Chapter 43: Door-to-door Marriage (Part II)
When Zhong Yu and Yang Fan came to the living room in the front yard of Gaofu with the servants of Gaofu to welcome guests, Gao Qi, the commander of Qingzhou Wei, and his son Gao Yu were talking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhong Yu saw that the furnishings in the living room were simple, but the furniture was simple and elegant, revealing the family heritage. The only thing that was a little abrupt was a long sword with a gorgeous scabbard hanging on the east wall, as if the owner was specially trying to show off his status as a military general.
There were two people sitting on a small chair of yellow sandalwood, the older one was about forty years old, with a Chinese face, quite majestic, wearing a light purple brocade robe with a placket, and the younger one was about his early twenties, and he was wearing a azure scholar's shirt.
Zhong Yu estimated that these two people were Gao Wan's father and eldest brother, and hurriedly saluted the two, with a very respectful attitude, and Yang Fan also followed suit.
Gao Qi only nodded slightly. Zhong Yu doesn't have any opinion on Gao Qi's attitude, after all, he is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is his future father-in-law, so he doesn't dare to have an opinion! People just nodded, and it was okay to see a courtesy with themselves.
However, Gao Yu saw that Zhong Yu and Yang Fan were both dressed as personable literati, and they were very enthusiastic. After seeing each other, they hurriedly motioned for the two to sit down.
Gao Yu said with a smile: "I have heard Zhong Gongzi's poetry for a long time, and his literary brilliance is unparalleled, and I have not been able to meet, but it is a blessing to see him today!" β
"Gao Gongzi has won the award, and they all say that Gao Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the poems and articles are good. Gao Yu spoke politely, and Zhong Yu had to bite the bullet and learn to say some literary scenes.
Of course, after admiring each other for a long time, it's time to talk about business.
Zhong Yu nodded at Yang Fan, signaling that it was time for him, the matchmaker, to speak, and it was always inconvenient to speak by himself about this marriage.
Yang Fan smiled and said to Gao Qi: "I have heard for a long time that the Gao family has a daughter, gentle and virtuous, and has a valuable character. β
Gao Qi snorted coldly and said, "If you know that you are presumptuous, don't mention this matter again." You two little talents, you dare to come to my house to propose, what kind of family do you think of my Gao family? How can anyone marry the eldest lady of my Gao family! β
Yang Fan was snorted coldly by Gao Qi, and his heart trembled, but in front of him was a court member of the third grade, and it was false to say that he was not afraid. However, under Zhong Yu's expectant gaze, Yang Fan still boasted to Zhong Yu: "Although Zhong Gongzi is just a talent now, he is full of talent, and it is inevitable that he will boast about the official in the future of Jinbang High School." As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth, Zhong Gongzi will soar sooner or later. Mr. Gao is confined to his family to investigate Miss Gao's marriage, which seems to be a little biased! β
Gao Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard that a little Xiucai dared to accuse himself of being biased in determining the marriage with the family, these two little Xiucai were interesting, and they were both bold people.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been about the right family, according to what you said the ancestors are wrong? Since you said that this Zhong Gongzi will win the gold list sooner or later, then wait for him to become an official and then come to ask for marriage, the old man is old and stubborn, and he pays attention to the right person! β
Yang Fan said stubbornly: "Master Gao doesn't know, although Zhong Gongzi is only a talent and fame, but now he is a companion of the palace, such as a fake official from the Jiupin Imperial Court!" β
Gao Qi heard Yang Fan say that Zhong Yu was already a companion of the palace at a young age, and from the court official of Jiupin, he couldn't help but move slightly, but then vetoed his own idea, he is a small talent, without roots and feet, even if King Heng can recommend him to the court, what can he do, it may not be able to become any climate! Gao Qi still thinks that it is appropriate for his daughter to marry those big families, and the ready-made wealth is always more stable than the uncertain future in the future.
Gao Qi said in a deep voice: "It's just a little royal mansion companion, and the old man still can't agree!" β
Seeing that his future father-in-law would not let go, Zhong Yu finally couldn't help it, got up and said: "The high commander is really not hiding from Ling Ai and Ling Ai, and he has made a private decision for life, and I hope that the high commander will make it perfect." β
Gao Qi heard what Zhong Yu said that he and Gao Wan were in love, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "Shaft, you are still a scholar, marriage has its own parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words, how can you have a private life if you have two loves." Before the old man gets angry, hurry up and get out of me, my Gao family is not a place to allow you to be presumptuous! β
Zhong Yu said that he made a private agreement with Gao Wan for life, originally to persuade Gao Qi to agree, but he didn't expect to provoke him to be furious, Rao is his courage and wit, and in the face of the angry Gao Qi, he couldn't help but be a little at a loss for a while.
"Daddy, Zhong Lang and I are indeed in love, and we have already made a private decision for life, begging Daddy to fulfill it!" Gao Wan rushed out of the living room and cried.
It turned out that Gao Wan and her mother had been listening to the movement in the living room inside, and at this time, Gao Wan heard her father's voice about to drive Zhong Yu away, and she couldn't help but rush out anymore. Chen didn't hold Gao Wan, and couldn't help but follow Gao Wan out.
When Gao Qi heard Gao Wan say this, he couldn't help but blow his beard and glare: "Nonsense, how can marriage be a child's play, how can you make a private decision for life!" β
Gao Wan couldn't help but turn her head to her mother and said, "Mother, please persuade your father, anyway, if your father doesn't let her daughter marry Zhong Lang, I will never marry for the rest of my life!" β
As soon as Zhong Yu heard Gao Wan begging for help from his mother, his mind moved, and he hurriedly took out the glass mirror he had carefully made, this mirror was more delicate than the previous ones, not only the edge of the glass was inlaid with gold by Zhong Yu to find a goldsmith, but also on the back of the mirror, Zhong Yu also specially found someone to draw a few vivid lotus flowers, which was very delicate and elegant.
Zhong Yu held the glass mirror in both hands, and said to Chen with a smile on his face: "Little nephew Zhong Yu, meet your aunt, aunt Wan'an, I have heard that my aunt is virtuous and knowledgeable, the first time we met, there is no meeting gift, this is a glass mirror, although it is not valuable, but it is a thing made by the little nephew himself, talk about the reverence of the little nephew, the little nephew's heart, and hope that the aunt will accept it!" β
Seeing that Zhong Yu said sincerely, but disrespectfully, Chen took it, took a look, and felt that it was exquisite, and liked it very much, and couldn't help laughing: "You child, my aunt hasn't given you a meeting gift yet, but I will accept you a valuable gift first, but my aunt can't help it!" β
Zhong Yu climbed up the pole and said, "Please also ask my aunt to give me a few kind words!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Wan's father, Gao Qi.
Chen looked at Gao Qi and said with a smile: "Master, you see that I have also accepted this gift as an aunt, and it seems that I don't want to say anything to others, and I don't want to go." I also heard Wan'er say in the middle just now, the matter between him and Wen Hao, I think the two of them are quite suitable, it's better to ......"
"Hmph, how can it be so easy to be the son-in-law of my Gao family!"
Zhong Yu heard Gao Qi's tone a little loose, as if there was a door, he hurriedly took out the short sword, raised it with both hands and said to Gao Qi: "The little nephew occasionally has a sword that sharpens iron like clay, and it is said that the sword is worthy of a hero, and it is just for heroes like my uncle to use it, so as not to let such treasures be buried!" Zhong Yu saw that Gao Qi's tone was loose, and honestly and unceremoniously changed his name to Uncle Gao Qi, originally Zhong Yu wanted to change his name to his father-in-law, but he felt that things should come step by step.
Gao Qi is a military general, and Zhong Yu gave him such a divine blade, but he has a very good appetite for him. Gao Qi took it and picked it up, and immediately saw the cold light appear, and couldn't help but shout "good"!
Gao Qi accepted the gift, but his attitude towards Zhong Yu was much better, and he said to Zhong Yu slowly: "It's not easy to be my son-in-law, my son-in-law must be a talented person!" β
"Then what does it mean to be productive?"
Gao Qi pondered for a moment and said, "At least it has to be a county seal of the seventh grade!" β
Gao Qi saw Zhong Yu and Gao Wan's affectionate appearance at this time, and knew that this matter could not be blocked, so he immediately put forward conditions to delay the army. Of course, these seven products are not so easy to do. But if Zhong Yu can really win the gold list, it is possible. Gao Qi's meaning is obvious, if he can't do this high school, he will have to retreat! Of course, if Zhong Yu can really be nominated for the gold list and achieve seven positive prints within three years, Gao Qi feels that marrying his daughter to Zhong Yu can also be considered.
Zhong Yu secretly thought to himself: Seven Pins Zhengyin? This difficulty seems to be a bit big, although Yang Fan boasted to himself that he was talented and would definitely be able to win the gold list! But I know my own business, my eight-strand literary level, even if I let myself take the children's exam, I may not be able to pass it! If you are a military attache of the seventh grade, there is still hope, and now you are from the small banner of the seventh grade of Jinyi Wei, think of a way, promote the official to one level, and be a general flag of the seventh grade, Zhong Yu can still do it.
Zhong Yu thought of this in his heart, so he asked, "Is it okay to be a seven-grade military attachΓ©?" β
"Phew, any cat or dog in my family is the general flag of the seventh grade, and you want my daughter as a military attache of the seventh grade?!"
Zhong Yu couldn't help but be speechless, it turned out that this seven-grade military attache was nothing in the eyes of others!
The old man put forward the conditions, although he didn't want a house or a car, but he proposed a more difficult task to be an official, which seemed to be even more difficult to do!
However, although it was difficult to do, it aroused Zhong Yu's competitiveness, and he was naturally reluctant to admit it at this time, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to my uncle's words, give me three years, and when I achieve the seventh grade of Zhengyin, I will come to marry Ling Ai!" β
"Okay, ambitious!" Gao Qi admired Zhong Yu's unyielding strength at this time, quite like when he was young, if Zhong Yu made a county seal within three years, he would be happy to marry his daughter to Zhong Yu.
"Shouldn't that be a pre-determined parent?"
Gao Qi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this kid is very good at climbing the pole! Gao Qi was originally Shi's plan to delay the army, how could he make any family affairs with him, and said at the moment: "You are acute, do you think that you can be successful in this Keqiu and next year?" If you can't win, how easy it is for you to do it in three years! If you set up a family affair, if you don't get it now, wouldn't it be in vain to delay my daughter for three years! β
Zhong Yu said confidently: "It's not too difficult for the little nephew to get the autumn and spring of the current branch in the middle of the year!" "Anyway, let's fool this down first, don't settle the family affairs, who knows if the three-year covenant you said is fooling my son?
Hearing that Zhong Yu was so confident, Gao Qi couldn't refuse him directly. If he wants to reject him directly, I am afraid that Gao Wan will make trouble again, and at that moment, Gao Qi's eyes rolled, and he said: "Okay, I like your self-confidence, hehe, if you want to settle a family affair, the old man will give you a chance, but you also have to see if your ability is enough!" β
