Chapter 81: Recruiting a son-in-law

After the two met the ceremony, Zhu Chenggong and Dong Yougu, who walked to him, looked at the two with a smile, and the former nodded even more, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Waiting for Su Yan to sit down again, Zhu Chenggong said: "Anguo, my fifth sister is twenty-eight years old this year, she is naturally beautiful, smart and virtuous, now my father is trapped in Yidu, the eldest brother is like a father, I want to be a matchmaker for her in person, what do you think?" ”

Su Yan was shocked when he heard this, he opened his mouth, his brain shut down, and he didn't know what to say, This is the country surnamed Ye himself as a matchmaker for him! If he wasn't sure he was very awake right now, he would have subconsciously thought that he was still dreaming.

Zheng Chagu on the side heard this, her face also turned red, although she inherited part of her father's character, but after all, she was still the youngest daughter who was bound by the times, so when she heard her eldest brother propose marriage to her, she couldn't help but feel shy.

"Anguo?"

Seeing that Su Yan didn't answer for a long time, Zhu Chenggong thought that he was unwilling, frowned slightly, and called his words softly, although Zheng Chagu lowered her head, she didn't hear Su Yan's voice, and her heart couldn't help but rise, if this was rejected and spread out, wouldn't she become a laughing stock for outsiders?

Su Yan swallowed his saliva, quickly sorted out the mess in his mind, and being able to marry the national surname can bring great help to him, who is still a nobody.

First, he has a close ally, and although the brother-in-law is not closer than the son-in-law, the alliance formed by this is quite reliable.

Second, Zhu Chenggong's powerful water warfare ability can also help him in the future, in the future, Su Yan will definitely develop to the South Seas, if he can use Zhu Chenggong for his own use through marriage, then he will not be a five-star naval god general for nothing.

Third, backed by the surname of the country, those scholars who disdain him will also change their opinions about him, at least if they open a government test or something in the future, there will be no thing that no one cares about.

Fourth......

Wait a minute.

Su Yan finally reacted to what Zhu Chenggong said about his family just now, it seems that he had the idea of recruiting himself as a brother-in-law from the beginning, and he has a certain degree of certainty, otherwise how could he use this obviously untimely word as soon as he came up?

After figuring out everything, Su Yan pursed his lips, and when Zheng Chagu was worried in his heart, he stood up, nodded and said solemnly: "The surname of the country values the younger generation so much, how can the younger generation live up to the surname of the country, the younger generation is willing to marry Wu Niang as his wife, and he is full of affection for each other, and he raises his eyebrows." ”

With that, he bowed heavily.

Zheng Chagu on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he finally agreed, and she couldn't help but complain a little that Su Yan had to worry about it for so long.

Seeing Su Yan behaving like this, Zhu Chenggong and Dong Yougu both had smiles on their faces, the couple looked at each other, the former nodded, and said: "This is very good, but the number of courtesies that should be there is indispensable, and when An Guo returns to Quanzhou, he still has to send a matchmaker to the door." ”

"The younger generation knows." Su Yan replied.

"Why do you still call yourself a junior?" Zhu Chenggong frowned slightly, pretended to be displeased, and said, "It's time to change your words, and don't call my country's surname again, it looks rusty." ”

Su Yan also reacted, the two families are going to become a family, and he also calls himself a junior, so it's not appropriate to call the other party's surname Ye, but what should it be called......

Seeing that Su Yan was about to scratch his ears and cheeks in a hurry, Dong Yougu relieved him at this time, and said with a smile: "An Guo, although my two families have not yet become married, my family does not pay attention to these, you can call Brother Fusong like Wu Niang." ”

Hearing this, Su Yan glanced at Dong Yougu gratefully, bowed again, and said, "The kid greets the eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

Zhu Chenggong smiled and nodded, and agreed with his wife.

Zheng Chagu cautiously raised her head and looked at Su Yan at this time, wanting to see her future husband again, but when she raised her head to look at Su Yan, she saw the latter looking at her with a smile, Zheng Chagu glared at him, and quickly lowered her head.

Su Yan saw her like this, he only felt interesting, this kind of well-behaved and a little bit of temperament was his favorite, and he couldn't stand that his wife was very well-behaved and unassertive, and there was no interest in married life.

The housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion walked in from outside the door at this time and reported to Zhu Chenggong that the banquet was ready, and the latter beckoned Su Yan to go to the dining room together.

Although the atmosphere of the Zheng family is not so pedantic, the rule that women cannot serve the table still exists, so only Zhu Chenggong and Su Yan went to the dining room, and when they arrived at the dining room, Zhu Chenggong ordered someone to invite his uncle Zheng Hongkui and his fifth brother Zheng Xi.

Zheng Hongkui, 37 years old, his skin is dark and rough, his appearance is rough, and the beard on his face is very dense, giving people the feeling of being a fierce general at first glance, but his actual record and the impression are completely opposite.

For example, in the second year of Longwu, Zheng Hongkui, who was ordered by Emperor Longwu to go on a northern expedition, fled without a fight after learning that King Lu's army was defeated and retreated, and surrendered Xianxia Pass, which was a key pass to Fujian, to the Qing army, so that the Qing army drove straight into northern Fujian and easily occupied northern Fujian.

Another example is the battle of Xiamen that happened next year in history, he fled in fear of the enemy, surrendered Xiamen Island to the Qing army, and was later threatened by the Qing army, and watched Ma Dequan, who was blocked by him on Xiamen Island, lead the Qing army to flee back to the mainland by boat, and after Zhu Chenggong got the bad news and rushed back to Xiamen Island, he was furious and removed Zheng Hongkui from his position and let him go back to retire.

It can be seen from this that Zheng Hongkui's ability is really not good, he is completely a pig teammate, and the Qing army in this world line has no chance to sneak attack Xiamen Island again, and Zheng Hongkui will not be dismissed because of this, I don't know how he will pit this unlucky country surnamed Ye in the future.

Zheng Zheng needs no introduction, he took over as acting general after Zhu Chenggong's death, but because of this, he started a civil war with Zheng Jing, and surrendered to the Qing court after the defeat.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Chenggong notified the other two Zheng family members of the decision to marry Su Yan, both of whom were shocked, although Zheng Xi was only ten years old this year, but he had experienced the collapse of the country and the death of the family, and his parents had accidents, his mind was already more mature than ordinary people, so after the shock, he was keenly aware of the purpose of Zhu Chenggong's marriage with Su Yan.

Therefore, he was the first to react, raised the cup with tea in his hand, stood up, and said to Su Yan: "Kid Zheng Zheng, meet the fifth brother-in-law here, and before the kid is ready, he will replace the wine with tea." ”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, raised his glass and saluted back, and remembered this precocious young man in his heart, but Zheng Xi did not have too many records in history, except for his succession as the acting general, his defeat in the civil war between the two Zhengs, and the surrender of the Kangxi Dynasty, there was no extra pen and ink.

Therefore, Su Yan didn't know what the ability and conduct of this Zheng Zheng were like, otherwise he would have wanted to carry this young man in the face of this fifth brother-in-law.

Zheng Hongkui's attitude towards Su Yan was neither salty nor light, the four of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the three adults were drunk, and when they saw that it was getting late, they were supported by the servants and dispersed.
