Chapter 622 Extra 14
Liao Xiaolang became famous and was coveted by countless girls. If Lin Yao hadn't known the inside story, she would have fought for her daughter. Even the queen was testing him openly and secretly. Just when everyone thought that the Liao family was going to marry the princess, Liao Xiaolang led his troops out of the capital for training. No one knew where he went or when he would come back.
This year, Chunlang and Nuer's wives gave birth one after another. After their children were one month old, they moved out of the marquis's mansion. Now, under Xin'an's arrangement, they both started businesses, and they are doing well. Not only can they support their wives and children, but they can also show filial piety to Xin'an.
Especially Chunlang, in his heart he always regarded Xinan as his biological mother, but he never wanted to say it out loud, and just silently performed his filial duties.
The following year, brothers Tang Shao and Tang Xi got married three months apart. Half a year after the new bride entered the house, the old lady of the marquis's mansion passed away with a smile amid the sorrow of her children and grandchildren, and the marquis's mansion began to observe mourning.
Three years later, Zhenzhen was seventeen, the mourning period for the Marquis's family was over, the sons of the brothers Tang Shao and Tang Xi were born one after another, and Tang Mo and Xin An also became grandparents. During these three years, there was occasional news from Liao Xiaolang. There was a period of time when there was no news for seven or eight months in a row. Liao Zhi sent people out to look for him, and finally found a 500-strong force on the border that had been dealing with bandits and mountain strongholds for many years. Only then did they feel relieved.
The person was late in returning, Zhenzhen was getting older, and Xin An was busy looking for a son-in-law, but Zhenzhen didn't nod after looking at one after another. He became more and more depressed, and kept counting Xin An's account book over and over again.
Tang Mo felt sorry for his daughter and cursed Liao Xiaolang for being a nuisance. He wanted to scold Liao Zhi as well, but considering his daughter's reputation, he had to swallow his anger and focus on searching for young men in Kyoto City to choose from.
On Zhenzhen's seventeenth birthday, Xin An held a birthday party for her. The purpose was obvious. Liao Xiaolang had been gone for three and a half years, and apart from some letters at the beginning, there was no news after that. People's hearts are unpredictable, and she couldn't afford to take the risk.
There were many guests that day, and many of them came with their sons. When they learned Xin An's purpose, they praised Zhen Zhen again and again. After Tang Mo finished his training in the Ministry of War, he went to several other units for training. Now he has officially taken charge of the Ministry of War and has the trust of the emperor. He can be regarded as a marquis with a heavy fist.
Tang Shao and Tang Xi have been successful under their father's guidance and each has a job. Xin An's wealth is no longer what it used to be. The two sons of the Marquis' Mansion are born of the same womb, so they should get married on the same day to reduce expenses. However, the Marquis' Mansion did not do so. The two wedding banquets cost countless money, and the amount of money spent was obvious to all. It can be said that they are extremely rich.
It can be said that whoever marries into the Tang family will have both power and wealth.
Mrs. Liao was also present, feeling anxious and regretful. She had said so many apologies in the past two years, but that bastard said he wanted to marry Zhenzhen but never came back. What was going on?
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was about to fly away, he was so anxious that he was at a loss as to what to do. He was also worried about his son's safety and was unable to sit still.
"Mrs. Tang is so lucky to have such an outstanding daughter. Mrs. Tang, I have a nephew from my mother's side, right? He is very handsome and talented."
"Your daughter is not only good at poetry and prose, but also good at writing and calculating. Madam Tang has really taught her well. I wonder which family would be lucky enough to marry such an outstanding girl. Madam Tang, can you please have a word with me?"
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Tang Shao, the heir of the Marquis's Mansion, smiled and led a man in. The man had a handsome figure like a pine tree and an imposing aura.
"Mother, Brother Liao is back."
Liao Xiaolang, who was in his early twenties, looked much rougher than before, but more mature and tough. He was a head taller than Xin An, so he bowed and said, "Greetings to Aunt An. How has Aunt An been doing these years?"
Xin An went to see her Zhenzhen first. At that moment, Zhenzhen lowered her head and fiddled with her handkerchief. When she raised her eyes and looked at her, Xin An's heart skipped a beat. Her Zhenzhen was crying.
Mrs. Liao also saw it and wanted to slap the boy, but she couldn't bear it because of his exhausted appearance.
"Well, how have you been these past few years?"
Liao Xiaolang said: "Although it was a bit hard to train outside these years, it was also beneficial for my growth. However, most of the time, the place I was in was too remote and I couldn't send letters, which made my family worried."
"Why don't you pay your respects to your mother?"
I'm standing right next to you, can't you see me?
Liao Xiaolang smiled and bowed, "Mother, your son is back."
All the reproaches vanished in an instant, and Mrs. Liao's eyes turned red. "I'm glad you're back."
My son has grown taller and become thinner, but he looks more energetic.
Everyone's eyes fell on Liao Xiaolang, and they all had their own thoughts in mind. This top-ranked young man in the capital had returned from training, and his future was limitless.
Liao Xiaolang seemed to be unaware of these gazes, and asked the young general who followed him in to bring a big box to Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen, this is my birthday gift for you."
"Every year I prepared a gift for your birthday, but unfortunately I never sent it back. Now I have brought them all back."
He spent five years gradually getting himself into Zhenzhen's heart, and then spent three and a half years going out to gain experience and wait for her to grow up. At this moment, his eyes were burning. Zhenzhen lowered her head to fiddle with her handkerchief, then raised her eyes and glared at him, "Who cares about your gift? I don't want it."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without caring about his manners. Liao Youyou, the little girl of the Liao family, looked around with her big eyes open, "Oh, big brother, you are in trouble."
After saying that, she chased after her sister Zhenzhen.
There was nothing that people present didn't understand. Liao Tongze was thinking about Tang Feiwan from the Marquis' Mansion and rushed back on the man's birthday. It seemed that the wedding of the two families was just around the corner. He felt extremely regretful. The most outstanding man in Kyoto City and the richest girl in Kyoto were gone~ Liao Xiaolang keenly noticed several unfriendly glances, turned his head and saw that several men were staring at him unhappily, he glared back, maybe his eyes were too intimidating, several men avoided his gaze instantly, Xin An saw all of this and sighed softly, what should I do, this kid is more dangerous than before.
Tang Mo and Liao Zhi came, and both looked at Liao Xiaolang, one with admiration and the other with displeasure.
After Liao Xiaolang followed the two men away, the people present became lively again. Even without Tang Jia Feiwan, there were still other girls, such as Liao Youyou from the Liao family. Although it was a pity, it would not hinder them from continuing to look for a daughter-in-law.
In the side hall at the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, Liao Xiaolang lifted his robe and knelt on one knee to greet his father and future father-in-law. Liao Zhi raised his hand and then put it down again. Today, as a father, he had to stand aside. If he didn't let Tang Mo vent his anger, he would not be able to marry this daughter-in-law.
"Get up, you've made it to Zhenzhen's birthday today, so go back after lunch."
Tang Mo was furious. He knew the reason why Liao Xiaolang went out for training. In addition to training himself, he also wanted to avoid the royal princess. But he had been gone for such a long time without any explanation. What was going on?
Liao Xiaolang didn't get up. "Uncle Tang, my nephew came back today to marry Zhenzhen. I beg you to help me."
"Don't even think about it. There will be no news about you after you leave. It's nice to think that you will get married when you come back. But let me tell you, there are many people who want to marry me, Zhenzhen. It's not your turn."
Liao Zhi wanted to say something but stopped himself. He stood with his hands behind his back admiring a celadon vase in front of him, pretending he heard nothing.
Liao Xiaolang stood up and began to undress. Tang Mo frowned, "What are you doing?"
