The next day, it wasn't until noon that Zhen Yan walked out of the house and shouted at the door: "Someone, someone!" ”

At this time, Zhang Zai also finished handling government affairs, prepared a meal, and ordered someone to send it to the front hall, but he heard a faint sound from the guest room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Zhang Zai walked to the door of the guest room, he saw Zhen Yan leaning against the door, his eyes slightly open, and he kept shouting something in his mouth, because his voice was sometimes high and low, he couldn't hear clearly.

Zhang Zai went over to say hello, but Zhen Yan looked confused, completely in a state of hangover and unawakened, smiled stunned, and ordered his subordinates to take him to the side hall, and then get some hot water to freshen up for Zhen Yan.

After being soaked in warm water, Zhen Yan's mind was much more sober, remembering his embarrassment just now, and whispered embarrassedly: "It's a shame this time." After reorganizing the image, Zhen Yan walked quickly to the lobby.

Zhang Zai saw Zhen Yan walking in and was fully awake, so he beckoned him to come over for dinner: "Brother Zhen, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Zai saw him sit down, and before he could speak, he apologized and said: "There are not so many people in the house, I neglected Brother Zhen, please forgive me." ”

Zhen Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let the adults laugh." ”

The two were eating and chatting, all over the world, and the more they chatted about everything, the more Zhen Yan admired Zhang Zai's insight, especially his attitude towards businessmen, which was different from most officials.

For example, he proposed that merchants are like human blood, and it is precisely because of the appearance of merchants that goods can circulate in various places.

There was even a proposal to codify a commercial code to improve the status of merchants.

And Zhang Zai seems to be better at business than him, and has put forward many business concepts and methods, such as what promotion, what franchise and so on.

Suddenly, Zhang Zai said solemnly to Zhen Yan: "Brother Zhen, you and I are of the same age, why don't you become brothers with different surnames?" ”

Zhen Yan was shocked by Zhang Zai's sudden words, in his heart, although Zhang Zai had various ideas about doing business and hoped to improve the status of businessmen, he still couldn't believe his ears.

Zhang Zai pretended to be displeased and said, "What, Brother Zhen looks down on a certain person and doesn't want to worship?" ”

Zhen Yan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no...... The adults misunderstood, and they didn't react at the next moment, but were the adults' decisions serious? ”

"Do you think so-and-so is entertaining you, of course so-and-so is serious." Jang Zai said angrily.

Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Adults are very loving, but I just want to be a businessman...... I just wanted to refuse, but when I saw Zhang Zai frowning, he seemed to be a little displeased, and then immediately changed his words: "Then I will climb high." ”

Zhang Zai laughed: "That's right, manly husband, what does mother-in-law and mother look like." ”

Zhang Zai called the guards and ordered them to go down to prepare long incense, pigs and sheep and other supplies for sacrifice.

The two reported each other's birth dates, Zhang Zai was one year older than Zhen Yan as his brother, and Zhen Yan was his younger brother.

After a while, the incense case was complete, and the two burned incense and worshipped: "Reading Zhang Zai, Zhen Yan and the two, although they have different surnames, they are now brothers, they should work together, report to the country, and the people will be peaceful, not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day, if this oath is violated, the catastrophe will not be recovered, heaven and earth are the evidence, and the sun and the moon are the mirror." ”

Then the two got up, and Zhen Yan bowed: "Little brother Zhen Yan, meet the eldest brother." ”

Zhang Zai looked at Zhen Yan and said the same: "I've seen the second brother." ”

Then they both got up at the same time, looked at each other and laughed.

At night, Zhang Zai told Xue Rengui and Xu Guangqi about his marriage with Zhen Yan, and under joy, several people were drunk again, and then they fell asleep directly at the desk.

……

On this day, Zhen Yan, who had been in Yanmen for a few days, suddenly said goodbye to Zhang Zai and said that he wanted to go back to Wuji's house.

Zhang Zai also knew that Zhen Yan had received several letters from his family in the past few days, probably to urge him to go home, and it was not good to keep him more.

Before leaving, Zhang Zai specially told him, saying: "All one day, if you are troubled in Jizhou, you can send a letter at any time, no matter how far away, you must bring troops to your brother." ”

After a few days of getting along, Zhen Yan also figured out Zhang Zai's temper, treated relatives and friends very sincerely, and worshipped him, not coveting the huge wealth of the Zhen family.

is about to separate, Zhen Yan is also very reluctant in his heart, but his ancestral business is in Jizhou, his relatives are also there, he has been away from Jizhou for half a month, and his family is also in a hurry, if he doesn't go back, there will be chaos at home.

Hearing Zhang Zai's words, Zhen Yan's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, the Zhen family is in Jizhou, and they still have the ability to protect themselves, but today is goodbye, I don't know when we will be able to meet. ”

Zhang Zai walked over and gave Zhen Yan a bear hug, then looked at him and said, "Second brother, the road is far away, and there are many unevenness on the road, I hope that the virtuous brother will be more careful." ”

It was not early, Zhen Yan and the others said goodbye, and then rode away.

Walking five miles away, Zhen Yan and the others suddenly felt the ground shake, and the dust behind them was flying.

When I looked closely, it was a team of cavalry, this team of cavalry was about a hundred people, led by a purple-haired general, not Zhang Liao or anyone.

Zhang Liao and the others rushed to Zhen Yan and said, "Mr. Zhen, there are many thieves along the way from Yanmen to Zhongshan. ”

Zhen Yan dismounted and bowed in the direction of the Yin Pavilion, then looked at Zhang Liao and the others, thanked him, but made a decision in his heart.

sent Zhen Yan and others to the junction of Yanmen and Jizhou, and it was inconvenient for Zhang Liao and others to continue to send them, so they said goodbye to Zhen Yan and others and returned to the Yin Pavilion.

After a few more days, Zhen Yan and his party finally returned to Wuji County.

In Zhen's mansion, seeing Zhen Yan coming back, Mrs. Zhen and the Zhen family sisters, who had been waiting for Zhen Yan in the front hall, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, the guards who followed Zhen Yan suddenly returned, saying that something had happened to the caravan, they were attacked by gangsters in Yanmen, they were scattered, a large number of guards were killed, and the lives of other people in the caravan were uncertain.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, smashing them into a panic, the only men in the family were left with him and Zhen Yao, God bless, not long after, they finally received a letter written by Zhen Yan, which said that he had been out of trouble and was going to Yanmen with the army, so that they should not worry, and they would be in a few days.

Their hanging hearts also settled down a little, but they didn't see the real person for a day, and they couldn't completely relax their hearts, so in the past half a month, they wrote five or six letters to their families in a row, urging him to come back.

Seeing her relatives, Zhen Yan also felt like a world away, and then under their inquiry, she told her about her experience in Yanmen.

When several people heard about his experience in Yanmen, they also admired Taishou's ability to govern a border place in an orderly manner, especially when this Taishou was of the same age as Zhen Yan, it was even more rare.

When I heard the news that Zhen Yan and Yanmen Taishou were worshipping, I was very surprised, especially Mrs. Zhen, she knew the faces of those officials, and she was smiling on the surface, but in fact, she wanted to empty your net worth.

Mrs. Zhen asked, "Wu'er, is this too shou coveting my Zhen family's property?" ”

Zhen Yan shook his head: "Absolutely not, he gets along with the child, the eldest brother has never mentioned anything about money, and after this period of getting along, the child is sure that Brother Zhang is not that kind of person." Then he told Mrs. Zhen what he saw Zhang Zai do in Yanmen.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen sighed with emotion: "Young and promising, the future is immeasurable." ”

Then, he looked at the daughters beside him, and then asked, "Does this have a family?" ”

Mentioning Zhang Zai's life experience, Zhen Yan thought for a while and said: "No, we stayed together every day during this time, and I also heard him talk about his family background, his father's ability and state assassination history, due to the invasion of the Huns, he was shot by a cold arrow, and died in Jinyang, and he is currently the only one left in the family." ”

Seeing her mother ask like this, Zhen Yan also heard the aftermath of her words, looking at the few beautiful sisters around her, Zhen Yan suddenly had the idea of marrying her sister to Zhang Zai.

Among the five daughters born by Mrs. Zhen, two daughters are already married, the third sister may be a family, the younger sister is only six years old, and only the fourth sister is still waiting for the boudoir.

However, this matter still depends on the meaning of the eldest brother, so it is better to take advantage of this transportation of iron ore to write a letter and ask, Zhen Yan thought in his heart.
