Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 78
"Aye, this is the third brother-in-law Zhao Gui, and this is the fourth brother-in-law Zhou Xin, both from our hometown." Seeing the scarred faces and the two brothers-in-law standing aside, Luo Cheng hurriedly beckoned them to come forward.

The old man took a look at the two sons-in-law, and then stretched out his big palm like a cattail fan and slapped the two sons-in-law's shoulders a few times.

"Well, they're all pretty good. They're pretty strong, and they're tall."

"Aye!"

The two hurried forward to bow down.

"Get up, although you got married in a hurry, and I'm not at home. But since your mother-in-law agreed to this matter, it is considered to be the order of your parents after the matchmaker's words, and it is legal. I, Luo, gave birth Of the five daughters, two were married before, and the criteria for choosing a son-in-law are first, good health, second, hard work, and third, being able to take care of his wife and children."

"Yes, yes." Both of them nodded, standing there honestly.When suppressing bandits, that kind of desperate bravery was completely gone.

"Aye, when I married Sanniang, my family was poor, and I could only give five buckets of millet as gifts. Luckily, Sanniang didn't despise my poor family and was willing to marry me. When I got there, she took care of the family and served my mother. She was very virtuous. When Wu Lang came back last time, he specially sent ten pennies, saying it was for San Niang's dowry."

"Xiao Wu did the right thing." Old man Luo nodded. Although the Luo family was still not rich, he didn't want to treat his daughter badly.

"Aye, listen to me, my family really only had that kind of conditions before, and now I work as a helper with Goro, and last time I participated in the suppression of bandits and chaos with Xiaowu, and I made some contributions with Zhanguang and received a lot of rewards. There are three Ten coins and thirty bolts of silk, and thirty acres of land, I would like to give thirty coins and thirty bolts of silk as a gift to San Niang."

"Aye, I'm also willing to give thirty pieces of money and thirty bolts of silk as gifts to Si Niang." Seeing this, Zhou Xin quickly expressed his opinion.

Father Luo chuckled.

"Are you really willing?"

"There's nothing to be reluctant about, it's what it should be."

Father Luo put away his smile and looked at the two sons-in-law with admiration.After he came back before, he heard his wife say that when the family was in trouble, he had to marry off his two daughters, just because of that bucket of millet. After hearing this, he lost his temper.

Later, I heard that although the two sons-in-law were poor, they were not bad, and they treated their daughter well after marriage, so they slowly calmed down.After hearing that Luo Wude came back with a reward, a sister gave him ten dowries and praised the son very much.

Now seeing that the two sons-in-law actually took out all the thirty pennies of reward money and silk to make up for the gift, to be honest, he was really surprised and happy.

He is not happy about the money, he is not a greedy person, money is a dead thing, enough is enough.What pleased him was the attitude shown by the two sons-in-law.

"San Niang and Si Niang really chose the right husband and son-in-law. I accept this kind of intention, but I can't accept the money. Man said that now Xiao Wu Xiao Liu and the others are promising, and the family conditions are better. That's it. Without this condition, I can't charge you so much, I'm marrying my daughter, not selling my daughter."

"Aye, this is our intention."

"Aye, why don't you just charge them ten coins and silk, and then our family will hold a grand and formal wedding for the third and fourth sisters, and send the money and silk as a dowry to the two families during the wedding, how about it?" Luo Luo into a proposal.

In this way, there is both face and lizi.

"Well, yes." Father Luo thought for a while and felt that the fifth son's idea was good.

The fourth child saw that his father was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say, "Father, I want to marry the third daughter of Butcher Liu from Kaoshan Village."

"Butcher Liu's daughter?" Father's face darkened, "No."

"What?"

"Your father and I fought with Butcher Liu before. We are enemies. You cannot marry his daughter."

Facing this reason, Luo Laosi couldn't laugh or cry, "Which year did this happen, do you still remember?"

"Anyway, there is no discussion on this matter. If you want to marry a wife, your mother and I will find a matchmaker to find you a good woman."

Luo Cheng and the others brought back a lot of money and silk, as well as a lot of food, meat and vegetables bought in the county.

The atmosphere at home was more joyful, and Du Fuwei's mother recovered from her illness, and took Du Xiaomei to help cut the mutton.These days, I send it to the Luo family. Although the Luo family is good, I feel a little sorry.Now that Du Fuwei bought two sheep and came back, this meal is equivalent to being invited by Du Fuwei, so the two women did not feel that their voices were a little louder when they were chopping vegetables.

There is a feeling of exasperation.

A sheep has been chopped into large pieces in the county town, and now the women cut it into fine pieces, and slaughter and cut the chicken, duck and fish bought in the county together, which is very lively.

While Luo's mother was busy directing, she still didn't forget to scold Luo Cheng and the others for being too extravagant.

"It's not just passing the day. If you have money, you spend a lot of money. You don't know how to save some money. How much should you spend on buying so many dishes?"

"Sister-in-law, the children are happy that they won the reward, you just let them do it this time." Mother Du said with a smile.

The women were busy cutting and washing vegetables, while the men were sitting in the yard chatting.

The old man Luo said that he and his boss had made ordnance in Zhuojun, "We are really going to fight. This time it must be a big battle. You don't know how many people are making ordnance in Zhuojun, and all kinds of ordnance are piled up. Like a mountain, it is filled with one bank after another..."

"We will continue to build it next year. It is said that we will prepare 100 million military ordnance." The dull boss Luo Jizu said.

"Ordnance for a million troops? Goguryeo, it takes so many troops?" the fourth child shouted.He followed the bandits this time and fought a few battles, but every time it was not on the scale of two or thirty people, or on the scale of several hundred people. In his eyes, the time when six hundred county soldiers surrounded Qingyang Villa was already a big battle. Great battle.

100 million people?He couldn't imagine, how many people would there be, and how would this battle be fought?How can there be such a big battlefield, and the shop can't accommodate so many people.

"Your third brother came back from Denglai. He built ships there. It is said that he built hundreds of warships and recruited thousands of sailors from the Jianghuai River to train there. When the big battle starts, the imperial court will send ten Master Wanshui crossed the sea to conquer Goguryeo."

"Cross-sea expedition?"

A group of people were there in amazement.

Only Luo Cheng sat there quietly. He knew that these legends were true. It was the autumn of the fifth year of Daye, and the Eastern Expedition would start in the seventh year of Daye. At that time, millions of troops would be sent, and they would advance by land and water.

"It's good for you to be a fast catcher. If you are a fast catcher, you don't have to go to war." Father Luo said.

"Father, what's wrong with fighting? We can make meritorious service. We have won so many rewards for destroying a group of small rebels this time. If we can participate in the war and destroy Goguryeo, how many rewards will we get? Maybe we will be able to do so by then." Be an officer."

Old man Luo slapped the fourth child directly on the face, "Shut up! Fight a war, fight a war, and you will die. You are young, and you haven't even married a wife or had children. You just want to fight, you stupid account!"

The fourth child was taken aback, his face was hot and painful, and he didn't know why his father suddenly became so angry.When he came back from suppressing the bandits, he didn't see that his father had such a big opinion?How can you be so arrogant when you say that you joined the army to fight against Goguryeo?
