Chapter 207

Wei Guogong asked you to bring me a message, as long as I take refuge in Nanjing, there will be a lot of gold?

Yang Shangjing looked at Xu Shangyong with a black line, not to mention a Duke of Wei, even if the two old Xu families of Duke Wei and Duke Dingguo are added up, the family background may not be able to catch up with the several older branches of the Yang family in Jian'an, after all, property at this stage depends on accumulation, so how long has the Ming Dynasty been founded? The wealth of agricultural civilization depends on the accumulation of time, of course, it can also be robbed, but the appearance of the nobles does not dare to be too ugly, and cannibalistic things such as land annexation cannot be too obvious, as for the emperor's reward...... Well, if you look at the emperor's sake, he has to pretend to be ugly for the sake of the Fujian silver mine, and you will know what it means that the landlord's family has no surplus grain.

However, complaining and complaining, Yang Shangjing still calmed down and listened to Xu Shangyong continue: "...... The lord said, if Ling Zun has no objections, he can ask the matchmaker to go to my house to propose. ”

Buddhist nun...... Nima, is this really going to tie Lao Tzu to this chariot of Nanjing Xungui?

Originally, he stood well, Yang Shangjing almost stumbled when he heard this, purely frightened, well, love came too fast, like a tornado, this is the norm of talking about marriage in the feudal era, basically the words of the matchmaker of the parents, or relying on the marriage contract of the right person to engage in political marriage, and wanting to see his fiancée or fiancé in advance is a fool's dream, but what Yang Shangjing didn't expect was that Wei Guogong would actually let Xu Shangyong, the son-in-law, tell him the news.

Yang Shangjing barely stabilized his mind, and then said in a deep voice: "Thank you Wei Guogong for your attention, the day before yesterday, Li Jian had repaired the book and sent it home to inquire about the marriage, and I expected that there would be a result in the next few days, if my father agreed, I would definitely find someone who had enough weight to go to the Guogong Mansion to say something." ”

The old family wants to gain the right to speak in the court, one is to send a large number of clansmen to be officials, and the other is to engage in marriage with the big people in the court, both of which are called door valves, the top family, but as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the promotion of the imperial examination system and the acquisition of the official right to interpret the scriptures and meanings of the imperial court, let a large number of clansmen be officials, or let the protégés of the old way to be officials, is already impassable, the prosperity of the small landlord class is destined to the diversification of the source of the imperial court officials, such as Jian'an Yang's, It was only Yang Rong who bumped into the great luck and won the saint's favor that made the family more prestigious.

As for the marriage, there are too many things, a typical example, in fact, you can cite the old things in the Sui and Tang dynasties, among the several big lackeys under His Majesty Li Er, the Heavenly Khan Li Er, Fang Xuanling's wife's surname is Lu, Cheng Yanjin's wife's surname is Cui, and Zhang Liang's wife's surname is Li...... This is a kind of betting, Wei Guogong, the noble head of Nanjing, the top imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty want to marry the Yang family of Jian'an, so as long as the marriage of Yang Shangjing and Jian'an Yuan is not decided, the Yang family will definitely not refuse this temptation.

At that time, the Yang family of Jian'an is famous and rich, and the Xu family of the Duke of Wei has people and rights, and it is not a good story of civil and military harmony in the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention that Yang Shangjing's career will be much better in the future, that is, the prestige of the Yang family in the southeast side of the guard, can brush from "respect" to "worship", when the time comes, what will happen, who will dare to stop one or two?

Xu Shangyong was obviously very satisfied with Yang Shangjing's performance, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "If Ling Zun is satisfied, in the future, Brother Shangjing and our Xu family will be like one." ”

Regarding Xu Shangyong's statement, Yang Shangjing was noncommittal, just nodded in agreement, what a special water spilled by the daughter who got married, that is, when I was killed by the big man in the inner court, Wei Guogong can also find countless kinds of excuses, the big deal is to let his daughter hang himself, and he will really pick himself out, look at the time when he destroyed the Huang family, the Zhang family directly killed a daughter of the Huang family, how simply you know, in front of the continuation of the family, under the constraints of feudal etiquette, Any benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit.

Taking a deep breath and temporarily blocking this information, Yang Shangjing slowed down his tone and said slowly: "Xu Zongqi can go to the Yamen of the Preparation Department to get the documents, go out of the city to inspect the small school field of the Inspection Division, and meet with his subordinates. ”

Xu Shangyong smiled and took half a step back and saluted: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Listening to Xu Shangyong's footsteps away, Yang Shangjing slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already full of perseverance, as the saying goes, life is like a strong ×, if you are powerless to resist, then you have to endure it, he Yang Shangjing is now a five-grade petty official, in this feudal era, there is no ability to challenge the feudal etiquette system and seek his own love, then go to his mother's love, choose to maximize benefits, at least after marrying the Duke of Wei, not to mention the possibility of reversing, At the very least, you have a lot more confidence to do things.

Uncle Zhong stood aside and looked at Yang Shangjing, and when he saw Yang Shangjing turn around, Yang Shangjing's face had a bright smile, just like the weather in Zhejiang: "Uncle Zhong, about Jian's marriage, has there been a reply from the family now?" ”

Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "This is not true, but it is estimated that it is also soon, the old servant just sent a letter to the family the day before yesterday to urge him." ”

After a pause, Uncle Zhong squinted his eyes and asked with a little hesitation, "But I don't know why the young master suddenly asked this?" Could it be that Xu Shangyong and the young master said something just now? ”

Yang Shangjing nodded: "Wei Guogong plans to marry his daughter-in-law, if the adult nods, he can find someone to come to the door to propose." ”

Uncle Zhong gasped and nodded heavily: "The old servant will repair another book and send it home in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles, and ask the patriarch to decide." ”

When Yang Rong was there, what was the matter of the prince and the marquis, but now that Yang Rong is gone, the importance of the grandfather and the marquis to the Yang family is reflected, and Uncle Zhong naturally knows, not to mention that the previous marriage with the Yuan family was an intention, and he didn't even have a single word, so he exchanged the eight words, so he had to find a veteran with enough weight to make a move, carefully calculate it, and then come to a conclusion that "husband and wife restrain each other".

After all, feudal etiquette is a dead thing, and there are too many ways to get around.

Yang Shangjing nodded, and said with a smile: "Then it's a lot of trouble Uncle Zhong, and later Jian will go to the Yamen to prepare for the Japanese and talk to that Liu Qidao, the descendants of this sincere uncle, but they also have to advise, so as not to make a mistake." ”
