Chapter 120 What a pity! What a pity!
Chapter 120, What a pity! What a pity!
On the windy and snowy official road, a caravan was slowly moving forward, and it turned out to be Guo Jia and his party.
Everyone was dressed in casual clothes, and Zhao Yun also wore a white cloak. He seemed to be born to wear white clothes.
Guo Jia suddenly opened the curtain of the car, looked at Zhao Yun beside the carriage with a smile, and joked: "I heard that Zhen Yan's sister is quite satisfied with Zilong, but the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless."
Xiao Zhan also looked at Zhao Yun with a teasing expression.
People said that Zhao Zilong was full of courage, but when faced with the intriguing looks in their eyes, Yingting's face turned slightly red and he did not dare to look directly into their eyes.
Seeing this, Guo Jia laughed loudly and said: "As the ancients said, fair lady, a gentleman is always jealous. What should Zilong have to be shy about? When this battle is over, I will take you to propose marriage to him, Zhen Wenjing."
Zhen Yan, courtesy name Wenjing, is the head of the Zhen family in Hebei.
In terms of financial resources, the Zhen family in Hebei is not inferior to the Mi family in Xuzhou.
In terms of status, the Zhen family had three sons in their ancestors. Even if their family is in decline now, they are by no means comparable to the Mi family.
Perhaps it was because of Liu Bei's current reputation, perhaps because he saw that Mi's new business was making huge profits, or perhaps because he saw the importance that the Marquis of Jinyang attached to businessmen, that Zhen took the initiative to come to visit him.
Of course, Zhen Yan's investment in Liu Bei was not as unreserved as Mi Zhu's, and was more like a tentative investment.
Liu Bei once asked Guo Jia and Xun Yu for their opinions on this, and both gave equal answers.
Can!
No one monarch can have a dominant family under his command, and this includes business. No matter how loyal Mi Zhu is, this balance cannot be broken.
As for the story of Zhao Yun and the eldest lady of the Zhen family, we have to start from the heroic rescue of the beauty a few months ago.
Although Zhen Yan reached an initial consensus with Liu Bei, Zhen's family business was huge, so it was naturally impossible for him to come to Bingzhou in person all the time, so he sent this girl to take charge of Bingzhou's business.
Although most of the bandits in Bingzhou have been wiped out, there are still residual forces entrenched everywhere. It was on the way to Bingzhou that Zhen Jiang led his family caravan, he encountered horse thieves who intercepted the road.
The story is very cliché. Zhao Yun happened to lead his troops out for training, and happened to bump into the servant sent by the Zhen family to ask for help.
As a result, Zhao Zilong personally led his Qianqi to level the mountain stronghold and rescued Miss Zhen, who was almost defiled.
When a daughter of the Zhen family grew up, Zhao Zilong's heroic appearance with a white horse and a silver spear was deeply imprinted on her heart when she first became in love.
All I can say is...everything is fate.
In other words...this is luck.
I heard that before parting, Miss Zhen blushed and gave Zhao Zilong a handkerchief. This was originally used to wipe sweat, but under Zhang Fei's exaggeration, it became a token of love.
"There is a daughter in the Zhen family who has just grown up. When she meets Zhao Yun, her whole life is lost."
Guo Jia couldn't help but recite a poem again.
Although he is romantic, he is fond of his concubine, so he will not go so far as to interfere with her. He is just happy for Zhao Yun from the bottom of his heart.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie, brother Zilong, don't be ignorant of your blessings. The eldest daughter of the Zhen family is one of a million in appearance and figure... No, she is one of a thousand."
Xiao Zhan also started cheering. He thought for a while and suddenly imitated someone's tone and said, "Brother Zilong, you don't want to see that tender beauty crying all day long and suffering from lovesickness, right?"
I was kicked as soon as I finished speaking. These words are used for boudoir fun. Is it appropriate to describe this matter?
Zhao Yun couldn't stand the indiscriminate bombardment of the two men, and his ears were already red.
"Military advisor, brother war, you two, please stop laughing at me."
At this moment, a voice sounded from the other side of the carriage,
"Zilong, you have indeed reached the age to start a family."
This man looks very similar to Zhao Yun, and his physique is almost the same, but his demeanor is slightly inferior, and his martial arts skills are also far behind.
This man turned out to be Zhao Yun's brother, Zhao Feng. After receiving his brother's letter, he decisively resigned from his position in the Youzhou Army and traveled to Bingzhou all night.
Zhao Yun said sternly: "My brother hasn't started a family yet, so Yun Shiwen takes the first step?"
Zhao Feng said angrily: "Now that your wings are hard, you dare to make fun of your brother?"
Zhao Yun was unmoved and said seriously: "Yun will never walk ahead of my brother."
This elder brother is the only one in the world who is qualified to speak to Zhao Yun in this tone without being resented, because it was he who raised Zhao Yun up, making him an eldest brother like a father in the true sense.
Even though his current position is lower than that of his brothers, it does not affect Zhao Yun's respect for him at all.
Guo Jia suddenly suggested: "How about you brothers get married at the same time? If Zifeng has someone he likes, I can propose marriage on your behalf."
This name was given by Guo Jia. The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and the storm is rising again...what a perfect match.
Zhao Feng immediately blushed. The two brothers had exactly the same temperament. It should be said that they were indeed brothers.
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "If you are worried about the gift money, I can help you brothers pay it first."
The Zhao Yun brothers did not come from a wealthy family, and they had just joined the army, so naturally they did not have much savings.
"Zilong, think about it. The eldest lady of the Zhen family is the top [Bai Fumei] in the world. If you marry her, you won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life."
He was applying a classic saying from later generations: Marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life.
Although Zhao Yun didn't understand the title, he understood the word "rich" and couldn't help but retorted: "Yun is definitely not doing it for the Zhen family's wealth."
"Oh~" Guo Jia deliberately prolonged his tone, with an "I understand" look on his face.
"Not for money, but for this person."
Zhao Feng and Xiao Zhan both laughed.
Zhao Yun didn't know that he had been tricked, so he immediately ran away.
"I'm going to explore the way ahead."
——
It was a smooth journey. After more than half a month of traveling, Guo Jia and his party finally arrived at the gate of Luoyang City.
At this moment, a carriage came from another road and soon drove alongside Guo Jia's carriage.
Guo Jiazheng was looking at the beautiful scenery of falling snowflakes through the car window, but his view was blocked by the sudden carriage, and he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
However, he did not scold him in the end. He had a heavy responsibility on this trip and should not be overly public.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage next door was opened, revealing first the flawless white hands, and then a quiet, delicate face.
Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
ah!
The woman suddenly exclaimed, but the white handkerchief in her hand unconsciously fell out of her hand and floated to Guo Jia's side under the support of flying snowflakes.
He reached out to catch it by mistake, and then smiled slightly.
"lady……"
However, the woman immediately lowered the car curtain and did not dare to speak to the man next door.
Guo Jia smiled helplessly, she was such a shy lady, she looked like a newlywed.
pity!
pity!
such a pity……
