Chapter 2270 Extreme Cold【4】
Xiao Chenggong realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and immediately regretted it: "Dad, my son knows that he was wrong. He will no longer be jealous. He will definitely grow up and work hard. Dad, won't you let me go to Duchonggou Camp?"
"No!" Uncle Qin said, "You have to go and book the Du Chonggou camp. If you dare not go, I will expel you from the house. From now on, you can go there alone."
this?
Hmm, Xiao Chenggong cried, but it was useless to cry. Uncle Qin was determined to give him a strong medicine to completely correct him.
…
Xiao Chengju had already bought warm clothes and gave them to Xiao Mei to take to the female guest's house.
Tan Qianhu and his family were talking when they heard a knock on the door. When they opened the door and came out, they saw it was Xiao Mei and asked, "Miss Xiao, why did you bring so many things here?"
Xiao Xiaomei was carrying two boxes, with a food box and a basket of charcoal hanging on the poles at both ends. She smiled and said, "The weather is getting colder. When my second brother saw that Tan Qianhu didn't bring anything to keep out the cold, he went to buy some. Tan Qianhu keeps out the cold."
He pointed to the food box and said, "The banquet ended early. My mother was afraid that you would be hungry at night, so she bought some food. If you are hungry at night, you can heat it on the stove and fill your stomach."
Using the name of Widow Xiao, let the Tan family know that Widow Xiao also cares about the Tan family and sincerely wants to marry Miss Tan.
Mrs. Tan: "How can this be so embarrassing? They were all bought with money."
Anything in the guardhouse that exceeds the quota of each family must be purchased with silver.
“They are all brothers’ guards on the same line of defense, what’s there to be embarrassed about?” Xiao Mei smiled and asked: “Aunt Tan, can I pick it for you?”
Mrs. Tan was not pretentious and nodded: "Okay."
“Hey.” Xiao Xiaomei picked the things in, put them down and left without staying too long.
After she left, Tan Qianhu came out and said with a smile: "After all, he is not stingy."
Mrs. Tan glanced at him angrily and said, "That kid Cheng Ju is already pretty good, and you are quite satisfied with it. Why do you deliberately give him a bad look when you meet him? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to torment him and make him worry?"
Tan Qianhu said: "Our sister Xiang's marriage is too unsatisfactory. This is the third one. What if it doesn't work out? I don't have to put on a bad face and try? What if he is even this angry? If he can't bear it, then even if General Wu gives him an official position, the marriage will be canceled!"
Tan Xiaoxiang came out to help. When she heard this, her eyes were red: "Mom and dad, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who has troubled you."
Tan Qianhu said: "How can I blame you? It was your parents who harmed you."
Xiang Jie'er's fiancé was the son of his comrade-in-arms. Since all the family members were dead, he felt sorry for the child, so he betrothed Xiang Jie'er to him.
How did you know that the child was short-lived and died in the war, which gave Sister Xiang the reputation of being an outcast.
Then his wife was sick, and he was afraid that it would be more difficult for Sister Xiang to marry if she died. He felt that Xiao Bai's family knew everything about her, so he wanted to marry Sister Xiang to Xiao Liang.
How did you know that Xiao Liang was such a beast that he didn't say that he wanted to marry Sister Xiang, but instead spread rumors that Mrs. Tan had tuberculosis, forcing the Tan family to propose marriage first, so that the Xiao family could gain face.
Thanks to his wife’s illness being cured by Mrs. Qin, the couple worked together to find out the truth, otherwise Sister Xiang would have fallen into the pit of fire, and he might have been killed by Xiao Liang!
Tan Qianhu said sadly: "I really didn't expect that a person who had watched me grow up could be so vicious. He wanted to ruin my daughter's reputation first, then marry her as a favor, and then harm her. Kill me and take away Wei Suo’s thoughts!”
A person from a hundred households can be promoted to a thousand households. If Xiao Liang marries Sister Xiang and his father-in-law dies in the war, according to the rules, Xiao Liang, the son-in-law, will receive preferential treatment, and the Xiao family may succeed the Tan family and become the Yonglin Guard. of thousands of households.
Mrs. Tan trembled when she heard this, shedding tears, and said fearfully: "What can our family do to apologize to him? Xiao Dapei is not capable enough. For the sake of joining the army together, you let him become a hundred households. Isn't Xiao Liang satisfied?" You’re plotting against our family in such a vicious way!”
"I originally thought it was Xiao Hu who was evil, but I didn't expect it was Xiao Liang!" "I used to think that he was an honest kid, so how could he have such thoughts?!"
Mrs. Tan couldn't figure it out and cried aggrievedly.
Tan Qianhu said: "Why do you want to harm us? It's not because of fame and fortune. When he becomes our son-in-law, when I die in the war, and our two sons are young, this guardhouse will become his Xiao family's What’s in the bag!”
There is another matter, and that is the death of Chang Feng... Xiao Liang's position as commander-in-chief was to fill Chang Feng's vacancy.
If Xiao Liang killed Chang Feng on the battlefield in order to be the commander-in-chief... Tan Qianhu trembled, feeling scared and sad, feeling sorry for Chang Feng.
"Dad, are you okay?" Tan Xiaoxiang saw Tan Qianhu trembling and hurried over to help him.
Tan Qianhu looked at her, thought for a while, and told his mother and daughter his guess.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan and Tan Xiaoxiang were shocked. Mrs. Tan cried: "Beast, how could he do this?!"
Tan Qianhu said: "Don't shout, don't shout. This is just speculation and there is no evidence."
Chang Feng died several years ago and died on the battlefield, so there was no way to collect evidence.
However, murdering colleagues on the battlefield has been around since ancient times... There are so many official positions, and everyone is fighting for their lives. If you want to be an official, you have to kill those who are more powerful than you.
Tan Xiaoxiang wiped away her tears and said to Tan Qianhu: "Dad, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Xiao Liang must die. If he is allowed to live for five or ten years, he may harm our family again! "
Xiao Liang is a poisonous snake. If he hides in the dark and gives her family a bite, it will be really hard to guard against it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan quickly grabbed Tan Qianhu's hand and said, "Sister Xiang is right. Her father, Xiao Liang, really can't stay."
Tan Qianhu frowned: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
The Xiao family was smart enough to let Xiao Hu admit everything. Xiao Liang and Xiao Baihu escaped. He could drive Xiao Baihu and Xiao Liang out of the guardhouse only with the help of General Wu, otherwise At most, the Hu family will be punished.
He added: "Don't worry, General Wu and Qin Qianhu are watching. Even if Xiao Liang gets into trouble again, he will be arrested immediately."
But these are just words to comfort them. If Xiao Liang really did everything, then with his vicious nature, he will definitely keep an eye on his family for revenge for the rest of his life. Then his family is really defenseless, and it is impossible to live a normal life!
However, this is the only way for now.
Tan Qianhu didn't want to talk about this unexplainable trouble, so he looked at Tan Xiaoxiang and said, "Sister Xiang, your marriage has been bumpy because of your parents. Now that this is the third time you have proposed marriage, your parents will no longer make the decision. , just look at yourself, if you don’t want to, your parents won’t force you anymore.”
Xiang Jie'er had more of a brother-sister relationship with Chang Feng. It was because he treated Chang Feng like a child that he arranged the marriage for Xiang Jie'er.
After hearing this, Tan Xiaoxiang looked at the things brought to keep out the cold, and thought of Xiao Chengju. After a moment, she said, "Mom and dad, Xiao Er is good, and my daughter wants to marry him."
Tan Qianhu was shocked. Seeing that his daughter was still blushing, he hurriedly asked: "It's only been ten days. Sister Xiang, are you interested in him?"
It’s too fast.
Tan Xiaoxiang shook his head: "Of course not, I just feel that I have a reputation of being an outcast, but he can still treat me Chicheng. For me, he restrains his nature and takes over the post of concubine. It is very rare... He is sincere Treat me, I don’t have anyone I care about now, so naturally I can’t live up to my love.”
Tan Xiaoxiang looked at Tan Qianhu and Mrs. Tan and said solemnly: "Father and mother, it's him, my daughter is willing."
