The emperor granted a grand marriage, and Xiao Lang looked happy and tired.

In the evening of the first day of the new year, after all the trouble, I could get home and had only a few sips of my hot tea before the guests who had come to attend the wedding banquet came to my door in droves.

There was no way, as she was too tired to deal with Jin Xiaolang, so she hurried to the door to greet the guest.

After half an hour had passed, Xiao and Gu finally had a chance to rest and started arguing with each other.

When talking about Beidi Peizhong and others sending gifts, Xiao Huai became worried.

"Alas, I am in a dilemma whether to accept or not accept this gift."

"Pei Zhong and his men are the commanders of the army in the north and Shandong. How much do they get as salary throughout the year?"

"The court has not provided any additional military pay this month."

"Two large carts of stuff, they must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"This just indulges their greed, alas." Xiao You felt depressed.

Upon hearing this, Chang Ting also hurriedly spoke comforting words and tried to make amends for the brothers.

"Uh, General."

"Your marriage is granted by the Emperor. This kind of happy event only happens once in a lifetime."

"Don't think too much about it."

"It's fine to accept it. It's all the goodwill of the brothers below. It would be inappropriate to reject it!"

After listening to it, I think what Changting said is quite reasonable.

Sui Xiao was no longer willing, so he could only smile bitterly and nod without arguing any more.

"Well, that's true."

"Well, you did the right thing by not going through the accounting office."

"It's true that Peizhong and his brothers came to congratulate you, but after all, you are leading troops outside right now, so it's always better to be careful about what you say."

"Nanjing is a place where good and bad people gather under the feet of the emperor. Times like this are the most urgent, so you and I should be more cautious!" Xiao sighed again.

"kindness"

"Yes, uh, general."

"Also, from Yanzhou, Brother Huchen and..., and Brother Yuan also sent gifts."

"What Hu Chen sent me was a large golden nanmu screen with a dragon and phoenix in the shape of auspicious stars. It looks like it's worth a lot of money."

Seeing that the general was feeling emotional and had something hidden in the long court, his expression became even more hesitant, but he couldn't help but mention it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang's brows slightly frowned, showing that he was in a hurry.

"Hmm? Where did Li Huchen get this thing?"

"This is just an eye drop for me!"

"Could it be something stolen from some wealthy family?"

"There is chaos and disorder in the country right now. If we want to fight for a piece of furniture like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shandong to do it."

"Even if I leaked the news of my wedding date in advance, he wouldn't have the time."

"You should pay attention to this matter. After the ceremony, I have to write a letter. Please send it to Yanzhou for me and ask about the details!"

Xiao Langxiang said that he seemed very worried, fearing that Li Huchen would cause him more trouble in Yanzhou.

After all, the general had issued an order many days ago, ordering the troops to set off.

If you do all this idle work before leaving, you will cause jealousy and hatred, which will make you unable to live in peace.

"Oh, yes, okay."

"but."

Unexpectedly, the matter was not settled yet, and it seemed that there was still something to say in the court.

Xiao Geng was more alert to this.

"What's wrong? What else?"

"This shouldn't be related to Brother Yuan, right?"

"Given his personality, he should have a lot to complain about regarding my marriage!"

"If you ask him to come up with different ways to send gifts, he won't be able to do it!" Xiao Yan analyzed, and then asked.

"Uh, no, this, this"

"Hey, General, everyone in the north is waiting for us to return to the camp as soon as possible."

"This anticipation is exhausting."

"Moreover, the emperor has recently handed over the overall military affairs of Shandong to someone else, so there are some complaints in this team. It's also normal, right?!" Chang Ting said awkwardly.

It seemed that he was even more nervous than Xiao Lang and asked hurriedly.

“Dededede” “If you keep keeping me in suspense, I’ll beat you up!”

"What's the point of white ink?"

"Hurry up and tell me, there must be something going on here, tell me now!"

"I don't have the time to waste with you!" Xiao became more and more anxious, fearing that something bad might really happen.

"Hey, no, nothing."

"It was Brother Yuan Ping. He sent a horse whip over here." Changting told the truth.

"Ah? Nothing?" Xiao was stunned.

"No more!" Chang Ting replied innocently.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jingchuan rolled his eyes, took a long breath, and felt a little relieved.

"Hey kid, can you please stop breathing so heavily when you talk next time?"

"It's just a horsewhip, why are you so careful about it?" Xiao Xun.

Look, it's Xiao Yousong, Changting raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, General, I... I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable on your wedding day because of this."

Hearing this, Xiao Lang gave a bitter smile.

"Ah!"

"Am I that petty, General?"

"Well, besides, if someone else wanted to give me a gift, I would have to think about it and see if there would be any other obstacles."

"Brother Yuan, it's just a horse whip. Hahaha, this is just pure indifference!"

"I understand. In the north, everyone is gearing up for the battle!"

"I came to the south to report on my work and returned to Beijing. I left the team. Not only me, but also the brothers who stayed in Shandong were all worried!"

"First, they are afraid that I might be in danger if I return to the court alone."

"Secondly, they are also afraid that we will be promoted to high positions and receive generous salaries. Now, we have been granted a marriage, so our ambitions will be gone."

"A land of drunkenness and dreams."

"I'm afraid I'll forget about these brothers."

"It's easy to say that we should work together to achieve great things."

"But now that I have reached a high position and am enjoying a high position, how can they not be jealous and greedy?"

"In the final analysis, they are afraid that I will fall into danger, and they also want me to forget my roots in glory. That's it!"

"I understand, and I can sympathize."

"Horsewhip, haha, this is to remind me not to be so dissipated in the world of luxury that I can't even step on the stirrups when I get on a horse, right?! Ah? Hahahaha"

Xiao Lang didn't care about Yuan Ping's temper, but instead showed sympathy and a smile.

But after engraving it like this, there is no need to wait for Changting to reply or add more words.

Suddenly coming!

At the entrance of the alley, another group of people came. The first one was not clear in the evening, but when he got closer, he could see clearly that it was the housekeeper of Ni Yuanlu, the deputy minister of the imperial court.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Yu, who was still standing, also hurriedly made a move with his eyes, temporarily stopped chatting with Chang Ting, and walked forward.

"Hahahaha!"

"Duke Jingguo is very happy, Duke Jingguo is very happy!"

"I am here at the order of Master Ni to come to your house to congratulate you!"

"A good marriage lasts forever, and a good couple lives together forever!"

"Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations!"

At the same time, the housekeeper came to observe the worldly affairs, and seeing that it was Xiao Lang pacing in front, he also hurriedly gathered the rags, and when he saw someone coming closer, he bowed his head, with a look of joy, and said some auspicious words.

After hearing the comparison, Xiao couldn't be negligent.

"Haha, Butler Liu, thank you very much, thank you very much!"

"You said, you actually made this trip in person. When you go in later, you have to drink a few more glasses. Ah, you have to drink a few more glasses!" Xiao Zi greeted.

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"Yes, yes."

"I will drink more of this wedding wine. It's all thanks to the Duke that an old man like me can share in this joy and blessing, huh?! Haha."

In the guest suite, Butler Liu turned around and waved his hand, and the servants carrying the gifts on the poles behind him brought them forward.
