Chapter 83: Pros and Cons

Marriage is a very strict thing, not to mention that Zheng Xunrui is the township test to solve Yuanlang, to say that after being dismissed from the marriage, Zheng Xunrui's reputation has been reduced to the lowest and has become the object of ridicule in Guli Town, but only more than two years have passed, and there is no girl in the entire Guli Town that the Zheng family can look at, and the change is too great.

Zheng matchmaker facilitated this marriage, which is also very important for her own reputation, and she facilitated the marriage for Xie Yuanlang, which will become her golden signboard, and will be more popular in the future, don't underestimate the matchmaker, the income is very high, and it is more than enough for the family to live a rich life.

Just over a day later, the news that Zheng Xunrui was about to rush to Suzhou to Nacai spread.

The Zheng family has already begun to prepare.

According to the previous rules, Zheng Xunrui's marriage cannot be so urgent, it will take at least half a year or so before it is possible to settle all the things, but now the situation is not special, when Zheng Matchmaker came to the door for the third time, the mountain sound of the chest beating, said that there was absolutely no problem, and also provided the girl's birthday eight characters, this kind of ceremony to ask the name to the front, indicating that the woman's family completely agreed with the marriage, just waiting for the attitude of the man's family, since both families have no opinion, Then the marriage can naturally be decided in the shortest possible time.

Who doesn't know that after the beginning of the year, Zheng Xunrui will rush to the capital to participate in the conference examination and the palace examination.

The requirements of marriage are not only the right match, but also the appearance of men and women, Zheng Xunrui's talent is not said, what the woman's appearance is, only God knows.

On the tenth day of November, all the gifts of Nacai are ready, except for some symbolic ones such as geese and goose feathers, most of which are gold, and now this Nacai is like a bride price for later generations, and the neighbors on all sides are staring at their eyes, whose bride price is more, that is, they have found a good son-in-law, who is envied by everyone.

Zheng Xunrui was supposed to wear new clothes and sit in the carriage, so that when he arrived in Suzhou, at least the clothes on his body were still new, so that the woman's parents saw it, and the impression was at least better, but he was not in such a good mood, but no matter how much, he must have ridden over, and this Zheng matchmaker should also go to Suzhou Mansion with the team, but Zheng matchmaker seemed to be in a hurry, and after learning the exact time of Zheng Xunrui's departure, she had already set off a day in advance, saying that it was not to delay time on the road. This inevitably made Zheng Xunrui feel strange.

The distance between the two parties to the marriage is so far away, such a situation is rare, at least in the town of Guli almost never happens, fourteen and fifteen-year-old boys, twelve to thirteen-year-old girls, generally began to have matchmakers come to the door, fast at most half a year marriage will be decided, a little longer is within two years.

The scholar family and the squire family are almost all like this, and the common people are more casual among themselves, and the time is not necessarily so early, but one thing is the same, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, if you want to fall in love freely, it will be regarded as immoral and unrecognizable, and it will not be recognized by the mainstream society.

This time he went to Suzhou, except for Zheng Xunrui, the protagonist, who was Zheng Fugui.

Zheng Fugui has the experience of traveling from south to north, and he also knows what preparations need to be made along the way.

Zheng Jinhong originally didn't go, not long after he got married, but Yuhuan took the initiative to ask Zheng Jinhong to follow, Zheng Fugui and Zheng Xunrui did not agree, Yuhuan found Ma's, and finally let Zheng Jinhong follow, in view of Zheng Jinhong's experience, the gold collected this time was directly kept by him.

Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui, Hong Xinyu and others must have followed, in addition to more than ten nurses, a total of 20 people, such a team is not worried about any danger.

It's already a winter month, the climate is very cold, five hundred miles, not far or close, it's nothing for a well-trained nursing home, hurry up, at most two days, Zheng Xunrui can also eat, the only thing is that Zheng Fugui is a little unbearable, after all, he is about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and young people can't be compared.

When he set off, Zheng Fugui asked Zheng Xunrui and most of the nursing homes to speed up, and if they arrived early, they would find an inn outside Suzhou Fucheng to wait, so as not to delay time on the road, after all, the climate was cold.

Zheng Xunrui was not polite, and took Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu and other five people, and quickly whipped towards Suzhou Fucheng, as for Zheng Jinhong and the rest of the nursing homes, following Zheng Fugui, according to the schedule, it will take about three to four days for them to arrive in Suzhou Fucheng, and the Zheng matchmaker in front of them set off a day in advance, and everyone happened to meet outside Suzhou Fucheng.

On the night of the 11th, Zheng Xunrui and his entourage arrived outside the city of Suzhou.

Five hundred miles in two days, it is indeed nothing, the group of six people seems to be very relaxed, Hong Xintao and the others are not surprised for a long time, they know that the young master can be literate and martial, and his horseback riding skills are also extraordinary.

After a night's rest, Zheng Xunrui slept soundly, as if he had forgotten that he had come to Suzhou Mansion to do something.

When he woke up early in the morning and walked out of the inn, he saw the young man in front of the inn, Zheng Xunrui was dumbfounded.

"Brother Huaidou, where did you come from?"

"Hehe, surprised, Wu County is only more than fifty miles away from Suzhou Fucheng, this distance, it's easy to come over."

Zheng Xunrui still didn't come back to his senses.

"It's weird, I just set off from home the day before yesterday, how did you know that I came to Suzhou."

"Dignified Xie Yuanlang, marrying the granddaughter of Lord Wen, such a big thing, I just don't know it, good brother Such a big happy event, do you think I can't come."

Yang Tingshu's answer made Zheng Xunrui even more surprised, it was just a collection ceremony, how to make Yang Tingshu know, and the time for the matter to be settled was not long, less than ten days before and after, but the first time Zheng Matchmaker came to the house to talk about the matchmaker was a little long, and she mentioned this matter in early October.

Zheng Xunrui, who shook his head, showed a wry smile on his face.

"Suzhou is really a place for outstanding people, it's a big deal, Brother Huaidou actually knows it in Wu County."

Seeing Zheng Xunrui's expression, Yang Tingshu laughed.

"Qingyang, don't complain, I was the same as you, and suddenly the marriage was decided, and I also felt uncomfortable, I think this is a scholar's fault, but you do have something to be proud of, your writing is so outstanding, and it is normal for the township to have some complaints about the marriage event."

Zheng Xunrui quickly tasted other flavors from Yang Tingshu's words.

The two of them walked slowly towards the front.

"Lord Wen is the champion of the palace test, this family business, I think it is high, and the granddaughter of Lord Wen is said to be very good, how can you look down on me."

Zheng Xunrui was not polite, straight to the point, he also knew that Yang Tingshu would not come for no reason.

Yang Tingshu nodded again and again with a smile on his face.

"Qingyang, even if you still have self-knowledge, I'm not hitting you, think about Miss Wen, she is also quite famous in Suzhou Fucheng, you say it's strange, Master Wen is knowledgeable, he is the champion of the palace examination, and he is also the pride of Suzhou, but the sons of adults are not good at reading, so far they are all prisoners' fame, and the identity of the person has not been admitted, but this Wen girl, it is said that her knowledge is not ordinary, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Zheng Xunrui rolled his eyes, a thirteen-year-old girl, how powerful can she be, even if she starts learning from her mother's womb, it is impossible to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is just a rumor.

"Qingyang, I know you're not convinced, but you have to know that Master Wen has been at home for a few years, carefully tutoring Miss Wen, it is said that Miss Wen is smart and has won the favor of Lord Wen, and once said that if Miss Wen is a man, she must surpass his knowledge, and if you can make Lord Wen say this, how can Miss Wen not be powerful."

"Forget it, it's all useless things, no matter how powerful Miss Wen is, can she go to the imperial examination......"

Speaking of which, Zheng Xunrui's heart suddenly appeared in the opera "The Female Concubine", which made him hurry up and stop his mouth, he didn't want to have such an encounter, if he really encountered a big disaster, he couldn't expect Miss Wen to save him.

"Qingyang, I think it's a good thing for you to marry Miss Wen, don't stare at me, listen to me, I shouldn't have talked too much about this marriage event, but I have to say that Qin Huaihe's cutting of robes and righteousness has caused a lot of repercussions among Suzhou readers, some say that Zhang Pu is theirs, and some defend them, thinking that you are too arrogant, you also know that those people in the Fushe and Yingshe are not necessarily all righteous scholars, but this time you married Miss Wen, which is a huge blow to Zhang Pu and others, You must know that Miss Wen also has a very good influence among the scholars in Suzhou......"

Zheng Xunrui had a strange smile on his face.

"Brother Huaidou, do you mean that I married Miss Wen, so that many scholars in Suzhou will shut up, and I think that the problem is still with Zhang Pu and others, is that what you mean?"

"There is this meaning, but the more important thing is that your reputation will be greater, Qingyang, it's not that I'm worried, although Zhang Pu and others have not yet entered the government, but the power is very strong, even the government should not be underestimated, you and I have cut off their robes and broken righteousness, and we will always meet in the future, it really comes to the point of meeting each other, there is not enough strength, isn't it always suppressed."

In Zheng Xunrui's mind, a word popped up again, political marriage, Wen Zhenmeng is an official in the court, although the grade is not very high, but he is by the emperor's side every day, and the impact is not small, plus Yang Tingshu also said just now, Wen Zhenmeng is very doting on his granddaughter, loves the house and Wu, and naturally looks at him differently as his grandson-in-law.

"Brother Huaidou, thank you for reminding me, I kind of understand, it seems that I really need to attach great importance to this time when I come to Suzhou Mansion."
