Chapter 30: Looking for a new sister-in-law to sue you
In the main hall of Zhang Mansion's inner courtyard, after hearing his mother's words, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "Oh, we dare not miss my younger sister's wedding date. My mother, you and my aunt are so worried. Come and help us get married soon!"
"Whose wedding date? Brother stinky wants to marry me out again, so as to dominate the Zhang family. The heroine's fist will not agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure entered the main hall with a cold "君!"
I saw a pretty girl with hair in her hands, a tripping strap on her head, a small gauze-shaped jacket, a pair of moon-white autumn trousers, white flower-collared pants, and high-soled little red shoes.
She ran straight to Zhang Cheng and stretched out her fist and thrust out vigorously. Zhang Cheng was startled by her and jumped up quickly, shouting: "Help, my sister is murdering her biological brother... Help..."
Seeing that Zhang Cheng was unable to hit, her sister Zhang Lifang was so angry that she stamped her feet on the spot. She could only ask for help from her mother. She shouted loudly: "Mom, look at it, Brother Cheng is bullying me again."
The two old ladies looked at Zhang Cheng and Zhang Lifang in front of them, with a look of laughter and crying on their faces. In the end, it was Zhang Cheng’s aunt Zhang Hanshi, who said, “Okay, Fang'er, you are too. You are fifteen years old, and you are still like when you were a child. No matter how good that is, a girl who is about to get married, you dare not make a fuss.”
"Yes, Fang'er is fifteen years old and she is all a big girl. It's time to get married!"
Zhang Cheng started teasing her cousin again, and he didn't even know why he couldn't control his mouth when he saw this little cousin. He just felt so owed that he couldn't help but tease her.
In fact, he didn't know that his body had no brothers and sisters since he was a child. Since he had this little cousin, he has taken care of him as his own sister.
He also likes to tease her more. In this way, teasing his cousin has become a fun for him, but he will not let him go if he has the opportunity. It gradually penetrates into his bones. Whenever he sees his cousin, he can't help but make a fuss.
This is no longer something that Zhang Cheng can hold back and control. Every action and every sentence are involuntarily and naturally occurring.
After saying this, Zhang Cheng was so scared that he raised his hand to cover his mouth. His expression was extremely funny. He stood aside and looked at Zhang Cheng's helpless cousin and shouted anxiously: "Mom, look, he is still laughing at me."
The two ladies smiled at each other, and their cousins were having a deeper relationship. This was what the old man wanted to see. At that moment, Zhang Han took his daughter's hand and said, "Okay, your brother is teasing you."
"Hmph, I'm just bullying me. Wait, see if I don't sue you for my new sister-in-law! Humph..."
Zhang Cheng was able to control himself at this time, and he stopped refuting, but looking at the cute expression of the cousin he picked up, he couldn't help it and laughed again.
…………
In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Cheng went to visit Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuan Town.
It was much smoother than going to the governor's yamen in the morning. This may be related to Yang Guozhu's instructions to the concierge, and he was directly transferred to the central hall of "Zhenshuo Mansion".
Here, Yang Guozhu's office is available. Generally, military generals are arranged to meet in the side room in the front hall, but Zhang Cheng was directly led here, which shows Yang Guozhu's importance to him.
Zhang Cheng sat in the middle hall and waited. In less than a quarter of an hour, Yang Guozhu appeared in front of the door. Unexpectedly, Guo Yingxian was not with Yang Guozhu today and was busy.
After the two of them met, Yang Guozhu sat in the upper head. After Zhang Cheng sat down, he said bluntly: "Yang Shuai, I will say goodbye to you today."
Yang Guozhu said calmly: "Well, it's a while since I returned to Xuanfu. It's time to go to North Road to take office. However, you must be prepared. There have been many fleeing troops on the North Road in recent years, but the place is a bit deserted;
This time you go to guard the town and have to train another 5,000 new troops, but it is a bit difficult. I am also struggling. Although I have the help, I can't do anything."
"Zhang Cheng knew everything about Yang Shuai's concerns, but where is Taoyuan in every place in the Ming Dynasty?
Just say that Xuanfu Town is the most prosperous city, how much better than the North Road?
The city is full of officials and gentry who are dressed in a rich and frugal manner, and outside the city is full of military generals and gentry who are like big rats. The people are all disabled, the arable land is everywhere, and there are many hidden households and hidden land. Who are the rich?
The national treasury government and military treasury are all empty, so who are the ones who are losing?
Just like Yang Shuai, who had to train ten thousand new troops in a prosperous place in the city, was usually determined but powerless. Why?”
Zhang Cheng said this, stood up and worshiped the ground, and said, "Ship Yang, Zhang Cheng has just lost his composure. I hope Yang Shuai will forgive me!"
Yang Guozhu took a step forward, mixed Zhang Cheng and said softly: "I know everything you said, but what can I do, I can only do my best."
Yang Guozhu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Zhongchen, you are recruiting soldiers in the city this time, and some soldiers from various battalions have also joined your army. All the generals are quite dissatisfied with this. You must be careful about this."
Zhang Cheng sneered and said, "Ship Yang, I am conscription according to the system. If they cannot control their soldiers under their command, what can they do to me? In this world, if they still care about it everywhere, how can they accomplish great things?
My Zhang Chengzhong’s desire to protect the country is a testament to the sun. Who can falsely abide me or mislead me?"
Yang Guozhu looked at the young general in front of him, his eyes full of love and said in a deep voice: "Zhongchen, you must always remember that you should not harm others, but you must also be careful. If you want to be safe, you must be careful everywhere and be cautious in everything. Do not make enemies too much, resulting in endless troubles."
Zhang Chengyi grabbed Yang Guozhu's hand and said, "Zhang Cheng kept all Yang Shuai's heartfelt words in mind today. However, for the sake of national affairs, he had no plans to be safe for his family. Zhang Cheng had already received the order of the emperor, and he could only do his best to repay his kindness."
After talking, both of them had already expressed their feelings.
Zhang Cheng is extremely grateful for Yang Guozhu's honest meeting with him.
Yang Guozhu was also shocked by Zhang Cheng's attitude of being loyal to the king, which made him even more admire Zhang Cheng, and his love for him became even more prosperous.
"Zhongchen, the governor and the governor are interested in sponsoring you as the governor of Shangbei Road. This time you take up your post, whether you are a garrison, a garrison, or a slaughter, but you have made minor achievements. This commander is determined to be the governor, and the governor and the governor together recommend you to be promoted to governor and guard the whole way."
Yang Guozhu said to Zhang Cheng with a sincere look on his face. He knew that this was all planned by the cabinet minister Yang Sichang and the governor Chen Xinjia, in order to show kindness to Zhang Cheng so that he could bow to Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang to serve him.
At this moment, he was just selling favors, but he also had this sincerity. He was also optimistic about Zhang Cheng and wanted to see what step Zhang Cheng could finally go.
