Water Margin official

Chapter 113 Good generals are hard to find

Wu Yueniang was dressed in plain clothes and had a somewhat thin figure. When she entered the hall, she saw Zhang Zhengdao sitting there, looking at the sky in a trance, and she felt a little unhappy.

Wu Yueniang also asked her family servants to secretly inquire about the husband-in-law her father had "carefully" selected for her.

This man was nicknamed "Playboy" in the community, and he redeemed the lives of more than a dozen women and kept them at home.

There is also an outhouse outside, which everyone in the county knows about.

Such a frivolous young man is far from the image of a wishful husband in her mind.

However, the marriage in his daughter's family was not his own decision. Wu Qianhu had already decided on the marriage. If he regretted the marriage, he would probably violate his father's will and be known as unfilial.

Wu Yueniang looked at Zhang Zhengdao with a cold face. Although she had agreed to get married to him, this man kept delaying the wedding and did not take her daughter's family's face into consideration at all.

"Official!"

Even though there was a lot of resentment in her heart, Wu Yueniang could only greet him obediently.

Before Wu Qianhu died, he still urged Yueniang to marry into the Zhang family as soon as possible so that she could have someone to rely on in her future life.

When Zhang Zhengdao looked at this legitimate wife, his apricot eyes lost their brightness and moisture and looked haggard. His pretty face, which used to have a slight smile, only looked sad, not happy.

"It's fate, you said our old father was in good health, why did he just say he was gone?" Zhang Zhengdao stood up and sighed.

When Wu Yueniang heard what he said, her eyes suddenly became moist.

"You've lost weight!" Zhang Zhengdao raised his sleeves and wiped her tears.

During this period of time, Wu Yueniang had been in the sadness of losing her loved ones. When she heard Zhang Zhengdao lamenting about Wu Qianhu, she felt so sad that her tears fell down.

"My condolences on this lady's day!" The more Zhang Zhengdao helped her wipe it, the more tears she shed, so much so that her sleeves became wet.

"Take me to worship my father-in-law." Zhang Zhengdao saw that Wu Yueniang was sad, so he had to distract her.

Wu Yueniang whispered "Yeah" and led Zhang Zhengdao to the room where the memorial tablets were placed at home to worship his parents.

After placing the sacrifices bought by Zhang Liu on the table, Zhang Zhengdao respectfully laid three sticks of incense for Wu Qianhu, poured three cups of libations, and bowed three times.

After the worship process was completed, Zhang Zhengdao asked Wu Yueniang: "Is there anything in short supply at home?"

Wu Yueniang shook her head.

"Where are my two uncles?" Zhang Zhengdao asked Wu Qianhu's two sons again.

The eldest son of the Wu family, named Wu Kai, originally worked with his father as a soldier in the Inspection Department, responsible for maintaining local security and arresting thieves.

As for my second uncle Wu Bor, he was proficient in calligraphy and could write and do calculations. He also took on odd jobs of writing letters to earn a little money to supplement the family income.

These two uncles had no abilities and relied entirely on Wu Qianhu's meager salary to support them. They lived a tight life and were not very wealthy.

Wu Yueniang replied: "Brother, the second brother is not at home today."

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "I originally had something to say to them."

Wu Yueniang was puzzled and asked: "What's the matter, official?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Tell me about our marriage."

When Wu Yueniang heard him talk about this, she became thin-skinned and a little shy, and stopped answering.

Zhang Zhengdao sighed again: "They all blame me for delaying our affairs until now. Now that my father-in-law has passed away, you have no way to live with me because of your filial piety."

In this era, when parents died, they had to stay at home and observe mourning for three years, during which time they did not get married.

Although the common people, forced to make a living, do not pay much attention to the observance of filial piety, they still have to observe it for at least a year and a half before they can talk about marriage again.

Wu Yueniang said: "If the official can't wait, he will return Yueniang's detailed post."

The detailed post is the marriage certificate. Wu Yueniang wants Zhang Zhengdao to break off the engagement.

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhang Zhengdao naturally would not break off the engagement easily. He did not want to kneel on the washboard again.

They both fell silent again.

Zhang Zhengdao sat for a while longer. Seeing that Wu Yueniang didn't speak, both of them were a little embarrassed, so they couldn't sit anymore and stood up to leave.

When he came to the door, Zhang Zhengdao told Zhang Liu: "Go back and get two hundred dollars and deliver it to the lady."

"If there is any shortage at home, don't keep silent, just speak up. You and I, husband and wife, are one, and we must not be divided." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Wu Yueniang originally didn't want to accept his money, but after hearing what he said, she felt better, so she responded with a gentle "hmm".

Zhang Zhengdao got on his horse and said again: "If there is anything important, go to the Lion House or Zhang's house to find me."

Wu Yueniang said "hmm" again.

After leaving Wu's house and returning to the Lion House, Ruan Xiaoqi happened to have already gotten up. He was also overjoyed to see Zhang Zhengdao back, so he grabbed him and wanted to have a drink with him.

Sitting in the guest room on the third floor of the Lion Building, Zhang Zhengdao closed all the doors and windows, and whispered to Ruan Xiaoqi what he had discussed with Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu that day.

p>

This man was not afraid of the sky or the earth, and immediately shouted: "Since the second brother and the fifth brother are determined to go up the mountain, I will risk my life to fight."

Ruan Xiaoqi, nicknamed "Living Yama", is the most free and unrestrained hero among the three Ruan heroes.

"Life is a life of grass and autumn, and my skills are no worse than others. Why can't I live a happy life and be slandered by the imperial court!" Ruan Xiaoqi drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and wiped it with his elbow.

The corner of the mouth.

After persuading the three heroes of the Ruan family, Liangshan's navy has already been formed, so there is no need to worry too much.

However, Lin Chong has not been appointed to Cangzhou yet. There is still a lack of a tiger general in this village. Where can we find such talents?

Zhang Zhengdao thought hard!

On this Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, where are the true heroes who are willing to throw their innocent bodies into the green forest and go up the mountain to become bandits?

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhengdao did not think of anyone who could be used, so he sighed helplessly: "Seventh brother, after collecting the gold and silver in the past two days, I will set off to rush back to Shijie Village and occupy that treasured land."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "With your money and food support, not to mention the outside world, even in Shijie Village, I can attract one or two hundred good men for the village."

It is said that starting a business is difficult, Zhang Zhengdao feels deeply. The capital of starting a business is on one hand, and on the other hand, it is talents. Good generals are hard to find.

After drinking for a long time, Ruan Xiaoqi went to the first floor and went to have fun with the gang.

Zhang Zhengdao was a little drunk, so he rested in the bedroom next to him. As he slept in a daze, he felt his nose was a little itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze a lot.

The bell-like laughter of several women reached his ears. Zhang Zhengdao opened his eyes and saw Qin Yuzhi's pretty face appearing in front of him.

This girl was actually holding the ends of her hair and teasing his nose.

Zhang Zhengdao held her in his arms, raised his hand and slapped her hard on the buttocks.

"Oops!"

Qin Yuzhi screamed in pain, causing the other sisters to laugh.

"Master, you are finally back. I miss you so much as sisters." Han Jinchuan squeezed to the bedside and sat down, holding Zhang Zhengdao's hand and exclaiming softly.

Zhang Zhengdao sat up and looked at these girls who were debuting in a group. They were becoming more and more charming. Every smile and every frown was seducing men's minds.

Qin Yuzhi hooked his neck and complained: "Sir, your words don't count. You agreed to take our sisters shopping. It's been several months and you haven't come back yet."

Zhang Xichun squeezed to the front and shouted with a plaintive voice: "Official, please save the slave family quickly. The third official, Wang, has been pestering the slave family a lot these days."

"You don't like him?" Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.

Zhang Xichun pushed Qin Yuzhi aside, hugged his arm and said, "He is your adopted son. If you follow him, you will be a generation shorter. The slave family should not call them mother."

Zhang Xichun looked around and continued: "Official, please help me quickly."

Li Jiaoer smiled foolishly and said: "My dear daughter, call me mother and come and listen."

The Han sisters were also teasing them endlessly.

Looking at the Yingying Yanyan in front of him, Zhang Zhengdao was in a good mood and just threw aside the worries in his heart.
