[I just received the second dose of vaccine in the past two days. Nothing happened with the first dose. I had some adverse reactions with the second dose. I had continuous headaches. It is not cured yet. I can only maintain it for one update. I would like to say sorry to everyone. . 】
It was a lively journey towards the East District.
On the street, when someone saw this team, their expressions suddenly changed and they ran out in a hurry.
Although it was early in the morning, the city was already quite busy. When encountering something like this now, how could you not go over and take a look at the excitement? Groups of small and large people followed behind, talking and guessing. Watching the team heading towards the East District, you could tell at a glance that this was a marriage proposal. She must be the daughter of a wealthy family.
A group of people soon arrived in the East District and walked towards a huge mansion.
If you look carefully, you will see that it is the Zhang family.
"It's the Zhang family. This is the way to the Zhang family."
"The Zhang family is a truly famous family. The third lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhiyu, is the most beautiful woman in Fengge City. She is famous all over the world. Everyone knows it. After all, it is time to leave the court."
"I heard that the third lady of the Zhang family is preparing to participate in the draft and enter the palace to serve the emperor. I have never heard of her getting married before. What is going on? Logically speaking, the banker is also a scholarly family. No You might do something that is disrespectful, and there is something going on here."
"Yeah, I've never heard of any connection between the banker and the Zhang family before. This thing is a bit strange."
Watching the marriage proposal team walking towards the Zhang family, the people following them all had curious eyes and strange looks on their faces.
Now the imperial court has long released the news of the draft. Although the Daqing Dynasty did not force women of appropriate age to participate in the draft, they could not help but get married. Of course, generally anyone who is determined to change their destiny would not choose to get married. By participating in the draft, you may become a real nobleman. .
The Zhang family even announced that they would participate in the draft, and there was no way they would get married at this time.
Arriving in front of Zhang's house and looking at the door in front of him, Zhuang Buzhou showed a meaningful expression.
The main door of a house is divided into a front door and a side door. Generally speaking, the front door is not open. Unless it is to receive important guests or even during holidays, the middle door can be opened wide. Otherwise, you usually go in and out through the side door. In and out.
This is the case with the Zhang family.
The doors are closed now.
However, today, Zhuang Buzhou wanted to enter through the gate.
"Feng Gu, knock on the door."
"Today, I am here to make a betrothal appointment and confirm the wedding date. There is no reason to go through the side door. I should enter through the front door with all due etiquette."
Zhuang Buzhou gestured.
"Young Master Zhuang is absolutely right. You have a marriage certificate with you. This time you come to make an appointment, it is just for confirmation. Of course you have to go through the front door. You are the legitimate future uncle of the Zhang family." Aunt Feng said with a chuckle.
Feng Gu is a middle-aged woman, and her appearance is still the type of charm. She has a pair of phoenix eyes, and her face naturally gives people a strong sense of intimacy, which makes people feel close to each other unconsciously. There is a well-known matchmaker in Fengge City. If you can invite her, no matter it is a man or a woman, it will be more respectable. If she wants to be a matchmaker, she is a sure shot. With her mouth, she can tell you anything.
That's called a beauty.
In this city, it is quite respectable.
Bang bang bang! !
Feng Gu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The copper rings collided and made a crisp sound.
"Who are you? Why did you come to the gate of my Zhang family?"
At this time, a short, fat, middle-aged man walked out of the side door. This was the Zhang family's butler, named Wan Fu. Seeing the team in front of him, his expression changed and he quickly spoke.
"My name is Zhuang Qiling. I'm here this time to propose marriage, in order to fulfill the marriage contract between my family, Zhuang and Zhang."
"Go and report to Uncle Zhang that the banker Qi Ling will come to fulfill the contract and marry Zhang Zhiyu, the third daughter of the Zhang family."
Zhuang Buzhou said with a faint smile.
His voice was neither slow nor hasty, with a hint of calmness and a hint of confidence.
"Mr. Zhuang, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the lady."
Wan Fu's face changed drastically, and he secretly said something bad. Zhang Zhiyu was going to participate in the talent show, and suddenly a fiancé appeared. He came to hire him and wanted to fulfill the engagement. How can this work? Everyone in the Zhang family hopes that Zhang Zhiyu can successfully enter the palace and even have the opportunity to compete for that distinguished position. Now that a marriage contract has appeared, it is like a bolt from the blue.
He immediately turned around and ran back to the palace. His short and fat body was actually very flexible, and he ran to the inner palace in a blink of an eye.
"It's not good, it's not good."
"Something serious has happened."
Wanfu rushed to the main hall and saw everyone from the Zhang family sitting in the main hall. The leader was Zhang Dejun, the eldest son of the Zhang family, followed by Zhang Dehuai, the second eldest son, and Zhang Debiao, the third eldest son of the Zhang family. This is the generation that is currently in power in the Zhang family. Next are Zhang Zhiyu and Zhang Chengfeng. In their generation, the men belong to the Cheng generation, and the women belong to the Zhang family's inheritance lineage.
Zhang Zhiyu is the head of the family and has a good status. Above him is the second brother Zhang Chengfeng, the eldest brother Zhang Chenglin, and below him is the fourth brother Zhang Chengyu. As the direct descendants of the master's family, they are naturally qualified to dine in the main hall. Other children, such as those born in the second and third bedrooms, are not eligible to come over for meals and can only open another table next to them.
In wealthy families, eating without talking or making any noise is a rule. This is etiquette.
It is also a kind of tutoring.
Naturally, offspring from wealthy families are often born with superior temperament. This is due to their family upbringing and upbringing since childhood. They are never two separate words, they are one word.
This kind of family education and temperament is a measure of the class between people, especially in ancient times.
Some nouveau riche may have a fortune, but they are not recognized and respected by aristocratic families. Instead, they are disgusted by the smell of copper. Do not regard the other person as a person of the same class.
Therefore, some nouveau riche families must settle down for three generations before they can qualify to be called a famous family.
Because the family heritage and various upbringings take generations to accumulate and enhance. Many people are ruined before they can complete their precipitation. It is easy to get rich quickly, but it is difficult to become a famous family.
Obviously, the Zhang family is a real family.
Some rules and upbringing are all developed since childhood. Even the dandy children from such a family will still surpass most ordinary people in terms of temperament and ability. Not to mention unfair, there is no absolute in this world. fair. Peace in the world is the greatest fairness.
Seeing Wanfu running in in a hurry, looking like he was yelling, Zhang Dejun couldn't help but frown. His face was calm, he looked at Wanfu and scolded: "Why are you panicking? I have already said that every day When it comes to big things, you have to be calm and calm before you can come up with a solution. No matter how big the problem is, there are ways to solve it. This kind of behavior will only do bad things. After you finish the matter, you can go down and receive the punishment yourself. I’ll fine you one month’s salary.”
Between his brows, the majesty of the family master is revealed.
"Yes, sir."
When Wanfu heard this, he calmed down his panic expression, took a deep breath and agreed.
"Tell me what happened that made you so panicked."
Zhang Dejun nodded and asked.
"It's outside the door. Someone came to propose marriage outside the door."
Wan Fu swallowed his saliva and then continued: "The person who came is Zhuang Qiling, the eldest young master of the banker. He said that he came here with a marriage certificate to fulfill the engagement and to marry the third lady. Now the matchmaker Feng Gu has arrived. , right outside the door."
Snapped! !
A bowl and dish fell to the ground. It was the bowl that Zhang Zhiyu had held in her hand before, and the lotus seed soup in the bowl was scattered on the ground. Although her face was calm and expressionless, she could feel the inner feelings from the movements of her hands. Not peaceful.
There was a wry smile in my heart: He actually had a marriage certificate. I didn't expect to take it out at this time. His illness has recovered. Could it be that he already knew about the heart-eating worms in his body? The second brother didn't come back last night. Could something have happened? . Such a swaggering proposal of marriage and making the marriage certificate public made the draft a completely impossible matter this time.
All kinds of thoughts kept flashing in my mind.
Apparently, the previous fears came true.
The marriage certificate that was regarded as a hidden danger at the beginning has really appeared, and it is still at the door. Now, it has been made public. There is no doubt that the entire Fengge City will be stirred up by this matter, and there will be a lot of discussion. Ordinary marriage certificates can still be used as a marriage contract. It is false, but this is a signed marriage contract, which has a powerful contractual effect. That contract is a witness to the possession of the Nine Netherworld River. The consequences of violating it are not that simple.
"The young master of the banker, I remember, has a reputation as a scholar. His family has been a scholar for generations, he is a son of a famous family, and his character is also outstanding. I didn't expect that he has such a connection with the master of the family. It is really unexpected. However, Zhang Qiling and San Among the nieces, they are both talented and handsome. I would also like to congratulate my eldest brother."
The third child, Zhang Debiao, suddenly grinned and looked at Zhang Dejun with interest.
Originally, the eldest son was going to participate in the draft this time. With Zhang Zhiyu's talent and appearance, there was a 90% certainty that he would be able to enter the palace, and it would even be expensive. By then, the prestige of the eldest son would be absolutely unrivaled, and the Zhang family would still be the eldest son. Fang has the final say, and if something unexpected happens now, Zhang Debiao is happy to see it happen.
"Third brother, what are you talking about? You clearly know that Zhiyu is going to participate in the draft. Once she enters the palace, my Zhang family will be in a better position. It will be good for everyone."
Zhang Dehuai frowned and said: "Boss, why haven't we heard about the engagement? You should have told us about this kind of thing earlier. Now it suddenly appears and things are out of control. "
This second guy is not bad looking, with a solemn look on his face, and impressive eyebrows.
"Back then, I had a close friendship with Zhuang Qiling's father. We made this marriage contract after a drunken meeting. The marriage contract used a contract scroll. After signing, it was made in duplicate. If you want to break the contract, both parties must agree. Originally, Seeing that Zhuang Qiling is terminally ill and has been dying for a long time, I have never heard the marriage mentioned again by the banker. I thought that everything would be over and it would not be a big deal. I didn’t expect that something unexpected happened now. This was my negligence. "
Zhang Dejun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After opening them, he spoke slowly.
