Chapter 979: Taking advantage of the situation
Fang Chuning was enjoying herself in Zhuangzi and didn't miss Shu. When Mrs. Fang wrote the letter, Xie Jue was also there. This matter was actually easy to handle. Xie Jue also felt that they had lived in Zhuangzi for a long time and it was almost the end of the year, so they really should go home. This year, he couldn't let Mingzhu face human relationships alone in Beijing, so the two of them set off back to Beijing.

There are a lot of wild goods in the mountains. Xie Jue and Fang Chuning both prepared a lot of dry goods for their respective houses. They went home separately when they were at the city gate. If Xie Jue wanted to visit Fang's house before the year, he had to send a solemn greeting letter first. , wait for the Fang family to reply before coming to the door, don't lose etiquette. No matter how free and uninhibited Fang Chuning is, she still cares about this matter. If her parents agree to Xie Jue's visit, it proves that they at least turn a blind eye and will not object forcefully.

Fang Chuning can indeed do what Mrs. Li Er asked for, but she may have to slightly wrong her girl to marry a military commander and live with the army in Zhongzhou. Mother and daughter will be separated and not see each other for several years. Most of the legitimate daughters raised by the Jingzhong clan are married to the Jingzhong clan and rarely marry outside the family, unless the natal family is particularly wealthy and marries the daughter back to her natal family.

Mrs. Li Er was mentally prepared when she asked Fang Chuning to take the lead. Fang Chuning was her girl's cousin. Although he was not particularly close, he would never harm her noble daughter. Mrs. Li Er is a very sensible person. Although she has been married to the Li family for many years, due to the complicated relationship between the two families, she trusts her brother and sister-in-law more than her husband-in-law and mother-in-law. After mother-in-law and husband-in-law agreed to sacrifice their daughter, Mrs. Li became more resentful and could not possibly comply with their wishes.

A few years earlier, Fang Chuning would have suggested that his cousin marry Zhou Buyan, who had been his lieutenant since he was a child. Now he is a fourth-rank military general. He has followed him in battles in the north and south. He has a good character, a cheerful temperament, a good family background, and a clean house. . It's just that Zhou Buyan had already agreed to get married, and Fang Chuning selected several reliable generals from them. They were of slightly lower status but with excellent prospects, some from Ningzhou and some from Zhongzhou.

Mrs. Li Er considered and sought Fang Chuning's advice and appointed a young general named Chen for her girl. Now in the Ningzhou Army, he is a direct descendant of Xie Xun and is under the command of Cui Lansong. After Mrs. Li Er agreed, Fang Chuning wrote to someone and quickly finalized the marriage. Although this young general was in Ningzhou and his home was in Liuzhou, it was the New Year now and generals from all over the country were taking turns to take a break. At that time, the matter was settled quickly.

Xie Xun was very happy to accomplish this, and in order to appear less special and avoid other people's comments, he also specially ordered a viewing banquet for young generals from all over the country, and invited all the unmarried young generals to the capital. Feng Yu Come forward to see the girls for them. If there are any marriageable women among the civil and military officials who are interested in looking for a husband, they can come to see them.

This event was very lively and grand. The new dynasty was different from the Yuwen dynasty. Xie Xun was a military general and the Ningzhou general was a direct descendant. There was no sign that the previous dynasty valued civility over military affairs. The military commanders of the Northern Ning Dynasty were obviously more powerful and powerful. Many clan wives were willing to marry the military commanders. They became more than a dozen couples at one time, which also solved the marriage problems of a group of military commanders. Xie Xun issued more than a dozen marriage proposals in one breath. According to the imperial edict, everyone was given dignity, including the girl who was the second wife of the Li family.

It is a supreme honor to receive the imperial edict of marriage. There is nothing the Li family can do about it. Even though they know it is Mrs. Li's idea, they have no other choice, so the matter is settled.

At first, Xie Jue only thought that Xie Xun was fooling around, but after the matter was settled, his opinions changed. The two legitimate daughters of the Zhang family and the Cai family both married military generals, and they were all selected husbands from this group of lovers. Although their official positions are not high, they are very satisfied with this marriage. This broke the custom of most of the clan's legitimate daughters marrying civil servants. Moreover, since the New Deal, the status of military households has been greatly improved. Even the children of the clan have set an example, and the same is naturally true for the people. This has a very profound impact on the stability of the court and breaks the prejudices and shackles of civil servants against military officers.

Xie Xun didn't dare to take credit. This was Feng Yu's idea. At first, Feng Yu didn't want Xie Xun to be criticized for issuing an unexpected order. The purpose of holding this match was to set a stage for the girls of the Li family, but she didn't expect it to work. It was so successful, and several ladies later came to beg Feng Yu to hold another one. The emperor and empress gave him enough dignity, who wouldn't want such an honor. Xie Jue thought to himself that Zhixu really saved the world in his previous life, and he had such a virtuous wife in this life. From the time he and Fengyu met, apart from the first accident that caused him the pain of breaking his leg, Fengyu had brought Zhixu everything. Fortunately, without Feng Yu, the brothers would have never been able to conquer the world, and they would have been defeated early due to problems with food, rice and baggage.

"Second brother, I'm asking you, when are you going to pay your respects to the Fang family? If you really can't save face, you can call them into the palace. We will support you."

Xie Jue, "...No need to!"

Under Feng Yu's influence, Xie Xun also accepted this matter. His mentality was different, his mood was different, he was just watching the show, "The handsome man has such a bad temper, what if he makes things difficult for you? At least he will restrain himself after entering the palace, Mrs. Fang I also have a good relationship with Ayu, and I can mediate between them. We will be a family from now on, and we will sit together and have meals together sooner or later."

"Are you so eager to watch the show?"

"Second brother, don't tell me when you see through it." Xie Xun was so shameless.

Xie Jue ignored him and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say when you summoned the commander into the palace that day? Let me ask another question, what did you promise?"

"I didn't promise anything, I just wanted to talk to him. Second brother, trust me!" Xie Xun looked upright, "I am not the kind of emperor who bullies others."

Xie Jue, "..."
