Chapter 42 Catching a son-in-law under the list
On the morning of the release of the results, all the lifters went to the Gongyuan early to check the results, but Ling Kun did not go.
Because Zhao Mingyue didn't come, he was happy to sleep at home. And Xiao Ran didn't care about this matter.
After the release of the list, the military department sent a special person to the home of the high school to report the good news. Ling Kun was woken up by the gong and drum of the annunciator, and then he was put on a big red flower in a daze, and the bronzing good news was delivered to him.
Ling Kun thanked them again and again, and took out some scattered silver from it to reward the officials who gave the good news, and sent them out the door.
However, there is no going back after this trip.
Outside the gate, a large number of people gathered densely, surrounding his courtyard gate. Some richly dressed old men stared at Ling Kun with red eyes, their throats rolling, and their expressions were nervous, like hungry wolves seeing their prey.
Catch a son-in-law under the list.
Anyone who knows the history of the Song Dynasty knows that the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Song Dynasty and the wealthy families are all popular to catch sons-in-law. Every time the imperial examination is released, those dead old men who have daughters to be married in their families will take their families to stay under the list, and when they see a son on the list, they will rush back to be sons-in-law. No matter how ugly or handsome, no matter how old or young, as long as it is a jinshi. Of course, if you can grab a champion and go back, it will be a great thing for the ancestral tomb to burst into flames.
Ling Kun didn't go to see the list, so he wasn't caught alive on the spot. But as the champion, the old men will never forget him. So he followed the official who reported the good news all the way to Ling Kun's house.
I don't know who made the first move, the old man and his family hugged Ling Kun, as long as they could grab a corner of his clothes, they would no longer relax.
At this time, the scene is too chaotic, whether you are an official residence or a rich country, you can't introduce yourself, everyone's only idea is to snatch the champion back first.
Ling Kun looked dazed, surrounded by the crowd and didn't know what to do.
He didn't know what these people were going to do, but it was clear that none of them had malicious intent, so he couldn't use the seventh-level Ziling Divine Skill to push them away.
What if you meet an ancestor who touches porcelain?
Xiao Ran was also stunned by this scene, and rushed into the crowd to grab Ling Kun.
As a result, there was a commotion at the gate of the Zhuangyuan Mansion and a stalemate.
At this moment, I heard a loud shout, like a bell, straight into the heart and lungs
"Stop it."
Everyone was stunned at the same time, and when they looked back, they saw a team of brightly armored and murderous forbidden troops standing in front. The first general, in his 50s, has eyes like a torch and is majestic.
"Those Wen Zhuangyuan and Wen Jinshi have asked you to rob it, and it should be my turn to be a martial champion." After the general finished speaking, the sergeants hurriedly drew their waist knives at the same time, emitting a dazzling light in the sun.
The old men who were holding Ling Kun all blushed, but no one dared to squeak, and they all let go silently.
The old general laughed and said, "Take my uncle back to Lao Tzu." β
The sergeant put away his waist knife, hula came up, pushed it, pulled it, and took Ling Kun to the carriage.
Ling Kun was stunned throughout the whole process, with his martial arts, he could still escape at this time. However, he is from the 21st century, has a strong sense of the legal system, and has no sense of resistance in front of the regular military and police.
Besides, there seems to be no malice on the part of the people.
The old men at the gate of the Zhuangyuan Mansion looked at each other and were relatively speechless.
After a while, one of them said: "Lord Li, you are an official residence, and you let him be bullied like this by a military attachΓ©?" β
The Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, and military generals generally dare not raise their heads in front of civil officials, and it is really rare to see such a strong person as today.
Master Li sighed and said, "That's not an ordinary general, that's the palace marshal Li Jilong." β
Xiao Ran was also in the crowd, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Li Jilong, and why are you robbing people?" β
"Hey." The old men all shook their heads and sighed, most of them shook their hands and left, and some of them who liked to talk left for Xiao Ran to explain.
"Don't you know? Let's catch a son-in-law under the Song Dynasty, we people, we all have daughters in the boudoir at home, if we grab a champion or go back to be a son-in-law, it will be a great thing to honor our ancestors. β
"Is that okay? Then why don't I do it sooner. Xiao Ran blurted out a sigh.
"It's useless, since it's Li Jilong's favorite, it's useless for others to rob it." The old man sighed.
"Is Li Jilong very good?"
"Li Jilong is the first military general of my Great Song Dynasty, the commander of the front division of the palace, known as the palace marshal, in charge of the 800,000 forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also the uncle of the dynasty and the brother of the queen's mother. In this Great Song Dynasty, the Zhao family is the first surname, and the Li family is the well-deserved second surname. β
"What then? Can Ling Kun refuse him? Xiao Ran asked.
"Silly girl, if Li Jilong takes a fancy to him, a fool will refuse, unless the princess of the Zhao official family takes a fancy to him."
"The princess doesn't necessarily work." Xiao Ran sighed and said, "Sister Mingyue doesn't know where to go, if you don't come to Ling Kun again, she will become someone else's." β
At this moment, Zhao Mingyue hurried over, and when she heard that she had been snatched away, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it a son-in-law under the list?" Wu Zhuangyuan is also robbed? β
"Sister, you can still laugh at this time, if you don't want to find a way, Ling Kun has nothing to do with you, if you don't care about him so much, why don't you give it to me earlier?" Xiao Ran pouted and complained.
"What's the hurry? It's not that it's eaten by a monster, whoever snatches it will let whoever spit it out. By the way, do you know who robbed it? β
"It was your former commander of the Great Song Palace, Li Jilong, who personally led people to rob it."
"What? Uncle? Zhao Mingyue was so shocked that she almost sat on the steps.
"Li Jilong is your uncle?" Xiao Ran asked.
Zhao Mingyue nodded.
"Your surname is Zhao, so you are the princess of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "What, you can be a princess?" β
"You're a princess too?" Xiao Ran couldn't digest it for a while, and muttered to himself. After a while, he said: "Since you are a princess, then let Li Jilong let people go, I don't believe that he dares to resist?" β
"Oh, my princess, go and rob the man who was captured, what do people think of me? Besides, it's my uncle's son-in-law who robbed my cousin. Zhao Mingyue smiled bitterly.
"Hey, Ling Kun's martial arts are strong, maybe he will run back by himself." Xiao Ran comforted.
"Don't be stupid, the palace marshal's mansion gathers the most powerful armed forces of the Great Song Dynasty, do you think you can't even look down on a person? Besides, my cousin is very beautiful, Ling Kun is a hooligan, maybe he will refuse? β
"Otherwise, let him marry your cousin, it's nothing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, it's a big deal to let you be the boss?"
"What do you say? Who said I was going to marry him? Zhao Mingyue was anxious, and asked Xiao Ran with a red face.
"You don't want to marry him? So why are you in a hurry? Xiao Ran said in surprise.
"I, I, I have a lot of things for him to do, if he marries my cousin, then what is the matter with me taking a brother-in-law with me all the time, yes, that's it, we must not let them succeed."
"Then what do you say, either the two of us masked into the Li Mansion and rescue Ling Kun, by the way, you used to break into the Nanjing Palace alone to poison me, or you also give Li Jilong some medicine?" Xiao Ran said excitedly with a small fist.
Zhao Mingyue leaned on the table with her forehead and sighed: "Don't say it, let me be quiet, okay?" β
