Chapter 359 Engagement, Zhumen Wine and Meat (for SF Xiaozhou(1/2)
Chen An settled down.
The Yang family took the grass post to divine it, and the result was auspicious.
This matter is done just waiting to be posted.
Yang Jinian was very pleased and felt that he had finally found a reliable son-in-law for his daughter, so he was drunk.
The next day, a matchmaker came with the Shen family’s decree post.
The betrothal gift was written in the fixed post. Yang Jinian looked at it, but found it was dull.
The Shen family is rich, but why are they so stingy?
The matchmaker is the first person in the world to observe words and expressions, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Chen said that the current official family is trying to advocate simple marriage, and the Shen family should respond. However, they neglected the Yang family. Please forgive me."
Yang Jinian nodded, and after negotiations between the two sides, they decided to make up.
Li was right behind, and she was impatient when the matchmaker was about to leave and said, "The betrothal gift is simple, I don't take Zhuo Xue seriously!"
"Woman's experience!"
Li was anxious, but Yang Jinian was as stable as Mount Tai. He said lightly: "Now marriage is extravagant. If he gives too much of his betrothal gift, it wouldn't be a big deal, but how much dowry should our family give to match it?"
Li was surprised: "The dowry belongs to Zhuo Xue, so we will do our best."
These days, dowry is a woman’s private property. If it is rich, a woman’s back will be strong in her in-laws’ house. If it is simple, it will inevitably be looked down upon.
Yang Jinian was looking at the final post, and Li was looking forward to what he could discover.
But after waiting for a while, Yang Jinian said, "This word is just ordinary."
Li almost fainted from anger and thought to myself that I had been waiting for you for so long, but you were actually appreciating the words on the post.
Yang Jinian looked up at Li and said, "There are no parents-in-laws on Zhuo Xue."
Well!
Only then did Li remember this, she said in shame: "I'm anxious."
Without parents-in-law, just a sister-in-law. As long as you work hard, life will naturally be beautiful.
She immediately became a little worried: "Is Chen An so considerate or something?"
Yang Jinian nodded and said, "He gave these betrothal gifts to our family to give less dowry... Think about Xianglu, those foreign merchants flocked to it, how much money can they earn every year? The Shen family is not short of money, so we just do our best."
Li was relieved, but he felt another layer of worry, "Official, what if Chen An underestimated Zhuo Xue in the future?"
The young man Chen An was awarded the title, and he was still a scholar in the Imperial College, and his identity as a close minister in the official family, had a bright future.
Men are all fond of the new and old. If they get tired of their daughter in the future, will they...
The more Li thought about it, the more anxious he became. He wanted to catch Chen An and let him swear to ensure that he would be good to his daughter for the rest of his life.
"Is anyone at home?"
At this time, there was a noise outside, and Yang Jinian frowned and said, "Yes!"
"Open the door and someone is coming from the palace."
What?
Li instantly reacted that something happened.
"Official, have you taken your leave today?"
Don't you just sneak away, and then someone sued him and someone from the palace would deal with it.
Yang Jinian had no idea. He went to open the door himself, but saw that there was a strange eunuch outside.
"But Yang Jinian?"
"yes."
The eunuch turned around and said, "Pick up the things in!"
The two men carrying the loads came out.
"This is……"
Yang Jinian was a little puzzled, but he was not panicked.
The eunuch smiled and said, "The saint in the palace learned that your daughter was engaged, so he said he would give him some things to suppress the man, so as not to bully your daughter there..."
this……
Yang Jinian had no idea why this was, and Li was so happy that he didn't know why.
She said proudly: "It seems that our Zhuo Xue has the blue eyes of a saint!"
The eunuch just smiled and checked the goods.
Li's eyes turned and he made some copper coins to give it to the eunuch.
The eunuch gave in and saw Yang Jinian turn his back and smiled and said, "Since it's a happy event, it's a happy money, so I'll take it."
The experience of collecting the censor's money made him very proud and asked, "But want to know the whole story?"
Li nodded and smiled, "Yes! The saint is kind to him, but my family is in a panic and worried about being rude."
The queen generally does not care about foreign affairs, and the Yang family and the Cao family do not have a copper coin relationship. What does this mean to give a gift?
The eunuch smiled and said, "A few days ago, the waiter in front of the official family said that he had made a marriage contract. After hearing this, the official family asked the saint to bring some gifts to bring them to your family and add some joy."
It turned out to be Chen An?
After the person left, Li said with emotion: "He is really interested."
Yang Jinian said: "You are at ease now?"
Such considerate son-in-law is rare. Those men regard women as a matchmaking, not to mention considerate, it is rare to be more kind.
Li smiled and said, "Of course I feel at ease. It's just an official, how is Chen An... How can he still talk about his marriage in the court? And the official actually asked the queen to add makeup, which is rare."
Yang Jinian didn't know, but when he thought of Chen An's past, he felt that the waves of the Yangtze River pushed the waves of the previous waves.
"That young man caused the Prince of Beihai to suffer a loss this time... It's amazing, he is not bad at all. Now I just hope Zhuo Xue is stupid and will not be in charge of things outside after marrying..."
Li said in confusion: "Why? Officials, women must be in charge of affairs before they can show their identity!"
Once a woman gets married, she becomes a woman in the boudoir, taking care of her husband and children, managing family affairs, and gradually wailing the years...
Loneliness is poison, and the antidote is power.
Being able to manage things is power!
Yang Jinian shook his head and said, "You don't know that Chen An's experience in the past two years is... scary, and it's quite dangerous, but he can always get rid of danger... If Zhuo Xue is smart, she will naturally be able to detect these things. It's best to live a dull life... A father, naturally, hopes that she will smile constantly, don't worry about men..."
This is the heart of a kind father.
Li smiled and said, "The truth is that husband and wife are united!"
...
Chen An didn't know which couple was united, but he felt at ease after receiving the final note. The subsequent etiquette was discussed by the matchmaker and the woman's family.
He is very comfortable, and someone is more comfortable.
The powerful children of the Imperial College who were affiliated to the Imperial College started to have fun after the exam. When their parents asked, they said it was fine.
Zhao Zhongzhen has been invited to dinner several times. Every time the powerful and powerful children patted their chests and said that they would definitely stand out, and then went through the provincial examinations to bring glory to the family.
In addition, the Kaifeng Prefecture trial ended, and the capital was full of wine and meat for a while, and the people in the middle wanted to vomit.
"Brother Anbei, these people have hired old scholars to take charge of the imperial examinations, and are only for the quota of the Imperial College... There are many playboys of this generation. If they are officials, they are afraid that the people in the area will be in trouble."
Wang Yun slapped the fan and glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen, with some unfulfilled intentions.
Zhao Zhongzhen said calmly: "I'm not a playboy."
Wang Rong sighed: "What are the people?"
He looked at Chen An.
When did this guy worry so much about the country and the people?
Chen An was curious and said, "They... don't know about Kaifeng Prefecture, but the ones who are attached to the Imperial College are afraid they will be in trouble this time."
Wang Rong's heart moved and said, "Is the sea of questions useful?"
Chen An set a trick on the sea of questions is quite criticized, and even Wang Rong thought it was unreliable.
If this failure is made, Chen An's reputation will become bad, and he will not be able to continue to hang out in the Imperial College in the future...
“Of course it’s useful.”
Chen An said lightly: "Those powerful and noble children celebrate together, so let them be happy for a while and then talk about it when the result comes out."
So Chen An hurried at home to rest. To outsiders, this was a sign of guilt, so more people were happy.
On the day when the grades were made, the students from the Imperial Academy came back together.
The powerful and powerful children also came. They were only qualified to participate in the Imperial College for the qualifications, so they were not familiar with the students.
So the students and the powerful and powerful children looked clearly divided.
