Chapter 6889 Lost in the East
“With Brother Wenxing’s ability, now that we have a draft, as long as the body strength of the veterans who bear the battle patterns is suitable, we should be able to design it in a very short time.” Wang Can even stood up and saluted. He knew that he was making things difficult for the other party, but he had to get all the strength he should get.
“If the veteran’s physical strength is suitable, it is not impossible to do it. It is not impossible to make a set of techniques temporarily to use. The problem is that we don’t have any experienced people who can acupuncture the battle patterns.” Pei Qian also knew what Wang Can was thinking, and he was at the most sympathetic time about this matter recently, so he was willing to try hard to persuade Wang Can.
"Brother Pei, you haven't married yet, right?" Wang Can suddenly changed the subject.
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Wang Can suddenly changed the topic, and the jump was so big, but he still nodded.
"I know that there is an unmarried woman in a family who possesses spiritual talent. Moreover, she is very compatible with the techniques you have mastered now. Her ability is unparalleled. Brother Pei, why don't you give it a try?" Wang Can suddenly changed the subject, and as soon as this topic came out, Pei Qian, who had been sitting in an arrogant posture, suddenly sat up straight with his chest puffed out.
Even Zhang Fan, the head of the older generation of the family who came to take charge and prevent conflicts between Wang Can and Pei Qian, lit up when he heard the news.
After all, this is a woman with spiritual talent. Marrying one will bring prosperity to three generations.
Although Hanoi Zhang family is very stable as a whole, they are absolutely sure to maintain it regardless of whether there are spiritually gifted people or not. However, Hanoi Zhang family will not reject female spiritually gifted people who are willing to marry into the family. Moreover, Hanoi Zhang family is very open-minded, and their only requirement for female spiritually gifted people is that they must be female and alive. Of course, if both cannot be met at the same time, then they only require that they must be alive.
Well, for large families, their requirements for female spiritual talent possessors are actually just that they have to be female and alive. Other additional attributes, such as noble birth or beauty that can captivate all women are nonsense. What these people want is brains, and other things are not important.
Even if they could choose, they would prefer a woman who looks ordinary, comes from an ordinary family, and is just the right age.
Marrying another woman, her status and appearance are just bonuses.
Marrying someone with spiritual talent, status, looks, all those things are debuffs!
Just like a research institute wants to recruit a girl to do scientific research, should it recruit a Nobel Prize winner with average looks and average family conditions, or a 985 beauty with a stunning appearance and noble status who can attract bees and butterflies? Normal people will know to recruit the former.
The same is true for those with spiritual talents, so when Wang Can said that he had such a resource, Pei Qian immediately sat up straight.
"Please tell me something, I will be very grateful." Pei Qian sat up straight at first, then perhaps feeling disrespectful, he stood up and saluted Wang Can.
"I came here just to tell you about this." Wang Can said with a sigh. Although they wanted to keep this resource in their Shanyang Wang family, it was because they could not offer this price. In this case, they might as well sell it and get one for Wei family's gable.
Pei Qian was extremely excited. Although he had thought about marrying a woman with spiritual talents before, there were only a few girls with spiritual talents in the world, and all of them were already taken. Pei Qian was extremely depressed about this.
There was no other way. Although the Wenxi Pei family was considered a wealthy family in those days, there were only a few women with spiritual talents. There were too many people and too little money. What could Pei Qian do? Pei Qian could only follow the crowd and let his father find a girl of equal status to marry.
Given the current situation of the Wenxi Pei family, if Pei Mao were to find a wife for Pei Qian, it would most likely be either the Henei Zhang family or the Qinghe Zhang family, or the Shanyang Wang family, or the Xingyang Zheng family.
It's not that it's bad, it's just that living with a wife like this, you can see the end at a glance. However, Pei Qian really has no choice about this. He even knows that Pei Mao is trying to find a wife for him recently. Although it hasn't been finalized, the news has definitely been spread. If the negotiations with a certain family are almost going well, they will capture Pei Qian to meet him. As long as they don't hate each other, they will get married directly.
Pei Qian's attitude towards this is that as long as she is acceptable, it's fine. It doesn't matter which family he marries, they are all so-called ladies from wealthy families, and there will be no problem for them to manage the household chores. Moreover, those who can be the mistress of the Pei family are also those who are very outstanding in terms of ability and appearance.
There was nothing to choose from. As long as his father thought she was suitable, it would be fine. He would just marry a wife. If he felt she was not suitable, he could just find a few beautiful concubines to fill the gap. Oh, he didn't even need to find beautiful concubines himself. When a wealthy family married off their daughter, they would give her a few beautiful concubines as dowry. This was also the final outcome of most concubines' daughters. Therefore, Pei Qian felt that there was no need for him to dwell on such trivial matters.
By the way, Zheng Ling's fundamental dislike for Zheng of Xingyang was because she discovered when she was a child that no matter how smart she was, she would eventually end up as a dowry maid. This was a girl that a T0-level education expert like Zheng Xuan believed would develop spiritual talent if she studied hard.
For a character like this, even if Chen Xi hadn't been so lucky as to marry her through a blind date, this would have been her ending. The fact that she didn't drive herself crazy shows that she has become mentally strong.
The castration and suppression of human nature by the wealthy and powerful families is also reflected in this aspect. Of course, for a capable eldest son like Pei Qian, as long as he does not struggle recklessly and faces reality, he will live a life of peace and joy for a hundred years until the end of his life.
Well, it’s not good to be too smooth. People like Pei Qian also have some other ideas.
Pei Qian no longer had any interest in the noble status of his other half. Let’s put it this way, if the royal family could get someone, his family could also get someone similar.
What thousand-year-old lineage, what noble family of Qin and Han Dynasty, what generations of nobles? As long as the Pei family is rooted in the Persian Gulf, coupled with Pei Qian's amazing expressiveness and his handsome face that has left a name in history, any well-known family, as long as there are people of the right age, can give it a try.
He may not be able to marry her, because there will inevitably be engagements with other families in advance, but when Pei Mao goes to propose marriage, the conditions of his own eldest son are absolutely impressive. He is truly a top-notch, wealthy son-in-law. Even if the target already has a buyer, the family that is visited will be willing to marry as long as there is a suitable one. After all, the conditions are really good!
But who can blame women with spiritual talents who are in a completely different world from the above-mentioned girls from noble families? They are definitely another kind of creature, which gives Pei Qian the real motivation to pursue them!
What's more, if he brings back a person with spiritual talent, even if his father Pei Mao says that he has found a partner for him, he can still say that I have a better one and I want to marry this one! As for the one you found, go and explain it to others. What kind of resistance to feudalism is this!
So after Wang Can mentioned that there was such an opportunity, Pei Qian became excited.
"Whose girl?" Zhang Fan asked curiously. It's not that he didn't have any ideas, but he couldn't say it at this time. After confirming the other party's identity, he, the head of the Hanoi Zhang family, would personally go out and try to arrange a marriage for his own hero. My Hanoi Zhang family also has young heroes!
"The Zhao family of Xuzhou." Wang Can had no intention of hiding anything and directly told the answer. Both of them were stunned, and then they realized instantly, isn't this Zhao Jian's family?
"Is there a female possessor of spiritual talent in their family?" Zhang Fan looked at Wang Can with some surprise. His family had a good relationship with the Zhao family of Xuzhou, and also with the Zhao family of Jingzhao. They also had a good relationship with the ancestors of these two Zhao families, and they even had contacts with each other now. But the Zhao family had a female possessor of spiritual talent, and they, the Zhang family of Henei, didn't even know about it.
Bullshit. Zhao Jian, the head of the Xuzhou Zhao family, is not stupid. Allies are allies, treasures are treasures, and things like interests should be maximized if they can be maximized!
In this case, how could he inform his ally, Zhang family of Hanoi, and let Zhang family of Hanoi know in advance? What would he do if his niece, who is not very smart but has spiritual talent, was deceived?
Although marrying out is a loss, one has to consider how much the loss is!
"Well, she is seventeen years old. Zhao Jian, the head of the Zhao family, feels that she is already seventeen years old and must get married. He has asked Zhao Da to send her to Chang'an. He is going to select a talented person from the grand court assembly, the aristocratic family alliance, and even the grand martial arts performance. It would be best if she is willing to marry into the family, but if she is not willing, marrying her off is also acceptable. In short, the Zhao family is ready to marry off their daughter." Wang Can informed Zhang Fan and Pei Qian of the intelligence collected by their Shanyang Wang family.
Only the Shanyang Wang family knew about this. Other families, including several major allies of the Zhao family, actually didn't know the news. There was no way. The Zhao family had been hiding it very well. It was only when Zhao Man was getting married this year that they reduced the intensity of the information blockade. The Shanyang Wang family was recently preparing to deal with the Wei family, and the Zhao and Wei families were mixed together. The Shanyang Wang family conducted high-intensity intelligence gathering, and as a result, the news was dug out.
When Wang Bin dug up this information, he was dumbfounded and even prepared to help his son. However, he found out that his own son Zhao's requirements required him to marry into the family. Then, looking around at the younger generation in his own family, they could not be said to be waste per capita, but they were indeed not qualified to control the possessors of spiritual talents.
Since their own family is not capable of doing it, then they have to look at their allies, and it is obvious that Pei Qian, the eldest son of the core ally, is very suitable. They are simply a match made in heaven. Not to mention Pei Qian's identity as a heaven-defying pioneer, and it will be sooner or later that he will reveal his spiritual talent. The heaven-defying battle pattern technology in his hands alone is enough to convince the Zhao family, not to mention that this technology really requires acupuncture-related technology, and Zhao Man really has it!
This isn’t a match made in heaven, what is this!
Go ahead, pull Zhao on board, kill several birds with one stone, and kill the old Wei family!
With this idea in mind, Wang Bin sent all the relevant information to Wang Can, asking him to inform Pei Qian of the news at the right time, and then work hard to make this happen. Although this action would greatly strengthen his allies, under normal circumstances, the aristocratic families should never make such a choice. But the three families in the Persian Gulf are facing Rome's criticism recently.
Considering the strength of the Roman Empire, even if the Pei family had ten spiritual talent owners, let alone one, it would be more beneficial than harmful to them!
"Is it really so?" Pei Qian's eyes even shone with light. This was a manifestation of the perfection of his spirit. It was also the key point that Pei Mao believed that he must protect his son even if he had taken the wrong path. This was one of the necessary conditions for unlocking his spiritual talent!
"Really? Currently, this news is still blocked, and there are probably only a few families who know about this. So if you have any ideas, Brother Pei, remember not to delay." Wang Can held down Pei Qian's hand that was holding his arm, his expression extremely solemn.
"Brother Zhongxuan, regardless of whether this succeeds or not, I will try my best to help with the subsequent battle patterns, but whether it can be completed is still uncertain." Pei Qian let go and saluted Wang Can very solemnly.
"Brother Pei, just do your best." Wang Can said calmly. His goal from the very beginning was to gain all the power that should be gained.
"How about this, I'll help you write a visiting card and send it to the Zhao family." Zhang Fan coughed twice, indicating that it might not be easy for you two young people to do this, and I will take you there when the time comes. After all, compared to the Pei and Wang families, the Zhang family of Hanoi and the Zhao family of Xuzhou have indeed always had dealings.
"Uncle, please present the visiting card." Pei Qian thought about it for a moment and understood Zhang Fan's idea. Zhang Fan said that he would take him and Wang Can with him, but as the head of the Zhang family, if he brought people to visit the Zhao family, how could he only bring the younger generations of other families? He would definitely bring the younger generations of his own family as well. However, Pei Qian had absolute confidence in his abilities.
"Good, good, good." Zhang Fan said with satisfaction, stroking his beard. In this way, his nephews and nephews would also have a fair chance to compete. Although the chance was not big, his family and the Zhao family had been friends for generations, so he had to give them some face no matter what.
With such a big thing happening, other things were naturally put aside. Pei Qian no longer had the heart to walk the dog or fight the cock. Instead, he took a bath and burned incense, and used insider information to write a letter to inform his father. After all, such a big thing must be made known to his father, and to capture the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, it would cost a lot of money!
Although Pei Qian is smart and has a plan in mind, there are still some things that need to be considered again and again. After all, Pei Qian not only lives for himself, but also eats and drinks from his family. He also has to consider the future of his family, right?
Zhang Fan did what he said and sent the visiting card to Zhao's house in Chang'an that day. At that time, Zhao Da and Zhao Man were drinking tea with Huangfu Jianshou. As for Huangfu Song, Zhao Da had not seen him. Zhao Da could only say that it was God's will and let it go.
So after drinking tea with Huangfu Jianshou for a while, Zhao Da took his sister and left the Huangfu family. There was no other way. Even if they wanted to form an alliance with the Huangfu family, Zhao Da sent his visiting card. After the Huangfu family received the visiting card, when the two brothers and sisters came together, they were unable to see Huangfu Song. Even though Huangfu Jianshou accompanied them throughout the trip, it was still quite uncomfortable for Zhao Da and his sister.
"Brother, is the general so arrogant?" Zhao Man spoke out in a somewhat angry voice after the carriage left the Huangfu family. Even though Huangfu Jianshou saw Zhao Man out the door and asked him to step on the stone to get into the carriage when they left, he still did not suppress the anger in Zhao Man's heart.
Although she came here to see what was going on and was preparing to get married, she encountered a situation where she sent a visiting card but failed to meet the person. If Huangfu Jianshou had not repeatedly expressed his apologies, Zhao would have become enemies with the Huangfu family this time.
You should know that the root cause of the feud between Dou Ying and Tian Fen in the early Han Dynasty was that Tian Fen sent a visiting card but did not go to Dou Ying on time. Because of this, the two sides started a life-and-death struggle.
Zhao Da and Zhao Man came to the Huangfu family with a formal invitation. In addition to using the name of Xuzhou Zhao, they also used the name of Jingzhao Zhao. As a result, Huangfu Song didn't even meet them. Did he really think we were losers?
"Maybe there is something wrong." Zhao Da replied indifferently.
"Then you could leave a letter and ask Guannei Hou to pass it to us, why didn't you leave anything?" There was a hint of annoyance in Zhao Man's voice due to contempt.
The reason why Huangfu Jianshou got a title was very simple. Huangfu Song's merits were too many to count, so he gave his son the title of Guannei Hou.
"Maybe we are not destined to be together, but that's fine. You can go to Chang'an and see if there are any talented people who can catch your eye." Zhao Da said with an open mind, "As for the fact that the general looks down on local families like us, it's normal. After all, we haven't had any three officials for many years since we separated. We can't serve in the same court with the general, so how can we catch his eye?"
Zhao Man snorted when he heard this, "Brother, you must be eager to abandon me and go after your Imperial Censor Zhao or Imperial Censor Xu, right?"
"Who who studies mathematics doesn't want to? I have finally finished compiling the Nine Palaces Calculation, and it's just right for you two masters to comment on it." Zhao Da had no interest in his beautiful and talented sister. He just wanted to send this girl away quickly and then go to Zhao Shuang and Xu Yue to communicate.
"You didn't even bother to let me take a look at the Nine Palaces Calculation you compiled to learn and appreciate it, and now that you've come to Chang'an you're so eager to bring it out for others to appreciate? I'm your sister, right? We have the same parents, right?" Zhao Man felt her resentment grow even greater. She also knew math and when she was younger, she had studied Cai Yan's women's class at Mount Tai with Zhen Mi, Mi Zhen, and Sun Min.
Zhao Man even had an experience where she was studying with Ji Xiang, and then the mountain gate was suddenly destroyed by Li You. Then, because she was only seven or eight years old, she was sent to study with Cai Yan.
After all, they were from the Zhao family of Xuzhou. They surrendered early, and if the nobles for generations did not cause trouble, they could be considered as targets of united front work. So Zhao Man just followed those sisters and learned from them.
At that time, Cai Yan commented that these girls were all gifted, and as long as they studied at an age suitable for learning, it would be natural for them to develop spiritual talents.
However, after so many years, among the sisters who studied with her, Zhao Man only heard that the second lady, sister Wang Yi, and Mi Zhen had developed spiritual talents, but the others seemed to have lost their talents.
Oh, the class for that old lady who was taking the free class was also open, but the others were not.
"Do you understand?" Zhao Da asked defiantly.
"I don't understand, but that's not your reason for not letting me see it." Zhao Man said with a depressed look in her chest, "Forget it, send me back and you can go visit those two. I don't want to go out either. I'll watch the martial arts performance and find a husband when it's done. "
"Okay." Zhao Da said concisely, which fully proved his true mentality. For a math guy, any girl, whether she is his own or given by others, will not make him happier than finding another math guy.
What's the use of girls? Are there any math problems that are fun?
While Zhao Man and Zhao Da were scolding Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song was arranging a marriage for his grandson. The person he was proposing to was Weiwei Ruan Gong. He was not at home today just to finalize the matter.
After all, whether Ruan Huihui is a spiritual talent or not, Huangfu Song can still confirm it if he really wants to use tricks. After all, he is a figure who has been in power for decades, with all kinds of connections and subordinates, so he can always be sure of it. So when he went to Ruan Gong to discuss this for the first time, Huangfu Song brought a professional, Sima Yi.
There was nothing to say. Sima Yi came over at the general's command, and then used his spiritual talent to clearly feel the spiritual talent that was about to be born in the inner room. In an instant, Sima Yi understood what Huangfu Song wanted to do, but could he stop this? No!
After Sima Yi's confirmation, Huangfu Song talked to Ruan Gong about the alliance when he first visited him. Of course, Huangfu Song said it was an alliance, but from the tone of his voice, Ruan Gong could tell without using his brain to analyze that the other party simply did not trust him and wanted to tie him up by force.
Well, Ruan Gong could totally understand it. After all, the corpse feast, the demons gathering in Yunmeng Lake, the troubles left by Wu Qi in Chu and so on, if these things really broke out, even the Han Empire might not be able to suppress them. In this case, it was natural for the general not to trust himself, the Weiwei.
After all, Ruan Gong knew very well what his level was, so when Huangfu Song rushed over to bind him afterwards, Ruan Gong not only did not think there was a problem, but also felt it was natural.
But what about the binding method proposed by Huangfu Song? Ruan Gong not only did not feel uncomfortable, he even couldn't suppress his smile.
Come to think of it, Huangfu Song hadn't been back for so many years, so he had no idea what his daughter looked like. He only thought that she was the only legitimate daughter of his Ruan family. Although marriage seemed to be useless, it was indeed the best way to bring her into the group.
What's more, in Ruan Gong's view, this was a huge profit for him. With his daughter's looks, Ruan Gong was worrying about how to arrange a suitable in-law for his daughter. Now Huangfu Song sent his grandson to his door. Isn't this a perfect match?
