Ding Lianjin seems to be a big man, but he is actually an extremely careful person. He saw Duan Chen chasing Zhao Ruxi, so he deliberately slowed down, so that Duan Chen and Zhao Ruxi had space to talk, and although he was talking and laughing with others, his eyes were always paying attention to the group in front of him.

At this time, seeing Zhao Ruxi stop and leave after saying a few words to Duan Chen, Duan Chen stood there alone, he hurried up a few steps, patted Duan Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Duan, we are discussing going to Taibai Building, what do you think of that place?" ”

Duan Chen was rejected, his mood was down, where was he still in the mood to drink?

He shook his head and reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Ding Lianjin: "No." I just rode a horse and had a bit of a headache and wanted to go back and rest. You explain it to everyone for me. ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly in a different direction from Zhao Ruxi.

In addition to Ding Lianjin, who was paying attention to Zhao Ruxi and Duan Chen's movements, there was also Lu Shan, who had also sent a message to Zhao Ruxi.

As an unmarried person, Lu Shanchu also has the same thoughts about Zhao Ruxi as Duan Chen.

It's just that Duan Chen simply admires Zhao Ruxi's talent, but Lu Shanchu values Zhao Ruxi's background and connections more.

Lu Shan's background is worse than Duan Chen's, and his family is farther away from the capital, in the Lingnan area. Compared with the situation that Duan Chen has an uncle who is an official in the capital, Lu Shan can be said to have no relatives in the capital.

And he has not decided on a marriage until he is seventeen years old, whether it is at home or himself, he plans to wait for him to find a family in the capital after he is admitted to the Jinshi, so as to get some help from officialdom connections. Otherwise, no matter how talented and capable he is, he will be inferior to other people with background, whether it is the initial official or the later promotion.

He was ambitious when he was young, and he was naturally arrogant, feeling that he was a pillar of talent, and it would not be a problem to be crowned a marquis in the future. What he lacks is the connections and foundation of the capital.

Zhao Zhiwei's eldest brother is the secretary of the ministry, which is the best connection. Even if Zhao Zhiwei has no talent and ugly appearance, Lu Shan will consider it, not to mention that Zhao Zhiwei is so dazzling in both appearance and talent.

Therefore, since inquiring about Zhao Ruxi's background, he has the intention of asking for marriage.

But he also has self-knowledge.

Yesterday, he found out that Duan Chen had sent a message to Zhao Zhiwei, and it could be seen from Duan Chen's performance just now that he obviously had unusual thoughts about Zhao Zhiwei. It's just that Zhao Zhiwei didn't mean that to Duan Chen.

Thinking that his ranking is not as high as Duan Chen, his family background is not as good as him, and his appearance is not as good as others, Zhao Zhiwei was even colder to him than Duan Chen at the Qionglin banquet just now, and Lu Shan was discouraged.

If she is entangled again, Zhao Zhiwei will be annoyed and let her senior brother use means in sending officials, and it will be more than worth the loss.

Thinking of this, he didn't come forward to speak.

He has heard that some people will catch their sons-in-law.

Zhao Zhiwei can't look down on him, so naturally someone will take a fancy to him.

"Brother Duan has a cold and a headache, let me say sorry to everyone, and I will get together with you another day." Ding Lianjin said to everyone, "Then let's get together." Let's go, go to Taibai Building. ”

A few people walked out, walked to the outside of the square, and were about to look for their sedan chair and subordinates, or walk back to their residence directly, when they saw a group of people surrounding Duan Chen, who left before them, and shouted: "Duan Gongzi, I am the housekeeper of Lord Peng's house in the Hanlin Academy, and my lord invites you to be a guest at home." ”

"Duan Gongzi, I am the housekeeper of Lord Li's family in Taichang Temple, and my lord wants to invite you to his house as a guest."

“……”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then looked at each other.

One of them pointed to the men and stammered, "Is this ...... Catch a son-in-law under the list? ”

"Not really." The other was full of envy, "No matter which family you marry, this can be regarded as having a foundation in Beijing." In the future, even if the officials are sent abroad, there is anything to ask the Yue family to go through the relationship and dredge up, which is much better than those of us who have black eyes. ”

Everyone nodded.

They can't help it. Now they are all thirty or forty years old, and they have only just passed the Jinshi examination, so they can't delay until this time to get married, right? What if you don't pass the test?

In addition, they have been able to get to this point more or less thanks to the help of the Yue family.

Therefore, looking at the scene in front of them, they can only envy.

became famous at a young age, and it really has a bright future.

Someone thought of Lu Shan, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi hasn't married yet, right?" If these people knew you were here, they would have come up and haunt you. ”

Another person seemed to be moved when he saw Lu Shan, and immediately pushed him: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

By this time, someone had already noticed their group.

These people are all wearing Jinshi official uniforms, and it is difficult not to pay attention.

Lu Shanchu was extremely young in this group, and when someone pushed him out, these people immediately recognized who he was, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lu Gongzi, below is the housekeeper of the Wailang family, a member of the Ministry of Rites......"

As soon as those who were pestering Duan Chen but couldn't squeeze in, they hurriedly changed their direction and came towards Lu Shan.

Anyway, the old lady and the old man in the family have said that whether it is Duan Chen or Lu Shan, they are excellent candidates for son-in-law, as long as one of them goes back and becomes a parent, they will have a rich reward.

There are many young ladies in the family, so pick one out to marry them. When they soared and became high-ranking officials, their families also benefited, which was a very cost-effective deal.

These people swarmed and squeezed Ding Lianjin and several others outside.

Ding Lianjin was also startled, for fear of being affected, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

They are married, and if they are indiscriminately married, the backyard of the house will inevitably catch fire.

Seeing that Duan Chen didn't cooperate, his hat was torn crookedly, and his clothes were almost torn, and the same was true at Lu Shan, one of them suddenly remembered Zhao Ruxi and said, "I don't know if Miss Zhao Zhiwei is a veed." If not, according to a shallow opinion, Duan Gongzi and Lu Gongzi might as well marry her. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They are all in the top 10 on the list, and they all inquire about the backgrounds of the same top 10 people, so as to determine who can be handpicked as the champion and who is the most promising, so that they can make friends in advance and burn a cold stove.

Among them, Zhao Zhiwei has always been the person they want to make friends but can't.

Among the two people who were competing for each other over there, Lu Shanchu was actually very excited about these people.

But he is not stupid, he knows that it is probably not a good family to run here to catch his son-in-law.

Either there is no background capital in the family, or the girl has more or less various problems, either her mother is not from a good background, or she is not favored, or she has something wrong with herself.
