Uncle Zhang bit his lip. He was more mature than many of his peers and even many people who were much older than him.
Shangshu ordered Ji An?
Although he didn't know what kind of big shot he was, he could tell from the way his uncle and the whole family looked at this angel.
This person must be a very important and prominent figure in Chang'an City.
but……
Uncle Zhang raised his head and asked with all his strength, "Are you a great hero?"
Ji An was stunned for a moment.
big hero?
Ji An thought for a while.
Four years ago, Ji An would have held his head high and told the young man in front of him: I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I am good at etiquette and music. I don't dare to be a great hero, but I can be called a hero.
but now……
"I don't seem to be considered a hero..." Ji An sighed deeply.
Nowadays, Shilin’s public opinion and popular criticism have quietly changed.
Even Ji An was shocked to find at this moment that the standards for evaluating heroes in his heart had changed.
In the past, people who read poetry and books and were talented in literature would be given a thumbs-up wherever they went and said, "You are a true gentleman!"
What about now?
From outside the Baqiao Gate, the warrior wearing red and colorful clothes and stepping on the Xiongnu war flag is the great hero!
He is a great hero when he leaves Wuzhou Fortress and defeats the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe’s hussar army face to face!
The Xiliu camp cavalry who marched across the Great Wall of Dai and traveled thousands of miles to capture their supplies and livestock are the great heroes!
At Wuzhou Fortress, those who faced the Huns invaders directly, acted impassionedly, and died heroically are the great heroes!
Literati like him, who huddled in the rear and leisurely stayed away from the front line, were unknowingly excluded from the scope of heroes, even in their own hearts.
So Ji An shook his head and said: "I am just a person who handles chores for the frontline soldiers at the rear and contributes negligible strength. I am not a great hero..."
"Then do you know any great heroes?" Uncle Zhang continued to ask.
Ji An was able to answer this question calmly.
He said: "Hussars General Dongcheng Hou Yizong. I have always been familiar with him, and he can be called a great hero!"
"Please introduce me to the boy!" Uncle Zhang bowed and said: "Angel, I want to become a great hero like my father, so I must ask you to introduce me to the Cavalry General. I want to join the sect of such a great hero.
, learn how to be a hero, like my father!"
Ji An was immediately embarrassed.
Everyone in the Zhang family was anxious.
Shangshu Ling Ji An. This is the absolute confidant of the emperor today.
If you become a disciple of this person, your future can only be said to be smooth.
Great now!
If this person is offended, the whole Zhang family will be in trouble.
Ji An waved his hand and said, "Sir, you are worrying too much..."
He looked at Uncle Zhang's small body and resolute eyes, sighed, and said: "I agree to Lord Yong'an's request. When Qiao Qi returns to the court, I will take you to see him, but will Qiao Qi agree?"
, I can’t guarantee that!”
"Thank you, angel!" Uncle Zhang said immediately.
Ji An looked at the little man in front of him.
There are mixed feelings in my heart.
He remembered that when he was a child, he heard about the deeds of Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, so he practiced martial arts at home with a gun and stick.
As a result, he was scolded by his father, saying: Dancing with spears and clubs is not what a gentleman does. In today's world, those who can read poetry and books well. Regardless of ancient and modern times, they are heroes! Vulgar martial artists will be eliminated sooner or later!
More than ten years later, Ji An knew that his father was wrong.
This world is still dominated by warriors!
Even the little gentleman in front of me knows that he wants to become a disciple of the great hero!
"It seems that I have to prepare myself and go to the army to practice..." Ji An thought in his heart.
After all, he is just a young man.
I'm only in my twenties this year.
His blood is still boiling, still hot, and still full of vitality!
"I also want to be a great hero, at least a great hero for my own children and grandchildren!"
…………………………………………
Handan.
The ancient capital of Tongyi.
Since Zhao Jinghou moved his capital here, it has become one of the political and military centers in northern China.
When the State of Zhao was in its heyday, Handan City, Xianyang City and Linzi City were both the centers of the world.
Even today, this ancient city is still a world-famous metropolis!
It even has the title of 'the richest person in the world'.
Among the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen living in this city, only Luoyang and Linzi rank among the top three.
Even if there are wealthy merchants in Chang'an, there are not as many as in Handan.
the reason is simple.
Handan has the best red light district in the world.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, this reveling city has been a gentle home for nobles and merchants all over the world.
Handan's singers and beauties are famous all over the world and marketed around the world.
Nobles from all over the world came to buy it one after another.
As a result, Handan City developed a huge and indescribable industrial chain before the Christian era.
But behind the prosperity, there is countless filth and darkness hidden.
Most of the lower-class people living here live a precarious life.
There are countless people who have taken desperate risks or traveled far away in order to survive.
As for the taboos of the Han family such as having a son-in-law, there are also many in this city.
Son-in-law is a class that is discriminated against and looked down upon.
In the Han family, their status was only higher than Chengdan Sikong and Guixin Baican.
Even a slave has more human rights than them!
If a slave is killed by his master, the government will still ask questions and provide a reason.
But if the husband-in-law dies.
The officials didn't even bother to ask.
Even many officials have the feeling that it is a good death and a wonderful death.
Generally speaking, the children of a son-in-law are well protected by their family.
It is difficult for outsiders to know who the children of a certain family's adopted son-in-law are.
Because the host will do everything possible to eliminate the influence of the son-in-law.
They won't even admit that they have a son-in-law.
To them, a son-in-law is just a reproductive tool that can be thrown away after use.
But there are exceptions.
That is, those adopted sons-in-law and their children who were discovered by the government.
These people will all be put into another book.
It also needs to be widely advertised, so that the neighbors and people in the village know that so-and-so of such-and-such family is the son-in-law.
The government and mainstream public opinion use this method to warn and frighten everyone: A son-in-law is not a good person to eat!
But if the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
When you can't even eat, what do you care about?
In Handan City, sons-in-law still formed a huge class.
Many families in the village will recruit a son-in-law.
Even some families, if they have a son, will raise a son-in-law.
The reason is simple.
Son-in-law is useful!
Firstly, there is no need to spend money, secondly, there is no need to prepare a dowry for the daughter, and thirdly, you can get a free labor force.
A man who becomes a son-in-law is generally treated as a slave and a servant.
Even his wife would beat and scold him.
Their heirs, if there is no male in the family, will be well treated and taken care of.
In those families where there are male heirs, the children of the adopted son-in-law will be regarded as servants.
If discovered by the government, he would even be treated as a slave.
Wang Er is such a son-in-law who is treated as a slave by his family.
He has never seen his father since he was born.
His family told him that his father had died long ago.
As for the mother?
Four years ago, he was married off.
Even before he got married, his mother was not very good to him.
After his mother remarried, as the son-in-law, he automatically lost everything in the family.
Grandpa even had to take away his surname and not allow him to take the family name.
He had no choice but to return to his original surname of Wang.
This is probably the only place where he can find some comfort. At least, it proves that he does have a father, does have an origin, is not a bastard, and does not jump out of a rock.
However, apart from that, he has nothing.
Every day, I can only work silently and endure the criticism from my family and the contempt from my neighbors.
In such a life, his only comfort is the cute elf from Yang's next door.
Only she doesn't dislike him or hate him, and sometimes she even gives him a small piece of wheat cake.
This became the only warmth in his life.
pity……
"I'm just a son of a pariah. After becoming a son-in-law who doesn't even know his father's name, I won't be able to get ahead in this life..." He lamented in his heart.
Sometimes, Wang Er would resent his father for why he was so unsatisfactory back then.
But the suffering and torture of life had long since made him lose the strength to resent.
On this day, just like every other day, Wang Er picked up his ax and prepared to go out to the mountains to cut firewood, burn it into charcoal, and sell it to the dignitaries in the city.
This is his only source of income now.
Every winter, he can take advantage of this rare opportunity to save some money.
After four or five years, he did various things and saved about two to three thousand yuan. Originally, after saving for a few more years, he should be able to save a sum of money, and then find a widow with low requirements and a child, and then give birth.
Give birth to your own child...
Unfortunately, there was a currency reform last year.
Five baht coins suddenly flooded into the market, causing his wealth to shrink significantly. Currently, two old coins cannot be exchanged for a new coin in the market.
Many people even refused to accept five baht money.
This resulted in him now being unable to even afford a widow.
He held the ax and let out a long sigh.
Wang Er shook his head.
This is how the world looks to him.
There are always countless hardships and hardships waiting for him ahead.
The only thing he could do was to grit his teeth and survive.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Wang Er saw his uncle and a few friends fighting cocks in a box.
"I bet five hundred!" The uncle jumped on his feet, threw a bag of coins to the ground, and said fiercely: "I don't believe I can't win!"
Wang Er glanced at it, and then he felt like his brain was going to explode.
That money bag, that money bag, he stuffed it under his bed!
It’s all his savings and all his savings!
He saved it bit by bit, piece by piece!
However, now, my uncle took it, threw it on the ground, and used it to fight cocks and lackeys.
Wang Er held his fist tightly, held the ax, and walked over silently.
"Uncle..." Wang Er walked forward and said softly.
"Huh?" The uncle looked up at him and said disdainfully: "It's Wang Er, are you going to chop wood again?"
"You took my money..." Wang Er said, "That's mine..." He pointed at the coins on the ground, and then looked at the coins piled in front of his uncle's two friends.
He knows every one of these money and is familiar with it.
"Give it back to me!" Wang Er swallowed his saliva and said.
"Is this your money?" The uncle laughed loudly: "How can the son-in-law be rich?" He looked at Wang Er's appearance, patted Wang Er's face with his hand, and said unscrupulously: "Even yours
Life belongs to our Yang family!"
"I'm going to kill you!" Wang Er finally broke out. He swung the ax and hit his uncle desperately.
He doesn't care about anything now.
That money is his lifeblood!
Without it, his life is gone.
All his hopes are gone!
Then, the ax he swung out was nimbly dodged by his uncle.
Then, his uncle grabbed his arm and knocked him to the ground.
Compared with his uncle, Wang Er's figure is too thin.
He was malnourished all year round and was thin. In front of his powerful and burly uncle, he looked like a sheep.
He was easily captured and then trampled under his feet.
"Hey! You've grown up!" The uncle lowered his head and sprayed the breath of alcohol on his face: "I'll beat you to death for this unfilial, rebellious son! This despicable bitch!"
"Excuse me, is there a son-in-law here named Wang Dalang, who was later arrested by the government and sentenced to prison?" Suddenly, at the entrance of the alley, several men dressed as knights and wearing long swords came over and asked,
They didn't seem to see the scene in front of them, they just looked at it with their eyes.
"Wang Dalang?" Wang Er heard his uncle chuckle: "Isn't this the father of this bitch?"
Then, the next second, Wang Er heard the miserable howls of his uncle and his friends.
He opened his eyes, got up, and saw his uncle and his friends being grabbed and beaten on the ground by several tall and burly men.
"You are so brave after you dare to hurt a loyal minister!" A man with a sword on his back stood nearby and said, "Hit me hard and I will pay for it if you kill him!"
"A certain Ji Xin, I'm afraid what I hate the most are social scum like you who bully loyal ministers and righteous men!"
Ji Xin!!!!
Wang Er’s heart was shocked!
Two years ago, Ji Xin, the hero of Guanzhong, came to Handan from Guanzhong.
This shocked the entire city of Handan. Countless knights and dignitaries rushed to see him in carriages and with generous gifts, but basically all of them were rejected.
But because of this, Ji Xin's reputation became even more arrogant.
In Handan, Ji Xin is now the largest ranger leader, and it is said that he can recruit thousands of people with just one order.
How did such a big shot come here?
Ji Xin turned her head and looked at Wang Er.
His eyes were filled with heat and his body was trembling.
Then, this Guanzhong hero, who was once the famous knight-errant general in the world, bowed deeply in front of Wang Er, paid homage with an almost worshipful etiquette, and said: "Just Ji Xin"
,worship your feet…”
