System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

The ancestors of the Zhen family had a Taibao who was as high as one of the Three Dukes, but because of the problem of taking sides, the family has declined to this day.

So now that the world is in chaos again, the Zhen family immediately wants to board the Yuan family's chariot.

"There's no point in talking to him."

"Talk to me?"

"Someone, bring the tea."

"Mrs. Zhen, please."

Dong Yu smiled and immediately asked the servants to serve tea.

"Thank you, General."

Zhen Jiang felt a little uncomfortable and avoided looking at him slightly.

Talk to you?

What to talk to you about?

Everyone in the world knows that the Dong family is the public enemy of the aristocratic families, and the Yuan family has long since allied itself with many aristocratic families.

The reason why the Dong family has few civil officials and many military officials is precisely because of this incident.

The world's literature is in the hands of the aristocratic families.

The reason why aristocratic families can stand firm and countless children from poor families flock to them is to be able to study.

These days, getting books is not as difficult as you might think; the hard part is paying attention to them.

Even if ordinary students spend a lot of effort to obtain books, they still cannot understand them.

The aristocratic families have spent countless generations to annotate the classics to make it easier for future generations to study and understand.

This is the most important thing.

Don’t think that the ancients always spoke in classical Chinese. Although the way they spoke was a little different from later generations, they also spoke in plain Chinese.

In order to facilitate recording and save information, it was recorded in the form of classical Chinese on bamboo slips and books.

This is getting off topic. Generally speaking, Zhen Jiang is not optimistic about the Dong family.

"Tell me, what are you here to discuss?"

Dong Yu asked with a smile as he took a sip of hot tea.

"Uh...just some business stuff."

Zhen Jiang said casually.

"Business?"

"Haha, the Zhen family is a merchant family, so I can understand why they do business."

"I want to do business with you, too."

Dong Yu stared at Zhen Jiang with a half-smile.

Dong Yu had already guessed what kind of business the other party wanted to do with the Yuan family.

However, it would be fine if you don’t meet a wealthy family like the Zhen family, but if you do meet one, you still have to pull them over to your side.

Giving it to the enemy would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

"I wonder what business the General wants to do?"

"Most of the things my Zhen family sells are food, cloth, and other necessities for the common people. As for salt, iron, etc., the Zhen family has never been involved."

Zhen Jiangqiang forced a smile and introduced the business.

“Don’t do these businesses.”

“These businesses are too small.”

"I only like to do big business."

Dong Yu stood up and walked to Zhen Jiang's desk.

"What kind of big business?"

Zhen Jiang was startled and raised his head with some vigilance.

"I'm afraid Madam can't make the decision. Why not invite your husband or the elders in the family so that we can discuss it together?"

Dong Yu squatted down, put his hands on the table, and said seriously.

"The elders of the clan have passed away many years ago, and my husband also passed away from illness five years ago."

"Now, all matters concerning the Zhen family are under the control of this concubine. General, please speak frankly."

Zhen Jiang couldn't stand Dong Yu's face-to-face communication style, so she quickly stood up and explained.

"OK."

Hearing that the other party's husband was dead and the elders of the clan were also dead, Dong Yu blurted out subconsciously.

"what?"

Zhen Jiang frowned slightly and looked at the other person with some dissatisfaction.

What do you mean?

What's good?

Your husband is dead, your father and uncles are all dead, and you are here cheering?

Insulting, right?

"I spoke out of turn."

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"What I mean is that I will marry into the Zhen family so that the Dong family can protect the Zhen family's business affairs. If necessary, some positions in the court can also be filled by men from the Zhen family."

"Of course, I need you to provide me with some financial support for the Zhen family when necessary."

Dong Yu looked at the other person and said with a smile.

"General, you're joking. All the girls in the Zhen family have already been promised to other families. There are no more marriages possible."

Zhen Jiang kept a smile on her face, but obviously rejected Dong Yu's proposal.

"I'm not kidding you, nor am I negotiating with you."

"What I say is what I will do."

"Whether it's you or your sisters in the clan, even if you're married, the worst that can happen is that you just kill those men."
