Chapter 65: Zhao Heng's Marriage
This was the first time that Zhao Heng saw so many people when he traveled to this world. He was looking at the refugees with interest when his father, Zhao Fuxiang, came over from behind.
Zhao Fuxiang was followed by the human tooth Zheng Song. This guy was rescued by Zhao Fuxiang yesterday. During the turmoil a few days ago, Zheng Song's property on the dock was burned down. However, Zheng Song luckily escaped because his home was in the city.
But those who hide in front cannot hide those behind. Because Zheng Song usually makes a living by selling refugees, so this time the government, in order to win over the refugees, arrested Zheng Song together and treated him as a traitor to the White Lotus Sect waiting to be executed.
.
Zheng Songke was frightened to death. He quickly spent all his property to hire someone to clear the situation. Finally, through his own channels, he learned that only Mr. Zhao could save him. He quickly asked his friends to find Zhao Fuxiang, hoping that Mr. Zhao could save him.
In fact, Zhao Fuxiang had already forgotten about this human trafficker, but when he heard that this guy was also involved, he decided to save him. Of course, it wasn't that Zhao Fuxiang was so kind, but that he took a fancy to Zheng Song's ability, which was human trafficking.
Zheng Song is very experienced in looking at people. He can tell any hidden diseases in strong men at a glance. Therefore, Zheng Song personally selected the thousand people today to ensure that they do not have any diseases.
Zhao Fuxiang was discussing with Zheng Song what to do next. Zhao Fuxiang said: "Zheng Song, first find a few people to build a shack outside the village entrance and let these guys go bathe in the river first. Didn't you prepare old clothes?
?Put them on when you’re done!”
Zheng Song nodded and said, "Sir, what about those who don't have clothes? In this weather, they will freeze if they are naked!"
Zhao Fuxiang looked around and saw that there was nothing else on Haidian Island. There were banana trees and coconut trees. Zhao Fuxiang pointed to the leaves of the trees and said: "Let them cover it with leaves first. I will send people to the city to purchase used clothes tomorrow!"
"There is still food. Zheng Song, please prepare some food for these refugees so that they can quickly recover their strength. Also, you can find the madam to prepare some anti-worm medicine for them. After all, you are not here to raise an uncle.
, they still need to work!”
Zheng Song listened to Zhao Fuxiang and nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it. Zhao Fuxiang was very satisfied when he saw Zheng Song like this. What he needed was subordinates who could execute unconditionally. Although Zheng Song had never read a book and didn't understand any big principles, his execution ability was quite good.
First-class, he can firmly implement whatever Zhao Fuxiang says, which is one of the main reasons why Zhao Fuxiang is willing to save him.
Zhao Heng saw his father, Zhao Fuxiang, standing on one side gesticulating, followed by Fan Jian and another middle-aged man, nodding and bowing, and saying flattering words from time to time. This look was very similar to that of later generations of leaders who went to the countryside to inspect work, while the scoundrels sang praises on the side.
Zhao Heng held back his laughter, came to Zhao Fuxiang and asked: "Dad, you are back!"
Zhao Fuxiang was a little embarrassed that his son had interrupted his pretense dream, so he said to Zheng Song: "Okay, go ahead and do it. If you have any questions, come to me!"
After his men left, Zhao Fuxiang put down his leadership arrogance and asked with a smile: "Son, how are these people doing? Didn't your father say that he is short of manpower? I got a thousand people back this time, which will be enough for your father for a while.
!”
"These refugees are really good, Dad! Are those teenagers in their 17s and 18s prepared for me?"
Zhao Fuxiang turned around and looked at the one hundred young people aged 17 or 18. In the Ming Dynasty, adults reached adulthood at the age of fifteen, so these young people were all strong men.
"Yes, your five-person team should also be expanded, so I have selected a hundred suitable candidates for you. However, you cannot take all of these hundred people. I can only give you fifty people at most, but you can let
You choose first!”
Zhao Heng saw that the physical fitness of these 100 people was good. Although one was skinny, after a month of supplementing nutrition, they were all very good.
"Why can't you give them all to me? Don't the factories have enough manpower?"
Zhao Fuxiang sighed and said: "I want to form a joint defense team with the remaining fifty people. Our family business is getting bigger and bigger, so we always need people to patrol at night, right? There is also Xinbu Island, the sugar factory is on the island, and more patrols are needed at night.
We need people to watch, and we can't afford the loss if pirates come up to rob us! I just told Fan Jian's father, Fan Tong, to ask his eldest son to find a few strong men in the army to train the remaining five.
Ten people, if you can’t serve as a soldier, then you can be a housekeeper and a housekeeper, which is pretty good!”
Zhao Heng understood as soon as he heard it. He was planning to form a patrol at this time, but that's right. He was a regular force, so how could he help him patrol and keep vigil? In addition, Zhao Heng had seen Fan Tong with a few people in the past few days.
His men were wandering around. Not only were they very skinny, but they were already very old. Not to mention the pirates who had landed, they were so tired that they were sweating just after walking around the island. They were really not the type to be patrollers.
Zhao Heng said: "Just do as you say, Dad! But when will they be under my control?"
Zhao Heng saw these people eager to try, and Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "It will probably take three or two days anyway. At least I need to regain my strength first!"
When Zhao Fuxiang said this, he suddenly remembered Zhao Heng's marriage and said, "By the way, I'll go home for dinner tonight and I'll discuss something with your mother!"
Zhao Heng was very confused, why should he be present?
"Dad, what's going on? Can't I just go back?"
Zhao Fuxiang scolded: "I'm doing this all for you! I've worked so hard to arrange a marriage for you. It just so happens that I don't have anything to do tomorrow. You and I will go to her house together. Your future father-in-law wants to see you!"
"What? Get married? I'm only twenty, why did I get married so early? I won't go, you have to go by yourself!"
Zhao Heng was unhappy when he heard that this stupid old man of his had arranged a marriage for him. He was only twenty years old and hadn't had enough fun yet. How could he be tied down by marriage and family so early?
After Zhao Heng finished speaking, he shook his head and left. An angry Zhao Fuxiang cursed behind him: "I don't care, you must go home tonight. If you don't go home, don't recognize me as your father!"
Although Zhao Heng was reluctant and didn't want to get married so early, what could he do after his father said so? Zhao Heng could only place his hope in his mother and grandma, hoping that his two relatives would stand by him tonight.
Speak for yourself.
Zhao Heng accompanied the Five King Kongs for training in the afternoon and returned to his home in the evening. A table of dishes had been prepared at home. The Zhao family was different from when he first traveled through time. Zhao Fuxiang hired a cook to stay at home and also bought some food.
The two maids liberated Sun Jing from manual labor.
Sun Jing was talking to Zhao Fuxiang about purifying the refugees. Seeing that her precious son was back, she quickly got up and served a bowl of rice to her son. She smiled and said: "My dear, please sit down quickly! The braised pork tonight is just for you."
You did it! You said that our family lives on an island and we can’t see each other every day. Why is it so hard!”
Zhao Heng was thinking about eating, so he asked as soon as he sat down: "Grandpa, grandma, mom! I'll tell you the truth, I won't get married. If I want to marry you, let dad do it!"
Zhao Zhikuan and others didn't know what was going on. They were confused by what Zhao Heng said. Sun Jing frowned and asked: "What marriage? Who wants to get married?"
Zhao Heng pointed at his father and said, "Ask my dad. When he came back today, he said he had found a marriage for me and asked me to follow him to the city to visit my father-in-law tomorrow!"
Zhao Fuxiang saw that his family members were all looking at him and smiled: "I was just talking about business and forgot about it. This time I went to the city to meet an elder brother who was the governor of Fucheng. He had a daughter who was a concubine and was already seventeen.
Now, I saw that Zhao Heng was old enough, so I decided to get him married!"
Just when Zhao Fuxiang said that his family was not happy at all, Zhao Zhikuan scolded: "I'm confused. How old is Zhao Heng? You just want to marry him. And have you seen that girl? Do you know what her character is? I don't know how to make a happy marriage in the future."
?”
The old man Zhao Zhikuan lost his love and ran to the Northeast to go to college. He found a wife in a daze and let it go. However, he had suffered enough in his life of not having a common language, so when it came to his grandson's marriage, he believed that both parties must have a relationship foundation.
Zhao Zhikuan's wife, Ma Guilan, doesn't really advocate any emotional foundation. He and Zhao Zhikuan met on a blind date back then, and they got married within a month of meeting. Aren't they quite happy after marriage? But it would be bad if this wife's family background was too strong.
Then his precious grandson will suffer! Just now Zhao Fuxiang said that the family was a member of the family, and he sounded like a local gentry. Wouldn’t the daughter of such a wealthy family have the temperament of a lady?
How could Ma Guilan be willing for her precious grandson to suffer after marriage? She also objected: "Son, do you understand clearly? Is this in-laws a local tyrant and evil gentry? Is that girl spoiled? Wouldn't it be wrong for our baby to marry such a wife?
Are you going to suffer?"
Ma Guilan's words were both a gun and a stick. When Zhao Fuxiang got married, she looked down on Sun Jing's natal family. Although Zhao Zhikuan was not a big cadre, he was among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and was a senior engineer at the power plant at the time.
Although Ma Guilan herself is an agronomist, she also has the title of associate professor and is also a senior intellectual. However, Sun Jing's family is only a small leader at the municipal level. He is full of bureaucratic stench. In addition, Sun Jing has the temperament of a young lady. If it weren't for Zhao Fuxiang,
Seeing Sun Jing's beauty, Ma Guilan would never agree to Sun Jing's marriage.
Sun Jing certainly heard what her mother-in-law was saying, but now he had no time to care about such bad things. His son's life-long affairs were the most important thing at the moment.
Although Sun Jing and her mother-in-law Ma Guilan are at odds with each other, they are surprisingly consistent in finding a wife for Zhao Heng, that is, they must not find a lady from a wealthy family. After entering the house, they will not do anything, and they will be sick every day like Lin Daiyu.
Who can bear to be unhappy?
"Zhao Fuxiang, how dare you decide on such a big matter yourself without coming back to discuss it with us?"
Sun Jing's arrogant questioning made Zhao Fuxiang very embarrassed. After all, Zhao Fuxiang is now considered a figure and is also the guest of the prefect in Fucheng. His status is different from before.
Zhao Fuxiang put down his chopsticks and frowned and asked: "What do you, a girl, know? Such a big thing can only be done by men!"
Zhao Fuxiang had stirred up a hornet's nest. Sun Jing scolded: "Zhao Fuxiang, have you grown up? If you dare to talk to me like this, are you looking for a wife in the city?"
Zhao Fuxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Where is this? Why are you bringing this up again! To tell you the truth, Zhao Heng is a political marriage. The Zhang family is very powerful. If we want to develop stably, we must rely on Zhang
