Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 231 Lantern Festival

All the civil and military officials arrived at the banquet at noon on New Year's Eve. According to the rank of the Kou family, the whole family could have been there, but the old man refused to come. In the end, the son-in-law who married into the family showed his face instead of the Kou family.

That guy originally wanted to make love in front of Li Xu, but seeing Kou Xiao sitting next to Li Xu, he didn't have the guts.

In fact, he couldn't understand the relationship between the Kou family. With such a general who holds military power and is so close to the prince, why does the family always have trouble with General Kou? Isn't this self-destructive?

As long as General Kou is willing to support him, he believes that he will have a bright future. You see, Lei Ming, who was able to sit from a businessman to the position of governor, isn't it the result of General Kou's support?

Now that he and General Kou belong to his own family, he should be able to take a shortcut, right?

"On New Year's Eve, brother should come back for a reunion dinner, right?" he asked his wife.

Mrs. Kou Liu was timid when she heard Kou Xiao's name, but she didn't want to show it in front of her husband, so she asked angrily, "Didn't you see him today? Why didn't you ask?"

"He is with the prince, how can I come forward with my identity?"

"What's wrong with your status? Is it shameful to be my son-in-law?" Mrs. Kou Liu exploded when she heard this, she glared at her husband with big eyes, and slapped him as soon as he nodded .

Don't look at Kou Liuniang's beauty, but she has a good temper. She doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Kou Xiao, but she has a sense of superiority in front of her husband.

She was very grateful to Kou Xiao for his suggestion to let her recruit a son-in-law. After comparing the married lives of her sisters and thinking about her own, Kou Liuniang felt elated, and this day couldn't be better.

Not only is her husband obedient to her, but she also has no worries about her in-laws. In the future, she will be able to follow her surname after giving birth to a child. Maybe in another 20 years, her child will inherit the general's mansion. This is something she never dared to think of matter,

"Being a husband doesn't mean that. I was lucky enough to marry you in three lifetimes. I don't care about fame and status, as long as you treat me well."

Kou Liuniang became happy when she heard the words. She still likes her husband's appearance and talent very much. The Kou family is a family of generals, and every move seems vulgar and rude, but her husband is different. He is gentle, eloquent and infinitely gentle. , is much easier to get along with than generals.

"I'm not angry with you, but my brother's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know if he will come back."

At this moment, Kou Liuniang's personal servant girl rushed in and said, "Miss Liu, the general is back, the butler is here to inform everyone to have dinner together in the hall."

Kou Liuniang is happy that Kou Xiao came back to save face for her. This family can stand because of Kou Xiao's presence, and the strength of her natal family is the strongest support for her to be the master of the house.

"Then let's go, don't keep brother waiting for long."

Kou Xiao came back a little early, but at this time, many people had their New Year's Eve dinner early because they had to light the lamps later, and the Kou family also had their New Year's Eve dinner earlier because of Kou Xiao's arrival, but the old man looked unwilling.

Other people's family is the water poured out by their married daughters. When they arrive at Kou's house, the only grandson actually wants to get married. How decent is this?Moreover, they are the majestic general's mansion, and his grandson is also a good man with strong bones, so how could he be so foolish as to want to marry?

The old man dare not even think about this kind of thing, if it is really spread, the century-old reputation of the Kou family will be ruined in one go.

"Hmph, you still know to come back, I thought you didn't know your last name."

Kou Xiao didn't intend to quarrel today, although he knew that what he would say later would definitely irritate the old man, but at least he had to finish the meal first.

He looked at the people present. In the past two years, several of the sisters in the family were ready to marry, and they were all as beautiful as flowers. They were just waiting for the family to find a good son-in-law for them.

There are also people who envy Kou Liuniang, who can still live in their own home after marriage, and have children whose surname is Kou.

Due to the presence of the old lady, they didn't dare to ask, they just peeped at Kou Liuniang's husband secretly, and compared the sixth brother-in-law with the other brothers-in-law in their hearts, and then felt that their hearts were in order. The son of a big family with official positions and real power?

Kou Xiao didn't know what the younger sisters were thinking. He ate peacefully, taking only one bite of almost every dish. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't care about eating. It seemed that he wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and leave.

Seeing that he lost his appetite, the old man dropped his chopsticks, called Kou Xiao to the backyard, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You really made up your mind not to want this house, right?"

"What does Ah Weng mean? If I don't want this house, I won't come back."

"Thank you so much, come back for a meal, if you become Princess Shun in the future, will we still have to kneel to welcome you back?" The old man sneered.

Thinking of that scene, Mrs. Kou became even more upset. What was even more frightening was that Princess Shun was going to report to the court. If everyone knew that she was a general of the Kou family, Da Ya would laugh.

"I don't ask for your consent, but I hope that Weng can keep abreast of this matter, and then the grandson will be content."

"The imperial decree of the emperor has appointed the candidate for Princess Shun. You are trying to resist the decree. The prince really said... Don't you just mess around with yourself?"

Kou Xiao didn't know how to prove to the old man's distrustful eyes that this matter was brought up by Li Xu, and he was even more crazy than him.

Kou Xiao tried his best to talk to him calmly, and the explanation was very simple, so that the old man would not burst out when he heard something unhappy.

Kou Xiao greeted Mrs. Kou alone again, he didn't mention anything about King Shun here at all, if his mother knew about it, she might be able to chase him with a knife to the ends of the world.

Going back to the palace and having another sumptuous meal, Kou Xiao’s good mood lasted until the next day, and then his joy turned into sorrow. The news that Xie’s family is going to hold a lantern feast spreads, and when he finds out that this is the intention of King Shun At that time, every family began to look for unmarried children, and they wished that this time they would choose the daughter-in-law and uncle.

However, there are also people who have doubts and wonder what the intention of King Shun's move is. If he is greedy and lustful, he may take this opportunity to find beauties and bring them into the harem, but King Shun is obviously not such a person. Could it be that he wants to find someone The object, but it's hard to say clearly, so let everyone cover up together?

This possibility is still very high. Everyone immediately thought of General Kou. He is an older unmarried young man. The children of other people's families can run and dance.

Thinking about these two scandals again, everyone guessed whether it was King Shun who was going to get married, and the bride was not General Kou, so the prince wanted to solve the major life issues for General Kou. No one is sorry.

This guess was approved by many people, so people who participated in the Lantern Banquet brought girls of the right age one after another. What if General Kou got angry and really found a woman to marry?That is also an opportunity.

Li Xu soon heard the rumor, and asked Liu Shu dumbfounded: "Do you all believe that this king has an affair with General Kou?"

Liu Shu smiled awkwardly. He often travels outside and meets many people. He has heard various versions of rumors, "I don't think it is true, but it is generally believed to be true. After all, General Kou has lived in the palace for a long time. Someone learned that the two of you live together, and the palace does not have a guest courtyard, so who can believe that you two are fine? Or, you ask General Kou to move out of the main courtyard, so as to calm down the rumors?"

Liu Shu began to make up his mind, thinking that even normal couples don't sleep together every day. General Kou depends on the prince so he won't break the prince's body.

Li Xu didn't agree, he said: "Anyway, everyone will know in the future, the truth can't be fake, so let it be."

Liu Shu answered in disappointment, and then thought of another question: "You plan to let General Kou marry into the palace, what about after that? Can General Kou still be General Kou?"

Li Xu covered his face with a book, and said cheekily: "Don't talk nonsense, this king is going to marry Kou Sanniang, of course General Kou is still General Kou."

Even if all the people in the city saw this incident, Li Xu couldn't admit it. Anyway, he said that he married Kou Sanniang, that is Kou Sanniang.

Liu Shu was even more dissatisfied, pouted and muttered: "You really wronged yourself enough, that Kou Sanniang is not only a dead person, but also a concubine who has been married before. If you want to choose a girl from the Kou family, why can't you choose?" How about an unmarried one? How many concubine sisters of General Kou?"

Li Xu put down the book, and replied seriously: "The dead can be replaced, and the living can only be dead in the future. This king will not harm the youth of a good woman for his own personal feelings."

What's more, that girl is still Kou Xiao's younger sister, not to mention that he disagrees, Kou Xiao can't possibly agree, no matter how weak the relationship is, it's still a family member with blood relationship.

Liu Shu stopped talking when he heard this, he knew the prince's bottom line: do not hurt innocent people, although he thinks this kind of harm is not worth mentioning.

The Lantern Festival will soon be here, and Xie's Lantern Festival will be held in the evening. At this time, guests can get in touch with each other and see each other's looks, so as not to see people under the lights at night, even ugly people are beautiful three points.

The banquet of Xie's family was held in the villa outside the city. The whole villa was hung with lanterns, which were bright and majestic, as if it was a New Year's Eve.

Although South Vietnam's men and women are not so strict, when it comes to the age of marriage, what should be guarded is still to be guarded. Therefore, the villa is divided into two, one side entertains the female relatives, and the other side entertains the men.

Li Xu didn't come to join in the fun, but he has plenty of eyeliner and knows every move here.

Originally, Kou Xiao wanted to stay far away because he was afraid that someone would pay attention to him, but seeing that Li Xu was so attentive, he changed his mind and arrested Li Xu to change clothes. Touching into Xie's manor, he walked among the crowd with his head held high.
