Mingshi

Chapter 202
It wasn't until they left that Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief.Turned around and walked towards his room.Looking at the two pieces of paper on the table, he sighed, picked them up and put them aside.He knew that even if he showed it to Zhou Zhixian at this time, Zhou Zhixian would not be interested and would not follow the above rules.I still don't know if I can defend the city, and I don't know whether I will live or die, so how can I care about these things?
The army was in chaos, so Luo Xin simply stopped going out.Shut yourself in the room and concentrate on studying Shiwenzhiyi.Occasionally Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun would come, and Luo Xin learned from Zhang Xun that the magistrate of Zhou also interceded with Zhang Xun's family, so Chief Bai also left a month's ration for Zhang Xun's family.But no one knows whether this war will end within a month.If it doesn't end, everyone will starve to death.Even if Zhou Yu can help, he can't afford to take care of the rations of the Luo family and the Zhang family.

a week later.

Zhang Shu's second younger brother, Zhang Zheng, came, so Luo Ping arranged some simple food and wine to drink with Zhang Zheng on the kang.Zhang Zheng sighed after taking a sip of wine:

"Second brother, you can still drink wine, but now I can only eat half full."

"How come?" Luo Ping was surprised: "I heard from Xun'er that he also left you a month's rations?"

Zhang Zheng poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all, and said, "Who knows when this rogue will end? So the eldest brother ordered that everyone can only drink porridge every day, and drink half full, oh..."

"Oh..." Luo Ping also sighed, "Brother, don't just drink, eat some food."

"Hey!"

The two exchanged cups, and when they were almost done eating, Zhang Zheng said with the strength of the wine: "Second brother, I want to discuss something with you today."

"What's the matter? You said, what the second brother can do is absolutely unambiguous."

"This..." Zhang Zheng's face didn't know whether it was red from drinking or shame: "Second brother, can you let Yunniang come in now?"

Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.This is Zhang Zheng wanting to send Yunniang to the Luo family, so that the Zhang family can also save a ration.Then he sighed and said:

"Then let's go through the door! It's just that the army is in chaos..."

"Keep it simple!" Zhang Zheng immediately said, "I'll send Yunniang over tomorrow, so don't make any rituals."

"It's better for my family to welcome them. It's just that we really can't do any ceremony. Let Zongbing Bai and Zhou Zhixian know about it, and we can't refuse to entertain them. If there are more people, we really can't afford to entertain them this year."

"Yes!" Zhang Zheng also sighed.

"I just wronged Yunniang!" Luo Ping sighed again.

"It doesn't matter whether you are wronged or not. It's good to be able to survive this year. Your Luo family is a martial arts family. If Yunniang marries here, even if the city breaks down, you will have an extra chance to survive."

"Ugh……"

the next day.

The Luo family hired a sedan chair and married Zhang Yunniang back.Luo Qing asked for a day off, Luo Xin thought about it, and invited Zhang Shu and Zhang Zheng to have a meal.In this way, Zhang Yunniang will be married.

early morning.

Luo Qing left home with a red face to guard the city. Zhang Yuniang sent Luo Qing to the gate with tears in her eyes, leaning on the door to face each other.

Five more days passed.

Zhang Shu came to the door, and it was not Luo Ping who received Zhang Shu when he came to the door. Luo Xin and Luo Zhi accompanied their grandfathers to take Zhang Shu into the main room, and the host and guest were seated.After chatting for a while, Zhang Shu blushed a little and said:
"Uncle Luo, your Luo Sheng isn't engaged yet, right?"

Luo Heng was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately understood what Zhang Shu meant.This is to propose marriage to Luo Sheng!I quickly recalled in my mind that the woman in the Zhang family who was about the same age as Luo Sheng was Zhang Yunqiao, the daughter of Zhang Shu's third brother Zhang Tang, who was thirteen years old.

only……

At this time, one more person will have one more mouth. Zhang Yunniang already has one more mouth. If there is one more mouth for Yunqiao, how can the family's food last for a month?

If this happened before the bandits happened, even if the Luo family went to the Zhang family to propose marriage for Luo Sheng, it would be impossible to marry Zhang Yunqiao.The reason why Zhang Yunniang was willing to marry Luo Qing was because of Luo Xin.And Luo Xin's family has already separated, how could Zhang Yunqiao be willing to marry Luo Sheng?

It was in this situation that the Zhang family had no choice but to marry Zhang Qiaoniang to Luo Sheng in order to save a ration.Luo Heng was a little embarrassed, because he was forced by a ration.Seeing Luo Heng was silent there, Zhang Shu's old face turned even redder.

No matter how he, Zhang Shu, is also a scholar, and now he is like selling his niece. This is because he has a good relationship with the Luo family, otherwise he really can't open his mouth, so he has the intention of hiding his face and leaving.

Seeing that Zhang Shu was about to get up, Luo Xin hurriedly spoke.If Zhang Shu just left like this, it would be a bit big to say that it was a feud, but a thorn was planted in his heart.Besides, Zhang Yunqiao's person, Luo Xin, also knows that she has the same temperament as Zhang Yuniang, and her appearance is slightly lower than Zhang Yuniang's, which is more than enough to match Luo Sheng.To put it bluntly, if there were no bandits this time, if Luo Sheng wanted to marry Zhang Yunqiao, it would be a dream!

"Uncle, this matter is my cousin's business, but my cousin is not at home. Would you like to ask my uncle? After all, my uncle is my cousin's father, and grandpa also considers this. I will go to my uncle right now. "

When Luo Heng saw Luo Xin speak, he reacted.In any case, you can't refuse in person. Compared to my grandson who took the initiative to ask to find his uncle, he should have already made up his mind, so he nodded and said:
"Nephew, I think so too, just wait a moment and let Xin'er invite his uncle to come."

At this time Luo Xin had already walked out, Zhang Shu naturally couldn't get up again, so he sat there silently.

Besides, Luo Xin hurriedly walked towards the uncle's room, and when he saw the uncle, he quickly explained the matter.Uncle and aunt looked at each other and said:

"Xin'er, it's Sheng'er's blessing to marry Yunqiao. It's just..."

"Uncle is worried about food, right?" Luo Xin said quickly, "Don't worry about this, Xin'er will only solve it. It's just that my cousin is not satisfied with Zhang Yunqiao? If he is satisfied, he will marry sister Yunqiao."

"What else is he dissatisfied with?" The aunt raised her eyebrows and said, "Besides, it doesn't matter what he said about this matter. We are parents who have the final say."

Only then did Luo Xin realize that this is Daming, not the later generations.Parents make a decision, and children can only listen.

"Xin'er, can you really take care of food?" Luo Ye still looked a little sad.

"Don't worry!" Luo pouted in confidence and said secretly: "If it wasn't for Zhang Shu's face, I wouldn't bother to care about it."
