After seeing it, Master Qiao also gasped and praised: "It's really a good poem." However, I haven't heard of such a literary talent in this little man? If this is the case, with this kind of literary talent, the tribute to Xiucai, Jinshi and the first, are all at your fingertips. ”

Qiao Guan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said slowly to Master Qiao: "My son has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"When is it, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Yes," Qiao Guan paused, and then said, "My son thinks like this, if this little man is really so literary and brilliant, and he is a good doctor, I am afraid that the future will be limitless, in this case, let's not introduce another girl, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and my father will recruit him as the east bed according to the previous agreement, wouldn't it be appropriate?" What's more, now Qiao'er's leg injury has to be treated by him, which can be regarded as fate. not only kept the marriage contract between his father and them, but also allowed Xiao Langzhong to heal Qiao'er's leg injury. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Master Qiao twisted his beard and muttered, Mrs. Qiao took the poem and read it again, nodded and said: "Master, I also think that Guan'er is a good idea, and the two of them are also quite close, and now the Zuo family is blind date in the capital, which is a godsend, otherwise, when the marriage is decided, let's talk about it, I'm afraid it will be over." ”

Qiao Guan finally smiled, but the smile was fleeting, so people didn't have time to observe whether they were laughing or grinning: "It's strange to say, the Zuo family has seen several families before and after the capital, two of which have been hired, and finally this family is ready to marry, but they all regretted the marriage, so angry that the Zuo family can't help it, let's go that day, I heard that they were repented of their marriage in the first two days, Zuo Gui's father scolded the other party in the inn for not talking about credibility, we didn't choose the time, it was he who was angry, so he had a bad temper." ”

Master Qiao said: "But judging from this poem, it is very literary, if you can really reach the first Jinshi, this family will also be knotted, but he did not participate in the tribute, I don't know if he can reach the first entry." What if it doesn't work repeatedly? ”

Qiao Guan seemed to attach great importance to Zuo Shaoyang, so his words were also towards him, and he bowed and said: "Dad, for most people, it is almost impossible to succeed in the tribute examination at one time, many literati have not passed the tribute examination, some have taken the test more than a dozen times, and their beards are white, so they are admitted, and I have not taken the test seven or eight times in a row, so I have passed the first?" ”

"No!" Master Qiao shook his head frequently.

Mrs. Qiao asked cautiously, "What should I do with the old man's meaning?" ”

Master Qiao said: "Let's ask Qiao'er first to see if he is happy." ”

Mrs. Qiao sat next to Qiao Qiao'er, put her arm around her and asked in a low voice, "Qiao'er, what do you think of your big brother Zuo?" Will you be his wife? ”

Qiao Qiao'er is still young, and she still doesn't seem to understand this kind of thing, and she said a little shyly: "Brother Zuo is very good and kind, but I'm just afraid that I won't be his wife." ”

"Why? It's okay for you to write poetry, what's not to do? ”

"It's not this, it's him, he already has two confidantes. One is a very beautiful maidservant, and the other is a big-eyed sister, and it can be seen that he likes both of them very much, and if he marries a wife, he will definitely choose one of them. ”

"You fool, if that's the case, what are they doing when they come to the capital from the countryside of Hezhou to ask for relatives? Have you nothing to do when you're full? ”

Qiao Guan also said: "One of the three conditions for their blind date is that they are allowed to take concubines after they get married, which means that the two women you are talking about may be the concubines he is going to accept in the future, and they can't marry them for some reason, so they go to the capital to choose another good match." ”

Master Qiao said: "That's Zuo Lang, who is poor and exquisite, and he prides himself on being a scholarly family of eunuchs, so he has to find a woman who is the right person to be his daughter-in-law." The two Qiao'er said do not meet this condition. ”

"Our family has no problem, of course, except for the issue of concubines, - Qiao'er, what do you think? In case you become Xiaolangzhong's wife in the future, are you willing for him to take a concubine? ”

Qiao Qiao'er was ashamed, turned her face and hid in her sister-in-law's arms: "I don't know!" ”

Mrs. Qiao smiled: "What's this, just nod and shake your head!" ”

Qiao Qiao'er twisted her body a few times, and finally nodded.

"That's fine!" Mrs. Qiao smiled and said to Master Qiao: "Master, Qiao'er agreed, and they can meet the three conditions of the Zuo family." This family can be done! ”

Old lady Qiao twisted her beard and muttered for a long time: "If I want my daughter to marry a Lang Zhong as his wife, I will not agree, unless he becomes a jinshi, now that he has this literary talent, so let's tell him, let him heal Qiao'er's leg injury first, how much this medicine will cost, as for the marriage, give him three years!" Within three years, he was able to become a jinshi, and Qiao'er married him! If we can't pass the exam, we can't be blamed for regretting our marriage. ”

Qiao Guan hurriedly agreed, thought about it, and said: "Father, judging from Mr. Zuo's attitude before, if we say it so straightforwardly, they won't be able to save face, but I'm afraid that they won't agree, once they refuse, this matter will die, it's best to find a proper lobbyist to help you agree." ”

Master Qiao nodded: "This is okay, but you have to find someone who is familiar with both sides, it is best to have some prestige, so that he can speak, and he is willing to listen, who to find?" They didn't have any other acquaintances in the capital. ”

Qiao Guan said: "We inquired about the news in Hezhou, they entered Beijing with the original Wailang Qu Xingqu, the former secretary of the Ancestral Department of the Ministry of Rites. I have a good relationship with Master Qu, so I'll visit him first and see if I can ask him to help me be a lobbyist. ”

Master Qiao said: "Okay, but the granddaughter of Old Lady Qu, I heard that she is the maid in Xiaolang, and it is likely to be her future concubine, I don't know if this will have any impact." ”

If this is the case, it is even more unlikely to have an impact, because he also hopes that Xiao Lang will marry a good wife in the future, so that his granddaughter can have a good life. Our Qiao'er is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and he must have heard about it in Hezhou, so he should be optimistic about Qiao'er. ”

"Well, that's very good."

Mrs. Qiao said: "I'm afraid that before we can talk about it, people have already decided to get married." ”

Qiao Guan said: "This doesn't matter, my son has inquired clearly, the Zuo family as a guarantee media said that the pro, is the Bao shopkeeper of the East City's 'Jishi Pharmaceutical Store', although the son is not familiar with him, but, 'Zhen's Medical Hall' is the old customer of their medicine store, Zhen Lao Shen Doctor was in the Sui Dynasty, he was a minister with our old lady, and they are familiar with each other, his eldest son Zhen Dafu is his father's world friend, and his granddaughter is a girlfriend with Qiao'er, why don't my father take Qiao'er to ask Dr. Zhen for help, please tell him to talk to the shopkeeper Bao, let him suspend his kiss, and wait for the results on our side." This is also for the good of their Zuo family, and Shopkeeper Bao should not refuse. ”

Master Qiao nodded frequently: "You reminded me, okay, let's divide into two ways, you go to visit Old Lady Qu, I will take Qiao'er to Dr. Zhen's house and ask him for help." -- Remember, don't mention the matter of marriage until you have to, ask them for help in treating their injuries first, and if they agree to treat their injuries, then there is no need to mention it, and it will not be too late for them to mention it after they enter high school in the future. If you don't agree, add this weight again! ”

Qiao Guan hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

―――――――――――― "Penglai Inn", Zuo Gui's father did not tell Zuo Shaoyang about Master Qiao's family coming to seek medical treatment. In the past few days, Zuo Shaoyang has been taking Bai Zhihan to wander around the capital, and he also went out of the city to play, and this morning, the two went out of the inn again.

Zuo Gui's father was sulking in the house, and there was no news from the shopkeeper Bao, so he asked for it, only saying that he was looking for it through the media, and there were a few that were not appropriate, and he wanted to find a better one. Let them wait patiently.

Zuo Gui and the others have been in the capital for more than half a month, seeing that the money in their pockets is going away little by little, and the marriage has not yet been eyebrowed, they are so anxious that they are burning.

At this moment, the shopkeeper took a greeting note and knocked on the door: "Master Zuo, an old man came down to visit, can you see it?" ”

Zuo Gui's father's face sank: "It's the old man's family again last time?" ”

"No, no, well, it's another old man, well, it's his post."

Zuo Gui took the post with a cold face and opened it to take a look, but it was the old lady Qu, who was surprised and happy at the moment, and said busily: "Quick!" Come inside! ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed to go downstairs, Zuo Gui's father instructed Ding Xiaosan to prepare tea, and then happily greeted him to the staircase, and saw Mrs. Qu walking up the steps step by step. Hurriedly walked down the steps and stretched out his hand to help, Old Man Qu waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm not old enough to be supported." ”

Father Zuo Gui immediately understood that Old Lady Qu was now bent on reinstating his official position, so he was naturally reckless everywhere, and he didn't even wear crutches when he went out, so he said happily: "Your body is tougher than mine, so you will be old, hehe." ”

The old lady Qu was even more happy, nodded again and again with her white beard, followed up to the second floor, walked to the front of the house, and let her in.

Old lady Qu looked around, only to see Ding Xiaosan, and said strangely: "What about Zuo Gongzi?" ”

"Zhong'er and Zhi'er went out to the city for a walk, the first time they came to the capital, it was very fresh, and they wanted to see everything."

"That's right, let's sit down and talk. Little San, you can also go out for a walk. ”

Ding Xiaosan knew that they had a private matter to discuss, so he hurriedly agreed, and after pouring the tea, he closed the door and went out.

Zuo Gui's father said: "How is the old lady's business?" ”

"Almost, Lord Shangshu and Lord Lang Zhong both nodded, just waiting for the formalities, it will take some time, it is estimated that it will be completed before the end of the year. By the way, I'm looking for a house right now, and I haven't found a suitable one, so it's hard to ask you to come over. ”

"The old man is polite, it's important that you get down to business first."

"I'm here today to do a business!" Old lady Qu said happily, "Before I came, I had already agreed, to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for Xiao Langzhong, a few days ago I have been busy with that bit of, I didn't make time, a few days ago I finally had time, I found some former colleagues and old friends for this matter, and I searched for many things, and finally got some results." ”

Zuo Gui was overjoyed: "The old lady can't be wrong with the introduction, whose daughter is it?" ”
