720 Urging marriage
In the end, this is her life's business, Tang Mulan lowered her head, whether Second Master Yu is as Concubine Wen said, she also has to send someone to inquire carefully.
The accompanying grandmother said: "Second Miss, the old slave sent the dog to the south of the city to inquire. There will be a reply soon! ”
Tang Mulan was still not at ease, so she sent her nurse and grandmother to inquire.
It wasn't until dusk that there was news, and what everyone said was not much different from what the concubine said.
Yu Erye's father Yu Jianzhang is the eldest son of Jiang Shuncheng's wife and brother, there are two sons and two daughters in the family, and he remarried Miss Zeng, who is also a member of the Jinyang family, and the eldest son has become married, marrying Jiang Shuncheng's great-granddaughter, and the two younger sisters in the family are knowledgeable and reasonable, and there are several shops and granges at home.
The stepmother opened an embroidery village, and I heard that the business was good, and it was also well-known in the south of the city.
Yu Jianzhang opened an auction house in the West Market, and I heard that the business was booming.
The ancestors of the Yu family were originally the family of eunuchs, but because of the case of the persecution of the concubine of the Jin Dynasty earlier, Yu Jianzhang was forced to abandon literature and become a farmer, but both the children in the family have read poetry and books. What's more, the news I heard said that the Yu family would take root in the imperial city in the future, and their branch followed the same family rules as the Jiang family in Wenzhong Mansion.
"A man is thirty childless and takes a concubine" made her tempted.
If Tang's father only had one wife for her mother, her mother would not be powerless to fight with her aunts, she was powerless when she was young, and she could only hand over the family to her when she was young to take care of her when she was old.
At night, Mrs. Tang invited Lord Tang to the upper room to discuss and said what Concubine Wen meant.
Tang Dadao: "Yu Zhenghao has never been in contact, I know his cousin Yu Jianbai, and I have spoken a few words to Yu Jianbai." He also speaks and behaves decently, and he is a decent gentleman. I see it works! Since they have retired from the Zhang family, they can each be better. It's not a bad thing either. ”
The next day, Tang Mulan told Mrs. Tang. said that he agreed to withdraw from the Zhang family and was willing to engage with Yu Erye.
Mrs. Tang sent someone to reply to Concubine Wen.
*
On the first day of the fifth month, Su Yan returned to her parents' home from Tianlong Temple to worship incense.
I also heard my family talk about Zhang Changxing and Miss Tang.
Jiang Suting was also there, and said to Zhang Shuangshuang with a smile: "This time thanks to the big grandmother." ”
There is some confusion between them, from the Zhang family, Zhang Shuangshuang is Jiang Suting's sister-in-law; From the Jiang family, Zhang Shuangshuang is Jiang Suting's nephew and daughter-in-law.
When there were many people, Jiang Suting called Zhang Shuangshuang "big grandmother", and Zhang Shuangshuang respectfully called Jiang Suting "Mrs. Gu". The children shouted and screamed. From the Jiang family's title, such as Zhang Changxing, he called Zhang Shuangshuang "big cousin-in-law".
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Mrs. Gu is polite, it should be." ”
The Ninth Princess rolled her eyes, "What happened later?" ”
Jiang Suting said with a smile: "The Tang family proposed to withdraw from their relatives, and they withdrew on the morning of April 28, and they were engaged to Yu Erye in the afternoon. ”
Finally done, Jiang Suting breathed a long sigh of relief, and was troubled by Zhang Changxing again. She felt like she was going crazy. There is no her in the Governor's Mansion of Western Hebei, and the second and third aunts may not know how to make trouble.
Cao Yu'e asked: "What about the Yue family, but they agreed to get married?" ”
"On April 29, I sent someone to Mr. Yue's mansion to propose marriage, and Mrs. Yue said that she would reply after the eight characters were met."
The Nine Princesses pondered. "What if the Yue family doesn't agree? I heard that Miss Yue is the pearl of Mr. and Mrs. Yue. ”
Zhang Changxing's ranking in the big exam this time is still promising on the second list, and he has taken the third list and the last results, if it is a second list, it can be regarded as decent.
The bachelors of the Hallym Academy. Everyone is proud, and they may not be able to look down on Zhang Changxing.
The ninth princess felt that this matter was done in suspense. After that day, she thought about it again. If he has a daughter, the other party is engaged, but he wants to break the contract and ask to marry the next lady, even she is too careful, so is it reliable for a man who forgets the old man when he sees the newcomer.
Jiang Suting was a little flustered, she was most afraid of this result. "No...... No......" I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and said: "It's all caused by the evil obstacles, and I have to withdraw from the Tang family, so I will send someone to say that I will agree, and I will ask the result in two days." ”
Zhang Changxing and Miss Yue are different from Jiang Chuanliang and Miss He.
Jiang Chuanliang and Miss He were moved early in the morning, and Miss He should have been moved too, otherwise she wouldn't have worn Jiang Chuanliang's favorite tender green clothes that day.
The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy all have strict family rules, Miss He and Jiang Chuanliang met, and Miss He was going to deliver clothes and food to Ji Lanting earlier. Zhang Changxing only met Miss Yue once at the party, and after seeing her, he said that Miss Yue was good, and Miss Yue might not have an impression of him.
Su Yan asked, "Sister, did Changxing see Miss Yue later?" ”
Jiang Suting said: "I met on my uncle's birthday banquet last time, and I haven't seen it since." ”
She also has an impression of Miss Yue, who looks sweet and always has a bright smile like a flower.
The Shen family felt that there was really a problem at the moment, and if they didn't withdraw from their relatives, the Yue family could say, "Isn't your son engaged a long time ago", and directly refused on this ground. Zhang Changxing withdrew, what is the attitude of the Yue family, whether they are willing to get married, this matter has not been skimmed yet.
Jiang Suting smiled and said to the Shen family: "This matter has to be done by the sister-in-law to go to the Yue family to talk about it." Bachelor Yue, his uncle, and the third brother all have some friendship and can agree. ”
The most suitable thing to say should be He's, but He's mouth is sometimes too disproportionate. The heart is not bad, compared with the other wives of the Jiang family, it is a little selfish. It's no wonder that He's family, just her children are enough of a headache, and she is considered to have the most children in a few rooms, as long as you think about the dowry and dowry when the children grow up, it is enough to worry about it.
Jiang Suting really didn't dare to compliment He, for fear that she would mess up this matter, so she had to ask the calm Shen to come forward.
Zhang Shuangshuang invited Wen Yayun to come forward last time, this time there is no reason to let the family go to the family to say goodbye, the Zhang and Tang families unsubscribed, and the Tang family smoothly engaged to the Yu family, which is also a good thing.
The big girl said, "Old lady, the Korean matchmaker is here." ”
Grandma Han heard Jiang Shien say that the Zhang family wanted to marry Master Yue of Hanlin Academy, Zhang Changxing took a fancy to Miss Yue, Fei Qing did not marry, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders. The Korean matchmaker relied on herself to tell the matchmaker, and actually saved money to buy a second courtyard, and also prepared a decent dowry for her daughter.
Han smiled sweetly and movingly, and saluted again and again: "Greetings to the ancestors!" Greetings to ladies and grandmothers! ”
After worshipping, he saw Su Yan and Jiang Suting there, and said with a smile: "Auntie's wife is blessed!" Blessed is my sister-in-law! ”
The Han family's seniority is too low, and even Zhang Shuangshuang's son Jiang Qijun, who is a few years old, is the same generation as the Han family. It was the Jiang family again, and everyone laughed and made a noise.
The children of the official eunuchs are invited to the official media, and the official media has the marriage certificate presented by the official media office as evidence, which the concubines cannot have, and can be reported in the official government. Although the attitude of the private media is better, the attitude of several official media that are famous in the imperial city is also excellent.
Han has read books, and now he treats the official media as his own livelihood.
Yu asked: "Are you the matchmaker of the Tang family and Second Master Yu?" ”
Han replied with a smile: "Back to the words of the ancestors, it is me." These two families are also fast, the afternoon of the 28th is engaged, early this morning, someone from the Yu family came to the ceremony, let me go to the Tang family to urge the engagement date. ”
Zhang Shuangshuang felt that this was too fast, counting that today was only two or three days of engagement, and he was in a hurry to get married.
Han said: "I asked the officials who knew the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and the Second Master Yu was going to go to other places to be the magistrate of the county, and the Second Master Yu was in the list of the third batch of officials, and I heard that the Ministry of Officials was going to take up the official document before the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
There are thirty people in the first batch, most of them are Jindi people, and they were ordered to return to Jindi as officials, and only a very small number of magistrates have taken office, all of which are counties that have been missing more than half a year of magistrates, and they are anxious to employ people, and they can't find a suitable one for a while.
Under normal circumstances, after the high school gold list, I went home to visit first, and I felt a sense of glory and glory, and I returned to the imperial city three months later.
In the past year, the Ministry of Officials counted the list of officials who were lacking in various places, how many prefectures and counties were different, and how many people should be promoted...... So this time, a group of people who do not need family leave were united, and the appointment documents were written one by one.
Most of the high school students this year have returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives.
There are not many high school jinshi and fellow jinshi who stay in the imperial city, and most of the middle school students who stay in the imperial city are in the imperial city.
Because of the 30 people who issued official documents earlier, their official positions are all very good. The youngest of the persecuted sons in Jin is also in their early thirties, and as long as they are in the top 150 of the second list, they all serve as governors. Those who are located after one hundred and fifty will be appointed to the post of prefect. For example, Zeng Chi and Yu Jianbai both received official documents from the governor of the state of Huijin this time, and they could take office directly as soon as the family leave ended.
The top three on the list all stayed in the ministries and academies of the imperial city.
The people on the three lists have to count only a few people who have received the official documents of the ministry.
The officials should arrange positions for everyone one by one, ask the left and right prime ministers to know, and the big prime ministers will read the instructions, and then the emperor's imperial approval will be granted. Usually, after asking Jiang Shuncheng to read it, the emperor hardly adjusted much, and all the officials did it.
The Jiang family heard reliable sources that although it had only been a little over a month, the officials had already sorted out more than 500 official posts, and the first three batches were 50 people per batch, and starting with the fourth batch, it was set at one batch for every 200 people.
The first three batches are all positions that are urgently needed to be arranged in various places, and those who are at the top of the big examination for the persecution of their sons in Jindi are appointed as governors, and those with poor grades are appointed as magistrates even at the bottom of the three lists.
Those who are not persecuted by the Jin Dynasty are among the second list, or appointed as the revision of the Zhengqipin Hanlin Academy, the seven-grade pen paste style of each ministry, the professor and instructor of each prefecture, the county of Jingxian, the magistrate of other counties, etc., or appointed as the review of the Hanlin Academy, the doctor of Guozijian, the state judgment of Zhili Prefecture, and the state judgment of the Congqipin officials.
The appointment of the top 200 of the three lists of the same jinshi is from the official position of the seventh grade.
The 201st to 500th of the three lists are the eight products that can be appointed as the eight products of the ministries and institutes, the experience of the foreign government, the county of the county, the state of Xuezheng, and the county teaching.
The 501st of the 3rd List to the last 1st of the 3rd List or from the Book of the Eight Rank Hanlin Academy, the government, the state, the county, etc.; or nine products of each ministry and nine products of the pen type, the county master book; or the Hanlin Academy, the criminal capital prison, the state officials, and the inspection; Or alternate officer.
