On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 259 Prepare
After the Xiao family had lunch, they set aside a place for them to talk.

The door to the living room was open, but it was covered with a thick cotton curtain.

This door is equivalent to opening a door to loneliness.

Li Yan saw Xiao Xiao's little move and misunderstood it again, but he thought the little girl was very cute. She loved her house as much as she loved her own clothes.

If Meng Lang, who was afraid of himself, hadn't scared her, he really wanted to hold her in his arms: Isn't he better than the clothes?
Seeing that Xiao Xiao remained silent, he couldn't help but speak: "Why didn't you ask me why I showed up at your house?"

Xiao Xiao was confused when she saw him, but the second aunt came to inform him later. After thinking about it, she guessed the matter.

"Is Miss Chen sick?" Xiao Xiao looked at him with a complicated expression: "Are there any changes in your marriage?"

She didn't feel very happy about the result.

No, it should be said that if the Sheng family hadn't been watching him, she wouldn't have wanted to marry him.

There are many sextons in high-ranking households, but she has not received training in this area since she was a child. She is afraid that she will be assassinated accidentally.

Also, he was the eldest son of a concubine. Seeing that Mrs. Li had assigned her half-dead concubine niece to Li Yan, we knew that Mrs. Li loved Li Yan deeply.

Then if I enter the Li Mansion, there will be an aunt who wants me to have no children, and there will be a mother-in-law who is not sure how difficult it is to deal with. Thinking about it will give me a headache.

"That's really smart." Li Yan warned her first: "I'm not going to marry Miss Chen. Then my aunt will probably send someone to persuade you and threaten me to marry you in exchange for saving my life."

"It'll be up to you then."

Xiao Xiao didn't dare to say that he didn't want to, because he was afraid that the man with a proud look in his eyes and a look on his face asking for praise would strangle him to death.

She could only show the heroic spirit and said seriously: "I will work hard."

Then he reminded him: "The elders and younger ones are in order. Are there two sisters above me who are still unmarried?"

"Didn't your eldest sister make a marriage arrangement with the Jiang family?"

He really had no idea of ​​getting married before, but when he thought of marrying Miss Chen, he felt particularly resistant to getting married.

But now that he wants to marry Xiao Xiao, he personally planned it, and his mood must be different from before.

Now he wishes he could marry someone years ago?
Of course, this can only be imagined in dreams.

He can still think about getting married in the first half of next year.

After all, his aunt also wished that he would marry Xiao Xiao, otherwise she would delay her second brother's wedding.

Thinking that her sisters' husbands would be his brothers-in-law, he didn't want her sisters to marry too casually.

"Most of the people I know in Yuhang are either married or already engaged."

"I am now taking over the position of Qianhu in the guardhouse. How about I find a suitable one for your second sister from the guardhouse?"

Xiao Xiaoshen was afraid that he would mess up the relationship, so she quickly refused: "No, thank you very much, but my second sister's marriage has already been decided."

What surprised her more than anything else was: "Are you a Qianhu member of the health center? Has the Sheng family fallen?"

At this moment, she was hoping in her heart that the Sheng family would be exiled.

Or they all ran away when they heard that King Jin'an was going to deal with them.

Then I don't have to marry Li Yan.

In her opinion, it is not easy for her to marry him, but it is easy not to want to marry him. "I disappoint you." Seeing her eyes shining with excitement, Li Yan couldn't bear to pour cold water on her: "The Sheng family has many relatives and friends, and now they are married to the prince. The prince will not deal with it for the time being. Sheng family.”

After saying that, Xiao Xiao's face darkened instantly and he promised: "But don't worry, you have my protection, even the Sheng family won't dare to do anything to you."

Xiao Xiao could only nod. Since he couldn't escape, he had to be prepared: "Then can you find me a mother-in-law who understands the inner house? I also need to find someone who knows the rules, so as not to Shame on you."

She didn't mind embarrassing him. She wanted to understand this so that she could better use the rules to live a comfortable life in the inner house.

She is also very good at self-explanation.

You can make yourself think about the good news: if you marry him, you won't have to worry about food and drink, and you don't have to worry about being revenged by the Sheng family. Even if there is no handsome man to reward, it will be the same with the beauties.

If nothing happens, he can also compete with his aunt in a battle of wits and courage to prevent his brain from getting rusty.

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but tease her: "Are you so anxious to marry me?"

But in my heart, I once again affirmed that I have a good vision, and I am far-sighted enough to find jade in the rubble.

Xiao Xiao's request made it seem like she couldn't wait to marry him, which made him particularly happy.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, scolding him for being arrogant and ugly in his heart, but he defended softly and unconvincingly: "I don't have one?"

You must not show your true nature and scare people away. In a short while, you won't be able to find the enemy.

Li Yan thought she was shy, so he changed the subject: "Don't worry, I will find the right person."

He glanced at Xiao Xiao reluctantly: "I have to go to the guardhouse first, and I'll come see you in two days."

The Lord appointed him to take over Qianhu of the Guard House, so he had to work hard and not leave any clues behind.

But he also wanted Xiao Xiao to feel at ease and let her know the current situation, so that she would not be caught off guard by his aunt's people, so he came first on horseback in the rain.

There is also a train of baggage behind, including armor and weapons, which were brought here when he took office so that they would not be noticeable.

We also need to supply the monthly salary of the soldiers in the guard station, as well as some dried vegetables and the like.

Nowadays, there are few fresh vegetables in winter, but there are many dried vegetables. The Lord is also planning to let the people from the guard station contribute when they attack Yuzhang. Of course, they are willing to chew them now. I wish I could raise all the soldiers and horses immediately.

Xiao Xiao also knew that he would have to be busy with a lot of things when he took over Qianhu, so he was very considerate: "Then be careful on the road and pay attention to your health."

If he is half dead, then he will be the one to suffer.

He also conveniently put away the big cloak on the smoker and handed it to him: "It's cold outside, put this on and then the raincoat!"

Li Yan felt that she was trying hard to be a virtuous wife, but she still wore her hair in a bun and was still a little girl?
But he still couldn't help but rub her head and said with a smile: "I know, little housekeeper!"

Xiao Xiao gave him a roll of his eyes: "Don't be ignorant of your blessings when you are in the midst of blessings. Why would I be too lazy to bother with someone else?"

"It's my fault." Li Yan took the cloak and put it on, and asked again: "By the way, you said earlier, which family is it that proposed marriage to your second sister?"

It wasn't that he was gossiping, but the warmth in the living room and the girl he liked beside him made him really reluctant to leave.

It's good to stay a little longer so that you don't have anything to talk to.

"You know that person too." Xiao Xiao also remembered that Chen Erlang was his subordinate, so he happened to inquire: "He is the second son of Magistrate Chen's house. Do you think he is suitable for my second sister?"

Li Yan raised an eyebrow: "Chen Yibin?"
