Lingjia, Guangping Village.
"Silang, I heard that a relative's family came to the house. My mother said that the child looks good. He is still young and looks quite handsome. Do you want to go out and check it?"
Yang pushed open the door of Ling Yun's room, stood next to him, and cautiously explored.
She just came back from the front hall, and her purpose was to call Ling Yun over to see the people who came to propose marriage today.
Both her husband and Mrs. Liang felt quite satisfied, but Mrs. Liang still asked her to call him, lest they look good but not be able to catch his eye in the end.
"Huh? Mom, what did the second sister say?"
Hearing him mention the second baby, Ms. Yang couldn't help but sigh and said with a sad face, "That girl has been silent all this time. I don't know what's going on."
Ling Yun thought for a moment and said, "My child, let me go to the front yard with you first."
I don't know what happened to the second baby recently. The whole Ling family is busy with her marriage, but as the person involved, she doesn't seem to care at all, leaving them wondering what the second baby is thinking about.
Ling Yun was also worried, did he not do well enough and did not satisfy her, so that was why he was like this?
He shook his head, and if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it for now. He went out to see what the person was like.
Speaking of the Ling family's small courtyard, after the renovation at the front, it has been transformed from a small courtyard into a large courtyard. Ling Yun has a separate courtyard on the left, the sisters are at the back, and the Yang family is on the right. The front hall is dedicated to entertaining guests.
This is also because since Lingyun was elected, today is different from the past, there are more people visiting, and Mr. Liang is unwilling to go to the county, so he can only make extensive renovations to the compound.
The two of them were sitting in the middle. When they saw Ling Yun coming out, they immediately shouted in a low voice, "Grandson, come here."
When the matchmaker below heard this, she secretly glanced at Ling Yun. Gu Zhenghao and his mother Wei Shi, who came to propose marriage, stared at him intently.
"grandmother…"
Ling Yun asked Mrs. Liang to take care of her, then walked quickly to her and sat down.
Then his eyes moved to Gu Zhenghao, and after a closer look, he found that the person who came was indeed able to see through it.
Neither tall nor thin, she looks quite pleasing to the eye. No wonder she can catch the eyes of both Mr. Liang and his parents.
When Gu Zhenghao saw Ling Yun sizing him up, he couldn't help but panic. He lowered his head and said nothing, cautiously, for fear that his every move would cause the other party's dissatisfaction.
After looking at it, Ling Yun looked at Gu Zhenghao and asked lightly, "You haven't asked for advice?"
When Gu Zhenghao heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said to him, "I am Gu Zhenghao, a native of Gu'an Village. I have met the Master of Juren."
"Um?"
Salute to the editor?
Could it be that the person in front of me is a scholar? He secretly clicked his tongue twice and looked like he didn't look like it!
He doesn't have the aura of a scholar on his body, and his palms are thick and covered with calluses. It seems that he comes from a poor family and often works in the fields. However, judging from the salute just now, it is indeed the courtesy of a scholar.
"Have you ever been able to read?"
Ling Yun's words were asked very lightly, and he seemed to be no different from ordinary people. However, when he thought of his identity as a judge, Gu Zhenghao's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.
Swallowing, gathering his thoughts, he lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Master Juren, I heard that proposing marriage to the second young lady of the Ling family required the status of a child, so I took the scientific examination in the early summer of last year. Fortunately, I happened to pass it this year.
try."
"oh?"
The year before last, that is, the year he set the threshold for his second son, it had only been less than a year and a half since the prefectural examination this year.
If it is true that what this person said is true, it only takes a year and a half to pass the government examination. This is not easy. If you work hard in the future, you will be a scholar.
"Are you sure you passed the government examination in just one and a half years?"
Although Tongsheng is simple, if it only takes a year and a half, those people are definitely geniuses, which is why he asked this question.
Gu Zhenghao shook his head and said, "No!"
He paused for a long time, wondering if he was thinking of some sad past events. With tears in his eyes, he trembled slightly and said, "I have been studying and literacy with my father since I was a child, but my fate was unfair. God took away my father's life early.
"
"After my father passed away, my mother was also sick in bed due to excessive sadness. In order to heal her, I had no choice but to stop studying."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Yun actually sympathized with this person. It was uncomfortable to think about having to cut off his dream of studying for the sake of his mother.
Although he had previous study experience, he passed the Tongsheng examination in one and a half years, which is enough to show that this person has talent.
For the sake of his mother, he would rather not study, which shows that this person is very filial.
"Have you ever been married?"
Ling Yun asked everyone present at Meng's words. They all stared at him in astonishment, as if they were thinking about what he meant by his words.
Ling Yun didn't explain. He actually asked this out of caution. After all, not getting married at the age of twenty was a big change in this era.
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
At this age, it is logically impossible for him not to be married. If he is married and his wife is widowed, he will be fooled by saying that he was unmarried.
In fact, Ling Yun was overly worried. He was one of the few elected officials in Lingshan County. With their status, they would dare to deceive him with lies.
"Never."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Ling Yun smiled, indicating that he was very satisfied with this person.
But when Gu Zhenghao saw him smiling, his heart became even more hairy. He didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
Before Gu Zhenghao could react, he heard Ling Yun continue, "Since you are a scholar, how about I test you in this book?"
The corner of Gu Zhenghao's mouth twitched. Is it okay if he wanted to say no?
I saw him bowing his body and saying respectfully, "Please give me some advice, Master Juren!"
"What is filial piety?"
Gu Zhenghao was stunned for a while, then walked up the hall, shaking his head and saying, "Filial filial piety is the most important thing in the world. With the word filial piety, the whole family is safe. Filial piety is the first step in humanity. Children who are filial must be wise and virtuous. Do your best to be filial to your parents and relatives."
Don't reply when you are blamed. Everything goes wrong because you are unfilial. How do you know that filial piety can move heaven..."
"Quoting the past to discuss the present is a good thing, and sometimes it is a bad thing. But if you quote it in front of this person, do you think it is good or bad?"
Ling Yun's words should not be disrespected, as they are making things difficult.
Who doesn't know that he is a Juren? You, a little boy, show off your knowledge in books in front of a Juren. You really don't know it.
"I'm stupid."
"That's the question. Next, I hope you can speak according to your own thoughts."
"What is a wife? How to treat a wife?"
"this…"
Gu Zhenghao was choked for words and didn't know how to answer.
The people around him also didn't understand the purpose of Ling Yun's move. Marrying a wife was regarded as having children, but they were also confused by the question of how to treat his wife.
Especially the matchmaker, she has never seen anyone need to answer questions when proposing a marriage, and she is indeed the sister of a married woman, which is different!
Gu Zhenghao thought about it, but he still didn't have a definite answer. He could only rely on his own understanding and said slowly, "When you marry a wife, you should treat each other with mutual affection. No matter whether you are poor or lowly or rich, you should never leave her. Treat your wife as if you are respectful, like a guest, and full of love.
, do not cast aside the bad couple for the sake of fame and fortune, nor do they separate because of suffering."
After Gu Zhenghao finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yun nervously, not knowing whether his answer would satisfy him.
In fact, how could such an answer be satisfactory? Ten people out of ten would give the answer. He just wanted to find someone more reliable for Er Wa, someone worthy of being entrusted to him for the rest of his life.
To be honest, he was quite satisfied with Gu Zhenghao, but he still needed to ask Erwa for his opinion.
After asking what he wanted to know, Ling Yun stopped talking to Gu Zhenghao, and they left not long after.
