After nearly forty days of construction, the inner wall of Qianhusuo Fortress, Wu Shigong's residence, the guard's barracks, and the stables were finally built. Wu Shigong immediately moved all the people and horses living in the town
passed.
After moving to Qianhusuo Fortress, in order to celebrate the move, Wu Shigong and Zhao Ruya spent several nights together.
That morning, Wu Shigong finished his breakfast and went out to participate in riding training while contentedly holding a toothpick in his mouth and humming a tune.
As he walked, Wu Shigong was still thinking: "This is the real happy life! After a few days, when the two girls are taken in, it will be even more perfect. But it's a pity that Li Xin, then
The little girl is plump and looks really good, but she is going back to her hometown to get married..."
When Wu Shigong was thinking about this, he happened to walk to the door of the wall and suddenly saw a veiled woman walking towards him in front of him.
After the woman saw Wu Shigong, although she couldn't see her expression under the veil, her eyes had already curved into crescent shapes. Isn't this woman Li Xin or who else?
Wu Shigong let out a loud cry in surprise, and took a few steps back, leaning against the door.
Seeing Wu Shigong's expression of seeing a ghost, Li Xin immediately put away her smile and raised her beautiful eyebrows. She walked up to Wu Shigong, kicked Wu Shigong hard several times, and then said "hum",
He walked towards the inner house without looking back.
Wu Shigong had not yet woken up from the shock. He was still thinking: "This man always eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. So, what I just saw must be an illusion."
However, Shu Mo's smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Wu Shigong, which suddenly brought Wu Shigong back to reality. Shu Mo called Wu Shigong flatteringly: "Master, the little one is back!"
The anger in Wu Shigong's chest rose, and he cursed Shumo angrily: "How do you do this kid? Can't you handle such a small thing?"
Shu Mo immediately replied aggrievedly: "Master, it's not that I'm incompetent. There's a reason why Miss Li came back." So Wu Shigong asked Shu Mo to explain the whole story clearly.
It turned out that Na Shumo was a little reluctant in his heart when his young master arranged for him to send Li Xin back to his hometown in Changzhou.
In Shumo's view, he just thinks: Li Xin has been in the hands of the young master for more than a year. Regardless of whether Li Xin is willing or not, the young master has taken over Li Xin's house. Since the young master has bought Li Xin,
Then Li Xin belongs to the young master. But the young master actually respects Li Xin's opinion and sends Li Xin back to his hometown in Changzhou to get married. This is simply too much for a mother-in-law.
Of course Shumo would not express his objections in front of Wu Shigong, but it was inevitable for him to criticize his young master in his heart.
In fact, this was one of Wu Shigong's most criticized shortcomings by the men around him. At that time, in the Ming Dynasty, the social custom was that men were superior to women.
And Wu Shigong comes from modern times. Although his machismo is also very serious, he will at least treat women as equals, listen to their opinions, and respect their wishes. However, Wu Shigong's shortcomings are not visible to the women around him.
, on the contrary, it is his greatest advantage.
However, after Li Xin arrived in Changzhou, she never expected that her third uncle would arrange such a marriage for her.
Li Xin's family is a middle-class family in Changzhou. However, due to the emergence of Li Yushi, Li Xin's father, a high-ranking official, Li Xin's family has also become one of the first-class families in Changzhou.
Unfortunately, Li Yushi was suddenly convicted and died suddenly in prison. The family suddenly lost its backbone and its status plummeted.
At this time, the Zhou family, a top official family in Changzhou, heard that Li Xin had sent a letter home and would return to Changzhou, so they proposed to the Li family that they wanted to marry Li Xin.
Li Xin has been famous since she was a child, and all men know that - she is the daughter of a high-ranking official. Therefore, the Zhou family proposed that not only should Li Xin marry a direct line member of the Zhou family, but also that Li Xin should be the official
house.
But why is there no word "son" after the direct line? Because the person who married Li Xin was the direct line of the Zhou family...the old man!?
Since there are three words "old man", then this old man Zhou must be over sixty years old. The old man Zhou's first wife happened to have passed away not long ago. I don't know what the old man Zhou was thinking. He set Xu Xuan's goal
Targeting a little girl like Li Xin.
When the Zhou family discussed this idea with the Li family through a matchmaker, the two parties hit it off immediately. The patriarch of the Li family, Li Xin's third uncle, immediately decided to accept the marriage.
In the eyes of Patriarch Li, it is completely reasonable and reasonable for Li Xin, a woman of the Li family, to sacrifice herself for the benefit of the family. Besides, Li Xin married into the Zhou family as the head wife, and she did not feel wronged.
.As for the age gap, this issue was never considered an issue in marriages during the Ming Dynasty.
However, I was somewhat worried about Li Xin's resistance to this marriage. Therefore, in the letter sent to Li Xin in the capital, I only told Li Xin about such a marriage, but did not tell Li Xin that I was going to marry Old Man Zhou.
.
Li Xin was actually very happy to return to Changzhou. However, as soon as she returned to her home and found out about such a marriage, she must have been reluctant. However, Li Xin only had a few younger brothers.
The current patriarch of the Li family is her third uncle. According to the marriage rules of the Ming Dynasty at that time, her third uncle could definitely make the decision for Li Xin's marriage.
And Li Xin was definitely not a brave woman who dared to resist the feudal arranged marriage. Otherwise, she would not have been living peacefully in the makeup shop for more than a year. Therefore, Li Xin could only shrink in
I was sulking in my boudoir.
But when Shu Mo heard the news, he immediately went into a rage. Although Shu Mo was a mangy dog in front of his young master, he had been following Wu Shigong in the Bingma Division for more than a year, and others called him "Master Shu".
It sounds like calluses are coming out of your ears. Therefore, as long as Wu Shigong is not around, Shumo always looks arrogant and arrogant in front of outsiders.
So now, why does Shumo put ordinary people like the Zhou family and Li family in his eyes?
Besides, Shu Mo also had some small thoughts. Shu Mo was originally a pretty person, and he was also smooth-talking and eloquent. Therefore, on the way to send Li Xin back to her hometown in Changzhou, something unpleasant happened with Li Xin's maid.
A story that I don’t want to tell, but I can’t tell.
Therefore, whether it was for the young master or for himself, Shu Mo had plenty of reasons to get angry.
At this time, we have to take a closer look at what are the attributes of Shumo? First of all, Shumo is of course a person. However, he is also the mangy dog next to Wu Shigong. So, to be precise, Shumo is
An orc.
So what is the unique racial skill of the orcs? Of course it is madness. So Shu Mo immediately became mad. And the facts proved that Shu Mo was not only an orc, but also an orc priest. He was in the process of becoming mad.
, unexpectedly released a halo of madness. At this time, the ten guards brought by Shu Mo also became mad.
With the help of the maid next to Li Xin who had good reasons to act as an internal agent, Shu Mo and the ten guards rushed into the Li family's inner house and snatched out the still hesitant Li Xin.
When the Li family, the Zhou family who came after hearing the news, and the local government officials came to stop Shumo and the others, Shumo and the guards all took out the weapons around them.
Shu Mo also loudly announced to everyone: "We are all from the Hou Mansion. Our young master kindly sent his wife Ru to her parents' home to visit relatives, but you are forcing Mrs. Ru to marry someone else. Is there no king in the Ming Dynasty?
Is there any law? Let's leave now. I want to see who dares to block the way? Unless they step on our corpses. If you have any questions, go to the capital, go to Gongshunhou Mansion and Yangwuhou Mansion.
Go talk."
Seeing Shu Mo's arrogant attitude, the people blocking the road hesitated and did not dare to move. These people heard from Shu Mo's words that the person who robbed people was the young master of Mr. Hou's family, and that was not the young Mr. Hou.
? This kind of hot potato, those at the bottom are small, so it’s better not to get involved.
So Shumo took Li Xin and her maid to Changzhou Pier. After boarding the ship, they returned to Jining Prefecture. Then, they also returned to Qianhusuo.
Li Xin had mixed emotions along the way. She understood that once she left the Li family, she would never go back. She could only stay with Wu Shigong. Li Xin was still a little worried.
I was afraid that Wu Shigong would look down on her and laugh at her after seeing her.
Unexpectedly, after Wu Shigong saw her, he actually did something even more extreme. Wu Shigong seemed to have seen a ghost. Why couldn't this make Li Xin feel ashamed and angry?
After knowing all this, Wu Shigong could only scratch his head. Of course there is no problem in raising a little girl like Li Xin. But Wu Shigong also understood that his performance just now might have hurt Li Xin's heart.
Wu Shigong first drove away Shu Mo, who was dangling in front of him with a face that was trying to please the prime minister, and asked him and the guards to seize the time to train and make up for the lack of training content in these days.
Then, Wu Shigong returned to the inner house. In the inner house, Zhao Ruya, who was talking to Li Xin, saw Wu Shigong come in, and rolled her eyes at Wu Shigong with a playful smile. She then left knowingly, leaving Wu Shigong and Li Xin
Xin stayed alone to talk.
Li Xin lowered his head and remained silent. Wu Shigong said to Li Xin sincerely: "Since you are here, I will not let you go again. Since you believe in me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong grabbed Li Xin, hugged her into his arms, aimed at Li Xin's small mouth, and kissed her.
Li Xin was at a loss by Wu Shigong's actions. She was so confused and lost her resistance completely. The two kissed passionately for a while. Suddenly, Li Xin struggled to push Wu Shigong away some distance and looked up.
He raised his head and asked Wu Shigong: "Do you dislike me for having no breasts and no butt?"
Wu Shigong was dumbfounded by Li Xin's question. Unexpectedly, even now, the little girl still remembered the angry words he had quarreled with Li Xin in the cosmetics shop in Beijing.
So, Wu Shigong quickly replied very seriously: "I will definitely not dislike it. Because, I also have no breasts and no butt."
After saying that, Wu Shigong then kissed Li Xin...
