Chapter 108: Marriage proposal
Chapter 1o8 Proposal
[1o8] Proposal
"Brother Yao, have you been proposed to your family before?" Sun Maowen asked with a smile while collecting the cash ticket in his sleeve with satisfaction.
"I never mentioned it." Yao Fan wondered, Sun Maowen asked, do you want to be a matchmaker?
Sun Maowen slapped his thigh, picked up his wine glass and said, "Congratulations, brother!" I have a wonderful marriage here, and I am very suitable for Brother Yao. ”
Yao Fan looked at Sun Maowen and hesitantly picked up his wine glass. But he was a little confused, he was busy all day long with the accounts of the business, as well as the organization and training of the army, and he didn't think about starting a family at all.
"Why did Brother Sun say this?" Yao Fan asked.
"Do you know about the Jimo Huang family?" Sun Maowen pointed to the northeast and said.
Yao Fan's eyes rolled: "I know, I also saw the two young masters of his family at the Zhou Family Hall meeting." ”
"The day before yesterday, the eldest young master of the Huang family, Huang Jinshan, asked me, saying that since Yaojiazhuang entrusted the matchmaker everywhere and found the mother-in-law for the guys in the family, I just don't know, Brother Yao, have you married yourself."
Sun Maowen paused and continued: "At that time, I thought that Huang Jinshan had a sister who had not yet married, and I thought about listening to the meaning of his words, as if I wanted to marry Brother Yao, so I asked Huang Jinshan, what do you think of Brother Yao." ”
Yao Fan looked at Sun Maowen and listened to what he said.
"As a result, Brother Yao, what should you do? The golden mountain praised you, saying that you were dashing and dignified, and that you were worthy of his sister. Sun Maowen said with a smile.
"I don't even know what his sister looks like, how can this be." Yao Fan shook his head again and again.
Wei Guofu laughed and said: "Since it is a marriage, how can you let you see the appearance of his young lady in advance." ”
Sun Maowen was very anxious about Yao Fan's stupidity, and said, "Brother Yao! The Huang family is a rich man with more than 5ooo acres of land, in Jimo, half of Laoshan is his family, his family also has a pavilion and a pavilion on Laoshan Mountain, the spring water is endless, and it is a good place to cool off every year.
If you want to talk about business, the Huang family still has a wide range of businesses in various ports and cities in the Qing Dynasty, and there are 50,000 taels of income in a year just for raw silk trading.
The ancestor of his family, Huang Jiashan, the official to the former Ming military department Shangshu, the crown prince Taibao, the eldest grandson Huang Peiguan to the Jinyi Wei command of the servant, the commander of the nine gates, the general of Jinwu, and the grandson Huang Zongchang to patrol the imperial history, inspect Huguang.
The upper and lower academies under Shimen Mountain were built by his family, among which there are many victories in the virgin pond and Yishan pond.
After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Pei, the grandson of Huang Jiashan, did not open his eyes, edited the "Hanzhangguan Poetry Collection" in a wide robe, and secretly rebelled against the bandits, and shocked the Kangxi Emperor to issue an order to arrest 14 members of his family and 217 proofreaders and engraving craftsmen. This case involved Gu Yanwu, Song Jicheng and other university scholars, although later the important officials of the court and the central government said from Zhongguan that the officials of Shandong made every effort to maneuver, and the imperial court released most of his family and proposed marriage in Chapter 1o8 of Jinan City
Bleeding to hang Huang Pei, allowing him to return to the burial that is, the ink clears the ditch, but he also killed several members of his family alive, and those engraved and printed books naturally fell to the ground.
After this incident, the descendants of his family were naturally hated by the imperial court, causing great damage to their vitality and hopelessness. Huang Zongchang's son Huang Tan was also dismissed by the imperial court and returned to the field, otherwise if there was his family in Jimo, it would not be the turn of the other four families to speak.
Brother Yao, let's not talk about Laizhou Mansion, that is, looking at the whole of Shandong, people who want to be in-laws with his Huang family have to line up from Laoshan to Jinan Mansion. By chance, who knew that the golden mountain actually had blue eyes on you, and Brother Yao didn't immediately find a matchmaker to mention it? Whether this thing succeeds or not, you should try it, if you let go of such a rich marriage, it will be ruined in the future. ”
Yao Fan's mouth opened in surprise: "Huo! This is really a local tyrant! There have been a series of high-ranking officials in the family, such as the Minister of National Defense, the director of the National Security Bureau, the commander of the Beijing Military Region, and the secretaries of the General Commission for Discipline Inspection of the four provinces in Central and South China......
Let me think...... It seems that this is really the case! That Huang Zongchang repaired the famous "Laoshan Chronicles", the so-called "those who look up to Laoshan in the sea".
His grandson Huang Zhaojaw also repaired the "Laoshan Art and Literature Chronicle", but the language was obscure, and Qiu Qing Huaiming, who was covered by clouds and fog, was so frightened that he did not dare to print it again at home, and he did not dare to publish it until the fifth year of the Republic of China.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Huang family contained a lot of relics in the late Ming Dynasty, these people were all living in seclusion in Laoshan at that time, there were seventy-two gentlemen, and Gu Yanwu and other Confucians were privately linked to each other, no wonder the Qing court did not want to see this family. ”
Yao Fan was indeed a little flattered, and asked Sun Maowen: "How can he, the Huang family, be so rich and powerful, how can he fall in love with me as a rootless maritime merchant?" ”
Liu Ziming hurriedly said: "Brother Yao, don't be arrogant, with your family's huge business, and your newly repaired Zhuangzi, I don't know the one on the boundary of Laizhou?"
Besides, the Huang family doesn't study now, and I see that his uncle Huang Jinshan never writes poetry. Probably because he has suffered from writing, the taboo is too much, and the children and grandchildren of the family do not seek fame, and they only seek to entertain themselves by reading. Therefore, his family's choice of son-in-law does not look at fame. ”
After speaking, he immediately explained: "Brother Yao, you have a good literary talent, you neither seek fame nor do eight shares, and you are probably very close to the Golden Mountain." ”
Yao Fan remembered that the last time he was in Zhoujiazhuang, the poems of Huang Jinshan were also written by his younger brother Huang Jinying.
Wei Guofu laughed heartily and said: "I have never encountered such a good thing, Brother Yao must not miss the opportunity." ”
Sun Maowen nodded and reminded: "Brother Yao went to Jinan once, and was appreciated by Ding Junmen and given a plaque. Now that I have seen Li Zhongtang again, and I have been entrusted with important tasks, it is the time for the young man to achieve his ambition.
Just because Brother Yao got the plaque from Ding Junmen, it is naturally not surprising that the Huang family came to stammer. When Brother Yao went to propose marriage, he just had to tell me about Lord Zhongtang entrusting you to buy warships and aircraft...... Hey, good things can be done! ”
Since Yao Fan made up his mind to rebel, he proposed to his cadres, warriors, and men in Chapter 1o8
's marriage is very important, and he asked Su Sanjie's instructions to the matchmaker that the first to choose a daughter-in-law is to have big feet, and the second is to be born in a farmer's family and be able to work. The first two items fundamentally put an end to the possibility of his subordinates marrying the landlord class. You must know that Yao Fan's men are all ten taels of silver per month! With this income, it is entirely possible that some small and medium-sized landlords will look at it.
Once you form a family with the landlord, even if you marry a distant relative of the landlord, it can be regarded as a sideline, and in this era of attaching great importance to blood and clan relations, it will undoubtedly bring hidden dangers to Yao Fan's early uprising.
Since Yao Fan did not hesitate to interfere with his partner's marriage for this reason, of course he couldn't take the lead in finding a young lady from a big landowner. Of course, historically, the origins of the early founders of China's ** were almost all rich peasants, small landlords and petty bourgeois families, and most of the marriage partners were of the same origin.
But it is absolutely not suitable at the moment, after all, this is a group of people who have not received the enlightenment education of the May Fourth New Culture Movement, and Yao Fan is not at ease by putting these people around his subordinates, and even absorbing them into the team.
Therefore, although Yao Fan felt a little complacent that he could be favored by a famous family like the Huang family, he rejected it at once: "There are many high-ranking officials in the Huang family, and they are too taboo, I dare not touch them." ”
As soon as this sentence was said, Sun Maowen and the three of them stopped persuading, in their opinion, Yao Fan is now keen on stammering Ding Baozhen and Li Hongzhang, and it is normal for him to refuse to touch even a little taboo.
"Alas, it is said that it was all from the time of Kangxi......" Sun Maowen felt a little sorry for Yao Fan.
Liu Ziming twisted the beard on his lips and nodded slightly: "Speaking of which, Brother Yao is neither short of money, nor a lot of land, but also cautious if he has the heart to avoid suspicion." ”
Wei Guofu shook his head again and again, shouting pity.
