23. Marriage
Thinking of this, Yan Shangshu looked at the surnamed Ma fixedly, and said hatefully, "Master Ma, you won't bother with the affairs of my family's Ziheng, send off guests!" ”
Three days later, Yan Ziheng was dragged on a blind date.
Well, other people's parents look at him, and the girls will hide behind the screen to look at him.
"Ziheng, the sixteenth of this month is an auspicious time, and when the time comes, my father will invite a matchmaker to marry you and the little granddaughter of the Li Yushi family."
Yan Ziheng knelt down with a pout, "Father, son... The son has a sweetheart. ”
Yan Shangshu's face turned cold, and he said, "What kind of sweetheart, you call it private giving and receiving, without the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, you are nothing!" Come! Lock up the young master and don't let him come out without my orders. ”
"Yes, sir." Several subordinates dragged Yan Ziheng down.
No matter how Yan Ziheng struggled, he couldn't change the result.
"Father! Father! As Yan Ziheng's figure faded away, the voice gradually disappeared.
Yan Shangshu sighed, "Son, don't blame your father, it's also for your good to be your father." ”
In the confinement room, Yan Ziheng was carefully searching against the wall, "I will definitely be able to find it, I will definitely be able to escape!" If you listen closely, you can hear him muttering.
"Squeak!"
Yan Zihenghuo turned around and was about to rush out.
But the guards at the door were strictly guarded, how could he, a weak scholar, escape.
In the end, it was still the result of being pressed back.
"Let me out, let me out!"
"Young master, you better stop, there is only one door here, there will be at least two people guarding it every day, you can't escape, oh, this is what the master asked the slave to bring to you, there is food for you, you stop it, the slave is also good to deal with." The little guy put down his things and withdrew.
Yan Ziheng looked at the things in front of him with a blank expression.
So, no matter how clever you are, I will do everything I can to reduce it by ten.
So without power, can you only be at the mercy of others?
Thank you, father, for this lesson for your son.
Yan Ziheng suppressed the impatience in his heart and calmly packed up his things.
Engagement! With a daughter I don't know.
He didn't know what else he could do, he only knew that from this moment on, Yan Ziheng in the past would no longer exist.
Father, since you want your son to be born for power in the future, then in the future, the son will only have power in his eyes.
It was dark, and it was even darker in the confinement room.
If you don't look closely, you won't see a person sitting in the corner.
Suddenly, the man in the corner moved, breaking the silence in the darkness.
"The sound of rain." Yan Ziheng raised his voice and shouted.
A clever guy outside immediately responded, "Hey, young master, what do you command, just say it, the master has ordered, as long as you don't come out, it's up to you." ”
Yan Ziheng said in a low voice, "Go and tell my father, just say that I have figured it out and won't make trouble." ”
Yusheng was stunned and said, "Hey, you wait, I'll go." ”
There was still the dim lamp in the study, and Yan Shangshu was reading at the desk.
The sound of rain knocked on the door and entered.
"Master, the young master called the slave to pass the word."
Yan Shangshu asked with a pale face, "What words?" ”
Yusheng whispered Yan Ziheng's words and repeated them as they were.
Yan Shangshu had a smile on his face, "It's good to figure it out, bring the young master over." ”
When Yan Ziheng came in, Yan Shangshu was sitting there drinking tea in a good mood.
Yan Ziheng bowed to him, and said in a flat voice, "Father, my son knows that he is wrong. ”
The expression on Yan Shangshu's face relaxed, and he said softly, "It's good to know that it's wrong, the princess is not a good choice, with your ability, you will definitely go farther in the officialdom than your father in the future." ”
Yes, if you are still the master, you can't go far in the officialdom, so all this is doomed from the beginning.
"Father, my son has a reluctant request." Although it was destined for a long time, Yan Ziheng still wanted to go in person......
Yan Shangshu's face was a little strange, "Let's talk about it." ”
"After the son wants to get married, he personally escorts a batch of grain and grass to Jinzhong." Yan Ziheng's voice was not emotional.
Yan Shangshu sighed, in the end, it was his own son, and he had already promised himself, "That's it, let's go." ”
……
Yan Ziheng went back to the room, took out all the books he had exchanged with Lin Xuan before, packed them up one by one, and took out a box from the secret compartment next to the desk.
He looked at the box with a complicated mood, sighed, and gently pressed a button, and the box popped open.
Inside was an earring.
It was the earring that Lin Xuan had lost before.
How can it be just a few pearls in the ears.
Yan Ziheng took it in his hand and rubbed it lightly twice, before carefully putting it back into the box and locking it in the dark compartment.
Half a month later, March 16.
Yan Shangshu dragged the matchmaker and went to exchange the name card with the granddaughter of Li Yushi's family, which can be regarded as a formal marriage contract.
And Yan Ziheng also arrived at the gate of the capital and went to Jinzhong with the soldiers who escorted the grain.
At this time, Lin Xuan didn't know that the Ruyi Langjun she was optimistic about had already had a marriage contract with someone else.
I didn't know that Yan Ziheng was following the convoy and planning to come over to share it with her.
Of course, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't do anything.
Now it is more important how to settle the cities that have just been recaptured.
Almost all the officials in the city were killed when the Turks came.
Those who didn't die also abandoned the city and fled, such a person, not to mention others, would never be reappointed by Lin Xuan.
But a city needs an extremely large number of officials, and Lin Xuan really didn't know where to find these people for a while.
"Dashuai." Fang Wei came in from outside.
Lin Xuan glanced up at him and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Fang Wei whispered, "When the last general just went out, I heard others discussing Mr. Gongsun, saying that this gentleman is extremely talented, and the key is that there are many students. ”
Fang Wei also knew what Lin Xuan had been worried about in the past few days, so he deliberately paid attention to it.
In fact, it was not Lin Xuan's responsibility to appoint officials, although Emperor Longqing said that she should have full authority to deal with it, but she didn't know what would happen in the future, so she didn't really want to reach out so much.
However, there are no officials, and the affairs of several cities have piled up, and Lin Xuan has not even had time to practice the sword technique on weekdays in the past few days.
"Mr. Gongsun? Find someone to call him over. Lin Xuan lowered his head and said.
Fang Wei was about to leave, but Lin Xuan suddenly said again, "Forget it, since you are a talented person, I should go there myself." "Even if this man is not as talented as others say, doesn't he still have some old apprentices?
It's better than Lin Xuan carrying things down by himself.
Moreover, since she already plans to meddle in the appointment of officials, she must at least call the person she appoints to be in her heart.
When the time comes...... If something happens, at least this section from Yinshan to Jinzhong, or even to Jincheng, will be Lin Xuan's retreat.
