Zhang Yan sent Zhou Cang's adjutant Wang Bin to the gate and said goodbye to him.
Wang Bin came here just now, naturally on Zhou Cang's assignment, to inform Zhang Yan about Wu Yuan's death last night and about Yang Jie, the left-jun official of the county governor's mansion who had just arrived in Langyuan City today. Although the window paper was not broken, Zhang Yan had to accept this favor.
After returning to the room, Wang Lanping glanced at Erzi and wanted to ask curiously, but in the end she didn't ask.
"Mom, don't worry. It's just a small matter. But now that there is an extra person in the family, can you handle cooking alone? Do you want to ask someone to help?"
"What? Hire someone?! You have too much money, don't you?"
"No, I'm just asking. Just think that I just talked nonsense." Zhang Yan helped Wang Lanping with a smile. It is not an easy job for several people in the family to eat and drink every day. Zhang Yan would help whatever he could, otherwise Wang Lanping's body would not be able to bear the fatigue. Unfortunately, if you want to convince Wang Lanping to hire a servant, you will probably have to wait until Zhang Shun's business blossoms. Otherwise, Wang Lanping, who is diligent and thrifty, would definitely not agree. Even if Zhang Yan is now the head of the family, he still has to take care of his mother's insistence.
"Now that your eldest brother is married, my mother has let go of her worries. And judging from your sister-in-law's body, she is definitely a child-bearing person. The family will definitely be lively in the future. Haha, mother will be happy just thinking about it." Wang Lanping said with a happy face. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have melted away. But as he spoke, he smiled and said: "Yan'er, do you want your mother to help you with your affairs? Look at your eldest brother, how good your mother is with him? Even if you come here, you can't make a difference!"
Zhang Yan's hands shaking when he heard the dish selection.
"Mom, how old is the child? Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."
"Huh? Not in a hurry? Why aren't you in a hurry? Many people in Zhuzui Alley who are two years younger than you have their babies running around in the alley. Are you not in a hurry? Are you planning to wait until your mother dies before you look for her? ? You can decide other things, but you have to listen to me on this matter! Mrs. Zhang, who helped your elder brother as a matchmaker before, is very well-connected. I will definitely help you find a good family! "
Zhang Yan was a little panicked. Parents in the Wild World have a great say in their children's marriage. If Wang Lanping was determined to help him find a wife, he really couldn't refuse.
Does Zhang Yan want a wife? Thinking about it, but definitely not now. And he was also worried that Wang Lanping would find him a wife who was bigger and rounder than his sister-in-law. Wouldn't that be a dilemma?
However, Zhang Yan had a lively mind. He knew very well what Wang Lanping was most proud of right now, so he smiled and said, "Mom, do you know the background of Mr. Li Heli yesterday?"
"Yeah, I know! For such a big official, I'm so scared that I can't speak clearly. What's the matter? Did Mr. Li say anything?" Wang Lanping knew that Mr. Zhou, Mr. Li, whom he met for the first time, was No matter adults, they all come here because of the face of their second son. However, Wang Lanping didn't know how much affection there was, and she didn't dare to ask. At this time, Wang Lanping was also curious when she heard that the second son took the initiative to mention Mr. Li.
"Mom, that Mr. Li was sent here by Commander Shi of the Eastern Army. Firstly, he wanted to congratulate my eldest brother on his wedding, and secondly, he wanted to bring me a way to get here."
"Connection? What connection?"
"I was asked if I would like to be a teacher at the Martial Arts Academy, but it is not the usual kind of teaching martial arts to warriors, but a guest teacher in miscellaneous subjects. Do you think I should go or not?"
What Wang Lanping is most proud of now is that her son is becoming more and more promising. As long as you give her the idea of "Don't be in a hurry to find a wife, otherwise your son will find a wife too quickly. Slow down your search and find the best one." Then the matter of Zhang Yan's marriage can be put on hold.
Sure enough, Zhang Yan was so frightened by Wang Lanping that his hands were shaking just now, and now Wang Lanping was so frightened by Zhang Yan's words that he knocked the vegetable basin in his hand to the ground. He turned around and looked at Zhang Yan without caring and asked urgently, "Yan'er, don't lie to your mother!"
"Mom, why did I lie to you? Do you want me to go? If I go, things will change in the future, and it won't be as stable as it is now. You have to go slow when talking about your wife. If you are in a hurry Say hello to me, or else I’ll go back to Marshal Shi and say forget it?”
"Bah! Go! If you don't go, my mother will be mad at you!" Wang Lanping was quite excited. At this time, I don’t want to think about Zhang Yan’s marriage or not. This is a major event for entering an official career! How many generations are there in the Zhang family? Which one has ever entered an official career? That’s being an official! What a great event to honor our ancestors! How could you hinder your son's future? !
"Then the marriage will be..."
"Humph! I knew you were planning this!" Wang Lanping was angry and funny. She slapped Zhang Yan on the back, and then said with a smile: "I will listen to you first and won't tell you about my wife. But you You have to work hard! Don't waste such a rare opportunity.
Also, no matter how capable you are, mother, if you owe someone a favor, you must not forget it. Our Zhang family must know how to repay a favor, do you understand? "
Zhang Yan responded with a smile. Then I felt relieved, knowing that I would not be forced to get married for the time being. Thinking about the last life on earth, the master died early. He wandered around without anyone to care about him, and he never enjoyed the treatment of urging marriage. This life actually made him gain knowledge.
When it came to talking about the martial arts academy, Wang Lanping's words turned to the other side. He asked curiously: "I heard that the martial arts academy is full of masters of martial arts. It is the school where the masters of martial arts study, and they also teach some boxing and kicking skills. Yan'er, what can you teach others when you go in?"
Zhang Yan helped put away the vegetable basin that Wang Lanping had just knocked over, and replied: "I am here to be a "guest teacher", and the things I teach are not the same as those of warriors, so there is nothing I can't teach. I really need someone." If you want to learn, I still have a lot of things in my hands. I have no problem handling errands."
Wang Lanping didn't understand even if he said too much, Zhang Yan just wanted to not make the other party worry. There was a conversation following him sentence after sentence.
In fact, what Zhang Yan said to Wang Lanping was not wrong at all, and even seemed modest.
What Zhang Yan holds in his mind is the knowledge accumulated by dozens of generations in another world. Even if he doesn't remember much of it, it is equally astonishing to take it out. Otherwise, how could he have fooled a general scholar like Luo Changshan into a daze?
In addition to knowledge, Zhang Yan also has a collection of the most elite methods since the Dragon Tiger Mountain Sect was founded. Although the most important ones are magic and Shinto means, there are also other methods that are included. For example, the victory-weary technique he used to kill the Wu family father and son is one of them. Another example is the physical cultivation discipline that he has no interest in getting involved in for the time being.
In fact, physical training is the same as that of the warriors in the Wild Sky Realm. The main training is the physical body and the secondary training is Qi. It's just that physical training cultivates true energy and spiritual energy, while warriors in the wilderness area cultivate vitality. Judging from Zhang Yan's understanding, the two actually have quite a lot in common. If Zhang Yan is willing, these physical training things can also be used to make him prosperous in the Jiangwu Academy.
