After Zhou's chatter, he finally picked out the theme:

"Fan'er, you see that you are not too young, should you set a family business first?"

In ancient times, people generally married earlier, generally 16 men and 14 women, and the poor families may be earlier. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info In this era, men who are not married at the age of eighteen, or even those who have not decided to marry, will be ridiculed.

"Ahh The trainer screamed in surprise and quickly put his finger in his mouth to suck Yun, it turned out that his finger had been pricked by an embroidery needle.

Zhang Fan asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

The step trainer shook his head, turned his head to look at Zhou's meaningful gaze, his face turned red, and he was about to get up and run away in panic, but he was grabbed by Zhou's hand and couldn't stand up, so he had to bury his head quickly.

Zhang Fan sneered: "Mother...... I'm ......."

Before she finished speaking, she was unceremoniously interrupted by Zhou, and she said with a cold face:

"Alright. Don't talk nonsense! I heard that you are about to fight again, and there are no eyes on the battlefield, and the good luck is unpredictable. Naturally, I pray that you will be safe and prosperous, but no one can guarantee this kind of thing. You must give me a letter today, when will you get married? Otherwise, I'll start a hunger strike today until you say yes or starve to death. ”

"Ahh Madame ...... "The foot trainer and Mo'er were startled.

Zhang Fan hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, it's all children who are not filial, you don't have to be like this!" ”

Zhou said solemnly: "There is no need to say more. You know, I've always said the same. Anyway, if you don't agree for a day, my mother, I will die of hunger strike. ”

Zhang Fan knew that Zhou was a strong and stubborn person, otherwise he would not persevere, and he would not have been pulled up by one person, and he would be able to read and write.

Alas! Has it finally come this far? Zhang Fan had no choice but to compromise and say:

"In that case, why don't you get married as soon as the battle between me and Zulang is over, what does my mother think?"

Zhou still kept a straight face and shook his head, "No." Don't think I'm old and confused, although I don't have much knowledge, I've heard of Danyang Zulang. It is said that there are tens of thousands of people under his command, and he is the commander of the largest mountain in Jiangdong. How can it be easily won in a moment or three? What if this battle lasts for three or five years...... Seven or eight years, so what to do? ”

Zhang Fan said helplessly: "Then I don't know what my mother means......?" ”

Zhou said categorically: "It must be decided before you set out on the expedition." ”

Zhang Fan smiled bitterly: "Mother, aren't you joking? Eight days later I swore to go on the expedition. This Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and greeting the six rites at least a month at the earliest, even if it is just a marriage, it is not a moment and a half to get it done...... You're not going to keep it simple, are you? ”

Zhou rebuked: "Nonsense! My Zhang family has always been a prominent family in Jiangdong, with a prominent family and a long-standing reputation. What's more, now that you are in a high position and attracting people's attention, how can you not follow etiquette and make people laugh and insult the family? ”

Zhang Fan said tentatively: "I don't know what my mother means......"

Zhou spit out two words categorically: "Concubine." ”

"Concubine?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. For a modern person, this is a strange and desirable word.

Marrying a wife is very particular, you need to be the right person, divination, Ming media is marrying, dowry, dowry, worship heaven and earth...... and a series of fixed processes. Accepting a concubine is much simpler, only a small sedan chair needs to enter the man's house through the side door, no relatives, very few dowries, no dowry, at most the man invites relatives and friends in the clan to have a simple meal.

"Yes. It's a concubine. Anyway, it is common for large families to take concubines first and then marry relatives. Zhou looked at the step trainer and said:

"I've already discussed this matter with my teacher, as long as you nod your head, this matter will be done."

Zhang Fan immediately objected: "I don't agree, I still plan to carry a sedan chair eight times, Ming Media is marrying her, how can I make her a concubine?" ”

The Zhou family himself was born as a concubine, so when he heard this, could he stand it? Standing up and about to have a seizure, the step trainer hurriedly pulled her sleeve and begged:

"Ma'am, may I speak to him alone?"

Zhou was silent and took Mo'er and Xue Wei out, leaving only Zhang Fan and the foot trainer.

The room was terrifyingly quiet, Zhang Fan's heart was in turmoil, and the step trainer was so ashamed that no one spoke.

As time passed minute by minute, Zhang Fan finally couldn't help but pick his head first:

"Master, did my mother force you to promise her something?"

"Nope." The trainer shook her head firmly, her cheeks burned with a bright flush, her eyebrows appeared lighter, her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes moved slightly, "The old lady just mentioned it to me out of kindness." I volunteered to do so. ”

"Why are you wronged so much? You know, from the first time I saw you, I decided I wanted to marry you......"

"I know. But as long as I can be with you and have a place for me in your heart, I am already very satisfied...... It's the same whether it's a wife or a concubine. A hint of sweetness flashed in the foot trainer's eyes, and he recalled:

"I was kidnapped by the bandits that day, and I was already desperate, and the idea of avenging my brother supported me from committing suicide. I didn't expect to meet you, I really think I'm so lucky. Not only did you save my life, but you also avenged my brother. From that moment on, I knew that I would never be able to expel you from my heart again for the rest of my life......"

asked in her faint sideburns, in her watery eyes...... The sweetness and love almost overflowed.

Zhang Fan held her in his arms emotionally, looking at her clear and bright pupils gently, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.

"Say yes! Good no good? The blush on the foot trainer's face deepened, "Not to mention your current identity, you are destined not to marry a woman of unknown origin." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you want to marry Ming Media, the first step is 'Nacai', and my father will definitely not be able to pass that level. Besides, if the real Ming media is marrying and puts me in a high place, it will inevitably attract people's attention, and then my experience of being kidnapped by bandits will eventually be exposed, and everyone will be gold, which will be a harm to us. ”

Zhang Fan said coldly: "I don't care, whoever dares to talk too much, I will kill his whole family." ”

The foot trainer quickly covered his mouth and said, "No." It is futile to defend the mouth of the people more than to defend the river. And if you do, I'm upset. But if I'm just a concubine, no one cares about who I am or what I past, and even if they do, they will just laugh it off. ”

The words of the foot trainer are reasonable, because the status of wives and concubines in ancient times is very different, and the family background of the main wife must be in line with the identity and status of the man, and the concubine does not matter. Generally speaking, most of the concubines are born in lowly and lowly families, and even prostitutes are not a few, and no one cares about their identity and background.

Zhang Fan still refused to agree, but the step trainer was resolute, repeatedly emphasizing that he was indeed willing, and he felt aggrieved at all, and persuaded him for a long time, Zhang Fan could only sigh and compromise, but secretly swore in his heart:

In the future, I will definitely double down on her better, don't forget my original intention......
