"What? Lao Cheng has a wife? Where is my sister-in-law? Why didn't I see it?"
In the warm living room of Xiao Mansion, the disheveled Xiao Han stepped on the table with one leg and the other on the stool, shouting condescendingly towards Cheng Yaojin...
"hey-hey……"
What he didn't expect was that Cheng Yaojin, who was thick-skinned enough to compare with himself, would actually blush.
Cheng Yaojin stretched out his hand, scratched his disheveled hair, and said with a rather embarrassed look on his face: "Female relatives are not allowed in the army. She will come to Chang'an in a few days!"
"Ouch...shameless! He actually got a wife!"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's shy look, Xiao Han couldn't help but let out a wolf howl, which almost caused Xiao Qi, who sneaked in to chew the bones, to look up to the sky and howl...
"You're damn fast, you're just as fast as Zhang Qiang back then! Doesn't his grandma need to prepare for a wife?"
"Prepare? Prepare for what? Do you think I'm like you? If you want to marry a wife, you have to snatch it from someone else? I have a marriage contract for a long time! When I returned to Shandong this time, I happened to meet my father-in-law. After the two parties combined, they immediately married me.
Tang, we’re married!”
When Cheng Yaojin said this, he grinned almost to his ears! It seemed that he was quite satisfied with his wife!
Xiao Han had drunk a lot of wine at this time, and his head was already dizzy. Seeing Lao Cheng's appearance, he simply sat down on the table!
Unfortunately, a lot of dishes on the table had just been smashed out, leaving a lot of space. Otherwise, his new pants would have been scrapped again...
"Who is my sister-in-law? Is she beautiful?" Xiao Han asked, shaking his head.
The joy on Cheng Yaojin's face faded and he asked warily: "Huh? Why are you asking this?"
Xiao Han tried his best to open his eyes wide and said angrily: "Oh, look, I scared you! My friend's wife, you're welcome... uh, you can't be bullied! I just want to ask what's wrong?"
"Ahem, average, average..." Cheng Yaojin choked to death after hearing Xiao Han's words! He looked at Xiao Han with even more alert eyes!
This thing is definitely not reliable. After all, it’s not like he has never heard of the rumors in the market. It’s not like there’s no smoke without fire!
"Normal?"
Just when Xiao Han was a little disappointed and was about to jump off the table, suddenly Niu Jinda came over:
"Haha, Xiao Hou! Don't be deceived by him! You don't know, right? His wife is from Fan Yanglu's family! That beauty, that temperament, that cultivation! With a rough guy like Lao Cheng, she is just like you before.
Said: A piece of cow dung fell on the flowers!"
Cheng Yaojin's lie was instantly exposed by Niu Jinda. Even though he was very thick-skinned, he couldn't keep it anymore! He was so angry that he slammed the table and almost shook Xiao Han's butt off:
"Niubi, what did you fart?! Who is the cow dung?!"
Niu Jinda was startled by the voice. He tried his best to open his confused eyes and said drunkenly: "I told you, do what you want!"
Lao Cheng's eyes almost popped out: "Bah! Are you drifting tonight? Or am I unable to hold the knife? Do you want to fight?"
Niu Jinda didn't show any fear at this time. He pulled off his clothes and revealed his strong muscles: "Just hit him! Who is afraid of whom? After drinking so much, it's a good time to exercise!"
"Bah! Take off your clothes? Who are you trying to scare? I even take off my pants!"
Very well, Xiao Han's family's banquets are still carried out strictly according to the procedures. At the end of the banquet, drinking and fighting are always an essential part of the show.
"Fan Yang Lu family... Fan Yang Lu family? Oh! No wonder it sounds so familiar. I have seen that old man Fan during the Lantern Festival!"
After dodging a flying tea cup, Xiao Han suddenly remembered where he had heard this name before!
Fan Yanglu, wasn't it Fan Yanglu who built the lantern shop during the Lantern Festival? He even won the jackpot!
To be honest, he had a pretty good impression of that old man Fan. The style of the aristocratic family was vividly displayed in him, but he didn't know who Cheng Yaojin married that old man.
In the chaos, Fan Yanglu's name was quietly passed over by Xiao Han.
Even if I feel a little emotional, I just feel that Lao Cheng got so lucky that he married the daughter of a rich family and has to spend his life less hard...
However, unlike Xiao Han, who knew nothing about it, Li Yuan had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind at this moment.
"Perhaps this is just a normal visit..."
After a long time, Li Yuan slowly stated the reason that even he himself did not believe.
"Hmph! Even if my father is still doubtful at this point, I can't say more. If I say too much, he will suspect my bad intentions! Now I just need to point out some key points."
Hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed in his mind: "Father, it's not that my son is being careless, it's just that what happened to Yang Guang is still fresh in his mind. There are some things that father should plan in advance.
.”
This time, Li Yuan just nodded and said nothing.
Naturally, he knows what Li Jiancheng said better than anyone else!
Everyone in the world said that Yang Guang was mediocre and unprincipled, which was why the whole world rebelled against him!
But as a participant in the whole thing, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of his cousin.
I remember that Yang Guang, who had just ascended the throne, was so energetic and talented!
Open the imperial examination, open the canal, conquer Lingnan!
Everything he has done is of great benefit to the present generation and will benefit the future generations! His far-sightedness is unparalleled in the world!
But how could such a man with such an outstanding vision become inexplicably jealous for a small Goguryeo? He mobilized the whole country to conquer it?
Li Yuan didn't understand it at the beginning and didn't dare to understand it!
It was not until now that he sat in the position of emperor that he finally understood a little of what Yang Guang wanted to do: Empty Shandong and conquer Goryeo! Use up the family and replenish state assets!
At the beginning, Yang Guang felt the constraints of the Shandong clan, so he brazenly launched the war with imperial power!
As for Gaoli? It was just unlucky at first. Who made it right next to Shandong? If Gaoli was there, he would have hit it without fail!
Therefore, Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo not because it refused to surrender, but because he happened to be there!
Because it was against Goryeo and Shandong was the closest, Yang Guang said: Since it is convenient for you to transport grain and grass, you should contribute some money and grain to the country, right?
Although all the big families feel pain in their hearts, facing Yang Guang who is at the height of his power, they can only grit their teeth!
You need to know that this is not just a little bit of money and food, but enough money and food to supply an army of 1.2 million!
If you include logistics, porters, and horses, the food and grass produced by the Shandong family will not be less than 5 million!
Just for this one thing, all the major families will be severely injured!
However, Yang Guang is definitely not satisfied with just extorting money and food!
Because the connections, money and food of these aristocratic families are nothing more than trivial external possessions! As long as the people are still there, it won't be long before they gather a huge amount of wealth.
