Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 228
"Find a son-in-law?"

Zi Yan and Meng Fanyin looked at each other in surprise.

They were surprised, not because they didn't know what the son-in-law was, but because the person who caught the son-in-law was actually Li Men.

It is a custom to catch a son-in-law under the list. After the imperial examination, when the list is released, those wealthy families who have no official status will marry their daughters and recruit their husbands, and they will pull high school scholars to their own homes. The competition is very fierce, and sometimes they even have to do it. Compete with people.

That's why the joking name of catching a son-in-law came into being, implying that to recruit a son-in-law you need to have a quick eye and a quick hand, and the word catching is the essence.

Most of the son-in-laws are squires and rich men with a little family wealth. The real aristocrats disdain this, or they do it a little more advanced. invest.

But whether it is high or low, its essence is the same, recruit talents, strengthen strength, and continue the family.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for major families to recruit sons-in-law and daughters at the Wenhua Conference. Didn't the last cultural leader marry the daughter of the Yan family, one of the three major families in Ningzhou?
So, it is reasonable for Li Men to recruit a son-in-law this time. Why are Zi Yan and Meng Fanyin surprised?

because……

"It's rare for Li Men to recruit a son-in-law!"

"There are three daughters of the first line in the Li family. The eldest daughter has already recruited a husband to continue the blood of the Li family. The second daughter just entered the palace as a concubine the year before last. Only the third lady is left. She has reached the age of marriage and has not yet married. It's a matter of course to recruit a son-in-law again."

"Young lady of the Li family, she is extraordinary, she has a very high vision, I heard that the third lady has said that she will not marry unless she wins the third prize!"

"Consecutively winning the third prize, what a joke, how many times has this Wenhua Association been held, only a few three prize winners have been produced, on average, no one will be produced in a thousand years, even if she is a noble girl from the Li family, the conditions are too harsh right?"

"That is, to win the third prize in a row, not to mention the Li family, even the arrogant daughter of the Tian family's Huangmai also wins. They are also married. Being the son-in-law of the Tian family is not better than being his Li family's son-in-law?"

"You are wrong, let alone the legend of Li Men's noble daughter, let's just say that this time, Miss Li Men is not recruiting a husband, but marrying someone else. For this reason, Li Men has prepared a heavy gift to do dowry."

"That Miss Li Men is the master of Xuehaijian Tower and the beloved daughter of Lord Xuehaijian. If you marry her, you will have the help of Li Men and Xuehaijianlou. It can be said that you will reach the sky in one step, and you will go straight to the sky."

"..."

A group of literati discussed and felt hot and passionate in their hearts.

There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.

Studying poetry and books hard, isn't what you are looking for is a name, a profit, and a sex?
Now, Yan Ruyu, the Golden House, and Qingyun Road are all in front of your eyes, why don't you yearn for it, how can you not be excited?
"Li Men recruiting a son-in-law?"

Ziyan turned her head and said to Meng Fanyin with a surprised expression: "How dare they make trouble at this moment?"

Although the two were not involved in the intrigue between the royal family and the family, the open and covert struggle between the royal family and the family was clearly revealed in the previous conflict in the Huangtian Tower, and anyone with a little discernment could see it, let alone them who came from a large sect.

Therefore, the two were very surprised by Li Men's high-profile way of recruiting a son-in-law at this juncture.

Could it be that Li Men still has some schemes and arrangements?
Or maybe it's just a coincidence, then Miss Li Men is sincerely recruiting a husband, and she doesn't have any special ideas?

The two of them didn't know, they just had a faint feeling that something was wrong, this matter... was unusual.

……

"Mandarin banquet!"

"Scholars who are shortlisted for the big test, please enter the Wenhua Hall to take their seats within half an hour. Those who arrive late will automatically abstain."

"The rest of the scholars can watch the ceremony in the side hall. I have learned from the Haijian tower and have set up a formation. It's like a mirror, a mirror, and a real experience."

"Please!"

Not long after Li Men's Luan Court entered, the bell rang in the Wenhua Palace, and the disciples and waiters in Xuehaijian Tower and Wenhua Palace began to welcome the guests into the palace.

"here we go?"

Zi Yan turned around and asked, "Where shall we go?"

Meng Fanyin didn't answer, and walked directly to the main hall of Wenhua Palace.

Outside the main hall, there are checkpoints. In addition to Xuehaijian Tower and Confucian disciples, there are also the inner guards of the Princess Mansion.

"Two, please show your entry!"

Two Sea Confucian students raised their hands to stop them.

Meng Fanyin took out a note: "Yi Jianmen, Meng Fanyin!"

The two Confucian students of Xuehai took the greeting card and looked at it, and they were awe-inspiring: "It turns out that they are the descendants of Yijianmen. I'm sorry, please come in!"

After all, he made way for the two of them.

Zi Yan and Meng Fanyin passed through the checkpoint, and while walking towards the Wenhua Palace, they teased and said, "Patriarch Dauni is worthy of being Patriarch Dauni, and even a Confucian descendant like Xuehaijianlou would sell your face, I should have known I also joined Yijianmen, hey, I regret it!"

"Before the patriarch congenitally became enlightened, he studied in Xuehaijianlou. He was a fellow practitioner of Xuehaijianjun, so Xuehaijianlou naturally dare not neglect."

While Meng Fanyin explained, she and Zi Yan stepped into the Wenhua Palace, and under the guidance of the waiter, they sat aside and prepared to watch the ceremony.

The Wenhua Banquet is both a banquet and a meeting. The final Wenhua test will be held here, so the protagonist is the literati who will take the test, and the rest can only watch the ceremony.

Of course, if you are strong enough and your status is high enough, you can also be promoted from an outside audience to an on-site host.

For example...

"Mrs. Li is here!"

"Xue Haijian Lord is here!"

"Master Yiqi is here!"

"The Taoist Master Qing has arrived!"

"Master Yan is here!"

"Mr. Meng Da is here!"

"Master State Shepherd is here!"

"Dean Longshan is here!"

Eight people and eight voices came one after another.

He is the eight innate masters, representing the three Ningzhou schools, the Ningzhou three sects, and the Great Zhou court and Longshan Academy outside the three schools and three sects.

The eight innates, that is, the ancestral land of the Kyushu, are favored by the aura, and if they are transferred to the expanded territory of the Ten States, they will not be able to invite so many great monks even if they are killed.

These eight congenital overhauls are the tastings of the Mandarin banquet tonight.

Why is it just a tasting, not a judge?
Because Wenhua is hard to judge!

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. It is difficult to judge who is high and who is low, who is good and who is bad, such as poems, books and articles, which have strong subjective visions. Convinced.

Therefore, it is not a person who is judged at the Wenhua meeting, but a sacred artifact, a sacred artifact of literature and Taoism!
"His Royal Highness is here!"

The eight congenital overhauls had just taken their seats, and the last person came to make a grand finale.

It was Her Royal Highness, Princess Zhou, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and xiapei, luxurious and unparalleled, Jiang Huang!
Jiang Huang stepped into the hall, behind her was a group of personal maids, and there was another person with a tall and straight blue shirt, as solemn as a sword.

Exactly...

"How could it be him?"

"It sure is him!"

Inside and outside the arena, inside and outside the hall, everyone had a sudden thought, but the thoughts that popped up were different.

However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Huang, and it has nothing to do with Su Wen.

Jiang Huang took the throne and faced everyone.

"Meet Your Highness the Princess!"

Everyone got up and saluted together, even Mrs. Li, Mr. Xue Haijian and the other eight innate masters were no exception.

Jiang Huang also accepted it frankly, and raised her hand to help: "Your Excellency, please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone is at peace.

"Everyone sit down."

Jiang Huang didn't talk nonsense, and directly cast her eyes on the center of the hall, the scholars who participated in the Wenhua test, and then looked at Xuehai Jianjun and others: "Let's start!"

"Yes!"

Xuehai Jianjun nodded, turned around and shouted: "The big test begins, please Qingyuntai, Wenhuajing!"
