  Chapter 1047 Gushing Out

   "..." Zhao Song asked: "Do you have an idea about Erlang's marriage?"

  Zhao Hanzhang gave him a guilty smile.

   Zhao Song snorted coldly when he saw it, "You don't even have a shadow, so you can guarantee that his son will take over the position of patriarch in twenty years' time?"

   "Aren't you afraid that he won't even have a son in twenty years?"

  Zhao Hanzhang: "If you don't have a son, you can also have a daughter. When the time comes, let her find a wife, as long as she has a high moral character."

  Zhao Song was angry: "Am I talking about the child's problem? I'm talking about his marriage contract. You haven't even arranged for him now. Twenty years later, he can't even say whether he can marry a wife!"

   Zhao Song asked her, "What kind of daughter-in-law do you want to tell him? I think the ones I selected before are very good. If you listen to me, make an engagement for him two years ago. You married him before the war. Now the child is about to be born."

   Zhao Hanzhang was dumbfounded when he heard this process.

   Zhao Song’s mood improved a lot after a meal, and he brought the topic back with a cold face, "Twenty years, you can wait, but the people in the clan can’t wait, Sanniang, now there are some of us who are old enough to suppress, but how many years can we live if we are old? Now more and more people in the clan prefer Dalang to succeed the patriarch. If you don’t let Erlang marry and have children, I can’t hold them down anymore."

  The mountain people came up with trays to deliver tea to them, and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Sanniang, the grandfather and the master suppressed the dissent in the clan. Many people privately speculated that the grandfather wanted to compete for the position of the patriarch. Now our grandfather is often scolded in the clan."

  When Zhao Hanzhang heard it, his face was full of guilt, and he swallowed back the words he was about to refuse, and said instead: "I will find a wife for Erlang when I go back."

   Zhao Song's face looked much better when he heard this.

  Zhao Hanzhang picked up the teapot to make tea for Zhao Song, and said: "Nowadays, I have to trouble my uncle and uncle Ming to worry about the family affairs."

  Zhao Song stared at the tea she served, his face became more relaxed, took a sip and said: "Don't dislike us for being long-winded, it is really that you young people are too slow in doing things."

   "Marriage is what your parents ordered and the matchmaker said, but you young people like to find it yourself now. You need to have a good family background, you must also be educated and reasonable, and you must agree with each other. With so many requirements, who is willing to accommodate you?"

   Zhao Song was full of resentment when he said this, "Zhao Shen didn't get married at a young age, and Zhao Kuan didn't get married, so Zhao Yunxin followed suit. The young people of the right age in the clan were led by you to make them not get married. What do you want to do, so that you will be like grass in the future, raising your own heirs?"

  Zhao Hanzhang quickly clarified, "Uncle, I have a marriage contract and will soon be married. I am different from them."

  It’s okay if she doesn’t say anything, but Zhao Song gets even angrier when she talks about it, “You are the one who backed them up, otherwise how would they have the guts to keep rejecting the proposed marriage at home?”

   "What did you say that you want to be in the same mood as you and Ting Han, and achieve each other? He also said that career should be the most important thing, and he should first pacify the world and then start a family. Why, getting a family hinders him from pacifying the world? Do you know what starting a family is and starting a business? First get a family and then start a business. You have all forgotten the old ancestor's advice."

   "What's wrong with being married at home?" Zhao Song has been entangled by Zhao Dong and his wife for the past few days. He had been suppressed by the tea, but now he burst out again, "Are you and Ting Han the family's given kiss? Do you agree with each other?"

   "Your father and mother were also ordered by their parents back then, so they were also very loving. Why can't it be Erlang's turn now?"

   "Don't let us embarrass Erlang, Zhao Shen and the others use this as an excuse, and don't let us embarrass him, do you know that because of your words, the number of married people in the clan in the past two years is less than 60% of the previous years!"

  Zhao Hanzhang wiped his face and explained with difficulty: "Uncle, Erlang is because he is not enlightened. He is still like a child. I can't hurt other people's good girls. Cousin Shen and the others are different from Erlang. You can't blame me for not getting married."

   "When he has a wife, he will be enlightened, and he will become a father by himself, so he will no longer look like a child. You also open your eyes and look around you. How many single people are there around you?"

   "Up to the Zhongshuling, down to the servants, down to the county magistrate, count how many of you are married? Why, do you want to build a court of monks and nuns? Those who are married can't be officials?"

  Zhao Hanzhang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Uncle and grandfather dare not say that, we are now vigorously encouraging people to get married and have children."

   Dajin needs birth rate and labor force.

   "You know it too, so do you know what it means to lead by example?" Zhao Songdao: "First talk to Erlang about marriage, and then Mr. Ji and Mr. Ming around you will all get married. Zhao Shen and Zhao Kuan will all get married and have a few children. Follow the example. The people below see that you have such a good life after getting married, so naturally they will yearn for it. When the time comes, you don't need to encourage them, and they will all get married naturally."

  The mountain people on the side nodded approvingly, and stood by Zhao Song's side, "Daughter-in-law and children are hot on the kang, how many people can only dream of a happy event in their lives."

  When Zhao Hanzhang was released from the house, she was in a daze. She was dragged by Zhao Song to indoctrinate her with the concept of marriage for an hour, and then she was forced to agree to find wives for Ji Yuan, Ming Yu, Zhao Shen, Zhao Kuan and others, as well as husbands for Zhao Yunxin, Fan Ying, Chen Siniang and others.

  If it wasn't for her brains, she would have almost accepted the two cousins ​​he pre-selected for Ji Yuan and Ming.

   It's dangerous, it's dangerous, the two gentlemen almost became her brother-in-law.

  Standing outside the door, Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurried away with Zeng Yue and Ting He.

  In the middle of riding the horse, Zhao Hanzhang suddenly reined in the horse and looked back at Zeng Yue and Ting He.

   Zeng Yue and Ting He were taken aback by her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the girl?"

  Zhao Hanzhang asked quietly: "Aren't you married?"

   Zeng Yue and Ting He: ...Don't you know if they are married or not?

  Thinking so, but neither of them dared to reply, so they shook their heads quietly.

  Zhao Hanzhang let out a sigh of relief, and informed her on the same day that she would hold a court meeting the next day, and all qualified officials would attend the court meeting for her.

  So, even Xie Shi, who was training outside the city, rushed back to the city, and went to the palace to attend the court meeting early the next morning.

  At the court meeting, after discussing the major national affairs that need to be dealt with recently, Zhao Hanzhang announced: "This general and Fu Shangshu are about to get married, and it will be settled after a while. If there is no accident, they should get married before the end of the year."

  Manchu civil and military were jubilant, and they raised their hands happily to congratulate Zhao Hanzhang, and then turned around to congratulate Fu Tinghan.

  Fu Tinghan bent down to return the gift with a dazed expression, and subconsciously replied: "Congratulations, congratulations..."

  He was full of doubts, Zhao Hanzhang is not a person who shows off, and he doesn't distinguish between public and private, why did he say this at the court meeting?
