The next day, Master Liang was about to resign from the teacher, but it backfired and he couldn't leave.

Of course, it was not Zeng Guofan who suddenly broke his promise to detain Young Master Liang, but the two cadres of the Hunan military department: Peng Yulin and Guo Songtao came.

These two were heroes who followed Zeng Guofan very early to create the Hunan army and quell the Changmao Rebellion. Guo Songtao also lived in Guangdong a few years ago, and after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, he was excluded by the imperial court, and his boss Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang, made things difficult for him everywhere, forcing him to resign, and now he is idle at home; Peng Yulin was the opposite of him, because of his great military achievements, the Qing court entrusted him with important tasks several times, but he repeatedly took the initiative to resign, because he was upright and upright, jealous and hateful, and unwilling to deal with those things in the officialdom.

It is said that these two are keen on fame and fame, and the other has repeatedly resigned, and it seems that they are two passers-by who can't pee in a pot, but today they are coming together.

And among the people who suggested that Zeng Guofan rebel against the Qing Dynasty and stand on his own, there were these two people!

Therefore, they are not the kind of people who regard the Manchus as orthodox and are loyal to the Manchus.

Both of them were the best among the people, but they saw the decay of Manchu society and had different attitudes. Guo Songtao wants to seek an official position, take the initiative to transform this society, and realize the value of his life; Peng Yulin was already disappointed in this society, but he was powerless to change, so he simply couldn't see it, resigned and returned to his hometown.

In the words of Buddhism, one is to enter the WTO and the other is to be born.

Today, these two high-ranking idlers are probably bored at home, come and see their teacher Zeng Guofan, although they have also been in high positions, but no matter what, they are also students of Zeng Guofan, which they cannot deny.

Young Master Liang knows that these two people are celebrities who have left a strong mark in history, and today they have the opportunity to meet real people, so they should have a good chat with them.

Young Master Liang was thinking about going to the hall to meet the two of them, but he didn't want Zhao Liewen to come and meet him before him.

"Brother Huifu came over early in the morning, what's the urgency?"

"Ah, Brother Zhenxi, it's a good thing, it's definitely a great thing", Zhao Liewen congratulated him with a smile. Young Master Liang scratched his head, a little confused by the second monk.

Zhao Liewen continued to laugh: "And it's a happy event." Seeing that he still looked confused, this Master Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Hehehehe, hahahahahaha."

At this moment, the poor Young Master Liang couldn't understand it even more.

Zhao Liewen grabbed his arm, mysteriously approached him and whispered: "The teacher called me early in the morning to act as a matchmaker for my brother, and the teacher wants to marry Brother Jiegang's eldest daughter to you, do you think this is a happy event?" ”

"Huh?" Young Master Liang was stunned for a moment, even if he was a human being in two lives, he couldn't accept it, the number of wives was increasing too fast, right? My buddy is only fourteen years old, and a few days ago in Shanghai, because I saw that sexy foreign girl Mary, I induced the first impulse of a young man, and I really didn't rush this idea.

Zhao Liewen is a very smart person, looking at his expression, he understands that this kid is stunned, and immediately pats him on the shoulder and says with a smile: "Foolish brother understands your feelings, you already have a two-room marriage, but this is nothing, this time it is the teacher's granddaughter Xu who is married to you, presumably Xu Xuecun and the Pan family in Guangzhou will not have any objections; Besides, this time it was the teacher who surrendered his identity and took the initiative to kiss you, and this matter should be left in someone else's house, which can't be begged for, and you can't shirk it here, otherwise the teacher's face will be lost, and how will you get along with the teacher-student relationship in the future? ”

Young Master Liang was still in a daze, but he had gradually figured out what was going on; Zhao Liewen didn't know about the conversation between him and Zeng Guofan last night, so he didn't know why Zeng Guofan suddenly married his granddaughter to him, you must know that with Zeng Guofan's current status, there are many people who want to get close to the Zeng family, let alone Zeng Guofan's own granddaughter!

Zeng Guofan is expressing his stance with him!

After last night's conversation, Zeng Guofan already knew that he Liang Sihan wanted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and stand on his own, and Zeng Guofan knew even more that the current Qing Dynasty was a huge paper tiger with no combat effectiveness. The historical trend is mighty, the people's desire is unstoppable! There is no need for the Zeng family to accompany the Qing Dynasty to the funeral.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift! Today's Zeng family is a first-class family in the Qing Dynasty, if you want to maintain the family status after the change of dynasty, you have to make arrangements, this is the way of survival of the big family, just like the Liang family Pan family in Guangzhou to cultivate many children into the officialdom is the same reason.

Young Master Liang, who had thought about this, finally regained his color on his face, and the marriage between him and the Zeng family was a standard political marriage, and it was indeed unavoidable. He immediately thanked Zhao Liewen: "Sihan naturally can't ask for such a good thing, and I have to thank Brother Huifu for helping to worry about it."

"It's easy to say, in the future, my matchmaker's eighteen hooves will be indispensable", Zhao Liewen is also from southern Jiangsu, and the etiquette of this Xie Matchmaker is the same as that of Xu Shou's family.

"Brother Huifu, I have to ask you about this matter, you also know, I now have a three-room marriage, how will they be arranged in the future?"

"Oh, Brother Xian, you have learned from China and the West, but you don't know this?" Zhao Liewen laughed again: "Come on, come on, foolish brother will tell you, today's customs and laws stipulate that we men can have three wives and four concubines, and these three wives are one and two flat, that is, one main wife and two equal wives; The status of this flat wife is equal to that of the main wife, and when she marries, she enters the house from the main gate; And concubines can't enter the house through the main gate, oops, there are too many rules in this regard, you don't need to know too much, your family will definitely tell you when the time comes. Now I'll make it clear to you, teacher's granddaughter, this must be your wife, and I think the other two will understand that."

The situation is stronger than people, Young Master Liang can only agree, and then he asked: "Brother Huifu, what is the name of my fiancée?" “

Zhao Liewen finally knew, this kid didn't understand the etiquette of proposing marriage at all, this kind of question can't be asked according to today's etiquette, fortunately, he is not a pedantic person, and said to him with a smile: "Listen, your fiancée is called Zeng Guangxuan, and she is now studying in her hometown in Hunan."

I never thought that what Young Master Liang said to him next was even more deviant: "Brother Huifu, I hope you will tell the teacher, I hope my fiancée will not bind her feet."

"What?" Now it was Zhao Liewen's turn to be stunned, thinking to himself, where did you kid get so many requests? Then he patted his head depressedly: "Oh, I forgot that you kid is still a chick, and you still don't understand the beauty of women's foot binding."

"Senior brother, I just think that the woman's foot binding is really very painful, and it hurts her physically and mentally too much, I don't want to take care of other people's family affairs and hobbies, of course my own family has to care about it, you just have to tell the teacher."

"Okay, okay, I, the matchmaker, just convey it, and I don't know if the teacher's family agrees to do it."

"Okay, Sihan thanked Senior Brother first, Senior Brother, I heard that Peng Xueqin and Guo Yunxian are here, do you know why they came?"
