Chapter 49
"Okay." The visitor chuckled.
As time went by, the news of Pei Xiaoer's victory finally spread back to Xia County along with the captives one after another. For a while, some people were extremely happy, while others felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
In Xia County, Father Pei has just returned from the military camp. Nearly a thousand prisoners selected by Pei Xiaoer were sent to the new military camp to become recruits, which really kept Father Pei busy for a while.
Fortunately, the current recruit camp is no longer the bare-bones commander it once was. There are more than 500 instructors, large and small, not counting other auxiliary personnel. These miscellaneous people add up to nearly a thousand people.
.
However, the nearly 1,000-person recruit camp now trains nearly 10,000 recruits, and they are still recruiting continuously. Once these recruits are trained, firstly, they can replenish the supply of soldiers in the battle and quickly replenish combat effectiveness. Secondly, they can also greatly increase the number of recruits.
Accelerate the pace of army building;
The most important thing is to break the feudal custom of soldiers becoming generals, which can greatly ensure the loyalty of soldiers and restrain uncontrolled generals.
He poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. This was also his habit. Although his life was better now, he still didn't like drinking tea.
At this time, the concierge came to report that Mr. Zhao, a wealthy family in Xia County, was visiting.
Father Pei was a little stunned. He had been in Xia County for a while, but he was too busy on weekdays and didn't care about civil affairs, so he didn't have much contact with the big families in Xia County. He just didn't know what Mr. Zhao was doing.
?
"Invite him in." Father Pei simply tidied up his appearance. He thought that when he was still a tenant, it was not so easy to meet these masters. This time, he suddenly felt a little cautious.
Not long after, a burst of hearty laughter sounded outside the door, and a vigorous old man walked in with a smile. When he saw Dad Pei, he took his hand and said, "Congratulations, nephew, congratulations to Xixian."
Nephew, your son has won a great victory in Shangwangzhuang, which means that all of Xia County has been included in the territory. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Father Pei was stunned by his sudden enthusiasm. He had never experienced such a situation before and didn't know what to say for a moment.
As if he could see Father Pei's embarrassment, Mr. Zhao took him to the house and sat down, and then said: "My good nephew has given birth to a good son. From now on, you can just enjoy the blessings at home."
"Mr. Zhao, thank you." Speaking of his son, Pei Pei's face was filled with pride, but he was still modest in the unskilled literati way he had just learned, "Mr. Zhao, why did you come to see me?"
"My nephew is really quick to talk. In that case, I will get straight to the point." The smile on Mr. Zhao's face never stopped, "I have a granddaughter who is now twenty-eight years old and as beautiful as a flower. My son is also young and has a promising future.
Period, I think the two of them are a match made in heaven.
Besides, you and I are a perfect match. So I shamelessly asked Quanzi to come and propose marriage with heavy gifts. Who would have expected that your son is so filial and has to wait until you nod your nod before he dares to marry me. This immortal can only come to the house shamelessly.
Visited."
Zhao Huaiyu put the gold in his face without a blush or a heartbeat. Moreover, he was careful when speaking, describing Pei Xiaoer's rejection as filial piety, as if as long as Father Pei nodded, the marriage would be a success.
Same thing.
Father Pei reflected for a while before he realized that he wanted to give his son a wife, which was a good thing. A smile appeared on his face immediately, and even the wrinkles on his face were smoothed.
"Okay." Dad Pei didn't think much and agreed in one breath, "As long as the waiter agrees, this kid has had ideas since he was a child. Even I can't defeat him sometimes. It would be bad if he doesn't agree to this.
Done"
"In that case, we have made an agreement." Mr. Zhao said with a smile, and a big stone quietly fell to the ground in his heart. "In that case, then I will wait for your arrival at home."
Father Pei also seemed very happy. His son's life-long affairs were finally settled, and he could wait at home to have his grandson.
Ever since his family rebelled by killing officials, Father Pei has hardly had a peaceful sleep. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees his family being captured by officers and soldiers, beheading the whole family, and then he screams from his dream.
Wake up with a start.
Now it's good, I will finally have a grandson. Even if the whole family is caught and beheaded in the future, at least one bloodline will be left in this world.
Father Pei personally sent Mr. Zhao out of the house, and the two parties said goodbye reluctantly at the yamen gate.
The next day, Mr. Pei specially invited a local gentry to be a matchmaker, carrying heavy gifts, and walked towards the Zhao family with great fanfare. The Zhao family was immediately decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was full of joy. Mr. Zhao, dressed in new clothes, personally led his children and grandchildren in the big house.
Being greeted at the door was a great honor to Mr. Pei.
Seeing Father Pei leading a group of people, the smile on Mr. Zhao's face became even brighter. He greeted Father Pei and welcomed the group to his home. The matchmaker hired by Father Pei was very capable, and he made this paragraph full of witty remarks along the way.
The marriage was as good as in heaven and earth, and the host and guest were completely happy for a while.
After a series of procedures, the marriage was finally decided. In a few days, after asking for the name, Najib, accepting the application, applying for a date, and welcoming the bride, Pei Xiaoer can end the hard life of being single.
Entering the grave of marriage.
After the ceremony was completed, Father Pei was a little happy and drank too much. Fortunately, his wine was not bad. When he was drunk, he just wanted to go home and sleep. Then he said goodbye to Mr. Zhao and returned to the county government office.
After Father Pei left, the members of the Zhao family ran out of the gate one by one and went to every house to announce the good news. They even generously gave wedding candies and money to beggars on the street. Almost within a day, the Zhao family and the Pei family were married.
The news spread throughout the city.
Zhao Junlin didn't understand his father's behavior. He was already engaged, so why did he still cause uproar in the city? Make it known to all women and children? What if the officers and soldiers found out that there was an additional crime for beheading.
With this question, Zhao Junlin tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally asked his father.
Mr. Zhao sighed. This eldest son was kind, honest and honest, which was more than enough for him to be an established person in the peaceful and prosperous times. However, he was born in the troubled times, where heroes and heroes stood together, and rebels from all walks of life came and fell, killing each other.
If he doesn't follow the right person, then his century-old foundation of the Zhao family may decline in his hands. But fortunately, he is still here and has chosen a backer for the family. Now it seems that the Zhao family can survive for a hundred years.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao had some confidence in his heart and patiently explained: "Pei Xiaoer was just a tenant a few months ago, but in the past ten months, he has conquered the east and west and has reached his current status. This is the momentum of a dragon in the abyss."
.
If we can't finalize the marriage before he gets married, he may not be able to like our family in the future. And I shamelessly paid a visit to let everyone know that Pei Xiaoer's father had come to propose marriage.
Only in this way will Pei Xiaoer not be able to refuse and will agree to this marriage, do you understand?"
Chapter completed!
