I'm afraid Shen Tang himself didn't expect how muddy the muddy waters in the northwest of the mainland would be, so much so that they would kick off a change that would shake up the entire continent! At that time, the people were still sleeping, and the crisis was like rotting flesh with maggots. The breath of death spread quietly.

Zhai Huan couldn't sleep for half the night.

Zhai Le came over and vaguely heard something he muttered: "Zi Wei comes out of the northwest to protect the unification of the world... It's really a big deal."

Zhai Le held the dry food in his mouth: "Brother, what's causing such a big fuss?"

Zhai Huan said: "Last night's vision!"

Zhai Le: "That dragon?"

Zhai Huan looked solemn: "Well, whether it is for the national seal or to become the rumored 'Purple Star', those ambitious forces, big and small, will gather here, and a melee is inevitable."

This is what bothers him the most.

Zhai Le muttered: "Oh, it's really the same everywhere."

Zhai Huan smiled bitterly and said nothing.

His eyes fell in the direction of Xiaocheng and he pursed his lips slightly.

The giant dragon shadow that appeared last night was obviously not the national seal of the Xin State. If the Xin State still had such a strong national destiny, how could Zheng Qiao not encounter decent resistance along the way? The Xin State would not have destroyed the country so quickly. Thinking At this point, Zhai Huan's heart skipped a beat in his chest.

He asked his cousin: "If you are done here, why don't you go back?"

Zhai Le said: "Yeah, okay."

The bad debts in my hometown are not much better than here in the northwest.

Although he is very free to travel abroad, and there are not so many restrictions, and almost no one cares about him except his cousin, but after wandering for a long time, he still feels that his hometown is better - maybe "it" is not good in the eyes of outsiders, but because of this, He just wanted to go back.

Do your best and do something.

The smile on Zhai Le's lips didn't last long before he heard his cousin talk about it again: "Do you still remember the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family in Xunnan?"

"Ah? The... girl from the Zhao family in Xunnan? I have a vague impression. I just remember that she was so delicate and weak that a gust of wind could blow her away." Zhai Le hadn't realized it yet. I held my chin and thought about it for a long time, with a grimace on my face. I only remembered that the girl loved to cry very much, and she also liked to complain, "...she also caused me to be scolded by my father and mother..."

Zhai Le remembers that it happened when he was very young.

The elders went to the banquet to chat with others, and the children of similar age played together. Zhai Le is the younger among the children of his generation, but he can play and has a lively and active personality. Even children older than him like to play with him. Play with him.

He looks cute and has a good temper, who wouldn't like him?

Zhai Le has always been so confident until he met the Sanniang of the Zhao family in Xunnan. She liked to act like an adult at a young age, saying that this is not okay and that is not okay. Zhai Le saw that she was born with a cute face, and heard the servant girl say that she was He had been sick since he was a child and had never been out of the hospital a few times. He sympathized with her, so he picked several flowers that he thought were the most beautiful, hoping to make her smile...

result--

Not only did Sanniang Zhao not laugh, she also cried.

She cried so hard that she almost pouted, and even alarmed all the elders. Just when Zhai Le was feeling hesitant and at a loss, he was severely beaten by his father who came over, and was imprisoned for three months when he returned home! After that! Every time I meet her, I will be taught a lesson when I go back.

When Zhai Le inquired about it, he found out that the third wife of the Zhao family had complained to her elders, saying that he was not following the rules here and that he was not in line with etiquette. He was really angry! But that person was too weak, and any loud noise would scare her into convulsions, so Zhai Le couldn't avoid it. , I can’t wait to stick to the wall.

As he got older, men and women began to avoid taboos. In addition, his cultivation was on the right track and he rarely attended those occasions. He rarely heard from the Zhao family's Sanniang. Why did his cousin mention that girl so suddenly? He was confused. Understanding, Zhai Huan smiled bitterly.

"This is your impression of others?"

Zhai Le curled his lips: "Otherwise, what impression would there be?"

Zhai Huan: "Don't you know she has always liked you?"

Zhai Le suddenly understood something, and his expression became distorted and unnatural for a moment. He twisted his sleeves with his fingers and said, "What do you mean she likes it? I just remember how hard dad beat me...Brother, don't you want to be messy?" Yuanyangpu? No, no, this won’t work.”

Furthermore, the reputation of an unmarried woman is very important.

How could such outrageous rumors spread?

His head shook like a rattle.

Zhai Huan said with a smile: "This is not because of brother. The Xunnan Zhao family personally came to the door to mention it. How can this be false? People will not joke about the reputation of women in the clan. It's just that my uncle and aunt thought that you were still young, so they didn't do it at the time. Not agreed yet."

My aunt also asked Zhai Huan to help with the insinuation.

As a cousin, how could Zhai Huan know what kind of girls his cousin likes? Zhao from Xunnan still refused to give up after being politely rejected. Out of love for her legitimate daughter, she privately said that as long as Zhai Le was not engaged, the marriage would be fine. There is room for peace.

Zhai Le's head got big after hearing this.

He said: "If a man has not made any achievements, how can he support his family?"

After saying that, he paused again.

"Besides, it's really not a good match."

Zhai Huan said: "What's wrong with a man's talent and his beauty?"

Zhai Le didn't hide anything: "Don't you want to embarrass my unmarried sister-in-law? The Zhao family's third wife is indeed very good. Her family background, talent and accomplishments make me think she's on a high level."

What he said was not self-deprecation, but the truth.

The Zhai Le branch belongs to the second wife of the Zhai family.

His father was born prematurely in August and had been weak since he was a child. The long delay in medical treatment was a huge expense. Even though he was cared for when the family was separated, he still received more family property than originally planned with the title of "clear stream celebrity". But there is also pressure to make ends meet.

In order to help his brother, the eldest uncle also took Zhai Le over, and the food and clothing expenses were similar to those of his cousin Zhai Huan.

Elders treat everyone equally, and Zhai Le cannot ignore good and evil.

Sanniang Zhao's family background is too good, but that's not good.

It's just right with my cousin.

But my cousin had an engagement when he was young, and his future cousin-in-law was also from a noble family. But something unexpected happened, something happened to the future cousin-in-law's family, the lintel fell, and she was disfigured due to an accident. The marriage should have been canceled because of this. But my cousin didn't want to.

Canceling the engagement at this time would, on the one hand, suggest that the poor love the rich and be lustful, and on the other hand, it would force the woman to go to a dead end. They were destined to be together, how could they be ruined by a slight setback? The wife of the Zhai clan Only she can sit in this position.

Zhai Huan personally visited the house to express his firm attitude towards the marriage. It didn't matter what the woman's family background or appearance was.

If Zhai Le is engaged to the third wife of the Zhao family, it will make things difficult for her future cousin-in-law. After all, in an environment where family status is important, the family background of the clan wife is not as good as that of the second wife, which will inevitably lead to rumors. With Zhai Le, that person Zhao’s Sanniang’s understanding...

He was really afraid that Sanniang Zhao would say to his future cousin-in-law, "You can't do this, it's against etiquette", so it was best to refuse.

Who knows——

Zhai Huan said: "Brother Kewei hopes you will accept it."

Zhai Le: "What should I do if my sister-in-law has not yet passed the wedding?"

Doesn't this embarrass her?

Zhai Le has ideas about his own marriage and a preferred type, but when it comes to real marriage discussions, personal preferences are not as important as other conditions. In any case, blind marriages are blind marriages. As long as the newlyweds work hard, the results will be very different.

.

On the contrary, if you don't manage well after marriage, no matter how good you are with each other before marriage, you will end up in a mess. This is Zhai Le's "marriage and love experience" derived from a pile of popular scripts.

Zhai Huan said with a smile: "What you are worried about will not happen."

His fiancée is not as easy to bully as Zhai Le thought. Besides, Zhao's Sanniang has never been known to be domineering and arrogant in so many years - except for staring at Zhai Le and snitching when she was a child, but this is not surprising.

Woman, who made Zhai Le really deserve to be beaten? He harmed the flowers, fish and trees that others worked so hard to raise. Zhai Le was not unjust at all when he was beaten.

Zhai Le held up her chin: "But - the Xunnan Zhao family came to propose marriage several years ago, right? Maybe she has already discussed the marriage?"

Zhai Huan shook his head again: "No."

Zhai Le held his cheek and muttered in a low voice: "If this is the case... it's not impossible... At worst, we can go back and find out what's interesting about 'talking about poetry and Taoism, Thrush Girl', and maybe we can talk about it..."

He didn't ask why his cousin suddenly talked about his marriage, nor why he recommended Zhao's Sanniang. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask, but he had the answer in his heart. If his cousin hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known who Zhao was.

Shi Sanniang actually likes me...

Zhai Le couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought she hated him.

You have to know that at his age, even if he doesn't take the initiative to find out, his peers will occasionally talk about the situation of unmarried women of various ages. After all, there is only such a wide range of marriage partners to choose from, so it doesn't hurt to do some homework in advance.

Occasionally, he would listen to what Mrs. Zhao was doing.

The reputation is naturally good.

A girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families.

It's just that she's not keen on going out, and rarely agrees to invitations from other girls of her age. Nine times out of ten, she refuses on the grounds of recuperation.

Zhai Huan was startled for a moment, and then emphasized very seriously: "But, Ah Le, if you already have a candidate you like, then tell your brother, don't worry about the Zhao family in Xunnan. Getting married is not a feud between two families. It won't work out."

It’s also because we don’t have enough fate…”

He wanted to obtain the support and cooperation of the Xunnan Zhao family through his cousin, but this was not the only way. If he really wanted to join forces through marriage, Zhai Huan would be more suitable than Zhai Le, and he would not terminate the contract when the woman proposed

Determined to fulfill the engagement.

He is more than just a cousin of Zhai Le.

He is not even the only son in the family, he also has brothers.

But there was only one Zhai Le who fell in love with him, played together since childhood, and supported each other. If Zhai Le meant something, he would not use Zhai Le's marriage as a bargaining chip. Zhai Le is not only his younger brother, but also his brother to some extent.

He can be regarded as his raised "son".

_(:3　∠?)_

Zhai Le was confused by his question.
