The border will change... For a war general like Zhao Nantang, there is nothing more than resisting foreign enemies and protecting his country! Even though the general's defeat in that year may be a bit strange, once the Hu State really invades, he will put some grudges and put the war first! The nineteen states of Jingyun, the shame of Tai'an, the general's hatred... For these things, he can give up everything.

Including your own life.

So, does Zhao Xuening also include?

Lao Qi's heart trembled slightly. Thinking of the smart appearance of the young lady Bingxue, he suddenly felt a little reluctant. He couldn't bear it, and became the price of this competition... "Shening is my daughter, and of course I will consider her happiness."

Zhao Nantang sighed deeply and looked at the withered roses in the garden, "I give her a chance to choose."

"It would be great if she could fall in love with the Wang family's son."

Lao Qi couldn't help but ask: "But if the lady still has deep affection for Li Fan..." Zhao Nantang suddenly showed a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So, why did I ask Li Fan to go with me?"

"Because Li Fan is more popular after all, I hope to give him some pressure so that he can rise quickly. At least, in the court, we will support the sky for our pro-war factions... The Wang family is just an alternative."

He sighed deeply, "Li Fan is bloody and has extraordinary wisdom. The most important thing is that he can get the appreciation of Wen Baishan, and most likely he can match the emperor's appetite... Faced with the ghost tricks in the court, that kid is indeed more suitable than me!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wen Baishan was defeated by Li Fan, he would never have said that.

Upon hearing this, Lao Qi was completely stunned. He did not expect that Zhao Nantang would actually put such high expectations for Li Fan! At the same time, he also felt the cruelty hidden in this matter! As the war broke out, Zhao Nantang, as a general protecting the country, must go to the front line! At that time, in order to ensure the smooth battle, the Chinese civil servant group of the court must support Zhao Nantang's front line.

This is the lesson of General Wu Tiangu’s failure back then. Therefore, Zhao Nantang would never take risks in the civil service group anymore, because if you are not careful, you will most likely lose everything.

And the person who is heading to the front line can be Wang Zhibing, Li Fan, or even others, no matter who it is, but there must be.

And the best and fastest way is marriage.

Marriage allows the Zhao family to find trustworthy allies the civil servant group the fastest.

——This is probably not just Zhao Nantang’s idea. At that time, in order to avoid internal conflicts between civil and military affairs, I am afraid that the emperor will issue an order to do so! Therefore, even if Zhao Nantang cannot bear it, if he really has no choice, he can only sacrifice Zhao Xuening’s happiness with hatred... Before the family and country are righteous and the nation is in danger, Zhao Nantang has no choice, Zhao Xuening has no choice, Li Fan has no choice, and no one has no choice.

Therefore, he made two preparations to let Zhao Xuening go to Yangzhou City this time! On the one hand, he borrowed the Qin family and the Wang family to put pressure on Li Fan, and what he wanted was that Li Fan could grow rapidly under the suppression, humiliation, and even persecution of the two families, and it would be best to grow to the point where he could provide aid to the main war factions.

This is of course the best, and it can also take into account the happiness of her daughter... But what if Li Fan can't do it?

Could it be that the Hu Kingdom and the Qiang people will not invade?

Don’t Zhao Nantang need to go to the front line?

Won't.

So, by then, Li Fan can only be abandoned.

Zhao Xuening could only be sacrificed and could only marry the Wang family. From this perspective, it can also be said that the Wang family is a spare tire and the last choice! By that time, there was no choice.

When the wind blew, Lao Qi suddenly felt a chill, a deep chill! Did Zhao Nantang decide this when he learned from Li Fan that the Hu people and Qiang people were about to invade Daxi?

… "I know, doing this is a bit embarrassing Li Fan. Even if his talented people want to attack the moon like a comet in a short period of time, how can it be?"

Zhao Nantang sighed to the sky, and he clenched his fists, his heart as if cut.

... "Mother, my daughter is unfilial. It's been so long since I came back to see you..." In the room of the Qin Mansion and Old Lady Qin in Yangzhou City, Qin Xinxuan spoke with pain and presented a cup of tea to her mother.

The old lady Qin looked very rich and dignified, dignified and graceful, and had a certain temperament.

Old Mrs. Qin just sighed at this moment, and his old face looked kind, "Married daughter, the water splashed out of it, can't ask you to come with me every day..." She said, then looked at Zhao Xuening who was standing aside, "So, Xinxuan, Xuening, how much trouble you have to let her go your old path, don't forget the last words before your father died..." Qin Xinxuan nodded, tears couldn't help but slide down, "Dad's last words, my daughter has always remembered..." Old Mrs. Qin nodded, then looked at Zhao Xuening, and waved his hand lovingly, "Snow Ning, come here, let grandma take a good look at you."

Zhao Xuening walked over and sat next to Old Lady Qin. Old Lady Qin's thin hand held Zhao Xuening's tender jade hand and sighed: "A few years ago, I didn't agree with you being with the ruthless Li Fan. After three years of hardship, you have always learned to be good, right?

This time, I have to listen to my grandmother carefully and find a good family, a scholarly family, and it will also bring blessings to my descendants..." After hearing this, a pale flashed across Zhao Xuening's pretty face, and he bit his lower lip lightly.

"What, grandma said, do you think it's not good?"

On the wrinkled face of Mrs. Qin, the flesh instantly squeezed into a pile.

"My father now values ​​Li Fan very much. This time, he also came to Yangzhou..." She had no choice but to speak and use her father to block the arrow.

Facing the Qin family and the Wang family, perhaps the only father who could rely on was the one who defeated the two families many years ago and refused to marry... Hearing this, the kind-hearted look in the old lady Qin's eyes instantly disappeared, and she turned sharp, "What did that kid come to Yangzhou for?

!”

Next to him, Qin Shangjian spoke at the right time, "Mom, not only came to Yangzhou, but her brother-in-law... She also arranged him to come to our mansion!"

"My brother-in-law means, let us take care of that waste..." Hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin was furious in an instant, grabbed the cup next to her, threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "What is this?

What is this?

!He Zhao Nantang doesn’t even take your father’s last words seriously. Now he dares to let us take care of that waste for him?

Where is he the Qin family?

Is it his slave?

!”

She was extremely angry. Originally, she was angry when the marriage with the Wang family was suppressed by Zhao Nantang! Now, her anger was completely vented.

"Mom, that's not the case. Nan Tang has his own difficulties..." Although Qin Xinxuan is the daughter of the Qin family, she is Zhao Nantang's wife at least, so she explained at this moment.

Zhao Xuening lowered her head. She was smart, but in the face of the gap between her grandmother and her father, she could not defend or bridge it... there was only a deep sense of powerlessness.

"What did my brother-in-law think? He valued such a waste...what happened?"

Qin Shangjian asked suspiciously, but he still hadn't figured out why Li Fan could make Zhao Nantang so exhausted?

"Stern uncle, Li Fan is not a waste, don't say that to him!"

Zhao Xuening finally couldn't help it, bit her lip, and she had always been obedient. At this moment, she mustered up the courage, "Li Fan is the author of "Encouraging Learning". The emperor gave her a pen and was famous all over Yangzhou."

A trace of pride on her face made Qin Shangjian sneer and sarcastically say, "Hehe, the emperor gives me a pen?

What's that?

The Wang family is a big family in the court. Is there still less gift from the emperor?

Can a mere Li Fan catch the emperor's eyes?

What can a mere pen represent?” The emperor gave the pen?

For ordinary people, that is a huge honor, but for the forces in the Zhao Mansion and Wang Family, that is just ordinary.

After all, whether it is the Wang family, who has the Minister of Rites, or the Zhao family, who has established authority as the general of the country, they have received numerous rewards from the emperor... In front of them, Li Fan, a young man without power and no background, is grassroots, even if he has some talent, what is it?

They have the capital to look down on Li Fan! "Mom, don't worry, I'll drive Li Fan out now..." Qin Shangjian spoke to the old lady Qin.

"Forget it!"

Old Mrs. Qin shouted, "No matter what intention he asked Li Fan to come, don't stop us anymore and realize your father's last words. Humph! What kind of storm can a mere little Li Fan bring?"

"Since he wants to stay in the mansion, let him stay in the mansion. The more he does this, the less he can't get out of our palms!"

Qin Shangjian nodded. He understood the old lady's intention. Although Li Fan was annoying in the mansion, he was better at controlling and dealing with it.

"I'm tired, arrange your sister and niece well. As for the waste, you can do it!"

Old Lady Qin continued to speak, obviously very impatient. Qin Shangjian hurriedly asked his servants to serve Old Lady Qin to rest, and then personally arranged a room for Qin Xinxuan and his daughter, and arranged the servants in the mansion, which was very thoughtful and meticulous.

After Qin Xinxuan and his daughter were arranged, Qin Shangjian sat down, but he was thinking.

"Father," at this moment, a young man walked in. The young man was wearing a brocade dress and was also very rich and noble, with a precious jade pendant hanging on his waist.

"I heard that Cousin and the others are here?"

The young man spoke in surprise.

He is Qin Shangjian's son, Zhao Xuening's cousin, Qin Congfeng.

Qin Shangran, the eldest son of the Qin family, has Qin Congyun and Qin Congyue two sons. Just like his father Qin Shangran, he was in an official career and studied hard for fame. The eldest son Qin Congyun was already a scholar, and his second son Qin Congyue was a scholar who took the Qiubo exam this time.

Qin Shangjian, the second son of the Qin family, had only Qin Congfeng, the only son. The Qin family has always been a member of the official position and the other son of the business. In this third generation, this is still the case. Qin Congfeng is young, but he has already followed his father to learn industry, etc., and is quite capable.

"Yes."

Qin Shangjian nodded.

"This is great. This time, we have to make good matches. We must let Xue Ning's cousin marry Wang Tianteng. At that time, we can use the power of the Wang family to start a salt and iron business!"

Qin Congfeng spoke happily! In addition to having a minister of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, the Wang family is also a real family in Yangzhou. Wang Zhibing's younger brother Wang Zhirong is the chief of the Salt and Iron Department of Zhili Prefecture in Yangzhou, and a truly fat and fat yamen! The Qin family has been coveting this industry for a long time! "Hmph, what does your uncle think? It's not necessarily true! This time, he asked Li Fan's abandoned son-in-law to follow our family. This kid is a disaster if he keeps it!"

Qin Shangjian spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Congfeng's eyes flashed with anger, "That waste, dare you come to our house?"

"Father, wait for me to kill him!"

Qin Congfeng opened his mouth coldly.

"Don't do it randomly, it's too outrageous. Your uncle's face is not good-looking!"

Qin Shangshu's deep voice.

"Don't worry, my father, I will make careful arrangements. I have the means to play with him in my palms!"

Qin Congfeng opened his mouth coldly.

Qin Shangjian frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything after all! Not long after, Li Fan looked at a narrow and simple room in front of him and sneered.

"I heard that a little white-faced person came to our mansion?"

At this moment, a thick and horizontal sound suddenly sounded outside the door.
Chapter completed!
