Datang Nongwang

Chapter 789

The front hall of the house.

The old lady was looking at the little lady on the left with a smile on her face.

Although she didn't say a word, the old lady had a judgmental look, which made the little lady very shy, her head drooped, her face was red with white, and white with red.

The old lady was secretly happy, "The little lady of the Zhou family looks like a juicy girl, fair and beautiful, with a gentle temperament. She is really a good lady, but she doesn't know how to manage the housework." '

It was the first time for the old lady to see the little lady of the Zhou family, she was really attracted to her, at least she looked good at the moment, and she was satisfied in her heart.

This little lady of the Zhou family, the old lady didn't know her before, and she had never seen her before.

As for the parents of the young lady of the Zhou family, the old lady knows and has seen them.

The Zhou family is not a small family, but it is not a big family either.

Even, the person in charge of the Zhou family is only a fifth-rank official, not even a title.

Logically speaking.

The old lady wanted to find a young lady for Li Chongyuan, and the identity of the other party was one with a title, otherwise it would be a bit of a mismatch.

But at Li Chongyuan's age, and having offended so many people in Beijing (it should be said that there are many people in Beijing who are unhappy with Li Chongyuan), it is really not that easy to find a suitable lady.

The little lady's father wanted both a high title and a high official position, and he had to be someone who had never participated in Li Chongyuan's performance. It was almost impossible for him to occupy these three.

If you put aside the matter of participating in the concert, there are quite a few young ladies who can be found.

Isn't there anything in the military profession?
Of course there are.

But then again.

The old lady thought that her husband was a civil servant, so she always hoped that her sons would also follow a civil servant, and didn't want to get close to those generals.

They even prevented Li Chongyuan and his brothers from becoming generals.

It's not that the old lady has any resentment towards the general, but because of her husband.

and so.

Naturally, if the old lady wanted to find a young lady for Li Chongyuan as a wife, she would definitely look for someone from the civil service line, and would not choose a military officer line.

But among the civil servants in Beijing, it can be said that there are basically few who do not join Li Chongyuan.

It can be said that it is difficult and difficult to find a suitable young lady among the civil servants.

As for the father of Miss Zhou in front of me, this is not a Beijing official, but an official sent to a local area, and this is how the scene in front of me came about.

The old lady looked at the little lady in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she felt very satisfied.

Even Lin Caishu, who was sitting by the side, was very satisfied with seeing the young lady Zhou, and she repeatedly whispered to the old lady, "Mother, the young lady of the Zhou family is dignified and gentle, and she is worthy of the fourth brother. She is too thin. But it doesn't matter, the first half of the year will definitely give birth to a fat boy for the fourth brother."

"It doesn't matter if you are thin, you were also thin when you married here." The old lady replied.

When it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law at the moment, the skinny little lady is really not popular.

No matter whether it is an official family or a commoner, basically they don't like thin little ladies.

At least, as long as a child is good or not, the skinny little lady can be thrown aside.

after all.

At present, the main purpose of marrying a young woman to go home is to have a child, pass on the family line, and continue the incense.

Therefore, marrying a daughter-in-law nowadays is generally a plump one.

If the butt is big, it is even more popular.

The old lady was criticizing the young lady of the Zhou family, but the young lady of the Zhou family was very shy and didn't know how to deal with herself.

On the other hand, the woman sitting next to the little lady, seeing the old lady and the others were listening to each other, with a smile on her face all the time.

This woman is the mother of the young lady of the Zhou family.

Along with them, there are several close relatives of the Zhou family.

of course.

The most indispensable thing is the official matchmaker.

This is not.

The official matchmaker sitting in the lower place saw the old lady and the others listening to each other, smiled, got up and gave a salute, and then complimented: "Mrs. Xiangjun, Miss Zhou is a lovely person. The neighbors all praise the little lady of the Zhou family. Okay, that's good. Madam Xiangjun, you have also seen that Miss Zhou is basically the same as what I said. Although she is thinner, Miss Zhou has definitely a good character. Moreover, I also respect Madam Xiangjun's instructions, With the horoscopes of the birthdays of Prince Li and Mrs. Zhou, I met with the master of Xingshan Temple. If Mrs. Xiangjun is satisfied, why don't you let Li Jun return to the mansion quickly, and then I, the matchmaker, can also drink Prince Li's A glass of wedding wine."

The official matchmaker is a serious civil servant.

They eat official meals and receive imperial salaries, although they are not much, but once these official matchmakers make a connection, the old money of the red wedding month will definitely be more than their salaries.

If you want to become an official matchmaker, it is not something you can do if you want to.

In an era like this, context is key.

Without any background, let alone such an official matchmaker, even if you go to a certain mansion to get some night fragrance, there is no way.

In addition to the key background, you must be well-informed, have a sweet mouth, and be familiar with a set of procedures for leading the red line, and you must be able to read and break characters.

same.

You have to have a relationship with some masters in temples and temples.

After all, combining horoscopes is very popular nowadays, if there is no fate, even if you are an official matchmaker, if you take the horoscopes of both parties' birthdays and go to a temple to find a master to combine horoscopes, people may not respond to you.

The birthday horoscope is the four-pillar horoscope, also known as the Ziping technique.

Whether it is ancient people or modern people.

Calculating numerology and other metaphysics, these four pillars and eight characters are the most accurate.

Some people will say that you are talking about metaphysics.

However, the four-pillar horoscope has been developed and applied for thousands of years in the great river of Chinese history. This is something that cannot be explained by science, and it is also a culture recognized by Chinese people.

As soon as the official matchmaker told Li Chongyuan to return home quickly, the young lady of the Zhou family immediately blushed again.

However, Miss Zhou also wants to see Li Chongyuan at this moment.

All kinds of rumors in the city of Chang'an have long made these boudoir girls fall in love with them.

Not only the little lady of the Zhou family admired Li Chongyuan when she heard the rumors about Li Chongyuan's deeds in Chang'an City, even the little ladies of the ordinary people in Chang'an City also admired Li Chongyuan after hearing about it, and they always fantasized in their hearts that they could be with Li Chongyuan. How is Li Chongyuan?

As far as what Li Chongyuan has done these years, it is really shocking.

What kind of Huaishan saves the people of Fenzhou.

What repairs the waterlogged water for the benefit of the people.

Why build a reservoir and stop flooding for a hundred years.

Why take office as a supervisory censor and abolish corrupt officials in Yangzhou.

Why take office as governor of Yangzhou to promote water conservancy and benefit the people.

What is it to build a huge boat with one's own wealth and travel tens of thousands of miles away, explore new continents in the world, find high-yielding grain seeds, and so on.

In short.

There were all sorts of rumors about Li Chongyuan in the various workshops in Chang'an City, which couldn't be contained in baskets.

This also made those little ladies wish to see Li Chongyuan immediately after hearing all kinds of rumors about Li Chongyuan.

but.

For these, Li Chongyuan did not know.

Here at home.

The old lady chatted with Miss Zhou's mother's close relatives, and with the help of the official matchmaker, the two sides got closer and closer.

The two parties can't wait to set a date for the two parties immediately and choose a date to get married.

But Li Chongyuan is already the king of the county after all, and he is the second-rank minister of justice. The old lady wants to make the decision directly, but she knows that if Li Chongyuan finds out that she has found a young lady for him, and has made a decision If she chooses a date to get married, she can be sure that Li Chongyuan will run away from marriage.

and so.

Although the old lady wished that Li Chongyuan would marry this young lady of Zhou immediately, it was not good to just do this, and sent someone early to call Li Chongyuan back to the mansion.

Here.

Li Chongyuan got into the carriage and headed towards his home, when he just left the imperial city, Wang Li's carriage rushed over.

"Junwang Li, the Holy Majesty has called you into the palace to discuss matters." After getting off the carriage, Wang Li said bluntly when he saw Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan didn't know, "Is there something urgent for the Holy Spirit?"

"According to the words of the sage, it is not an urgent matter. It is about the map you presented." Wang Li replied.

After Li Chongyuan heard this, he said helplessly: "My aunt told me to go back to the residence quickly for something important, and now the Holy Majesty is calling me again. It seems that I really have no skills at all."

The helpless Li Chongyuan had no choice but to enter the palace with Wang Li.

After entering the palace, I met Li Shimin.

Half an hour later, after solving many of Li Shimin's questions, Li Chongyuan resigned, "Your Majesty, I have important matters to attend to, so I will resign."

"What do you have more important than this map? Just now you said that the Wa Kingdom sent people to Baekje, and the Wa Kingdom is an island country, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The borders of the Qudumei and Yasha Kingdoms are so wide that I Accident. How about sending troops to appease them and bring them into my Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin stopped and said, "

"Your Majesty, whether it is the country of Liugui or the country of Yasha, it is too far away from our Tang Dynasty. Moreover, it is a severely cold place with poor products. There is really no reason to conquer. It’s better to go to the west. Even if you don’t go west, you can go south. Or, take the island country where the Wa country is located.” Li Chongyuan couldn’t go, so he had to continue.

Li Shimin looked at the map again, frowning deeply, "There are islands in the south, it is really inconvenient to control. The Wa Kingdom is only one sea away from Baekje and Silla, and it is only one sea away from my Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty wants to conquer the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom will definitely try its best to stop it, and there is no reason to send troops."

"Your Majesty, it's just a reason, just look for it. Although the country of Wa is an island country, as far as I know, the country of Wa produces silver, and it can't be dug out for hundreds of years." Li Chongyuan seduced.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that Japanese-made silver could not be dug out for hundreds of years, "Really?"

"I just heard about it. According to rumors, someone picked up open-air silver mounds in the direction of Linsilla, Wa Kingdom. After hearing the news, the pirates took a group of people to occupy the place and dig silver mines by themselves. But later someone It was only because he ran out with Yin Yin that there was such a rumor." Li Chongyuan continued to seduce.

Li Shimin's eyes became brighter after hearing this, "Is the news true?"

"This minister can't confirm it. How about I find some people to inquire about it?" Li Chongyuan replied.

Li Shimin didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Chongyuan asked to resign again, "Your Majesty, I really have something important to go back to the mansion. Auntie sent someone to call me back early in the morning. It has already been an hour and a half. If it is too late, aunt Mother should be in a hurry."

"What is it about your mother that made you so anxious to go home?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Chongyuan didn't hide anything and said: "Aniang said, let me go back to the mansion today to see a young lady."

After Li Shimin first heard it, he realized that Li Chongyuan was not married yet.

but.

Li Shimin didn't speak, but nodded, and then Li Chongyuan bowed and left the palace.

Li Chongyuan, who left the palace, returned to his family soon after.

As soon as Li Chongyuan returned to his home, the butler was waiting outside the gate early, "Little Lang, why did you come back, the old lady has been waiting impatiently."

"The Holy Majesty called me into the palace to discuss something." Li Chongyuan replied.

Back to the original home, came to the front hall.

Li Chongyuan saw a little lady sitting on a chair right away.

As soon as Li Chongyuan entered the front hall, the little lady's almond eyes sparkled, but then she lowered her head shyly.

Li Chongyuan saw that the little lady was beautiful, she was the type he liked.

At least at first glance, it is still in line with the image of a beautiful woman in Li Chongyuan's mind, and she is also the kind of thin and thin lady he is looking for.

After some greetings, Li Chong Yuanan sat on the chair and stared at the little lady left and right. The little lady was so embarrassed that she lowered her head even lower.

On the other hand, the little lady's mother also kept staring at Li Chongyuan at the same time, the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

There is a saying.

The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and the more she sees it, the more she likes it.

Although Li Chongyuan was not her son-in-law yet, she knew that Li Chongyuan had taken a fancy to her daughter when she saw Li Chongyuan staring at her daughter non-stop.

Naturally, she also decided in her heart that this matter was considered a success.

And the official matchmaker also thought so, and even frequently said good things about Miss Zhou to Li Chongyuan.

Inside and outside the words, they all praised the young lady Zhou in front of her as the only one in the sky, and the unparalleled status on the earth.

After a good call, both parties are satisfied.

The old lady was satisfied, and Miss Zhou's mother was satisfied.

Li Chongyuan is also satisfied, except for one thing, that is, from the beginning to the end, the little lady Zhou didn't speak, she lowered her head shyly, occasionally peeking at Li Chongyuan.

Just when both parties are satisfied.

The butler suddenly ran over, came to the old lady and whispered anxiously: "Old lady, someone has come from the palace, and they said it was to announce the decree."

When the old lady heard the decree from the palace, she was very puzzled, so she could only plead guilty and took Li Chongyuan and others to meet the decree.

After the decree is announced.

Embarrassed and unhappy, the old lady returned to the front hall.

But Wang Li held the imperial decree, looked at Li Chongyuan with a smile on his face, and said, "Jun Wang Li, it seems that in a few days, I will have a cup of wedding wine for you."

"Boss Wang, what does your Majesty mean by this! I just got on a blind date, and my Majesty gave me a marriage. How can I make my Majesty unhappy? You have to punish me like this." Li Chongyuan was very unhappy at the moment.
