Chapter 428: Yang Zhi goes on a blind date
PS: Thank you for the 100 yuan reward from the book friends in the pond, dear, ask for tickets and recommendations!
gave Yang Zhi a handwritten letter of recommendation, and the old man sent Yang Zhi away.
Revive the century-old Yang Mansion, its difficulties can be compared to the sky, and giving a letter of recommendation is just a good fate. In the future, even if Yang Zhi can't soar, he will be Lin Chong's sworn brother, giving him face is to show favor to Lin Chong, Lin Chong is not stupid, can he be white-collar in this love?
What's more, the Wild Wolf Army and the party partnered to plunder Qingtang, which was specially for Yang Zhi to earn meritorious service, and it may not take many years to be able to make a marquis and pay homage.
Looking further afield, Lin Chong's wolf army is now in the northwest of this acre of land, and it has a decisive weight. Not to mention mutual subordination, but to coordinate disputes, and to exchange trade routes can make you a lot of profits.
For example, the imperial court succeeded in cutting expenses this time, on the one hand, because the western army consumed too much in this battle, and the Privy Council blocked the expansion of the junior generals. But on the other hand, the Wild Wolf Army undertook most of the attacks of the party, and the large reduction of the standing army and the western army was the fundamental reason.
With the financial abundance, the new Liangshan army can be recruited smoothly, and the standing forbidden army that was originally planned to be 100,000 now only needs 50,000, and it is definitely higher than the original combat effectiveness.
The imperial court is not a fool, this transaction is extremely cost-effective, even if it adds two percent more horses and equipment, it is much more economical than the original.
Lin Chong's bottom line is also very accurate, as long as he doesn't provoke this big tiger, the northwest will not suffer from military disasters for at least a short period of time.
As for the saying under the court, this kid has always been arrogant, and it is very likely that he has the ambition to stand on his own.
The old kind judged that Lin Chong should not be so radical in ten years, after all, it is not a day's work to balance the intricate forces of all parties. It is not impossible for a general without a foundation to dominate the world with an army of tens of thousands of people, but if he wants to sit in the world in peace and stability, he must consider political skills.
At least the old breed hasn't seen it yet, Lin Chong is consciously stockpiling talents in order to compete for the world, because they have been dealing with the survival of the wild wolf army in the northwest.
Yang Zhi went all the way south to Xijing Zhangfu.
Yang Zhi and Lin Chong are brothers, so they naturally greeted Zhang Shangying as juniors.
The sun was shining in the garden, Zhang Shangying was practicing swordsmanship, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shangying stopped to rest. Yang Zhi, who was empty, presented Lin Chong's letter of greetings and waited on the side.
In the letter, Lin Chong explained the recent situation, especially pointed out the punishment for the party items and the conditions for accepting the party's peace terms, and also talked about the upcoming battle of Qingtang, asking the old lady what to do next. Finally, I didn't forget to add Zhang Wan's greetings and postscripts.
Seeing this, Zhang Shangying's heart was greatly settled, Lin Chong's respect for himself was not hypocritical, and his love for Zhang Wan was also obvious.
The only regret is that Zhang Wan is not a big house, but the opportunity is like this, and there is no way to do it. Fortunately, her granddaughter is the wife, and her status has saved the face of the Zhang family. If you want to further consolidate your pet, you can only rely on her to give birth to a boy, and it would be better if she could take the lead.
Not long after, a maidservant girl came to ask for instructions, saying that the old lady also wanted to meet the descendants of Tianbo Yang Mansion. Zhang Shangying immediately understood that his wife was intending to marry.
Think about it again, Yang Zhi is about to pacify Qingtang, and he will have to pay homage to the marquis in the future. Now it happens to be a strange commodity to live in, and if the marriage is confirmed, the Zhang family and the Xiang family will do their best to help him revitalize Tianbo Yang Mansion.
This is a charcoal in the snow, much better than the icing on the cake in the future. What's more, Yang Zhi's family mission is on his shoulders, and it will be much less difficult to get the support of the two major families at once.
Therefore, Zhang Shangying admired his old wife Xiang's vision and grasp of the timing, and naturally readily agreed.
The wealthy Xiang also came to the pavilion, and in the face of the grandmother-level old lady, Yang Zhi hurriedly bowed to her.
"Get up!" Xiang looked Yang Zhi up and down, and finally smiled, "When I was young, I also heard that Tianbo Yang's Mansion was famous, but at that time, people were soft-spoken and difficult to make friends. A few days ago, I thought that I couldn't get rid of this regret, but I didn't expect the descendants of the Yang family to visit today, master, do you say this is an opportunity in the dark? ”
Yang Zhi was stunned, on the surface, these words were not respectful to Yang Men. But when the old lady said it, how can it be like an elder teaching a younger generation.
However, since they are Lin Chong's sworn brothers, they will be more or less concerned about their faces, and they will not embarrass themselves too much.
Zhang Shangying saw everything in his eyes, and understood that Xiang's was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he could beat and beat first, so that he could raise his value. However, Yang Zhi has been unambitious for many years, and his reputation is tired, so it is inevitable that he is not open-minded enough. You have to pull it back by yourself, otherwise, if you don't become a family, you will become an enemy, and it will be a big joke.
"What Mrs. said is, but Yang Zhi's ambitions are ambitious, and with the support of Chong'er, the future is limitless! At present, Yang Zhi will first go back to Tokyo to gather popularity, and then go to the border to fight a few battles, accumulate meritorious achievements, and in a few years, he will be able to pay homage to the general. ”
Xiang Shi nodded and thought in his heart, Xiang Susu, the granddaughter of the second brother Xiang Qing's family, is fifteen years old, and has never promised to be married.
Just when Yang Zhi was horrified by Xiang's look, Xiang asked about his family background, birthday, marriage and other situations one after another.
At that time, these topics were very sensitive, and most of them were asking, the Zhang family has taken a fancy to you, and you want to marry, do you have any intentions or something.
Yang Zhi was confused, how could it become a blind date conference when he came to visit once? But he is not stupid, he thought about the ins and outs of the cause and effect in his heart, and felt that he could marry the Zhang family, at least he would be close to Lin Chong. So he told him about his situation.
Xiang likes it very much, the only descendant of the Yang family, the official position is not low, although there is a concubine, but she has never been married, and she has no heirs, so there is no problem at all. Xiang Susu married in the past and was the wife of the family, and when Tianbo Yang Mansion was glorious again in the future, Xiang Susu was naturally highly respected.
After asking about the situation, Xiang said goodbye to the old lady. Zhang Shangying knew that this was to find a way to let Xiang Su come to see Yang Zhi's appearance in person. If there is no problem, then settle it first, after all, it is a century-old general, and it is also a border general, and maybe the daylily will be cold when you put it back in Tokyo.
Xiang Susu and several sisters of the Zhang family were playing on the streets, and they were urgently recalled to Zhang's house, and they were inexplicable. Xiang didn't say much, and took her to the corner of the back garden, and let her watch through the flower window to the gazebo.
Xiang Susu saw that the pavilion was Old Lady Zhang, and there was a tough young man, dressed in leather armor and a sword, who looked quite heroic. Looking at it, Xiang Susu suddenly understood that this was Mrs. Gu who wanted to choose a son-in-law for her blind date, her face was hot, and she refused to look at it again.
"Good grandson, people have seen it, do you like it?"
