Chapter 098: Phoenix Walk (2)
Through Tian Yingzhao and Shen Zonghei, it took almost no effort for Wang Zhenyu to successfully master the land of the eight counties of Phoenix. Of course, if it is said to be completely mastered, then there is a big question mark, because according to Tian Yingzhao, this place of Phoenix is not only the pole army, but also the Miao village shili and the elder brother Shili, in short, it is very complicated.
However, if you can subdue the Pole Army, there is nothing to worry about next. Just when everything was going well, an unexpected episode happened.
That night, the Shen family and the Tian family held a banquet together to entertain the town guard and his wife. The Phoenix people worship warriors, and Wang Zhenyu dares to go here without an army, which is a brave act in the eyes of the Phoenix people. Moreover, the story of Wang Zhenyu's affairs during the Xinhai Revolution has already spread in Phoenix after the Changsha Rebellion, the suppression of bandits in Jingzhou, and the story of Hongjiang driving Zhou through Tian Yingzhao's big mouth. The Phoenix people regard him as the god of war, and he will definitely be a figure who stands up to the sky in the future, and what is even more surprising is that such a great god is so young and has an unlimited future.
For this reason, Shen Zongsi and others brought their sons one after another, the purpose was to have the opportunity to let the town guard take a look, and if there was a response in the future, the road of the descendants would be much easier.
The banquet was very warm, everyone was very enthusiastic, and the beautiful Miao girls came up to dance a beautiful group dance, which was naturally very pleasant......
Xiaoyue sat next to Ye Ziwen, although her identity was a maid, but the experience of living with Ye Ziwen for ten years made Ye Ziwen treat her as a sister for a long time. In contrast, Song Haomin and Zhu Cihan were not so happy, they could only stand behind Wang Zhenyu honestly.
Shen Zongsi brought three children, the eldest Shen Yunlu, the second Shen Yuehuan, and the fourth Shen Quan.
Because of Shen Congwen's relationship, Wang Zhenyu also took a special look at the three children. This eldest is already fourteen or fifteen years old, and the second is eight or nine years old, who is Shen Congwen of these two children? They are all thin and small bodies, and they seem to have been sick when they were children. Wang Zhenyu suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, all literary creations come from life, why should he know who Shen Congwen is? Taking the liberty of changing other people's lives is likely to make Shen Congwen no longer exist in history.
As soon as I thought of this, my curiosity about the juvenile version of Shen Congwen was relieved.
When he saw the third child, Wang Zhenyu was very surprised. The first two elder brothers are both frail and sickly, but although the fourth elder Shen Quan is only six years old, his physique is very strong. If the sports team of later generations were to be selected, there was a chance that this child would have been selected.
Wang Zhenyu immediately asked Shen Zonghei, who was sitting beside him: "Brother Shen, why is the fourth brother of your family so strong, and he is not ordinary with these two brothers!" ”
Shen Zongsi didn't expect the town guard envoy to ask this question, and replied after being slightly stunned: "These three children were all sick when they were young, and the second and fourth children even had smallpox, but with some luck, Zuihou survived. At that time, I was afraid that the child would not be able to raise it, so I hired a nanny to take care of it. The fourth child's nanny is a Miao girl and takes good care of her, so her physique is naturally much stronger than that of her two elder brothers. ”
After listening to this, Wang Zhenyu nodded and did not say anything else.
At this time, Shen Yunlu squeezed to his father Shen Zonghe's side and whispered in a low voice.
It turned out that this child saw Xiaoyue beside Ye Ziwen and thought that this sister was so beautiful, more beautiful than the girls in the village. Early marriage was prevalent in Xiangxi in this era, and some families who were not wealthy even set a child daughter-in-law for their children when they were only a few years old.
At the level of large households, it is also more peculiar, not men choose women, but women choose men. Large families intermarry with each other, and when the children are not a few years old, they will be engaged to have a baby parent. Shen Yunlu was not in good health because he was not able to be engaged when he was young. On the contrary, the fourth child, Shen Quan, is in good health and likable, so he was hired as a son-in-law by Tian Yingzhao's brother Tian Yingquan early.
Shen Zongsi loved this eldest son very much, and seeing that his son liked this little moon, he immediately inquired about Tian Yingzhao, and knew that this girl was the personal maid of the town guard envoy's wife. Although he felt that there was a disparity in identity, out of doting on his son, Shen Zongsi asked Wang Zhenyu to hire Xiaoyue as his eldest daughter-in-law on the spot.
Shen Zonghei is a quick talker, his son on the front foot said that he liked it, and he proposed marriage on the back foot. The people of the phoenix seem to be strange and accustomed to it. However, on Wang Zhenyu's side, all from Ye Ziwen to Ye Ziwen are cold.
Shen Zongsi is not a rough person, as soon as he saw the cold scene here, he immediately felt a panic for no reason.
The most embarrassing person is not him, but Wang Zhenyu, who doesn't know what to say now. People want to face trees and bark, and they just accept others to join them, and they refuse other people's requests, so how can others deal with themselves in the future?
But looking at his nervous wife Ye Ziwen, Wang Zhenyu is angry and funny, Xiaoyue and Song Haomin should be the most anxious and nervous, okay, you little aunt and grandmother are so nervous to see what I am doing. Just look at it, what kind of thing are you pinching and kicking under the table!
Tian Yingzhao saw that it was cold, especially when he saw the eyes of Wang Zhenyu's guard captain Zhao Dongsheng who wanted to breathe fire, he immediately knew that something bad was wrong with Shen Zonghei, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Brother Wenzheng, this phoenix is a seedling land, and our custom here is like this, go straight and straight." If there is something wrong, you can refuse it directly, which is also allowed by our custom here. ”
When Wang Zhenyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Captain Shen, sit down and listen to me." This Xiaoyue girl is my maid, but she has been together for ten years and is already like a sister. If it is worthy of being your eldest daughter-in-law, it is actually my Wang who has climbed high. ”
Song Haomin was standing behind Wang Zhenyu at this moment, and when he heard the word Gao Pan, he almost shouted excitedly: Commander, Xiaoyue and I are in love, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum.
Xiao Yue had fog in her eyes, and her little hands were tightly squeezed together.
Wang Zhenyu's next words made them change from nervous to shy......
"I, Adjutant Song, and Miss Xiaoyue have long been in love, but the two of them are afraid of my jokes, and they have been carrying me and my insiders behind my back. I'm a kind-hearted person, so I believe in that, oh, by the way, I'd rather tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage. In this life, the fate of Miss Xiaoyue and Ling Lang is still a little worse, so this Shu Wang is arbitrary once, and he can't accept you. ”
Shen Zongsi knew that he had been rejected, his face was blue and white for a while, and the other characters in the phoenix looked at him, and Shen Zongsi felt very uncomfortable.
Wang Zhenyu seemed to feel this discomfort, he stood up and pressed Shen Zongsi back to his seat with his own hands: "Brother Shen, don't mind, I think Ling Gongzi is talented, and he will be a good match in the future." I have one thing to ask for. ”
During the banquet, everyone stopped talking and looked at Wang Zhenyu and Shen Zonghei, they were all very curious about what Wang Zhenyu was asking for.
"My lord, but it doesn't matter, as long as Shen can do it, he will never give up" With the steps down, Shen Zonghei felt better.
"I like your fourth child very much, looking at his appearance, he will be a pillar of the country and a general in the future. Wang has a reluctant request, and wants to accept him as a righteous son, and when he reaches the age of fifteen, he will receive personal training from his side, I don't know if it is possible? ”
After Wang Zhenyu finished speaking, he looked at Shen Zongsi with a sincere face.
Shen Zonghei was ecstatic in his heart, what is the future, this is the future. The town guard who held the four prefectures in Xiangxi actually recognized his son as his righteous son, which was tantamount to publicly assuring everyone of the Shen family's political status. What else is there to think about this, the previous unpleasantness immediately vanished. Shen Zongsi immediately grabbed the fourth Shen Quan and came over to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Zhenyu was also in a happy mood, and hugged Shen Quan in public, and immediately felt that this child was a bit heavy.
This is not the end, and it is not rude to come and go, Shen Zongsi immediately proposed to hold a wedding for Song Haomin and Ye Xiaoyue according to the customs of the Miao family, and he was a witness. Of course, Wang Zhenyu couldn't refuse anymore, and he couldn't care about his wife's small movements and Ye Xiaoyue's shyness, so he nodded and agreed. The whole banquet was pushed to a climax again......
Afterwards, Wang Zhenyu pulled Shen Zonghe's eldest son Shen Yunlu alone, first understood that he liked to paint, then encouraged a few words, and asked Zhu Cihan to arrange to send this child a set of oil painting tools later, and this little unexpected episode was over......
For the problem of Phoenix, it is actually really different from other places, because of historical reasons, Phoenix's pole army is actually a tun army. If the question of this army involves land, it will be very complicated and troublesome. However, in Wang Zhenyu's view, because of the particularity of the times, it doesn't matter if these pole troops are tun troops now, and soon these phoenix men will be recruited into the army by themselves, and the tun army will also become a tool for themselves to dominate the world. Therefore, for Phoenix's current system, except for the government, nothing else will be moved, and Wang Zhenyu's abacus is to let himself change slowly. After all, there is no need to underestimate the wisdom of the working people, as long as there are no restrictions on centralization, under the state of local autonomy, people will adjust themselves.
Now that he has subdued the gan army, it is time to take his wife around to play, Wang Zhenyu pinched his fingers and calculated, I am afraid that he will be busier after going back this time, and he will have no time to accompany his little wife who is still a minor.
Tian Yingzhao has long been tired of the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and Shen Zongsi is busy going to Jingzhou to take office, so Zuihou is sure that he can only be accompanied by Tian Yingzhao's brother Tian Yingquan, after all, the anti-smoking corps is still being formed.
The first stop was naturally to go to Fenghuang Ancient Town, of course, it can't be said to be a tour, but to visit the residence of Xiong Xiling, the current chief financial officer of the Beiyang government. This is already the rule of Phoenix, although Xiong Xiling is not here, but the post still has to be delivered.
However, what made Wang Zhenyu a little disappointed was that Ye Ziwen did not have any surprise for the Phoenix building except for tossing happily in the stream for a while, and it is estimated that there are too few high-rise buildings in the city at present.
Wang Zhenyu tried his best to please his wife, how could he give up halfway, he thought that his parents had taken him to swim in the Mengdong River in Yongshun when he was a child, and the mountain monkeys on both sides of the river left a deep impression on him, and he immediately told Tian Yingquan his thoughts.
Tian Yingquan happened to be there, although he didn't understand what there was to see about a few monkeys and a pitch-black cave, but since his new boss liked it, let's go.
When the group passed by Guzhang, Tian Yingquan introduced a person to Wang Zhenyu.
