Patrol's sweetheart baby

Xie Weichao, the commander of the Muzhou capital, personally helped Tang Shimao.

He was about to say something modest, but he was stunned when he heard Xie Weichao's "family member".

Xie Weichao let go of Tang Shimao, turned around and ordered the soldiers in plain clothes behind him to move the dowry gifts from Muzhou out of the carriage one by one.

Looking at the gift box wrapped in festive red paper and tied with colorful silk, Tang Shimao felt dizzy for a while.

After all, there was a glimmer of hope, "Xie Dushi, this is..."

Xie Weichao smiled amiably, "Uncle can just call me Chenchu."

Tang Shimao opened his mouth, but was already speechless.

"Originally, my father should be in charge of the appointment, but Yingyang is thousands of miles away from Chun'an. My father is old, so I have to do it for me, a junior. I hope uncle will not mind."

"Thank you all..."

"If uncle doesn't mind, why don't we go into the mansion and have a good chat?"

Xie Weichao has been stationed in the border Muzhou all the year round, and he has the aura of a long-time superior, which cannot be rejected.

Tang Shimao nodded in a daze, and entered the mansion together with Xie Weichao's support.

Xiao Zishu and the soldiers brought by Xie Weichao followed with gifts.

"Master Tang's mansion has been well repaired. The flowers and trees are scattered, and the pavilions are pleasing to the eye."

Xie Weichao nodded appreciatively, while crossing the inner courtyard with Tang Shimao.

Before Xie Weichao left, his wife, Ye Qingruo, told Xiao Wu's father-in-law not to be as cold and hard as he was in the barracks on weekdays, but to be more humble and amiable, lest Xiao Si's father-in-law He thought that their Xia Ping were not sincere, and deliberately used their rank to suppress others.

Be as approachable as possible.

Knowing that her husband is not good at communication, before leaving the house, she told him a secret method to quickly make friends with others, that is, to boast.

For example, if the other party's courtyard is neatly repaired and quiet, you can praise the other party for his unique vision and profound taste. If the tea served by the other party is sweet and fragrant, you can praise the other party's tea quality, and start a conversation about tea ceremony.

In other words, it is similar to "flattering horses".

Xie Weichao didn't even cater to the late emperor, but now he is going all out for his younger brother's lifelong event.

It's too embarrassing for him to boast to Tang Shimao about his uniqueness and so on. He has grown up so much, and he has never praised anyone so much. owned.

After all, I have stayed in a place like Muzhou for a long time. When I came to Chun'an, I saw a tree and a grass beside the Chun'an road. It is full of begonias, roses, osmanthus...

It is indeed refreshing.

"Thank you Dushi, thank you Dushi for your praise..."

Xie Weichao deliberately narrowed the distance with his younger brother, the in-law elder, but he didn't know that Tang Shimao saw him, and the tight heartstrings never let go. Even after listening to his praise, he didn't feel any sense of relief at all. .

The two came to the hall with different thoughts.

Xie Weichao's official rank is higher than Tang Shimao's, so it is said that Xie Weichao should sit in the top position, isn't that true, Xie Dushi came here to hire him today, so he refuses to sit in the top seat no matter what.

If Xie Weichao sat at the bottom, how could Tang Shimao dare to sit in the position of the leader?

In the end, the two of them humbled themselves a bit, thought of a compromise, and sat down at the main seat together.

Tang Shimao ordered the servant girl to serve tea.

"Good tea."

Xie Weichao kept his wife's advice in mind, and drank the top-quality Quanzhou dew tea sold in the market for three or four hundred per cake in one gulp, as if drinking in the army, and praised it sincerely.

Tang Shimao "..."

"I don't know how to thank you, so I will condescend to honor you and come here..."

Xie Weichao put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly, "Uncle calls me to be ready at the beginning of the day."

Tang Shimao looked at what Xie Weichao looked at, and he had a murderous smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I don't know what my nephew Chenchu ​​has come to the humble house, what can I teach you?"

Xie Weichao thought to himself, he has praised the courtyard, and this tea is very face-saving, it is time to talk about business.

As soon as the easy-going aura on his body subsided, Xie Weichao unconsciously showed his usual majesty in the army, "Uncle speaks seriously. Chen Chu is a junior, how can he afford to be taught. It's just that Chen Chu's abrupt visit this time is indeed There is something important."

The person sitting in front of Tang Shimao seemed to have changed from the eldest son of the Xie family to the commander of the mighty Muzhou commander Xie Weichao on the border. explain."

That is to say, the address changed back to the respectful name from the nephew of Chenchu ​​just now.

Xie Weichao joined the army since he was a child, and he was used to the straight-forward routine of soldiers. He took out a red wedding invitation from his arms, "This is a marriage letter written by my father, please read it to my uncle. If there is no problem, we may as well The marriage is tentatively settled. When Xiao Wu returns to Beijing after completing his tenure in Fufeng County, the wedding will be held, after all, my Xiao Wu is also the eldest. What does uncle think?"

Tai, Taifu wrote a book, written, marriage, marriage letter?

Tang Shimao forced a smile, and took the marriage certificate from Xie Weichao with trembling hands.

Xie Yanxie, the Taifu of the dynasty, has elegant and clear handwriting. Even if ordinary people imitate it, it is absolutely difficult to imitate the essence of his self-created Xie Gongstyle.

Tang Shimao recognized at a glance that the marriage letter was indeed written by Grand Tutor Xie Yan.

Holding the marriage certificate in his hand, Tang Shimao was in a trance for a moment, wondering if he still had a prostitute, otherwise why would the Xie family come to ask for marriage with such a natural expression.

Or he hasn't been to Yingyang for a long time, now Yingyang is very popular, and the marriage between men and men is not a deviant thing?

"Thank you, Dushi. Actually, it is a coincidence that my son is already married. It is said that one woman does not marry two husbands. Since ancient times, only men marry wives and take concubines. There is no such case of marrying wives and marrying other marriages. I'm begging, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lower officials to answer."

Tang Shimao boldly refused, and at the same time returned the marriage certificate to Xie Weichao.

"Master Ling is already married?"

Xie Weichao did not reach out to accept the marriage letter.

His face darkened, the general's all-year-round conquering power came over him, almost making Tang Shimao breathless, with the marriage certificate in his hand, he responded, "Yes, yes."

"Since he is married, why did he propose to marry Xiao Wu in Zhaohui Tower? The young master is playing with Xiao Wu's feelings?"

Tang Shimao burst into cold sweat, "My son, yes, yes, no, I don't mean that."

"Since he didn't intend to play with my younger brother's feelings, why did he say that he is married? But what is uncle dissatisfied with Xiao Wu? Or do you think my Xiao Wu is not worthy of Mr. Ling?"

Xie Weichao hurled down this series of questions, which made Tang Shimao's head go numb, "I'm an official, I dare not! It's just that my son's marriage was arranged for his biological mother before his death, and my son didn't know about it at the time. Therefore, therefore..."

Xie Weichao thought with all his heart that with the looks and talents of his own mistress, it should be a sure thing to come here to ask for a marriage. He never thought that the magistrate of the Tang Dynasty would be pushy and obstructive, and there were many contradictions in his words.

Could it be that Xiao Wu is not worthy of him, the son of a little magistrate's family?

Xie Weichao frowned, with a cold expression on his face, "Since uncle is not dissatisfied with Xiaowu, please let me see Mr. Ling, so that the younger generation can ask clearly in front of Mr. Ling. "

Xie Weichao frowned like this, and the expression on his face became even more terrifying. Tang Shimao resisted the urge to wipe off his sweat, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, order someone to call the dog here."

"Awakening of Insects—"

Tang Shimao raised his voice and hurriedly ordered Jing Zhe to invite the young master.

—

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Qingluan, I'm still sleepy, you should go back to your room to rest first, and I'll call you later."

Tang Xiaotang didn't get enough sleep last night, and after playing around with Xie Jinbai for a while, he felt sleepy again.

The rogue dragged Xie Jinbai to lie on the bed with him.

The back of his head was barely resting on brother Xiaoyu's arm. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he thought it was the maid Qingluan, her voice was lazy, with a hint of coquettishness and hoarseness.

After Jing Zhe heard this, for some reason, her cheeks felt slightly hot.

The young lady was quietly carried into the mansion last night, realizing that she might disturb the sweet morning of the young master and the young lady, Jing Zhe stood outside the door a little awkwardly, and whispered, "Young master, it's me."

"Jing Zhe? Oh no! Dad, he must be, know, know that Liang Muyao's master and servant have left, look, look for me, settle the score!"

Tang Xiaotang sat up in a hurry.

Xie Jinbai said unhurriedly, "It shouldn't be"

Seeing that this person replied with a good guess, Tang Xiaotang turned his head suspiciously, "Why?"

"If Mr. Tang already knew that Liang Muyao's master and servant should leave the mansion, he would have broken into the house long ago and asked you to ask your teacher for his crimes. How could he ask someone to ask you to do so?"

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

It's his father's way.

Now that he knew that Liang Muyao was not driven away by his father, Tang Xiaotang immediately relaxed a lot.

He got out of bed.

A coat was draped over him.

Tang Xiaotang turned his head, but saw that his elder brother Xiaoyu also got up at some point.

Pulling the open skirt for the young master, to make sure that the spring is still alive, Xie Jinbai said, "Go."

Tang Xiaotang didn't know that Master Xie's desire for monopoly was at work, and she automatically took on the role of husband, which was extremely sweet, "My lady is so virtuous."

Lifting his face, he quickly kissed Xie Jinbai's lips, and quickly ran away.

But after running a few steps, I felt a softness in my waist, and the pain in the inner thigh was severe.

Tang Xiaotang: "!!!"

"Jing Zhe, what's the matter?"

Tang Xiaotang opened the door.

Jing Zhe's gaze met the young master's moist eyes full of spring, his cheeks flushed, he quickly turned his gaze away, and saluted respectfully, "Little master, the master welcomes you."

"I see. You go and tell Dad first, and I'll be there right away."

Tang Xiaotang closed the door, ready to wash up before going over.

When I came to the towel rack, I saw that the water in the bucket was empty.

Tang Xiaotang was puzzled. He remembered that he only used a basin of water last night, and only mixed part of the hot water. It should be said that there should be a bucket of water. Why, why is it all empty?

Could it be that he remembered wrongly?

"I used up the water last night."

Xie Jinbai, who was already fully dressed, came over.

Tang Xiaotang turned her head and said in confusion, "Brother Xiaoyu later, later, did you take a bath?"

Xie Jinbai stepped forward, with a half-smile, "What does Xiao Guoer think?"

It is better to say that it is a shower than to say that it is a bath.

It took more than half a bucket of water before the evil fire in the lower abdomen faded slightly.

For some reason, Tang Xiaotang read some kind of dissatisfaction from this man's face, and suddenly understood where the half bucket of water went.

He blushed, "I'm going to order, order Qingluan to fight, fetch water, wash, wash..."

Tang Xiaotang hurriedly called Qingluan.

Cough, then what, he, his palm still feels a little sore.

Qingluan lives in the side room of Qingwu Courtyard.

In fact, she woke up a long time ago, but last night, after the young lady ordered her to go back to her room to rest earlier, she told her that Wei Niang would take care of her this morning.

Since Tang Xiaotang was young, Qingluan has been in charge of the young master's daily life, after listening to the young lady's orders last night, he was naturally a little disappointed.

Hearing the young master calling her in the anteroom, Qingluan went to fetch water diligently, and went into the house to serve the young master.

When he came to the room, he didn't see the young lady, but he saw Xie Jinbai standing in front of the vanity mirror, combing the young master's hair.

The morning sun shines through the window, and shines on the two standing and sitting in front of the vanity mirror. The light and shadow are mottled, and the couple in the wedding room is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Qingluan couldn't help staring at him.

Neither of the two seemed to notice her, their eyes were full of each other's presence.

For some reason, she was not overly surprised to see Mrs. Xie in the wedding room, not the Young Madam, instead she had a feeling that it should be so.

Qingluan took her steps lightly.

"All right."

Xie Jinbai put a crown carved with gold and inlaid with jade on top of the young master's black hair, "Look at it, Xiao Guoer, but you are still satisfied."

Tang Xiaotang carefully looked at himself in the mirror without blinking, and was overjoyed.

The young man's black eyes were bright, he bent his crimson lips, raised his eyes and thanked happily, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoyu."

No wonder this man looked down on him when he combed his hair.

Ahem, sure enough, the hair-tying technique is much better than him.

Only then did Qingluan walk over to greet the two masters. "My lord, thank you sir."

"Qingluan, you're here! Look quickly, this is the hair that brother Xiaoyu tied for me. Does it look good?"

Tang Xiaotang stood up, like offering a treasure, and put his head in front of Qingluan, so that Qingluan could see his hair clearly.

It has been many years for Qingluan, and she has never seen such an innocent smile from the young master. Her eyes were slightly red, and she smiled sincerely, "Okay, it looks good."

Xie Jinbai felt itchy when he saw the young master's innocent smile, his crooked brows and eyes.

Stretching out his long arms, he pulled the man over, and lowered his head to bite the little boy's lips.

Qingluan lowered her head, her ears turned red.

—

In the hall, just as Tang Shimao got impatient with waiting and went to urge One or Two in anticipation of Jing Zhe, Tang Xiaotang finally arrived late.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Xie Weichao sat in the lobby of the prefect's inner courtyard, with a sullen face, waiting to see the "grace" of the prefect's young master.

In Xie Weichao's cognition, the person who dares to ask Xiao Wu to marry him in Zhaohui Tower, and makes Xiao Wu want to start a family, should be handsome and handsome, otherwise, he can't fall into Xiao Wu's eyes.

Hearing the sound, Xie Wei looked towards Xun Sheng.

But I saw a young man wearing a crimson auspicious cloud patterned shirt, with red lips, white teeth, black eyes and handsome eyebrows, walking through the hall.

She looks good, but she might be a little petite, and she looks too much like an embroidered pillow.

If Tang Xiaotang was a woman, Xie Weichao would naturally not care whether the other party was petite or not, or whether she was too delicate, but the other party was a man, just like his younger brother, which made Xie Weichao a little more picky about Tang Xiaotang.

This is the person chosen by Xiaowu, the person who decides to spend his life with him in the future?

Xie Wei frowned slightly, and looked at Tang Xiaotang with an almost scrutinizing gaze.

Xie Jiaerlang probably has a characteristic, that is, there is no need to do anything, just standing or sitting there has a strong sense of presence, which is hard to ignore.

In fact, as soon as Tang Xiaotang entered the hall, he noticed that there were guests at home.

It's just that he thought it was Dad's colleague, but he didn't care.

"Tang'er, come here, see Xie Dushi soon."

all make?

Is it still Xie?

Tang Xiaotang naturally knew that the man's chief had been stationed in Muzhou all the year round, and served as the commander of the capital of Muzhou.

After listening to my father's introduction, the person in front of me was named Xie, and he was the commander of the capital. After carefully looking at the other person's appearance, it was clear that he was somewhat similar to the Taifu, so he immediately opened his eyes, "You...you..."

"Tang'er, don't be rude! You don't want to salute Xie Dushi!"

Tang Xiaotang blushed, not knowing how to address the other party, but Xie Weichao flashed a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Yes, he was able to guess his identity with just a few words.

Seems pretty smart, not stupid.

It's just too young...

He didn't know before that Xiao Wu liked such... such young children.

Suddenly, Xie Weichao yelled, "Have you seen enough? How decent is it to hide and hide! Why don't you get out!"

Tang Shimao's chest trembled suddenly, and he almost didn't fall off his seat.

He looked around in a panic, this Xie Dushi was there, who was he talking to?

But seeing Xie Jinbai, who was wearing a white shirt with flowing moiré patterns, walked in from the outside as if he was in his own mansion, "Huaiyu has met Mr. Tang."

Xie Jinbai first bowed his hands to salute Tang Shimao, then walked to Tang Xiaotang's side, and greeted his elder brother, "I have met you, brother."

Even though he had guessed that Xie Weichao was the elder brother of this person in advance, Tang Xiaotang felt even more nervous when he heard Xie Jinbai's name of elder brother.

Xie Jinbai saw his nervousness, took his hand, and comforted him silently.

Tang Xiaotang was startled, father, father and brother Xie are all here!

He was about to withdraw his hand subconsciously, but he couldn't bear to save this man's face, so he had to let Xie Jinbai hold it with his face flushed.

I don't know, I don't know when this person came, and how long he stood outside...

Xie Wei jumped towards the brow bone.

Glancing at Tang Shimao's face from the corner of the eye, he was much livid than him, and felt much more at ease in his heart.

Since Xie Weichao was sent to Muzhou as the commander of the Muzhou capital, it has been more than ten years since Xie Weichao has not returned home.

In ten years, the boy who used to only reach his chin, now the greenness between his brows and eyes has faded, and his stature is as tall as his.

Zhilan Yushu, impeccable.

How does Xie Weichao think, how does he feel that his Xiaowu is the best.

Thinking of such a good Xiaowu, Tang Shimao was pushing back and refusing to agree to the marriage, Xie Weichao's face sank again, "Since everyone is here, I will ask you once and for all. Xiaowu, you What is going on with Young Master Tang? Why did the prefect of Tang tell me that Young Master Tang is already married?"

"That marriage, no, it wasn't what I wanted, it was forced on me by my father! I have expressed my heart to my father. In this life, I will never marry Brother Xiaoyu! Moreover, Brother Xiaoyu is already my brother. I will, I will be responsible for him to the end!"

Tang Xiaotang held Xie Jinbai's hand instead, acting like a little husband defending his sweet wife.

marry?Xie Weichao looked at Tang Xiaotang and his younger brother suddenly with weird eyes.

Of course, Xie Weichao didn't think that his younger brother was a person who would be willing to be subordinated to others. Seeing that younger brother Yao didn't refute at all, and looked calm and calm, he really wanted to drag his younger brother and kneel in front of the ancestral tablets impulse.

The ancestors of the Xie family have spirits in heaven, so they must have already pulled the soles of their shoes.

In order to marry a daughter-in-law, I don't want my face!

Tang Shimao endured and endured, in front of Xie Weichao, he couldn't hold back, and loudly reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Tang'er, in front of Xie Dushi, what nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you talk to Xie Dushi?" Apologize!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! Dad, Miss Liang and her maid left the mansion last night, and I didn't pay homage to her, let alone consummated our marriage. That marriage is nothing to count. Dad , I just want to marry Brother Xiaoyu. Please help me."

Tang Xiaotang simply took the initiative to recruit everything, and he knelt down in front of Tang Shimao.

"What, what?"

As soon as Tang Shimao heard that the prostitute of Xingyuanhou's family had left the mansion without his knowledge last night, he immediately stood up from his chair, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Xie Weichao sneered at this time and said, "I can hear it. Dare to make the young master and my family's Xiao Wuqing stand in front of him. Master Tang doesn't look down on our Xiaowu, let alone our Xie family, so he arranged this for the young master. marriage?"

Who should this be?

"Xie Du made a mistake, misunderstood. It's not what Xie Dushi thought. It's really..."

Xie Weichao didn't have the patience to listen to the ins and outs of Tang Shimao's long and smelly foot wrap like an old lady's, so he directly cut off the words to the other party, "So, Mr. Tang didn't look down on Xiao Wu? He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Xiao Wu either. Satisfied place?"

"Naturally. Fourth Young Master Xie has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance."

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Xie Wei nodded clearly.

Tang Shimao hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Since it was a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about the misunderstanding now."

"Yes Yes."

Xie Weichao's aura was too strong, Tang Shimao couldn't hold back, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Xiao Wu, did you hear that? Master Tang is very satisfied with you, why don't you come to worship Zun Yue?"

Tang Shimao paused for wiping his sweat.

His eyes were blank.

He, how did he ever say that, yes, he was very satisfied with Xie Huaiyu?

The man had gold under his knees, but Xie Jinbai knelt down on his knees without hesitation, "Huaiyu, thank you, father-in-law, for your fulfillment!"

Xie Jinbai's kneeling was too heavy.

Xie Weichao is here, if Tang Shimao doesn't accept the ceremony as his father-in-law, how can he bear the kneeling of the fourth son of Taifu's mansion?

Tang Shimao's old face was flushed red, and he held his breath in his chest, swallowing, unable to swallow, and unable to spit out.

He soon realized that he was following the advice of the Xie family brothers.

At this time, there is nothing to do.

He could not afford to offend the Grand Tutor's Mansion behind Xie Jinbai, and Xie Weichao's reputation in the army has become more and more prominent these years, how dare he offend both of them?

Tang Shimao finally realized that Xie Huaiyu was determined to win this marriage from the very beginning.

This child's scheming is really unfathomable.

He slumped weakly on the pear blossom wooden chair behind him.

Tang Shimao's eyes were red, and his eyes fell on the well-matched two kneeling in front of him, and his heart ached.

How good would it be if one of them was a woman?

"I know, most of you have always hated daddy in your heart. But Tang'er, heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, since ancient times, the sleeves have been divided into peaches, and the dragon and the yang are so good. Who can love you until the end of life? So what if the kindness in the early stage was so deep? Without the bondage of children, it is always easier to get separated than ordinary couples. But I also know that you will not listen to what I say now.

Dad just wants to tell you one thing—”

Tang Shimao stared at his youngest son with red eyes, "In the future, if he changes his mind, remember that the Tang family will always be your reliance, and you will always be the son of the Tang family. The door of the Tang family, although Wu Taifu's mansion is open, but it will always be open to Tang Weimian, the youngest son of the Tang family, and will always wait for my son to return home."
