Chapter 664 The young talent who made an agreement with me (second update)
In the official office of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Zhizhong, the head of the Ministry of Rites, had the rare opportunity to inform a group of officials in his office that three days later he would host a banquet in his mansion to entertain his colleagues.
Announcement of a major event, a lifelong event regarding his stepdaughter who had been adopted for just a few months.
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials in the Ministry of Rites, including many officials who had dealings with Wu Zhizhong and who had nephews and nephews who were about to come of age and who had not yet married a daughter-in-law, all immediately became energetic.
Even Cai Jing had seriously considered it, but considering Wu Zhizhong's relationship with him, it was impossible to marry Na Fujin to his son.
In the end, I gave up the plan of coming to the door in person. It would be too humiliating for a high-ranking minister to be scolded and rejected forcefully for the sake of his children's marriage.
Three days later, Wu Zhizhong's mansion was bustling with activity, with dozens of officials drinking wine and eating meat while muttering in low voices.
How Wu Zhizhong will solve this stepdaughter's life-long event today has indeed aroused everyone's curiosity.
The key point is that during this time, the officials did not have any difficulties with Wu Zhizhong after he adopted Emperor Maode.
Maybe in the heart of the officials, they don't want their beloved daughter to be with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of her life.
"If you had said this a few years ago, dear brother, I would have really considered it carefully."
"To be able to have such a bizarre encounter is actually a hundred times more bizarre than the novel."
"Who could it be? I'm afraid that because of his young age and his talent and knowledge, he would be favored by Wu Shangshu, right?"
"Hiss... Why do I think it's possible?"
A pair of eyes full of strange colors moved back and forth between Wu Zhi, who was smiling indifferently, and Chen Shilang.
"A few years ago, there were even more. After all, after the official family ordered the children of officials to participate in the special examination, a group of young people passed the exam..."
For example, the Liulang of our Prime Minister Cai’s family, the Dalang of the Tong Counselor’s family, and the prodigy Gao Zhang who has not yet married..."
"Hey, I heard a rumor. It is said that she is Princess Maode, who admires the child prodigy and the number one scholar Gao Zhang."
But the problem is that the character of Wu Zhizhong, an important minister who has been loyal and straightforward all his life, is definitely time-tested.
Under such circumstances, everyone ate and drank in a tacit understanding while waiting patiently, hoping to see who would jump out and start the conversation first.
"This young talent, has his ancestors accumulated great virtues for eight generations, or is there smoke rising from his ancestral graves?"
They also want to know which young talent can be favored by Wu Shangshu, a hot-tempered minister who dares to fight no matter whether it is the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing or the coward Zhao Ji.
"Why are there not many of them? For example, among the people who have entered the imperial examination today and are nearly thirty years old and have not yet married, there must be seventy or eighty, if not a hundred."
"Yes, yes, I remember that among those talented people, there are quite a few 'heroes'.
The officials whose mood suddenly darkened after hearing Wu Zhizhong's answer also looked at Wu Zhizhong curiously.
"Afterwards, Empress Maode became disheartened and decided to become a monk and escape into Buddhism, intending to accompany the ancient Buddha Qingdeng throughout her life."
"Don't worry, you will know when he comes soon."
"However, it's too late for you to say so now. Several years ago, I had already made an agreement with a young talent.
After a short while, Minister Chen stood up after drinking several glasses of wine.
When the two people in front were mentioned, the official's face was obviously mocking, but when he was talking about Gao Zhang, his expression became much more serious.
If I have a daughter, he will definitely come to propose marriage in person and recognize me as my father-in-law."
"... I didn't expect that at that time, the officials heard what I and the young talented man said, and they also came to witness it for me and the two of them."
And the chat he had with this young talent was really lively, and he was very optimistic about this young man, so he joked that if he had a daughter, he would definitely marry this young talent.
"Mr. Wu, you are nearly eighty years old and have only one son. Now you have a virtuous and virtuous daughter. This is a great blessing."
It's just because of face that I kept silent. I don't know which official's son could be so lucky to marry this virtuous and virtuous little lady Fujin.
As soon as Shilang Chen said these words, the birthday banquet suddenly fell into silence.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for the moment. The young talent who made an agreement with me has arrived, hahaha..."
"Speaking of which, although there was a big age difference between me and that young talent, I was still a close friend..."
"But it's not a lot, right? A few years... You have to understand that Wu Shangshu presided over two provincial examinations, and there are many talents who entered the imperial examination."
After all, Gao Zhang was the son of Captain Gao, but he was different from the previous two in that he got into high school entirely on his own merit.
Hearing Gao Zhang's name, another official couldn't help but gleam in his eyes.
"But I heard that the prodigy number one scholar has already made an appointment with a girl from the Fang family."
"If we talk about young people, there shouldn't be many who haven't married yet, right?"
"But just now Wu Shangshu..."
Chen Shilang exclaimed in an exaggerated way.
What you say means one thing, and you will never brag or make nonsense.
But it is precisely because it is true that it makes people riot.
Hearing this, Wu Zhizhong smiled heartily and raised the wine glass in front of him.
Listening to this absurd and bizarre story, everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
"But the problem is that the officials love Gao Zhang's talent very much, and naturally they don't want such a pillar of the country to marry his daughter, so he will ruin his good career, so he rejected Emperor Maode's request."
"Xiaguan is very greedy when he looks at it. Now Xiaguan Quanzi is fifteen years old and not yet married. I don't know Mr. Wu..."
"A few years ago? I wonder which young talent could win the favor of Mr. Wu."
Just as chatter and noises were heard below, the steward of the Wu Mansion quickly entered the hall and rushed to Wu Shangshu's side and whispered.
And this young talent also said that if he really had a beloved daughter, he would definitely come to propose marriage to Qin and Jin, and make a 100-year promise.
Wu Zhizhong slowly talked about his fate with the young talent while sipping the wine in his cup.
At this moment, Gao Zhang had already arrived outside the hall in formal attire, and heard the particularly wanton and triumphant laughter of Wu Zhizhong, an old gangster in the hall.
He rolled his eyes helplessly, no matter what, he has come and cannot return empty-handed.
