Sun Jiao's mansion in Beijing, Yang Tinghe came to visit this day.

This surprised Sun Jiaoda, and personally went out to greet him, respectfully inviting Yang Tinghe to the main hall, and wanted to invite Yang Tinghe to sit on the main seat, but Yang Tinghe was very polite and just sat down on the guest seat on the side.

"Why did Yang Zhongtang want to come to the Old Decay Mansion in person?"

Sun Jiao seemed to be flattered, but in fact he stayed away.

Although he and Yang Tinghe are old friends, they are older than Yang Tinghe, but now Yang Tinghe's status in the court is not comparable to him as a household secretary.

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "This time I came down to discuss a private matter with my brother. ”

Originally, after the court officials returned to their homes, they should no longer work, and it was still okay for ministers to visit relatives and friends, but if they were called talking about court affairs in private, they would be denounced as misconduct, and even suspected of forming a party for personal gain, which is something that decent ministers should avoid.

Sun Jiao's face was embarrassed, and he said: "The old man came to Beijing alone to take office, and now the family scrolls are not around, what private affairs are there?" ”

In fact, Sun Jiao deliberately pretended to be a lake.

Empress Dowager Jiang has sent people to tell him more than once, let him put the little girl he brought with him into the list of candidates for the queen, with the meaning of Empress Dowager Jiang, as long as your daughter goes to the election, she will definitely enter the palace smoothly in the end, even if she is not the queen, she can enter the "choose three" link and become a concubine with rank.

Sun Jiao repeatedly refused, and how could Yang Tinghe not make a move?

Yang Tinghe said: "It's for the marriage of Ling's concubine." ”

Sun Jiao sighed: "It's a shame to say that Lao Yu has a little girl, who went to Beijing with Lao Yu, and took care of it by his side, Lao Yu's old bones...... Many times she has difficulty moving, and she needs to serve tea and water, and the other is ...... The old man didn't plan to marry her out so early. ”

Almost a direct rejection.

Mention my daughter's marriage?

Then don't open your mouth!

Yang Tinghe took out a scroll and handed it to Sun Jiao: "This is the list of sons of the middle family in Beijing, many of them are young talents, and many of them are worthy of Ling Yan." ”

is so direct, which makes Sun Jiao very anxious.

"Why should Yang Zhongtang be strong?" Sun Jiao grimaced.

Yang Tinghe said: "When the daughter's family talks about marriage, as a father, it should not be hindered. ”

Sun Jiao shook his head and said, "Jiefu, since you are your own person, then I will tell the truth...... When the old man returned to Jiufeng Mountain, the owner of the Shixing Royal Mansion sent someone to send the field and agreed to marry, but he refused for the old man. The meaning of old decay is very simple, and he doesn't want to use the marriage of a little girl to do that thing that clings to the powerful.

But I never thought that the young master of Xingwangfu, who had the intention of marrying the little girl, has become the saint today, which is the reason why the Queen Mother has always been obsessed. The old man has no intention of marrying a daughter, since he has a relationship with the saint, the meaning of the old decay, even if it is to let the little girl never marry for life, it will not be criticized, and he does not want the old man to be infamous for not knowing the current affairs. ”

Sun Jiao can also be regarded as sincere.

Even the origin of the original Xingwang Mansion was said, and it was explained that the old Xingwang was cheeky to get married, but he was rejected by himself, who knows that now people have ascended to heaven and become the emperor, and now I dare not marry my daughter, otherwise I will be suspected of bullying the king.

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "Time has already passed, and the candidate for the new queen has roughly been in the direction, and the Ministry of Rites has already submitted a list, and like-minded brothers really shouldn't be entangled in old things." ”

Sun Jiao couldn't help but be angry.

Feelings aren't your girl being remembered by the emperor, right?

It's so easy for empty white teeth to say cool things here?

I promised that my little daughter would not marry, and you are still so stubborn, you have to marry my daughter to someone else, and the marriage is settled, do you believe that I will not let my daughter choose the queen?

Yang Tinghe said: "If you are an ordinary person, or if you are not in the eyes of like-minded brothers, there is a suitable person here, if you like it, you can help you make peace." ”

"Huh?"

Sun Jiao was puzzled.

Yang Tinghe Mingming took out a whole list, but in the end he said alone?

Who is it?

It can't be your son, right?

I heard that your second son Yang Dian is quite capable of making, and there are a lot of romantic things on the Fengyue field, you don't want my daughter to marry her as a concubine, right?

There are no doors!

"Nai Zhu Hao."

Yang Tinghe said bluntly, "This son is from Anlu Prefecture, and Sun Lao is the same township, the champion body, the Han Yuan is diligent in work, and the future of young talents is limitless." According to the dog who works with him, his writing is also excellent, and the old man has a poem he wrote here, you can take a look. ”

Saying that, Yang Tinghe handed over the "Linjiang Immortal" written by Zhu Hao before to Sun Jiao.

Obviously, it is impossible for Yang Shen to assume the name of Zhu Hao, with his champion body and his father's status in the court, if it is exposed and pretending to be someone else's name, it will be a very shameful thing.

But it is impossible to say that Yang Shen is not jealous of Zhu Hao's talent, seeing Zhu Hao write a song that is unparalleled in the world, in addition to envy, he can only spread his reputation to the outside world according to the agreement, but he deliberately does not say who wrote it, neither impersonation, but also does not take the initiative to say Zhu Hao's name.

Relying on public opinion to ferment and spread by word of mouth, it makes people feel that this poem was written by him Yang Shen, which is a kind of impostor in itself, but I don't dare to face it.

Sun Jiao's old face was wrinkled.

A word, you want me to recognize a young man?

Are you that young man Su Dongpo or Lu Fangweng?

But when Sun Jiao patiently read this poem, he was shocked.

To say that although Sun Jiao is not a famous poet, he has read all the books in his leisure time over the years, and he still has the basic ability to appreciate it.

"This ...... Is it really written by Zhu Hao? ”

Sun Jiao obviously didn't believe it.

Zhu Hao: He has seen it.

A young man, although he still can't understand why the new emperor would let Zhu Hao come forward as a lobbyist, and he just doesn't understand why Yang Tinghe will help Zhu Hao come to talk about marriage, it seems that both sides regard Zhu Hao as "their own person", but Zhu Hao should always have a political leaning, right?

Moreover, why did Jiang Lun and Tang Yin be so respectful to Zhu Hao?

Now I have actually seen that Zhu Hao can write a masterpiece of the world?

Yang Tinghe said: "It is indeed what he did, and the dog witnessed it with his own eyes." After reading it, he also cherished his talents, and with his literary attainments, he will be able to make great achievements in the court in the future, which is much stronger than the average son of a family.

"In addition, after this Zhu Hao is loyal and good, his father is a general of the Ming Festival, and his grandfather is a thousand households in Jinyi, and he has lived in Anlu for 20 years. From character to talent, to family background, they should all be worthy of Ling Yan, right? ”

Sun Jiao really wants to say, you don't really think of him as an ordinary Jinyi Wei disciple, or an ordinary champion Lang, right?

But Sun Jiao would not pierce this layer of window paper that seemed thin to him.

Sun Jiaodao: "The difficulties of the old decay, I told you about the husband, it is really inconvenient for the little girl to marry, you don't have to mention it again." And then there's the little girl...... It's really not worthy of such a champion talent. Alas! In fact, it is not a champion talent, but a real champion. ”

usually praises a young hero's talent, and they all say that he is the best talent, with compliments.

And Zhu Hao is a real champion, and he doesn't need others to pat him.

Yang Tinghe sighed: "If it is because of old things, and delay the marriage of Ling's concubine, it really shouldn't be, it is better to be the one who pulls the strings in this matter, as long as the like-minded brother nods, there will be no deviation." ”

Sun Jiao almost scolded.

Can't you understand people?

I don't want to get involved in court disputes, I don't want to marry my daughter to the royal family, I don't want to stand on the opposite side of you.

In the same way, I don't want to offend the new emperor and the queen mother for standing with you.

I am in such an embarrassing position now, why do you have to be strong like the Queen Mother?

"Let's discuss this matter later, since you are here, let me prepare a banquet, please stay and drink a few cups together......"

……

……

No matter what Yang Tinghe said, Sun Jiao just disagreed.

It stands to reason that it is just the marriage of the children, and the first assistant of the cabinet has come to the door in person, so Sun Jiao has to give some face.

But the problem is that the person who pressured him on the other side was the emperor's wife.

When you Yang Tinghe comes to the door in person, I will sell you a favor?

Do you know how many times the old lady told me alone on the way to my daughter's marriage? It's true that you Yang Tinghe is the first assistant, but you are still the queen mother.

I'll give you face, that is, I won't give the queen mother, that is, I won't give the emperor face, how will I mix in the future?

Sending Yang Tinghe away, Sun Jiao was anxious.

Fortunately, Yang Tinghe didn't have the cheekiness to stay at home to eat, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say to Yang Tinghe at the dinner table.

Just as he was about to rest and have a good dinner, someone came here to report: "Master, someone from the palace has come." ”

"It's endless!"

Sun Jiao was helpless.

But he could only come out to greet him.

When he saw that the person who came was the most trusted eunuch by the emperor's side, the eunuch Zhang Zuo, who was in charge of the eunuch Zhang Zuo, Sun Jiao was startled again.

In order to talk about the marriage with the two families, the Queen Mother even sent Zhang Zuo?

"Old Sun!"

Zhang Zuo was very polite, kind and kind, and saluted as soon as he saw Sun Jiao.

Sun Jiao hurriedly invited Zhang Zuo to enter the door.

"Elder Sun, in fact, you should have guessed the purpose of our family's coming...... I heard that Elder Yang Ge had been here before? ”

When Zhang Zuo arrived at the main hall, his attitude was completely different from that of Yang Tinghe, and he was more respectful to Sun Jiao.

Sun Jiao thought to himself, the new emperor is quite well-informed.

But I think you can't come in a hurry after hearing the news, right?

Did you see it all outside?

"Yes." Sun Jiao nodded.

Zhang Zuo smiled: "Let us guess, Yang Ge Lao will definitely not come for official business, maybe it is for private affairs, or it is related to Ling Qianjin's marriage?" ”

"This ......"

Sun Jiao was helpless.

The heart said, my daughter is going to be treated as a commodity, and the two sides are fighting back and forth, not only secretly competing, but now they have to fight wits and courage?

Zhang Zuodao: "Let our family guess again, does Elder Yang want Elder Sun to marry Zhu Zhuangyuan, who was born in Anlu?" ”

Sun Jiaodao: "Father-in-law Zhang, since you have guessed everything, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Zhang Zuo pursed his lips and smiled: "It's a shame to say that the Queen Mother also felt that she was too tight on Sun Lao before, this is not the queen The list of candidates has been decided, the meaning of the Queen Mother, if Sun Lao wants to marry Zhu Zhuangyuan, the matter will be decided." Can't delay Ling Qianjin's lifelong event. ”
