Zhang Changgong returned home, and when he came to the main room, he saw his beloved daughter talking quietly with his wife, and he didn't say anything, making his wife happy. When they were young, the mother and daughter found that they were in Zhang Changgong, so they stood up to meet them. When Mrs. Zhang saw him when he returned from living with him, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and her face was sad, so she knew that he had something in her heart, and said, "Master, but there is something troublesome about you." ”

As he spoke, he asked people to prepare things for grooming, and wanted him to wash them well and loosen them quickly.

Zhang Changgong waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, I'll tell you something when you sit down." After speaking, he looked at his daughter who was like a flower, and felt even more guilty.

Zhang Qiong saw that her father and mother had something to discuss, so she got up and retired. Zhang Changgong saw it and said: "This matter is related to you, stay and listen to it." After all, he has promised to get married, and sooner or later his daughter will know about it, so it is better for him to say it himself now.

When Zhang Qiong heard her father's words, she was very worried, as smart as her, and after a little thought, she knew what her father said. But how could a person who was so polite as his father tell him to his face? She couldn't understand it, so she waited silently for her father's words. Mrs. Zhang also guessed a few points, but the day before yesterday, she also discussed her daughter's marriage with her husband, after all, Qiong'er is also fourteen years old, and it is time to talk about marriage. But at that time, the husband said that he wanted to keep his daughter for two years, and when he waited until the Academy of Sciences tried to choose a son-in-law, he understood that he wanted to find a scholarly and famous person for his daughter.

Zhang Changgong saw that their mother and daughter were waiting for his next step, so he said: "Someone proposed to Qiong'er today, and I agreed." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was surprised and Zhang Qiong was blushing, although she had thought of it, but she really heard from her father that she was very shy, and said coquettishly: "Father, you, how can you" The word marriage is unspeakable.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy, so she said: "This is a good thing, I don't know whose family." In her cognition, what can make her husband agree, that person doesn't care about his character, he is willing to pick one out of all reason. At this time, her mind flashed the information of the civil officials above the third grade in Beijing, and guessed which one it was.

Zhang Changgong looked at his happy wife, the shy daughter, and said: "Rongguo Mansion Jia family, Rongguo Gong begged to marry Qiong'er for his eldest son Jia Yu. ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't reflect for a long time after hearing this, and stammered: "Master, which family do you mean, Rongguo Mansion? Our family has never had any contact with the Jia family, how can we just want to marry Qiong'er, how can this be?"

When Zhang Qiong heard about Rongguo Mansion, she thought of Jia Min who she met in Beijing Wangfu a few months ago, and admired her ingenuity very much, and her temperament was also liked from time to time. Although we didn't talk much that day, we could also tell from her words that although her brother was not good at civil and military affairs, he was very pure and kind, and he had a good relationship with her.

Now that I heard my father marry her to Jia Yu, although I felt uneasy, I was not disappointed. Good uneasiness is that the future will leave home to live in an inexplicable environment, who this unscrupulous person is. She often thinks about the person she is after knowing the world, and in her cognition, that person must be loyal, pure-hearted, and responsible. As for whether he has fame or not, he doesn't care if he can be named a wife and a son. Wang Changling's "Resentment"

The young woman in the boudoir didn't know how to worry, and she made up on the green building in spring.

Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis.

said what she wanted, the lover can always accompany him, and he doesn't want to regret it after her husband leaves like the woman in the poem, and she is alone in enjoying the scenery.

Zhang Qiong walked in front of her mother, wiped her tears, and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, I have also heard about the son of the Jia family, and it is rumored that it is not true after all." And my daughter has also seen the girl of the Najia family, and her temperament is also good, I don't think Na Jia Gongzi will go anywhere. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang held her hand and confirmed: "Really, you think that Jia girl is very good, if it is Na Jia Yu, what should I do with it, you must know that the nine sons of Longsheng are different, not to mention ordinary people?"

Zhang Qiong nodded, and told her parents in detail about Jia Min's words and deeds in the Beijing Palace, and then said: "Although Miss Jia didn't say much about the things in the house, she also knew from what she said that her eldest brother was raised by Mrs. Jia. She wondered then why Miss Naja had told her eldest brother about her, and now she was very grateful. In fact, what she didn't know was that Jia Min deliberately said these words to her.

Zhang Changgong listened to his daughter's words, and remembered what Qin Ziyi said when he left, "Brother Changgong, I know that you must have heard the rumors of Jia Yu, this is not what it used to be, since Yu'er went to the border gate, she is like being reborn, and it is also different." Besides, you and I are both readers, and it is clear that rumors stop at the wise. I don't know if Brother Changgong has ever heard of Fang Ziqi?" Zhang Changgong has also heard of Fang Ziqi, his humanities and martial arts are both complete and talented, and he is also indispensable to defeating Qianxiang Country this time. Although he didn't know why Qin Ziyi mentioned him, he still nodded.

After Qin Ziyi saw it, he said: "Yu'er is now his disciple, although this matter is the love of the Chengrong Principality, but it is also a test for Yu'er to pass him." ”

Zhang Changgong was very surprised, he didn't expect that Jia Yu, who was rumored to be very unbearable, would be accepted as a disciple by that Fang Ziqi, and the worries in his heart retreated slightly. But he was still worried that Qin Ziyi only said this just to comfort him. But now combined with her daughter's words, she knows that those words are somewhat credible.

He said to his wife again: "Don't worry, I have promised to get married, you better prepare for Qiong'er's marriage, I think that Rongguo Mansion will send an iceman to the door in the near future, and this small day will not be too far away." By the way, how did you prepare Qiong'er's dowry? ”

When Zhang Qiong heard her father ask about the dowry, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, her face was red and her ears were red. Then he said: "Father, there is still something in the daughter's room, so I will leave first." With that, he left.

Seeing her daughter's shy appearance, Mrs. Zhang's sorrow in her heart was also slightly better, and she also understood that now that the marriage was decided, no matter how worried she was, it would be useless. It's better to help her daughter get to know the Jia family well and plan for her future life. Then he replied: "Qiong'er's dowry has been prepared since she came out, but I thought that she would marry into a scholarly family in the future, so what she prepared was some elegant things, but Rongguo Mansion is a meritorious family, I'm afraid it is a little inappropriate." ”

Zhang Changgong thought for a while and said: "Then you add some yellow and white things, those ornaments are also rich and noble, if there is no one at home, let people go out to buy and sell, no matter what, you can't make Qiong'er inferior." ”

Mrs. Zhang also understood how important the dowry was to a woman, so she nodded and said, "Master, don't worry." I'll prepare Qiong'er's dowry and let you see it when it's ready. It's just for his wife to know why the lord agreed to this marriage. ”

Zhang Changgong sighed, handed the silver ring to his wife, and said, "It's because of this silver ring that I have to agree." ”

When Mrs. Zhang saw the silver ring, she knew that her husband was unwilling, and she had heard her deceased mother-in-law talk about it. didn't say anything at the moment, so he took the girl to the treasury and counted her daughter's dowry.

When the three brothers of the Zhang family came back, they objected again after hearing about it, but no matter how he protested, he couldn't change his father's decision, and they only had to turn this anger on Jia Yu, who wanted to marry his sister. Hmph, it's not that simple to marry his sister.

Jia Daishan received a message from Qin Ziyi again, saying that the Zhang family agreed to marry and was very happy. Hurriedly went to his mother's hospital to tell him about it. Jia Yu was also in the old lady's courtyard, and yesterday he heard his sister talk about his father and grandmother about his marriage, and he was very curious. Therefore, after returning home, he came directly to his grandmother's courtyard and inquired around the corner.

The old lady smiled silently, watching Jia Yu twist his posture, just pretending not to understand the meaning of his words, but she was very happy in her heart. Jia Yu saw that no matter how he inquired, his grandmother just refused to say anything, and she was very frustrated, so she wanted to leave and leave. But Jia Daishan walked in with a happy face.

Seeing him like this, the old lady also understood in her heart that the Zhang family had promised to marry, but she still asked excitedly: "Shan'er, has that family already agreed?" and didn't care whether Jia Yu was present.

Jia Daishan was also really happy, and replied: "Mother, that Lord Zhang has agreed to marry, and the son will enter the palace tomorrow to ask for a decree and let the saint give him a marriage." Seeing that Jia Yu was also there, he said: "Yu'er, my father has asked you to marry the young daughter of the Zhang family, the head of the Hanlin Academy, as your wife, you are also an adult, and you must be cautious in your actions in the future, you know?"

Jia Yu replied respectfully: "Father, my son knows. Although he said this, he was thinking about the girl in his heart, and he thought about waiting to wait for his sister to ask if she had seen it.

After the old lady confirmed, she asked Mama Gu to send Mrs. over to discuss Jia Yu's marriage together. and asked the girl to find the big butler and ask him to prepare the carriage for tomorrow's trip, and she was going to Qingxuguan to let the master choose a good day to hold a small decision. Jia Daishan was very funny when he saw that his mother was very busy, and the wife also arrived at this time. stepped forward to greet An and saluted: "Old lady, I don't know what the command is to call my daughter-in-law." ”

Jia Daishan replied for his mother: "The Zhang family has promised to get married, I want to hold a small appointment as soon as possible, and you go and prepare the things to be used." ”

Mrs. was surprised that some things were decided so quickly, and she wanted to persuade the master to choose someone else, but the matter was so far that she couldn't say anything, so she said, "Master, I will prepare well." ”

The next day, after the morning dynasty, Jia Daishan did not leave, but the saint who asked to see him, entered the Yangxin House and bowed and said: "Holy Lord, Weichen has said a family affair for his eldest son Jia Yu, and he wants to touch the kindness of the saint." ”

Emperor Kang Qing smiled: "Oh, I don't know whose daughter Rong Guogong said for that little Jia?"

Jia Daishan replied: "The young daughter of the Zhang family, the head of the Hanlin Academy, the Zhang family has agreed. ”

Emperor Kang Qing thought deeply after hearing this, he had never heard of any dealings between Rongguo Mansion and the Zhang family before, why did Jia Daishan mention his relatives, and Zhang Changgong agreed, and he was very annoyed with this kind of thing that was not in his control. Then he said: "Oh, it turned out to be the beloved daughter of the Changgong family, I can know that he loves his daughter like his life, how the Principality of Rong made him agree." ”

Jia Daishan didn't think Emperor Kang Qing would ask like this, and said cautiously: "Back to the saint, it is not the daughter of the minister who takes a fancy to the adult, and my mother also takes a fancy to it, and it is also the mother who asks someone to propose marriage, as for what the lord Zhang promised, Weichen also doesn't know, but it seems that the mother of the family has some dealings with the deceased mother of the master. ”

After Emperor Kangqing heard this, he thought that Mrs. Jia's family was originally a big family, and it was not strange that she knew the old lady of the Zhang family, so he smiled and said: "I see, Mrs. Jia is really discerning, okay, I know about this matter, and I will make an order tomorrow." ”

On the second day, Emperor Kangqing sent Liang Degui to personally go to Zhang Jia's two families to give marriage, which caused a sensation as soon as the capital came out, and no one thought that the Jia family would finally marry the Zhang family.
