Chapter 178: A Man's Dream

"Father, I heard that a joint letter from Yanzhou was stamped with both Mrs. Jing and Lord Luo, and this plan to spread proverbs seems to have succeeded, but is it too despicable to do so." Zhen Yuehua couldn't help but be overjoyed when she learned that her father's plan was successful, but then she felt a little guilty.

Zhen Wu patted his daughter on the shoulder, "How is this despicable, if you can't get the support of the rest of the families, this Lu Zhan's rule in Hebei will definitely not last long." On the one hand, doing this for your father is for you, and on the other hand, for Lu Zhan's consideration, how can Hebei's foundation be unstable to win the world. ”

This marriage is often the most effective means, through the marriage of the Zhen family to show goodwill to the family in Hebei.

"According to my father's opinion, this Lu Zhan will soon have people come to the door to propose, although it is wartime, but Lu Zhan is continuing to have food, grass and money, only after the two of you get married, we will immediately donate generously to fund the Yanzhou Army."

"I understand my father." Although Zhen Yuehua was happy in her heart, she was a little disappointed, and the purpose of marrying in was to represent the face of the Hebei family.

Zhen Wu then said: "This Lu Zhan has no heirs yet, if you can give birth to a big fat boy, the location of this main room may be Yue'er yours, even if she is a heavenly family, the prestige of this son of heaven has already plummeted."

This primogeniture inheritance system is almost conventional, unless the eldest son is really not angry, otherwise it may be a concubine or other capable son-in-law to inherit the family business.

Zhen Wu believes that with the power of the Hebei family, as long as Zhen Yuehua gives birth to an heir first, Zhen Yuehua can be put in the position of the main room, since ancient times, whether it is the queen of the heavenly family or the main room of the princes, he will always be the most powerful person.

There is no background in this family, no matter how favored she is, she is just a concubine, even if the wife is not favored, but as long as the status of the mother's family is still there, the main room will definitely not be deposed.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Lu Zhan made the decision to go to the dowry. But whoever goes to the dowry must think about it carefully, this status naturally cannot be low, but there is no suitable candidate in this Yecheng, there are no elders in the family, and there is no person with a higher status than Lu Zhan in this army.

Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan can't be allowed to propose, but when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu married the niece of Liu Yang, the king of Zhengding, it seems that his subordinates went to propose.

As Lu Zhan's eyes looked at Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan, the two of them took two steps back in unison, "It's better to find a respected old man in Hebei to propose marriage, so that you can also sell them a favor." ”

"General Chen's words are wrong, how can the lord's family affairs at this time allow outsiders to go and propose marriage, in my opinion, it is better to go to General Chen. The chief general who commanded the first army went to propose his relatives, both in terms of face and legal theory. ”

"Lord Duan's words are bad, if you want to talk about the intimacy of the relationship, who can compare to Lord Duan, Lord Duan is relied on by the lord, and everyone recognizes that you are the right-hand man of the lord."

It seems that this is not a good errand, this Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan have been blowing each other in business, and they can't wait to let each other go to the dowry.

"Enough! The two big men are timid, I have experience in this dowry, let me go this time! A crisp voice broke the two men who were giving way to each other.

Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan followed the voice and looked over, "I've seen the second lady." ”

The two of them were frightened by the sudden appearance of Huo Lin, this woman went to propose marriage for the first time in the world, and let Huo Lin go to propose marriage, in case people feel that they are humiliating themselves, in the end, the in-laws are not formed, but may cause a misunderstanding.

It was still Duan Xiaohan who opened his mouth and said, "Second Madam, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette law for you to go."

After seeing Duan Xiaohan speak, Chen Zhuang also opened his mouth and echoed: "Yes, this woman went to the dowry, it was the eldest girl who got on the sedan chair - the first time, this marriage proposal will be discussed with Lord Duan again, second lady, do you think this will work?"

If this is to let the people of the world know that the concubine went to the dowry, wouldn't this be ridiculous and generous, and it will attract the criticism of the world. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at the people of Yanzhou for being unremarkable, this is a small matter of losing face, which makes the lord lose face, which is a big crime.

Since ancient times, the Lord has humiliated his ministers to death. Isn't this a loss of face and a loss of head?

Hearing the meaning of Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan's words, Huo Lin was immediately furious, but after thinking about it, there was indeed some truth, but this stubborn temper couldn't get down as soon as it came up, "These two adults have a point, but this push back and forth is not suitable for anyone, so we must come up with a charter today." ”

Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After all, Chen Zhuang is an old man of the Lu family, and his heart is crossed, "Then leave this matter to me Lao Chen, but this dowry purchase is also a big problem." Although Yecheng is a big town in Hebei Province, it is complete to buy things for marriage, but after all, this Zhen family represents the face of the Hebei family, and this rare treasure is probably not so common to find, if you can find a few treasures, it is naturally excellent. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"Although this process should be simple, this specific process must be seen by the lord."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Duan Xiaohan has never experienced marriage, the only time he has seen it is that Lu Zhan directly snatched Huo Lin home, after seeing Chen Zhuang so eloquent, he can only say that I am the same, but I am also a bit of a cultured person now, so I said the words seconded by the minister.

Chen Zhuang heard Duan Xiaohan say it twice in a row, and couldn't help but pout, "I said Master Duan, why do you only say that the ministers seconded the proposal, just like those sour rotten Confucians." ”

"General Chen has finished what should be said, so I have to say that the minister seconded it. However, the rare treasures in this mansion were all brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it seems that they can only be visited by the people. ”

Lu Zhan, who should have been on the cusp of the storm, has become a shopkeeper at this moment, and this Lu Zhan is worried about the war situation in the north. Although his cousin Lu Tingchen doesn't talk much, he can see that he, as a cousin, still cares about himself.

Such a good brother can't be folded in the hands of the Zhi family. The current money and food can still support the troops to march and fight for more than a month, but if you count the distance back and forth, the time of the battle is only less than ten days.

I hope that my cousin can hold out until he leads his troops north, but with the protection of the Shuofang guards, he can escape even if he can't beat it.

"When I was in high school, my Chinese teacher once joked that three wives and four concubines were every man's dream, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy."
