A day ago, Li Li's resounding words in the lobby of the mansion shocked the civil and military officials under his command as if deafening.

At that time, the wise and conspiring people in the hall, such as Li Xuan and Jia Xu, were secretly surprised, while the generals such as Huan Fei, Dian Wei, and Teng Yu were excited and excited, and became more and more awe of Li Li, and regarded him as a god.

But no matter what these civil and military officials think, Li Li said it as he pleased and said the words hidden in his heart. However, he only said a small part, and his greater purpose was not explained. Because these secrets are not humane, they can only be verified one by one after the incident. At that time, the civil and military officials under him may understand his true intentions.

Putting aside many matters, Li Li began to prepare for his marriage.

Today is the last day before the wedding.

Early in the morning, Li Li was driven out of the backyard by Dian Wuxia and others. He couldn't even go back to the backyard to sleep tonight, so he could only stay in the front yard room and be neighbors with Li Zhi, Tietuo, Li Xuan and others.

According to etiquette, before the wedding, the husband and wife cannot meet, and they can only meet after the wedding day.

Because of the special circumstances, the five women including Li Xin, Cai Yan, Dian Wuxia, Chen Yu and Ren Hongchang were together with Li Li day and night without any taboos. But now the wedding is imminent, and in order to avoid being criticized, the five women gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and cruelly drove Li Li out.

It is said that even Cai Yan will return to Cai's mansion in the afternoon and stay in her parents' house temporarily tonight. Li Li sent someone to marry him tomorrow. Ren Hongchang should have been like this, but unfortunately Li Li is now full of conflicts with Wang Yun, and he does not want Ren Hongchang to show up in front of others, so he let her live with Li Xin, Dian Wuxia and Chen Yu in the backyard. Tomorrow, the four of them will go out from the back door in a sedan chair, then walk around Longxiang's Li's mansion for a while, then come in from the main gate, and walk through the motions to rectify their reputation.

Li Li complained about this, thinking that getting married is just a marriage, why bother to do this? But in order to reassure the women, he had to let them do whatever they wanted.

From the early morning, there were crowds in the backyard, and hundreds of servants and soldiers were busy coming and going. They cleaned the entire corner of the backyard ditch, and dozens of rooms had to be thoroughly cleaned from the inside to the outside until the backyard was completely renovated.

This scene made Li Li shook his head, and then he reluctantly took Li Zhi and Tietuo away from the backyard and stayed back to the front yard. It is said that after waiting for a while, Li Jue would take a few ministers invited from the palace to teach him the etiquette of getting married, so as not to break the rules and make people laugh.

Faced with such troublesome red tape, Li Li was one and two big, smiling bitterly, but helpless.

Now the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are talking about his marriage to six wives this time.

It can be said that rumors are flying everywhere and people are crowded everywhere.

This is the first new thing in the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It has always been three wives and four concubines, but I didn’t expect that General Li Li, the Cavalry, would be the first to marry six wives at once. This is really new!

The power of rumors is really amazing. Let’s not talk about it for now. Just say that Li Jue and Cai Yong have accepted this fact before, but they can’t stand it now, driven by rumors. For this reason, they repeatedly discussed with Li Li whether they could change the six wives to three wives and three concubines. In this way, there is nothing to discuss with others, in line with etiquette and not afraid of others’ words.

But Li Li was indifferent to this, turned a blind eye to rumors, and continued to do his own things and not change his original intention.

Look, in the study, Li Jue once again muttered in front of Li Li.

"Wenchang, just listen to your uncle's advice and marry six wives at once. There is indeed no such precedent since the founding of the Han Dynasty! Now people on the streets are talking about your marriage and gossip. There are people who say anything, and some even cursed and secretly threw stones and rotten vegetables into our mansion. My uncle is quite upright, but the servants complain and complain in their hearts." Li Jie said with a bitter face.

"Hahaha!" Li Li couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you too kind and ruthless? Why no one in my house dares to throw stones?"

Li Jue pretended to be angry and said with a face on the floor: "Don't laugh first, be serious, uncle is telling you the serious business! Uncle, I think so. Li Xin, Hongchang and Dong Wan are wives, Wuxia, Cai Yan and Chen Yu are concubines, what do you think this is the case?"

"Well, why did my uncle think so? Is it because Li Xin is the girl of the two heroes of Taohua Village, Hongchang is the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun, Dong Wan is the beloved daughter of Dong Xiangguo? Or Cai Yan is a widow, Chen Yu's family is declining, and Dian Wuxia is the daughter of the barbarians?" Li Li frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Li Jue knew that his nephew was unhappy, but he still had to say what he should say. Seeing that the wedding date was tomorrow, I won’t say it now, it would be too late to say anything tonight!

"Wenchang, why don't you understand! Marrying a wife and taking concubines is not a big deal. Look at all the civil and military officials in the court who don't have three wives and four concubines, but only when you are here, people are talking about it. Why do you have to do this? My uncle knows that you love Wuxia and others very much, but now it's time to make up for it, so you can only feel wronged. After marriage, you just need to pamper them very much and make up for it. You say, "Uncle, I have advised you many times, and I have worn out my mouth for this, why are you still indifferent?"

Li Jue's words were earnest and thoughtful, forcing Li Li to think carefully and make careful choices.

In fact, Li Li had long considered this matter repeatedly. Take the decision made by Li Li after careful consideration. Although he claimed that he would let Dian Wuxia, Cai Yan, Chen Yu and Li Xin discuss who to be the eldest wife, in fact, he had a long time in his mind, and Cai Yan and other women were also very understanding and eventually pushed Li Xin out.

Li Li chose Li Xin as his wife based on multiple considerations.

First of all, her brother Li Xuan has extraordinary talent, and is both first-class in government affairs and wisdom, and is Li Li's most capable arm.

Secondly, Teng Xiao and Teng Yu are her cousins, and the cousins ​​are one family, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons. In addition, there are several intermediate generals in Taohua Village, and Meng Chong is the most outstanding. Because of this, the people from Taohua Village occupy a heavier and heavier share in the Wuwei army. Li Li must not ignore this point, but should pay special attention to it.

Finally, and most importantly, Li Xin is not only outstanding in appearance but extraordinary, but also kind-hearted, graceful and fair in her work, which is highly praised by Li Li.

It was precisely based on this consideration that Li Li finally decided to make Li Xin the main room and the head of the backyard.

Compared with Li Xin, Cai Yan and Dian Wuxia are actually not inferior. But both of them are not suitable for being a wife for this or that, and the same is true for the two daughters of Chen Yu and Ren Hongchang.

As for Dong Wan who joined the middle, it is logical that she is most suitable for being a real wife, but unfortunately the person she wants to marry is Li Li. In Li Li's mind, anyone can be a real wife, but Dong Wan can't do it. No matter how good she is, she can't go down to earth. The reason why she is most suitable for being a real wife is because she has a powerful father, and for this reason, Li Li must not let her be a real wife. Otherwise, Li Li's hard work for more than a year will be wasted, and the negative losses are immeasurable, and it will even directly ruin his way to survive in troubled times.

After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Li Li said to Li Jue with a serious face: "Uncle, my nephew has recognized your good intentions and earnest feelings. But I have decided to get married and will definitely not change it. No matter whether it is a three-wife and four concubine or a dozen concubines, I only have one thought: that is, since others can have three-wife and four concubines, why can't I marry six wives!

The reason I did this is actually very simple, it was just to give my woman the title of a wife. In fact, there is still a distinction between them, not to be a clique, nor will it fight openly and secretly, causing peace in the family. My women may not always live in harmony, and maybe they will have a day of fighting with each other, but as long as they understand one thing, that is, Li Li, I have never treated them badly, and I will give them what I can give them, and I will try to give them.

As long as they are happy, I will never be stingy with the status they should have. Even if they are not tolerated by the world, I will do whatever I want. Just a wife is just a name, why bother to be upset?

This matter is settled, so my uncle doesn’t need to persuade him anymore.”

"Oh, why are you still so stubborn? Well, since you insist on doing this, I won't say much anymore. But I have to remind you that this is the case only once, I won't be the case!" Li Jue sighed.

"Hahaha! Uncle is too worried. It's enough for me to have six of them accompany me in this life. How can I marry and take concubines again?" Li Li said with a smile.

Li Jue shook his head and said, "What are you saying? Now you have established your own family and will grow up and have more children. The more children you have, the better. My uncle will definitely support you to take more concubines and have children for you. Moreover, you are romantic by nature. I am afraid that there will be women who fall in love with you in the future. However, my uncle will definitely not support you to marry a wife again. The woman who comes in the future can only be a concubine and will never be a wife. There is no discussion on this matter. As long as my uncle still lives in the world, he will not indulge you to be so willful!"

"Okay, my nephew will definitely do it. This is only once, so I won't be the case!" Li Li promised with a smile.

Seeing that Li Li had already made a promise, Li Jie's expression gradually relaxed and said with a smile: "Wenchang, the Prime Minister will also host the wedding for you tomorrow. You must not be rude at that time. The ministers brought to you this time are all royal people who are proficient in etiquette. You will learn from them later. This is also a big deal, and you must not neglect them."

"Ah!" Li Li screamed in surprise and said helplessly with a bitter face: "Abide by the order, let my uncle worry, and my nephew must study hard."

Li Jue could see that his nephew's words were wrong, so he decided to stare here this morning until Li Li fully learned it and he would go back. (To be continued)
