"I'm going to Lin's house today to bring you back good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first? Jia Qigong picked up the teacup and drank half a cup in one go, and Sun Shouqing's eyelids jumped when he saw it.

Zhu Ziqing also rolled his eyelids, good news and bad news, you have watched too many old film and television dramas.

"I'm listening to the bad news first, and I'm listening to the good news. Is it bitter first and then sweet. Zhu Ziqing also took the opportunity to be lazy and sat down on the sofa.

"You ......" Jia Qigong pointed at Zhu Ziqing, speechless for a long time. Chen Qiming and Sun Shouqing also laughed when they saw him embarrassed.

"Why don't you play your cards according to common sense. Today, I just won't let you get your wish, but I'll tell you the good news first. Jia Qigong snorted and said: "The Lin family is very enthusiastic, they won the marriage, and they got engaged the day after tomorrow." ”

"And what about the bad news?" Zhu Ziqing asked cooperatively.

"The bad news is, they also know that you've got three of us old guys as matchmakers. So I also invited a few old friends to accompany you, and you will inevitably have to be tested at that time. ”

"Huh? It can't be. "It's just an engagement, it's just an engagement, it's just an engagement. Even if our engagement ceremony is in a retro way, I haven't heard of this procedure for ancient engagements, right?

"What's not to do. Except for those few essential ceremonies, the rest of the engagement can be added at will. They want to test your talents, and naturally they can. What, you're scared? "Finally avenged with an arrow, Jia Qigong couldn't be happier.

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if, what if?" Of course Zhu Ziqing is afraid, he is a standard parallel import, and he will be exposed if he is not careful. When the time comes, the shame will be small, and the fluctuation in the marriage will be big.

"Then it's useless for you to tell me this, I heard that this is a test set by your future mother-in-law, and you have the ability to find her." Jia Qigong only thought that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid and amused. Will you be afraid of this on the first day?

Zhu Ziqing was already crying and fainting in the small toilet.

Of course, he didn't dare to bargain with Tao Hong. can also think of why she did this, it seems that she still hasn't let go of Lin Bei'er's matter, and she is making trouble for herself here.

In fact, he thought badly, even though Tao Hong was still angry. I won't embarrass one daughter for another. Not to mention the fact that it is such a big thing as an engagement.

What really made him angry was that the old man allowed his daughter out without asking her opinion. She can't make decisions about her daughter's marriage, how can she not be angry?

This anger can't be directed at the old man. can only find trouble with Zhu Ziqing. He also belongs to the lying gun.

No matter how he objected, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he could only accept it helplessly. You can't even want a wife because of this.

Besides, even if he can't answer, isn't there still three masters, but if it really doesn't work, we can ask for foreign help. I don't believe that I can really delay such a big thing as an engagement because of this.

The time was already quite urgent, and the three masters were very particular, and it took three days to barely buy all the required gifts.

On the day of the engagement, Zhu Ziqing was shouted before dawn. Wash and eat, and load the dowry.

Zhu Ziqing's clothes are not ancient men's Hanfu. Rather, it was a light purple suit. Retro is just ritual retro, and what should be improved is still to be improved.

Then the first solemn ceremony, which is essential for a traditional engagement, begins: ancestor worship.

Tell the ancestors that they are getting engaged, and who the woman is. You must bless us in heaven with a happy life, many children and many blessings.

Under the leadership of his parents, he made a symbolic worship to the sky. This is also something that can't be helped, it's all in this era, who still has an ancestor ranking. You can only worship in the air and express your heart.

After worshipping the ancestors, it is time to set off. Zhu's father, Zhu's mother, Zhu Ziqing, plus the three masters, are just six people. Vehicles are also exquisite. The average is six. Twelve are especially solemn, no more and no less.

Zhu Ziqing prepared six. It's not that he doesn't want to prepare. But the Lin family is in a special situation, and there are too many twelve cars, which has a bad impact.

Six big red vehicles traveled all the way, and they attracted many people's attention. However, the benefits are not without it, at first glance, they all know that this is a wedding convoy, and everyone who can make it will give them priority. There were no traffic jams along the way.

This is also a national characteristic. Regardless of the quality, everyone will give way when they see a wedding and funeral convoy. This is a rule that has been ingrained in our bones for thousands of years.

When you get to the entrance of the community 100 meters away. The speed of the convoy slowed down, and Liu Xiaoping got out of the car and lit six cannons, and the sound shook the sky. The Lin family then responded with a cannon.

The only discord is that the community is not inhabited by ordinary people, and there are security personnel watching when the artillery is lit.

Under normal circumstances, guns are not allowed here. That is, the Tao Lin family's business is thriving, and the security personnel have opened this opening. Otherwise, if you want to shoot the gun, you won't be able to.

After the cannon fired, the convoy slowly drove towards the community. met the team greeted by the Lin family at the door.

"Li Zhichao." Jia Qigong seemed to know someone among them, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect the Lin family to invite him over, I will meet him when I go down." ”

When he got out of the car, he said to Zhu Ziqing: "Boy, the test is coming, get ready." ”

Zhu Ziqing's heart hung up all of a sudden. Isn't it necessary to enter the door to be tested? How did it start at this time?

At Lin Baoer's house, he couldn't get up if he couldn't answer, anyway, there were no outsiders, and he didn't throw anyone outside. But at this gate where people come and go, if you can't answer, you will be embarrassed.

Mother-in-law, you are so ruthless. Looking at the crowd gathering more and more, Zhu Ziqing wailed in his heart. For the first time, he felt nervous, and his palms were sweaty.

The one who should come still has to come, Jia Qigong got out of the car and greeted the person who took the lead for a while, and then turned around and let Zhu Ziqing get out of the car.

"Ziqing, this is Mr. Li Zhichao, an expert in paleographic research, come and pay tribute."

Zhu Ziqing saw that he couldn't hide, his heart was horizontal, and he stepped forward and hugged his fists with the mood of seeing death as home: "Hello Mr. Li, I'm Zhu Ziqing, I'm here to give you a salute." ”

The onlookers craned their necks and stood on their tiptoes to look this way. The Lin family has a pair of flower-like and jade-like lotus, and today they are engaged. They were all curious about what kind of lad had plucked the golden flower.

"Haha...... Are you Zhu Ziqing? Good lad. The old man is here to say hello too. "Li Zhichao is very kind, and he speaks kindly.

This should be a good person to get along with, and I guess it won't embarrass me. As soon as this idea came out, Li Zhichao gave him a head start:

"But the old man's task today is not very popular, and I have been invited to test the groom's officer. If you want to get through this door, you have to pass my pass. ”

As he spoke, he clasped his fists and saluted the onlookers. Please bear witness as well. lest this young man say that I cheated and deliberately embarrassed him.

"Okay, we'll do it."

"Haha...... This is good, this is good. ”

The people around looked lively, not to mention how excited. They applauded.

Mr. Li, where is the trust between people? Zhu Ziqing's tears flowed down.

"Please, please."

"I don't embarrass you. You have a deep knowledge of classical literature and are good at writing poems on the spot, so let's make an ancient poem in praise of love today. ”

"Hum" As soon as Li Zhichao's words fell, Zhu Ziqing didn't react, but the crowd of onlookers became lively first. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

Originally, they thought that this test was to make the young man do a few difficult actions and ask a few difficult questions.

But what did he say just now? Poetry? Or is it an ancient poem? Make no mistake, what age is this, and there are still people playing this. Isn't that what makes it difficult?

At that moment, some people were upset: "Old man, you are too strong to be difficult." ”

"That's it, aren't you looking for someone else's boy's stubble?"

"It's not a test at all, it's a deliberate attempt to make a fool of the lad."

In this regard, Li Zhichao seems to have been prepared for a long time and is not panicked. He clasped his fists again and saluted, and said loudly: "Everyone thinks that I am embarrassing people, and that's because I don't know the identity of this young man." ”

Seeing him speak, the crowd gradually quieted down: "His name is Zhu Ziqing, a famous writer and poet in my country, and he is known as a first-day talent. You may not be familiar with this name, so you should have heard of "Seven Nights Fairy Tale", "Shuke and Beta", it is he who wrote ......"

"Oh, it turned out to be him, I said this guy looks so familiar, it turned out to be Zhu Ziqing." At this time, someone in the crowd said.

"Zhu Ziqing? Is that the poet who wrote "Heavenly Market" in Qibao Old Street? It turned out to be him. "Another person has found out.

"The day before yesterday, I went to Qibao Old Street and saw this poem on the stone tablet of Tangqiao. At that time, I thought that it would be nice if such a talented person could meet him. I didn't expect to see it today. ”

Zhu Ziqing's identity was quickly revealed. This is the impression that everyone has of the author. Many people may not know the author's name, but when it comes to the work, many people will feel that it was him.

Zhu Ziqing is the most popular author in the past two years, and his works have been widely circulated. Fairy tales, in particular, are household names.

For Mingzhu people, in addition to these works, I have to mention "Heavenly Market". It can be said that this poem helped Zhu Ziqing blow up the goodwill of Mingzhu people.

The eyes of these people looking at Zhu Ziqing were suddenly different, it turned out that he was Zhu Ziqing. The people who were originally unhappy with Zhu Ziqing marrying Lin Baoer also changed their minds, these two people are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

Of course, no one suspected that Zhang Zhichao was deliberately embarrassing him. On the first day, what is it to write a poem?

Is Zhang Zhichao embarrassing him? The answer is no. Tao Hong is annoyed that he will not let him deliberately make a fool of himself in public.

The reason why she did this was to tell everyone that her daughter was married to the Lord. My son-in-law is the famous writer Zhu Ziqing, don't speculate.

And the test of writing poetry on the spot is not a matter at all in everyone's mind. It's a test for others, and it's a piece of cake for those who write classics like "Untitled" and "The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion" on the spot.

It is for this reason that this test is set up at the door. It is precisely because of their trust in Zhu Ziqing's ability that others did not oppose this practice.

But, can Zhu Ziqing really complete this task? (To be continued.) )
