The deputy school didn't play an official tone, and said to Ge Wenying: "It's still because of your good character that I like you." ”

Ge Wenying asked people to set up a banquet to entertain the two scholars, and the dishes were exquisite, so that Qi Zhou couldn't help but look at the deputy students.

The deputy school didn't say anything, and after the banquet was over, after the two left, Qi Zhou said to the deputy school on the way back to the school: "It seems that this Ge Wenying is not a cold scholar." ”

The deputy general Ge Wenying's life experience briefly talked about it, and Qi Zhou said to the deputy student: "This matter still needs to be discussed." ”

The deputy student naturally didn't speak, all of this was Qi Zhou's master.

A few days later, Zhang said to Ge Wenying: "Now that the Fuguan is also quite small, I want to set a family affair for him." ”

"Whose daughter?"

"Kansai Fang Kang's family. I heard that she looks good, and his family has been in business for generations, and she has already taken off her lowly status and entered the civil register. Three generations of his family have accumulated a lot of money, and I heard that the dowry is a thousand taels of silver. ”

When Ge Wenying heard this, she frowned and said to Zhang: "This wife is seeking talent, not wealth. ”

"If you have money, you will be virtuous, and if you have no money, you will have no virtue. Think about it, if the blessed official marries this wife, even if he has no fame in the future, he can be rich and noble, isn't this a virtuous helper? If there is no money, there will be no money in the family in the future, and it will be difficult for the good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how virtuous she is, she will not be able to eat. ”

Ge Wenying didn't bother to say this to his wife, and told Shang Zhang's that he already had a good candidate.

"Whose woman?"

"The girl of the Kong family is a virtuous woman."

"The Kong family? That's okay. "The Zhang family did not object, although the Kong family is not a big family, but Kong Zhi's father used to be an official in the Dongguan Mansion, and his family background is not bad.

Ge Wenying told himself about the idea, and the next day he took action, and he gathered four friends again.

After Kong Zhi arrived, Ding Wang entertained first, chatted a few words, and Ding Wang asked: "But it's dangerous, a few girls, a husband." ”

"Deze, it's not that you don't know, I only have one daughter, twelve this year, and my child is four years old this year."

"Ling Ai Ke has promised words?"

"Not yet."

"I dare to say a matchmaking for Ling Ai."

"Deze is a great thing, naturally, it's an excellent thing, I don't know which one?"

Ding Wang smiled and asked Kong Zhi: "How is the relationship between Deze and Shijie?" ”

"The five of you and I have a very happy relationship, why bother asking so many times."

Kong Zhi also understood, but he still said: "Shijie is a Fengcheng family, even in Xijing City, it is a prestigious family, how dare I climb high." ”

"Hahaha, this month seems to have been done, you are worried about Gao Pan, he is worried that you dare not bow down, I am in the center, I think the two of you have nothing to say."

Kong Zhi has this heart, Ge Wenying, a friend, he knows the roots, the scholarly family, the hairpin family, his daughter will naturally not suffer when she marries, but because of his poor family, it is inconvenient to mention this matter, and now Ge Wenying has people as a matchmaker, and he is naturally happy to see it.

"Then there's Brother Lauderze."

The two sides laughed, and at this time, Ge Wenying also came out, without saying anything, and when his friends arrived, they set up a banquet, and everyone talked about it.

At this time, Chen Si could see that the atmosphere was almost there, so he said: "This stuffy tea is hard to drink, and the stuffy wine is also hard to drink." Now that Deze is the old man, and your two families have become Zhu Chen, and you still refuse to tell me about this bad old man, don't you even want to invite me, an old man, to drink? ”

Gokong and the two said in unison: "Don't dare to climb high." ”

Chen Sike said with a smile: "Then you two can't do it." ”

Kong Zhi said with a smile: "If my dowry is poor tomorrow and my mother complains, then the brother of the wish will not be able to hide, and let Deze suffer alone." ”

The five of them laughed at the same time, and the family affair was settled.

Next, Ge Wenying asked Chen Sike and Ding Wang to be Zanbin, asked Wang Zhong to buy jewelry, and then wrote a draft of four or six by himself, asked Chen Sike to revise it, and finally asked Hou Xianggong in the account room to write it.

chose an auspicious day and arrived at the Confucian house, and the Confucian family naturally warmly entertained him.

Next, the Kong family also wrote a reply and sent some four treasures of the study, and this family affair was decided.

When the two of them were married, the students in Xijing City were busy Zhang Luo, asking people to send gifts to the Fuxue, and the scholars of the Fuxue received gifts, so they naturally urged Qi Zhou from time to time, so that Qi Zhou could decide on the candidate as soon as possible.

Qi Zhou first set two nobles, one is the son of his uncle, and the other is the heir of the Xijing Wang clan, as for the third person, Qi Zhou has always been uncertain.

After this scholar kept the gift, he naturally said his own, this Qi Zhou has just arrived, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

couldn't decide, so Qi Zhou went to find his brother Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi listened to the meaning, and first said Zhang Guang, Qi Zhou thought for a while, and said to Kong Zhi: "Brother Shi, I know this Zhang Guang, there are many good people in the city, and his conduct is passable, but he seems to be a little too old." ”

Kong Zhi recommended Chen Sike again, saying that this person has good knowledge and character, but he is self-exalted, plus a little good wine.

"This good wine is not a whole person." Qi Zhou believes in science, is a Taoist gentleman, and has a natural aversion to good drinkers.

Kong Zhi said Zhang Xiucai again, Qi Zhou heard from the deputy school, and the deputy school also sent a plaque to Zhang Xiucai, but Qi Zhou still thought it was inappropriate: "I heard that Zhang Xiucai cried blind in one eye because of filial piety, and it is inappropriate to see the saint at a glance." ”

Kong Zhi thought about it again, and said Huang Xiucai outside the city, this person has an elder brother, after his brother died of illness, he raised his brother's family as his own family, and people around him said that he was filial.

Qi Zhou inquired carefully, and then said: "His family's fertile land is only more than 20 acres, how can he protect it." ”

Although Qi Zhou is willing to protect the Hanshi in his heart, but this inspection system is different, there is no bus, after going to Beijing, all expenses are taken care of, and he may not be able to be hired when he arrives in the capital, so he has to wait for the position to be vacated. This will be delayed for at least more than a year, how can a small family live in the capital for a year.

Kong Zhi saw Qi Zhou say this, so he told his in-laws Ge Wenying and Ding Wang.

Qi Zhou knew the relationship between the two Gokong families, and although he didn't want Ge Wenying to go, because of Kong Zhi's relationship, he could only say that it was very good.

Qi Zhou returned to the school, found the deputy school, and asked Ding Wang.

The deputy student had a grudge against Ding Wang, so he said: "This Ding Wang, there is knowledge, but his character is not very good." A large family in the city invited him to teach, but he refused because his brother would not allow it. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the Ge family, and it was so repeated that it was really difficult to be called virtuous and square. ”

"He didn't want to go, maybe there was something wrong with the family."

Qi Zhou defended Ding Wang, but he also lost Ding Wang's name in his heart.

Seeing that Qi Zhou had mentioned Ding Wang, the deputy student opened his mouth and said, "My lord, in this way, it is also counted by Ge Wenying." ”

Qi Zhou nodded and told the deputy student: "It's better to wait until Ding Ri, let's see what the students say." ”

On Ding Day, after sacrificing Xuanfu, after the two gentlemen sat down, Qi Zhou said to them: "All beings, this time I am looking for you, it is for a big event, you have seen the edict some time ago, and one of them is to open Enke, be virtuous and square." Now, these days, we haven't chosen yet, and the top has come down to urge. Now the sages have gathered, and what is said is public. ”

When these students gave gifts, they were talking about themselves, but now they are so open and honest that after everyone gets together, they dare not speak.

Some are worried about recommending themselves and being laughed at. Recommend others and make wedding dresses for others.

Some are timid by nature and dare not say much in front of many people.

Some families are poor, and they know that this Enke can't turn their turn, so they come to watch from the wall.

When Qi Zhou saw this situation, he thought that when the edict came down, everyone talked about it, but now when it comes to the joints, they are all stuffy gourds.

A Xiucai has always been Geng Jie, and said to Qi Zhou: "This matter is for all living beings to conspire, but it is only for building a room." It's better for the two teachers to break their own opinions, the teachers are fair and selfless, and who can disagree with one sentence. ”

This Xiucai's words made the sentient beings unhappy, but they couldn't refute it.

When Qi Zhou saw this situation, he thought that these people were indeed not enough, so he spoke: "You have always known this Ge Shijie's person, and we have also sent a plaque to his home. Can this person be promoted? ”

The deputy student also spoke: "The Ge family is a marquis, this inspection is a department that costs money, and his family can afford it." ”

The sub-school is nothing more than to tell everyone that the essence of this inspection is for the nobles, and they don't have to think too much about it.

Seeing that these two people had already made up their minds, they could still oppose it, but they just said to them, "What the teacher sees is very accurate, so please say a word." ”

Qi Zhou still had to walk around the scene, and said to everyone: "Please also ask you to judge." ”

That Geng Jie's Xiucai spoke again: "If we want to come to the trial, I'm afraid that it will be decided in September next year." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, so Qi Zhou found four fasting chiefs and asked them to do this.

The four chiefs were ordered to leave, and everyone began to divide the bacon, and Qi Zhou said to the vice-president: "Today we can invite guests again." ”

The associate smiled, and went down.

Ding Wang also left here and returned to Bichen Xuan, happy for his friend.

He was ready to tell his friend the news, but he thought that his friend was weak by nature and had already lost his career, if he told Ge Wenying about it, he was afraid that Ge Wenying would refuse.

But don't tell, this inspection will be done first, if you don't open up the joints, this yamen will be stuck here, stuck there, and then it will be rejected back and forth, but it will be a big mistake.

And when that time came, Ge Wenying asked for the silver to be counted, which was basically very difficult and difficult, and in the end, a good thing turned into a bad thing, and he had a guilty conscience.

He only hated that he didn't have that much money to help his friend, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
