Xue Rengui's hometown is Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong. Although it is not very far from Taiyuan, it is not very close. After all, transportation in ancient times was extremely backward. Many people lived within a radius of dozens of miles from birth to death. So Li Xiu was always wondering why Xue Rengui suddenly ran to Taiyuan?

Xue Rengui did not hide anything from Li Xiu. In fact, he came to Taiyuan mainly for his own marriage. Although he was almost twenty years old this year, he had not yet gotten married. After all, he had eaten up a well-off family. Now his family only has a broken yard and there are still a few acres of thin land left. He couldn't even raise it himself, let alone marrying and having children.

Fortunately, when Xue Rengui's father Xue Gui was alive, he had signed a baby marriage for him. Both parties even exchanged marriage letters. The woman was from the Liu family in Hedong and was considered a match at the beginning. However, now the Xue family is in decline, while the Liu family is not bad and has always lived in Taiyuan City.

Originally, Xue Rengui should have married the little lady Liu, but a few years ago, Xue Rengui's mother passed away, so he had to mourn for three years. It was not until the mourning period was over some time ago that he remembered his marriage. It was only after so many years that he had not contacted the Liu family, so he didn't know if the Liu family was still in Taiyuan, and he didn't know if the little lady Liu was already married? So he just came to try his luck.

Xue Rengui only arrived in Taiyuan yesterday and almost entered the city with Li Xiu and the others. However, Taiyuan City is so big, the Liu family in Hedong is also a big family. Many people with the surname Liu live in Taiyuan. Xue Rengui only knows the name of his prospective father-in-law, but he doesn't know where he lives. In addition, his money has been spent, so he has not eaten since yesterday. Until he saw those Hu people competing with arrows, he wanted to make some money and at least fill his stomach.

After hearing what Xue Rengui had happened, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little silenced. However, he thought that Xue Rengui's wife seemed to be surnamed Liu in history. It seemed that his marriage with the Liu family was also successful, and the Liu family was not simple. It was she who persuaded Xue Rengui to join the army, which made Xue Rengui famous in the battle and thus became one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.

"Shi Zhuangshi, since you came to get married and you don't have a place to live now, so why not go to my place first. In addition, I can also ask local officials to help you find it. It's much faster than if you go alone!" Li Xiu said again.

"This... this is absolutely impossible. Today's meal has cost you Duke. How can I take advantage of you?" Xue Rengui stood up again and refused. He didn't like to take advantage of others, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Li Xiu.

"He's polite, Xue Zhuangshi. Actually, my child has wanted to learn martial arts and archery skills twice just now. Speaking of which, my son is very naughty and doesn't study hard. Instead, he is very interested in practicing martial arts. So if Xue Zhuangshi doesn't dislike him, can he be my son's martial arts instructor and give him some advice on his martial arts?" Li Xiu said again at this time, and Li Jin's words just happened to give him an excuse for Xue Rengui.

"This..." Xue Rengui showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, because he thought that Li Xiu was just staying in Taiyuan for the time being and would definitely return to Chang'an in the future. If he really agreed to the other party, he might have to move to Chang'an in the future, which made him a little confused for a while.

"Shi Zhuangshi, in fact, in my opinion, you are a person who is born suitable for serving in the military. Of course, you have the fate of a mother, so you must first get married before starting a career. After all, it is the most important to continue the incense. However, if you want to revive the Xue family's family, you still have to enter the military to work hard. If you follow me to Chang'an, I can recommend you to study at the military academy in the future, where you can learn various military tactics, and there are also military generals to explain to you. After graduation, you will become a general immediately. This is much better than working from the bottom!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time.

After several years of operation, the military academy has developed very smoothly. The first few batches of graduates have also worked in the army. These students not only learn military tactics, but also have to be instilled with various ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. This is also what Li Xiu secretly suggested to Li Shimin. After all, the army must be loyal to the country, otherwise it will cause chaos. However, there are still few generals and officials who graduate from the military academy now, and there has not been a scale in the army for the time being. Therefore, the influence of the military academy may still take years to accumulate before it can be revealed.

"Military academy!" Xue Rengui obviously knew what the military academy was. After all, Hedong was stationed in heavy troops to guard against grassland people going south, so he occasionally contacted people in the army. Naturally, he had heard of the military academy. He might not know anything else, but he knew that the people who came out of the military academy were at least a team leader, and there was a great chance of promotion in the future. I heard that many people in the army had squeezed their heads to enter the military academy.

Thinking of the above, Xue Rengui couldn't help but show a heart-warming expression. After all, he was a poor boy, and his family had almost nothing but a few acres of thin land. He also wanted to marry and have children. However, with his current situation, even if he married a wife, he could only let the other party suffer with him. But if Li Xiu was promoted now, at least he would not have to worry about his future life.

"Thank you for your grace. As long as the young master doesn't dislike you, I am willing to give you all my martial arts!" Xue Rengui nodded without hesitation and agreed. After all, no one can refuse such generous conditions.

"That's great!" Li Jin began to stare at Xue Rengui, who was hesitant when Li Xiu said he wanted to ask Xue Rengui to be his martial arts instructor. Now when he saw the other party agreeing, he jumped up and cheered.

"Hahahaha~, it is also the responsibility of us ministers to recommend talents to the country. Mr. Xue doesn't have to be too polite. However, before that, you should find your fiancée first and then let you get married as soon as possible!" Li Xiu laughed at the moment when he saw his son's happy look.

Xue Rengui thanked him again when he heard this, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment. He was a filial son. Compared to his future, he hoped to fulfill his mother's last wish as soon as possible. Of course, he was also very excited about marrying a wife.

At that moment, Li Xiu took Xue Rengui back to his residence and immediately went to find the Taiyuan Governor Li Chujie who was receiving them, and asked the other party to help find a man named Liu Shilin. This person is Xue Rengui's expectant father-in-law. He held an official position in Taiyuan more than ten years ago, but I don't know if he has been transferred now?
