Chapter 340: Burning the Cold Stove
Wu Haogu saw that Pan Xiaoyan seemed to be sick, and he was very depressed leaning on a couch covered with a thick layer of brocade, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, and the smell of Chinese medicine was still permeating the bedroom, and there were two maids rubbing his shoulders and back.
What's going on? Wu Haogu was shocked when he saw Pan Xiaoyan who looked sick, is this going to be bad or what? I knew that I should have asked Du Wenyu to come over with painting tools today, and I helped Pan Xiaoyan paint the portrait by the way......
"Thorn Shi, what are you ......?" Wu Haogu asked with concern.
Pan Xiaoyan glanced at Wu Haogu, smiled bitterly and said, "Da Lang, what is the history of the stab?" Let's call the third brother. ”
It turned out that Pan Xiaoyan was not the eldest son of the Pan family, but the third in line, and only because he was a descendant, he became the head of a family. Pan Qiaolian is his eighteenth sister, they are the same generation, so Wu Haogu, who married Pan Qiaolian, is the same generation as Pan Xiaoyan.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Wu Haogu asked as he sat down on a rose chair.
"Don't mention it!" Pan Xiaoyan waved his hand and said, "The tomb of my ancestor has been flooded!" How's that good? That grave is an ancestral grave! Feng Shui is so good, why did it drown......"
It turned out that the ancestral tomb of the Pan family was flooded!
To be honest, the New Party-led Sanyi Huihe is really a victim of a bunch of Hebei people. Houses, fields, ancestral graves, what is flooded! A while ago, I almost flooded the Daimyo's castle. Hebei is like this, how can it support the Xuanhe Northern Expedition?
Compared with the Northern Expedition, how to govern the Yellow River seems to be more important.
"Third brother," Wu Haogu thought for a moment, "Is the ancestral tomb of the Pan family okay?" ”
He means the grave is still there, right?
"Okay?" Pan Xiaoyan shook his head again and again, "Okay, old man, can you still be like this?" It's been flooded for two months! The ancestor soaked in water like this for two months...... This is really, really evil......"
"Do you want to move a piece of land for the old ancestor?" Wu Haogu asked tentatively.
To be honest, he didn't have a trick to control the Yellow River, and even if he did, he didn't have to take care of it, and he had to move a safer place for the ancestors of the Pan family to save himself from floods.
"No...... It's definitely going to be moved! Pan Xiaoyan sighed, "But now this cemetery is a treasure of feng shui, which has blessed the Pan family for more than a hundred years, where to find such a treasure of feng shui?" ”
Yes, Wu Hao Guxin said: Yuntai Xianshan is not bad! Catch up with the Ming family and move some of the ancestral graves of the martial arts family to the past.
The foundation of the Pan family should not be placed in the Daimyo's Mansion at all, even if this place is not beaten down by the Jurchens, it will have to be flooded by the Yellow River, so it is better to move to Haizhou as soon as possible.
However, this suggestion cannot be put forward like this, it still has to rely on fooling.
Wu Haogu thought for a while and said, "Third brother, don't be in a hurry about this, you have to find a master to find a treasure land." He paused, "I heard that King Duan recently got acquainted with two Taoists, and they are very effective, why don't you ask them to take a look?" ”
"That's a way to go." Pan Xiaoyan coughed a few times as he spoke, but he was a little more energetic, and it seemed that he was not going to see his ancestors for the time being.
"Da Lang, are you here for me to do something?" Pan Xiaoyan asked again at this time.
"Oh," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask the third brother to come forward and be a matchmaker for my second brother." ”
"Matchmaking? Whose daughter did your second brother fall in love with? ”
"I didn't like anyone's family," Wu Haogu smiled, "I just want to climb the door of the Han family in Xiangzhou." ”
"Climb?" Pan Xiaoyan chuckled, "Your ancestor has had a female emperor, how can the Xiangzhou Han family compare with your family?" ”
"Now it's not Wu Zhou Li Tang," Wu Hao Gu said, "The Han family in Xiangzhou is out of Han Zhongxian's two dynasties to take care of their lives." ”
Pan Xiaoyan nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that your second brother is a talent?" ”
Wu Haogu laughed at himself: "Yes, my family's Erlang and I are not the same way, we have worked hard since we were children, and we are also a seed of reading, and I also did well in the Taixue exam, so I want to fight this year, maybe I will be able to roll call outside the Donghua Gate." ”
Pan Xiaoyan asked a little strangely: "Da Lang, don't you have a lot of relationship with Bachelor Cai?" Why don't you go to the Cai family clan to find one? Don't say you don't have that way. ”
Cai Jing and Cai Bian are both big officials who are only one step away from the prime minister, and there are many girls in the clan who are waiting for the word boudoir, compared with the Xiangzhou Han family, which belongs to the old party and is now a little in decline, the Xinghua Cai family should be a better marriage partner.
And Wu Haogu, who is close to Xing and Duan Wang Zhao Ji, is a buddy, Zhao Ji is a big hit on the throne, even if the throne is not his turn, it must be his son's. Zhao Ji came forward to say that Cai Jing would not refuse to marry a daughter in the clan to Wu Haowen no matter what.
But Wu Haogu didn't want to find the daughter of the Cai family as a daughter-in-law for his younger brother, but aimed at the Xiangzhou Han family, which had become unpopular.
Wu Haogu said with a smile: "The second brother is different from me, he is just a nerd, and he can't get along with the daughter of the Cai family, or the daughter of the Han family is suitable for him." ”
Of course, Wu Erlang studied very hard, and all the talented people of the Great Song Dynasty were suave or something, they all belonged to a very small number of genius scholars, and most of the good men who were holding back a jinshi in the examination room were boiled out with their heads hanging from the beam and the cone and thorns.
If you have to write poems all day long to pick up girls and play life, most of the time in the end it is a poor and miserable life! Even if they are geniuses like Su Dongpo and Zhang Dun, maybe they are studying hard when no one is around!
By the way, the current Wuda dirty officials are actually very hard. He is playing "quality education", painting, horseback riding, archery, reading, all of which cannot be left behind! And they also have to deal with corruption in the officialdom and all kinds of mundane affairs in the market.
On the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, he didn't participate in the entertainment activities arranged by Yan Po'er from beginning to end, and when others were happy, he would quietly sneak away to follow Lin Wancheng to practice martial arts, or go to sketch with Du Wenyu, and then have a little time to read and recharge - Cai Jing's "Cai Note" "Three New Classics", as well as the seven books of official cultivation martial arts and the draft of "Murong Art of War" given to him by Murong Lao'er, Wu Haogu is studying carefully.
Wu Haogu practiced martial arts and read military books, of course, not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to prepare for the imperial examination four years later. The jinshi must be one of them anyway, even if the Chinese jinshi is difficult, it is okay to get a martial jinshi!
Because he did not have a Jinshi background, he was inferior in the officialdom, and it was not conducive to his future school...... I can't hold back a jinshi, and I still have the face to teach students?
To get back to the point, Wu Haogu wanted to find a Han family girl to be a wife for Wu Erlang, not because Wu Erlang was too nerdy, but because he wanted to burn the cold stove of the old party.
Don't look at the old party is in a recession now, as soon as Emperor Zhezong dies, they will tremble again. At that time, Wu Haogu and Han Zhongyan will be relatives, and the other party can always be lighter when they start to rectify, right? In this way, the Jiehe commercial market, which is still in the seedling stage, can obtain a valuable development period.
However, Wu Haogu himself can't join the old party, and the old party doesn't look down on him as a good businessman, at most he is a dirty official who can be used - the old party also needs dirty officials! Otherwise, how could the senior officials of the old party enjoy the decadent life of feudalism?
And Wu Haowen can join the old party, because according to the rules of the game in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Wu Haowen's officialdom career began with a roll call outside the Donghua Gate, not Wu Haogu promoted him to the office, so it has nothing to do with Wu Haogu.
Pan Xiaoyan thought about it, and already understood Wu Haogu's thoughts, nodded and said: "There are many heirs of the Han family in Xiangzhou, and there are also many daughters in the boudoir. ”
The Han family is a big family in Xiangzhou, there are hundreds of men in the family, and the good ones are the descendants of Han Qi, and the five sons (a total of six were born, and one died early) are all high-ranking officials, and one of them is the princess of Qi who is still Song Shenzong.
"It's best to be from Han Dafu's branch." Wu Haogu made further requests.
The princess of Shang Qi is Han Qi's sixth son Han Jiayan, and he and Han Qi's fifth son Han Cuiyan are only in their thirties and have no daughters to marry. The rest are the eldest son Han Zhongyan, the second son Han Duanyan and the fourth son Han Chunyan. Among these three branches, of course, the daughter of Han Zhongyan's family is the best.
As he spoke, Wu Haogu took out his handwritten "Wu Haowen Photo Picture" and handed it to Pan Xiaoyan. Pan Xiaoyan took the scroll and unfolded it to look at it. A very handsome young man, he looks more handsome than Wu Haogu, and he has a little more bookish atmosphere.
"That's good," Pan Xiaoyan nodded, "If you can really go to high school, you will definitely be able to match the daughter of Han Dafu." Anyway, the old man will go through this for you. ”
"Then thank you third brother."
……
"That's a good drawing!"
That night, Pan Xiaoyan, who was ill, took "Wu Haowen Photo Map" to visit Han Zhongyan in the Daimyo's Mansion.
"People are good, too." Pan Xiaoyan said with a smile, "The genius in Taixue is different from Wu Haogu, that bit of intelligence is used in moral articles, and this subject is likely to be high school!" ”
Han Zhongyan nodded, "Actually, that Wu Haogu is also very smart, he is the first person in the painting at a young age, and he has also earned a large family business, and he can also see things in the north clearly." If he was born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, he must be a capable minister who governs affairs, but in our dynasty, he is missing the identity of a jinshi. ”
Wu Haogu is also from a scholar family, and he can please the officials and princes, and his ability to govern the family seems to be good. If he was born in the era of the scholar clan who was reincarnated as an official, he would undoubtedly be able to mix with important ministers. However, in the Song Dynasty, if you want to recommend the two mansions, Wen Jinshi's identity is still necessary.
Therefore, Wu Haogu's future should not be too good. And this Wu Haowen, if he can really be a Jinshi, with his brother Wu Haogu's financial resources and activity ability, it will be difficult to fly Huang Tengda!
"Dafu," Pan Xiaoyan coughed a few times at this time, "Can you look at this Wu Erlang?" ”
"If you can see it, how can you not look at it?" Han Zhongyan said with a smile, "But this matter is not in a hurry, now it is important to study, how about arranging a blind date when the Spring Festival is over?" ”
"After Dabi?" Pan Xiaoyan didn't seem to be sure, and asked again.
Han Zhongyan said: "Yes! Regardless of whether you win or not, you will arrange a blind date. ”
