Chapter Thirty-Six: Sure enough, I was caught by my son-in-law.

Zhang Zijun is sitting at home now, "misfortune" comes from the sky. The servants who came to report the good news brought a group of people with short sticks, started from the gate, and smashed the windows of the hall, which was called "changing the door". The craftsmen followed behind and immediately repaired it. Made, damn! There is also such an operation, which is called "changing the door". It seems that it seems like a step away from a scholar to a juren, but in fact, his identity and privilege are very different.

First, exemption from servitude, as long as the family members are all exempted. Second, raising slaves. Third, legal exemption. In the early Ming Dynasty, if a Jinshi Juren commits a death sentence, he can be pardoned three times. As long as it is not a serious crime, he will be punished and demoted to the next level. Fourth, exemption from food. Local officials can be punished. Fifth, polite treatment. Gentlemen only need to be officials, and elders of the same clan pay attention to the superiority and inferiority, and do not talk about etiquette with outsiders.

Look at these privileges, it’s enough to leave sideways. No wonder, the Du family and two Zhang family maids changed their names and called themselves “Master”. Am I that old? Zhang Zijun was very unaccustomed to it and said to his family: “You can’t call him a master, just call him a master.” But I don’t know that once he passed the imperial examination, his father was the (old) grandfather, his man was the master, and his son was the young master, so there was a saying that “one life passed the imperial examination, three life became the master”.

But this matter is not over yet, and I will be "captured" if I can't escape. Now Liu is promoted to Hanlin's postgraduate, and is ranked sixth in the official position. This time I came to match the teacher's daughter. Now I live in someone's courtyard. Li Xian has this idea and let his students come to find out. In Zhang Zijun's memory, didn't Li Xian's daughter marry Yan Shenggong, how could she fall in love with him? What is Yan Shenggong's origin? The hereditary title of the eldest descendant of Confucius's sage is definitely the world's largest

The household is admired by scholars all over the world. This matter is not something, so I have to make an excuse. At the moment, I was sleepy and met a pillow. I saw Yao Xi coming. Liu Sheng and Yao Xi were also very familiar with each other and had nothing to keep. It can be seen that Li Xian valued Zhang Zijun very much, but Zhang Zijun still said it truthfully. He said to Liu Sheng: "Mr. Li will definitely enter the cabinet in the future, so don't mention the matter of marrying a daughter. Lord Li's little daughter will also marry into a wealthy family, not a poor family like a boy."

Liu Sheng didn't have to talk about this media either. He was just trying to find out and touch it. Since the conversation had come to this point, he would have to touch the topic on the ills of the exam this time. Those two great masters are so shameless.

Yao Xi, who was standing beside him, smiled, and Liu Sheng asked curiously: "Brother Nian has any happy events, so that everyone can be happy."

Yao Xi immediately said, "Since Zijun's virtuous brother does not become Lord Li's son-in-law, then be the son-in-law of the Yao family. My father also has this meaning, and the whole family agrees. You and my brother are familiar with each other and don't feel embarrassed. You have seen your younger sister Yao Ying. It was at the poetry meeting a few years ago. Now I am seventeen years old and I am just right with Zijun. How about it?"

Before Zhang Zijun could react, Liu Sheng praised him on the side. He was helpless and forced Zhang Zijun to express his feelings, "I'm not hiding the two brothers, I don't dislike my younger sister Miss Yao Ying. Look at this family, there are no parents and no relatives. The courtyard where I currently live is still owned by Lord Li. I can say that I am penniless and poor. It's not right to be a mismatch with Miss Yao Ying. I can't afford to be a good match. Just like Lord Li's little girl, I'm not a spy on me."

Liu Sheng said, "My brother, Lord Li's daughter and Brother Yao's younger sister are more optimistic about Brother Yao. These words are heartfelt words, so I think of Zijun."

Yao Xi interjected: "Zijun tells you the truth. The grandfather nodded in this matter. My father agreed. My younger sister also had this idea and had been waiting for Zijun. So I don't know how many matchmakers I have pushed in the past few years. Don't hesitate about this matter. The Yao family is not short of family resources. Zijun is very envious of his poverty. He is free and does not have so many rules at home."

Liu Sheng kept saying: Yes, no!

It's enough to say this, and Yao Xi personally said that he was a matchmaker. What else could he say? He was unkind if he was so affectionate. Since it was Miss Yao Ying so deeply affectionate, I felt ashamed of me.

Yao Xi nodded when he saw Zhang Zijun and was overjoyed. He had to ask for a token before he could stop. Zhang Zijun thought that it was true. In ancient times, people had very complicated operations on marriage, so what should I give this token? After thinking about it, I took out a small square mirror from the desk. This was pulled off by Zhang Zijun from the sun visor in the car. Now Du Zhuang, who can carpenters at home, has inlaid it on a piece of sandalwood, and cloud patterns are carved on all sides.

In Yao Xi and Liu Sheng's opinion, such a token is too expensive. Not only is the mirror transparent and eye-catching, it can clearly show off its hair, so the two of them were stunned.

Yao Xi and Liu Sheng are also a noble family. I have never seen any kind of treasures. As soon as the mirror came out, all the treasures in the family became vulgar. Just as the two of them were looking over and over again, Zhang Zijun said: "This is a mirror, which is a little smaller. The vulgar property rights are used as a token of Miss Yao Ying."

This makes people live without a living, Liu Sheng said: "It is rare to see this mirror made of glass. I also said that my family is poor and I will kill you!"

Yao Xi pointed to the mirror and said, "Zi Jun, is this object too expensive? Just use ordinary items instead, such as jade pendants, folding fans, calligraphy and paintings."

Zhang Zijun shook his head and said, "No, look at this house, there is not even a decent furniture, so what jade pendant is there. It's this thing. This is a treasure heirloom in the family. It's also covered with dust when placed here. It's better to give it to lovers."

Oh, Liu admires it. Zijun is not arrogant for joy, does not move for profit, and regards treasures as cheap. This is noble! I am not as good as I can!

Yao Xi happily left with a mirror, Liu Sheng said goodbye, and said before leaving: "I will reply to the teacher, saying that Zijun already had a marriage, the granddaughter of Yao Weishan, the Yao family."

The glass mirrors in the Ming Dynasty were not brought from the West until the Chongzhen period, but they were not very clear to people. During the Jingtai period, Zheng He brought glasses when he went to the West. Glasses made of glass were perfectly high-end products. Zhang Ning, who was once a high school Jinshi and served as the prefect of Tingzhou, mentioned in his "Fangzhou Miscellaneous Records" that he wrote, the first tool to assist vision in ancient China, but it was not called glasses at that time, but "Yuan". These two words probably came from foreign pronunciations.

Translation: When Xiang was in Beijing, he was in charge of Hu Feng's apartment and saw that the gifts given to Xuan Temple by his father, Zong Bogong, were two of which were big money. The shape and color were similar to mica stone, and the quality was very thin. He used the outline of the metal to form a handle, and combined it into one, and the difference was two, like a middle box in the market. The old man's eyes were dull and he did not distinguish the word "fine" and he opened the object in both eyes, and the word "ming" was doubled closer. What is even more precious is that this was a gift given to his ministers by Emperor Xuanzong.

Of course, the emperor rewards are all treasures. The function of this treasure is: "The old man's eyes are dim and he does not distinguish the word "finely". If he opens this object in his eyes, his characters are bright and his characters are doubled."

It must be that Mr. Hu Feng was dizzy in his eyes. When he went to court, he couldn't even see the big word on the throne. The emperor was anxious for him and it was difficult to blame him, so he gave him such a treasure.
