Miss Wang Yingzi is the same age as him, and the teacher Wang Siren praised him a lot, so Zhang Yuan didn't think that Teacher Wang might marry his daughter Wang Yingzi to him, but when he was studying at Teacher Wang's house, Zhang Yuan already had the shadow of Shang Ran in his heart, and Teacher Wang's tone was not revealed before, he couldn't refuse first, so he threatened that he had a heart, that would be too self-indulgent, and Mr. Wang's daughter was not unable to marry, and he insisted on giving it to you, so you were so anxious to push it out!

But now, the teacher Wang Siren Tuohou County Commander put forward this matter, he must face, must make a choice, Wang Yingzi gave him a good impression, lively, hearty, smart, funny, worship Wang Siren as a teacher, marry the teacher's daughter, good story, and with Mr. Wang's door, he Zhang Yuan is definitely Gao Pan - life will always encounter a three-way intersection that you need to choose, where to go, what to guide? Is it the right word, or is it based on the feeling of the heart?

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, if he hadn't gone to the Huiji merchant in the morning and was called by Hou County Ling to talk about it, what would he choose at that time?

Promised to marry Wang Yingzi, let the bright shadow in my heart fade away, well, this is a very likely choice, after all, it is only a one-sided relationship with Shang Tanran, there is no promise, although the heart is moving, but the emotion is only in the bud, and it is not unforgettable, so it is reasonable to give up the feeling of heart and agree to Wang Yingzi's family affairs, but now it is completely different, only half a day later, the situation is different, Shang Tanran has firmly occupied a position in his heart, and the merchant gives him a warm and warm feeling that is difficult to let go, If you want to uproot it again, it will hurt others and hurt yourself - Hou Zhihan saw Zhang Yuan standing there with his head down and silent, thinking that Zhang Yuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and smiled: "Zhang Yuan, go back and tell Lingtang that you can ask someone to go to Teacher Wang's house to talk about the matchmaker, this county is a dark media, and there must be a bright media, haha." ”

Zhang Yuan made up his mind, crossed his hands and said: "The county lord is gentle, and the student has something important to say." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's expression did not look like he was happy, this made Hou Zhihan slightly surprised, and nodded: "You say." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The student accompanied my third brother Zhang Cao to the Taoyuan blind date on August 16, which is the girl of the Huiji Shang family, I don't know if the county lord has ever heard of this?" ”

Hou Zhihan didn't understand what Zhang Yuan was doing about this, and replied: "I have heard that it is said that Zhang Cao did not go on a blind date, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, but my three brothers didn't go on a blind date, but the students did." ”

Hou Zhihan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The student met the Shang girl on the island in the middle of the lake in the Taoyuan, sheltered from the rain in the island pavilion, played a game of blind chess, talked about the rainstorm verses, and had relatives. Although he did not officially join the Geng post, Zhang Yuan had already reported his birthday to Shang Zhoude, saying that there was nothing wrong with handing over the Geng post.

Hou Zhihan was stunned, he thought that the marriage between Zhang Yuan and Teacher Wang's daughter was a match made in heaven, but Zhang Yuan said this, and the Shang girl took the lead, which made Hou Zhihan a little unhappy, and said: "Then what do you say about not discussing marriage before Xiucai-"

Zhang Yuan said deeply: "This is indeed the fault of the students, because the students are only talking about their relatives today, and the rites of accepting and collecting are not carried out, so it is inconvenient to publicize them, so they say this, and the students are very ashamed." ”

Zhang Yuan's words were sincere, and Hou Zhihan didn't want to blame him anymore, after all, this was Zhang Yuan's private matter, and Zhang Yuan was understandable for doing this, shaking his head and saying: "It's easy to say it on my side, Teacher Wang's side, you have to explain it yourself, I won't talk about this embarrassing thing." ”

Zhang Yuan only said yes.

Hou Zhihan asked, "Then when are you going to come to the door to explain?" Don't procrastinate, the sooner the better. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I will only go tonight, and the students will first explain this matter to their ancestors." ”

Hou Zhihan nodded and said, "This matter is indeed to be decided by Su Weng, so you should go quickly." He said: "Although the matter has come to this, I still have to say, Zhang Yuan, Teacher Wang's daughter is very compatible with you, if possible, it is better to marry Miss Wang Er, don't you have not yet performed six salutes with the Shang girl-That's it, I won't say it, you can do it yourself, it seems that you are always in trouble at any time, in the past few months, you have learned to fight Yao Fu in eight shares, and now Yao Fu has let you fight down, and this matter has come out again, and see how you deal with it properly - do you still have any clever plans, you might as well talk to the county first." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "What tricks can the student have, it is nothing more than to bear the guilt of Jing and ask Teacher Wang not to beat me out of the stick." ”

Hou Zhihan smiled: "Why is this! But Mr. Wang's displeasure is certain, you should hurry up and explain it with kind words. ”

Zhang Yuan went out of the county government and took Wuling Jing to the west of Zhang Zhuangyuan's first uncle Zhang Rulin, when it was dusk, he met Zhang Cao outside the North Courtyard, Zhang Cao dragged him and said: "Jiezi, I will go to you in the morning, the big stone said that you will audit the merchants to see the chrysanthemums, what chrysanthemums to see, to see the Shang girl, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, I'm ready to get engaged." ”

Zhang Cao glared and said, "Wow, meson, if you don't make a sound, you will take all the good things, and you will be angry with me." As he spoke, he laughed out loud, hooked his shoulders with Zhang Yuan and said: "I heard that the Shang girl doesn't bind her feet, I knew it was like this, I wouldn't go on a blind date, and I fell so hard that she looked down on her and lost face - I prefer the little golden lotus feet, the golden lotus cup drinks, and it is not too fast, and Ximen Qing in "Golden Vase Plum" also loves to eat shoes and cups. Seeing Zhang Yuan's speechless appearance, he patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said very righteously: "But if I don't go to Taoyuan, you and the Shang girl will not have the marriage today, so I will accompany you, then I will accompany you to go on a blind date, upside down, the more you talk, the more confused, haha-meson, what are you looking for your father?" ”

Of course, Zhang Yuan can't say anything about Miss Wang Yingzi to Zhang Cao's big mouth, he will publicize it to you all over the city, and said: "It's about my engagement with Miss Shang, and I need Uncle Clan to help me get an idea." ”

Say goodbye to Zhang Cao, Zhang Yuan entered the north courtyard, waited for the ancestor of the clan outside the door of the weeping flower instrument, and a little maid went in to report, and after a while, the beautiful maid Lianxia hurriedly came out, and blessed a blessing with shame: "Young Master Jiezi, the eldest lord invites you to go in." ”

Zhang Yuan followed Lianxia in, and when he saw that this beautiful maid had a shy face and no relatives, he asked, "Lianxia, how is your father's illness?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lianxia knelt down and kowtowed to him, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Young Master Jiezi for saving my father, thank you Young Master Jiezi-"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up, I still have urgent things to see my uncle." Seeing Lian Xia stand up, Fang said, "I just asked, I didn't mean to thank you." ”

Lian Xia followed Zhang Yuan and walked in broken steps, and said in a soft voice: "The third young master and the young master Jie Zi sent silver, and the little maid has the money to treat her father's illness, and now that the illness has been cured for seven or eight points, the little maid will come back to serve, and she has been thinking about going to Dongzhang to kowtow to the young master Jie Zi." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It's good to be well, don't thank you." ”

As he spoke, when he arrived in the small hall of the North Courtyard, Zhang Rulin was looking at the old plum tree in the courtyard under the eaves, and when he saw Zhang Yuan, he said: "Zhang Yuan, you look at this old plum, they are all ready to let go, and the weather is really cold early this year." ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly walked over and gave a salute with his crossed hands, and said: "It's not yet the winter moon, the weather is unusually cold, and when the clan grandchildren go to Huiji in the morning, they all see that the roadside is icy." Xin said: "Is this south of the Yangtze River also affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River?" In the late Ming Dynasty, natural disasters were frequent, especially snow disasters and droughts, almost every year, and later commentators have explained that the fall of the dynasty is closely related to the frequent natural disasters during the Xiaoice period, natural disasters caused grain production to be reduced or even lost, the government was ineffective in disaster relief, and the peasants could not make a living, so they reversed, and the gorgeous and decaying dynasty edifice collapsed once - Hou Xianzun was right, I was always in trouble, there were too many things waiting for me to solve, the heavens sent a great responsibility, who else to give up, and now, the marriage matter must be solved. ”

Zhang Rulin asked: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Yuan said that he met Shang Zhou De yesterday and invited him to enjoy the chrysanthemum, and when he went today, he knew that Shang Zhou De intended to give him the little sister Xu to him, Zhang Rulin smiled: "Good thing, Zhang Cao told me last time that he said that he was on a blind date in Taoyuan, I expected that Zhang Cao would not succeed in you, and it was very likely that you would succeed, and sure enough, hey, Zhang Yuan, why do you have a sad face?" ”

Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly: "Fang Cai Hou County called the grandson of the clan to go, saying that Mr. Ji Zhong intended to marry his daughter to the grandson, and the grandson was so distressed. ”

Zhang Rulin was stunned, then laughed out loud, and said: "This is really a happy enemy, Zhang Yuan, so how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I just want to ask my uncle for advice." ”

Zhang Rulin said: "Uncle can't help you in this matter, you can't have both, you are all official eunuchs, no one can commit to you as a concubine, you can only marry one, which one do you choose?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The grandson of the clan has promised the merchant to ask the media to ask for marriage in two days, and my mother has agreed." ”

Zhang Rulin nodded and said: "Only in this way, if you fail the Shang girl, then you must be turning against you, this is no different from regretting marriage, this thing can't be done, as for the Tan An, you can still turn around, after all, he is a later word - what, did you come to ask your uncle to explain to Tan An for you?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The grandson of the teacher has to explain it himself, it is not good to ask the ancestor to go, the grandson is here to let the ancestor know about this, there is the uncle and the ancestor is the master, and the grandson also has a bottom in his heart." ”

Zhang Rulin nodded again and again, expressing satisfaction with Zhang Yuan's sophistication, and many things are indeed to be taken care of by himself.

Back in Dongzhang, Zhang Yuan told his mother about it, and Zhang's mother Lu Shi hurriedly said: "Then my son will hurry up and explain to Mr. with good words, and I will definitely ask Mr. for understanding." He ordered Shi Shuang to hire a warm sedan chair, the weather was cold, and the windy rattan sedan chair could not sit.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly ate some food, sat in a warm sedan chair, and went to Huiji in the twilight accompanied by Shi Shuang.
