Chapter 4 Marriage
()
The county town of Gongyi County is not large, but it is always the most densely populated place in Gongyi County, so famous and surnamed families in Gongyi County all have their own houses here.
The Fan Mansion is located in the south city of Gongyi County. It is said to be the Fan Mansion. In fact, it is just a courtyard surrounded by several houses similar to the courtyards in Shanxi, which is still far from the scale of the mansion.
The old man of the Fan family is called Fan Tianyang. He is now forty-seven years old, but in modern terms, he tastes good and has a good spirit.
"The son-in-law is here, Hong'er didn't come with you? Sit in the house, come, hurry up and serve tea." The unique loud voice, coupled with his black and red face, and his strong body, stood with Zhang Shiwen, and it looked like two people were like father and son.
Sitting in the room, looking at Zhang Shiwen with a blushed face, Fan Tianyang was also very happy. The Fan family escaped from Liaodong. The Khitans who killed people without blinking and later braided soldiers caused a good place in the northeast. According to Fan Tianyang's grandfather, the Fan family had more than 20 people, and there were only two brothers left when they arrived in Xiqin. Although the water and soil of Xiqin were not as fertile as the black soil in the northeast, the politics was clear and clear. For several generations, they were wise monarchs in power, and the ruling dynasty was strengthened, but the enemy was strong outside. Xiang Fan
There are more and more outsiders like this, and I’m a bit far from it. Back to the topic, the Fan family has been passed down in Gongyi County for fifteen generations, but the population has not been prosperous. By his generation, only his brother is the only one left. Although the family business is still there, the family has no worries about food and clothing, it always makes him feel a little flawed, because there are only two sons under his knees, and the daughter has eight daughters. Except for two who died, the rest are all good, but the daughter is a loss-making product, and the child will have to rely on his son in the end, right?
The Fan family started out as a fur business outside the border. Now that they have arrived at Fan Tianyang, they no longer have the business of making money with their heads. They have already owned land and lived by collecting land rent.
So Fan Tian supported most of his life and had few proud things, but being able to get a family like the Zhang family was one of the few proud things he did.
The Zhang family is a native of the Western Qin family, and can be regarded as a heirloom of poetry and books. There are few people who know how to read these days. It is natural for the rich man like the Fan family to be able to get into such a marriage that Fan Tian was very proud.
Now he was even more proud. He sighed that he was wise back then, and he took the initiative to propose marriage to Zhang's family. Although the third brother of the Zhang family was not as good as the eldest brother, he was much better than the second brother. Now, after a few days, the little taxpayer had become a dignified master of the salt prison. Now he couldn't even think about the glory when he went out. Imagine the blue eyes of those old friends, Fan Tianyang felt so comfortable.
Thinking of this, Fan Tianyang's eyes were already smiling and narrowed into a slit. The master who couldn't recognize the big words spoke but started to speak, "Don't leave tonight. We must celebrate such a big happy event. Let Hong'er and her mother cook in person. Let our father-in-law and son-in-law have a good drink."
"Brother-in-law is not busy for now." Zhang Shiwen thought about it, and finally decided to say things straight to the point, so he said directly, "I have something to discuss with you, and I will talk about it after the discussion."
"Oh?" Seeing the son-in-law's solemn attitude, Fan Tianyang also put away his smile and was a little confused. He knew the nature of this son-in-law well. He was the best person like him. Since marrying his daughter, he had never asked for anything. Why has he been promoted to the official position and asked for him instead?
Zhang Shiwen rubbed his hands, but it was not that he was so embarrassed, but if this matter was put in the Zhang family today, it would be a great event. I heard that my father looked at his mother in the countryside, and since then he was not worried about food, he suffered a lot of sin, and finally married his mother into the house. He even got angry with the old man so much that he almost drove his father out of the house. It was wrong to have a bad family.
Since he became a salt prison, his cousin's marriage became one of his concerns. He didn't think too much about it. In his heart, although my cousin was young, he had helped him so much that he always had to find a good daughter for his cousin. After thinking about it, he had a sudden idea. He remembered that his wife and sister were just eight years old this year and were just as compatible with her cousin, so he hurriedly came to the door.
"Well, you always listen to me. It doesn't matter if things happen or not, but don't be angry after hearing this. Consider it first. Today, my son-in-law comes to you as a matchmaker for others..."
Fan Tianyang was amused after hearing this. Although the Salt Supervision was not among the ninth ranks of officials, it was considered a real court official. He ate more salary than the magistrate, but his power was not under the jurisdiction of the magistrate. The amount of money he had passed was unimaginable. It was a real fat and shortage. Anyone who saw it would have to call him "Grandmaster" and became the son-in-law of the Salt Supervision to protect himself. Can that be wrong?
"Shiwen is talking about that girl Wan'er, right? I'm worried that this girl is too wild and no one wants it. Tell me what kind of family the other party is, how old we are, we are not outsiders, so what is hard to say, it depends on how you look like."
"Oh, the son-in-law is not talking about Wan'er, it's...Rou'er..."
"Ah?" Although there are many people who have been married to a baby now, Fan Tianyang was still stunned. He has two daughters in his family who are not married. One is what he calls Wan'er. Today is fourteen years old, which is also a marriageable age. The other is just eight years old this year and is still a child. Unexpectedly, the son-in-law is talking about young.
"Rou'er is only eight years old this year..."
"That's right. My son-in-law has a cousin who is eleven years old this year. I grew up. He has no choice but to be picky about his character. Zhou Zheng's family is not bad... But my cousin is very ordinary. Compared to my son-in-law, I would say a word that is not afraid of your old jokes. In terms of intelligence, my son-in-law is incomparable...
Originally, my cousin was still young, so it would not be too late to find a good match after some time. But my uncle was the only one, so he was a little anxious and entrusted this matter to his son-in-law. So "Zhang Shiwen was a matchmaker for the first time. He felt awkward and he was also hesitant.
As the saying goes, the old spirit and the old spirit are not in vain. Fan Tian raised such an old age and asked immediately: "Where is your uncle's family?"
"Hunter." Zhang Shiwen said hard. He couldn't hide this matter, nor did he want to hide it, but he had prepared some words, and then said, "Listen to the son-in-law and finished his words. You also know that the son-in-law has become a salt prison. To be honest, with my ability, it is not my turn to be so many positions staring at me. My elder brother refused to help and wanted me to go to the capital. But the son-in-law is different from the elder brother. He is a person who is not improving at all. He didn't think about anything to help the world and the people, wealth and honor. We don't have the ability or fate. The prosperous capital is a good place, but the son-in-law also understood that there are countless nobles under the feet of the emperor. If we go there, what else can we do besides kowtowing and bowing to others? It's boring to think about it. It's better to live in the countryside. But we can't twist the meaning of the elder brother?
Coincidentally, a few days ago, my son-in-law visited my uncle's house. I originally thought that before leaving, I asked my uncle if he had anything to help, and I didn't think too much about it, but my cousin gave me a few words. Although my cousin is young, I have already made it clear that the things that bother my son-in-law for many days are just a few words. As the saying goes, it's good to see that he is three years younger than eight years younger. Although my cousin's family is poor, he is a person who can do big things at first glance. My uncle entrusted my cousin's marriage to me. My son-in-law thought, although there are many women in Gongyi County, only our Rouer is worthy of such a person, so I came to you.
If you don't agree, your son-in-law has nothing to say, so you have to let your elder brother look for it in the capital. After all, I'll wait for someone's daughter to find a son-in-law like my cousin. Even if my uncle agrees, we won't agree.
Well, you always do not agree or not today. The most important thing is not to let my elder brother know my elder brother’s character. If you know that this idea was given by my cousin, you will definitely have to take my cousin somewhere else. He is the only one in my cousin’s house. I see my cousin’s meaning, and I am not a person who is willing to travel far away. My uncle and aunt may not agree. Today I will tell you a briefing. I have not mentioned any of my cousin’s affairs in front of my elder brother.”
Fan Tianyang did not believe Zhang Shiwen's words. It was reasonable to say a lot of good words like this, but he was not considering these things. Since it was spoken by this son-in-law himself and had never asked for anything before, and now his identity is different from the past, this kind of relationship is hard to refute.
"How about letting the kid come here and I'll take a look?"
"Sure, why do you have to see it yourself? I'll bring him to you after a few days, when I'm almost busy with the salt farm, I'll tell you first, my cousin is a little cold-hearted, but those with ability are like this. There's nothing strange about it, it's still young, my elder brother almost grew into the sky when he was young. Now, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a humble and gentleman, haha."
......
Zhao Shi naturally didn't know that things went against his wishes. Just because of his few words, he made a wife younger than him come out. Now, he quietly felt the abundant energy and strength in his body, and then satisfactorily took the hand towel handed over by the little girl next to him and wiped the sweat off his face.
This is a must-do course he has done every night. Since he learned this set of Bajiquan from an instructor, he has been practicing it for more than a dozen years. Unfortunately, he learned it too late and his physical condition has been fixed. Otherwise, with his understanding and perseverance, he will sooner or later achieve great success. This is the instructor's original words.
The instructor naturally could not have imagined that this young man with an unusual talent for close combat would have such a bizarre encounter. In modern times, in Zhao Shi's opinion, he had a styling style and had little effect in actual combat. Bajiquan is no exception. If you use any martial arts styling when fighting with the enemy, it must be a styling. Of course, there may be some martial arts masters in the folk, but Zhao Shi has never seen it. Even if you teach this set of boxing skills, if you practice with him, you will use standard military fighting skills, but you can see the shadow of Bajiquan from some tricks from time to time.
The reason why Zhao Shi practiced this set of Bajiquan for so long is that Bajiquan has some benefits for the coordination of the body and the use of power, such as the mountain-like support in Bajiquan. It is said that the disciples of Bajiquan often used their bodies to lean against the wall and against the trees, which was extremely powerful. This involves the application of the strength of the whole body. It seems that the focus point is the shoulder, but in fact, the strength is raised from the waist, and the twisting force is used to concentrate the strength of the whole body on the shoulder, and then exert force.
In actual combat, Chinese martial arts may not be as good as Sanda, Tangshou, or some joint skills, but they really have their own unique features in the use of power, which is why Zhao Shiqin practices without any plagiarism.
Of course, hard qigong is a compulsory course in the military, but generally speaking, hard qigong is not so much a qigong as it is to allow one's own pain and nerves to adapt to the pain caused by external hits. Over time, it can indeed stimulate the potential in the human body and have a certain effect. As for rumors such as incompetence, it is just a rumor.
The little girl beside Zhao Shi is his current sister. If the countrymen cannot give a good name, Zhao Cui'er becomes the little girl's name.
The girl just turned six this year, and she looked very similar to her mother. She was thin and weak, but she was pretty. The girl was not so close to Zhao Shi. However, she used to playing with Zhao Shi before. Now, although she was afraid of this brother who had become cold, she still couldn't change her habits. In addition, Zhao Shi's adult calmness that children would never have, which made the little girl feel inexplicably safe, so Zhao Shi now has such a small tail behind her.
He subconsciously touched his chest. This should be a place where there was a slight pain after every large amount of exercise. It was the third time he was carrying out his mission. He was left with a memory of a knife wound that almost penetrated his chest. He was a girl who seemed harmless. Fortunately, he did not hurt his heart. However, he still fought with the god of death for a full ten days before he could get his life back. Since then, every time it rains or after violent exercises, it will hurt here. However, the pain also reminded him at all times that he would not be merciless to the enemy. From then on, Zhao Shi's ruthlessness and cruelty showed up.
But he didn't touch anything. The tentacles were smooth, and all he felt was the solid muscles that gradually bulged. Zhao Shi then realized that he was no longer the same as himself. The corner of his mouth touched him, and he could barely smiled bitterly. The more he didn't want to remember, the more firmly he occupied a higher position in your memory. He looked at the little girl who stared at him timidly. A year of peaceful life could not completely free him from his memories. He also tried hard to adapt to the life of a normal person, but the result was ridiculous. A task that was not a task made all his previous efforts was wasted. It is undeniable that when he hunted those prey effortlessly, he was very excited and felt very good. He knew that this was a perverted reaction. No normal person would feel sincerely happy in the killing, but he just couldn't suppress this feeling.
Putting aside these annoying feelings, Zhao Shi led his sister into the house. If he was seen by his teammates in that time and space, he would definitely be able to detect in Zhao Shi's back that Zhao Shi has become more popular now than before.
As soon as the door of the house was closed, the lights in the house were closed inside, and the yard returned to its usual peace.
Zhao Shi, who was slowly transforming, did not know that in the far north, a nineteen-year-old Mongolian boy, who was like a wolf, opened his eyes burned into blood red by hatred and ambition, solemnly vowed to Buerhan Mountain to Changshengtian, and decided to start a war against his powerful enemy, the Meierqi tribe, because the feud of the Qiyan tribe, Meierqi tribe snatched his newly married wife. No Mongolian could endure such shame. According to the rules set by Changshengtian, he would use blood and a sword to repay his enemies.
