Volume C Chapter 49 Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven
From Jinan Prefecture, Feng Ziying first went to Dongchang Prefecture to visit Shen Jue.
If nothing unexpected happens, maybe this will become his father-in-law.
However, until the father's side has not officially replied, or before formally proposing the marriage proposal to the Shen family, everyone must maintain the necessary etiquette in all this.
Feng Ziying was not sure whether her father and Master Qiao had contacted or communicated with Shen Jue. It was impossible to inform herself of the correspondence between the elders. Everything would have to wait until there was a clear result before it could be made public.
It is estimated that the problem still lies in the issue of his own title and concurrent role, but judging from Qiao Yingjia's attitude, this should not be a problem.
In terms of patriarchal etiquette, it is equivalent to two families, each inheriting the incense of its own house. The wives of two wives belong to the sisters-in-law and have no other relationship.
Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no influence at all. After all, in name and status, each belongs to the same family and has its own family, but there is only one person. No one wants to share a husband with others. This is not the relationship between concubines and eldest wives. relationship between.
Feng Ziying also tried hard to get some clues from Shen Jue, but failed.
There was no fault in the demeanor and deportment of these scholars who had reached the fourth rank. They talked and laughed happily and were elegant and classy. Feng Ziying had no choice but to resign.
But he could still feel that Shen Jue had a good impression of him, or that the entire Feng family had a good impression on him.
When it comes to finding a good family for your daughter, from a father's point of view, it's enough that you have a good family background and a good personality. As for other things, you can't say anything else. Whether they can love each other and grow old together is theirs. matter.
When Feng Ziying brought Ruixiang and Baoxiang back to Feng Mansion in Linqing City, the entire Feng Mansion suddenly became excited.
After two years apart, Feng Mansion has completely changed. The gate of the mansion has been enlarged a lot, the corner gates on both sides have also been built very impressively, the walls of the mansion have been expanded a lot, and the scorpion pit has really been included. The whole The scale of Feng Mansion has at least expanded several times.
Feng Ziying estimated that it should be at least the same size as the Jia Mansion. Of course, they are in the capital city, and you are in Linqing City, two concepts.
When walking beside the Scorpion Pit, the entire water hole was scoured, and then a winding corridor went straight into the depths of the water to connect the pavilions in the water. Naturally, the Scorpion Pit was no longer called the Scorpion Pit, but was renamed Fenghe Pond. Lotus.
When Feng Ziying saw Zuo Liangyu at home, she was also shocked by the change in this guy.
Zuo Liangyu, who has turned fifteen years old, seems to have completely changed from what he was two years ago. With a good diet and a lot of exercise, Zuo Liangyu has grown a lot taller in the past two years. He is no longer as tall as Feng Ziying is much shorter.
"Brother!" When Zuo Liangyu saw Feng Ziying, he already knew how to salute with clasped fists in a decent manner, and actually had a bit of a military temperament.
The dark face, the still fierce and fierce gaze, the strong body, and the thick calloused palms all show that this Erlang of the Zuo family has undergone a complete transformation in the past two years.
Zuo Liangyu was born in the military and had an uncle who was a blacksmith. Zuo Liangyu was born not to like studying. Although he was forced by Feng Ziying to study hard for two years in the academy funded by the Feng family, he was just a capable person.
He can barely read a few hundred words and can read a few books.
As for writing, just looking at the quality of the letters he wrote to Feng Ziying in the past two years, you can tell that this guy didn't put much thought into studying.
"You've joined the army?" Feng Ziying actually knew it and sighed.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you join the army, but Feng Ziying originally hoped that Zuo Liangyu could join the army as a martial arts examiner, so that he could not only reach the position of an officer in one step, but also be promoted faster, but now it seems that this guy simply can't.
He doesn't have the intention to follow his own path.
Seeing Feng Ziying's sharp gaze, Zuo Liangyu finally felt a little embarrassed. She turned her head slightly to avoid Feng Ziying's gaze and muttered: "Brother, I really don't want to study anymore. I can read a few words today.
Tomorrow I will forget a few words and turn them over and over again until my head is big. I can barely recognize a few words. Not many people in our health center can read..."
"Are you planning to be a top soldier for the rest of your life?" Feng Ziying said with a gloomy expression.
"Brother, don't underestimate me. If we talk about martial arts, even in the entire hundred households, there are not many people who can win over me." When he talked about his martial arts, Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up and he looked around.
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing when she saw his proud look. After all, he was still a young man.
Feng Ziying also told Duan Xigui to find an academy for Zuo Liangyu and Wang Pei'an to study in. Later, Duan Xigui also wrote to say that Zuo Liangyu preferred to practice martial arts, so Feng Ziying asked Duan Xigui to find one or two local martial arts masters to teach him martial arts.
Martial arts practice has always been popular in Shandong. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can naturally find a suitable candidate. Zuo Liangyu is now extremely skillful with swordsmanship and large guns, but Wang Pei'an is not very interested in martial arts training. On the contrary, he is
There is also some talent in reading.
"Silang, what about you?" Seeing Wang Pei'an standing aside, shivering a little, Feng Ziying asked with all her might.
"Brother Feng, I still prefer studying. I plan to take the scholar examination this year. If it doesn't work, I will join the army." Wang Pei'an mustered up his courage and said.
Feng Ziying nodded: "Erlang, Silang, I said that what I promised will not change. Whether you go to study or join the army, it is your own choice. I will not interfere, but I will give you the best
The conditions are the greatest opportunities! I don’t blame you for Erlang hiding from me to join the army. If Shilang wants to study, even if you fail to pass the exam and continue studying, I will support you as well. It’s up to you to join the army, but you
You have to talk to your father."
At this time, Feng Ziying's words had become a bit more unarguable. Even Zuo Liangyu, who was as unruly as Zuo Liangyu, did not dare to argue and could only nod.
"I heard that the war in Liaodong is getting increasingly tense. In the future, elite guards from the Shandong Province will be transferred directly to form a border army to reinforce Liaodong. Do you know about this?" Feng Ziying only learned about this from Song Tongyin after borrowing money.
Song Tongyin was hanging around in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was only responsible for logistics, military service and troop deployment, and accepted the command of the Ministry of War. It was more like a subsidiary organization of the Ministry of War, but on the surface it was still quite glamorous.
"Ah?!" Zuo Liangyu was not afraid of backlash, with a touch of surprise on his face, "I haven't heard of it yet. In the past two years, there were rumors that elites would be recruited from various Wei towns in Shandong, but they only said that they would be recruited from Denglai and Qingzhou.
, it’s not our Dongchang Mansion’s turn,..."
Feng Ziying shook her head.
News from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army indicate that Nurhaci, the Nunu chieftain, has greatly expanded his power after he established the city of Hetuala. He has begun to have ambitions towards other Jurchen tribes and even the Horqin and Outer Khalkha tribes on the Mongolian left wing.
, this is somewhat different from the timeline when Feng Ziying read "History of the Ming Dynasty" in her previous life.
Although the Ministry of War has an insensitive and dim-witted Minister of War like Xiao Daheng, judging from the feedback from Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong, the two ministers Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke are still relatively effective.
Zhang Jingqiu is very concerned about the situation in Liaodong and has noticed the huge threat posed by the expansion of Jurchen power in Jianzhou. The abandonment of Kuandian Six Forts has had a profound impact on the situation in Liaodong, causing Liaodong to lose an important strategic depth, while Jianzhou
The Jurchens took advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate their influence into North Korea, which also had a rather subtle impact on North Korea, which had always been dependent on the Zhou Dynasty.
These situations were passed on to Feng Ziying by Geng Ruqi and Zheng Chongjian, which made Feng Ziying feel more and more pressed for time.
After the start of the new year, Feng Ziying of "Internal Reference" will start to focus on Liaodong in the "Military Observation" column. No one in Ningxia is sure when the outbreak will occur, but the threat in Liaodong is increasing day by day, and it can
What is clear is that unless the Jianzhou Jurchens are completely defeated and defeated, this threat will only get bigger and bigger, and may even become a fatal threat.
"Erlang, it seems that you really want to go to the battlefield? Do you know that the Jurchen side is not easy, it is a life and death fight, and you may not come back after going to battle!" Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh, this is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
, or is this guy just born to like bloodthirsty fighting?
"Brother, what's the point of joining the army if you don't fight?" Zuo Liangyu said nonchalantly: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. I only know that I, Zuo Erlang, will never be able to achieve anything if I stay in this guardhouse all day long.
Yes, didn't there a poet from the Tang Dynasty write a poem? He only takes fame from horses, what a heroic husband! Just like you, eldest brother, you were born to sit on the throne, and I, Zuo Erlang, was born to be
If God decides that I, Zuo Erlang, should be prosperous when I go to charge into battle, then I, Zuo Erlang, should not let me down this time!"
Seeing Zuo Liangyu's attitude, Feng Ziying was a little shaken in her heart, and her original intention to dissuade him faded away. This guy was a generous person in his previous life, and it seems that he has not been able to change much in this life, even his own deliberate training.
It also made him become more wild and brave. Maybe this guy was born to eat this kind of rice?
As if aware of some of Feng Ziying's thoughts, Zuo Liangyu grinned: "Brother, don't worry about me, let's not talk about other things. Whether it's playing with knives or guns, or setting up an ambush and pursuing an attack, my age, Zuo Erlang, is in Baihu."
I am the smallest in the institute, but in terms of ability, I can be ranked in the top five. I have really not wasted the money you spent in the past two years!"
"Okay! In that case, I won't advise you anymore, but you are also fifteen years old. If you can, you might as well marry a wife first and leave a legacy for your Zuo family!" Feng Ziying said flatly.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu, who had been unruly before, turned purple, but was speechless. Apparently, he did not expect that Feng Ziying would arrange it like this.
Seeing this guy's appearance, Feng Ziying also knew that this guy had probably agreed a long time ago, but was just embarrassed.
