75 propose

A few days before the first year of Great Qin. Ying Ben, the head of the carriage, handed a silk letter to King Qin in the study, and said, "This black boy is not simple! ”

King Qin unfolded the silk book and read it, and the content in it was the life of Montenegro. He lives in Zhangjiazhuang, Dahe Township, Nanyang County, as a helper. Before the age of fifteen, he did not eat enough food and clothing, and at the age of fifteen, he suffered from smallpox and did not die. In the same year, Nanyang returned to Qin, and Montenegro offered the sickle to the first knight. At the age of sixteen, he was accepted as a disciple by the Confucian master Meng Zhao, during which he was promoted to the rank of doctor after solving assassination cases and espionage cases. In the same year, he joined the army and offered a horseshoe and was promoted to the head of the left house. At the age of seventeen, he led people into the hinterland of the Huns many times, won countless victories, and also innovated the treatment method, offered a cross pickaxe, grabbed the head of Mandan to his wife and son, and designed to make the Huns kill each other. The dedication of water wheels made Daqin increase millions of acres of fertile land, and the dedication of lightning rods prevented the Temple of Heaven from being struck by lightning again. At the age of nineteen, he destroyed Zhao and built military exploits again, designing to exterminate tens of thousands of bandits in the Five Elements Mountain. What is written later is the situation of people who are close to the black relationship, and King Qin focused on the information of the big girl.

After reading it, King Qin's gloomy face showed a satisfied smile and said, "It's still Xue'er who has the eyesight to pick such an excellent colt for herself!" ”

"Looks like I'm busy with this old bone again!" Lao Yingben said with a smile.

King Qin immediately issued several edicts in succession. The first is the marriage of the eldest girl and Mai, and Wang Jian is the matchmaker. The second order was to rebuild a mansion on the site of Wenxin Houfu, and ordered Montenegro to be the supervisor. The third Taoist prime minister Wang Juan personally went to Tongbai County to invite the Confucian master Meng Zhao to Xianyang.

Daliang built a mansion, and when Montenegro and several nieces were using the telescope and microscope made by his second brother to observe the scenery of the transportation place and observe various bacteria, he received an edict from the king of Qin. After reading the edict, it was even more inexplicable! I don't know why King Qin let himself supervise the construction of the mansion! Fortunately, the first year of the year will come soon, and the start of work will also be after the first year of the year. It also made people transfer the planning map of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to study it strictly.

When the news that the King of Qin would send Wang Juan to invite Meng Zhao reached the ears of Black Mountain, it had already spread throughout Xianyang City. Montenegro ordered his family to pack up a quiet and independent courtyard, purchase all kinds of furniture and daily necessities, and wait for the arrival of the teacher.

When the big girl and Mai, who were thousands of miles away, received the marriage edict from the King of Qin, they were very surprised! With the titles and official positions of the two of them, it is impossible for the King of Qin to marry. In the end, both of them thought that it was Montenegro who made a statement to the king of Qin, so the eldest girl was full of resentment, but Mai was very grateful.

The first day of the year of the Qin State was ten days off, and the aroma of wine and meat was everywhere from Xianyang City to every pavilion! Everywhere there were people wearing new clothes to visit relatives and friends, drinking and singing.

The social relations in Montenegro are simple, except for visiting Wei Yu, Zheng Guo, and Zhang Cang, he and his group of subordinates drink and sing every day.

On the morning of the sixth day of the first day of the year, after breakfast, I was about to go out for a stroll, and my family came to report: "Da Liangzao, there is a person who calls himself Yingben to visit!" ”

When Montenegro heard this name, he was really startled and hurriedly went out to greet him. Although the elder of the carriage is only in charge of royal affairs, he is respected by everyone. He was the only person in the world who dared to point at King Qin's nose and scold. Ying Ben, the youngest son of King Zhaoxiang and the uncle of King Qin, was a good soldier since he was a child, and he was a soldier in the Baiqi Army under a pseudonym for several years, from the big head soldier to the commander of ten thousand masters, and every level of officer has been a soldier. If it weren't for Prime Minister Fan Sui's strong opposition, King Zhaoxiang almost abolished the crown prince and replaced Yingben. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of King Qin. Since Ren Zongzheng, law enforcement has been like a mountain, and no one in the royal family dares to break the law.

Montenegro took his family and greeted him out of the door, and saw Yingben wearing a black robe of Gebu cloth and green silk tied hair, just like an old man from the countryside, he dared to hurriedly salute and said: "Lord Zongzheng is coming, Montenegro is not far away, and it is rude!" ”

Yingben said with a smile: "The old man loves to run around the door at the beginning of his life, you can go busily!" I'll talk to the old lady for a while and then leave! Go, go, go! ”

This is obviously to drive Montenegro away, and I only talk to my mother about something. Montenegro had no choice but to invite Yingben into the living room and left by himself, thinking that his mother must have asked people to go around to ask people to go to the old coach!

The small courtyard in the northwest corner of the Montenegro Mansion is where Nobita, Fan Xu, Dong Jian, Meng Hao, Meatloaf, and Brother A Hei live here. Nobita's fine iron rod has been trained to perfection, and the original fat of more than 400 catties is less than 300 catties, but his strength is much greater than before, and now he can speak fluent Guanzhong. Fan Xu has been here for four months, diligently practicing the most basic White Crane Fist every day, and also practicing some Qin Jun's sword and shield. Much progress has been made. In two months, Fan Xu will return to Pei County. Li Shiqi is about to move out of the mansion, and there is a lack of civilian helpers around Montenegro, so he secretly plans to wait for Fan Hao to return to Pei County, and find a way to get Xiao He to his side!

Montenegro is messing with his men! Zhang came in and called: "General, the old lady will let you go over first!" ”

Montenegro hurried back, saw only his mother sitting in the living room, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, where is Master Zongzheng?" ”

The mother stood up and smiled at Montenegro, as if she hadn't heard Montenegro's question, and said happily: "My son is a great man, no wonder so many ladies don't look down on any of them." So you've been waiting for the princess to grow up! ”

"Grandma, what do you say? Why can't I understand? Montenegro asked with a puzzled expression.

"Just now, that Master Zongzheng introduced you to a family affair, and the other party is the fourth princess today! I've promised to come down. Master Zongzheng told you to find someone to propose marriage quickly! Don't push it again this time! I'll go and prepare a gift, and I'll let Uncle Yixing go. "Zhang Yixing is Zhang Jin's father, in terms of seniority, Montenegro wants to call him uncle, and the husband and wife have long come to Xianyang to live with Zhang Jin in Montenegrin Mansion. After the mother finished speaking, she had to ask Zhang Jin's father to come over.

"Grandma, don't worry. Do you think it's as simple as a rural person proposing to marry and catching a chicken and two catties of bacon? asked Uncle Yixing to propose marriage to King Qin, but before he entered the door, he had to be scared to pee! Montenegro hurriedly stopped his hot-headed mother.

"Zhang Jin, you go and ask Li Shiqi to come over!" Montenegro commanded. I was also thinking: "Although the four princesses have never met, they often hear Lang Wei mention it!" Legend has it that she looks like a city and a country, and she is the absolute treasure of King Qin. Lang Weizuo Wei Wang Li and Li Si's son Li You boasted about Haikou a year ago, and when the four princesses and Lu were the first to propose, they vowed to marry the four princesses home. I was still cheering for Wang Li at that time! ”

After a while, Li Shiqi came, and Montenegro explained the matter in detail, and said, "I want to hear your idea!" ”

"Old lady, are you sure that Lord Zongzheng is asking us to propose marriage, not to say marriage?" Li Shiqi asked.

The mother replied: "It's a proposition, he was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he specially explained it twice, isn't this the same as proposing marriage?" ”

"There is a big difference between saying that affinity and proposing proximity! As for kissing, as long as you ask someone who can speak the Tao, it is best to ask someone around King Qin, and everyone is not ashamed of whether it is successful or not. Not only should you prepare rich gifts, but you also need to find two highly respected people to do it for you. Lao Zongzheng asked you to go and propose marriage quickly, it can be seen that it is the meaning of King Qin, King Qin is an urgent son, you better do it as soon as possible! Li Shiqi said.

"So, that old Zongzheng just came over to let us go and propose marriage now?" Montenegro asked.

"That's right, you can go and ask Zheng Guo and Wei Yu to cut Ke for you. Listen to them before you plan for the next step. Li Shiqi reminded.

King Qin's impatience, Montenegro knew about it, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately brought a set of tea sets and wine utensils to Zheng Guo's mansion to visit Zheng Guo. After the two sides saluted, Montenegro explained the purpose of this visit.

Zheng Guo smiled and said, "You came to me, you have found the right person, half a year ago, the eldest princess and the Feng family boy got engaged, and I was one of the matchmakers." Even if King Qin doesn't bring it up first, the old man can go and say goodbye for you. ”

"In that case, everything is up to the old order!" Montenegro was overjoyed, and said busily. Zheng Guo is now one of the Nine Qing Emperors, in charge of the empire's finances and taxes, and has won the trust of the King of Qin. But he usually only wears a Ge cloth shirt, and never leaves his hand with an iron ruler to explore water, and the same is true when he enters the palace to see the King of Qin, and he will wear a silk official uniform unless the Great Dynasty will wear it, and he is the only minister who can bring a "weapon" into the palace. But his proudest official position is the Hequ Ling, when he was promoted to Datian Ling eight years ago, the King of Qin remembered his hard work and high achievements, and wanted someone else to replace him in the Hequ Ling. He would rather not do the Daejeon Order than give up the River Canal Order. Now, he has long been in a high position, and the common people are accustomed to calling him Lao Hequ Ling, and all the officials in the Qin Dynasty are respectfully calling him Lao Ling.

After discussing with Lao Ling, I learned that to marry the royal family, first of all, the man has to find someone to be the main media, and then each party will find a representative to be the matchmaker, which is the three media. The process is as follows: Nacai, Asking for Name, Najib, Najib, Recruitment, Invitation, and Welcome. Nacai refers to the man's family asking the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to propose. Asking the name refers to the male and female families, and ask the matchmaker to ask each other's name and birthdate, and ask the diviner to calculate the good luck. Najib said that after receiving good luck, the two parties decided to get married. In this era, there are more women and fewer men, and the dowry is very few, and if the woman does not have a rich dowry, many of them will die alone or can only be a concubine, and their status is only a little higher than that of a servant. The invitation period refers to the man's family choosing the marriage date, preparing the gift to tell the woman's family, and asking for her consent. Greeting means that the groom personally goes to the woman's house to greet him.

After chatting, Lao Ling asked his family to bring red silk to tie an auspicious knot with the tea sets and wine utensils sent by Montenegro. Let the relatives take it with them to enter the palace.

Montenegro hurriedly said: "This gift is for Lao Ling, from the palace, I will prepare another one immediately." ”

Zheng Guo smiled and said, "You still don't know King Qin's quick temper? He asked you to propose, you went early, he was happy, you put it off until tomorrow, I bet he would definitely send a messenger to your house to reprimand you. You'd better go and ask Wei Yu to prepare! Within three days, a family affair will definitely be decided. ”

Zheng Guo entered the palace, and Montenegro prepared another gift to find Wei Yu.

"Congratulations Montenegro! As soon as Wei Yi met, he immediately said hello to Montenegro.

"How does the lieutenant know that I am here today because of a happy event?" Montenegro asked curiously. I secretly thought, Zong Zheng has not left my house for an hour, so he won't be here so soon!

"Ten days ago, you were beaten by the King of Qin, and Zong Zheng came to the state to copy all your files. I just ordered you to be in charge of overseeing the construction of the government. This morning, I met Master Somasa on the road, and he said that he was going to your house as a guest. So, I'm sure you're a kid in luck. Wei Yi said, approached the black mountain again, and whispered: "Are you going to be a colt?" Ask me to be a matchmaker! ”

"As the national lieutenant said, but I was beaten by the king of Qin, and I still don't know why, I think about it every day, and I can't sleep well! Does it have something to do with this? Montenegro asked.

"I've been with King Qin for eight years, and I also grew up watching the fourth princess, she is the treasure of King Qin! The fourth princess and Lu Shi were sick, and the king of Qin ignored political affairs for two days. And after you were beaten by King Qin, not only did King Qin start working normally, but the fourth princess's illness was also cured! When the edict was issued to you to repair the mansion before the year, I also wondered. Today Zong Zheng said that he was going to your house, and when I thought about it, I understood everything! The fourth princess's illness must have been caused by you, so King Qin beat you up violently, and he was ready to marry the fourth princess to you! Wei Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"No wonder that day, King Qin said that I stole his treasure! Before I can explain it, that's the reason! But I am usually outside the palace, and the number of times I enter the palace is only a handful, and I have never even seen the four princesses! I've been beaten so badly! Montenegro said.

"You'd better go back and buy some powder to wipe your black face! Save the fourth princess from regretting when she sees you. The vegetables that people have worked so hard to grow have been arched by your pig, how many people want to be beaten by this, but they have no chance! Wei Yu said, "There are only a few days off a year, and I have to go for you for three days." When your teacher comes, I'm going to have him make it up to me. I'm going to talk to him for three days and three nights. ”

Sure enough, as Zheng Guo expected, in only three days, he completed the collection, asking for names, Najib, and recruitment, and sent the invitation and greeting in person.

The news that Montenegro would become a colt spread all over Xianyang City at once, and people were saying: "I have been beaten for more than ten days, and now I am a colt, and this meal is worth it." Later, it was passed on: "General Montenegro was on duty in the palace and peeked at the fourth princess taking a bath." King Qin was furious, beat him with his own hands, and prepared to behead him in Weishui Caotan to show the public, at the critical moment, the four princesses came out to rescue him, and promised each other. King Qin had no choice but to marry the fourth princess to him. ”

In the private room of Salted Fish House, Li You has already drunk two jars of wine! Today he came with wine to drown his sorrows! Repeatedly: "Where am I inferior to him, appearance?" Talent? Family? If she chose Wang Li and Wang Wen, I also admit it, why did she choose him? I'm not convinced. ”

"Li Gongzi, aren't they still married? You still have a chance! The person who spoke was dressed in white, with two beards and triangular eyes, and it was Li Weixu, the Qintianjian Eunuch. Li Weixu came from the Chu State, and his ancestors had only one occupation within ten generations, which was to watch the changes in the stars, measure the changes in the direction of the sun, and formulate agricultural solar terms according to the changes in the length of the sun's shadow. In the Chu State, it has been tepid, until one of his ancestors, who perfectly combined astronomy and Wuzhu, immediately became popular in the palace of the King of Chu, and also became a prominent family in the Chu State. In his father's generation, his uncle inherited the position of Wuzhu of Chu. There is no place for him in the state of Chu. At this time, his father's friend Li Si became popular in the Qin Kingdom, and he came thousands of miles to take refuge. Under Li Si's operation, becoming a petty official of Qin Tianjian is only equivalent to a doctor. Li Weixu has his own ability, and when the King of Qin wants to send troops, he will say that it will be good luck that day, and he will win the battle. If there is any natural disaster, he can always find the person who is guilty and exonerate King Qin. He knew that King Qin was the real Heavenly King. Two and a half years ago, the lightning rod of Montenegro not only discredited him. For more than two years, the Temple of Heaven Palace has not been struck by lightning again, and some people have openly doubted the identity of his god spokesperson.

"They are already engaged, and the whole Xianyang knows about it, do you have a way to get them out of the marriage?" Li You asked.

"Li Gongzi's family has a great kindness to me. Li Gongzi has something, and I should do the work of dogs and horses. Li Weixu approached Li You's ear and whispered.

When Li You heard this, his face changed, and he was half sober. said contemptuously: "The four princesses chose Montenegro to be their concubines, and each has its own advantages, but this does not mean that I am inferior to Montenegro." I, Li You, the head of the four horses of Xianyang, I still disdain to use this kind of villain method. With that, he stood up. After tidying up his clothes, he was a personable son, smiling, and left Xianyangju in a chic manner.

Li Weixu was embarrassed and didn't know what to do! said to himself: "Montenegro, you smash my job, I swear to you that I will not stand on the other side, let's see." After speaking, he slammed his fist on the table, causing the wine and food to splash everywhere.

The words of the two were heard by the guy next door who was packing up his things, and they were used to hearing the wine of the guests in both ears. However, the name mentioned in it was the grace of the principal, so he listened carefully and reported to the principal.

The store has a strict rule not to listen to or pass on the words of customers, but the owner is not a pedantic person. He rewarded the man with three golds and said, "Forget about it, if someone mentions it again, watch your head." "It wasn't until after the men went out that Lord Huai hurried to the mansion in Montenegro.

Montenegro was looking at the layout of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion with Zhang Cang at home. The scale of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion is huge, covering an area of more than 100 hectares, with nine entrances, which can accommodate 5,000 people. It is the standard of the twenty-rank Lord Cheche. King Qin has made it clear that this mansion is the mansion of the four princesses. Why isn't it called the Horse House? Because the title of Montenegro is not enough to live in a mansion of this size.
