When his daughter asked this question, Zhao Zuoliang was also stunned.
He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that he never seemed to care too much about Su Yonglin's appearance.
From the moment he knew Su Yonglin existed, what he cared about most was what he did and said, not what he looked like.
His words and actions always attract attention, making strangers pay attention to him involuntarily.
After making achievements, all I have left is admiration for him, and everything else has been pushed to the back.
What everyone is paying more attention to is his achievements, that is, when he defeated the Jin people again, expanded his territory, increased his army, and was very likely to overthrow the Jin Dynasty court and replace it.
The rest really doesn't matter.
But if you think about it carefully, Su Yonglin's appearance is quite correct, even a bit delicate.
In Zhao Zuoliang's memory, he still remembered that Zhao Kaihe, a rough and tumble man, had disliked Su Yonglin's image as a weak scholar with a soft appearance, red lips and white teeth, and did not look like a rebellious man at all.
Zhao Kaihe even laughed at him for this, saying that he was a scholar who had rebelled for ten years.
Later, Su Yonglin probably noticed that his appearance was not suitable in a place like the army, so he deliberately grew a beard to make him look a little more stable.
But his youthful appearance with red lips and white teeth cannot be completely covered up by a beard. It can even be said that he is not suitable for the beard style.
He took off his beard, put on the attire of a Confucian scholar, held a sage's book in his hand, took a step with a cadence, and that seemed to fit his image.
But now, who still cares about Su Yonglin's appearance?
It’s only Zhao Xirui…
So Zhao Zuoliang described Su Yonglin's appearance in his memory.
"His appearance is quite dignified, even a bit delicate. If it weren't for his beard, at first glance, he would have thought he was a young man from a well-known family who was entering school. He was holding a scroll instead of a knife.
At first, many people in the tribe felt that General Su was more like a scholar than a general, but now, looking at what he has done... he probably means that people should not be judged by their appearance, right? "
Zhao Xirui said "Oh" after hearing this, a little curious.
"This is interesting. In the previous dynasty, Di Qing, the border general, had to wear a mask with a ghost face during battle to scare the enemy because of his handsome appearance. Later, his son was also called "human-looking" because of his handsome appearance. Is it just to make a good talk? Will Su Qiaoqi do the same?"
Zhao Zuoliang thought for a while and nodded.
"If it were not a troubled time, but a prosperous one, General Su would look like a normal person if he dressed up a little. Of course, appearance is not the most important thing. In these troubled times, appearance is not the first priority."
"That's natural."
Zhao Xirui agreed with this, but he also had other thoughts in his mind.
It is true that she cannot make the decision on her own marriage, especially at this time, her father has chosen a husband for her, and she only needs to follow her father's orders and marry him, nothing else matters.
But the man should never be too ugly.
If it is too ugly, how will we live in the future? Even if you are pretending, you can't pretend to be respectful to each other, right?
Not to mention getting along day and night and even having children.
How uncomfortable is that?
This is her most authentic thought as a young girl.
[Even if it is a marriage decided by my parents, even if I sacrifice for my family, I still hope to marry a handsome man, so that I can persuade myself to accept the marriage. 】
Having said that, if it really doesn't work out, she has no choice but to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, and lament her life with an ugly face all day long.
So Zhao Xirui prayed silently, praying that her father had not lied to her and that Su Yonglin was really good-looking.
This is not important to others, but to her, it is really important.
What else can I say?
This damn human society is based on face.
In order to prevent a long night and many dreams, the first meeting between the two was scheduled for the next day.
On April 16, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the temperature was pleasant.
Su Yonglin personally visited the Zhao family's residence. Zhao Zuoliang and his two sons greeted Su Yonglin outside the door.
The two were polite for a while, and Zhao Zuoliang introduced his two sons, Zhao Xiuye and Zhao Liye, to Su Yonglin.
To be honest, Zhao Xiuye is the type that I don't like at first glance. He doesn't have the temperament of Zhao Zuoliang at all, and he has a very obvious sense of philistinism.
He looks like the kind of official yamen who bullies men, bullies women and runs amok in exaggerated TV dramas.
Can anyone really have such an exaggerated sense of déjà vu?
Su Yonglin was quite surprised.
However, the man's spirit was a little weak at the moment. After seeing Su Yonglin, he felt that his whole momentum was suppressed. It seems that he was severely controlled by Zhao Zuoliang and was deeply reflecting on the mistakes he had made before.
Anyway, Zhao Zuoliang has nothing else to do right now. If he has enough time to keep an eye on him, his life will definitely be difficult.
As for Zhao Liye, he felt like he was a useless scholar.
He is thin, not tall, and submissive. His face has no vitality and basically no momentum. He seems to be living in some kind of shadow.
He looks like a timid and cowardly person, with the feeling of following the rules all his life and not daring to do anything out of the ordinary.
Fooled by reading?
Or is it that Zhao Zuoliang, a father, is too cruel and beats his son?
How did Zhao Zuoliang raise his son?
How did you bring up two young men to this point?
If you are raising a son like this, is it really okay to raise a daughter?
Su Yonglin had serious doubts about Zhao Zuoliang's family education. He suspected that Zhao Zuoliang had committed fraud in order to promote his daughter, and began to worry about his married life.
Having said that, both of them look pretty decent, not ugly, and...
Now that they have arrived, Su Yonglin has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet and follow Zhao Zuoliang into the mansion, where he meets Zhao Zuoliang's wife and is greeted with polite greetings.
The courtesies came and went, but Su Yonglin didn't see the real owner. He felt that the family might be trying to heighten the atmosphere, so he patiently accompanied them to heighten the atmosphere and answered some insignificant personal questions, such as birth date and what books he had read. Category.
About a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Zhao put the topic on track with a smile and said that Zhao Xirui was waiting for him in the small flower pavilion in the backyard and hoped that he would go there alone.
"It's not convenient for us to get involved in the matters between you, so we won't go there. You can talk about it yourself. There are some things that we, the elders, can't solve."
"Yes, Yuting, you young people should resolve some matters by yourselves, and we will not participate."
The meaning is very clear. Go and have a look. I hope I can satisfy you. If you are not satisfied, please bear with me. The worst thing I can do is take a concubine in the future. Just don’t make it difficult for us.
It's just that, our two families are dependent on each other.
So Su Yonglin bowed quietly and followed the Zhao family's servant to the small flower pavilion in the backyard.
Having said that, this mansion was specially selected by Su Yonglin for the Zhao family. It was originally the residence of a Jin Kingdom official in Hejian City, but now it has become a property directly controlled by Su Yonglin.
The architecture of the mansion has quite local characteristics, the materials are exquisite, and the environment is very elegant. With a little renovation, it will become a very nice private residence, and there is also a nice small garden. Su Yonglin thinks Zhao Xirui would like it.
Therefore, this mansion was gifted to Zhao family by Su Yonglin.
Anyway, Su Yonglin now owns a large amount of real estate.
It can be said that during the entire war, all the property of the Jin people that Su Yonglin killed through military campaigns were all his spoils.
Including but not limited to military supplies, money, and properties and real estate owned by official Jin Kingdom figures in the city, all are spoils of war.
As a house brother, Su Yonglin thought that by then the world would be peaceful and the economy would improve, and he would be able to make a lot of money by selling houses and land—if the new government was short of money by then.
I followed Zhao's old servant for a short distance, and after twists and turns, I arrived at a small garden.
"My old servant is here. General Su, please help yourself."
The old servant stopped at the gate of the garden: "Old servant is waiting here. If the general needs anything, just call me."
"good."
Su Yonglin nodded and entered the garden.
