On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 258 Guests coming
After Li Yan and the Xiao family greeted each other, they sat down and started eating without anyone else.

The Xiao family was a little stunned, but they were too embarrassed to ask him why he showed up at their home on his wedding day.

Wu, who was rarely clever, used the excuse of taking her son back to his room to change clothes, and started asking: "Have you been to Li's house?"

"Of course I will follow." Xiao Dalang knew what his mother wanted to ask: "The Li family is very impressive, and Mr. Li's father is a very famous general."

"The most important thing is that Mr. Li didn't get married this time when he went back." Xiao Dalang smiled happily when he talked about it: "I asked about it and she said that your fiancée is seriously ill and can't get up, so of course the marriage can't happen."

When he went back with Mr. Li a few days ago, Xiao Xiao gave him twenty taels of silver and asked him to find an opportunity to treat people to drinks and dinner, and to inquire more about the Li family.

Now that the carriages and horses are slow and communication is inconvenient, she is afraid that Li Ji will get married in Yuhang long ago.

Now he changed his name to Li Yan and wanted to cheat her into a marriage.

Of course, there is nothing that he can do to deceive him, but he still has to be careful to avoid any harm to himself.

Therefore, after Xiao Dalang followed Li Yan back and was arranged in a guest room in the outer courtyard, he took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with the concierge and the housekeepers.

Wu clasped her hands together: "That's great, God forbids him from getting married!"

After saying that, he didn't want to talk to his son, so he hurried back, ready to tell his sister-in-law the good news.

Xiao Dalang asked: "Mom, where are my new clothes?"

"It's in the cabinet, you can find it yourself." Wu didn't even look back, muttering in disgust: "What kind of clothes do men need to change into?"

Mainly because mother and son had only been separated for a few days, so she hadn't started thinking about her son yet?

On the other hand, Mr. Chen also returned to his house.

First, I went to visit my aunt, and then I heard Mrs. Chen say that she was getting engaged to him. The woman was the second daughter of the Xiao family.

"Ah?" He was a little confused: "Miss Xiao Er?"

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Mrs. Chen slammed the table anxiously: "That's her. Just tell me if you are willing or not."

His own mother, Aunt Yang, had cried in front of her several times. The implication behind her words was that even if the Xiao family saved them before, they couldn't use the second young master to pay off their debts, right?

Of course Mrs. Chen also knew about her second son's marriage. She was like a gambler placing bets. She was so dizzy when Aunt Yang cried. If Chen Erlang himself was unwilling, the marriage would be forgotten.

She didn't want her good intentions to be treated like a donkey.

Anyway, she is very open-minded. If it rains or if my mother wants to get married, it is not something she can control.

To put it harshly, if the Lord's great cause fails, these people will either flee everywhere without a fixed place, or their heads will fall to the ground.

Besides, if the rebels had really entered the city a few days ago, who knows how many living members of the Chen family would be left?

So she is very tolerant.

"The mother should be the one who decides on her son's marriage. The son is willing." After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he asked shyly: "Are the horoscopes compatible? Do you want your son to give you a New Year gift?"

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "You know a lot, don't you?"

Chen Erlang also laughed: "Although my son has no experience, he has seen a lot in the past two years. When the eldest brother celebrates the holidays, he goes to his in-law's house to send gifts."

"Tell me the truth," Mrs. Chen asked curiously, "Are you really attracted to Miss Xiao Er?"

Although her son was not born by her, she raised him, so Mrs. Chen understood him. She wouldn't be surprised at all if he didn't agree.

But he agreed so simply, which made her a little confused.

Although the three girls from the Xiao family are not bad in appearance, Yuhang is the place where beauties come out. It’s not like the sons have never seen the world, so there is no way they are fascinated by beauty.

"Mom, I have always remembered the time when the second girl saved me earlier. She was not very strong, but she dragged me with all her strength."

"She also asked her sister to carry me into the car. I was really grateful to her at that time."

He still didn't know that the Xiao sisters thought that he fell in the middle of the road, making it difficult for their mule and cart to pass, so they planned to drag him to the side and let him die on his own.

"Later, the Xiao family came to help my mother. I heard my mother talk about the three girls of the Xiao family who were heroic and not inferior to their men, so I thought the girls of the Xiao family were quite good."

"Also," he approached Mrs. Chen, beaming: "Master Li also wants to marry Miss Xiao San. If it happens, then Master Li and I will be brothers-in-law, right?"

He is following the path of a military general, and it is impossible for his family to give him much help.

But if his future brother-in-law is also a military commander and has a high official position, he will definitely help him.

Mrs. Chen glared at him: "You can't say this nonsense. The Xiao family's family status is still low. Who wants to marry a wife who doesn't want to marry someone who is good for themselves? Someone who can help each other? I think she might be a concubine." "

But even if she is a concubine, because Xiao Xiao is Li Yan's savior, she is an extraordinary existence in Li Yan's heart.

And Miss Chen, whom Li Yan is engaged to, is weak. If Xiao Xiao tries her best, she will give birth to a son.

"What mother said is right." Chen Erlang didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Li family and the Chen family. He didn't know that the Li family and his son had plans to break off the engagement, and said with a smile: "No, today is the wedding of Mr. Li." It was a day, but Miss Chen was too sick to get up from bed, and the marriage couldn't happen. "

"What?" Mrs. Chen was surprised: "You're not married? Yes, if you are married, you will definitely stay for a wedding drink."

Then he asked: "What are the rumors about the Li family? What are Mr. Li's plans?"

Although I had long heard that Li Yan's fiancée was weak, only now did I know that she was so weak.

Thinking of Xiao Xiao who could kill with a sword, even Mrs. Chen admired Xiao Xiao's good fortune and murmured to herself: "Marrying such a wife is just a decoration. Miss Xiao San is so lucky."

"That's right." Chen Erlang was a little envious when he thought of Li Yan's cultivation of Xiao Dalang: "Your Excellency will take over the guard post first, and the people behind him have not arrived yet with the convoy, so we rode back first."

Mrs. Chen quickly asked: "What about Mr. Li?"

"Sir, have you gone to Xiao's house?"

Mrs. Chen glared at her dumbfounded son. Why did he just say such an important thing now?

On such a cold day with constant winter rain, Master Li was in a hurry to go to Xiao's house, which made her start to re-examine Xiao Xiao's position in Li Yan's heart.

Otherwise, Li Yan would be sitting in a carriage without being blown by the wind or wet by the rain. Wouldn't it be nice to drive comfortably like that?
At this moment, Li Yan, who had eaten and drank enough, was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Xiao Xiao carefully added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, then placed the bamboo strip cover on the brazier, and finally carefully covered his thick cloak on the smoke cage.

She took the opportunity to touch the cloak. It was so fluffy and slippery that it was really hard to put it down.

This is the simple and unpretentious clothes of the rich.

She wants to have it too.
