I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly

On the second day of the marriage, Zheng Lan honestly told Yuan Jia about the Zheng family's marriage.

Originally, Zheng Lan probably didn't know about the marriage. When she was brought back, Zheng's father only told her that he had arranged a marriage for her.

Later, when Yuan Jia hit Hui Yuan and Zheng Lan was happy for her fiancé, Zheng Xiang satirized in front of her that she was picking up a man she didn't want, and she realized that this marriage was originally set by Zheng's father for Zheng Xiang, but Zheng Xiang She didn't want to let her mother take her from Zhuangzi back to the manor to marry her.

Zheng Lan grew up on Zhuangzi, and her temperament was a little simple. She couldn't hold back when she had something in her heart. On the second day of her marriage, she told Yuan Jia about the marriage. How dissatisfied with her.

After Yuan Jia learned the truth of the matter, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a **** thing to happen to him.

From the beginning to the end, he never doubted that the daughter of the Zheng family who was engaged to him was changed from a direct daughter to a concubine, because in his identity in this world, Zheng's father invested in him should be a concubine to him, and the wealthy and wealthy attracted the poor. This is what the students do, and the daughter-in-law is well trained to marry with the right family.

If it wasn't for Zheng Lan telling him the truth, he would still not believe that Zheng's father originally wanted to marry his direct daughter.

Yuan Jia came back to his senses, saw Zheng Lan's face a little uneasy, smiled lightly, and reassured: "Madam, don't worry, since we are married, you will be my wife in the future, so there is no need to mention that before, with me From the beginning to the end, the one who gets engaged is your wife."

Zheng Lan vaguely understood what Yuan Jia meant, nodded and said softly, "I see, husband."

Yuan Jia didn't take this matter to heart. Anyway, his wife was married, and it was useless to think about it more. It's just that he couldn't get close to the Yue family of the Zheng family.

The Zheng family ignored his wife Zheng Lan in every possible way, and when this happened in the marriage, Yuan Jia's favorability towards the Zheng family dropped.

But no matter what she thinks in her heart, the etiquette on the face is indispensable. When Yuan Jia took Zheng Lan back home, she had to pretend she didn't know anything and treat Zheng's father and mother with respect.

Zheng's father called Yuan Jia to the study, and Zheng Lan went to the backyard to visit Zheng's mother, the first mother.

Zheng Lan's biological mother passed away early, otherwise she would not have lived on Zhuangzi for so many years, and her identity was erased by Zheng's mother in the name of her death. As long as her biological mother is still alive, such absurd things will not happen.

Therefore, Zheng Lan could only come to see Zheng's mother when she returned home.

"Pray for mother!" Zheng Lan bowed to Zheng's mother Yingying, and then gave a half salute to Zheng Xiang, who was sitting next to Zheng's mother, "Sister!"

Zheng Xiang sat on the chair and received Zheng Lan's half-salutation, but he didn't move, obviously he didn't mean to return the salute.

Mother Zheng also turned a blind eye to this, and her attitude towards Zheng Lan was even more indifferent. She left her there to dry up and only gossip with her own daughter Zheng Xiang, and she had no right to Zheng Lan.

Facing this kind of cold violence, Zheng Lan has become accustomed to it. When she was not married, Zheng's mother and Zheng Xiang treated her like this. At first, she was still depressed and fearful, but after a long time, she didn't care. Now that she is married, Zheng Lan only regards herself as Yang's family, and will rarely return to Zheng's family in the future, and there is no need to care about not seeing her own mother and sister.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

In the study, Zheng's father discussed with Yuan Jia about his future career development. Zheng's father really appreciated Yuan Jia, otherwise he would not have wanted to marry a daughter at the first meeting, or he would have wanted to marry a daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Father Zheng was very thoughtful about Yuan Jia: "You stay in the Hanlin Academy for a year or two, and if you have this qualification, you will either enter the sixth department or be released. If you enter the sixth department, you can come to the Rites Department. I can only help you choose a rich place."

Yuan Jia had a plan for his future development. He said to Father Zheng, "Thank you for your kindness, but my son-in-law wants to go to Anzhou."

Zheng's father frowned: "There are many rivers in Anzhou, there are often floods, and the population is sparse. It is a poor place. It is difficult to go to Anzhou to make political achievements."

Yuan Jia had a plan in mind, but insisted on going to Anzhou.

In the end, Father Zheng was just his father-in-law, not his own father.

Father Zheng thought about his personal connections in Anzhou. It seemed that someone was there in the same year, so he wrote a letter of introduction to Yuan Jia, asking him to go to Anzhou so that he would not have any connections. smear.

If someone is easy to do, Yuan Jia will naturally not refuse.

Yuan Jia and Zheng's father said goodbye when it was getting dark, and then Yuan Jia went to the backyard to pick up his wife Zheng Lan home, and visited Zheng's mother by the way.

The maid guarding the entrance of the main courtyard came in and reported to Mother Zheng: "Madam, the eldest uncle is here to meet you!"

Zheng's mother, who was chatting with Zheng Xiang, hesitated slightly and said, "Please come in!"

The maid invited Yuan Jia in.

"My son-in-law pays a visit to his mother-in-law!"

Yuan Jia, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, stood tall and straight, with a handsome face, elegant and calm demeanor, and straight eyes, what a gentleman like a jade!

When Yuan Jia saluted, he casually glanced at everyone present, and naturally he also saw the beautiful girl sitting beside Zheng's mother with bright eyes. Looking at the girl's friendly attitude with Zheng's mother, he guessed that the girl should be Zheng Xiang's direct daughter Zheng Xiang. .

In terms of appearance, Zheng Xiang is indeed better than Zheng Lan, and his temperament is also more confident and dazzling. After all, one is a favored daughter who received elite education since childhood, and the other is a concubine who grew up on Zhuangzi.

But Yuan Jia has traveled through so many worlds and is well-informed. Zheng Xiang is ordinary in his eyes, just because he will inevitably pay more attention to this person who is unwilling to marry him after learning the truth from Zheng Lan's mouth. What does the daughter of the Zheng family look like?

Of course, Mother Zheng would not treat Yuan Jia as negligently as she did to Zheng Lan, and hurriedly said, "Don't be too polite! Uncle, please take a seat!"

Yuan Jia thanked him and sat beside Zheng Lan.

Zheng Xiang, who was sitting beside Zheng's mother, quietly surveyed the man who almost became his husband from the corner of his eyes. His appearance was outstanding and unforgettable.

Although Zheng Xiang did not regret that he regretted his marriage, he regretted that he had taken advantage of such a handsome man to be a disgusting concubine.

Yuan Jia sat next to Zheng Lan, keenly noticed Zheng Lan's discomfort, so she didn't stay any longer, and soon took Zheng Lan to say goodbye to Zheng's mother and left.

This time back home is the only time Zheng Lan has returned to Zheng's house in the six years since she was married.

Because Yuan Jia then applied to be released to Anzhou as an official, and this release was a six-year term.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

During his six-year tenure in Anzhou, Yuanjia vigorously developed the economy and managed floods in Anzhou.

To this end, he also called his dear Sanzhu younger brother from Ping'an County. With his implicit reminder, Yang Sanzhu came up with the cement formula, and Yuanjia used cement to build the dam, lay the road, and put the cement Cement recipe dedicated to the emperor.

Yuan Jia's political achievements in Anzhou and the contribution of cement formula, in exchange for his triple jump promotion and Yang Sanzhu's qualification as a royal businessman.

In the past six years in Anzhou, Zheng Lan gave him a pair of twins, and by the time he was transferred back to the capital, the twins were over four years old.

Yang Sanzhu also took advantage of the situation to expand and strengthen the business of Treasure Pavilion, opening branches all over Anzhou, and also opened a branch in the capital.

As a celebrity and a confidant in front of the emperor today, Yuan Jia, naturally, no one dared to make trouble at the shop opened by his younger brother, but he added more support.

The emperor was also very at ease with Yuan Jia. He came from a poor family, and his wife was also a daughter of the Zheng family from a scholarly family.

With the trust of the emperor, Yuan Jia's official career was naturally very smooth.

Back in the capital, the Zheng family took the initiative to send a post to invite Zheng Lan to take the child to the Zheng residence.

Six years after Yuan Jia and Zheng Lan left the capital, the Zheng family was also imported. Zheng Chi married a wife and had two sons with his wife. Zheng Xiang also married the right family and became the eldest daughter-in-law. The child is also two years old. .

Zheng Lan brought the twins back to Zheng's house and was warmly welcomed, especially her sister-in-law, Luo Shi, who had never met her, was very warm to her. The gift of meeting the twins was very precious.

In the past, Zheng Lan would have felt flattered and uneasy, but now she has calmly returned the greeting to her two nephews.

Having been an official wife for more than six years, she is the woman with the highest status in Anzhou.

This is the second time Zheng Lan has returned to her mother's house after she got married. Recalling the scene of her first time returning to her mother's house, she couldn't help but smile mockingly in her heart.

In the face of reality, even if she was so arrogant and arrogant that she couldn't look down on her mother-in-law, she would have to face her with a smile on her face.

Husband and wife are expensive, and now Yuanjia's official position is equal to that of Zheng's father, or even more powerful, and her brother Zheng Chi is still in the position of fifth grade. Even Zheng Lan's official rank is on par with her first-born mother, and her sister-in-law, Luo Shi, who came from a better background than her, has to greet her with a smile.

Only the younger sister, Zheng Xiang, remained the same, looking at her with an unhappy and disgusting indifference expression, but Zheng Lan had no intention of arguing with her.

Because Zheng Lan felt that Zheng Xiang was unhappy, she could understand. After all, Zheng Xiang married a high-born husband, but his official career was not smooth. She still has qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.

She is so pitiful, facing the concubine sister who she once looked down on but is now aloof, can she not be allowed to be upset?

Zheng Lan thought happily, I am a generous person, and I don't mind the envy, jealousy and hatred of my arrogant younger sister.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia couldn't see the scene of Zheng Lan returning to her mother's house to pretend to be coercive. He was now reading a letter written to him by Yang Sanzhu.

The content of the letter is not an introduction to the situation in the hometown, nor the development of Zhenbao Pavilion, but the current situation of the original male protagonist Yang Erzhu, who has long been forgotten by Yuan Jia.

After Yang Sanzhu became an imperial merchant, he made the Treasure Pavilion bigger. Naturally, his business could not be limited to self-sufficiency. He made his own products, and he would also run around everywhere, looking for some rare things to sell in the Treasure Pavilion.

Yang Erzhu was the one who accidentally met Yang Sanzhu when he was in the south of the Yangtze River in search of rare commodities.

Yang Erzhu has changed his name, not Yang Erzhu, but Yang Yuanqi.

Yuan Jia saw the name 'Yang Yuanqi' from Yang Sanzhu's letter, which touched his memory of the original plot.

Unexpectedly, Yang Erzhu was not adopted to the knees of Yang's father and Yang's mother, and he still changed his name to Yang Yuanqi.

Yang Sanzhu told him in the letter that Yang Erzhu, who changed his name to Yang Yuanqi, had become the son-in-law of the Zhang family in Jiangnan.

The head of the Zhang family is the high official who admired Yang Yuanqi and married his daughter to him in the original plot. In the original plot, Yang Yuanqi was able to rely on his wife to reach the pinnacle of his life because the head of the Zhang family had only one daughter, only Miaomiao, so he All the resources of the Zhang family were used on Yang Yuanqi, the son-in-law.

Now that Yang Yuanqi has no fame, although he doesn't know how he hooked up with Miss Zhang, it is obviously impossible for Yang Erzhu, who is white, to let Miss Zhang marry.

The head of the Zhang family made Yang Erzhu his son-in-law, and the child he and Miss Zhang would have in the future was also named Zhang.

The Zhang family was only regarded as their own young lady to recruit the family, but the fact that Yang Erzhu entered the family had a great impact on the Yang family.

In ancient times, the son-in-law was looked down upon. Yang Erzhu was very close to Yang Yuanjia by blood, and the two were cousins. If the world knew that Yang Yuanjia had a cousin who was the son-in-law, it would only affect Yang Yuanjia's reputation, and even the whole The men of the Yang family couldn't even lift their heads.

Yang Sanzhu hurriedly wrote to Yuan Jia just because he was aware of the influence of a new son-in-law on the Yang family's reputation.

Yuan Jia stared at Yang Sanzhu's handwriting on the letter paper, which had not made any progress for many years, and fell into contemplation. After a while, he wrote back: "Yang Erzhu has been away for many years and has not returned, so he must have died in a foreign country. He also asked the third brother to return to his hometown to build a tomb for the second brother. , with all brotherhood."

Yang Erzhu changed his name to Yang Yuanqi, presumably because he did not want to reveal his previous identity. He was the son-in-law of Jinyi Yushi in Zhang's family far away in the south of the Yangtze River. He had no intention of sending someone back to his hometown to see his family. .

Yuan Jia naturally wanted to do as he wished.

Since then, Yang Erzhu has died, and there is only Yang Yuanqi in the world.

And Yang Yuanqi is from the Zhang family in Jiangnan, not from the Yang family in Ping'an County.

After Yang Sanzhu received the letter, he returned to Yangjia Village as quickly as possible, and found the village chief to handle the matter.

Yang Erzhu has not heard from Yangjiacun for so many years, and almost everyone thinks that he should have died outside. Therefore, the villagers accepted Yang Erzhu's "death news" well, only Li was sad, but she may not have thought about the possibility of her second son's death in these years, so she is not particularly sad.

Yang Sanzhu breathed a sigh of relief after writing the news that Yang Erzhu was dead on the genealogy.

Regardless of whether Yang Yuanqi will return to Yangjia Village in the future, Yang Erzhu is dead anyway, and whether Yang Yuanqi is a son-in-law or does something has nothing to do with the Yang family.

After Yang Sanzhu finished his work, he went to the capital and explained the matter to Yuan Jia in person.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia doesn't care much about Yang Erzhu's affairs. Although Yang Erzhu is the original male protagonist, he has luck in his body, but the luck is growing step by step. Yang Erzhu's luck is from his adoption to the knees of Yang's father and Yang's mother Begin with reading education.

But Yang Yuanjia was not dead, Yang Erzhu had no chance to study in a private school, let alone the imperial examination, his luck was cut off from the beginning.

Even if he still meets the head of the Zhang family as in the original plot, and is with Miss Zhang, it is not a cause for concern.

If he doesn't die, the male protagonist should be a little brother obediently!

After Yang Sanzhu came to the capital, Yuan Jia took out a stack of books and copybooks that he had prepared a long time ago: "You came just in time, these are your next homework, I wanted to send you the letter along with it, but I temporarily forgot, now Just for you, remember to give it to me within a month."

Yang Sanzhu's face turned green.

I drop bro! Are you the devil? Set up homework when we meet, and you will lose your lovely three-poster brother!

But in front of Yuan Jia, whose official prestige is getting stronger and stronger, Yang Sanzhu didn't dare to make trouble or resist, so he could only take over the pile of homework with a green face, regretting so much in his heart: I'm so stupid, why should I come to the capital in person ? Wouldn't it be better to write a letter and report directly?

Yang Sanzhu changed the subject awkwardly: "Brother Yuanjia, why can't I see my nephews and nieces? I even brought them gifts!"

Yuan Jia said, "They are following Mr. in class."

Yang Sanzhu remembered the fear of being dominated by books and homework, and had deep sympathy for his four-year-old nephew and niece: I'm sorry, my uncle can't protect himself, he can't save you > people<

He asked people to bring in the gifts he prepared for the dragon and phoenix, two large boxes.

Yuan Jia glanced at the two large boxes of gifts, and was surprised: "Since you like children so much, why don't you marry and give birth to yourself?"

Yang Sanzhu is now a man who is going to three, a golden bachelor who has a successful career, and his eldest brother Yang Dazhu is about to have a grandson, but he has been urged to marry by his grandparents and mother Li, and he has never gotten married.

Yang Sanzhu smiled: "Didn't I want to find a soul mate who truly loves each other?"

Yuan Jia raised his eyes and glanced at him speechlessly, was free love in ancient times? Free love in ancient times of ritual and feudalism was difficult, or even impossible.

"If you haven't found it, then you'll be alone for the rest of your life?"

Yang Sanzhu said with a smile, "I'll be alone! I don't have children, but I'm rich! When I get old, I'm not afraid that no one will take care of you. Someone will take care of me."

Yang Sanzhu is very open to this. Anyway, he is not the only son in the family like Yang Yuanjia.

Yuan Jia still respected Yang Sanzhu's decision and did not urge him to marry. He also felt that it was almost impossible for Yang Sanzhu to find a soul mate in ancient times.

He had prepared for Yang Sanzhu's life as a lonely old man, and he also told his children to remember the goodness of the third uncle to them, and when Yang Sanzhu was old, they would accompany him more.

But he didn't expect Yang Sanzhu to bring back a woman after returning from a trip, and said that this was the soul mate he was looking for, and he insisted on marrying her.

Of course, Yuan Jia wouldn't interfere with what kind of wife his younger brother married. He just sent someone to investigate the identity of the woman and make sure that she was innocent and not a spy who had placed it.

The woman that Yang Sanzhu brought back was a rich lady who was kidnapped by bandits when she was visiting relatives. Although she escaped smartly and did not lose her body, the news that she was captured by bandits had spread. Her family is not at all willing to accept a daughter with a bad reputation, and her parents hate that she should not come back.

Homeless, she changed into men's clothes and made a living on her own. Yang Sanzhu accidentally met her who was dressed as a man, and after some contact, she discovered her female identity.

Yang Sanzhu is a traveler, and he doesn't care that her reputation is ruined by being kidnapped by bandits, he is looking for her. The woman who was once deeply burdened by fame was also moved by Yang Sanzhu's open-mindedness, so she regained her status as a woman and came back with him.

Yang Sanzhu also knew that the world was harsh on women. He gave her a new identity, which was hidden from Li Shi and others. Of course, Li Shi, who had long expected him to be his biological son, did not refuse.

Yuan Jia found out the identity of the woman, but he didn't care. When Yang Sanzhu got married, he also gave a generous gift, wishing them a good marriage for a hundred years and an early birth of a precious son.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like shuttles. Time never stops for anyone.

Yuan Jia is getting older and older, his officials are getting bigger and bigger, and his children are growing up.

Then my grandparents died and my parents got old.

Several princes under the emperor's knees have also grown up, and it is inevitable to fight for the throne.

Yuan Jia quickly arranged marriages for his children, just because he was worried that those princes would set their sights on their children.

After all, he is now the emperor's most trusted minister and holds great power. If he makes it clear which prince he supports, that prince will have an overwhelming advantage over the other princes.

This temptation is too great, and those princes are eager to keep their positions as concubines.

Fortunately, Yuan Jia has a long-term vision. As early as when his children were young, he was optimistic about the future husband/wife candidates for them, secretly developing the son-in-law and daughter-in-law he wanted.

Yuan Jia's sons and daughters must kiss, and the princes who were eyeing his daughter were disappointed and had to change their goals one by one.

But the emperor was very satisfied with this, and no one wanted to marry his own son when he was still alive and well, and set his sights on the throne under his ass.

Therefore, after Yuan Jia's son entered the official position in the imperial examination, under the secret care of the emperor, his career was smoother than that of Yuan Jia at the beginning.

After all, Yuan Jia had to work hard to make plans by himself. At first, he pulled the tiger skin of the Zheng family so that some rats would not dare to encroach on his achievements, and then climbed up step by step by relying on his achievements. He had to hold the emperor well and let the emperor treat him well. Trust is added.

Yuan Jia's son doesn't have to be so difficult. He received the best education since he was a child. After he entered the imperial examination, he was covered by a first assistant. No one dared to touch him, and the emperor secretly took care of him. Even if his ability was mediocre, he could climb smoothly. Come up, not to mention his ability is still outstanding under Yuan Jia's teaching.

When his son was promoted to the third rank, Yuan Jia immediately retired and returned to his hometown.

The emperor looked at Yuan Jia, who was very handsome and could not see his old age at all. He said that he was too old to resign and return to his hometown to retire, but he felt ridiculous in his heart.
