When a matchmaker is getting married, it takes at least half a year from the proposal of marriage, to the appointment, to the wedding date, and to the wedding. No matter how eager you are, you have to take your time.
Zhao Yuanming was so solemn about his matter. Li Xiao was only grateful and had no complaints at all. He said seriously: "Uncle, please give me some time."
Li Xiao has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and is full of heroic spirit. He is the youngest fourth-level military general in the Jin Dynasty. More importantly, he is deeply passionate about Wang Wei and does not want to have an affair without a matchmaker. He wants to marry Wang Wei openly. This alone is enough.
He has surpassed ninety-nine percent of the men in the world.
Zhao Yuanming admired the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart. However, there was no shortage of words that should be said: "There are women in every family. Since General Li is interested, don't waste time. Otherwise, if other young talents come to visit,
It’s too late to regret proposing marriage.”
Li Xiao responded respectfully.
Li Xiao stayed in Beihai County for a total of three days and only met Wang Wei once, still in full public view. Three days later, Li Xiao returned to the military camp.
The fervent longing in my heart has not weakened at all, but has become more intense.
Li Xiao wrote ten letters to his mother in a row, one letter a day, one after another. When Mrs. Li received the eighth letter, she finally felt relieved.
Among them, Wang Wei's recognition of Zhao Yuanming as her adoptive father played a great role.
The daughter of a bandit has no shame to speak out.
"The faces of the brother and sister have grown longer and become more and more handsome." Xu Ying came over at some point, holding the toddler Bao'er in her hand.
Wang Wei was still worried: "In this case, we really owe the Zhao family a huge favor."
Mrs. Li sniffed and glanced at her son: "Don't call her Wang Wei again. She is Zhao Qingdai."
Xiao Guoer raised her head with difficulty and smiled at her mother with a grin.
Mrs. Li had not seen her son for several years and had endless questions. Li Xiao patiently answered them one by one, and then asked: "My mother went to the Zhao family to propose marriage. Did the Zhao family accept the proposal?"
Ding Xiang was much more courageous than her master: "What are you afraid of? Mrs. Li didn't agree before because she disliked the Wang family. Now the lady's surname is Zhao and she is a girl of the Zhao family. Mrs. Li is not sure that she can use this marriage to become an in-law with the Beihai Palace.
How happy it is!"
Wang Wei knows the truth. However, when things come to a close, she just needs to be nervous and apprehensive.
Zhao Xiyan squatted beside the bed and patiently coaxed the child to look up: "Little Guo'er, little Hua'er, look up, mother is here."
Li Xiao responded without hesitation: "Mom, don't worry, my son will marry Zhao Qingdai and they will definitely be a loving couple in the future."
Li Xiao changed his words calmly: "What mother said is that there is no Wang Wei in the world, only Zhao Qingdai."
Mrs. Li smiled and sighed: "You have worked so hard to get this marriage. In the future, you will have to bear the consequences of whether your marriage is good or not."
Wang Wei knew that her mother-in-law would come to Beihai County in the future, and she was surprised, happy, and anxious at the same time.
Half a month later, Mrs. Li and several elders of the Li family arrived in Beihai County.
The first time Mrs. Li came to visit, she only talked about family matters with Mrs. Zhang. The second time she came, she mentioned her "useless son". It was only on the third visit that she expressed her intention to marry Zhao Qingdai, a girl from the Zhao family.
The weather is still hot, but it gets much cooler in the morning and evening.
Even if you are just going through the motions, you have to be presentable and follow the Zhao family's rules.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and picked up Little Bao'er, putting them on the bed together. Little Bao'er was very nimble, crawling around next to her younger siblings.
The days flew by and it was August.
Li Xiao hurriedly smiled and coaxed: "Wang Wei is a good girl. Mom will know when she comes in. The evil things her own father did will also have a deserved end."
Li Xiao had already sent someone to rent a large house in advance and kept it clean and tidy. After Mrs. Li settled in, she immediately went to Zhaojiafang to visit Mrs. Zhang.
Little Guoer Xiaohuaer, who is already more than two months old, wears a thin little dress with a big red bellyband.
Li Xiao helped his mother into the inner hall and sat down.
Zhang smiled and said: "General Li is young and talented. He once led troops to save the people of Beihai County. His character and character are first-class. However, getting married is not a trivial matter. I have to discuss it with Yuan Ming and ask Mrs. Li to go back.
Wait a few days."
Mrs. Li smiled hurriedly and said: "Of course. I will come to visit you again in a few days."
…
Xiao Hua'er also raised her head and grinned.
Wang Wei was silent for a long time, then slowly breathed out: "You are right, I will just wait."
"My good girl," Ding Xiang smiled and held her master's hand: "Don't think about it. This kindness will be repaid slowly in the future. If the young lady can't repay it, she will wait for her uncle to repay it. The prince can do it with
This matter will win over the Li family and win over the Jiaodong Army, which is also a good thing for the prince."
"Ding Xiang, I'm a little scared." Wang Wei read and re-read Li Xiao's autographed letter, her heart was wandering wildly, and she stretched out her hand to hold Ding Xiang's sleeve.
Zhao Qingdai, the righteous daughter of Zhao Yuanming, a famous scholar in Qingzhou, is different. She married and settled in Jiaodong. As long as she didn't tell anyone, who would know that Zhao Qingdai was Wang Wei?
Furthermore, Li Xiao married Zhao Qingdai and became brother-in-law with Xu Jing, the eldest son of Beihai Prince. Now Xu Jing is so famous that even the Li family in Jizhou know about it. Being married to the Zhao family has gradually declined with talent.
This is a great good thing for the Li family.
The two small faces are like peeled eggs, white and tender, and the eyes are like grapes. A blink can make one's heart melt.
When a man comes to propose marriage, there is no reason for a woman to accept the offer on the spot.
Mrs. Li made up her mind, and without any further delay, she went to discuss it with the elders of the clan, and then set off for Beihai County in person.
Since Li Xiao entered the army camp when he was a teenager, mother and son have been separated for five or six years. When they reunited today, Mrs. Li burst into tears for joy, grabbed her son's arm and choked with sobs: "You bastard, if my mother doesn't accept you, what will you do?"
Aren't you going to stop marrying and having children? You are deliberately trying to make your mother angry to death!"
…
They both know each other well and know what's going on. However, they have to show off on the surface.
After returning, I saw a handsome young man waiting at the gate of the courtyard. The young man smiled attentively and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
"It can't be so fast. I proposed marriage today, and people have to think about it for a while." Mrs. Li's words became extremely fast: "The Zhao family is a well-known scholar, and if you want to marry a girl from the Zhao family, it doesn't matter how many trips you make."
.”
Li Xiao was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.
The nannies watched carefully while Zhao Xiyan and Xu Ying chatted in low voices.
"Has the marriage between Li Xiao and Wang Wei been completed?" Xu Ying asked with a smile.
Zhao Xiyan nodded: "Mrs. Li personally went to Beihai County to propose marriage. With such sincerity, the marriage will definitely come true."
Xu Ying relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "It is really joyful that lovers finally get married."
Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly and was about to speak when Yuhan suddenly walked in quickly with an anxious look on her face: "Oh no! News came from the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fainted again today!"
