Chapter 36: In a word

Xie Daoyun cried: "My niece knows! It's the niece who is selfish! But the niece already has a place in her heart at this moment. ”

Xie An asked, "Whose child is it?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "It's the young man I told my uncle a few days ago to save my life, and his name is Wang Zhen. ”

Xie An asked, "What is his heart for you?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "When his niece was still married, he told his niece that he wanted to come to the door to propose marriage. ”

Xie An asked, "What is his family background?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "A common man, no power and no power. ”

Xie An was full of displeasure and said, "How can such a person be worthy of you." ”

Xie Daoyun argued with reason: "My niece still remembers that my uncle was deeply moved after hearing the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and asked for her tomb to be called a 'righteous woman's grave'. Liang Shanbo is a scholar from a poor family, and Zhu Yingtai is the daughter of the landlord's family. The uncle was only moved by their story, and did not consider whether they were a good match or not. Similarly, if the king and his niece love each other and are happy with each other, why do they have to take into account their status? ”

Xie An thought for a moment and said, "You get up and speak first!" All right! With the reputation of the Xie family of Chenjun today, you don't need to marry into a wealthy family to support the Xie family. You are my favorite niece, so it's up to you, and your marriage is up to you. However, since the king has no family background, he must not be a mediocre talent. Otherwise, it is not what I am happy to see you marry and suffer with him. If he really comes to the door to propose, I will test him well when the time comes! Are you satisfied? ”

Xie Daoyun was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, uncle, for your success!" Since he can rescue me from the Five Doumi Sect, he must be both wise and brave, although my uncle is in the exam, my niece has confidence in him! ”

Xie An nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay, you go down." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "My niece still has something I want to ask my uncle to agree. ”

Xie An asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Although the marriage contract has been canceled, my niece still wants to stay in Wuyi Lane and not return to Shining Manor. ”

Xie An said: "The family of the children who have no official position lives in the Shining Manor in Dongshan, Huiji County, and the original intention is to let them stay away from the court chores and concentrate on studying. Since you are a woman and you are in the boudoir, you don't have to make hard requirements. If you want to stay in Wuyi Lane, stay in Wuyi Lane. It's just that there is one less person to supervise their reading in the future. ”

Xie Daoyun said happily: "Uncle, rest assured, the children of the Xie family are all motivated, serious and hard in their homework, and they dare not slack off." The seventh brother, Xie Xuanwu, has made great progress in martial arts, and he has been able to win the recent competition with the government soldiers. He aspires to be a general like his father. ”

Xie comforted Xu Le and said, "Okay! Good! Xie Xuan, this kid has a future. If you can become a talent, I can also be worthy of my big brother. ”

Let's go back to the hostage. After Wang Zhen put away his horse, he carried a seven-star sword on his back, a hard bow and arrow on his shoulder, and a box in his hand, and walked on the happy and peaceful street of Happy Square in military uniform, which was quite eye-catching.

Sure enough, a person dressed as a boy and brother laughed and called out to Wang Qian: "Brother Bing! Brother Bing! ”

Wang Zhen stopped to look at this person, although the clothes were luxurious, but he had the face of a good man. Wang Zhen didn't want to cause trouble, especially since he was holding a box of gold and silver tickets in his hand at the moment.

Wang Zhen smiled kindly: "Childe, you recognize the wrong person, I am not Brother Bing." ”

The man laughed and giggled when he heard this, causing many people to stop. The man laughed for a while before he stopped laughing and asked the king, "I call you Brother Bing, why aren't you angry?" ”

It turns out that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty society, calling people Brother A Bing is actually a contempt. From the Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms to the early Eastern Jin Dynasty, the world military system was implemented, and the war was basically undertaken by the "military households" with special household registration, which had nothing to do with ordinary people. The son of the military family inherits the father's business, and the brother dies with the younger brother. By the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the number of military households had been greatly reduced, and it could no longer meet the needs of the war, so the source of troops was supplemented by recruitment, or forced conscription. The people recruited or forcibly conscripted were either poor or outcasts, coupled with the values of escapism, emphasis on literature over military force, and decadence in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, soldiers with their heads pinned to their belts became synonymous with poverty.

So who does the Eastern Jin Dynasty respect? It is a celebrity who indulges in landscapes, drinks all day long, and talks freely. They cite scriptures to debate philosophical ideas such as "life" and "death", "being" and "nothing", which have no answers, and win by arguing at the end of the other party's words, which is called Qing Tan. At that time, Baume & Mercier was very happy about it.

Wang Zhen has been lost in the world for a hundred years, so he naturally does not know that the status of soldiers has been lowered lower than before.

Hearing the rich boy ask, Wang Zhen said with a blank face: "Don't be angry! Why should I be angry? ”

The rich boy laughed, and the education king said, "I'm scolding you!" A sucker! ”

Wang Zhen asked even more blankly: "Why do you say that I am Brother A Bing and scold me?" The soldiers fought bloodily in the front to defend the territory and protect the territory, in exchange for you and I chatting on the street. How did it become a bad thing? ”

The rich boy didn't know how to answer for a while, and suddenly felt that Wang Zhen was very boring, so he scolded "stupid" angrily, and walked away.

Wang Zhen didn't think much about it, and hurriedly returned to Ji Yaxuan to put down his things.

Ah Fu saw Wang Zhen coming up excitedly, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhen, where have you been during this time?" It makes me want to die. ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Ah Fu, I miss you too!" ”

Ah Fu took the king's box and asked, "Wow, what's in it?" It's so heavy! ”

Wang Zhen didn't bother to answer, so he simply handed him all the seven-star swords and bows and arrows and brought them into the room, and came to the counter to greet the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was drinking tea at the counter, glanced at Wang Qian, and answered lukewarmly. Wang Zhen was absent for three days, and this time it was more than a month, and the shopkeeper was very dissatisfied. However, Wang Zhen is a member of the proprietor's family, and he doesn't want to be paid, so he won't say anything.

Wang Zhen didn't change his clothes, took the cloth that wiped the table and began to greet the guests. Mr. Xu greeted Wang Zhen upstairs, and Wang Zhen also smiled and waved.

Ah Fu put his things and came out to talk to Wang Qian, Wang Zhi said: "Work first, buy some wine at night and talk slowly." ”

At this time, a very elegant guest walked in with his hands in his hands. Wang Zhen greeted him warmly and beckoned the guests to sit down.

Wang asked, "Guest officer, what do you need?" ”

The guest said, "Give me a pot of wine, and then a plate of side dishes with wine." ”

Wang Zhen responded: "Okay! Guest, please wait! ”

After a while, the wine and food were all served, Wang Zhen beckoned the guests to use it slowly, and was about to walk away, when the guests stopped Wang Zhen and asked, "Little brother, is it convenient to sit down and talk to me?" ”

Wang Zhen felt strange, why did the guest take the initiative to ask the shopkeeper to talk to him? Wang Zhen looked at the guests, and made sure that they didn't know each other, and they didn't feel malice.

Wang Zhen habitually looked at the shopkeeper first, then sat on the stool next to the guest, and asked with a smile: "As long as the guest officer does not dislike it, of course it is convenient to be down!" I don't know what the guest officer wants to talk about? ”

The guest drank a glass of wine slowly, then put a slice of corned beef into his mouth and chewed it a few times before saying, "Actually, I'm here for you." ”

Wang Zhen was surprised: "The guest officer came for me?" Do we know each other? ”

The guest smiled: "We don't know each other. It's just that what you just said to someone outside made me hear. ”

The king asked, "Do you think the guest officer is wrong with me?" ”

The guest hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! No! I once ridiculed an old thief, and the old thief replied the same as you. I thought it was a little funny, so I followed. ”
