Chapter 10 Wealthy families compete for sons-in-law

In fact, although these elders of the Shi Pavilion and the Confucian scholars of Jing Da explained that they came to ask for marriage, they knew very well that Xiao Mo's marriage was not a private matter between two families and two families from the beginning, but an important variable that could affect the political pattern of the Chu Dynasty in the long run, and it was a serious political event, and the Xiao family at this time would inevitably be extremely cautious in the choice of the marriage partner, and it would never be possible to answer immediately. [No pop-up novel network]

Therefore, when these matchmakers came to the Chu family, in addition to saying goodbye, they also came to trade with the Chu family. shows what advantages the woman's family he represents, how much he values the Xiao family, and what the Xiao family should pay and what they can get after the marriage of the two families.

As for whether the eight characters of the birthday are compatible, whether the woman is virtuous and virtuous, and whether the two parties are talented and beautiful, they have not paid much attention to it from the beginning, and in their opinion, I am afraid that the Xiao family will not care much about these factors.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Xiao family would come to so many "matchmakers" in one go, although they knew that everyone's tasks were basically similar, but in front of so many people, it was difficult to say those words of exchange of interests, so they could only say some polite words with Xiao Shenyan to kill time, that is, they didn't dare to make their words clear, and they didn't dare to leave first to let others seize the opportunity to take advantage, and they seemed to have lost their sincerity, and a group of people were so deadlocked.

As soon as the sun dawned, these matchmakers came one after another, and now it was almost noon, but they still didn't care, just waiting for others to leave first, lunch could only be eaten by the Xiao family, and if this situation continues, I'm afraid dinner will be the same.

Perhaps, after dinner, there will be people who say that they "hit it off with Xiao Shenxing at first sight, and please stay at Xiao's house all night long" Yunyun.

………

Under such circumstances, the words of the Yang family not only raised the women of the Su family, but also degraded the women of other families, and broke the deadlock all at once.

Although no one in the audience really cares about the so-called "Eight Characters of Birth", the momentum must not be weak.

Therefore, as soon as the Yang family's words fell, Xiao Shenxing didn't have time to answer, when he heard a long-bearded old man snort lightly and said: "Elder Yang's words are wrong, I think it is the reason why you only read Confucian classics on weekdays, and you don't pay much attention to such a small way as easy to learn mathematics, but you don't know that this life study also has the saying of 'too much'. Although the soil is golden, but it lacks potential, the wood is solid, but it is difficult to last, although the eight characters of the daughter of the Su family are good, but after matching the eight characters of Xiao Mo's family, I am afraid it may not be a good thing. ”

The long-bearded old man's name is Zhou Zhenhuan, and his identity is not trivial, Zhi Shi was the head of the Imperial Historical Observatory before, and the official worships the Imperial Doctor, although he is now Zhishi, but there are still many disciples of the Imperial Historical Observatory to do things, and the influence is not small, although the identity of the saints is not as good as the Yang family, but they will not be afraid of him.

And he came this time to ask for relatives on behalf of others, but the person behind it was his disciple, the current Yushi Chengwu Chengjie.

Or this Yang Xue's status is too high, and the Su family power it represents is also too outstanding, and when Zhou Zhenhuan's words fell, many others echoed it, and for a while, the position was surprisingly consistent, and it was obviously a strategy for the country to form an alliance to attack Qin.

And that Yang Xue was refuted like this, and he lost face, so he was naturally humiliated, and immediately fought back, fighting against the Confucians. And Zhou Zhenhuan and others are not afraid to fight, and some people continue to refute them.

For a time, Yang Xue said "Ya Najia", others said "Four Pillars and Eight Characters", Yang Xue said "Ziwei Doushu", others said "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", Yang Xue said "Husband and Wife Astrology", others said "Dry and Together", which was very lively.

On the other side, looking at all this in front of them, everyone in the Xiao family looked at each other, understood the situation, and knew that this was a group of Jingda Confucians and Zhishi Pavilion elders who were entrusted to come to the Xiao family to ask for relatives; If you don't understand the situation, I'm afraid you will think that this is a group of fortune tellers here to learn skills.

After all, Yang Xue did not have the ability to fight Confucianism like Zhuge Kongming, and he could defeat with more than one enemy, and he didn't want to admit defeat, but he just snorted coldly, put up a fight, and said: "The eight-character criticism of life is too illusory, and it can't be believed, although I talked about it before, but I only take into account the traditional customs, marriage habits, and it is harmless. ”

At this moment, Yang Xue seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who fought hard just now.

Without waiting for others to refute, Yang Xue had already turned to Xiao Shenxing and said: "It is the nature of people to fight lightly, and for a while, the rules and decency were lost in front of the master's family, which made Brother Xiao smile." ”

Xiao Shenxing shook his head and smiled: "Where is it, Yang Lao has seen the outside, my Xiao family is just a small family based in the remote countryside, although it moved to Beijing because of Mo'er, but how can there be any rules and systems, it is much more chaotic than this on weekdays, but I have listened to the sages debating the classics and gained a lot of knowledge." ”

Yang Xue sighed: "Brother Xiao is really humble, and he can teach Xiao Zirou Xiao and everyone such a talent that is rare in a hundred years, which shows the family history of the Xiao family. ”

After a pause, Yang Xue glanced at the others, and then said leisurely: "Speaking of family history, I think that this man and woman marrying, compared with the birth date, actually pay attention to a good match. Brother Xiao first came to the capital, I'm afraid I don't know, although the world says that there are many wealthy families in the capital, but that is just ignorant and unheard of in the world. In fact, my Great Chu Dynasty, a family that can really be called a 'wealthy family', even if it is full, there are only eleven families. ”

Speaking of which, Yang Xue's momentum suddenly flourished, and the momentum of other matchmakers also declined.

I saw Yang Xue snapping his fingers and counting: "These eleven families are the Liu family of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Luo family of the Duke of Huguo, the Pang family of the Duke of Yiguo, and the Kou family of the Duke of Wei...... and the Su family of the Fuguo Gong who came to ask for relatives today. ”

"Eleven giants, such a great majesty! Yes, if it wasn't for the support of the Su family back then, how could you Yang Lao be called the prime minister for nearly ten years? It's no wonder that today, Old Yang, you are working so hard for the Su family. ”

As Yang Xue's words fell, Zhou Zhenhuan was already yin and yang and said in a strange way.

Yang Xuetang's generation of elders, he was actually said to be a person who could only rely on the trend of wealthy families to succeed, and he was not born as a doctor of imperial history.

But for the words of the eleven giants, Zhou Zhenhuan did not refute it.

And Yang Xue glared at Zhou Zhenhuan, and then said: "And the reason why these eleven families are considered to be real wealthy families, in addition to their own power prestige and connections, is because of my Great Chu Dynasty, only these eleven families, which are hereditary princes and feudal households, with glory and dignity, far beyond their peers. And now, Xiao Zirou Xiao's family has been awarded the grace of the emperor and has been named the hereditary Marquis of Weiguo, and the feudal towns are ten thousand households, which is only one level worse than the eleventh wealthy family. And with Xiao Zirou's talent and ability, who dares to say that the Xiao family will not become the twelfth hereditary family of my Great Chu in the future? If you talk about dignity, except for these eleven families, the rest of the families cannot be compared with the Xiao family, which is far behind. Similarly, if Xiao wants to get married, when it comes to being a good match, there is no match for these eleven families. ”

Hearing Yang Xue's words, everyone in the main hall, if they were surprised, I am afraid that it was still the Xiao family, although they knew that Xiao Mo was canonized by Emperor Chu Ling as the Marquis of Weiguo and the feudal ten thousand households, but after all, they had less knowledge, but they didn't expect such a title to be so noble, and they all looked at each other for a while, as if they were surprised and happy, and they only felt like a dream.

Yang Xue continued: "And the Su family, since the founding of the country, has been named the hereditary prince, family history, a long history, more than 200 years with the Zhenguo Gong Liu family, Wei Guo Gong Kou family, Yi Guo Gong Pang family, and even the royal family, there are many marriages, rich connections, the holy family is quite long, all dynasties, have been valued by the emperor, before and after a total of two queens, seven elders, all kinds of big people, is innumerable. It can be said that if the Xiao family and the Su family marry, it will be equivalent to having a marriage relationship with most of the wealthy families in Beijing and even the royal family at once, and the benefits in the meantime are needless to say. And Xiao Zirou Xiao's family will definitely be called the prime minister in the future, but after all, the foundation is shallow, there are not many cronies, and with the help of the Su family, if you want to make a difference in the future, you will also be handy. And in the future, the Xiao family, with the help of the Su family, will definitely be able to become the real wealthy family of my Dachu, the lintel is glorious and eternal!! ”

Yang Xue's words can be described as a naked temptation, and he almost made it clear that "as long as Xiao Mo and the Su family marry, the Su family will give you countless benefits".

Although Yang Xue's words were undisguised, the situation was stronger than people, and the other matchmakers were speechless to refute.

Compared with the rich heritage of the Su family, the other family forces that came to seek relatives, whether it was the background of the network or the strength of the potential force, were much weaker.

On the other side, the elders of the Xiao family who can speak, Xiao Shenxing, Xiao Shenyan, Liu and others, are also flashing their eyes at this moment, and the temptation of the sentence "The lintel is glorious and will never fade" is too great, but they can't help but think about it.

And the Yang family, as if afraid that what he said just now was not convincing enough, emphasized again: "This is a heartfelt word, and I ask Brother Xiao that you can think about it more, the meaning of the Su family's marriage is quite sincere." In my opinion, although there are countless big families in my Dachu, if Xiao Zirou Xiao wants to get married, I am afraid that there is no more suitable partner than the woman of the Su family. The young lady of the Su family, who has an extraordinary background, is also a family scholar, quite educated, knowledgeable, intelligent and virtuous, and her appearance is also the best choice, which is a good match for Xiao Moxiao. ”

The affairs of the family are so weird, as soon as the words of the Yang family fell, I saw a small man hurriedly running to the main hall, bowing to Xiao Shenxing and saying, "Master, the protector of the country Luo Shang Luo Gong is visiting." ”

When the words fell, the whole hall was shocked.

The family is not only the spokesperson of the military forces of the Chu Dynasty, but also has many sons and daughters who have made many achievements, whether it is a saint, prestige, or latent power, they are also above the Su family. Compared with the Luo family of the Protector Gong, the Auxiliary Gong is perhaps only stronger.

Therefore, when they heard that the protector of the country Luo Shang was visiting, whether it was the Xiao family or the "matchmakers", they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out to greet them.

Even if Xiao Shenxing's legs and feet were inconvenient, he was carried to the outside of the hall to greet him.

However, as soon as everyone got up and walked, they saw another servant hurrying forward and said, "Sir, the privy envoy Wang Han Wang has come to visit. ”

The crowd was shocked again.

Although there are rumors that Wang Hansheng's family has been lost and his resignation is not far away, after all, he is a powerful minister who can compete with Prime Minister Zhang Qian for decades.

And the Wang family of the Duke of Yingguo, because of the family's *** Wang Han, the eleven wealthy families have been in the limelight in recent years.

However, as soon as everyone came out of the hall, they saw that the protector Luo Shang and the privy envoy Wang Han had come shoulder to shoulder, and when they saw Xiao Shenxing, who had inconvenient legs and feet, they all came out to greet him in person, whether it was true or not, they all confessed their sins again and again, and their expressions were all panicked.

After some politeness, everyone returned to the main hall, and when Xiao Shenxing asked the purpose of the two visits, he heard Wang Han smile and said: "I am here to ask for marriage with the Xiao family on behalf of the Wang family of the Duke of Yingguo." Originally, I had a public office, so it was inconvenient to be the identity of this matchmaker, but unfortunately my Wang family was a step late, and I searched the capital all over the capital, and the Confucian nobles who were qualified to ask for relatives on behalf of my Wang family were not in the house, so I had no choice but to come in person. ”

Saying that, Wang Han glanced at everyone in the hall, and said with a smile: "It turns out that everyone has come to the Xiao Mansion."

Luo Shang, the protector of the country, also nodded, glanced at Wang Han, and then at Yang Xue, and said: "What a coincidence, this father is also like this, there is a daughter in the clan who is the age to be married, and Xiao Moxiao's age should have been married a long time ago." Thinking that you and I are the right match, I intend to marry, but unfortunately there is no one to entrust, so I can only come in person. If there is a violation of the rules, please don't blame the host. ”

After hearing the words of the two, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on the Yang family.

The Yang family just said that there is no more suitable marriage partner than the Su family, and the words have the meaning of the Su family's exclusive respect, but the retribution is not happy, and as soon as the words fell, two powerful families whose reputation is not weaker than the Su family came to ask for marriage.

On the other side, everyone in the Xiao family, seeing such a scene, felt that it was difficult to do.

The Su family of the auxiliary prince has a wide range of connections, and the Luo family of the protector of the country has a strong reputation, and the royal family of the prince of the country is in the limelight. If you promise one family, I'm afraid you will offend the other two, what should I do?

At the same time, the other elders of Zhishige and the Confucian scholars of Beijing who came to ask for relatives on behalf of others already knew that their task was likely to have failed, although they had regrets, they were not in a hurry to leave, but watched with interest this once-in-a-century rich family competition for son-in-law.
