A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

After seeing Xiong Tingbi off, Lu Cheng's residence welcomed another family of four, which was Zhang Guoji's family of four who had been sent back by a special forces team. Zhang Guoji was just an ordinary scholar in Xiangfu County. He had a few acres of thin land at home, which could barely support his family. A few years ago, Zhang Guoji's first wife passed away. In order to support his family, Zhang Guoji often had to go out to work. Zhang Yan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, took care of his younger brothers and sisters at home. Although the family lived a slightly poor life, they were quite happy. Zhang Yan was taught by her father since she was a child and read some poems and books. At the age of seven, she began to sweep the courtyard, wash clothes, cook, and do needlework. Now she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has grown into a slender and graceful girl, unparalleled in the world.

However, Zhang Guoji could not understand why his daughter was favored by a general thousands of miles away when his family was living well.

However, this was also a good thing for Zhang Guoji's family.

Lu Cheng is now a second-rank general of the court, a general guarding a frontier. It is definitely a blessing for their family to be able to favor a girl from an ordinary scholar's family.

After all, Zhang Guoji did not know that his daughter would be chosen as the queen in the future.

When he heard that the soldiers were going to take his family to Liaodong, Zhang Guoji did not resist, nor did he have the ability to resist at all. He just prayed that his family could be properly settled and that the children could be well.

In fact, Zhang Guoji also knew some stories about Lu Cheng.

Today, Lu Cheng can be said to be the most capable frontier general in Liaodong. He has made many military achievements and dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Later Jin Dynasty to kill traitors. He is very legendary.

For such generals, the court also pays great attention to publicity to set an example, deter foreign enemies, and inspire their own morale.

Before meeting Lu Cheng, Zhang Guoji thought that Lu Cheng would be a fierce general like Zhang Fei.

But after seeing him, he found that although Lu Cheng was a military general, he was quite elegant, with masculine and bookish spirits, and he was very elegant.

In addition, Lu Cheng is now in his early twenties and has not yet married. For his daughter, he is definitely a good match that is not affordable.

"I am Zhang Guoji, a junior, and I pay my respects to General Dingguo."

Although Zhang Guoji is ten years older than Lu Cheng, he is only a scholar after all, and he dare not be arrogant in front of Lu Cheng.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite. You have traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains to Liaodong. You have worked hard all the way. Did those ignorant soldiers of mine make things difficult for you?"

"No, no. General Lu's soldiers have strict military discipline, are friendly and polite, and have taken good care of us along the way. It is said that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. It is no wonder that General Lu has been able to train such a large army and has repeatedly made military achievements."

"They are just some rough men. To be honest, what I lack most here is scholars. Since Mr. Zhang is here, are you willing to do a job in Haizhouwei?"

"It is my honor that the general likes me. Zhang Guoji dare not disobey your order?"

People were brought here by force, so there was naturally no room for refusal.

Zhang Guoji was not a person who was stupid because of reading books. Naturally, he knew what to do, but there was some helplessness in his tone.

After all, if there was a choice, no one would suddenly leave their hometown and come to this bitter and cold place where war could break out at any time.

Lu Cheng also knew that the other party would definitely have some resentment in his heart, but he didn't care. Instead, he made arrangements directly: "There is a courtyard on this alley outside the general's mansion. The environment is pretty good. Please trouble Mr. Zhang and his family to stay there temporarily. I have asked people to prepare all the daily necessities.

Mr. Zhang can go over and take a look later. If there is anything missing, please tell me at any time and I will ask someone to arrange it. Mr. Zhang can walk around the city and take a look in the next two days. There is no need to rush to work. In addition, there is a school in the city. If your son wants to study, he can also go to the school to say hello..."

Listening to the various treatments arranged by Lu Cheng, the resentment in Zhang Guoji's heart disappeared. Then he hesitated for a moment and looked at his daughter behind him: "General Lu, how are you going to arrange my Yan'er?"

Lu Cheng turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan happened to turn her head to look at him.

When their eyes met, the little girl turned her head away shyly.

Although Zhang Yan is only fourteen years old, her body has already begun to develop. She is much taller than girls of the same age and has a slender figure.

At first sight, she is plump, with a refreshing and beautiful appearance, skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth, graceful temperament, and quiet place like a delicate flower reflecting on the water, which makes people feel pity and easily arouse men's desire to protect her.

She is obviously just a little girl, but she has a bit of beauty that can overwhelm the country. No wonder she can stand out from the 5,000 beauties selected from the whole country and become a queen in history.

Before meeting Zhang Yan, Lu Cheng thought she was just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. With his normal aesthetic taste, he should not be too moved.

But after seeing her in person, I know what it means to have a girl next door who has grown up and can overwhelm the city with a smile.

If this girl were placed in the future, she would definitely become the white moonlight of countless boys.

After looking at her for a while, Lu Cheng made the girl feel a little embarrassed. He raised his head and coughed lightly: "Lu has a crush on Miss Zhang. When I passed by Xiangfu in my early years, I met Miss Zhang by chance. My heart was pounding and I have never forgotten it for a long time.

But at that time, Lu had the ambition to serve the country and came to Liaodong to join the army. His future was uncertain and he didn't know whether he would live or die. He could only temporarily put aside his feelings for his children. Later, he finally achieved success and made a name for himself. He thought of the quick encounter in the past, so he sent someone to invite her."

Lu Cheng's call was pure nonsense, but Zhang Guoji believed it. After all, apart from this reason, he couldn't think of how Lu Cheng knew his daughter.

"So that's it. The general is a thoughtful person."

After listening to Lu Cheng's words, Zhang Yan looked up and secretly glanced at Lu Cheng, then quickly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and her heart pounding.

It's not love at first sight.

But Zhang Yan is at the age of a young girl in love, so it's inevitable that she will have some feelings in her heart. Zhang Yan grew up in the countryside. She had never traveled far and had never seen many good-looking boys.

Compared to the young boys in the village, or the soldiers she met along the way, Lu Cheng was the most outstanding man Zhang Yan had ever seen, whether in appearance, conversation, or figure and temperament.

She also heard Lu Cheng say that he had been obsessed with her just because he had seen her once, and after he became successful, he sent people to pick up their family from afar. This satisfied the girl's yearning for love, and when she looked at Lu Cheng again, her impression of him naturally became better and better.

Moreover, Lu Cheng had picked up their family from afar, and Zhang Yan knew clearly that she would definitely marry Lu Cheng in the future.

These days, there is no such thing as falling in love first and then getting married. It is all arranged by parents, matchmakers, blind marriages, and fate.

At least, Zhang Yan saw Lu Cheng with her own eyes, and her first impression was very good. She did not reject the idea of ​​spending her life with such a general Lu.

As for love, it can be cultivated slowly.

At this moment, Lu Cheng continued, "Miss Zhang is still young, and I am willing to wait for her to grow up. Moreover, you have just arrived in Haizhouwei and are not familiar with me, so you can spend some time together. From now on, Miss Zhang can come and go freely in my general's mansion, and get to know what kind of person I am."

Zhang Guoji was relieved when he heard this: "In this case, everything will be arranged by the general."

Zhang Yan was also touched when she heard this, and her impression of Lu Cheng was better.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng casually took out a small wooden box with an exquisite shape and handed it to Zhang Yan: "Miss Zhang, this is our first meeting. This small mirror is a gift for you."

(Red Face Mirror)

Zhang Yan glanced at her father, and Zhang Guoji nodded: "Since it is a gift from General Lu, you should accept it."

"Yes, thank you, General."

Afterwards, Lu Cheng asked someone to prepare 300 taels of resettlement money for Zhang Guoji, and personally sent their family to the yard not far away.

Seeing the large yard with two entrances at home, and the servants serving them, and holding 300 taels of silver notes in his hand, Zhang Guoji no longer felt unhappy, but was just glad that he had a good daughter...
