After Xu Hao and Cui Ying had been dating for half a month, Zhang Ning, who was eager to hold his grandson, agreed on a date and wanted the parents of both parties to discuss the matter of their relationship. After all, Xu Hao didn't have much vacation left, and he might have to go to the New World to get married. But he didn’t want to get engaged and couldn’t meet her, so she wanted to get the engagement done as soon as possible!
The Cui family was overjoyed. Of course they wanted to get engaged as soon as possible, lest they would have long nights and dreams. After all, Xu Hao's marriage was a hot topic in Jidu, but no one thought that they would settle down after just meeting one family. I don't know how many people are regretting it now. !
Cui Yan, the head of the family, was worried about the situation and specifically asked his son-in-law Niu Gui to discuss the marriage together as the head of the girl's family.
"What preparations do my son-in-law need to make when he goes to the ruling house this time? What are the taboos? It would be bad if he makes the ruling house unhappy!" Cui Yan said a little nervously.
If this were the Han Dynasty, their family would be getting married to the royal family. According to the previous etiquette, three letters, six appointments, and eight sedans would be carried. It would not take more than half a year to prepare. Now, they are getting engaged in just a few days. Although He felt relieved, but also felt a little rude.
Of course, the wedding etiquette of the Daqian court has been simplified a lot now. Firstly, in the past, Xu Wei presided over the marriages of middle and high-ranking generals in Daqian.
In the beginning, the conditions in Mayi were simple. Everyone held a collective wedding, and that was it for them to have a banquet. Even those who did not participate in the collective wedding mostly just saw each other, got a marriage certificate, and then had a banquet for relatives of both parties. That's it, it's extremely simple.
As the Daqian Dynasty became more and more prosperous, this simple set of marriage etiquette gradually began to be popularized in Daqian territory. After all, Daqian was an era that steadily entered an industrialized society from an agricultural society and pursued the concept of efficiency. It has begun to take root in people's hearts. It is difficult to prepare for a marriage like the past for several months to meet the needs of this era.
Niu Gui said with a smile: "Father-in-law, just keep a normal mind. When he was in power, he always emphasized that life is life and work is work. Now we are going to marry him and treat him as an ordinary person. You don't have to do this. Nervous, you and the ruler will be relatives from now on," Niu Gui said to ease his father-in-law's nervousness.
But Cui Yan said: "The ruler is not an ordinary person, but what you said is right. If I panic like this, it will definitely make the ruler look down on our Cui family! Normal heart, normal heart!"
Cui Yan has also met people in the market. When the big man was still there, he even met Emperor Ling, but he was not as nervous as he is today.
There is no way this is the suppression of blood. He has been in power and suppressed the world's noble families for 30 years. People like him will definitely be nervous if they want to see Xu Wei!
Niu Gui, on the other hand, was amused when he saw his father-in-law being so nervous, so he told him some good news to relieve his father-in-law's nervousness: "My father-in-law, I already told my son-in-law two days before taking office that he will take the imperial examination in the future." There is no political review in examinations and military selection. If the children of the Cui family want to be officials or join the army, they can take the imperial examination and the military academy!"
After Cui Yan heard this, she was extremely shocked and said: "Xianxiang, are you telling the truth?"
He couldn't believe it. The policy that had imprisoned them for 30 years was gone. They originally thought that this policy would not be lifted until the president died of illness!
Niu Gui nodded and said: "How dare my son-in-law spread such words? But the government has said that this policy should not be publicized in a big way, but should be passed smoothly. I wish you knew it!"
Cui Yan couldn't listen to anything else at this time. He just knew that his family finally had no restrictions. He laughed loudly and said: "God has eyes, and the ruler is merciful. The confinement of our family is finally lifted! My virtuous son-in-law. Thanks to you, otherwise our Cui family would have declined slowly!" He thought this was the result of Niu Gui's persuasion.
The political review of Daqian is simply a nightmare for wealthy nobles like them!
It can be said that this policy completely cut off their path to the upper echelons of the Daqian Dynasty. Among the newly born Daqian Dynasty, almost no one was from the Han Dynasty. Only a few families of the Han Dynasty escaped, but they also Having lost its prosperity in the past, it can be said that this change of dynasties brought down all the senior officials of the Han Dynasty.
If they had taken the initiative to change the dynasty, the cost would be so high, they would rather not fight with the royal family. The past few decades have been a complete nightmare for them, and now this nightmare is finally over.
When it comes to real knowledge, he doesn't think his children will fail the exams of ordinary people. Although it's a little late to start now, as long as the imperial examinations are still there, he is confident that the children of his Cui family will be able to slowly advance to the top of Daqian!
But Niu Gui said: "Although the science and technology examination will no longer restrict everyone, my son-in-law still feels that his father-in-law should let the children of the Cui family who have the ability directly go to college. The government attaches great importance to universities. It is said that he will Every state in the entire Daqian region must build a university.
These universities are the Taixue of Daqian, and the students who come out of the universities will definitely be reused. Over the years, the government has been slowly replacing officials with military backgrounds with scholars from these universities. The same is true for other industries. The government has always said , we need to promote younger and more educated officials, as we people are already a little behind the pace of governing!
Therefore, if you want to have a future in the future, you must go to college. Like this time when the confinement was lifted, my father-in-law thought it was my credit, but in fact it was the ruling student Zhuge Liang who persuaded the ruling! If any of the Cui family's children can become the ruling disciples, These people must have a bright future!"
Zhuge Liang also knew that when he was in power and accepted disciples, he regretted not teaching his disciples to learn more new things, so that he lost the opportunity to become a disciple in power. But now after hearing Niu Gui's words, he regretted it even more. He did not expect Zhuge Liang His influence will be so great that if the children of his family become ruling students, the day when his Cui family will be revived is just around the corner.
Cui Yan said seriously: "What the wise son-in-law said is reasonable. I really want to strengthen the Cui family's children's research on new learning!"
They are the best at studying knowledge. They studied Confucian classics for hundreds of years and almost became their family study. This is the result of their efforts from generation to generation!
Now Qi Feng is studying the new learning from scratch. As long as hundreds of years pass and his Cui family continues to study it from generation to generation, he will definitely become the master of the new learning!
However, after he finished talking about Cui Ying's engagement, he looked at Niu Gui and said worriedly: "Xiansu, the whole country is talking about Xiansu, you are about to retire. You are not even 60 years old now, and you are still in your prime."
