Returning from Ping'en County to Ye County, the New Year has passed, and it is already the second year of Chuping.

After Wang Lei finished handling the affairs in the army, as soon as he stepped into the gate, the little girl Guo Yu rushed up to meet her, with a sweet smile on her face, and said, "Master, the old man invites you to go."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Wang Lei nodded in response, and went straight to the backyard where the old man lived.

In the room, the old man was reading a book.

Wang Lei said with a smile, "Master, I'm back."

"sit!"

The old man has a ruddy complexion and a hale and hearty spirit.When he was in Ye County, the old man was energetic, but his body was not good, he was very thin, which made him feel like he was late at sunset.After going to Wuji County, he recuperated slowly, and his body became stronger and stronger. In addition, the old man often practiced martial arts, so he was in good health.Up to now, it has undergone earth-shaking changes from the previous appearance.

The old man put down the bamboo slips and said, "I came to discuss marriage with you."

Wang Lei was very surprised and asked, "Is it in such a hurry?"

The old man immediately put on a straight face, and said angrily: "Of course I'm already half-buried, I'm anxious. I'm anxious, but your subordinates are not anxious. They won't let the old man hold his great-grandson."

"what happened?"

Wang Lei was confused, how did the marriage get involved with officials?

The old man looked fierce, and said: "The old man and Mrs. Han discussed the matter of your marriage with Meng Yu. The time is set on the fifth day of March, which is a good day. The news was not intended to be concealed, and it spread quickly. That boy Tian Feng After hearing this, they ran to say that Han Fu passed away, and Meng Yu had to observe mourning for three years."

"Three years, I don't know if I can live another three years."

"According to Tian Feng, Meng Yu can't get married during this period. She has to wait until the three-year period expires before she can marry you. Tell me, it's just a dead person. How normal is it? Is it necessary?"

"If the old man dies one day, what should you do, don't delay."

The old man spattered and scolded Tian Feng non-stop, with an expression of wishing he could swallow Tian Feng alive.

After hearing this, Wang Lei finally understood the whole story.

After Han Fu's death, Han Mengyu should observe three years of filial piety. Of course, many people don't necessarily observe three years of filial piety, just a thought.However, Wang Lei understood the reason Tian Feng proposed. Wang Lei is a Jizhou shepherd with a prominent official position. If he keeps his filial piety for three years, he can gain a good reputation.In addition, postponing the marriage can also allow Wang Lei to avoid the attack of public opinion, so as to prevent Wang Lei from being criticized.

Wang Lei thought for a while and said, "Old man, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle. Han Fu just passed away, and getting married at this time will have a certain impact on Meng Yu and me."

"Then what should we do? As soon as the old man is old, he wants to watch you get married."

The old man had a straight face, looking unhappy.

Wang Lei quickly accompanied the smiling face, held the old man's skinny hand, and flattered him: "The old man is in good health, and there will be no problem in living another ten or twenty years. Three years, it will pass in a flash."

The old man snorted and said, "I'm not an old monster. What are you doing for such a long time?"

Wang Lei said: "People often say that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure. Only when you live to be a hundred years old can you remind me from time to time so that I don't go astray. With you, I feel at ease."

"Am I so useful?" The old man stroked his beard, quite pleased with himself.

Wang Lei said with certainty: "Yes, of course!"

The old man smiled embarrassingly, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, when you get married, you can decide for yourself. I can delay it here, but Mrs. Han is different. After Han Fu passed away, Mrs. Han is worried that you will turn your face. I am eager to marry my daughter to you. Mrs. Han is very dissatisfied with that boy Tian Feng standing up to obstruct him."

Wang Lei patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

The old man nodded and told Wang Lei to leave.

Wang Lei asked the old man to pay attention to his health before turning around and leaving.As soon as he walked to the door, the old man suddenly said: "Tiger head, are you free recently?"

"Yes, what's the matter with you?" Wang Lei replied.

In fact, the war in Jizhou has just ended, and there are many things to deal with, but the old man opened his mouth, and Wang Lei couldn't dampen the old man's interest anyway.

The old man said: "Get ready and go out with me in a month."

"it is good!"

Wang Lei nodded, turned and left.

One month is enough for Wang Lei to arrange things in Jizhou.After leaving the courtyard, Wang Lei walked towards the courtyard where Mrs. Han lived.When he came outside the courtyard, Wang Lei asked his attendants to report that he saw Mrs. Han in the courtyard.Compared with when Wang Lei left Ye County with the army, Han Shiqing was much lighter, and there was faint worry in his eyes.

"sit!"

As soon as Han waved his hand, Wang Lei sat down.

Wang Lei said: "Madam, I heard from the old man that the matter of marriage..."

Han's heart was anxious, and interrupted: "Could it be that you don't plan to get married?" Han was like a frightened bird, worried that after Wang Lei consolidated his power, he kicked their three mothers away.

Wang Lei shook his head and said: "I will never go back on what I said. I promised my father-in-law to take care of you, and I will be responsible to the end. I will keep in mind the matter of Xiaopang, Meng Yu and my marriage, and taking care of you. Mr. Tian In principle, I agree with the suggestion that three years of filial piety will pass in a flash. It has been half a year since my father-in-law passed away, and the remaining time is not long."

Han was worried, and said, "What if you have another woman?"

Wang Lei replied: "Madam don't worry, you can get engaged first. In name, even if Meng Yu is already married to me, she will appear as my wife. What do you think if I make up the wedding after the three-year filial piety period expires?"

"Mom, I trust him."

A crisp and pleasant voice came from the room.

Han Mengyu Shi Shiran walked out. She also lost a lot of weight. When she looked at Wang Lei, her eyes were firm.

Han said: "Damn girl, don't interrupt your mother."

Han Mengyu insisted: "Mother, I decide on my own marriage."

"You..." Han Shi pointed at Han Mengyu, trembling with anger.Finally, Mrs. Han glanced at Wang Lei, and said helplessly, "I hope you don't let Yu'er down. I agree to the three-year filial piety."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Wang Lei bowed his hands to thank, and the Han family went back to the house, leaving Wang Lei and Han Mengyu behind.

"Let's go for a walk!"

Wang Lei took Han Mengyu's hand and walked out of the yard together.Seeing that Han Mengyu was not in high spirits, Wang Lei changed his mind and said, "After a month, the old man wants me to go out with him. When the time comes, you and I can go and relax together."

"Really?" A look of joy appeared on Han Mengyu's face.

After Han Fu's death, Han Mengyu stayed at the house all the time, and his life was not comfortable.That's why Wang Lei moved his mind.Wang Lei squeezed Han Mengyu's hand, nodded and said, "When the time comes, I'll take you for a walk."

"Uh-huh!!"

Han Mengyu nodded with a smile on his face.
