Water Margin official

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head like a rattle and refused: "I can't do it. I have more than ten wives and concubines in my family. If your eldest sister marries in, wouldn't she be upset?"

The man surnamed Li was not angry either. He still stood on the roadside and joked with him: "The official said, which one is that?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Has Uncle Li ever heard of Wu Erlang from Qinghe County?"

The man surnamed Li smiled and said: "Is this the Wu Song who makes trouble and beats people after drinking?"

"He can't do it. My daughter won't marry such a reckless man who only gets drunk and causes trouble." This man actually looked down on Wu Song.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but look at him differently. This old Li has a very high vision.

"Of course I'm not talking about him, but Wu Er's brother, Wu Da." Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Uncle Li, do you know him?"

The man surnamed Li was stunned and asked: "Wuda? Is that the one selling cooking cakes on the street?"

"Of course it's me, the eldest brother of the Wu family. Although he is a little short, his character is outstanding. He is hardworking and simple, knows how to live a good life, and will not cause trouble. What do you think?" Zhang Zhengdao praised Wu Dalang.

The man surnamed Li unexpectedly nodded and responded: "It's a pity that my family is poor and we don't have spare money to buy a dowry for my eldest sister."

Zhang Zhengdao saw that his face was serious and not joking, so he stopped teasing and said seriously again: "Uncle Li, I'm not having fun with you. If you are serious, you don't have to deal with the dowry. Just leave it to your family."

When the eldest sister gets married, all she needs is a betrothal gift, a dowry and other things, and my Zhang family is born."

The man surnamed Li also suppressed his smile and said: "As promised in advance, my eldest sister is ugly, so don't dislike her when the time comes."

"Of course not. Let's do this. Today I talked to the second brother Wu and asked the eldest brother of the Wu family what he wanted. If it is decided, a matchmaker will be sent to your door. It will also give you some face in the Li family." Zhang Zhengdao said this in a few words.

It’s settled.

When the man surnamed Li heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Looking at Zhang Zhengdao's retreating figure, the man surnamed Li put the load of firewood on his shoulders again and did not go to sell it. He just picked it back home to find his wife and discuss the marriage of his eldest sister.
But Zhang Zhengdao rode horses all the way, swaggering through the city, and brought Jinlian to the Lion Tower.

He got off his horse and helped Jinlian down again. The new clerk in the shop took the reins of the horse and led him to the backyard to feed the fodder.

Sun San came up to him with a smile, led the two of them to sit on the third floor, and asked, "Do the officials want some food and wine?"

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said, "I won't eat anymore. How are you preparing it here?"

Sun San replied: "Since I have prepared everything, the officials can rest assured."

Zhang Zhengdao stood up, thinking of the sisters who gave him a headache, and said to Sun San: "You should prepare well. By the evening, everyone in Qinghe County will know my name of Lion House."

Sun San smiled and said: "With high officials in charge, everything will go well."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "I have invested a lot of money in taking care of this Lion Building. I just hope to get it back soon. You can take care of it for me with peace of mind. Your benefits are indispensable."

Sun Sanpai smiled and said: "I understand, little man."

Zhang Zhengdao motioned for him to go down and do some work, while he took Jin Lian to enjoy the scenery outside the building for a while.

Pan Jinlian grew up in the inner courtyard of a deep house and rarely had the opportunity to go out. When she came to this market, she felt that everything she saw was fresh. She held Zhang Zhengdao's hand and asked questions.

Zhang Zhengdao also patiently introduced her one by one. When he encountered something that he didn't understand, he used words to coax her.

The two of them talked and laughed, and had a lot of fun.

After another half an hour, Zhang Liu, a bitch, climbed up the stairs, panting, and saluted respectfully.

"Official, everything you asked has been completed."

Zhang Liu glanced at the pretty Golden Lotus who was still observing the scenery outside the window, then lowered his voice and reported truthfully: "The villain found a naughty boy and revealed the secret to Lu Hua, the snake in the grass, and Zhang Sheng, the rat crossing the street.

As long as these two shabby people know about this, it won’t take long for everyone in Qinghe County to know about it.”

Zhang Zhengdao felt happy and shouted: "Okay, well done."

"Let's go to the back and train those disobedient people." Zhang Zhengdao stood up and prepared to go to the backyard to teach the girls how to dance, so that they could surprise Qinghe County in the evening.

Zhang Liu saw Jin Lian following him, and hesitantly whispered in Zhang Zhengdao's ear: "Master, Jin Lian won't be able to follow you, right?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It's not a shameful thing, let's go together. By the way, have you called the drum group I asked you to find?"

Zhang Liudui said with a smile: "Don't worry, high officials, we will be here soon."

Zhang Zhengdao went downstairs and met Sun San. As soon as he left the door, he met Lu Xiaoyi again.

"High official." Lu Xiaoyi was followed by four strong men, who saluted Zhang Zhengdao respectfully.

"Grand official, these four people are all trustworthy brothers of the villain. They also want to join the high official and make a living." Lu Xiaoyi introduced.

The four people bowed and saluted again, and said in unison: "Please take me in, the high officials."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at them one by one and found that they were indeed strong men, so he asked: "How are your boxing and kicking skills?"

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Although I can't beat the villain, but combined, the villain is no match."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Okay, accept it. You guys will follow Brother Xiao Yi and Zhang Liu from now on and follow their orders."

The four men were overjoyed and bowed to express their thanks again.

After recruiting four new helpers, Zhang Zhengdao kept Zhang Liu and asked him to take Lu Xiaoyi and others to familiarize themselves with various things in the Lion House, and to protect the safety of the Lion House and the two houses behind it in the future.

.

Zhang Zhengdao took Jinlian to the house on the back street.

At this time, six pretty beauties gathered in the hall, divided into three small groups, and were gesticulating and criticizing each other. It was a lively scene.

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao entering the door, these people immediately silenced their voices, and then they all gathered around and complained to each other.

"Officer, you are here. Li Jiaoer bullied the slave family, you have to make the decision for the slave!" Qin Yuzhi squeezed away the others and hugged Zhang Zhengdao's arm, pretending to be pitiful.

Not to be outdone, Li Jiaoer hugged Zhang Zhengdao's other arm and retorted: "My lord, please don't listen to her nonsense. She was the first to say that my feet smell bad."

When the others heard this, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

Li Jiaoer was so angry that she let go of Zhang Zhengdao's arm and opened her teeth and claws to scratch him.

Seeing that these ladies were about to fight, Zhang Zhengdao roared angrily: "That's enough, stop it. If anyone makes trouble again, I will sell you all to the Liao Kingdom."

When the six sisters heard that they were going to be sold to the Liao Kingdom, they were all frightened and did not dare to make any more trouble. They all stood in a line and stared at Zhang Zhengdao pitifully.

When Pan Jinlian entered the door just now, she saw these six women, like mangy dogs, surrounding her husband in the center, while she was pushed to the side and could not get close.

At this moment, when he heard Da Lang roaring, he also waved his fist angrily and shouted: "Yes, sell all you bitches to Liao Gou."

It's just that her voice was quite abrupt, which made everyone look at her. Jin Lian blushed and hid behind Zhang Zhengdao, not daring to show her face again.
