Chapter 40: Matchmaking
I have never had a good impression of Zhang Guoji, a member of the royal family. The Ming Dynasty has been very wary of princes since the founding of the country. Many talented princes have no place to display their talents under such circumstances, and most of them are nothing but lackeys in fighting cocks.
After so many years, there are no young talents named Zhu anymore.
Although Zhang Guoji is just a small official, he has no intention of trying to catch up with others. He has always loved a daughter like him, so how could he have the heart to marry her to the prince's palace? Since ancient times, there has been a saying that entering a noble family is as deep as the sea.
It's like pushing your daughter into a pit of fire! But you can't just refuse her. The princes of the Ming Dynasty are a very special group. Although the emperor is very strict with them, as long as they don't oppose them, these princes will
He is also very tolerant. No matter whether he is wandering around the countryside or doing anything, he always turns a blind eye.
If I don't agree, I'm afraid this will be the disaster of annihilation. Thinking of this, Zhang Guoji looks at Li Changmao with a somewhat unkind look. This is not a matchmaker! He is simply forcing himself. The most hateful thing is that this guy comes in and traps him step by step.
He threw himself into the ditch. It was obviously too late to regret at this time, and fine beads of sweat were slowly flowing out of Zhang Guoji's forehead.
Looking at Zhang Guoji's appearance, Li Changmao knew that he was right. This guy really didn't want to. Fortunately, he was more skilled, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do anything. At this time, the old guy had no excuses to make. He couldn't help but feel happy.
I wish I could laugh out loud.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Guoji sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Why is the county magistrate so bothered? Zhang thinks he has not offended the county magistrate!"
Li Changmao had already expected Zhang Guoji's reaction. When he saw what he said, he quickly said: "Zhang Yuan's words are wrong. I am sending a fortune to your Zhang family. How can you say that?"
"Why did the county magistrate say that, Zhang, alas!" Zhang Guoji wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say, so he could only let out a long sigh.
Zhang's Mansion, Houzhai, Qingxi Building.
"Miss, miss, it's not good." A thirteen-year-old girl panted and ran upstairs. When she reached the third floor, she suddenly opened the door and said loudly.
At this time, a girl was sitting in the room, looking at the little girl who came in with a smile.
"Xiaohuan, I told you many times not to be so surprised." The girl frowned slightly at this time. Although she was a little angry, she still had a unique charm. Her fair face could be broken by blows, and her body was as light as a willow.
Wearing a white dress looks even more beautiful and luxurious.
This girl is the daughter of Zhang Yan and Zhang Guoji, the person Li Changmao wants to recommend this time. The maid called Xiaohuan by the girl obviously did not take her words to heart. She quickly walked to the front of the table and poured herself a cup of herbal tea, and then
Drink it all.
Seeing the maid sweating profusely, the girl smiled bitterly and shook her head. It seemed that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
"Tell me! What happened this time? Did you lose the money bag or did you beat up a young master from another family?" Obviously the maid's reputation is not very good, and in the eyes of the girl, she is a very unreliable person.
People, obviously this is not the first time such a thing has happened.
"Miss, this time it's your business." The maid obviously wanted to whet the girl's appetite. After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and looked at the girl expectantly.
The girl smiled softly and did not say anything. She reached out and gently touched the strings of the piano in front of her, and a pleasant sound of the piano suddenly sounded in the room.
Seeing the girl's appearance, the maid's face immediately turned red. She stamped her feet fiercely and said loudly: "It's like this every time. I don't know where the young lady got such patience. Someone has come to act as a matchmaker for the young lady.
"The maid obviously doesn't have that much patience and can only surrender.
"Is there anything strange? We don't have a few matchmakers coming to our house that month? Is there such a fuss?" The girl continued to play with the strings without raising her head. Apparently playing the piano attracted her attention more than matchmaking.
"It's different this time. This time it's the magistrate who comes and has already talked with grandpa. I just heard that this time it's a family from the capital." When the maid saw the girl's appearance, she suddenly showed an anxious look on her face and shouted loudly.
said.
The sound of the piano in the room suddenly stopped. The girl's face was full of disbelief and her body was shaking a little. She raised her head and said: "Jingcheng, no, how could dad let me marry to the capital?" The girl's voice was full of emotion.
The maid looked at him in disbelief.
At this time, the Zhang Mansion had already fallen into chaos. As the news spread, countless people were concerned about this matter. Zhang Guoji's mother, Mrs. Zhang, was walking to her daughter-in-law. This granddaughter loved her dearly.
Youjia. He has no son but this granddaughter. If he marries to the capital, wouldn’t it cost him his life?
Zhang Guoji's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was also very anxious at this time and wanted to find her husband so that he could refuse the marriage. However, the education she received since she was a child told her that she is just a woman and cannot make the decision on her own. What's more, it is not her responsibility to show up in public.
What a woman should do is to walk back and forth in the house at this time, praying to God not to let her husband agree to this.
While the women behind were busy, Zhang Guoji in the hall was also shaking his head and smiling bitterly. He glanced at the smiling Li Changmao and Zhang Guoji wished he could drive this guy out. Although he thought so in his heart, he could not do so. Zhang Guoji said helplessly:
"Sir, I wonder if you took the initiative to be the matchmaker or were you entrusted by someone else?"
In Zhang Guoji's opinion, the magistrate Li Changmao was most likely responsible for what happened this time. If he had taken the initiative to show dissatisfaction on the part of the capital, there might have been room for change.
"Of course this is my initiative. I have had this idea since I last met my niece Xian. With Brother Zhang's identity and status, people from ordinary families naturally cannot be discerned by Brother Zhang. It was not until this time that I found the right brother.
My family!" Li Changmao had already changed their names at this time, drawing the relationship between them closer without leaving any trace.
"Brother Xian, you also know that it is really difficult for a brother to marry a daughter to a brother in the capital. Do you think that?" Zhang Guoji felt relieved after hearing Li Changmao's words. As long as the other side didn't know about it, then this matter would be easy to handle.
. He followed Li Guochang's words and drew the relationship between the two closer again.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Changmao knew that it was time for a showdown. It might be very troublesome if it dragged on any longer. He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, do you know which company I want to introduce to you this time?"
