On the sixteenth day of the first month, Chang invited the official media to come to the Han family to propose marriage. In just half a day, the well-informed people in Ho City knew the news that the Feng family and the Han family were going to get married.

When Xiao Shi heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief: "How is this possible? The eldest girl of the Han family is two years older than Feng Dajun's son, how can she get married?"

The chief butler said, "There should be nothing wrong with this news. "In Ho City, there shouldn't be anyone who risks offending the princess to damage the reputation of the eldest girl of the Han family, so the big housekeeper thinks that this news should be true.

Xiao still didn't believe it, and when Yuan Ying came back in the evening, he told him about it: "This shouldn't be true, right?" Xiao had already fallen in love with Qiqi for his eldest son, but the Han family never gave an accurate answer.

Yuan Ying had been busy and didn't know about it: "This kind of thing won't be spread randomly, since someone said it, it should be true." Yuan Ying has always felt that his own power is a little weak, and he wants to find a helpful wife for his son. In Ho City, there is no more powerful than the Han family. First, the Han family is the princess's maiden family, and secondly, Han Jianming is a feudal official, and Han Jianye is also a general who holds great power from the second rank. With the momentum of the Han family, he will definitely be able to give his son a great boost. It's a pity that the Han family didn't reply, which made him very disappointed.

Xiao Shi felt very uncomfortable, and said: "That kid of the Feng family is two years younger than the eldest girl of the Han family! I don't know what the Han family likes about that kid?"

Yuan Ying thought for a moment and said: "Feng Zhiao is the companion of the prince, and it is estimated that he was selected by the Han family for this reason. ”

Xiao Shi thought more: "You mean that this marriage is the meaning of the princess?" She also felt strange, this marriage was too unusual. If it is the princess's intention, it is not surprising.

Yuan Ying shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Ho Cheng is not only the girl of the Han family, but also the one who has picked the best one for Chen'er. "Although there are some regrets, people have already decided, and there is no point in saying anything.

Xiao Shi was very unhappy, but he didn't say anything. After her brother's incident, she was a little afraid of Yuxi in her heart, don't look at the usual peace and temperament, she is not merciless at all.

Du Shao came back a day late because of something at home, and when he returned to the palace and saw Feng Zhiao, he joked: "Big brother's mouth is really tight, he didn't even tell us about such a big happy event." ”

Cui Weiqi asked a little strangely, "What kind of happy event?" Cui Weiqi's family is not in Ho City, so he is spending the New Year in the palace, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world.

Du Shao said with a smile: "The eldest brother is going to marry the eldest girl of the Han family." After speaking, Du Shao teased Brother Hua: "Fourth brother, you will become the brother-in-law of the eldest brother in the future." ”

Cui Weiqi looked at Feng Zhiao and asked, "Big brother, is this true?" Seeing Feng Zhiao nodding, Cui Weiqi said with a smile: "Sister Han is knowledgeable and has a good temperament, and the eldest brother is blessed to be able to marry Sister Han." ”

Feng Zhiao was a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said, "I also found out before my father returned to Xihai." Before returning to the West Sea, Feng Dajun told Feng Zhiao about this.

Feng Zhiao was very surprised at the time, he had been a guest at Han's house before, and he had seen Qiqi. In Feng Zhiao's mind, Qiqi is like a person who came out of the painting, and he never thought that such a woman would become his wife in the future.

Brother Hao saw Brother Hua'er's calm face and asked, "Cousin, you already knew about this?"

Hua Ge'er shook his head and said, "I just knew." "Maybe the reason why I stayed in Zhuangzi, Hua Ge'er doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he really cherishes words like gold.

Cui Weiqi smiled: "If you hadn't said it yourself, you would have thought you would have known it a long time ago." ”

Brother Hao said, "Okay, let's go into the house! Mr. will be here soon." "In the astronomy and geography course, Brother Hao didn't force them to take it, but he didn't expect that all four of them would follow him. According to Feng Zhiao, fighting a war is also about knowing the terrain, and you should learn it in advance.

Both families were interested, and soon completed the process, and the Feng family sent a dowry gift to the Han family.

The Feng family is sincere, and the dowry gift this time is 48 pieces of silk and satin, and there are eight pairs of dragon and phoenix red gold bracelets and red gold hairpins. In addition, there are abalone, sea cucumbers, scallops, etc., three livestock wine, four seasons tea, candy and other objects. It was also Feng Dajun who had made a lot of money with Yunqing over the years, otherwise he would never have been able to get such a rich dowry.

Lu Xiu accepted the dowry and asked people to carry these things to Qiqi's own yard. At the age of seven, seven or eight, she was able to take care of her own yard, and at the age of ten, she began to learn housekeeping, and these dowries were the most suitable for her own yard.

Ye Shi knew that the Feng family had sent a dowry, and tears fell again: "My son, if you have such a family, you will have to suffer in the future." Ye fainted immediately when he heard Lu Xiu say that Qiqi was allowed by Han Jianming to be the eldest son of the Feng family.

Qiqi straightened his spine and said: "The Feng family values me so much, my mother should be happy, how can I say such a thing? If I let the Feng family know what to think of me?"

Qiqi has been raised by his grandmother since he was five years old, and he began to learn from his husband at the age of six. Because of the examples of Yuxi and Yuchen in the past, Han Jianming only asked Qiqi to choose one from the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to learn, and the rest of the time he mainly learned some useful things. And Qiqi likes to read very much, which is very similar to Yuxi. Over the years, Qiqi has also developed a bookish spirit.

Ye wiped his tears and said: "Don't worry, the Feng family is just a nouveau riche, and if you can marry you, his family burned high incense." They don't dare to treat you badly. "In the Ye family's heart, the son of the Feng family is not worthy of his daughter at all.

Qiqi has always had a good temper, but Ye's words still made her a little irritable. The benefits of this marriage, Lu Xiu has analyzed it very clearly with her. Moreover, Feng Zhiao has also seen it, except for the fact that he is two years younger than her, which is a little unsatisfactory, there is really nothing else to fault.

Qiqi suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said patiently: "Mother, General Feng is a general with 300,000 in his hands, and he is the person my uncle relies on the most. If I don't do what they want, they treat me poorly, and my father won't turn his face with the Feng family for me. Mother, in the end, I am the one who suffers. "If you marry the Feng family with the mentality that her mother said, you don't have to think about it in the future, and you will know that you will not have a good life.

Ye became more and more sad.

Qiqi said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to live a good life if I marry into the Feng family." "My aunt married my uncle in that situation, and she was able to live a good life. She has such favorable conditions, and she can live a better life.

The marriage has been decided, even if the Ye family cries to death, there can be no more changes in the marriage.

It's the end of the month in a blink of an eye. Yunqing has already set up an itinerary and traveled on the sixth day of February. Zao Zao found Yunqing: "Dad, you can take me this time!"

Yunqing didn't refuse, just smiled and said, "Your mother has to agree to this, otherwise your father won't be able to take you there." "Yuxi will definitely not agree to let Zao Zao go with him.

Zao Zao hurriedly said: "Dad, as long as you decide, my mother will not object." "Yunqing made a decision, Yuxi basically did not object.

Yunqing shook his head and said, "Your mother is in charge of everything in the family, and it doesn't matter what my father says." After speaking, Yun Qing patted the back of Zao Zao on the shoulder and said, "Don't say it again." If your mother doesn't agree, your father won't take you away. ”

Zao Zao was very disappointed.

When Brother You saw Zaojube, she looked wrong and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Zao Zao didn't say anything because Brother You was young: "I want to go to the battlefield with my father, but my father and mother don't agree." "I was too young at the beginning, and I was fooled by my father. Feng Zhiao went to war with his father when he was ten years old, but she had to wait until she was thirteen years old.

Brother You has little interest in fighting: "What is there to go on the battlefield except for the dead or the dead?" Although Brother You is not afraid of blood, he doesn't like to see the dead.

Zao Zao became more depressed: "I wouldn't have told you if I had known." "The Tao is not the same, it is said that she is like You Ge'er.

Brother You smiled happily and said, "It's not difficult if you really want to go, and after your father leaves, you will secretly follow behind." Dad can't drive you back when the time comes!" Fortunately, Yunqing went out with very few things, otherwise Brother You might have let the dates hide in the box.

Without waiting for Zao Zao to speak, Brother Hao walked in from the outside, looked at Brother You and said, "You will have a bad idea?"

Brother You was not angry, and said with a smile: "I also see that the eldest sister really wants to go, and I am thinking of a way for him!"

Brother Hao patted the back of Brother You'er's head and said, "Do you know how many people want to put our family to death? If the eldest sister sneaks out of the mansion without a guard to follow, once someone knows about it, the eldest sister will be in danger." ”

Touching the back of the beaten head, Brother You said with a complaining face: "Brother, don't pat me on the head in the future." I'm not as smart as you, and if you slap me on the head again, I'll be even more stupid. ”

Brother Hao said angrily: "It's okay to be stupid, at least I won't always have some bad ideas." After speaking, Brother Hao said to Zaojuo: "Eldest sister, Daddy and Mother have their own considerations for letting you turn thirteen years old and then go to the battlefield." You must not listen to the nonsense of the little brother, and really sneak out. ”

Zao Zao was indeed a little moved just now, but after listening to Brother Hao'er's words, he immediately dispelled this idea. Zao Zao flicked at Brother You'er's forehead and said, "Ah Hao is right, you know that you have a bad idea." ”

Brother You'er looked aggrieved: "Sister, isn't it you who I'm doing this? You even beat me too? If something happens in the future, I won't help you anymore." "Just because he's small, it's so bad to bully him one or two.

Zao Zao sighed, the voice pulled the old elder, and then asked, "You won't help me if I have something in the future?"

Brother You hurriedly covered his forehead and took a few steps back, and then said, "What does the eldest sister want me to do, the younger brother has absolutely nothing to say." "Annoyed the eldest brother, and at most was preached. Annoys the eldest brother, that's a beating!

Brother Hao said: "Forget it this time, if you come up with such a bad idea next time, I will tell my mother." "Under normal circumstances, Brother Hao will not tell Yuxi about the matter between brothers, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding. But if Brother You repeatedly says that he won't change, then he has to say it.

Where do you have two words?

The next day, Brother Hao specially took half an hour's leave with his husband and went to the front yard to find Yuxi. He told Yuxi about jujubes: "Mother, the eldest sister is better than Brother Zhi Ao's martial arts, why don't you let her go to the battlefield? Brother Zhi Ao followed Uncle Dajun to the battlefield at the age of ten. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Yuxi's mouth and asked, "Are you interceding for your eldest sister?"

Brother Hao didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." Mother, my father told my grandfather that as long as you agree, my eldest sister can follow my father to the battlefield this time. ”

Yuxi pulled Brother Hao to sit down and said, "You said that your eldest sister's martial arts are higher than Zhi Ao's, but this battlefield is not judged by martial arts. ”

Brother Hao knew that it would not be so easy to convince Yuxi: "Mother, the eldest sister followed her father just to see the real battlefield, and she didn't have to be allowed to go to the battlefield." "Because his father won't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "The mother you said naturally knows." My mother didn't let your sister go because your sister was still too impatient and had to grind again. After speaking, Yuxi gently patted the back of Brother Hao'er's hand and said, "If this woman wants to make a career in the army, she has to work several times harder than a man." If she doesn't even have this patience, how will she fight with those men in the future. ”

Brother Hao suddenly said: "So that's the case!" At this point, it was difficult for him to intercede with Yuxi anymore.

Yuxi smiled and said, "You are different from your sister, as long as your father and your grandfather agree, you can go to the battlefield with your father." "Brother Hao has a calm temperament, and he doesn't worry about safety when he follows Yunqing, Yuxi has no objection to him going to the battlefield for training. After all, Brother Hao'er's identity is destined to be impossible for him to be calm in his life.

Knowing that the son is like the mother, Brother Hao also wants to go to the battlefield. This time, half of the intercession for Zao Zao is for himself. As long as she sets this precedent and agrees to let Zao Zao go to the battlefield now, then Brother Hao can also use the same reason to persuade her in the future.

When Brother Hao heard this, how could he not know that his little caution was seen through by Yuxi, and he was immediately a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Wu's voice sounded outside: "Princess, prince, Lord Tan asks to see." ”

Brother Hao hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, then you are busy, I will go back to class." ”

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead!"

At noon, Brother Hao told Zao Zao about it: "Sister, I couldn't convince my mother, I'm sorry." ”

Zao Zao has already thought about it, and when he heard this, he said with a smile: "You help me intercede with my mother, why do you still say I'm sorry?"

Brother Hao relayed Yuxi's words: "Eldest sister, I didn't expect my mother to say these words. ”

Zao Zao was very surprised: "Really?" Seeing Brother Hao nodding, Zao Zao said depressedly: "Mother is too kind of one over the other." ”

Brother Hao hurriedly said: "I am a boy, and I am the son of the palace, so it is necessary for me to go to the battlefield earlier." But you are a girl's family, and it will be difficult to lead the troops to fight in the future if you go to the army too early and do not get everyone's approval. Eldest sister, my mother is also good for you, don't complain about my mother!"

Seeing Brother Hao'er's nervous appearance, Zao Zao said with a smile: "That's what I said, I didn't really complain about my mother." ”
