she misses her hometown. ”
Yao Fuji smiled slightly, called the retinue he had brought just now, and whispered to the entourage. The attendant went out, and Xiao Fuji smiled, "Lord Taihao, wait a moment!" ”
After a short time, the attendant walked in again and said to Yao Fuji, "Back to the city lord, the sedan chair has been carried into the courtyard." ”
Yao Fuji stood up and smiled, "Good! Lord Taihao, let's take a look in the courtyard of your mansion! ”
Yao Fuji and Tai Hao came to the courtyard together, only to see a big red sedan chair parked in the courtyard, and many family members and maids from the deputy general's mansion were watching. Yao Fuji and Tai Hao walked to the sedan chair, Yao Fuji motioned for Tai Hao to open the sedan curtain, Tai Hao hesitated, but still opened the sedan curtain. What he saw was a beautiful woman, with a delicate face and picturesque eyebrows, looking at him with a smile. Taihao was stunned, he recognized that this woman was Mao Ru. She was actually forcibly brought by Yu Fudge as his wife!
Tai Hao hurriedly asked Mao Ru: "Miss Mao Ru, didn't you go back to Fengling City, why are you still here?" Where is Senior Brother Dumb now? ”
Facing Taihao's inquiry, Mao Ru suddenly looked embarrassed, she lowered her head and said softly, "I...... I ......" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was scared or upset.
Before Mao Ru finished speaking, Yao Fuji smiled: "First ask Miss Mao Ru to get off the sedan chair and let Miss Mao Ru in, she will be Lord Taihao's wife in the future." ”
Tai Hao hurriedly shouted: "City Lord, is this too anxious, I haven't asked Miss Maoru if she agrees." ”
Yao Fuji laughed and said, "Then is Miss Maoru willing to marry Lord Taihao as his wife?" ”
Mao Ru didn't dare to resist, so she could only nod slightly.
With the support of all the family members and maids, they returned to the front hall again, at this time the front hall was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers brought by Yao Fuji, and a group of entourages from the deputy general's mansion also arrived one after another, Shaoling, Daxi, Xuanyu, and Nian Yu also came. Seeing this, Tai Hao hurriedly asked Yao Fuji: "City Lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to get married in such a hurry, why don't you change the day?" ”
Yao Fuji said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Miss Maoru has the heart to marry you, is it possible, don't you look down on others?" ”
Tai Hao took a deep breath and looked at Mao Ru, his heart full of helplessness and contradictions. He knew that the person he loved most in his heart was Nian Yu, but the beautiful woman in front of him was forced to marry him, even though he knew that Senior Brother Dumb Shan might have been framed by Mao Ru, but at this time Taihao still couldn't bear to hurt her.
He was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "City Lord, Xia Guan has the intention of getting married and having children, but the matter of affection should be happy with each other, and liking each other can last longer." Xia Guan already has a heart, and he can't wronged Miss Maoru. ”
Yao Fuji frowned, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He sneered: "Lord Taihao, you have surprised this official. If you have a heart, why didn't you say it sooner? Now that Miss Maoru has come to Pinghe City after many twists and turns, why don't you just live well? ”
Tai Hao shook his head firmly, "I'm sorry, city lord, the lower officials don't agree to this marriage." is already concerned about it, and he can't just mess around like this, it's not good for the lower officials and the Maoru girl. ”
Yao Fuji sneered and gave a look to all the entourages around him, and under the entourage of a group of entourage, Taihao had no choice but to obey. In the shouts of "one worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send into the cave room", Taihao glanced at Nianyu, only to see Nianyu shed sad tears at this time, Taihao suddenly felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, and when he turned around, he only heard a "bang" and fainted to the ground.
About three hours later, Taihao slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in his room. It was late at night, and the stars were shining outside the window. He found Mao Ru staring at him in a daze, he sat up and asked a little blankly, "Why are you here?" How long did I sleep? ”
Mao Ru saw that he woke up, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, she said softly: "I am Mao Ru, and we are husband and wife." Of course I want to be here, Lang Jun has been asleep for three hours, and Lang Zhong has come to see it, saying that you fainted because of overwork. ”
When Tai Hao heard her answer, he was shocked and felt like he had a terrible nightmare, but the truth made it impossible for him to continue to deny it. He looked at Mao Ru in front of him dumbfounded, feeling very annoyed and painful in his heart. He knew that he had missed the woman he loved the most, and he kept asking himself in his heart, did he really want to accept this Mao Ru as his wife, but he had already visited the church, and now he could not regret it, he could only be responsible for Mao Ru.
"I'm sorry, Miss Maoru." Taihao rubbed his eyes vigorously and said with determination, "But I'll be responsible for you." ”
Mao Ru looked at Taihao's firm expression, and seemed to understand the contradiction and helplessness in his heart. She nodded lightly and replied silently, "The little woman will always follow." ”
Tai Hao took a deep breath and asked her, "Since you and I have become husband and wife, you have to tell me everything you know without concealment." ”
Mao Ru looked at Taihao's eyes, revealing a hint of hesitation, but she still spoke: "Lang Jun wants to know something, as long as I know, I will definitely tell Lang Jun." ”
Tai Hao looked at her eyes and asked, "The first thing I want to ask you, how did Senior Brother Dumb Shan get arrested on 'death row'?" ”
Mao Ru suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, she originally wanted to lie and say that she didn't know about it, but at the moment, the lie must not be hidden from Taihao. She trembled and said, "He...... Hit the slap of Tu Poison Ink......"
When Tai Hao heard the words "Slaughter Poison Ink", he suddenly felt familiar, and thought about it carefully, when he was in Fengling City, Nian Yu had said this name to himself, and Nian Yu said that he was a martial arts master in the north, and he had fought with Master Yuan Shi in order to get the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow". But how did the dumb brother offend Tu Poison Ink? Tai Hao continued to ask Mao Ru: "Why did Tu Poison Mo slap Senior Brother Dumb Shan, what happened, you told me everything you know as it is......
