Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 52, Another Wave of Matchmakers

The Marquis of Nanyang and the Marquis of Qinghe were fully prepared. A big boat was parked at the pier of the canal. Luan Zhiping, who had received the letter in advance, was waiting on the pier early. The three of them came directly to Sanbao County. The big boat brought gifts, including those from the Qi family. Dowry gift, it is very convenient to take off the matchmaker gift and bring it with you.

Guo Chang accepted the gift of thanking the matchmaker and felt the urgency of Lord Hou. Regardless of the heat, a group of people mounted their horses and headed for Xinji Town.

On the way, Mr. Guo was as happy as a bird, and his relationship with Nanyang Houfu was one step closer.The Marquis of Nanyang couldn't be happier. The matchmaker he originally invited was either the prince of the protector of the country or the eldest princess of Dayi.

This marriage was originally forced by Yun Zhan, and the Marquis of Nanyang knew that Yun Zhan was a high-ranking official and Luan Jing had done something wrong, so Yun Zhan most likely would not agree.

Mrs. Hou came to the door early to give a heavy gift. This is an early matchmaking gift. Can Yun Zhan not understand?

But he just accepted the gift without mercy. After Yun Zhan returned to Beijing, the Marquis of Nanyang came to visit him.

Seeing that the new collection is approaching, both Nanyanghou and Qinghehou have regrets.

The county magistrate of Sanbao was named Zhu Ming. He was born as a poor scholar. Before Zhongju, he made a living by farming. He went to the countryside every year, squatting in the field and chatting with old farmers.

Seeing Xia Harvest's harvesting of each acre of land, Zhu Ming, who was holding a handful of full ears of wheat, laughed happily, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Putting his hand on his forehead, Zhu Ming looked into the distance to see if it would rain, not to affect the undried crops, but also to see how much gold was left in the field in the distance, even if the undried crops were harvested Better than retting in the ground.

On the long official road, there is a team of nearly a hundred people, and the attendants on horseback are surrounded by two large sedan chairs, both of which are official sedan chairs carried by eight people.

Zhu Ming was taken aback. There were eight official sedan chair bearers. As far as he knew, there were only two adults in this province. My lord, in the system of this dynasty, the chief envoy is in charge of the province, and the procurator is responsible for the criminal name and law and order of the province. If it is true that these two lords go to the countryside together, there is only one possibility, and that is that something big happens in the local area. for bad.

"Ah yo!"

Zhu Ming yelled, and turned to tell his entourage, the old squad leader Yue in Sanbao County: "Go and see if the lord in the sedan chair is a passing lord, or a lord from our province?"

Old Bantou Yue is about 50 years old, he is full of energy and his eyes are still sharp. I had a back injury when I was young, and riding a horse is different from others, that’s right, my lord, this is the adults from our province who have come to the countryside.”

Mr. Yue had been on duty in Sanbao County for decades, and Mr. Zhu was transferred from other places. If you want to talk about the officials of the province, Mr. Yue knew better than Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Ming's heart continued to sink, and he quickly checked the recent business affairs in his mind. He found no major mistakes, and he still couldn't feel at ease.

Until a horse galloped over, the person on the horse shouted loudly: "Hey! Is that Master Zhu in front? Master Niu and Master Huang from the province have arrived."

Zhu Ming put away his wild thoughts and ran over with the yamen servants. The curtain of the sedan chair parked on the official road opened, revealing the white and fat Mr. Niu and the dark Mr. Huang. They really were them.

Zhu Ming was already up and down and his heart was beating violently, but Mr. Niu and Mr. Huang were all kind and cordial, and greeted him: "We have something to see you, this is your temporary yamen, where can you sit down?" say something."

"The humble official rests in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village."

"Where are you going?"

Zhu Ming led the way in front, and the old team leader Yue came over and said in a low voice: "I just asked the team leader Yao, and he said that he didn't know why the two adults went to the countryside, but he said it should be a good thing. The two adults left the province. There was a smile on my face when I was in the car, and I didn’t look angry on the road.”

"I see." Zhu Ming agreed, but what was uncontrollable in his heart was still running wild thoughts, and the anxiety was like a wild horse running wild.

A few yamen servants went back to the ancestral hall to make arrangements. Master Niu and Master Huang walked in. Seeing that the tables and chairs were newly polished, and the tea was served immediately, the two boasted: "You are welcome in your county," and said : "It's better to sit down and talk, the others back down."

The Eight Immortals table was placed in the middle, and behind it was a long table and wall, which was just convenient for Master Niu and Master Huang to sit down one by one. Zhu Ming sat down on the first chair according to their instructions, so that just the closest.

"Mr. Yuan is alright?" Mr. Niu said cheerfully.

After decades of hard teaching, Yuan Tianjin is undoubtedly a great Confucian in this area. The province is a big place, and there are still many people who are not convinced. There are also many people who are more famous than Yuan Tianjin throughout the country. , no one shakes the status of the Yuan family.

It is not surprising that Mr. Niu knows that there is Yuan Tianjin. In the few years after Yuan Tianjin moved to Xinji, when the successive county officials of Sanbao returned to the province every year, they talked about the local cultural deeds of their hometown. into this person.

Therefore, the authorities are obsessed with the old man's attitude of waiting for death every year, every month, every day, which is actually a bit ridiculous.

If there is no one to protect him, and Dou Wanfu and others are still in the officialdom, even if they have the same name, they can still find Yuan Tianjin, who is quite famous.

Mr. Niu used Yuan Tianjin as the opening remark to let Zhu Ming relax. He smiled and said, "I went to see him on the Dragon Boat Festival this year. The old man is in good health, very tough."

"That's good." Master Niu and Master Huang laughed.

Zhu Ming felt that this smile was a bit strange, could it be said that it seemed to be caring, or worried about Mr. Yuan's health?

He didn't ask, since Shangguan is here, they should ask questions.

Master Huang asked: "How are the children of his family?"

"Okay. His family's elders and third masters are all outside. I haven't heard that it's not easy. The second master, Yuan Lian, plans to continue to end next year and study at home every day."

"Okay." Master Niu and Master Huang smiled again in a calm manner.

The strange feeling came from their smiles more and more, Zhu Ming still tried to capture the source of this weirdness, but failed.

Master Niu asked again: "I heard that the girls of the Yuan family are still studying?"

"Yes, the eldest daughter of the first house and the eldest daughter of the second house are all in Xinji School." Zhu Ming felt a slight light in front of his eyes, as if he could grasp the reason why the adults went to the countryside in the hottest weather.

"Okay." Master Niu and Master Huang smiled again, this time they looked at each other, Master Niu smiled and said, "I remember the girl is [-] or [-] this year?"

"This, I don't know about this." Zhu Ming replied calmly.

He refused to easily mention Yuan Xiu and Yuan Hui's names in his reply. Although the adults are the elders of a province, Sister Xiu and Sister Hui are girls.Not to mention mastering age?
Master Niu didn't take offense, but still smiled happily: "Let me tell you, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family is 14 years old this year, and her birthday is in March. Her horoscope? Of course I don't know, a matchmaker doesn't necessarily need to know her horoscope."

　This book is going to be V, and try to write as many public articles as possible for everyone to read, but I haven't figured out which chapter to put on the shelves.

　　If the card is put on the shelves where the two waves of matchmakers came, ha, how about it?
