Chapter 190: Chutz Garden
Zhang Jin, whose name is Chengmo, is well-deserved to be the first Confucian in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He is a native of Fengyang, and the world calls him Mr. Fengyang, and because he once drove a Feilu boat to swim in the mountains and rivers, he is also known as Mr. Feilu.
During the period when the Empress Dowager Dou was listening to the government, Zhang Chengmo, who was the supervisor of the wine of the country, wrote to the imperial court and asked the Empress Dowager Dou to return to the government of Emperor Tongde, for which he was exiled to Nanning.
When he was in Nanning, he wrote books and collected apprentices, with the fragrance of peach and plum, and left immortal poems.
After Emperor Tongde took office, he reinstated his official position, but Zhang Chengmo politely declined and left.
Five years later, Emperor Tongde sent Jinyi Wei to capture him back to the capital, and he presented the Great Zhou Yutu, which shocked the emperor and the world.
He has served as the chief examiner many times, written books and said, but he is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and now although he has resigned, the emperor still favors him, and talks with him about the affairs of the world from time to time.
Zhang Chengmo is brilliant in writing, he is a great Confucian in the world, not to mention Luo Shao, even Qin Ye, who has been a scholar for generations, also admires Zhang Chengmo.
But Qin Ye knows better than anyone that in terms of friendship with Zhang Chengmo, he is not as good as Qin Jue.
When Qin Jue befriended Zhang Chengmo, he had nothing to do with the Qin family.
Qin Jue was admitted to Xiucai at the age of eleven, and I didn't know where to find out that there was a strange person in Wuqiao with secret skills, so he ran over and begged others to accept him as an apprentice, but this was a family heirloom, and the man refused to teach him. He went to make trouble twice in three days, and the man learned that he was a child of the family, and it was not easy to offend, so he had to invite a familiar friend to come forward to persuade him, and this friend was Zhang Chengmo.
Zhang Chengmo traveled all over the world and had a few encounters with this strange person, he happened to be in Wuqiao at that time, this person asked him to come forward, but he didn't expect that he not only persuaded Qin Jue away, but was also persuaded by Qin Jue, and he also wanted to learn a few tricks......
In the end, the old and the young forced the strange man to teach a few magic tricks, and then happily returned to the capital together.
Since then, Zhang Chengmo and Qin Jue have become old friends, when Qin Jue was twelve years old, Zhang Chengmo gave him the word "Jade Chapter" in an irregular manner, but Qin Ye didn't want his son to be too public, until Qin Jue was lifted, he let him officially use it.
There is no need for Qin Ye to come forward at all, if Qin Jue asks Zhang Chengmo to go to the Luo family to propose marriage, not only will he not refuse, but he will also go happily.
The reason why Qin Jue asked Qin Ye to invite was just to make this matter more solemn.
Qin Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that the Luo family will not agree?"
Qin Jue's face was solemn: "Luo Langzhong is a low-key person, not a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, he lost his wife at an early age, and he only has a daughter under his knees, and he regards his daughter as a treasure." In the past, he would have agreed, but now that I am famous, he is afraid that he will look ahead and look backwards, dislike me for being too public, and do not want to marry our family. But as far as I know, he admires Mr. Fengyang very much. If Zhang Chengmo is asked to come forward, he will definitely not refuse. ”
Qin Ye frowned, isn't it, now it is rumored everywhere that Qin Jue has killed many people, who would let his daughter marry a person with a strong reputation.
Luo Shao is a two-list jinshi, and it is far more appropriate to ask Zhang Chengmo to propose marriage than to find someone else.
After Qin Jue left, Qin Ye called two Qingke to discuss.
"Master, this matter can't be delayed, with such grace to the uncle today, it is very likely that he will be married. Although it is a great thing to marry a noble girl, as the uncle said, he is a saint, and if he marries a noble girl, the Qin family will be cooking oil on fire, and it will inevitably be criticized by the second master. A Qingke named Ying Shilun said.
Ying Shilun's words are very pertinent, Qin Mu would have been able to make people sick a long time ago, if it weren't for Qin Jue's great contribution, he would have become the scapegoat of the elders.
The four princes are not in favor of supervising the country, and Zhuang Yuan is assisting him, if the four princes have been, Zhuang Yuan's sin is even greater, Zhuang Yuan is scheming, I am afraid that he has long been ready to let Qin Mu, who is the master of the four princes, share the responsibility for him.
Now that the emperor is in favor of the Qin family, bringing out Qin Mu's affairs at this time, it is inevitable that there will be the intention of pulling Qin Jue into the water, and the emperor will never agree.
But after a while, it will be impossible to say, whether Qin Jue is married to the clan or the nobles, the Qin family is the target of everyone, and even if Zhuang Yuan and his protégés do not make a move, the emperor will personally come forward to suppress the arrogance of the Qin family.
Even if Qin Mu is not charged, he must invite himself.
Qin Ye was still not at ease, and asked another Qingke, Wang Baosheng, to inquire about the details of the Luo family.
The affairs of the Luo family were too easy to inquire, and in less than half a day, Wang Baosheng came back.
"The Luo family is a big family in Changping, and they have been farming for generations, and they have only produced one Jinshi from Luo Shao. The Luo family has been divided for decades, and Luo Shao holds the whole house alone. His wife is the daughter of the Li family, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and although the Li family is a merchant, it is also a clean white family. Miss Luo was hoarse when she was young, but it is said that she has been cured, Luo Shao once invited the children of the Lu Chen family to be a western seat for her, and I think this Miss Luo has also read poetry and books. ”
As he spoke, Wang Baosheng presented a piece of paper to Qin Ye, on which paper was Luo Shao's life, which year was the showman, which year was the person, where he was an official, and the annual performance evaluation, which was clear on the paper.
Qin Ye looked at Huo Ying's name on the paper and frowned: "He is Huo Ying's protégé?"
"Yes, but after Huo Ge recovered, Luo Shao took his daughter to travel around, and it wasn't until a year ago that the documents of the Ministry of Officials were sent down, and their father and daughter returned to the capital. ”
Qin Ye also thought so, he nodded, and asked Wang Baosheng: "How old is Miss Luo's family?
Wang Baosheng said: "Luo Shao is married in Tongde for 13 years, Miss Luo was born in Tongde for 14 years, and she is 13 years old this year. Three years ago, Luo Shao traveled with his daughter, and only came back in Layue last year, and because there were no elders and daughters at home, he didn't discuss relatives. ”
Qin Ye sighed: "No wonder he wants to marry the daughter of the Luo family, it is indeed better than the Ren Hanlin family." ”
Wang Baosheng said secretly, not only is it good, Miss Liu of Ren Hanlin's family is not only a drag bottle, but also a merchant girl, and the eldest can't get married, compared with Miss Luo Langzhong, it is a broken household, maybe Ren Hanlin can't even give up the dowry.
Although the foundation of the Luo family is too shallow and there are no heirs, the family background is innocent and the population is simple, Luo Shao is a two-list jinshi, and his concubine marries into the Qin family, which will neither help Qin Jue and make him more reckless, nor will he be like Liu Ruyi, who is suspected of marrying low.
The more Qin Ye thought about it, the more he felt that this was a match made in heaven, and he was in a good mood, and said to the little servant: "Go and see if the second master is back?" ”
As soon as the little guy left, Qin Ye felt that it was inappropriate, the reason why he was in a hurry to propose to Qin Jue was mainly because of Qin Mu's affairs, and this matter should not be discussed with him, so as not to embarrass him.
Thinking of this, he asked people to chase the little guy back, and he asked people to hand over a letter to Zhang Jin.
The next day, Qin Ye brought twelve gifts and went to Zhang's house to visit in person.
