Chapter 949: The Horse and the Literary Society (2)
Although it is said to be a literary meeting to recruit horses, on the surface, this time it is still a normal family banquet, everyone drinks, chats, and writes a few poems when they are interested. Or talk about business, gossip, there are no too strict rules.
The tribute envoy of the Buddha Lang Ji finally completed the exchange of the contract, and no matter how the ministers objected, the Son of Heaven still stamped the imperial seal on the treaty of the Buddha Ming Trench. From this moment on, the Ming court recognized the de facto occupation of Manchuria, terminated the order to kill the Franco, and gave the franc machine the right to pay tribute, and also recognized the legal status of the Thirteen Lines, allowing the Ming merchants to trade with the franc machine. The prince of Manraka took the minister to the Ministry of Rites twice to make trouble, and then he was warned by some mysterious people, and then disappeared and stopped making trouble.
For these royal relatives, the mood of Prince Manraka does not matter, they are more concerned about their own interests and gains and losses. Most of them have stakes in Yeung Kee, and some have invested in maritime trading businesses in the south. These people are delicate and expensive, and it is impossible to really fight against the wind and waves and earn a life money.
However, after investing, dividends are collected, or people are used as backers to eat dry stocks, and there are many similar things. The passage with the Franc aircraft is opened, which means that the sea trade can be carried out normally, and their investment will be rewarded. From this point of view, these people still support the success of the tribute, and by the way, they also have a lot of praise for Yang Ji. As for some people's traitorous theories, most of these people scoff at it, and they are just a desert island, which is also called a traitor? If it can be sold for such a price, it is a good business to sell the country.
Several candidates gathered together to greet each other, on the surface it was a group of harmony, but in private, they were quietly making moves. Everyone is a decent person, and they all have backers behind them, and it is impossible to stand up and fight. Just show your talent as much as possible, let Princess Yongchun behind the curtain cage see herself, and earn a little more impression points.
Behind the beaded curtain, a beautiful woman in her forties sat at the top, with Yongchun accompanying the bottom, watching the young scholars outside walk around through the curtain. In terms of the eldest princess Yongkang, she is closer to the Zhang family, and she is not far from Jiajing's side. Especially Yongchunsheng's beauty, his demeanor is different from Yongshou's domineering, which is pitiful and pitiful.
Looking at her appearance, Princess Yongkang sighed, "Poor man, born a beautiful billet, why is her life so bitter." One is like this, and the other two are like this, this time my aunt will definitely make decisions for you and find a good one. The girl's face is tender, and she is embarrassed to say something, but it doesn't matter, you look out, if you look at whoever is pleasing to the eye, you will give this golden flower in your hand to whoever wears it, and your aunt will know your mind. ”
Yongchun nodded, bowed his head and played with the golden flower, seemingly not paying much attention to the people outside. Princess Yongkang then persuaded: "Xiuyan, are you still thinking about Chen Zhao? I heard that he doesn't seem to be married yet, do you want your uncle to send someone to invite him over? However, his affairs are a bit big, if you still want to order him, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome. ”
"Auntie, I don't want to pick on Chen Zhao. I haven't actually met him either, and I can't talk about whether I like it or not, let alone worry about it. ”
"That's good, it's good if you don't worry about him, these people are all talented, they are all very good-looking, which one you choose, it's not bad. In fact, you should be content, the good husband is chosen by yourself, when my aunt and I got married, I didn't even see your uncle's appearance. It wasn't until they became relatives that I saw what he looked like. Speaking of which, my aunt is a little envious of you. Tell your aunt, what kind of one are you looking for first? Or ask them to write you a poem, or do you want to make a picture? ”
Yongchun shook his head, but remembered that in the ruins, the man's body was a little numb when he was steady on the arch of his foot. His feet turned a few times unconsciously, and he suddenly asked, "Auntie, are they ...... Do any of them know how to sing or play musical instruments? ”
Princess Yongkang was stunned, "Singing? I don't think they can do this, they are all scholars, and no one learns this. Musical instruments...... I guess I didn't prepare. …… Xiuyan, in fact, when my aunt was young, like you, I hope that my husband can do anything, playing, playing and singing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and she must be good-looking, otherwise how can she be worthy of the princess? But then I realized that although we were born in the emperor's family, if we want to get married, we are worse than ordinary women. Good people don't want to pick on us, and most of the people who are willing to marry us are just a bunch of bastards. ”
Her status is relatively high, and she is qualified to speak, but she doesn't have so many cover-ups" Among my elders, several of them are scoundrels, and they are really bastards, but they can only accept their fate. My uncle is a prisoner of the country, and your uncle is not very good at studying, and he can't do anything else, so he is simply a stupid wood. When I first started, I also secretly cried, thinking that I would live with such a person for the rest of my life, and I thought that it was better to die. But after a few years, I felt better about him. You can learn something you don't know. They come from poor backgrounds, and it is already very difficult to study, where do they get the time and money to learn those things. When you become parents, they can learn slowly, just like your uncle, sooner or later. ”
"Also, you're not too young, so you should get married. As for husbands, the most important thing is that people are good, honest and responsible, not those things. As long as he is good to you, obedient, and knows how to hurt people, he is a good man. When you have children, you will know that those things really don't matter. ”
She was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhang, naturally she wanted to promote Zhang Wenfeng, and looked through the curtain, Zhang Wenfeng really had to be considered handsome, a talent, and his appearance was much stronger than Cui Yuan. This person's reputation is also good, if it is not the master, I am afraid that he will have a chance to be admitted to the Jinshi, such a person is a colt, as long as someone is promoted, his achievements may not be lower than Cui Yuan.
Cui Yuan doesn't need to slap Zhang Wenfeng, but from the perspective of Yongchun's happiness, it is ideal to choose such a husband. Princess Yongkang pointed at Zhang Wenfeng and said, "Look, this Zhang Wenfeng is a lifter." In our northland, he is also a famous talent, although he doesn't know what you said, but he is much better than your uncle. He is also a very good person, he is still from a poor family, and he is a righteous man and a gentleman by relying on his hard work to gain fame. If you become husband and wife, he will treat you well. ”
Are you kind to me? Listening to his aunt tell about the bits and pieces of married life, those happiness in peace, what came to Yongchun's mind was a confession outside the Jingshi City, under the night breeze; In the slums, he stood in front of himself, bloody killing, and protecting himself. How could my aunt understand that after experiencing those vigorous things, how could her ordinary life be attractive to her?
Again...... Besides, his feet were kissed by him, how could he still marry someone else? The eldest princess Yongkang also smiled when she saw her embarrassed appearance, "Yan'er, your aunt knows, this concubine, let's choose Zhang Wenfeng." You are embarrassed to send the golden flower, and your aunt will help you send it. ”
As soon as she ordered, the palace maid took out the golden flower and sent it to Zhang Wenfeng, and Cui Yuan, who was receiving guests outside, understood the decision behind it. came up with a smile and gossiped with Zhang Wenfeng, and inadvertently, he took him to the side of the staff and a few Hou masters, which can be regarded as a recognition of his identity.
The butler has already prepared a banquet so that those who lose the election will not be too disappointed. In this festive atmosphere, Princess Yongshou and Yang Chengzu broke in.
