Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard this, Wang Cheng didn't look young, but killing people is no different from cutting cabbage, and he is ruthless.

Gan Hui said again, "Gong is still hesitating? Marriage has three major benefits to the public, one of which is that no matter whether the prime minister is called the emperor or not, the real power of the court is in his hands, and the Zheng family has only advantages and no disadvantages in pulling this backer; Second, the son and the fourth master are in his hands, if the general is unstable, the son and the fourth master are more auspicious; Third, if the public wants to achieve a maritime business empire, it must be based on the mainland, and the Zheng family's naval division is comparable to the world, but the land division is by no means the opponent of the Central Plains armies, if Wang Chengxiang does not go west and goes south, then the Zheng family can only drift on the sea and become a rootless person, which I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the naval division will never agree, and the general is destroying the Great Wall."

Zheng Zhilong finally nodded vigorously, and his heart had made up his mind.

"Okay, just according to Mr. Will, bet on it"

"It's not a gamble, but the road leads to the sky, and the Zheng family has been swimming in the sea since then"

The two laughed.

But Zheng Zhilong must not have guessed Gan Hui's careful thinking, what kind of person is Gan Hui, he has a national policy in his chest, and a million soldiers in his heart, he has long seen through Zheng Zhilong is a person with no ambitions, and there will be no good future if he follows him, why not encourage him to take refuge in Prime Minister Wang, then he will follow him logically, with his own ability, through the relationship of the Zheng family to catch up with the prime minister, why not worry about being a founding hero.

Gan Hui suggested, "If the general doesn't dislike it, he will go and meet that Zhang Shangshu for a while to reach this marriage for the general."

Zheng Zhilong couldn't ask for it, "Very good." Very good, if this matter is successful, I will definitely protect Mr. from the imperial court."

"Under the command. Farewell"

"Okay, I'll go and talk to the little girl, I'm a girl, haha, I can't imagine that our Zheng family still has the life of being a queen, haha"

The Zheng family compound is also a well-known deep house compound in Fuzhou, don't look at Zheng Zhilong's bandit background. But several of his children are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, not to mention Zheng Sen, the youngest daughter Zheng Sijia is even more out of the door. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has a good hand of female red, since childhood with his brother Zheng Sen grew up in Fusang, his real name is Tagawa Bajiasi. When he was ten years old, he returned to Daming. Named Zheng Jiasi, he is proficient in Japanese, Chinese, and Portuguese, and is very loved by Zheng Zhilong.

In the past few years, the matchmaker who proposed marriage has sent away one stubble after another, Zheng Zhilong is reluctant, and he feels wronged by anyone who marries his daughter.

Zheng Zhilong came to the inner house and met his wife Weng (Japanese Tagawa clan, the mother of the Sichuan clan remarried to a person surnamed Weng in Japan, so it can also be called Weng). Speaking of this little girl's marriage.

Fuso women are notoriously submissive men, and she doesn't have an idea about this kind of thing. Even if it means that everything is subject to the husband and the monarch, if there is really such a good family, the daughter has already reached the age of leaving the cabinet.

Zheng Zhilong was very happy, so he came to his daughter's attic again, and when he looked up, he saw that his daughter Jiasi was reading by the window, she was so serious that even Zheng Zhilong couldn't bear to disturb her.

But I still have to talk to her about my daughter's lifelong events, Zheng Zhilong has been dealing with Yangyi all the year round, and he is more open-minded about his children's marriage, so he went straight to his daughter's attic boudoir.

'Knock knock'

"Daughter, it's Dad" Zheng Zhilong knocked on the door.

There was a sound of Dengzi moving in the house, and after a while, the maid opened the door, and Zheng Jiasi clasped her hands at the window and squatted down to salute.

"My daughter has seen her father" She respects etiquette very much and strictly abides by Confucian etiquette.

Zheng Jiasi wore a pink long skirt, the cuffs were embroidered with pale yellow peonies, the placket was outlined with brocade thread to outline a few auspicious clouds, the hem was embroidered with blue sea water clouds, the chest was wrapped in pale yellow brocade, a blue-green ribbon was tied around the waist, the slender waist was not full of a hand, the skin was delicate and soft like a warm jade, the cherry mouth was not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the two strands of hair on the cheeks were gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turned wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a little elegant, Zheng Jiasi was so flawless, It's so beautiful that it doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and it's so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed.

Zheng Zhilong was full of smiles, no matter when, as long as he saw this daughter, he didn't have anything to worry about, and his daughter was the pearl of his palm.

"Daughter, please excuse me, how many times have I told you, you don't have to bow all the time at home, sit down, sit, you are reading"

Zheng Zhilong walked over and flipped over the books that were upside down on the table, Zheng Zhilong was not knowledgeable and had no sense of books.

"My daughter is reading a poem, or my daughter will listen to her father's back"

Zheng Zhilong listened attentively, sat down and said, "Okay, I like to listen to my daughter read poems to her father."

Actually, he didn't feel any interest at all, but he liked it if his daughter liked it.

Zheng Jiasi moved the lotus step lightly, pressed her fingers to her lips, and whispered softly, and her sweet voice came.

"The nine songs of Longchi are far away, and the willow silk leads the wind on both sides; It looks like a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the painting boats come and go in the blue waves"

Where did Zheng Zhilong know these things, but in order to be happy with his daughter, he also nodded again and again, "Well, good poems, good poems, the poems written by my daughter are just not ordinary"

Zheng Jiasi 'fluttered', covered her mouth and smiled, and walked to the table to pour tea for her father.

"Dad, you are always like this, this poem was written by your daughter, this is the poem of Mrs. Hua Rui in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the daughter is just intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in the poem"

"Huh!" Zheng Longzhi patted his head and smiled, "That's also a good poem, and the poem that can make my daughter like it must be a good poem."

Zheng Jiasi shook her fragrant shoulders, "Dad, if you say this again, your daughter will ignore you" said Sakura's red mouth again and again, very playful.

Zheng Zhilong touched the beard on his face and laughed.

"Daughter, Dad wants to talk to you about something, you, go out first" Zheng Zhilong pointed to the two maids in the house.

"What?"

Zheng Zhilong's face was embarrassed, and he laughed dryly, "This, this should have been said by your mother, but you also know that your mother is not from the Central Plains, and she doesn't know much about the marriage in the Central Plains, so, this"

Zheng Jiasi's face flushed, and she hurriedly lifted her skirt and said, "Daddy, isn't he urging his daughter to get married?" ”

"No, no" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly waved his hand, but immediately said again. "Of course, your daughter, you have also grown up, and no matter how much your father loves you, you can't delay your life's events. Girls, after all, they have to get married."

Zheng Jiasi hurriedly walked behind him, waved his pink fist, beat his father's back, and said coquettishly, "Dad, my daughter is still young." I don't want to leave my parents."

Zheng Zhilong said, "You are eighteen years old, and your mother married your father when she was sixteen." Dad told you, Dad picked a good husband for you this time, you, do you want to know? ”

"I don't want to!" Zheng Jiasi's face was full of red. Eighteen years old is the age of the girl's spring. And she is interested in the poems and songs written by her predecessors, where there are many sentences full of strong love between men and women.

Once read Bai Juyi's long hatred song, Zheng Jiasi really blushed and heartbeat for many days, in the sky is willing to be a winged bird, in the earth is willing to be a branch, the sky is long and sometimes ends, this hatred is endless.

In the end, how far does the love between men and women have to go to write this kind of love poem, and what does it look like to love a man. Is it really that unforgettable? Where is her future Langjun?

Another time, she read a poem by Queen Li. It made her toss and turn and couldn't sleep for many days.

Flowers and moons are dark and light mist,

Today, I want to go to Lang's side!

Socks step incense steps,

Hand gold shoes.

See you on the south side of the painting hall,

It's always been a trembling person.

It is difficult for slaves to come out,

The Church is merciful.

Zheng Jiasi hated the beautiful and fragrant Hou Tang Xiao Zhou Hou Zhou Wei in the words, taking advantage of the queen's sister being sick, but ran to the emperor's brother-in-law's tryst, and finally competed with her sister for favor in the harem, but the rare Xiao Zhou Hou had an infatuation with the emperor, and after Empress Li was poisoned, she resolutely martyred.

Is love really that great? Is it really fascinating to fall in love with a man?

Zheng Jiasi in the attic is accompanied by these poems all day long, but she never dares to go out of the house to meet men from the outside world, she knows from the book that a girl, when she is not out of the cabinet, can not let other men see her face casually.

Zheng Zhilong looked up at her sideways, and snorted and laughed, "Look at your little blushing, and say you don't want to, Dad is from here, and you have reached this age, this is not a shameful thing, be serious, you can rest assured, the family that Dad found for you is one in a million, from appearance to character to talent, everything is this" Saying that, he gave a thumbs up, but thought in his heart, yes, my daughter is a talented girl, I don't know if Prime Minister Wang Cheng has ever read a book or can write poetry, he is a martial champion, don't be a rough person like Lao Tzu.

Zheng Jiasi's face turned even redder, "Dad, just blow it, how can there be such a person in the world"

"Look, you're tempted, and you're still using your father and mother as an excuse, you've been thinking about getting married for a long time."

"How can there be" Zheng Jiasijiao's waist trembled, but her mind had already flown out of the window, she wanted to know what it was like to fall in love with a man, and she also made up her mind to love only one man in this life, from the beginning.

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while and said carefully, "Daughter, have you heard of Wang Lanping, the number one martial artist in the world, and now the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Of course Zheng Jiasi has heard it, as early as half a year ago, she heard the maids often talk about this person, and she said that it was red-eared, but she was not interested in a martial artist, she liked literati and scholars, chanting the wind and the moon, and the two of them had better come to a few love poems to tell each other, which is like the love in the book.

"I've heard people talk about it"

Zheng Zhilong smiled, "Does my daughter think he is a man who can be entrusted for life?" ”

Zheng Jia wanted to refuse, but she also knew that this kind of thing was decided by her parents, and it was not her turn to make her own decisions.

"But it's up to your father and mother to decide"

Zheng Zhilong laughed, "Then you just agreed?" ”

"But my daughter doesn't want to get married too early, and my daughter still wants to be filial by her father's side"

"What is this called, men should get married, women should get married, this is also filial piety, and it is the most important filial piety in the world, isn't it said in the book?"

Zheng Jiasi smiled shyly, did not agree but did not refuse.

Ha ha! Zheng Zhilong went happily, as long as his daughter didn't hate each other, marrying the prime minister of the dynasty would be considered a good match, and even a little high-climbing, if Wang Lanping was called the emperor in the future, his daughter Xie herself would not be in a hurry.

As soon as his father left, Zheng Jiasi's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, Wang Zhuangyuan, Wang Chengxiang, General Wang, the world's first martial champion, such a long name, is he really as good as the maids say? Will he fall in love with himself? Will you write those affectionate love poems to yourself? Does he know what it means to be willing to be one-hearted, and not to be separated from each other? Do you know how to die, and are you willing to be a mandarin duck and not an immortal?

Will he make an appointment with himself after dusk?

Will he say to himself that the crowd is looking for her thousands of times, and suddenly look back, but that person is there, in the dim light?

Will he look at the moon when he is not by his side and say, ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, every inch of green silk is sad for the Chinese year, looking at the moon and protecting each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal?

Zheng Jiasi held his cheeks in his hand, his eyes were blurred, looking at the swaying new branches outside the window, his thoughts had already flooded, and his mind was full of sketching the shadow of that man. What would a martial artist look like? It's not like those generals around Daddy, it's better not to marry.

**

Gan Hui received Zheng Zhilong's order to come to talk to Zhang Huang about the marriage between the Zheng and Wang families, and if this matter is changed to Zheng Zhilong himself, there must be something inconvenient to say, Gan Hui is different, knocking on the side, and this meaning has been revealed intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Huangyan is such a character, how can he not hear it, this just saves him a lot of things, and the two hit it off.

Zheng Zhilong, who received Gan Hui's reply, was first surprised, why, you can also call the shots about the prime minister's marriage? But after thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned in my heart, this kid is here, this is why he is here, he must have been entrusted by Prime Minister Wang Cheng when he left Beijing, and the trip to Fujian was to propose relatives, but now it is late, this family matter was proposed by the Zheng family first.

Marriage is just a political means, and the starting point is not purely to conclude a happy couple, many times there is no emotion at all, just to get the benefits they need.

Soon, Zhang Huangyan sent the news to the capital in an urgent manner of 600 miles, just waiting for the Prime Minister's Mansion to send someone to attend the wedding.
