Volume B Section 184 Be cautious about marriage

After determining that he had to enter the Jishi, Feng Ziying had nothing to worry about, as Qiao Yingjia said, the results of the palace examination were just the emperor's heart.

Gu Bingqian is not an easy person, since he has some thoughts, then he will definitely do things to the end.

In the final analysis, this palace test is personally selected by the emperor, and the officials who read the papers, that is, the cabinet ministers, or the officials in the hall, are all recommended, and Zhu Bi's hand-picking is the key, and even in the first champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, the emperor can adjust it as he likes.

And when he met the diligent emperor, he was not satisfied with the recommendation of the scroll reader, and it was possible to see seventy-two volumes from thirty-six volumes, or even one hundred and eight volumes, and it was the emperor's right to determine the second and third grades from so many.

Generally speaking, the second class accounts for one-third of the entire Jinshi group, and the third class accounts for two-thirds, which is also a common practice.

"Ziying, you don't have to worry too much, Gu Bingqian can be the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and naturally he also has his ability, and the emperor still favors him, otherwise he will not be allowed to serve as the deputy chief examiner." Qiao Yingjia said casually: "As for the palace test, let's see how it is, I will also talk to Gu Bingqian at that time, it is a gentleman to start well and finish well." ”

As soon as she heard Qiao Yingjia's sentence "start well and finish well", Feng Ziying immediately realized that Qiao Yingjia should have handed over words or hints and encouragement to Gu Bingqian before, no wonder Gu Bingqian would have a tough attitude when he locked the courtyard and had such an attitude towards the elders, in addition to perhaps understanding the emperor's thoughts, there was also Qiao Yingjia, a bigwig of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who secretly supported him behind his back.

"Disciple, thank you Master Qiao for your concern." This sentence came from Feng Ziying's heart.

If this is the case, without Qiao Yingjia's hints or support for Gu Bingqian, I am afraid that Gu Bingqian may not be able to strengthen once, as far as Feng Ziying knows, this Gu Bingqian's character is not very good, and he is also very puzzled that the other party will suddenly be so high-profile and tough, there are still some stories here.

Qiao Yingjia nodded.

He still deserves this gratitude, and the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to hint at the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which in itself is a bit unusual, if someone catches the handle, it will be a storm.

But he thought it was worth it.

Feng Ziying is very optimistic, he is down-to-earth but not rigid, plus his vision, sense of smell and judgment, he is all first-class, so young is already a jinshi, as long as there are no major problems, the probability of entering the cabinet in the future is extremely high.

Cultivating a disciple who can enter the cabinet or even be the first assistant comes out, this honor is enough to make him have something to boast about to the villagers in the future.

"By the way, what's going on with your marriage?" Qiao Yingjia suddenly remembered something, and looked back at Feng Ziying, "Lin Ruhai's daughter seems to be living in Rongguo Gongjia's house, right?" What do you think? ”

Feng Ziying realized at this time that she had lied at the beginning, but now it has become a reality, so what should she do about the "marriage covenant" with Lin Daiyu?

"The disciple hasn't thought about it yet." Feng Ziying muttered: "The disciple didn't think that he could be admitted to the Jinshi so smoothly, but the disciple plans to take a month off to go to Yangzhou if he can enter the Jishi Guanzheng and want to take a month off to go to Yangzhou, so that he can discuss this matter with Lin Gong." ”

Qiao Yingjia praised in his heart, but he was a little regretful, and nodded slightly.

He originally intended to fight for Feng Ziying and Shen Fu's daughter-in-law, Shen Fu talked to himself in a letter a few years ago that his daughter-in-law had not yet been allowed, saying that if there is a suitable young handsome man in the Jingshi City, then ask Qiao Yingjia to find it on his behalf, if there is no suitable one, he will consider going back to his hometown in Suzhou to find a suitable family.

In fact, Qiao Yingjia already felt that Lin Ruhai's daughter was not suitable for Feng Ziying.

One is Lin Ruhai's identity.

Although Lin Ruhai is the imperial history of Tanhua, but for so many years, Lin Ruhai has almost always appeared as a private minister favored by the emperor, once the emperor dies, then Lin Ruhai and others will definitely be swept away, and it is good to be able to mix idle jobs.

The second is that Lin Ruhai lost his wife, and the Lin family will also lose points.

As for the problem of the Lin family's girl's body and bones, Qiao Yingjia didn't know about it, and he wouldn't pay attention to these things that should be a woman's concern.

Besides, Feng Ziying is just about to marry Lin Ruhai, and there are preconditions, so in Qiao Yingjia's opinion, this is not a fixed marriage, and it is reasonable to marry another now, but Feng Ziying has no such intention, so this makes Qiao Yingjia not only appreciate Feng Ziying's promise, but also regret that Shen Fu's concubine has lost such a good marriage.

He could even guess who Shen Xuan's letter did not specifically refer to, but it actually referred to Feng Ziying.

In addition to Feng Ziying, the youngest is already at least sixteen years old, and men who have reached the age of sixteen in this era, especially if they have already passed the examination, even if they are not married, they have already been engaged.

Shen Hui himself was born as a Jinshi, and now he is also a member of the fourth grade, and he has great hope for advancement in the future, so it is impossible to choose a student from a high background for his eldest daughter, right?

Qiao Yingjia knows Shen Xuan's daughter, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is also a famous talented woman in Suzhou, poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting, all of whom have good attainments, and have an excellent personality, her wife has seen it, and she is full of praise, but it is a pity that her son has already been married, otherwise she would have married this woman.

But now that Feng Ziying has said so, Qiao Yingjia regrets it, but she still recognizes Feng Ziying's attitude, wealth cannot be lewd, and majesty cannot be bent, this is called a big husband.

"Then when are your family going to discuss marriage with the Lin family?" Qiao Yingjia asked casually, since Feng Ziying had this plan, he wouldn't say more.

Feng Ziying only now realized that this problem was a bit troublesome.

Lin Yatou's body bones, even if she has Master Zhang's exercise method for her, but this is not a year and a half can be very effective, her mother is afraid that if she asks a little, she will have to categorically refuse, and it is impossible to agree.

If you decided to marry when you didn't know about it when you were a child, it would have been fine, but the problem was that she was talking nonsense in a hurry at that time, but now you can't say in front of Qiao Yingjia that you lied to Qiao Yingjia at that time.

The parents on both sides didn't know about it at all, and even Lin Daiyu didn't know about it, from beginning to end, she was writing and acting by herself, and Qiao Yingjia was an audience, what should I do now?

Confess to Qiao Yingjia that he lied at the time? Feng Ziying didn't dare to take this risk.

Don't look at Qiao Yingjia now so much about appreciating himself, but that is based on all kinds of good impressions before, if Zhixiong is now deceiving him from the beginning, I am afraid that this impression will be greatly reduced, and even if he wants to make up for it, he may not be able to return to the original.

In recent years, these scholars and scholars have attached great importance to the word integrity, and they are almost the fundamental existence of a literati.

"Master Qiao, the disciple doesn't dare to hide it, my mother may still be a little worried about this marriage,......"

Feng Ziying thought for a moment before saying.

"Oh? What are your concerns? "Qiao Yingjia is very strange, since this has been agreed, and there is no special reason, according to common sense, it should be a kiss.

"The main reason is that the girl of the Lin family has thin bones, and you also know the situation of my family, so my mother is worried that the heirs of the Feng family will ...... in the future."

Qiao Yingjia frowned, this is indeed the most realistic question.

Like the Feng family, the only son of a family with three rooms attaches great importance to the continuation of incense, and if there is no wife, even if there is a concubine and a child, it will bring great trouble, and it will also cause instability to the whole family, so there are also examples of wives who have no wife or even been divorced.

However, there are not many such cases, after all, it is a common phenomenon for scholars to take concubines, if the wife does not come out, it is rare to marry multiple concubines, and if there is really that kind of situation, you should know that it is your own reason and not the woman's reason, but there is still this kind of situation to maintain family stability and divorce the wife because the wife does not come out.

"Does Lin Ruhai have a concubine?" Qiao Yingjia thought for a while and asked, this is the easiest way, the concubine gets married, and brings a concubine to give birth to a daughter, so that it is double insurance and can ensure the stability of the marriage.

"No, although Lin Gong has concubines, none of them are out, and Lin Gong is also a single lineage for three generations, and there are no close relatives." Feng Ziying also knew what Qiao Yingjia meant.

This is a bit tricky, for the Feng family, I'm afraid this is really not a good marriage.

"And what do you think?" Qiao Yingjia also felt embarrassed.

Although I appreciate Feng Ziying's commitment to this kind of commitment, I also need to consider the actual situation of the Feng family.

After all, this is a matter of family heirs, or even the survival of the family.

If there is no wife, there is no distinction between concubines and children, and it is very easy to cause various incidents when they become adults, especially when it comes to family authority, which has precedents in every dynasty and generation.

And if Feng Ziying has something to do in her career in the future, she must deal with these things well to avoid a fire in the backyard.

"The disciple thinks that the girl of the Lin family is still young, and I'm afraid it's too early to say this, well, the disciple plans to talk to his mother, and the disciple still plans to insist on this marriage."

Feng Ziying's attitude was still very clear, which made Qiao Yingjia both relieved and a little worried, "Ziying, you have to say it well at home, this kind of thing is not trivial, it really needs to be cautious, once the decision is almost unchangeable, Da Zhou rules the world with filial piety, don't give people a handle, and become a joke." ”

"Disciple understands." Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, his mother still needed to work on the water grinding, but he was still confident, but the time might have to be slowed down.

Coming out of Qiao Yingjia's mansion, Feng Ziying was almost sweating, so this person really can't lie easily, especially in important matters, a lie needs countless lies to make up, and it is very easy to cause irreparable consequences.

Feng Ziying suddenly remembered a question, when did Lin Ruhai die in the book "Dream of Red Mansions"? He can't remember a little, next year or the year after? But not this year, right? Will it ever happen?
