Chapter 237: Marriage and Connection

Because the two women in the family are pregnant, Wang Lanling also began to work for the new house.

At noon the next day, Wang Lanling, who was handling things in the camp, was called home by Jin Ji.

Lao Zhao went to Yunzhou Mansion to run errands, and it was the Yang family and Zhao Wenrou and his wife.

Unmarried pregnancy is not a good thing, the Yang family is very concerned about this matter, and after Zhao Wenrou asked people to pass the word, he quickly brought his son and daughter-in-law and a few side children of the Zhao family over.

The two polite sentences on both sides went straight to the point.

"Your house is too small, and there are too few people to call."

Yang's opening was this kind of problem, and she felt that her daughter was really wronged here.

Wang Lanling has been confident in this kind of thing from beginning to end, after all, Zhao Wenrou's situation is there, and it has always been Zhao Wenrou who is most anxious to get married.

"The family is poor." Wang Lanling said embarrassedly.

It's not pretending to be forced, it's really so, compared with the Zhao family, Wangjiabao is 100% considered a poor family, and even a cold family is a bit overlooked, and more people are rich people in the countryside.

Yang sighed and said, "Originally, it was arranged for you to be in the county, but if you have to be in this county, I can't talk about you, and you won't listen to what you say." ”

Wang Lanling said helplessly: "It's hard to say, and I never thought it would come to this point." ”

Yang didn't want to talk too much about Wang Lanling in front of his daughter, and after complaining for a few sentences, he continued: "I still have to go to the county on the day of the wedding, we have already cleaned the wedding room for you, and we will clean up in the next few days and find you some mothers-in-law who can work." ”

Wang Lanling said: "I have built a new house in the county, and I will move there when the time comes, and if the servants are servants, I will also recruit a few people." ”

"How many people are enough?" Yang felt that Wang Lanling was too childish, "It just so happens that many places in the county are flooded this time, and many families have begun to sell their sons and daughters, so I have people sign more than 20 deeds of sale, and I will send them to you after a few days of training." ”

Slavery is not popular here, but it has been a tradition since ancient times for ordinary people to go to a large family to sign a deed of sale and agree on how many years to work.

The children of slaves are still slaves, but the children of domestic servants are not necessarily domestic servants.

So even though there is not much difference, there really is no slavery here in the Empire.

After all, even if she is a prostitute in a brothel, as long as she saves enough money, she can redeem herself by herself.

Wang Lanling nodded, as good as a stream.

There is no point in opposing it, don't think of yourself as a saint, there is nothing.

If you really think of yourself as a saint, you won't be able to live.

The things of the servants are all small things, and the Yang family only thinks that he is kind enough to give those people a way to live, where would he think that this kind of thing can be sentimental, if this is the case, how hypocritical it is......

"There are two main things to come here this time, one is to come to see Rou'er, and by the way, the marriage has been decided, and the other is to introduce you to the people in our family, who doesn't know who is."

Marriage is the integration of the resources of both parties to the marriage, including political resources, connections, money, prestige, and so on.

Whether it is in ancient times or modern times, this is a matter that should be taken seriously, but modern people do not pay as much attention to this point as ancient people.

One of the reasons why ancient times attached importance to marriage was because this marriage was not a matter of two people, but also a link between two families.

Modern people have few relatives, and marriage is their own business, and now Wang Lanling and Zhao Wenrou's marriage represents the affairs of dozens of people in the Zhao family.

Wang Lanling has only one person who needs to know Wang Lanling, and the Zhao family is up and down, and there are many friends and old friends who need to be known, these people are all over several counties, and most of them are meritorious nobles, so they can easily form a force.

Even if Wang Lanling does not have any official position now and is idle at home, someone will give Wang Lanling a chance to make a comeback.

Because of Zhao Wenrou's identity, Wang Lanling can get in touch with more talents, which is equivalent to getting a ticket to board a big ship.

"This is Zhao Liangyan, Jian'er Erniang's child, he has nothing to do at home, just let him help do something under you, although they are all older than you here, you don't have to be polite, it's a good thing for them to have more experience, if you can't move, just tell me, I'll help you talk about them."

The Yang family sat there, and naturally introduced the children of Lao Zhao's other concubines to Wang Lanling.

She is not the oldest woman, and the children she gave birth to are not the eldest son, but she is a wife, and she and her children are just different in status.

"Brother Zhao." Wang Lanling stood up and said hello to Zhao Liangyan.

Zhao Liangyan quickly returned the salute and said: "The petty official is polite, I have been hearing about you all the time, and it is also good to be able to increase my knowledge under the petty official." ”

Yang continued to introduce: "The back are Zhao Gongru and Zhao Gongqian, Gongru is a girl, and she will also do martial arts, stay in your yard to take care of one or two, Gongqian martial arts is not good, but your brain is okay, you stay by your side and take care of one or two, if you can, just forget it." ”

"Petty officials." Zhao Gongru and Zhao Gongqian's sister and brother politely greeted Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling nodded and said: "That's it, although the current imperial court prohibits officials from appointing officials, but it really doesn't matter if they spend money to hire people, I lack a supervisor under me to help me clean up Xiaoxiao." Brother Zhao is from the county, which is different from the dialect of Heishui County, and he is from the Zhao family, which is suitable for this matter. ”

Although Heishui County is a small county, Wang Lanling is not an ordinary person, Zhao Gongqian is also willing to do something under Wang Lanling first, and after Wang Lanling goes to the state to be promoted, he can use his merits to get some light.

Yang continued: "The next one is Zhao Jianran, Zhao Jianxiang, the two of them usually help in the shop in the county, and they will go back and forth between Heishui County and the county in the future, I see that you also have the intention of doing business, so I called the two of them here, you know each other." ”

"The last three are Zhao Rangyi, Zhao Rang 2, and Zhao Rang4, the three of them are on errands in the county, respectively in the three places of business management, military office, and newspaper office, and this time I came here mainly to let you get to know each other by the way."

Gentle and frugal, this is the way the Zhao family is named, but Lao Zhao is not only five women, only Zhao Wenjian and Zhao Wenrou at the beginning of Wen, because the Yang family only has this son and a daughter, if she continues to give birth, it is still a Wen character.

Wang Lanling and these people know each other one by one, because of Zhao Wenrou's identity, as well as Wang Lanling's fame, coupled with the majesty of the Yang family, the two sides give face to each other, and there is no such thing as putting on a face and looking down on people.

Although Wang Lanling's subordinates were not short of people, in order to gain the support of the Zhao family, they still accepted them.

Taking Zhao Wenrou did not get the support of the Zhao family, for example, this time Wang Lanling and the county governor did it against each other, and the Zhao family did not say a word.

Only when the Zhao family is on the boat and Wang Lanling makes a move, will these people follow up.

Exactly who got on whose ship still depends on their future development.

Wang Lanling divided the local big family because these people gathered a lot of slaves who signed a deed of sale and occupied the land and population resources that Wang Lanling needed, and the affairs of Yunshui County had nothing to do with Wang Lanling.

The longer Yunshui County is conservative, the more severe the loss will be on the day it is hit by the industrial revolution in Heishui County.
