Shang Yu served as a soldier of Gu Liang. Although he was not promoted to military rank due to some special reasons, all the rewards and salary he received were given to his family. Therefore, the merchant's house and furnishings were decent, and he was not in the kind of poverty where the family was living in poverty.

After Pei Yue and Wei Rui continued to comfort her, Shang's mother gradually stopped crying.

Father Shang was an honest man. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Master Marquis, my son... Shang Yu didn't embarrass you, did he?"

Pei Yue shook his head firmly, and then told Shang Yu's experience in the Western Region, without deliberately exaggerating or concealing the details. After telling that past event, he said sincerely: "I would like to express my condolences to you. Please don't worry about the future."

of students

Live, Shang Yu is my brother, and his parents are my elders. I will provide for you in your old age. As for my younger sister’s marriage, if the two elders can trust me, just leave it to me to arrange it. I promise to find an honest man for her.

A reliable husband."

Shang's father nodded repeatedly and said: "I believe it, I believe it, but I don't dare to trouble the Marquis."

Pei Yue sighed softly: "Compared with Shang Yu's contribution, how can I call these things troublesome? There is still something to explain to the two elders. Shang Yu made great contributions in the war in the Western Region. Your Majesty has already

Agree with my petition, posthumously make him the deputy commander of the Zangfeng Guard, and grant him a title of brave man. The reward will come out in a few days. At that time, I will have people waiting here to accompany the two elders to receive the reward. Don't worry about etiquette.

Question. What if..."

At this point he suddenly fell silent.

Father Shang and Mother Shang seemed to be in a dream. Although Shang Yu had passed away, to be buried with a title was an honor that a merchant had never had. Of course, the two of them knew that this was Pei Yue's intention, and they quickly kowtowed to Pei Yue.

Thanks, Pei Yue and Wei Rui immediately helped them up.

Pei Yue's expression was still solemn, and the unfinished words made him panic.

As he spoke, he remembered that Shang Yu was not married yet, so he naturally had no heirs. Even if he persuaded the emperor, he would not be able to seclude his descendants.

Wei Rui, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked: "Uncle, please forgive me for being rude. May I ask how old your wife is?"

Everyone was stunned. Pei Yue looked at Wei Rui with complicated eyes and found that his eyes were extremely firm.

Father Shang had not yet recovered from the surprise and subconsciously replied: "My daughter is fifteen years old this year."

Wei Rui took a breath and said sincerely to the couple: "The junior's name is Wei Rui. He joined the army in the same year as Shang Yu. We have been colleagues since then. Maybe he mentioned it when he went home. I and Shang Yu

He is a lifelong friend on the battlefield. If the two elders do not dislike him, I would like to marry you."

"This...this..." Faced with this sudden change, the couple didn't know how to reply for a while.

Wei Rui cupped his hands and saluted, "I am willing to serve my parents on Shang Yu's behalf. Please don't dislike me, uncle and aunt."

The couple were very moved when they heard this, but they dared not agree to it. This young man could follow Pei Yue in, which shows that his status is extraordinary and his future is limitless.

My daughter has a good temperament and good character, but she is from a humble background. How can she join such a wealthy family?

Wei Rui quickly noticed their concerns and saluted again: "Uncle and aunt, my father is just an ordinary fifth-grade military attaché. The people in the house are simple and the family tradition is honest. Your love will never be wronged in the slightest after marrying her."

Logically speaking, it is definitely not his turn to come forward in this kind of matter, but Wei Rui is very assertive in major matters. In some respects, he is the person most like Pei Yue.

"Wei Rui, have you thought clearly?" Pei Yue asked.

He didn't want Wei Rui to do something like this out of impulse, which would undoubtedly be the cruelest result for the merchants. Although he knew this subordinate relatively well, he had to confirm it face to face at this time.

Wei Rui said solemnly: "Master Hou, the last general never lies."

He glanced at the jar, which was still being held by Shang's mother, and said firmly: "If the marriage can come true, I will choose one of my children to inherit Shang's incense."

Father Shang and mother Shang were completely stunned.

The atmosphere of this era was not as easygoing as that of Pei Yue's previous life. Unless a man married into his wife, there was no possibility of his grandson becoming a biological grandson.

The most important reason why they closed the door tightly to exclude those matchmakers was that after Shang Yu passed away, they only had one daughter. If they could not recruit a son-in-law, the business's reputation would be cut off in their hands.

Now that Wei Rui has even seen this and given assurance, they were so shocked that they didn't react for a long time.

Pei Yue did not expect that things would develop in this direction. To be honest, he was quite surprised.

In the past, Gu Liang asked Wei Xiao to tell him that Wei Rui was the strongest among the five hundred soldiers in Nanying. This man was an authentic seed of a famous general. As long as he trained well, he would become a great general. During that time in the Western Region, he had been observing

Wei Rui's military ability is indeed better than others, but because he is too calm, it has always been difficult to see his heart clearly.

Until this moment, Wei Rui made an extremely rare move, impulsive on the surface but thoughtful in reality. He still had the calm and decisive temperament, but there was a hint of a chivalrous spirit.

Pei Yue asked again: "What if your family objects?"

Bringing up the marriage on his own initiative is second to none. The most important thing is that Wei Rui just said that he would choose an heir to inherit the business. It may not be easy for the Wei family to accept this kind of thing.

Facing the looks of the three people looking at them at the same time, Wei Rui said calmly and firmly: "I can convince them."

Pei Yue no longer questioned, nodded and said: "You go out first, I have a few words to say to the two elders."

After Wei Rui left, Pei Yue faced the nervous-looking father and mother of Shang and said slowly: "To be honest with you, I have always been very optimistic about Wei Rui's ability, and I believe in his character even more after today. When I was in Nan

The Marquis of Guangping had high hopes for him during the camp, and his subsequent performance did not disappoint. Now he is the commander of the Tibetan Front Guards, and he will definitely not be just a commander in the future."

A few words made Shang's father and Shang's mother worry about gain and loss. Shang's father said: "In that case, then this matter——"

Pei Yue interrupted him directly and asked with a smile: "Don't worry, you two. Although Wei Rui is twenty-four years old, he is not too old. I just want to ask you one question, are you satisfied with him?"

The couple looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Pei Yue said: "That's very good. Please come out and see me."

Shang Xiaomei is fifteen years old this year. It is not suitable for her to meet foreign men at this age. However, there are not too strict rules in the small business community, and Pei Yue's status is different, so she soon saw a girl with a delicate face.

There were tears on her plain face, obviously she was sad about the death of her brother, and she felt a little shy when she suddenly saw an outsider.

Pei Yue looked at her calmly, and then said to Father Shang: "Uncle, I want to adopt my younger sister as my foster sister."

"This is absolutely impossible. The Marquis is so kind and kind, and I am grateful, but I really can't agree to this. It is his blessing that Shang Yu can follow the Marquis. We have already received too much.

If you are not greedy enough, you will be punished by God!" Mr. Shang burst into tears and refused again and again.

Pei Yue took off a jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Miss Shang's hands without refusal. He said apologetically: "This happened unexpectedly. Brother, I didn't have time to prepare. This meeting gift is a bit shallow. Little sister, please bear with me. Wait.

After you have finished your work for a while, I will have someone pick you and your parents up to the Marquis Mansion, and we can formally sworn sworn brothers and sisters, okay?"

Shang Xiaomei didn't dare to refuse or agree, and stood there timidly.

Now that things have come to this, Shang's father and mother know that they cannot object, so they ask Shang's little sister to kowtow to express her gratitude, but Pei Yue naturally refuses.

"Master Marquis, your kindness to the businessman is so profound, even a humble man would repay you even if he was a cow or a horse." Shangfu said while wiping his tears.

Of course he knew the deep meaning of Pei Yue's move. Accepting his daughter as his adopted sister was equivalent to giving her an extremely noble background. In this way, after she married Wei Rui, even if the people in the Wei family felt uncomfortable, they would never dare to

Disrespecting the adopted sister of Marquis Zhongshan.

In this way, all the worries and concerns in their hearts disappeared.

After having a conversation with the middle-aged couple and settling the matter of Shang Yu's burial, Pei Yue stood up and left.

Before leaving, he looked back at the jar that Shang's mother put on the table, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and sighed softly in his heart.

He can give Shang's father and mother a healthy old age, he can recognize Shang's little sister as his adopted sister, add a very important bargaining chip to her destiny, he can give them endless money, and he can prevent them from suffering any more in this life.

Insulting, but he could not save the lives of those who died.

Including Shang Yu, a total of 4,726 Tibetan front guards were killed in the western border.

Life is like this, you can only move forward and cannot look back.
