Dajin royal family

Chapter 473 Title Anle (Thanks to Fuchen lo for the reward)
On the third day of September, the selection of Zhongzheng scholars was in full swing in Taiyuan. Although it was noisy outside, Jiang Chengxiao was happy to be at ease, because Wang Hong was appointed as the official of the Dazhong during the great court meeting, and the other departments each selected a few four. High-ranking officials serve as auxiliary officials.

Although he knew that there must be an inside story in the Zhongzheng selection of scholars this time, Jiang Chengxiao had no choice but to do so, because starting from the county, the selected scholars were the children of aristocratic families. Even if he intervened, the final result was not what he wanted.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chengxiao concentrated on arranging the marriage between the eighth younger sister and Du Ruming.

Regarding the matter of Princess Du Rumingshang, the ruling and opposition parties said that the king really valued this confidant, Lord Du, and even sent the princess out to win him over.

Of course, many people felt that Du Ruming's family background was not worthy of a princess, even if Shang's princess was a concubine, she was not worthy of it.

Among them, the most clamorous one was the Zheng family in Xingyang. Jiang Chengxiao didn't come forward to explain anything, but just told the Queen Mother about it.

Then, the Queen Mother asked Zheng Renguo to enter the palace to talk for a while.

I heard that Zheng Renguo accidentally fell down the steps when he came out, and since then, I haven't heard anyone say that Du Ruming is not good enough for the princess.

When the eighth princess got married, Jiang Chengxiao personally issued an edict, naming the eighth princess as Princess Anle, with a total dowry worth tens of thousands of gold, and at the same time gifted Princess Anle a house at the newly built Zhaowang Palace.

Lu Huaishen, the imperial historian, wrote a letter at that time, saying: Your Majesty, are we too extravagant, this is not good.The world is uncertain, everything should be kept simple.

Jiang Chengxiao ignored this and suppressed the memorial.Lu Huaishen also came out to brush up his presence, and didn't really intend to challenge King Zhao.

All his attention is now on the Zhongzheng selection.

Because the princess's marriage and Zhongzheng's selection of scholars collided, Taiyuan became very lively.

In comparison, the wedding of the princess is a bit more lively, and ordinary people want to join in the fun.

Many people even inquired about Du Ruming's background, and he was able to honor the princess.

After some inquiries, they discovered that Du Ruming was actually a collateral descendant of Jingzhao Du's family who came out of Wufu.

It caught the attention of the people of Taiyuan!

Isn't this just a mud leg, who can still be a princess?
Well, Du Ruming was very ashamed of this.Before announcing this matter, Du Ruming had approached Jiang Chengxiao in private, and said a lot of grievances. In short, he said that although he came from a low background, he would definitely work hard, fight hard, and never let down Princess Anle's love.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't put any pressure on him, but just told him as an uncle that he must treat Princess Anle well in the future, and if his younger sister was wronged at all, he would definitely use his fists to teach him how to behave.

With Du Ruming's intelligence, he naturally knew that what the king said was because he didn't take the rumors outside to heart and let him feel at ease about the king's affairs.

At that moment, Du Ruming was very moved, and silently vowed in his heart that he must die for the king.

Although the wedding hadn't started yet, the Du Mansion was full of people, with guests both familiar and unknown coming one after another.

Anyone who wasn't an idiot could tell that King Zhao valued Du Ruming and praised him.Although the rank of the minister under the door is not high, his position is important, and he is a confidant of King Zhao. In the future, he must be a county guard in the future. He will be called back in ten years, and the position of the six departments will be secure.

At this time, it's not a familiar face, it's homely, don't you wait for others to make a fortune before adding icing on the cake?
But Du Ruming is not stupid, he knows what these people are here for, so he adheres to the principle of being a guest at the door, tries his best to greet him with tea, and refuses all things involving gold and silver filial piety.

After seeing off the last batch of speculators who came to the door, Du Ruming sat slumped in the yard.

In the past few days, because of the preparations for the wedding, it is extremely busy, and all the officials and colleagues can't drive people away when they come to buy wedding supplies and so on.Being busy, he really wanted to change with Yu Qingze. He would rather supervise the production of silver coins in Taifu Temple.

"Come on, drink some water."

Mother Du handed over a bowl of water, and wiped the sweat off her son's face in distress.

"Hard work mother."

Du Ruming was drinking water, and heard Du's mother say: "This time you are the princess, our family is not as good as it is, it is really high, the queen mother specially rewarded a lot of property, the king and the queen also have rewards, it is not the case, my family How can I entertain guests here."

"Mother is right." Du Ruming nodded and put down the bowl.

His position in the imperial court is not a fat job, and he is not a corrupt person. The income of the mansion depends on such a small salary, barely maintaining the life of the family. If it is not for the many rewards from the king on weekdays, I am afraid that he will be in this city of Taiyuan. It was also very difficult.

Du's mother said seriously: "Although I am a woman, I know that I will repay my kindness. The king treats you so kindly. You must devote yourself to the king's affairs and help the king to share his worries and problems."

"Mother, don't worry, the child will do his best to assist the king."

Hearing this, Mother Du smiled and nodded, but then she was a little worried and said: "The princess is of noble birth, you must remember not to be disrespectful to the princess, if the princess is not used to living here, you can take the princess to the princess Just live in the mansion, don't worry about me and your father."

Then, Mother Du began to chatter habitually, "Your father's carpenter skills are not bad, Nanshi can sell a lot of smart objects, the business is good, and there are forty or fifty renminbi a day, and there is no need for the government to spend everything. Worry"

Du Ruming didn't interrupt his mother either, but just listened with a smile.

He knew about Princess An Le, the two of them passed letters through the maid, and occasionally communicated with each other. He could also see that the princess was not an arrogant and unreasonable person. As long as he treated each other with kindness, the princess would not embarrass her parents.

After a cup of tea, Mother Du babbled a lot.At this moment, the front tooth boy came over and said respectfully: "My lord, there is an old man outside the door who claims to be the grandfather of Jingzhao Du's Sanhe House. This is a greeting card."

After the front tooth finished speaking, he presented a letter with both hands.

Hearing Sanhefang, he immediately knew who was coming, and immediately said to his mother: "Mother, Mr. Mingshan is here."

"Quick, go and meet!"

When Du Ruming was young, his family was poor, and his parents managed to cultivate a few acres of land on the clan land. He was able to study only because of Du Zhi Du Mingshan, the grandfather of Sanhefang.

Although Du Zhi is called the grandfather by Du Ruming, he is not an old man in his 80s or 50s, but around [-] years old. He is just a senior in the family of Du's Sanhefang.

Goodbye to Du Zhi, Du Ruming naturally saluted.

When he was able to enter ethnology, it was Du Zhi who helped him from the time he entered school, and his later life was mostly funded by Du Zhi.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Du Zhi is his great benefactor.

"Ru Ming, get up quickly." Du Zhi helped Du Ruming up with a smile.

At that time, he thought that Du Ruming was someone who could study, so he sent him to ethnology.Later, when Zhongzheng selected scholars, Du Ruming really stood out and was recommended by the county Zhongzheng official to go to Chang'an, but the result was not satisfactory.

Unexpectedly, when things turned around, Du Ruming and his party in Liaodong had to meet the Lord Ming, and from then on he soared into the sky.

After the two sides met, it was naturally a chat.

Gradually, Du Ruming also knew Du Zhi's purpose of coming here, to be a Zhongzheng candidate in the Northern Jin Dynasty!

"Sir, Wei Guo occupies Jingzhao, why do you want to look far away?"

"Don't you know, Wei Guo is now at war with Zhou Niu'er, a pseudo-Zhou slave, so the matter of Zhongzheng's selection of scholars has been shelved."

"Sir, this is difficult."

After all, he was a benefactor who supported and nurtured him, so Du Ruming didn't hide anything, and spoke out what was in his heart.

First, Jingzhao County is now in the hands of the rebels of the Wei State, how can it participate in the selection of Zhongzheng scholars in the Jin Dynasty.Second, the Dazhong official this time is Wang Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Jingzhao Du's family may not be able to make a difference.Thirdly, this selection of Zhongzheng scholars is the first selection after the great chaos in the world. I don’t know how many aristocratic families are looking forward to it.Not to mention Bingzhou, but Hebei must come.

With such competition, they have no advantage.

After listening to Du Ruming's analysis, Du Zhi sighed slightly, and asked, "Ru Ming, can you contact Master Wei Shijian?"

Du Ruming's heart moved, but he shook his head on his face.

"I'm not familiar with Mr. Wei."

Du Zhi persuaded: "You two are from Jingzhao, you should watch over and help each other."

If someone else said that there was a tendency to 'clique', Du Ruming would have fooled him, and then politely asked him to leave, and finally closed the door with a 'snap'.

But Mr. Ming Shan is kind to him, he can only say patiently: "Sir, this matter is not liked by the king."

Hearing this, Du Zhi sighed, "It's true, the old man made things difficult for you."

Du Ruming's cheeks blushed, Mr. finally found him once, is it possible to let him down?
Suddenly, he thought of something, and said: "Don't worry, sir, let me take another look."

"That's thanks to you." Du Zhi chuckled.
