There are only two long tables in the small garden. The woman and the young lady are sitting at the tables. Several peach trees not far away are blooming like haze. One of the peach trees in particular is half white and half red, which is very attractive.
Attention.
The Li family in Longxi chooses a daughter-in-law, and it is now the most prestigious Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi. Quite a few aristocratic families are interested in this.
Mrs. Zhu was sitting at the end of the long table, and next to her was Mrs. Yang, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in Wucheng, Qinghe County.
Zhang Wenguan went to Beijing.
Under Yang's low-pitched introduction, Zhu silently memorized the backgrounds of everyone present and hesitated in her heart. Although everyone said that you should lower your head to marry a daughter and raise your head to get a daughter-in-law, is this expectation too high?
There are eight families in total, and the one who came the most was the Fan Yang Lu family, who came with three daughters-in-law and four young ladies... Among the five surnames and seven families, the direct descendants of the main branch married outside the family, and they only married internally for generations.
But it is also biased.
For example, the Li family in Zhaojun and the Cui family in Boling have been married for generations, and the Lu family in Fanyang and the Zheng family in Xingyang have been married for generations.
The Li family in Longxi was mainly married to the Cui family in Qinghe and the Lu family in Fanyang for generations, so today the Fanyang Lu family and the Qinghe Cui family account for half of the eight families.
The remaining families are mostly lower-level aristocratic families, such as the Liu family in Hedong, the Xue family in Hedong, etc.
Mrs. Zhu thought in her heart that Da Lang had tempered and had a gentle temper in the past two years, but at the critical moment, he still insisted that marrying a girl from a well-established family might not be a good thing... But if Da Lang wanted to advance his career, marriage was inevitable.
One step forward.
Although it is actually for marriage, in name it is just for enjoying the scenery, and these noble ladies are not left to be picked by others, they just show up on similar occasions... which means they are almost old enough.
Changsun also told Mr. Zhu in advance that there are many similar occasions, so take your time and choose... With Li Shan's character and talent, although he is not a member of a wealthy family, he is not a member of a poor family either, so there is still room for selection.
In fact, the most important reason is that the Changsun family found out from Princess Qin that Cui Xin, a famous scholar of the Cui family in Qinghe, was interested. Unfortunately, Li Shan killed Cui Bo a few days later...
Outsiders thought that Li Shan, who had made great achievements in Shandong, was wavering between the East Palace and the King of Qin. After all, he had good relations with both parties... but the Changsun family, who knew Li Shan's life experience, knew it well.
In the future when his life experience will be revealed to the world, Li Shan will definitely join the service of the King of Qin. Such a young hero is qualified to marry into a prominent family.
"Having been in Beijing for half a month, I have heard for a long time that Li Huairen is a talented poet. The peach blossoms are in full bloom recently. I wonder if there are any good works?"
The voice was slightly sharp, and Mrs. Zhu turned around to see a young woman. She remembered that Mr. Yang had introduced her before, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family of Fan Yang, who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.
Previously, everyone was drinking and enjoying the scenery, and those who were not allowed to drink were drinking. When Mrs. Zhu drank several glasses of wine, she saw Mrs. Cui with a sarcastic look on her face.
Zhu raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when a woman next to her smiled and said in front of her: "Haven't you heard that...Li Huairen's poems must go through careful consideration. If there is a poem praising the peach blossoms, the poem will be completed on the day it is written."
, I’m afraid all the peaches have been picked to make wine.”
Everyone laughed, Yang nodded and said, "Erlang is coming to Chang'an today. Let him visit Huairen tomorrow and ask him. Maybe he can write a poem before the flowers fall."
"Is Zhigui coming to Chang'an?" The woman asked curiously, "Is the eldest brother coming too?"
Yang shook his head and said: "My husband has no time. Erlang wants to settle down in Chang'an and prepare for the scientific examination next year."
The Changsun family not far away glanced over, but unexpectedly Cui Xin's wife Zhang was willing to rescue the Zhu family... Also, Li Shan had a life-saving grace for his nephew Zhang Wenguan.
More than ten days ago, Cui Xin, a famous scholar from Shandong who had been an official since the Sui Dynasty, set out to enter the customs and arrived in Chang'an. He was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe by the sage Li Yuan.
Zhongshu Sheren is not of high moral character, but it is an extremely important key position in the Zhongshu Province. Those who are not talented, knowledgeable, and of high moral character cannot be elected... In fact, this official position has always been the only way to become prime minister.
.
After chatting for a while, the banquet broke up, and they left in twos and threes. Yang took hold of Zhu and whispered something. Suddenly, a young lady with bright eyes and white teeth came over and saluted: "Greetings, Auntie, Madam Zhu.
"
Yang hesitated for a moment before introducing with a smile: "This is the eldest daughter of the Cui family, ranked twelfth."
Miss Cui's face was flushed, and she looked at Mrs. Zhu furtively.
Zhu, who had no idea what was going on, was smiling and sizing up the little girl. She was beautiful and dignified, with few gold and silver jewelry, and a voice as clear and sweet as a lark.
"Shandong was pacified thanks to Li Langjun." Miss Cui whispered: "After ten days in Chang'an, I also heard about Li Langjun's poetic talent."
"It's an award." Mrs. Zhu was a little proud... Although she still doesn't know why her son suddenly became talented in poetry, she is sure that it was not Ma Zhou but Ling Jing who was the ghostwriter.
"The peach blossoms are blooming today. Such a grand occasion, if it could be turned into a poem..."
"If it really becomes a poem, my aunt will definitely tell you." Yang smiled and pointed over there, "Your mother is still waiting for you."
Yang is a sensible person. In fact, Zhang Wenguan was her son who first had this idea... Now it seems that Miss Cui is tempted. Did she see her in Qinghe?
Mrs. Cui saluted again, took a few steps back, then turned and left... It was completely in the manner of the younger generation, which makes sense, after all, Yang is her aunt.
Zhu returned home confused and immediately called Li Shan to ask what happened. Zhu Wei and Ling Jing were also present.
Li Shan couldn't help but ask: "Mother, there are so many young ladies today, which one do you dislike the most?"
"They are all noble ladies!" Mrs. Zhu glared, "But the last one, Miss Cui, is dignified and polite..."
"Hehe, she is Cui Xin's only daughter." Ling Jing knew who it was as soon as he heard it. He glanced at the lazy Li Shan and said, "I didn't expect that looking at the deck of the ship from a distance, it would be such a fate."
Li Shan sneered and said, "Don't be ridiculous. From that day when I beheaded Cui Bo in front of Cui Xin, until I left Qinghe, I never saw Cui Xin again."
Zhu was impatient and scolded him a few times. Ling Jing explained in detail.
Zhu and Zhu Wei were a little excited when they heard that Cui of Qinghe had intended to marry a daughter... In this era, there are many signs of success, but being able to marry a girl from five surnames and seven families is definitely a sign of success.
But then I heard that it was because Li Shan killed Cui Bo... Zhu's face was a little distorted.
Li Shan and Ling Jing looked at each other. They both knew well. Cui Xin's test that day was vaguely intentional. To a large extent, he was not interested in Li Shan himself, but in the Qin King Li Shimin behind Li Shan.
After all, he was surrounded by Li Daoxuan, Tian Liuan, Qi Shanxing, and Zhang Xuansu, all of whom were from the lineage of the King of Qin. But then Li Shan killed Cui Bo, which was equivalent to doing Wei Zheng a big favor and taking the blame for Wei Zheng... It was also equivalent to helping the East Palace.
The prince came to the rescue.
Later, Li Shan took the imperial examination and became an official... and did not join the Qin Palace as Cui Xin imagined.
In this case, is it still possible for Choi Shin to put Lee Sun on the list?
Li Shan couldn't help but think in his heart, would Cui Xin choose King Qin when he entered the court?
At this time, Mrs. Zhu slapped the table and said, "Don't delay with deliberation, hurry up!"
Ling Jing smiled half-heartedly, "Huairen, your order today cannot be just two lines of poetry, right?"
Miss Cui asked for a poem... Li Shan thought of the figure on the small building on the bank when he left Qinghe, and he couldn't help but said: "Last year, today, in this door, the human face and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red. I don't know where the human face is, but the peach blossoms are still smiling."
spring breeze."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shan regretted it.
