A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Zongshi has a guest.

Early in the morning, Zhao Zongjiang came to visit.

This is the posture of a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster. Logically, Zhao Zongshi could have said that he was not sick, but he still came out.

"I heard that your health is much better?"

Zhao Zongjiang came with a purpose, and the first purpose was to see Zhao Zongshi's physical condition.

Zhao Zongshi said numbly: "Yes."

Still so stupid!

Zhao Zongjiang was slightly happy and said: "Others say that you need to listen to the suona before you can rest. I found a few singers here who are proficient in the suona and brought them to you today."

The festive sound of the suona often came from the prince's palace. At first, the outside world was curious, but when they found out it was the suona, they couldn't help laughing.

"You are suffering from a difficult disease. Last year, I sent people to search for things in the north. I got a few women by the way. The suona player..."

His eyelids twitched, remembering the shock he felt when he tried it out at home.

That was really shocking!

Zhao Zongshi can listen to it often, which is really rare.

But this actually confirmed the rumors that Zhao Zongshi was ill, so he came today to verify it.

Zhao Zongshi said calmly: "Someone in the house is used to it, keep yours for your own use."

Zhao Zongjiang said to himself that if I use a ghost, the suona is very noisy. If I listen to it every day, I will definitely become a madman.

However, his move was a bit outrageous. These days, don't give medicine to anything among the powerful, otherwise you won't be able to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong.

Suona is medicine for Zhao Zongshi.

Zhao Zongjiang chatted for a few more words and then left.

All the way back home, Zhao Yunliang was waiting, "How was it?"

Zhao Zongjiang said proudly: "He is indeed ill. He probably has a brain disease and looks dull."

Zhao Yunliang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Yes! The suona is so noisy and people can listen to it. It shows that he is indeed ill."

This is good news. Zhao Yunliang said happily: "The weather is good today. I plan to prepare for a day of fasting for my father."

Zhao Yunliang has now fallen in love with the feeling of fasting. His belly is empty, his body is light, and his worries have disappeared.

Zhao Zongjiang said: "Dad, my child also wants to live without food for a day."

The butler next to him said with a grimace: "If something happens in the palace..."

Zhao Yunliang said: "Then let's talk about living without grain."

Father and son have the same hobbies, which really makes him, a father, happy!

He said softly: "In this case, you and I, father and son, can join hands in retreat."

The Huayuan County Prince's Mansion immediately closed its doors and stopped seeing guests, claiming to the outside world that the Prince of Huayuan was fasting.

…

Zhao Zongshi just smiled when he heard the news.

Gao Taotao said happily: "Official, you like to live without grain, maybe we won't fight in the future."

Taoist inaction, if he were pious, Zhao Yunliang might take the initiative to withdraw from this fight.

The sun was dazzling, and Zhao Zongshi sat outside the door, feeling very comfortable.

"What a wonderful life like this! It's the best life."

Gao Taotao's heart skipped a beat, and he was worried that he would lose his fighting spirit, so he advised him: "But Zhong Zhen is already involved. Didn't you say that if it doesn't work out, Zhong Zhen will have to live in silence from now on..."

You have to work hard for your son!

Zhao Zongshi said calmly: "Bedu...it is said to the outside world that it is Zhao Yunliang's fasting, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Zongjiang. Do you understand?"

Gao Taotao was startled and sighed: "Yes, Zhao Yunliang said that fasting would actually make the officials less afraid."

She thought of her father-in-law Zhao Yunrang.

The man scolded the sky and never tabooed anything. After drinking too much, he would even scold the officials, saying that he had suffered so much in the palace, but in the end he took advantage of Zhao Zhen.

This man was so courageous, but the officials didn't care about him, otherwise the county and prince's palace would be in disaster.

Zhao Zongshi squinted at the sunshine outside, and said comfortably: "Dad is acting wantonly, and it is another kind of fasting...more comfortable and not hypocritical."

Gao Taotao gently rubbed his shoulders and said: "My uncle acted wantonly, but it was his nature. And those people who said it was Bigu, but before that, they lost the bet... This is a bit false."

"Whether it's fake or not, it doesn't affect the official's opinion."

Zhao Zongshi's attitude is always calm. As long as he doesn't get sick, he is a good husband, a good son, and a good father...

What about the future?

Gao Taotao hoped that he would be a good emperor and that he would be a good queen.

The couple was silent for a moment, and then Zhao Zongshi asked, "Where is Zhong Zhen?"

The son didn't go home all day, and Zhao Zongshi didn't care. He only asked about the situation every few days.

Gao Taotao said angrily: "I went out again. I said that the examination was coming soon and I wanted to go to Taixue to help."

Zhao Zongshi nodded slightly.

After a while, just when Gao Taotao thought Zhao Zongshi was asleep, he suddenly asked: "Is there anyone suitable for Shen An's marriage... in the house?"

Gao Taotao felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this was a guarantee made by his husband for his son.

If Shen An can marry into the county prince's palace and have a relationship with Zhao Zhongzhen, then everyone will be a complete family from now on.

"Yes, but those nieces are not close to us."

Their family is a special existence in the Prince's Mansion, and there are not many people close to them in the Mansion.

Zhao Zongshi motioned for her to stop pressing the button, and then said quietly: "It is the man who has the final say whether we are close or not."

The head of the family is a man, and men are also in charge of external affairs.

Gao Taotao said happily: "Yes! As long as it can be done, it's not up to her."

She happily went to make arrangements. Zhao Zongshi smiled slightly, then closed his eyes and rested.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of footsteps, a little hasty.

Zhao Zongshi heard the sound of his wife's footsteps. Without opening his eyes, he asked, "Rejected?"

"No. Official, many people went to Shen's house to propose marriage..."

"What?"

Finally Zhao Yunrang came.

"I heard that you want to marry Shen An?"

Zhao Zongshi quickly stood up and said, "Dad, I want to find one of the brothers' daughters..."

"Looking for a shit!"

Zhao Yunrang said angrily: "Zhong Zhen is a good friend of him, he saved me, and he found your problem. Isn't it shameful that such a friendship requires marriage?"

Zhao Zongshi could only stand with his hands tied and did not dare to refute.

Gao Taotao listened to these roars in the room with some disdain in his heart.

Marriage is the most reliable way, otherwise Shen An just has a favor to the county prince's palace, which is not a long-term solution.

"Dissipate this thought quickly, otherwise your legs will be damaged!"

…

This is the sixth matchmaker.

"Your husband just thinks about it, and when he has thought about it, he will ask someone to pass on a message... No, I will come once a day..."

"No, my husband has declined. Do you still think it's interesting to pester me?"

"Why is it boring?"

A woman in her forties stared at Zhuang Zhen and said: "Although Mr. Shen refused, he is a young man... a young man is shy! Maybe he thought of the benefits of women later and agreed... By the way, Mr. Shen looks like a young man who has never experienced women, so as the housekeeper, you should tell him something."

Zhuang Laoshi said with a dark look on his face: "Of course something has happened."

He is just a housekeeper, why should he tell Shen An about the beauty of women? How indecent that is!

He sent the matchmaker away and told Yao Lian: "Next time, just say that the husband is not at home, and don't let anyone in again."

Yao Lian agreed, and Zhuang Laoshi went to the back with a sigh. When passing by the side room, he saw Zhe Kexing carrying a wine flask with a few pieces of dried meat beside it. He drank wine and dried meat, which was quite cheerful.

"Brother An Bei likes that woman, so he should reject all these things."

Zhe Kexing sat upright on the chair. With a move of his hand, a piece of dried meat went into his mouth. Then he chewed it slowly for a few times, then drank it with a sip of wine, and then sighed.

drunkard!

"Drink less."

Zhuang Laoshi felt that it was always wrong for young people to drink.

Zhe Kexing said: "This is light wine. You won't get drunk even if you drink a jar of it."

At the back, Zhuang Laoshi found Shen An.

Shen An was reading a poem to Guo Guo. When he saw him coming, he said, "We can't go on like this anymore."

Zhuang Laoshi also had a headache, "Mr. Lang, it would be great if we got engaged."

Shen An sighed: "Let's wait until Mr. Bao goes to office and ask him to come forward and talk about it."

Guoguo stopped reciting, looked at her brother with big eyes, suddenly clapped her hands and said, "My brother is going to marry my sister-in-law!"

Shen An touched the top of her head and smiled: "It's still early!"

Getting engaged is one thing, getting married is another.

Zhuang Laoshi thought so, and then he thought of the matchmaker's suggestion just now, and he was moved and said: "Mr. Lang, I have something to say."

Shen An got up and went out with him.

After he went out, Guoguo threw away the brush and cheered: "Huahua!"

There was a gasping sound, and then Huahua ran over from nowhere, wagging her tail next to Guoguo.

"Let's go catch butterflies!"

Guoguo ran away with Huahua, but Shen An in front was confused.

Zhuang Laoshi said with a mysterious face: "Mr. Lang, women... are wonderful!"

Shen An said in confusion: "What's so wonderful?"

Zhuang Laoshi laughed in a very vulgar way, even bending his waist a little, and then said in a low tone like a secret spy: "Mr. Lang, women have their own merits, this man! He should... …hey-hey……"

Hey, hey, your sister!

Only then did Shen An know what this guy wanted to say.

Although he is a fledgling in this life, he was an experienced driver in his previous life!

Do you, Zhuang Laoshi, even dare to teach me a few steps?

After Shen An left, Zhuang Laoshi thought he was shy, so he said, "Mr. Lang, if that doesn't work, go to a brothel. Those women are all familiar with each other and I guarantee that your first time will be comfortable."

Nonsense!

Shen An ignored him, and when he figured it was time for Bao Zheng to go to the Yamen, he went to block him outside the Yamen.

"Settled?"

Bao Zheng said with a tired look on his face: "The other side also agreed, but I forgot about it. Well, I'll tell you later on an auspicious day."

"do not!"

Shen An couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of the matchmakers who came one after another. "It's hard to live with all the matchmakers in the family, but a certain person can't say that he is engaged, and those matchmakers are reluctant to leave..."

There are procedures for getting engaged, but the procedures are not there yet. If he said that he was engaged, Yang Jinian would definitely knock on his door.

Bao Zheng naturally didn't believe it, why? Because all his daughters are married.

If he has a daughter, he will definitely want to find a son-in-law, and his mentality will naturally be different.

So he changed into plain clothes and went on a field trip with Shen An.

All the way to Yulin Lane, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of me, and it was very noisy.

Shen An wore a bamboo hat and lowered his head slightly, as if he was a secret spy.

Bao Zheng enthusiastically grabbed a spectator and asked, "What's going on?"

The man watching the excitement was unhappy at first, but he changed his tone when he saw Bao Zheng's long beard.

"My father-in-law, those are the matchmakers who come to Shen'an."

"Matchmaker?"

Bao Zheng felt that he was being dazzled. There couldn't be so many matchmakers, right?

"That's right! It's been an eye-opener for us these past few days."

The man said proudly: "Shen An was blocked at home and did not dare to come out. It is said that he climbed over the wall from behind and ran away."

so smart?

Bao Zheng moved over and stood with the matchmakers.

Several matchmakers were talking about how outstanding the girls they had were, and they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw an old man.

"Old man...you are still working as a matchmaker at your age? The children and grandchildren in your family are unfilial!"

"That's right, it's time for you to go home and get some rest, and don't compete with us for food."

"Speaking of which, husband, how is the woman you have on hand?"

Shen An heard these words from behind, and it was very hard for UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net to endure the laughter.

A bunch of scumbags actually regard Bao Zheng as a matchmaker. If word gets out, Lao Bao doesn't have to be a man anymore.

Bao Zheng coughed dryly and said, "The woman I mentioned... just suits Shen An."

Several matchmakers stopped working after hearing this, and someone said: "You are so boastful! Shen An is a promising young man, and this review has made everyone know that he is talented in both civil and military affairs. How can an ordinary woman be a good match for such a young man?" "

Bao Zheng suddenly felt very interesting.

So he put his hands behind his hands and said, "There's no such thing as a good match or a bad match. We're just living our lives."

"What a loud tone!"

Several matchmakers couldn't help but look at each other coldly, and then someone said: "Who doesn't know how to brag? If you can, just open the door."
