Zhang Qi thought that although his Zhang family is still flourishing, it is becoming more and more difficult to support it under the seemingly prosperous surface, and there is no successor, so he can only rely on marriage to maintain everything now.

The future of this Liu Jin in front of him is immeasurable, the key is that he was born poor, such a person has no foundation in himself, if his Zhang family can unite with the other party.

With the support of the Zhang family, Liu Jin will go more smoothly, and in turn he can also become the support of the Zhang family, and this investment will definitely not be lost.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi also asked tentatively: "How old is Liu Gongzi this year?" ”

"Eighteen years old~"

Liu Jin's eyes lit up slightly, and he replied with a smile.

The other party must have already found out his details, and now he even came to ask his age, which must be the next step to ask about his life's events.

"Eighteen years old, not too young, have you ever been married?"

Zhang Qi touched his mustache and asked with a smile.

"No, my mother has mentioned this, but I have always been focused on my studies, thinking that I will think about my life's events after the middle school."

Liu Jin's reply is naturally very mellow, in fact, the meaning in the words is very simple, I only think about the imperial examination now, and I don't want to marry a wife, so don't say kiss.

Zhang Qi also nodded slightly after hearing this, he naturally understood the meaning of Liu Jin's words, smiled and said: "This man should marry and the woman should marry, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that he will start a family first and then start a business. ”

"Liu Gongzi has lofty ambitions, but this family and business can't be delayed, I don't know if there is a favorite girl?"

Although he heard the meaning of Liu Jin's words, he still decided to invest in Liu Jin's potential stock as much as possible, anyway, their old Zhang family is very capable of giving birth, and there are many daughters to be married in this family, and marrying one to Liu Jin is also a small cost and may have a high return on investment.

"Not yet~"

Liu Jin shook his head and replied, this Zhang Qi is determined to introduce his wife to himself, since this is the case, let's take a look at the situation first, anyway, if you are beautiful, you will not suffer, and if you are not beautiful, you can also refuse.

"That's great~"

When Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately laughed happily and said: "Liu Gongzi, I look at you as a talent, and talented, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future, I have a few world friends, and there are also a few brothers in the clan, and there are just a few daughters to be married in the family, among which there are many knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, talented and beautiful, do you want me to help you introduce it?" ”

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he naturally got up quickly to express his gratitude, and then said with a slight sigh: "This year is going to be autumn, and I am now also preparing to only read the sage books, and ignore the things outside the window. ”

"Sir, you also know that whether it is the path of this imperial examination, or whether you can serve Tianzi in the future, the sooner and younger, the better."

"So at this time, I have no intention of starting a family, and after the autumn, whether or not I am in the middle of the lift, I will definitely start a family, and even if Mr. doesn't say it, I will be cheeky to ask Mr."

There is no way but to continue to drag on, when it comes to the matter of the imperial examination, it is definitely the biggest thing, and everything else has to make way for this.

"Also, what I said is very reasonable, if I could have understood this truth earlier, I wouldn't have failed the exam."

"Since this is the case, I will also force it, I hope that Liu Gongzi will go to high school by then, and next year will be on the gold list, if you can get the top prize, then our entire Changli County will be honored."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Qi thought about it and nodded with feelings.

He got married early back then, this young man got married early, it may not be a good thing, sometimes greed for joy is easy to waste his studies, so he has repeatedly failed, and even worse when he is older, and in the end he is just a fame for a showman.

"Mr. has passed the award, and if he can be admitted to the exam, he will burn high incense, and he really doesn't dare to think about the title of the gold list and the flower arrangement."

Liu Jin smiled and said modestly.

Next, the two continued to chat with each other, chatting and chatting, and when they chatted, they also talked about celebrities in Changli County and Yongping Mansion.

"After all, our northern region is still not as good as the southern region, this imperial examination can't be compared to the southern region, and the people who are officials in the court are far inferior to the southern region."

"Among the people who went out of our Changli County, there is only one Zhizhou from Wupin, this person is called Tang Zhengliang, maybe Liu Gongzi will have the opportunity to be an official in the same dynasty as him in the future."

Zhang Qi is very familiar with the situation in Changli County and even the entire Yongping Mansion, and he knows everything about those capable people in this place.

"Tang Zhengliang?"

When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, this person is also surnamed Tang, should it have anything to do with Tang Laohu, thinking of this, Liu Jin also tried to ask: "Zhizhou from Wupin is also very remarkable, presumably the Tang family of Tang Zhizhou is also a scholarly heirloom, so he can cultivate such a big man." ”

"This Liu Gongzi may not know something, this Tang Zhizhou is actually poor, and it is also by relying on the road of the imperial examination step by step to get to where it is today, this Tang Zhizhou's Tang family is now also the most popular family in our Changli County, and Tang Laohu, who has a holiday with you, is actually the younger brother of this Tang Zhizhou."

Zhang Qi smiled and shook his head, and then also told the relationship between Tang Laohu and Tang Zhengliang.

Behind the Tang family, there is Tang Zhengliang, who is from Wupin, as a backer, and now is the time when the limelight is in full swing, and the Zhang family, as a veteran family in Changli County, is naturally also affected by the Tang family.

The Tang family had a fierce competition with the Zhang family in many aspects such as fields, shops, and salt business, and the Zhang family was weakened day by day and could only rely on marriage to support, so they were also at a disadvantage, and they were pressed a little miserably by the Tang family, and lost a lot of benefits.

Naturally, Zhang Qi silently wrote down these in his heart, the Zhang family can't screw the Tang family now, but this does not mean that he Zhang Qi is the target of bullying.

Now that Liu Jin just mentioned this matter, he naturally said by the way, although this Liu Jin is young, it can also be regarded as a potential stock, if he makes a difference in the future, maybe in a few decades, when Liu Jin soars to the top, there will be this good fruit of the Tang family to eat.

"I see~ Thank you, sir, for your advice."

As soon as Liu Jin heard this, it immediately became clear that this Tang family was actually a leech who was not full later, so the blood sucking was even more powerful, relying on the backers behind him, and wantonly taking advantage of the benefits.

Obviously, the Tang family not only encroached on the interests of countless low-level people, but also harmed the interests of old big families such as the Zhang family.

Liu Jin also estimated that the contradiction between the Zhang family and the Tang family must be very deep, after all, no matter how big the cake is, the Tang family will eat one more bite, and the Zhang family will have to eat one less.
