Chapter 2: The Strongest Family System Awakens! Rewards in Hand!
Half a month later.
The Grand Marshal's Mansion was decked out in festive lights, welcoming distinguished guests.
Zhang Xue Ming, after being plied with several bottles of wine, was ushered into the bridal chamber.
Gazing upon Yu Feng Zhi, who was seated on the nuptial bed, her face veiled in a red cloth, a smile involuntarily spread across Zhang Xue Ming's face.
In the "Young Marshal" storyline.
After entering the bridal chamber, Zhang Liu Zi didn't seize the opportunity to consummate the marriage. Instead, he challenged Yu Feng Zhi repeatedly, even getting slapped in the face later. This was indeed a most ridiculous act.
Now!
With a beautiful woman by his side.
He definitely had to gallop on his steed for a while first!
Zhang Xue Ming took a step forward and lifted the red veil.
Under the glow of the red candles.
A stunningly beautiful face appeared before him.
Yu Feng Zhi had always been a wealthy and privileged young lady.
Pampered since childhood, her skin was incredibly fair and smooth!
And on this auspicious day.
Her cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue.
Truly, she was a beauty to behold, her face like blooming peach blossoms, her modesty like shy, closing flowers!
Little Liu Zi always said that Yu Feng Zhi was five years older than him.
However, he was only nineteen years old when he got married.
By this estimation.
Yu Feng Zhi would be only twenty-four years old.
She was at the peak of her beauty.
Compared to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old country girls.
This fully developed Northeast girl.
Truly had everything, curves where they should be, figure where it mattered!
Meanwhile!
Yu Feng Zhi's heart was pounding as well.
Initially, marrying Zhang Xue Ming.
She felt a bit of disappointment.
After all, the man of her dreams had always been the Zhang family's Young Marshal.
But now.
Seeing Zhang Xue Ming in person.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
This second son of the Zhang family seemed even more heroic and stable than his elder brother!
This was no accident.
Zhang Xue Ming was reborn!
His brows and eyes.
Displayed an aura of confidence and composure that ordinary people lacked!
Compared to Zhang Liu Zi, who only knew how to play around with his sister-in-law, he was undoubtedly much more mature!
At this moment.
Seeing his wife so shy.
Zhang Xue Ming smiled slightly.
"My Lady, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold!"
"It's not too early!"
"Let's rest quickly!"
With that said!
Zhang Xue Ming extinguished the candles and climbed onto the bed!
Soon.
Nightingales sang their mournful song, the red ball fell to the ground.
In an instant, a system prompt sounded!
【Ding! Respected host, you have completed the novice task - New Marriage!】
Reward Attribute: 【Dragon's Vigor and Tiger's Bone】: Strength +100%, Stamina +200%
Boom!
Zhang Xue Ming felt as if his body was suddenly infused with a fiery energy.
Instantly.
Every bone in his body crackled with a loud popping sound.
His muscles, like a ferocious Northeast tiger, twisted and solidified into powerful knots like coiled dragons.
Within just a few breaths.
Zhang Xue Ming felt as if he had been reborn.
His muscles were well-defined and distinct.
He had even grown a few centimeters taller!
"Damn! Muscle enhancement?"
Zhang Xue Ming was about to speak.
But another system sound rang out!
【Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a life milestone. The Strongest Family System has discovered a new character!】
【Yu Feng Zhi】
【Position: First Wife】
【Level: Purple (Epic)】
【Abilities: 1. Merchant's Daughter (Business Profitability +20%) 2. Wife of Virtue (Special Effect) 3. Fertility (Offspring +2)】
【Special Effect: (Wife of Virtue)】
【Place this character card into the Family Interface】
【You can receive a monthly allowance of 2 million Ocean Dollars!】
.....
This time, Zhang Xue Ming was completely dumbfounded!
Ever since awakening the 'Abundant Offspring, Strongest Family' system.
The system had been constantly prompting him to complete the novice task, find good wives and concubines for his family, and have many children!
But due to his special status.
As the Grand Marshal's second son.
According to the customs of this era, his older brother had not yet married.
It was basically not his turn yet.
Therefore!
He had set his sights on his 'sister-in-law'!
Two birds with one stone.
Get married before Zhang Liu Zi!
But he hadn't expected!
That the Strongest Family System would be so domineering.
"Marrying Yu Feng Zhi not only strengthens my body, but also grants me a Wife of Virtue buff, a monthly allowance of 2 million Ocean Dollars!"
"This is... too ridiculous!"
The Republic of China implemented a silver-based monetary system.
The currency was copper coins and silver Ocean Dollars!
One Yuan Datou silver coin weighed about 25 grams.
A monthly allowance of 2 million Ocean Dollars.
Converted, that was a full 5 tons of silver!
It was no wonder Zhang Xue Ming was shocked and speechless.
According to the system prompt.
As long as he placed Yu Feng Zhi's character card in the Family Interface.
He could receive the allowance every month.
This was a steady stream of income, a year's worth would be 24 million silver dollars!
You know what!
During the so-called 'Kangxi and Qianlong Prosperous Era,' the Qing Dynasty's taxes were only slightly over 29 million taels.
Zhang Xue Ming had just one wife.
Almost as much as the Qing Dynasty's annual tax revenue!
"They say get married before starting a career!"
"Well, marrying a wife, the capital for starting a business is right here!"
Looking at Yu Feng Zhi, whose cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue in his arms.
Zhang Xue Ming's eyes changed.
This wasn't some Northeast girl.
This was a goddamn golden egg-laying goose!
"My Sixth Brother, do you know what you missed?!"
"You missed a silver empire!"
Stealing the Young Marshal's wife!
Could there be anything more satisfying?
