In less than a day, the children of Xungui all knew that the girl of the Yang family was as beautiful as a flower and had an elegant temperament, and everyone envied Zhang Ning. Gu Chun and Xue Han visited the mansion, first using words to protect, and then tactfully explaining their intentions: "Can you help them ask for a scholarly wife?" ”

Zhang Ning said strangely: "Where does this start?" "This is treating him as a matchmaker, right? Does he want to turn his face immediately?

Gu Chun didn't dare to speak, Xue Han said quickly: "A Ning, you also know that there are so many sons and daughters of the nobles, and only the eldest brother can attack the lord." Although we are not short of food and clothing, don't we still have to read the scriptures and history, ride and shoot, and seek a future? We don't have the talent to read, and we are not as diligent as the children of the poor family, so the road to the imperial examination is very difficult. If there is a wife from a scholarly family, the road to the imperial examination will be much easier. ”

"You want to go through the imperial examination?" Zhang Ning couldn't help but be surprised, it was not that there were no noble children to participate in the imperial examination, but that there were few who won the imperial examination. The nobles were knighted for their merits, which were earned from the battlefield, not by reading exams.

Xungui is a nobleman and a military general.

"Even if you don't take this road, if you have a father-in-law in the officialdom, your father will look up twice."

At the end of the day, I'm just looking for a backer.

Zhang Ning wanted to say that only by working his own can a man become famous one day, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. As Xue Han said, there are so many noble children, it is not easy to come out.

"Which girl do you fancie, you should let Ling Zun ask for a marriage in the house." Zhang Ning just said this in the end.

Gu Chun and Xue Han left extremely disappointed.

…………

Zhang Ning entered the palace on duty, came over as usual, looked at him for a while with very bright eyes, and said, "I heard that you are going to marry Yang Ge Lao's granddaughter?" ”

"Nothing." Zhang Ning categorically denied: "I will never forget the three-year appointment with the Empress Dowager." ”

Youyou looked at him fixedly, and after confirming that he was not lying, he said: "My father has been ordered to leave the fiefdom and come to Beijing in the near future." ”

"Prince Zheng has come to Beijing?" Zhang Ning did not forget what his father said in his letter that King Zheng refused to marry. He asked rhetorically, "Will he agree to this family business?" ”

"Not before, but now. You can rest assured. ”

"What about you? Will you marry me? Zhang Ning asked this sentence again, very apprehensive. In his heart, Yoyo at this time is the same person as his girlfriend in his previous life, and she refuses to marry, which means that his girlfriend rejects his marriage proposal.

He believed that his girlfriend would not refuse, but he did not hear her say, "I do." I was still very nervous.

Youyou lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "You don't have to worry. ”

Zhang Ning's heart suddenly bloomed, this is a promise. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see the seams and said, "I'm relieved, of course I'm relieved." ”

You raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Then the girl of the Yang family is a talented girl in the capital, are you willing to give up?" ”

"Huh? She is a talented woman in the capital? "It's the first time Zhang Ning has heard of it, and he can't help but be surprised, and he can't see the talented girl at all. Shouldn't a talented woman behave gracefully? She's too bold, isn't she?

Youyou said seriously: "What a talented girl in the capital." The words she wrote, the poems she wrote, and the piano she played were for the three uniques of the capital, and she only asked for the same, which can be said to be worthwhile in this life. In the past two years, Yang Ge has been selected by thousands of people, and even Peng Shi, the new champion, doesn't like it, and I don't know how I fell in love with you. ”

"Words, poems, and pianos?" Zhang Ning was dumbfounded and said, "Is there no one in the boudoir in the capital who has better words than her?" "In this era, there are few readers, and there are even fewer women who read, so you can be called a talented woman if you know a few words, right?

Yoyo shook his head: "No." Many men's words are not as good as hers, I have never seen poetry, but everyone says so, it must be no worse. Qin, but I heard it once, the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, she once entered the palace to celebrate her birthday, and played two tunes in Cishou Palace, saying that it is not an exaggeration to go around the beam for three days. ”

Zhang Ning was stunned and muttered, "Won't it?" ”

Thinking of the chance encounter on the street that day, she took the little girl to Zhetan Temple for incense, not like a talented girl at all, but she had a good figure and a good temperament.

"Do you regret it?" Leisurely and step-by-step.

If that's the case, it seems like a little regretful. No, no, no, you can't say that. Zhang Ning decisively denied: "I only love you alone, and other women are like ...... to me It's like ......"

Yoyo smiled slightly and said, "What is it?" ”

"There's no difference, it's all the same." Zhang Ning said.

"Hahaha." Yoyo chuckled lightly and said, "Look at you, it's like I'm a jealous woman." ”

You are. Zhang Ning scolded and said, "Are you in a hurry, so that the prince hurried into Beijing to negotiate family affairs?" It's a pity that my father is still in Datong and can't return to Beijing, so I can only write letters. ”

King Zheng has already refused to do the matter, Zhang Ning estimates that his father will not ask the media to ask for marriage again, and it is even more difficult for King Zheng to take the initiative to ask the matchmaker. If you think about it this way, the chances of success in this family business are not high. What can I do? He frowned, and then thought, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, what are you afraid of? What's more, he has a jade pendant.

Youyou said: "My father was edicted to enter Beijing, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm just reminding you that you can take this opportunity to plot something. ”

As if it really has nothing to do with you. Women, it's duplicity.

Zhang Ning deliberately spread his hands and said, "I can't think about it." ”

Yoyo was not happy, and said with a pretty face: "You have to think." After saying that, he turned around and left.

It's different to have a rival. Zhang Ning was so happy that she laughed out loud, watching her graceful back go farther and farther, not to Zhaoren Palace, but to Cishou Palace.

The Empress Dowager's condition gradually improved, her fingers could move, but she was still in bed, and the Empress Dowager Sun couldn't hold it anymore and had returned to the palace, only Youyou was still serving the decoction in front of the bed.

Did she hear the wind and come to test me? But thinking of the tall and beautiful Yang Rong'er, Zhang Ning's smile became even brighter, and this girl seemed to like him a lot.

A few days later, Zhang Ning returned to the house and received a letter from the old servant sent by Yang Shiqi, asking him to come over the house. Zhang Ning thought to himself, this was to urge him.

Sure enough, as soon as the guest and host sat down in the study, Yang Shiqi said: "I don't know if Uncle An replied?" ”

Zhang Ning said vaguely: "Not yet." ”

"Is he not satisfied with the old man's granddaughter?" Yang Shiqi's sharp eyes seemed to be about to see through Zhang Ning's internal organs. Zhang Ning stubbornly said: "Warat often attacks the city, presumably the war is tight, and he can't be busy." ”

"Nonsense, the old man has only seen a letter from Datong these days, stating that there are more than 2,500 people in tribute to the envoys of Wara, where did the war come from? Why the problem? Yang Shiqi was furious. Are you fooled when you are an old man?

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, the kid was on duty in the palace for five days, and he had a day off, he really had no time to take care of him, and the day before yesterday, Xiu Mu took the time to write a letter to his father." ”

Yang Shiqi's face turned slightly pale: "I see." After a pause, he said: "The old man will repair a book and catch up with Uncle Anxiang." ”
