"Uncle Shi, what does the Holy One mean? Didn't the officials figure out my background a long time ago? The problem came too suddenly, and until the next morning, Zhang Qian still felt uneasy, so he went to Zhang Ruoxu's house and asked the senior to give him some guidance.

"What else could it be like? The saint is optimistic about you and wants to recruit you as a son-in-law? "It's rare to see Zhang Qian panic to such an extent, Zhang Ruo was so happy in his heart that he fell into the well without sympathy, "The old man told you that when the saint was young, he was notoriously handsome. The daughters under his knees are all as beautiful as flowers. And there is no real seal under the name of less than 2,000 acres. If you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! ”

"Uncle Shi, the little nephew is asking you about serious things!" Zhang Qian was ridiculed so much that he couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help but protest in a low voice.

"I'm serious with you, too?" couldn't understand why Zhang Qian was so anxious, Zhang Ruoxu glanced at him, and the old god added on the ground, "Princess Shang is still good?" Except for the fact that after getting married, you can't easily take a concubine and visit the Qinglou, everything else is beneficial and harmless to you. And you are not born to be a merryman, although a good skin is wasted in vain. ”

"Uncle Shi, if you tease me again, I'll bring the wine back!" Zhang Qian couldn't bear it anymore and gritted his teeth to warn.

"Don't, don't. Everything you bring to your doorstep, how can there be any reason to take it away again?! When Zhang Ruo heard this, he decisively put away his smile, and pretended to be solemn and emphasized, "Besides, the old man really didn't mean to joke. With Zhao, you are really not young. If not an official, but a civilian. If you don't marry again, the local government can forcibly match you with a wife. At that time, whether you are blind, numb, or lame, you will have to continue. ”

"Datang still has this rule?" Zhang Qian was taken aback, and his eyes widened. found that Zhang Ruoxu didn't seem to be telling a joke, so he couldn't help but gently pat his chest with his hand, "Huh——, it's good that the junior became an official in time......

"As an official, Weinan County can't control you. But if you don't marry when you're older, it stands to reason that there is still a place to manage it. Zhang Ruoxu rolled his eyelids and added with a sneer.

"Ah......" Zhang Qian was stunned again, and was speechless for a long time.

No wonder it's not in the 21st century, so many people are singing dreams of returning to the Tang Dynasty every day. It turns out that in Datang, as long as you can't marry a daughter-in-law, the government is directly responsible for the hair! (Note: The Tang Dynasty stipulated that men and women of common age must be married.) It is a sin to be single, and the government must forcibly marry and evaluate it as the performance of local officials. ）

It's just that the daughter-in-law sent, the quality and affection, how can there be a guarantee? To be honest, it's just treating men and women as cattle and forcing them to provide the next generation of labor for Datang in time.

"However, with Yongzhao's good skin and today's career prospects, it is estimated that Yousi does not believe that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law!" Seeing Zhang Qian's lost soul after being hit, Zhang Ruoxu finally had enough of his addiction, smiled, and turned the conversation back. "And the saint doesn't necessarily want to marry the princess to you, but to help others ask. After all, the saint and the queen are not the only seedlings, and there are a lot of relatives behind the emperor. Maybe there is a relative of the emperor who happens to have a daughter in the family who has reached the age of leaving the cabinet. And parents are worried that after their daughter gets married, they will not be allowed to be in-laws. So, you're the best choice. ”

"Is that so?" Zhang Qian didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Hey, the old man just promised his daughter early, otherwise, the old man would be willing to marry his daughter to you!" Understanding his lack of guidance from his elders, Zhang Ruoxu smiled and added with a little regret, "Think about it, you are only in your early twenties and have made a positive five grades, and your future is not ambitious." Even if you don't have any money on hand, just relying on the money and job fields given to you by the imperial court are enough for you to live a good life. And what you lack most at the moment is family support. For those royal relatives, this is not a problem at all. As for the fact that your parents and elders are not around, it is even more advantageous in their eyes. The pampered daughter of someone else's family, married to her parents, is afraid of being angry with her in-laws. And marrying you, but as soon as you get started, you can be the master of the house. ”

These are all big truths, but no matter how you listen to them, they make Zhang Qian feel awkward. was about to quibble a few words, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ruoxu changed the conversation again and asked solemnly again: "Forget it, don't talk about these useless things." How did you answer Gao Yanfu? Did he give you any hints at the time? You're not going to refuse, are you? That old man really wants to admire you! ”

"Nope! He didn't say anything, and then diverted the topic! Recalling the scene before going to the palace for a banquet yesterday, Zhang Qian shook his head lightly.

Just as he was about to tell the truth about his answer at that time, there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door. Immediately after, Zhang Ruoxu's daughter Zhang Qingxuan walked in with two maids. First bowed to him generously, and then began to take the maid and pour hot tea for his father and guests.

Zhang Qian's heart immediately swelled with some anticipation. While returning the greetings to Zhang Qingxing, he considered his rhetoric in his heart. Before the other party left, he reported to Zhang Ruoxu in a small voice: "Uncle Shi, I told the senior prison gate at the time that I had been married to my junior sister as early as when I was in the master's gate. made an appointment to marry her in three years. Although the contact with the teacher is interrupted at the moment, the manly man can't break his word and get fat! ”

"Senior sister, have you made an appointment to marry her in three years? Really? Have you ever mentioned this to the old man? This time, it was finally Zhang Ruoxu's turn to be surprised, frowning, staring at Zhang Qian up and down.

"Senior sister is fake, but the three-year covenant is real!" Zhang Qian's face was slightly red, and he picked up the tea cup to cover the panic in his heart.

Zhang Qingxuan put down the teapot, squatted down lightly to his father and Zhang Qian, and tiptoed out. Immediately, he intimately asked the maid to close the door of the house.

Zhang Ruoxu's mind was all on Zhang Qian's response, and he didn't notice his daughter's demeanor and movements at all. Pacing back and forth in the room with a teacup in his hand, he asked in a low voice: "Whose daughter has such charm that she didn't marry Yong Zhaofei?" Oh! The old man understands, you are afraid of marrying a princess and being constrained! ”

"Isn't that right?" Without waiting for Zhang Qian to respond, he decisively overturned the conclusion, "The old man said just now, you are not a merry man." Could it be that there is really such a woman who has made a three-year contract with you? It's not right, since you like him, she has you in her eyes. If you marry directly, why wait for three years? Could it be that her parents are snobbish and can't look down on you? But you are now the fifth grade, her parents can't look down on you, who else can they look at? Even the champion and Tanhua, who were originally awarded officials, were only seven grades. ”

Zhang Qian couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his stomach, so he had to wait in silence. That Zhang Ruoxu has been in love for most of his life, and he is by no means an old-fashioned person. After guessing and guessing, he felt that the answer was not valid, so he clapped his hand, laughed and said: "The old man knows, the woman you like has just lost her father." She wants to keep filial piety for her father for three years, so she made a three-year appointment with you! ”

"Uncle Shi, don't guess, anyway, I won't marry anyone in my life except her." Zhang Qian was said to be crying and laughing again, and simply directly picked out his attitude. "The junior came to you today to ask, will I make the saint unhappy if I answer like this. And, if he is unhappy, what will happen. ”

According to the interpretation of another time-space online TV series, who does the emperor give marriage, if the latter dares to refuse, he will not die ten times or eight times, which is not enough to prove that his love is stronger than Jin. Therefore, after he finished his prevarication yesterday, he has been trying to observe Gao Yanfu's reaction. And Gao Yanfu, the general of the prison gate, was already old, and he smiled slightly, and then diverted the conversation elsewhere, from beginning to end, he didn't let him see any clues, let alone give him any hints.

However, Zhang Ruoxu was very unimpressed with his worries. "Are you going to be happy about it? It can only be a relative of the saint, even if it is the biological daughter of the saint, and it will not treat you differently because you answer like this. ”

lest Zhang Qian not believe it, he paused, and then explained in a low voice: "You have made great achievements and the country many times, how can the saint abolish the public for personal reasons?" Besides, as the saying goes, the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married. Every year, he is counting on marrying a princess, and the county lord and the county lord are like flowers, and they can line up all the way from the east gate of Chang'an to the west gate. Why would people hang themselves on your tree alone?! ”

"That's good, that's good!" The screenwriters of the online TV series despised countless times in his heart, and Zhang Qian finally felt the clouds on his head disperse, "Thank you Uncle Shi for solving your doubts, the younger generation still has some miscellaneous matters today, so I won't bother you." Today's wine is full of osmanthus aroma, how about you taste it first? If ......"

"Don't be busy, you haven't said whose daughter it is?!" In Zhang Ruohu's heart, the fire of gossip was burning. I didn't even bother to taste the new wine, and chased Zhang Qian and asked. "Hurry up and say it, maybe the old man can help you inform her in front of her family, so that she can take off her filial piety clothes as soon as possible. The daughter's family is aging fast, and the days when the spring flowers are budding are not a few days in total. It's not like this kind of filial piety if she wants to do her filial piety......"

"Uncle Shi, you taste the wine slowly, the juniors are leaving!" Zhang Qian has already made use of the most likely way to deliver news to the Ruby Girl, how can he be willing to accompany the old-timers to talk about his own gossip. He arched his hand and fled.

He has long legs and fast feet, and he has long been familiar with the Zhang family. Therefore, without much effort, he got rid of Zhang Ruoxu's "pursuit" and came to the path outside.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the place where he had last met the Ruby Girl, and knowing that it was impossible, he still couldn't help but quietly raise his head and look around. I can't wait for the girl to ride a horse to come to her again, even if it's just passing by, after all, you can look at each other to relieve the lovesickness in your heart.

However, this time, God did not fulfill him. He walked all the way back to his door from Zhang Ruoxu's house, and said that the ruby girl, he didn't even see a horseshoe mark.

Just when I felt a little lost in my heart, I looked up sharply, but found that a large number of people had gathered at the door of my house. Men and women seem to be more lively than festivals.

Since the last time, a blind little official came to knock on the bamboo bar, but was scared away by Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Qian remembered that his door, it had been a long time since it was so lively. He coughed lightly and strode over.

"The owner is here!"

"The owner is here!"

"The owner is finally back, look at this stinky and shameless guy, do you dare to fart!"

"It's clear that he's here to blackmail, but he found such a nice excuse!"

"his grandmother's Buddha, the Buddha never blessed us. It's the owner of the village, so that we can make money and food in the winter! ”

"Owner's ......"

The onlookers heard the coughing sound and talked about getting out of the way, and everyone's faces were full of anticipation.

"What's going on, butler?" From the discussion of everyone, Zhang Qian vaguely sensed that a villain had come to the door, slowed down vigilantly, frowned and asked Ren Quan who was in the center of the crowd.

"Donor, little monk Hui'an, this is polite!" Before Ren Quan could speak, a young monk who looked three times better than a nun had already taken the initiative to greet him.

"You're welcome!" Zhang Qian glanced at the other party and waved his hand gently, "What are you doing at my house?" Zhang is a child of the Mo family, and his teacher has training: if you don't hear or see, you must think that there is nothing! ”

This phrase comes from the classic Mohist classic, "Ming Ghost". It is equivalent to directly telling the other party, don't use the Buddha's ghost to fool people. Unexpectedly, the little monk Hui'an was not angry at all, raised one hand again, saluted him, lightly opened his lips, and said with a smile: "Mozi Zhixian, I also admire Buddhism very much. The little monk came today, but he didn't debate with the donor about the existence of ghosts and gods. Do you want to have a good relationship with the donor? ”

"Good karma?" Zhang Qian frowned again, turned his body sideways, and resolutely refused to give the other party a chance, "Forget it, I don't believe it, you and I will definitely have no chance." ”

"The donor laughed!" Hui'an smiled like a delicate flower shining on the water. In an instant, several girls in the crowd were ashamed of themselves, "The little monk heard that there is an ancient well in the donor's house, which gathers the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, I made a special trip to this well for the purpose of worshipping the Buddha. If the donor does not hesitate to give up, in the next three years, the Buddha will inevitably bless all those who sincerely worship the Buddha in the entire Weinan County, all of whom are free from illness and suffering. ”
