Chapter 356: Choosing a Marriage
Spring in Beijing Chapter 356: Marriage Selection
The old man said boldly, "Why not? Let Meng Chen bring more escort ladies, book a restaurant or teahouse in the place where Jiang Xun will pass by, and sit in and watch. Especially the boys, let them go and see more of those top picks.
Rank second in the rankings, third overall, and set ambitious goals for yourself.”
He also gestured with his eyes to Meng Zhaocun, meaning that only this little kid couldn't go, and everyone else could go.
Huang Xin quickly said, "Let's make a decision now. If it's too late, we won't be able to make a decision."
While everyone was still eating, Meng Lianshan was sent back by Meng Cimo to deliver a message.
He reported, "Congratulations to Grandma, Jiang Tanhua has been appointed by the Holy Emperor as a second-class sword-bearing guard in front of the imperial family, and a fourth-class official."
This position is both prestigious and responsible, and it also requires the emperor's trust and appreciation. Although Jiang Xun's desire to go to the border has been temporarily put on hold, when the emperor lets him go out to experience, he will definitely entrust him with important tasks. It can be said that the future is limitless.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. Then he asked, "What positions are given to the top pick and the second pick?"
Meng Lianshan smiled and said, "Li Zhuangyuan was given the rank of third-rank guerrilla general of the fifth regiment camp, and the second-ranked officer of the Song Dynasty was made the fourth-rank commander of the Zuowei camp."
Regardless of liberal arts or martial arts, the top pick is the most popular, followed by the top pick, and sometimes the top pick is even more eye-catching than the top pick. The main reason is that the top pick must be young and handsome, and everyone is interested in the top pick. Many people who are looking for a son-in-law at the bottom of the list also like the top pick most.
.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Let's talk about Jinke. Li Zhuangyuan was nearly thirty years old, and his son was about to get a wife. Song Zhuangyuan was twenty-six years old, and he had a wife not to mention. He was also powerful and average-looking.
As for Jiang Tanhua, she is young and handsome, comes from a distinguished family, and has both civil and military skills. Jiang Tanhua will definitely be the most popular one during the horse riding parade tomorrow.
The old man and Jiang Yixi both knew that in terms of pure performance, Jiang Xun would definitely not be ranked third. But he was young and handsome, and these two factors gave him a lot of points, so he was appointed by the emperor as the prostitute.
Meng Cimo came back in the evening and told the story about the emperor's meeting with the martial arts scholars, looking very proud of himself.
"The emperor interviewed the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick. He praised the young Jiang Xun, saying that 'a hero comes from a young man'. I heard that he was my grandfather's student, my brother-in-law, and he said that my grandfather taught him well.
Many courtiers asked me today whether Jiang Tanhua is engaged or not."
The Jiang family hung red and green as quickly as possible. At this time, the whole family was waiting for Jiang Xun to come back in Ruyi Hall.
Even the third master has gone home.
Previously, the Jiang family thought that it would be good if Jiang Xun could pass the Juren examination. After passing the Juren examination, they also thought that it would be good to pass the Jinshi examination. Unexpectedly, he was selected by the emperor as the third flower in the imperial examination, and was also named the second-class sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor.
Many people came to talk to matchmakers in the afternoon today, including aristocratic families, including the prince's palace.
The third master smiled and said, "I have been working hard in the military camp for more than ten years, and with the support of the Meng family, I was promoted to the third rank this year. And Xun'er, who was not yet seventeen, won the third rank and became the imperial guard of the fourth rank.
Sword guard. This official position is not only dignified, but also has a bright future."
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Jin were even more sore in their hearts. Regardless of their titles, just in terms of official positions, the two of them were far behind Jiang Xun, who had just entered the officialdom. However, Jiang Xun's success was still a happy event for the Jiang family.
There are benefits.
Their joy was greater than their jealousy.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so happy that her face turned sour. It was possible for her family to get married to the county prince's house. Although the girl was only the concubine of the county prince, the two houses were also in-laws.
She regretted leaving Jiang Xun's marriage to Jiang Yixi.
The old lady discussed with the eldest and third children, "The seventh girl from Prince Ming's Palace and the second girl from Xipinghou Palace are both very good. Let's talk to Xun'er. If Xun'er agrees, Girl Xi will not object."
Uncle Jiang said, "The third girl from Huang Yushi's family is also pretty good."
The third master considered it carefully and said, "These girls are indeed good. However, since Girl Xi has already said hello in advance, I'd better listen to the opinions of the two siblings."
Jiang Xun and his peers ate and drank, and came back at the end of Xu Shi. He did not go directly to Ruyi Hall, but to the ancestral hall.
When Old Mrs. Jiang heard that Jiang Xun had gone to the ancestral hall again, she looked calm and did not lose her temper. She comforted herself and said, "That is a filial child."
Jiang Xun came out of the ancestral hall at two o'clock in the morning.
He thought that his family had rested, and was about to return to his small courtyard when Wangfu said, "Second Master, the second door is still open. The old lady and others are waiting for you in Ruyi Hall."
Jiang Xun looked up at the stars in the sky and went to Ruyi Hall again.
Except for Jiang Jin's little daughter, everyone was waiting for him in Ruyi Hall.
Jiang Xun was slightly drunk, his face was red, and he was wearing a Tanhua helmet and a Tanhua waist knife. He was even more handsome and brave.
The old lady invited him to sit next to her, holding his hand and looking at him endlessly, which made Jiang Xun very uncomfortable.
In response to everyone's request, Jiang Xun told how the chamberlain rolls names, how wise the emperor is, and how he praises him, which makes people envious.
The old lady looked around and said, "I've heard all that needs to be said. The boss, the third child, Jin'er, and Xun'er are here to stay. You can go back."
The girl walked away satisfied.
The old lady's smile became more kind, "Xun'er, six families came to our house today to talk about marriage. Grandma thinks the girls from Prince Ming's Mansion, Xiping Hou's Mansion, and Huang Yushi's Mansion are all very nice..."
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Grandma, I have fallen in love with a girl. She is beautiful and virtuous. My second sister also knows her. I want to marry her."
Now that he has won the lottery, he is more confident about marrying her. However, he is still afraid that the Zheng family's parents will not agree, so he wants to discuss it with his sister and ask Mr. Meng to negotiate an agreement.
Uncle Jiang asked, "Whose girl is it?"
Jiang Xun pondered and said, "She comes from a high family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reach her. I will discuss it with my sister in a few days to see if I can ask Grandpa Meng to make an agreement."
Tomorrow we will have a horse riding parade, and in the next few days we will celebrate the same year with my husband and classmates. After finishing these things, we will go to the Chengguogong Mansion.
The old lady no longer hesitated.
If you are a high-ranking man, please ask Mr. Meng to discuss the marriage. This marriage will definitely be successful.
The Jiang family, relying on the second brother and sister, will start the glory of their ancestors.
The old lady smiled and said, "Many people brought gifts today, and we want to treat them to guests in three days."
Jiang Xun said, "The time for the treat will be decided later."
He wanted to talk about the marriage before inviting guests.
Now Jiang Tanhua also has the right to speak, and none of the elders have objections to his words.
Two days later, the results of the liberal arts awards were released.
Qu Xiu got the 66th place, and Hu Jiwen got the 268th place. A total of 300 places in this world.
Qu Xiu ranks high and will be awarded Jinshi as expected.
Hu Jiwen was lagging behind in the ranking, so he must be a fellow Jinshi, which already made him very happy. If he had not lived in the Meng Mansion, studied with Qu Xiu at the same time, and consulted famous teachers at the same time, he would not have been able to achieve this ranking.
He knew that even if he was selected as a fellow Jinshi, with the Meng family as a noble family member, he would be able to find a good job.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yishan’s fiancé Gong Yiming failed the list.
