During the Spring Festival, the government yamen also has a five-day holiday, but today is the sixth day of the first month, and the officials have to sit in the hall to be directors.

Zeng Yu took Sixi to follow the Huangtou Servant Road to the South Yahoutang, and when he waited for about two moments, he saw the prefect Lin Guangzu coming in with a shy stomach, full of spring breeze, but he was silent with a smile, looking Zeng Yu up and down, Zeng Yu was furious in his heart, so he had to bow down again and said: "I don't know what to teach when the government summons students to come?" ”

Governor Lin finally spoke: "Zeng Sheng's double happiness is coming, congratulations-"

Zeng Yu didn't know where the joy came from, and it was double happiness, the blessing and misfortune relied on, so he had to be cautious, bowed down and listened to the words of the Lin Governor's Mansion, only to listen to the Lin Governor's Mansion: "A year ago, the Shangrao City broke the bandits, General Qi and Mr. Xu Wenchang listed you as the first in military merit, Hu Butang has already reported the battle and asked for merit to play the military department and the cabinet, and the imperial court will be rewarded in the near future, and Zeng Sheng is famous all over the world." ”

Zeng Yu said respectfully: "The students are all cultivated by the government. ”

Lin Zhifu is very happy, Zeng Yu is the talent of Guangxin Mansion, that is, his protégé of Lin Guangzu, Zeng Yu is famous, of course, he is the official of Guangxin Mansion, of course, he has a bright face, and Zeng Yu is obviously interested, twisted his beard and said: "You are the special talent of my Guangxin Mansion, support vitality, Kuang to help the people, very meritorious, when the court commendation order arrives, the government will also reward you." ”

Zeng Yuchang said: "Thank you for your grace." I thought, "Is this double happiness?" ”

Governor Lin was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Zeng Sheng, I heard that there are many matchmakers who want to tell you that the matchmakers have been driven away by you?" ”

Zeng Yu was surprised, how could Lord Fuzun still know about this, and replied: "Yufuzun, this is indeed the case, the students are noisy by those mothers-in-law every day and cannot study at ease, so they are persuaded to go back with kind words. ”

Governor Lin smiled "hehe" and asked, "Has Zeng Sheng already had a crush on someone, or has he set a family relationship since he was a child?" ”

Hearing Governor Lin's question, Zeng Yu couldn't help but think of Lu Miaoxiang and Miss Yingzi, Lu Miaoxiang was his intended person, Miss Yingzi had a private marriage contract with him, and the relationship was really chaotic. As for Miss Yingzi, Mr. Yan Er's letter has clearly stated that it is impossible, although the young son Shaoqing is very confident in being his brother-in-law, Zeng Yu himself has little confidence, maybe his heart is not very eager to marry Miss Yingzi as his wife, after all, Yingzi is still an ungrown girl, what he really likes is his aunt-

"The students are not engaged." Of course, Zeng Yu had to answer like this.

Governor Lin smiled: "Zeng Sheng is a strange commodity to live in, so how about this mansion to tell you about matchmaking?" ”

Zeng Yu was taken aback, on the way to the palace, he asked the Huangtou Servant what the Mansion had called him, but the Huangtou Servant said that he didn't know, so at this time he suddenly heard that the Lin Governor's Mansion was going to be a matchmaker for him, of course, he was both surprised and worried, I don't know which woman the Lin Governor's Mansion was doing for him, this is a lifelong event, how can I let the Lin Governor's Mansion call the shots, although the Lin Governor's Mansion said that the matchmaker should be the daughter of the eunuch gentry's family, but the family background is not the most important, if he has a bad temper, he is not virtuous, then his life will not be ruined, and it will also affect his mother and Niuniu to be angry, How can this work?

Governor Lin saw that Zeng Yu did not show joy on his face but showed embarrassment, Xiao Xiaoxiucai really didn't know each other, but Governor Lin was not stunned, and said with a smile: "Today, someone from Longhu Mountain's Dazhen Mansion came, Zeng Sheng guessed what happened?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "The students don't know, please let the government know." ”

Governor Lin stared at Zeng Yu and said, "Zeng Sheng, don't hide it from me." ”

Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "How dare the student deceive the Mansion, the student really doesn't know why the people from the Dazhen Mansion are here." ”

Governor Lin smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't mind, and said: "Last time, there were three Longhu Mountain Taoist priests who sent a message to you in the starry night, among which I know the Taoist of Tongchen, who are the other two?" ”

Zeng Yu replied, "One is the student's friend Yu Xuandao, and the other—"

Speaking of Zhang Guangwei, Zeng Yu hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the expression on Governor Lin's face, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart: "Governor Lin said that he wanted to tell me about the matchmaker, could it be Zhang Guangwei!" ”

Before Zeng Yu could think about it, he heard Governor Lin ask: "Zeng Sheng, who is the other one?" ”

Zeng Yu had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Yufu Zun, that little fairy girl is a relative of Zhang Dazhen, and her Taoist name is natural. ”

Governor Lin deliberately said: "It turned out to be Zhang Dazhen's relatives, and this mansion is really snubbing." Then he asked, "How did you meet her?" ”

Governor Lin is going to get to the bottom of it, Zeng Yu replied: "The student saw that little natural fairy girl at the old master of the Great Shangqing Palace last year. ”

Governor Lin nodded and said, "Zeng Sheng, this Miss Zhang treats you very well, Bing Xue Tian has worked tirelessly for hundreds of miles to deliver a message for you, don't let her down——"

Zeng Yu didn't know how to answer, so he heard Governor Lin say again: "Zeng Sheng, now you should know what to do." ”

Zeng Yu really didn't understand, and said respectfully: "Please make it clear." ”

"What else do you want me to say?" Governor Lin said with a smile: "Hurry up and go to the Dazhen Mansion in Shangqing Town to propose your relatives, a good fate is rare." What I thought in my heart was: "You Xiaoxiu has only climbed the high branches, the status of the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is no worse than that of the king of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been a marriage with the emperor's relatives, high-ranking officials and bigwigs, and the next marriage show should be the first time in the world, I really don't know where you have cultivated the blessings of this show!" Thinking like this, he said to the servant standing aside: "Go and invite Steward Zhang and Yuxuan Dao to come." ”

After a while, Yu Xuandao and a fifty-year-old steward came to the back hall to salute Lin Governor's Mansion, and Lin Governor smiled and said: "Steward Zhang, Zeng Sheng's family history is as you know, and this mansion has also asked, Zeng's origin is Xingguo Sanliao, which can be called a famous family with a background, Zeng Sheng is even more handsome and superb, and his studies are diligent, and the title of the Yellow List is also just around the corner, which can be called a good match for Miss Zhang-Zeng Sheng, when you leave to Shangqing to propose marriage, discuss it with Steward Zhang." ”

Governor Lin left the back hall, leaving Zeng Yu, Steward Zhang, and Daoist Yu Xuan to discuss matters.

Zeng Yu and Steward Zhang and Yu Xuan greeted each other, Zeng Yu saw this butler at the couplet meeting of the Dazhen Mansion last year, and he was a little impressed, and said politely at the moment: "Steward Zhang, please come to the cold house to talk in detail, okay?" This happy event came too suddenly, Zeng Yu's mind was a little dazed, the originally familiar image of Zhang Guangwei suddenly became blurred and unfamiliar, and he has always regarded Zhang Guangwei as a friend.

The white-faced and short-nosed housekeeper Zhang said with a smile: "Zeng Gongzi, you won't go to your mansion first, and there will be many opportunities to come to the door in the future. ”

Zeng Yu looked at the Taoist Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan didn't talk much, just smiled slightly, Zeng Yu didn't know if this was the rule of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, the woman's family couldn't go to the man's door before asking for marriage, did this seem reserved, but Zhang Guangwei had already been to his house a few years ago-

Zeng Yu said: "Then go outside to find a restaurant and sit and talk, please, please." ”

Zeng Yu instructed Sixi to go back to the house first, he set up a banquet in a restaurant on Fuqian Street to entertain Steward Zhang and Taoist Yuxuan, Zeng Yu really did not understand the rules and etiquette of courting, and sincerely asked Steward Zhang for advice, tentatively it was the sixteenth day of the first month after the Lantern Festival Zeng Yu set off to Guixi, first visited Guixi Zhou Zhi County, and then asked Zhou Zhi County to accompany him to Shangqing Dazhen Mansion to propose, Zhang Steward said some rules and etiquette, Zeng Yu remembered one by one.

After saying this, Steward Zhang fell silent, looked at the Taoist Yu Xuan, a little like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yu Xuan still smiled and didn't speak much, Zeng Yu said: "Xiaosheng is worried about something, please ask Steward Zhang for advice." ”

Steward Zhang wrinkled his short nose and said in a loud voice: "How dare you, how dare you." After hesitating for a moment, he said to Yu Xuan Daoren: "Brother Yu Xuan, you have a good relationship with Zeng Gongzi, or you are here." ”

Daoist Yu Xuan smiled undiminishedly, and said: "Poor Dao just accompanies Steward Zhang, and it is all up to Steward Zhang. ”

Steward Zhang scolded with a smile: "You Huahua Taoist, don't pretend to be honest here, you and Zeng Gongzi will explain, I will go to the thatched house." With that, he left the table.

Zeng Yu tilted his head and asked Yu Xuan: "Brother Dao, say it quickly, don't let me be ugly when I arrive." ”

Steward Zhang was not here, Yu Xuan's expression was much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "How can you be ugly, virtuous brother - no, no, you can't call virtuous brother anymore, how should you call it?" ”

Yu Xuandao smiled and looked distressed, his master Dong Zhendao was one generation shorter than Zhang Guangwei, after Zeng Yu married Zhang Guangwei, wouldn't he be two generations shorter than Zeng Yu, how could he be called a "virtuous brother" again-

Zeng Yu shook his head and smiled: "Don't care about these things for now, Brother Dao quickly instructed me." ”

Yu Xuandao said: "It's a matter for others, but it's not a matter for the virtuous brother." ”

Zeng Yu rolled his eyes and said: "Why is Brother Yuxuan so unhappy, what are you talking about?" ”

Yu Xuandao said with a smile: "This matter is actually a good brother, the little fairy Gu has not been determined to practice and seek the Tao since she was a child, and she refuses to get married, that's it, hehe." ”

Zeng Yu was dumbfounded, he did know about this matter, the last time Yan Shifan went to Shangqing to ask for divination, the heir taught the real person Zhang Yongxu intended to marry Zhang Guangwei to Yan Shifan's son, Zhang Guangwei was resolute refusal, Zhang Guangwei also asked him for a plan at that time, and then because Master Yuan Gang estimated that Yan Shifan would not have a good home, Zhang Yongxu gave up-

Zeng Yu was stunned for a long time and said: "Miss Guangwei is also unwilling this time, right, then wouldn't I touch my nose when I go to ask for a kiss?" ”

Taoist Yu Xuan said hesitantly: "Little fairy Gu to you - hehe, don't worry, the elders of the little fairy Gu are optimistic about you, the words of the parents' order matchmaker, even if the virtuous brother goes, he will ask for relatives, and asking for immortals is not contrary to getting married and having children, isn't the ancestral master also passed down the heirs to this day, the little fairy aunt will understand this reason, this needs to be persuaded by the virtuous brother himself, hehe." ”

Daoist Yu Xuan smiled a little obscenely, Zeng Yu also laughed, at this time Steward Zhang came back, looked at Yu Xuan and Zeng Yu's demeanor, knew that he had said everything, and said: "Zeng Gongzi, that villain will go to Lin Fuzun to reply to him, and he will leave to return to Dazhen Mansion in the afternoon." ”

Zeng Yu accompanied Steward Zhang and Yu Xuan to the mansion, Lin Governor asked Steward Zhang to bring a letter to Guixi Zhouzhi County, Zeng Yu went to the dock to send the two of them on the boat back to Shangqing, and when they returned to the house outside the north gate, the sun was already twilight, and my sister Zeng Ruolan's family did not return to Zhujiajia, because I heard Sixi say that Governor Lin was talking about Zeng Yu, so they were waiting for news.
