"What? Get married! Get a wife! Have a child!" The second son's surprised voice came from the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister and the eldest lady were sitting on the Taishi's chair, drinking tea in a serious manner. Although they had already been mentally disturbed
I was prepared to watch my son's reaction, but facing such an angry son, I felt a little guilty. After all, I had arranged a marriage for my son without discussing it with him in advance. I wanted to get them married by the end of the year. Although my son is usually fine
He is filial, but his temper is not easy to offend.
"It's time for men to get married, and it's time for women to get married. It's time for you to get married." The eldest lady said very carefully.
"My son is not old enough to get married yet. Besides, my son doesn't like Yan'er or Zi'er either." Xiao Boyang said and turned around to leave.
"You're not allowed to leave. What's wrong with Yan'er? She's beautiful, smart, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. And his father is..." The eldest lady came over and stopped her.
"Mother, my son is not yet sixteen. If you really want to take him, you must marry the one you like." Xiao Boyang thought, he couldn't marry, and he decided not to marry.
"Then you can take it when you meet someone you like. This matter has been decided. You can't do anything wrong." said the prime minister.
"Dad, you..." Xiao Boyang thought to himself: It's all premeditated, no, I won't marry, absolutely not. So he said cautiously and resolutely: "How can a real man get a wife before he has established a successful career?"
"Then it is possible to get a wife and then build a career. Not all of the millions of men in the world who have no fame have three wives and four concubines." The eldest lady advised.
"If I want to marry, I will marry..." Xiao Boyang, who was forced to express his thoughts, was about to speak out what was in his heart. But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the Prime Minister. "How dare you, you traitor! Tell me what you want to do."
Willing to marry the daughter of the imperial envoy."
"Establish your merits first. The Northern Sirius has invaded our border. I have already discussed with the prince and will accompany General Li to the border to fight against the enemy." On the hunting ground, General Li was very impressed by his victory in the hunting competition. He was indeed a hero.
I originally discussed with the prince to let General Li go on the expedition with him, but he didn't expect to rush back because he knew what happened at home.
"When will we go to war?" The second elder looked at his son in surprise.
"If parents want to, they can leave in two days." Actually it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so there was nothing we could do.
"Well, I'll just wait until you come back after making great achievements." It seems that my son is determined. Pressure is not the answer.
"But sir, this..." the eldest lady thought, she was already engaged, and this time it ended like this.
"If it's okay, I'll retreat first." Xiao Boyang thought: If you don't run away quickly, it will be fatal!
Watching my son walk out angrily.
"Master, the marriage has been decided, this is..." The eldest lady looked at the Prime Minister in embarrassment.
"Madam, Boyang is indeed still young. Have you forgotten our original intention of getting married?" Xiao Mude said, twirling his beard.
"Oh. The master originally wanted to use this marriage to keep Boyang away from his deceased son. Now this will not only separate them, but also allow his son to make achievements. And if Yan'er really cares about Boyang, she will also wait for Boyang to come back.
Then I will have a good wife. Master, you really kill three birds with one stone..." The eldest lady held out three fingers and said with a smile, but when she thought of the rumors about Sirius, she worried: "It's just that that day
The people of the Wolf Country are very ferocious and I am afraid of Boyang..."
"Madam, don't worry, that General Li is experienced in hundreds of battles. Boyang will be successful if he follows him, and you are General Li's granddaughter who is also a beauty. Maybe General Li likes Boyang's tightness, so he takes his granddaughter
We agreed to him, and we didn't object at that time, seeing that he never obeyed." The prime minister's eyes were bright, and he continued to twist the tufts of beard on his chin with a sly look.

It has been winter for a long time, and there is thick snow everywhere and a vast expanse of white. Xiao Boyang walked slowly on the path. He thought: There is no other way. Now I can only use this method to refuse this marriage. I
How could he not know what his parents were worried about? His son has been a beautiful woman since he was a child, and you can tell it just by looking at Sanniang. A joke he made when he was a child made them worry all the time. After he came back, he didn't know why, but he doted on his sister more and more. If you say
In the past, it was because of the beauty of my deceased son. After I came back, I found her more and more cute and had more and more clever ideas. She was indeed a little witch and a little money-crazy. When I was with her, I could always feel relieved.
Thinking about it, Xiao Boyang smiled unconsciously. He couldn't figure out his feelings for this sister. He just wanted to protect and love her. His father had always doubted the life of his deceased son, and he wanted her more.
Not my fourth sister.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days. At that time, the whole government will have New Year's Eve dinner together. After the Lantern Festival, they will go out with the army. Xiao Boyang thought, depressed, and walked to Qiuye Court without knowing it.
.
"Second Young Master, you are here, come in quickly, it's cold outside." Qingcao quickly let Boyang in. Then he shouted into the room: "Madam, Miss, Second Young Master is here."
When I heard the call of the grass, I was roasting sweet potatoes around the stove. I am most afraid of the cold. After I came here, I didn’t know why I felt even a little bit cold and I shivered. No matter how much I ran or exercised, it was useless. Thinking about this second brother
He really has a body. He is running around everywhere in the cold weather.
"Dead sister, what are you doing? Go out for a walk with your second brother." He came over and said energetically.
"It's too cold to go out. I'm roasting sweet potatoes." I knocked on the sweet potatoes in the stove, but they seemed not yet ripe.
"It seems pretty good. It's very fragrant and there are quite a lot of them." He stared at the sweet potatoes and said.
"Yes, two per person, six in total." I counted them and said.
"Okay, I want these two." He picked up a branch and pointed to the two largest ones.
"It belongs to mother, Qingcao and me. It doesn't belong to you." I sighed, Yaya, you have everything you want, and you come here to eat and drink.
He sat back on the small bench unhappily and said, "Dead sister, you wouldn't do this to your second brother. Look, I came to see you on such a cold day..."
"Miss, the madam said there is so much that we can't finish. As long as the second young master doesn't dislike it, the second young master will eat with us." Qingcao ran over, poked his head and said.
The soundproofing effect of the house here is not very good. When people in one room speak, people in the third room can hear.
"Who said you can't finish it? I can finish it." I looked at my second brother and said, "I won't give it to you. Let's see what you can do."
"Yes, you can finish your portion, and I'll help them finish the other two portions." If you don't let me eat, I insist on eating. Seeing her little face turned red and still alive, I just wanted to tease her.
With her playful look, she really didn't think about any troubles.
"Okay!" I stretched out my hand in front of him and said.
He looked at me suspiciously and said, "No, I just gave it two days ago. Why do I need it again today?"
"The day before yesterday was dinner, and today is snack." I said seriously.
"Dim sum?!" He looked at the dark roasted sweet potatoes in front of him with a puzzled look. After calming down, he said: "Okay, dim sum is just dim sum. Remember I paid for the dim sum. Here you go!" Xiao Boyang thought.
: Fortunately, I brought some banknotes with me today, so I gave them all. Otherwise, I won’t be able to tease her a little bit in the future. I also thought, if I really leave, this little witch will miss him and take good care of him.
His own, so he asked: "Sir, what if the second brother..."
I looked at the 100 taels of silver notes in my hand, wow, two years of monthly money. How many sweet potatoes can I buy? I made it! I made it! What will I buy with green grass tomorrow? The more I thought about it, the more beautiful I became. I didn’t pay attention.
What did the second brother say?
Seeing this scene, Xiao Boyang stopped what he said and said: "Little money fan, can you stop staring at the money and listen to what I have to say seriously."
"Okay, you say it, you say it!" I said, but continued to stare at the banknote in my hand, ignoring him.
With a whoosh, the banknote flew away. When I looked up, he took the banknote back unhappily. I immediately corrected my mistake and said, "Okay, you can tell me, I've been listening."
After saying that, I reached for the precious banknote. I could buy a lot of things.
"Dead sister," he grabbed my shoulders with both hands and asked me to look at him, "If my second brother has to go away for something and comes back after a long time, you must take care of yourself and don't be the same as last time. Do you understand?"
"Second brother, where are you going?" I saw that this guy was serious, so I changed my attention and asked seriously.
"If I want to go... I mean go far away and go to the border to defend the city. It might take a while."
"War! It's very dangerous." I thought, isn't this the time of peace? Why should we fight?
"It's to defend the city. Go with General Li. Besides, your second brother and I are extremely skilled in martial arts, so I'll be fine."
He's here again. But judging from his appearance, he's led by an old man, so the risk factor should be lower.
"Dead sister, your Siyi Quan is pretty good, but your Qinggong is not very good. You need to practice hard in the future, don't run around, and... you know?" Although Xiao Boyang still has about ten days to go, but I still say it first, it's really
I'm not too worried about this girl.
What he said is that a person with many thieves has many thieves. In the past, the second brother talked a lot when quarreling, but he really didn't have so many uncle-level words. It's strange, I feel like he wants to talk about more than just defending the city.
