Chapter 107: Marriage proposal
"What do you mean by Master Feng?" Chen Chaoyan's heart moved faintly, and he almost guessed his purpose, but there was no indication on his face.
Seeing that she didn't even know anything about the Great Wei Decree, Feng Shoudao didn't think much about it, and after a little consideration, he said straight to the point: "I have an old friend, and in two months, I will come to Luyang County to serve as the head of the county school." My old friend has a wide range of knowledge, and his knowledge is also extraordinary, and he once served as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, but because the old lady in the family is getting weaker and weaker, he resigned and returned to his hometown. A few days ago, I heard Wuwei say, Chen Gongzi heard and recited, and he was quite talented in reading. Such a talent, if guided by a good teacher, will surely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. ”
At this point, he covered his mouth rather unnaturally and coughed lightly twice before continuing, "I just don't know if Miss Chen is willing?" ”
"Of course, if Miss Chen can't rest assured, she can also wait for my old friend to come to Luyang County and take the school exam before making a decision. As for Miss Chen, Miss Chen has no fame, and there is no way for me to break the law to get a position for Miss Chen. But if Miss Chen is willing, I can join the army and hire Miss Chen for the use of the county guard. ”
Chen Chaoyan didn't expect his retention to start with Chen Qiyang. Indeed, it is more tempting to start with Chen Qiyang's studies than simply keeping her. After all, she has professional skills in hand, and she may not be rich, but it is definitely not a problem to ensure food and clothing. And a good mentor is not something she can meet or invite if she has the skills.
It's just that, "It's not that I don't trust Master Feng, it's that I only turned ten years old at the beginning of Qiyang, and if I want to participate in the scientific examination, I have to wait for several years." And Lord Feng is a liuguan, and he will be transferred elsewhere in four years. When Lord Feng is here, he can naturally shelter our sister and brother, Lord Feng is gone, and after the next adult comes, it is difficult to say whether he will recognize Lord Feng's promise or not. ”
Feng Shoudao had obviously thought about this question for a long time, so after Chen Chaoyan finished asking, he immediately replied: "Miss Chen hasn't married yet, so she shouldn't have discussed marriage yet, right?" My second son is not talented, just two years older than Miss Chen, and now he is studying in Taixue, and he will take the township exam next year. If Miss Chen doesn't dislike it, I can make the decision for my second son and settle a relationship with Miss Chen first. ”
Chen Chaoyan stopped amusedly.
He is a high-ranking official under the fourth grade of the imperial court, no matter what the reason, he condescended to propose marriage to her, an ordinary person, she belongs to Gao Pan, and she should be grateful to Dade. But...... Although she doesn't understand the laws of Da Wei very well, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand that marriage should pay attention to the Ming media.
This kind of skipping the links such as picking and asking for names, and directly setting up family affairs, seems to belong to his 'high opinion' of her, and it is not a retreat left for himself.
is too studying, and with a high-ranking official father like him, the future will definitely not be bad.
As for her, she has a good ability to conduct autopsies and solve cases, but when she is responsible for the autopsy, in this feudal society where imperial power is supreme, she is a lowly class.
Regardless of whether a promising young man is willing to marry a lowly wife, it is only said that the law of the Great Wei Dynasty has long stipulated: lowly status is not allowed to be a wife.
He is taking her for not understanding the Great Wei Decree......
"Look at my brain!" Feng Shoudao originally wanted to say something, so that she didn't have to answer in a hurry, and thought about it for two days first. But seeing her gradually retracting her smile, he realized that he only cared about keeping her, but forgot the 'rules' of marriage! After quickly patting his forehead twice, and quickly waving his hands to make amends, Feng Shoudao hurriedly remedied: "I didn't look down on Miss Chen, I saw that Miss Chen had no elders in her family, and she was a very assertive person, so I thought about asking Miss Chen first." If Miss Chen agrees, she will ask the prince to come as a witness and settle this family business. ”
Chen Chaoyan didn't bother to delve into the truth of his words, so he only said: "The autopsy is a cheap name, Lord Feng is not afraid of ruining the future of the second son?" ”
"Why should Miss Chen be humble?" Feng Shoudao shook his head and sighed, "With Miss Chen's ability, my future achievements cannot be said to be above me." I proposed marriage for the second son in the family, and speaking of which, it also took advantage of Miss Chen's reputation for the time being. ”
Although he was a little flattering in his words, he was not lying.
Illegal mining of iron ore and private manufacture of weapons were found out through her. This kind of rebellion, as long as it doesn't end for a day, then Xie Xuan can still use her for a day. When the curtain really ends, she will be the first to be rewarded for her meritorious deeds. Needless to say, she will not need to be promoted to an official or a knight, but it will fall to those close to her.
If you marry her, this close person will naturally have a share of the second son of his family.
If the second son of his family is in power, then the eldest son will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation.
Even if there is a case, the sacrifice is only two boys, and he still has a big son and a third boy.
Chen Chaoyan saw that he was serious, and after thinking about it a little, he understood a little. Looking at the begonia flowers that were gradually withering far and near, he joked: "It seems that Lord Feng attaches great importance to that old friend who used to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy. ”
"Yes, I met that old friend since I was a child, studied together, took scientific examinations together, and became officials one after another. In the early years, I could get together from time to time. In recent years, as I have been running around, I have gathered less, but my feelings have become deeper and deeper. This time, Zhou Zhongcai's case involved the mountain chief of Luyang County, and he happened to be idle at home, so he wrote to persuade him to come over and take over. First, you can get together, and second, Chen Gongzi is indeed a rare good seedling. The old friend is full of knowledge, and he has always wanted to accept a disciple to teach him, and now that he encounters this opportunity, he naturally can't miss it. ”
Feng Shoudao said, and pulled the topic back again, "Miss Chen, think about it for a few days before answering me." It doesn't matter if you say yes or don't. ”
Chen Chaoyan nodded well, "I'll think about it." ”
Feng Shoudao achieved his goal, and he didn't dwell too much. After a few polite compliments, he took the first step.
Chen Chaoyan stood in the shadow of the tree for a while, and was just about to raise his feet, when he saw under the begonia tree not far away, Xie Xuan leaning on the trunk of the tree, holding a jade bone landscape fan, looking at her with a playful look.
"Think about something, Miss Chen might as well talk about it, and let me refer to it for you." Xie Xuan's ridiculous voice drifted over with the cooling night breeze, causing Chen Chaoyan to unconsciously hook the corners of his mouth, "Eavesdropping on other people's speeches is losing the identity of the prince." ”
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Miss Chen should reflect on it, what caused this king to do such a disappointing thing as eavesdropping." ”
Chen Chaoyan sighed, "Forgive the foolishness of the people's daughter, and I also implore the prince to mention it." ”
Xie Xuanhe laughed, walked out from under the begonia tree, and slowly walked to her. The long, jade figure reflected against the moonlight, like a giant beast, engulfing her in an instant.
"If you know foolishness, then use your brains more!" After knocking her on the head with a bone jade landscape fan, Xie Xuan walked past her and left.
Chen Chaoyan covered his head, turned to look at his back as he walked away, and after the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, he continued to walk around the back garden happily.
Yuejian walked out of the fork in the road at the right time, followed her footsteps, and said in pieces as she walked: "Feng Ergongzi has never entered the top 100 in Taixue, whether it is the monthly test or the annual test. With such a result, Jinshike must be hopeless, although there is a little possibility in Mingjingke, but after the exam, I don't know how many years it will take to keep the selection. ”
Chen Chaoyan asked her unmoved: "Do you know Second Prince Feng?" ”
Tsukimi didn't think about it, so he said, "I don't know." ”
Chen Chaoyan let out an 'oh'.
"Well, I do know him." Seeing that she didn't speak, Yue Jian pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "The appearance of the second son of Feng should be the inherited Mrs. Feng, and she is very colorful. Although his grades in Taixue are not good, there are still many young ladies who are happy with him. ”
Feng Shoudao's appearance can only be regarded as upright, Chen Chaoyan really couldn't imagine what Feng Ergongzi's color looked like, so he had to ask, "How is it better than your son?" ”
"Of course it's our son, no, how can he be compared to our son! Concubine Chen was the number one ...... in the world back then" Yue Jian consciously lost her mouth, and after quickly swallowing back the second half of the sentence, she muttered unwillingly, "The appearance of our son looks at the world, and few people can compare, how can he climb high?" ”
Regarding this, Chen Chaoyan still admits it.
In the modern entertainment industry, what kind of handsome men and beautiful women don't? But even so, she had never seen anyone who could compare to Xie Xuan.
However, appearance is not a meal. After waiting for her to vent, Chen Chaoyan asked again: "What is the character of that Feng Ergongzi?" ”
Yuejian was a little angry, "No matter how good his character is, he can't compare to our son!" ”
Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Can your son marry me?" ”
The moon suddenly stopped.
Chen Chaoyan chuckled disappreciatively, "Let's go, go back." ”
Back in the Star Picking Building, looking at the eight plates of desserts on the table, Chen Chaoyan didn't even have a hand, so he took a piece of chopsticks and ate it. Yue saw it, and said while pouring water for her: "Knowing that Miss Chen is in a bad mood, Gongzi specially asked Banxia to prepare these. ”
"Thank you son-in-law for me." Chen Chaoyan took the tea, ate all the sweethearts, simply washed up, and fell asleep.
Tsukimi couldn't settle down. After she fell asleep, she quietly went to the pear orchard to pull Bai Shao outside the courtyard, and quickly told her everything in the back garden, and urged: "You quickly think of a way, how to stop Miss Chen from agreeing to this family business!" ”
Bai Shao looked at her twice, "Why stop it?" ”
"Of course, you have to stop it, if Miss Chen agrees to the relationship with Feng Ergongzi, she will stay in Luyang County!" Yuejian hurriedly said, "The arrest of Wang Da and others has already startled the snake, who knows how many obstacles the people behind have set up to wait for the son in front?" If there is no help from Miss Chen, I don't know how long Childe will be delayed, and what Childe lacks most now is time! ”
Bai Shao glanced in the direction of the Star Picking Tower, "Miss Chen won't agree to this family business, don't worry." ”
Tsukimi didn't believe it: "How do you know?" ”
Bai Shao said lightly: "If Miss Chen really chooses to stay in Luyang County, there is only one reason, and that is Gongzi Chen. ”
"Impossible!" Yuejian immediately vetoed, "At the beginning, we said that we could send Chen Gongzi to Taixue, but Miss Chen didn't agree. It doesn't make sense that she would give up too much learning and choose to study in the county. ”
"She didn't say yes because she didn't want to get into trouble." Bai Shao said calmly, "If you are really worried, just go back and tell Miss Chen that Master Feng has taken refuge in Gongzi." ”
Tsukimi was still skeptical, "Really? ”
"It's not really, just try it." Bai Shao turned around and said, "Besides, if Gongzi wants to keep Miss Chen by his side, he will have a way, and it is not your turn to worry about it." ”
"Then I'm not worried about it." Yuejian saw her enter the pear orchard, and also turned back to the Star Picking Tower.
