The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 957 Iceman
"Now that the imperial decree to bestow marriage has been issued, although Jinyu and Sister Xian are not yet married, the previous etiquette still has to go."

Ning knew that Gu Chengyu's parents didn't know much about the rules of the big family, so she wanted to meet the two and discuss the engagement process.

Gu Chengyu smiled helplessly, "Teacher, teacher's wife! It's getting late, so my parents might be worried, so I'll go back home first. I'll let my parents come to your house tomorrow to discuss marriage matters. Both of them are from the countryside. Parents, I may only have a superficial understanding of these things, and I ask the teacher and his wife to give them a lot of advice, so that the matter of engagement will not go wrong, and Miss Yao will not be wronged."

Now that the imperial decree has been issued, it is natural that this matter cannot be delayed.

Otherwise, the Zhen Guo government will feel embarrassed, and they will think that Gu Chengyu is dissatisfied with this marriage.He didn't even show up, and then there was a misunderstanding in vain.

"Yeah! That's fine, how do you know these things, you young man? Naturally, this marriage should be negotiated with your parents."

Liang Zhirui nodded in agreement.

"However, have you thought about the candidate for the Iceman? Although the marriage was proposed by the old man, but the old man is sister Xian's grandfather, so it is not suitable to be an Iceman."

This is a marriage bestowed by imperial decree, so there is no need to find an official matchmaker.It's just that it's better for the iceman to be a respected elder, so this marriage will be more solemn.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, he didn't know many aristocratic wives when he came to the capital, and those who had status were only those few.

"Why don't you ask the old lady of the second senior brother's family to help? You also know that I just came to the capital not long ago, and I don't know much about the wives of the family. When I went to the second senior brother's house before, I felt that the old lady of the Wu family was amiable, sincere and kind. My old lady, what does the teacher think?"

Yin Kun's mother died young, and his wife was not senior enough, so he was not considered.

The old lady of Wu An's family had met Gu Chengyu many times before, and she was very enthusiastic every time I went.Besides, the old lady of the Wu family is still a respectful person of the fourth grade, and her status is barely enough.

Liang Zhirui frowned, a fourth-rank Gongren was still not good enough for the Shangguo government.Going to the Duke's Mansion, those shallow-sighted people don't know how to neglect it!
Originally, it was a happy event to invite the old lady of the Wu family to be an iceman, but the old lady in the Zhen Guogong's mansion is not easy to deal with.

If Mrs. Wu isn't given a good face, this good thing will turn into a bad thing, and finally offend Mrs. Wu's family?
"This time the emperor gave the marriage directly, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion was kept in the dark before. If we don't find a noble Iceman, I'm afraid that the people of the Zhen Guogong's mansion will see him as inferior, and then he will act disgracefully." things come."

Liang Zhirui sighed, and went through all the candidates he knew before in his mind.

"Indeed! Those people in Zhen Guogong's mansion are very snobbish, so it's really inappropriate for the old lady of the Wu family."

Ning couldn't help but worry, her master is now retired.If I want to seek help from noble ladies from aristocratic families who were close before, I don't know if these people can still give me face.

Gu Chengyu was slightly taken aback, but he didn't think so much.He pondered for a moment, and then thought of a suitable candidate.

"Okay, don't worry about this candidate, as long as you wait two more days, this problem will be solved."

Liang Zhirui waved his hand. In fact, he already had a candidate in his mind, and it was Ju Shi, the mother of the Crown Princess.

The father of the Crown Princess Lang's family is Lang Ping, the commander of the capital, and a senior official of the second rank.

After the second prince became the crown prince, the members of the Lang clan felt proud, and now the Lang clan's children and girls were very popular in the capital.

Liang Zhirui thought of her because he had a little friendship with Lang Ping before, if he went to invite her now, Lang Ping would not give him face.

What's more, in two days, the emperor's decree will come down, and their Liang Mansion will definitely become full of people again.

At that time, he will bring up this matter again, so he will naturally have more confidence.

Besides, he is the crown prince's teacher, and Jin Yu is the prime minister of Zhan Shi's mansion, and both of them are assistant ministers of the East Palace. It would be perfect to invite the crown prince's mother.

The prince will still give this face, after all, he is the prince's teacher.

It doesn't matter if they are considered princelings or not.Anyway, they are the auxiliary ministers of the Eastern Palace, and they have already been assigned to the line of the Eastern Palace on the surface.

In the eyes of uninformed officials, they have been inseparable from the East Palace.

In addition, what the emperor was thinking, he and Jinyu couldn't care so much.If you dare not even do this, it would be too aggrieved.

"I don't know who the teacher is interested in?" Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, and I don't know if he and the teacher have the same views.

Liang Zhirui glanced at Gu Chengyu in surprise, did Jinyu also think of a candidate.

Seeing the other party's confident appearance, Liang Zhirui laughed, "Who else? Didn't we just talk about it?"

Gu Chengyu's eyes are bright, it seems that their master and apprentice still have a tacit understanding.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, Ning couldn't help but feel a little anxious if he didn't mention the candidate.

"What charades are you two playing? Tell me who it is?"

"The mother of the Crown Princess!" Gu Chengyu and Liang Zhirui said in unison.

"What? Master, are you sure?" Ning recalled that Master had some friendship with Lang Ping before. Could it be that Master intends to beg Lang Ping?

It's just that they haven't seen each other for so many years, and when the master came to the capital, he just sent someone to send a copy of the soil instrument.The other party even only gave an equivalent gift in return, and I'm afraid they don't plan to associate with them anymore.

It's not appropriate for them to lick their faces and beg again, right?

"Of course! Lang Ping will definitely agree." Liang Zhirui pretended to be mysterious and said with the intention of teasing his old wife.

"Before, you and Lang Ping only met friends through literature, and walked around a few times. Now that we have been away from court for a long time, are you sure you can speak Lang Ping well?"

Although Lang Ping is the commander, he likes to wield swords and guns on weekdays.But he actually prefers to play with words and ink, and he is considered an outlier among generals.

So Lang Ping admired talented people very much, and Liang Zhirui was no worse than contemporary great Confucians.By chance, the two got in touch.

If Ning Shi hadn't had to maintain a good upbringing, she almost wanted to roll her eyes.

After so many closed doors before, has the master still not seen through people's hearts?These people will only add to the icing on the cake, so how can they give timely help?

"Could it be that Jinyu has a solution?" She cast her eyes on Gu Chengyu, thinking that her grandson and son-in-law are more reliable.

Gu Chengyu just smiled and said nothing, thinking it's better to leave the good news to the teacher to announce.

"The teacher can just ask the teacher, and the students will go back first. It's getting late, and there will be a curfew in one hour. The teacher and the teacher have an early rest."

Gu Chengyu saluted the two of them, and then left.

Ning opened her mouth to persuade her to stay, but she thought it was too late, so she gave up!

"Could it be that you two are hiding something from me? Otherwise, why are you so mysterious?" Ning asked suspiciously.

"Today, the emperor himself told Jinyu that he wants me to re-enter the court." Liang Zhirui smiled and did not continue to play tricks.
