With the holy decree to give marriage, Zhou Zheng has nothing to say, anyway, he has never been able to deal with this marriage proposal, and it all falls on his wife; Madame was very enthusiastic, and it was a little difficult to accept at first, but when she thought about it, she was relieved.

said to Shen Ao: "When you get married in the future, I will teach someone to clean up a few attics in the east courtyard of the back garden for you to live in, so you don't have to move out, and the family will be lively together." ”

Shen Ao originally had the intention of moving out, after all, he was just a relative and had been living there, but he was afraid that outsiders would make irresponsible comments. But after all, he is used to living in this Zhou Mansion, and it is really troublesome to move out, and when he heard what his wife said, he agreed to it, thinking in his heart, buddy is thick-skinned, and he can say it if he loves it.

Shen Ao stayed in the mansion for a few days, and Guozijian opened the school, and he also asked for a few days off first, Tang Yan knew Shen Ao's intentions, so he naturally allowed it.

The Guogong Mansion has just finished the banquet, and began to prepare the dowry again, according to the meaning of the discussion, now it is just to make a decision first, and then the marriage will be completed after the autumn. However, after all, the Zhou family is a big family, that is, the marriage, and there are many rules, the dowry is personally selected by the lady, what is the good silk and satin, which one to buy the gift cake, and which happy event team to invite, this sect of things, so that Mrs. has not slept well for several nights, and even Zhou Zheng has been woken up by Mrs. for several nights, and when he wakes up in the morning, he has yawned and yawned, and his eyes can't be opened.

Zhou Zheng was a little resistant at first, but when Yang Jian came to the door in person, although he decided not to talk about getting married, he just talked about the old days and complimented the grandfather, which made his resistance a little lower.

As for Zhou Heng, sometimes he also brings a few friends from the palace to come back to help, most of these people are strong people who have nowhere to vent their energy, and they can do their best to help run errands.

Shen Ao was the most heartless, these days he either took out Chen Ji's notes to read, or did a few scriptures, sometimes wrote some books, he didn't dare to go out, and he didn't dare to look for his wife, but he felt that if he bumped into Zhou Ruo, his heart would be empty.

On the way, I went to the Ministry of Officials, which was the head of the six departments, and was in charge of the ranking, examination, selection, and promotion of officials in the world. Even the affairs of knighthood, secular office, grace, difficulty, invitation, and donation are also controlled by the ministry. Therefore, don't look at this official yamen in many yamen seems to be extremely inconspicuous, the front door of the public government can be numerous, but the weight of its authority is enough to make people daunted.

Entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is divided into four divisions, each division is a single building, guarding a public hall in the shape of a character, in front of the door, respectively, stand the stone monument such as the selection of texts, the inspection of seals, the merits and the examination of merit, in front of the public hall is the Holy Oracle Pavilion, not far away is an inscription, this inscription must have been for many years, but the payment is the handwriting of Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Shen Ao stood in front of the stele, but it was a smile, this stele was sprinkled with thousands of words, but it was some nonsense, and then it was sprinkled into the court.

The hall official sitting in the hall was an old official, wearing a scarlet robe, which was obviously not small, Shen Ao went over to salute, clarified his identity and reason, and presented the seal letter issued by the imperial court.

The old hall official looked at it and confirmed that Shen Ao's seal letter was not wrong, so he drew a circle under the seal letter with a pen, called a small official, handed the seal letter to him, and then said to Shen Ao: "Bachelor Shen should be treated." ”

Shen Ao sat in the public court, thinking that this registration was so troublesome, and he thought that he only needed to remember one name. The little official took the seal letter and went out, and came back after a long time, this time bringing more seal letters, and said to the old hall official: "My lord, the Wenxuan Qing Officials Department checked the file over there, and the seal letter is correct." ”

The hall official nodded, and said to Shen Ao with a smile: "Master Shen, please stay a little longer." Then he wrote a few more words on the letter, and asked the servant to send it.

This time it didn't take much time, and the little official came with a tray with a scarlet official robe, a winged hat and a silver seal, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Shen." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly took out the money to reward, this unspoken rule still has to be observed, the little official got the reward, happily thanked him again, and personally sent Shen Ao out, and when he arrived in the front yard, someone shouted: "Is it Shen Ao Shen?" ”

Shen Ao looked back, and saw a blue-dressed official walking out of the yatang of the Wen Xuan Division, pacing over with a smile, this person Shen Ao was a little impressed, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, Shen Ao said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

This man came over and saluted, and said with a smile: "The last time I begged for a drink of joy in the mansion, I was checking the seal letter, and as soon as I saw that it was Brother Shen's name, I immediately came to say a few words to Brother Shen." ”

Only then did Shen Ao know that the effect of the banquet came out, and he invited that wine, which was regarded as Zhou Zheng's official recommendation of Shen Ao to his protégé. He smiled, exchanged a few words with the officials of the Anthology Division, and then said goodbye, and did not forget to say: "In a few days, I will propose marriage, hehe, if Brother Tai does not give up, why not go and join in the fun." ”

The young official laughed and hurriedly agreed.

When he returned to the mansion, Shen Ao really pondered the official seal and official uniform, tried it on, and it fit quite well, as for this official seal, it was printed with the seven words of the bachelor of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and the handwriting was a little blurry, it looked like it was a bit old, and I don't know how many people's hands it had passed.

As for the scarlet robe, it is new, the style is a round-necked Confucian robe, and the cuffs are relatively large, which is really a bit majestic when worn. Needless to say, this is the prototype of the black gauze hat in later generations, which is a little big on the head, and it feels like a basin is placed on the head, which is a little uncomfortable at first, and you can get used to it slowly.

These are just a few things, but the meaning is different.

After a few days, Ji Yue finally arrived, early in the morning in front of the mansion has been set off firecrackers, with the dowry of several cars painted with new paint, very eye-catching. Shen Ao was embraced out, there are too many people coming today, there are dozens of classmates from Shan Guozijian, they are ostensibly here to greet Shen Ao together, but in fact, this little bit of caution has already been seen through by Shen Ao.

Shen Ao is going to marry Miss Tang, who is Tang Mo'er's father? It is the president of Central University, these inmates skipped class one by one, and they insisted that even if they skipped class this time, they would not be punished, and when they asked about it, they said that they would go with Shen Ao to propose marriage, such a happy event, what can Xuezheng say?

There were also dozens of military attachés from the front of the palace, as well as a lot of old ones, as well as a dozen friends made in some of the Yaya mountain houses, and the group arrived in front of the mansion, Liu Wen came over with a smile: "Young Master Cousin, which one should we go to first?" ”

This sentence is really weird, when someone else wants to propose, which one do you need to ask? If the woman knows, she must turn it away.

When Shen Ao heard this, he was stunned for a while, he was really in trouble, which one to go to first?

Although they are all flat wives, this is written in black and white on the holy decree, but in the eyes of outsiders, whether they are flat wives or not, this wife always has to be separated. If you go to the Tang family first, the Tang family will naturally be happy, but according to Yang Jian's surname, you will definitely be displeased, Yang Jian also wants to save face, his goddaughter was hired, but the man went to another girl's house first, what is going on?

But the question arises again, if he goes to Gonggong Yang's mansion first, what will Tang Yan think? It must be known that the scholar doctor and the eunuch have always been at odds with each other, and the scholar doctor pretends to be high, especially a pedantic person like Tang Yan, when he heard it, oh, you actually went to Yang Gonggong first before coming to Lord Ben, get out, this kiss is not over.

Although these are just Shen Ao's speculations, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not happen, not to mention that if Chun'er goes late, although Chun'er will not complain, Shen Ao feels sorry for her, she is a person who has no father, and she will be snubbed when she is married, thinking of that pitiful little appearance, Shen Ao feels a little uncomfortable.

Gritting his teeth, he said in front of everyone: "Come, bring three copper plates." ”

Everyone coaxed: "What are you going to do with the copper plate, tell me quickly, where to go, delay the auspicious time, see how you end." ”

Liu Wen took out the copper plate and handed it to Shen Ao, and Shen Ao said in front of everyone: "If you scatter one word, you will go to the Tang family first, two words are the Yang family, and three words are the Wu family." "Wu Nai is Chun'er's surname.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, this idea was up to Shen Ao, and he actually came to guess first, which was interesting, so they said: "Brother Shen, throw ...... quickly"

Shen Ao sprinkled the copper coin, but it was one word, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are optimistic, you must remember to give a witness to the younger brother, go, go to Lord Tang's mansion first." ”

The gongs and drums sounded, Shen Ao sat high on his horse, and the team that followed him rushed to the end of the street, which was very lively.

This way passed, I don't know how many streets were blocked, and when I arrived at Tang's house, someone at the door of Tang's house had already gone in to report, and the chaimen was immediately closed, and many neighbors blocked the chaimen with a smile, and said: "Which Langjun is this?" If you want to get over, let's get past our hurdle first. ”

Shen Ao dismounted, and some people from Zhou Heng came over, and said: "Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

The Tang family refused to let it, and one of them stood up and said: "Master Shen is a talented man, if you want to propose marriage, you will write a poem for us first." I said in advance, this poem is not allowed to be messed up, and Master Shen needs to brag about it himself, let's see why Master Shen asked Tang Cainu for marriage. ”

Shen Ao laughed and said, "Okay, just make a poem." He pondered for a moment, this time he didn't copy the ancient poems, and he chanted with his foundation: "The milk baby picked up the pen and threw the golden melon, the young ink sea stepped on the waves, and went straight to the Qingyun Dragon to show the shape, and then he smiled and explored the flowers." ”

The poem is done, a little embarrassed, the level is not enough, but this poem is arrogant enough, especially the last sentence is the last sentence to smile and explore the flowers, although it is very true, but it is too arrogant.

If you are arrogant, you are arrogant, what is it to be reserved? Shen Ao thought with a grin.

"Ah, the champion has a big breath." Everyone laughed one after another, and it was no longer good to care whether Shen Ao's poems were good or bad.

Shen Ao said: "Can you go in now?" ”

The people let him in, and when they opened the firewood gate, many of their classmates, the forbidden army in civilian clothes, rushed over, and although the fence was deeply pierced, it was not strong after all.

Zhou Hengda shouted: "Who, who crushed Lord Tang's bamboo fence, it's really damn ......"

Several people identified him and said: "It was Zhou Gongzi who was crushed, and the thief shouted to catch the thief." ”

"Is it me?" Zhou Heng was very ashamed, and he slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

When they arrived at the front yard, the people who were pressed said together: "Quickly ask Tang Cainu to come out and show everyone, if I don't come out, I won't wait." ”

When Tang Yan came out, the voices of these people were much weaker, and many prisoners saw Lord Tang, and their faces tightened with fright, and they didn't dare to make any loud noises.

Tang Yan's gaze fell on Shen Ao, seeing that he was wearing a scarlet shirt and winged hat, he was in good spirits, and deliberately passed over with a straight face, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Shen Ao, I don't know what you are doing with so many people in the mansion today?" ”

This is called knowingly asking, the woman must not be happy at this juncture, she must be reserved, show her disdain for the man, and wait for the man to pray in every way before she can let go; Otherwise, it means that his daughter is worthless, so Tang Yan put on a straight face, but he really frightened many people.

Shen Ao hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The student has seen Lord Tang, Lord Tang, the student is very fond of Miss Mo'er, and this time I have come to ask for a kiss, hoping that Lord Tang will agree." ”

Tang Yan said: "Asking for a kiss? Okay, I'll test you first, if you have real talent and real learning, we can discuss it again, if you don't learn and don't know how to learn, don't blame the old man for driving you out with a duster. ”

"Cheating, cheating!" Someone beat his chest and said, "What other exam in this world is difficult to get Master Shen?" If you want to take the test, you have to take the test that Bachelor Shen has never tested. ”

"Yes, it's better to take the cockfighting test, Master Shen will definitely not."

"What's the point of cockfighting, it's the manly husband who stood up and asked Master Shen to compete with me, if he wins, I will be convinced. But if you lose, it's better for me to mention it. ”

"Haha......"

The crowd laughed.

Tang Yan ignored them and said to Shen Ao: "Let me ask you, what is the next link of Xu Yue Zhilan Guangjiadi?" ”

Many people shouted, "Ah, it's such an easy couplet? Don't say it's Master Shen, even I can answer it. ”

So someone said: "Lord Tang is too unfair, this is obviously biased in favor of Bachelor Shen, no, no, change the question." ”

Shen Ao said with a smile: "Spring Breeze Tangtang vibrates the family." He snickered in his heart, this topic is really easy, no wonder everyone is dissatisfied, Lord Tang released the water too obviously.
