Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

Fan Changxin was content with his only younger sister and proud of her, but there was one thing he was quite dissatisfied with—

My younger sister is very picky. Five or six years after she came of age, matchmakers came dozens of times, but she rejected them all for various reasons.

As the older brother, he was also very anxious.

Fan Changrui was beautiful, with arched eyebrows and sparkling almond eyes. There were no more than a handful of women in the entire Yuyang County who could rival her!

At this moment, upon hearing her brother's words, she slowly put down the military treatise and command flag in her hands, raised her head, and frowned as she looked over:

"Brother, instead of worrying about my marriage, you should be managing the employees in our shop properly."

"This month alone, in several grain shops in the south of the city, one manager and three employees succumbed to greed and embezzled a total of 316.5 taels of silver!"

"If our family hadn't been so wealthy, they would have embezzled everything long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Changxin sighed, thought about sitting down next to her in the future, and spoke earnestly:

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Those people probably had no choice but to do this, otherwise, with the monthly allowance provided by our Fan family, they wouldn't be starving!"

"As for you, you've always loved military strategy and disliked needlework. Even now, you want to marry into a military family to fulfill your dream of becoming a general's wife!"

"But in our Great Zhou, what general would ever fancy a merchant's daughter!"

"Please stop being picky, okay?"

Fan Changrui rolled her eyes at her brother, but still firmly refused.

When she saw that her brother was still trying to get more, her face turned cold.

"Fan Changxin, do you have nothing better to do?"

"Yes, it's normal for you, as the elder brother, to worry about your sister's marriage. After all, an elder brother is like a father. But I, Fan Changrui, am able-bodied and help manage the clan's business. I support myself with my own abilities."

"What's wrong with me not getting married?"

"It didn't cost you any money!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Changxin knew that his younger sister was truly angry, and his head immediately began to throb.

If things were as they were in the past, he would definitely have been scolded by his sister and fled in disgrace. But now the opportunity for the Fan family to rise was right in front of him. If he missed it, who knew how many generations he would have to wait for. So he had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and continue to persuade her.

"Sis, this time it's really different!"

"I'll do it for you, brother..."

"What's the difference?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Changrui had already stood up, ready to see the guest out.

"Last time, you asked a matchmaker to introduce you to a young general, but he lost his left leg and has no hope of promotion in the future. He also likes to drink heavily."

"The time before last, that man was a Confucian scholar with the title of Xiucai, but he was extremely lecherous, with no fewer than twenty beautiful concubines at home, and they all looked old!"

"I won't go into the rest!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Look at the people you've chosen. Do they truly care about me, or do they want me to be beaten to death, verbally abused, or left alone after I marry them?"

"It's really different!"

Seeing that his sister was serious, Fan Changxin also explained with utmost earnestness:

"The husband I've chosen for you is young and strong, has some military achievements, and is ambitious. He will surely grow into a great general in the future!"

"Moreover, this person has an excellent temperament, values ​​loyalty, is reasonable, and possesses talents that surpass those of ordinary people. From any perspective, he is the best candidate!"

"There will never be another man like him in this world!"

"hehe."

Faced with her brother's praise, Fan Changrui responded with a cold laugh:

"If such a person truly existed, he would have been snatched up by various powerful families long ago. How could it possibly be a chance for our Fan family?"

"Brother, even if you're eager to marry me off, you don't have to make up such a lie to deceive me, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Changxin cursed himself for losing too much credibility with his sister in the past, to the point that even when he told the truth, his sister didn't believe him.

However, once he made up his mind, it was not to be changed, so I tried my best to persuade him:

"I'm not lying to you!"

"Rui'er, although this child comes from a humble background, with his outstanding abilities, he is fully capable of becoming a general in the future. Haven't you always wanted to be a general's wife?"

"Wouldn't it be better to marry a general before he becomes a general, rather than to become a general's wife immediately?"

"At least you have plenty of time to cultivate a relationship with him and firmly secure your position!"

Looking at her brother's confident demeanor, Fan Changrui was also a little surprised and hesitant, wondering if this time was really different.

After thinking it over, she tentatively asked:

"Who exactly is this child?"

"You praise him so highly, as if he were unparalleled in the world. He is indeed a perfect match, but coming from you, these words are highly unbelievable!"

Fan Changxin breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased that his sister was interested.

"To put it another way, he comes from a humble background, his parents are both dead, and he only has one unmarried wife. So after you marry him, not only will there be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but you will also definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the second mistress of their family and get along with the first wife like sisters."

"Because his fiancée has a very good personality and is never jealous!"

"The first wife? The second mistress?"

Fan Changrui was stunned for a long time, but when she saw her brother's evasive eyes, she suddenly realized what was going on.

A raging fire suddenly erupted in her eyes:

"Fan Changxin!"

"You mean, you want to marry your own sister off to someone else as a concubine?"

"Oh!"

She paced back and forth in anger, her expression shifting constantly. After a long while, she walked over and raised her hand, ready to hit someone.

Fan Changrui shouted angrily:

"I understand now!"

"You just don't like me anymore, you don't want me to stay in this house, and you're planning to kick me out, right?"

"good!"

She pondered for a long time, and finally her expression became calm.

But knowing his sister's personality, Fan Changxin knew that she had made some kind of important decision in her heart, and thus a bad feeling arose in his heart.

As expected, Fan Changrui said coldly:

"In that case, from this moment on, I, Fan Changrui, sever all ties with you, Fan Changxin, and with the Fan family..."

"His name is Lu Xiao, commander of the White Wolf outpost!"

Before his sister could utter those words, Fan Changxin exclaimed in surprise, then, under his sister's astonished gaze, continued:

"That's Lu Xiao, the centurion who defeated the Black Sand Clan in one battle and went to the capital to meet the emperor!"

"My dear sister, I've always wanted you to have a good life and marry a good husband. How could I possibly harm you?"

"It's him?"

Fan Changrui came to her senses, muttered a few words, and was still furious:

"So what if it is him?"

"You yourself said he's just a minor centurion now. With the wealth of my Fan family, we could easily buy a few more, ta-da. What's so special about that?"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, she noticed her brother holding the sandalwood brocade box that represented the family property, and her expression changed instantly.

Fan Changxin quickly explained his thoughts:

"I'm going to bet everything the Fan family has on Lu Xiao, hoping he'll rise to great heights in the future!"

"So, why don't you come with me to see him first, before deciding whether or not to marry him?"
