After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Zhao Weizhong said: "There is something else in the shop this afternoon. I can't stay at home. You just came back from Qingdao and have a good rest at home in the afternoon. You can go shopping on the streets if you have nothing to do. This year, Tianjin has changed a lot. If you have anything to do, just take care of it. If you lack money, go to Aquan to withdraw it from the account. Tomorrow I will have a few friends to have dinner together, so you can accompany me. Although you are a soldier, you should also walk around more and get to know some people. It will be beneficial to your future development."

It turned out that Zhao Weizhong would arrange the business of the shop this afternoon, so he would negotiate with his business friends to form the Federation of Industry and Commerce and work together with everyone to do business in partnership. However, he decided to accept Zhao Ping as his adopted son, so he took this opportunity to announce it to everyone. Moreover, Zhao Ping is now a captain of the People's Army. Although his military rank is not high, the East China government attaches great importance to the social status of soldiers, so he can also take it out. In addition, this is also to show others the relationship with the East China government - his adopted son serves in the People's Army to consolidate his position in the Tianjin business world and strengthen his persuasion.

Zhao Ping arrived without any objection and nodded, "Yes, everything is subject to my uncle's arrangement."

Zhao Weizhong nodded and said, "You are not young anymore and should have started a family long time ago. I have been too busy in the past two years, and you went to join the army again, so I delayed it and delayed you. In the past few days, while I was in Tianjin, I will find a marriage for you, meet with the woman's house first, and settle the marriage."

Zhao Ping couldn't help but tremble and said, "Uncle, this...is not...no."

Zhao Weizhong laughed and said, "Men are married when they are old, women are married when they are old. Your parents are gone. My uncle can be the master of this for you."

Zhao Ping's face turned red, his head shook as if he was shaking towards the drum, and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean that, but this... this won't work... I... I..."

Zhao Weizhong was also a smart person. Seeing that Zhao Ping was incoherent and wanted to speak, he immediately guessed something and said, "Why, have you already had someone you like? Just tell me, as long as it is a fair member of the world, I will go and propose marriage to you."

Zhao Ping slutted for a long time before finally saying, "It's Qiu Qing."

Zhao Weizhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, but Zhao Ping was uneasy and didn't know what Zhao Weizhong meant.

In fact, Zhao Ping didn't know that Zhao Weizhong was very satisfied with his statement, and it was better than he expected, because once Zhao Ping got married, he was likely to move out of the Zhao family to establish his own family. In this way, his relationship with the Zhao family would be alienated. Zhao Weizhong also had to find a way to keep Zhao Ping still in the Zhao family after he got married. Zhao Ping's favorite person was Qiu Qing. She was originally an orphan. She was bought by Zhao Weizhong to be a companion for Zhao Shuilan when she was 10 years old. Later, she became Zhao Shuilan's close daughter. Since the two grew up together and felt sympathetic to her sister, Qiu Qing was actually a member of the Zhao family. If Zhao Pingzhen got married to Qiu Qing, she would naturally not move out of the Zhao family.

In Zhao Weizhong's heart, he had decided to marry Qiu Qing to Zhao Ping long ago, but Zhao Ping could not be too easy to succeed. This is also due to the personality of the merchant. He could only sell the goods for a good price. Therefore, he deliberately made a difficult look and said: "If it was another girl, it would be easy. Even if the door was higher, even if I didn't have enough face, I could still ask the government leaders to come forward and say that it would be possible. But Qiu Qing was a little embarrassed. I was all right here, and the difficulty was with Lan'er."

Zhao Ping was puzzled and said, "Miss... No, what's the problem with my sister?"

Zhao Weizhong said: "You know that Qiu Qing grew up with Lan'er since childhood. Although the two were named master and servant, they actually sympathized with sisters, so they were unwilling to separate, and they were also afraid that she would meet bad people in the future. I am not afraid to tell you that Lan'er plans to take Qiu Qing as a dowry when she gets married in the future, so she won't be separated from Qiu Qing. Although I am the head of the family, if Lan'er disagrees, it is not easy to force it. Do you think so?"

When Zhao Ping heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold, because Zhao Weizhong said the truth, and he had thought of this result himself, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Zhao Ping's depressed expression, Zhao Weizhong felt funny and thought he should stop when he saw it, but don't do it. Therefore, he said, "But if it was you, it's not completely impossible."

After hearing this, Zhao Ping immediately saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Weizhong said: "You have also grown up with Lan'er and Qiuqing, and have a good relationship with them since childhood. If you really get married to Qiuqing, you will naturally not let her down. Even if you succeed and become famous in the future, you will not dislike Qiuqing."

Zhao Ping nodded quickly and said, "Of course not, of course not."

Zhao Weizhong said: "And you are also your own family. After you get married to Qiuqing, you will not leave the Zhao family. Although Lan'er can't take Qiuqing to dowry, she can still meet her when she returns to her parents' home to visit relatives, which can be considered second-best."

Zhao Ping hurriedly said, "Yes."

Zhao Weizhong said: "But whether it can be done or not depends on Lan'er's intention in the end, and of course it depends on Qiu Qing's own attitude. Let's do my best to convince Lan'er to promote your marriage with Qiu Qing, but you have to wait until I discuss with Lan'er in the evening before you can get a correct letter."

Although Zhao Ping was still worried, what Zhao Weizhong said was reasonable, so Zhao Ping had no other way, so he could only place all hope on Zhao Weizhong, so he had to say, "Okay, everything is up to my uncle."

After lunch, Zhao Ping went back to his room to rest, while Zhao Weizhong handled some accounts in the study, called Zhao Quan to give instructions, and then went out to the shop to arrange affairs.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Ping was unintentional to go out for a walk, and was restless in the room, and was restless, and almost as quiet as a year. He wanted to find Qiu Qing again and told her about his conversation with Zhao Weizhong. He knew that Qiu Qing had been sent to the municipal government to find Zhao Shuilan and told Zhao Shuilan that Zhao Ping was back and asked her to come home early in the afternoon. Therefore, Zhao Ping could only return to his room in disappointment, and finally fell on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Of course, Zhao Ping didn't know that all this was Zhao Weizhong's nonsense. Although Zhao Shuilan and Qiu Qing were indeed sisters, Zhao Shuilan did not think of Qiu Qing's dowry, because the Zhao family was not an official family or a wealthy family. At most, they could only be considered an explosive household and did not pay so much attention. Moreover, Zhao Weizhong planned to let Zhao Shuilan marry overseas Chinese. Although overseas Chinese did not prohibit concubines, it was not clear whether Yun was allowed to take dowry. No matter how deep the relationship between Qiu Qing and Zhao Shuilan was, she was essentially a slave of the Zhao family. Therefore, her marriage was just a matter of Zhao Weizhong's words and she had no ability to be independent at all.

Just before Zhao Weizhong left, he called Qiuqing to the study and told her that she had decided to accept Zhao Ping as her adopted son and planned to promise her to Zhao Ping. Of course, he did not forget to say good things about Zhao Ping, such as being honest and having great promise in the army, and asked Qiuqing what she meant.

Of course, Qiu Qing didn't dare to tell Zhao Weizhong about Zhao Ping's gift. Moreover, she had thought it through this period. She was just a maid from the Zhao family. Although she had a good relationship with Zhao Shuilan, it was not a long-term solution. Even if she was with Zhao Shuilan, she would just be a concubine for others. Therefore, if she could really promise Zhao Ping, it would be a good result. First, she grew up with Zhao Ping, even if she was not a childhood sweetheart, but she knew the truth. Second, Zhao Ping had joined the army now, and the general might be able to make a living, and she would be considered a turnaround. But she couldn't just say that she was willing, and only said that she followed Zhao Weizhong's arrangements. So Zhao Weizhong sent her to find Zhao Shuilan.

When Zhao Ping woke up, it was in the afternoon. Zhao Shuilan had already come back, so Zhao Ping went to greet him again. Zhao Shuilan had received his gift and expressed her gratitude to Zhao Ping. The two sat down and talked for a while, greeting each other for a while. In fact, they have also grown up together since they were young, and there was not much difference between master and servant.

Zhao Shuilan has been literate since childhood, and Zhao Weizhong's reason is that she has been exposed to some Westernization affairs since she was a child, and her horizons have broadened a lot. Unlike the traditional ladies of a family, she later taught in Hope School for a year and was deeply influenced by time travelers. She has basically transformed into a new era woman. Since Gao Jun also taught part-time in Hope School, she saw Zhao Shuilan reading and literacy, and also accepted a lot of new knowledge and concepts. She is also Zhao Weizhong's daughter, and she is also very reliable in politics. So Zhao Shuilan agreed to arrange her to be her secretary. Zhao Shuilan went to work in the Tianjin government agency and became a person within the system. She also gained a lot of knowledge and knowledge. Therefore, the two have many common topics, and it is quite speculative to talk about it.

Since Qiu Qing had already known the result, she stood behind Zhao Shuilan and lowered her head and did not dare to interrupt. Although Zhao Ping was willing to talk to Qiu Qing, she didn't know what to say when Zhao Shuilan was here. Zhao Shuilan also felt a little strange. Although Qiu Qing was not a talkative person, she was not a silence. It turned out that she was very familiar with Zhao Ping, so why didn't she talk today? Fortunately, Zhao Weizhong came back at this time, and Zhao Ping said goodbye and left Zhao Shuilan's room, which resolved the embarrassment.

The dinner was very rich, and there were three tables. It turned out that Zhao Weizhong invited the shopkeepers, accounting rooms and other major managers of various shops in Tianjin to their homes for dinner. Most of these people were not old people from the Zhao family, but the people hired by Zhao Weizhong after he started his family. Most of them did not know Zhao Ping. During dinner, he introduced to everyone that Zhao Ping was his nephew and came back to visit relatives in Qingdao. This was also officially confirmed Zhao Ping's identity. Everyone toasted Zhao Ping and called him: Master Ping.
