Ever since Zhu Guoxiang provoked academic controversy, especially the emergence of new astronomical knowledge, officials of various schools have been corresponding.

What is communication for?

Shake people!

Let the local Confucian celebrities hurry into Beijing and strive to gain more voice in the official school of the new dynasty. At the same time, they also have to fine-tune their own academic discipline according to the new astronomical knowledge.

Luo Congyan was shaken here, and his student Li Tong was this year's Tanhua.

He took a servant to inquire along the way, and finally came to Luo Wei's capital mansion. Luo Congyan and Luo Wei, don't look at the big difference in name, they actually have the same grandfather.

Luo Wei can barely be classified as Cai Dang because he helped Cai Jing carry out the reform of the school system. However, he has been released for a long time, and he is outside the inner circle of the Cai Party, and he does not agree with Cai Jing's other practices.

When Taixue's new school building was completed, Song Huizong ordered the court officials to compose lyrics to celebrate, and Luo Wei's words were rated as the first place, and since then they have been particularly appreciated by the emperor and Cai Jing.

This person is lucky, Zhu Ming died of illness in the year of the rebellion, and he didn't have to go through a series of chaos later.

"Uncle, please come in!" Luo Zhao greeted him warmly.

Luo Congyan followed his cousin into the mansion, talked about his cousin's death, and couldn't help sighing: "In the past few years, there has been a shortage of wars and horses, and I have not been able to make the trip, which is really a regret in my life." ”

He also had a mission this time, which was to record the children and grandchildren of his cousins who had settled in Tokyo and bring them back to his hometown to write them in the family tree.

While the uncle and nephew were chatting, there was a sudden noise outside.

Luo Zhao's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly a servant hurriedly arrived, and said in a panic: "Xianggong, there are a few deposed kings of the former dynasty outside, because of that...... Because the marriage contract is not going to be noisy. ”

"Didn't you say it all? Give me some money and just do it! Luo Zhao said depressedly.

Luo Congyan asked, "What marriage contract?" ”

Luo Zhao replied: "My second mother once promised to the king of the previous dynasty. The three books are missing the welcome book, and the six rites are missing the three rites, even if it is a repentant marriage, it is understandable, who knows that the king of faith is messing around. ”

This is related to the reputation of the Luo family, and Luo Congyan also has the right to speak, he said: "It's better not to regret the marriage." ”

Luo Zhao explained: "Uncle doesn't know, King Xin has two sisters, although they are the prince's wife, but the Luo family had better not be involved. The official family and the crown prince treated the royal family of the previous dynasty well at this time, but what about five or ten years later? Who knows for sure? If one is not good, disaster will come. ”

Luo Congyan said: "People cannot stand without faith. ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The guys in the football club, watching the excitement is not a big deal, actually helped the Zhao brothers hit the door.

And hit the door directly!

They didn't use tools either, they were divided into two or three people and one ancestor, and they took a few steps back and rushed forward with their bodies.

A servant quietly observed, and quickly ran to report: "There are a lot of people outside to watch the excitement!" ”

Luo Zhao suddenly had a headache, so he could only take his uncle to the gate.

As soon as he had the latch removed, a few of the juju players staggered in and rolled into a ball.

"The door is open, the door is open!"

The crowd shouted, becoming more excited.

Zhao Yan ran to Luo Zhao's side in two steps, grabbed the latter's sleeve and asked, "Why do you want to regret your marriage?" ”

Luo Zhao didn't want to be embarrassed, and whispered: "Let's go to the inner house and talk about it, don't let these many people see jokes." ”

Zhao Mo also rushed over and pressed Luo Zhao's shoulder: "Just make it clear here, let the people of Tokyo judge it." Why did your Luo family regret their marriage? ”

"There's something to discuss." Luo Zhao was already anxious, his idea was to give some money to cancel the marriage contract, but he didn't think that the three abolished kings had become a mess.

Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou wanted to be embarrassed, and persuaded beside them: "Go in and talk about it, don't add to the laughing stock." ”

Zhao Yan was afraid that the Luo family would regret it, so he insisted: "Right here, in front of everyone, the Luo family must give an explanation!" ”

Luo Zhao discussed in a low voice: "Half of the three books and six ceremonies are missing, and this marriage contract can be stopped." This matter is indeed a small fault of the Luo family, and all the gifts received can be returned, how about compensation of 500 yuan? ”

Hearing that the compensation had risen to five hundred, Zhao Yan was a little moved, turned his head and asked Zhao Zhen: "What do you think of the eighteenth brother?" ”

Zhao Zhen, who has just come of age, doesn't care about this, he values his face more, and he really fell in love with his fiancée, so he immediately roared angrily: "Don't say 500 guan, even 5,000 guan can't do it!" ”

Luo Zhao was also angry: "Okay, just follow the rules, and wait for me to go back to the house to get the gift book." ”

Zhao Yan and Zhao Mo's faces changed, and they hurriedly persuaded their younger brother: "Forget it, forget it, just pay 500 yuan." ”

The Book of Rites is a part of the Three Books and Six Rites, and to put it bluntly, it is the gift list for the bride.

With Song Huizong's luxury, how can his son be shabby when he gets married?

If you strictly follow the gift list, you have to take out at least tens of thousands of yuan before Zhao Zhen can marry his fiancée. (The bride will also have a large dowry, and although the groom will certainly not lose money, he will have to get the gift first.) ）

"I don't want money!" Zhao Zhen is still making trouble.

Zhao Mo leaned into his brother's ear and said: "The Book of Rites was too expensive at that time, and it was not only a matter of money, but also some rare things that were difficult to buy with money. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned, and her heart was extremely aggrieved.

His identity has become a young man who can't get the bride price!

Zhao Gou had a bad stomach, and deliberately said loudly to Zhao Kai: "The third brother is very good at poetry, and he wrote a poem on the spot to write down the Luo family's regret of marriage." I also have some friends, and I know a few famous characters, so I can ask them to help sing new words. ”

"It's easy to do, it's just a new word." Zhao Kai immediately understood.

This time it is Luo Zhao's turn to face change drastically, if the matter of repentance of marriage is written and sung in new words, no matter whether the Luo family occupies it or not, this reputation will be ruined in the future.

Luo Congyan finally spoke, first bowing to several deposed kings, and then said, "Everyone, please come in and talk in detail." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go in and talk about it." Luo Zhao echoed.

The brothers glanced at each other, they were pinched by the gift list, and now they don't want to be watched by others.

The Zhao and Luo families reached a consensus and walked towards the inner courtyard together, and the servants of the Luo family began to drive away the onlookers.

Several football players who broke into the gate were reluctantly blown away. They also felt extremely unhappy, and shouted at the top of their throats: "One can't get the dowry, and the other is making a fuss about regretting the marriage, these two can be called half a catty." Hahahaha! ”

"Hahahaha!"

The onlookers also laughed, and finally had gossip to talk about when they went home today.

If this matter spreads, both sides will inevitably lose, and both the Luo family and the Zhao brothers will become laughing stocks.

Zhao Kai faintly heard the words outside the gate, and angrily reprimanded Zhao Gou: "What fox friends do you have?" I didn't help, but I even laughed at my family! ”

Zhao Gou had long seen that Zhao Kai was not used to it, and he angrily replied: "I didn't call it." They didn't do things properly, but they blamed me. Such a bad reputation should be discussed privately and not let others know. ”

Zhao Kai inquired about the details of the football players again: "Those prodigals, what are the children of official eunuchs?" ”

"If it's not the children of the eunuchs, what should I do with them?" Zhao Gou asked rhetorically.

Zhao Kai became silent, and at the same time felt aggrieved.

In the past, these prodigals dared to play with themselves, and he would have let the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City arrest people a long time ago.

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the dragon was trapped in the shallows and was played by shrimp!

When the two sides came to the meeting room, Luo Zhao asked the servant to serve tea and introduced: "This is my uncle, a great Confucian from Fujian, and Jinke Tanhua is his disciple. ”

Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou turned their heads at the same time, and they had completely settled the dispute.

The first class of the new dynasty of the Ming Dynasty represents a special significance, as long as it does not make a big deal in the future, it can also be boiled into the cabinet.

There is really no need to offend the future prime minister's teacher because of a marriage!

Seeing that the Zhao family brothers were shocked, Luo Zhao took the opportunity to double the compensation: "The Luo family is willing to pay a thousand yuan to cancel this marriage contract." ”

Zhao Zhen was very axial, and the young man fought for face: "I don't want compensation!" I will raise the dowry on the letter. If one year is not enough, two years will be raised, and if two years is not enough, three years! ”

Luo Zhao reminded: "According to the law, if the marriage is not completed for three years from the date of the letter of appointment, the marriage contract can be cancelled. There is only half a year left. ”

Zhao Zhen heard of this kind of rule for the first time, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Eighteen brothers, forget it." Zhao Yan said in a low voice.

Zhao Zhen was sullen and buried her head and didn't speak.

Luo Zhao asked people to bring a basket of copper coins, wrote a deed to cancel the marriage contract, signed it himself, and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Gou felt that he couldn't be suppressed all the time, and he had to work hard to get back face, so he pointed to the baskets of copper coins and said: "These are too heavy to move, we only need silver dollars!" ”

"Yes, just a silver dollar!" Zhao Kai hurriedly said.

In addition to doing this, the two of them had no other means, and even a branch of the Luo family could bully them.

Luo Zhao had to take out the silver dollar, and the two sides quickly signed and drew a pledge, sending the Zhao brothers away like a plague god.

The brothers left Luo's house and found that there were still people waiting outside.

As soon as they went out, they heard one after another asking:

"Do you still have to get married?"

"How much money did the Luo family lose?"

"You won't really regret your marriage, will you?"

“……”

The brothers were not happy at all when they got the money, knowing that they had become the laughing stock of the people of Tokyo, they called a donkey cart nearby and quickly fled from the city.

After a while, Zhao Gou began to complain: "If something like this happens, how can I go to the Yuanshe to play football?" If you go, you will be laughed at! ”

"I'm embarrassed to meet friends with text!" Zhao Kai also began to nag.

Zhao Yan was already angry, and he was even more angry at the moment: "The marriage of the eighteenth brother can't compare to your face?" Since Prince Zhu led his troops into the city, my Zhao family has long been disgraced! ”

Zhao Gou actually shifted the target, and faced Zhao Kai with a strange yin and yang: "Although our brother is a nobleman of the previous dynasty, he has been in the limelight of the third brother for a few years, and he has enjoyed all the blessings." As a prince, he actually won the high school championship in the imperial examination, from the Ministry of Rites to the examiner, everyone helped cheat......"

"Who said I cheated? Don't spew blood! Zhao Kai was furious.

"Whether there is cheating or not, you know for yourself." Zhao Gou was full of resentment towards Zhao Kai in his heart, and this time he finally planned to vent it all. In order to shoot Zhao Kai's sycophants, he often went to Zhao Kai's mansion to play, not only suffered many times, but also looked at Zhao Kai's seriously violated the palace.

Zhao Kai patted his chest and said: "My champion was tested by ability!" ”

Zhao Gou sneered: "At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he overwhelmed the national talents and won the top prize in one fell swoop." Fools don't believe in this kind of thing! ”

"Say it again?" Zhao Kai pointed to his younger brother.

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Bullying my brother, cheating in the imperial examination, and trying to usurp the throne, it's you!" ”

"I, I, I...... I'll beat you to death! ”

On the bumpy donkey cart, Zhao Kai pounced on Zhao Gou.

The two hugged each other and beat each other, and the coachman heard the movement and quickly stopped moving.

The other three brothers are already stupid, they are here to talk about marriage today, why are the third and ninth children fighting?

The two of them became more and more fierce, rolling down the street from the donkey cart, pinching each other's necks, and the three brothers of Zhao Yan hurriedly pulled and persuaded each other.

Passers-by stopped one after another and ran to watch the princes of the previous dynasty beat each other.
