Chapter 236: Marrying a Daughter and Suing for Peace

Chen Zhaotang said in his heart, why did you bother in the first place, didn't you take advantage of the fight with Wang Yongan in the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info So many people secretly helped you during the day, taking a big advantage, how could you think that you would burn others to death at night, no wonder Wang Yongan didn't forgive you. The two had a dispute and fought, and if one side won it, he was unforgiving, but now he was afraid, how could he help him.

"Alas......" Chen Zhaotang sighed and said, "You also know that the second king of Yangzhou, Wang Yongan is Wang Yongtai's younger brother and the only seedling of the Wang family. Wang Yongtai can't give birth to a child, if Wang Yongan dies, the Wang family will be extinct......" He suddenly thought of a way to pat his forehead and said: "I have an idea, but I need you to give it up, you might as well give it a try." ā€

"What's the solution?" Zhang Xun hurriedly asked, "As long as I don't kowtow and admit my mistakes, I can try any way, and there is nothing I can't reluctant." ā€

Chen Zhaotang nodded, and then said: "That Wang Yongan married Yuan Nianzhen, the daughter of Yuan Shikai and Yuan Junmen, but I heard that Miss Na Nianzhen had tuberculosis in her early years, and she wanted to die soon." It's better for you to marry a daughter, first, to give the Wang family a rush, second, to take advantage of this in-law relationship between the two families to stop, and third, you turn enemies into friends, but you have fulfilled a good thing and become a good thing for Qin and Jin. It must be known that the two Wang brothers are not guaranteed to fly on the branches and become phoenixes one day, and you use your daughter to win him over, this deal is very cost-effective. ā€

Zhang Xun's face was blue and white for a while, he was very embarrassed, he had just finished fighting with others, and then he was going to marry his daughter, which was really a bit cheeky. Zhang Xun, like many officials in this era, had many wives and concubines and many children, he married one wife and ten concubines, and his wife Cao Qin kept Zhang Xun poor for ten years, and was named Mrs. Yipin by the Empress Dowager Longyu. The Cao family is older than Zhang Xun, so Zhang Xun has great respect for the Cao family, and all family affairs are handed over to the Cao family. And Zhang Xun was not very wealthy in his early years, only one wife and one concubine, and he was not reused until he was forty years old, so he accepted the rest of the nine concubines. Therefore, except for the eldest daughter of Cao's eldest son and the second daughter born to the second aunt, the rest of the children are very young.

When Zhang Xun's eldest son Zhang Mengchao was born, the Zhang family was quite dilapidated, and Zhang Xun liked to drink, so Zhang Mengchao was a little crazy after he was born, and no one was willing to marry his daughter to him.

Zhang Xun's eldest daughter Mengyi is eighteen years old, and she has always had her own opinions, Zhang Xun is very fond of Mengyi, and knows more about this daughter's character. This time, Zhang Xun's marriage is to make amends, and marrying the Wang family will definitely not be welcomed, and Zhang Xun, who loves his eldest daughter, is naturally unwilling to marry Mengyi.

The rest of the daughters only the sixteen-year-old second daughter Menglan is the most suitable, Menglan's mother is Zhang Xun's first concubine, who died of illness when Menglan was three years old, so she has been raised by his wife Cao. But Menglan has a weak temperament and has been bullied by the eldest sister Mengyi, Zhang Xun is good to every child, but the more he treats Menglan, the more Menglan bullies her, making Zhang Xun not angry but helpless. In 1923, when Zhang Xun was working as an apartment in the Zhangjia apartment in the Tianjin Concession, his six children died of scarlet fever overnight, Zhang Xun was grief-stricken, and died of sadness a few days later.

Zhang Xun compares Menglan and Menglan, one of the two daughters has a pungent temperament and does not obey discipline, and the other has a weak temperament and has been bullied, so Menglan is more suitable.

"Alas...... The little girl Menglan is sixteen this year, and it is better to be ...... in the boudoir" Zhang Xun said with some distress.

Chen Zhaotang reported Zhang Xun's willingness to marry his second daughter to Wang Yongan as a wife to Zhang Renjun, who naturally didn't want to see Zhang Xun liquidated after he left, so he hurriedly said that he would be a guarantee, and asked Chen Zhaotang to take a fast horse to Yangzhou to propose marriage.

The two brothers, Wang Yongtai and Wang Yongan, had finished inspecting the troops in Yangzhou at this time, and were greatly satisfied with the spring crackdown on bandits, not only tempering the army, but also seizing a large amount of materials, with a total value of more than 100,000 taels. Wang Yongan left 50,000 taels for army logistics, and the rest of the silver taels were distributed according to merit, and each soldier received at least two or three taels of silver, and everyone was very happy.

When she was happy, Yuxiu hurriedly found Wang Yongan and said that Nianzhen's condition had worsened. Wang Yongan hurriedly returned home, and when he saw Nianzhen's face becoming more and more pale, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up: "What's wrong, how can it get worse?" How did it get worse? Is it good to eat without taking medicine? ā€

The doctor shook his head and said, "Fourth son, the medicines you brought are indeed good, but ...... Madame took the medicine, and the lungworm also took the medicine, and the lungworm gradually survived. A little medicine can't cure the new lung worm, so Mrs. She became seriously ill in the summer...... "The doctor's meaning is that tuberculosis is enhanced with the enhancement of the anti-sensitivity of the drug, and now the drug can no longer be controlled.

Wang Yongan sat beside Nianzhen dejectedly, looking at Nianzhen with a reluctant smile, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He is not an emotional person, nor is he a rational person, the two have met for nearly three years now, but they don't want to be confident that they can prolong Nianzhen's life, but now they are watching him lose weight day by day.

Nianzhen clenched Wang Yongan's hand, feeling that his hand was trembling, she smiled and persuaded: "Husband, my own body knows by myself, don't be sad, I have long thought about this day, I am already satisfied with you and Xiaotian." ā€

Yuxiu hugged Xiaotian over and put it next to Nianzhen's pillow, now the little guy is babbling and has learned to call Mom and Dad, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Xiaotian touched Nianzhen's face and said with a smile, "Mom...... Mommy ......"

Nianzhen looked at Xiaotian fondly, and when he looked at it, he only felt that the pillow was wet.

Wang Yongan blamed himself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for what career I'm busy with, it's all my fault......"

Nianzhen shook his head and said, "How can I blame you at this time, I have been sick for more than ten years." ā€

Wang Yongan said: "If you don't give birth to Xiaotian, my body and bones will not become weaker, and I will not be seriously eroded by tuberculosis bacteria, which is all selfish." ā€

Nianzhen said: "It's my blessing to be able to give birth to Xiaotian, otherwise how can anyone give me a tribute after I die?" If I die in the future, Xiaotian can still give me less paper money, and I can come to the ancestral hall to serve every year, and it is too late for me to rejoice. You don't know the habit of my hometown, if my daughter's family has no children, she can't be buried after death, and no one can pay tribute. ā€

To this day, there is still this custom in many places, not to mention China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the mark of a woman's success is to look at her woman, and the mark to measure a man is to look at his career achievements. Among Chinese women, women in Henan Province and Shandong Province are the most traditional, although Nianzhen has been exposed to a lot of foreign things and has taken the initiative to learn medical aid, but he is extremely traditional in his bones, otherwise he would not have left a son and a half daughter to Wang Yongan regardless of his illness.

"Alas......" Wang Yongan sighed, he can defeat his opponent, but he can't defeat the disease, he can help others, but he can't help his family, this helplessness and helplessness make him feel down. In the following days, Wang Yongan has been by Nianzhen's side.
