Chapter one hundred and ninety-one: pick it out
After drinking for three rounds, Geng Zhangguang asked Huang Yi: "You rushed back home after receiving the news of our arrival, so you are not worried about the war?"
"With Wisdom, Courage, Shuang, Quan, Peng, etc., there is nothing to worry about. Besides, when I received the letter, the troops had already begun to retreat. The Karaqin tribes were stunned and could not react in a short time. Wait for them to assemble
Thousands of troops have been raised, and my troops have gone home long ago."
Geng Zhanghua nodded and said: "Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong and others are indeed good men with both wisdom and courage. It should be no problem for them to lead the troops to retreat!"
Geng Zhangguang was still worried and asked: "The Karaqin Tatars have suffered a big loss, won't they come after them?"
Huang Yi said confidently: "If they come after me, they will definitely give away their lives in vain. I dare not think of them."
Geng Zhanghua pressed his knuckles loudly and said with a murderous look on his face: "I really hope they come after me."
My aunt was afraid of the Tatars and war, so she panicked and said, "The Tatars are coming. What should we do if we can't go back?"
Geng Zhanghua laughed loudly and said: "You can watch Huang Yi and I take the lead on the city gate tower, killing the Tatars with heads rolling, and tell everyone about our personal experiences when we return home."
The aunt said: "This city has not been built yet, how can it be defended?"
Geng Zhangguang consoled him: "With the city in this state, the Tatars can't defeat it even if they come with 30,000 troops. You don't have to worry."
"What if it comes to fifty thousand?"
Seeing that her mother seemed to be trying to argue, Geng Yueling quickly pulled her sleeves and whispered:
"Big brother and third brother said a few days ago that the Karaqin Tartars don't even have 20,000 troops, so how can they get 50,000?"
"Aren't there Jianzhou Jurchens? They can attack the capital city. Don't think I don't know that the Karaqin Tatars have defected to Jiannu."
Seeing that his aunt's face turned pale with fright, Geng Zhanghua found it funny and said: "Don't worry so much, drink a glass of wine to strengthen your courage. I will ask Geng Qi to take you back tomorrow!"
Geng Yueru didn't say anything. She kept stealing glances at Huang Yi, who was talking eloquently. Her face turned red and her heart was beating wildly.
Suddenly hearing the third brother say that he would send them back tomorrow was like a bucket of cold water poured on his heart.
I just came here and met once. There is going to be a war here. It is even more impossible for Huang Yi to enter the customs and go to Xuan Mansion to attend the wedding banquet to celebrate the eldest brother's election. When can we see each other again after this parting?
She objected: "I won't go back. If this place is attacked by Tatars and Jiannu, I will go to the city tower to beat drums and cheer for the soldiers!"
Geng Yueru's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it, and everyone looked at her with surprise on their faces.
A voice like a silver bell sounded, still childish, "I won't go back either, I want to accompany Sister Yueru, and I will also help beat the drums and cheer, just like Liang Hongyu!"
Huang Yi had just come back and held a banquet and drank wine at the Nanchengmen Building. The dishes were simple, roasted whole lamb, haggis, stewed beef, braised chicken, scrambled eggs...
In the Ming Dynasty, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered at will. Beef was a scarce resource and it did not matter on the prairie. As long as the cattle were difficult to domesticate, they could be killed and eaten.
Wang Baishan wanted to tell Huang Yi the news he heard on the road, but he had no chance because Huang Yi, Geng Zhanghua, and Geng Zhangguang had been discussing the results of the war.
The two brothers came to the base area for an on-the-spot investigation, but they did not expect that they would take the heads of more than 1,100 Karaqin Tatars back to the Xuan Mansion to report their merits.
At this time, the two brothers were very happy. They had a glass of wine with Huang Yi and I drank heartily. They also lamented that the achievements came one after another, too fast and too fierce, and it was not worthwhile.
It is impossible for the imperial court to continuously promote us within one year.
Wang Baishan couldn't get a word in, so he had to talk to Li Weida, who was familiar with him, and asked if the Geng family really intended to marry their legitimate daughter to Huang Yi.
Only then did Li Weida realize that Huang Yi had no idea about this huge good thing, so he told Wang Baishan, Zhang, Zuo Fanglian, Ye Huiling and Xiaojiu everything he knew.
Gu Da
These people all grew up and lived in official families. They were all honored when they learned that Governor Xuanda was willing to marry his legitimate daughter.
They sincerely hope that the head of the family will marry, take concubines, and give birth to a young master as soon as possible.
Although Huang Yi has traveled to the Ming Dynasty for more than a year, he is still not accustomed to feudal ethics because he has never attended a banquet of aristocratic families.
So I didn't think it was unusual to have so many female members of the Geng family at today's banquet.
He thought it was because Geng Zhanghua didn't care about red tape, and Geng Zhangguang, a figure who became a god in history, didn't care about etiquette either.
In the minds of Geng Zhangguang and Geng Zhanghua, Huang Yi would be his brother-in-law sooner or later, whether he married Yueru, Yueling, or both.
Even so, when they heard that the two younger sisters had announced that they would not go back and wanted to stay and play drums to cheer, they both blushed and lamented that girls are extroverted.
Only then did Huang Yi notice the two little girls sitting silently on the side of his aunt. One was a freshman in high school at most, and the other was probably just a junior high school student.
He smiled and said: "You two should be little sisters! I heard your third brother talk about it.
Do you know that if you want to beat the military drum, you need to have a lot of strength? With your small body, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
This was Huang Yi's first conversation with sisters Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling. The two little girls, who had been relatively brave just now, suddenly lowered their heads and were too shy to look directly at Huang Yi.
Huang Yi didn't know there was a story here, so he said carelessly: "Geng..., Mr. Geng, General Geng, I'm puzzled. The soldiers outside the Great Wall are in danger. How come you brought your family and your sister, my aunt, here?"
This, this is really hard to explain!
Geng Zhanghua simply refused to explain and asked: "What's the matter? You don't welcome me?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome, I just think it's too strange."
"I wonder how big you are! Stop talking nonsense, come and have a drink. By the way, why are you so polite today and calling me Sir, General?"
"Why don't we call each other by our first names? If you call me Mr. Huang, it makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I'd rather call you by my first name."
"Pfft!" My aunt, who had drank two glasses of wine, couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
Geng Zhangguang smiled and said: "Okay! From now on, we brothers will call each other by our names."
Then he pointed at the two sisters and introduced them one by one: "Huang Yi, this is the sixth sister Yueru, and this is the seventh sister Yueling, how about it!"
Huang Yi said politely: "I'm so envious of you for having such a beautiful little sister!"
Geng Zhanghua saw that Huang Yi couldn't convey his meaning and said angrily: "What do you envy? I envy you!"
"Uh! What do you mean? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it."
Seeing Huang Yi's confused look, Li Weida quickly came to toast and pulled Huang Yi to whisper.
"Ah? Two little sisters are so young? Are you kidding?" Huang Yi was surprised.
Li Weida was equally surprised. He thought Huang Yi's reaction was too strange and asked, "Why are you so young? Is this the age when you can talk about marriage?"
