Can you live forever

Chapter 129

Organize letterheads and put things away.

Zhang Zhixiang also felt that it was time to leave the mountain. He hadn't left Zhangjia Village in these years, and he knew little about the outside world. He only heard from his father that the world had changed with each passing day.

During lunch, Zhang Baichuan came back with a bunch of bacon.

Obviously, this is his record in the morning.

明朝的物价很奇特，猪肉一般12~15文一斤，牛肉却只有10~14文一斤，羊肉、鸡肉则都是13~15文一斤。

Therefore, pork is more expensive.

The hanging bacon is not gambling money, but a prize. The village chief of Zhangjia Village is also a mahjong fan. He held a small competition these days, and the No.1 reward is this hanging bacon.

Hearing his father humming a ditty, Zhang Zhixiang smiled and said, "Father, hurry up tomorrow, I will ask the emperor to hold a national competition, and you also go to win a national championship?"

"Yo, great idea!"

Zhang Baichuan's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't like to gamble, but he liked the battle of wits and courage when playing mahjong, and he liked this kind of game full of luck.

Mahjong has indeed become popular all over the country in recent years, and there is a player base. Seeing that the old man is interested, Zhang Zhixiang also nodded in agreement, and it doesn't take much trouble.

There is a complete competition system, leading mahjong to competitions, and less folk gambling.

After lunch, Zhang Zhixiang told his parents about his successful foundation building. Although he knew that his son was very powerful, they were still very emotional after learning that his son had already embarked on the road to longevity.

Zhang Baichuan is an open-minded person, and immediately sang "The Ladder to Heaven" by the founder of Sanfeng.

"The Great Yuan is a guest from afar, whisking his beard like a halberd, and climbing up the ladder with a song, it can be like flying in the sky. Looking back at the beginning of Taoism, not changing his mind like a stone, abandoning his official position to travel to Haiyue, working hard to find the secret of alchemy, abandoning the tomb of my dead relatives, You can't stay in the countryside, don't let me be a middle-aged woman, the sky will be white when you go out, let me go, turn around and leave the fire house..."

Although it is a sad word, it also sings a sense of heroism.

Zhang Fushi shed two tears. As parents, they always have time to accompany their children, but their own children have already lived forever. They only hope that their children will not be lonely on the road to longevity.

"Okay, okay."

"Patriarch Sanfeng is also living well, so there is nothing to worry about."

Zhang Baichuan still understood his wife, so after coaxing Zhang Fushi well, he changed the subject and said something cheerful, "Anping, I heard that you gave the Wang family a betrothal gift in the sixth year of Jiajing."

"Why, go out of the mountain this time and go to the Wang family to bring back my wife?"

Speaking of her son's marriage, being a mother doesn't feel sleepy, and she immediately regained her spirits. Zhang Jingdu coughed and sat up straight to show her existence.

Zhang Zhixiang directly snapped his fingers, hitting the girl with a groan.

Only then did he say: "Father, it's a little bit of a joke, but I can't count it. Besides, my son is only 16 years old now, and he hasn't even reached the crown yet. How could he be so eager to get married?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fu didn't agree, and retorted: "In this village, many people get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen."

"Mother has inquired about it. You cultivators, once you have established your foundation, you will not be hindered in your cultivation if you get married. It's fine if you don't like the girls from the Wang family. Mother thinks Cuiqiao is fine."

"Oh, by the way, the yellow eunuch sent by the emperor a few years ago is here again."

"Sent a Geng Tie."

"Mother, what does this mean? The emperor intends to recruit you to be his son-in-law."

Thinking of this incident, Zhang Fu got up and went back to the room, and took out the Geng Tie, which had the word "Yongchun" written on it. Judging by the horoscope of her birth date, this Princess Yongchun was two years older than Zhang Zhixiang. (In this book, Princess Yongchun is changed to be born in the 14th year of Zhengde.)
Jiajing has only one older sister and one younger sister.

His elder sister died of illness in the fourth year of Jiajing, that is to say, now he has only one younger sister left.

This is also the only princess in the dynasty.

Zhang Fushi only thought that my son was a fairy, and that there was no woman in the world that he couldn't marry, but Zhang Baichuan understood that Zhang Zhixiang's marriage still had to have political considerations.

If Zhang Zhixiang plans to join the WTO and do something.

Zhang Zhixiang also scratched his head a little, he didn't expect that Jiajing would give this to his mother after not going down the mountain for more than half a year, after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty will not force me, I will explain to His Majesty when I go to the capital."

Zhang Fushi nodded: "Alright, you have to pick the one you like."

Zhang Baichuan patted his son on the shoulder, saw that his son was now half a head taller than himself, and said with some emotion: "Stop with your mother for a few more days."

"Ah."

……

No matter how urgent the external affairs are, Zhang Zhixiang can't leave immediately. As the old saying goes, if his parents are still there, he doesn't travel far.

After finally achieving some achievements in practice, I can relax. Naturally, I have to stay at home for a few more days and spend time with my parents.

But on the second day, Dudu shouted to go to the town to play.

Zhang Fu liked this granddaughter of Master Tian very much, just like seeing her own daughter, so naturally she asked Zhang Zhixiang to accompany her, just as Wang Cuiqiao also wanted to go back to the clinic, play during the day and go home at night.

It is about fifteen miles from Zhangjia Village to Shangqing Town.

The Zhang family has horses, so it is convenient to come and go.

When Zhang Zhixiang went to the capital last time, Zhang Fushi gave him 50 taels of silver, which shows that the Zhang family is actually a little rich. In fact, life in the entire Zhangjia Village is pretty good, because there is no exploitation here.

The government did not dare to collect taxes or collect corvee indiscriminately.

Only according to the land tax of 0.03 shi per mu, don't live too comfortably.Even tenants and fellow villagers in the village basically only charge [-]% of the rent, and their life is much more comfortable than that of the self-cultivating farmers outside.

During the Jiajing period, a horse was not expensive, only 15 to 20 taels of silver, war horses and BMWs were calculated separately.

The Zhang family has only two horses.

Zhang Jingdu naturally wants to share a horse with her brother Anping. The two are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. They are the most intimate on weekdays. The innocent and natural girl doesn't care about the defenses of men and women. She just thinks that playing with brother Anping is very happy .

"Hurry up! Hurry up, uh—fly."

Relying on her good kung fu, she stood on the back of the horse with her hands open, enjoying herself very much.

After playing enough, he jumped forward and fell into Zhang Zhixiang's arms. He said cutely, "Brother Anping, will you buy me candied haws later?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

She pinched her little face fondly, and she smiled silly.

Wang Cuiqiao was half a body behind, watching the interaction between the two, after all these years, she finally discovered some patterns, Zhang Zhixiang was always very tolerant and patient when dealing with girls like Zhang Jingdu and Yushui.

But treating them is different.

Wang Cuiqiao knew that she had a bad background and deserved to be dismissed, but Zhang Zhixiang didn't really think too much about a lady as noble as Wang Jiangque, even though the Wang family had helped so much, he always kept a vigilance in his heart.

Others don't know what it means to marry Wang Jiangque, but Wang Cuiqiao is very clear.

Is Xu Qingshe amazing?

She is also the prostitute's daughter of a wealthy businessman, but it is very different, because the Xu family cannot give much property because of Xu Qingshe, but Wang Jiangque is different, Wang Yuanzhi only has her as an only daughter.

Half of the Wang family belongs to Wang Jiangque...

I don't know what Zhang Zhixiang was thinking.

"Sister Cuiqiao, how is the hospital?"

Wang Cuiqiao was a little distracted, she didn't expect that Zhang Zhixiang would take the initiative to ask her a question, she ahed, and then said: "Oh, it's okay, it's just that there is a strange patient these few days, whose stomach is bloated as if she is pregnant, and the colic is extremely painful, why? It can't be cured either."

"It works when the needle sticks in, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

"But as soon as the silver needle was pulled out, the pain would recur again. I tried several times, but one time when the needle was inserted, I vaguely heard a man's voice telling me not to mind my own business..."
