Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

She really didn't know if there was a day when Ma Zhou moved out of her yard in the future.

Can she still have the courage to live on?

Looking at the unbelievable expression on Zhang's face in front of him.

Ma Zhou took a deep breath, and then repeated firmly: "I, Ma Zhou, am willing to marry you!"

"Don't let anyone make fun of you again."

"I won't let you be that miserable, poor person anymore."

"Over the years, under the care of the prince, I have also saved a lot of money."

"I will buy a big house in Chang'an City."

"We must marry you into the family in a good manner."

"At that time, I will ask our prince to witness our marriage."

"My lord, he treats us with great kindness, just like his own family, and he will definitely appreciate it."

"I don't know if you are willing to promise to be with me..."

Listening to Ma Zhou's words, the widow Mrs. Zhang felt as if she was dreaming.

The tears accumulated over the years gushed out like a spring.

Then nodded vigorously.

……

The next day, with a shy face, Mrs. Zhang met Ma Zhou again in the courtyard.

That night, she was frightened and tossed and turned.

I was afraid that Ma Zhou would regret it this morning, and the good luck she had spent decades waiting for would disappear in an instant.

But fortunately, Ma Zhou's eyes remained firm.

full of love.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang let go of the hanging heart.

Then a greater joy rushed to my heart.

The two of them, after a simple, more formal chat.

Mrs. Zhang said slowly: "My previous husband's family was named Zhang."

"So I have been the Zhang family for more than ten years."

"Actually, my surname is Chang, and my name is Chang Ying."

"In Chang'an City, I still have a brother and relatives."

"I don't know if you would like to come with me to meet my brother?"

Hearing her words, Ma Zhou suddenly realized.

It turned out that she also had an elder brother in Chang'an City, which she had never heard of before.

He only thought that Chang Ying was just a lonely person living in a few small houses.

And this Chang Ying's name is far better than the previous widow Zhang's.

Hearing this, Ma Zhou naturally nodded, and then planned to take Chang Ying to the West Market to buy gifts in his own carriage.

Before coming to the luxurious carriage exclusive to Furong Garden, Ma Zhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"In the past, all the affairs I needed to do every day were the official duties of Furong Garden."

"So it doesn't matter whether this carriage is private or public."

"But after that, I didn't expect that I would have my own private affairs."

"It seems that I have to buy a family carriage by myself, and it will be more convenient to use."

"Over the years, the lord has treated me with great kindness, and the money I have saved is at least as much as a thousand taels of gold."

"I haven't counted the exact number. Anyway, every time the prince gives a reward, I will put them in the Furong Garden."

"Safe, don't worry."

"And don't worry, the money is all rewarded by the prince, it's fair and square."

Listening to his words, Chang Ying smiled slightly.

"If you think it's inconvenient and inconvenient to use the official carriage for private affairs, then take my carriage..."

Hearing her words, Ma Zhou, who is as smart as Ma Zhou, was a little dizzy.

What a luxurious thing is that carriage?

The status is simply equivalent to the Rolls-Royce of later generations.

Where is it that ordinary people can have?

Chapter 679 General Chang He

The horses that pull the cart alone cost 20 taels of silver for the worst ones.

How much money can Chang Ying earn in the small yard where she lives?

And how is it possible to have a carriage of your own?

Afterwards, Ma Zhou was confused and came to the alley behind the house with an expression of disbelief.

There is actually a carriage here.

The two drivers who were driving the carriage hurriedly saluted Chang Ying respectfully and called her Miss.

As the general manager of the entire Furong Garden, Ma Zhou has been managing the business of Furong Restaurant and Dongshi Restaurant.

How vicious is that eyesight?

It was obvious at a glance that these two coachmen were definitely well-trained bodyguards.

Judging from his background, he is definitely an elite in the army.

As for Chang Ying's semi-old carriage, although it is not as advanced and gorgeous as the one in Furong Garden.

But it is definitely the kind of big family, commonly used in the mansion.

Everything he saw before his eyes was definitely not what the poor widow Mrs. Zhang should have in his impression.

Then the carriage finally stopped.

The two coachmen also raised the curtain respectfully, and asked Chang Ying and Ma Zhou to go down.

The next moment, Ma Zhou looked up and almost lost the power in his head.

On the plaque in front of the gate of the mansion, there are two large characters of Chang Mansion.

"This... isn't this the residence of General Zuo Tunwei, Taizhong Doctor, and General Chang?"

Looking at Ma Zhou's astonished expression.

Chang Ying smiled a little embarrassedly, "I said it all, my surname is Chang."

"Father, he used to be a doctor in the imperial court, but he passed away early."

"Now there is only such a brother left in the world, Chang He."

This Chang family can be regarded as a big family with ancestral shadows.

Chang He, even in history, is also very famous.

It was precisely because of Chang He's participation that the change of Xuanwumen at the beginning helped Li Shimin become a major event.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was also greatly rewarded for his achievements as a king.

Extreme trust.

Whether in the army or in the court, he is also quite an influential person.

Even in Ma Zhou's dreams, he would never have imagined that this widow, Mrs. Zhang, was actually the eldest lady of Changfu.

Chang He's own sister!

At this moment, the gate of Chang Mansion opened, and Chang He greeted him personally.

"younger sister!"

"Master Ma."

"You don't know."

"After receiving your news, I have been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

"I finally waited for you."

"Come on, come inside and say..."

Next, accompanied by Chang Ying, Ma Zhou, who was at a loss, was led in very intimately by Chang He.

After being seated, a servant girl serves tea.

Chang He also habitually said to Ma Zhou: "Ma Zhou, come and taste this tea."

"It's because I paid a lot of money and worked so hard to get it from Furong..."

Halfway through the talk, he heard his younger sister sniggering.

Then I noticed something was wrong.

"Hey, what kind of tea do you think I'm showing off in front of you, the head manager of Furong Garden?"

"I heard from my sister that even the tea you make casually in your small dilapidated house is better than the tea I bought at a big price!"

"From now on, you will become my brother-in-law. You must keep this good tea for me."

"By the way, when you, the King of Peking, start a business, no one is really dissatisfied."

"As for the good tea from your side, even if you have money, you can't buy it."

"As a result, those of us who like to drink tea are all thinking about where to get some top-quality tea all day long!"

At this time, Ma Zhou also shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General Chang, to tell you the truth."

"I didn't know Chang Ying's identity and her relationship with you, General, until just now."

"This... this, really, oh..."

Seeing Ma Zhou's tangled expression, Chang He laughed out loud.

Then he patted him friendly, "Ma Zhou, let me tell you, my sister is also a stubborn character."

"She has always been interested in you, but she is afraid that she is not good enough for you."

"So this matter has been dragged on until now."

"In the past few years, I have been anxious to treat me as an older brother."

"Even several times, I wanted to find you directly to clarify the matter."

"But I was afraid that my sister would be angry, so I didn't dare."

"Let's just say you two, one is a lady from a rich family, and the other is the chief manager of the dignified Furong Garden."

"I have to squeeze into that dilapidated small house every day."

"Even I can't see past it."

"What's the trouble?"

Having said that, Chang He turned serious and asked Ma Zhou very seriously.

"Ma Zhou, let me ask you a solemn question here."

"Have you made up your mind to marry my sister?"

This is the end of the matter, Ma Zhou also told him very firmly.

"I have made up my mind that I will marry Chang Ying."

"Even if it's that poor woman who had no money and status before, I'm extremely determined to marry her!"
