"Those two old goods, front and back, no one wants to go, King Xiao wants to ask their family San Lang to marry Ah Ping, King Gao originally wanted to marry Ah Ping for their eleven Lang, but I didn't expect to bump into King Xiao who came to the door one step in advance, the two of them quarreled on the spot in Daxing Palace, if it weren't for the Lord Chen and a daughter, maybe the two of them would have to settle a grudge."

Mu Yanxu obviously has a headache for these two guys who rely on the old and sell the old, but the Mu family is very affectionate, and he really doesn't think that the sons of the two uncles' families are not worthy of Chen Wenrou's daughter, and he is still so sure about these two marriages.

Mu Yanzhao and Gu Wan glanced at each other, and there was a wry smile in their eyes-King Xiao and King Gao wanted to win over their master and uncle.

Lord Chen loves his daughter like his life, and everyone in the whole Dayong knows that if he can really marry Ah Ping and Ah An, he will undoubtedly tie Liu Xiaoyong and Naxiu to his chariot, and who doesn't want the relationship between the two of them?

It can be said that the possibility of Chen Wenrou and Liu Xiaoyong making trouble with Zheng Zheng and the title of the prince of the last country falling on his son can be increased by more than thirty percent, King Xiao and King Gao obviously have the same idea, if only one of the two people asks to marry, maybe the mind is not firm, but both of them ask to marry, it must be done with all their might, otherwise, it is really difficult for one and Liu Xiaoyu Junyang Zhun Yao to find a better daughter-in-law candidate with a higher status than him.

The girls of the family are good, but the in-law relationship of the family is complicated, and it is easy not to put all the strength into this kind of thing involving the change of the throne, nor will they just hang themselves on a tree, in such a family, daughters are consumables that can be sacrificed at any time, but the daughters of Chen Wenrou's family are very different, the two have no sons, and the two daughters will be able to inherit everything from both of them in the future.

Even if it's just for this, even if you don't fight for that position in the end, there are these two people as in-laws. can also have a way out and protect themselves, besides, Ah Ping and Ah An are both carefully cultivated by Chen Wenrou, and among girls of the same age, it can almost be said that no one can be better than the two of them. Just looking at the character, it is a good daughter-in-law.

King Xiao and King Gao thought very well, but their wishful thinking might not work, with Gu Wan's understanding of his uncle and master. Those two weren't going to joke about their daughter's life.

Chen Wenrou was really unhappy.

"My daughter's lifelong events, I don't need to worry about the Lord Banzai, I have my own opinions." Chen Wenrou didn't need Gu Wan to finish speaking. I understood the meaning of my beloved disciples.

Gu Wan immediately shut up, and watched through the window as Ah Ping and Ah An cooperated with each other tacitly, and one person and one whip were thrown on the scarecrow erected in the courtyard, and the scarecrow was immediately dismantled.

The two female masters were extremely proud, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were full of relief.

Gu Wan sighed: Her master should really think about the lifelong events of the two little junior sisters, such a strong girl, if no man dares to marry, how can she get it!

"What kind of face are you putting on? Candidates for the future husbands of your two junior sisters. I knew it a few years ago, so why bother you to worry about it here? ”

Chen Wenrou also knows that her daughter is remembered, she is such a smart woman. No matter what happens, I think of the future, not to mention the life of my daughter, where can I prepare earlier than before? It was Liu Xiaoyin who was four or five years old when he began to look for children of the right age.

One of Liu Xiaoyong's generals is Xiao Shi of the Zheng family's fourth room, and the other is the Xue family's San Lang, who is the youngest son of Xue Ying's uncle.

Gu Wan went through the situation of these two families in her mind, and she couldn't help but admit that her master chose a good candidate, these two children knew the roots, and the environmental conditions at home were clear at a glance, as long as the Zheng family had Chen Wenrou, they would never dare to treat Ah Ping badly, and the Xue family had a simple population, and everyone in the family belonged to the type with a bold temperament, which was suitable for Ah An, who couldn't finish the fight.

Chen Wenrou and Liu Xiao's mu are very fast, and within half a month, the two families made a marriage contract, although King Xiao and King Gao were not satisfied, but neither of them took advantage of it, so they could only give up.

What's more, they didn't want to offend Liu Xiaoyong at this time, not only did they not show displeasure, but they also sent congratulatory gifts.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier.

In the past year, there have been some changes in the court, and there has been a surging trend, and many families seem to have joined forces to stumble on those poor scholars, and some people are clamoring for the imperial examination, wanting to abolish the imperial examination, restore the ancient system, and elect officials for virtue.

Gu Wan occasionally heard a few words, and felt that these people were worthy of being from a big family, and when it came to theories, they were talking about one set of theories, and the slogans were quite loud, no worse than those of later generations.

The fuse of this is still a woman.

Five years ago, Chen Liu, the daughter of the Chen family, was married to a son of a poor family by the Chen family. This person's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Pu, he was born in the imperial examination, or the first place in the second class, he is outstanding in learning, his appearance is good, it is rare and very hard, and he is said to have done nothing less. After he passed the exam, he was sent to Qizhou as an official and a county commander.

There is an old man from the Qizhou squire, seeing that he is a good learner, dignified, and has not married a wife, so he started to be a matchmaker and protect the daughter of him and the Chen family.

The Chen family is also a big family in Qizhou, there are many sons in the family, only one daughter, and they love their daughter very much, and they see that the population of this person's family is simple, and there are not so many rules as the family, thinking that their daughter will definitely be able to live well when she marries, and their family does not need to rely on their daughter to marry, so they agreed to the marriage.

At that time, when Chen Liu got married, it was indeed ten miles of red makeup, not only married the Tianshan house, but also accompanied five prosperous shops.

But later Chen Liu found that Wang Pu gradually changed, not only became greedy and lustful, accepted a group of concubines in a row, but also became more and more frivolous in being an official, from a cautious person to a arrogant idiot, what corruption and bribery, what kind of lawsuits, messy things dare to do, but he still can't listen to persuasion, if Chen Liu says a few more words, he will turn his face and leave.

Chen Liu is the daughter of the Chen family, and her knowledge is no worse than that of a man, when she saw Wang Pu like this, she persuaded her not to move, so she was cold at that time, and went home to tell her parents and brother, and her parents were furious, so they directly asked their daughter to go home with the dowry and go to the Wang clan to ask for peace.

The Wang family was naturally unwilling, the two families disagreed, and they fought, and the Chen family was even more angry, so they sent someone to snatch their daughter home, but the Wang family still did not give up, and entangled people to the Chen family to make a fuss.

At that time, it was just in time for the flood in Qizhou, and this Wang Pu was not good at controlling the water, and he also colluded with the descendants of the Hou family of Qi Dong, and did a lot of shady deeds.

The Chen family saw that Qi Donghou was unlucky, and simply poked out all the messy things that Wang Pu had done, but as a result, he was careless, and the trouble was big, and Yushi directly impeached Wang Pu in the court.

Wang Pu has nothing to say, naturally he is in prison, and he will be sentenced how he should be sentenced, but this matter did not stop there, and the family took this as an example to summarize the various shortcomings of the imperial examination system, such as only relying on talent to select people, and many officials selected are not of good moral character, and they can't do big things.

This matter is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are discussing, and the big families are demanding the abolition of the imperial examination and the restoration of the ancient system, and the officials from the poor families are naturally not happy, and they also cite examples of the corpses of the officials of the big families in the court.

As early as a few years ago, the Mu Yanxu brothers adopted a silent way to weaken the privileges of the family step by step, such as the increase in the scale of the imperial examination, the review of identity was slightly relaxed, as long as there is a guarantor, no longer requires the innocence of the five generations, etc., they are slaves who have left their nationality, and they can also participate in the imperial examination, and in recent years, all those who worship the prime minister are from the imperial examination, and the number of officials has decreased, and the status has become much lower......

For this reason, the family has long been dissatisfied, and sooner or later something will happen, so Mu Yanxu has long been mentally prepared for this dispute, and he is not flustered, nor is he in a hurry to suppress it.

Mu Yanzhao also felt that it was indeed time to fight, and the Hanmen and the family must fight to achieve a balance, otherwise if such a contradiction breaks out at a critical juncture, I am afraid that it will be a bad thing.

This controversy has been boiling in the court for more than half a month, and the big families have thrown out a lot of black materials of the children of the poor families, and those officials from the poor families have also thrown out a lot of dirty things about the officials of the big families.

It is not possible to say who takes advantage of the two, but only that they are evenly matched.

Over the years, Mu Yanxu and his family have consciously promoted the children of the Han family to enrich the court, and there are some officials from a slight background in the court, but they are far from being comparable to the big families, and they are naturally inferior in power.

However, the children of the poor family are generally alone officials, and there is not much involvement behind them, unlike the big family, the family has a big business, and there are a lot of relatives and friends, no matter which official is the child of the family, it is inevitable to use the power at hand to seek the welfare of their relatives, not to mention that there are many people, even if most of them are good, there are inevitably some people who are doing nonsense outside in the name of the master, this kind of thing, I can't manage it, as long as someone wants to catch it, there are a lot of pigtails.

The two groups of people fought for a long time, and suddenly found that they had done great harm to each other, and in just this half month, I don't know how many officials have been dismissed from office, and this kind of behavior of killing a thousand enemies and harming eight hundred people on both sides is unwilling to do it again, so it gradually subsided.

At this time, Mu Yanxu made a move, slightly corrected the way of taking scholars in the imperial examination, and set an assessment period, after taking the imperial examination, when studying in Guozixue, he had to go through the assessment, eliminate a batch of unqualified ones, and pass the customs before he could become an official, and after becoming an official, he would also have to be assessed every six months, and if there was any problem, he would be dismissed immediately, etc.
