Chapter 57: The Governor Wants to Get Married (4)

Seeing Zhang Youxiang's face with a spring expression, Zhang Jian scolded in his heart: It's really a big woman!

Zhang Jian then said to Zhang Youwei, Zhang Youxian and Zhang Youcheng: "Because the other party's current official position is too high, there is a big disparity between the identity and status of our family, so your mother and I decided to let Yugong, Huilan, and Zhangzhu marry into the Zhao family with your sister and be Zhao Kang's concubine." In this way, the four of you will also take care of each other, and you will not be lonely after you get married, and that Zhao Kang is a first-class talent in our Ming Dynasty. I called you here today to ask if you are willing to marry your second sister together? ”

Seeing that the four daughters were blushing with shame, they lowered their heads and did not speak.

Zhang Jian first asked Zhang Youxiang: "Do you want your sisters to marry with you?" ”

Zhang Youxiang replied: "Our sisters have always been harmonious and like brothers, of course I don't want to be separated from them. ”

Zhang Jian looked at Zhang Youwei, Zhang Youxian and Zhang Youcheng again, and asked, "Do you agree?" ”

The third girl's face was almost red, and she quietly looked at Zhang Youxiang next to her, and then nodded in unison and said, "We are willing to accompany my sister." ”

Hearing that the three daughters agreed, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, if any daughter was unwilling to be a concubine, he really couldn't bear to persecute them.

As soon as Zhang Youxiang and the other four daughters came out of their parents' room, they chatted about each other.

Zhang Youcheng, who was only 12 years old, asked: "Second sister, what kind of person is our future husband?" Last time his family came to propose, have you seen Zhao Kang himself? Isn't it good-looking? ”

Zhang Youxiang said: "The people who came to propose affinity and give dowry gifts are all the housekeepers of his family, what is the name of Zhao Laocai, and his name is old-fashioned." Zhao Lang is an official in Shaanxi, and he has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to travel all the way to Fujian to see us in person. ”

Zhang Youwei said with some worry: "I heard that there is chaos in Shaanxi, there are anti-thieves, robbers, bandits everywhere, and the people are so poor that they can't even eat, and they can't afford to wear pants. ”

Zhang Youxiang comforted: "Third sister, you think too much, it's because you are poor that you need a talented person like Zhao Lang to govern." And according to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, a second-class official like Zhao Lang is not allowed to take office with his family. So we will probably have to stay in Zhao Lang's hometown of Suzhou in the future, which is not far from our hometown Songjiang, and our sisters can go back to the old house at any time to see and live for a few days when they are tired of staying in Suzhou, and they will not be lonely if they want to come. ”

Zhang Youxian said: "As the second sister said, if Zhao Lang can't be transferred back in Shaanxi, won't we and Zhao Lang not see each other for three or five years?" How sad that is! ”

Zhang Youxiang sighed and said, "I just hope that the thieves will be exterminated as soon as possible, and I want to come so that Zhao Lang can come back sooner." Our family can chant poetry together, their happiness is harmonious, their feelings are deep, the sound is golden and shi, and the red sleeves add fragrance to read at night. How nice that would be! ”

Zhang Youwei asked again: "That second sister, I don't know how Zhao Lang's talent compares to those Jiangnan talents?" ”

Zhang Youxiang said with some contempt: "How can they compare with Zhao Lang? Those so-called talents, most of them are not even able to lift people to be poor and sour talents, even those who have been lifted, usually boast that they are full of scriptures, passionate words, and pointing to the country, when it comes to the spring exam, eight or nine times out of ten are brushed down, our Zhao Lang is a serious Jinshi, what do they compare with Zhao Lang? ”

Zhang Youwei nodded and said, "It's also oh, it's just why our Zhao Lang has never had any works?" ”

Zhang Youxiang said: "Haven't you watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? I think Zhuge Liang is very right in it, those talented scholars sit and talk, and no one can match; Adapting to the situation, there is no one who can do it, and it is honest for the world to laugh! Confucianism has the difference between gentlemen and villains, and the Confucianism of gentlemen, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and the righteousness and evil, so that Ze and the time will be left in posterity. If the husband is a villain, he is only a carving worm, a full-time worker, a young man, and a poor man; Although there are a thousand words in the pen, there is really no plan in the chest. And our Zhao Lang must belong to the kind of gentleman's Confucianism, shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the court, managing the affairs of the family and the country, and is busy dealing with government affairs, counsellors and military planes on weekdays, saving the people of Li from the dire situation, how can he have the time and leisure to do those romantic things. ”

The three younger sisters all agreed very much with Zhang Youxiang's words.

I have to say that the dreams of young girls are always full of sweetness and joy, they don't know that at this time their future husband is in the bedroom of the Yulin Governor's Yamen, naked upper body, wearing a big trouser fork, while enjoying the "little white rabbit" massage of the two sisters Chunmei and Dongmei, while practicing writing calligraphy.

A piece of fine rice paper was spread on the table, Zhao Kang half-squatted on the horse, made a dantian shape, dipped the best wolf hao in his hand and dipped the excellent pine smoke ink that had been grinded, and the self-created "chicken claw body" calligraphy jumped on the paper like a cloud, and a famous five-word quatrain was written from Zhao Kang's pen:

Goose goose goose, song to the sky. The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium plucks the clear waves.

After writing, he immediately drew a picture of the chicken pecking rice that he learned from the modern social movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" on the paper, and wrote "Zhao Kangzuo, the governor of Yansui in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen", and then stamped his own governor's seal on it, and in less than ten minutes, a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages came out.

Seeing the results of his hard work these days, Zhao Kang said to himself: "Good painting!" Good word! Good work! Governor Zhao, I really am a double masterpiece of calligraphy and painting! ”

Looking at the elated Zhao Kang, the two sisters Chunmei and Dongmei behind them were whispering:

"What is that young master drawing? How I feel weird. ”

"I don't know, alas, it should be a new style of painting, I guess the young master wants to be unique in painting, start a sect, as for the one painted on paper now, I think it should be a phoenix, right?"

"But how do I look like a chick pecking rice?"

"I guess the phoenix was like that when it wasn't even grown."

"But that poem seems to be King Luo Bin's singing goose, why did the young master draw the little phoenix but match that poem in the painting?"

"I don't know about this, although I also think that if the young master really paints a phoenix, it would be better to match it with the Tang Dynasty poet Teng Qian's 'Seeing Yuyi on the edge of the Jinjing Railing, and sleeping on the cold branches on the plane tree', but the young master is a genius, maybe the goose and the phoenix are more compatible."
