"It's a great marriage." The prince hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "The daughter of the first-class family has a dowry of at least ninety-six lifts, and her appearance is also sweet and moving. His father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, his mother is the daughter of Jing Zhao Wei, his brother is the head of the Jiadi, his cousin is His Royal Highness the current virtuous concubine, and there is a nephew of the prince - if he can marry such a lady, why worry about the Yue family not paving a straight road to the green clouds for himself? ”

If it is an ordinary person, just considering the various benefits brought by Yang Banniang, he must be eager to marry this little lady and return home. What's more, Yang Banniang was born and beautiful, and she is also quite famous among the nobles in Beijing? What is there not to be satisfied with being able to marry such a beautiful wife?

"Since you think so clearly and clearly, you might as well say it to Yang Shangshu bluntly. As long as you invite the official media to come to the door to propose marriage, he will definitely not listen to Senior Brother Yang's persuasion again, and will definitely accept you as a good son-in-law. Du Chongfeng didn't seem to see the sarcasm in his eyes, and said to himself, "Maybe I can pass on a word for you, so that I can teach the old man to feel at ease." ”

The prince hooked the corners of his mouth: "My marriage, don't bother you." Moreover, I am a little curious, since this marriage is so rare, why don't you fight for it? When your cousin cares about you, he trusts you and values you. You have always admired him, how can you bear to disobey his good intentions? ”

The eyes of the two met, both with a sense of gloom. Obviously, no matter how tempting the marriage was, they still had no interest in it. What about the Yang family? What about Yang Banniang? What about Concubine Yang Xian? What about King Qi? There are always people in this world who don't want to shed the muddy waters of the Yang family, and there are always people who scoff at what they ask.

"You really don't want to marry?" After a long time, Du Chongfeng sighed, his brows tightly locked.

"Don't miss out on a good marriage because of a momentary mood." Wang Zixian continued to persuade "sincerely", "Uncle promised to promise me the little lady of the Pei family." It is not bad to marry the daughter of the Yang family of Hongnong, and it is not bad to marry the daughter of the Pei family of Hedong. The saint also mentioned that he wanted to be a matchmaker with me, and if he could marry the lord of the clan, it would be even more of a blessing for me. Of course, the only person he wants to marry is his own Xin'an County King.

Seeing him so fake, Du Chongfeng was a little tired of listening: "With your temperament, if you want to marry a little lady from a family, do you still need your elders to be your matchmaker?" I must not know when I will spend the moon before the moon, repair the plank road in the light, and dimly Chen Cang. That's it, if you don't marry, don't marry. After all, you and I need to think of a way together, so that the father and son can choose another good son-in-law, don't just think about the two of us. Otherwise, even if you don't want to marry at that time, you have to marry out of desperation. ”

"My temperament?" The prince smiled, "How much do you know about my temperament?" At a young age, it's better not to speculate about others at will. Actually, he was a little surprised. This Du Shishilang really said a bit of his true temperament - he has never been a child of a family who abides by etiquette.

"I'm not interested in you, and I probably don't know you. However, I know a lot about the temperament of the county king and the son. Just by inferring from their words and deeds, you can know what kind of person you are. Du Chongfeng said, ignoring Wang Zixian's actions of raising his eyebrows and looking at him, "Don't mention this, what are your plans?" ”

"It's enough to wait for the saint to be my matchmaker." Wang Zixian had no intention of cooperating with him. Even if Fang Cai had an impromptu idea, after hearing him say "understand the temperament of the county king" as a matter of course, it was all wiped out. Moreover, who knows if this is another ploy of the Yang family?

Du Chongfeng thought that he had offended him by what he had just said, so he had to bow his head and apologize to him: "I was also in a hurry before, if I said the wrong thing, I hope Wang Langjun Haihan." It's just that this matter is related to the future of your marriage and mine, and it must not be neglected. Even for the sake of the face of the county king and Zimu, we should also abandon the previous suspicions and work together. ”

He is not yet fifteen years old, he can bend and stretch, he speaks with a straight face, and his gestures are all calm and graceful, and he is worthy of the reputation of Jingzhao Du's Yulangjun. Li Hui and Princess Changning, who have always been suffering from not having enough people around to assist, have both had the idea of wooing him. But if you think about it carefully, even if you win him over, I am afraid that you will not be able to trust him, let alone entrust him with important matters, so why bother?

Now, an opportunity is in front of them that might be of use to this person. In public and private, Wang Zixian should also give it a try. He silently pondered in his heart, and smiled faintly: "If Shishiro just spoke like this, we wouldn't have to waste so much time in vain. ”

Du Chongfeng was speechless for a while. As a guest, he was indeed somewhat rude; But as the master, Wang Xiangtou is not very tolerant. However, who taught him to come and ask for it? In any case, you have to make a gesture of asking for others in order to truly cooperate, right?

After the two talked secretly for an hour, Du Chongfeng left a post for a few days later and said goodbye. When Wang Zixian sent him to the gate of the vine garden, he suddenly looked at him carefully and sighed: "I finally understand a little, why Senior Brother Yang has been vaguely displeased with you. ”

Wang Zixian smiled slightly: "It's really childish." My cousin and I are like brothers, so why do you say 'dislike'? ”

Du Chongfeng didn't pay attention to his remarks that reversed right and wrong, and said to himself: "People like you, who love you, love you very much, and those who hate you will only be extremely disgusted with you." However, the cousin's disgust is really a little inexplicable. After all, he is very similar to you, and he should be sympathetic. ”

"Maybe it's because it's too similar, that's why I hate it." Wang Zixian was no longer hypocritical, and said lightly, "Not only that, but if anyone who can shake his position appears, he won't feel happy when he looks at it." If you don't go to the Jinshi and don't take away his fame, you will always be a good junior and disciple that he values. ”

"......" Du Chongfeng seemed to have never heard his last sentence to sow discord, and his demeanor remained unchanged at all, "This post was given to you by Mr. Senior brother has already selected Cheng Wei, a first-class jinshi who is in the same department as you, and you are now only harmful to him, and he can't even care about maintaining his affection. ”

"Thank you to Mr. Zhou for me." The prince curled the corners of his lips, "My cousin knows me very well, and he knows that I have been busy preparing for Princess Changning's dowry recently, so he didn't call me." Moreover, in the future, when their group of school scholars gather together to recite poems and compose poems, what does it have to do with me, a mediocre county lieutenant? ”

Hearing this, Du Chongfeng glanced at him deeply, and then left.

When the sun was setting, Li Hui came to the vine garden again. Wang Zi Xianzheng told him about Du Chongfeng, and he heard Mr. Song laughing and returning home from a distance: "Zi Xian is here?" Zi Xian! Hurry up and come out, the old man has a big happy event to tell you!! He smiled very heartily and comfortably, and there was a faint sense of smugness and ostentation.

Hearing this, Wang Zixian and Li Hui glanced at each other. After the two of them stepped out of the study, they saw him striding over, turned around and took out He Cheng who was following him: "Oh, Zixian, this is your second junior brother." ”

"......" The new senior brother was speechless for a while.

The new second junior brother of "......" was a little nervous, and he was also dumbfounded.

Li Hui smiled knowingly - as he expected, Mr. Song had this idea yesterday. At that time, Wang Zixian was thinking about other things, so he didn't notice it.

Mr. Song didn't seem to notice that the two disciples were silently looking at each other, and said to Li Hui in a colorful voice: "The king of the county doesn't know anything, although He Cheng's chess skills are average and his reading is not very thorough, but his regular script is really extraordinary. According to him, since he was able to write with a pen, he spent almost three or four hours of the day practicing calligraphy. In terms of pen power and perseverance, it is extremely rare! ”

Li Hui looked at He Cheng and bowed slightly: "Why don't you write a few words for us to see?" He also wrote very well in his own handwriting, and even his grandfather, who loved calligraphy, did not hesitate to praise him, and he also had a natural affection for those who were good at calligraphy. Moreover, today's saints are also fond of calligraphy - they can write well, and if they can read through one or two more sutras, their future will definitely not be short.

He Cheng nodded, and finally bowed shyly: "Please also ask the master and the king for guidance." With that, he went to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Mr. Song stroked his beard and continued with a smile: "Hmph, those old guys today know that the old man didn't bring a son to offer, so they brought a few new disciples to anger the old man. Who knows, He Cheng just wrote a few words, and their new disciples were all defeated, but it really gave the old man a long face! ”

Listening to him laugh loudly, Wang Zixian and Li Hui couldn't help but slander in their hearts: This is the most important reason why Mr. accepted the new disciple!

"Sir's move is a bit sudden, but the disciple can understand it." Wang Zixian said, "In the future, with the second junior brother Mr. Cheng Huan under his knees, the disciples can also be busy with official duties with confidence." However, after all, the foundation of the second junior brother is not stable, so Mr. should not be too demanding. According to the disciple's thoughts, he is smart enough, and within three or five years, he may be able to understand the scriptures. ”

"The old man's own disciples, don't you know how to teach?" Mr. Song scolded with a smile, "Do you think that the old man doesn't know what else you have in your heart?" On closer inspection, he is much more worry-free than you. Whether it's a major marriage event or a future, you don't have to bother with the old husband, and you-"

Mr. Song laughed twice, looking at the two people standing side by side, all without saying a word.

Facing the ridicule of his elders for the first time, Li Hui felt a little uncomfortable. Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his lips, and pretended not to understand: "Sir, don't worry, the disciple will do his best to handle the matter of the second junior brother, and don't teach Mr. to worry." "Wang Luoniang is already at the age of Jilu, and it really won't take long for her to get married. However, even if she and He Cheng are interested in each other and want to maintain this fate, the difference between the two is still like a moat.

If the patriarch of the Wang clan learned that he had married his sister to an unknown ordinary scholar of the Han family, the reaction would have been very fierce, and the elders of the clan would never approve of it. After all, in the troubled times in the past, even swords faced each other, and they couldn't make the children of the Langya Wang family bend their waists. Now, how can you lightly let your children marry with a poor family? I can't say that those inspectors will jump out and accuse him of "selling" his sister to the Hanmen, which will damage his reputation.

However, if they are brothers, it will be a different fate. Once He Cheng is out, he will be worth a hundred times. For example, those who caught sons-in-law in Chang'an, how could they have cared about what they thought of the family? As a side branch of the declining family, it is extremely rare to be able to marry such a good son-in-law.
