A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Remember that last time we were in Wenfeng Village, where Jiayou has been for six years?"

"Yes, your Majesty has a very good memory."

Wang Chongnian's flattery was very nutritious, which made Qiao Er a little disdainful.

"Is this Wenfeng Village?"

The last time he came to Wenfeng Village, it was deserted. The roofs of the houses had been lifted off, leaving only Chang Er and his family.

At that time, Wenfeng Village was no different from a ghost village, but the Wenfeng Village in front of us was...

A newly renovated house, smoke slowly rising from the roof...

A group of children were playing at the entrance of the village. Their clothes were a little ragged, but they could no longer be seen naked.

"Who are you looking for?"

An older boy came over and asked.

Zhao Xu asked: "Is there anyone from Chang'er's family?"

The boy looked at him and said, "Are you here to see my aunt to marry her?"

"Auntie, do you want to marry me?"

In Zhao Xu's impression, the aunt was still the timid and thin girl, could she actually be able to propose a kiss?

He said calmly: "Show me a way."

Wang Chongnian gave a few copper coins to the boy, and the boy said happily: "It's inside."

Zhao Xu and his entourage followed him into the village, and the houses opened their doors to look at them in surprise.

A young man, accompanied by a group of strong men, what is he doing here?

"Today the matchmaker came to marry my aunt, and she will get married in the second half of the year!"

"Are you here to see your aunt?"

"How is that possible? My aunt is thin and sleepy, and this young man looks like a child from a rich family. How can he like my aunt?"

"that's true!"

Zhao Xu's heart moved slightly when he heard these gossips.

A lot of people gathered in front of the Chang family, including men, women, old and young, and everyone was laughing.

"Where do young people come from?"

An old man glanced at Zhao Xu with cloudy eyes.

"Come from the city." Zhao Xu heard a woman's voice speaking in an exaggerated tone.

"...Brother Chang, your aunt looks really cool. Today, someone from the groom's family is here too. That...Fifth sister, come and see each other."

Another voice came, "This one is...skinny, I'm afraid it won't be easy for her to have children. And she's also dull. She can't be a fool, right? Brother Chang, you need a bigger dowry, otherwise this marriage will be canceled."

"This...my aunt is not stupid! Auntie, say something, hurry up!"

Chang Er's voice was very anxious, "Hurry up!"

The aunt never thought that she would have such a day. She looked at the people in the room...

The matchmaker looked happy because this was a business for her.

The fifth sister of the husband's family raised her head slightly, her plump face looked more proud, and her oily mouth showed that she had a good lunch today.

Life is getting better now, but eating lunch still hasn't become a habit.

A group of people is like buying or selling something.

Chang Er is urging his daughter. In his opinion, this is a good marriage. As for the woman's dislike, the one who dislikes it is the one who buys the goods. He knows this very well.

If the man was not satisfied, the fifth sister would have left long ago.

So the marriage was done.

"Mom, hurry up!"

Chang Er feels that he has been busy working for his children all his life. Now that his daughter is getting engaged, he has completed 30% of his task, and the remaining 70% is the future of his son Axe.

Ax is studying. Even if his sister is getting engaged today, Chang Er will not allow him to take leave.

Raise children to provide for you in old age, because your daughter belongs to someone else after all, and only your son will provide for you until you die.

This is the thought of Chang Er and countless others. In this era when women's status is low, they have no choice.

The aunt seemed to be scared, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked at her father blankly.

"Dad...don't sell me...I know how to work..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

Chang Er stamped his feet and cursed: "Why did I betray you? This is someone from your future husband's family."

The matchmaker sighed: "This child has never seen the world, fifth sister! She is frightened by you."

The fifth sister laughed, then walked over and stretched out her hand to squeeze the aunt's body. Auntie is hiding...

"Stand still!" Chang Er shouted, and then he was satisfied to see his daughter standing numbly, no longer hiding.

"This child looks stupid at first glance. If you get married, you will have to work and have children..."

The fifth sister pinched the aunt and said dissatisfiedly: "No! She's dull and skinny. If she marries her back home, will the younger brother at home have to face a piece of wood every day? Brother Chang, this dowry..."

Her eyes were critical and her tone was disdainful, as if she was choosing a puppy.

Chang Er smiled and said: "Well... let me do our best here. You also know the situation in Wenfeng Village..."

The aunt saw his lips moving and suddenly panicked.

Her eyes slowly turned and she saw Zhao Xu outside the door.

That year Shen An and Zhao Xu came to Wenfeng Village, and Chang Er's family who held on were frightened. Until Shen An and Zhao Xu took down Daguan Chen, Wenfeng Village was out of trouble from then on.

She remembered Zhao Xu, and remembered that Zhao Xu cried when he saw her.

What is he here to do?

The aunt is thinking about Shen An at the moment.

Shen An's appearance not only saved her family, but also improved her father's attitude towards her. It can be said that he was half a lifesaver.

At this moment, she hoped that Shen An would descend from the sky and drive out the matchmaker and the fifth sister who regarded her as cargo.

She felt that the fifth sister was a devil, and the man who was planning to marry her was probably the same.

She was scared.

"...More, otherwise this marriage will be canceled!"

The fifth sister showed her greedy face and was arguing with Chang Er over the aunt's dowry.

These days, women must marry generously, and the dowry must be large. Otherwise, the family will be embarrassed, and the woman will be looked down upon by her husband's family if she marries.

But the Chang family doesn't have much wealth, so if everything goes bankrupt, Chang Er won't do it.

"More!"

The fifth sister shouted with a red face: "Add more to this and it will be done."

Chang Er shook his head and said: "It's really not going to work anymore, and this whole family can't survive..."

Fifth Sister sneered, "I'll leave then."

She walked out of the door. The matchmaker pretended to persuade her, but didn't pull her away.

"I'm really leaving."

The fifth sister stepped slowly, but Chang Er didn't stop her, so she couldn't help but get angry.

She followed Chang Er's gaze and saw Zhao Xu.

"Chang Er, what do you mean?"

The fifth sister was really angry. In her opinion, if her family was willing to marry a stupid person like the aunt, it would be smoke coming out of the Chang family's ancestral grave.

Chang Er looked at Zhao Xu blankly, and suddenly said excitedly: "Your honor, please come in quickly."

He didn't know Zhao Xu's identity, but he was able to come out with Shen An, and it was Zhao Xu who beat Officer Chen seriously last time, which showed that he had an extraordinary background.

Are you here to see someone?

Chang Er was happy and shouted: "What are you still doing, madam? Go and make tea."

People in the Song Dynasty drank tea like never before. Everyone from emperors to common people loved to drink tea. You could even drink tea at farmers' homes in the mountains, but it just didn't taste good.

The aunt glanced at Zhao Xu and went into the back.

Zhao Xu was placed on the throne. He glanced at the matchmaker and asked, "Why do you want to marry me now?"

"Thirteen." Chang Er said in surprise: "The girl in the village is planning to get married when she is thirteen. She has made an agreement first and will get married when she turns sixteen..."

Thirteen's marriage is just to occupy a position. Find your future husband first.

"early."

Zhao Xu's words made the matchmaker a little dissatisfied, so she yelled and said, "What did this gentleman say..."

Zhao Xu said coldly: "Bianliang dialect."

The matchmaker glanced at Chang Er awkwardly and said, "Auntie, you're not young anymore. If you don't agree with me now, where will you tell others in the future?"

"I'll tell her." Zhao Xu thought of his aunt back then, with her timid eyes, dull face, and body that looked bulging because it was stuffed with hay.

Chang Er was stunned, but glanced at Zhao Xu suspiciously and asked, "Noble sir, although my family is poor, we refuse to let our daughter be a concubine."

Concubines these days are mostly worthless, and no decent family would allow their daughter to be a concubine.

This is because he is worried that Zhao Xu has fallen in love with the aunt and wants to take her back as a concubine.

"Yo!" the matchmaker exclaimed exaggeratedly, "The Chang family is a serious family. Their daughter has become a concubine and she has no shame to see anyone when she goes out!"

The fifth sister turned around, feeling that Zhao Xu was a strong rival, "You young man is so unreasonable, and that aunt is just a stick of bones. If you like it, then take her with you... But there must be someone who comes first, right? Besides, what about your family?" Do people agree with you taking a concubine?"

"I won't be a concubine."

The aunt appeared at the door very firmly.

Zhao Xu looked at her and said, "Are you willing to live in the city? As long as you are not willing, I guarantee that no one will dare to force you to marry anyone."

There was more emotion in the aunt's eyes, no, it was joy, but it disappeared immediately.

She lowered her head and said, "I listen to daddy."

Do you not believe me?

Zhao Xu said angrily: "Qiao Er."

"Da...Dalangjun, the villain is here."

Qiao Er poked his head out of the door, UU reading www.uukanshu.net but couldn't squeeze in. He almost called out the title King just now and was frightened.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and decided to continue eating braised chicken legs in the evening, and then asked: "Can you bring banknotes?"

Song Dynasty banknotes are now gradually circulating. Although merchants use them the most, people have also begun to accept them.

Qiao Er said: "I have it with me."

"Take them all out."

Qiao Er took out a few banknotes and handed them to Zhao Xu.

"Two hundred and twenty strings."

Four banknotes, two hundred and twenty strings, this amount would surprise no one in the imperial city, but this is Wenfeng Village, a village that has just emerged from the famine a few years ago.

Zhao Xu handed the money to Chang Er and said: "You can keep this money for the ax so that you can study... As for the aunt..."

He stood up and walked over. The aunt began to tremble, her eyes full of panic.

"Noble..."

In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Xu's life is probably one of great wealth. He was born in a county prince's palace, has no shortage of money, and will definitely receive rewards in the future...

This is the wealthy and idle man who is envied by the people.

He was very idle until he followed Shen An to Wenfeng Village and saw the aunt...

He swore that he would never forget those timid eyes, which were the fear of the world.

From that moment on, Zhao Xu vowed that he would make this world no longer fearful.

And the first one starts with her.

"My name is Zhao Xu, and I come from the palace." Zhao Xu looked at the aunt and asked seriously: "Are you willing to follow me into the palace? From now on, I will raise you."

The aunt remembered the official she met back then. The official cried when she saw the hay in their clothes and was very sad.

And this noble man said that his name was Zhao Xu and he came from the palace...

The aunt slowly looked at her father.
