Chapter 22 Jade Pendant

Zhao Shouting was a pure soldier and had no thoughts on many things. According to his thinking, he was sent by the emperor to suppress bandits, so he just wanted to suppress bandits. As for the rebellion of bandits, he should be handed over to the government office to deal with it.

So when facing the Sun family, he did not take the initiative, but instead handed over the evidence.

This personality is also reflected in other aspects, such as purifying fine salt. He knew it was a profitable business, but did not seek personal gain. Instead, he reported it to the court without hesitation. He even forbidden to sell the fine salt made in the military camp and stored it all for self-eating.

Such a general is simply a role model in the book.

Of course, from another perspective, everything he does can also be understood as being cautious in case someone else catches the handle.

The autumn wind gradually rose, the leaves fell, and the hot temperature began to drop, which also led to the decrease in demand for ice. At Xu Yan's suggestion, Manager Wu started a big sale mode, and the ice was sold at a price of jumping from the property. In conjunction with the exclusive secret cold drink, it cost two cents a cup, and soon swept the streets and alleys.

Nowadays, in Lin'an City, you can see people holding a teacup and drinking herbal tea in just a few steps, which has become a novel scene.

Without the order, the army could only stay outside the city to train troops, run and exercise every day, and they were all tanned.

Xu Yan was naturally not among them. In recent days, he was often invited to visit Zhao's mansion. When he met Zhao Ruxuan in Qianfo Temple, he was caught. He thought the marriage would fail, and even beat him up was inevitable. Who knew that nothing happened in the end.

According to Zhao Chenghuai, the general's wife was not angry, but she could not see the happiness. As for the marriage, she did not mention it again.

Yin Shenglong and the others unanimously felt that the general's wife recognized him, and that he and Zhao Ruxuan were about to have a good relationship.

Zhao Shouting's attitude towards him also indirectly confirmed this. Every time he looked at him with his father-in-law's eyes, Xu Yan felt uncomfortable. He gave him the jade pendant not long ago, and emphasized that this was the Zhao family's heirloom.

He only has one daughter under his knees. As the saying goes, a son-in-law can be half a child. Now he passes the jade pendant to Xu Yan, and the meaning of it is self-evident.

The jade pendant is equivalent to the token of engagement!

Xu Yan held it in his hand and was shocked. When he recalled his idea of ​​playing this jade pendant repeatedly, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Is this considered a self-invested trap?

It was probably at that time that Zhao Shouting had the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law!

But what made Xu Yan puzzled was how could Zhao Ruxuan agree?

They had never even met each other several times, and had misunderstandings, what attracted her to them?

Is it the protagonist's halo?

Xu Yan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only attribute it to the little girl's simple and ignorant heart!

As for Xu Yan himself, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. The daughter of the grand general's family, marrying him, a poor and careless boy, is definitely a marriage. In modern times, the daughter of the military commander married a poor loser without a car or a house. Ordinary people dare not think about it, let alone the girl is pretty and has a first-class temper and personality. When encountering such a thing, just have to have fun secretly!

So after experiencing the initial surprise and surprise, Xu Yan adjusted his mindset and accepted this fact.

Sometimes I made some pastries to the mansion, wanting to meet Zhao Ruxuan and cultivate feelings, but I never saw them once. The things were handed over by her personal maid Xiaolan. However, the Legend of the White Snake that I talked about last time was not finished. Zhao Ruxuan asked Xiaolan to ask about the ending, and Xu Yan wrote the rest of the story on paper and asked Zhao Chenghuai to hand it over to her.

This writing was out of control. After the White Snake Legend was finished, there was also a record of the West Chamber. After the West Chamber was finished, you can also talk about the Peony Pavilion.

To coax girls, you have to meet their preferences. Xu Yan has now racked his brains to recall the Golden Hairpin Story, and he can barely read it.

In addition to telling stories, Xu Yan would also chat with her, write some brain teasers to make her guess and make her happy!

In ancient times, there was a flying swallow's love, but we didn't have the conditions, so we could only write letters and rumors!

Alas, I miss the days when I’m on my phone QQ WeChat!

——

The three major irons in life, we have carried guns together, passed the window together, and passed the room together... Well, we have divided the stolen goods together.

Although Yin Shenglong, Zhao Chenghuai and Pang Hu have different backgrounds, they have already become brothers of life and death together in the battlefield over the years. So they are sorted according to their age. This is why Hu Zi often calls his second and third brothers.

As for the three elder brother Hong Tao, he unfortunately died in the battle in the early years!

Speaking of this, we have to mention a grudge. When Zhao Shouting guarded the southern border and resisted the plunder of the Qiang people, Han Bingye, the uncle of the country, came from Chang'an to gilt and was responsible for escorting food and grass.

Because of his noble status, Zhao Shouting specially sent a side general Hong Tao to escort him. When the food and grass were sent to a place called Hu Jiachuan, the Qiang people suddenly appeared and attacked from all directions. Hong Tao was not panicked, but calmly consolidated the army to meet the enemy. After a fierce battle, they forced their repelled the Qiang people and won the victory. At this time, they should have rushed back to the camp, but Han Bingye was greedy for merit and made a rash progress. He threw away the grain and carriage, and took his own people to chase the fleeing Qiang people, but was ambushed and wiped out the entire army.

Hong Tao died in a fierce battle to save him, and Han Bingye fled in panic and returned to the camp with a few personal guards.

This incident made Zhao Shouting particularly angry. He was about to behead him according to military law, but was dissuaded by other officers. He wrote a stamp and handed it to the emperor. He had to scold him a few words and pressed the matter.

Han Bingye therefore made a feud with Zhao Shouting. After pacifying southern Xinjiang, he was granted the title of Duke of Xin and returned to the court in a swagger. However, Zhao Shouting, the main general, was framed. Not to mention the credit, he did not even work hard. He was often suppressed in the next few years.

These things were told by Zhao Chenghuai. After Xu Yan entered the military camp, the four of them gradually became familiar with each other. In addition, he was Zhao Chenghuai's prospective brother-in-law, so he followed Hu Zi and called him the second and third brothers.

As for the fourth brother Huzi, Xu Yan couldn't call him anyway.

Although this guy is big and thick and has a fat face, he is actually less than twenty years old, he is just a little anxious.

On this day, the bored few people went to hunt in the mountains. It was the season for wild animals to gain weight. The flesh was plump and tender, so I drooled when I thought about it.
