This was also a nice word that didn't hurt, but when Ling Xiao heard it, his eyes lit up, he bowed and thanked her and left.
As soon as Ling Xiao left, Mo Ming jumped out: "Good job!"
What's good? What did she do?
Xining was confused. It was the first time that Mo Ming took the initiative to praise her. Why did he feel scared? Was he flattered?
Mo Ming seemed to be secretly happy: "Maybe Ling Xiao will help find a beggar's consort!"
ah? Really, this was not her intention. But really finding a beggar to be your consort... would be pretty good!
Not long after, Ling Xiao went back to his job, saying that he had found a more suitable person in the army.
Looking at the name, Xue Pinggui felt unfamiliar: "What is this person's job?"
Ling Xiao replied: "It's just an ordinary soldier, but it doesn't matter. I will mention him as the commander-in-chief of the rear army. Although he is not a high-ranking official or a son of a noble family, he is honest, honest and good-looking."
Strangely, I had to recognize him. He turned out to be an ordinary soldier. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao did not choose his own son, but an unknown soldier who had looked down upon him before.
Xue Pinggui said that he wanted to meet someone. After all, it was his daughter, so he couldn't take it all for granted.
Ling Xiao responded: "This person has never seen the world. If he saw His Majesty Tianwei, he would not be frightened. Why don't I go make arrangements so that Your Majesty can see it."
The next day, Xue Pinggui was taken to the stables by Ling Xiao in casual clothes.
Although Xue Pinggui had fought on horses and slept in stables before, that was several years ago. The special smell of horses made him almost unable to open his eyes.
Covering his nose with his sleeves, he walked past and saw a man brushing the horse's back with a brush.
"Your Majesty, that's him." Ling Xiao whispered in Xue Pinggui's ear, and couldn't help but secretly laugh.
I saw this person while walking on the street. He was leaning under a tree, feeling for lice, with a broken bowl in front of him.
Ling Xiao walked over and asked, "You are strong but you are a beggar. Don't you feel shameful?"
Seeing Lingxiao's majestic appearance, this person knew he was a noble person, so he quickly replied: "The young man makes a living by selling horses. Once he was entrusted by someone, and he met a Khitan man while delivering the horse. The horse was robbed, and he sold the house to pay for it. It’s not enough to compensate. The younger ones can only run away and beg for food all the way to this place. They are unfamiliar with the place and can’t find a viable livelihood for a while, so they can only continue to beg for food.”
Ling Xiao asked him to stand up, his body was considered strong. Although Xiliang is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, after a few years of rest and recuperation, the country has gradually become richer and the people stronger, and every household will have some surplus food.
It's just a little darker... Ling Xiao frowned slightly: "Why are you so dark?"
The man replied: "I sleep in the open air every day and haven't taken a shower for several months. Of course I can't compare to a noble person."
Ling Xiao then asked: "Are you willing to join the army?"
The man nodded fiercely: "Of course I am willing. I originally ran to the military camp, but I didn't have a certificate and wouldn't accept it."
In a country as small as Xiliang, even if it accepts a soldier, it still requires proof of household registration or a letter of recommendation. Where can a person who evades money go to get a certificate?
Ling Xiao twirled his beard and decided happily: "Come with me. Not only will you get a high position and a good salary, but I will also give you a good wife."
What, serving as a soldier and keeping a wife for an official? It would be strange not to do such a good thing. Immediately and cheerfully, Peipianpidian followed. When I arrived at the military camp, I was assigned to work as a groom in the stable. I was so happy that I kept saying that I really met a noble person!
At this time, Xue Pinggui was trying hard to endure the stench coming from the stables. There was a lot of horse manure mixed with horse urine in front of him. He didn't want to go any further anyway.
From a distance, he looks decent. Being exposed to the sun for a long time has made his skin darker than that of ordinary people. After brushing the horse's back, the man put on the saddle, mounted the horse and walked the horse. Sitting on horseback is also a bit cool.
After returning, Xue Pinggui asked: "Where does this person live? Does he still have any family members?"
Ling Xiao replied: "I checked, and there is no one in the family anymore. He is 21 years old this year. He used to make a living by selling horses. He is in good health and can eat five big white buns in one meal!"
When he was a beggar, he was frightened of hunger, so when he arrived at the military camp, he naturally ate ruthlessly.
The family background is clean, but... Xue Pinggui frowned slightly: "But how can a Li Shu be worthy of a princess?"
Ling Xiao responded calmly: "So, your majesty, please propose him as the commander-in-chief of the rear army. As long as he is a dragon or a phoenix among men, he is afraid that he will not be able to soar into the sky? No matter how good he is, he can't compare to your majesty, who is the emperor in his true name. For piano and chess He knows nothing about calligraphy, painting, or leading soldiers in war, and he is not literate at all. Fortunately, he is honest, content with what he has, and can stay with the princess for a long time."
A horse dealer, of course, knows nothing but horses. Don't ask him to marry a princess, even if he marries an ordinary girl, he will accept it. He was originally a beggar, and it was already good to have food to eat. Now he got a cheap wife for free, and she is actually a princess. What else can he do?
Xue Pinggui thought for a while, ordinary people would not deliberately engage in party strife. Moreover, Xue Ling is very much like Dai Zan. He should not imitate Dai Zan in the future, putting his husband on the throne and operating behind the scenes himself.
Of course, this groom can't compare to him. He doesn't even know the words, and he won't look like a prince when he puts on the dragon robe. It also takes a lot of time to cultivate. Not everyone can be as capable as he is, and can make Dai Zan and her late king's father happy. Besides, he doesn't just have one daughter. In the past two days, another prince has been born in the palace. He has five sons and six daughters. He is not afraid that no one will inherit the throne.
Ling Xiao did not choose a child of aristocratic family this time, but chose an ordinary person. This shows that he has good intentions, and he may have used this matter to surrender to him.
Thinking of this, Xue Pinggui nodded with relief and satisfaction: "Then let's do what Aiqing wants."
Xue Ling almost died when she found out that she was being married to a little-known groom. Then he went to the house of the Minister of Rites, but how dare he open the door? He said that the whole family was infected with the cold, and he was afraid that the illness would spread, so he closed the door to thank guests. He also specially asked someone to hand over a note asking for leave. This sick leave will last until Xue Ling gets married.
The marriage was granted by Xue Pinggui. No matter how reluctant Xue Ling was, she could only put on wedding clothes, put on a red hijab, and get married in style. Ten miles of red makeup, a banquet in the palace, and the emperor and queen going there in person gave her enough face.
Xining wore the queen's formal dress and followed Xue Pinggui to the wedding banquet. She got off the phoenix chariot and followed Xue Pinggui, passing through the crowd of people kneeling on the left and right who came to have the wedding banquet.
"I'm free of charge!" Xue Pinggui was wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown.
The groom was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. After being helped to stand up, his feet continued to tremble. Not to mention, since the marriage, another horseman has been promoted to the governor of the rear army. He was rewarded by the governor's mansion. After raising him for two months, his skin became much whiter.
Today I saw it clearly from a close distance. I can only say that he is average in appearance, not handsome. He is tall and strong and looks like a man. Of course, compared to him, it is still far behind.
Xue Pinggui looked at it and became more and more satisfied. With such a promising future, how could he help Xue Ling seize his throne? There is no need to ask questions. Anyway, it is difficult to give a complete answer if asked.
