Mrs. Cui instantly decided on the candidate: "Why don't you choose the wife? The marriage with the wife is not very good, and the twelve younger brothers and sisters have been thinking about canceling the marriage. The wife has a good character and is suitable for entering the palace. If she succeeds in the palace, what else can she do?

I can help my younger brother."

Cui Twelve fell into the hands of Xiao Yao, and he was afraid that he would not end well. The wife had no one to support her, and she would inevitably be angry when she married another aristocratic family in the future. She might as well enter the palace to find a way out and be the support of her younger brother.

Mrs. Cui thought that it was about her wife's younger brother. Even the twelve younger brothers and sisters supported her statement. She didn't want her to finish speaking. Cui Twelve's wife knelt down and said firmly: "Master, my mother won't come in."

Palace, if she enters the palace, I might as well stab her to death, then kill Ah Jiu and commit suicide, then the husband will go too." After saying that, he pulled out the golden hairpin and pointed it at his neck.

Mrs. Cui's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked to her mother's side with tears in her eyes, and then knelt down.

Mr. Cui didn't know whether Cui Twelve was alive or dead, and he was afraid that Cui Twelve's wife was really seeking death, so he exterminated this branch and spread the word, which would disgrace the Boling Cui family. After all, he would never hurt a clan member for the sake of a clan member who was not the Xiao clan. Therefore,

Nodding: "Get up now. If you don't want to, we won't force you." After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui hurriedly gave many reasons and talked about the benefits of her wife marrying in the past, hoping to convince the tribe.

Cui Twelve's wife was so angry that she immediately pointed her sword at Cui Miao, saying that Cui Miao was the daughter of the Cui family. Even if she wanted to marry, Cui Miao should marry first. Furthermore, Cui Miao had received great favor from the Cui family and should take the initiative when the Cui family needed help.

Repay a favor.

Mrs. Cui was naturally reluctant to let Cui Miao enter the palace and be groomed by Xiao Yao. Seeing that Cui Twelve's wife was not easy to bully, she immediately pointed at another girl.

The parents of those girls knew that Xiao Yao hated the Cui family and would not let the girls of the Cui family have an easy time. When Xiao Yao used his dignity as a queen to trouble their girls, their girls would have to suffer. And Cui Shi

This was a successful example of the second wife, and everyone immediately spoke out against it. Some smart people were so angry that they decided to touch Mrs. Xiao's beloved Cui Miao, so they said to Cui Miao:

"A Miao, although you are not a bloodline of our Cui family, over the years, we have all recognized you as a Xiao family member, and we love and protect you more than your biological parents. Now, when our Cui family needs you, can you

Do you still remember the kindness our Cui family treated you?"

Mrs. Cui's expression changed drastically, and she immediately started to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped, and someone took the initiative to let Cui Miao, the person involved, speak.

Cui Miao's eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to see Mrs. Cui in trouble, so she could only say: "The Cui family has been very kind to me, and I have always felt deeply about it. Now that the Cui family is in trouble, I will not hesitate to die. Serving General Su, if

If the girl in the clan is not suitable, leave it to me."

Mrs. Cui burst into tears when she heard this and immediately tried to persuade Cui Miao.

Unexpectedly, the old man was the first to speak. He said to Cui Miao with approving eyes and a tone of approval: "Okay! Okay! You are a kind-hearted child and you have lived up to the upbringing and love that our Cui family has given you." Then he announced that the matter had been settled, and Cui Miao said.

Miao went to serve Su Shouzhi.

Although Lord Cui and Mrs. Cui felt sorry for Cui Miao, they did not dare to disobey the clan order. Therefore, after returning, they comforted the tearful Cui Miao. Lord Cui spoke first:

"Although you are Madam Ru, when Su Shouzhi ascends to the throne in the future, you will be the concubine, and your status will not be lower than that of the Queen. If you are confident and take the lead in giving birth to a child, you will not need to rely on others in your life."

Mrs. Cui gently stroked Cui Miao's hair, nodded and spoke softly:

"Xiao Yao's background is not as good as yours. She will have to deal with many girls from aristocratic families. She will be looked down upon in terms of etiquette and will not be able to cause trouble for you. Furthermore, she is a general. Although she will be valued, there are disadvantages.

The first one is that I have been fighting for many years, and my body has suffered many hidden injuries. It is still uncertain whether I can give birth to a child. If you give birth to a young man, the benefits will come later."

This is how many aristocratic families comforted the noble daughter who was chosen to serve Su Shouzhi - although Xiao Yao was the famous General Xiao, after she married Su Shouzhi and became the queen of the palace, she could not take care of the previous dynasty and could only have children.

She is almost at the same starting point as noble ladies, so there is no need to fear her at all.

In addition, Xiao Yao has been fighting for many years and has been physically injured, so the possibility of having children is very low. In this way, it is not certain who will choose between a noble daughter from one of the top ten aristocratic families and a queen who cannot have children. There are also aristocratic families and aristocratic families.

It's okay for the retainers to help in the past and suppress Xiao Yao in turn.

Xiao Yao, who was deemed by the major aristocratic families to pose no threat after the world was settled, was leading his army northward, and his first stop was Xingyang.

Along the way, when he met small families, Xiao Yao was not polite. He took money from those who deserved it, and took food and property from those who deserved it. He did not let any small family go.

Xiao Yao's move made many middle- and upper-class aristocratic families very worried and angry. They all wrote articles criticizing Xiao Yao and this behavior. They also described the positive significance of the aristocratic family to the world and the court, and then promoted the extraordinary woman Zheng Erniang who outsmarted the Xiao thief.

Come out and ask Mrs. Zheng to send a message to reprimand Xiao Yao.

After doing this, the aristocratic families secretly contacted Master Wang of the Wang family in Taiyuan and Master Cui of the Cui family in Qinghe, asking them when they would send the noble girls from each family to Su Shouzhi, and also asked them to persuade Su Shouzhi to restrain Xiao.

remote.

The aristocratic families believe that such a multi-pronged approach should be able to stop Xiao Yao from taking action against the aristocratic family.

Langzhu Cui and Langzhu Wang, with their heads as big as a bucket, rushed to persuade Su Shouzhi, but received a reply from Su Shouzhi that they were helpless.

Of course they didn't believe it, and they tried to persuade him for a long time to no avail, so they had to go back disappointed.

But as soon as they returned to the inn where they were staying, the two of them stood still and looked at each other. Lord Wang was the first to speak: "Su Shouzhi said that he could not restrain Xiao Yao, which was obviously a lie. But since he could restrain Xiao Yao, why couldn't he

Are you willing to restrain yourself and still lie to us?"

Master Cui Lang seemed to have figured out the reason, and said in a deep voice: "Su Shouzhi does not want to offend the family, and does not want to bear the rumors and corresponding criticism of killing the family." His voice became urgent, "It can also be inferred from this.

, Xiao Yao's status in Su Shouzhi's mind is just ordinary and not important."

Although Xiao Yao has a stunning appearance, she goes to the battlefield wearing a battle robe, just like a man, without the slightest grace of a girl. How could a hero like Su Shouzhi like her?

It was only because Xiao Yao had an army of 500,000 that Zuo Shouzhi was nice to her.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that their guess was correct. They immediately wrote letters to inform the major families of their guesses and inferences, asking them to prepare the dowry and send the noble daughter over at any time.

It goes without saying how happy the major aristocratic families were when they received the letter. Let’s talk about Xiao Yao. After gathering all the small aristocratic families, he continued to approach Xingyang.

One hundred and fifty miles away from Xingyang, they met the army led by Lin Nan.

The two armies had been exchanging news, and they had known for a long time that they would meet here, so when they met, they were not excited by the encounter.

But in other aspects, Lin Nan was still very excited.

She excitedly held Xiao Yao's hand, tried her best to lower her voice, and said: "General, the formula you gave is so powerful. I tried it with someone. Not only can it explode, but it is also more stable than Mrs. Zheng's! General,

How did you come up with the idea?"

Xiao Yao was so powerful that she couldn't help but suspect that she was her fellow villager.

Xiao Yao tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "When I saw the formula you gave me, I felt a little familiar, and some memories flashed through my mind, so I wrote it down." After a pause, he added, "The stability is better, yes

Is it because of the container?”

Lin Nan kept nodding his head: "Yes, it's because of the container. The container for gunpowder is so good!" He praised it gushingly for a long time, and then the conversation changed to Mrs. Zheng, who raised her eyebrows.

, said,

"Then Zheng Er, it pisses me off to death. She actually issued a text to reprimand you. What qualifications does she have? She obviously knows everything, is smart, and is willing to endure hardships, but she just doesn't have a clear head and just talks about the family.

Money and status are the result of ancestral struggle

Come here, we are not qualified to move, let alone take the wealth of the aristocratic family. That's all. She also blames the poor for being poor because they are not smart enough and they are not motivated enough. The most shameless thing is that she actually scolds you. You said

,How could there be such a person?"

Although Mrs. Zheng gave her a fake formula, she was mentally prepared, so she was not very angry. But she was really angry at Mrs. Zheng's words. In addition, all the way north, she heard that the world's scholars

People praised Zheng Er and stepped down on Xiao Yao, and even Zheng Er wrote a message to reprimand Xiao Yao. The anger in her heart that had not disappeared suddenly started to burn.

Xiao Yao frowned: "She actually said that the property of the aristocratic family is inviolable, and also scolded the poor for not racking their brains to make progress? Doesn't she know that no matter what family it is, once it buys the labor and time of ordinary people beyond a fair price, it is exploitation.

?And the property exploited can be taken by everyone in the world!"

"Oh, why didn't I think of refuting her like this at that time!" Lin Nan's face showed a look of realization, and he soon continued to scold Mrs. Zheng:

"It's so irritating that such a smart and clear person has such thoughts. I never dreamed that she would be like this. Although we don't say how great we are, our struggle has a goal. We hope that

Everyone in the world has food to eat. When I think about Zheng Er, I feel conflicted. I am so angry that I want to kill her, but I am reluctant to take her life."

Xiao Yao saw that she kept talking about Mrs. Zheng, so he said: "You are reluctant to kill her, but you can't be angry with her."

Lin Nan nodded: "That's right. I still want to take her as my own, but it's too difficult. A person's thoughts and opinions are the hardest to change." At the end of the sentence, he sighed.

Xiao Yao thought for a while and then laughed quickly: "This is not a problem. We are about to arrive in Xingyang. Outside Xingyang City, the army will not attack the city for the time being. I ask the family to send Mrs. Zheng over."

Lin Nan was surprised: "Is the family willing?"

Xiao Yao smiled slightly: "The people of the aristocratic family have Qiqiao exquisite hearts. They must have known it for a long time. If the second lady Zheng is given away, the war can be stopped and the family can be saved. Do you think they will give it away?"

Lin Nan was startled, then laughed: "I'll give it to you for sure! With me, Mrs. Zheng is no longer very important. Using her as a girl to stop the war is definitely a very good deal for the family."

As for doing this and losing the face of the wealthy family, that's not a problem at all. Just find any excuse to send Mrs. Zheng over.

If nothing else works, he can scold Xiao Yao angrily on the surface and send Mrs. Zheng over secretly, which will save his face.

Xiao Yao nodded and ordered everyone to call all the captains to continue practicing the plan to attack Xingyang and the means and strategies to deal with Su Shouzhi's attack.

The Xiao family, who were far away in Anyang, knew that General Xiao might rule the world and believed that Xiao Yao would be favored and his status would be different from before, so they went to the camp day after day to look for Xiao Yao.

Although they failed to get in every time and were ridiculed, they still insisted on looking for Xiao Yao.

Unfortunately, the Xiao family was having dinner at a small inn in the city that day. They met the scholar who had written a poem for them before. The scholar knew the purpose of their coming to Anyang, and their reputation was ruined in an instant - the scholar was really not a thing.

Everything they did and said was revealed.

What made the Xiao family extremely embarrassed and angry was that they were watched and saluted by countless people. Even when they left the inn, they could often hear the storyteller making sarcastic and belittling remarks about them.

Everyone in the town knew what the Xiao family had done, and every one of them scolded the Xiao family.

Although Mr. Xiao and his wife were very angry after being scolded, they still endured it. However, the insults and sarcasm followed them everywhere, which really challenged people's endurance skills. When the Xiao family couldn't bear it anymore, they almost quarreled with people in the town and stopped contacting Xiao Yao.

, they knew a very shocking news.

General Xiao, who destroyed the Jian'an Dynasty, held an army of 500,000, and was most likely to dominate the world, was actually a girl. Her true identity was the eldest daughter of the Boling Cui family!

It's just a pity that General Xiao was never recognized by the Boling Cui family because of his moral problems and poor character, and was eventually kicked out of the Cui family!
