Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During the Spring Festival, the government offices also have a five-day holiday, but today is already the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the officials have to sit down to serve as directors. In fact, there is no urgent official business at the beginning of the new year, so they just click on the Mao to show off, and dismiss the office at the end of the day.  Zeng Yu and Si Xi followed Huang Touyi directly to the back hall of Nanya. After waiting for about two seconds, they saw the prefect Lin Guangzu coming in with a swollen belly. His face was full of spring breeze, but he was smiling without saying a word. He looked Zeng Yu up and down and looked at him.  Zeng Yu was so frightened that he had to bow again and said: "I don't know what to teach the students here when I have called them here?" Magistrate Lin finally said: "Zeng is blessed with double happiness. It is a joy to congratulate him -" Zeng Yu didn't know where the joy came from.  , and it was a double happiness. Good fortune and misfortune depended on it. I had to be cautious and listened quietly to Magistrate Lin's words. He only heard Magistrate Lin say: "Years ago, there was a big bandit under Shangrao City. General Qi and Mr. Xu Wenchang listed you as the first in military merit."  , Hu Butang has reported the battle report and merit request to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, and the imperial court will issue awards soon. Zeng Sheng will become famous all over the world. "Zeng Yu respectfully said: "The students are all cultivated by the government." Lin.  The prefect was very happy. Zeng Yu was a scholar in Guangxin Prefecture, that is, he was Lin Guangzu's disciple. Zeng Yu was famous. Of course, he, the official of Guangxin Prefecture, had a good face. Moreover, Zeng Yu was obviously knowledgeable. He nodded and twisted his beard.  He said: "You are an outstanding talent in our Guangxin Mansion. You have made great achievements in building up the vitality and helping the people. When the imperial court's commendation order comes, I will also reward you generously." Zeng Yuchang bowed and said: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace.  "Is this double happiness?" Magistrate Lin was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Zeng Sheng, I heard that many matchmakers tried to persuade you but they were chased away by you." Mr. Zeng Yu was so surprised.  How do you still know about this? He replied: "Your Excellency, this is indeed the case. The students are disturbed by those women every day and cannot study peacefully, so I persuade them to go back with good words." Magistrate Lin smiled "haha" and asked  : "Has Zeng Sheng already fallen in love with someone, or has he made a marriage arrangement since he was a child?" Hearing Magistrate Lin's question, Zeng Yu couldn't help but think of Lu Miaoxiang and Miss Yingzi. Lu Miaoxiang was his crush, and Miss Yingzi had a private relationship with him.  The relationship was really confusing. Regarding Lu Miaoxiang, Zeng Yu knew in his heart that it would be difficult for this relationship to have a final destination. As for Miss Yingzi, Mr. Yan Er's letter had clearly stated that it was impossible. Although the young master Shao Qing was in trouble,  Zeng Yu is very confident in being his brother-in-law, but Zeng Yu himself has little confidence. Maybe he is not very enthusiastic about marrying Miss Yingzi. After all, Yingzi is still a young girl, and what he really likes is his aunt¡ª¡ª  ¡°The students are not engaged.  "Of course Zeng Yu could only answer like this." Magistrate Lin twisted his beard and smiled: "Zeng Sheng is a rare thing to live in. How about I come here to help you with matchmaking?"  "Zeng Yu was surprised. On the way to the government office, he asked Huangtouyi why the government official called him, but Huangtouyi said he didn't know. So when he suddenly heard that Magistrate Lin was going to act as a matchmaker for him, he was naturally surprised and worried.  , I don¡¯t know which woman Magistrate Lin is fighting for him. This is a life-long matter. How can we let Magistrate Lin make the decision? Although Magistrate Lin said that the matchmaker should be the daughter of a rural eunuch, gentry, but family background is not the most important. If someone has bad temper,  Well, if he is just being pretentious and unkind, then his life will be ruined and his mother and Niuniu will be offended. How can this be done? Magistrate Lin saw that Zeng Yu did not show joy on his face but looked embarrassed. He was a young scholar.  He was really ignorant, but Magistrate Lin was not shy at all and said with a smile: "There are people from the Dazhen Mansion in Longhu Mountain today, what do you think Zeng Sheng is doing?  Zeng Yu said: "Students don't know, please ask the governor to make it clear."  " Magistrate Lin stared at Zeng Yu and said, "Zeng Sheng, don't try to hide anything from me.  Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "How dare the student deceive the governor? The student really doesn't know why the people from the Dazhen Palace are here." Magistrate Lin smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and said: "Last time, there were three Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain who preached to you at Xingye."  I recognize Taoist Master Tongchen, but who are the other two?" Zeng Yu replied: "One is the student's friend, Taoist Yu Xuan, and the other -" Speaking of Zhang Guangwei, Zeng Yu hesitated for a moment, but  Seeing the expression on Magistrate Lin's face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart: "Prefect Lin said he wanted to be a matchmaker for me, could it be Zhang Guangwei?" Before Zeng Yu could think too much, he heard Magistrate Lin ask: "Zeng Sheng, another  Who is it?" Zeng Yu had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Your Majesty, that little fairy is a relative of Master Zhang. Her name is natural." Magistrate Lin said deliberately: "It turns out that I am a relative of Master Zhang. I am really neglecting her."  Then asked: "Zeng Sheng, how did you get to know her?"  " Magistrate Lin wanted to get to the bottom of it. Zeng Yu replied: "The student met the little natural fairy last year at the old Master Yuangang of the Great Shangqing Palace.  " Magistrate Lin nodded and said: "Zeng Sheng, this Miss Zhang treats you very well. She traveled hundreds of miles in the ice and snow to deliver messages to you. Don't let her down -" Zeng Yu didn't know how to answer.  I heard Magistrate Lin say again: "Zeng Sheng, you should know what to do now.  " Zeng Yu really didn't understand, so he said respectfully: "Please let me know clearly.  " "What do you want me to say clearly?  Magistrate Lin smiled and said: "Hurry up and propose marriage to Dazhen Mansion in Shangqing Town. A good match is rare."  "What I was thinking in my mind was: "You are a young scholar who has climbed a high tree. The Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is no worse than the Ming Dynasty vassal king. He has always married relatives of the emperor and high-ranking officials. Marrying a scholar should be the first of its kind.  Go back, I really don't know in which life a scholar like you has achieved such blessings." Thinking this, he said to the servant standing aside: "Go and invite Butler Zhang and Taoist Yu Xuan to come.  " After a while, Taoist Yu Xuan and a steward in his fifties came to the back hall to salute Magistrate Lin. Magistrate Lin smiled and said: "Steward Zhang, as you all know about Zeng Sheng's family background, I have also asked about it.  , the Zeng family originates from Sanliao, Xingguo, and can be said to be a well-established and famous family. Zeng Sheng is even more handsome and academically advanced. He is just around the corner to be named on the yellow list. He can be called a good match for Miss Zhang - Zeng Sheng, when will you leave?  If you go to Shangqing to propose marriage, just discuss it with Butler Zhang and the others.  " Magistrate Lin left the back hall, leaving Zeng Yu, Steward Zhang and Taoist Yu Xuan to discuss matters. Zeng Yu met with Steward Zhang and Yu Xuan. Zeng Yu met this steward at the couplet meeting in Dazhen Mansion last year.  I was a little impressed, so I politely said: "Butler Zhang, can you please come to the humble residence to have a detailed discussion?  "This happy event came so suddenly, Zeng Yu was a little confused. The familiar image of Zhang Guangwei suddenly became blurry and unfamiliar. He had always regarded Zhang Guangwei as a friend. The white-faced and short-nosed Butler Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng  , I won¡¯t go to your mansion now. There will be many opportunities to visit you in the future. I will ask Mr. Zeng to set a date for going to Shangqing today, so that I can rush back and reply.  "Zeng Yu looked at Taoist Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan didn't speak much, just smiled. Zeng Yu didn't know if this was the rule of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain. The woman's family members were not allowed to come to the man's house before asking for marriage. Does this seem reserved?  But Zhang Guangwei had already been to his house years ago - Zeng Yu said: "Then go outside to find a restaurant and sit down to talk in detail, please, please.  " Zeng Yu told Si Xi to go back to his house first. He held a banquet in a restaurant on Fuqian Street in honor of Butler Zhang and Taoist Yu Xuan. Zeng Yu really didn't understand the rules and etiquette of marriage proposal. He sincerely asked Butler Zhang for advice. It was tentatively scheduled to be after the Lantern Festival.  On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zeng Yu set out for Guixi. He first visited Guixi Zhouzhi County, and then asked Zhouzhi County to accompany him to the Dazhen Mansion in Shangqing to propose marriage. Butler Zhang also explained some rules and etiquette, and Zeng Yu remembered them one by one.  After this, Butler Zhang fell silent and looked at Taoist Yu Xuan, who seemed hesitant to speak. Yu Xuan was still smiling and did not speak much. Zeng Yu said: "If you have any concerns about things that are not thorough, please ask Butler Zhang for advice.  " Butler Zhang wrinkled his short nose and said repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you.  After hesitating for a moment, he said to Taoist Yu Xuan: "Brother Yu Xuan, it's up to you to decide whether you have a good relationship with Mr. Zeng or not."  "Taoist Yu Xuan's smile did not diminish and he said: "I am just here to accompany Butler Zhang, and it is all up to Butler Zhang to make the decision.  " Butler Zhang laughed and scolded: "You are a flowery Taoist priest, don't pretend to be honest here, you and Mr. Zeng explain it, I will go to the latrine.  "With that said, he left the table and left. Zeng Yu leaned his head and asked Yu Xuan: "Brother Taoist, please tell me quickly, don't let me show my shame when the time comes.  " Butler Zhang was not here, so Yu Xuan looked much more relaxed and said with a smile: "How can you act so good and ugly, my dear brother? No, no, I can no longer call you my dear brother. What should I call you?  " Taoist Yu Xuan stopped smiling and looked troubled. His master, Taoist Master Dongzhen, was one generation shorter than Zhang Guangwei. After Zeng Yu married Zhang Guangwei, wouldn't he have been two generations shorter than Zeng Yu? How could he continue to call him "good brother"  "Proportionately¡ª¡ª" Zeng Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Ignore these for now, brother Taoist, please give me some advice."  " Taoist Yu Xuan said: "For others, it is a problem, but for Xiandi, it is not really a problem.  Zeng Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Yu Xuan, why are you so unhappy? You can tell me what happened."  " Taoist Yu Xuan smiled and said: "My dear brother actually knows this. Hasn't the little fairy been determined to practice Taoism since she was a child and refuses to get married? That's the thing, hehe.  ¡± Zeng Yu was dumbfounded. He did know this. The last time Yan Shifan went to the Shangqing Dynasty to ask for divination, Zhang Yongxu, the real person of the Sijiao, intended to betroth Zhang Guangwei to Yan Shifan¡¯s son. Zhang Guangwei refused to obey. At that time, Zhang Guangwei also asked him for advice. Later, Master Yuan Gang  Presuming that Yan Shifan would never find a good home, Zhang Yongxu gave up - Zeng Yu was stunned for a long time and said: "Miss Guangwei refuses this time, right? Then if I go to propose marriage, won't I be in trouble?  " Taoist Yu Xuan said happily: "Little Fairy Aunt is telling you - hey, don't worry, Little Fairy Aunt's elders just think favorably of you. Your parents have ordered a matchmaker. Just go ahead and ask for your hand in marriage. Asking for immortality and getting married and having children.  It's not inconsistent. Didn't the Ancestral Master also pass down his descendants to this day? The little fairy girl will understand this truth. This requires the wise brother to convince her personally, hehe.  " Taoist Yu Xuan smiled a little obscenely, and Zeng Yu also laughed. At this time, Butler Zhang came back. After looking at the expressions of Yu Xuan and Zeng Yu, he knew that he had said everything he needed to say, so he said: "Mr. Zeng, that villain will go there now.  Master Lin replied and left for Dazhen in the afternoon.The government is back.  ¡± Zeng Yu accompanied Butler Zhang and Yu Xuan to the government office. Magistrate Lin asked Butler Zhang to bring a letter to Zhouzhi County, Guixi. Zeng Yu went to the dock to see the two of them on the boat back to Shangqing. When he returned to his house outside the north gate  , it was already dusk, and my sister Zeng Ruolan and her family did not return to Zhujiafan because they heard from Sixi that the prefect Lin was working as a matchmaker for Zeng Yu, so they were all waiting for news about her poor health recently. I'm sorry.
