In fact, it's no wonder that Mrs. Shen thinks so. Didn't her own uncle Shen Shikui make his fortune through nepotism?

Shen Shikui used his beautiful daughter as a stepping stone, and first gave him to Marshal Mao as a side wife, which helped him win Marshal Mao's respect.

After Marshal Mao was killed, he gave his extremely beautiful daughter to Chen Jisheng, his successor as commander-in-chief, thus winning Chen Jisheng's trust.

In this way, Shen Shikui relied on the nepotism that his daughter connected for him, and became a roly-poly among the people in Dongjiang Town, and finally climbed to the high position of the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town step by step.

It's just that Shen Shikui behaved very loyally and bravely when Pidao fell. After being captured, he would rather die than surrender in the face of various persuasion to surrender, thus winning the respect of the court and some of his subordinates.

The various people who dispersed from Dongjiang Town since then have also chosen to keep it a secret and never publicize these old events. Therefore, not many outsiders know about it.

However, as the wife of Qiu Zhentai, the deputy general of the Navy of Changshan Island in Dongjiang Town, and also as one of Shen Shikui's channels for making friends with and winning over the generals of Dongjiang Town's army, how could Shen not know these secrets that were no longer secrets within Dongjiang Town?

Now that there is such a rut, Shen has nothing to hesitate about. What the ancestors of the Shen family did, why can't I do it?!

"Daughter, my mother has always been too arrogant to you. When I was in Haizhou, I didn't want to wrong you, so I let you pick and choose, and everything was done according to your temper. But now it's different!

"Now, your uncle, together with our whole family and nearly a thousand tribesmen, have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty that is full of Tatars. If you rebel, come out. Anyway, this was your father's last wish back then! But rebel against it.

From now on, our Qiu family will have no way out!

"Although we were originally from the Ming Dynasty, after so many years, our family has no support in the Ming Dynasty! Now that we have such a rare opportunity, Mr. Yang has such intentions for you, but we can't

Missed it again! Tell me, what do you think?"

When Shen said this, there was nothing Qiu Bihan couldn't understand, but she had only met Yang Zhen twice so far.

Although she had a good opinion and impression of Yang Zhen, the commander-in-chief, and after all, Yang Zhen had indeed saved her life, it would be unavoidable for her to make up her mind now and commit herself to him in such a hazy way.

It seemed rushed.

Of course she understood what her mother said. Born in such a family, marriage, life and other matters were destined to be decided by oneself.

However, if she was simply trying to get Yang Zhen as the commander-in-chief, simply to provide support for the Qiu family and her younger brothers and sisters, she felt that doing so would make Yang Zhen look down upon her.

After listening to her mother's words, Qiu Bihan sighed softly and didn't know where to start.

It's not that she didn't want to, on the contrary, ever since that day when Yang Zhen pulled her onto a horse, galloped away from her pursuers, and boarded the slipway, Qiu Bihan could not forget that experience for a long time.

How many times she dreamed about it at night, Qiu Bihan could not help but recall that experience that was both thrilling and thrilling for her.

However, the more this happened, the more she was afraid that Yang Zhen would underestimate her, that Yang Zhen had the same plan as her mother and aunt, and only used her as a pawn to achieve a certain purpose.

"Mom! Aunt! My brother was just on duty in the General Military Mansion today and listened to some gossip. If General Yang didn't mean it himself, wouldn't it be a joke if we say this now and spread it out?! This

Let’s discuss the matter later!”

In the end, Qiu Bihan was stared at by her mother and aunt and had no choice but to hide, so she could only say this vaguely, thinking of putting off the matter for a while until she could think of a way to figure it out.

Let’s talk about Yang Zhen’s true attitude.

If Yang Zhen asked someone to propose marriage just because he liked himself, then he would have nothing to hesitate about.

If Yang Zhen himself didn't mean that, but his subordinates were just making noise, then he couldn't just follow him in a daze.

"You kid! Didn't my aunt tell you that you are about to turn nineteen? In the Ming Dynasty, young ladies from wealthy families got married at fifteen or sixteen, and by eighteen or nineteen, the children who were fed breast milk were two or three years old.

Got it!"

After hearing what Qiu Bihan said, Mrs. Shen hadn't spoken yet, but Mrs. Guo on the side said quickly and directly: "Hanhan! Don't think that my aunt is tacky! My aunt has already asked someone to inquire. Although Mr. Yang said that he had

I had a first wife, but I heard that she disappeared several years ago, and now she is alone!

"If you are married and don't have a father-in-law or a mother-in-law, the inner courtyard of the General Military Mansion will be directly decided by you! Although there is an uncle in the old Yang family, he is still the general commander of Xuanfu Town! Such a good opportunity is not

miss!"

After Mrs. Guo said these words, she thought for a while and then said: "This General Yang is more than ten years older than you, but the man is in his thirties, and he is also the General Soldier. If his uncle has a wife, he can renew his string."

My plan was finalized in the blink of an eye!

"Besides, you have to take a look at yourself. You are not young anymore! You have to cherish such a good marriage. You must know that once you pass this village, you will not necessarily be in this store in the future!"

When Mrs. Guo said this, she turned to look at Mrs. Shen and said to Mrs. Shen: "Since ancient times, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have been taken as a matter of course! Sister-in-law, the critical time is now, and you have to say something!

"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she nodded, and said solemnly to Qiu Bihan, who had her head lowered: "Hanhan, I don't want to embarrass you, but you know our current situation! And what your aunt said makes sense.

At this time, we can no longer pick and choose, just wait and see!"

Qiu Bihan, who had always lowered her head, raised her head when her elders said this, blushed, looked at her mother and whispered: "My daughter understands that her mother and aunt will make the final decision for her daughter's life-long affairs!"

After Qiu Bihan said this, she immediately lowered her head. She thought of Yang Zhen's voice and smile that day, but she didn't expect that the two of them would have this day. She was a little crazy for a moment.

Naturally, Yang Zhen had no way of knowing what happened in the enemy's inner house in his own military headquarters.

However, ever since Zhang Degui, Zhang Chen and others started clamoring to act as matchmakers for him and propose marriage to the Qiu family, he was a little distracted for the whole next night.

He is not worried about Qiu Zhenhai's disapproval, and he is not even worried about the Qiu family's disapproval. With his current status, comparing the two, he knows that such a possibility should be said to be minimal.

However, as a man of two generations, he did not want to win the heart of a beautiful woman by using his current status as a commander-in-chief. He hoped that the enemy's eldest daughter would not be forced to agree, but would willingly do so.

That night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Sometimes he was secretly happy that he could get the beauty back, and sometimes he was worried because he was worried that it would not work out.

Yang Zhen had never seriously thought about how he would start a family in Songshan City so soon. This happened out of the blue and was a shock to him.

Although he does not have a noble state like "How can we take care of our family until the Xiongnu are destroyed?", the future of Songshan City is still unpredictable after all. He does not want to add more extra burdens to himself in these war-torn years.

At the same time, he doesn’t want to miss the woman who marries him.

But it was such a coincidence that he unexpectedly met the eldest lady of his enemy family on Tianzhuang Terrace, which made his heart beat with excitement. Even if he had once had the intention of "why should the family be a family before the Xiongnu was destroyed", it had long since disappeared by this time.

At the same time, his uncle Yang Guozhu from Xuanfu Town, as an elder, asked him to remarry, firstly to give the old Yang family of Guangning Houtunwei a heir, and secondly, to give him a future for himself.

Find another strong Austrian aid.

Yang Zhen could not reasonably refuse the kindness of his cheap uncle Yang Guozhu, unless he could solve the problem himself and finalize a marriage as soon as possible in Songshan.

Because as a thirty-year-old man who is in normal condition, not to mention he is the chief military officer of a party, even if he is just an ordinary, ordinary kid from a wealthy family, being single for a long time without marrying is definitely arousing criticism.

You are a hereditary military commander and former military commander. Your first wife has been gone for several years, your father-in-law’s family is also gone, and your first wife has left no children. Yet you have been single for a long time and have not married again, and it is not because of poverty.

If you can't remarry, then a problem will arise, and whether this problem is big or not, it is not small at all.

In the patriarchal society of the Ming Dynasty, at the very least, you either had a hidden disease and were unable to do things between men and women, or you had a problem with your orientation and had a masculine habit, and this violated public order and good customs.

This is still speaking on a small scale.

If you take it seriously, it would be unfilial. Once you were labeled as such, it would be difficult to move forward in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, once any one of these labels is attached to the body, it will be a disaster for anyone with a certain status.

Yang Zhen, who has been reincarnated as a human being, does not want to be recognized as having acted against the patriarchal principles of this era.

Therefore, unless he solves this problem himself as soon as possible, otherwise, he has no legitimate reason to reject the kindness of Yang Guozhu, his biological uncle.

In this way, Yang Zhen lay on the bed and kept tossing and turning. When the outside window turned white, he finally fell into sleep.
Chapter completed!
