    "Brother, don't be ridiculous. How can you build a house in half a month?" Zhang Chen obviously didn't believe what Zhang Lei said.

    Zhang Lei said with a smile: "What's the point? As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. There is also a saying that when everyone adds firewood, the flames rise Well, it doesn't seem to be used that way. Well, that's what it means. Half  Months are more than enough to build a house. Besides, you are choosing someone in fifteen days, not getting married in fifteen days, so why are you anxious?"

    "It seems so." Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh.

    "You can't wait to get married." Zhang Lei said with a smile.

    ""

    Since it came to the question of the house, Zhang Lei was naturally unambiguous and immediately called for skilled craftsmen from all over Taiping Island to build a magnificent palace.

    Because most of the structures are made of wood and stone, construction can be started at any time. There is no need to wait for it to solidify like cement buildings. This speeds up the construction. There is an inexhaustible supply of materials on the Jade Mountain behind.  Very easy to use.

    However, because of the huge project, even if I worked overtime every day, I still couldn't build the house within fifteen days. But there was no rush, because according to Zhang Lei, this house was used when getting married. Now  Not needed yet.

    On this day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and there was some breeze. It was a very comfortable time.  As early as a few days ago, the wide grassland in front of the Taiping Palace was decorated as dreamlike and beautiful. It would be a place for those beauties to show themselves, and today it finally came into use.

    It¡¯s still dark, but you can already see teams coming from various places with lanterns and torches.  It looks very dazzling in the night sky.  These were the people who came to Zhang Chen to see them after signing up, and the local governments provided carriages for them.

    The white color of fish belly appeared in the east. Zhang Lei was woken up by a rustling sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Baguio.  She looked like she had just emerged from the bed and was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror.

    "Why are you up so early? It's not bright yet, you can sleep a little longer. Did I disturb you?" When Zhang Lei came to Baguio's side, she noticed it and asked.

    Zhang Lei said: "No, maybe I was thinking that my brother would choose a good family today. As soon as I woke up, I couldn't fall asleep. Why did you get up so early? Women will be more beautiful if they sleep more."

    "I'm used to it. I have to get up at this time every day. I can't even sleep in bed. Besides, I still have a lot of things to do. Now that my husband is up, I'll help him get dressed."  Baguio said.

    Zhang Lei nodded slightly, sat on the bed and waited. When Baguio finished dressing up, he asked her to dress and comb her hair.  By the time the work was over, it was already dawn.

    As soon as the two of them went out, they saw several other women coming out. Zhang Lei said with a smile: "Why do we all have such a tacit understanding? Let's go. Since we are all here, let's go have breakfast and get ready.  Someone will probably arrive soon, and it¡¯s time to choose someone when the time comes.¡±

    "Well, everything is subject to my father-in-law's orders."

    Knowing that today is a special day, the kitchen naturally started preparing very early. Zhang Lei and the others went to have breakfast, but they did not see Zhang Chen and Zhang Baosheng during the meal, which was a little strange.  Asked: "Where are dad and brother? Why didn't you see them?"

    "Yeah, they haven't come here yet, but it should be pretty early now, why don't you send someone to call them?" Su Tong said.

    Zhang Lei was about to speak when he saw Zhang Baosheng and Zhang Chen appearing at the door of the dining room.  Zhang Lei quickly stood up and said: "I was just going to call you, but you are here. You haven't eaten yet, so come over and eat quickly."

    The family sat down and Zhang Lei asked Zhang Chen: "Brother, it's time for you to choose a girl. First, let's talk about it. What do you think you like? What are the standards?"

    Zhang Chennai said: "Brother, if you ask me this, how should I answer? Besides, I don't know these people at all, so how can I choose them? In this way, I can only judge whether they are beautiful or not, or whether they are beautiful or not."  When I see someone, there will be a voice in my heart telling me that it¡¯s that woman I want, and that¡¯s fine.¡±

    "Haha, so what you want to say is that love at first sight is doomed? The two of them only need to take one look at each other and already know that that is what they are looking for. Alas, it sounds like a wonderful thing, but in fact it is not  It's that easy." Zhang Lei said.

    Zhang Chen echoed: "Yeah, it's not that easy, but it's not easy and there's no way."

    ¡°Emotions are cultivated,As long as you find the right woman like this, why do you care so much about eating, sleeping and having children? I have never seen you young people so picky.  "Zhang Baosheng said.

    Zhang Lei and Zhang Chen immediately stopped talking. After the family had eaten, they went to the front and climbed up the steps under the city wall of the Taiping Palace. There was the best place to choose women that had been prepared for a long time. Below  You can see everything at a glance, but you can't see anything from below.

    Of course, in addition to their family, there are also hundreds of soldiers selected by Zhang Lei from the army who are suitable for marriage. These people are under the wall of the Taiping Palace. After Zhang Chen has finished selecting, they can  Choose a woman to marry.  Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Lei to engage in the kind of forced buying and selling business. Everything is based on the principle of voluntariness.

    Standing next to Zhang Lei was Jiang Yuyang. Zhang Lei wanted to help him find a girl first, but Jiang Yuyang refused to agree, so Zhang Lei could only give up.

    "Lao Qi, my original intention was to help you and your brother find a wife you would be happy with, but my brother agreed and you refused. You see, you are such an old man, you should start a family and start a career."  Zhang Lei said to Jiang Yuyang.

    Even at this time, Jiang Yuyang's attitude was still very firm. He said: "Master Zhang, please don't persuade me. I have made it clear that I will not consider starting a family until everything has settled down."

    Since he is still saying that now, Zhang Lei can do nothing but say: "Okay. Then I won't say anything. Oh, by the way, one more thing, if you see a girl from a house later, you like it."  Yes, just tell me and I will mediate for you."

    Jiang Yuyang was very helpless.  I was ready to say something, but then I shut up.  The sky is already bright. Looking down, I can already see many sedan chairs parked below.  These people were divided into two different areas according to their identities. Zhang Chen's task was to select a woman from each of these two teams to become his wife.  The people who arrived today have been screened, and all of them have the opportunity to marry Zhang Chen.

    "when¡­¡­"

    The melodious bells came from the innermost part of the Taiping Palace.  Zhang Lei looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It seems the time has come."

    At the same time, several soldiers came to Zhang Lei carrying a large basket of things. These were all portraits of women.  Zhang Lei said to Zhang Chen: "Come here, come here. There are names on these portraits. Remember to take a good look at them. If you like them, just tell me."

    Zhang Chen nodded slightly, and the crowd below became commotion. The girls all came out of the sedan, all dressed up and beautiful.  Zhang Lei couldn't help but smile and said: "Oh, it's a good time for you to have sex. Look at the time when I got married Ouch. Don't pull my ears, they will rot" What he just said  Halfway through, Xu Min came to him, pinched his ears and said viciously: "Tell me, what happened when you got married?"

    "No, no, no, I didn't say anything. What I meant was that I am very happy to have you guys, and I won't bother like them. Am I wrong?" Zhang Lei said quickly, grinning in pain.

    So many people are watching here.  Xu Min couldn't go too far, so she let go and said, "Huh, you know what's going on."

    Zhang Lei rubbed his ears and said: "Alas. Are all girls nowadays so violent? Alas, it's really Forget it, brother, come on, come on, it's about to start.  , choose carefully, choose some beautiful younger siblings for me, they will be pleasing to the eye."

    A person below came out with a list in his hand, looked at it, and said: "The first one is Myolie Wu."

    The girl named Myolie Wu is very petite, wearing a light pink dress, with an oval face and a pair of big eyes full of aura.  When she heard her name being called, she immediately walked out of the team and said a polite "Hail".

    The curved train is a type of deep clothing in the Chinese clothing system (Hanfu system). The deep clothing can be divided into straight and curved trains according to whether the train is around the breast or not. The requirements of the curved train style itself. According to the "Book of Rites", the deep clothing is a  The biggest feature is the "continued pleats and hooked edges", which means that "the common feature of this style of clothing is that there is a curved train covering the back" (Sun Ji. Surprisingly, the ordinary short curved train is not in  Crossing in front of the knees instead of going behind the back is a reference to the silver figures unearthed in Jincun, Luoyang. The style of crossing in front of the knees is an invention of people today, or it is a design influenced by the Twelve Dans. In ancient times,  There are twelve pieces of deep clothing, all with the broad head at the bottom and the narrow head at the top. They are commonly called gussets. The ones that follow the gussets and hook the sides are called "curved gussets".

    Zhang Lei and the others couldn¡¯t hear Myolie Wu talking to the people below. Zhang Lei and Zhang ?Both of them were looking down with telescopes. Zhang Lei said to Zhang Chen: "Myolie Wu looks pretty good. What do you think? If you think it's OK, then find her portrait."  Well, so as not to forget it later, just wait until you are done with it and you can come back and choose a few of these people that you like."

    Zhang Chen nodded slightly, and then did as Zhang Lei said. Next, Myolie Wu danced, which made everyone fascinated. Zhang Lei guessed that this must be a lady of some family.  If you are from an ordinary family, even if you can give birth to such a good-looking face, you will not be able to develop such an elegant temperament and talent. This all requires the influence of the environment.  This also explains why there is such a big difference between the children of wealthy families and the children of farmers.

    Next is the second, third It was not until the afternoon that the girls below were displayed one by one. Zhang Chen had already selected a dozen or so favorites. The next thing to do was to start from  Among these dozen people, I picked out two of my favorites to be my wives.

    Zhang Lei stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and said, "Okay, we have finally selected so many people. Next, you should think carefully about which two to choose."

    "I will." Zhang Chen said.

    Then an official came up and registered the names of the people chosen by Zhang Chen. They also had to investigate the selected people in depth until Zhang Chen made his choice.

    The next day, Zhang Chen finally chose the person he liked. One of the two was Myolie Wu. As expected, being the first one to appear was quite impressive.

    Now that Zhang Chen has made his choice, it is no longer possible for these other girls to get Zhang Chen's favor. Most of them have chosen to leave, but some still choose to stay and marry Zhang Lei's soldiers. In this way  Come on, a total of three hundred pairs are about to enter the next process.  To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.Vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
