Guo Ye thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, I will agree to go to Xingyang Zheng to propose marriage!" However, the day of marriage has to be eight years later. And within these eight years, if Fei Fei thinks that I Guo Ye is not a good match, I can regret my marriage! What do you think? ”

In fact, this method is not very good, but this is already the best way that Guo Ye can come up with! There is no shortage of beauties around Guo Ye, and he doesn't want to be in trouble anymore. I only hope that time can dilute the green feelings in the little girl's heart!

However, Guo Ye also knows that his hope is a bit unreliable, one is that Zheng Feifei, a little girl, may not be able to empathize with other loves, and the other is that although the Tang Dynasty is open, Xingyang Zheng is quite ancient, Zheng Feifei wants to regret marriage, Xingyang Zheng will not agree!

Therefore, this proposal is just a dead horse to be a live horse doctor and delay time! What if the Xingyang Zheng clan collapses in a few years, won't this matter take a turn for the better?

When Zheng Yuan heard this, he frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Do you think that I, Zheng Yuan, am a person who does not believe in his word? ”

Guo Ye explained: "Don't get me wrong! You care about your reputation, and you have to think about Guo. If Guo agrees, will anyone say that Guo is taking advantage of others? Guo's proposal is just for self-preservation! ”

"Sounds like a bit of a point!"

Guo Yedao: "In that case, let's sign a deed!" If you write it in black and white, you won't be afraid of those people chewing the root of your tongue! Zishan, get a pen and paper! ”

Sun Zishan went out to get a pen and paper, Zheng Yuan pointed to his back and said, "Who is this?" ”

Guo Ye said: "He, his name is Sun Zishan, and he is my Guo Ye's apprentice!" ”

Zheng Yuan wrote, and the deed was written in duplicate quickly. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, this can be regarded as Zheng Feifei and Guo Ye's engagement. Because in essence, Guo Ye is not marrying a wife, but taking a concubine, and there is no need for complicated procedures, as long as Zheng Feifei's biological father agrees, this matter will be done!

But in fact, this matter still has to have the consent of the Zheng family in Xingyang to be considered complete. As long as Zheng Yuan doesn't want to cut himself off from the family, he has to follow the clan rules of the Zheng family in Xingyang. In this era, the clan rules are far more sacred in people's minds than the laws of the imperial court!

After signing the deed, everyone is happy!

Sun Tzu said kindly: "Fei Fei, congratulations!" Congratulations! In a moment, Uncle Coward invites you to sugar! ”

"Okay, okay!" Although Zheng Feifei is a little girl with spring, she is still a child after all, and when she heard that there was candy to eat, she jumped with joy!

Zheng Yuan's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "There are no rules!" How can you get Fei Fei to call you uncle? ”

Sun Zishan patted his head and said, "This is mine!" Fei Fei, in the future, we will talk about each other as equals, you call me a coward brother! ”

Guo Ye saw that this unlucky child hadn't figured out the situation yet, and said with a wry smile: "Zishan, this matter is not as simple as being taught by peers!" ”

"What's that called?"

Zheng Yuan sneered and said, "You have to be called Fei Fei Shi Niang!" ”

"What?"

Zheng Feifei pulled out her chest and said, "Good apprentice, call the master quickly!" I married your master, what do you call your master if you don't call it? ”

"Yes, Master!"

……

……

Now that he has agreed, Guo Ye will not drag his feet! Without further ado, Guo Ye took the eldest grandson, turtledove and Zheng Yuan together, rode four fast horses, and went straight to Xingyang! As for the Boling Cui clan's side, Guo Ye hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet, so he can only let it go first!

Three days later, the four of them came to the door of a large mansion, turned over and dismounted! On the way here, Zheng Yuan has already introduced that the owner of this mansion is surnamed Zheng Mingqingshan, and he is the patriarch of the Zheng family! Zheng Feifei's matter, with his approval, is almost over!

Zheng Qingshan is over 70 years old this year, but he is well maintained, with a childish face and a loud voice!

Let Guo Ye and others to the living room, and their own servants offered fragrant tea.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and Zheng Yuan introduced the two sides!

Zheng Qingshan frowned after listening to the introduction, and said: "Pingyang County Prince, we are meeting for the first time, so there are some things I shouldn't say!" But I, Zheng Qingshan, have this straight temper, if there's anything wrong, I want to say it! ”

Guo Yedao: "If the old gentleman has something to say, please speak in person!" Guo listens! ”

"You are a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and this eldest grandson general is not of low grade, so you can naturally sit down with the old man and talk about it! But what kind of turtledove is this, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is not a good thing, and it has no official position, why is it sitting here? Even if he is your personal companion, you can just put him outside and be with the servants of the old man's house. ”

Although Turtledove is one of the Five Tigers of Dongchang, he himself is born in Luodixiu, and he naturally has an inferiority complex for this kind of family. Hearing Zheng Qingshan's words, his face turned red, and he glanced at Guo Ye with slanted eyes, not knowing what to do.

Guo Ye snorted coldly and said: "Originally, Guo thought that the Zheng family in Xingyang was a famous family, and it was not customary. Today, I look at it, but it's normal! ”

As soon as Zheng Yuan heard Guo Ye's words, he was frightened, Zheng Feifei was still counting on Zheng Qingshan for his affairs, how could he not give Zheng Qingshan pleasure at this time?

He hurriedly said: "Pingyang County Prince, please be cautious!" My Xingyang Zheng clan is one of the five great scholar clans, admired by the world, and well-known at home! You belittle my Xingyang Zheng family for no reason, if you don't give me an explanation today, although you are brought by my Zheng Yuan, I will also cut off my robe with you! ”

Zheng Qingshan glanced at Zheng Yuan appreciatively and said, "A virtuous nephew can't make a mistake!" The prince of Pingyang County is in a high position at a young age, and it is inevitable that he will be a little impetuous! My Xingyang Zheng family is a famous family for thousands of years, and I must be tolerant. Some things are just listened to, don't take them seriously! ”

Guo Ye said unconvinced: "It's not like I'm going to slander your Xingyang Zheng family for no reason!" It's because I listened to Qingshangong's words that I had this emotion! ”

"Huh? What's wrong with the old man's words? ”

"The old gentleman takes people by identity, but he is really inferior! Although this turtledove has no official position, his status is extraordinary and his bloodline is noble! Guo treated him politely because of his background! ”

"Oh? What is the origin of this turtledove? ”

"The turtledove's surname is Li Zhiting, do you understand what I said?"

"The surname is Li, could it be that he is from the royal family? That's not a big deal, as a member of the royal family, at such an age, he doesn't even have an official position. Still not worthy of being on an equal footing with the old man! ”

"You're thinking wrong. He is not a member of the royal family, but a member of the Li family in Longxi! Longxi Li's family, admired by the world! As a member of the Li family in Longxi, isn't it natural for me Guo Ye to respect him a little? Old gentleman, the emphasis on official positions and the neglect of family ranks is really laughable! ”

Of course, the turtledove is not a member of the Li family in Longxi, Guo Ye is just talking nonsense, but this place is thousands of miles away from Longxi, and Zheng Qingshan can't verify it!

Moreover, Guo Yeming refuted Zheng Yuanshan on the surface, but secretly praised the five major scholars. For the Zheng family of Xingyang, there is nothing more intimate than this kind of touting! In particular, he ridiculed Zheng Qingshan for not "emphasizing official positions and ignoring family ranks", which even scratched Zheng Qingshan's itch!

Zheng Qingshan stood up, with a smile in his eyes, and bowed deeply to Guo Ye and Turtledove, and said, "I see, Qingshan has been taught!" The children of the Li family in Longxi should have a seat in this room! ”

Seeing that this old guy was coaxed, Guo Ye took the opportunity to bring up Zheng Feifei's matter!

Zheng Qingshan was happy in his heart at this time, and said, "This matter is simple! The prince of Pingyang County is in a high position, so it is not considered to have insulted my daughter of the Zheng family. As long as the dowry arrives, the people of the clan must have nothing to say! ”

"I wonder how much dowry is needed?"

"If it's an ordinary person, it's at least 50,000! However, the prince of Pingyang County, the old man is in charge, as long as 10,000 is enough! ”

This is an understatement, but 10,000 is not a lot, that's a thousand taels of gold! Of course, for Guo Ye, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a stack of money tickets from his bosom and handed them over! This is what Cui Xuanren lost to him, just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!

Zheng Qingshan put away the money ticket and said, "That's pretty much it!" However, the matter of marriage is very important, and the old man cannot completely make the decision, and this matter must be approved by several other clan elders! The prince of Pingyang County might as well live here with the old man first, and wait for the other clan elders to agree, and then you can get the deed of consent within the clan! ”

"Then the other clan elders, do you need me to walk around?"

"No, no! Pingyang County can wait for good news! ”

It seems that things are going quite smoothly, and Guo Ye lives in Zheng Qingshan's mansion. But the so-called good news is that the left waits don't come, and the right waits don't come, Guo Ye waited for seven days in a row, but there was no movement! They asked to see Zheng Qingshan again, but they heard that the old man was sick and didn't see any guests!

Could it be that something happened?
