In order to reduce the impact of the previous prince's love for actors, and to show the sincerity of the royal family, after the routine decree and conferment, the emperor sent out a super luxurious lineup to propose marriage.
Zhou Jiong, Grand Master of the Crown Prince, Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Hall, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Xia Lingxing, Grand Master of the Crown Prince, Grand Bachelor of Jianji Hall, Assistant Minister of the Cabinet, Xia Lingxing, Prince Taibao, Rongguo Gong Jia She, Prince Shaobao, Marquis Jianzhang, and Governor The five top civil and military figures in the court, including Cao Jiugong, the commander of the Long Imperial Guard, the Prince's Young Master, and He Yaomin, the Minister of Rites, went to the Zhang family with the edict-delivery servant.
The crown prince and his wife arrived at the British Palace. People who had guessed it before immediately arrived at the gate of the British Palace one after another carrying the congratulatory gifts they had prepared in advance.
But Mr. Zhang probably expected that the British government would still keep its doors closed, and keeping a low profile seemed to have been engraved in the bones of the Zhang family.
Among the dozen or so young men of the Zhang family, except for a few who have reached adulthood, they are planning to get married. The rest should go to school and practice martial arts. There is no such thing as the arrogance of the future uncle.
The old man's military stick was much more painful than Shuntian Mansion's plank.
Compared with the hard life of those little guys, the life of the sixth girl is much more interesting.
Perhaps Jia Cong and Daiyu were the matchmakers. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Shen paid great attention to the invitation sent by Daiyu. After the imperial edict of canonization was delivered to the Zhang family, they asked Zhang Kruu to accompany them the next day. Miss Zhang Liu went to Rongguo Mansion to visit.
The old lady was naturally happy with the arrival of the Crown Princess.
Zhang Baoer is not only good-looking, but also has a sweet mouth. He only stayed in Rongxi Hall for less than a quarter of an hour, and he made the old lady laugh and established preliminary friendships with several girls in the family.
Jia Cong in the front room had a headache because the Krupp was too noisy.
After all, he is still an old man in his mid-twenties, but he is still like a child who has not grown up. When visiting other people's homes, he insists on dragging the host with him to compete.
Jia Cong looked at the muscles all over this guy's body, and he only agreed to the martial arts competition if he was mentally ill.
On the contrary, Liu Xianglian, the second uncle of the Jia family who came back to stay temporarily after the wedding, became interested. The few people who were supposed to be drinking tea and chatting in the front hall walked out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion chatting and laughing and came to the family building next to the clan school. On the martial arts field.
At this time, the ethnic studies class was in session, and the sound of Zhang Kruu and Liu Xianglian's ping-pong fight immediately attracted the students in the ethnic studies class.
Master Jing was also surprised that there were people in the martial arts field at this time. The young man reported that it was several young masters in the mansion who were competing with the eldest son of the Zhang family, so he stopped his studies and took a group of boys from the clan to the martial arts field to observe.
This is a rare opportunity. Liu Xianglian, Zhang Kruu and their own Jia Lian are all the most promising young people in the family. Let this group of rich and wealthy boys in the family, who are accustomed to hardship, take a closer look at what real martial arts is. Brother Xun!
Bang~
Not only was Liu Xianglian superb in swordsmanship, he was born in the Liguo Palace, so he was naturally good at horse fighting.
Zhang Kruu and Zhang Kruu were holding long sticks. When they rushed to kill each other, the tip of the stick hit the armor on the opponent's chest almost at the same time.
After a deafening collision, the two took a deep breath and tried their best to maintain their posture. They reined in their horses and looked at each other, but did not take action again.
Without him, everyone was trying their best in that collision. At this time, they were all exhausted, and it was already pretty good that they could still sit firmly on the horse.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, take a break~"
Zhang Kruu threw away the long stick in his hand, dismounted and sat directly on the ground. He rubbed his wrists and smiled bitterly: "After so many years, Erlang is still so fierce in fighting. Brother Lian, in terms of horse fighting, I'm afraid Only you can beat Erlang. After all, Brother Lian’s horse fighting skills are the best among our generation..."
Seeing Zhang Kruu raise his thumb, Jia Lian shook his head.
"It used to be, but not anymore."
ah?
"Is there anyone who can beat you, Brother Lian, in a horse fight?"
It's normal for Zhang Kruu to be surprised. Most of Jia Lian's military exploits over the years were achieved through horseback battles where fewer people defeated more people. How could there be anyone in the capital who could defeat this god of death?
Jia Lian spread his hands and said: "That man, Da Lang, should have heard of General Xue Pan led by Zuofu of the East Palace and Huaiyuan."
hiss!
"It's that monster..."
After Zhang Kruu exclaimed, he remembered that Xue Pan was still a relative of the Jia family. He stood up and clasped fists with several people and said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude. Please forgive me, second brother Lian. It's really..."
Hey, this is quite embarrassing to say.
The old Zhang family wanted to give their new son-in-law, the prince, a "boost", but he did not expect that the prince gave the Zhang family a big "surprise".
After asking about it later, I found out that the East Palace had a very powerful "dumb overlord" named Xue Pan. He was a little silly, but he was like the reincarnation of the overlord. He was carrying a Fangtian painted halberd and sparring with the prince every day.
It is said that this guy rushed to kill him, and dozens of people couldn't take him down.
Under the training of such fierce men, the prince has already mastered the skill of lifting a thousand pounds, and he can't blame Zhang Kruu for losing to the seemingly weak prince.
"I understand, I understand. I competed with him once before, and a halberd knocked me off my horse."
Jia Lian also had a wry smile on his face. Xue Pan led a dozen people in Wala and captured all the princes and nobles in Wala. Their performance was almost as good as that of Huo Huiqi back then.
He had itchy hands and insisted on inviting others to compete. Unexpectedly, he was knocked off his horse with just one move. Although there are reasons for his carelessness, Xue Pan's arm strength is really off the charts!
When several people talked about Xue Pan, their faces were full of helplessness.
If this guy really couldn't study, his future achievements would definitely not be worse than theirs.
Pity……
"Brother Cong, who are you talking about?"
With a snap, Jia Cong felt his shoulder hurt. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Xue Pan.
"Brother Xue, you are really...don't tap me on the shoulder next time. I almost fell apart because of you."
Seeing Xue Pan grinning innocently and about to drop his palm, Jia Cong hurriedly hid aside, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Isn't this about you? By the way, why does Brother Xue have time to come here?"
Xue Pan held his hands towards Jia Lian and the others and responded casually: "My mother said she wanted to come and talk to the old lady, so I followed her..."
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and it happened to be Xiu Mu. Mrs. Xue was very quiet and thought about it today. She wanted to come to Rongguo Mansion to visit the old lady, so Xue Pan escorted her mother here.
Hearing that the elder brother from the mansion had accompanied the Zhang family elder to the martial arts field for a competition, he immediately ran over happily.
Xue Pan's arrival immediately ignited fighting spirit in Zhang Kruu's eyes.
There was never any fear in the eyes of the fierce general brother, and he dragged him to the martial arts arena without even saying a word, insisting on deciding the winner.
Zhang Kruu's fighting spirit is indeed worthy of praise, but he was soon defeated in disgrace.
For Xue Pan, there was not even a handy weapon in the Jia family's martial arts arena.
He felt that the stick in his hand was too light and he was not used to it, so he threw it aside and started sparring with Zhang Kruu with his bare hands.
Zhang Kruu originally wanted to say that Xue Pan was being disrespectful, but before he could say anything, he felt like he was flying.
"Wow~"
Mr. Jing had just arrived at the martial arts arena with a bunch of little carrot heads, when he saw a swarthy man on the stage, lifting another strong man horizontally with both hands, and there was a man on top of a man...
Xue Pan was also educated under the name of Mr. Jing. Although he was unable to study, Mr. Xue Pan still liked his straightforward character.
Seeing the bunch of little carrot heads next to me, they clapped their hands and cheered, and they felt proud to be respectful to the elder.
Bang!
Xue Pan suddenly saw Mr. Jing, and subconsciously wanted to bow and stand.
As a result, Zhang Dalang fell to the ground. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Xue Pan on the side bowing to him.
"Students greet you sir. Good morning sir."
…
Jia Jing of Ning Rong's Jia family may not be the best at fighting, but he is definitely the smartest among them.
With military preparation and strategy, Mr. Jing is even stronger than Jia She, Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong and other veterans on the battlefield.
After Zhang Kruu saw the person clearly, he immediately got up from the ground and bowed to say hello.
This is a rare opportunity, so I must consult this former Eastern Palace think tank who once traveled across the desert.
"Brother Pan is getting better at martial arts, and he can compete with Zhang Dalang. Just in time, you all go up and practice martial arts, let me see if you have improved, and open the eyes of these kids."
Master Jing didn't want to miss this good opportunity, so he quickly divided Jia Lian and others into two teams and asked them to try their best to compete.
Including riding and shooting, fists and kicks, weapons, etc., they competed one by one. Jia Cong and Xue Pan were tied with Jia Lian, Liu Xianglian, and Zhang Kruu.
Even in the fist, foot and weapon competition, he was slightly superior.
Great strength, really amazing~
Jia Cong was already thinking in his mind, if he built a fine armor protective gear for Xue Pan, and then let him carry his Fangtian Painted Halberd, would this guy be a human bulldozer?
After Jia Lian and others performed martial arts, Mr. Jing sent the pile of dolls up, and several people selected their hands and began to compete in military formations.
All morning, the cheers in the martial arts field never stopped, and Zhang Kruu could see with his own eyes the background of the Jia family.
For example, Jia Lian's formation of troops, Jia Cong's shooting skills and strategies, Liu Xianglian's swordsmanship and spear skills, and Xue Pan, the reincarnated idiot overlord, were an eye-opener for him.
Looking again at Jia Jing, the former East Palace think tank who brought a group of mud monkeys back to the school, Zhang Kruu's eyes started to roll.
Compared with the Jia family, the British government is still inferior.
Why don't you let your grandfather resign all of Nao Shizi's official positions and follow Jia Jing's example and go to the clan to study and teach?
…
The Xue and Jia families were close friends. Mrs. Xue came all the way to Rongxi Hall and met the Crown Princess Zhang Baoer, and her sorrow deepened.
The prince already has a wife, but I still don’t have a clue about Brother Pan’s marriage, alas~
The girls went outside to play, and Mrs. Xue finally had the opportunity to express her bitterness to the old lady.
I remember that the old lady's impression of Xue Pan was not good at all, and she was afraid that her brother at home would be led astray by him.
But later I discovered that this man from the Xue family, who grinned and scratched his head whenever he spoke, was honest, generous and loyal.
As for the previous rumors about lust, the old lady sneered at it.
The Xue family has a fortune of millions, but what does it mean to have a concubine with more than ten rooms? It’s not like he raped a girl in broad daylight...
"Didn't you say that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to be a matchmaker for Brother Pan? Why can't he do it?"
When the old lady saw Mrs. Only my daughter-in-law can do it.”
"That's true, but Brother Pan's evil barrier... Well, old lady, you don't know. After seeing each other several times, that evil barrier ran to the East Palace and never came back as soon as he heard about this..."
Mrs. Xue got a headache when she talked about her son's visit to his wife. After pouring out the bitter water for the old lady, she sat in the Hall of Rongxi and sighed.
My nephew Xue Biao has made an agreement with the girl from the Xing family and is about to get engaged.
As the elder brother, Xue Pan's marriage has not yet been settled, and Mrs. Xue is almost worried to death about her son's marriage.
The old lady took Mrs. Xue's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, those so-called scholarly families will always say that Brother Pan is a rude man. But I think Brother Pan's straightforward temperament will be given to him in the future. He brings great luck. In this way, I will send someone to find Brother Cong. He has met many military generals in Hexi before and choose a suitable wife for our Brother Pan."
When Jia Cong was called to Rongxi Hall, he didn't even have time to change his clothes that were stained with dust and sweat.
"What? Looking for a wife for Brother Xue? This..."
When he heard that he was asked to find a wife for Xue Pan, everyone was shocked.
What happened recently? Why do you always have to lead others? Yuelao, this uncle is trying to steal your job!
In Mrs. Xue's hopeful eyes, the old lady gave Jia Cong an order.
"Your aunt is almost worried to death about Brother Pan's marriage. Since the daughter of the civil servant family is not happy, we will choose it from the family of a warrior. It makes no sense that a good brother would be without a wife?"
Jia Cong remembered what he had heard from Dai Yu before. It seemed that Xue Pan's marriage had never been settled. Not only did the civil servants dislike Xue Pan as a vulgar warrior, but it was more likely that Xue Pan had already fallen in love with her.
He hesitated again and again and said to the old lady and Mrs. Xue: "Well, let me first ask Brother Xue what he wants. If he is willing, I will communicate with several generals from Lanzhou and Ningxia Wei..."
…
Today there are distinguished guests at home, and the banquet is full of fine wine and delicious food.
Zhang Kruu had a good drinking capacity and kept toasting with Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian. Originally Xue Pan wanted to participate, but was pulled aside by Jia Cong.
"Brother Xue, I have to ask you something..."
Jia Cong did not cover up, but asked bluntly: "My aunt asked the old lady for your marriage. The old lady gave me a death order and asked me to find a suitable wife for you. If Brother Xue already has something in his heart, The one you love, please tell me clearly so that I can help you make a difference."
ah?
Xue Pan, who had just been eager to have a drink with someone, was stunned at the moment. Before Jia Cong finished speaking, the roots of his neck turned red and his whole body began to squirm.
Jia Cong knew at a glance that this guy really had someone he liked, otherwise he wouldn't be acting like a big girl.
He asked again: "It's already at this time, and Brother Xue is still hiding it? Auntie saw you looking at each other so easily, but she still hesitated. She thought you were a rabbit who only likes men..."
Aroused by Jia Cong's words, Xue Pan was not happy now.
Maybe because he drank some wine, he couldn't hide his words. He banged the table and started shouting loudly.
"Nonsense. I don't like men. I've already liked him. It's just that the situation in that family is not very good. I'm afraid my mother won't want to. She has always said that she would find me a noble girl from a noble family. If she knew that I liked him, I went to a tofu seller..."
