Zhao Sheng himself did not expect that Zhao Cheng, who had always been timid and weak, would actually do such a thing. Once he joined Huang Tianjun, even if he divided the fields to provide food rations to his family, if he died in the battle, the fields would not be taken back, but only
Lost rations.
Later, Zhao Cheng showed his talent in Taoism and did not die directly on the battlefield. In the army, the casualty rate of large-scale soldiers was the highest. If he became an officer, even if he was just a captain, his safety would be
will increase greatly.
Taoists, as long as they are new to Taoism, will be entrusted with the position of school captain.
Zhao Cheng first joined the Taoism, and later became the general banner. The environment at home was greatly improved, and as military dependents of officers, they could move with the army, and their safety was guaranteed.
In fact, Zhao Sheng can now have a shop, and Zhao Xiang can have some meat on his body and is not as thin as withered grass, all because Zhao Cheng has continued to serve in the army.
In fact, even the current situation is because Zhao Sheng saved most of the money given by Huang Tianjun and planned to leave it to Zhao Cheng as a betrothal gift in the future to marry a wife, otherwise the Zhao family would be even more wealthy.
Of course, the original Taoist Zhao Cheng wanted Zhao Sheng to leave this money to his little sister as a dowry.
He was a Taoist and knew the dangers of military warfare. Ever since he went to join the army, he never thought that he would be able to come back alive in the future.
"But, but..."
Zhao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell him about the nightmare he had had some time ago.
In her dream, she saw Zhao Cheng's head being chopped off by a fierce and strong man. She thought it was just an ordinary dream, but the rumors she heard today made her feel very uncomfortable.
Good feelings come out.
Although she knew that Zhao Cheng knew Taoism, many Taoists had died whenever they were defeated over the years...
In such a silent atmosphere, Zhao Sheng swung his hammer more and more vigorously. It seemed that only in this way could he get rid of the boredom in his heart.
Zhao Xiang also lowered her head and just struggled to stuff wood into the stove. The fire was scorching hot, but her heart felt very cold.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if the scene in her dream came true...
When Zhao's mother left, Zhao Cheng was five years old and she was only three years old. For the next seven years, she was actually taken by Zhao Cheng. Zhao's father had always been an unsmiling person and very serious.
In the past few years, her only happy time was probably when Zhao Cheng came back from the army. She always received gifts, either a little bit of candy, a new suit of clothes, or some exquisite items.
small objects.
And while the father and daughter were in relative silence, at this moment, the door that had been ajar was pushed open.
An ox cart was parked in front of the shop. The ox was an old cow and the cart was very old, but in this era, the people who could ride in the cart, no matter how old the cart was, had already surpassed 99% of the people.
The person who opened the door got out of the car. He was a rich middle-aged man. His skin was yellow and showed a kind of wind and frost. His eyes were a little small but very bright, giving him a smart and capable look.
a feeling of.
This middle-aged man's expression turned gloomy as soon as he entered the door. Before he could speak, Zhao Sheng had already spoken. With surprise, he couldn't help but ask: "My dear, why do you have time to come to my humble home today?!"
While he was talking, he didn't even want the half-beaten farm tools in his hands. He put them down directly and went to greet them, appearing very enthusiastic.
This middle-aged man, whose surname is Wang, is Wang Jiran, a businessman. A few years ago, when Zhao Chenggang became a Taoist priest and took up the post of captain, he sent someone to find the Zhao family to marry him, and arranged an in-law marriage with the Zhao family.
They agreed that they would get married when their youngest daughter reaches sixteen.
As for why it was sixteen instead of the common fourteen, the Wang family said that it was too dangerous for a girl to have a child at fourteen, and that after sixteen, it would be safer.
Zhao Sheng had never read any books, so he didn't know that the Wang family was waiting for a price. Therefore, Zhao Sheng was very satisfied with the marriage.
Because the Zhao family has been poor for generations, while the Wang family is a family of merchants. Although it is not a wealthy family, it can ride an oxcart. The wife of the family is nothing more than that when the family is not yet in trouble.
As for Zhao Cheng, although he was a school captain and was promoted continuously, Zhao Sheng still thought that this was because of his inertia of thinking. In addition, he was also very satisfied with the Wang family's youngest daughter, so he didn't dare to
Neglect towards relatives.
At this moment, Wang Jiran suddenly came over. Zhao Sheng's first thought was that the Wang family was here to discuss marriage matters. Calculating the time, the Wang family's daughter was already fifteen. If they wanted to get married at sixteen, the time would be almost there.
It's time.
As for the fact that Zhao Cheng himself is still outside, in this era, marriage is dictated by the parents and the matchmaker. If the parents of their two families finalize it, it is completely settled. After Zhao Cheng comes back, it will just go through a process.
With such thoughts, Zhao Sheng was naturally surprised and happy. Even Zhao Xiang also thought of this, feeling reluctance in his heart and pricking up his ears at the same time.
Although she was reluctant to let go, she still supported Zhao Cheng's ability to have a good relationship. Zhao Cheng had done enough over the years.
At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what her future sister-in-law would be like.
Neither Father Zhao nor she had actually seen the woman's portrait, which was from a few years ago. They couldn't see anything at all, and they didn't know what she looked like now.
For a moment, the curiosity in her heart even dissipated her worries.
When Wang Jiran heard this, he sighed slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, I am here to discuss the engagement."
Although he noticed that Wang Jiran's tone was wrong, Zhao Sheng did not react for a short time. When he heard about the engagement, he immediately said: "Are we going to set a date?!"
Immediately, Wang Jiran's expression became even more gloomy, and he said: "To be honest with Brother Zhao, I originally planned this too, but just half a month ago, my little daughter suddenly became seriously ill, and now her condition has worsened. The doctor said that my little daughter's condition
, you may not be able to live for more than two years..."

"So, I was thinking, Brother Zhao, your children are brave and promising at a young age. My family is already high-ranking. How can we marry our dying daughter now?!"
"Isn't this just unkind and unjust?"
"This engagement should be terminated here and now!"
As soon as these words came out, the air immediately became quiet, and only the crackling sound of burning wood suddenly became louder.
Whether it was Zhao Sheng or Zhao Xiang, when they heard this, they felt as if they were struck by lightning.
"this……"
"Dear..., dear, may the doctor have made a mistake? In fact, it's just a minor illness..."
Zhao Sheng looked humble. He had been looking forward to such a "good" marriage for a long time, and now such a result was hard for him to accept.
Zhao Xiang looked at his father and suddenly thought that Zhao Cheng's life and death were unknown, and he suddenly felt sad.
After that, Zhao Sheng begged several times, but Wang Jisheng still persisted, and finally had no choice but to give up.
But after this incident, Zhao Sheng seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.
He clearly remembered that in the beginning, the other party took the initiative to propose this marriage, but now, it was the other party who changed his mind...
…
"Father, is the matter done?!"
On the other side, in a large house, a pretty girl asked excitedly when her father came back, as if she was afraid that things would not be done.
In this era, the atmosphere between men and women was relatively open. Wives and widows were very popular, and regretting a marriage was not a stain at all.
The girl's name is Wang Mingwei, and she is Wang Jiran's youngest daughter. She has disliked this marriage from the beginning, but this is normal. At her age, she is an innocent and innocent age, and she loves to read the stories of all kinds of talented and beautiful women.
.
The ideal lover cannot be a Taoist from a mud-legged family. Although her father has always told her that the general banner is not bad and her family is high-ranking. If they had not made an engagement early, her family might not be the best.
There is this opportunity.
But she had read too many stories and felt that the general's wife was no more than a minor official. She would even meet a young prince who traveled around the world, and finally become the prince's wife. This was her future.
But it was her parents' order before, and she didn't dare to resist if she wanted to. But now, her father suddenly changed his mind.
This naturally surprised her greatly.
Wang Jiran frowned slightly when he saw his daughter looking like this, but then he relaxed and said, "It's done."
Wang Mingwei only felt that her father had figured it out and still felt sorry for his daughter. But what Wang Jiran was thinking about was Huang Tiandao's defeat in the Southern Wilderness. He took advantage of the fact that before the news spread, he broke off the relationship early.
That's the kingly way.
He had decided on this marriage before because Huang Tianjun was still very powerful at that time, and with this relationship, he could take advantage of the situation. Now the building is about to collapse, but it can't be done anymore.
As for the Zhao family and Zhao Cheng, he is not afraid of revenge. Not to mention whether Zhao Cheng can come back from the Southern Wilderness alive. Even if he comes back, his family will not be here anymore.
He has already made plans to move his family.
…
"Wang family, are you dissolving the marriage..."
"Businessmen value profits but are ruthless and unjust. This has always been the case throughout the ages and has never been the norm."
In the study room, it was raining heavily outside. Listening to the sound of rain and looking at the booklet handed over by his subordinates, Taoist Huang Tian smiled meaningfully.
Taoists are not taboo about marriage, and there are actually many Taoists who marry the daughters of businessmen. Businessmen are ruthless, and Taoists are also the same.
As for Taoist Huang Tian, he has paid attention to it from all aspects since he discovered that Zhao Cheng understood Huang Tian's reinvention.
"It just so happens that I also have a heavenly marriage here."
Taoist Huang Tian murmured.
"Daniu, take an elite cavalry to fetch the Zhao family's father and daughter. Remember, don't be negligent in the slightest. If not, I'll take you for granted!"
Taoist Huang Tian looked solemn.
A tall man standing below was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and said, "Here!"
