Mu Renqing smiled: "It seems that the Zhenbei Prince's Palace is having double happiness today. I wonder which princess from the Prince's Palace is Brother Nanchu looking for?"
"Second Princess Hongying!"
Everyone was shocked, and the prince suddenly raised his head...
Two men and horses are seeking the same princess, this...z.br
Mu Renqing's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't know which royal palace Brother Nanchu is asking for."
Which palace?
One sentence hit the weak point of the Nanchu layman, and the Nanchu layman was speechless for a moment.
Mu Renqing proposed marriage on behalf of the prince of Hejian Palace, but he proposed marriage on behalf of Dacang, a border military general. This was not on the same level at all. Although he had the handle in Lin Su's hands and did not dare not to speak, he felt that
There's no way we can win...
Lin Su stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Ci Zong is the brother of the Dai family who proposed to the Second Princess for marriage."
"The young master is..." The prince's eyes fell on Lin Su's face. Lin Su followed the Nanchu layman into the palace and did not reveal his identity from the beginning to the end. Everyone took it for granted that he was just a disciple of the Nanchu layman, but now, he spoke.
Lin Su bowed and said, "I am Lin Su, from Da Cang Kingdom, and my brother is General Lin Zheng of Blood Rain Pass."
The prince's expression changed.
Lin Zheng!
He knew this name, it could even be said to be a poisonous thorn in his heart.
My daughter has been away from home for three years and has been with this wild man for three years. Although she has not lost her virginity, it is still a huge stain. If he still has the military power in his hands, he even wants to go to Xueyuguan to kill this bastard.
When I took my head off, I never thought that this bastard would dare to send someone to propose marriage!
Several great scholars from the Hejian Palace laughed at the same time: "How can a small border general be worthy of marrying a princess? Don't you think this is an idiot's dream?"
Lin Su smiled faintly: "Holy words, the relationship between a lady and a gentleman is to greet each other with courtesy, respect each other as guests, care for each other, love each other, and eventually become a good couple. How can there be limitations of status? How can we talk about being worthy or unworthy?"
He spoke the Holy Word.
Reasonable and well-founded.
Several great scholars were stunned at the same time. One of them thought for a moment and said: "Our country has its own regulations. It has been a thousand-year practice for the daughters of princes not to enter poor families."
Lin Sudao: "It has been a millennium practice in Nanyang, and it is inconvenient for students to argue...however, how can you judge that my Lin family must be from a poor family?"
"Haha..." The great scholar smiled faintly: "The standard of a poor family varies from person to person. In your opinion, having three meals a day and sleeping in bed at night may not be called a "poor family"; but in the eyes of the Hejian Prince's Palace, it is not a "poor family".
The holy way is all from poor families!"
If you don’t enter the holy way, you will all be from a poor family!
This is the contempt that people in the literary world have for martial arts.
Although this is not included in the classics, it is also a conventional standard.
Why can't Jiang Men keep his head up? It's because there is such a standard. No matter how prominent your martial arts is, no matter how strong your military exploits are, no matter how glorious you are as king and marquis, you are not following the holy path. Therefore, are you worthy of it?
In the upper class society, you are just a "fool".
This great scholar is obviously smart.
He only knew that the person chosen by the other party for the princess was a military general, and he knew nothing about his life background. In this case, it was stupid to blindly use wealth to challenge others, so he chose a more impeccable breakthrough, that is
Firmly grasp the identity of the opponent's general and make a fuss about it.
It is customary for a general to come from a general family. If a general does not enter the holy way, he is from a poor family!
This is the shackles that have been placed on the Lin family. If you have the ability, you can overthrow eight generations of your ancestors. Otherwise, you will never be able to escape from the shackles of a poor family.
Lin Su nodded lightly: "If you don't enter the holy way, you are a poor family. It's really a lofty theory... So the question is, has the Hejian Prince's Palace ever entered the holy way? Is it considered a poor family?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.
The Crown Prince of Hejian stood up and said, "Bold maniac, dare to insult our Prince of Hejian..."
His voice suddenly stopped, because even though he was a bit bold, he saw that something was wrong with the situation. Today he was asking for marriage, and he was not in the Hejian Palace...
Lin Su said calmly: "
It seems that the prince is used to bossing around, and for a moment he forgot where he was. Lin just asked a question. If you can answer it, you can answer it. If you can't answer or it's inconvenient to answer, you can choose not to answer, so why get angry?"
The prince became even angrier, but Elder Mu glanced at him and stopped him.
A great scholar on the left took over: "Young Master must not know much about the Hejian Palace, right?"
"yes!"
The scholar smiled and said: "Hejian Palace, the thirty-first scholar in the past hundred years, do you think the young master has entered the holy way?"
Lin Su narrowed his eyes: "If you pass the imperial examination, does it count as entering the holy way?"
"Of course, if it is not a home with a prosperous literary style and a place where the holy way is nurtured, how can there be so many scholars and scholars?"
Lin Su smiled: "Then I, the Lin family, can be considered to have entered the holy way!"
Everyone was shocked at the same time.
Even though the Lin family is a general, he can also become a scholar? Is this a lie?
The great scholar fixed his gaze on his face, half-smiling but not smiling: "Did your ancestors of the Lin family also produce Jinshi?"
"It's not about our ancestors, it's about the present!" Lin Su said: "My second brother and I are both Jinshi."
The whole audience was shocked at the same time. Except for one person, this person was naturally the layman of Nanchu. He was the only one in the audience who knew Lin Su’s real background.
Several great scholars looked at each other in shock, digesting the shock in their hearts. The young man in front of them, who was only twenty years old, was actually a Jinshi? And he also had a second brother who was also a Jinshi?
Nanyang is a place where the literary style flourishes. A family has accumulated it for decades or hundreds of years. It is not uncommon for a family to produce several Jinshi. However, this is accumulated from generation to generation. It is rare for one person to have two scholars in one branch.
The situation of two Jinshi being in the same room.
Even in the Hejian Palace, which is famous for its literary style, there are currently only three Jinshi alive in this generation.
One of the great scholars forced a smile: "Double Jinshi in one discipline is not bad, but do you think two Jinshi are comparable to the thirty Jinshi in the Hejian Palace?"
"There is a difference between a Jinshi and a Jinshi!" Lin Sudao said, "But I don't know how many of the 31 people in your mansion are Holy Jinshi?"
"There are also two Holy Scholars!" Several great scholars responded proudly.
Lin Sudao: "What a coincidence, the Lin family also has two holy scholars!"
Everyone was shocked at the same time, the two brothers were actually Holy Jinshis? How is this possible? Two Jinshis from the same family, one generation, are still Holy Jinshis? There is no such family in the entire ancient Nanyang Kingdom!
As Lin Su said, there is a difference between a Jinshi and a Jinshi. The Holy Jinshi is the most valuable one. Once you become a Holy Jinshi, you will be recognized by the temple as the home of the Holy Way!
This is the end of the theory of poor families.
The Lin family has two Holy Scholars, so it is not a poor family! It is an extremely mysterious and magical family, because this family can cultivate two Holy Scholars in one generation!
This little-known family, which was originally not comparable to the royal family, suddenly gained a magical aura.
A few great scholars were a little confused. They were originally tasked with suppressing the Lin family. How come their gut-wrenching verbal attacks failed to add any glory to the palace, but instead made the other family more powerful?
Which part is wrong?
They couldn't find what the problem was, and the Crown Prince was even more confused. He couldn't hold it back for a moment and scolded the person in front of him. Why did he suddenly feel that he was the worst performer in the audience?
Even the King of Zhenbei didn't look kindly on him.
Yes, the King of Zhenbei also suddenly had a strange feeling. He liked Lin Su no matter how he looked at her. He was neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and restrained. On such an occasion, he talked so eloquently that he actually stole the show.
Is this the demeanor of a young man?
This is the Lin Zheng...brother who makes him hate him so much?
How much of his demeanor does Lin Zheng have? If Lin Zheng is like him, he feels that he has an understanding of his daughter...
Outside Jingxian Pavilion, there was a maid at the window. Her face was red at the moment. She was not a maid. She just borrowed the maid's clothes. She was Miss Hongye. She heard the familiar voice through the window.
Her voice, her talk, and her face looked like this for some reason.
"Ahem..." Elder Mu, who had not spoken for a long time, coughed lightly, breaking the deathly silence.
Everyone's eyes gathered together, Elder Mu showed a smile on his face, and spoke: "Guan Guan Suijiu, in the River Continent, a fair lady, a gentleman is very good... The saint is sincere and will not be deceived by me. The name of the two princesses is spread throughout the world, and the two of them are
Fang Qiuzhi, I and Brother Nan Chu are divided into two trustees, and it is not easy to argue. How about asking the prince's brother to come to the palace in person to discuss talents with the prince for the prince's selection? "
The eyes of everyone in the Hejian Prince's Palace were brightened at the same time.
Yes, what did they do just now?
Why bother with this young prodigy?
It’s not like he’s asking for marriage!
He is asking for marriage on behalf of his brother!
No matter how perfect he behaves, what's the point? His brother is a big boss. If I don't get blinded when this situation comes, I will eat all the wine glasses in front of me...
"What Elder Mu said is true!" a great scholar said.
Another great scholar took over: "Yes, sincerity can only be seen when great heroes come from across the border!"
"The two debated in front of each other, and the prince chose the best one. It is a good story!"
Nanchu layman raised his eyes and met Lin Su's eyes. There was also helplessness in his eyes. Mr. Lin, it's not that I won't help you. In this situation, I really can't help. Your brother didn't come, so you come.
When asking for a marriage, look at it three hundred years in advance and five hundred years in the future. Is there anything weird like this...
Lin Su frowned and said: "What Elder Mu said is indeed reasonable. However, my brother was ordered by the emperor to be stationed at the border. It is difficult to leave the border for a while. His talk about Taoism and eloquence may not be possible for a while... I have a suggestion, I don't know, Your Majesty.
Are you willing to listen?"
King Zhenbei nodded: "Sir, please speak!"
Lin Sudao: "The princess's marriage is related to her life. We cannot allow the princess to make her own decision!"
County owner self-determination?
Several great scholars changed their colors at the same time. They planned to get married to the Prince of Zhenbei. Naturally, they also knew something about the princess. Although the Prince of Zhenbei tried hard to conceal her reputation as a deviant, some rumors finally spread to the outside world. Some people said
Well, the princess has a lifelong private engagement with Da Cang, a military general. Now it seems that it is very possible! If the princess makes her own decision, the princess will definitely choose the Lin family.
A great scholar immediately objected: "Sheng Yun, obeying your father at home involves important matters in your life. It is the prince who decides it with a single word. How can your children make their own decision? Where do you put filial piety?"
Lin Sudao: "Sir's understanding of filial piety is biased! The Holy Word: Those who love their relatives do not dare to be evil to others; those who respect their relatives do not dare to be arrogant to others, and love and respect are devoted to their relatives...respect is filial piety, kindness is love,
It is natural for children to respect their parents, and it is human ethics for parents to love their children. The prince founded the world with benevolence and governed the family with love. When it comes to life-long matters of his daughter, what is wrong with asking his daughter? How can it be unfilial to ask his daughter's opinion before deciding her life? On the contrary, respect
Complementing each other with kindness is true great filial piety, great virtue and great love!”
When he said these words, the whole place fell into silence.
He interpreted the sage's "Book of Filial Piety" penetratingly.
How to argue?
If you insist that the prince not ask for his daughter's opinion, isn't it putting the prince into an unkind, unloving and unkind situation?
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of several great scholars. Only now did they truly realize how troublesome the young man in front of them was.
King Zhenbei frowned. Why did he suddenly feel that the conflict had been transferred to his head?
Everyone was waiting for him to express his position. He found it difficult. If he went ahead and married his daughter to the Prince of Hejian, would he have fallen into the trap of Lin Su? It showed that he was unkind, unloving and immoral.
Unworthy of being a father?...
Nanchu layman gently put down the wine glass in his hand, making a soft sound, breaking the dead silence again.
The layman from Nanchu spoke: "Elder Mu also said just now that a gentle lady is a good gentleman and a good story. Since it is a good story, there is no need to be so close to each other. I have an idea and I rashly offer it to you.
How to decide?"
King Zhenbei was relieved: "Ci Zong, please speak."
A layman from Nanchu said: "Good stories about love are good stories, and good stories about literary circles are also good stories. Why don't we invite Mr. Lin to share them with everyone?"
A great scholar made friends with his poems and discussed Taoism with his essays. If Mr. Lin wins, the prince will fulfill Mr. Lin's wish and a good relationship will come true. If Mr. Lin loses, he will be punished with three cups of wine and go away. This is also a good story in the literary world. How about it?
The marriage-seeking meeting turned into a literary meeting?
Make friends with poetry, and determine victory or defeat with writing?
This is so exciting, almost everyone likes it!
The several great scholars were all pumped up at the same time. They raised their eyes and looked at Elder Mu, the backbone of their side. They sincerely expected Elder Mu to nod. In the early debate, they lost, but now they were able to argue with words.
Given a chance to make a comeback, who wouldn’t want to make a comeback? And they rely on their profound poetry skills, so they will definitely be able to make a comeback!
Elder Mu was a little moved, but he was mature and prudent, how could he dare to express his opinion easily? He didn't know the literary background of the twenty-year-old young man in front of him. If the boat capsized in the gutter, he would not be able to explain it to the King of Hejian. He, a great poet saint,
The top elder of the family also has a stain on his head.
King Zhenbei was excited.
As God testifies, he is not willing to marry the King of Hejian, because he clearly knows what the King of Hejian is marrying him for, which is to slowly penetrate and annex some of the territory of the Zhenbei Palace.
But he didn't dare to resist, he was worried about angering the King of Hejian.
That's why he wanted to marry his daughter to the prince of Hejian, who had a bad reputation.
Now, Ci Zong came up with a good idea, let them compete, and the winning or losing depends on their own abilities. If the King of Hejian fails to live up to expectations and loses, it will not be blamed on the Prince of Zhenbei, and there is no reason to take revenge on the King of Zhenbei.
