Chapter 74

The sky is high and cloudy.

The streets are full of traffic.

Went for less than half an hour.

Xu Da's home has arrived.

There were few guests, and if it wasn't for the word "囍" pasted on the door, it would be hard to imagine that this family was having a happy event.

Ma Xiuying looked at Cheng De and said, "Right now, famine is raging everywhere. How about our wedding be as simple and plain as Xu Da's."

Cheng De stared at Ma Xiuying for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Will this wrong sister Xiuying?"

Ma Xiuying showed a smile, "As long as the general has me in mind, this form of marriage is just a formality for me, and it doesn't matter."

Cheng De smiled wryly, looked at Ma Xiuying's sincere eyes, and said helplessly: "Look at you, if I disagree, you won't be happy. I really don't know what to say to you. "

Ma Xiuying gave Cheng De a blank look, "It's good for the general to know. What kind of temperament am I? After so long, the general should have almost understood it. I don't like luxury. Besides, the current situation is difficult and the world is difficult. What I wear The soldiers used their lives on the battlefield, and I didn’t do anything, but enjoyed these things, and I feel ashamed.”

After hearing this, Cheng De looked at Ma Xiuying in a daze, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiuying is really different from ordinary women. But, I like it! Since sister Xiuying said so, then everything is up to you!"

Ma Xiuying nodded: "Yes. Then let's go in now!"

When Cheng De and his party came to the door, the greeters saw dozens of Sizhou Army soldiers behind Cheng De, so they guessed that Cheng De and his party were of extraordinary status, so they hurried forward, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "I don't know how many of them are—"

Cheng De smiled: "You call General Zhenglu and bring your fiancée Ma Shi to ask for a wedding wine!"

When the welcome person heard this, he was shocked, and quickly bowed to Cheng De again, "I pay my respects to the general!"

"Don't be too polite, you can continue!" Cheng De waved his hand.

At the same time, Cheng De turned his eyes to the dozens of soldiers behind him, "You are guarding outside."

"Yes." All the soldiers responded.

Just as Cheng De took Ma Xiuying and Xu Sima across the threshold, the welcome person shouted loudly: "General Zhenglu, bring the general's wife to congratulate you."

For a moment, the lively scene of the Xu family became quiet.

At this time, Cheng De had just stepped through the gate and entered the courtyard.

There are twelve tables of banquets in the courtyard.

As for the people attending the banquet, when they saw Cheng De, they quickly got up, put down their bowls and chopsticks, bowed to Cheng De and said, "Greetings, General!"

Cheng De smiled and waved his hands and said: "You don't need to be too polite, you go on, you should eat and drink, today is Xu Da's great joy, I just came to ask for a glass of wedding wine and drink, to join in the fun. Don't be restrained."

Hearing Cheng De's words, everyone felt relieved.

Soon, the lively scene resumed at the banquet.

At this time, Xu Da's father, Xu Liusi, came up to greet him, and when he saw Cheng De, he wanted to salute.

But Cheng De helped him in time.

"Today, the general is able to attend my son's wedding. It's really a blessing for my life, and I'm full of glory." Xu Liusi said with a respectful look, smiling.

Cheng De glanced at Xu Liusi in surprise, and immediately replied: "Uncle Xu, you are joking. If Uncle Xu is busy, go and entertain other guests. As for me, I can sit anywhere."

When Xu Liusi was about to say something, Cheng De was the first to hold Ma Xiuying with one hand and Xu Sima with the other, and sat down at the wine table beside him.

Seeing this, Xu Liusi shook his head helplessly and went to greet other guests.

But the other people at the wine table where Cheng De was sitting had unnatural expressions on their faces, appearing very restrained.

They were all Xu Da's relatives and friends, so they had heard of the name of General Zhenglu of the Sizhou Army, and they wanted to talk face-to-face with General Zhenglu about world affairs.

Now that Cheng De himself is sitting in front of them, they feel a little intimidated.

After Cheng De glanced at it, he said softly: "You don't have to be like this, just treat me as an ordinary guest. Come as you want, don't worry about me."

Although Cheng De said this, he felt that the effect was not very good.

The faces of the others were still restrained, and they glanced in Cheng De's direction from time to time.

Therefore, Cheng De stopped paying attention to them, but looked at Ma Xiuying, "Sister Xiuying, how many banquets do you think we will have when we get married?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ma Xiuying's ears turned red, and she gave Cheng De a blank look.

This scene made the other guests at the same table lower their heads, not daring to look more.

Cheng De seemed to realize something, so he smiled and said, "It's me, Meng Lang, don't mind, sister Xiuying."

Ma Xiuying said softly, "Eat something to shut your mouth."

As she said that, Ma Xiuying moved her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into Cheng De's mouth.

Cheng De subconsciously chewed the meat and looked at Ma Xiuying helplessly.

Seeing this, the other guests at the same table all found reasons to say that they were going to help with the toast, so they wouldn't be here as a companion, and so on.

Seeing this, Cheng De had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The other guests, as if they were pardoned, found a table of banquets one after another and had a good drink.

It didn't take long.

Xu Da came back, and Xu Da, who had changed into a red wedding robe again, came to Cheng De.

When Cheng De saw what Xu Da was about to say, he was stopped in time by his eyes.

"Today is your big day, so we won't talk about business. Let other things go first. I'll give you three days off. We'll talk about business in three days." Cheng De said with a smile.

Xu Da smiled bitterly and said: "Yes. General, because Mu Ying is exhausted, his subordinates have sent someone to send him to the General's Mansion to rest."

Cheng De nodded: "Yes. Today is your day of great joy. Let me toast you a few glasses."

While Cheng De was talking, Ma Xiuying silently filled the wine glass in front of Cheng De.

Xu Da hurriedly took a wine glass from the table, while Ma Xiuying was holding a wine jug and pouring wine into the wine glass.

Xu Da bowed, holding the wine glass with both hands, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, madam."

But Ma Xiuying replied: "From now on, let my younger sister go to the general's mansion more often. The two of us hit it off right away, and we can't finish talking about each other. This younger sister is forthright, straightforward, kind and down-to-earth, and even more diligent and thrifty in managing the family. I From the general, I often hear him repeating your name Xu Da repeatedly, and he often praises you as a capable person in front of me. I think that my sister is a match made in heaven with you Xu Da. You can treat your sister well in the future. Don't let down my sister's deep friendship with you. Here I wish you an early son, and the two of you will grow old together."

After hearing this, Xu Da was filled with gratitude to Cheng De and Ma Xiuying, and hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Xie, I, Xu Da, will definitely treat Yan'er well and never let her down."

Ma Xiuying nodded and silently stepped aside.

Holding the wine glass, Cheng De looked at Xu Da and said, "Just take what Miss Xiuying said just now, and take it to heart. Besides, I wish the two of you to have a son early, to support each other for the rest of your life, and grow old together."

Xu Da's eyes were a little more moved, and he nodded: "Thank you, General, for your congratulations, and General Xu Da respects you."

"Do it!" Cheng De replied holding his wine glass.

After the wine glasses collided with each other, both Xu Da and Cheng De drank in one gulp.

Immediately, the two talked and drank a few more drinks one after another.

Afterwards, under Ma Xiuying's secret reminder, Cheng De looked at Xu Da and said, "I drank today's wine very happily. You don't have to stay here with me, you go and accompany them!"

Xu Da hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes."

Afterwards, Xu Da held a jug and toasted the guests table by table.

Cheng De, Ma Xiuying, and Xu Sima all feasted on it.

It took half an hour for this meal.

Half an hour later, the three of Cheng De were sent to the door by Xu Da himself.

After Cheng De had a brief chat with Xu Da, he left in a hurry and returned to the General's Mansion with a group of people.
