After thinking about it, thinking about it, the next morning, Zhou Ang still rushed to Jiang Yun and Jiang Bodao's house, and solemnly proposed to ask the other party to propose to Jiang Du's maiden cousin for himself.

Of course, the real proposal requires a lot of complicated processes and etiquette to show the solemnity of the marriage, and the respect for the girl and the girl's family, the so-called "marriage", this is the truth.

But now that Zhou Ang asked Jiang Bodao to come forward, it was not that step for the time being, this can be regarded as a news in advance before proposing, and let the Jiang family and his wife go over and say that everyone has a number in their hearts, and they all have a rough meaning, and there will be a formal proposal.

Marriage, for both parties, involves the children's lifelong affairs, and no family will treat it hastily. Although there was no free love in ancient times, it was either a family that knew each other well, or a matchmaker had to run in the middle, and the two sides had to tug at each other for a few rounds, and secretly sent people to inquire and the like, in short, they had to touch the basic situation before they dared to marry each other.

In fact, the feudal arranged marriage criticized by modern society is not a complete "blind marriage and dumb marriage".

If you hit your head with your head covered, people won't even know who you are, and you will never succeed if you hit your head full of bags.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Zhou Ang agreed to propose to the Du family.

This is a sincere person, and his gratitude to Zhou Ang is indeed from the bottom of his heart, he didn't even wait for another day, Zhou Ang left with his front foot, and he took his wife with him on the back foot and went back to his parents' house.

As a result, something embarrassing came.

Du Mian, the cousin of Mrs. Jiang's Du, faced with the proposal of Jiang Yun, who had always valued him, directly refused - that afternoon, Jiang Yun was not embarrassed to go to Zhou Ang's house to wait, so he directly blocked him on Zhou Ang's way home from work, and when he met, he also looked ashamed, and said, "Foolish brother...... Foolish brother is really ...... Alas......"

To be honest, Zhou Ang was also a little surprised.

There are two reasons for this:

First of all, when Jiang Yun said that he wanted to promote this family affair in the middle, he repeatedly insisted that although Du's family was a little high, at least for a small official like Zhou Ang, and it was a little high, but his wife's uncle once said that if he said for his youngest daughter in the future, he didn't care about any family.

They only care about two things: one is not to marry far away, but to marry locally, which is convenient to take care of, and the other is to require the other party's family background to be innocent, and the new son-in-law should be dignified and worthy of the appearance of other girls.

It stands to reason that these two points are fully in line with the requirements.

The ancestral residence of the Zhou family is in Lingzhou, although his father died early, but now his uncle is a cultural person, the eldest brother is in the county yamen, he is in the county Zhu Yamen, and he eats all public meals, and now he has also purchased a new house, a new car and a horse, barely re-entering the middle-class family, not to mention Zhou Ang's own conditions, it is not too much to praise a young man, and it is natural to praise a handsome and extraordinary appearance.

This is also Jiang Yun's confidence in wanting to promote this family affair and daring to go to the Du family to propose marriage.

The second reason is that according to the news inquired by the eldest brother Zhou Ye, Du Mian's eldest daughter married farther away in her early years, and although it has been many years, if you inquire carefully, you can still find out that his eldest daughter is not a prominent family. It is said that the other party's family is also white, and he has no official position.

You must know that his eldest daughter is a grandmother, and she is the eldest daughter in the family, in this era of marriage, the quality of her marriage is directly related to the range of choices of the following sisters - the eldest sister of the grandmother is a sample, and the younger sister of the concubine is unlikely to marry a better than the elder sister, otherwise the Du family will have a restless house.

The same is probably true of the influence of the eldest brother's wife on the younger brothers.

Not to mention, the current customs of the Tang Dynasty already pay attention to high marriage and low marriage.

The combination of the two aspects, and there is another Jiang Yun who knows both sides well, and Zhou Ang is moved, and he also feels that he has a certain degree of confidence in getting this wife back.

Otherwise, he would not agree to Jiang Yun to speak.

However, I didn't expect that I still broke the halberd a little and sank into the sand.

Hearing the news, Zhou Ang was a little puzzled, and felt a little slapped in the face, so he asked what the reason was.

Jiang Yun is an honest man, he talked for a long time, and in the end he said helplessly: "It's still ...... Mendi!"

There is no solution to this.

Back then, I guess I was also open-minded, I felt that the family was not a family, it didn't matter, anyway, my family was not short of money, as long as I found someone with an innocent family background, I really lacked money, so I would give more dowry, and my daughter would have more say at home, but ...... Now that people have changed their minds, what can you do?

But this one is really a bit of a slap in the face.

Fortunately, this matter is at most limited to Du Mian, Jiang Yun, and his own family, if Guo Yuan is as strict as he promised, this matter should not reach the ears of outsiders, so even if it is embarrassing, it is only in a small area.

And this is definitely not the fault of Jiang Yun and his wife, they are out of kindness and want to help Zhou Ang get a good match, according to the previous situation, there is indeed a great possibility of success, and the result is ...... Zhou Ang first pretended to smile and laugh at himself, and then had to comfort Jiang Yun, an honest man, in turn.

"Brother Bodao, why does the eldest husband have no wife?

Having said that, Jiang Yun still couldn't stand on his feet, and after confessing his guilt again, he left in shame.

Zhou Ang stood in place for a long time.

What are some ...... It's hard to settle!

That's it, looking at Jiang Yun's look of not knowing how to say it just now, the word "door" should have been the result of his extreme generalization, and it is a very "neutral" expression, it is estimated that what Du Mian said to him at that time should not be a simple sentence "The other party's door is too low" or something like that.

"Although our family is not a high-ranking eunuch, I am handsome! Why don't you send someone to inquire?"

To tell the truth, Zhou Ang actually had a lot of hesitation about whether to send someone to propose marriage and whether to conform to the times to come to such a "blind marriage and dumb marriage", and for the other party, this Miss Du's lady, has no real understanding, let alone anything like and love, so naturally there is no expectation or expectation.

But now, being directly rejected by others, Zhou Ang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

On the contrary, he remembered in his heart - this Miss Du family said that she was very good-looking, how beautiful is she? Isn't it particularly beautiful, so her father will regret it again and want to pick on the other party?

It's just that he returned to the carriage and ordered Lu Chunsheng to continue to catch up with the carriage all the way home, along the way, all kinds of ideas fought in his head, but in the end, Zhou Ang still sighed: Forget it!

If you don't make it, you can't do it!

It's just a small loss of face, I've never met before, I have no feelings, because I'm not convinced, but I think about it, and I want to go to someone's house to see, it's really narrow-minded.

So when he got home, had dinner, and sat down with Zhou Cai, Zhou Zi and the family to eat, Zhou Ang talked about it and told his mother that the matter had failed.

Zhou Caishi sighed, but didn't ask anything, and smiled for a moment: "That's it! Our family is not as good as others!"

However, Zhou Zihe was full of resentment about what happened to his brother, and pouted angrily, sulking for a while, and couldn't help but say: "It's that they are not blessed!

Zhou Ang laughed.

............

"Brother Ziyi, the more you write recently, the better you write, and you have made great progress!"

"That's because your handwriting is good!"

"Hahahaha......"

In the office room, two people laughed.

Today's leisure, busy with a few days of various investigations, did not get anything everyone wanted, gradually, at least on the surface, began to relax, so in the office, began to have some popularity. Pushing pai gow, drinking tea, practicing words, everyone rests for a while.

It's just that the informants in the secret continue to tense their nerves.

The matter of the Lin family and the soul dementorship is extremely harmful in itself, and the things involved are quite sensitive, since it was personally explained by Taizhu Temple, from the county Zhu Yamen to the county Zhu Yamen, they dare not ignore it.

For Zhou Ang, it is heartwarming to be looked down upon, but it has not suffered any substantial damage, at best, it is just a small blow to his self-esteem. He is not a very generous person, but he is not so small as to be rejected, so when he wakes up from sleep, he deliberately looks for something to make himself happy to do, and after a day or two, this matter slowly fades in his heart.

He had no task and the weather was hot, so he really didn't go out in the morning, lazily nestled at home, and finished reading the little "table" left in the "Book of Han" that he borrowed last time.

At noon, he passed ahead of schedule as usual, and went to the yamen to eat, and finally there were people gathered in the official room, and he didn't go to look at the files, so he chatted with everyone, praised Wei Ci's words, and was surprised to sigh that Zhao Zhong didn't drink today, and even went over to watch for a while to push pai gow.

It's so pleasant, it's time to leave work in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ang and a few others who had a local residence, after getting off work, they swayed and chatted leisurely, and walked out, and when they arrived at the door, they each said goodbye.

As for Lu Jin, he is a newcomer, and he has a lot of work at night, so he still has to sleep on the side of the yamen as usual today.

However, Zhou Ang got into the carriage driven by Lu Chunsheng to pick him up, and walked out not far away, but a fat-headed and big-eared person suddenly flashed on the side of the road, hugged the carriage and shouted, almost startling the horse.

Lu Chunsheng was startled and hurriedly reined in his horse, and immediately became furious.

Zhou Ang had already jumped out of the car, and looked at Mr. Lu who was kneeling in front of him holding the wheel in surprise, "What's the matter? Another fox demon is looking for you, and he wants to take revenge on you?"
