Shangguan Xue'er's return gift made Ye Teng's emotional threads continue to be cut and sorted out in a mess!

Whether it is to escape without chaos, I believe that if things are slow, it will be rounded, in the current situation, Ye Teng can only put this matter aside for the time being.

In particular, there are a lot of internal affairs, which need to be handled by him personally.

For example, the marriage promised to the Zhen family should have been fulfilled last year, that is, around September 191, but now it has been overdue for nearly a year, and it can't be delayed any longer, even if you don't marry, you have to give the Zhen family an explanation.

Since Zhen Yao defected to Ye Teng because of the order to seek talent, the Zhen clan has successively appeared under Ye Teng. Among the current ranks of officials in Tianma City, there is not only Zhen Yao, who is engaged in the state bookkeeper, who is in charge of the money and grain books of the entire Tianma City forces, and has become Chen Gong's right-hand man. And there are many Zhen family members who have positions such as county-level subordinate officials, county officials, and county lieutenants.

However, Ye Teng not only has a marriage contract with the Zhen family that has not been fulfilled, but also the promise he made when he asked major merchants, including the Zhen family and the Mi family, to help move out of Lelang County, has not yet been fulfilled.

Now, the battle of the Japanese conquest that belongs to the forces of Tianma City has come to an end for the time being.

And the civil war of the princes in the country, when the national war is at the head, it is not suitable to start the war lightly. Therefore, Ye Teng was ready to wait for this gap period before the return of the Japanese army, and sorted out these two or three in advance.

In view of the important role that the Zhen family is playing now, and the great contribution it has always made, after a little thought, Ye Teng decided to visit the Zhen Mansion in person to show his sincerity and eliminate the estrangement.

…

For thousands of years, although the Zhen family has not produced any high-ranking officials, nor has it stood at the center of power, it is not a prominent high-ranking family.

However, the family style of getting rich in business and reading has been passed down for dozens of generations. Therefore, the children of the Zhen family, in addition to studying, are in business, and there is almost no waste and squandering.

Since the establishment of the mansion in Tianma City, the Zhen family has successively relocated the industrial foundation and the clansmen. Today's Tianma City Zhen Mansion is one of the most magnificent buildings under Ye Teng's rule.

Standing in front of the weathered Zhen Mansion, Ye Teng didn't have any idea of fighting local tyrants.

In Ye Teng's cognition, the lawless families and wealthy families can be suppressed, and the rotten families and wealthy families can be uprooted, as long as they cause harm to the people of the entire Han Dynasty and turn back the clock on history.

However, it does not mean that Ye Teng hates the group of families and wealthy families.

On the contrary, Ye Teng believes that in the thousands of years of patriarchal social inheritance in China, the family is the unit, and the family is passed down from generation to generation, so that there is a later family.

Their efforts have not only developed their own families, but also accumulated wealth, cultivated talents, and inherited culture for China, which is the foundation of ancient China's pride in the whole world.

With such a background, if the people in power wantonly destroy and eradicate it, it is a typical cub who sells Ye Tian and is not distressed!

"General, why are you here?"

Just as Ye Teng was standing in front of Zhen's mansion, thinking a little, light-footed and smart-eyed little beauty was stepping out of Zhen's mansion and greeted Ye Teng in surprise.

"Are you Zhen Dao or Zhen Rong?" The two sisters looked a little alike, and Ye Teng couldn't tell the difference.

"I'm Zhen Rong, and the third sister is already so tall!" As she spoke, the little girl reached out and gestured to the top of her head.

Ye Teng was a little abrupt, since the last time he visited Wuji Zhen's Mansion, unconsciously, more than four years have passed, and Zhen Rong, a little girl who was only ten years old at the beginning, is now fourteen years old, and according to the customs of the Han Dynasty, she has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet.

Zhen Mi, who is now more than 9 years old, must have begun to take on the posture of captivating the country and the city, right?

"I didn't expect that Zhen Rong's sister has grown so big!" Ye Teng habitually stretched out his hand, wanting to rub the little girl's head, but then retracted his hand, this is different from the real world, this move will be regarded as frivolous and rude!

Zhen Rong was unaware of Ye Teng's somewhat strange behavior, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the general for a few years, of course we will grow up!" Is the general here to find his mother? ”

"yes, at home?" Ye Teng asked.

"Yes, General, please! Rong'er will show you the way! After all, Zhen Rong was a child, jumping up and down to lead the way in front, introducing the layout of Zhen's mansion as he walked.

Before stepping into Zhen's mansion and passing through the vestibule, from a distance, he saw Zhen's mother Zhang taking Zhen Jiang to usher in quickly, Ye Teng naturally didn't want to pace slowly, and quickly greeted him, saying, "Disturb Madame!" ”

"The general is outside, you are a distinguished guest of the Zhen Mansion, how can you disturb it!" Zhang said politely.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Ye Teng couldn't help but look at the two in front of him slightly.

Zhang is still a charming middle-aged beauty, giving people a full sense of frozen age.

And Zhen Jiang was 22 years old at this time, and she was a real older leftover girl in Dahan. But because of his perennial pampering and management of the family business, if in the real world, he should be a real young and young man, pure and charming, slender and shrewd.

"Madame's demeanor is still the same, Miss Jiang is radiant, it's a pity to congratulate!"

Ye Teng's face-to-face compliment, although it is incompatible with the customs of the Han Dynasty, is always pleasant to be appreciated and praised by others.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "You're polite, please talk in the hall, general, please!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am, please!" Ye Teng nodded.

Immediately, the two walked side by side, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Rong were slightly two steps behind, occasionally whispering.

…

In the spacious and luxurious hall of the Zhen family, the guests and hosts sat down.

Ye Teng said: "When I asked the Zhen family to help the people of Lelang move to Tianma City, I made a promise to the Zhen family. And in the depths of my heart, with the contribution of the Zhen family all the time and the ability it has shown, I should have given a reward for the governance of a county! But now, the start of the national war is indeed not a good opportunity to start a civil war and conquer the city, so I solemnly apologize to my wife and the Zhen family here, and once again reiterate that as long as the time comes, Teng will definitely fulfill this promise! ”

Zhang shook his head, and his tone was indifferent: "Due to the care of the general, there are not a few people in the Zhen clan who are now officials. And in business, it is better than ever. The Zhen family is not a person who is difficult to fill, and will not have to ask the general for excessive returns because they have paid a little manpower and material resources. ”

As a shrewd businessman, Zhang naturally does not gain an inch in politics and authority, giving people the impression of being overly greedy.

But Ye Teng can't use it as an excuse to break his promise.

So the tone became more and more sonorous: "The principles of the Zhen family and the nobility of the lady are known from far and near!" Ke Teng is not a person who promises lightly, since he said it at the beginning, he must practice his words! ”

Zhang nodded solemnly and said, "In that case, the general came to the door this time, is he here to ask for a kiss?" ”

With a gentle word, the strength of the huge Zhen family ruler is occasionally revealed in the gentle tone and soft body!
