Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Now that I know that Chang Ying is the young lady of the Chang family, I don't dare to neglect the matter of marriage."

"I'm going to find my lord right now, and I must marry Chang Ying in a beautiful manner."

Listening to Ma Zhou's words, Chang Ying beside him was moved to tears again.

Even in her dreams, she never imagined that there would be such a day in her life.

At this time, Chang He persuaded his sister.

At the same time, he said to Ma Zhou, "Ma Zhou."

"Your thoughts, I understand."

"I am also extremely happy to see the two of you finally getting married."

"However, it's better to keep a low profile about the specifications of the marriage, so don't make a big fuss."

"One, my sister is a hard-working person after all."

"There's no need for another big fanfare."

"Moreover, it's also the most important thing."

"If the two of you get married, then the entire Changfu and I will be tied to the Furong Garden."

"This sub-relationship of my Chang family, if kept in the dark, may be of great use in the future."

"Ma Zhou, you are a smart person, and you should understand what I mean."

"So, when you turn around, you also invite your lord to come, and let's have a chat and sit down."

"Then your close relatives and friends will arrange the marriage between the two of you."

"What do you think, Ma Zhou?"

Chapter 680 Twenty Articles of Governance

What a smart man Ma Zhou is.

Not only did he understand what Chang He said, but he also read it deeper.

What Chang He said was not wrong.

This relationship is hidden behind the scenes, and it may really help Hibiscus Garden in the future.

But in more aspects, it is clearly distanced from Furong Garden.

So as not to be implicated by Furong Garden in the future.

After all, he, Ma Zhou, was just the chief manager of the Furong Garden, and he was not a direct relative of the King of Peking.

But from Chang He's point of view, it is correct to think so.

He always has to consider the interests of the entire Chang family.

Especially Furongyuan and her own prince are small experts in demining, and they will cause some disasters if they have nothing to do.

Ma Zhou could tell that both Chang He and Chang Ying were very low-key and well versed in the golden mean.

This is also a good thing.

At noon, Ma Zhou and his wife stayed in the mansion, having a lively drink with Chang He.

At the wine table, Chang He also talked about their family.

Especially how my parents loved my younger sister when they were alive.

Also, how hard is my sister's life and so on.

When Ma Zhou and Chang Ying left in a carriage, they were on their way back.

Ma Zhou, who was drunk, tried hard to sober himself.

"I'll take you home in a while."

"Then I went directly to my prince and asked him to help us witness the marriage and finalize the marriage."

"Look back, I will go to Chang'an City to buy a big house as our home."

At this time, their carriage was not far from the small courtyard where they lived.

After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Chang Ying raised the curtain of the car, pointed to a large and very luxurious mansion passing outside and said:

"Actually, you asked me before that this large mansion that has never been inhabited was left to me by my parents."

"It was left to me by my parents when they were still alive."

"It's definitely not my previous husband's family."

"Brother also said at noon that in our family, my parents love me very much."

"So it's not like other women's families who don't have any property."

"It's just that this mansion is really too big."

"I don't dare to live alone, so it's always empty, and someone cleans it every day."

"So after we get married, the two of us will live here."

"It's hard to buy such a large mansion in Chang'an City even if you have money."

"Actually, besides this place, I have a much smaller but very exquisite courtyard."

"I used to live there all the time."

"When I have nothing to do every day, I will rent out these idle houses."

"It wasn't until I met you that I lived with you in the most dilapidated small courtyard."

"And this stay is for several years."

"Now that I think about it sometimes, I'm used to living there, and it's pretty good..."

Hearing Chang Ying's words, Ma Zhou kept sighing in his heart.

As far as Chang Ying's family property is concerned, he is an absolutely rich man!

It seems that Li Chunfeng's divination was good before, and he is indeed a very wealthy person.

Also, I originally thought of sacrificing myself to accommodate such a kind-hearted poor woman who treats me extremely well and knows what's cold and what's hot.

As a result, he climbed a high branch by himself.

The contrast between before and after, sometimes even when he thinks about it, he finds it unimaginable and funny.

Now that their identities have been revealed, their marriage is basically settled.

There was no need for Chang Ying and Ma Zhou to continue crowding in this dilapidated small courtyard.

At this moment, Ma Zhou and his wife are naturally very grateful to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the two priests.

The two of them can also be regarded as matchmakers for Ma Zhou and Chang Ying.

Naturally, it is necessary to give thanks.

On the one hand, Chang Ying returned the rent for the two of them.

And he wanted to give the house deed of the entire courtyard to the two, but Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice tried their best to push him away.

And Ma Zhou also ordered someone to bring the best tea from the Furong Garden, and invited the two priests to taste it.

For this gift, Yuan Tiangang did not refuse, and he smiled happily and brilliantly.

After watching Ma Zhou and Chang Ying move away.

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and nodded to Li Chunfeng beside him.

"Chunfeng, you chose the house well this time."

"Once the two of them leave, the yard will be more quiet and comfortable!"

……

Later, the matter of Ma Zhou's upcoming marriage was stirred up in the Furong Garden.

This is obviously one of the most sensational things in recent times.

Li Qiu, after listening to Ma Zhou's request, also did his part.

So he became the witness of Ma Zhou's marriage.

And personally brought a generous gift, went to see Chang He.

After the meeting, he and Chang He also had a very speculative chat.

Everyone is a general, and there are more topics to communicate with.

And in his heart, Chang He also admired Li Qiu's bravery and the illustrious achievements he had made.

A few days later, under the witness of relatives and friends in a very small area.

Ma Zhou also finally completed his major event in life.

Coincidentally, at this stage, because it was in the depths of winter.

The entire Tang Dynasty, from top to bottom, is in a relatively quiet stage.

Li Shimin also took time out to issue an edict that civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above should go to the table without any scruples to discuss the policy of governing the country.

As well as the gains and losses in current state affairs.

Such things are naturally no strangers to civil servants.

But for a pure military general like Chang He, he was somewhat worried.

So on this day, when my sister and brother-in-law came over for dinner.

He brought this matter up, saying that Ma Zhou was talented, so he asked Ma Zhou to help.

Over the years, Ma Zhou has indeed done a lot of work in disaster relief, transfer of refugees, and distribution of supplies from various places.

There are also many experiences.

So in less than half an hour, a very beautifully written, eloquent twenty-point article on governance.

That's it.

Seeing this, Chang He was overjoyed, so he passed it into the palace.

Soon, it was read by the current sage Li Shimin.

As soon as the booklet was opened, Li Shimin, who loves calligraphy, couldn't help saying hello.

The handwriting on this booklet is very neat and beautiful.

It is pleasing to the eye.

And then, when he saw the very insightful, insightful, and extraordinary content in it.

Even Longyan Dayue.

Then hurriedly turned back to the front to see who wrote this note?

Generally speaking, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji are the only ones who can write such content and suggestions.

But Li Shimin could read their handwriting.

It's definitely not the same person as Zhezi.

Afterwards, he turned to the front of the notebook, and the name of General Chang He was impressively written on it.

This time, Li Shimin's nose was almost crooked.

Chapter 681 My Life Belongs to the Prince

This is often why, I am afraid that I can't even write all the words in it.

The handwriting is even more ugly.

How could it be possible to write such a beautiful article?

Therefore, Li Shimin immediately ordered to announce Chang He into the palace.

Soon, Chang He came to the imperial study and met Li Shimin.
