Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 370 An anecdote in the innovation chapter ([-])

"Father, you're back." Zhang Zhong ran out to meet Zhang Negative, complaining, "Father, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're also an old man, and you drink like this all the time, okay? When my son smells you You can tell by the smell of alcohol that you drank a lot."

Zhang Negative patted the dust off his body, and said, "What's the matter? You don't need to take care of your father's affairs."

Zhang Zhong argued: "Father, it's not the son who cares about you, but the son who cares about you. Drinking alcohol all the time, and still drinking like this, is not good for your health. This is what father taught his son."

Zhang Neg glanced at Zhang Zhong, and said: "Don't worry about it, Dad is happy today, so he drank a few more sips. Dad hasn't been as happy as he is today in many years, and after a few sips, your kid will talk, it's not filial."

Zhang Zhong hurriedly said: "That's not what you mean, you only care about your son's filial piety."

"That's all right, all right, don't talk sweet words." Zhang Negative said: "Take people out immediately, and buy more things like bonuses, the more the better. Hurry up, use them in a hurry."

Zhang Zhongying asked strangely, "Father, what do you want to do with bonuses? Our family doesn't hold weddings, so what's the use of buying these?"

Zhang Negative explained: "It's for your sister. Dad thinks, someone will come to match your sister tomorrow. If you don't prepare it, your sister will be called wrong."

"Sister?" Zhang Zhong absolutely didn't believe that anyone dared to marry Zhang Sun who was famous for Kefu, his eyes almost fell out of surprise, and said, "Who will my sister marry again?"

Zhang Sunwu got married and her husband died, so no one dared to marry her, so she stayed at her mother's house and helped Zhang Negative plan and do business. Zhang Zhong thought that she would only be a widow in her life. Said matchmaker, can he not be surprised?

Zhang Negative scolded: "What should I say? You can't blame your sister, who said that your sister is born rich and honorable, those people want to eat swan meat, if they don't have that life, don't come to marry my precious daughter. This time, father promises you The girls live happily ever after."

Zhang Zhong was indeed a little apprehensive about Zhang Sunkefu. After all, they are brothers and sisters. Zhang Zhong was naturally happy if his sister could be happy. He asked curiously, "Father, who will my sister marry?"

"Chen Ping!" Zhang Negatively praised his son-in-law who had not yet written off his horoscope, and said, "Chen Ping is a character, and only he is worthy of my precious daughter!"

Zhang Zhong's eyes widened, and he said, "Chen Ping? Father, is it the Chen Ping who can only read books but can't make a living, and went to Guanzhong without any money, and it was Chen Ping who gave 50 taels of silver?" He treated Chen Ping like this. Scholars didn't like him very much, so he told all the embarrassing things about Chen Ping in one breath.

Zhang negative shouted: "Shut up, you can accumulate some virtue, okay? In life, who will not have a little difficulty? Temporary difficulties are nothing? Dad is in business, Jinshan Yinshan dare not say, he has a lot of money. It’s not a problem, isn’t there a time when money is tight? You just talk like this? Are you talking or memorizing? It’s just such a little thing, and you shake it all out, and you mean to be shabby.”

Zhang Zhong raised his head and retorted: "Father, if my sister marries someone else, my son will have nothing to say, but this Chen Ping doesn't know that his family is poor. He is a scholar. If my sister marries him, what will my son say?" Don't agree either."

"Kneel down!" Zhang Neg shouted.

Although Zhang Zhong didn't want to, he had no choice but to kneel, saying: "Kneel as long as you kneel, I don't agree to kneel to death."

Zhang Neg stared at Zhang Zhong and shouted: "You are still stubborn. Do you know why Dad wants you to kneel down? Dad wants to tell you, don't be too snobby in this world, don't just look at your eyes, people will change, now he Being poor doesn’t necessarily mean you will be poor in the future. Didn’t Dad tell you that heroes don’t ask where they come from?

"Although Dad is a businessman, Dad also taught you to read books. Don't you know that Baili Xi was a fan, and he spent his whole life in a leisurely manner. In his later years, he was used in the Qin State, and it was a good story. Ning Qi was just a cowherd boy. Duke Huan of Qi was promoted and became famous to later generations. What a hero he is.

"Chen Ping is poor, but he has knowledge. Now that the world is united, it is time to remove the old and bring forth the new. Look at the emperor's move to retire Mr. Zhou and other heroes. It is only a matter of time before you are listed above the court, and it will be used in the world, your eyesight is so short, you only look at your eyes?"

Zhang Zhongming knew that what Zhang Neg said was reasonable, but he still insisted: "So what? Even if he is Bailixi, my sister will suffer forever."

"You rebellious son, you are so mad at your father." Zhang Neg pointed at Zhang Zhong and scolded, "Before Chen Ping went to Guanzhong, did you carefully study what he did?"

Zhang Zhong didn't even think about it, he said, "Who doesn't know about his crap?"

"You know, well, let me ask you. Chen Ping is a poor scholar, who does he associate with?" Zhang Negative asked.

Zhang Zhong said unconvinced: "Whoever he likes to associate with can be controlled."

"Your eyes are in vain on your head." Zhang negative really wanted to slap him twice, and said, "Father told you that before Chen Ping went to Guanzhong, he secretly observed him, and the people he associates with all He is an elder, a man of virtue. Chen Ping lives in a back alley, but there are many ruts in front of his house. These are the ruts of those elders. Five years have passed, and he worshiped under Mr. Zhou. Even more impressive."

Zhang Zhong said disdainfully: "What's wrong with being worshiped by Mr. Zhou? Relying on Mr. Zhou's blessing to be in the imperial court is nothing. Such a person, a girl must not marry."

According to common sense, Zhang Negative would be even angrier when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zhang Negative laughed, pulled Zhang Zhong up, and said, "That's a good statement, you have ambition! This is indeed my Mr. Zhang." If Chen Ping relied on Mr. Zhou's blessing, he would have been a member of the party long ago. He has not yet achieved fame. What does this mean? It means that he wants to earn fame by himself. Such a talent is worthy of being a man! If your sister doesn't marry such a person, who else can she marry?"

Zhang Zhong had no words to answer, and just froze on the spot.Zhang Negative continued: "Are you still a little unconvinced? Daddy asks you, Chen Ping has been away from home for five years. As soon as he came back, the neighbors went to visit him and treat him as a relative. Go try it, you Can it be done? Our Zhang family has money, and you just use the money to buy it. If you give money to others, three years later there will still be so many people remembering you. Such respect from the neighbors, what does this mean? Is he a character?"

Without that charm, even if you buy it with money, you may not be able to gain the respect of others. Zhang Zhong agrees with this point, saying: "Father, do you agree?"

Zhang Sun had been listening to the father and son talking, feeling very worried in his heart, Zhang Zhong no longer objected to what he said, and said, "It's all up to father to decide."

Zhang Zhongdao: "Father, that son has gone."

Zhang negative shouted: "Slow down, you go and exchange some more money back, and you have to buy more dowry for your sister, you can't lose your sister."

Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "Father, what are you doing in exchange for money?"

Zhang Neg said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Chen Ping is poor, father just gave him some silver taels and asked him to come to the ceremony again, wouldn't this be a glorious scene? A character like Chen Ping, how can he be shabby."
