Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 713
"I specially asked someone to visit that person. His character is good and his ability is not bad. He is currently doing business with his brother, and he is very diligent." Mrs. Chen is very satisfied with this marriage.

After all, Du Jinning is not a man, and he will not always be an official in the future; and Chen Li is not Du Jinning's serious sister, or the daughter of an official's family.If she married into an official's family, once Du Jinning escaped to death, she might be rejected by her husband's family.Although Fang Shaohua and Xu Chengyuan are officials, they are not big officials at present, and they have nothing to do if people don't buy their account.

But the merchants are different, because their status is not high, even if Du Jinning is not there, Fang Shaohua, Xu Chengyuan and Lu Xiaobei are there, and they can completely deter them.Another advantage of being a businessman is that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

If you tell Chen Li that you are a scholar or scholar from an average family background, maybe someone spends your dowry to study and live, and turns around and gets admitted to Jinshi, and they will abandon you like a shoe and climb another high branch.Even if Fang Shaohua and others dare not divorce their wretched wives because of their reputation, they can get a few more beautiful concubines, which is enough for Chen Li to drink a pot.

Therefore, a business family with a simple population and a kind personality is the most suitable for Chen Li.

Du Jinning and the Chen family have absolutely no regard for merchants.

"What's the name of that family? Tell me, I'll send someone to investigate again." Du Jinning said.

Although Qin Lao Liu sent that group of people to various places, he still kept four top talents on hand for Du Jinning's use.It's not easy for them to check this kind of ordinary people.

"It's called Tang Wen, and his brother's name is Tang Chuang, and he lives in the family on the westernmost side of the street in front of him."

"Okay." Du Jinning nodded.

Back in her own yard, she wrote a letter and asked Aoki to send it to Qin Lao Liu himself.

The residence of Qin Laoliu in the capital is also an ordinary teahouse frequented by all religions and streams.However, when Du Jinning went to Runzhou in the future, Qin Laoliu would bring four of his men to pretend to be ordinary merchants, and walk with Du Jinning and his party one after the other.After arriving in Runzhou, he will set up another teahouse as a hidden move in Du Jinning's hands, helping her do some things that can't be put on the bright side.

Originally, Yao Shuqi personally delivered the letter to Qin Lao Liu, but he had already left for Runzhou in advance, so the task of delivering the letter fell to Aoki.

Aoki has been practicing martial arts, and has been with Du Jinning for so many years, his loyalty is unquestionable, Du Jinning can use him with confidence.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a long time, the four of Qin Laoliu's subordinates are all very capable. It is easy to check such a trivial matter. After receiving Du Jinning's news, he ran to the roof of the Tang family to stay for an hour and a half, and the next day at a nearby teahouse After inquiring about the Tang family, Wasi and other places quietly, by noon of the second day, all the big and small things of the Tang family, even the affairs of his ancestors and deceased parents, were inquired about.This includes the process of the Tang family's fortune, the behavior and intimacy of Tang Chuang's husband and wife, and Tang Wen's events from childhood to adulthood, all of which were reported to Du Jinning in writing by Qin Laoliu.

Except for Tang Chuang's flirtatious flirtation with the maid beside his wife, and Tang Chuang's youngest son's spoiled temper, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the Tang family.Tang Wen is very sensible, well-behaved, and diligent.It was the same as what Mrs. Chen had heard.

"Okay, let's go to this one." Du Jinning said to Chen Shi, "Since Mrs. Ji came to propose this marriage, then please ask her to be a matchmaker and help to match the match at the Tang family."

The marriage was completed, and Du Jinning accepted Zhao Mingyue's love.Of course, the Ji family's pig head thank-you gift is also indispensable.

Knowing that Du Jinning was eager to take up the post in Runzhou, Mrs. Chen immediately left for Ji's house.

The reason Mrs. Ji mentioned the Tang family was also because it was an order from Princess Lu, and the Tang family happened to be related to her, and they knew each other well. They felt that this marriage would satisfy both parties and would not let the princess treat her Dissatisfied with work ability.

The reason why Tang Wen didn't talk about marriage until the age of 17 was also because he wanted to marry a literate wife who was well-educated.But since they were merchants and not particularly rich, it was a bit difficult to marry a girl from a scholarly family. Scholars would not think highly of merchants even if they died of poverty, so they never found a suitable one.

Although Chen Li's surname is not Du, she is the cousin of Du Jinning, the top scholar in the new discipline. In recent years, Mrs. Chen has invited female gentlemen to teach her to read and write, learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is better than those scholars or daughters of Juren.At the beginning, Zhao Mingyue thought she was not beautiful, because compared to those beauties in the palace, she was more than enough to match Tang Wen, and she was just suitable for living at home - a small rich family like the Tang family, marrying a wife who is too beautiful can easily cause trouble .

Chen Li has a gentle temperament, and the dowry is compared to Du Fangling's standard when he got married. There are fields, shops, silver at the bottom of the box, clothes, jewelry, furniture, etc., which match the Tang family's family background very well.

As for the marriage between Chen Li and Du Jinning, Mrs. Ji also told the Tang family the whole story, and Tang Wen said that she didn't care.

So this marriage was immediately booked.

Pavement for Chen Li's field, when the property was transferred to the three sisters, Du Jinning handled it together. When Chen Li got married, Fang Shaohua added a note to the household department and it was over.Her clothes, jewelry and other things were packed by the servants, and together with Chen Li himself, they were delivered to Du Fangling's home that night.The furniture for the wedding will be handled by Liang Xiankuan. When Du Jinning writes a letter, Liang Xiankuan will send someone to measure and make it. Du Jinning doesn't need to worry about it.

Afraid that Chen Li would think too much, Chen said to her: "I will come back when you get married. It's not far anyway, a day's journey."

Chen Li knelt on the ground gratefully and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Chen.

She can only be grateful to her aunt for saving her from the kang, allowing her to live a good life, and finding such a good marriage for her with painstaking efforts.

That night, Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze and his party practiced for Du Jinning.

Guan Jiaze was very sad. Seeing that Qi Muyuan was still expressionless as before, he didn't seem sad, so he couldn't help but pat Qi Muyuan hard: "You heartless, Du Jinning, you don't even feel reluctant to leave the capital."

Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan smiled: "I'm no better than you. I stay in various ministries. I go up and down every day. Except for holidays, I can't leave the capital for a single step. My position is flexible and I run around to investigate cases. I have more time than staying in Dali Temple, and if I want to see Du Jinning, I just walk away."

This made everyone very envious.

Guan Jiaze sighed: "Back when you two came out of the Imperial Academy, I persuaded you. Now it seems that you are right, at least not like us, who go about their daily lives step by step. If you want to be promoted, you can only endure it." on."

Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning laughed without saying a word.
