Ma Lantou was stunned on the spot, opened her mouth and said, "Miss...... miss" But then it seemed that her throat was pinched by others, and she couldn't spit out a word, and she looked at her mother-in-law, but she really didn't expect Liu Miaozhen to make up her mind in her heart, dumbfounded and speechless.

"Miaozhen is willing to marry Lin Jian as a concubine!" Liu Miaozhen calmly repeated her words again.

After a while, Ma Lantou licked his chapped lips, but what he said was only half of the words: "Miss, you are ......" There are some things that can't be said or asked, except for shock, I really don't know what to say, and at the end, I sighed, stretched out my leg and kicked my mother-in-law, stood up and said: "Let my aunt talk to the eldest lady, I remember that there are still things that have not been explained clearly to Li Liang's cub......" Then he put on his robe, took him with him, and went to talk to Li Liang.

It happened that Sun Zhuang was looking for Li Liang to drink - Sun Zhuang's family was in Chongzhou, he had nothing to worry about in Xuzhou City, he was not in the barracks, he didn't participate in the deliberations, so he looked for the old robes to drink all day long, either at Ma Lantou's house, or in Li Liang's house - when he saw Ma Lantou coming over, he smiled and said: "I stewed mutton and scalded the wine, and I was thinking about sending someone to invite you over, but I was afraid that your mother-in-law and aunt would nag, but I didn't expect your nose to be like a dog, and you ran over by yourself...... "Pull him to sit down and drink."

Sun Zhuang is now the descendant general of the Huaidong Army, and Ma Lantou thought that the matter of the eldest lady would have to be discussed with Li Liang in private, so he sat down and cheered.

Li Liang saw that Ma Lan didn't say a word for the first half of the day, thinking that he had something hidden in his stomach, and asked: "Ma Shuai sat here for a long time without saying a word, but what did he encounter?" ”

"The old horse just has a crooked stomach and a lot of intestines, I'm afraid I think I'm an eyesore here, right?" Sun Zhuang glanced at Ma Lan and asked.

"Isn't it a headache for awards?" Ma Lantou said.

"That's a big thing? The generals are meritorious, and the wine and meat are rewarded to the mother-in-law, can you just follow the old rules? Although it is not easy to reward mother-in-law now, but the wife is separated a lot, and it is easy to live as a family, Huaidong has all kinds of preferential treatment for military families, who wants to be willing to ask for a daughter-in-law, it is also easy," Sun Zhuang said, "Didn't the adults also say: You plan to come up with a statement, the military department should not be, what are you worried about?" ”

"Alas," Ma Lantou sighed lightly and said, "After all, this Huaiyang Town and Huaidong are different from inside and outside, how can the use of the pension award be extended to the military secretary?" ”

Hearing Ma Lantou say this, Sun Zhuang was unhappy, put down his chopsticks, spit out a large piece of mutton that was half-chewed in his mouth into the plate, and sneered: "Why are you still planning to pull people out to stand on their own!" In the past two years, the military department has fed hundreds of thousands of truckloads of rice and white noodles, why did they feed pigs and dogs? Is it difficult, if you pull people out, you can cut the land and seal the king and marquis, and it will be a loss to you today! His hands were on his knees, his eyes widened, and he wanted to swallow the ungrateful Malan alive.

Li Liang was silent, and he also misunderstood Ma Lantou's meaning - Ma Lantou was not in a hurry to sip the wine in the cup, and said: "I don't want to be different from inside and outside, but our foundation is not cleaner than others......

Sun Zhuang asked angrily: "My lord went to Huaiyang alone, but he didn't have any reservations about you; So far, in Xuzhou City, the garrison is also dominated by the Huaiyang Army - what are you worried about? Are you worried, or does the eldest lady have some ideas? "Xuzhou has been victorious, Huaiyang Town and Huaidong are almost integrated, Sun Zhuang doesn't want to make any demon moths at this time and make a break.

"The eldest lady is still in my house, and your sister-in-law is accompanying the eldest lady - she was talking about the award of merit, but the eldest lady suddenly said that she wanted to marry the adult as a concubine...... "Ma Lantou said.

"......" Sun Zhuang almost flashed his tongue, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak.

Li Liang also asked with a snort: "This, this, why did you suddenly make such a fuss?" ”

There are some things that can't be said or asked in front of Liu Miaozhen, but in front of Li Liang and Sun Zhuang, Ma Lantou didn't have too many worries, and said: "I just said that there is a difference between inside and outside, Sun Zhuang, this calf blows his beard and stares at me." We touched our chests and said, the adults treat us well, but maybe the generals below have concerns, and maybe the others in Huaidong will have other ideas. I also thought about it, it is a good thing that Huaiyang completely joined Huaidong, everyone has a head, but what about the eldest lady and the young son? ”

"......" Li Liang took a breath of cool air, some of which he really couldn't say.

In the past, the Huaisi army was dominated by Liu An'er, and after the Huaisi War, the generals were mainly Liu Miaozhen, and regarded Liu An'er's widow as the young master - the world's most loyal and righteous, and the "young master" was quite taboo.

Once it becomes an obstacle, sometimes it is difficult to save one's life, and the argument of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots" is by no means groundless.

Liu Miaozhen marrying Lin Tie as a concubine can skillfully resolve this obstacle, and Lin Tie, as a husband, takes over the military power of Huaiyang Town, which becomes natural and righteous, and can convince the generals, and there will be no hidden danger of fighting for power in the future.

Liu An'er's widow will not be suspicious because of his identity as a "young master", but he can keep a lifetime of wealth in Huaidong.

"In addition to adults, who else in the world can be worthy of the eldest lady, why are you all sad?" Sun Zhuang shouted, "When An Shuai was there, he intended to recruit Qin Zitan into the fold; Looking at Qin Zitan's bear-like appearance, where is he worthy of the eldest lady?

"Oh yes!" Li Liang laughed and said, "In the play, it is sung that 'I would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife', I think this is reasonable!" ”

"This is said lightly, if it can be like this, it is also a consummation, but who brings it up at this point?" Ma Lantou said.

"Men and women love, big fart, I'll talk about it." Sun Zhuang took the initiative to ask Ying, and stood up to say something.

"You are a bad person, good things will also mess you up," Ma Lantou stopped Sun Zhuang and said, "How can you take care of the face of the eldest lady and Huaiyang Jun!" ”

After the initial shock, Ma Lantou left home and rushed to Li Liang's side to figure it out: In addition to the eldest lady, it is really difficult to have a satisfactory choice.

Not to mention that the eldest lady has a very high vision, where is the identity of the eldest lady, who will, who can, who dares to marry the eldest lady as a wife and concubine, you can't let the eldest lady live alone, right?

The key question is, who should bring this up? Ma Lantou had a headache for this problem at this time. If he or other Huaiyang generals came forward to mention this matter, it would be somewhat "selling the owner for glory", Ma Lantou didn't want to poke others in the back, so he couldn't let the eldest lady run to the door by herself, right?

At this moment, a small colonel in Ma Lantou's house ran in small steps, panting, and Ma Lantou asked him, "What is the fuss about?" ”

"The eldest lady has gone to the adult's trip, and the lady wants the little one to come and tell Ma Shuai!"

Ma Lantou, Li Liang, and Sun Zhuang looked at each other, and thought in their hearts: Miss Helu really wants to marry herself!

"What should I do?" Li Liang asked.

"Big fart, drink wine and eat meat!" Sun Zhuang shouted.

Ma Lantou shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Drink wine and eat meat, drink wine and eat meat!" ”

************

Lin Jian also just returned to the back house to rest, Su Mei personally cooked and cooked the soup, and the dishes were just put on the table, so he had to report that Liu Miaozhen had something to come to ask for a meeting.

Seeing that Liu Miaozhen and Ma Lantou's mother-in-law came in civilian clothes, Lin Jian did not let the female relatives avoid it, but spoke in the wing room and asked, "General Liu came over at this time, what is the important matter?" ”

"Miaozhen wants to be sisters with the Su family's sister and Mrs. Xiaoman." Liu Miaozhen said.

Liu Miaozhen's tone was too calm, although her request was abrupt, Lin Jian didn't want to go anywhere else, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing, when you choose a good day and an auspicious time, let you marry Jinlan......"

But it was Su Mei, who was standing on Lin Bin's side, who was clever, saw Ma Lantou's wife with a strange look, and thought of the "sister" in Liu Miaozhen's mouth, Xu had other intentions, when Song Jia was in Xuzhou, she was talking to her about Liu Miaozhen's marriage with a smile, at this time, she was scheming, and thought of this, but how could there be a girl who ran to the door to recommend herself as a wife and concubine, and felt incredible, afraid of guessing the wrong and embarrassing, she gently pushed Lin Lian's shoulder, and said: "Miss Liu's martial arts are powerful in the world, and she has the talent to stabilize the country and the country, and I and Xiaoman are both concubines- If you want to marry Jin Lan with Miss Liu, you should have to be a lady to have this qualification......"

Giving Su Mei this reminder, Lin Jian was also stunned, holding the teacup in his hand and leaning towards his mouth, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Miaozhen's face.

"Miaozhen's posture is unbearable in the eyes of adults, but it ......," Liu Miaozhen said with a look.

Lin Lian's hand shook, the hot tea splashed on his chin, his chest was wet, so hot that Lin Lian only inhaled, hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it with his sleeve, and didn't forget to say to Liu Miaozhen in his mouth: "You say it slowly, and say it slowly, who burned this tea, you have to burn me to death?" "Not only did I feel a burning pain in my jaw, but I also felt like there were nails on my chair.

This kind of thing is too sudden for Lin Bin, I don't know how to deal with it, it just so happened that Gao Zongting came over to discuss something, and waited in the outer house, and the guards came in to invite him. Lin Jian escaped and fled, and when he walked to the door, he thought that he couldn't run away like this, so he turned around and said, "General Liu and Mrs. Ma stayed in the back house for dinner, I discussed things with Mr. Gao, and then... Again..."I don't know how to answer.

Su Mei said: "Sister Liu has us with you, and you go to see Mr. Gao." ”

Lin Jian also walked to the study house of the outer mansion as if he had escaped, Gao Zongting saw that Lin Lian's chest was wet, and said: "It's not a matter of urgency, adults can change their clothes and see Zongting again......"

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!" Lin Jian told Liu Miaozhen about the inner house.

Gao Zongting was stunned, and then he praised loudly: "General Liu is really a peerless strange woman!" ”
