Chapter 467 Jin She Loves Talent (38)
General Zhao's eyes were blurry and he seemed a little drunk, but the thought deep in his heart was very clear: "I am not kidding you! I have two precious daughters at home. The younger one is very wild. I am afraid you can't control her, so I won't say much.
But my eldest daughter is a very sensible person, and is definitely a good match for you. She was almost going to be made a county lady, but fortunately someone saved her from the disaster at the last minute."
As the saying goes, "Truth comes out when drunk."
Just after drinking a few glasses of wine, General Zhao couldn't hold back his true feelings and blurted out everything.
In this way, it seems that when Shen Yueying entered the "marriage reserve" that year, not only did she make some moves without knowing the truth, but the General Zhao in front of her must have also put in a lot of effort.
As the saying goes, "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run." Some parents regard their children as their favorites, holding them in their hands and taking good care of them.
Some people treat their children as cash cows and try every possible way to gain benefits from them.
The aftereffect of this Bi Guang wine was quite strong. Not long after, General Zhao's vision became increasingly blurred and his whole body began to shake.
Chu Chuan, who was standing by, knew General Zhao's alcohol tolerance very well. Seeing this, he quickly turned to his young master and said, "General Zhao is obviously drunk.
I have just sent someone to the Zhao family to report him. We will send him back tomorrow after he sobers up."
After reporting to the young master, Chu Chuan helped General Zhao to the guest room to rest.
Chu Yunfan watched the butler and several servants help General Zhao leave. He picked up the jar of wine that was still empty of Bi Guang wine, poured himself a bowl, and then drank it all in one gulp.
I often think that I have no worries, I can sing and ride a horse to the ends of the earth.
A man of seven feet tall is determined to serve his country.
Although I was born in a Duke's mansion and grew up in a wealthy town in Beijing, I also want to change the way I live my life!
The next morning, General Zhao woke up slowly with a splitting headache.
The servant of the Duke of Chu's mansion brought a bowl of hangover soup that had been prepared long ago and served it to General Zhao.
"Am I drunk at your house again?" General Zhao wiped the soup stains from the corner of his mouth and handed the bowl to the servant.
The middle-aged servant nodded and handed him the prepared towel to wipe his face. General Zhao did not hear the other party's answer, and happened to see that the man was missing three fingers on his right hand.
After carefully studying the other person for a moment, he murmured to himself: "Time is merciless after all. You have already reached middle age in the blink of an eye."
It turned out that this person was also an old acquaintance of his.
They were the group of people that General Zhao and Duke Chu brought back from the border many years ago. At that time, this man was just a teenager.
Not long after, someone invited him to have breakfast again. After sitting down, looking at the food, he had some ideas.
Chu Yunfan also walked in at this time: "Uncle Zhao, I wonder if today's breakfast is to your taste?"
General Zhao glanced at him, then glanced at everyone in the dining room.
"You guys retreat first!" This time, Chu Yunfan didn't even keep Chu Chuan.
When most of the people had left, General Zhao spoke up, "Nephew Chu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can!"
"I want to go to the border!" Chu Yunfan knelt directly in front of General Zhao, "I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, I want..."
"The Duke of Chu may not be able to leave the capital, but my son-in-law can." General Zhao said directly, "I won't hide it from you. My eldest daughter wants to serve the country, but it's not easy for a woman to join the army.
Besides, she has reached the marriageable age and needs a husband who will agree to her going to the battlefield! If you agree... "
"Miss Zhao, you are as capable as any man. Naturally, I admire you." With just one sentence, the marriage was settled.
The marriage between the Zhao and Chu families soon spread.
However, this time the emperor did not express any opinion, but instead sent a lot of gifts.
After the Shen family heard about this, Mrs. Shen finally put aside her worries and went to Tutor Shen with a dozen business cards.
They are all wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan, but they are basically older and of average character.
"What are you doing?" Master Shen frowned as he looked at the information. "None of these people are under 30 years old, and most of them are remarried. Are you sure this is the person you found for your daughter?"
"What else?" Mrs. Shen picked up a page in the booklet and turned it over. "This is a salt merchant from Jiangnan. Although he is a little older, he knows how to care for others! And he is rich!"
Upon hearing the word "rich", Master Shen's expression improved a little: "But, my daughter likes..."
"What's the point of her liking it?" Madam Shen had a subtle expression. "It's her parents' order and the matchmaker's words, how can she have her own ideas? It was easy to talk to Duke Chu before, but she didn't want to, and a good marriage was ruined.
And you really have the heart to let our daughter, who we raised like this, marry a poor scholar? Regardless of whether he has talent or not, can he support our daughter?"
