Chapter 398: Menghua Next
It is really feasible for Wang Fu to point Fan Zhijin out the clear path!
Most scholars are shameless and are reluctant to go to the eunuch's house to ask for food... Teachers are nice, but not nice, they are servants. If they become eunuch's servants, they will be despised by Qingliu in the future.
Therefore, any promising scholar who refuses to go to Pang Kuan’s mansion. If there is Jie Yuan from Daming Mansion, how could Pang Kuan be able to push it out? Why do you have to give more training?
Although the future will be affected, there is still a way out now.
It seems that Su Qianzhong really has it in the book!
Moreover... the words of Yan Ruyu in the book are not completely lie!
"You are not old yet, you are still 66 years old, why can't you beg for a wife? This matter is covered by slaves. Do you want a pretty face? Should you be as beautiful as a flower or a wealthy marriage? Just tell me."
"Master, please tell you about the daughter of the Zhang family in Daguan. Although she is a widow, she has royal blood and is not very old. She is only thirty-five years old and has never given birth to a child. Moreover, the Zhang family in Daguan is willing to pay 5,000 yuan of marries..."
"A daughter with royal blood can also tell you a family. Old Li's family who runs a silk shop has one. He is only 34 years old and has ten thousand yuan in his marriage!"
"The old Li family is so fat, I have two hundred pounds. How can you say it? I'd better tell the old official that he is beautiful. Although he is over thirty years old, he is well maintained. He is still a talented woman. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He has 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in marriage!"
In the Wu family's mansion, a bunch of matchmakers from somewhere are matching the proud grandfather Wu Zhongyi!
This is the legendary son-in-law who caught the son-in-law below the list!
Just say that catching a son-in-law under the list is, how can you really go to the emperor to capture a son-in-law? You still have to ask the matchmaker for this matter.
So from the first day of March, the threshold of the Wu family's mansion was squeezed out by the matchmakers who flocked to him. The matchmakers were all very professional. They had already inquired early in the morning. Wu Haowen, one of the two Jinshis of the Wu family, had been booked, and they were about to marry Han Zhongyan, the daughter of Daming Mansion. So those who ran away from the Wu family all protected the media for the 66-year-old Jinshi Wu Zhongyi.
Although he was the last Jinshi and was still old, he was still very popular. After all, in the marriage market of the Song Dynasty (in terms of the market, marriage is a bit tarnishing love), the supply of Jinshi is very scarce. There are more than 500 people on the list, most of which have wives. Among the remaining 100, there are still those that have been booked long ago, and only a few dozen can be snatched by the matchmakers in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Although Wu Zhongyi, 66, is really a bit old, he is still quite popular. If he is a teenager younger than him, even the rich lady of Yingying’s eighteenth-old family will be posted!
This is the value of a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty!
On the one hand, there is a highly developed civil society in the industry and business, and on the other hand, there is a contractual spirit of not killing scholars and officials... The wealthy business owners need a political protection umbrella, and civil servants and officials will not fall. The combination of both parties is undoubtedly the best partner.
It’s a pity that Wu Zhongyi’s 66-year-old age made his “use period” doubtful, and he might have died in a few years. So it’s not his turn to be a first-hand lady, but the second-hand product can still be chosen by Old Man Wu.
But Old Man Wu doesn't want other ladies, but he just falls in love with a talented woman.
Wu Chengyi, who was sitting in the living room as a foil, heard about a beautiful talented woman over 30 years old and a dowry of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and immediately knew what was going on.
"Mrs. Wang," Wu Chengzhi immediately glared at the matchmaker, "What kind of matchmaker do you have to protect? That talented woman is not a courtesan, right?"
"No, no," said the matchmaker named Wang with a smile, "that lady knows your wife."
Can you know Feng Erniang well in her early years? Isn’t it just a female trick?
Wu Chengzhi was squeezed by the matchmaker for a while, and his old face became hot. But Old Man Wu was indifferent and waved his hand and said, "Xiangdao, I am a sensible person. Uh, is that lady beautiful?"
"Beautiful, beautiful, and now you can be on the album of "The Courtesan"."
"Wow, okay, just be pretty, just be pretty..." Wu Zhongyi laughed loudly after hearing this, "Is there a dowry?"
"There are 30,000 yuan in marriage, and a manor and 2,000 acres of land that took Chenliu, the total number is definitely more than 40,000 yuan. And there has never been a child, and no one can inherit this money." Wang Matchmaker said with a smile, "But if someone wants to be a regular house, he also needs a formal marriage."
He has never given birth to a child and has no inheritance, which means that this money may fall into the Wu family of Baibo Yimen in the future... The premise is that after the death of Old Man Wu, Baibo Yimen Wu still regards him as an old lady.
"Okay, okay." Old Man Wu touched his beard and laughed happily, "I like a talented woman who is as beautiful as a flower the most... I thought it was out of reach back then, but now I finally got what I want!"
"Uncle, this is..."
Wu Chengzhi still felt that it was inappropriate. Although he himself promoted a woman who had been redeemed from a brothel, Feng Erniang was a gangster and did not sell herself. Moreover, Feng Erniang entered the house as a concubine, and later became a regular. Now Wu Zhongyi wants to marry a good lady directly to be a regular house, which is really embarrassing.
Besides, when Wu Chengzhi helped Feng Erniang to straighten him, he was just a businessman, and Wu Chengzhi is now a Jinshi, and he is also the patriarch of the Wu family of the Yimen who was conferred the imperial seal.
So after sending away a few matchmakers, Wu Chengzhi still wanted to persuade the old man to change his mind. But Wu Jinshi was very upright: "Don't say it, I will never succeed in my life, and I will not get what I want until I am 66 years old. What are the concerns? Life is rare in 70 years old. How many years can I live? If I don't enjoy it, how can I live for most of my life?"
While he was talking, the two brothers Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen were already coming in from outside the door, talking and laughing.
"Big Dad's words are reasonable," Wu Haogu heard it outside the door. Moreover, when he entered the door, he met his younger brother Wu Haowen, and knew what was going on. "You must have fun in life, don't let Jin Zun face the moon empty-handedly. If Daddy doesn't like that talented woman, just tell me that I recognize many concubines of nephew."
Why does this sound like a pimp for the old man?
"Really?" Wu Zhongyi laughed as soon as he heard this. He had never enjoyed it well in his life. Now he finally won the opportunity to make a profit.
"Really, really." Wu Haogu sat down in the hall and said with a smile, "Dad, nephew, just got the confirmed news. The palace examination was cancelled, and the ranking of the Jinshi was as follows: just pulling Ji Yizhi down two and becoming a Tanhualang. So you will soon be able to call outside Donghua Gate!"
Wu Haowen continued his brother's words and said: "After singing the name, it's time to become an official! My father is old and can't work hard, so do you want to find a good place?"
When Wu Zhongyi heard Wu Haowen say this, the smile on his face immediately closed. He knew that Wu Haowen was talking for Wu Haogu... It is fake to care about where he went to be an official, and it is true that he had to fulfill his promise to split Baibo Yimen Wu!
"I really want to find a good place to go." Wu Zhongyi answered as the Wu brothers said.
He has finally passed the Jinshi and is about to marry a wife of the courtesan level. Why do he want to spend more years? He really wants to send him to a distant place and he will not die of hardship?
Wu Haogu laughed. He thought that Old Man Wu was a bit pedantic, but he didn't expect that after he passed the Jinshi, he would immediately think about it. His wife wanted to find a beautiful person and an official to find a comfortable place... It was really a revolution that had been successful, and comrades had to enjoy it!
But this cannot be blamed for being low in consciousness. Song Zhenzong himself said "thousands of millet", "golden house", "many carriages and horses", and "sexy beauty". Now the old man finally won the opportunity, so of course he has to reap rewards.
"The court has a routine for how to be appointed as an official from a department-based discipline." Wuhao Ancient Road, "Only the top five Jinshi can be the magistrate or above.
The top scholar was awarded the title of Dali's judge, signed the letter and signed the two envoys, the official office or the magistrate of the county, the second and the third and the third and fifth persons, and the magistrate of the county, the second and third, the fourth and fifth persons, and the magistrate of the county, the second, third, fourth and fifth persons, and the magistrate of the Si Puwei, were generally awarded the title of the Si Puwei, but there are still differences between the test title and the non-test title.
My eldest father is in the fifth grade and has no official position before, so he is naturally appointed as the fourth grade candidate and the county lieutenant is tested."
According to the convention that Wu Haogu said, Wu Haowen, the sixth place, should also be awarded the fourth-class official, that is, the ninth-rank general, Wu Zhongyi, the last one, is the same. However, there is a difference when awarding a position. Wu Haowen should be a judge or joining the army. Considering his relationship with Wu Haogu and Han Zhongyan, the distribution is definitely not bad. Moreover, it is not a test title, or a formal official. Compared with the test title title, one less round of investigation can be obtained when promoted.
But it would be difficult for Wu Zhongyi to have a good place to go, unless Wu Haogu helps open the back door... Otherwise, he would definitely be a county lieutenant in a distant place. Who made him the last one? If he doesn't suffer, who will suffer?
The civil officials of the Song Dynasty were not very willing to go to Lingnan to be officials. There were many remote small counties in those places and let officials act as agents. If the old man was willing to go, he might be a magistrate.
However, it is hard to say whether you can come back from the miasma land alive!
If Wu Haogu wants to help you, you have to cooperate well in the matter of the division of Wu family in Baibo Yimen.
...
"I remember, you should have been the top scorer, but you are an official, so you should be demoted to one person as usual. Today, I asked the Queen Mother to give you another one at Neidongmen, so you are Tanhualang in this list."
In Zhang Dun's prime minister's mansion, Ji Yi, who was the first in the Ministry of Rites, was talking to his future Yue Zu Zhang Dun.
"According to the convention, Tanhua can be appointed as a two-time envoy or a county magistrate..." Zhang Dun smiled, "How about arranging you a county magistrate in Lingao County, Qiongzhou?"
