Jiajing's congratulatory gifts have been given, should Yang Cong and Yu Dayou choose an auspicious day to get married?

Yu Dayou happily ran back to get married, but Yang Cong was not so simple

He also wants to get married as soon as possible, and the problem is that he can't get married for a while, because his parents are not there, whether it is an auspicious day or where to choose to marry, it is not up to him to decide, it must be discussed by his parents with Lu Song and his wife.

Therefore, he must first send someone to find his parents, and then say, selling salt is not so simple these days, he must keep running to the border towns, salt production and salt sales land, and he still doesn't know where his parents are at this time.

This marriage matter has to wait, but he can go to rectify the mansion given to him by the emperor.

This mansion is not far from Lu Mansion, just across the street, and the area is also hundreds of acres, about the same size as Lu Mansion, probably Jiajing wants Lu Ling'er to live as comfortable as home after marrying Yang Cong.

However, the buildings in this mansion are a bit dilapidated, and the flowers and plants are a mess because no one takes care of them, so they have to be repaired.

On this day, Yang Cong was personally directing the craftsmen to repair the main mansion in the mansion, and the guard suddenly ran in with a white-bearded old man and said, "Master, the steward of the Dingguo Mansion asks to see you." ”

Dingguo Gong?

Since he won the champion, there are some people looking for him, but the grandfather of this country is still the first.

He couldn't help but be curious: "I don't know what Grandpa Guo is looking for?" ”

The steward hurriedly took out a post from his arms and handed it to both hands, and then said respectfully: "Champion Gong, our grandfather wants to invite you to a light meal." ”

Yang Cong took the post and saw that it was an invitation, it turned out to be an invitation card, it turned out that Xu Guangqi, the Duke of Dingguo, invited him to the Dingguo Mansion for a banquet tomorrow.

Of course Yang Cong knows, because there are not many Guogong at this time, and this Dingguo Gong has a very close relationship with Wei Guogong, to be precise, Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong are both after Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, had a total of four sons, except for the third son Xu Tianfu, who died early, the other three all experienced the Battle of Jingjing, but their experiences were different.

After the death of Xu Da, his eldest son Xu Huizu inherited the position of Duke of Wei, in the Battle of Jingyan, he was a general under Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di was beaten by this eldest brother, so, after Chengzu succeeded to the throne, he put Xu Huizu under house arrest to death, and let his son Xu Qin inherit the title of Duke of Wei.

And the youngest son Xu Zengshou has a very good relationship with his eldest sister, that is, Queen Xu, in the Battle of Jingjing, he actually started a traitor, and secretly helped his brother-in-law Zhu Di, but was directly killed by Emperor Jianwen.

In other words, this Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong are from the same lineage, and they are close relatives.

Of course, no matter how close they are, it doesn't have much to do with Yang Cong, because Yang Cong has already politely rejected the olive branch extended by Wei Guogong and has not made a marriage with Wei Guogong's daughter, so Yang Cong and Wei Guogong don't have much to do with it, and as for him and Dingguogong, it has nothing to do with it at all.

However, Yang Cong still arrived at the Dingguo Mansion on time the next day, he didn't want to offend these nobles, and this Dingguo Duke was not an ordinary person, he was not only a close relative of Wei Guogong, but also one of the most influential figures in Yongle Xungui, and a good relationship with this big man was only good, not bad.

Unexpectedly, at this banquet, he even met an acquaintance, and Liu Yu, the sincere uncle, sat next to Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, with a smile, and there were two of them sitting at the wine table, and there was no one else.

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this sincere uncle actually chased him to the capital, he wouldn't really want to propose marriage to him or be a matchmaker.

If he wanted to change to Jinling, he wouldn't think so, because at that time he was just a new imperial examiner, and he didn't deserve the attention of these nobles at all.

It's different now, he's a champion now.

In recent years, there is still a popular custom of "catching sons-in-law under the list", which roughly means that as soon as the yellow list is posted, there will be many squires and local tyrants flocking to it, and these people will go to those Jinshi with the title of the gold list after reading the yellow list.

The custom of "catching a son-in-law under the list" was quite popular in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, that guy is really caught, and the squires and local tyrants who look at the list generally bring a group of strong family members, once you find the Jinshi on the list, regardless of the old and young, regardless of appearance, and even whether you are married or not, you will run home if you are caught, as long as the arrested Jinshi does not resist, then the son-in-law should be decided.

This custom seems to be out of tune, but it is quite normal when you think about it carefully, because being admitted to the Jinshi is equivalent to a court official, whether it is a first-class, second-class, or third-class, as long as there is no accident, if you mix in the officialdom for decades, you can at least become a high-ranking official of the sixth grade or even the fifth grade, which is simply a ladder to the sky for those squires and tyrants who are eager to obtain social status.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty was not as crazy as the Song Dynasty, but this new science and technology scholar was also quite popular, basically, as long as they did not get married, there would be squires and local tyrants who took the initiative to come to the door.

At this time, Yang Cong was really a little panicked in his heart, because he was a new science and technology jinshi, and he was still the champion, and he was the fifth diamond king in this year, and it was not surprising that the nobles in the court would take a fancy to him.

If this sincere uncle proposes relatives or matchmaking, what should he do?

He really doesn't want to cause trouble anymore, one Zhang Zhen has already caused him a headache, and another one, he really doesn't know how to explain to the Lu family.

He was nervous, but Liu Yu, the sincere uncle, had already stood up, and said cordially: "Champion Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted back: "Uncle Shi laughed, the little nephew is a junior, and the title of champion can not be deserved." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, stood up again and said: "The champion is here, it's an honor, it's an honor!" ”

Fainted, what does this guy want to do, I'm also a six-grade Hanlin Academy at this time, you don't have to be so polite, right?

Yang Cong hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted back: "Grandpa Guo is polite, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

After the three of them were polite, they took their seats.

Dingguo Gong Xu Yande and Chengyi Bo Liu Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry, they just took turns toasting, laughing with him, and didn't say what they were doing with him.

Yang Cong couldn't withstand the wheel battle between the two, and after a few rounds, he was a little dizzy.

, these two guys don't want to turn themselves upside down, and then let themselves be confused and accept the marriage, while his mind is still clear, he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what happened to Grandpa Guo?" ”

Dingguo Gong Xu Yande couldn't help but look at Liu Yu in embarrassment, in fact, it was not that they didn't want to tell Yang Cong what they were doing with him, they were just a little embarrassed to say it.

At this time, the wine seems to be almost drunk, everyone is a little dizzy, and the embarrassing topic seems to be less embarrassing to say, and Liu Yu, a sincere uncle, finally hardened his head and said: "This, the old man was entrusted by the Duke of Wei Guo, and he came to Lu Song and Lord Lu to talk about family affairs, I wonder if the nephew can help introduce him?" ”

It turned out that they were here to be a matchmaker for Lu Bing, no wonder they were so twisted, this family affair originally seemed to be good for him!

They actually changed their goals at this time, and they were looking for themselves to make peace with them.

It's a whole thing, and he'll be embarrassed to change it.
