Chapter 1,749 Marrying Two Daughters, a Chariot and Cavalry General
Chapter 1749 Marrying Two Daughters, Chariot and Cavalry General
June.
Su Mingzhe went to Nishan Academy to marry Wang Lan.
Although Wang Shiyu, the father-in-law, didn't look very good-looking, he didn't say much. He just held Su Mingzhe in his arms and told him for a long time not to bully his daughter.
…
After the wedding with Wang Lan.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Shangyu again.
The day when my son-in-law pays homage to the pavilion.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at the door of Zhu Yingtai's house with his wedding team, he saw Zhu Yingtai's eight brothers holding up their mallets and insisting on going through the process of 'beating their son-in-law'.
Beating a son-in-law is a process of welcoming a bride, also known as the "make-up drama".
This means that from the moment the groom enters the father-in-law's house, the bride's relatives and friends start beating the son-in-law with sticks, and the beatings will not stop until the bride gets on the groom's sedan chair.
This custom has been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the Han Dynasty and has a long history.
Most people just show off and don't really know how to fight.
However, Su Mingzhe saw his eight uncles looking at him with eager eyes, obviously preparing for a real fight, which made him "cowardly before fighting".
…
The beating never came.
In other words, Zhu Yingtai's eight brothers were just pretending to scare their future sister-in-law, and they did not intend to fight him.
Su Mingzhe, who didn't need to lose face, quickly thanked his uncles.
Not long after.
Zhu Yingtai wore a red hijab and was escorted out by her maid Yin Xin holding her little hand.
Amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
Su Mingzhe rode a tall horse and led the team back to Yuyao Su Mansion.
…
Bridal night with flowers and candles.
When Su Mingzhe walked into the bridal chamber, he saw the bride and her maid Yin Xin holding two white porcelain bottles, admiring the patterns on them, and couldn't help but feel happy:
"Yin Xin, go down and rest."
"Yes, uncle."
When Yin Xin saw the man, she seemed frightened and threw the porcelain vase directly into her young lady's arms. Then, ignoring Zhu Yingtai's pleading eyes, she lowered her head shyly and retreated.
Su Mingzhe locked the door and returned to the bedside, where he saw the bride hiding the porcelain vase with beautiful patterns under the quilt.
Without trying to expose the woman's little tricks, Su Mingzhe poured two glasses of wine, came to the bedside, and chuckled:
"Madam, let's drink at Hexin Bar first."
"Who is your wife!"
Seeing that she had no retreat, Zhu Yingtai simply broke the jar, pulled off the red scarf on her head, and then said angrily to the man:
"Su Mingzhe, tell me honestly, when did you find out that I was a girl? Why did you force me to marry you?"
"Yingtai, when I visited your home before the Spring Festival, I heard someone say that I didn't know you were a girl until the Zhu family had eight sons and one daughter. However, I like you...probably from the time you got the winter dye.
Epidemic, when I was taking care of you, I started to get emotional."
Su Mingzhe lowered his head and looked at the red line between himself and Zhu Yingtai. He had already been deeply in love with Zhu Yingtai. He guessed that the woman asked the question out of shame and anger, and immediately answered with dignity:
"When I confirmed that I fell in love with you, I thought I had the habit of Longyang. Therefore, the dean told me that the prefect of Wuxing wanted to recruit me as an assistant. In order to avoid you, I didn't think too much.
I immediately agreed to accept the conquest and left the academy... Later I found out that you were a girl, and I realized that I don't have the habit of Longyang..."
A true and false confession instantly relieved the girl who was already easily emotional.
However, Zhu Yingtai was not stupid and quickly continued to ask:
"But, you have a wife and concubines, why do you still let me marry you? Don't you know that it is very unfair to me to have one husband with another woman?"
"It's really not my fault!"
Su Mingzhe looked miserable and explained helplessly:
"When I was in the Langya Kingdom, I took this matter as a joke and told it to the then King Langya. Who would have thought that within a few months, King Langya would become the emperor and help me get married... a man who could
The opportunity to spend a lifetime with the woman I love is right in front of me, I can't refuse it, right?"
Seeing that the man gave him an explanation, Zhu Yingtai didn't really object to the marriage, so despite the man's fuss, she half-pushed and half-complied.
A beautiful night.
the next day.
Su Mingzhe took the bride to greet her parents-in-law.
According to etiquette, Su's father and Su's mother said a few words and asked them to leave.
When she returned to her residence, Zhu Yingtai asked her maid Yin Xin to accompany her to catch up on her sleep.
Last night, after the two of them performed the Zhou Gong ceremony, Zhu Yingtai took the man and chatted for most of the night. Now she is almost exhausted.
"Yingtai, you can't sleep now."
Su Mingzhe stopped the woman.
Zhu Yingtai asked in confusion:
"Why can't you sleep?"
"You haven't gone to see Wang Lan yet!"
Su Mingzhe's words reminded Zhu Yingtai.
The emperor granted marriage, and Wang Lan's name was in front of Zhu Yingtai.
Moreover, Wang Lan married one month earlier than Zhu Yingtai, and the Wang family in Taiyuan was of a higher family status than the Zhu family in Shangyu. Wang Lan was also two years older, so she should be the elder sister.
After hearing this, Zhu Yingtai had no choice but to accompany the man to the small courtyard where Wang Lan lived to visit her sister.
Wang Lan was naturally filled with joy when she met Zhu Yingtai, they were acquaintances after all.
The two female sisters got along well and had a cordial conversation.
Wang Lan simply left Zhu Yingtai to rest at his residence.
As for Su Mingzhe, after returning to Zhu Yingtai's courtyard, he was served by his maid Yin Xin.
…
One month later.
Su Mingzhe took his family back to Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom and began to recruit troops.
His current title is General Zhenglu, with an official rank of the third rank. According to the military system, he can have 2,000 troops and command an army of 5 to 100,000.
Langya country is located on the border between the two countries, and its folk customs are relatively tough.
Su Mingzhe quickly selected 2,000 troops (guards) for his headquarters, and then recruited 50,000 troops to prepare for war.
…
After the death of Emperor Yan Murong Jun, the new emperor ascended the throne and vowed to inherit the great achievements of the previous emperor, and his army went south to attack Jin.
After Jin Emperor Sima Pi learned the news, he could only continue to recruit troops and send them to the northern border.
…
Months pass by in the blink of an eye.
The second year after Sima Pi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
In early March, during the farming season, millions of Yan troops marched south again.
Because last time, Su Mingzhe's guerrilla war made the Yan people extremely embarrassed. This time, the Yan people simply bypassed the Langya Kingdom and only placed 50,000 troops in Taishan County as a diversionary force, not preparing to attack Langya.
Su Mingzhe was overjoyed when he heard the news.
When the main force of the Yan army attacked the hinterland of the Central Plains, he immediately led the army to sneak attack Taishan County.
The Yan people never expected that Su Mingzhe would launch a counterattack, and they were caught off guard and easily wiped out an army of 50,000 people.
After occupying Taishan County, Su Mingzhe sent people to sneak attack the Yan army's food road, while organizing the Han people of Yan to move south.
After the food route for the millions of troops was cut off, the Yan people had problems eating, and they had no choice but to return to the army in a hurry.
Su Mingzhe was more skilled and used the strategy of clearing the field with a strong wall on the opponent's way back to the enemy.
The Yan army, which had been without effective supplies for half a month, continued to decline in combat effectiveness.
Early June.
In Donghai County and Yanci County of Yan State, Su Mingzhe made two sneak attacks, annihilating nearly 200,000 Yan troops and capturing more than 50,000 people.
Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe had too few troops, the opponent had too many troops, and it was the territory of Yan State, so the results of the battle could not be expanded indefinitely.
Even so, Su Mingzhe also took the opportunity to expand thousands of miles and take the entire land of Qilu into his pocket.
When the news came back to Jiankang City, Sima Pi was so happy that he directly promoted Su Mingzhe to the rank of Duke of Qi, general of chariots and cavalry, leader of Yanzhou, and governor of Youzhou.
