"What does this mean?" Xu Zizhen turned over the piece of paper and read it several times, but found nothing else. This made him a little disappointed and confused.
Li Meng didn't understand what it meant, but he still pretended to understand and thought for a while: "Aunt Gao may think that there are more people in the family and it will be more lively."
Xu Zizhen slapped him away: "Get out!"
Li Meng rubbed his head and came over again, and said in a babbling tone: "But having said that, uncle, it's time for you to marry my sister back. She has been waiting for you for so long, are you going to let her grow old and old day by day?"
Xu Zizhen said: "Nonsense, of course I know, but I am running for my life this time. I am so poor that I have nothing but one person and one bird. How can I get married? What should I give as a betrothal gift?"
Li Meng laughed loudly: "Uncle, you are still poor? Isn't it just a betrothal gift? I will go to Yaode City for you. When Aunt Yun heard that you wanted to get a wife, why didn't she hurry up and give you a betrothal gift? You know that you took my sister
After marrying Princess Zoya, it will be her turn."
Xu Zizhen was right when he thought about it. He kept forgetting that he was a city lord. It was just a small betrothal gift and he was just marrying a princess. How big a deal was it?
Yaode City? This name sounds grand, Yaode, I want it!
Although there were few words in Gao Pujun's letter, Xu Zizhen actually understood what she meant. If he could marry the two princesses of Tubo and Xixia, his political status would rise immediately. How dare princes from other countries, such as Wang Fu or Li Bangyan, dare to do tricks?
Even King Jing Zhao Qi had to think carefully about committing evil acts.
Of course, being a prince-in-law from another country and going to work in the Song Dynasty is not immune to criticism, but this is not a problem, as long as Zhao Gou doesn't care about it. Based on Zhao Gou's understanding of Xu Zizhen, he will never doubt him. Besides, Zhao Gou will never doubt him.
Even if there is doubt, it will only be after he becomes emperor. There is still a long time before now, so there is no rush.
The older one and the younger one started discussing in a low voice in the room. Xu Zizhen didn’t know as much about Yaode City as Li Meng did, and he couldn’t leave for the time being. Firstly, his injuries hadn’t healed, and secondly, he had to follow him here.
Zhuo Yaduo contacted her to establish a relationship in order to marry her back.
Soon, the plan to propose marriage took shape in Xu Zizhen's mind. After muttering for a long time, the uncle and nephew decided. Xu Zizhen stayed here to recuperate, and Li Meng went to Xixia for him to do what needed to be done in advance, and then came back.
.
Li Meng was a bit impatient, so Xu Zizhen handed him the plan, got up, packed up, and left. Not long after he left, Doqi Zhuoma came.
"Uncle, where is...Xiao Meng?" Duoqi Zhuoma asked coquettishly, her face red.
Xu Zizhen was stunned. He was so busy talking about his marriage that he forgot about the couple's meeting and intimacy.
Duoqi Zhuoma was very smart. She knew what was going on just by looking at his expression. Suddenly her face fell down and tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother Xiaomeng, why did he leave as soon as he came and didn't wait for me to come? Could it be that
He doesn’t even want to see me anymore?”
Xu Zizhen suddenly panicked. He was always afraid of seeing women cry, let alone a little loli like Duoqi Zhuoma.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's not as serious as you think."
But the more he tried to persuade Duoqi Dolma, the harder he cried. When he was about to slam the door and leave, Xu Zizhen suddenly shouted: "Xiao Meng left in such a hurry because he has a conspiracy. If you don't cry, I will tell you!"
Duoqi Zhuoma's crying stopped suddenly, and she looked at him with a pair of big eyes filled with tears: "What...what conspiracy?"
Xu Zizhen lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This conspiracy is...he wants to prepare the betrothal gift without telling you, and then go to ask your father to marry you and take you home. However, in order to give you a surprise, he deliberately didn't let you know that he
He said that you are not only beautiful, but also too smart, so I don’t even dare to see you, just because I am afraid that you will notice something, and then the surprise will be worthless. "
The more Duoqi Zhuoma listened, the more embarrassed she became. She stopped crying and had no tears. Her face was as red as a ripe peach. After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said softly: "Uncle, you are coaxing me again.
,I...I don’t believe it.”
Xu Zizhen solemnly pointed to the sky and swore: "I want to lie to you that Li Meng is a puppy!"
"..."
"Okay, you know my relationship with Xixia Princess Li Luoyan, right?"
Duoqi Zhuoma said: "I know, I heard from Brother Xiaomeng that you and that princess sister have been engaged for a long time."
Xu Zizhen clapped his hands: "Yes, that's Li Meng's sister. He can obviously call me brother-in-law, but he still calls me uncle until now. Why would he prefer to be a lower generation? Is it because you have to call me uncle in the future?
, he won’t have to mess up the seniority, do you understand?”
Now Duoqi Dolma was completely convinced, her head dropped to her chest in shame, Bai Shengsheng twisted her fingers together, bit her lips and softly responded: "I understand."
"But..." Xu Zizhen suddenly extended his tone and stopped talking here. Duoqi Zhuoma was nervous and looked up at him. Xu Zizhen chuckled and continued, "Both Xiaomeng and I are a little unsure.
I wonder if your father will agree."
Duoqi Zhuoma said hurriedly: "He promised, my father has always liked brother Xiaomeng!"
"What if I want to marry your aunt? Will your father agree?"
"this……"
Duoqi Dolma hesitated for a moment. The King of Tubo had met Li Meng, and Li Meng helped him resolve a chaos, so he had a good impression of this young man who was half Song Dynasty and half Xia Dynasty. But what about Xu Zizhen, an old man?
What happened? Even if it was his idea to send Li Meng to help, after all, he had never even seen him and had no idea at all.
Xu Zizhen then said: "Well, you make an appointment with your father for me, and I will come and talk to him. Don't worry, he will benefit."
Duoqi Zhuoma knew what Xu Zizhen was capable of, so she agreed without even thinking about it. She didn't bother to care about the benefits of her father, but her marriage to Li Meng was... thinking of this, she blushed so much that she didn't dare to think about it.
, and ran out of the door as if running away in a hurry, preparing to go back to Lhasa to see his father.
Xu Zizhen touched his chin and put a smile on his lips. At this time, Tubo was still divided among the kings, and the situation was quite chaotic. As long as he could recruit some people to help, whether it was the Song Dynasty or Xixia, it was really impossible to destroy the Shenji Camp again.
After being transferred back, the King of Tubo was already very powerful. Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to pacify Tubo and take full power?
I still don’t believe it. In this place where we are fighting on horseback and wielding swords, and the Shenji battalion comes to help with muskets, which tribe can withstand it? By then, I am afraid that five hundred people will be enough, and we won’t kill whoever we see?
Of course, it was within Xu Zizhen's expectation that the King of Tubo would lend a hand for the sake of his in-laws when Zhao Gou was in trouble.
At this time, Xu Zizhen suddenly realized that Gao Pujun asked him to marry not only for his own safety, but also to open up a huge network of relationships to pave the way for the future.
