Zhang Qi thought that although his Zhang family was still flourishing, under the seemingly prosperous surface, it was becoming increasingly difficult to sustain it. With no successors, he could only rely on marriage to maintain everything now.
The Liu Jin in front of him has a bright future. The key is that he comes from a poor family. Such a person has no foundation. If the Zhang family can unite with the other party.
With the support of the Zhang family, Liu Jin will be able to move more smoothly, and in turn, he can become a support for the Zhang family. This investment will definitely not be a loss.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi also asked tentatively: "How old is Mr. Liu this year?"
"Eighteen years old~"
Liu Jin¡¯s eyes lit up slightly and he smiled and replied.
"The other party must have already found out all about my details, and now he is asking about my age. This means that he must be asking about his life events next.
"Eighteen years old is not young. Have you ever been married?"
Zhang Qi touched his mustache and asked with a smile.
"My mother has never mentioned this, but I have been concentrating on my studies and thinking about my life-long affairs after passing the exam."
Liu Jin¡¯s reply was naturally very mellow. In fact, the meaning behind it is very simple. I am only thinking about taking the imperial examination and don¡¯t want to marry my wife yet, so I don¡¯t want to marry her.
Zhang Qi nodded slightly after hearing this. He naturally understood the meaning of Liu Jin¡¯s words. He smiled and said: "The man is about to get married and the woman is about to get married. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that you should get married first and then start a career."
"Mr. Liu has great ambitions, but we can't delay getting married and establishing a career. I wonder if there is a girl that I like?"
Although he understood the meaning of Liu Jin's words, he still decided to invest as much as possible in Liu Jin's potential stock. Anyway, the old Zhang family was very fertile. There were many girls waiting to be married in this family, so marrying one to Liu Jin would be considered a good idea. A low-cost, potentially high-return investment.
¡°Not yet~¡±
Liu Jin shook his head and replied, Zhang Qi was determined to introduce his wife to him. In this case, let¡¯s check the situation first. Anyway, if she is beautiful, she will not suffer any loss. If she is not beautiful, she can refuse.
¡°That¡¯s really great~¡±
When Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately laughed happily and said: "Master Liu, I think you are a talented person, and you will have a bright future. Well, I have several family friends and several brothers in the clan. I have just enough to support you at home." Among the girls you are marrying, there are many who are well-educated, virtuous, and talented. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"
"Thank you sir for your kindness~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he naturally stood up to express his gratitude, and then said with a slight ponder: "Autumn is coming this year, and now I am preparing to read only the books of sages and ignore the things outside the window, so as to work hard and pass the exam in one go. Lift people.¡±
"Sir, you also know that whether it is the path of the imperial examination or being able to serve Tianzi in the future, the sooner and younger the better."
"So at this time, I have no plans to start a family. After the autumn is over, no matter whether I win the imperial examination or not, I will definitely start a family and start a business. Even if my husband doesn't tell me, I will shamelessly ask him for help."
There is no other way but to continue to postpone it. When it comes to the imperial examination, it is definitely the biggest thing, and other things must make way for it.
¡°That¡¯s right, it makes a lot of sense. If I had understood this truth earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have failed the exam.¡±
"In this case, I will force it. I hope Mr. Liu will pass high school in one fell swoop and be named on the gold medal list next year. If he can get the top prize in the exam, then our entire Changli County will be honored."
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, Zhang Qi thought about it and nodded with emotion.
He got married early back then. It may not be a good thing for this young man to get married early. Sometimes, greed for pleasure can easily ruin his studies, so he failed in many tests, especially when he got older. In the end, he just gained the reputation of being a scholar.
"Sir, I have won the prize. If you can pass the examination, you will burn high incense. I really don't dare to dream about being named on the gold medal list or arranging flowers and parading in the streets."
Liu Jin smiled and said modestly.
Next, the two of them continued to chat with each other. While chatting, they also talked about celebrities in Changli County and Yongping Prefecture.
"After all, our northern region is still not as good as the southern region. The imperial examination cannot pass the southern scholars, and the people who serve as officials in the court are also far inferior to the southern region."
"Among our people from Changli County, there is only one magistrate from the fifth rank. This man is named Tang Zhengliang. Perhaps Mr. Liu will have the opportunity to serve as an official in the same court as him in the future."
Zhang Qi is very familiar with the situation in Changli County and even the entire Yongping Prefecture. He is even more familiar with the talented people in his place.
"Tang Zhengliang?"
When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. This person's surname was also Tang. Could it be related to Tang Hu? Thinking of this, Liu Jin also tried to ask: "It is also very remarkable to be a governor of the fifth grade. I think this Tang The Tang family in Zhizhou is also a scholarly family, so it is possible to cultivate such a great person."
"Young Master Liu may not know something. In fact, Tang Zhizhou's family is poor, and he relied on the imperial examination to get where he is today step by step. The Tang family of Tang Zhizhou is now the most prosperous family in Changli County, and you are related to him. Tang Huhu, who is celebrating the festival, is actually the younger brother of Tang Zhizhou."
Zhang Qi smiled and shook his head, and then told the relationship between Tang Huhu and Tang Zhengliang.
The Tang family has Tang Zhengliang, a fifth-grade magistrate, as its backer. Now is the time when the limelight is at its peak. As a long-established family in Changli County, the Zhang family has naturally been impacted by the Tang family.
The Tang family started a fierce competition with the Zhang family in many aspects such as fields, shops, salt business, etc. The Zhang family was weakening day by day and could only rely on marriage to support it, so it was also at a disadvantage. It was a bit miserable for the Tang family and they lost. Lots of benefits.
Naturally, Zhang Qi silently recorded this in his heart. The Zhang family can't defeat the Tang family now, but this does not mean that Zhang Qi is the target of bullying.
Now that Liu Jin happened to mention this matter, he naturally said it in passing. Although Liu Jin is young, he can still be regarded as a potential stock. If he can make a difference in the future, perhaps in a few decades, when Liu Jin is in his prime, Then you can eat the good fruit of the Tang family.
¡°That¡¯s it~Thank you sir for your advice.¡±
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately understood that the Tang family was actually the leeches who didn't have enough to eat, so they became even more powerful in sucking blood. They relied on having a backer to seize the benefits.
¡°Obviously, the Tang family not only usurped the interests of countless lower-class people, but also harmed the interests of established families such as the Zhang family.
Liu Jin also estimated that the conflict between the Zhang family and the Tang family must be deep. After all, the cake is as big as it is. If the Tang family takes one more bite, the Zhang family will take one less bite. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
