Chapter 385 385: Another year [two in one]


    Welcome to the people of Zhao clan in Xunnan?


    Zhai Huan naturally understood the meaning behind this statement.


    He said, "I thought about letting you make a good marriage with the third lady of Zhao before. She admired you, and your temperament would not let you down, which is a win-win situation. But after experiencing Ajing''s incident, I realized that some things cannot be forced... Compared to the help of Zhao from Xunnan, Ale, I hope you can get what you want."


    "Life is short, don''t leave any regrets."


    Zhai Le frowned and thoughtful.


    The answer was not given immediately.


    But now there are indeed strong allies.


    The former uncle of the king handed over military power, but his soldiers had all the places, factions and positions, which could be called a mixture of fish and dragons. Previously, relying on the identity of the king''s uncle and a group of close friends, they could barely control them.


    Now that the holder of the National Seal has changed, it is equivalent to breaking the balance and suppressing the core of these soldiers.


    They were all ready to move and were not very cooperative.


    If you are not careful, you may collude to riot and counterattack Brother... Although it is unlikely that success will be successful, it will also further confusing the situation. This is not what Zhai Le wants to see.


    In the past few days, a group of their own confidants have been installed and promoted. Although the position is not obvious, they can obtain first-hand information when there is any disturbance. He also used the name of the former king''s uncle to disrupt the original organization so that they could not join forces.


    But this is not a long-term solution, and it is still not enough.


    The current peace is just an illusion after all.


    It is easy to be broken by external forces or internal causes.


    Brother Ah also has to work hard to argue with the old foxes. What these old foxes care most about is not who the king is or what his surname is, but more about their own interests. They all want to take advantage of Zhai Huan''s unstable power to chew off a piece of flesh and blood.


    Zhai Le saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.


    "Ale, do you really want to marry the third lady of Zhao?"


    Zhai Le did not think much about it.


    His eyes firmly said, "Yes, I think."


    Although it is not a result of liking but a pros and cons after weighing, a two-way relationship may not be perfect, and a one-way relationship may not be regrettable. Zhai Le paused and said, "Or... ask her what she means first? If you don''t want to..."


    He said, "Then please find another one, brother."


    Zhai Huan silently and patted his cousin''s shoulder.


    Sighing lightly: "Okay."


    Before Zhai Le left, he did not forget to remind Zhai Huan to use his literati as little as possible. Although my brother did not say how much burden the literati would have on him after his perfection, judging from the great success of his first appearance, the cost is not small.


    Zhai Huan said with a funny look: "Well, there will be a decent position."


    In Zhai Huan''s opinion, the effect of this literati can only be described as "chicken ribs". It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.


    If you are too dependent, you will not know how to die.


    Indeed, it can put a real memory for people, and it is difficult for the parties to avoid even if they know there is a problem. If they think that the way of literati is invincible, that would be too naive, because the real confrontation is still outside the way of literati.


    Take the former king''s uncle as an example.


    If the false identity Zhai Huan set for herself was not the "true king left behind", but the confidant/child of the former king''s uncle, could he still persuade the other party to force the palace to use troops?


    It is impossible, because the benefits brought by the latter''s identity are far greater than those of the former, and it is not worth the other party''s risk of killing the nine clans to gain wealth and glory... Rather than saying that the way of a scholar made the other party rebelled and was used by Zhai Huan, it is better to say that the blueprint benefits given by Zhai Huan touched the greed that could not be filled in the depths of his heart, and then hit it off...


    To give another example, if Zhai Huan was dealing with Qi Shan and others, simulated his identity as a relative and urged Qi Shan to kill Shen Tang, then what he was waiting for was probably not Qi Shan''s sincere cooperation, but the other party''s butcher''s knife.


    The real difficulty of this literati''s way is that it requires precisely to understand the opponent''s human weaknesses - those who value family should start from their family; those who value material things should start from their interests; those who value false reputation should start from their reputation...


    There is another type of people who are the most special.


    That is to worship the original heart of morality on the altar. Such people often cannot pour oil into it, which is extremely difficult...


    The situation in Shen State changes.


    Even the third lady of Zhao''s family who was in the boudoir was affected.


    I heard that the boy she liked for many years was about to form an alliance with Shuji. I was depressed for several days, and my body, which was already a little bit of meat, became clearer and clearer. The parents, brothers and sisters persuaded her again and again, and the younger brother deliberately made trouble to make her laugh.


    Zhao Sanniang was never really happy.


    She is not unaware that the problem is serious.


    The Shuji Daming is also famous in the boudoir circle. Whoever she likes, whether the other party is married, unmarried or engaged, must use various means to force her to grab it.


    She can covet a married man, but she does not allow others to think of her man, and be careful to bring about a murder.


    If Shuji hadn''t been too cruel and incorruptible, had her hands full of innocent people, and had broken up other people''s marriages, which made people angry and resentful... Zhao Sanniang vaguely envious of the other party - it would be rare for women to live so willful.


    Of course, I just envy the other party''s freedom rather than the other party''s behavior. But then I thought that Shuji''s freedom was also given to her by her brother as the king''s brother. Because of her bloodline rather than Shuji herself, I felt a little flawed...


    Back to the topic.


    Once Zhai Le and Shu Ji get married, the petty Shu Ji knows that she has proposed to Zhai Le, even if she has family protection, she will be troubled and cause trouble for her family.


    Thinking of these, Zhao Sanniang was depressed again.


    People who have liked each other for many years are not allowed to let go. The taste is much bitterer than the medicine brought by the maid.


    She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp. On the day of Zhai Le''s wedding, she tossed and turned until late at night before she fell asleep tiredly.


    It was only after the sun was three o''clock, and I woke up.


    The news that followed made her confused again and again.


    The marriage between Zhai Le and Shu Ji was cold, Shu Ji died, the king died, it was all done by Zhai Huan...


    When her mother told her, she said enviously: [This Zhai Yuewen is affectionate and righteous. 】


    A discerning person can see that even though Zhai Huan has ambitions, he has not expanded to the point of overthrowing the royal court. He has more of the idea of ??assisting the royal court and rectifying the chaos. But Shuji killed Zhai Huan''s fiancée, and Zhai Huan took the lead.


    As soon as he rushes to the crown, he becomes a beauty.


    Isn’t this more romantic and charming than a market-based vocabulary?


    Zhao Sanniang thought casually, if Zhai Le’s marriage failed, does it mean that she still has a chance?


    Her mother could see her thoughts at a glance.


    Telled: [Don’t do stupid things. 】


    Zhao Sanniang said: [The daughter just thinks so...]


    As a woman in the boudoir, begging her parents to take the initiative to go to Zhai to talk to her about marriage was the most extraordinary thing she did in her life. How can I have the courage to do it again? Zhai is in a whirlpool right now, and Zhai Le probably has no intention of talking about marriage.


    Her mother smiled and said, “You can wait with peace of mind.” 】


    Zhao Sanniang: [Wait? 】


    [When Zhai came to propose marriage, your father told Wei Niang that Zhai Yuewen killed the monarch in front of the palace. He killed him neatly and happily at that time, but he also had to solve the mess he left behind. The Zhai family lacked manpower and could not suppress the situation, so they naturally had to seek allies. What allies are more reassuring than in-laws? Don’t talk about Zhai Le, you can choose any other unmarried men of Zhai’s family. 】


    Zhao Sanniang''s heart moved.


    A little disgusted, he had the intention of taking advantage of the situation, but he also had some vague expectations - Zhai Lezhen would come to propose marriage?


    She stayed in her yard to help with flowers and plants, and occasionally fed the fish in the pond, but time passed slowly.


    A few days later, Zhai Le came to the door. But it wasn''t about asking her parents to propose marriage.


    But see her.


    Zhao Sanniang was nervous and nervous.


    Through a screen, she could vaguely see the figure opposite the screen. She was a boy who had grown into an adult.


    Everyone who serves around them is waiting outside the door.


    Zhai Le took a deep breath in secret to relieve his inexplicable tension.


    "Madam Zhao San..." Zhai Le couldn''t call the other party''s nickname and asked a little hesitantly, "I heard... do you like me?"


    Zhao Sanniang: “…”


    The face was red and white, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.


    But he still endured the embarrassment and said, "Yeah."


    Although I knew the answer, it was quite novel to hear the other party admit it personally. Zhai Leguang remembered the deep memory of offending the other party when he was a child and being beaten up by his father. He never thought that the other party would like him, so how could he have thought of this?


    "Then I asked to marry you, are you willing?"


    Zhao Sanniang''s face turned pale, only red left.


    It is so red that it can drip blood.


    "Marriage matters... should be decided by parents..."


    Zhai Le was puzzled: “…Ah?”


    Haven’t you all been to the door to talk about kissing? Zhao Sanniang’s parents should have agreed, why should they rethink?


    Thinking again, although Shuji and I are not real couples, they have a full ceremony, and Zhao really dislikes the second marriage.


    Zhai Le scratched his face. The second-married widower who had his "wife" died that day didn''t sound like a good match.


    Seeing that Zhai Le had not responded for a long time, Zhao Sanniang was upset. She didn''t know what was wrong, so she listened: "The title of a second-marriage widower is really not nice... Alas, you can disturb me..."


    After saying that, Zhao Sanniang was stunned and said goodbye, she stood up and walked to the door and was stopped by the beautiful girl who was jogging out quickly. The other party said annoyedly, "Zhai Xiaofang, why are you leaving?"


    Zhai Le: “…”


    The close-fitting maid guarding outside the house poked her head out when she heard the movement, and Zhao Sanniang hid behind the screen.


    "Who dislikes you?"


    Zhai Le: “…”


    It turns out that I was not disgusted, I breathed a sigh of relief.


    But there are some truths that need to be said.


    Zhai Le wanted to marry Zhao Sanniang, but his biggest purpose was to rely on the power of Zhao. However, after marriage, he would definitely not let Zhao Sanniang down, nor would he betrayal. He would kick his original wife with such a loner and righteous act as soon as he gained power. He was willing to swear with courage.


    Zhao Sanniang was angry and funny after hearing this.


    What a lump of wood!


    Pick her favorite flowers when she was young and steal her favorite fish because she showed off her flaunts and smashed the tree she planted on her birthday... She is more capable when she grows up, and she also says this kind of thing casually.


    The trouble made her forced her to marry him like Shuji.


    How rare it makes her miss Zhai Xiaofang!


    Zhao Sanniang didn''t reply, and after saying a few words, she refused and felt unhappy and went back to the house to sulk.


    She was even more upset when she got angry.


    Well, she is very rare.


    Her age would have been arguing about marrying her if it weren''t for Zhai Xiaofang. She saw all the days after the wedding with handkerchiefs around her, and she lived a loving life. Something better is just a harmonious face, bad mood, and a depressed mood.


    Instead of marrying someone you don’t like and getting angry, it’s better to marry someone you like, as life won’t be too difficult. If you really don’t have a good life, you can only blame yourself for your poor vision. Besides, she got Zhai Xiaofang''s people first, and she was worried that she would not be able to catch his heart?


    Gritting her teeth, she agreed to this marriage.


    The two teenage girls thought that the marriage was dominated by them, but in fact they were still their parents.


    Zhai Huan is in a hurry to help, isn’t Zhao’s side not interested in the interests? Zhai Le has never been the best marriage candidate. If Zhai Huan had not protected the fiancée for many years and remained firm, Zhao would rather marry his daughter to Zhai Huan.


    He is the real master of Zhai.


    In contrast, Zhai Le''s conditions are much different.


    This plan cannot be known to outsiders, especially Zhai Huan - because Zhai Huan insists on filial piety for his wife for a year, and I don’t know what the situation has become this year. If Zhao wants to be reused with confidence, he needs a marriage that satisfies him.


    It happened that the two children were willing, so it was better.


    A marriage that is attracted to each other because of interests is covered with the illusion of love between children, which can be called a marriage made by heaven. With the Zhao clan entering the market, the old foxes who were ready to move were completely at peace.


    Zhai and Zhao family, there are not many outstanding literary scholars in the two families, but there are many outstanding martial artists.


    Their old bones don''t want to try how hard the two fists are. Even the rebellions of various factions in the military camp that could not be suppressed were **** suppressed, blood flowing into a river and corpses piled up like mountains.


    Next, we will deal with the powerful warlords who took advantage of this period of time to make trouble!


    The changes in Shen State, located in the southeast, naturally cannot be spread to Shen Tang in the northwest of the mainland. Unlike Zhai Huan and Zhai Le racking her brains to fight against the enemy, she cannot have a peaceful New Year. She has had a happy New Year.


    Heyin''s fine pigs are specialized in slaughtering dogs. A fine pig is sold at a price of five ordinary pigs. It is still a constant stream of time. Heyin''s fine pigs are out of stock and are selling well, and Heyin''s neighbors are selling well.


    The common people who raise pigs also made a fortune.


    Some common people even slaughtered a fat pig and sent the best meat to the official office as a New Year gift, begging Shen Tang to accept it. If it weren’t for Mr. Shen, how could they be today? Shen Tang was not polite, so he accepted the gift of the next year and took the opportunity to publicize the knowledge of scientifically regulating pig farming, in order to make this idea deeply rooted in people''s hearts!


    In the official office, she was counting the small money happily.


    Yes, she is rich!


    "Oh, I worked hard for one or two years, and I saw my savings..." A bag of broken silver and dozens of copper coins. Shen Tang put them back into his wallet one by one and put them in his arms.


    Although the incident of refugees and bandits shrouded He Yin in a panic cloud, the common people believed in their Mr. Shen.


    As the Chinese New Year approaches, the lively atmosphere has only increased and there are many strangers speaking with foreign accents in Fugu City.


    Needless to say, these are all from the Three Lands of the South.


    Come and join in the fun.


    With the opening ceremony of the second Fugucheng New Year Games, the light brought by fireworks in the sky reflects everyone''s face. Shen Tang and the others were better than last year, and there was still a lot of literary talent after the opening ceremony - well, after all, there was an extra Jiang Sheng.


    “Healthy New Year!”


    "Lord, good health in the New Year!"


    There are so many tourists on the road.


    More people than last year and more lively and festive.


    "Everyone is having fun, don''t be restrained, haha-"


    Shen Tang warmly greets him when he meets an acquaintance, and treats everyone equally regardless of age or young.


    On the way, I met Jiang Sheng, who saw everything novel, and she took out a copper coin strung with a red rope from her arms.


    "Come on, come on yours first!"


    Jiang Sheng: “…”


    A good lord should be Master Duanshui!
