It wasn't until the banquet was near the end that several families present stepped forward to talk and stopped, and Shen Zhezi knew what his mother had told Shen Jin, and he couldn't cry or laugh. It's hard to talk about this kind of thing in advance, Shen Zhezi just glanced at Shen Jin, then got up and left the venue.

Although Shen Zhezi didn't say anything, the matter didn't stop there. Previously, it was only the first hint in the Xinshi Pavilion, but after the second day, the number of visitors to the General's Mansion surged, more than double that of usual.

Of course, those visitors did not mention their relatives, but they also knocked on the side inside and outside to inquire about the wishes of the Shen family and the general on this matter.

Shen Chong really didn't know about this matter, and it wasn't until Shen Jin took the initiative to confess that he understood the reason for the surge in visitors.

"Spring and Autumn have come and gone, and it turns out that my little lady has also reached the age of being elegant and diligent."

Shen Chong was first complacent about his own girl Jingshu seductive, but only after seeing Shen Jin, who was worried, did he turn cold again: "How about the family's happy letter, the pro-elder still needs to be deeply powerful, don't be rash, how dare the kid be exclusive to the secret life in the curtain and talk nonsense!" ”

Shen Jin was also aggrieved at this, and sat down side by side with Shen Yun, hanging his head like a quail, not daring to defend himself.

"There is nothing to say about the fact that men should marry women and women. But the current often confuses the king's order with the private friendship of the court, but it makes my wife dare not decide lightly to belong to the family. ”

Speaking of these, Shen Zhezi also had a headache. There was no problem in the marriage of his disciples earlier, such as Shen Zhezi's generation of brothers, and it was easy to talk about marriage, but now when it comes to his own little lady, it is really difficult to choose.

When it comes to marriage, the so-called love between men and women is not in the scope of consideration. How the younger generation of Shen's brothers are married, when it comes to the purest thing, it is Shen Jin. Others, such as Shen Muzhang's He family, Shen Yunzhang's Chen family, including Shen Zhezi's Shang in the imperial family, all have considerations to help the family business.

Shen Zhezi also has a lot of love for his little sister, although he has been married since he was more than ten years old, he has no intention of sending this little lady out. Today's Shen family no longer has to rely on marriage to help increase the family's strength, but the current families want to take advantage of the situation to benefit his family a lot.

From the slightest hint of wind that made the north and south families throb, it can be seen from this, and Shen Zhezi has to face it.

Hearing his son say this, Shen Chong also became melancholy: "In previous years, the children talked about marriage, or they got along well and consolidated, or they watched and showed off their families, hoping to carry them together. Now my family is the only one in Wuzhong, and there is no need to limit the north and south anymore. But my mother-in-law is also cultivated by her parents, how can I bear her being seen by other families as a blessing. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Shen family at the table became a little unnatural. This is too realistic, in previous years, the Shen family's Wu Township Wuzong, in addition to the purpose of marrying a family of nostalgia, is to climb a famous family. But now that it is the turn of others to cling to his family, Shen Chong is a little uncomfortable, and he is reluctant to let his daughter be remembered so much.

Now that the commotion has been caused, and when various families visit, there is no shortage of people who frankly declare their intention to marry, and naturally they have to discuss a few alternatives. This kind of thing is still based on the opinions of the elders, and the juniors, including Shen Mu, dare not speak out easily, so they can only listen to the training.

"Xingtai created a museum, collected less flow and taught Tianzhong, which is also a rare construction of virtue in my family. It is also appropriate to choose a virtuous person to be my son-in-law in the courtyard. ”

Shen Chengren did not allow the museum to be his family's monumental contribution in the academic world, so he drew a selection range, as long as he was not a student of the museum, no matter how high the family ranked, he would not consider it.

Within this range, in fact, there are many people to choose from, such as Taiyuan Wang's family, Chenjun Yuan's family, Xingyang Zheng family, etc., which are all Shizuo Gaomen with a long heritage. Putting aside the position, if the Shen family can marry these people, it can be regarded as a kind of high climbing.

"In the future, the main purpose of doing things on the Taiwan is still to suppress the reputation of famous families and highlight the majesty of the edict. Besides, my lady is naturally natural, and her father and brother are both strong pillars in the world. ”

Hearing the discussion of several elders, Shen Zhezi opened his mouth and said, he didn't think that those high-ranking families of the world could be a good match.

To be honest, his sister's tutor is just like that, in the eyes of his own parents, he may be delicate and naïve, but those etiquette portals may be vulgar, and they may not be treated sincerely. And in the future, Shen Zhezi will definitely suppress these clan portals even more, and it is useless to make his little sister caught in the middle of it.

is not like this for the little sister alone, and in the future, his own children will be married, and Shen Zhezi does not plan to keep an eye on those famous families. It is true that it is difficult to completely suppress the social influence of those famous families in the short term, but Shen Zhezi is still young, and before he completely subdues those famous families, even if he wants to release any illusion of peaceful coexistence with them, he is not willing to use his children's relatives as a means.

From this point of view, it is not in vain that Xie Yi and others have followed the general all these years, at least they still have a certain grasp of what the general thinks.

If Shen Mu and the others have any suggestions, maybe the elders will not pay attention to them, but as soon as Shen Zhezi said this, Shen Chong and the others also knew it and would not think about it again.

Listening to the discussion of the elders, Shen Zhezi was actually also thinking about what suitable options there were. Previously, at the persuasion ceremony of Xinshiguan, he also saw some good young people of school age, but they all had their own inappropriate places.

For example, Huan Chong of the Huan family, Shen Zhezi has no prejudice against Huan Chong, but in previous years, he also took care of the Huan family, but as a result, Huan Wen still treated him so much, Shen Zhezi didn't say it, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

If his sister is assigned to Huan Chong, he will be too polite to the Huan family, and he will lose face? Besides, even if you don't consider the family, the reputation of the Huan family is really not good recently.

Xie Shi of the Xie family, Shen Zhezi doesn't think much of it, if he is really rash and agrees to match, maybe he will have to be with Chen Kui, Xi Tan and others. And the Xie family's style is honestly not very rigorous, even the dignified Xie An has no shortage of prostitute vices, and his own little sister has a strong personality, so she may not be able to tolerate it.

For example, Wang Meng is a poor man, and there are not many people of the right age, and even Wang Meng is a little older. And if he really chooses to do this, others don't know how to arrange how he is tired of seeing his little sister being treated so harshly, and his father and mother will not be able to pass this level.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Zhezi really didn't find any suitable choice, and couldn't help but glared at Shen Yun and Shen Jin, who caused this uproar. These two boys have really been a bit of a jump lately, and they know how to get into trouble if they don't do anything.

"My family is not a thrifty poor family, my parents are in the hall, my sister is young, and she may not have the virtue of respecting women in a hurry, and she has been idle in the court for a few years, and she chooses calmly, and Xu Guan is ready to discuss."

Shen Zhezi raised his hand to interrupt the conversation of the old man and said.

When Shen Chong and the others heard him say this, they also nodded in agreement, but when they thought of appeasing those commotionous and enthusiastic families later, Shen Chong was a little irritable, and after thinking about it, he grabbed the bamboo cane and motioned Shen Yun and Shen Jin to step forward, and reprimanded a few words of lessons, and the irritability in his heart was slightly relieved.

But Shen Zhezi hadn't let them go, and said: "The military expedition to the west is not over, and the soldiers are still ready to go, even if you two in-service military commanders are idle and recuperating, you should be cautious and self-admonishing, where does the leisure come from to flood this boring turmoil." ”

When these two people heard this, their faces were even more bitter. And Shen Chong had already put down the scepter in his hand, and after hearing this, he became interested again, and gave more than a dozen canes to each person.

The relatives and elders discussed in the hall, and Ah Yan, who was the party concerned, also hid under the corridor and eavesdropped, feeling quite frightened and depressed, and really didn't want to think about lifelong events prematurely without preparation.

After hearing the final word of her own brother and the call to stop the marriage, the little lady was already smiling, and after hearing the two evil brothers screaming in pain, she was even more cheerful, humming slang songs and jumping back to the inner courtyard, and deliberately walked around a few laps outside the mother's house. She has her brother's support, and she is not afraid that her mother will be tired of expelling her from the house again.

The Shen family's choice of a son-in-law was only thunder and rain in the end, and there was no more conclusive news coming out, which naturally disappointed the Shiliu family. But then there were many affairs around the New Year, and the generals were busy coming and going, and even if they had any eager ideas, they could only cool down, and they didn't dare to bother the generals with this matter.

New Year's greetings, in addition to the top and bottom of the stage, all parties have also gathered in Luoyang. For example, the Zhang clan of Liangzhou, the Xianbei of Liaodi, and even the Yang clan of Qiuchi State all sent envoys to Luo He Nian.

Zhang Jun of Liangzhou even sent his eldest son and important subordinate officials to the east, in addition to celebrating the New Year, he is also meeting next year to continue to tackle the problem together. Zhang Jun's eldest son Zhang Zuo didn't care about it, and the accompanying Suo and other Zhang courtiers didn't know where to hear the rumors, and when they worshiped General Shen, there was no shortage of hints that Zhang Jun's heir Zhang Chonghua was not married.

When Shen Zhezi heard these hints, he didn't say anything, but only vaguely responded, but after returning home, he couldn't help but summon Shen Yun and Shen Jin, the two poor things, to reprimand them. Whether this matter is possible or not is it for the time being, the subordinate officials of the Zhang family are simply joking with him when they bring it up at such a time, and there are too many meanings that can be interpreted.

And this incident also made Shen Zhezi realize that he needed to face up to what kind of attitude the Zhang clan should have towards Liangzhou, although even after pacifying Guanzhong, he did not plan to continue to go deep into Liangzhou at this stage.

However, the Zhang family has been in the west for a long time, and has already operated a set of orders with a high degree of independence, which cannot be regarded as ordinary Jin ministers, or even as simple friends, and must strengthen targeted measures.

Moreover, since the start of the Western Expedition, some of Zhang's practices have also been teasing his bottom line in a vague way, such as taking advantage of the fact that all parties in Guanzhong were afraid of the general trend of Wang Shi, and sent envoys to wander around the Guannai, lobbying to appease Guan Longhao and the Hu tribe. Therefore, within Xingtai, Zhang has also become an imaginary enemy in Guanzhong's overall strategy, and has begun to formulate some targeted alternatives.

After the New Year, the ceremony gradually stopped, and the various matters of the Western Expedition were accelerated again, and various manpower and material resources continued to be sent to the west. At the same time, several warrants for the establishment of the platform were also sent to the Xinshiguan Academy, and Wang Meng was impressively listed, and was appointed as the county of Hongnong.
