Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around, "What do you think my father-in-law is doing?"
It's probably a killing stick, right?
That's okay.
The old thief said sympathetically: "Mr. Lang, this is a closed door."
Wang Laoer sniffed and said, "Lang Jun, when I went to beg in the past, anyone who opened the door would give me some food. Even if I didn't have anything to eat, I would give him a bowl of water. There wouldn't even be a blade of grass behind the door."
"nonsense!"
Yang Xuan was a little nervous, "Wait a minute."
I thought that Boss Yang was prospering in Northern Xinjiang, but I didn't expect that he would be rejected today.
It's just that he was rejected, but it's hard for him to leave...
The old thief whispered: "Lang Jun, sincerity is very important."
These words deeply touched my heart!
It's nothing to suffer a little for the one you love.
The old thief and Wang Laoer took a few steps back.
"Why step back?"
"If someone looks at you through the crack in the door, we can't block it."
"I don't think so. You're worried that you'll get into trouble if you splash water inside."
Yang Xuan was waiting outside. Someone had already sent the news in.
"The man's name is Yang Xuan, and he brings a carriage with gifts. I remember that Lang Jun mentioned this person last time, saying that he was wishful thinking, so I closed the door."
Menzi looked like a loyal minister.
This position seems to be leisurely, but there is a lot of money and wealth. The higher the status of the family, the higher the status of the guests coming and going.
Don't expect rewards from friends and relatives, but those who come to see you will inevitably use silver bullets to clear the way.
Collecting money to report is a transaction. After one year, Menzi's income is not much lower than the salary of the magistrate of Chang'an County.
So he is loyal from the bottom of his heart... willing to guard the door of the Zhou family for the rest of his life.
Zhou Zun thought for a moment and then recalled the young man.
Sure enough, as soon as the cabbages at home were ripe, everyone came.
But Aning likes this person.
Thinking of his daughter's attitude towards Yang Xuan last time, Zhou Zun had a headache.
It is an instinct that everyone has to guess the higher meaning. The stronger the ambition, the more passionate this thought will be.
There is also a steward above the disciple who is in charge of the entrance to the mansion, and that position is more lucrative... If each disciple wants to be secure, he must give him benefits every month. Over time, he has a small fortune.
Maybe, the opportunity is right in front of you.
Starve the coward to death.
Be brave enough!
Menzi was blinded by desire and said rashly, "Lang Jun, that man looks like a country boy!"
Zhou Zun raised his eyes, neither angry nor happy.
This is... you guessed it right?
Menzi even thought about how to get rid of that person.
"The man didn't leave."
Zhou Zun said calmly: "This person is inappropriate."
Menzi was shocked. Although he didn't know why his words offended Lang Jun, he immediately wanted to kneel down and apologize.
A guard flew over. Before he knelt down, he raised his hand and lifted him up. Then he slapped him with his backhand. Menzi felt his chest was tight and could not make a sound.
Immediately the door was opened.
Zhou Zun said calmly: "Is this the kind of person who An Ning likes can comment on?"
But in an instant, his face darkened, "He must have gone to the Imperial College first, you little thief!"
Thinking that his daughter must have been secretly attracted to her, Zhou Zun couldn't calm down.
In his opinion, his daughter's marriage should naturally be more cautious. Back then, he and his father had taken a fancy to a young man, but Zhou Ning didn't like it and went to the Imperial Academy for this.
Why!
Zhou Zun stood up and walked to the backyard with some staggering steps.
"Aye!"
"Well!" Zhou Qin was drinking tea, and the maid next to him was beating her thighs, which was particularly comfortable.
"Aye, the young man Aning likes is here." Zhou Zun said.
Zhou Qin put down his teacup and asked, "How is that person doing now?"
Zhou Zun shook his head.
"Know yourself and know the enemy, hey! Go and ask."
"yes."
Of course, there is no need for Zhou Zun to do this kind of thing.
The father and son sat together drinking tea and talking about Zhou Ning's marriage.
"Go to a family with four surnames, or a second-class family, but the children must be motivated. In addition, they must not be lustful."
"Aye, Yang opened his eyes for Zhang's child, but Yang can't do it anymore."
"Well! You are quite clever."
"There are three more families."
Less than half an hour later, the steward came back.
This efficiency is absolutely amazing.
"Then Yang Xuan originally studied in the Imperial College, went to Wannian County to work as a bad commander, and saved a noble concubine, and then went to Taiping County in northern Xinjiang to work as a county magistrate..."
"Stop it!" the old man coughed dryly, "The imperial concubine is favored. Since she is her savior, why did she go to places like Northern Xinjiang?"
The steward said: "This matter must be discussed later."
The old man picked up the water glass and the steward was excited, "He went voluntarily."
"Something interesting."
"Taiping County is a place of exile for criminals. Most of the people in the city are extremely vicious. They face the three major tribes of Northern Xinjiang and the city was defeated seven times."
Zhou Qin frowned, "To go to a place like this, you are either stupid or brave."
"As soon as Yang Xuan went there, he led a death camp composed of human prisoners to defeat the horse thieves, and then made Taiping County more prosperous. He accumulated his merits and went to Chenzhou to serve as Sima."
"Sima?" Zhou Zun's surprise was not because of his position. In Zhou's eyes, there was no difference between a state Sima and a minor official.
"Yes. A while ago, Yang Xuan made great achievements, which is said to have shocked Northern Xinjiang."
Zhou Qin nodded, "He is an outstanding young man, rare in Chang'an. But... he is still not worthy of Aning."
Origin is a big issue.
Zhou was like an uncrowned king, and Yang Xuan was like a country bumpkin, looking up and wanting to swallow Zhou's treasures in one gulp.
"It would be interesting if he had a better background." Zhou Zun said matter-of-factly.
Well-matched is never a derogatory term, it is the opposite.
If someone like Yang Xuan wants to marry Zhou Ning, it is a counterattack.
Counterattack is easy to say, but the woman’s parents will consider more... My daughter has been pampered since she was a child, whale caviar from the North Sea, clip meat from king crabs from the South China Sea, and swim bladder from the large yellow croaker from the East China Sea. This fish must weigh fifty kilograms.
The kind of soup made from shark bones from the West Sea... This is just an ingredient for one dish.
But with you Yang Xuan, from now on, the best delicacy for every meal is mutton, and wearing good clothes is also a dowry. How can the elders not feel distressed these days?
As for the counterattack... let's wait until you succeed in the counterattack and become an official before you propose marriage. As for your hair and beard being gray by then, my daughter will be a grandmother, so let's talk about it another time.
Zhou's high efficiency is not only reflected in the acquisition of information.
The new disciple has arrived.
"Alang, Langjun, Yang Xuan is still waiting outside."
"Tell him to give up!"
Menzi responded, took a few steps back and then turned around.
The old disciple fell. Under Lang Jun's attention, the manager did not dare to promote one of his own, but let him take over the job.
He now has two options: one is to please the manager immediately and become his person; the other is to be fair and strict and show his attitude.
Menzi vowed to take a fair and righteous path.
Not far out, I saw the steward in charge of the door.
"Ahem!" The steward coughed twice.
The door is closed.
From now on I am yours!
The manager said with a straight face, "Have a good time doing things."
"yes."
Menzi didn't know whether he was sad or happy, but he felt a sense of relief.
From then on, he no longer had to make a choice and just followed the manager.
He walked to the side door, stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "It's all forced by life!"
Opening the side door, he looked outside and said, "I'll make you give up!"
My father-in-law is determined to beat the couple.
At this time, someone came outside the Zhou family's door and shouted, "Don't bully the young man into being poor." Although it was refreshing, it also ruined the relationship between the two parties.
The old thief coughed dryly and stepped forward, "Mr. Lang, there are only two roads at this time."
Two more?
The old thief looked wise and said, "First, let me tell you what to do."
The Zhou family is the top aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty. Who is qualified to make a decision?
Among the people Yang Xuan met, only the imperial concubine had this qualification. But the four surnames of the family were accomplices to the queen, and they wished they could turn the imperial concubine into a Yuanzhou Braised Chicken.
"Secondly, Mr. Lang is now a father."
"What's the meaning?"
"That's it..." the old thief said with a wretched look, "Back then, someone in my hometown got pregnant out of wedlock. If the husband is worried about missing a hit, the villain has a secret method for giving birth to a child."
What the hell!
Yang Xuan's head was covered with black lines.
The old thief sighed: "There is a third way."
"No need to say it."
"yes!"
The so-called third way is similar to the second way.
I am willing to buy it if I have money.
If Zhou Ning insists on marrying Yang Xuan, unless Zhou confines her to her home, everything will be in vain.
However, Zhou Ning was in the Imperial College, and the territory of those Xuanmen disciples who were thinking about ascension was not a place where Zhou could run wild.
But making his sweetheart and family fall out was something Yang Xuan couldn't do.
“I’ll think of something later!”
Yang Xuan frowned.
"It's raining!"
Wang Laoer looked up at the sky.
The early winter rain fell in patter.
Yang Xuan's mood also became gloomy.
He slowly walked out of the street and turned into a small alley.
"Langjun!" the old thief reminded him in a low voice.
"What's the matter?"
"Front!"
Yang Xuan raised his head.
At the end of the alley, Zhou Ning stood there holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Wearing a long skirt, her eyebrows are picturesque.
Yang Xuan walked over slowly.
"Turn back!" The old thief turned around.
"Why?" Wang Laoer was puzzled.
"Lang Jun can't see it."
Oil-paper umbrellas blocked the sky for the two of them.
"Aning..."
"I know they won't agree."
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"It's just that the formality has to go through."
Zhou Ning's momentum suddenly changed.
Why does it smell like the wind blowing and the water is cold?
Yang Xuan said: "Let me think about this matter again."
"Unless you can become a descendant of an aristocratic family, there will be no way to change this matter."
Zhou Ning has already seen through the attitude of his family, "My marriage is one thing, and using marriage to build a relationship between the two families is the most important thing. They are used to this kind of marriage arrangement, and they think it is only natural, but I don't agree!"
"
There was a solemn expression between her eyebrows, "Zitai, wait for me!"
Yang Xuan wants to say don't go.
But what happens after you say it?
Zhou Ning will definitely go, otherwise the two of them will have no choice but to elope.
He is not afraid of elopement, and as a man there is no shame in it.
But Zhou Ning is different. If he doesn't get it right, he will be known as a prostitute. This is a great shame for a woman, and she will never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life.
Now he is in a dilemma.
For the first time, I feel that wisdom is useless when it comes to class differences.
"I'll go with you!"
The only thing he can do is this.
No matter what you face, I stand with you!
Zhou Ning's eyes were like explosions, and the joy just dissipated.
If a man is willing to bow his head for you, this is not because he is a bitch.
But he likes you!
Zhou family.
Knock knock knock!
Xinmenzi was already looking forward to the reward. He opened the side door and saw Yang Xuan at first sight.
"I told you to give up, why...little lady!"
Zhou Ning went home.
After hearing the news, Zhou Qin ordered: "Hurry up and get me my Taoist robe. Ahem, bring me the one that the girl made for me back then."
The maid leaned forward and said, "Alang, Yang Xuan is also here."
Zhou Qin was startled, "Is Aning determined?"
Compared with Zhou Qin, Zhou Zun was much more annoyed.
Later, the whole family will meet.
"You go out first!" Zhou Zun pointed at Yang Xuan, preparing for an internal meeting.
Yang Xuan shook his head and said seriously: "I'm almost seventeen. From entering the Imperial Academy to becoming the Sima of Chenzhou, no one helped me step by step. I relied on myself to get to where I am today, and I will go higher and further in the future.
.”
This is a statement.
Zhou Zun said calmly: "Zhou's daughter has been pampered for many years, do you have such financial resources?"
Zhou Ning said: "I have been in the Imperial College for several years and eat in the dining hall every day."
The girl was outgoing... Zhou Qin coughed dryly and said, "Aning, your marriage must be carefully considered."
Zhou Ning said: "Ah, I left home for marriage, but today I refuse to agree, so I went to set up a female household."
A female household means that the woman is the head of the household and makes all the decisions herself.
Of course, with such a giant as the Zhou family, Chang'an would not dare to set up this household registration for Zhou Ning for ten thousand years.
But this shows Zhou Ning's attitude.
Zhou Qin frowned, "It's bitterly cold in Northern Xinjiang."
"I'm not afraid."
"The aliens are running rampant over there, and you never know when the city will be breached."
Zhou Qin glanced at Yang Xuan and said, "Taiping was defeated for the seventh time."
Yang Xuan smiled, "The tribe that destroyed the city is called Waxie, and they were exterminated by me and the Taiping Army just this year!"
Zhou Ning didn't know about this yet, but there was something strange in his eyes.
Zhou Qin: "..."
Zhou Zun sighed, "A Ning, no matter what, my father cannot just sit back and watch you marry out of Chang'an."
"Don't those aristocratic families become officials?" Zhou Ning asked.
Zhou Zun: "..."
He wanted to say that many members of aristocratic families did not serve in official positions, but those people were actually nothing more than idiots.
Mi Chong can also crush many young talents, but the one in front of him obviously cannot.
"Aning, the marriage must be a well-matched marriage."
Yang Xuan was speechless, but he couldn't tell his identity. Even if he did, the four surnames in his family were not keen on marrying the royal family...except for the crown princess.
She is rushing to be the mother of a country, and she can also be a grandfather after giving birth to a child with four surnames in the family.
Of course, if you do the Emperor's Two Statements.
Zhou Qin also advised: "Ah Weng and you, Ah Ye, have gone through many things. Ah Ning, love and love cannot be treated as daily life. After that period of excitement, all love and love are gone, and only two people are left to look at each other."
Tired of it. At that time, the superior life and status brought by a well-matched family are a woman's last dignity and reliance."
These words were said to be heartfelt and heartfelt, and they also gave Yang Xuan a blow.
What can you give my granddaughter?
Yang Xuan said: "I am seventeen."
Everyone looked at him.
"The family is poor."
"Now the state Sima!"
"What about ten years from now?"
I finally got rid of this saying: Don’t bully young people into poverty!
Zhou Ning took a step forward.
"Aweng, Aye, I understand your thoughts, but for various reasons, I don't like him as much as I do."
