Upon learning that Zhuge Liang was coming, Zhang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Zhang Xi feels that his abilities are limited. At least compared to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi is really incompetent in writing and martial arts.
Zhang Xi thinks that in an area like Jingzhou Nanjun that has developed to a certain scale, Zhang Xi is still qualified to be responsible for some daily government affairs and to support the eunuch who engages in daily intrigues with local aristocratic families.
But in a complex place like Nanzhong, where Han and Yi people live together, and the rebellion has just been put down, and it also involves a lot of profit distribution issues, Zhang Xi is really unable to do what he wants.
In Nanzhong, Zhang Xi not only had to face the intrigues of the wealthy families in Nanzhong, but also faced various frequent harassments from aristocratic families from all over Yizhou, and even from Jingzhou aristocratic families. Dealing with these people was really too tiring and tiring. .
To be honest, Zhang Xi really doesn’t understand. It’s understandable that the Yizhou family is arguing with him over the Nanzhong mineral deposits. After all, it’s a treasure right at the door of his house. If he doesn’t take it back, he would be sorry for his ancestors. Jingzhou families, what are you doing here? lively? !
If you transport it back so far, you will suffer a big loss just for the shipping fee. Do you know that? !
But the Jingzhou family said, in fact, it is not impossible for us to branch out to Yizhou, or even develop in Nanzhong. The Kuai family and the Huang family are extremely enthusiastic about this.
Zhang Xi is really not good at dealing with these things, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also know that Zhang Xi is not good at these things, so Zhuge Liang has to come.
Liu Bei is in charge of Chengdu, Fa Zheng is in charge, and Pang Tong is assisting him, so nothing serious can happen.
But Nanzhong was supported by Zhang Xi alone, and Zhuge Liang was really worried.
Although Zhang Xi is not alone, Ma Di, who came back from the negotiations with the White Horse Department, really helped Zhang Xi a lot. As a member of the Jingzhou family, Ma Di has enough experience in facing the welcome and delivery of various aristocratic families. Zhang Xi had asked Ma Su to do many things that he had to do with the aristocratic family.
Zhang Xi took this opportunity to start dealing with some things that he felt he could handle.
First of all, the daughters of Meng Huo's family have been staying with his apprentice for almost three months. Now that Meng Huo has returned to Wei County, Zhang Xi quickly ordered his disciples to send the daughters back.
If you don't send it back, something will happen, and it will be very lively.
Then, Zhang Xi saw his disciples returning to Wei County with the pregnant Guan Yinping and a melancholy-looking Hua Wan.
Zhang Xi is really angry. You guys are capable and efficient enough, but you haven't been allowed to lead troops to fight for three months, so you actually have this free time to get your wife pregnant? !
But at the same time, I felt lucky that it was Guan Yinping who was pregnant and not Meng Huo's daughter, otherwise things would have been troublesome.
The interest entanglement in Nanzhong has already given Zhang Xi a headache. If you hook up with Meng Huo's daughter again, the interest entanglement here will cause your master's brain to shut down.
Feeling melancholy, Zhang Xi quickly sent someone to send Meng Huo home, while his apprentice and his wife Zhang Xi also quickly prepared to pack and send them to Chengdu.
We can't let this young couple continue to stay in Nanzhong.
In the coming days in Nanzhong, not only will the weather get hotter and hotter, but the miasma and heat will also rise. If a pregnant woman from outside is not accustomed to the local environment, something will happen to you. Well, Zhang Xi can already see the second master carrying Qinglong Yanyue Sword came to settle accounts with him.
It would be better to have Chengdu, let Deng Ai escort Guan Yinping back to Chengdu to recuperate and prepare for childbirth, which would be an explanation to the second master.
As for the flower garlands, Zhang Xi asked Deng Ai again and again, and was relieved after making sure that Deng Ai had not done anything to disgrace his wife because she was pregnant.
But Meng Huo was uneasy.
My daughter, you are also sixteen, and you are also beautiful. Whether in Wei County or Zhurong, there are many young men who want to marry you. Why can't you even win over a boy in his twenties? ? !
The aggrieved one in Huawan. I didn’t expect that boy to be pregnant.
Meng Huo was confused at that time. Is this human language? !
After Hua Wan explained the whole story, Meng Huo sent someone to find out whether there was something wrong with his intelligence. The man surnamed Deng was the direct disciple of the governor, and the general was Liu Bei's brother, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang. daughter.
Meng Huo's embarrassing... So what, daughter, this time it's my father's fault, but... will you try harder and take down that boy named Deng? !
Huawan was unhappy on the spot.
Although, Deng Ai is indeed very kind to Hua Wan and has always been polite to Hua Wan. Moreover, after finding out the truth of the matter, Hua Wan no longer regards Deng Ai as a "love rival". But that's me My best friend’s husband.
How can you compete with your best friend for your husband? !
But Meng Huo said, I didn’t ask you to rob her, but asked you to join the family. Men these days, no matter what the conditions, don’t have a concubine.
Although our family's status is a bit low, being a concubine is a bit low, but the problem is that it is one of the guarantees for our family's future. Both the Meng family and the Zhurong family must seize this opportunity.
If it were still the old Nanzhong, where the Meng family was a powerful local and the Zhurong tribe respected women, Huawan could find a man she liked and "marry" her, and then inherit the position of leader of the Zhurong tribe.
But now in Nanzhong, various forces are complex, and huge interests will inevitably bring about very big changes. Even the Meng family dare not say how well they can do in Nanzhong in the future, let alone the Zhu Rong tribe.
Therefore, Huawan had the opportunity to marry a disciple of the governor of Gaijian, the Meng family, and the Zhu Rong family could marry high-ranking officials in Chengdu. This opportunity could not be missed.
If the age difference hadn't been too big, Meng Huo really loved his daughter and didn't want her to be too wronged. He had the intention to send the flower garland directly to Zhang Xi's mansion. Wouldn't this be better than marrying Zhang Xi's disciple? !
After hearing this, Huawan felt that her three views were about to be subverted.
It turned out that his father, who had always loved him very much, actually held such a terrible view on his lifelong happiness.
Is the survival of the family and tribe more important than his own daughter? !
Hua Wan could not accept it and insisted. But Hua Wan did not expect that his mother would also join in persuading him.
Mrs. Zhu Rong also lamented that she had protected her daughter so well that her daughter still retains a pure and kind attitude.
That's not a bad thing, but in this day and age, it's not a good thing.
Mrs. Zhu Rong persuaded her daughter not to be as straightforward as Meng Huo, but to tactfully use herself as an example.
When the Zhu Rong tribe married the Meng family and asked Mrs. Zhu Rong to marry Meng Huo, was it really Mrs. Zhu Rong's choice? !
Not only did the previous leader of the Zhu Rong tribe, Hua Wan's grandmother, take a fancy to the Meng family's power and influence in Nanzhong, but the Zhu Rong tribe was also seeking Meng's protection by marrying the Meng family.
Although Mrs. Zhu Rong did not do it willingly, judging from the results, Mrs. Zhu Rong did not feel that she was dissatisfied with this marriage. Meng Huo was very kind to her, she had enough freedom, and the relationship between the husband and wife was also very affectionate.
So, how does Huawan know that marrying Deng Ai as a concubine will definitely mean she will be unhappy? !
As for the women around her husband, Meng Huo did not only have Mrs. Zhu Rong, he also had concubines.
Besides, if we girls from the Zhurong Department feel that they are living a good life, then we can stay and live there. But if you feel that your husband is not treating you well, you can also come back and inherit the family business of the Zhurong Department. You are not required to follow Like a Han woman, tied to a man.
Now, it is true that your father and mother are sorry for you and force you to share a husband with your friend, but this may not be your happiness.
The flower wand slowly wavered.
Huawan can no longer understand the current situation, and feels that the carefree life before has gradually left her.
Although she still doesn't want to, Hua Wan understands that whether it's for her father or her mother, she seems to have to shamelessly seduce her former "love rival", even if this "love rival" is her best friend and first love's husband.
Huawan really doesn’t know what to do.
But in the end, Huawan rode a curly red rabbit horse and caught up with Deng Ai and Guan Yinping who were about to return to Chengdu. On the grounds of escorting Guan Yinping, they asked to go to Chengdu together.
Guan Yinping looked at her best friend with a gloomy expression at that time. Her stupid husband was still frowning and dissatisfied, not realizing what this meant at all, but Guan Yinping, as a woman and wife, was very keenly aware of Huawan's intention.
Why don't you just send yourself back to Chengdu? You still don't want to give up and want to be your "sister".
What does it mean that Guan Yinping is also dissatisfied with Hua Wan's practice? I treat you so well, so I expect you to have some conscience, but in the end this is the result? !
It’s hard to guard against a best friend, right? !
I thought it would be over if I hid it from you, but I didn’t expect that you would be so shameless as to catch up on your own? !
Hua Wan was also a little afraid to face Guan Yinping, but in the end, she still endured her embarrassment, pulled Guan Yinping, hid in the carriage and began to mutter.
After all, Huawan was a kind child and didn't want to hide it from her best friend. Therefore, she told Guan Yinping about her situation and her parents' expectations after returning home this time, and asked her best friend, in this case , what can I do? !
I don't like your husband either. His tall and thick appearance is not my type. You know that I prefer gentle and gentle men.
But now I have no choice but to find a way for your husband to marry me as his concubine, otherwise my parents will not feel at ease.
Guan Yinping also felt a little soft-hearted, feeling a little sorry for her best friend's situation.
But a soft heart is a soft heart. Don't even think about sharing your husband.
Guan Yinping is now wondering if there is anyone he knows well in Chengdu who can guarantee Meng's interests in Nanzhong and is single and unmarried at the same time.
My husband can't share it with you, but I can introduce you to a husband with a high status. This may be possible.
As for the two of us, we can be sisters, but in this special situation, it’s better not to be sisters.
