Chapter 45 Promise
"Zhen'er, Zhen'er, serve tea to the guests!"

As soon as Mr. Liang Sanye welcomed Yang Zhengshan into the back hall, he asked someone to serve tea.

"Here it comes!" A crisp voice came from the backyard.

Yang Zhengshan had only sat for a moment when a girl in a green cloth skirt came in with tea.

"Please have some tea, sir!" the girl said with a gentle smile.

Yang Zhengshan looked her up and down.

The little girl is pretty, with delicate features, dark eyes that look very clear and bright, and a round face with a little baby fat.

She is neither gaudy nor vulgar, neither arrogant nor impetuous, but rather quite cute.

"Is this your daughter?" Yang Zhengshan asked casually when he saw Mr. Liang San walking in with two pieces of cloth.

"Haha, she's my eldest daughter." Mr. Liang San replied casually.

"She is a hardworking and good girl!" Yang Zhengshan said again.

When the girl was serving tea just now, he noticed that her fingers were not the kind that had never been touched by water, but had some thin calluses.

A girl like her naturally wouldn't work in the fields, and the calluses on her hands were probably caused by needlework.

As soon as he said this, Mr. Liang San, who had been indifferent, suddenly changed his expression and looked at him with a little more vigilance.

The little girl quietly left the back hall.

It is very taboo to rashly comment on other people's daughters.

Especially for an unmarried girl, it is not easy to go out in public, let alone be criticized by a strange man in front of her.

However, Mr. Liang San did not get angry immediately, but said calmly: "Please wait a moment, sir."

Yang Zhengshan stopped talking and just drank his tea in silence.

The tea was just average, which showed that Mr. Liang Sanye and his family were not very well off.

The fact that his daughter has come out in public also proves this point. Otherwise, he would just hire a helper and there would be no need to let his daughter come out in public.

He was a bit rude just now, but Mr. Liang San still endured it, which shows that he really needs this business.

The vigilance in Mr. Liang San's eyes showed that he still valued his daughter very much, but he had to endure Yang Zhengshan's rudeness because of the pressure of life.

The fact that he cares about his daughter shows that Mr. Liang is not a bad person.

There are too many families here that favor boys over girls. Many families treat girls as commodities and buy and sell them at will.

Many merchants also use their daughters as bargaining chips to curry favor with the powerful.

Just from the few sentences he heard, Yang Zhengshan felt that Mr. Liang San and Liang Zhen were not bad people.

I’m not sure how good he is, but he should not be the kind of person who has no offline connections.

"I heard the shopkeeper is from the capital city?"

Mr. Liang San came in again with two pieces of cloth, and Yang Zhengshan spoke casually.

"Yeah!" Mr. Liang San replied in a muffled voice with his head down.

"The shopkeeper doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a scholar!" Yang Zhengshan said again.

Mr. Liang San raised his head and asked, "Aren't you here to buy cloth?"

Yang Zhengshan smiled gently and said, "I'm just here to buy cloth."

"I'm from the Liang family in the provincial capital, and I just separated from the family last year!" Mr. Liang San stopped moving the cloth and sat in front of Yang Zhengshan, with a more obvious wariness in his eyes.

"Divide the family? Just divide this shop?" Yang Zhengshan didn't care about the wariness in his eyes and still said with a smile.

"That's right!" said Mr. Liang.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, this was the same as he guessed.

"Do you have other children?"

"Yes, I have another son, he is six years old this year!"

“Why only one store?”

"I am a bastard!" Mr. Liang San answered every question. He suspected that Yang Zhengshan had bad intentions, but he did not do anything.

After leaving the Liang family, he was just the owner of a small cloth shop.

In fact, when he was in the Liang family, he was just an unappreciated person, otherwise he would not have only got a shop in a small county town when the huge Liang family was divided.

He doesn't think he has anything worth remembering.

Of course, if someone was targeting him, he didn't seem to have any ability to resist. The Liang family would not help him, a bastard who was separated, and he didn't have any foundation in Anning County.

"After the separation, you have no contact with the Liang family?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"No!" Master Liang stared at him.

Yang Zhengshan nodded again. This was a wise man.

Although he was kicked out of the house, he did not show any dejection or resentment.

In fact, in many large families, illegitimate sons and daughters do not have a good life.

Perhaps for Mr. Liang San, being separated is actually a good thing. At least he can live his life in peace.

"My name is Yang Zhengshan, and I live in Yangjia Village, Qinghe Town!" Yang Zhengshan introduced himself.

Mr. Liang was stunned. "Aren't you here to cause trouble?"

Yang Zhengshan grinned, "I'm here to buy cloth!"

"Oh, I'll go prepare the cloth for the guests now!" Mr. Liang San was a little dazed and stood up in a daze and continued to move the cloth.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt a little worried.

Such in-laws seem too honest. What should I do if they are cheated in the future?
After Mr. Liang San brought out the cloth, Yang Zhengshan found an ox cart to take it to the inn, then rode on Hongyun back home.

After returning home, Yang Zhengshan asked Wang to distribute the cotton cloth he had bought.

The candidates who will follow him to Chongshan Pass have been decided. They are all the best young and strong people in Yangjia Village.

Excluding Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingwu, there were ten people in total, each with three sets of clothes to change into. Yang Zhengshan provided the cotton cloth, but their families had to do the sewing.

Calculating the time, he still has more than ten days before heading to Chongshan Pass.

Yang Zhengshan decided to settle Yang Minghao's marriage before going to Chongshan Pass.

Since he thinks the Liang family is good, he has nothing to worry about.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan called Wang Po and asked her to go to his house to propose marriage.

……

"Who are you talking about?"

In the backyard of Liang's Cloth Shop, Mr. Liang San looked at his wife, Ms. Lin, with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief.

Just now, Mrs. Wang came to their door and said she wanted to propose a marriage to their daughter.

They were not surprised by the marriage proposal. Liang Zhen was old enough, and some people had come to propose marriage in recent months, but they had all been rejected.

They had just arrived in Anning County and didn't know much about the people there. Mr. Liang Sanye and Mrs. Lin didn't want to marry their daughter off rashly, so they wanted to delay for a while until they were familiar with the situation in Anning County before arranging a good marriage for their daughter.

Originally, Wang didn't care about the Wang Po who came to her house and thought she could just deal with it and reject her.

But Mrs. Wang praised the Yang family so much that she felt that the Yang family was a good match for her.

"Have you heard of Sanlang from the Yang family in Qinghe Town?" Seeing Mr. Liang Sanye so surprised, Lin asked curiously.

Mr. Liang frowned and thought about it.

He didn't know the Yang family before, but yesterday Yang Zhengshan came to buy cloth and said he was from the Yang family in Qinghe Town.

He stood in the main room and paced back and forth.

He felt that Yang Zhengshan was acting strangely yesterday. When he thought about it today, he realized that Yang Zhengshan was targeting his daughter.

If Yang Zhengshan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely retort: ​​It's not me who is targeting your daughter, it's my son who is targeting your daughter, so don't accuse me.

"The matchmaker said that the Yang family in Qinghe Town passed down their martial arts tradition. There are several warriors in the family. Among them, the head of the family, Yang Zhengshan, is a powerful warrior who has killed mountain bandits and Hu cavalry!"

"Some time ago, the Yang family held a banquet, and the county magistrate, Lord Luo, went to the banquet in person, and Mr. Lu from the Anning Lu family also went to the banquet!"

"Although the Yang family lives in the countryside and is not a wealthy family, they seem to be prospering during this period."

"Moreover, Yang Zhengshan has already obtained an official position, and has been appointed as a centurion at Chongshan Pass, and a garrison officer!"

"Master, although we are from the Liang family of Jing'an, you and I both know that we cannot rely on the Liang family now."

"For us today, a family like the Yang family is already a good choice."

Lin persuaded earnestly.

She really thought that the Yang family was a good choice.
