Chinese New Year's Eve, a traditional festival of the Chinese people.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the roaring sound of firecrackers has already spread all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall. You don't have to go out to smell the smoke in the air. It's a festive taste.

The Ming Empire has dominated the world for hundreds of years, not just military politics. In terms of culture, the governance of the economy has also profoundly influenced the traditional habits of the world. Various traditional festivals have also traveled all over the world with the footsteps of the Chinese people.

The Spring Festival is also an important day for various countries in the world. Whether you want to or not, whether you oppose the Ming Dynasty openly or secretly, there will still be many people in the world who have been deeply influenced for many years to celebrate this festival.

Zhang Cheng had already woken up when the sky was just bright. Guan Kuo, Wang Yan and others had already gone home for the holiday, and at this time, only Zhang Cheng and a driver and bodyguard introduced by Wang Yan were still there.

The bodyguard, named Xiao Hongbao, is an orphan. He has learned martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary. When his hometown suffered a disaster and his relatives died, Xiao Hongbao went to the imperial capital alone. Later, with extraordinary skills, he was in the military. Selected by the newspaper bureau as an action officer training.

After Wang Yan followed Zhang Cheng to do things, he introduced Xiao Hongbao to be Zhang Cheng's bodyguard. Although Guan Kuo is very loyal to Zhang Cheng, his skills are really not as good as Xiao Hongbao. Whether it is martial arts, marksmanship, or reaction speed, they are all first-rate.

Zhang Cheng got up to wash up, changed into a clean and straight military uniform, and simply made some food in the kitchen and ate with Xiao Hongbao early, and then got into the car with the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.

Zhang Cheng was going to visit Xu Xuan's home. There is free love in this era, but it is absolutely impossible to let go like the modern time and space. The mainstream of this era is still the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. The position of parents is extremely important. Since Zhang Cheng has identified Xu Xuan, he will naturally not violate the values of mainstream society. Although there were unpleasant things when he was in the London Concession, Zhang Cheng didn't know about it at all. After all, I didn't go in the end, did I?

As the only daughter in the family, Xu Xuan's status is absolutely important in the eyes of her parents. Because Xu Xuan was admitted to Ewha Womans University, which can be called the top in the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, her parents also gave up their life in the colony to accompany their daughter back to the imperial capital. Of course, there is no relationship with Zhang Cheng in this.

Although Zhang Cheng was only a lieutenant colonel in the army, he was already a well-known promising young man when he was in the London Concession. is worth a lot of money and has outstanding ability, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world.

Xu Xuan's parents knew very well that when they were in the London Concession, there were already countless people who were hot on this young man who was about to go to Lu University for further study and had a promising future. Now that their daughter has a fate with such a young handsome man, Xu Xuan's parents will naturally not do anything more at this moment.

The streets were littered with confetti, and the already gloomy sky was darkened by the endless smoke of gunpowder. Adults and children in new clothes happily set off firecrackers and stretched out their hearts to the fullest. The whole city was plunged into a sea of joy.

In this era, the Ming Dynasty had a developed economy and colonies all over the world. It has truly achieved the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the whole world is not the king's land. All kinds of materials are extremely abundant. At this time of the Chinese New Year, whether it is the royal family, Lord Shousuke, or even various consortium families, they have also generously donated money in exchange for fame. In any case, the majority of the people are still able to get by.

When it comes to the New Year, it is okay to eat, drink, set off firecrackers, buy new clothes, and do anything. Compared with this era in the history of modern time and space, it is completely one heaven and one earth.

Zhang Cheng, who was sitting in the back row, crossed his legs, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and propped his elbow on the window with one hand on his chin. Squinted his eyes slightly at the hustle and bustle of the world outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment, Zhang Cheng withdrew his gaze and sighed lightly. looked at Xiao Hongbao, who was driving quietly in the front row, smiled, and asked out loud, "We seem to be orphans, do you have any thoughts on this day of family reunion?" ”

Xiao Hongbao grinned and responded with a smile, "I want to find a good girl to marry and start a family now, so that I will not be an orphan." ”

"Hahaha~~~," Zhang Cheng raised his head and laughed, "It's really a good idea." So we thought of going together. ”

"Hey, hey." Xiao Hongbao smiled, and after a moment, he said softly, "Sir, if you choose Miss Xu, what will happen to that Miss Lin?" As Zhang Cheng's driver and bodyguard, Xiao Hongbao naturally knows many secret things about Zhang Cheng. This is the real henchman. Zhang Cheng dated Xu Xuan and Lin Run'e at the same time during this time, and he didn't treat him differently. This made Xiao Hongbao feel a touch of worry all the time. That Lin girl doesn't look like she is willing to be a concubine. room of people.

Here is a mention, although after many years of development and opening eyes to the world. and large-scale absorption of Western culture, but the Ming Dynasty is still a conservative country. The rules that were handed down many years ago are still enforced. Although the woman. The status of women has been greatly improved, but a husband. Many. Wife. The system is still the default existence. As long as you have the strength, there is no problem with marrying several wives. But it's positive. There is only one wife. This is the legal match under the law. Idol. This is also the reason why Xu Xuanming knew Lin Run'e's idea but never broke it.

Zhang Cheng slowly lowered his eyelids when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "There will be a solution to everything after all, let's talk about it then." ”

Xiao Hongbao nodded helplessly. It is already a bit beyond him to be able to mention this kind of personal matter, as for what to do, it is Zhang Cheng's business

Xu Xuan's parents have shifted their careers from the London Concession back home. Xu's father sold his company and used his savings for many years and the money from the sale of the company to buy a house in the imperial capital. You must know that even in this era, the housing prices in the imperial capital are definitely not something that ordinary people can look up to.

The Xu family is a three-story villa with a garden. Beautiful environment and fresh air. The imperial capital of this era was political. In the center of governance, culture, and science and technology, there is basically no heavy industry indoors. Even the factories on the outskirts of the city are mostly assembly plants, and they do a very good job of controlling pollution.

Most of the Xu family's savings were invested in this house and Xu Xuan's high tuition fees. Although Xu Xuan's grades are good, he is not to the extent that he can get a full scholarship. Now Xu's father works in a bank, and Xu's mother has also found a job as a piano teacher at a private school. Although it is not as good as life in the concession area, at least there is no need for food and clothing. Parents can indeed give everything for their children.

When Zhang Cheng's car came to stop in front of Xu's house, Zhang Cheng, who was looking outside through the car window, couldn't help laughing.

"How did this happen again?" Zhang Cheng slowly lowered his eyelids and whispered to himself.

Several cars were parked in front of Xu's house. Several well-dressed young men with meticulous hair combed and handsome faces were holding flowers in front of the Xu family, talking to the Xu family's servants. You don't have to think much about this formation to know what it's all about. Zhang Cheng first met Xu Xuan in Central Park in the London Concession.

There is no shortage of beauty in this world. Female people. Pear Blossom Girl. Sub-university as the most prestigious female. Sub University, the students in it are definitely the best women in the whole Ming Dynasty. Bear. Xu Xuan was born beautiful, and he became a strong candidate for the first pear blossom of Pear University just after entering the school, and naturally he was indispensable to the suitor. This is the imperial capital, what kind of powerful and rich children don't have it?

"Sure enough, there is no shortage of suitors wherever a good girl goes." Zhang Cheng smiled and said softly.

"Do you need me to get rid of them all?" Xiao Hongbao in the front row said with a smile.

Zhang Cheng glanced at him, "That's my girlfriend, and I'll be on the scene if I want to get rid of it." Don't look at me now, I'm a little thin now, I'm very good at fighting. "Of course it's a joke, what does it matter to go straight to the fist? Zhang Cheng didn't care about these Chinese New Year's Eve not at home with his family, but ran to the woman. Attentive guys at the kid's doorstep. These people couldn't get into Xu Xuan's eyes at all.

If you want to impress Xu Xuan by sending flowers and gifts, she has already been taken down when she was in the London Concession. From the fact that she can argue with her parents who love her, it can be seen that Xu Xuanke is a very assertive person.

Zhang Cheng put on his military hat, tidied up his military uniform, opened the car door and walked out.

Originally, those gentlemen had already paid attention to Zhang Cheng's car when it drove over, and when Zhang Cheng, who was dressed in a straight military uniform, stepped out of the car, the eyes of these people changed.

Although the appearance is ordinary, it is far inferior to these well-dressed gentlemen. But Zhang Cheng, who was dressed in a straight military uniform, just stopped there, and suddenly he looked heroic, and the temperament of the whole person completely crushed these oily noodles. After all, he is a character who has been on the battlefield and experienced the test of life and death. That kind of temperament is completely different. How is it possible that such a strong contrast does not upset the proud sons of these days?

When the maid who was blocked at the door and was annoyed by these gentlemen saw Zhang Cheng, his eyes lit up and he shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhang, are you here?" At that time, the faces of the gentlemen were already extremely ugly.

Zhang Cheng used to send Xu Xuan back when he went out to watch movies and dramas with Xu Xuan, and the servants of the Xu family naturally knew Zhang Cheng. Moreover, the maid had already been informed that Mr. Zhang would come to visit today.

Zhang Cheng didn't even look at the gentlemen with uncertain faces, and took Xiao Hongbao, who was carrying a gift behind him, to the gate of the Xu family.

"What? It's just a small lieutenant colonel, so arrogant? In this case, there are naturally people who can't stand it and make sarcastic remarks.

Zhang Cheng's footsteps paused slightly, then turned around and came to the person who spoke, raised his eyelids, looked at him with an indifferent face, and said softly, "You, look down on soldiers?" ”
