After nearly half an hour of roasting in the wing room in the front yard, the butler finally reappeared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The housekeeper asked Wu Shaogang to take a look around the mansion in a respectful tone.

Wu Shaogang blinked, he knew that the lifelong event was determined, as long as there were no major changes in the back, there would not be many problems, of course, the family matter was really decided, and it was necessary to wait until after the levy, and the woman accepted the bride price from the man, then the marriage between the two parties was a sure thing, and no one could regret it, and before that, the woman could still regret it.

Li Tingzhi's mansion is divided into a front yard, a middle courtyard and a back yard, covering an estimated area of about 100 acres.

Wu Shaogang's memory is outstanding, as long as he walks around the mansion, he can remember the structure of the mansion, the number of rooms, including the direction of many houses, and so on, which is the basic quality that special forces must have.

The houses in the front yard are mainly the reception hall, study, wing room and guest room, etc., the middle courtyard is the place where the people in the mansion live, and the backyard is the place where the master's family rests.

In the cold winter season, you can still see green in the mansion, there are trees in the front yard and the middle yard, the front yard is a golden laurel tree, and the middle yard is a red laurel tree, these are evergreen trees in all seasons, but they are also the most common trees in the capital, which shows that Li Tingzhi has nothing special about life.

When entering the backyard, Wu Shaogang saw a wall, which separated the front yard from the middle yard, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the backyard casually.

A round door closed tightly, and the butler stepped forward and knocked softly.

Soon, the door opened, and a maid stood at the door, and the housekeeper whispered a few words to the maid, and the maid looked at Wu Shaogang, who was standing not far behind.

When Wu Shaogang saw this maid, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This face, he will not forget, August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival, when he went to Fengle Building with the fourth master, the maid standing on the bow of the boat, and the maid who hid behind the dock tree after getting off the boat, isn't it the maid who opened the round door.

Wu Shaogang finally understood.

It seems that Li Tingzhi's daughter is not so simple, at that time, Li Tingzhi just talked about marriage and did not make a clear statement, and his daughter actually began to investigate the future Langjun.

This is somewhat beyond Wu Shaogang's expectations, in his opinion, girls in ancient times were bored in the boudoir, and there was almost no contact with the outside world, especially girls from large families.

However, this view is probably going to change a little, the girls of the Great Song Dynasty do not seem to have such strict confinement, and the overall atmosphere is still relatively open, after all, at this time, Zhu Xi's science has not completely controlled the minds of scholars, and the dispute between the DPRK and China over science also exists.

It's just that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi's science had gradually played a role in the court, and the restrictions on women in society were much stricter than those in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The structure of the houses in the backyard is different from that in the front yard and the middle yard, with many corridors connecting many houses, so that even if it rains, the clothes will not get wet.

When walking in the middle of the corridor, Wu Shaogang's expression was relaxed, but his spirit was highly concentrated, and he knew that Li Tingzhi's daughter was peeking at him in a corner.

In the corridor in front, a touch of red flashed, although the movement was fast, Wu Shaogang still saw clearly, it was the maid who opened the door, since the maid was here, then the young lady must be nearby.

Wu Shaogang wanted to concentrate and see what this girl looked like, but when he followed the housekeeper and walked forward slowly, he gave up this idea, even if he saw it, could it be because the parents were not good, and he could still oppose the failure of this marriage, not to mention that he had seen the Gong family in the lobby before, although the grade was a little older, but his face was still gorgeous, the mother was so beautiful, and the daughter could be so bad.

The back garden is obviously a bit depressed, and it's no wonder, after all, it's a cold winter season.

There are no trees in the backyard, and it looks a little empty.

A person who looked like a nurse hurriedly entered the backyard, smiled at Wu Shaogang, walked to the butler's side, whispered a few words, the housekeeper nodded, turned to Wu Shaogang and spoke, saying that the master had an invitation and asked Wu Shaogang to go to the study.

When he walked to the round gate, Wu Shaogang couldn't help but turn around and look at the backyard again.

I don't know why, this backyard gives him a very strange feeling, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, the backyard is all available, but there is always a lack of some green, which makes people feel short, if you can plant some small trees between the pavilions, it would be better.

Comparatively speaking, the front yard and the middle yard give people a more comfortable feeling.

In fact, this is Wu Shaogang does not understand the situation of the powerful family, almost all the powerful houses in the capital are such a structure, the back garden is easy not to plant trees, because the backyard is generally separated from the front yard and the middle yard, if the tree is planted, it is equivalent to a wood in the middle of the mouth, that is the meaning of sleepiness, and the most taboo of the powerful is this.

You must know that the writing of this trapped word has not changed since ancient times, and the meaning is almost the same.

Entering the study, Wu Shaogang saw Li Tingzhi standing in front of the windowsill at a glance.

"Shao Gang, talking to your parents, I learned that you have never taken a word, and I originally wanted to give you a word, but you are an adult, and you are not on the road of the imperial examination, so there is no need to take the word."

Wu Shaogang's face did not change, and his heart did not beat.

"My lord, my subordinates originally had a trade name, and the old gentleman once gave his subordinates a trade name, but he was only instructed not to disclose the trade name when he was under the age of eighteen."

"So that's the case, I don't know if the old gentleman is referring to a virtual age or a real age."

"The old gentleman is talking about the end of the Gengshen year, and his subordinates think that this should be the time."

Wu Shaogang said this, there is a deep consideration, since he said that he got the guidance of the old gentleman, then such an old gentleman, it is impossible not to give him a font number, the font size is a symbol of a person's identity, a person has reached the age of a weak crown, if he has not taken the word, people are not good to call, it is very impolite to name and say the surname in ancient times.

The old gentleman was extraordinary, and he did his best to teach his apprentices, obviously because he didn't want his ambitions to go to waste, and it was impossible for him to make such a mistake.

Li Tingzhi nodded slightly, infinitely emotional.

"This old gentleman is too powerful, I think the old gentleman means, in fact, it is that before you get engaged, you can't disclose the font size, the old gentleman can actually calculate this, comparable to the gods in the sky, Shao Gang, tell me what kind of font the old gentleman gave you."

"The old gentleman gave his subordinates the trade name Cangling."

"Cangling, this name is so domineering, did the old gentleman say what it means?"

Wu Shaogang's face showed embarrassment, but he still spoke.

"When the old gentleman took the word for his subordinates, the subordinates were not very old, and the old gentleman said eight words at that time, the still water was deep, and the song was sung, saying that it was a portrayal of the life of his subordinates, so he gave his subordinates the word Cangling."

Li Tingzhi thought for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

"It's so profound, the old gentleman must have said something, if you want to say it, just say it, don't want to say that I'm not reluctant."

"The old gentleman said, those who achieve great things, must cultivate themselves, if there is no big belly can tolerate the world's intolerable things and cultivation, it is not self-cultivation, silent still water, although the belly is turbulent, but the outside can not see the slightest, no noise, deep as the sea, if you can do so, that is the one who achieves great things."

Li Tingzhi's face had already changed a little, and he thought for a while before he spoke.

"The old gentleman is a man of God, Cangling, it is the will of heaven that you can get the teachings of the old gentleman, but this explanation of Cangling, you should not say it to anyone, even if it is in front of your family, don't open your mouth, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable to you to spread it."

"My subordinates know."

"Cangling, what are you doing when you come into the house, this is not Jiankang Mansion, nor is it in the imperial court, you are always so respectful, it seems to be a child."

Wu Shaogang understood the meaning and hurriedly bowed.

"My son-in-law meets my father-in-law."

"Haha, the son can be taught."

During the meal, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying were still a little restrained, which was inevitable, but Wu Shaogang's performance was very good, he was generous, stood up and poured wine for Li Tingzhi and Gong, and toasted as juniors.

The Gong family saw all this in their eyes, and the Gong family also discovered that after talking to Wu Shaogang in the study, the eyes of his own officials who looked at Wu Shaogang changed significantly, and even showed kindness.

Gong's impression of Wu Shaogang is still very good, such a young man is indeed rare.

When he left the mansion, he and his sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, madam, if it weren't for the young master's wisdom today, things would have been messed up, and the slave family would not be easy to explain."

Wu Qiming still understood the matter, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for this matter, just now, I will trouble you in the future."

The six rites of marriage, but the first ceremony of Nacai, the next name and Najib, Wu Shaogang does not need to participate, the name is asked to count the eight characters, to see if the eight characters of the man and woman are compatible, and Naji is a matchmaker came forward to inform the woman of the calculation of the birth of the eight characters, completed these steps, the next recruitment, is the most critical step, once the woman accepts the bride price sent by the man, the marriage is completely decided.

Watching his sister-in-law take the silver into his arms, Wu Qiming spoke to Wu Shaogang.

"Gang'er, tomorrow we are going to leave the capital and return to the village, Lan'er will also go back to the New Year together, come to the capital after the New Year, the housekeeper will stay in the capital, there are Qingniang and the housekeeper by your side, your mother and I are not particularly worried, but you can't go home during the Spring Festival, there is always something missing at home, and if you have time in the future, you still have to go home."
