Four days later.

The army has returned to Chenliu.

Wu Liang held a family banquet that night, firstly to welcome the arrival of Bailiji and Zou Xuan, and secondly to arrange for Bailiji and Bailixiang to get to know their father and daughter.

The father and daughter burst into tears when they met.

However, the overall atmosphere of the family dinner was still joyful, during which Wu Liang also briefly introduced Zou Xuan's situation to everyone.

Of course, he did not tell everyone that Zou Xuan was actually a reward given to him by Boss Cao. He only said that Zou Xuan knew the art of acupuncture and was of great use to the Hu people's army who had no medical officer and had nowhere to go due to the war, so he gave it to him.

He brought it back.

"Is it really just that?"

Naturally, Zhen Mi would not believe it easily, and while looking up and down Zou Xuan's figure, she teased pointedly.

"I am a gift from General Cao to the gentleman. From now on, I will be the gentleman's person."

Zou Xuan was as direct as ever, explaining to everyone with a calm expression.

"well?"

Zhen Mi immediately showed a look of surprise.

Her original intention was to expose the fact that Wu Liang actually fell in love with Zou Xuan's appearance and took Zou Xuan home because of her lust, but she didn't expect that this was actually the case.

"?"

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this.

They all knew about the marriage between Wu Liang and Cao Ni. Now that the wedding was getting closer, Boss Cao rewarded Wu Liang with a beauty, and she was also a married woman.

This is very abnormal no matter how you look at it. Could it be that Cao Ni has some hidden illness, so Boss Cao first sent Wu Liang a maid with his brother-in-law?

In this era, "tongfang yatou" was very common in the intermarriages of noble families. In addition to taking on the responsibility of serving the master, the tongfang maid was also responsible for the master's physical needs.

The master conducts sexual intercourse.

And if the mistress is infertile, the intercourse girl will have to take on the responsibility of taking the mistress’ place to continue the male master’s offspring...

If not, everyone would really not be able to understand what Boss Cao is thinking.

Of course Wu Liang would not admit that he had made up the story of Cao Thief's Disease for himself, and immediately said carelessly: "Ming Gong insists on rewarding me, what can I do, I can only be forced to accept it, right? But Zou

Xuan's acupuncture skills were indeed excellent. When he was in Wancheng, Duke Ming fainted inexplicably. The medical officers in the army and the doctors in the city were helpless. Only Zou Xuan stepped forward to perform acupuncture on Duke Min. Soon after, Duke Ming died.

She woke up, and now that she has come to the Huren Army, the Huren Army also has a reliable medical officer, come, come, come, for this we must have a drink together to celebrate!"

"Sister Zou is very beautiful and has excellent acupuncture skills. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhen Mi didn't follow his lead, and still squinted with her eyes wide open.

"Mi'er, gentleman, although I am not a good man or woman, I never force others to do anything. Don't you understand me?"

Wu Liang asked back with some guilt.

"Since General Cao rewarded me to the gentleman, the gentleman has never touched me, let alone forced me to do anything."

Zou Xuan seemed to have clearly seen Wu Liang's family relationship, and at this time he opened his mouth to help Wu Liang, but added at the end, "But since I have become a gentleman, I should do my best."

Duty, if the gentleman always treats me like this, it will only make me feel that I am useless and unworthy of the gentleman’s support.”

"Sister Zou, that's not what I meant."

Zhen Mi immediately stepped forward and took Zou Xuan's arm. She looked at Wu Liang and said in a more serious tone, "Don't be fooled by his appearance. He is actually a very patient wolf. He didn't eat you not because he didn't want to."

I will eat you just because the time has not come yet. When the time comes, you will not be able to escape even if you want to."

"..."

Zou Xuan wisely chose to remain silent.

"Sister Bai, why don't you say a word? Shouldn't you be here to persuade her?"

Zhen Mi tried to bring Bai Jingjing in to run against Wu Liang.

"Me? I'd better forget it. I've already been... I'm just a follower with a mission. I have no right to make irresponsible remarks on your family affairs."

Bai Jingjing didn't say anything, but her words were full of spikes.

However, Wu Liang could also hear that Zhen Mi and Bai Jingjing were not dissatisfied with this incident, nor did they have a crush on Zou Xuan. They just took this opportunity to tease him a few words, which was regarded as giving him a verbal warning.

After all, they had even accepted the fact that Wu Liang was about to marry Cao Ni and they were nominally concubines from then on, so naturally this matter was nothing.

What's more, there are ten beauties in Wu Liang's house who were rewarded by Boss Cao. Wu Liang has not done anything to them so far, which is enough to show that Wu Liang is not that kind of abuser.

…

On the next day, Zou Xuan and Bailiji were taken to the Yongqiu Army garrison by Wu Liang, and worked with Bailixiang and Sun Ye to restore the wooden armor.

Since then, the R&D team under Wu Liang has expanded to four people. Not only will it be possible to get twice the result with half the effort, but it is not difficult to imagine that this R&D team will definitely bring him more surprises.

at the same time.

Mrs. Ding also sent someone to deliver the message. She had already found someone to arrange a good life for Wu Liang and Cao Ni, just ten days later.

As for whether to prepare a betrothal gift and how much betrothal gift to prepare, Mrs. Ding did not say clearly and just told Wu Liang to figure it out on his own.

This is also the reason why Wu Liang did not see Cao Ni when he came back this time.

According to the rules at this time, after the wedding date is set, the girl to be married cannot go out or see her husband-to-be until she is officially married.

Wu Liang had already been mentally prepared for this matter.

Not only him, but also the backbone of the Hu army had been mentally prepared for a long time.

Therefore, after receiving the message from Mrs. Ding, Wu Liang and the backbones of the Hu army began to make preparations in an orderly manner, and the person in charge of this work was Yu Ji.

Yu Ji can be said to be the most polite person in the Hu army. After all, before he met Wu Liang, he had been struggling in the world for more than ninety years. He was most often involved in various weddings and weddings. To organize such things

Coming here is a breeze.

As for Boss Cao.

He was never seen again after returning to Chenliu. I heard from Cheng Yu that after he came back, he went non-stop to the north of Yanzhou to supervise the recruitment and defense matters, and beware of a sudden attack by Yuan Shao's troops.

After all, Yuan Shao's forces in Jizhou have already taken action, and Yuan Shao himself has recently published two messages in succession. It is not an exaggeration to say that the situation is tense.

Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Cao did indeed keep his promise this time and did not force him to arrange a military position.

Of course, it is also possible that after discussing with Mrs. Ding, she knew that Wu Liang and Cao Ni were getting married soon, and it was not convenient to create other things for Wu Liang at this time.

In this way, ten days passed quickly.

The city of Chenliu was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, many prisoners in the prison were pardoned, and the people also received several bushels of grain as profit. Every corner of the city was filled with joy.

Officials from the court and Cao Ying came to congratulate them one after another. Emperor Xian also appeared at the wedding and became a witness to the wedding.

However, on this day, Wu Liang lived in a haze, like a robot at the mercy of others. He waited until all the guests dispersed at night, and he and Cao Ni finally had a chance to breathe after entering the bridal chamber.

"Alas——"

After stretching a lot and taking another sip of tea, Wu Liangcai finally felt that the noisy voice in his head that had not dissipated began to disappear.

"Gentleman, you and I finally got what we wanted..."

Sitting on the step, Cao Ni showed a rare shy posture. While lowering his head and rubbing the corners of his clothes, he murmured nervously and slightly excitedly to Wu Liang.

In this era, there was no such thing as hijab. During the wedding process, the husband and wife were honest with each other throughout the whole process.

In this era, it is important to take care of the body, hair, and skin. Therefore, for many people, today is also the first time in their lives to get their hair cut. The process is called "untasseling and knotting". In fact, the groom removes the red tassel from the bride's head.

Then each take a bunch of hair from the couple and tie it together with a red tassel.

"yes."

Wu Liang echoed, raising his eyes to look at Cao Ni.

I have to admit that Cao Ni is extraordinarily beautiful today, especially the red makeup on her face that makes her look even more charming under the light of the oil lamp.

Although Cao Ni had just reached his age and was not yet an adult in later generations, Wu Liang had stayed in this era for so long and had already learned to do as the Romans do.

Moreover, Wu Liang is not a stubborn person.

Now that they are married, he will not treat Cao Ni like a famous writer named Zhou Shuren in later generations.

What's more, apart from the preconceived impression of Cao Ni caused by history books, after getting along with each other in the past few years, generally speaking, Cao Ni is actually a little girl with a strong personality who occasionally plays a little temper, at least from the beginning to the end.

Have any ill intentions towards him...

in addition.

Cao Ni had already known about the existence of Zhen Mi and Bai Jingjing, and these things should not have much impact on the stability of the Wu Mansion. On the contrary, Wu Liang knew that Cao Ni would definitely not be able to defeat Zhen Mi, the thousand-year-old fox demon, so

Even if she has some petty temper, it is absolutely impossible for her to cause any big trouble in Zhen Mi's hands.

The most important thing is.

Wu Liang was different from Cao Ni’s historical husband Xiahou Mao.

Originally, before marrying Xia Houmao, Cao Ni had already been engaged to a man named Ding Yi. As a result, boss Cao later discussed the matter with Cao Pi, who was the commander-in-chief of the five sense organs at the time. Cao Pi claimed that Ding Yi had an eye disease as an excuse.
