Chapter 36 Movement of the County (2)
Chengdu Song Family.
Since the last conversation, both Song Han and Song Heng have paid attention to the war in Jishui County.
Therefore, Wenyang Mansion received the news, and the next afternoon, the Song family in Chengdu also received the letter.
The eldest son of the Song family was Song Ziye, who was responsible for collecting this news. After receiving this news, he was stunned for a while. After being reminded by the servant, he suddenly woke up.
Immediately, I did not dare to delay and quickly walked towards my father's study.
He knocked on the door a few times and told about his identity. Song Han's voice came from inside: "Come in."
After pushing the door and entering, I found that my second uncle Song Heng was also there.
Song Heng was naturally not an outsider, so Song Ziye handed the secret report directly to his father.
After opening and reading the contents, Song Han suddenly fell silent.
Song Ziye stood there, waiting for his father to ask questions.
Sure enough, after a while, Song Han handed the secret report to his second brother on the side and asked the eldest son in front of him: "Have you read the contents in it?"
"My son has seen it." Song Ziye nodded and responded.
"Tell me what you think." Song Han said lightly.
Song Ziye hesitated for a while, as if he was a little reluctant, but could only say: "From this battle, this boy is very impressive!"
"Second brother, what do you think?" Song Han looked to the side again and asked.
Song Heng was sitting there looking at the information carefully.
Soon, after reading the information, Song Heng did not look as blank as his elder brother. When he raised his head, he looked surprised.
"This Wang Shoutian actually took Taisu County? It's really unimaginable!"
"Yes, I never expected this incident to be like this before. I was still thinking that if Wang Shoutian really could win, he would be a great man. I didn't expect that this boy would be so powerful."
Song Han stroked his long beard and couldn't help but sigh: "This boy is really extraordinary!"
Seeing that Song Han was quite amazed at Wang Shoutian, Song Ziye had heard something, but hurriedly said in a low voice: "Father, do you still want to betroth You'er to him?"
Although Song Ziye admired Wang Shoutian very much, Song Ziye was young and energetic, and loved his sister very much. He had always been upset about Wang Shoutian's marriage to a fair wife.
"What do you think?" Song Han asked the eldest son in reverse.
"My father, although Wang Shoutian won a great victory this time, it was because of Liu Siming's death. Although his son Liu Chaoyi succeeded to the throne, it was difficult for him to control his arrogant generals. Therefore, he sent troops privately, and Wang Shoutian won. If Liu Siming was not dead, then what happened?"
Liu Siming is good at riding and shooting, is very smart and skillful, and is good at managing military forces.
"You are right. If Liu Siming was not dead, Wang Shoutian would not be able to defeat Taisu County. If he had won, he would not be able to eat it, so he had to withdraw."
"But there is no reality that luck represents strength, and it is one of the biggest ones. No matter what Wang Shoutian can do, at least he will conquer Taisu County now, and may occupy it for a long time, and the decline of Changding is almost an iron-like fact."
"From this perspective, the time it took for the Wang family to unify the two towns will not be long, and there is another strong town in Shu!" Song Han said with emotion.
"Brother, you have to think about this. If you really agree with him, then my face of Song is probably..." Song Heng, who was beside him, also reminded.
He could say it directly to his son, but Song Han did not answer directly to his younger brother, but only asked: "Second brother, do you still remember what you and me talked about that day?"
"What's the big brother saying?"
"It's the one who makes trouble, do you still remember this?" Song Han said lightly.
"I remember, could I find something?"
"Why do you have to deliberately investigate this matter? Do you know what happened in Wenyang Mansion during this period?" Song Han asked back.
"This... I don't know." Song Heng has been busy with business affairs recently, how could he know about other prefectures and counties?
Song Han didn't think he would know about this, but he had to explain it clearly to his second brother and eldest son.
He continued, "One of the things happened was from Wang Shoutian Futian Village. He studied in a private school, and his family was destroyed overnight. His neighbors were killed. It was Wang Zunzhi's order, and Secretary Li Xian personally led his troops there. You are afraid you don't know about this?"
"What happened?" Hearing this, the other two in the room took a breath.
"This Mr. Tian is the one who spreads the story of his wife. Now he has encountered it, and he can express Wang Zun's intention."
Song Ziye thought of something else and said angrily: "Father, what do you mean, if my Song family does not agree to this marriage, will this Wang Zunzhi attack my Song family? But my Song family is far away in Wenyang Mansion, and it is not under the jurisdiction of his Wang Zunzhi. Does he have such ability?"
"What Ziye said is true. No matter how arrogant Wang Zunzhi is, he cannot treat me, Song family, how can he do anything to me?" Song Heng said unbelievable.
Song Han smiled bitterly and said, "You have thought of something else, but what you are talking about is also a possibility."
"Of course it won't happen now. Shu is not unified and he doesn't have the ability. But what about the future? This big battle shows Wang Shoutian's qualification as the commander of the town, and as the next heir, it is a foregone conclusion. Even if I, Song, do not agree to the marriage, it will no longer shake Wang Shoutian's foundation. In this case, if Wang Shoutian gets this Shu area in the future, how should I, Song, deal with it?"
"Even if we cannot unify Shu and occupy a few more counties, it will have a huge impact on our Song family's business. If we don't negotiate with it, it would be fine. If we promised and regretted it, what will happen?"
Song Ziye opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but when he thought of Wang Shoutian's talent, he closed it again.
This son will become a military governor in the future. I am afraid that even if he may not be able to unify Shu, he may occupy two or three counties. How should the Song family handle itself at that time?
Not to mention unifying Shu, if Shu is unified, if Shu is unified, what is the difference between the Song family at that time and the Tian family today?
"What's more, this son only married a common wife. After Li Chengye, the son of the Li family, married the adopted daughter of Wang Zun, he also took several concubines? In terms of family background, which one is not higher than that of the common people? If this seems to be a commoner daughter who has no clan to rely on, even if she has a common wife, it is only a honor for one person. With my Song family, how could her son become an heir? From this perspective, it is not a bad thing." Song Han said lightly.
"Brother, between the market..."
"The rumors in the market are just guided by manpower. After a while, it will really happen. Who has the time to say this? It's just to stop the marriage between the king and Song clans, and those who are interested in it will fuel the fire." Song Han thought it out and no longer cared about it.
"But I feel wronged You'er." Song Heng sighed.
Knowing this, the elder brother had already agreed, but the eldest daughter of the Song family was on par with a commoner daughter and called her sister, but she felt a little aggrieved by her niece.
Most daughters of large clans can tolerate their husbands having concubines, but cannot tolerate their husbands marrying a fair wife. This involves more of their own interests and face issues, but has nothing to do with their feelings.
Song Han sighed and said, "It's really a pain in You'er."
He did not explain these two people clearly that his daughter explained these principles to him. If it weren't for this, how could he agree with this marriage?
If a woman is like this, what else can the husband ask for?
I just hope that Wang Shoutian can treat his daughter well and achieve something. If this is true, this clan will strongly support Wang Shoutian.
If you can have two counties, hold a firm position, and have the financial resources and talent support of the Song family, you may not be able to compete in Shu.
Since my brother had made a decision, Song Heng stopped saying anything, but just reminded him: "Brother, Wang Yan has been living in Chengdu for a week. If he is willing to get married, he will complete the appointment. We were so cold before. Now we have to become a family and have to reconcile more."
There are generally six weddings in China, so they are called "Six Lessons", namely, Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and invite a date to welcome him.
But now, the "Six Lis" have been simplified into three types of rituals, including the admission, the appointment, and the welcome.
Na Cai means choosing, that is, the man chooses his wife. If the man wants to choose a daughter from a certain family as his wife, he asks a matchmaker to communicate with the woman to test the woman's intention. This step has been completed.
The following is the key hiring, and the man will send a betrothal gift. At this time, if you accept it, you must give a engagement, which has the horoscope of a man and a woman.
Once this step is determined, even if the marriages of the two families are established, it is the most important and distinctive link in ancient Chinese marriage customs. Even the "Son of Heaven" cannot be avoided and it is difficult to regret it.
After the man's family received the marriage letter, he would give the marriage letter to his ancestors before the throne of the ancestors and report that his ancestors had already established a relative with a certain family.
Regret before is not a big deal. If you regret the marriage after the betrothal gift, it would be a great shame according to the ancient etiquette. Hate can be broken into the marrow. Even if Wang Shoutian kills the Song family in the future, public opinion will not feel cruel.
Of course, the Song family would not do this, even if they were to ordinary people, they would be disgraced.
At this time, Song Han heard this, nodded and said, "That's true!"
At the moment of such determination, Wang Shoutian, who was far away in Taisu County, was receiving an order to prepare to go to the mansion.
"Lord is worried, we will deal with it here." Xue Yuan said: "I have already made a preliminary inventory. If there are more than 1,000 households with less than 1,000 households, they can be moved to Jishui County to enrich their household registration."
Wang Shoutian laughed: "If you can get three thousand households, you will definitely be promoted."
"Why did the lord say this? Your lord promotes me to the grass. Not to mention the official title, even if there is no official title, I will devote myself to doing my best to do the job of the lord." Xue Yuan said seriously.
Wang Shoutian couldn't help but feel warm, and waved his hand and said, "It's me who was reckless... Huh?"
Yesterday, there was a thick red air on the top, hovering, but there was no instrument to accommodate it. Just now, another cloud air appeared on the top. Although it was white, it was extremely thick, almost above the white air in Jishui County.
The two clouds hang on the top and separate each other, and are not confused.
I am afraid that these qi ranks of the seventh grade may not be accommodated. For a moment, Wang Shoutian was really happy and worried, and was in the trouble of happiness.
"Lord?" Xue Yuan saw the Lord of the Lord suddenly stunned and couldn't help but wonder.
"...It's okay, I'll go to see the Grand Marshal now, and I'll leave all the things here to you." Wang Shouxin no longer hesitated and prepared to go to the mansion earlier and have to teach great things one day earlier, so as not to waste some time.
