Promise

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Eh? Didn't you notice? Although the eldest aunt and the two cousins ​​of the Lu family didn't say it clearly, I think the clues are obvious."

Niu said angrily: "How obvious is it? Although your aunt and two cousins ​​came to my house two or three times after coming to Beijing, they only talked to me for a while. All your aunt talked about with me was trivial matters.

, Ken Er Chu Ming Chu Liang, the two brothers were almost all together with your grandfather in the study outside. Do I know what they said? But I remember that your aunt never mentioned that she was proposing to marry her son, and your grandfather didn't mention it to me either.

,Did Chu Ming ever mention this kind of thing?!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "That shouldn't happen, but there are many clues that show that the Lu family is busy with this matter."

Qin Youzhen brought her eldest son Lu Chuming back to Beijing in advance, and she didn't even care about the pressure from the Xu family. There must be some reason to come to the capital. Qin Youzhen only heard about the news of Xu's illness after she came to Beijing. She

He sent his two sons to greet Xu in advance, but he didn't show up first, probably to let his sons test him first.

She used the excuse of bringing a birthday gift to her younger brother for Mr. Sun, the chief envoy of Zhili, and explained the reason why their mother and son went to Beijing in advance. Xu believed her, but in Qin Hanzhen's view, this reason was too far-fetched. Mr. Sun

He is a high-ranking official, comes from a noble family, and is related to the prince. He wants to give his younger brother a birthday gift, and he has to ask someone just to help him.

A friend you have met not long ago? You can just send a few servants to get it done, and it will definitely be faster than the Lu family's mother and son doing it for you. Since Qin Youzhen mentioned that she would take her son to visit in person to celebrate birthdays and give gifts, then Master Sun's

This entrustment looks more like a letter of introduction, introducing Qin Youzhen and Lu Chuming, mother and son, to their younger brother.

However, Qin Youzhen is a woman, and although Lu Chuming is a young talent, he already has the honor of being a civil servant, and has no plans to study in the Imperial College - Lu Pu is still one level away from getting the benefits of a place in the Imperial College, and this benefit is most likely to require

It is left to the youngest son Lu Chuliang to enjoy - why do they need to know Master Sun's younger brother? If it is just to ask for advice on homework, Qin Bai and Shoushan Bo are both good candidates. Lu Chuming does not necessarily ask to go to the Imperial College to offer wine.

superior.

And even if it is really necessary to ask the latter, there is no need to ask for a letter of introduction from Mr. Sun, the chief envoy of Zhili. Because Qin Bai had said a long time ago that Sun Jijiu's mentor was his young man.

One of the best friends from that era, the other person is still alive today and lives in Beijing. Qin Bai meets him almost every month. With Qin Bai as the introducer,

It is much more convenient than asking Master Sun. Qin Bai only needs to bring a few juniors with him when he goes to friends' gatherings. This is a common thing. All his friends are happy to guide other friends to bring them.

The younger generation. Qin Bai and these old friends have formed a low-key but famous circle of literati, which is a highly praised scholarly gathering in Beijing.

After Qin Bai learned that Lu Chuming was going to visit Sun Jiejiu, he gave him a name card and asked him to knock on Sun's door with it. He would never be turned away and was even willing to take him with him.

Go and get to know several other equally knowledgeable people. Because in Qin Bai’s view, although Sun Jijiu was good at knowledge, he majored in "The Analects of Confucius". Lu Chuming originally chose

But Lu Chuming was majoring in "Shang Shu", and the direction was not very suitable. Even if he could give some advice, he would not be as good as a famous teacher specializing in "Shang Shu". But Lu Chuming declined politely. He clearly wanted to visit Sun Jijiu, not

In order to ask for advice on homework and get to know other teachers, you can wait until he meets Sun Jijiu to see what the latter means before making a decision.

Qin Bai was still a little depressed at the time, and once murmured in front of his granddaughter Qin Hanzhen: "Is it because of the personal relationship between Sun Jijiu's brother and Uncle Lu? Otherwise, how could he seem to have identified this teacher?

"

Qin Hanzhen had already guessed something at the time. In fact, she and Princess Xiuning were acquaintances. She knew that her natal family was from a well-known scholarly family, that she had a nephew who served as a wine minister at the Imperial Academy, and that her mentor was an old friend of her grandfather.

This Sun Jijiu has a daughter, who is currently in her twenties.

In the past few months, when the ladies from famous families in Beijing were busy looking for their in-laws, Princess Xiuning once complained about several nieces and nephews in her natal family, saying that they were also starting to have nothing to do. The royal family clearly did not choose high-ranking officials to be the East Palace.

Despite the wishes of the concubines, the nephews and daughters-in-law planned to marry off the nieces and nephews' daughters hastily, which was really a waste. For this reason, Princess Xiuning couldn't stand it, and specially selected two juniors from the clan who were decent and promising.

, matchmaking, and married two nieces and nephews. There is only one girl whose father is a wine worshipper in the Imperial College, because the fathers are more knowledgeable, unhurried, and have yet to be married. Now, with Lu Chuming's statement,

Isn’t that right?

Qin Youzhen mentioned in front of Mrs. Xu that Mr. Sun, the chief envoy of Zhili, had two sons and one daughter. The daughter was only seven years old, but she did not mention whether they had nieces or not! In this era, the difference between biological nieces and biological daughters actually does not count.

Older. If Mr. Sun likes Lu Chuming and plans to introduce him to his brother as a son-in-law candidate and let him go to Beijing to celebrate his brother's birthday, wouldn't it be reasonable?

After Qin Hanzhen deduced this conclusion, he tentatively asked Qin Youzhen in front of Lu Chuming and Lu Chuliang if she wanted to find out about Sun Jijiu, his wife, and children from the nuns or maids around Princess Xiuning.

Their preferences? When giving gifts in this way, Qin Youzhen and her son can be targeted, and it is easier to gain the favor of Sun Jijiu and his family.

At that time, Qin Youzhen asked her very actively, expressed her willingness in this regard, and said that she would definitely give Qin Hanzhen a big thank you, while Lu Chuming immediately blushed. In front of everyone in the third room, their mother and son were probably not even wary.

It has dropped a lot, and he expressed his true thoughts so straightforwardly. Qin Hanzhen was therefore sure that he had more than 80% chance of guessing correctly.

Although the official position of the Imperial Imperial College is only from the fourth rank, it is extremely noble and enjoys a high reputation among the scholars. Not to mention that the Sun family is also a scholarly and famous family, and is also married to the clan. The daughter of the Sun family is married to Lu Chuming, so

She is definitely a match. Miss Sun is both talented and beautiful, elegant and steady, and is also a well-known figure in the circle of ladies in the capital. Qin Hanzhen has only met her a few times and has no personal relationship, but he also knows that this girl is in good condition. If Lu Chuming can

It is definitely a blessing to have such a wife.

At least she is much luckier than marrying Xu Xiu. It's not that there is anything wrong with Xu Xiu, but the family status, family tradition, and reputation of the Xu family and the Sun family are simply incomparable.

After Qin Hanzhen explained clearly, Niu and Cai Shengnan knew what was going on. Looking back carefully, Qin Youzhen seemed to have exposed many flaws in front of them.

For example, Cai Shengnan was once asked by Qin Youzhen to help him buy some precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers produced in Liaodong, because Sun Jijiu's wife was not in good health and needed these things. If it was just for Sun Jiu,

For the sake of adults, or for Lu Chuming to be able to seek advice from Sun Jijiu smoothly, does she need to be so attentive to the other party's wife?

Another example is that Lu Chuliang once interjected with a smile when Niu persuaded Qin Youzhen to marry Lu Chuming earlier: "How do you know that my mother didn't tell him? Didn't you see that my brother's face was red?" But at that time, Niu

She misunderstood that he was referring to the thread held by Xu, so she didn't think much about it.

Looking back now, Qin Youzhen didn't hide anything from Sanfang at all, but she didn't say it clearly. Niu sighed: "She is also a fool, why didn't she tell us clearly? Our Marquis has a relationship with Sun Jijiu's mentor.

, maybe she can help put in a good word. She didn't say a word, and just stupidly brought her son to the door to give gifts. Even though Mr. Sun introduced him, he is still a stranger after all, and it would be awkward to meet him. "

Cai Shengnan smiled and said: "It's a pity. I remember that Sun Jijiu's birthday was yesterday. The Marquis asked me to give a gift to the Sun family. It has already passed now. Even if my mother-in-law wants to help the eldest sister,

I missed it too. I wonder what Sun Jijiu thinks of Brother Lu Jiaming? If you think he is good, the next time my mother-in-law accompanies my father-in-law to meet Sun Jiujiu’s mentor, she can help say a few good words."

Mr. Niu clapped his hands: "I will discuss with Mr. Hou that our family will be the host at some time and invite his old friends to hold a tea party and poetry party at home. Ask everyone to bring a few juniors to join in the fun.

Then bring their wives and let us women get together and talk. Then we can talk about the marriage of the younger generation, wouldn’t it be natural? "

Mrs. Niu had already thought of a plan quickly, and Qin Hanzhen said with a bit of laughter: "Grandma, please stop working, let's leave aside the host affairs for the time being. Let's go ask auntie first. How was the process of visiting her to celebrate her birthday yesterday?

Sun Jijiu, do you like Cousin Lu?"

In fact, Sun Jijiu was quite pleased with Lu Chuming.

Before his birthday, Qin Youzhen had already brought Lu Chuming to the Sun family's door. That time, it was to deliver the gifts entrusted by Master Sun, and also to get to know Sun Jijiu and his wife first. Qin Youzhen also took advantage of the opportunity to meet him.

Miss Sun left an excellent impression on her and became more active in promoting this marriage.

Before the birthday party, Lu Chuming also went to Sun Jijiu to ask for advice. In fact, he was showing his depth of knowledge and studiousness to others.

On the day of the birthday banquet, Lu Chuming performed very well in front of all the guests, overtly and secretly competing with all the young talents who might become competitors. How could Sun Jijiu be dissatisfied?

In fact, when Sun Jijiu was young, because she concentrated on studying knowledge, she neglected her family. Her wife had to take care of her younger son, and her health was not good. The eldest daughter was almost brought up by her brother and sister-in-law. Therefore, regarding Miss Sun's marriage,

, Mr. Sun's favorite candidate, Sun Jijiu, couldn't find anything wrong. Basically, the marriage was settled. Lu Chuming went to see the old man of the Sun family again, and the old man also had a good impression of him, so Sun Jijiu signaled

Madam, the marriage process with Qin Youzhen has officially begun.

Because of this incident, Qin Youzhen was in a very good mood for several days. At the Marquis of Chengen Mansion, she might have to be more restrained, after all, the marriage had not been officially decided yet. But at the Marquis of Yongjia Mansion, she still had

What can we be prepared for? When Niu asked about this, she seemed to have guessed something, so she did not hide it anymore and directly admitted that she was indeed discussing marriage with the Sun family. When she left Changlu, Lu Pu

I had a word with her first, and I wanted to try my best to finalize the marriage. At least I had to exchange the Geng Tie and hand over the token before I could leave the capital. Now that things were going smoothly, she couldn't be more satisfied.

Qin Youzhen happily said to Mrs. Niu: "Has Third Aunt met the girl from the Sun family? Let me tell you something from my heart, even if this girl is not a girl from the Sun family, I fell in love with her just because of her character.

, I must marry her as my wife!"

Mr. Niu was also happy for her, but he didn't forget to remind her: "What will your mother-in-law do if she finds out? She is still ill."

Qin Youzhen suddenly fainted.
