Chapter 197: The Betrothal Book
(Cat flutter Chinese ) Yu Shengshi followed the steward of Yao Mansion to the gate of the mansion, walked all the way in small steps, walked to the east and shot many places, entered the courtyard of the outer study room where Yao Xianggong saw people handling official business, the inverted seats on both sides of the courtyard gate were full of Beijing officials and foreign officials waiting to be seen, seeing someone come in, almost all turned his head to look at the person who came in, the steward turned a blind eye, Yu Shengshi had never been so eye-catching, he was uncomfortable to be seen, and his hands and feet did not know where to put it. Please use this site to access.
The steward's small steps didn't even mean to slow down, the little guy standing under the corridor bowed slightly in turn to let the two in, I don't know how long I waited between the seats, and I don't know if I can see Yao Xianggong today The officials looked at Yu Shengshi who was following the steward with envy, Yu Sheng was uncomfortable, but there was an indescribable pride in his heart, and in the corner of his eye, he saw that his Shangguan's horse face was sandwiched in that envious face, and he stared at himself with astonishment and envy, That smugness seeped into countless joys, and I couldn't help but straighten my waist.
Turning into the weeping flower gate, the courtyard was obviously quiet and serious, and the little guy under the corridor was still the same green coat and hat, but saw the two of them no longer bowing down, but looking at the nose and nose, and standing straight. Yu Shengshi's pride and happiness in his heart were rushed to Java by this seriousness, and then he remembered that he was forced to come over by this steward, saying that Yao Xianggong was looking for something important for him, but he had never had anything to do with Yao Xiang, what was the important matter? Yu Shengshi's heart rose up again.
The steward reported, stepped into the house first, lifted the curtain and let Yu Shengshi in. Yu Shengshi cautiously entered the house, wanting to look up but didn't dare, his nervous eyes were a little flowery.
"Da Lang is here, please take a seat." The voice from the top was easy-going and polite, and Yu Shengshi's heart suddenly calmed down, Yu Shengshi looked up boldly, and saw Yao Xianggong wearing a purple robe, smiling and motioning him to sit, and on the lower chair on the left sat a man in his fifties, dressed as a Confucian scholar, shaking an old folding fan in his hand, looking even more amiable.
Yu Shengshi rushed to the head of Yao Xianggong to greet the salute, Yao Xianggong pointed to Confucianism and introduced: "This is Mr. Lu." Yu Shengshi was busy saluting again, but Mr. Lu did not stand up, only accepted the folding fan, and arched his hands with fists, which was regarded as a return salute.
"Dalang, please take a seat." Yao Xianggong gave way again, Yu Shengshi sat down with a pinch, and a small servant came up with tea, Yao Xianggong looked at him and took a sip of tea, and then slowly said with a little disdain: "Da Lang should have seen it when he came in just now, I have been like this all the time, I am so busy that I don't even have the time to calm down and drink a cup of tea, please Da Lang to come, there is indeed something important, I will say it directly, Da Lang don't be surprised." ”
"It's not weird, it's not weird," Yu Shengshi was politely said by Yao Xianggong didn't know how to express his position, Mr. Lu's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and his gaze at Yu Shengshi was very cold, Yao Xianggong glanced at him, picked up the cup and slowly took a sip of tea, put down the cup before he continued: "Da Lang is also a cheerful person, I heard that Da Lang's eldest daughter is virtuous and elegant, gentle and rare, Da Lang also knows, I have a child, that is, Xiao Fourteen, although I am greedy for fun, but I have been strict since I was a child, but it is no worse than ordinary children, I want to marry a child with Da Lang." ”
Yao Xianggong's words stopped here, watching Yu Shengshi wait for him to answer, Yu Shengshi was stunned, looked straight at Yao Xianggong, kept blinking his eyes, Mr. Lu coughed lightly and laughed: "Da Lang has a daughter like this, it's really a blessing, Fourteen Lang is pure and good-natured, honest, and has a wide range of contacts in the capital, even the prince of Jin'an County can't compare, Yao Xiang always thinks he is playful, but at the age of Fourteen Lang, isn't it the time to be playful?" It's good to have a family, start a family, become a family, and then get a good messenger, according to me, in the future, the young phoenix will be clear in the old phoenix. ”
Mr. Lu's words fell, Yu Shengshi finally reacted, the smile on his face was brighter than a hundred flowers, he stood up and bowed several times, as if he felt that it was inappropriate, if Yao Xianggong and he formed a family of children and daughters, everyone would be on an equal footing! Busy straightened up again, sat back even more tightly, and replied: "Fourteen Lang is more or less rare, who doesn't know in the capital, I'm afraid that Yaofang is not worthy of Fourteen Lang, if Xianggong really thinks Yaofang is good, I will go back and discuss with Humble Jing, and I will reply to Xianggong in the afternoon." ”
Yao Xianggong's face sank suddenly, Mr. Lu laughed dryly, shook off the folding fan and said with a smile: "It is said that the husband and wife of the Hou Shizi of Qingjiang have a deep relationship, sure enough." It's just that the love is not on this, this children's marriage is a good relationship between the two surnames, this is a matter for the parents to be the masters, how can it be discussed in the interior? Isn't that a joke? When Mr. Lu said this, he stopped talking and looked at Yu Shengshi, seeing that his face was red and uncomfortable, he took the folding fan, clapped his palms lightly and chuckled: "Besides, Yu Shizi also saw it when he came in just now, how many people outside are waiting in line to see Xianggong, and he is summoned from time to time in the forbidden palace, if it weren't for the children's affairs that have to be handled by the parents, how could Xianggong have time to talk to you for half a day?" It's just this moment of effort, and it's also lined up and rowed, squeezed and squeezed out before it is squeezed out, and the prince comes back in the afternoon, how can he still see Xianggong? ”
"And this?" Yu Shengshilen looked at Mr. Lu hahaha, spread his hands and didn't know how to answer, Mr. Lu swallowed his saliva speechlessly, and had to explain the words directly: "It is not easy for Xianggong to squeeze out such a little emptiness, according to me, today I will decide all the things that can be determined, the prince and the Xianggong Mansion are all world friends, family background, children or children, they all know the roots, this grass post, fine post can be written together, it just happens that Mr. Tong is a proficient and easy to count, please look at the eight characters, Xiang Gong is busy with the deployment of people everywhere, The next month or two will not be free for a moment, I think, today simply set the engagement book, or the beautiful operation of the six ceremonies, what does Yu Shizi mean? ”
Yu Shengshi faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but after thinking about it again, he couldn't find the slightest inappropriateness, he only felt that it was appropriate everywhere, and he couldn't find anything wrong, hesitated, and timidly glanced at Yao Xianggong, who had a calm face, and trembled a few times in his heart, and said with a smile: "What Mr. said is extreme, extreme!" ”
"That's good." Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, his smile suddenly warmed up a lot, and Yao Xianggong's face was slightly pale, and a seemingly undesirable smile appeared on his face.
Mr. Lu stood up and walked to the table, asked Yu Yaofang's birthday, and quickly wrote several posts, picked them up and blew them, and handed two to Yu Shengshi to see: "Yao Mansion and Qingjiang Hou Mansion are all members of the family, if this grass post and fine post are a little inappropriate in one day, I will mention the date on the premise, Yu Shizi take a look, is this appropriate?" Yu Shengshi kept nodding, even if he really felt that something was inappropriate, he didn't dare to show it.
Mr. Lu wrote down two more eight characters, raised his voice and called a small guy to come over, and ordered him to send it to Mr. Tong to see, a moment of effort, the little guy replied, naturally it was good luck, this moment of effort, Mr. Lu has written the engagement book, first to Yao Xianggong through the eyes, and then handed it to Yu Shengshi, after he took a rough look, took it back and put it into the rosewood box that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed a copy to Yu Shengshi.
The smile on Yao Xianggong's face was as easy-going and amiable as when Yu Shengshi came in: "From today on, we are the sons and daughters, just like a family, if the big man is empty, or if there is something, just come to talk to me, my children, the most painful is Xiao Fourteen, he and Yaofang's family affairs must be done." Yao Xianggong stood up as he spoke, politely and affectionately let Yu Shengshi out, Yu Shengshi's eyesight was not bad, he said a few words with a smile, he didn't dare to delay more, and took a few steps back to say goodbye.
Mr. Lu picked the corner of the curtain and watched Yu Shengshi come out of the hanging flower door through the silk gap, then he put down the curtain, turned his head to look at Yao Xianggong and shook his head and sighed: "Just such a person, I really didn't expect to be able to raise a good girl like Mrs. Yu, it is really a good blessing from the previous life." ”
"He married a good daughter-in-law, and the Lening Xu family is not in vain." Yao Xianggong picked up the engagement book and read it again, put the marriage book back in the box and said with a smile: "If Jiang Zhengyuan hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost missed such a good daughter-in-law." Mr. Lu, who said in one sentence, laughed: "This is the blessing of Xiao Fourteen, but it is just the end of the Linchuan Marquis Mansion?" ”
"The Marquis of Linchuan has no intention, and I don't want to cling to it anymore." Yao Xianggong's face was not good: "I want to see what kind of good daughter-in-law Jiang Zhengyuan can marry!" ”
"The Marquis of Linchuan Mansion is nothing, it's Jiang Guifei's ...... Alas, how nice it is to be able to get married. Mr. Lu sighed, and Yao Xianggong frowned: "Jiang Guifei is a smart person, if she dared to talk more, she would have no grace today a long time ago, how can the official family be a person who can be swayed by a woman's words?" There is no need to mention this matter, Fan Xiang really wants to push Xu Shangshu into the middle school, and he has already mentioned it to me after retreating from the dynasty today, and I didn't spit out. ”
Mr. Lu's eyes lit up, and he smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it is not as expected." ”
"Well, the fourth master is quite green to Xu Sihai, Xu Sihai is not worried about the Hanlin Academy, and he is bent on entering the sixth department, you pay attention to it, see which one is the most suitable, quietly arrange it, and wait for the results of the Zhongshu and the third division, let the fourth master recommend Xu Sihai to enter the six departments for experience, this knotted point must be grasped accurately, the fourth master's recommendation must come first, and Xu Xuhan's entry into the middle school must be last!" Yao Xianggong explained word by word, Mr. Lu solemnly agreed, and asked again: "What about Jiang Zhuangyuan?" ”
"Jiang Zhuangyuan," Yao Xianggong muttered: "Xu Sihai's nature is exposed, but Jiang Hong's scheming is deep, if it is useful, Xu Sihai is not as good as Jiang Hong, but Jiang Hong's scheming is too deep...... I'll discuss this matter with the fourth master again. Mr. Lu nodded in agreement, Jiang Hong was indeed not as good as Xu Sihai. Cat flutter Chinese
