Confucius was shameless, everyone was talking about his own words, and everyone burst out laughing.
He glanced at the three of them again with strange looks.
Although I already knew, what did the eyes of the three of them mean?
But at this moment, ask yourself, why do you still want to be embarrassed?
Can you give it to yourself if you want face? What's the use? What else is more important than the happiness of your granddaughter?
It goes without saying that the answer is that I have made my own choice. In the final analysis, my granddaughter’s happiness is the most important thing in her life!
"I said Confucius, what you are doing is a bit unethical?
Today I am talking to my virtuous brother about my daughter’s marriage, how could you interfere in the meantime?"
"Hey, Shopkeeper Li, Mr. Zhao is such a talented person, he is like a bright pearl falling here in the Tang Dynasty.
It was just shopkeeper Li who got it first, so he got it first.
And now that I know that there is a talent like Mr. Zhao, don’t I also want to step forward and get a ladle of water?
Don't worry, Shopkeeper Li, my granddaughter is not as old as your wife.
Even if she is married to Young Master Zhao, your wife's position will still be above that of my granddaughter."
Anyway, Mr. Zhao said that in his eyes, there is no difference between a wife and a concubine?
All people are wives. If anyone else said this, he would definitely not believe it.
Not to mention others, even the current emperor in front of him only has one queen, and the rest are all concubines.
In addition to other families and various other people, who dares to say how many wives he has?
And these wives of mine are all equal?
The so-called three wives and four concubines are just folk sayings.
In fact, among the people, one husband and one wife are all monogamous, and only those who are relatively strong have multiple wives and concubines.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty also protected the rights of wives. Relatively speaking, concubines had no rights at all.
Mr. Zhao is the first person in the Tang Dynasty to do this, I admire him!
As expected, that sentence is true, if this is gold, it will shine wherever it is.
This man is very powerful. No matter what dynasty he is in, this girl will be the one to fall for him regardless of his age.
Just Confucius, you said your granddaughter is over 17 years old and you want her to marry me, but what does she look like?
Tall, short, fat or thin?
After all, in the eyes of every parent, their children are the most beautiful!
Li Er seemed to have read through Zhao Mu's thoughts and glanced at the excited Kong Fuzi.
"I said Confucius, you keep talking about how your granddaughter looks.
But my dear brother has never seen such a flower. How can I promise you?
Besides, my good brother believes in free love, so the so-called parents’ orders to find a matchmaker are totally useless to my good brother.
Tell me, at least let me, my dear brother, see what this person looks like.
In this way, whether the two people can get along with each other and whether they can make eye contact.
I do believe that Confucius, your granddaughter, is definitely from a scholarly family.
But before I meet this person, my dear brother can’t promise you, right?”
This is also correct.
Look at my memory, I got this character confused again.
For other people, it doesn't matter, but for Mr. Zhao, things cannot be done like this.
"Master, if I tell you that you have time anyway, you can send a letter to Shandong.
Send it directly to the Kong family, and then send someone to take your granddaughter to Chang'an City and bring her to Zhaojiazhuang, so that my dear brother can take a good look at it.
If it's a good fit, the wedding will be a done deal as soon as they hit it off.
Wait until winter to get married together.
If it’s not suitable, is it possible that this is the only woman in your Kong family?”
After hearing this, Kong Xian suddenly realized.
"Oh, oh, shopkeeper Li, what you said is true, what you said is true.
Look at me, I'm so excited, how could I forget such an important thing?
It's my fault, my fault. So, Mr. Zhao, just talk to shopkeeper Li first, and I'll send someone to deliver the message immediately."
Zhao Mu, who was sitting aside, quietly heard what the two of them said, and his old face turned into a bitter gourd.
Speaking of what you two said, did you discuss the opinions of the parties involved?
Why does it feel like the two of them have arranged their future lives?
He still talked and laughed and expressed this matter vividly. It seems that he didn't care about his own thoughts at all?
"Shopkeeper Li, Mr. Zhao, you two are chatting for now. I'll come back when I go, and I'll come back when I go."
As he spoke, Kong Xian left in a hurry, leaving only Zhao Mu with an embarrassed face and Li Er laughing at the side.
Can Li Er be unhappy at this moment?
The Kong family, perhaps their family strength cannot be compared with the seven major families of the Tang Dynasty, or other big families.
But the reputation of the Kong family is unmatched by any family in the entire world.
This is why after he became emperor, he immediately sent people to the Kong family, hoping that the Kong family would arrange for some individuals to serve as officials in the court.
Even if you give them a false position, you must also give them a reason for their position.
After all, there are still too few scholars in the world, and the operation of the court requires a large number of scholars to assist.
For example, to govern a county, if you find a farmer who can't even read, how should you govern it?
Is it possible that people should learn to farm?
However, my ideals are good, but the reality is cruel.
The Kong family's attitude towards the court was aloof and not obvious. This feeling made Li Er unhappy, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
In addition to them, including other big families, I want the prince to marry the daughters of these big families for marriage, so as to gradually gain control.
But he still disagreed. In this case, he could also use indirect methods to marry his daughter to his wise brother.
His daughter's granddaughter also married a wise brother. In this way, the court and the Kong family had some connection because of his wise brother.
By that time, some matters will be dealt with and the Kong family will no longer be able to join the team. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Let me tell you, Lao Li, what you just talked about was too much. You don't care about my client's feelings at all!"
"Oh, dear brother, you don't know, in fact, I, Lao Li, said it on purpose.
I had gone to Shandong to do business before and met members of the Kong family.
The daughter of the Kong family received very strict tutoring since she was a child, and she knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In addition, female workers and others are also under his control.
At that time, I thought, if I could allow my son to marry a Confucian wife, I would be happy to celebrate.
However, people don't look down on you at all, dear brother, since there is such a good thing.
Marrying one is also a wedding, and marrying three is also a wedding. If you ask me, take all three.
With such a good brother, it is normal for him to marry more than one."
Zhao Mu's eyes widened, good guy, what kind of values is this?
This value system sounds a bit distorted.
Everyone hopes that their daughter will marry a man and only love her daughter for the rest of her life.
And he, Lao Li, hopes that he will be a philanthropist. Isn't this a bit too much?
"My dear brother, a man is born between heaven and earth, why should he have no wife?
Having three wives and four concubines is normal, which shows how strong this man is.
If you behave like a coward with some men, even I, Lao Li, will look down on you."
"I said Lao Li, how many have you married?"
"Hahahaha, not too much, not too much, just over 10, hahahaha."
"I'll do it."
Zhao Mu couldn't help but curse. Before traveling through the Tang Dynasty, he knew that in ancient times, three wives and four concubines were very normal for them.
This is especially true for those with prominent family backgrounds and strong strength.
It's just that after traveling through the Tang Dynasty, I just became an idle fish in Zhuangzi.
The oldest official I know is the local magistrate. He has a wife and four concubines.
Apart from this, the rest are ordinary people, all of whom are monogamous.
He had long known that Lao Li was definitely not a wife, but he had never asked.
Didn't expect him to be so strong?
"I said Lao Li, are you tired?
Do you feel that you are particularly weak sometimes?"
As if he had mentioned his unspeakable secret, Li Er looked around and whispered to those around him.
"Brother, I believe in you. You are still young. You can't be like me. Alas."
He said with a helpless sigh.
Women will eventually affect the speed of drawing the sword.
But there is no way, who makes himself the emperor?
The rain and dew are all wet, and there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Although I have not reached this level, my body is indeed a bit overwhelmed.
So, from time to time, I have to only eat vegetarian food and not meat.
However, when this person reaches middle age, especially this man, he must not say that he is not good at it.
"Actually, I have a special medicine that can make you eat meat every day. Do you need it?"
Li Er's eyes widened.
"Brother Xian, are you kidding me? Is there really such a medicine?"
The imperial doctor also prescribed some such tonics to himself, but these tonics could only regulate the body.
If you want to eat meat every day, it is easy to harm your body.
But when my brother Xian said this, this matter became serious.
What he said must be true, thinking about it made me laugh.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Mu smiled evilly. He was also a man and knew all these things.
There is no need to be so arrogant about the issue of eating meat or vegetarian food.
The reason why I am so aloof is because I am a picky eater. If I meet someone I like to eat, I will eat it!
"My dear brother, you are truly my lucky star.
So I, Lao Li, would like to thank you in advance,
Hahahahaha!”
"Mr. Zhao, Shopkeeper Li, what did you two talk about after I left?
Shopkeeper Li was so happy that I could already hear his laughter outside."
Kong Xian just left the front hall and went to the study.
Today, after the people from the Imperial College sent him to Zhaojiazhuang, they let them stay in the study and did not go to the front hall to disturb his communication with Mr. Zhao.
There was nothing left to do, so he directly sent someone back to Chang'an City, took his letters and tokens, and returned to Shandong.
He quickly took his granddaughter to Chang'an City.
Although they did not understand the purpose of their elder brother's doing this.
However, he took the letter and left in a hurry to deal with it. This chapter has been completed!
