Chapter 364: The Old Man's Thoughts
"Cousin, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, Kang Jierong flashed out, smiling innocently and kindly.
Nianfu looked back at her, "Why are you here?" ”
Kang Jierong showed a little sadness, glanced at her, and then looked at the person next to her, wanting to speak.
Nian Fu ordered someone to go down and take her into the house, "What's the matter?" ”
Kang Jierong said in a low voice, "Grandmother wanted my brother to come and report his name, but my brother didn't agree and was punished for kneeling again." ”
Nianfu was a little speechless, what happened to this Aunt Kang? Didn't Daddy refuse thoroughly last time? Why haven't they given up?
However, looking at the look of help in Kang Jierong's eyes, Nianfu said, "I'm sorry, this is your family matter, and it's inconvenient for me to ask." ”
Although he sympathized with the innocent Kang Shoujing, Nianfu was not impulsive enough to fight this grievance. If she really went, that would be for Aunt Kang.
Hearing her say this, a different color flashed in Kang Jierong's eyes. However, she hung her head, covered it up very well, and sighed again, "Actually, it's really not easy for the eldest brother." I always thought that it would be nice if he could marry a good sister-in-law and come back to help him. ”
Hmm, then you have to be able to do it with one vote from the Kang family, otherwise you can't only be a gas bag like Kang Shoujing? Nian Fu said, "It is also a blessing for your brother that you have this heart, and you have time to help him talk about it in front of your elders." ”
Kang Jierong was a little unable to answer, paused and said, "Actually, I think my brother sometimes really doesn't need to be so obedient, if he can be a little worse and disobedient, he may suffer a lot." ”
Nian Fu said, "Since you know the Tao." Why not persuade him? ”
Finally got to the point. Kang Jierong's eyes widened, with an incredible expression, "But I'm his own sister, if I persuade him, wouldn't that make him go against his grandmother and father?" Why don't you help persuade him, cousin? ”
I don't want to go to it. She's not idle and moldy, so why should she find something to do for herself? And even if he said it, can Kang Shoujing really become bad?
He didn't have a biological father to support him, and he was carrying a big burden like Aunt Kang and his second uncle and aunt, so he really had tofu falling into the ash heap, and he couldn't throw it away. Touching and not touching. Unless Kang Shoujing dares to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety. Go out and make trouble, but in that way, even if he can live happily, his reputation in this life will be completely over.
I can't say anything about it. Kang Jierong couldn't help it. I gossiped about her again. And he went back.
Nianfu, who was idle, went to pick up the threshold again, Ouyang Kang's kid, why didn't he come to propose?
The daughter is in a hurry. The mother's also got angry.
Unhappily counted the child and her father, "You too, what kind of method is not good, just make this method out, if the kid of the Ouyang family fails the exam, you look back and see how your daughter is anxious with you!" ”
Mu Shao was diligent and assured by his daughter, so he was very calm, "My daughter is not such an ignorant person. Besides, if he fails the exam, it is because he has no ability, and he can't complain about others. ”
"What do you really think your daughter is so good-tempered? I'll tell you the truth, if you don't want Ouyang Kang to win, your daughter will definitely not be finished with you! By the way, did the Ouyang family sign up? ”
The subordinate replied, "Not yet, the county lord has been asking." ”
"See? See! Hui Niang suddenly said hurriedly, "Why don't you send someone to inform the Ouyang family quickly?" ”
"How could he not know such a big news?" Mu Shaoqin continued to be as steady as a rock, "If he doesn't even have the courage to sign up, he doesn't have to think about it anymore." ”
"I'm really sick and meet you slowly! Leave you alone, I'll see my daughter go. ”
When Hui Niang left, Mu Shaoqin frowned slightly, revealing a trace of uncalmness. That kid won't really be hit by the first few applicants, and he won't even have the confidence to sign up, right?
If he really doesn't come, will his daughter complain about herself for the rest of her life? Mu Shaoqin couldn't sit still, but if it wasn't for that Chai Rong who took 10,000 taels of gold to beg Gao Xian to protect the media, would he have made such a decision?
Money is what the emperor urgently needs.
Disaster relief and reconstruction, resettlement of victims, there are as many places to spend money as the sky is full of stars, 100,000 taels of silver is not enough at all, but it can indeed solve a temporary urgent need.
The emperor really needs this money so much.
Do you really think that when he becomes the emperor, he is the broadest in the world? Wrong! Whoever sits on that dragon chair knows what it means to be poor.
The wounds left by decades of war cannot be healed with the reconstruction of the new dynasty, and the capital seems to be prosperous, but a large amount of wealth has been hoarded with the war, and it has nothing to do with the emperor himself.
In the first five years, the government of the Great Liang Dynasty was basically losing money, and it has been investing in various ways, demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, barely maintaining the operation of the dynasty. Waiting until last year, the situation finally improved slightly, and Gao Xian thought that he could finally take a breath, but a snowstorm at the end of the year used up the little money he had saved up with great difficulty.
And there is still a war outside the Guan, and the alliance has just been negotiated with the Qiyan tribe, and it is about to be officially announced to the world, which means that the Great Liang Dynasty must support the Qiyan tribe.
To put it into practice, it all has to be spent in vain.
Gao Xian needs money, but not to the point of selling his cousin for 100,000 taels of silver. But Chai Rong is very smart and just asks him to protect the media, he can earn 100,000 taels of silver for nothing just by selling face, can he not be moved?
If you want to earn this money, how can you earn it without hurting your relatives? After thinking about it for several days, Gao Xian invited his uncle to discuss.
Mu Shaoqin is a smart person, and he immediately heard the emperor's embarrassment. But if he wants to trade his daughter with others, no matter how much it is for the sake of the country's interests, he is unwilling.
The emperor originally proposed a solution, he first came to protect the media, and then asked Mu Shaoqin to excuse himself from illness, or to pray for the deceased people of the Mu family or something, and refuse this family business.
But Mu Shaoqin had other ideas.
After going home and thinking about it for several days, he wanted to simply use this excuse to seriously choose a husband for his daughter.
No matter who wants to apply for the exam, they must pass the public assessment, and the best is of course merit-based admission. As long as this Chai Rong is not a powerful existence against the sky, Mu Shaoqin will always have a way to convince him halfway. If you really can't brush it off, it can only prove that this man is too strong, so Mu Shaoqin doesn't feel anything wrong with marrying his daughter to him.
turned around and told the emperor about his idea, and immediately hit it off.
Gao Xian had long wanted to break the boundary between nobles and commoners, and the opening of the imperial examination was the same, and so was the marriage.
It just so happened that Zhuo Ge, the second prince of the Qiyan tribe who came to form an alliance, also had the intention of marrying. Gao Xian was very angry and directly pushed his two daughters out.
It's okay to ask for marriage, but whether to marry or not, this initiative is still in his hands.
In fact, Concubine Xian and Changle are purely blind and nervous, if Gao Xian agreed to marry Fanbang, he would have allowed it a long time ago, and his attitude at the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet last year was very clear, but the mother and daughter just couldn't see through the situation, and they were still worried about this open recruitment examination, for fear that they would marry Fanbang and not be able to live. But now they are more worried about marrying a commoner, but they don't want to think about it, if there is really a poor and white young man who can be looked up to by Gao Xian, it will also be a dragon and a phoenix among people. What are you afraid of marrying such a person?
However, these words can only be understood, not spoken.
Gao Xian didn't say anything, and only handed over the matter of choosing a son-in-law to the queen and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and let them worry about it.
However, compared with the three talents on the side of the lord of Jiashan, although the number of applicants on the side of the two princesses is large, the quality is obviously too far behind.
Lin Huai'an is okay, Chai Rong and Gongsun Hong's reputation is too great, one is rich and rivals the country, and the other is a young hero, so no matter which of the two is pulled out, they are absolute candidates for the horses, but now they are competing to be county horses, where do they put their princesses?
Deqing is okay, he has a gentle temperament, even if he has a little pimple in his heart, he will persuade himself to pass, but Changle is not convinced.
"She is the county lord, we are the princess, why can't we choose the candidates first?"
Deqing couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "In terms of seniority, she is our aunt, even if she is in front, we have nothing to say." ”
"What about my aunt? This is a lifelong event, don't you want to choose a good husband? ”
"What can you do? If people are interested, they have come to sign up early, but if they don't come, what's the point of forcing it? Although Deqing is a little gloomy, the reason is still very clear.
Ke Changle choked up, and said, "Even if we don't compare with my little aunt, can't we compare with a few sisters?" Who did they marry in the past, but who are they who are coming to us to sign up now? Even the petty officials of the seventh or eighth grades are embarrassed to come over, I feel ashamed to look at it! Are you willing? ”
Deqing was also a little unhappy when he said this, "But what can I do now?" Do you want your father to take back his fate? ”
"Of course, it's impossible to take back your fate, but you can always ask my father to order a few people with status to let us choose, right?"
Deqing was a little moved, Changle pulled her, "Let's go, let's go to my father together, and talk about it together, it's a big deal to cry again, my father may not agree." You don't have a mother-in-law, if you don't fight for yourself for this kind of thing, it will be too late to get married. ”
That-Deqing was still hesitating, so she dragged her to see Gao Xian.
The daughter is a coquette, and she is about to choose a colt again, even if she knows that they will give her a headache, Gao Xian still fulfilled her duties as a father and took time out of her busy schedule to meet them.
Chang Le pouted and sprinkled, "Father, you are so busy, you don't have time to pay attention to us." My sister has been crying for days, and you don't know what to do, right? ”
Deqing's face froze, and Zhilu Dao was calculated by this sister again, but at this point, she could only stand up and say, "Father, not only the sons, but even Changle is also very sad, I think you don't care about us anymore." ”
If you want to go into the water, go down together, but don't want to use her as a gunman.
Changle was a little sneering, but in the end she didn't fight for anything, the sisters sang and said their grievances.
Gao Xian smiled when he heard this, "What else should I do?" It turned out that the disciple of the person who was asking for marriage was low. So you see, these are the ones you like? ”
