Chapter 1079: Freemasonry
Just like Mama Wang said, Lu Linping's identity as the champion is nothing in front of the Liupin Edict Qin Clan, not to mention that he is also facing Chen Xiaonuan, the lord of Wenchang County, and Chai Yansheng, the king of Sheng. Therefore, although I knew that the Lu family was going to marry a daughter, there was not a single family of civil and military officials and eunuchs in Ji County who wanted to marry the Lu family!
Not only the official eunuchs, but even the merchants in Ji County did not want to marry Lu Qiyuan's daughter. Speaking of reasons, there are three main reasons: first, it is not worth offending Chen Xiaonuan, the number one overlord in Ji County, for the sake of a magistrate who has only been in office for three years; Second, Lu Qiyuan's private property was exposed, and everyone had a wait-and-see attitude towards how far he could go on the official road; Third, even if Lu Linping is the champion, but with Chen Zumo's experience, the people of Jixian County really don't think that the champion is a title that is not available, which is very unreliable.
Therefore, although she jumped up and down for more than ten days, Mrs. Lu failed to find a suitable family for Lu Zijia and settle the family affairs.
Mrs. Lu was so anxious that her mouth was full of bubbles, and she was about to go to the room, but Lu Zijia was as stable as an old monk, and Lu Linping was shocked, and asked her why she was not worried at all.
Lu Zijia said while embroidering, "Parents are in charge of family affairs, Zijia doesn't count what he says, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”
Lu Linping sank his face, "Could it be that you still miss Zhao Shuyan?" ”
Lu Zijia was silent.
"Why don't you want to think about it, Zhao Shuyan and Chen Xiaonuan are close, our family has a bad relationship with the Qin family's mother and daughter, how can Zhao Shuyan agree to this family business? Asking your mother to run for you at Zhao's house can only embarrass her. ”
As a concubine, Lu Zijia was cautious, for fear of upsetting her mother and brother-in-law, but she bowed her head and was younger for fifteen years, but she got such a result, how willing she was. Yes, now Lu Zijia doesn't want to endure it, she fell off the embroidered bandage and said angrily, "Our family has a bad relationship with the Qin family's mother and daughter, is it because of the little sister, why do you want me to swallow this bitter fruit?" ”
Lu Linping's face also darkened, "Are you blaming me?" ”
You know it was because of you! Lu Zijia said respectfully, "The eldest brother is the champion of the new department, praised by thousands of people, how dare the little sister blame you." ”
It's unreasonable! Lu Linping brushed his sleeves and went out of the door, striding to the front office to see his father, he was anxious to settle Lu Zijia's family affairs, so that he could enter Beijing to mediate his official position. Lu Qiyuan was busy with Xia Xun's affairs, and listening to his son mention his daughter's family affairs was even more of a big three, "A good girl doesn't worry about getting married, but it's really not enough to add some dowry to her, and the family who is looking for a family to study is married." ”
"Go to the five watches and Yunkai two study houses, and maybe you can find the pearl of the sea." Lu Linping and his father thought of a place, Qinjia Village and Nanshan Pass, where young talents from Dengzhou were gathered, many of whom were from poor families. Their status as the champion and the marriage of their little sister's eighty acres of land are enough to make them tempted.
When Lu Linping wandered around Qinjia Village, he would inevitably meet Chen Zumo, who frequently traveled between the clan and the Chen family. When these two people met, they didn't need to speak, just one look gave birth to a sense of sympathy and sympathy, and they went to Shanchang Tea to eat tea together.
The business of Shanchang Tea House is still thriving, and people from all walks of life are talking loudly in the lobby, which attracts thunderous applause from the four seats. The two champions came in in a low-key manner and found a quiet house to drink tea and chat.
No need to ask, Chen Zumo also knew what Lu Linping was here for, he took the initiative to introduce a suitable candidate for him, "There is a teacher Jiang Fuzi in the family studies, he is from a human background, he has an only son named Jiang Zhisheng is seventeen years old, intelligent and courteous, and has an outstanding appearance. It's just one point, because Jiang Zhisheng's mother is weak and sick, she often needs medicine, and the bundles obtained by Jiang Fuzi's teaching are used to buy medicine, and the family background is a little worse. ”
Seventeen-year-old can show talent, which is not bad. Lu Linping arched his hand, "Thank you, Mr. for your help, can you ask Mr. to introduce me?" ”
Chen Zumo smiled bitterly, "Master Jiang has some complaints about Chen, Lin Ping might as well ask Mr. Yunqing or Ding Shanchang to be the matchmaker." ”
Lu Linping was surprised and moved, and raised his glass and said, "Mr. Love, Lin Ping keeps it in mind." ”
Chen Zumo ate a cup of tea, and said, "When will Lin Ping return to Beijing?" ”
"When the little sister's family affairs are decided, Lin Ping will go back." Lu Linping saw that Chen Zumo was sincere, so he raised the doubts in his heart, "Sir, Lin Ping has a matter, I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”
Chen Zumo nodded, and listened to him preach, "After Mr. won the championship, he returned to his hometown to repair the ancestral hall, build a family study house, and buy a family field, and did a lot of practical things. In particular, the clan study and study house are convenient for the children of all families in the village to study and study, which is a great good, why don't the people in the village thank Mr. for his kindness? The people with the surnames Qin and Han in the village are just that, why do the Chen clan also have a lot of complaints about Mr.? ”
Chen Zumo sighed, "You and I are both born in hard study, and we only want to write to the sages, and after I have succeeded in reading, I want to show my ambitions and smear the liver and brain for the country and the people, but the world is difficult, and the people are unpredictable. ”
"Chen's family is poor, and he used the money he earned after winning the champion to do a few practical things for the clan, but he couldn't stop the opportunistic stealers. Chen Mou built a clan school for the convenience of the schoolchildren in the village, and the income was only enough to maintain the operation of the clan school, and he never thought of making a penny from it. However, the Qin clan arranged the restraint of the Qin clan's children! Therefore, the people of the Qin clan did not appreciate Chen's kindness, but they remembered the kindness of the Qin clan! Chen's clansmen also complained because of this, why was the Qin family able to tie up the Qin family, but Chen couldn't avoid the Chen family's children! ”
"What a reason!" Lu Linping frowned.
"The five watches of the study house that was given the name of the saint, the five cars of the book house. At first, he set up a bookstore because Chen bought back five carts of books for the village, hoping that every family in the village would cultivate and read, and every household would have a fragrant ink. However, because the study house was built in the tea house jointly opened by the Qin family and the Zhao family, everyone called it Qin's kindness and forgot about Chen's purchase of books. ”
Speaking of the past, Chen Zumo gushed endlessly, "After the Qin family made a fortune, this spring to Qinjia Village Qin and Han two families distributed twenty catties of cotton seeds, but only did not give the Chen family, Xiao Nuan opened up Nanshan Pass, all kinds of livelihood, work is also done by Qin and Han surnames, and so on, the Qin and Han families are more and more towards them, Chen Zu people to Chen, whispers gradually increased, it has become the current situation. ”
"Only villains and women are difficult to raise!" Lu Linping said with emotion, "Sir, do you regret driving the Qin family out of the Chen family back then?" ”
"I don't have a good temperament with the Qin family, and I can't be a long-term husband and wife. What Chen regretted was that he shouldn't have pity for her and handed over his two daughters to her to raise. Speaking of which, the two can be regarded as heart-to-heart, Chen Zumo asked Lu Linping, "Do you really want to marry a girl from the Cheng family?" ”
Lu Linping looked embarrassed, "Sir, do you think Lin Ping should marry or not?" ”
