Suddenly, Guo Huifei blushed most of her face.
Then, she pushed the old man's arm angrily, "Look, you're talking nonsense again. Is there anyone else here?"
"Where is there?" The old man looked up and saw that the eunuchs around him immediately stood outside the door silently.
Then the old man suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, this life is so damn fast. In the blink of an eye, the years are buried in the dirt. Things in the past still seem like yesterday."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and drank the soup in the bowl.
Guo Huifei said nothing, took off the handkerchief from her lapel, and carefully helped him wipe the corners of his mouth.
The old man looked at her, and she looked at the old man.
"Tell me, were you happy when you married me?" The old man said with a smile, "Don't lie, we still remember how you cried on the day we got married!"
"Brother-in-law, do you still remember the first time you became a concubine?" Guo Huifei tenderly held the old man's big hand and did not answer directly. Instead, she asked.
The old man nodded.
"Actually, the first time I met you was long before you met me. At that time, I was only ten years old, and my father occupied Haozhou and became the commander-in-chief." Guo Huifei slowly opened her mouth, with a smile on her face.
Some memories later, "When the Tatars came to attack, my father convened the generals to discuss matters, while my concubine and eldest sister hid in the dark and eavesdropped."
"Of those under my father, you are the tallest brother-in-law. He sits a head taller than the others. I heard that the Tatars came with an army of 50,000 people. The people nearby said that they would rob the city of money and food and fly away. They were not on good terms with the Tatars.
Fight to the death."
"I saw it with my own eyes, but brother-in-law, you told me that you can't retreat."
The old man's expression also fell into memories, "Do you still remember what we said at that time?"
"Brother-in-law, you said that if our Red Scarf Army retreats, we will become rogue bandits." Guo Huifei said with a smile, "The Tatars are all bluffing. Their 50,000 people are not united and only want to rob the people. But the Red Scarf Army has its back
We are close to Haozhou, and most of the army soldiers are locals from Haozhou, so we can fight ten of them one by one."
"You also said that in these troubled times, there is no way out for rebellion. The way out is to die. If you are not driven to death by the army, you will starve to death. The only way to survive is to fight to the death. The Tatars must not have thought that we will fight to the death, so we will just give them to them.
Come on, hit him hard and let him know how powerful we are!"
"They have two shoulders and one head, are they afraid of a ball?"
"You also said that if others are afraid of you, Zhu Zhong, please ask the commander to give you a thousand elite soldiers, and you will be the vanguard!"
At this point, Guo Huifei covered her mouth and chuckled, "The sound of your words was like thunder. It made my eldest sister and I's hearts beat fast. We hid in the dark and didn't dare to breathe."
"Not long after that, I heard that Dad won the battle. A few days later, Dad prepared a banquet in the inner courtyard to reward the heroes."
"I remember!" the old man said with a smile, "That was the first time we met you. Your father held a banquet and asked you to come over and propose a toast."
Concubine Guo Hui looked at the old man's side face, full of tenderness, "I and my eldest sister are going to toast you. You stand up, hold the cup in both hands and drink it directly. After the banquet, my mother told my father that among all my subordinates, you are the only one."
He knows etiquette best."
"You know how to read, you are well-educated, you don't use profanity when speaking, and you are generous and decent. You are not like those reckless men who are full of obscenities. When you drink some horse urine, your voice is louder than thunder. You usually grab money and food, and when you see a woman, you drag her home.
. He also said that you are already in your twenties and you don’t even have a wife. You also said..."
The old man smiled and asked, "What else are you talking about?"
"Mom also said that if a lively man doesn't have a woman by his side, how can he survive the night?"
"Ha!" The old man suddenly laughed, very cheerfully.
"Dad said at that time that ordinary women might not look down on her because she has a strong heart. Mother said that the eldest sister is not young anymore, so she should marry her husband's family. Zhong, the younger generation, has a strong body and is also the commander of my father's right-hand bodyguard.
It's better to kiss each other even more."
"Later, I saw my mother taking my eldest sister all day long to prepare the dowry..." After saying that, Concubine Guo looked at the old man again, "I knew that my eldest sister was going to marry you, and I was still crying secretly at that time.
Several times.”
"Why are you crying?" the old man asked curiously.
"I can't bear to leave my eldest sister!" Guo Huifei smiled, "I still resented you for taking my eldest sister away. But on the day of the wedding, I saw you riding a big maroon horse, leading a group of good brothers, playing gongs and drums to the handsome man's house."
"Other grooms wear red auspicious clothes, but you wore iron armor and big red flowers that day. Your hair is neat and your face is washed very clean. Especially those eyes, they are so bright."
"I still remember that after you carried your eldest sister onto the sedan, you knelt at the door and kowtowed to your parents. Then you turned around and kowtowed to the other side, shouting, "Mom and dad, you will marry me today."
, Lao Zhu’s family is going to continue the family lineage.”
The old man's big hand tightly squeezed Guo Huifei's hand, and his eyes flashed.
At that time, he never thought that he would be able to get married and survive.
On the day of the wedding, I burst into tears when I thought of my mother who had starved to death and my father and brother who had died of illness. After carrying my wife on my back on the sedan chair, I could no longer control my emotions.
With a daughter-in-law, the Zhu family will not be able to survive!
"After you got married, you were really kind to my eldest sister. You gave her all the gold and silver silk and satin you got from the war. You even found a silversmith in the army to make a pair of phoenix bracelets for my eldest sister."
The old man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "You know all this? Did your eldest sister tell you?"
"What did the eldest sister bring home to show off? The eldest sister also said that you told her that the betrothal gift you gave her when you married her was shabby, and she didn't live a good life after she married him. However, one day, you will make her the world's best.
The happiest woman."
"Later...a few years later, you became a commander, leading tens of thousands of troops. But my father lost his fortune and was so depressed that he couldn't afford to fall ill."
"My mother and eldest sister said, why don't I give you my concubine, and then we can kiss you..."
After hearing this, many old things came to mind.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in Huaixi was getting bigger and bigger, overshadowing Guo Zixing, and his strength surpassed Guo Zixing. Guo Zixing lost Haozhou and lost the foundation to join forces with him. Although he was still the coach in name, he was obviously already great.
Not as good as before.
Maybe giving him the youngest daughter is just to win over him.
He knew this very well, and he also understood that marrying Guo Zixing's biological daughter would be a great help in controlling the rest of Guo Zixing's men in the future.
if only.......
As long as Guo Zixing's son is killed, all Guo Zixing's men can be inherited. By then, Zhu Yuanzhang's family will dominate Huaixi.
In fact, that's exactly what he did.
Guo Zixing's son may be brave, but his mind is a fool...
But at the beginning, he really didn't want to kill him. It was Tang He and Chang Yuchun. The two of them acted according to the opportunity, without knowing it...
"I heard that I am going to marry you, and I am very happy!" Guo Huifei said, her voice getting softer. "You are a heroic man. If I marry you, I will have a bright future in my life." As she said that, she looked at the old man's face. He opened his eyes and slowly leaned his head on the old man's shoulder, "In this life, you have never said a harsh word, and you have never let me suffer any injustice. I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth."
"If there is a next life, I will still marry you! Just like in this life, Wu has patterns for you to hold in the palm of your hand."
The old man's big hand slowly stroked her hair, his heart filled with tenderness.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Concubine Guo Hui wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Hey, my good concubine, what are you doing with these old sesame seeds and rotten millet? Can you please eat some more?"
"No!" The old man waved his hands and said with a smile, "When I was young, I always thought that one day I would be rich, so I would do two things all day long. One is to prepare a table of delicious food every day."
"After you've eaten and drank enough, I took my mother-in-law to the kang. It's a great day!"
"Now, I can't eat anymore!" The old man smiled bitterly, "I may not be able to eat anymore."
"Brother-in-law!" Concubine Guo Hui was angry.
"Hey!" The old man smiled, "No matter how tired we are in this life, as long as I hear you call me brother-in-law, I will immediately cheer up!"
With that said, he turned around and sat back on the bed, "Don't go back, come with us to talk."
