Jincheng in early spring is suddenly warm and then cold.

In addition, it has rained in the past two days, which makes people feel a little damp and cold.

Guan Xing is reading a book at his desk in his room.

A stove was installed in the house, and the long chimney extended outside, so there was no smoke in the house.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly, driving away the moisture and coldness in the room.

At this time, I saw a person walking in from outside the house and said, "Anguo, are you reading again?"

When Guan Xing heard this, he looked up and said, "It's Xingwu."

He pointed to the table in front of him and said, "Sit wherever you like."

Zhang Bao went in and out of Guan Mansion as if he were at home, and did not need to be reported by his servants. After he found a place to sit down by himself, he asked, "What book is An Guo reading again?"

Guan Xing raised the book in his hand. It looked very brand-new. He shook it and said, "The book Sanniang brought back is called "Daily Drills in the Army". It is said to be the latest one printed by Hanzhong."

"This name sounds like it has something to do with the military?"

Zhang Bao asked curiously.

"It is indeed relevant." Guan Xing put down the book, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Has Xingwu ever remembered the movements led by Zhao Yiwen and Wang Zishi during the Southern Expedition last year?"

"Of course I remember."

At that time, the troops led by Zhao Guang and Wang Xun had only a hundred people, but they were the most unique.

Not only was the response the fastest every time when gathering, the ranks were extremely orderly, hundreds of people obeyed orders and acted as if they were one person, and there were rules for marching and setting up camps.

If it weren't for the fact that they lacked a bloody murderous aura, Zhang Bao would have thought they were rare elite soldiers.

After finally asking, I found out that except for those who were following Zhao Guang, who were the personal guards of the Zhao family, the rest were all brought from Nanxiang.

"I heard that those tribes first used Nanxiang's military training methods to train soldiers who could understand military orders, and then they began to teach them military formations and fighting skills. Their military training methods are somewhat different from other places."

"I've heard about this too." Zhang Bao nodded, looking at the book in Guan Xing's hand, his eyes lit up, "Could this book be Nanxiang's military training method?"

Guan Xing nodded, "I heard from Sanniang that those songs during the Southern Expedition were just Feng..."

When the word "Feng" is mentioned, Guan Xing feels like something is stuck in his throat and he always has to pause.

"Feng Mingwen? Is it really him?"

Zhang Bao asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, it was indeed him. Those parts during the Southern Expedition were just his attempts, and they seemed to work well at the time. So he improved them based on the problems that arose during the Southern Expedition and re-edited this canon."

Guan Xingyang raised the book in his hand and said, "Sanniang gave me a copy."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Zhang Bao was overjoyed, "An Guo, your brother-in-law..."

As soon as Guan Xing heard the word "brother-in-law" and thought about all the things he had done in Nanzhong, his expression suddenly changed.

Zhang Bao naturally knew that Guan Xing had always disliked Feng Yong, but it was not him who wanted to marry a girl, so he could not speak objectively.

"Anguo, I'm not saying that. Sanniang's vision is indeed quite good. Although this Feng Mingwen behaves a little eccentrically, he is a talented person, especially when it comes to caring for the people and running the country, which is beyond the comparison of you and me.

We have to recognize it."

"Look at how long it has only been for him to be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. In a few more years, it won't be difficult to grant the title of Marquis of Lieutenant Commandery."

"Also, you see, he has a long-term love for Sanniang, and his Feng Ping... uh, Feng Ping is pretty good, right?"

Having said this, Zhang Bao took a nap, secretly glanced at Guan Xing, and saw that his face was dull, and then he continued speaking.

"Although there are various rumors, I haven't heard that he has ever been with a female concubine..."

At this point, Zhang Bao felt that he couldn't go on, so he had to mention another sentence.

"Sanniang is also interested in him. The husband is affectionate, the concubine is interested, the husband is talented, and the concubine is beautiful. Now in Jincheng, I don't know how many women are envious of this good marriage!"

"Also, when we were in Nanzhong, he somehow saved your life..."

It's okay that Zhang Bao didn't mention this. When he mentioned this, Guan Xing remembered Feng Yong's face when he rescued him in Nanzhong, and his heart felt even more blocked.

"Look now, he can even give you this kind of military training method that is hard to find in the world..."

The more Guan Xing listened to Zhang Bao's words, the more awkward he felt. He immediately interrupted Zhang Bao's words and said quietly, "Xingwu, this is not like you."

Zhang Bao's expression froze and he laughed dryly, "But what I said is all the truth."

"It's the truth," Guan Xing nodded and glanced at Zhang Bao, "but it's not like what you usually say."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "You and I are like brothers, so how can you hide your thoughts from me? Tell me, why did you say such good things to Feng Mingwen this time?"

Zhang Bao saw that he could no longer hide it, so he lowered his face and admitted, "Then Feng Mingwen, haven't you asked someone to come to your house to propose marriage?"

"How can it be so fast? He has just been released from prison. He must be prepared, right?"

"Are An Guo ready to agree?"

"I didn't want to agree, but can I not agree?"

Guan Xing glanced at Zhang Bao and said, "Even you came here for this matter."

Zhang Bao sighed and said, "I can't help it. The uncles who are now related to you have suddenly come to your door recently. What Mingli said was that he hadn't moved around for too long, but the other side of his words was nothing more than asking around.

Do you have any intention of getting married recently..."

As he spoke, he pointed at Guan Xing, dumbfounded, and then at himself, "Tell me, this is obviously Sanniang's wedding, why are they worried about Siniang?"

"Yes, it's like this in your house, let alone in my house?"

Guan Xing's face was full of helplessness, "Everyone who comes to the house is just like you, saying good things about Feng Mingwen, saying that he and Sanniang are a match made by heaven, a rare good marriage."

"Then what do An Guo think?"

Zhang Bao asked with concern on his face.

"What else can I do? Sanniang is now at the Prime Minister's wife's place. I haven't been able to see her for several days. It seems that she is determined to marry into the Feng family. As an elder brother, I naturally just want to marry her.

I can agree."

Guan Xing said helplessly.

In the past few years, the Guan family was hated by people and ghosts, but it was true that they were not liked by others.

Fortunately, he had a poor reputation and was favored by the Prime Minister, so he managed to keep the Guan family from falling.

But it must be true that life is hard.

The renewed improvement only happened two years ago. To be precise, it was after Sanniang followed Feng Mingwen to Hanzhong.

Sanniang held the share of the ranch and workshop in her hands, and began to ask people to come to her again.

It would be a lie to say that Guan Xing does not want to see the Guan family revitalized.

But when he thought that Sanniang had exchanged himself for Feng Mingwen, he felt unhappy.

I always feel that I owe Sanniang.

I always feel like that kid is taking advantage of others.

Now, because of Sanniang's marriage to that boy, there are more and more visitors to the Guan Mansion.

Guan Xing felt more and more pressure: this marriage seemed to be gradually out of his control, and it felt like it was no longer up to him to have the final say.

It was related to the interests of many powerful people in the Han Dynasty, as well as the court's desire to win over the people of Shu, and the rebellion in Yuejun County, so even the two people in the palace had to give in.

Nowadays, the two most suitable women to marry Feng Yong are Guan Sanniang and Zhang Siniang.

If he really dares not to agree to this marriage, and later allows Siniang to take the opportunity to marry Feng Yong, then the Guan family will offend many colleagues and dignitaries, and then they will really become hated by everyone.

"If Anguo can think this way, it is naturally a good thing."

Zhang Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Bao also understood the queen's intention to let Si Niang marry Feng Yong.

This is naturally good for the royal family, but whether it will be more beneficial or harmful to the Zhang family is hard to say at the moment.

In addition, the Guan family was involved, so Zhang Bao really didn't want his sister to go through this muddy water again.

Looking at Guan Xing with some pity in his eyes, Zhang Bao thought to himself that it is not easy to be such a brother-in-law in An Guo Tan and such an independent sister!

But when Guan Xing saw Zhang Bao's look, a ball of evil fire rose up in his heart, and he blurted out, "Where's Si Niang?"

Zhang Bao was startled, "What?"

"Sister Four is fourteen this year, right? In two years, she will be sixteen. I wonder what kind of family Xingwu plans to find for her then?"

Because of the statistical results of Nanxiang County in the second half of last year, the more well-informed Jincheng dignitaries knew in their hearts that marrying off their daughters too early would harm them.

It would be good for my daughter to stay at home for two more years.

Although this kind of thing is not said publicly, at least there is such an awareness among the wealthy people in the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Bao's face froze when he heard this.

Then he glanced at Guan Xing resentfully and said, "An Guo, we are talking about Sanniang's marriage. Why are we talking about Siniang? It is not a bad thing that Siniang will be raised at home for two more years."
