Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 278 The Big Day (4K)

From now on, the Helan tribe will settle down in the Houtao Grassland, living next to Liu Wuhuan's Xiongnu Zuoxianwang tribe.

As they belong to two different ethnic groups, there will inevitably be friction in getting along in the future. After all, brothers Murong Tuyuhun and Murong Xin also turned against each other because of herdsmen competing for water and grass.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select the official who is stationed here to mediate the conflicts between the two parties.

Officials stationed in Houtao Grassland must be chosen carefully.

Ren Qun was a native of Xihe County in Bingzhou. Huanxi invaded Bingzhou and captured Puban, causing shock in Hedong.

At that time, Bingzhou was still controlled by Zhang Ping, but Huanxi finally stopped at Gaoyuan in Fennan, which disappointed the Bingzhou scholars.

Just like in the original time and space, Huan Wen attacked the former Qin Dynasty and asked Wang Meng: I was ordered to fight against thieves. I have always heard that there are many heroes in Guanzhong, but now no one agrees with me. Why is this?

Wang Meng replied: You have come thousands of miles away, but Chang'an is very close, but you stopped at Bashang. The heroes in Guanzhong do not know your intention, so they refuse to come.

Of course, not everyone defected to Huan Xi, and Ren Qun was one of them.

This is all due to what her mother said to her last night.

Therefore, the actual control of the Helan Department must be held by He Laitou.

But it was precisely because the matter was difficult to handle that Huan Xi took the matter so seriously and gave Ren Qun face-to-face instructions.

Huan Xi was wearing a red dress. There was no doubt that today was his special day.

Naturally, there is a wedding ceremony for taking a concubine, but the ceremony is different from that of marrying a wife. They do not worship heaven and earth, nor their parents, but only kowtow to the legitimate wife and serve tea.

After the ceremony was completed, He Muluo was sent to the new tent, but Huan Xi did not accompany him. Instead, he stayed outside the tent to drink with everyone.

As the night got darker, He Muluo sat alone in the new tent, feeling nervous, a little scared and longing.

This also destined that Huan Xi would not be able to move the He family to Chang'an en masse, just like he did with the Qifu family and the Qianliang Zhang family.

Now that Xie Daoyun was far away in Chang'an, he naturally couldn't drink this bowl of tea, but Huan Xi couldn't let Murong Ying Yue take over for him.

In the handsome tent, Huan Xi looked at Ren Qun and warned:

He's mother knew that her daughter was untouched and was worried that she would make a joke when she slept with Huan Xi, so she told He Muluo some things about men and women.

"Ren can join the army. I will keep you here. I hope you can be impartial when handling conflicts between the two parties.

Ren Qun was also helpless. Huan Xi had chosen him specifically, so he couldn't give up.

If this matter is reported back to Guanzhong, no matter how broad-minded Xie Daoyun is, he will not give up with Huan Xi.

Today, the things her mother said about men and women still linger in her mind, and she can't get rid of them for a long time.

Huan Xi said it lightly, but usually the situation is that the public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right. Each has its own opinion and is difficult to be persuaded.

The only requirement is that when dealing with the conflict between the Helan tribe and the Xiongnu Zuoxian King tribe, one must be careful not to cause a big mess, and the loyal and cautious Ren Qun is the most suitable candidate.

"Everything starts from one principle. Remember, remember!"

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, white clothes were advocated, so white clothes were naturally used as wedding dresses.

However, just because Huan Xi gave him face and called him his father-in-law did not mean that the couple could ride on him and teach him how to do things as elders.

In fact, He's mother also knew that her daughter was still young and should not have sex with a man so early.

The Helan tribe was different from the Qifu tribe. They were not conquered by Huan Xi by force, but actively surrendered under the leadership of He Laitou.

It's not like Huan Xi couldn't forcefully deprive He Laitou of his power, but He Laitou was a member of the whole family, and was suddenly ignored by Huan Xi. Once this happened, Huan Xi's reputation would be ruined, and no one would dare to join him in the future. .

He Muluo bowed as he was told, kowtowed three times in the direction of Chang'an City, and then stood up amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Huan Xi nodded slightly and wanted to say something more, but Murong Ying had already arrived outside the tent.

In fact, Huan Xi had no expectations for today's big day.

After all, when you marry a girl at such a young age, you can't touch her and you can only watch. There is no expectation at all.

While He Muluo was thinking wildly, Huan Xi had already become a puddle of drunken mud and had to be helped to even walk.

Just thinking about it makes my face feel hot.

The two of them stood together, not like a newlywed couple, but more like a father and daughter.

Huan Xi looked at He Muluo, who was wearing green clothes, and felt really bad. He was tall and thin, about 1.8 meters tall, and He Muluo, who was standing next to him, was only eleven or twelve years old and older than him. Too much shorter, only reaching his waist.

He Laitou watched Huan Xi being sent to the commander's tent by Murong Ying instead of the new tent where He Muluo was, and sighed:

"You can't favor Liu Wuhuan because he has been with me for many years, nor can you please He Laitou because he is my father-in-law.

Huan Xi sighed secretly and said:
"You face south and kowtow three times."

Therefore, the officials stationed in the Houtao Grassland do not need to have outstanding abilities. After all, both Liu Wuhuan and He Laitou have actual control over their tribes, and Liang officials cannot get involved in the internal affairs of their tribes.

Of course, He Muluo didn't know anything about He's mother's thoughts.

"I sincerely follow the teachings of Duke Liang."

But now Huanxi is in the Hetao area, surrounded by mostly foreign ethnic groups. Naturally, he follows the local customs. The wedding dress follows the Xianbei custom of men and women.

At such a young age, she only knew a little about the relationship between men and women, and how could she know that if she consummated a marriage before she was fully developed, she might be in danger of bleeding, and in serious cases, even life-threatening.

Ren Qun joined the army as a clerk in the General's Office and followed Huan Xi on his northern tour. His greatest advantage was his loyalty and prudence, and he was highly praised by Wang Meng.

"Huan Lang, the guests are waiting outside."

"Da Dan Yu may have been too happy today and was a little greedy. He drank like this, and the bridal chamber will definitely fail. It's a pity that Muro has to stay alone in the boudoir on his wedding night."

When Deng Xia heard this, he couldn't help but said:

"Husband He, doesn't he think that Mr. Liang is deliberately getting himself drunk?"

He Laitou really didn't think about this, he said doubtfully:
"Why did Duke Yicheng say this?"

Deng Xia was not surprised. After all, the other party didn't know Huan Xi very well, so he patiently explained to He Laitou:
"Although Mr. Liang cannot restrain himself from women, he never drinks excessively. Today's drunkenness is just because he pities He's young age and cannot bear to break her virginity.

"And he was worried that he would neglect her tonight and cause the Helan tribe to misunderstand, so Liang Gong simply got himself drunk and could not have sex with her.

"In this way, it will not damage the Helan family's face, but also preserve the He family's perfect body."

He Laitou said in surprise:

"Really?"

After all, Huan Xi had a good reputation. Ever since he took Zhang Tianxi's mother Liu Meiren, Zhang Xuanliang's mother Guo Jiang, and Murong Ying as concubines in one fell swoop, his reputation as a womanizer could never be erased. Seeing that he didn't believe him, Deng Xia told He Laitou about Zhang Yu'er. Ever since Zhang Yu'er came in, Huan Xi would only visit her during the day and never at night, because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the temptation. Confusing things.

In the case of Zhang Yu'er, He Laitou finally believed Deng Xia's statement.

After Deng Xia left, He's mother whispered to He Laitou in Xianbei dialect:
"Huan Xi can think about Muro. It seems that we have found a good home for her."

He Laitou frowned and said:
"Now that the Helan tribe has surrendered to the Great Chanyu, we can no longer call him by his name."

Mother He nodded quickly.

When Murong Ying sent Huan Xi back to the commander's tent, and Shen Chiqian helped Huan Xi lie down on the couch, Shen Chiqian suddenly asked:
"Mrs. Murong, today is Mrs. He's wedding day. I'm afraid she's still waiting. Do you want to send someone to inform her?"

Madam Side is also a madam, and even in later generations, there is no one who would not hesitate to add an adjective when addressing the deputy director.

Murong Ying heard this and said:

"I'll explain it to you. You stay here and look after Huan Lang."

Shen Chiqian handed over his hand and agreed. Since joining the Helan tribe, Murong Ying and He Muluo had eaten at the same table and slept on the same bed. It would be best for her to explain.

When Murong Ying approached the new tent, footsteps sounded, and He Muluo quickly sat up straight. But when he saw that it was Murong Ying who entered the door, he had to hold back his disappointment and pretended to be surprised:
"Why are you here, sister?"

How could He Muluo's little thoughts escape Murong Ying's attention? She sat down directly next to He Muluo, held her hand and said:

"Huan Lang can't come tonight. My sister should go to bed early."

He Muluo's face turned pale when he heard this:

"He, he dislikes me? Looks down on me?"

As he spoke, He Muluo's eyes were filled with mist, and he could shed two lines of clear tears at any time:

"If that's the case, why would he marry me?"

When Murong Ying saw this, she felt lucky that she was here. She was worried that He Muluo had misunderstood Huan Xi. After all, Murong Ying regarded He Muluo as her helper in fighting for favor.

"Good sister, don't think too much. Huan Lang is not here today just because he loves you."

With that said, Murong Ying explained Huan Xi's concerns and the dangers of losing one's virginity at a young age to He Muluo.

"Consuming the marriage is only the second priority. Once she becomes pregnant and she is too young, it is very easy for the woman to have dystocia, causing one death and two deaths."

He Muluo's tears had already stopped. He Mulo seemed to be frightened when he heard such serious consequences.

Seeing that Murong Ying comforted her, he stood up and was about to leave, but He Muluo grabbed his sleeve:
"Sister, today is my special day. Huan Lang is drunk now. Can you let me take care of him?"

Murong Ying smiled and said:

"How can you take care of others at such a young age? Besides, this is not an easy job."

However, He Muluo's eyes were firm:
"Agan (He Laitou) is often drunk. My mother and I often take care of him. I also ask my sister to rest assured that Muro is capable of the job."

Murong Ying was silent for a long time. Finally, she couldn't stand He Muluo's plea and agreed:
"Okay, but I have to leave two maids in the handsome tent to help you, so as not to make mistakes in the rush."

Murong Ying was not worried about anything else. After all, how could he have sex when he was drunk, especially a drunk like Huan Xi? He just left someone to help He Muluo.

He Muluo was overjoyed. She still wore the green dress and went to the handsome tent with Murong Ying.

Huan Xi vomited all over the floor, and even though Shen Chiqian had arranged for people to clean it up, the unpleasant smell of alcohol still filled the air.

After selecting two maids who were always steady, Murong Ying said to the others:
"Everyone, please step back and have a rest. The Shanyu will have his new wife to take care of him."

After hearing this, everyone left, and Murong Ying told He Muluo some precautions before leaving.

After all the tossing before, Huan Xi had calmed down a lot now. He was lying on the couch with his eyes closed tightly and his brows furrowed. He was obviously not feeling well.

He Muluo patiently took care of him. Although it was hard work, when he thought that he suffered this crime for his own sake, he didn't feel tired, and only the sweetness in his heart remained.

Huan Xi became completely quiet in the second half of the night and fell into a deep sleep.

The two maids left behind by Murong Ying had already been ordered by He Muluo to wait outside the screen.

The candlelight flickered, and He Muluo herself was tired. She put on her clothes and lay beside Huan Xi's pillow, and then slowly fell asleep.

Outside the Great Wall in late autumn, the nights were naturally cold. Perhaps feeling the chill, He Muluo huddled up.

Murong Ying had not fallen asleep at this time. She was worried about Huan Xi, so she came to see him again. Seeing that He Muluo had fallen asleep and Huan Xi no longer felt any discomfort. Before leaving, Murong Ying pulled the quilt over and He Muluo also covered half of it.

The next day, dawn broke in the sky, and the first ray of sunlight fell on the handsome tent. Not long after, Huan Xi woke up from his drowsiness, feeling his head was dizzy.

Of course he could feel someone sleeping next to him, but he only thought it was Murong Ying.

It wasn't until he opened his eyes that it was He Muluo, which shocked Huan Xi.

With trembling hands, he lifted a little of the quilt and looked inside. Huan Xi finally felt relieved when he saw He Muluo's green dress.

"Fortunately, I still have my clothes."

He whispered to himself.

At least this showed that he didn't rush into her rudely last night.

Huan Xi knew very well that He Muluo must have been taking care of her last night, and he didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he had to walk out of bed quietly, for fear of disturbing He Muluo.

Walking past the screen, he saw two maids sitting and dozing off. Huan Xi thought about it but did not wake them up either.

With his status, he would naturally not feel that he was causing trouble to others. Huan Xi came outside the tent and asked Lang Wei to prepare some rice porridge for him.

After washing up and still making porridge, Huan Xi came outside the camp, looked at the bleak scenery in late autumn, and thought to himself:

'Finally it's time to go back. '

It has been more than half a year since he arrived in Hetao. Now that He Muluo has passed through and all other things have been arranged, Huan Xi will naturally not continue to stay in Hetao.

He has no plans to stay in the Hetao area for the New Year.

This trip was fruitful, mainly the surrender of the Helan tribe, but it was also a pity that the civil strife in Yu State broke out too suddenly and ended too quickly, giving Huan Xi no chance to intervene.

As for the reality of those tribes in Dai Kingdom, Huan Xi also saw through it.

In the future, when the Huan clan competes with the Fu clan for supremacy, except for the Tuoba tribe, the Dugu tribe, and the Bai tribe, which are completely controlled by the Fu clan, the other tribes should choose to wait and see.

They help whoever wins.
