was talking to Jiang Zhen about the palace test, and Li Bai, who looked tired, opened the curtain and came in, sat down and sighed: "Alas, I made the wrong wish." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The two little ones heard it, and after asking the reason, they learned that when Li Ang was born, Li Bai made a wish in his hand, saying that he only hoped that my child would study hard when he grew up, and that he would be named on the gold list in the future, and the courtship would be lined up from Xiaoxi Village to Dongchan Temple......

"Uncle, isn't this a fulfillment of a long-cherished wish? Why are you still sad? Don't hide it from my uncle, my maternal uncle has a cousin, twenty-six years old, beautiful and virtuous, and she is still unmarried. My father asked me to ask ......."

Li Bai's head grew when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again: "Oh, don't follow the coaxing." Everyone else said that I was proud, and you should know what my uncle was embarrassed about. ”

"Hehe, this nephew really doesn't know. Anyway, my father and mother are very useful, and they are carefully selecting them for me at home. said that he would go to the temple to try again after becoming a parent, and then he would invite his uncle and aunt to have a cup of wine. Jiang Jin's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, and the joy of the big Dengke and then the little Dengke was overflowing.

Li Ang still felt a little unbelievable at this point, he had long known that the Song Dynasty had the custom of "catching sons-in-law under the list", but he didn't expect it to be so crazy! Yes, that's right, those who eat imperial grain are in demand in any dynasty and generation, but even if there are more redundant officials and redundant personnel in the Great Song Dynasty, there are still a few, is it possible that if you don't choose a son-in-law of a jinshi, your daughter won't marry?

When he said this question, Jiang Zhen smiled: "The world admires literature, but who doesn't want to choose a good man to marry a woman who has a little pursuit?" Don't believe it, I won't talk about others, Mr. Yichuan, you should know? ”

"What's wrong with him?" Leon asked. Mr. Yi Chuan is Cheng Yi, one of the founders of "Cheng Zhu Lixue".

"He has a daughter, who is both literary and moral, and naturally has a high vision. From the right age, you are choosing a good son-in-law. It's a pity that after seven or eight years of visiting, there is no one who can be seen, and he is alone until he dies. Jiang Zhen said.

Li Angyi frowned: "You are not representative. Moreover, it is not surprising that she was influenced by her father's teachings and did such a paranoid thing. ”

"Good! And said that my cousin ......"

"Let's go! I believe it! Don't talk about it! ”

"Really beautiful and virtuous ......"

"If you say it again, I'll just wander under the garden tree......"

Li Bai watched him laugh at the two of them beside him, and the depression in his heart also dispersed a little, and after thinking for a while, he said a thought in his heart in the past two days: "Xunchen, otherwise, let's move back to our ancestral hometown." ”

As soon as these words came out, before Li Ang could respond, Jiang Zhen jumped up first: "What? Do you want to move in order to avoid courting? Uncle, isn't that enough? No matter how tight he is, there is no bound marriage in this world! If my uncle doesn't agree, who can force it? ”

Li Bai shook his head: "It's not because of this, but ......"

Seeing this, Li Ang took over the conversation: "Brother Zifeng, I actually wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I haven't had a suitable opportunity. ”

Jiang Zhen faintly felt that nothing good would happen, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you think the Golden Man will come again?"

"This ...... I'm afraid that there is a chance that it will go south. ”

"The Xing Dynasty is now in Yangzhou, if the Jin people come, where do you think the official family will 'patrol'?"

"Then you can only cross the river."

Li Ang nodded, and asked again: "If the Jurchens want to chase, do they also have to cross the river?" Coming down from Henan, which place is the most suitable place to cross the river? ”

Jiang Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm so big, it's the first time I've gone out to Luzhou to take the exam, how can I know geography?" ”

Li Ang sighed, and said helplessly: "If the Jin army comes down from Henan and wants to cross the Yangtze River, the most suitable place is Hezhou, there is Baidu on the west bank, there is quarry rocks on the opposite bank, and the river is narrow, so it is suitable for landing." ”

Although Jiang Zhen did not understand geography, he still knew the administrative divisions of Huaixi. If you want to go to Hezhou, you must first pass through Shouchun and Luzhou, which means ...... In an instant, a heart almost sank into the stomach. Swallowing his saliva unconsciously, he asked tentatively, "Then, when is it estimated?" ”

"Next fall at the latest." Li Ang said. He's not alarmist, and he's not just talking. Historically, the Jin Army's Wushu Department carried out the so-called military operation of "searching mountains and inspecting seas" in the third year of Jianyan.

After listening to this, Jiang Zhen believed most of it. Since Li Ang entered the school, whenever he talked about the current situation with him, the other party always got to the point, and he never missed the predictions.

"How's that for good? Why don't we go to the book...... If it doesn't work out, the official family itself is difficult to protect, how can they take care of Shouchun? However, it can't be said that accommodation is accommodating, right? ”

Li Ang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, how come I don't know how big this is?" So all this time, I never mentioned it to outsiders. Now I advise my brother that if you can move, you can move, if you can't move, you have to leave Xia Cai, Fucheng is really not staying. ”

Jiang Zhen stared at him directly, as if he wanted to wait for him to laugh and say that I was just joking. But after a long while, Leon still looked serious. He couldn't help but sigh, and all the joy of the big and small Denghu came to naught. I didn't want to stay any longer, so I said goodbye to the Li family and went home.

After he left, Li Ang turned to Li Bai: "Dad, really think about it?" ”

"Well, our family's farm and house have also been sold, and this house is also rented. Moreover, our family's ancestral home is in Wucheng, which is also closer to Hangzhou, so we simply moved back while there was still time before your palace exam. There's just one thing I have to ask. ”

"What's the matter?"

"About the relationship with the Kang family, have you thought about it?"

"Why did Dad suddenly ask about this? Isn't it all decided? ”

There is such a sentence, but you have also seen that your future father-in-law does not mention marriage in a letter, only asks whether he passed the exam or not. I always felt ......"

Li Ang smiled when he heard this: "Dad, isn't this human nature? As a parent, who doesn't want their daughter to marry well? Besides, the Kang Zhifu has a favor for me, which has nothing to do with snobbery, right? ”

Li Bai was speechless, and after a while, he patted his thigh and stood up: "Okay, then I'll discuss with your mother and get this done as soon as possible, so as not to delay your trip to the palace test." ”

After sending him out of the house, Leon let out a long sigh. In fact, when he first crossed over, he knew that Shouchun was not a place to stay for a long time. Historically, after more than ten years of war, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom signed a peace treaty in the Shaoxing period, and the two countries agreed to start from the Huai River in the east and reach the Dasanguan in the west.

The county seat of Xiacai County, where Shouchun Mansion is located, is just on the north bank of the Huai River, so it was assigned to the Jin State. As a result, the government of Shouchun Prefecture was moved to Shouchun County, and the capital of Huaixi was changed to Luzhou.

His original plan was to let his parents leave Fucheng and take refuge in the south. Unexpectedly, Li Bai directly went to the ancestral home of Wucheng in Huzhou.
