A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Li Yin gazed at the beautiful young woman.

I felt a little guilty for a moment.

It is indeed somewhat cruel for a daughter to be nineteen years old and still not married.

But as an old father...

Li Yin simply couldn't find a good son-in-law!

He rose to power through military means, but he also understood the importance of culture.

Therefore, his requirement for his son-in-law was that he be both literate and skilled in martial arts!

But it's crucial.

There's no one suitable!

A few years ago, Li Yin was still in good health.

In addition, my daughter is still young, so I'm thinking of taking another year or two to find a partner.

A few years later, Li Yin fell seriously ill.

Although he has recovered, he has been left with many ailments and knows that his days are numbered.

When a person is about to die, they naturally want to choose the best husband for their daughter!

But no matter how you look at it, there are always things that don't meet your expectations.

So it's been delayed until now.

I met Li Rui not long ago.

He was originally an excellent candidate for son-in-law.

Unfortunately, he did something stupid, giving Li Rui three wives for nothing!

just now.

He has a legal wife, and he also has several concubines!

If my daughter marries into that family, wouldn't her status be even lower than that of a concubine?

How can that be allowed?

and so.

Even if Li Yin really liked Li Rui, that young man.

They couldn't marry their daughter off to that family either.

"Sigh, Yan'er, I just want to find you a good family."

Li Zhiyan rolled her eyes and said with dissatisfaction.

"Dad, Uncle Luo's daughters and sons can already run around in the fields! And me? I've never even held a man's hand!"

Li Yin was speechless with anger.

"You, you, you, a young lady should speak with manners."

Li Zhiyan ignored it.

"What etiquette? All I know is that if no one marries me, I'll just grab any man and take him home!"

Li Yin was furious.

"What kind of behavior is this?!"

Li Zhiyan was not afraid of her father, the military commander, and immediately challenged him.

"It's better than being a nun!"

Li Yin felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to the top of his head.

I panicked and almost fell!

Li Zhiyan still cared about her father and quickly helped him up.

He kept gently patting Li Yin's back to help him catch his breath.

"Dad, don't let me make you so angry, or my older brother will beat me to death when he gets back."

Li Yin had already caught her breath.

As a result, I heard my good daughter's "auspicious words".

His eyes rolled back instantly, and he almost stood up straight!

After a while, Li Yin waved his hands repeatedly.

"Get away from me."

Li Zhiyan pouted and walked to the far end of the covered bridge.

He didn't forget to turn around and call out.

"Father, find me a husband quickly, or I'll just marry any man I want."

Li Yin was completely paralyzed.

The dignified general collapsed helplessly onto the couch.

Thinking about it again and again.

She considered almost every young man she could think of.

They even considered Niu Ben!

The result was that I finally figured it out.

I still think Li Rui is the best.

how...

We can't really let our daughter become a concubine, can we?

Li Yin suddenly sat up and summoned his personal guards.

"Go and investigate Li Rui's legal wife, Wang Shuyu. She is said to be from a wealthy family. Find out her background."

"Here you go!"

……

at the same time.

Li Rui is so busy in Boling County that he barely has time to rest.

The campaign to overthrow local tyrants and distribute land is in full swing in every village throughout the county.

Zhao Pu was full of praise for this idea!

He was deeply moved.

When it comes to the art of governing a country, our lord is undoubtedly a prime minister!

After witnessing Li Rui's methods, Zhao Pu became even more convinced.

The people one follows.

He is a true dragon in this world!

Zhao Pu was thinking this way.

Li Rui also deeply realized just how important talent is!

Before Zhao Pu arrived, he did almost everything himself.

But now.

Zhao Pu joined the team.

Li Rui's pressure has been greatly reduced!

Although still busy, I'm mostly busy with decision-making.

If it's a trivial matter, Zhao Pu will resolve it directly!

In general.

Zhao Pu is like Li Rui's external brain.

Hassle-free!

So convenient!

at the same time.

In the back house of Nanzhuang.

Wang Shuyu no longer participates in politics.

Instead, he focused wholeheartedly on helping Li Rui in other areas.

For example, maintaining relationships with the women in the family.

He would also occasionally bring along the wives and concubines of the Restoration Army soldiers to weave cloth and make clothes together.

The soldiers' wives and concubines were deeply moved to see that even the matriarch of Wang Shuyu Hall was personally weaving cloth.

Moreover, they are more harmonious and congenial with each other.

Subtly and gradually.

This also brought the soldiers closer together.

If we say...

We were from the same hometown and were comrades-in-arms.

Now.

Everyone in Boling County now has houses, farmland, and families.

The cohesion is even stronger.

In addition to the bond of comradeship, there is also a touch of kinship.

This is all thanks to Wang Shuyu's silent contributions.

She could have done nothing and simply enjoyed life in Nanzhuang.

But she always did what she could.

If I can help Li Rui in any way, I will try my best to help as much as possible.

Seeing all this, how could Li Rui not love his wife?

Therefore, that night.

He repaid kindness with enmity.

So much so that it lasted until the next morning.

Wang Shuyu was originally scheduled to go with Zhang Yourong and Yuxiao to visit the soldiers with food.

It was forced to be postponed for three days.

Because Wang Shuyu felt like her whole body was falling apart, she stayed in bed for a full half day.

After finally getting up, I still have to secretly wash the bed sheets.

We can't exactly have the servants wash that huge water stain, can we?

Where does that leave her as the mistress of the house?

Despite her inner resentment, Wang Shuyu still wore a hint of satisfaction on her lips.

but.

I am satisfied, that's all.

Next time, let's wait another two weeks!

This soreness all over my body should be shared by the other sisters as well.

After washing the sheets, Wang Shuyu read a book in the hall.

At this time.

Wang Yuan, the younger brother, came in a hurry.

He was taken aback as soon as he entered the room.

"Sister, Li Rui can write poetry too!?"

Wang Shuyu frowned and said unhappily.

"If you call him by his name again, you can go back to Taiyuan!"

Wang Yuan was speechless, still unwilling to call him brother-in-law.

Because he felt...

There were no betrothal gifts, no wedding procession, no wedding banquet, and even her parents hadn't given their consent.

He couldn't bring himself to call him "brother-in-law."

But what Li Rui did.

Wang Yuan admired him from the bottom of his heart.

That's really impressive!

"Oh, sister, the general can write poetry? This poem, 'Written on Bianliang City,' was really written by him?"

Wang Shuyu was stunned.

"You're only finding out now?"

Wang Yuan immediately panicked!

"Of course I just found out! Brother Zeping came from Bianliang, so he knew a long time ago, but he didn't tell me!"

"I was working at the county office today when Magistrate Zhou told me about this matter. Is this poem, 'Inscription on Bianliang City,' really written by the general?"

Wang Shuyu smiled and said, unsurprised.

"Of course, but it's just a seven-character quatrain criticizing hedonism, far from being my husband's masterpiece."

Wang Yuan exclaimed in astonishment.

"Far from being a masterpiece!? Sister, do you know what you're saying?"

This poem, "Written at Bianliang City," has spread throughout the world and has deeply moved people!

Even the officials in Bianliang City dared not drink alcohol or eat meat for months on end, for fear of being accused of indulging in pleasure!

Wang Shuyu was already physically and mentally exhausted.

Annoyed by her younger brother calling her name, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He put down the book in his hand and took out a piece of cloth from the desk cabinet.

Slam it down on the table!

"Let's look at this incomplete poem."

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward.

I couldn't help but read it aloud.

"It is a pity that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly inferior in literary talent; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat lacking in poetic flair."

Genghis Khan, the proud son of heaven, only knew how to bend his bow and shoot eagles.

All that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present!

I've finished reading this poem, which is incomplete in its first half.

Wang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

"What arrogance! What imposing style! This...this divine language, he wrote it too!?"
