The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 186 Extra Story: Tuan Tuan 9
Tuantuan is in a lot of trouble because of this matter, they are all sisters of the academy, originally because she is not Princess Rui, there are not many people who come to her, but since the imperial decree came to the Northwest Army, she became Princess Rui, so many people came to her .

And these people are not ordinary soldiers, the lowest rank is also a small military officer, and the highest rank is Qian Zong of the sixth rank and Ba Zong of the seventh rank.

These people are basically from the Northwest Army when they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they stayed here for more than ten years.

From the age of fifteen or sixteen to twenty-seven or eight years old, for so many years, they have experienced so many battles, big and small, and they are capable people if they can survive intact, not to mention that they have to say something every time they come talk.

If they were in their hometown, they were the same age and had children in groups, it seemed like they were not married yet.

It was also because of this incident that Tuantuan knew that in the Northwest Army, except for the recruits recruited in recent years, many veterans were not married.

Moreover, the Northwest Army is also the one with the most low-level officers. If it weren't for the strict control of the imperial court, the officers here would be several levels higher in rank based on the number of enemies killed.

Taking advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do in winter, she asked someone to make a count. Who knew that such a count would scare people to death.

"These people are all unmarried. They are all veterans who have served in the army for more than ten years. There are also those who have been in the army for many years and their daughter-in-law died or they couldn't wait to reconcile."

Hearing Zhao Xuan say that these are all veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years, Tuantuan knew that there are still many people in the Northwest Army who have no wives, but they have been in the army for less than ten years.

"Okay, I see."

Tuantuan was very worried. Originally, she thought that if there were not many people, anyway, most of the first batch of nearly a hundred sisters in their college hadn't married yet, so they would be able to get together, but seeing so many people, she didn't dare to mention it.

Just as Wen Zhuoming was going back to Songjia Village, Tuantuan wrote another distress letter to her mother.

After receiving the letter brought back by Wen Zhuoming, Wen Bao couldn't help but sigh that Tuantuan's temper was like hers, and if this kind of thing happened to her, she probably wouldn't stand by and watch.

"Auntie, the war at the border is probably not going to start. Their Turkic king died of illness and they are negotiating peace. Tuantuan and the others will probably come back soon."

Wen Zhuoming went to the northwest, and when he came back, Yao Lin had already given birth to a son for him.

This time, the route to the northwest will be opened, and there will be another route for the family's business in the future.

"Well, it's good to be back."

Wen Bao was still thinking about what Tuantuan said. There is nothing she can do about it, but how come her family seems to have forgotten that these are all military officers. Will she violate a taboo by doing so?

Wen Zhuoming saw that Wen Bao was worried, so he left the Song family and went back to see his son.

And Wen Bao, after two days of deliberation, finally wrote a reply to Tuantuan.

When they received another letter from Song Family Village, Tuantuan and the others were already preparing to return to the capital.

This time Zhao Xuan would also go back, so they had to delay for a few days, otherwise they would have set off long ago.

"My mother has finally received a letter."

Knowing that Zhao Xuan and Tuantuan were going to leave, the men in the barracks were terrified.

The daughter-in-law's matter has not been resolved yet, Princess Rui left, what will their daughter-in-law do?
Tuantuan was also reminded by Zhao Xuan that she might be taboo by writing the letter back, so she was very nervous when she received the letter from her mother.

After reading the letter at a glance, she couldn't help but go back and read it again. The more she read it, the happier she became. She knew that her mother must have a way.

"Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan, come quickly!"

Zhao Xuan is also busy packing his things and preparing to return to Beijing. He has not returned to the capital for so many years. He has many things to deal with, but no matter how many things he has, they are not as important as Tuantuan. The desk came to the back.

"what happened?"

Zhao Xuan knew that Tuantuan was reading the letter from Songjia Village, so he stared at Tuantuan's face as soon as he came, and he was relieved when he didn't find anything wrong with her expression.

"Zhao Xuan, let me ask you, if you become King Rui, do you want to increase the number of personal soldiers?"

"It's natural. The prince will personally guard 500 people, and the first-rank prince will personally guard 1000 people."

Zhao Xuan looked at Tuantuan, not understanding what she was doing asking this, but seeing her happily reaching out to him, he immediately walked over and hugged her in his arms.

"Zhao Xuan, you choose five hundred of those who don't have wives to be your personal guards, so that I can find wives for them, and that's justified!"

As soon as Tuantuan said, Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up.

His current five hundred soldiers were arranged for him by the queen, and they were all veterans who had followed his mother and queen on the battlefield.

It is good for veterans to have veterans, but they are old. Although their sons can take their place, he also wants to have his own manpower.

"That's a good idea. Is it my mother-in-law's idea?"

Zhao Xuan was no stranger to flattering Tuantuan's family, and Tuantuan was used to his words, so he just gave him a glare, but still agreed with his words.

"Of course it was my mother's idea. My mother also said that if there are not enough sisters in the college, there are also some daughters of merchants in the county who are willing. You must know that they are all officials, even if they are not of high grade, they are also officials. .”

Wen Bao replied to Tuantuan only after confirming this matter. There are many merchants developed in the county over the years, and these people's background is not enough. If their daughter can marry an officer, it will be different for him.

Zhao Xuan agrees with Tuantuan's words very much, it is also an honor to be his personal soldier.

So the next day, it was reported in the northwest army that King Rui wanted to recruit five hundred soldiers.

Being a soldier of King Rui means leaving the Northwest Army. Many people are very reluctant. They left home when they were teenagers and went to the Northwest Army. After so many years, they are suddenly asked to leave. They are really reluctant.

"Doumo, go and tell the sisters, if there is a man you like, then tell them secretly that only when you become the personal guard of King Rui can you marry you in a legitimate way, otherwise, I will not agree to marry you to them.

My mother said, when we arrive at King Rui's fief, she will go to prepare your wedding, but she has prepared a dowry for each of you. "

Cardamom's cheeks were flushed by what Tuan Tuan said, they had a deep affection for Wen Bao, they were all children who came to the academy for the first year, although the dean changed later, they were still used to listening to Wen Bao's words.

For so many years, they have also respected Wen Bao as an elder. It is also their consensus that Wen Bao is in charge of the marriage. In the early years when the older sisters got married, it is true that everyone has a dowry, which is 20 taels of silver and two taels of silver. Set of silver jewelry.

Although the dowry is not much, it is worth at least 40 taels of silver. There are so many of them, but it is not a small expense.

Of course, the most important thing is that they will not be without the support of their natal families. The most important thing is the skills they have learned, which is the foundation of survival.

"Well, I see, I will go back and tell my sisters."

Cardamom knew that this matter was important, not only did they have to choose a husband for themselves, but these people would also become soldiers of Prince Rui's mansion in the future. They were naturally happy to be able to follow Tuantuan, so she also attached great importance to this matter.

She also inquired about the four vacant lands around the mansion of King Rui's fief, which were reserved for them. When they got the fief, they could open up wasteland and build a house to have their own home.

Thinking of this, Cardamom immediately got busy.

Three batches of people came from the Northwest Army successively, a total of [-] people. Those who didn't come, except those who were married, were the last group who didn't have a chance to come.

Of the sixty girls, there was not only one suitor of these girls, but after hearing the words Dou Kou brought back, they all began to consider who would suit them best to be King Rui's personal soldier.

Zhao Xuan announced that the time was three days, and he would bring people back to the capital in three days.

Not many people came to him on the first day, but on the second day, dozens of low-level officers selected by the girls came to Zhao Xuan.

"Hey, San Zhuang, didn't you say you were reluctant to part with the barracks?"

Walking on the road and meeting acquaintances, these veterans couldn't help but speak.

"Humph! Mao Lizi, we smart people don't talk dark words, don't say you don't know what's going on. The military camp is hard to leave, but what's important to have a daughter-in-law? I'm already 28, and if I don't marry a wife, I will be thirty .”

This is also a sincere person, after King Rui gets married next year, they will be able to go to the fiefdom, hurry up, and they will definitely be able to hold their son in the year after next.

"That is, the people who can be notified will be brother-in-law, San Zhuang, and Mao Lizi in the future. I am thinking about dragging the Wen family's caravan to the south to sell some of the furs I have accumulated over the years. Do you want to sell them too?
Just keep a few good ones, but Mulian and the others still owe money to the academy, if they want to marry a daughter-in-law, do they have to pay back the money from the daughter-in-law? "

"It's natural. I asked Wu Mei, and she told me. By the way, brothers, you should leave two more pieces of good leather. I heard from Wu Mei that when the sisters they were together got married back then, Princess Rui's mother had to prepare a piece of leather for them." a dowry.

In this way, Princess Narui's mother will become our elder, we have nothing else, so it's okay to show respect to the elders and be kind. "

"Hahaha, Er Gouzi, according to what you said, King Rui will be our brother-in-law in the future?"

"Haha San Zhuang, you are right, this king is not your brother-in-law."

No one expected that Zhao Xuan would stand aside and eavesdrop, and it was only later that he figured out what his mother-in-law was up to.

These people are all married to girls who are as close as sisters to Tuantuan, and they will be very loyal to him and Tuantuan in the future. If things go on like this, these people will become the most loyal group of people in his Rui Palace's generations.

In the royal family, only he himself knows how ruthless the royal family is.

The current emperor is his father, and the crown prince is his elder brother, but what about in the future?
Who knows if the future emperor will be close to him?

He was about to get married, so naturally he had more things to think about, not only his son, but also his grandson and great-grandson, he wanted to think about and arrange things well.
