Wanli 1592

Chapter 298

It is not easy for Xiao Ruxun to marry Yang Caiyun. There are not many cases of military generals marrying civil servants these days, mainly to avoid suspicion. Civil servants generally do not marry military generals unless there is some special relationship or connection. The cooperation is pleasant, and then the marriage is decided, and the ostentation is not big, the scale is not big, try not to attract people's attention.

However, Yang Zhao himself is a Jinshi and has held important positions. Although he is currently unemployed, his past prestige is still there. The main reason why Yang Zhao married his daughter to Xiao Ruxun is that both of them are from Yan'an. We met, and it is said that my father once sponsored Yang Zhao to study and take the imperial examination, so after Yang Zhao passed the examination and became a high official, he returned to the Xiao family and married his daughter to him. He is the most admired among the four sons of the Xiao family. Xiao Ruxun.

It’s not that Xiao Wenkui educated Xiao Ruxun the most, but that among the four sons, Xiao Ruxun was the most gifted and intelligent. He was faster at reading and learning calligraphy than his three older brothers, and his martial arts improved faster than his three older brothers. Yang Zhaoyi Look, um, this youngest son is the best match for my daughter, so regardless of the obstruction of some former disciples, he married Yang Caiyun to Xiao Ruxun. This was still a big anecdote in Yan'an and the capital.

Xiao Ruxun also knew that the names of the four sons of the Xiao family were all given by Yang Zhao. The relationship between the two families is not simple, so in many things, the father and Yang Zhao can help each other if they can help each other. There is no way to do it, just like Yang Zhao's current loss of power, Xiao Wenkui can't help, so Xiao Wenkui also feels a little guilty, but Yang Zhao doesn't think so.

If you, a general, can help civil servants turn the situation around, that would be terrible.

However, some prejudice against generals could not affect Yang Zhao's appreciation for Xiao Ruxun. Faced with Xiao Ruxun who was almost grown up by him, Yang Zhao was very concerned. After leaving Beijing, he also paid attention to collecting news about Xiao Ruxun. After Ye Mengxiong went south from Beijing, He was the first to visit, so he had first-hand information about Xiao Ruxun. He knew that Xiao Ruxun would be knighted after winning a big battle in Ningxia, and that Xiao Ruxun was appointed as the chief general to go to North Korea.

Even so, he was pleasantly surprised by the news of Yang Caiyun's pregnancy, and hurriedly asked the court for leave to visit his daughter and son-in-law in the capital, but was delayed for a few days on the way, and missed the son-in-law's triumphant ceremony.

Xiao Ruxun led Yang Caiyun to Yang Zhao who was drinking tea in the living room. Yang Zhao heard the noise outside, stood up and looked outside, and suddenly saw the pregnant daughter walking over with the whole family supported by her son-in-law.

"Daddy!"

Seeing her father whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Yang Caiyun was so happy that she couldn't restrain herself, and her pace quickened unconsciously. Xiao Ruxun quickly supported Yang Caiyun and asked her to walk slowly. Holding her daughter's hand, looking at her pregnant daughter with tears in her eyes, she couldn't say anything happy.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law!"

"The daughter has seen the father!"

After the initial excitement passed, Yang Zhao stood up straight and accepted the salute from his daughter and son-in-law. Then he held his daughter's hand and led her to the chair to sit down. His eyes narrowed.

"This must be a big fat boy! Hahahahaha!"

Xiao Wenkui also stepped forward and said with a smile: "My father-in-law said it in time, this must be a big fat boy! Hahahaha!"

Talking and laughing like this, Yang Zhao took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

"This is a Hetian beautiful jade gift for my father's friend in Nanjing. I will give it to my grandson as a meeting gift. The gentleman is as gentle as jade, Caiyun, Ji Xin, take this precious jade away!"

Yang Zhao handed the jade to Xiao Ruxun, and Xiao Ruxun reached out to take it.

"Oh, I was delayed on the road for a few days, so I didn't have time to participate in the triumphant ceremony, but at least I arrived before Caiyun gave birth. This time, Daddy will definitely accompany you!"

Yang Zhao held Yang Caiyun's hand tightly, almost incoherent in his joy.

Xiao Wenkui ordered to go down and let the kitchen prepare wine and food, and clean up Yang Zhao. In the evening, the whole family sat together and had a reunion dinner to recount the past friendship. I am proud, and I hope that my little grandson will be as good at both civil and military as Xiao Ruxun in the future.

The guests and the host enjoy a meal, and enjoy themselves happily, as if all the troubles do not exist.

At night, in the room of Xiao Ruxun and Yang Caiyun and his wife, Yang Zhao accompanied his daughter and talked for a long time, until Yang Caiyun was exhausted, and Yang Zhao gently watched his daughter fall asleep, and then called Xiao Ruxun to leave together In the room, Weng and his son-in-law walked around the backyard while talking.

"Ji Xin, the old man knows everything you have done in these years, especially the two wars between Ningxia and North Korea. You fought beautifully in these two battles. You used gunpowder to blow up the city wall of Ningxia to avoid the loss and damage caused by the army's storm. It took a lot of time, and the Eastern Expedition to North Korea was able to break the Wa country into pieces, making it unable to threaten Ming Dynasty, all these things, the old man is very pleased."

Yang Zhao put his hands behind his back, paced slowly, looked at Xiao Ruxun with a smile on his face.

"It's all about the soldiers' lives, and my father and father-in-law have taught me well."

Xiao Ruxun couldn't help being polite.

"Hahaha, don't say this kind of thing too much. To be able to combine five or six local troops together, to take the morale of their troops and make them willing to serve you is something that most generals of the Ming Dynasty can't do. Especially the Li family, they are even more unable to do it, just based on this, Ji Xin, you are enough to surpass the Li family, and go further and higher than the Li family."

Yang Zhao admired Xiao Ruxun's ability very much.

Xiao Ruxun said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter if you can fight again. In a word, you have to run southeast and northwest. No, I'm going to fight Dongwu Kingdom again soon. My son-in-law didn't dare to tell Caiyun for the past two days, for fear that Caiyun would listen. Don't worry, don't dare to say more, I have to wait for Caiyun to give birth."

"Well, that's right. It's better not to listen to these things before a woman's family gives birth." Yang Zhao nodded, "But Ji Xin, do you know why Li Chengliang and Li Rusong can stand upright in the court and not fall down? Li's father and son are as stable as Mount Tai, but after you win a big battle, you want to fight away from the capital?"

Needless to say?Of course, those who are unwilling among the civil servants and military generals will push it together!I was worried that my strong rise would threaten the cakes they had allocated and make them unhappy, so I had to leave to make new cakes.

But it's hard to say that.

"My son-in-law doesn't know, please enlighten my father-in-law."
