Although Wu Nian was marrying a daughter, he was also marrying a daughter-in-law.

Because of the Wu family's insistence, the banquet was held at the Zhang family. However, Li Ya became a minister in the Wu family. The sedan chair, the wedding ceremony, and the dowry were also quite large.

Zhang Zhen, wearing a bright red wedding robe, rode on horseback to welcome the bride.

Zhang's house was full of guests. It was Wu's insistence. Although it was strange, Wu Nian took the high seat.

Under the instructions of the master of ceremonies.

Under the attention of the guests in the hall, Zhang Zhen and Li Ya first worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then the high hall. After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Zhen was supposed to lead Li Ya to the wedding room.

The couple knelt down again.

Without waiting for Wu Nian to react, Zhang Zhen kowtowed three times. When he raised his head, his forehead was red. He said with a grateful face, "My nephew was kicked out of the house when he was seven years old, and he and his mother took refuge with his uncle."

.My uncle raised his nephew and helped him to start his own business and get a wife."

"My uncle's kindness will never be forgotten by my nephew."

After saying that, Zhang Zhen kowtowed three more times. Under the red cloth hijab, Li Ya also wiped her tears and kowtowed to Wu Nian.

Wu was caught off guard, then showed a pleased smile and nodded repeatedly.

This uncle raised his nephew as a son. Uncle, uncle, this is a real father. This is what it should be. It should be.

With Wu Nian's experience and training in the army, he couldn't hold back at this moment. His eyes were slightly red, and he exhaled to suppress his mood.

He stood up and first helped Zhang Zhen, then Li Ya. He looked at the tall and strong Zhang Zhen and said, "They are all members of my family. Why are you talking about this?"

Immediately, at his urging, Zhang Zhen led Li Ya to the wedding room.

When the guests saw it, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Wu Nian put benevolence and righteousness first in his life and work. He was sincere and generous towards his own people, and he was tough against his enemies. Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Tieniu, Li Yong and other old brothers were all treated well by him.

Which one is not glory and wealth?

They had already heard that Zhang Zhen was raised by Wu Nian when he was not yet prosperous. Wu Nian's life may not have been easy back then, but he raised him as his nephew.

An ordinary uncle cannot do this.

It is precisely because of all these things that the small court of General Fuhan's Mansion has such great cohesion. It is not just because of "recovering Liaodong and expelling the Tartars".

It is precisely because of this cohesion.

When Wu Nian pretended to be ill, Liu Zhixing proposed that Wu Yu, Wu Nian's legitimate son, be appointed as an auxiliary general of the Han Dynasty and continue to lead the army in battles.

The officials who supported the Han generals at that time collectively agreed.

The honor of a gentleman will be cut off in five lifetimes.

"Come, come, come. Don't be polite, everyone. I won't come home until I'm drunk today." Wu Nian watched his daughter get married and his nephew get married. He was really happy and greeted everyone.

The guests listened and sat down with smiles.

A banquet was lively and lively.

However, Wu Nian was not really drunk. After drinking, he returned to Wu Mansion in a carriage.

Instead, Zhang Zhen was drunk.

Although this boy has no father and no kin, he has Lu Yanxun and others, many friends, and a wide network of contacts.

Early the next morning.

After Wu Nian opened his eyes, he groaned and felt a splitting headache. He smiled bitterly and asked Liu Xiang, who was guarding the room, to make some sobering tea.

After drinking the sobering tea and waking up for a while, he went to the outhouse and had breakfast. Then he rested for an hour, and then nothing happened.

When it was almost time for lunch, Zhang Zhen came.

Wu Nian received the news and came to the living room to see Zhang Zhen. He found that Lu Yanxun was also there. Wu Nian wanted to say, why did you come back today. After seeing Lu Yanxun, he knew it all.

After walking straight to the main seat and sitting down, Wu Nian asked with a smile: "Is something wrong?"

Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun stood up and saluted Wu Nian with clasped fists, then sat back. Zhang Zhen couldn't wait to say: "Uncle. As the saying goes, you have to get married and start a career."

"Now that I have a family, it's time to start a career. Besides, Yan Xun and I have grown up by practicing martial arts and studying. We want to join the army and ask my uncle for permission."

"General, please agree." Lu Yanxun also said with clasped fists.

Wu Nian looked at Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun, and his eyes stopped on the latter. This boy was the beggar leader he brought back when he sent troops to Mengyuan last time.

The leader of the Beggar Clan. He is very clever.

Over the years, he has been studying and practicing martial arts, and has developed extremely well, and his eyebrows are full of heroic spirit.

If it is Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun is a idiot, Wu Nian has no say. But both of them are very good, especially Zhang Zhen, whose martial arts is extremely outstanding and has great potential.

If jade is not carved, it cannot be used as a tool.

Since the man has great ambitions, it is a pity to stop him at home.

Wu Nian was very moved, but he still held it back, shook his head and said: "I passed it here, but for your mother, you have to say it yourself. If she doesn't agree, I won't talk about it."

Zhang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and then his expression fell. Mother? Mother only has one son, and I am a loving mother. How could she let me go to the battlefield?

Lu Yanxun opened his mouth, "What about me? I don't have parents, so I can make my own decisions." But he didn't dare to say it.

The two brothers left like this.

Wu Nian, Liu Xiang and the others had lunch and sat for a while. Then they waited for Wu, Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun.

Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were waiting outside the door, while Wu and Wu Nian sat in the living room to discuss.

Wu's eyes were red and she had obviously cried. Wu Nian looked at her and didn't say much.

"Brother, it's not up to the mother here. I agree to Zhen'er joining the army. It's just that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. I, I, I..."

At the end of the sentence, Wu was stammered and speechless, and her face turned red.

Wu Nian smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will take care of this boy. First, he can guard ten thousand households. Second, he can become my personal soldier."

"Wait for a few years of experience before promoting someone as appropriate."

At this point, Wu Nian's face became serious. He said in a deep voice: "But sister, whether you are guarding ten thousand households or my personal soldiers, there are risks in joining the army. There is no absolute safety."

"Although this boy is my nephew, I will not take too much care of him. Military achievements and official positions are all achieved with his hands."

"If he is a fool but is in a high position, it is a joke with his life and the lives of the soldiers. I will not do it."

In fact, Mrs. Wu didn't have high demands, as long as her son was safe and sound. She didn't understand the official position. But she had read a lot of storytellers and operas, and she knew that General Pussy led his troops to defeat, which led to a series of serious problems.

"Yeah." Wu nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Then the two siblings discussed it and decided to let Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and others practice beside Wu Nian, that is, as personal soldiers.

Mrs. Wu left in tears. Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were both happy. But Zhang Zhen was very filial and carefully supported Mrs. Wu while comforting her softly.

Zhang Zhen and Li Ya got married.

Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun joined the army.

Wu Nian's two garrison troops of ten thousand households in Guangyang Mansion and two ten thousand households of the Yalu River Navy were not idle either. One warship after another was launched into the water.

The army gradually became more elite.
