Now that things have been decided, Cheng Xiaolian began to arrange the matter of returning to Chengdu, and the affairs of Shaanxi are going on in an orderly manner, even if Daniel Zhang or Cai Yurong suddenly launch a crazy attack on Shaanxi, they can block it for a while.

The effect of training the military in winter is not bad, after all, there is a saying in martial arts training, called winter training Sanjiu, summer training Sanfu, but as long as the military can persist in such days, it can be more tenacious in the future.

Of course, there is no problem with training soldiers at this time, if it is a war, it is different, the soldiers have to deal with the bad weather environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to deal with the fierce enemy, so it is easy to lose morale, just like Chen Fu wanted to suppress the army in Gansu to fight desperately in the winter, but it backfired, causing the soldiers to rebound, and finally even his head was cut off by the angry soldiers.

Half a month later, the team rushed back to Chengdu Mansion, and it was naturally easy for the civil and military officials of Chengdu Mansion to go out of the city to greet them, but what made Cheng Xiaolian feel depressed was that none of the women he wanted to marry could be seen, and there seemed to be no way to ask the thoughts of other girls.

went to Mao's house, the Mao family politely entertained him, when he proposed to meet Mao Ruoling, those people were full of smiles: "Your Highness, as long as you become a relative, there is time to meet, why rush at this time, this is not a few days, when the time comes, whatever His Highness meets, we absolutely don't care." ”

Cheng Xiaolian had no choice but to go to Fengge again, who knew that the head of Fengge spoke even more bluntly: "Your Highness, don't think that we look down on us when we run this business, our girl's family is all innocent girls, she must understand etiquette, there has never been such a thing, Your Highness should not force us, although Your Highness can rest assured, we will definitely take care of Xiaoqi and marry you for nothing." ”

Cheng Xiaolian had no choice but to return to the house, the old man Wen also brought his girl home at this time, Aunt Jing came to Shaanxi with Cheng Xiaolian, under some persuasion, the old man Wen came to know his girl's thoughts, and secondly, Cheng Xiaolian They are not considered to be rogues, so that they will not be cut off by someone tomorrow when they get married today, and their own girl's future life can be regarded as having a settlement.

Yang Youcai saw Cheng Xiaolian's sad appearance and was startled: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" You're going to get married, you won't run away from marriage, will you? ”

"Escape a fart, I originally wanted to change the world, but now I find that I can't even change my life's events."

Of course, Yang Youcai didn't understand what he was talking about changing the system, but frowned: "This world has been changed by Your Highness, don't you see that our Ming Dynasty is about to return to the country?" As for changing your life's events, Your Highness, it's not that I said you, you are too childlike, isn't this marriage just a formality, your status, no one will say anything if you marry 1,800 in the future, and you will marry all the people you like in the future, besides, don't you like these three girls. ”

Cheng Xiaolian couldn't cry or laugh: "I found out that I told you that I was playing the piano to the cow, you go, I want to be quiet." ”

"Oh, Your Highness, you haven't been married, so you think too much, remember, just plunge into it, once you are born and twice mature, and when you get married again in the future, you don't feel anything."

"Then why can't I even meet them?"

"Your Royal Highness, this is the etiquette, the rules set by the ancestors naturally have their own reasons, just like why do you want to kowtow three heads when worshipping your ancestors, don't kowtow to four heads, isn't this the rule left by the ancestors, everything is done according to our ideas, and we are comfortable living freely, people will say that we are not educated, and then the Manchu court will scold us for being barbarian."

Cheng Xiaolian understands that he is not doing these things for anything else, but to prove to the world that the Ming Dynasty, which has a thorough etiquette, is back, and many gentry are deeply influenced by Confucianism and think that the ancestral etiquette cannot be abolished, so when the head shaving order is issued, there will be so many uprisings and rebellions, you live a barbarian life, and you can't turn us into barbarians.

Because there was an order to shave the head first, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no choice but to continue to allow the daughters of the common people to bind their feet, so that in the later years, it was basically difficult for women who did not bind their feet to marry. This is a bit harsher than the previous dynasty.

What Cheng Xiaolian is doing now is to respect the ancestral etiquette, and to prove to the gentry of the world that the Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty temporarily occupies a high position, but they do not understand the etiquette law, and they are still barbarians in the eyes of many scholars.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "That's it, just marry your daughter-in-law to the family in the end, and toss as much as you want." ”

Yang Youcai smiled: "It's not that I want to toss, but it coincides with the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and this first happy event must be done to make a sensation in the world, so that more people can accept us in advance, otherwise when we reach their doorstep, they will think about it for more than ten days and delay things." ”

"By the way, what did you come to me for?"

"I just received news today that a large number of cavalry were dispatched from Lintao Mansion, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes tightened: "Daniel Zhang moved?" How dare he send troops in this kind of weather? ”

"It should have moved, but it's all cavalry, and we can't predict where it will be."

"Immediately inform General Yuan of Shaanxi and let him put the tanma farther away, is this Daniel Zhang crazy? At this time, he dared to send troops, and sent someone to keep an eye on Cai Yurong, I think Cai Yurong is very likely to do it. Let's get ready to go back. ”

"Your Highness, by all means. Now that the news of His Royal Highness's big wedding has been announced to the world, the eyes of the whole world are staring at Chengdu Mansion, once His Royal Highness is forced to dare not become a relative, Daniel Zhang's purpose will be achieved, besides, it is already winter, he is a cavalry, as long as he does not open the city gate, any city, he can't attack it for a while, His Highness can't miss a big thing because of this little thing. ”

"Now that Daniel Zhang is dispatched, Cai Yurong may also be sharpening his knife, is this still called a trivial matter?"

"Your Highness, do you remember what we discussed with the military advisor back then? Now it is winter, if Cai Yurong dares to send troops, he will have to send troops with several times more casualties, and besides, in winter, he will run out of food and grass if he can't support it for a few days. That's not one or two hundred people, it's an army of 100,000, and he can't grab the grain, and if he robs the grain in Shanxi, he will help us, so His Highness must not be disturbed. ”

Cheng Xiaolian rubbed his brows: "But how can I still be in the mood to get married at this time." ”

"Your Highness, it is better for you to marry at this time than to win a battle, otherwise Master Kong would not have traveled thousands of miles to Xi'an Mansion to persuade you to come back and marry, we have so many soldiers, Your Highness can marry with peace of mind."

It's a little late today, but I'm going to make up for the one I owe a few days ago, so forgive me.
