Chapter 206 Chapter 205 Joy
Unlike the gloom in the staff office, Li Ping's troops and support battalion were always filled with joy. The unprecedented victory made them full of optimism about the future.
They do not have access to comprehensive information, and many of them cannot understand the current situation. Even if a small number of them know that the situation is not optimistic, they basically do not care.
They blindly trust Li Ping, who continues to create miracles, and are used to being in bad environments.
No matter how bad it gets, can it still be worse than before?
Besides, it is a matter for the heads to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Ordinary officers, soldiers and the general public should be taught confidence and fearlessness. They need joy and encouragement, and they should also enjoy the fruits of victory.
A grand wedding was held as scheduled more than ten days after the capture of Qizhou.
This is what Li Ping promised. Not only did he come to congratulate him in person, he even gave special orders to do something grand.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a luxuriously decorated eight-carrying sedan carried the bride through the streets of Fuchi Town on the Yangtze River. Drums and music played in front of the sedan, and countless children chased and played behind the sedan.
Hu Zhongshan, wearing a bright red groom's suit, was riding on a horse with his face full of peach blossoms and frequently bowed to the booing crowd around him.
Although the procedure was inevitably simple, the application was very luxurious. The rich seizures from Qizhou and most of the utensils originating from the royal palace made this wedding full of wealth.
Even the large and magnificent house where the wedding was to be held originally belonged to a certain official and gentry. It was requisitioned and decorated and decorated with lights because people fled.
Li Ping's generosity allowed Hu Zhongshan to fulfill the promise he had made to his bride.
At this wedding, almost all the battalion and company-level officers of the army were present, as long as they were not far away in Qizhou or on combat readiness duty. Almost all the heads of the support battalion were also present. Even Xingguo Prefecture was stationed in Fuchi to assist various parties.
Most of the minor officials responsible for the affairs also came.
The victory in the Battle of Qizhou actually touched the officials, gentry and people of Xingguo Prefecture the most. The most direct manifestation was that their support for Li Ping further increased, and at the same time they became more enthusiastic and humble.
Anyway, in the end, although many tables were prepared for guests, there were still many people who were qualified to serve and had no place to sit.
As for Nuo Da's residence, it was even more crowded. More ordinary officers and soldiers, men and women from the support camp, and ordinary people who came to see the excitement could not enter the courtyard at all, and could only watch from outside.
It was absolutely packed with people and very lively.
When worshiping, Li Ping, who was the only one sitting at the top, noticed that Hu Zhongshan was crying. The old guy's tears could not be suppressed and covered his face. When he saluted Li Ping, he even bent down very low.
Li Ping didn't know whether Hu Zhongshan was moved because of his face, or was excited about marrying a noble lady, or both.
However, Li Ping knew that he was still a little embarrassed to sit on top and be worshiped by others. There was such a contrast in age between him and Hu Zhongshan.
But the two newcomers were very persistent.
Their parents and elders are not around, so the "Second Bowing to the High Hall" is either cancelled, or they can only worship the Lord instead.
Hu Zhongshan strongly requested that Li Ping sit in the venerable seat, and he went to Li Ping many times to complain about this.
Finally, Li Ping stopped refusing.
You can't get married without wine. Li Ping specially approved that you can prepare more wine for Hu Zhongshan's wedding banquet and prepare enough wine.
And the wine also made the atmosphere more lively.
Not long after the banquet started, Hu Zhongshan went against the norm and rushed back to the new house to pick out the bride's hijab, and then without hesitation, he pulled the bride out to toast Li Ping and everyone.
One was proud of the spring breeze, while the other was shy, which made countless others envious and pushed the banquet to a higher climax.
Hu Zhongshan, who rarely had the opportunity to drink and was not a strong drinker, soon became drunk.
"Sir, I, Lao Hu, have married a wife and will have children soon. Things will start tonight. I never thought that this day would come... Wuwu... You should also choose a mistress for us.
Now, we can’t delay the birth of a baby..." Hu Zhongshan grabbed Li Ping's hand and said inarticulately.
He had been chatting with Li Ping for a while, and he was getting more and more clueless.
"Lao Hu, you drank too much. I ask you to take a rest for a while." The bride, Yang Xiuqin, was full of embarrassment and was desperately tugging at Hu Zhongshan's clothes.
"I didn't drink too much. I was talking to the general about what was on my mind!" Hu Zhongshan turned around and pulled off Yang Xiuqin's white and delicate hand, then turned back to look at Song Baolai and said, "Sir Song, is that what I said?"
That’s right.”
"Yes, everything you said is right." Song Baolai said while holding back a smile.
At this time, Lu Liang, who was sitting at the same table, suddenly stood up and apologized to Li Ping: "Sir, there are many comrades over there waiting to toast the bridegroom with official wine. Can I help Director Hu over there for a while?"
Seeing Li Ping nod, Lu Liang immediately picked up Hu Zhongshan and left without any explanation. The bride also hurriedly took the opportunity to follow him and fled as fast as he could.
"Old Hu is lucky, this woman is good." Li Ping sighed as he looked at the graceful back of the bride.
But Song Baolai suddenly changed the topic at this moment: "Is it time for you to coax Gao Lei? Her face has not been very good these days. You need to lower your head first for this matter."
After saying that, Song Baolai blinked at the cubicle next to the lobby. It was a place where female guests were alone.
Li Ping was stunned for a moment. He followed Song Baolai's eyes and glanced at the cubicle, and then he asked something strange: "Let's go for a walk by the river! I drank a little too much and I want to sober up."
Song Baolai was also stunned. He knew Li Ping's drinking capacity, so this amount of wine should be nothing to him.
However, the obviously evasive looks of Duan Qiang and Ma Lan at the same table made him understand immediately.
And when he looked at the many guests in the distance who were holding wine glasses and looking here, he suddenly realized.
Many people are waiting to toast Li Ping and wait for this golden opportunity.
Song Baolai knew very well that Li Ping was not a drinker, and he was not willing to get drunk on such an occasion, so he hurriedly got up and accompanied Li Ping out of the noisy wedding scene.
"Some are happy and some are sad! We are going to have a baby tonight. Lao Hu's baby is probably about to be born. I wonder if his newly married wife knows about it!" Song Baolai, who was walking by the river, came to meet the guards who were following him.
After retreating from a distance, he smiled playfully and spoke.
Although the cannon has not yet been built, Song Baolai's dark circles have disappeared and he is becoming more and more energetic.
After Qizhou was captured, Song Baolai slept better and better every day and woke up later and later. Li Ping was jumping anxiously, but this guy was so optimistic that the world was at peace.
"Is that the fat lady Ma who has a very big son?" Li Ping said with some surprise.
"Yes, that's the woman with the perky breasts. Her son's name is Da Zhuang. She must have been pregnant before you hit Hu Zhongshan." Song Baolai continued to say with a smile.
Li Ping suddenly shook his head, and then he also laughed and said: "A big butt is easy to give birth to, and the birth will be more accurate. Hu Zhongshan is not young, so it is understandable that he was anxious at the beginning, and the choice was also very realistic. These days are not filial.
There are three, and the greatest thing is to have no heirs. His new daughter-in-law will not say anything even if she knows what to do, and we can't take it too seriously."
"I think so too." Song Baolai nodded in agreement.
Obviously, Song Baolai only told Li Ping this secret about Hu Zhongshan at this time, and he probably didn't take it seriously before.
Ma is not a big girl. It is human nature and her freedom to be willing to hook up with others temporarily. Women like her are not uncommon in the security camps. As for being pregnant, in this era of lack of contraceptive methods
Not even surprising.
"What about you? Are you ready?" Li Ping glanced sideways at Song Baolai and suddenly asked mischievously.
"Cough, cough!" Song Baolai was startled and coughed twice, then looked at Li Ping with a constipated expression and said: "I have measures, I have already done it, and I have been counting the days. I, I
I haven’t planned to be a father yet.”
"Count the days!" Li Ping murmured, his eyes a little wandering.
Song Baolai asked strangely: "What's wrong? It can't be done! What do you want me to do if I don't have the technical conditions?"
"Nothing else, I'm just thinking about Wang Xiaofeng, why isn't she pregnant?" Li Ping asked doubtfully.
"That's right! Could it be that they also used tricks? Stupid Liu Qiang shouldn't do it!" Song Baolai also scratched his head in wonder.
But soon, Song Baolai's eyes flashed again and he said: "Don't just talk about others. What should I do about you and Gao Lei? Do you really want to cajole me?"
Li Ping also started to hold back his food this time. After a long time, he said leisurely: "How to coax? There are some things I cannot go against."
"Then what do you think is going on? It can't just be like this! And what do you mean by bringing Li Jing back to your side?" Song Baolai wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"I don't know what's going on, just leave it like that! It doesn't matter where you can go." Li Ping became a little irritable.
Seeing that Li Ping was in a mood, Song Baolai didn't know what to say.
The words have been brought to him, and he has tried his best, so he must finish talking. He knows very well that no matter how close the relationship is, there are some things that cannot really be broken and asked to the end.
What's more, he was the only three people besides the person involved who knew what happened that night, and Li Ping told him personally, so Song Baolai knew better.
"How about Qian Ying? I think he's much better than those Yingying Yanyans of yours." As expected, Li Ping started to change the topic of which one he didn't mention.
Song Baolai could only blush and said: "It's really good. But our relationship is really purely working."
"Tch!" Li Ping's face was full of disbelief.
"Why don't you just transfer Liu Xiaohui back? She did a good job at my place, but it's not the same thing. And if time goes by and you want to transfer back again, it will be harder to find a reason."
Song Baolai began to change sides quickly.
Li Ping glanced at Song Baolai in surprise and meaningfully, then let out a long sigh, then shook his head and said, "You don't understand two different things."
"Why don't I understand? Tell me!" Song Baolai was so excited that he became dissatisfied.
But Li Ping undoubtedly changed the subject and said: "We won't talk about this anymore. If you have some free time, think more about the military coupons! They must be issued as soon as possible. There are also artillery. What is the situation now?"
"Forehead…"
Seeing that the conversation was getting down to business, Song Baolai paused. He needed to reorganize his thoughts and language.
…
Wang Xiaofeng waited for a long time at Li Ping's residence in Fuchi Town.
She tidied Li Ping's room over and over again, folded the clothes over and over again, and boiled pot after pot of water, but there was still no sign of Li Ping.
To be continued...
