When Zhang Side saw his younger brother entering the house, he quickly took his hand and asked, "Second brother, how about Zhao Heng?"

Seeing how anxious his sister was, Zhang Hongsi smiled and said, "Sister, why are you so anxious to get married?"

When his brother brought up his thoughts, Zhang Side laughed and scolded: "How dare you make fun of my sister!" After saying that, he went up and pinched the brother.

After Zhang Hongsi dodged with a smile, he said: "Zhao Heng is quite tall, a head and a half taller than his younger brother, seven feet tall! He looks pretty good, similar to Mrs. Sun, but his skin is a bit dark.

, I heard Zhao Heng say that he led troops to train every day, but he was exposed to the sun!"

When Zhang Side heard that Zhao Heng was still leading troops, he asked curiously: "Isn't he the son of a merchant? Why is he still leading troops? Is he a military household?"

Zhang Hongsi smiled and said: "Sister, you don't know how big this guy's heart is. He said that he wanted to be Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and that he wanted to seal the wolf as a coward and solve the slave-building problem once and for all! You also know our father's character. He was so embarrassed by this Zhao Heng

After just a few words, my eyes sparkled, and I agreed to your marriage right then and there!"

Unlike her younger brother who was a scholar, every girl has a heroic dream in her heart, hoping that one day her husband will marry her on a horse. Now that he heard that his fiancé has such ambitions, how can Zhang Side be dissatisfied?

"Second brother, you just look down on military households. Now that the north has become like this, men of your generation are needed to join the army. I feel that Zhao Heng is very responsible!"

When Zhang Hongsi heard what his sister said, he smiled and said: "Sister, why are you helping outsiders before you get married? If you are going to marry and become the wife of the Zhao family, won't you forget about my younger brother?"

After Zhang Hongsi laughed, he began to think deeply. After a while, he said: "Sister, this Zhao Heng gives me a different feeling!" Zhang Hongsi thought for a while and then said: "I can't describe what I feel, but after contacting him, I have a feeling.

It’s a very warm feeling, amazing!”

In fact, this is the role of Zhao Heng's personality charm. Zhao Heng comes from a later generation where everyone is equal and has been educated to be independent and equal since he was a child. Therefore, Zhao Heng has a kind of inner confidence when he speaks and acts. In contrast, Zhang Hongsi

It will be different.

Ancient China was a status society. A man had a certain social status from birth, even if Zhang Hongsi's father was a rebellious member of the ruling class. Zhang Hongsi has been educated to respect teachers and filial piety since he was sensible. Father and teacher

What God says is absolutely irrefutable. This kind of education has made Zhang Hongsi look like a little nerd even though he is only seventeen years old, but he behaves and does things strictly.

On the other hand, Zhao Heng is different. There is no absolute authority in Zhao Heng's heart. His father, Zhao Fuxiang, is more respected in his heart. It is this kind of self-confidence that radiates from the inside out that makes Zhao Heng very different from the young people of the Ming Dynasty.

, also made Zhang Hongsi interested in Zhao Heng, who liked to serve as a soldier and fight.

The two siblings were talking and laughing here. Outside, their mother Qin came back. Seeing her mother coming back, the two siblings quickly got up to greet her.

Qin was born in a poor scholar's family in Nanzhili. His father was framed and lost his status as a scholar. It was Zhang Wenming who spoke up and saved his father's life. In gratitude for saving his life, Qin's father married off his daughter.

Zhang Wenming became a concubine.

Nearly twenty years of caution have allowed Mrs. Qin to see the ruthlessness and cruelty of wealthy families. Although Zhang Wenming was very kind to her, rules were the rules in the Zhang family. Mrs. Qin didn't even have a seat in front of the master and his wife, and even gave birth to her own child.

The daughter and son must worship Mrs. Feng as their legitimate mother, and she, the biological mother, can only express her feelings for her children when she returns to her own house.

So when she learned that Mrs. Feng's nephew was going to marry her daughter, Ms. Qin was very unhappy. Ms. Qin secretly gave Zhang Wenming a pillow blow. In addition, Zhang Wenming really didn't want her daughter to suffer in the past, so Zhang Wenming didn't agree.

This marriage.

Now, although her daughter is married to the son of a low-status businessman, she is the principal wife there, and Zhao Hengjie loves herself and does not marry a concubine. If her daughter marries her husband, she will be favored by her husband. What else does the Qin family have?

Are you satisfied?

Seeing her grown-up daughters, Ms. Qin was very pleased. She took her daughter's hand and said, "My dear, when you go to another house, you must remember to honor your parents-in-law. Zhao Heng's grandparents are still alive, so they should go there every day."

Please say hello, even though we are concubines, we can’t disgrace the Zhang family!”

Thinking that he would soon leave the home where he had lived for more than ten years and his family, Zhang Side cried and said: "Mother, what should I do if my daughter misses her mother and brother?"

The Ming Dynasty was not a later generation. A daughter-in-law could go home if she wanted. Except for a few specific festivals, a daughter-in-law in the Ming Dynasty had to get her husband's permission if she wanted to go home.

When Zhang Hongsi heard what his sister said, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister. If Zhao Heng doesn't let you come back, I will take my mother to live with him for ten days and a half. Anyway, his family is rich, so there are two people."

Got it!"

Ms. Qin was very sad at first, but she felt a little better after hearing what her son said. After all, her daughter was not marrying far away. She could come back at least once a year, which was far better than marrying in another province.

"You bastard, don't talk nonsense. Zhao Heng's father is your father's sworn brother after all. Don't mess around! There was also a letter from your eldest brother a few years ago, saying that his sister of the same age has reached marriageable age and is ready to be your wife.

Daughter-in-law, your father has also initially agreed that after your sister gets married, he will ask you to go to Nandu to find your brother, visit other people’s homes, and if possible, get married there!"

Zhang Hongsi's face turned green when he heard that he was also going to get married. He was only seventeen years old. Although he was an adult according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't want to get married so early. After all, he hadn't had enough fun.

"Ah? Mom, can you tell dad? My son wants to take the exam to be a scholar first and then talk about it later!"

Mrs. Qin knew what her son was planning, it was just that he didn't want to get married and have children. Mrs. Qin scolded: "You brat wants to talk about fame this time? There is no conflict between getting married and getting married. What's the point of getting married first and then testing for fame?"

No? Look at your eldest brother, he is already a father at your age, can't you let your mother have a grandson earlier?"

Seeing that his mother was trying to teach him something, Zhang Hongsi quickly said, "Mom, sister! I still have some books to review, so I'm leaving first!" After saying that, he got up and ran away.

Zhao Fuxiang and his family had returned to their home in Fucheng. Zhao Heng originally wanted to rush back to Haidian Island immediately, but he has not gone back for two days. The guys under him are so slack. But grandma Ma Guilan is really not suitable to continue on the journey.

, the road condition in the Ming Dynasty was extremely bad. Although Qiongzhou Prefecture was not far from Haidian Island, the bumpy road was enough for old lady Ma Guilan to bear, so Zhao Heng had to stay one more night in Fucheng and wait for grandma to go there tomorrow after she had rest.

Return to Haidian Island.

As soon as Zhao Fuxiang and his family arrived at the door, Zhao Fuxiang saw a sedan parked in front of the door and a dozen heavily armed soldiers standing at the door.

Zhao Fuxiang thought he was involved in a lawsuit. When Zhao Fuxiang got off the carriage and the concierge Lao Yu came out to greet him, Zhao Fuxiang realized that it was the commander Mao Jiao who had arrived.

Zhao Fuxiang wondered in his heart that he had nothing to do with Mao Jiao, so why did this guy come to his house and ask him to do something? Zhao Fuxiang asked Zhao Heng to accompany his family to the back house, while he went to the front hall.

There were three people in the hall. Mao Jiao was not wearing official uniform, but was sitting in the middle in casual clothes. Behind him stood a fat man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Sitting opposite Mao Jiao was Kong Shouzhen, who was chatting with Mao Jiao. When Kong Shouzhen saw Zhao Fuxiang entering the room, he quickly stood up and said, "My boss is back. Mr. Mao is here to ask for help!"

When Mao Jiao saw Zhao Fuxiang coming back, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is really a busy man!"

Zhao Fuxiang laughed, clasped his fists and said, "Master Mao, I just went to my sworn brother's house and just came back! Please forgive me for keeping Master Mao waiting for so long!"

When Mao Jiao heard that Zhao Fuxiang went to Zhang Wenming's house, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It's easy to talk!"

After they both sat down, Mao Jiao asked, "Brother Zhao, did you tell anything about our family when you went to Zhang Ju's house this time?"

What happened? Zhao Fuxiang didn't remember what he promised Mao Jiao at all, but Zhao Fuxiang was afraid of offending Mao Jiao, the deputy commander of the provincial military region, so he smiled and said: "How could I forget this? Of course I said it!"

Mao Jiao was overjoyed after hearing this. He reached out and took out a gift list from his arms, handed it to Zhao Fuxiang and said: "Brother Zhao, I know this matter is difficult to handle. I also asked people to go to Zhang Juren before, but Zhang Juren didn't agree at all.

I accepted Gouzi as my disciple, and now Brother Zhao has accomplished this big thing. I am very grateful! This is a small thing, please accept it, Brother Zhao!"

After hearing what Mao Jiao said, Zhao Fuxiang remembered what was going on. He had promised to help the stupid son of Mao's family gain access to Zhang Wenming's door. But at that time, he had asked Mao Jiao for help, so he had no choice but to agree. According to Zhang Wenming's words

With such bullshit virtue, how could you accept a stupid son from a military family as a student?

Zhao Fuxiang was about to refuse, but he hesitated after seeing the numbers on the gift list. Mao Jiao had spent a lot of money. The gift list clearly stated five hundred taels of silver and several other gifts. Now in order to win over the refugees, Zhao Fuxiang

I have spent a lot of money, the sugar has not been refined yet, and I am in a shortage of funds. If I have these 500 taels of silver, I can greatly alleviate my predicament.

Mao Jiao didn't think much about it. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull his son behind him, and then said: "Brother Zhao, this is Mao Shaohong, the son of a dog, and he is also the only son of my younger brother! Brother Zhao knows that my younger brother was born in a military family. How many generations of my Mao family have we had?"

There has never been a scholar, and I have suffered enough from the lack of fame, so since Quanzi was born, I vowed to train Quanzi to become a Jinshi! What makes me happy is that Quanzi does have some talent in reading. Just this year

He is already a child at the age of eighteen, and he is considered a child prodigy in Qiongzhou Prefecture! But Quanzi lacks a famous teacher to guide him. I also asked other celebrities in the city, but they were all rejected. Now that Brother Zhao is willing to help, it is really

Thank you so much, brother!"

Zhao Fuxiang didn't listen to Mao Jiao's tirade at all. His mind was running at high speed, thinking of solutions and how to defraud him of the five hundred taels of silver.
