Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1842 Xiao Meiniang

Chapter 1840: Xiao Meiniang

After the news came back that Qin Hao agreed to the marriage, the Zhen family cheered and the Xiao family beat gongs and drums.

Different from the Zhen family who was a businessman, the Xiao family was a truly prominent family in Hebei, but it was precisely because of their great business that they were targeted by Chen Youliang.

  The Xiao family was naturally unwilling to take refuge with Chen Youliang, but Chen Youliang, who was a former general of the Yellow Turban Army, would not reason with the family at all. If he did not submit, he would be exterminated.

With desperation, Xiao Yan could only lead the Xiao family to endure the humiliation and join the thieves. When Yuan Shao's army arrived, he gave him a crucial backstab, which destroyed Chen Youliang's power in one fell swoop.

If Xiao Yan just betrayed Chen Youliang, it would not have any impact on his reputation. After all, Chen Youliang's reputation was not good. Can betraying him be called betrayal?

That is called turning from darkness to light.

However, after betraying Chen and defecting to Yuan, Xiao Yan once again betrayed King Zhao Yuan Shao at a critical moment and defected to the new master Qin Hao, which made people have to despise his character.

Although Xiao Yan's betrayal this time was a helpless act. Bohai was already in a dead situation and he had no choice but to surrender if he wanted to survive. But the people of the world would not think so much. They only knew that Xiao Yan had betrayed his master twice, saying that he was a member of the fourth surname family. It is not an exaggeration to be a slave.

Xiao Yan rebelled against Yuan and surrendered to Qin. Although he saved his life and gained a high position, his reputation was completely ruined. Not only was he despised by everyone in the world, but also the generals of the Qin army looked down upon him.

After all, Xiao Yan has betrayed his master twice in a row, both at the most critical moments. As a colleague, who can safely trust his back to such a person who may rebel at any time?

It’s okay if the generals of the Qin army looked down on Xiao Yan, and even the surrendered generals of the Zhao army looked down on Xiao Yan. Although both sides were surrendered, they surrendered after being captured alive, which is not the same concept as Xiao Yan’s surrender.

Xiao Yan was despised by the generals of the Qin army, and was hostile to the surrendered generals of the Zhao army. He was gradually isolated in the army, and the entire Xiao family was affected.

The Xiao family has been a big family for two hundred years and has never experienced anything in the officialdom. This isolation is not a good sign. For this reason, everyone in the family is extremely frightened.

 Some people within the Xiao family even suggested that Xiao Yan should kill himself to thank the world. The Xiao family in the province was dragged down by Xiao Yan's reputation.

The person who said these words was naturally severely punished by the head of the Xiao family. After all, Xiao Yan was the person with the highest official position in the Xiao family. If he died, all the previous investments of the Xiao family would be wasted. drift.

At this time, the Hebei family proposed to marry the King of Qin, and the person to marry the King of Qin must of course choose the most beautiful woman in Hebei.

So, why is Xiao Meiniang, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Hebei and is also at the top of the Hundred Flowers List, missing?

Regarding the competition for the most beautiful woman in Hebei, scholars in Hebei also have different opinions. Some people support Xiao Meiniang, while others support Zhen Mi.

With the blessing of the aura of the Xiao family, Xiao Meiniang won the title of the most beautiful woman in Hebei, while Zhen Mi, who came from a business family, only won the title of the most beautiful woman in Jizhou.

The reputation of the Xiao family is very bad now, and logically speaking, they are not qualified to marry the King of Qin. However, Xiao Meiniang's reputation as the most beautiful woman in Hebei is too famous. If she is not among the marriage partners, what will the King of Qin think when he finds out?

Are you, the Hebei family, trying to deal with this king?

 So, even if the Hebei aristocratic family does not want to see the Xiao family, for the sake of the Xiao family producing the most beautiful woman in Hebei, they must add Xiao Meiniang to the marriage list.

After learning that the Xiao family was one of the four married families, everyone in the Xiao family was naturally overjoyed. After all, the Xiao family is in a bad situation now, but if they successfully marry the King of Qin, not only will all the difficulties be eliminated, but the family will also move forward. layer. The Xiao family, who had obtained the marriage quota, were ecstatic but also very uneasy. They were not worried that the King of Qin would look down on Xiao Meiniang, but they were afraid that the King of Qin would refuse to marry Xiao Meiniang because of the current reputation of the Xiao family.

 So, when the news came back that King Qin had chosen to marry the Xiao Zhen family, the Xiao family was almost boiling.

Fortunately, they thought that the King of Qin paid attention to moral character, and it turned out that he was also a good-looking person, but it was precisely because of this that the Xiao family had a chance.

“Sister, that warlock is right, you are indeed the ‘mother of the world’.” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Meiniang, like Zhen Mi, once had her fortune told by an expert. Zhen Mi's calculation was that she was "unspeakably precious", while Xiao Meiniang's fortune was "a mother who honors the world and is destined to be blessed with peach blossoms". Since then, her status in the family has skyrocketed. .

Xiao Meiniang has a gentle personality, is studious and can write well, is naturally beautiful, charming and charming. Naturally, she understands what her marriage with the King of Qin means to her and her family.

“Brother, from now on, the saying of mother’s care for the world must not be mentioned outside the home.”

Xiao Meiniang frowned slightly and said with a serious face: "That's just what the sorcerer said, it cannot be taken seriously."

"understand."

Xiao Yan showed a clear look. Of course he knew what his sister meant. After all, King Qin's back house was actually not peaceful. Not only was there Princess Wannian, but also the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. If his sister's comment about "mother's respect for the world" spread out, , maybe he will be targeted by these two women.

“By choosing to marry our Xiao family and the Zhen family this time, my lord is also expressing his ambition to the world.” Xiao Yan sighed lightly.

"What does brother mean by this?" Xiao Meiniang asked puzzledly.

"My lord rejected the daughter of the Tian Xin family, but wanted to welcome your sister, who is 'mother to the world', and Zhen Mi, who is 'indescribably noble'. Isn't his ambition obvious enough?" Xiao Yan said, his eyes filled with joy. It's a look of envy.

 His sisters Xiao Meiniang and Zhen Mi are women who are dreamed of by men all over the world but cannot be obtained. However, Qin Hao can easily have both of them at the same time. How can this not make all men envious and jealous?

 “Brother, what do you mean...”

Xiao Meiniang's mouth was slightly open, her eyes full of shock. She stopped mid-sentence and did not dare to continue.

Xiao Yan did not answer, but looked at Xiao Meiniang solemnly and said: "From now on, the Xiao family will rely on you, sister."

 Xiao Meiniang nodded slightly, feeling the burden on her shoulders was heavy.

The Hebei family wanted to hold the wedding immediately, but Qin Hao refused because the war was not over. However, in order to reassure the Hebei family, all the etiquette of the engagement was carried out.

After getting engaged to Zhen Mi and Xiao Meiniang, Qin Hao could clearly feel that the hatred and wariness of the Hebei family towards him disappeared. The implementation of the New Deal in Hebei became smoother, and the people's hearts began to quickly move towards the Qin army. This is Benefits of marriage.

At this point, Jizhou and Qingbei completely belonged to the Qin army, and Qin Hao also began to reorganize the surrendered army in a deeper level.
