The fourth lady's surname is Cui, and she is the musician of that day. She once went to the literati gathering place to inspect her future husband behind her family's back as a scholar and a famous singer, and she was bound to find a man who was a talented and beautiful match for her.

The folk customs of this dynasty are more open than those of the previous dynasty, and women also go to the streets to do business, and aristocratic women who ride horses and parade with veils covering their faces can be seen everywhere.

Cui Siniang doesn't want to be like the sisters above, only focusing on the door, but not on the quality of that person.

Mrs. Cui couldn't control this clever little daughter, so she turned a blind eye and followed her, as long as she didn't get into unnecessary trouble by not being discovered.

When Cui Siniang heard the news of Pan Jing High School from the maidservant, she was infinitely happy in her heart. The words behind the servant made her worry again, if this talented Pan Gongzi had a wife, wouldn't her wish be disappointed.

Pan Jing was complimented by the students who failed the list, and he continued to socialize outside every day, and when he returned to the house, he fell asleep, and he couldn't muster up the energy to read again.

The family also gave him some silver for two days, so that he could spend it freely without restraint. Lord Futai handed a repair letter to Qin Shilang, asking him to take care of his prospective son-in-law. The two used to be classmates and friends, and they have never met again since He Shilang was demoted to the mansion.

Three days after the end of the examination, Pan Jing finally had leisure, and was dragged by Qin Shilang to take the school examination, and instructed some rules and taboos for the palace examination. Pan Jing wrote them down one by one.

Relying on Qin Shilang's small stove, Pan Jing played a long time on the day of the palace test, won the first place in the palace test, and was appointed by His Majesty as the champion, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Pan Jing rode a tall horse through the crowd, and many girls threw flowers and purses into his arms, and he was sometimes smashed all over his face.

Cui Siniang was hidden in the teahouse, watching the handsome champion Lang playing horses and parading the streets, her heart was full of expectations, and when she walked in front of her, she turned around and went back to the house to talk to her mother about the candidate she liked.

"Mother, my daughter has someone she likes, and she wants her father to talk to her mother."

Mrs. Cui put down the account book in her hand and asked curiously if it was the son of the family.

"The new champion, Pan Jing." Cui Siniang replied.

Cui's mother is handling housework in the house, and she has also heard what the champion Yuanlang is like who has been in the limelight recently. I heard that he is a rare handsome person, and he is brilliantly written, I don't know how many people in Beijing want to take him as their son-in-law.

Cui's mother asked: "In this way, I am afraid that the east bed is fast, and all families are fighting for their heads." ”

Cui Siniangzi urged, "That's why I came back to discuss with my mother, and the official media will go to his house as soon as possible to find out the news." ”

"In this matter, my mother can't be the master alone, you have to come back from your father, and you are not allowed to come nonsense." Cui's mother forbidden.

Something similar happened in other provinces.

Pan Jing returned to the inn yesterday, and got up early this morning with people from all walks of life to visit, most of whom were matchmakers with portraits of their daughters for him to choose.

Pan Jing all excused himself and said that he had already decided on a family affair, and it was not easy to return his relatives and rebook, and the matchmaker shook her head and left with a sigh.

He was ready to wait for the letter of appointment from the ministry, and then he went home and set off for his post as soon as the marriage was completed. Although Kyoto is good, it is not as close to the feng shui as its hometown.

On the spot of the palace examination, Pan Jing had been appointed as the magistrate of a small remote county in Lingnan, and he was appointed three months later.

Cui Siniang didn't wait for her good news, but heard the news that Pan Jing was leaving. Immediately couldn't sit still, and went to the study to beg his father.

Cui Shangshu listened to his daughter's words and could only feel sorry for her. Pan Jing's outstanding performance in the palace examination that day, he was the secretary of the ministry who saw the whole process. And he knows the facts well, and although the methods he comes up with are immature, they are also feasible.

"He already has a fiancée, what's the use of you asking for more?"

The matchmaker was only engaged to Pan Jing, but she did not get married, and she made her own tirade. For example, the current matchmaker wearing a big red flower is persuading him endlessly: "Champion Yuan, the water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place." With a strong in-laws behind you, you are also like a fish in water in officialdom. The one I introduced to you today is the daughter of a squire, and if you marry her, you will not be separated from the sky in one step. ”

The matchmaker took out the picture scroll and unfolded it to show him, "Look, this little lady is good-looking, and her literary talent is even better than that one." Childe, consider taking a look! ”

"No need, Matchmaker. Today, I, Pan Jing, are here to make a sentence, my wife is only the daughter of Futai. When the husband is alive, he should be consistent in his words and deeds, and do what he says. Please go back and tell the families that Pan Jing already has a heart, and she can't bear the love of the adults and the little ladies, and she is a little ashamed. Pan Jing bowed deeply to the matchmaker.

The flower matchmaker knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she left Pan Jing's collapsed inn in a daze.

"I said, Brother Pan, your good fortune is not shallow. How? If you don't pick one, your vision will be high. As soon as Gao Huaiyuan saw off his friend, he turned around and saw Pan Jing's door wide open, and a matchmaker twisted her body out from inside.

Pan Jing was bored, and he had to smile bitterly when he heard his words, "What did Brother Huaiyuan say, my brother has already decided to marry, how can I do that thing of remarrying." It's just that these mothers don't care how I explain it, which makes my brother so distressed, and Brother Huaiyuan still comes to make fun of it. ”

Gao Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows, "According to what you said, this Yanfu is not Yanfu, but troubles." Why don't I have your good fortune, there is a matchmaker to say kiss. "In the palace examination, his talent was limited, and he didn't play well, but he just achieved a ranking that was not up or down.

Pan Jing invited Gao Huaiyuan into the house, served another cup of tea, and then replied, "It's just right, this room is blessed, so I bother the son to change rooms with me, and Jing is grateful here." ”

Gao Huaiyuan took the tea, took a sip of it, put down the teacup, and looked around at the simple room, which was different from his luxurious and extravagant room, which was full of the aroma of ink that a reader should have.

"It's okay, let your suffering be borne by your brother, you just have to study hard."

"Thank you, brother, I'll call the scholar to come and clean up." Pan Jing called the scholar next to him who was sorting out the books to pack his luggage and move to Gao Huaiyuan's room today.

The two changed rooms, and no one else knew anything except for those close to them. The matchmaker who came to the door knocked on the door of Pan Jing's previous room familiarly, but the person who came out became another son with warm eyebrows.

But Gao Huaiyuan was very happy, and when he saw that the matchmaker was leaving, someone stopped her, said something and suppressed the matchmaker, so that she couldn't go, and if she didn't go, she completely let the matchmaker follow his train of thought. During this period, he quietly sold himself to others, and successfully sold it, and settled on a family business.

It was the matchmaker who saw that although he was not as famous as Pan Jing, he was also a handsome son, and his talent was on par with Pan Jing. After inquiring, I learned that the two were friends, and the woman's family chose him as the second best.

Cui's mother invited the flower matchmaker to sit in the house, and the flower matchmaker poured bitter water on Cui's mother since she sat down, "Madam, there are six families who have come to me to say kiss before and after, and all of them have taken a fancy to Pan Sheng's talent. That Pan Sheng has been engaged at home, and he refuses to withdraw his relatives and rebook, I persuaded him for a few days and did not persuade him, and on the woman's side, I also told them that people have fiancées and don't want to quit, so it is better not to choose other students who have won the Jinshi.

I didn't listen to both sides, I was sandwiched in the middle, persuading this in the morning, persuading that that in the afternoon, a pair of legs were about to run away, and the words were all said, and I didn't say a single one, and my throat was still painful. ”
