Chapter 4 Engagement

At night, the county magistrate's house was in the room.

Liu Yu and Mrs. Ao sat opposite each other and talked at night. "Husband, are you saying that the envoy Cai proposed marriage at today's banquet?" Mrs. Ao asked first. Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's right, during the day, Brother Bo Yi praised Lie's praise after Lie'er surrendered the good horse in the Western Regions. During the afternoon banquet, Brother Bo Yi asked, wishing to match the pearl in his hand and ask what I want." Mrs. Ao said, "Everyone knows the name of the envoy Cai, and his daughter Cai Yan, was known as a talented woman when she was young. If she married Lie'er, it would be a match made by heaven. I just don't know how old Cai Yan is now?" Liu Yu said, "The famous name of the envoy Cai is known to everyone in the world. His daughter Cai Yan was known as a talented woman when she was young. If she married Lie'er, it would be a match made by heaven. I just don't know how old Cai Yan is now?"

Fu Xu said, "Today, when Brother Bo Yi talked about his little Yan's childhood, his face was full of self-satisfaction. I think the name of a talented woman should be true. Otherwise, Brother Bo Yi would not be satisfied with his character. So I kept my mind and asked a few questions carefully. Xiao Yan'er was seven years old this year, but he was one year younger than Lie'er." Mrs. Ao smiled and said, "It seems to be interesting to hear your husband's tone?" Liu Yu laughed and said, "In my opinion, let's settle this matter. Brother Bo Yi is a great scholar of the world and is also a match with my family. What does the wife like?" Mrs. Ao gently pointed her head and said, "It's up to your husband's wishes."

At noon the next day, the banquet was held in the lobby of the county magistrate's mansion. Boss Ao, Cai Yong and the Liu family were all present. After three rounds of wine, Liu Yu picked up the wine glass to toast Cai Yong, and said, "Brother Bo Ji, my wife and I made a decision last night. This morning, I have reported to my father-in-law. According to my opinion, let's settle the matter between Yan'er and Lie'er." Cai Yong heard this, hurriedly picked up the wine glass and returned to Liu Yu, and said, "Brother Meng Bo'an will not abandon him. Yong is really happy. Please drink this cup." The two of them said irrelevant words, which made the two young men Liu and Ao Lie sitting beside him confused and confused.

Boss Ao smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it, then turned to Ao Lie and said, "Lie'er, your uncle Cai liked your young hero yesterday and wanted to betroth your only daughter to you. Your parents have agreed, and I am also very happy." After hearing this, Ao Lie's face was embarrassed and his handsome face turned red. After a while, he said, "Grandpa, Uncle Cai, father, the child is still young. Will you talk about this later?"

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Is it early? It's too late. Your elder brother will marry his wife next year. Now you have decided on your lifelong affairs and you will have no regrets in your heart for your father." Ao Lie then remembered that it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the 21st century. In this era, you usually get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Thinking of this, Ao Lie's face turned red and bowed to everyone, saying, "The child occasionally feels cold and is unwell, so he will leave first. As for the engagement, it depends on Uncle Cai and his father." After that, he ran out of the lobby as if he ran away.

"Puchi", after hearing Ao Lie's words, Liu He couldn't help but squirt out a sip of wine that had just come to his mouth. While coughing violently, he laughed: "I feel the wind and cold, haha, cough cough, my second brother is as strong as a cow, cough cough, and I insist on practicing martial arts. Where does the wind and cold come from? Haha, it's obvious that he is just a thin face..." A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the lobby. Even Liu Yu, who usually demands strictness on his two sons, did not accuse Liu He of his rudeness at this moment. Instead, he had a gratified smile on his face and his laughter was particularly cheerful.

Three days later, Cai Yong bid farewell to Liu Yu and left alone. Shortly after Cai Yong left, Liu Yu came to the backyard, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and silently watched Ao Lie practice swords. Almost as soon as Liu Yu turned his gaze to Ao Lie, Ao Lie's originally stretched figure suddenly became tense, like a big bow ready to go. The long sword in his hand changed with the trend, pointing directly to where Liu Yu was, as if a sharp arrow was placed on the bow, ready to shoot out at any time.

Liu Yu felt the dangerous aura emitted from Ao Lie, but he was very satisfied and said, "It's for the father." After Ao Lie saw that the person was Liu Yu, he immediately exhaled his momentum, put away his long sword, held the sword and saluted. Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, you must be vigilant enough at any time. No matter at any time, you must not throw away the weapons in your hand. Very good. These principles are deeply understood by the father on the battlefield, but what makes the father not understand is that you have never been to the battlefield and have never received guidance from famous teachers. How do you understand these principles?"

Ao Lie opened his mouth but couldn't speak. He couldn't tell his father that he was instinct he had learned in Wudang Mountain in his previous life, right? He had to evade: "The child doesn't understand very much, but he just thought it was supposed to be so, so he did it." Liu Yu was amazed: "Lie'er, as you grow older, you will be unable to see through you as your father. Is this really a superhuman talent? It makes you have a far superior understanding in any field."

Rarely lowered his head, Ao Lie said modestly: "Father is too good." But he thought to himself: "Superman's understanding? No matter what field? I have traveled through time since more than 2,000 years later. If I weren't afraid of you being surprised, I could recite a thousand Tang poems and Song lyrics. These skills were learned in my previous life."

Liu Yu didn't know what Ao Lie was thinking, so he smiled twice with relief, and then said to Ao Lie: "It's okay, you continue practicing swordsmanship. By the way, I came to you to tell you that your uncle Cai and I have already discussed it. When you are sixteen years old, you will let you and Yan'er get married." Ao Lie buried his head lower and replied in a voice that is no longer much greater than a mosquito screaming: "Yes, but it's up to my father to do it." Liu Yu nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out.

When he was about to get outside the yard, Liu Yu turned back to Ao Lie and said, "By the way, you can take more time to take care of the horse that your grandfather gave you, and you can cultivate more feelings. This will be of great benefit to you when you go to the battlefield in the future. In addition, you often ride a horse outside. No matter how good the horse is, you don't often walk around, and over time, it will be ruined." Ao Lie replied, "Yes, the child has recorded it."

After Liu Yu left, Ao Lie held the sword but couldn't calm down and practiced the sword. In his previous life, he was an orphan. His biggest hobby was practicing ancient martial arts and adventures. He had never had a girlfriend before. Now there was a fiancée, which made him at a loss. What's even more confused was that he had a fiancée at the age of eight? What's going on?

"Oh, forget it, just fiancée, I'm afraid she won't succeed. Besides, Cai Yan, hehe, he is a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty in history. Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm not losing anything. What else can you think of it?" Ao Lie finally thought of a reason to comfort himself. He looked up at the sky and simply stopped practicing swords. Anyway, his mood has been destroyed today, and there is no good effect if he continues to practice forcibly. Why not go and see the dragon horse of the Snow on Ye.

When he arrived at the stable and was far away, Ao Lie saw his shiny snow dragon horse, because its snow-white fur was so conspicuous. At night, its snow-white fur could also reflect the moonlight, like a layer of silver light, just like its name - the light can shine on the night!

Ao Lie quickly walked to Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse, reached out to touch the mane of his beloved horse a few times, then put his face on the horse's face, and asked softly: "Zhao Ye, do you miss me?" Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse neighed in a low voice, as if responding, then stuck out his tongue and licked Ao Lie's back several times, making Ao Lie numb and itchy.

"Let's go out for a walk." After saying that, Ao Lie released the reins of Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse, then placed the saddle placed beside him on Zhao Ye's back, and led the reins and walked out of the county magistrate's mansion.

When he arrived in the suburbs, Ao Lie turned over the horse, took a photo of the Yexue Dragon Horse's neck, and shouted, "Free!" Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse spread its four hooves and ran away like lightning. After running for more than half an hour, Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse was still full of energy, but Ao Lie, who was sitting on the horse's back, could not bear it. After running for a while, Ao Lie tied the reins and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse was running immediately withdrew its strength, and inserted its back hooves hard to the ground, and its front hooves kicked the small

With a broken step, he stood steadily on the ground. Ao Lie turned over and got off the horse, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the back. He saw a layer of blood-red sweat in his palm. He praised: "Zhaoye, you are really worthy of being the descendant of the King of the Western Regions. A pure-bred sweat-blooded BMW. I heard that the sweat from the sweat-blooded BMW is the same color as the blood. When I saw it today, it was indeed the case." Zhaoye understood Ao Lie's praise, raised his head, and sniffed loudly, as if he was an arrogant answer to Ao Lie: Of course!

Ao Lie was amused by Zhao Yexue's arrogant expression. He loosened the reins and pointed to the grass not far away and said, "Go and find some green grass to eat." Zhao Ye stretched out his big tongue, licked Ao Lie's face intimately, and then trotted to find the green grass to feed. Looking at Zhao Yexue's agile figure, Ao Lie suddenly felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking hard for a long time, Ao Lie's mind flashed. Why did he feel tired after riding on the horse for more than half an hour? The answer is a saddle! No wonder he always felt that Zhao Ye had fewer things on it, it turned out to be a saddle! The saddle in the Eastern Han Dynasty was a low-bridge saddle, which was poorly stable, which made him, a person who was used to riding a high-bridge saddle in his previous life, felt very uncomfortable and laborious.

Ao Lie understood that he had overlooked a problem, that is, some common things in his previous life were not available in this era. Almost all horses in his previous life were equipped with high bridge saddles, double-sided stirrups, and horseshoes were nailed on horses' hooves, and even those bad horses that were only for tourists to ride in tourist areas were equipped with these equipment. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, these things, even the most majestic horses, were not available, because these things had not been invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After understanding this problem, Ao Lie became excited. If he organized a cavalry in the future, equipped with a high bridge saddle, double-sided stirrup and horseshoe, what a sharp team that would be! By the way, there is also the Guangwu Secret Treasure! The Guangwu Secret Treasure that allows him to come to this world. If he equipped the Luohu Dragon Horn Axe and Fish Scale Armor equipment in the Guangwu Secret Treasure, he could completely build an invincible heavy cavalry! You must know that in this era, heavy cavalry has not appeared yet, and people's use of cavalry is still at the level of light cavalry and archers. There are also the tricks in the Guangwu Secret Treasure that all kill sabers are sabers, which are real killing weapons. Hey, thinking about it, will you be able to organize an elite cavalry and an elite infantry like Emperor Guangwu in the future?
