On the day of the family reunion banquet, the clan school was on holiday, and all the children from the three direct branches of Changling City came back.

The children were extremely curious about the sixth cousin who suddenly appeared, the third aunt who had not been seen for a long time, and the guests in the house.

At first, they were kept in check by adults and behaved politely like gentlemen. But once they became familiar with Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi, the children, both big and small, started to make a mess in the garden.

Fortunately, their attention was attracted by the Xuegong duo, otherwise Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng would have a headache.

There were many guests in the front yard, many women in the back yard, and children laughing and making noises in the garden. The Six-room Mansion was so lively that it seemed like cold water poured into a frying pan, frying non-stop.

Although Gong Yuanzheng was clearly the protagonist, the busiest person was Zhang Xueming, the young master of the Zhang family who had "returned from traveling".

After socializing in the front yard, he had to go to the back yard. At the end of the day, even Tianxia Wudi felt tired.

Yang even laughed at her, "Are you tired already? When you and Yuan Zhengxing get married, people from other cities will come and you will be even busier. But it's worth it, isn't it? After all, you brought your young master back from the Southland yourself."

Zhang Xueming raised his eyebrows and agreed with him. He immediately felt that he could drink another 300 bowls of wine with his cousins, and at the same time drink those unreliable elders who wanted to get Gong Yuanzheng drunk to vent their anger for their misjudgment.

Whoever's little man is, he should feel sorry for him, right?

With her physique, she can't get drunk even without using her internal energy to sober up.

Once you scare them off by drinking, they will take the initiative to help you block the alcohol when you get married.

The next day, the young and old masters of the Zhang family were still drunk, the divine beasts returned to the school, and both houses became much quieter.

Several carriages took the four members of the Gong family to their new house. On the same day, the younger generation of the Zhang family were invited to the warm-room, so Zhang Xueming was able to meet the duo of Gong Shangjiao and Xuegong.

There was not much to say when we met, and there was a group of cousins ​​following us.

Zhang Xueming could get them drunk at the table, but he couldn't stop the clan from testing the Gong family.

The situation in the South is complicated, and the Zhang family needs a suitable agent to bring the Jianghu under control. No one else needs to worry about the court, as the eldest uncle and several cousins ​​will take care of it.

After that, Gong Yuanzheng took the car to go back and forth between the new house and the third room every day. He and Zhang Xueming were still busy in the study and the pharmacy respectively, looking at each other through the window every day and missing each other.

Occasionally, Zhang Wenling would ask him to go to his study to test him, taking turns to teach him the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was ostensibly instruction, but in reality it was just bullying.

Not only was Gong Yuanzheng not annoyed, he was actually happy to be tortured by him.

After all, every time Zhang Wenling abused him, Yang would have to keep him for lunch that day.

Gong Yuanzheng could not only sit at the same table with Zhang Xueming, but also sit next to her. They could pick up food for each other and secretly watch Zhang Wenling's angry expression without being able to speak out, which was also a pleasure.

Life is so fulfilling.

In the meantime, Gong Yuanzheng asked Zhang Xueming for two days off. When asked what he was going to do, he refused to say.

Zhang Xueming couldn't read the answer from his face afterwards, and her curiosity was piqued.

A few days later, the matchmaker came to the door of the third branch of the Zhang family. Zhang Wenling and his wife accepted the gift from the Gong family and agreed to the marriage without any hesitation.

Things went so smoothly that Zhang Xueming thought Gong Yuanzheng had poisoned her father and made him stupid.

After the three ceremonies of Nacai, Wenming and Naji, and the matching of horoscopes, and a prediction of a "match made in heaven", it was time to Nazheng. When Gong Shangjiao led the palace servants and guards to deliver boxes of betrothal gifts to the third room, Zhang Xueming realized why Gong Yuanzheng had taken that day off.

Her second brother Zhang Xueting, who was already a father of two children, winked at his younger sister in a nonchalant manner: "How is it, Zhaozhao, are these two wild geese fat enough? I personally led Yuanzheng out of the city, rode nearly 600 miles, and caught them in Heishui Paozi."

Zhang Xueming took a quick look and saw that the boss that Jin Ting was holding was in a round bamboo cage. Two wild geese with bulging bellies were squatting inside it. They stuck their heads out of the space left in the cage and looked around.

They looked so lazy, not like a pair of geese flying together, but more like an overfed duck.

Was it because he was born obese and couldn't fly, or was it because he was fed fat later in life?

Zhang Xueming's eyes twitched slightly. Seeing Gong Yuanzheng looking at him expectantly, he immediately gave him a big smile: "A Yuan is really amazing. He actually followed the ancient ritual to perform the Goose-laying Ceremony. After today, we will be a recognized engaged couple. We can go out together often and hold hands openly!"

Gong Yuanzheng's face was full of smiles, and his eyes followed her, he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Everyone looked at the demeanor of the young couple and couldn't help but smile.

At night, when Zhang Xueming was the only one left in the room, she sat in front of the dressing mirror, staring blankly at the face that looked less and less like her previous life.

She could not find any other emotion in the eyes in the mirror except indifference.

After a long time, Zhang Xueming raised his hand to lift the brocade on the top of the mirror, covered the mirror, and slowly exhaled.

Now she knew why her father agreed to the marriage so readily.

It is true that Zhang Xueting took Gong Yuanzheng out of the city to hunt geese, but hunting geese was just a side job.

This is the Zhang family's final test for the future young master and husband.

To become a member of the Zhang family, his position must never be contrary to that of the Zhang family.

Since the Zhang family established themselves in the northern border, they have only one position that is unshakable, and that is to defend the land and kill the barbarians.

The Zhang family never showed mercy to the barbarian tribes that they could not tame, including men, women, young and old, and even infants. The so-called pure-blooded people with obvious barbarian appearance were all their targets for elimination.

She remembered that near Heishui Paozi, 600 miles west of the city, the barbarian Li Xibu would sometimes camp there for a month or two, at irregular intervals of spring or autumn, herding sheep and horses, and moving on after clearing the pasture.

The tribal leader is hostile to Dayan, and there is an old wizard who has some tricks up his sleeve, so the whole tribe likes to play guerrilla warfare with the border troops.

Her second brother must have received the news from the mixed-race spies, and under the pretext of hunting geese, he took Gong Yuanzheng and the elite border troops disguised as his own troops to destroy the western part of Li.

Li Xibu failed to escape this time. He was afraid that his family had leaked the news to make Li Xibu think that his second brother and his team were really going to hunt geese for an engagement.

Li Xibu was waiting for the opportunity with the intention of killing the future young master of the Zhang family and the second son of the third branch, so as to deal a heavy blow to the Zhang family.

With Gong Yuanzheng's poisonous assistance, there was no doubt that western Li would be wiped out.

But Gong Yuanzheng must have personally killed the old, weak, women and children of the barbarians to pass the checkpoint, including children under three years old.

Isn't this why she had to take medicine to suppress her emotions?

The young master of the Zhang family can have weaknesses, but he cannot have such obvious flaws.

Zhang Xueming took a deep breath, his mind was in a mess and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

She suddenly wanted to see Gong Yuanzheng, she wanted him very much, the kind of want that couldn't wait even a moment.

[Ayuan, are you asleep? ] she asked.

Gong Yuanzheng was too far away from her, so he set up a pharmacy in his new house and stayed there all night. Hearing this, he quickly responded, "I'll go to bed right away."

[Then don't sleep yet.] Zhang Xueming was rarely unreasonable, [I'll come to you, now.]

She changed her clothes quickly, and walked out of the yard with a long sword in hand. She remained silent when the maids asked her questions along the way.

Just as she was about to take a deep breath and jump over the wall, Zhang Wenling rushed over after hearing the news and looked at her back in doubt: "Zhao Zhao, where are you going so late?"

Zhang Xueming didn't look back. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'm going to find my medicine."

He jumped out and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
