When He Yan was tossing and turning over his doubts, Xiao Jue, who returned to Xiao's house, bumped into Xiao Jing and his wife who had been waiting at the gate for questioning.
Bai Rongwei didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she and Xiao Jue were sitting in the hall, waiting for Xiao Jue to come back. Xiao Jing asked, "Huai Jin, what's going on? Duke He... How can a girl be a girl?"
The Xiao family is really in chaos right now.
Well, it was scary enough to learn at the banquet that the little boy who lived in their house was a girl. The emperor actually gave the marriage a favor. No matter how big their family was, they couldn't change Xiao Jue's friend into a wife all of a sudden. The only thing that is certain is that Xiao Jue definitely likes that girl He. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such bitter words in front of civil and military officials in the hall. Thinking back on it now, every single piece, such as asking He Yan to live in his yard, was always protective... Now it's all explained.
The same words have just been explained to He Sui at the He family, and Xiao Jing has to be explained here. Fortunately, it was his own family, so Xiao Jue didn't go into the details as he said. He gave a rough outline so that the couple could understand them all.
Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei barely understood, and they looked at each other.
Bai Rongwei asked tentatively, "Huai Jin, do you really like Miss He?"
Xiao Jue said calmly, "If it's fake, can the Xiao family resist the decree?"
Bai Rongwei was speechless, which was naturally impossible.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, "If it was fake, there would be no marriage gift."
A few people were stunned for a moment, and their hearts were the same. Xiao Jue seemed to be indifferent to court affairs, but it was not that he really had no connections. This marriage was originally his own help to achieve the goal. If he didn't like He Yan, let alone do it. Even if Emperor Wen Xuan wanted to, he could use other hands and feet to mess things up.
"However," Bai Rongwei complained, "you child, you just have to be happy in your heart. How could you have brought the girl home directly before? Although my brother and I have nothing to do with it, if the outsiders know about it, they will inevitably make irresponsible remarks. , it will damage Miss He's reputation."
"Previously, her identity was unknown, and it was inappropriate to go home rashly. No one would know about her when she brought her back to the mansion." Xiao Jue said, "I won't in the future.
The couple sighed in relief. In the past, I was always worried that with Xiao Jue's temperament, I was afraid that I would never plan to marry a wife in this life. Now I finally know that I like girls, which is also a good thing. But I'm afraid of the young man's temperament, greedy for a moment of happiness, and it will be over if he causes trouble. Seeing that he himself knows the proportions, the two are a little relieved.
"Where does Miss He come from? Where do you live? Who else is in the family?" Bai Rongwei asked him, "When the young master of the Lin family left, he said that Miss He's father was a school captain, and he had already become an in-law. , my parents are gone, I and your eldest brother should come to visit. Don't let people think that we are rude. "
"Exactly," Xiao Jing said, "Go and discuss the details of the marriage with Mr. He. As well as your dowry, you should also start preparing now."
The marriage came suddenly, and nothing was prepared at home. The emperor has given a lot of rewards over the years, but Xiao Jue was too lazy to take care of it himself, and Bai Rongwei kept it in the warehouse for him. He thought it would be useful every three or five years. Sudden.
Their husband and wife, but they didn't care about He Yan's family from beginning to end. Even if he asked He Yan's family, he only understood the situation. The elders above have all passed away, the eldest brother is the father, and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei are not vain people. When Xiao Jing married Bai Rongwei, there were rumors in Shuojing that the relatives of the Xiao family were arrogant. Strongly opposed, but in the end, Bai Rongwei, a prostitute, still became the eldest grandmother of the Xiao family. Therefore, for He Yan, they think that as long as he is clean and his character is not bad, it is enough.
"What does Miss He like on weekdays?" With something to do, Bai Rongwei felt that the burden on her body was heavier. The Xiao family has a simple population, and it is easy to be a family. She has no disputes with Xiao Jing in the past. Now that Xiao Jue's marriage has finally fallen, she feels that it must be done beautifully. "How about I go to buy some nice silk cloth tomorrow? And buy some jewelry, it shouldn't be too expensive, it seems disrespectful to others. How old is Mr. He? As a school captain, you usually have to stumble, buy some supplements... "
She said it carefully, and she was so absorbed in the discussion with Xiao Jing that she didn't even know when Xiao Jue slipped away. When he was ready to ask Xiao Jue's opinion, he realized that the chair in front of him was already empty.
Xiao Jue returned to his room, took off the court clothes outside, put it on a chair, and sat down on the side of the slump.
There was a dim light in the room, and there was a vaguely lively voice outside. It was probably Bai Rongwei who was instructing the servants to take the key to open the warehouse. Everyone was shocked when they thought about it tonight. Don't want to sleep this night.
But... it's not without gain.
Emperor Wen Xuan's marriage came at the right time. It not only swept out that unsightly guy from Chu Zhao, but also finalized the matter between him and He Yan. The emperor's mind was unclear all these years, but he finally did the right thing.
Before, he thought that He Yan admired Chu Zhao, and even though there were many things in his heart, he didn't want to mention it to He Yan. There is a person in the world who likes to take everything by force and plunder. For a person like him, the last thing he loves is reluctance.
But... not reluctantly.
He lowered his eyes and took out a sachet from his arms. The sachet was turned over, the delicate embroidery on the outside was turned inside, and the rough lining inside was turned outside. Libri, the corners are crooked, and the embroidered "moon" with pits is shining in the dim light.
Ugly is ugly, but...
I even added some gold lines into it.
The handsome young man lowered his head and couldn't help laughing.
In the hut outside, Chiwu threw a punch, was caught by Fei Nu firmly, twisted aside, "Calm down."
"Did you already know?" Chi Wuqi's nose was crooked, "I just said, why every time I look at him unpleasant, you always have a look that is hesitant to say anything. Why do I always You are sweating profusely because of the young master's life-long affairs, but you can take it easy, it's not that you have a big heart, you already know it!"
"You and I do things for the young master together. When you have been brothers for so many years, if you hide it from me, won't your conscience hurt?"
Fei Nu turned sideways to avoid the punch he charged, and was quite speechless, "How did I lie? When you were in the city of Jiyang, you didn't see her in women's clothes, how could you still think that Miss He is a man?"
Chiwu was stunned.
It's also true that He Yan didn't wear women's clothing. When they were wearing skirts in Jiyang City, Cui Yuezhi and his concubine Mu Hongjin, the princess of Jiyang, the common people, the hawkers who bought things on the street... No one ever doubted He Yan's identity as a woman. With beautiful eyebrows and a slender figure, if it is not really a girl, how can it not be discovered by others
"I thought it was her male and female counterpart." Chi Wu said in a lost voice: "Besides, how could I believe that a woman would also go to Liangzhou Wei, and even if one person threw twenty stone locks in a row, even a strong man couldn't beat her."
Also eat so much!
He never doubted He Yan's female identity, not because He Yan was a bad girl, but because she was too good as a man! To test which young girl's house can sit in a group of big men and listen to their dirty words without changing their face
Sometimes I can even say two.
Fei Nu patted his friend's shoulder, "If you want to open up, haven't you always been afraid that the young master will be scolded by the people of Shuojing for breaking his sleeves? Miss He is a woman, so what you worry about will not happen now."
"That's what I said," Chiwu sat down gloomily, "but now that I think about it, I think I'm stupid."
"It's not that you're stupid," Fei Nu said in his heart, "it's because the many things that Miss He does are much better than what men do."
Fei Nu asked himself, if it wasn't for Xiao Jue asking Luan Ying to inquire about He Yan's details, he knew by mistake that He Yan was a woman. I'm afraid that even if He Yan stood in front of him wearing a skirt, he would probably have a reaction with Fei Nu, thinking that this person's women's clothes were so outstanding.
However, it is useless to think about it now. Now that the young master has got what he wanted, this young lady is also capable and brave. As soon as this matter spreads out tonight, Shuojing is afraid that there will be a big wave tomorrow.
…
In fact, Fei Nu was right in what he thought, not until tomorrow. In the past, people who dealt with He Yan in the past did not believe that He Yan was a woman and was given marriage to Xiao Jue. ear.
In the military camp, Hong Shan and his group were lying on the Chase bunk and chatting with their feet.
Back in Beijing, these soldiers and horses were stationed at the foot of the mountain not far from the capital. There is still daily practice here, but compared to Liangzhou, it is much better. At least there are fields outside the mountain. When they are not practicing, the soldiers in the barracks will help the peasants to work and get some fresh vegetables and fruits. Shuojing is not as big as Liangzhou's wind and sand, so it was only a month after returning to Beijing, and everyone saw it in a circle.
The family lives in Shuojing, and they can leave the camp one day a month to go back to see their family. Jiang Jiao just went to the instructor to arrange to go home in a few days, and was walking into the house when he saw a little man hurriedly running into his room, moving as fast as a gust of wind.
This little man, Jiang Jiao, remembered that his surname was Bao. Because he always liked to inquire about trivial matters and was well informed, everyone called him Bao to inquire. After a long time, no one remembered his original name, so he remembered to ask Bao to inquire.
Looking at his posture, this is another big news. Jiang Jiao followed him unhurriedly. These days they were in Shuojing, and it was very boring. He Yan now has an official title, and he doesn't live here, so he misses him.
Baotou ran into Hongshan's house, everyone was chatting, he jumped on the table in the middle of the room in one breath, and was scolded at all lengths.
"You have mud on your feet, don't roll down yet!"
"That's where I eat. Bao asked you to rebel?"
"Speak as you speak, move your feet!"
In this room, there are Wangba Huang Xiong and others who are not easy to mess with. Usually, Bao inquired about this and jumped down a long time ago, but today is different. Instead of moving, he seemed to be even more excited, blushing and thick neck, "Big news, big news! I just came back from the coach, big news, there is no bigger news than this!"
People passing by other houses outside the door surrounded him. It was rare to see him being so incoherent. The news must be really big. Some people asked, "What the hell is going on? Is Governor Xiao going to marry a wife?"
This is a casual mention, because there are ten impossibility in Liangzhou Wei. For example, Shen Han can't be soft-hearted, Liang Ping can't not curse, Ma Damei can't bet... The biggest impossibility is that everyone thinks it is absolutely unshakable. One of them is: Xiao Jue cannot marry a wife.
If this impossibility is broken, it would be a big news, but it should be impossible.
They thought so, but saw Bao inquired and nodded: "Yes, yes! Yes, Dudu Xiao is going to marry a wife!"
The crowd didn't react at first, but after reviewing the taste, the group was suddenly excited, "hula" all of a sudden gathered around the table, and asked Bao to inquire.
"Who? Who? Who is Governor Xiao going to marry?"
"Are you sure it's Dudu Xiao's wife and not someone else? Is it accurate for Bao to ask you about this news? Why do I feel so unreliable?"
"Does Dudu Xiao seem like someone who can marry a wife? I think it's fake, so let's go, don't be fooled."
When Bao Tuo heard this, he was so terrified that the veins on his neck floated up, and he clenched his fists and stomped his feet: "How could I lie... I heard it clearly, and the instructors were terrified... That was your Majesty's gift of marriage!"
As soon as the word "gift marriage" came out, 50% of the people inside and outside believed it. It is impossible for Dudu Xiao to take the initiative to marry a wife, but how could he resist the decree of His Majesty's golden mouth for such things as marriage? That being said, it is not impossible.
Mai asked: "Is it really a marriage? The majesty gave the marriage to Governor Xiao, who is the young lady of the mansion?"
Someone outside was listening to the window, and he didn't even think about the answer, "Then it goes without saying, it's naturally Miss Shen from Yushi Shen's mansion!"
Shen Muxue stayed in Liangzhou Guard for so long and helped many wounded soldiers. Such a young lady did not despise them and even gave them medicine. The soldiers liked her very much and spoke a lot for her.
"Yes, Miss Shen is a match made in heaven with the Governor!"
"They are golden boys and beautiful girls, and they are talented and beautiful. They should be the most suitable pair of people in the Wei Dynasty."
But Bao Tuo's answer disappointed them, "No, it's not Dr. Shen!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Wasn't it Shen Muxue? Miss Shen, such a kind-hearted fairy, can't even become Xiao Jue's wife. Which young lady did His Majesty bestow the marriage
"It's not Dr. Shen, who is it?"
Bao asked: "It's He Yan!"
As soon as the word "He Yan" came out, it was a little quiet inside and outside the house. Wang Ba, who was dozing lazily, sat up. As soon as Jiang Jiao entered the room, he heard this sentence and thought it was a problem with his ears.
"Which He Yan?" Shitou asked calmly.
"It's He Yan of our Liangzhou Guard!"
Someone laughed and said, "Bao Thou, are you drunk? You falsely spread His Majesty's will, and if you are not careful, you will end up with a lawsuit. He Yan is a man, how could His Majesty give marriage to two men? Are you crazy? Or is this just a He Yan with the same name and surname."
At this time, Bao asked in no hurry.
He knew that what he said would become a thunderbolt among the Liangzhou Guard recruits, no, along with the Nanfu soldiers. Who told him to have a good ear, and he was the first to hear such a big news.
"Who said that His Majesty couldn't give marriage to two men?" He glanced around the people in the room, and when he could see everyone's expressions, he calmly said: "Besides, He Yan is a woman, Of course I can be Dudu Xiao's wife."
"Clang-dang-"
Liang Ping's foot slipped and he fell on the ground, but he was not busy baring his teeth and screaming pain, but looked at Shen Han with doubts about life, "What did you say?"
"He Yan is a woman." Shen Han said with a face.
Don't look at how calm he looks now, God knows how incredible he was when Tian Lang, the deputy soldier of the Nanfu Army, came to tell him the news.
Is He Yan a woman
how can that be!
How can there be a woman in the world who can eat better than a man, fight better than a man, and can adapt to the harsh climate and training of Liangzhou Wei better than a man? When the instructors heard the news, they all fell into the silence of doubting themselves. In any case, it is impossible to imagine that the person who was sweating like rain on the martial arts field, but with a hearty air, personally went into battle and chopped off the heads of the two personal soldiers of Zida Muzi was a woman.
This is obviously a talented young man, how can he be a woman? Women can achieve such a level, they are easily compared by He Yan, and there is no one in Liangzhou Wei who can compare with He Yan. Does it mean that these big men are no better than a sixteen or seventeen-year-old. little girl
If they were only shocked and shocked by the fact that He Yan was a woman, then His Majesty's marriage to Xiao Jue and He Yan made these coaches shudder.
Before Tian Lang left, he kindly and vaguely reminded Shen Han, "The Governor attaches great importance to Miss He."
Joke, more than just value? The first blooming of this iron tree, which has not bloomed for ten thousand years, is to the civil and military officials in the imperial court, in front of the emperor and the queen. As soon as the celebration banquet is over, rumors spread, and everyone is talking about the gentleness of the right army governor. Waiting for the "favourite".
So here comes the problem, Dudu Xiao is so considerate to the person he likes. They torture and train the person he likes, and they often make the little girl run under the load. The next stop in the sun is the devil coach for a few hours. Dudu Xiao is dissatisfied with them, and he How much is it worth
Hard to say.
Ma Damei's face was white, "In the winter in Liangzhou, I used to soak in the hot spring with Miss He..."
Everyone's faces were ashen, especially the happiest teacher who was making a fuss at the time, he was about to cry. They now understand why He Yan refused to go into the water in every possible way, and said that he had a hidden illness, so it turned out that he was a girl at all? Fortunately, even if Xiao Jue appeared at that time, otherwise the development will continue, and maybe they will have a hidden illness in this room now.
"That... what should we do now?" someone asked tremblingly.
"What should I do?" Shen Han said: "Just do your own thing, what does it have to do with you guys!"
Although it seems now that he believed in how stupid He Yan and Xiao Jue were about breaking their sleeves and splitting peaches, Shen Han felt that he was also quite farsighted. At least he could see the unusual atmosphere between the two at a glance, didn't he? On the way of standing on these two people, Shen Han has never gone astray, but now he has just changed from a man to a woman, what's the problem
Anyway, he has always stood firmly on the side of Xiao Jue and He Yan, He Yan is a man of temperament, and should...
…
Chu Linfeng's mansion is also very happy today.
Shi Jinbo was in the capital of Shuo and said that he was an official family, but the scenery has not been as good as before. Among the three sons of Chu Linfeng's direct descendants, except for the eldest son who found a small official position in Shuojing City and was bought by Mrs. Chu with money, the remaining two direct sons failed to enter the official position. On the contrary, the concubine who was picked up by the outside world has now become the most promising one. Not only is he a proud student of the prime minister today, but he is now the prime minister's son-in-law. With this relationship in the Chu family, why not be prosperous in the future
Thinking of this, Chu Linfeng was very proud. When he returned to the mansion after the celebration feast, he immediately sent people to publicize and buy things. He also said that Chu Zhao's yard would be renovated so that Xu Pingting would marry into the Chu family. , not to think that their yard is shabby.
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Linfeng's undisguised joy with cold eyes, and did not say anything, but her three sons were a little angry, and they showed anger. After Chu Linfeng left, she complained in front of Mrs. Chu: " Dad's heart is a little too biased! It's just the son of a brothel woman, so he got a little momentum and that's it. When the three of us got married, Dad wasn't as happy as today."
This is true. Although Chu Linfeng did not treat these three sons lightly, he also disliked them for being too mediocre. Compared to them, he preferred Chu Zhao, who made him look good in front of his colleagues. When Chu Zhao first arrived at the Chu family, the three brothers bullied him a lot, and Madam Chu wanted to get rid of Chu Zhao when he was older—just like those concubines. What's abhorrent is that this kid didn't know how to learn how to be cunning, so he coaxed Chu Linfeng into ecstasy, and took him wherever he went, so that Mrs. Chu couldn't find a chance to start, and later on, he got into the relationship with Xu Xiang. With Xu Xiang's people, Mrs. Chu did not dare to act rashly.
"His mother used her face to eat and gave birth to a son, and the same is true," Chu San Gongzi said very meanly, "Chu Si is better than her mother, at least selling her body to the Xu family in the capital is considered a sale. Good price."
Madam Chu frowned.
Although she didn't like Chu Zhao either, and wished that Chu Zhao would die suddenly in the suburbs tomorrow, but she didn't want her sons to become as bitter and mean as women because of this. Sometimes when I think about it, don't blame Chu Linfeng for loving Chu Zhao. For the three sons he gave birth to, he was probably spoiled since childhood. Compared with Chu Zhao, he was indeed much worse.
"Could it be that the kid will just keep going?" The eldest son of Chu said unwillingly, "In this way, we will have no room to talk in the Chu family in the future!"
"No need to worry." Mrs. Chu laughed, her tone gloomy, "Do you really think that the Prime Minister's daughter is so easy to marry? Don't forget, there is a shy Ying Xiang beside Chu Zilan."
