Chapter 841: Impatient Monthly Ticket)(2/2)
The two said goodbye.
Brother Ninth went to the check-in room in the front yard, and Zhang Tingzhan was looking at Fusong's homework from yesterday, discussing two strategies.
One is to control floods, and the other is how to enrich the people in Zhili due to lack of rain and poor land production.
Because the imperial court has attached great importance to water control in recent years, the examination questions on water control are not new.
Fusong's explanation in this article is not outstanding, it can only be said to be above average. However, it lists various water control methods in history, as well as the human and financial resources behind those methods, as well as the comparison of effectiveness.
Zhang Tingzhan looked at it thoughtfully.
Brother Ninth came in briskly and saw Zhang Tingzhan looking thoughtful.
He leaned over and took a look, then said, "Is Fusong's homework bad?"
Only then did Zhang Tingzhan see him, he stood up hurriedly and said: "Nine Masters
Brother Jiu sat across from him and said, "You're welcome, just sit down. From now on, you won't be an outsider anymore."
Zhang Tingzhan was surprised that the news spread too quickly.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Fu Jin was so happy that he sent someone to tell Dutong Mansion that his mother-in-law was also here...
Zhang Tingzhan said sincerely: "I am selfish and have taken a fancy to my elder brother."
Brother Ninth said: "Isn't this great? Let him go over tomorrow to deliver birthday gifts to the prince's palace and also pay his respects to the old lady."
Now that things have come to a point, Zhang Tingzhan has no choice but to excuse himself and says, "Then I will go back and report to Jiaci, and I will sweep the dust tomorrow."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes, coughed slightly, and said: "I know that our scholarly family has strict rules, but we have to decide when. Even though our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, it is not easy to marry blindly.
When the time comes, let the two children take a look, and if they fall in love, it will be perfect; if there is anything you don't like, don't force it, it won't affect our friendship."
Zhang Tingzhan couldn't laugh or cry.
Brother Ninth is only one year older than Fusong, so he is like an elder.
Also, aren't he and Brother Nine a normal superior and subordinate?
Why is there still love?
However, Zhang Tingzhan also understood the two meanings of Brother Jiu's words. Whether the marriage could be successful or not, the two children should be the main focus.
If one party doesn't like it, just give up.
This leaves some room for Fu Song.
Zhang Tingzhan is not upset either, because people are close to each other and far away.
Brother Ninth acted in an unconcealed way and kept his shortcomings outside.
In the afternoon, Zhang Tingzhan went home and reported the matter to his parents.
Even if the Zhang family revealed it first, the other party agreed to come to visit the Zhang family without saying a word. This is more sincere.
Not to mention, the elders over there also moved.
Zhang Ying nodded, looked at Mrs. Yao and said, "Just treat it as a normal meeting."
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "Although I haven't met anyone yet, since he looks similar to Jiu Fujin, I can't be wrong about it."
She has never met Jiu Fujin, but she has heard of his name. She is said to be the beauty of Prince Fujin.
Zhang Ying shook her head and said: "You shouldn't judge people by their appearance."
Zhang Tingyu happened to be back from visiting friends and paid his respects to his parents, and listened to them all.
He looked at his eldest brother and said, "Is this what eldest brother means? The elders of the Yao family wrote before and asked about my little sister Xu Zi."
The Yao family are in-laws of the Zhang family, and both Mrs. Yao and Zhang Tingyu's first wife, the Yao family, who lost her last year, are from the Yao family.
The third sister of the Zhang family also married a child of the Yao family.
Although they are not from the same house, they are all related.
Zhang Tingzhan frowned after hearing this and said: "It's very rude. This generation has already married each other, so that's fine. If we bring up the matter of marriage again, it should be for the next generation!"
Zhang Tingyu was silent.
The Yao family has declined greatly in recent years. His father-in-law and two uncles passed away one after another, and the younger generation has not yet passed the exam.
Who would have thought that after the death of his father-in-law, the great Sikou family would be left without a successor within twenty years.
Zhang Tingzhan looked at Zhang Tingyu and said unhappily: "I know you care about the friendship between the two families, but your third sister's experience is enough!"
Zhang Tingyu said hurriedly: "My brother didn't dare, because he didn't expect that his father would choose a son-in-law for his little sister in the capital."
After all, they are not from the capital, and all their brothers and sisters of this generation were married to their old relatives in Tongcheng.
It’s the next generation. Now there is a nephew and daughter-in-law coming in. She is also from an old relative’s family.
