In front of the gate of Gao's mansion, Gao Shen was looking forward to it, but the wife beside him had a gloomy face, Mrs. Gao Pan was not satisfied with the Jinshi that her husband fancied, a poor boy from Xiangzhou, what did he want. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mrs. Gao has always remembered Li Yanqing last time, she is good-looking, and she is the little proprietor of Baoyanzhai, I heard that she was also admitted to the Jinshi, and she is both civil and military, how good is such a condition, but her husband can't look down on it, I really don't know what he thinks?

Gao Shen knew his wife's thoughts very well, so he patiently said to her: "Although Li Yanqing's conditions are good, he is Tong Guan's person, we can't control him, although this Zhou Jinshi is from a small family, he just needs our help to climb up, so that the interests of our Gao family are integrated with his interests, which is actually equivalent to a son-in-law, does Mrs. understand?" ”

In fact, Mrs. Gao also knew that these jinshi were not so easy to grab, and it was already very good for the master to catch one, so she had to sigh helplessly, "Since the master said so, I won't get in the way, but I hope his appearance is not too bad, that will wronged my daughter." ”

"Don't worry! I've seen this person, he looks very delicate, although his figure is not tall, but it is enough for Sanniang, and Mrs. can see it later, I am really not satisfied, let's forget it. ”

As the old couple was talking, a carriage slowly stopped at the door, and the butler sitting in front jumped out of the carriage and smiled at Gao Shenxing: "Master, someone brought it." ”

Mrs. Gao hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll avoid it first." ”

She hurriedly hid to the side, the housekeeper stepped forward to open the car door, and several women helped Zhou Chun, who was full of gloom, to get out of the carriage, this group of women did not hesitate to let him take advantage of him, so they hugged him all the way over, this is also Gao Shen's painstaking efforts to catch his son-in-law, he was afraid that forcing Zhou Chun with a man would hurt his son-in-law's dignity, so let a few good-looking women go to catch his son-in-law, at least the other party will not be so resistant.

It's a pity that Zhou Chun is not a disciple, he is really aggrieved in his heart, Gao Shen understands in his heart, and stepped forward with a smile and said: "Temporary subordination, let Zhou Xian's nephew be wronged, and apologize to Zhou Xian's nephew slowly in the future." ”

Zhou Chun knew that this was the general, and he was not rude, so he also saluted: "Thank you for the general's love for Zhou Chun, it's just ......"

Where did Gao Shen allow him to refuse, at this time, he didn't hear his wife's cough, which means that his wife passed that level, so he said: "Let's talk about it first, Zhou Xian's nephew, please!" ”

Zhou Chun had no choice but to follow him in, and when they entered the house, Mrs. Gao turned out of the gatehouse, and the housekeeper smiled and said, "What does Madam think of this son-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Gao nodded, "It's okay!" ”

Zhou Chun is very handsome, and he is from a scholarly family, and his temperament is gentle and elegant, which makes Mrs. Gao very satisfied, and it was only at this time that she finally left Li Yanqing behind.

The atmosphere of the Song Dynasty is to marry heavily, attach great importance to the dowry, the dowry of ordinary people is generally fifty or sixty acres of land, many poor families have to borrow money in order to marry their daughters, so there is a proverb in the Song Dynasty, called 'steal the door of five women', if there are five daughters in the family, robbers are too lazy to patronize.

When it comes to a wealthy family or a powerful family, the dowry is even more staggering, for example, the impoverished Qin Hui married the daughter of the rich Wang Zhongshan, and the dowry alone was given to 200,000 yuan, and the poor Jinshi Huang Zuozhi married the daughter of the rich Wang Sheng, and the dowry alone was 5 million yuan.

In the inner hall, Gao Shen's third daughter Gao Tian personally served tea to Zhou Chun, of course she had carefully made up, she looked white and beautiful, Chu Chu was moving, Zhou Chun saw this Peugeot beauty, and most of the dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared immediately.

Gao Shen observed his words and looks, and saw Zhou Chun secretly looking at his daughter from time to time, so he knew that he had taken a fancy to his daughter, and he was secretly happy in his heart, which was half the success.

At this time, Gao Tian also took a fancy to Zhou Chun, and went out with a blushing face, Gao Shen smiled, "This is the first time the little girl has seen outsiders, it seems that she has a good impression of Zhou Xian's nephew, what does the virtuous nephew think of the little girl?" ”

"It's worthy of a famous lady!"

Gao Shen pushed a thick list of dowries to Zhou Chun, and said with a smile: "My three daughters will give the same dowry when they get married, this is the dowry of the younger daughter, I bought it for her a few years ago, and the virtuous nephew might as well take a look at my sincerity." ”

Zhou Chun was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Gao Shen to be so realistic, he went on a blind date when he entered the door, and talked about the dowry when he opened his mouth, but he also wanted to know in his heart, what would be the benefit of marrying the daughter of the Gao family?

He picked up the dowry and looked at it, his eyes were about to fall off, the first item of the dowry was a three-acre beautiful house in the outer city of Bianjing, calculated according to the calculation of 10,000 yuan per acre of house, which was worth 30,000 yuan, 3,000 acres of land, 100,000 yuan, 500 pieces of lake silk, 20 servants, and ten boxes of jewelry and clothing.

Zhou Chun was still worried about his return to his hometown yesterday, and was about to ask Li Yanqing to borrow ten yuan of money, but in a blink of an eye, he was sitting on a family fortune of more than 100,000 yuan, and there was a beautiful family like a flower, Zhou Chun was like a dream, he finally understood why he said that there was a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book, as long as he was admitted to the Jinshi, he had everything.

He muttered, "But..... Students are not sure that they will be able to take the nave. ”

Gao Shen smiled slightly: "Five hundred and eighty-six Jinshi, only twenty people are recorded in the palace examination, I know the difficulty of this very well, besides, unless it is the top three A list, otherwise the second class Jinshi background and the B list of the same Jinshi background is not much different, if you want to get a good job, you have to rely on relationships, like the champion Qin Hui three years ago, the old man has money but no power, and finally has to be a Mizhou professor, our Gao family will not be like this, my eldest son-in-law is Zheng He's second year Jinshi, also the same Jinshi background, I operate for him, he finally got the post of the chief bookkeeper of Liang County, Ruzhou, In the past few years, I have been working for him in the imperial court, Zhenghe was promoted to county governor in four years, and Zhenghe was officially appointed as the magistrate of Liang County in seven years. ”

This is the condition that makes all candidates excited, and in just five years, he has been promoted to the magistrate, and no one can refuse this temptation.

At this time, Gao Shen pushed a marriage letter in front of Zhou Chun again, and said with a smile: "The words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, I will not embarrass the virtuous nephew, but if the virtuous nephew is interested in the little girl, then sign it and draw a pledge on it, and the marriage will be settled." ”

Generally, large families catch their sons-in-law, directly push people into the cave house, and cook raw rice for mature rice, but the Gao family is more of a family with status, he will not do this, as long as Zhou Chun signs the marriage certificate, he is not afraid that he will regret it.

Zhou Chun finally couldn't resist the temptation of being a magistrate for five years, he took up the pen and signed his name on the marriage book, and pressed his handprint.

Gao Shen laughed, "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to go back to the inn tonight." ”

........

In addition to the Gao family, similar comedies are being staged in inns all over Bianjing, but Taixue is very quiet, thanks to the arrangement of the Taixue government, this time more than 1,200 people from Taixue participated in the imperial examination, and 53 people in the examination, in order to let these 53 scholars in the palace examination achieve better results without the interference of catching their sons-in-law, Taixue concentrated them in the highest Guantianlou, and the courtyard door and gate were locked, so that many of the son-in-law teams who infiltrated Taixue could not find the target and had to return in vain.

On the third floor of Guantianlou, Li Yanqing and more than a dozen Zhongbang scholars stood in front of the window and watched the figures that kept appearing in the distance, and one of them said to Li Yanqing with a smile: "It's really a pity, maybe Cai Xianggong is also catching a son-in-law for his granddaughter!" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "Cai Xiangguo can see the ranking list, if he wants to catch his son-in-law, his goal should have been set a long time ago, and he will not wait until this time to come to catch his son-in-law." ”

At this time, Wu Bangchang came over and said with a smile: "Brother Li is reasonable, you might as well guess the top three in this palace exam!" ”

In addition to Li Yanqing and Zhou Chun, Wu Bangchang and Yang Du also passed the test, and Wu Bangchang was particularly high-spirited.

A scholar next to him said with a smile: "Everyone recognizes that Wang Ang of Yangzhou can win the champion this year, he has already been famous all over the world, this time he is the first to hand in the imperial examination, and it is well deserved to win the champion." ”

"It is rumored that His Royal Highness King Jia also participated in the imperial examination, with him, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Wang Ang to win the championship!"

At this time, Wu Bangchang smiled at Li Yanqing and said, "What do you think? ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I don't know!" ”

Wu Bangchang glanced at him, "Brother Xian seems to have something on his mind?" ”

"I can't talk about it, I'm just a little worried!"

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, "I have a friend who lives in the Yinan Inn, and I'm worried that he will be unfortunately caught as a son-in-law?" ”

Wu Bangchang hesitated, "Is Brother Xian talking about Zhou Chun?" ”

"It's him!"

"Is he married?"

"Probably not, he's only twenty years old."

Wu Bangchang didn't speak for a long time, if Zhou Chun was still staying at the inn tonight, it was likely that he would really not be able to escape the purge of the son-in-law capture team.
