Chapter 143: Proposal

Zhang Zuolin is an old man, and he finally relented when he saw him, so why wouldn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue? Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, although the red peony has a low status, her appearance is still good, Zhang Hanqing is young and has an appetite, and she will definitely not restrain herself in women. If you don't give him a reassurance, this matter won't go well today. He thought about it and said, "If you don't agree with this family business, after you and Feng Zhi get married, you find another woman outside, I can ignore it." "For Zhang Zuolin, it is really not a stain for a man to marry a few concubines, as long as Yu Fengzhi is the main room.

This is acceptable! This sentence is enough, and in an instant, Zhang Hanqing decided to accept it when he saw it. The situation is irreversible, so why insist on dogma and don't know how to respond? Zhang Hanqing has a talent for adaptability, he thinks like this: "If people can't change the environment, they have to adapt to the environment." Then I thought to myself, "I'm still very adaptable!" ”

For the marriage of this eldest son, Zhang Zuolin has put a lot of effort into it, and he has also consumed a lot of brain cells in a few years. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are very grand in Chinese tradition, and since Zhang Hanqing is relieved, he will strike while the iron is hot. Afraid of long nights and dreams, he personally contacted two famous shops in Fengtian, and asked the newly married Mrs. Shou to help select a large number of gold and silver jewelry and many valuable items as a dowry, ready to choose a good day in the near future for Zhang Hanqing to personally come to the door to propose, and decided to marry the two on August 8 of this year.

Marriage in this era is somewhat similar to modern times, and it is still a trilogy of media, betrothal, and marriage. Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to this marriage, although he is a big man, it does not prevent him from using the ancient style of three books and six rites to prepare ceremoniously, who let him have many disciples who understand the ancient style of three books and six rites.

The first step is called Nacai, which is to propose marriage, and the two of them made an appointment with Yu Wendou at the beginning, which is extremely effective, which is equivalent to the "letter of appointment" in the "three books";

The second step is to ask for a name, which has been done a long time ago, if it weren't for the good name of "Fengzhi", Zhang Zuolin would not have been so insistent;

The third step is Najib, which is to combine the eight characters, and the two have already met: "Jiangmen Huzi" and "Phoenix Life Qianjin" are made in heaven and earth, and they are rare in the world (Zhang Hanqing: This fortune teller is really eloquent, it's hard for him);

The fourth step is to collect the levy, also known as the big gift, which is to bring a gift to the door, which is what Zhang Hanqing is doing now. It is convenient to go from Fengtian to Zhengjiatun to take the railway, along the South Manchurian Railway to the north, through Tieling to Siping, all the way is flat. But when you get to Siping, you need to take a carriage to Zhengjiatun, and the railway branch line of this time and space has not yet been paved here.

At the same time, he also has a "Book of Rites" in his hand, which is the second book of the "Three Books". It is rare for Zhang Hanqing to go to his future mother-in-law's house, so Zhang Zuolin decided to combine the "levy" and the "invitation", which was scheduled for August 8. In normal times, the man completes the "invitation period" at least one month before the marriage, that is, the man chooses an auspicious day for marriage and asks for the consent of the woman's family. The days are a bit urgent, but I guess the Yu family won't deny it, right?

After this step is completed, it will be the last step to greet in person, this Zhang Hanqing has seen a lot, isn't that just marrying the bride into the cave room, it's still a little early. Naturally, the third book in the "Three Books", "Yingshu", was handed in at that time.

Ascending to the mother-in-law's door is the first time in the world for Zhang Hanqing, whether in the past life or in this life.

As the young master of the provincial city of Fengtian, he could have had better transportation treatment, but he still chose to ride a horse. First, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble when changing trains, and you also need to hire a local horse-drawn carriage; Second, the land reform method that I had already scheduled for a long time needed to be selected, and I finally felt shallow on paper, and I never knew that I had to do it. Take a walk and take a look, it may be of great help to your own reform ideas.

What he saw along the way made Zhang Hanqing intuitively realize for the first time the dilemma that the Northeast is in now: not to mention the presence of Japanese troops in Fengtian, and the garrisons in Tieling, Siping and Changchun, the key is that the Japanese on both sides of the railway have circled a large amount of territory, making both sides of the South Manchurian Railway a place for the Japanese to keep themselves. Because these places are large cities formed by history, the land is fertile, the resources are abundant, and the transportation is convenient, so the people are prosperous; However, the large area leading to the junction of Jilin and Mongolia is sparsely populated and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, forming a strong contrast between the two. There is also plenty of water here, so if you don't grow crops in such a large area, wouldn't you waste good land? When the Northeast can reclaim all the wasteland like this, the prosperity of the Northeast will be just around the corner.

After passing through the Zhaosutai River, the situation changed again. The confluence of the East Liao River and the West Liao River in Kangping County, at this time, the water flow is turbulent, and the amount of water is also much larger through the Sutai River. Perhaps because of this, there are many boats on the river that shuttle between the north and the south, making a living from water transportation. Less than 100 miles to the north, you will see a wharf that has been almost deserted, and two waterways can be vaguely seen upstream. The place where this depression is. He thought it was Zhengjiatun, pouted and said, "Zhengjiatun is nothing more than that, and it is said that this is an important commercial town." ”

The history books say that Yu Fengzhi's beauty and the prosperity of the Yu family, after his own actual evidence, the dark psychology of "getting both people and money" is gone. In such a depressed place, where can the Yu family prosper? In this case, the beauty of the fiancée described in the book is very likely to be the "Venerable One". This made him a little disappointed, and he suffered from gains and losses, and finally rose a little beautiful vision of a new life like a broken pig urine bubble.

As a representative of Zhang Zuolin's side, Zhang Zuoxiang served as the general manager of Zhang Hanqing's trip. He was well-informed, and smiled at Zhang Hanqing and said, "Zhengjiatun is still far away." It is called Sanjiangkou, which was originally the terminal wharf of the Liao River. In the past, Sanjiangkou was the wharf of Zhengjiatun, and Zhengjiatun was the main street of Sanjiangkou, relying on each other, so Zhengjiatun once had the reputation of 'Sand Desert Treasure Road'. Later, King Durhan allowed the waterway to be extended to Zhengjiatun, and the wharf was naturally moved to the bank of the West Liao River near Zhengjiatun, which was called the Liao River Wharf. The ships we have seen in the past few days, if they go north, they will end at Zhengjiatun. The southernmost place, up to Yingkou, because Zhengjiatun is a place where merchants must go back and forth between the north and the south, so the business is prosperous, and the wealth of the common people is no less than that of Fengtian. It's just a little smaller. ”

When he talked about this, he said wittily: "Young marshal, your Lord Taishan, I heard that he originally went to Guandong from Haiyang County, Shandong Province, settled in Zhengjiatun, started by pushing a cart, and became the leading wealthy family in Fengtian by operating the grain stack rice village 'Fengju Chang'. If it weren't for the wealth of this place, how could the Yu family have the status it has today? ”

Zhang Zuoxiang smiled slightly, he has always regarded Zhang Hanqing as a nephew, and of course he will be very concerned about his emotional changes. Zhang Xueliang has always been resistant to this family business, this matter is known to everyone in Fengtian, he feels obliged to enlighten, otherwise how can he not accompany his uncle who comes to the door with a smiling face?

Zhang Hanqing was pleased at this time: as long as it doesn't live up to its name. It doesn't matter whether the Yu family has money or not, the important thing is that the description of Yu Fengzhi as a beauty in the history books and biography must be correct, otherwise how can I be in the mood to face the yellow-faced lady of the main house every day? Once the mood is better, I suddenly feel that the surrounding scenery is pleasant, and even the people are cordial.

About fifty miles to the northwest, the population became more and more dense. Along a large bluestone paved road, you will gradually drive into a bustling street, and as soon as you step in, you will see rows of houses and neighborhoods in all directions. It's noon, and it's even more prosperous. The team of dozens of people was not in the crowd, and there was no wave, and it was really a place of treasure.

Zhang Zuoxiang said that since ancient times, Zhengjiatun has been famous throughout the country as "the key point of the Liaohe River waterway", "the place where soldiers must fight" and "an important town in Northeast China". It is said that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the area around Zhengjiatun was still a grassland full of flat sand and weeds. There is a Bobo Tu Mountain 5 kilometers away from the urban area of Shuangliao City, Jilin Province, which was called Jinshan in ancient times, and the famous Jinshan Battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty took place here.

Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang captured the city of Beijing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he quickly sent his general Feng Sheng to march to Kaiyuan in the northeast (now Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province), and then waved his army north, eliminating the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty entrenched in Jinshan in one fell swoop. So far, there are still relics of the ancient battlefield unearthed in the area of Botu Mountain, and it seems that you can still feel the sound of people shouting horses and neighing horses and golden drums in the battle of Jin Ge Iron Horse in the past. Zhang Hanqing walked on the noisy street, but he was imagining how heroic Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was and drove the aliens out of the country. Now that these unworthy descendants of ours are allowed to be the prestige of the Japanese here, when will they be able to restore their former dignity?

The group stayed for four or five days, and it was already very hard. According to Zhang Zuoxiang's original intention, the group went directly to Yu's home, which could not only find a place to settle down "for free", but also show the sincerity of courting, which was really a win-win move. But Zhang Hanqing has to understand Yu Fengzhi's situation first, his mind is to first understand the character and appearance (mainly appearance) of his wife from the side, in case there is a big gap between Yu Fengzhi and his heart, he will definitely resolutely, decisively, and recklessly go home, and will never care about the persuasion of his cheap father. Although marrying a virtuous wife, his cultivation is far from the extent that the Yellow Emperor marries his mother-in-law.

This is the true nature of a man!

Seeing that he insisted, Zhang Zuoxiang thought about it for a while, so he had to find a rather large hotel. Looking at the word "home" on the signboard actually made Zhang Hanqing feel at home, after all, in his previous life, every time he went on a business trip, didn't he choose these cost-effective hotels that were "favored" by Taiwan-funded enterprises?

The group, already exhausted, decided to move in.

Zhang Hanqing took a hot bath beautifully, and also swept away the dust and dust all over his body. When I was comfortable, I couldn't help but think that one day in the future, when the finances are rich, I must build a railway to go straight here, otherwise every time I go back to my parents' house, Yu Fengzhi is not very inconvenient?
