Because of the various battles of wits and courage between An Lushan and Li Linfu in Chang'an City, the people who are far away at the border pass have a little respite for a while, and Cui Pu also seized the time to make up for all kinds of combat knowledge everywhere, and the relationship with the big guys is getting better and better.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eleventh year of Tianbao.

At the beginning of this year, when he went to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion to eat spring wine, Cui Pu saw a group of old acquaintances again, including Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others.

At the banquet, everyone drank and listened to music, laughed and amused, and had a great time.

When the wine was hot, An Sishun suddenly said to Li Guangbi: "The last time I went to the Shuofang army, the old man saw a young man Lang Jun, who was very heroic and martial, and his tactics were also very well arranged. Judging by his appearance, he shouldn't be too young, right?"

"He will be twenty years old this year. Li Guangbi said busily.

"Are you twenty years old, it's time to think about life events!" An Sishun stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled again, "It just so happens that the little lady in the old man's family is reaching the age of leaving the cabinet, otherwise let's get married to Qin Jin?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Li Guangbi's face was barely as usual, but the hand holding the wine glass shook heavily, and most of the wine in the glass spilled out.

The others also looked at him, then at Cui Pu on the side, and then quickly lowered their heads.

"The lower officials thank you for your concern. However, the little dog is stubborn, and he has been obsessed with increasing his knowledge over the years, and Xia Guan also mentioned marriage to him earlier, but he was rejected on the grounds that it was still early and he didn't want to start a family. This kid has too much temper, and the lower officials can't control him. In this matter, the lower official still has to go back to discuss with him. It took a long time for Li Guangbi to stand up and thank him.

After An Sishun spoke, the reaction at the scene had already made him realize that something was wrong. Now that he heard Li Guangbi's refusal, his heart was even more acute. But when he finally got down the stairs, he laughed twice: "That's it! The old man also had nothing to do at the beginning of the spring, so he casually mentioned it." If Erlangjun still doesn't want to get married, then I won't mention this matter in the future!"

Everyone also laughed, but the atmosphere at the scene couldn't go back to the beginning.

After the banquet, Li Guangbi hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When Cui Pu returned home, he saw the eldest lady standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at him with red eyes.

"Big lady, why are you here? It's so cold, what if it's frozen? Hurry up and go to your aunt's place to bake the fire!" Cui Pu hurriedly took her hand and was about to pull it in.

But the eldest lady did not move. "Daddy, are they telling the truth?"

Cui Pu frowned. "What do you care about the rumors out there?"

"I only ask, is it true that the Jiedu envoy said that he would marry his daughter to Li Xiang?"

"Hey!" Cui Pu sighed helplessly, "The Jiedu envoy is a Turkic person, and Deputy Envoy Li is a Khitan, they are both foreign races, and they are also relatively ostracized in the court. In this way, two families get married, in fact, it is the most correct choice. ”

The big lady's small face is white. "So Daddy, you also agree with this family business?"

"I'm just explaining the objective situation to you. Cui Pu said lightly, "Moreover, didn't Deputy Envoy Li politely refuse the envoy of Jiedu? This shows that he is also unwilling to do this family business." ”

"He doesn't want to, just because he doesn't want to offend Ge Shuhan!" the eldest lady said coldly.

An Sishun and Ge Shuhan worked together under Wang Sizhong's account at the beginning, and they were obviously both generals who were highly valued by Wang Sizhong, but for various reasons, these two people had already made friends and did not interact much. And these two people value Li Guangbi very much. So now, An Sishun threw out his family affair to win him over, and Li Guangbi hurriedly refused. After all, if he agreed, then he would be in a gang with An Sishun and stand on the opposite side of Geshuhan. Li Guangbi has always been cautious in his actions, how could he make such a big enmity for himself?

It's just that now that Li Xiang's marriage has been proposed, there will definitely be more people who will marry him one after another in the future. Li Guangbi refused one or two, can he still reject them all?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but her eyes began to sour.

Seeing his daughter raised single-handedly sad and sad because of a man in front of him, Cui Pu felt very uncomfortable.

"Lady, the matter of marriage is the words of the matchmaker of your parents, don't you know this in your heart?"

"But, Daddy, you were obviously chosen by Ah Niang herself!" said the eldest lady loudly.

Cui Pu's old face turned red. "That being said, this matter was also agreed by the parents of both parties! It was your grandfather who took a fancy to your mother, and then the Cui family came forward to propose marriage to the Mu family. Three media and six hires, one is a lot, your aunt is married in a beautiful way!"

"Does that mean that if he convinces him Daddy to agree to this, Daddy you will agree too?" asked the eldest lady.

What is this? Did he say anything like that?

Cui Pu's heart is getting worse and worse. The daughter who used to be so soft and lovely, now she is talking to him about her marriage seriously, is she so impatient to get married? Isn't she good enough for her? Why does she have to be with that stinky boy? In terms of appearance, family lineage, and ability, what point can that kid take to the table?

Seeing him hesitate, two bean-sized tears rolled back and forth in the eldest lady's eyes.

"Actually, Daddy, you don't want me to marry him, do you? You don't like him, do you?"

Nonsense, that kid has stolen his precious daughter's heart, it's strange that he can still like that thief! God knows, if Li Xiang is right in front of him now, Cui Pu can tear him alive on the spot!

"It doesn't matter if your father likes it or not, what matters is that you ask yourself, do you really like him to that point, isn't he not married in this life?"

As soon as he saw her appear, Cui Pu's face changed, and he hurriedly went over and took her hand: "Didn't I tell you, don't you go out in this weather? If you get sick from the wind and frost again, it will take a long time to lie down." ”

"I'm dressed warm enough, it's fine. Mu Jiaojiao smiled faintly, and slowly walked to the eldest lady, "What did I ask you just now, what is your answer?"

The eldest lady bit her lower lip and nodded for a long time: "Yes!"

"Good. If their family can come to our house to propose, your father and I will agree. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Lady!" Hearing this, Cui Pu couldn't help but shout.

He doesn't want to marry his daughter off yet!

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him lightly: "Do you believe it or not, you can't do this well, the eldest lady hates you for the rest of your life?"

Hate is hate, that's better than watching her go into that stinky boy's den of thieves. Cui Pu said sullenly in his heart, but looking at the tears in the eyes of the eldest lady, he still nodded helplessly: "Okay, as long as their family has the courage to come to the door to propose, I will have the courage to respond!"

The eldest lady was immediately overjoyed. "Thank you Daddy and Auntie, I'll go find him!"

Then he turned and ran away.

Cui Pu almost couldn't hold back, he really wanted to reach out and get the eldest lady back. But Mu Jiaojiao grabbed him.

"Lady, why are you pulling me again?" Cui Pu shouted.

"I'm cold. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

Cui Pu hurriedly held her hands in the palm of her hand again: "You are embarrassed to say! Who just said that you are dressed warmly, and you are not afraid to come out? Look at you, your hands are already cold, what kind of person is this called wearing warm? Why don't you hurry in and bake the fire!"

He hurriedly dragged her back to her room.

But it was said that the eldest lady went out of the weeping flower gate, so she rode her little red horse and went all the way to the post house where Li Guangbi and his son temporarily lived.

When I arrived at the entrance of the post house, I saw a group of people in armor coming in and out, carrying things. The man she had in mind was standing at the door, directing the soldiers to do things.

Seeing the eldest lady appear from afar, someone quietly pushed Li Xiang. Li Xiang turned his head and saw the eldest lady sitting on horseback, and his eyes couldn't help flashing.

"Don't give me a plan to run!" Seeing that this person began to retreat with one foot, the eldest lady immediately shouted.

Li Xiang really didn't dare to move anymore.

The eldest lady looked at him condescendingly: "Li Xiang, I came here today, I just want to ask you a word, you just have to answer me honestly." ”

Li Xiang pursed his lips. "You say. ”

"Will you marry me?"

Rumble!

When she said this, it was like a red-hot soldering iron thrown into the cold water, which immediately provoked a violent reaction from everyone present.

Li Xiang's face couldn't help but change. "What nonsense are you talking about in public?"

"I'm just asking you an attitude. The eldest lady said lightly, "Anyway, now I've already spoken." I like you, I want to marry you. If you are willing to marry me, I am willing to marry. However, if you don't want to, then that's it, I'll just listen to my father's arrangement and marry someone else. ”

With that, she immediately turned her horse's head and galloped in the direction of the Thorn Mansion.

is so chic and resolute, it seems that Li Xiang, who has never expressed his position, is like a little lady.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Xiang, with envy and jealousy in their eyes, but more worry.

This person, he just got the blue eyes of the festival, and now he was forced to marry by the daughter of the assassin, and now he is in a dilemma, how should he choose?

Li Xiang still has a straight face, but his heart has already been messed up.

He kept replaying the appearance of the eldest lady in front of him, and the words he said, he didn't know what it was like.

I don't know when, Li Guangbi came out.

"Erlang, you come in with me!"

Li Xiang hurriedly withdrew his gaze and followed his father into the post house.

Entering the room, Li Guangbi asked, "What's the matter with you and the eldest lady of the Cui Thorn Shi family?"

Li Xiang immediately knelt down.

Li Guangbi's face changed greatly. "What do you mean? Don't tell me, you really want to marry her!"

Li Xiang slowly spoke: "Please Daddy!"

"You, you...... How do you tell me to accomplish this?" Li Guangbi was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead protruded, "What is the identity of Cui Tingshi, don't you know in your heart? The eldest lady in his mansion is going to marry other families with the five surnames and Qiwang! Even if she doesn't marry those people, there are also noble families in Chang'an City who are willing to marry her. But what kind of identity are you? A mere child of an alien race, and there are not many things on you that you can handle, how can you marry her?"

"But she said she was willing to marry me. Li Xiang said in a deep voice.

"She's willing, she's willing, but can we afford to marry? Not to mention that I just rejected the Anjiedu envoy!" Li Guangbi yelled, "The front foot just rejected the Anjiedu envoy, but the back foot we went to Cui Tingshi's mansion to propose marriage, what's this called?

"Anjiedu makes it to love Daddy, not me. Li Xiang said.

"That's not going to work! Anyway, you don't have to think about this matter, I won't agree! Now, let's hurry home, we can't come to Liangzhou in the future, and we can't even stay in this place anymore!" Li Guangbi said anxiously, and glared at him again, "You'd better stay honest with me for the next two days." Otherwise, I'll tie you back!"

Li Xiang looked at him with heavy eyes. "Daddy, I really like her. In this life, she won't marry her son!"

"You! You're really angry with me!" Li Guangbi was half angry at his attitude, "If I can't say this, I can't do it." Now, you go back with me, and don't mention this kind of thing again!"

Li Xiang was silent, only looking at him quietly.

Li Guangbi turned his head away. "You don't have to look at me like that. Now that you're young, you probably don't understand why. But in another ten years, when you understand everything, you will know that Daddy is doing this for your own good. ”

"Daddy's mind understands, but he just likes her. If you can't marry her, you'd rather not marry her in this life!" Li Xiang insisted.

Li Guangbi was already so angry with him that he had nothing to say.

"Whatever you want! Anyway, I don't agree with this family business, and I will never send a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage!"

After waiting for a few more days, Cui Pu heard the news - Li Guangbi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, returned to the mansion after eating spring wine from the Jiedu envoy's mansion and was seriously ill and could barely get up. So, he wrote to the saint and asked to resign and go home.

"They flinched. He said to the eldest lady.

obviously felt that he should be happy, but why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw the overly calm face of the eldest lady?
