Chapter 055
Wu Xiong entered the Zhang family courtyard in a furious manner and appeared directly in front of Zhang Liao.
"Brother Zhang family, you are very powerful recently. There are rumors in the entire Yanmen County that you killed Hu Yu outside the territory, and my ears are almost calloused." Wu Xiong joked with a calm smile.
Wu Xiong is Wu Qianniang's half-brother. Zhang Liao naturally met several times. The one he had the deepest contact with Wu Qianniang's eldest brother Wu Ying was when he was lured by Dong Zhuo as the county magistrate of Pingcheng. Zhang Liao could not be very close to the Wu brothers.
At first glance, I saw Wu Xiong wearing a brocade red dress and black dress. He was tied with a jade belt around his waist, and three sachets on his left and three-color flower belt on his right. In addition to the slightly heroic sword hanging on his waist, he looked slightly bloated and stool all over his body.
After saying hello, Zhang Liao asked directly: "Why did the Wu brothers come from?"
"The orioles are singing in the river island, and they are beautiful ladies and gentlemen." As soon as Wu Xiong said that, Zhang Liao knew his purpose.
Zhang Liao was not very interested in the proposal of marriage as his brother told him, but he had a vague guess in his heart, that the girl of the Wu family was very compatible with someone in his memory, but Guan Yu asked Cao Cao to take him as his wife but could not get it. Naturally, he had to see this strange beauty.
Zhang Liao asked casually: "What is strange about the Wu girl?"
"A graceful and graceful figure and graceful look like a stunning robe, he is a peerless beauty."
Wu Xiong changed his tone and said in confusion: "Do you don't know the praises of the Du girl when the younger brother of the Zhang family came to Du to propose marriage?"
Zhang Liao remained silent. Most of the so-called praises were done on purpose. How can we know the real situation that others have never seen before?
He could only smile and said, "Literacy is not worthy of faith."
"No, no."
Wu Xiong said confidently: "I think the rumors outside are not groundless, most of them are true. Do you know what the most surprising thing about the Du girl is?"
Zhang Liao showed an listening attitude, and Wu Xiong deliberately kept silent and smiled.
He urged in helplessly: "Speak whatever you have, don't hide it. Stop halfway through it. What's wrong with this!"
"It was the matter of the elders of the two families. This Du family girl is different from others. I heard that she has set up several major difficulties in the Du Mansion. As long as she can pass through it, she will be lucky enough to witness her true appearance. So far, the people who came to propose marriage have never seen what the Du family girl looks like. However, there are many people who returned in disappointment, and the Du family girl has become famous and is now well-known in Yanmen." Wu Xiong said with great enthusiasm.
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said generously: "Tell you a secret news. According to the words of the servants of the Du family, whoever is the first to be lucky enough to witness the beauty of the Du family girl is the one she married."
"So hasty?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the same time, he also understood that this is already very free than blind marriage.
Marriage in this era is nothing more than the orders of parents and matchmakers. It is extremely rare for me to take the initiative. The Du girl has already won the greatest freedom for herself. At least, she can choose her future husband through her own way, and she will never have to understand until the wedding night.
"How can we talk about it? It is said that the girl of the Du family is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is what she makes things difficult for others. All the good men in the surrounding counties are placed in front of her and let her choose. She has the final say whether she is satisfied or not. We can't even see her. She must be in secretly controlling everything about us. Do you still want to say that this is hasty? Is it okay for us to suffer?"
Wu Xiong was very indignant. He felt that Zhang Liao must have misunderstandings about the word "sloppy".
"Since that's the case, why did you come to propose marriage?" Zhang Liao had a strong smile.
"To put it nicely, I came to propose marriage, but to put it badly, I came here to be selected by Du Shi. It was like the silk satin in the silk shop. The Du girl's eyes on the ones were all decided by others, and we can't make the decision."
Wu Xiong said with confidence: "Many men in Yanmen have failed in the hands of the Wu family. Now everyone praises the Du family very well and is proud of it during the conversation and gatherings. If I don't come to join the party, I will seem unsociable. At the banquet in the future, everyone will talk about the process of proposing marriage in the Du family. If I ask questions, how can I still be among the children of the landlords and wealthy families?"
Zhang Liao pointed at himself and said, "I don't have this trouble."
"You are Kunpeng, flying high, I am a little swallow bird. I came to propose marriage to make a gift on my face. You are here to conquer the girl of the Wu family. How can I compare with you? In the future, whenever people who fail to propose marriage to the Du family see you, you will not take a detour. You are a thorn that lies in everyone's hearts." Wu Xiong was very resentful.
"I just came to see it with my purely curiosity. My brother and sister-in-law repeatedly told me that I would not come to Du." Zhang Liao's excuse was also one of the reasons.
"No matter what your purpose is to come to Du Shi, as long as I stand with you, I feel dim."
Wu Xiong looked at Zhang Liao and looked again and finally sighed: "Flying General of Yanmen, this is the nickname given to you by Governor Zhang. Now you are not only famous in Yanmen, but also a number one figure in Lord Zhang's heart."
Zhang Liao said disapprovingly: "It's better not to mention a nickname."
"This is not just about giving you a nickname. It means that you already have a certain weight in governor Zhang's heart. If you recruit you as an official in the future, your future will be bright."
Wu Xiong did not hide his envy at all and said sourly: "If my name can be heard by the governor, it would be a great blessing. In my opinion, I would probably not have this hope in this life."
"Yes, you must have such an opportunity." Zhang Liao patted Wu Xiong on the shoulder to show relief. Even if he could not help him realize his expectations now, he would definitely help him realize his wish in the future.
"Unless you have the ability to become the governor, it is impossible." Wu Xiong couldn't help laughing as soon as he spoke, and couldn't help but mutter: "How is that possible?"
Through this conversation with Wu Xiong, he had a relatively intuitive understanding of Wu Xiong.
He has lived in Pingcheng County for a long time and has been away from Zhang's Wubao for about three years. His deeds and reputation for killing Hu have long been well known to everyone, and the nickname of the Yanmen Flying General has been vaguely revealed.
This is Zhang Yi’s praise for him, but it is just a compliment, and there is no practical benefit, so he doesn’t care much about it.
At the same time, he knew that the title of flying general should be kept for Lu Bu, and he also blamed himself for being mean, but he added a nickname to the flying general in Longcheng as soon as he left.
But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing that two flying generals are moving forward together. One rises in Yanmen County, and the other will surely shine in Wuyuan County.
