For others, it is the only way out, but for Gu Tingye, it is just a choice.

Xunguiyinfeng is different from civil official Yinfeng. Without imperial examination background, one can still achieve high positions in the army.

"Half a year doesn't matter. For the scientific examination, from the time I entered Beijing to the time I took the scientific examination, I didn't go out much for two or three years."

"I can't stand such restraint. If I can't go out for such a long time, it will make me uncomfortable to death." Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "Zecheng, I heard that you are engaged, right?"

"My parents have arranged a marriage for me. After I won the third prize, my marriage couldn't be postponed. My mother's matchmaker and my father's colleagues kept asking for help. In order not to offend everyone,

We can only decide on the marriage as soon as possible."

When it comes to marriage, Sheng Changbai is still very passive, to the point where he has to decide early.

A young man is looking for a beauty, but he has yet to get engaged. There are too many people eyeing Sheng Changbai, a potential stock.

"I heard that she is the second daughter of the famous Hai family in Jiangning?" Gu Tingye said enviously.

With the custom of Zhou literati disdainful of dancing with nobles, this kind of noble lady was someone Gu Tingye could never pursue.

Not to mention Gu Tingye's reputation as a famous libertine in Tokyo, a pioneer in the romantic circle, and Zhao Zilong under the peonies.

Even if people follow ordinary rules, they don't look down on Gu Tingye.

"Yes, the daughter of Hai family has already been decided."

Sheng Hong was really serious about choosing a wife for Sheng Changbai, and he had been choosing a wife for a long time, but there was still no change after much selection. Haishi was still Sheng Changbai's best choice.

In this era of parents' orders, Sheng Changbai didn't realize that there was a more suitable candidate for him.

If Sheng Changbai wanted to have free love, he couldn't get in touch with a decent girl.

In terms of family, personality, and appearance, Heidegger is the most suitable for me.

The first thing is that Haijia's Jiangning is close to Youyang. Youyang is under the management of Jiangning Mansion. Haijia is the best and noblest family near Youyang.

The geographical factor cannot always be ignored. In the court, people from the same hometown are natural allies.

Most of the new Jinshi who entered the officialdom sought refuge with the big bosses from their hometowns.

In order for Sheng Changbai to gain power and join the center as soon as possible, it was necessary to find a capable in-law.

The civil servant group of the Great Zhou Dynasty already had a certain degree of monopoly.

It has been decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China and has developed to this day. The son-in-law of a prime minister may not necessarily become a prime minister, but most prime ministers have an father-in-law who has been a prime minister.

The second young lady of the Hai family, her grandfather was a master of two generations of emperors, her father was a several-way transport envoy, and she was an absolute official in the border areas.

He's not too old either, so he's a good candidate for prime minister.

Since he has no feelings and can find a wife who is better in all aspects, Sheng Changbai cannot deliberately find a wife with poor conditions in all aspects.

Due to family motto, the Hai family explicitly ordered their descendants to take concubines only when they were forty years old and had no children.

If the men in the family do not take concubines, the women are not willing to let the men take concubines. This is not a difficult problem to solve, and there is always a way.

"It's better to be a Jinshi. You have just passed the age of tying your hair, and the threshold of your family is about to be crossed by a matchmaker. Wherever I am, I have already had a crown ceremony, and I was born in a prince's house. There is no matchmaker in the whole Bianjing.

Dare you accept my post."

Gu Tingye is being treated like this now. If the matchmaker proposes to marry Gu Tingye.

Serious people don't let matchmakers in, and the marriage is impossible.

If the matchmaker can't make any money, who would be willing to help Gu Tingye work in vain?

"Zhonghuai, it's not that being a Jinshi is good, but that you have a good reputation. Think about the things you have done and the reputation you have left in Bianliang. Is there any decent family who would be willing to marry their daughter to you? Don't do anything you don't want.

Shi Yuren, Zhonghuai, don’t you also have a son and a daughter? Are you willing to marry your daughter to a person like you?” After slowing down, Sheng Changbai continued: “Zhonghuai, do you know that Fan Wenzhenggong and Pan Yangzhen

What’s the matter with Golden Lotus?”

If Gu Tingye really had true love, the best choice would be to marry his concubine Manniang home as his legal wife.

Fan Zhongyan, a literary prime minister, would marry a prostitute as his official wife just for love. Gu Tingye, an unruly noble son, would marry an actor because of love.

The fact that he always wanted to find a wife from a noble family meant that Gu Tingye didn't have much true love for Mannia.
