Chapter 40 How to Pick a Husband

The news in the palace always spreads fast, the painters left the palace for a while, three provinces and six privy councils will be in charge, etc. There are rumors in these places about Li Buqi, and they all say that Li Buqi said that the emperor's heirs are difficult, maybe it is the emperor's fault question.Isn't this Uncovering the Dragon's Reverse Scale?People were waiting to see how Li Buqi would end up, but Li Buqi walked out of the palace under the surprised eyes of everyone, as if nothing happened.

Not only Li Buqi, but also the three imperial doctors were tight-lipped about what happened after the painters withdrew, and no one dared to ask about it publicly, so various speculations were flying everywhere, and many people almost suffered from internal injuries.Fortunately, news came out soon that Li Buqi had accompanied the official's family to play cuju before leaving the palace, and the official's family played cuju for a quarter of an hour.

The officials didn't practice Cuju before, but they often watched Cuju. Why did they end up in person today?
What happened in the next few days was even more surprising. Every afternoon, Li Buqi would go into Da Nei to accompany the official's family to play Cuju. What kind of honor is this?All of a sudden, people of justice, such as censors, handed in chapters to ask the emperor to respect himself, and not to waste state affairs by playing games.It's just that all these chapters were left in the middle, and there was not even an echo.This actually aroused people's greater curiosity, and they were all exploring how Li Buqi confuses the officials.

Of course, quite a few of them hoped to replace Li Buqi in front of the officials, so Li Buqi's status as a soldier was brought up to talk about things. Some people accused Li Buqi of wanting to be a jester and leading the emperor to neglect his duties.For a while, Li Buqi's name tended to be labeled as a traitor.

Before the new year, it was the time when rich and noble families exchanged New Year gifts to communicate their feelings. For a while, various speculations were rampant, but it is undeniable that Li Buqi suddenly became a legend among the topics of Tokyo's upper class society.

Zhao Min also went to visit her boudoir friend as in previous years.She is seventeen this year, and if the person she was originally engaged to hadn't died, she should be married by now.Those close friends of her boudoir are all married, so it is natural to feel sorry for her when they see her.People who come here naturally look at things differently from the little girl. Seeing that she is not engaged yet, naturally they have to teach her some experience and help her make suggestions. This really gave Zhao Min a lot of insight.

My childhood dream was to marry a suave and suave jade-faced gentleman, but hearing complaints from my best friends, this dream seemed unreliable.A few girlfriends got their wish and married the suave and romantic Mr. Yumian, but it was only a few days after they got married. As soon as the freshness passed, his family's officials would hang around Fireworks and Willow Lane, often not going home for a few days in the name of making friends.Even after returning home, there are still several housekeepers at home, so it's a little care.Girlfriends can't compete with others, they can only be vases.What's more terrible is that there is an official who is said to be a best friend is a good man, and he has always ignored his wife.

My father and brothers didn't tell these little girls about these things before, but now that they are married, they realize that the world is not so beautiful.

Speaking of it is full of tears, who made Da Song so tolerant of men.Therefore, all the girlfriends are envious of Li Buqi's confession to Zhao Min.Li Buqi is now considered a celebrity in the capital, can make money, and even plays football with the emperor every day, where can such a talent be found.What?Uglier, poorer?If you are ugly, if you are poor, you will not have a few maids in the house, and there are several lovers outside.

Saying this really made Zhao Min feel a little scared.In case of marrying someone who is not human, the happiness of that life will be over.At this time, she secretly thanked the man who died after being engaged to him, and it was because of his death that she gave Zhao Min the opportunity to choose.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year will be in a few days, the nanny said that the master told her to come over.When I came to the Nuan Pavilion, I saw my father and my second brother were there, and she gave her a blessing first and then stood beside her.Zhao Yuanwai cleared his throat and said, "Eldest sister, you are already seventeen, and this marriage cannot be delayed any longer. In the past few months, more than 30 people have come to propose marriage. You have to decide which one you like. If you don't I have no choice but to say which one is which for the father, so don't complain about the father."

Zhao Yuanwai knew that the boy was thin when he was engaged to Zhao Min when he was a child, but the family was of great help to the Zhao family at that time, and they couldn't let go of this support before deciding on the marriage.The boy died last year, and Zhao Yuanwai felt sorry for his daughter from the bottom of his heart, so he wanted to let his daughter choose a husband she liked, but the matter of her not making up her mind couldn't be delayed forever.In this era, it is a very worrying thing for a family to have a seventeen or eighteen daughter who is not married.

Zhao Min also knew that this matter could not be delayed, otherwise her father would really appoint a marriage for her.So although her face was burning hot, she still said according to her own thoughts: "Father, my daughter has never seen those people, and what she knows is just hearsay and can't be true. Therefore, my daughter wants to see these people with her own eyes."

Although Cheng-Zhu Confucianism has not yet emerged, and the general atmosphere of the Song Dynasty is still open, but the girls' families are still too shocking to go on a blind date one by one.Zhao Min's second brother immediately jumped up: "How did this happen?"

"My little sister sees that the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom. Why don't you invite these people to have a banquet. During the banquet, you can recite poems and compose poems, or comment on them. It's a good time to see their talents and learning."

It is not surprising that rich families in the Song Dynasty have daughters and invite young people to their homes to enjoy flowers and drink wine in order to choose a son-in-law.Member Zhao nodded and said, "That's fine, seeing is believing, and hearsay is always not reassuring. With my daughter's talent and learning, people will not be fooled."

Zhao Min said: "There is one more thing, this banquet must be arranged according to my arrangement."

Zhao Yuanwai said: "This is also up to you. Then it will be set in three days. Mingdao, I will post a post to each family in your name."

Zhao Mingdao quickly agreed, and Zhao Min added another sentence: "Let's invite that Li Buqi too."

Zhao Mingdao immediately became Spartan: "What do you want that soldier to do?"

"Second brother, don't worry, my younger sister just wants to let him see what kind of people come to my house to ask for marriage, so that he can quit and stop pestering him."

This made sense, and Zhao Mingdao no longer objected, so Li Buqi also got an invitation.

"Son! Is this the young lady of the Zhao family who has taken a fancy to you?" The old lady's eyes were rounded, and her face was ecstatic.Li Buqi hurriedly vaccinated his old lady: "Maybe he just let us see his family background and let us know that he is not good enough for him."

Seeing the disappointment on the old lady's face, Li Buqi quickly comforted the old lady: "However, your son has entered the Imperial Academy now, so it may not be impossible to marry that little lady. You should dress up this time."

"Yes, yes. I made several satin clothes for you and you just don't wear them. You will wear them that day and show them to the little lady of the Zhao family." The old lady was about to look for clothes immediately, but Li Buqi hurriedly stopped her.As ugly as the satin dress with a big black face is, it should be made of fine linen, and the new one will be fine.

After finally sending his old lady away, Li Buqi immediately went to the tofu shop and said to Yang Silang who was grinding beans: "Go and find out what is in the courtyard of the Zhao family at Longjin Bridge. I will write a poem in three days."

PS: It may be a problem of alternate use of the writing system on the PC and the mobile phone. In the past few days, several chapters have been saved or lost, or part of them is missing, which makes me burnt out. I am making up for the lost manuscripts. Some communication may not be timely. Please bear with me, but please don't forget to take out your tickets! !
