Holding a bright peony in his hand, he is beautifully dressed, has a heroic appearance, and has the support of the descendants of the Lu family of Fan Yang and the Wen family of Hedong, and is appreciated by the prince. Luo Yang feels that everything will be smooth sailing for him today.
Therefore, after seeing Fang Yizhi, the young and energetic Luo Yang taunted him a few words. He thought it was just a normal thing... After all, for more than a month, his reputation as a domineering person among the younger generation of the aristocratic family was no worse than that of his father Luo Yi.
.
But just when Luo Yi dropped his last few words and was about to turn around and climb the mountain, he noticed something strange in the atmosphere around him.
"plum……"
"Huairen..."
The first person to speak was Lu Chengji, a descendant of Fan Yang's Lu family. He was twenty-three years old and was admitted to the Jinshi Examination in February this year. He was an old acquaintance of Li Shan. He went to Pingkangfang with Li Shan that day.
"Brother Zigou is here too." A faint smile appeared on Li Shan's face, "Remember, we are already married?"
Lu Chengji, who was marrying the daughter of the Bolingcui family, gave a wry smile and glanced at Sao Luoyang from the corner of his eye, "Today is just a coincidence, but I didn't expect...Huairen will come unexpectedly."
The descendants of the Lu family of Fan Yang were not considered prominent during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and were relatively silent among the Five Surnames and Seven Families. One of the reasons for this was Youzhou Luo Yi.
As Luo Yi entered the court and attached himself to the East Palace, under the recommendation of Li Jiancheng, Fan Yang's descendants of the Lu family began to enter the court. Lu Chengji's father, Lu Chisong, the Duke of Gu'an County, became a scholar in the middle school, and Lu Chengji later entered the East Palace to serve as the prince's residence.
people.
Several children of the Fan Yang Lu family on the side saluted one after another. Wen Yanbo's son Wen Ting asked with a smile: "I have heard about Brother Huai's talents for a long time, and today I want to see him in action."
Li Shan smiled softly, but before he could speak, Luo Yang, who looked unhappy, shouted: "Are you Li Shan?"
"shut up!"
"How brave!"
The scoldings from several people made Luo Yang's face turn livid. The young man glared at Li Shan fiercely, "If you have the guts, don't leave later!"
A smile appeared on Li Shan's lips. Why does this person look like a junior high school student... He has the guts not to leave after school!
"Brother Huairen has been granted the title of Duke of Guantao County. You have no name, no hope, and no official career. You can't kneel down and worship." Fang Yizhi sneered and said, "Yunyang Luo family has such a family tradition!"
Hey, he will fight back when he gets the chance... Li Shan thought to himself, Fang Yizhi is really not like his father Fang Xuanling, the fussy old silver coin, but he is a bit like Du Ruhui, who is too clear-cut between black and white.
However, the effect of this sentence was very good. He pointed at his nose and scolded you for not having a tutor... Luo Yang's nostrils were enlarged and he was already ready to pounce.
Looking at Lu Chengji who was holding Luo Yang tightly, Li Shanwen smiled softly and said: "Today I will listen to Brother Zigou's masterpiece."
The smile on Lu Chengji's face became increasingly bitter. Facing a talented man who wrote "Spring River Flowers on a Moonlit Night", he knew that his chances of winning were almost impossible.
This blind date has been planned for more than a month, but Li Shan has been closing the door to thank guests... No one expected that Li Shan would suddenly appear in Furong Garden.
Looking at the people who were pushing and pulling on the mountain, Fang Yizhi sneered: "Even if he has some good words, does he have the nerve to admit it?"
Well, everyone understands this sentence... Luo Yang didn't have that ability, but Lu Chengji did... His father, Lu Chisong, was a famous scholar famous for his poetry and prose, and was once known as the "Badou Lulang".
In other words, Lu Chengji, Wen Ting, Wen Zhen and others are the ghostwriters of Luo Yang and Luo Shou.
People in the audience were talking like this, and the smile on Li Shan's face was a little stiff... Well, you are just out of luck. Your plagiarism has been found, and I...
Almost two quarters of an hour later, they were summoned. Li Kai, Wang Renbiao, Li Shan, Zhang Wenguan, Fang Yizhi, and Yang Siyi started to climb the mountain.
Among them, Yang Siyi is already married, and is married to the daughter of the Xue family in Hedong. Wang Renbiao is in a worse situation. He was accused by his aunt of marrying the merchant girl Li. The other four are unmarried... Of course, the most important one is the Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi.
His younger brother Li Kai, the others are just foils.
Li Shan pulled Zhang Wenguan behind and looked directly at the pavilion that was visible in the distance, as well as the women and young ladies sitting on the couches on both sides of the pavilion... He needed to make sure whether his guess was correct?
"The first one on the left is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the niece of the Crown Princess." Zhang Wenguan said in detail, "The second one is the Li family in Zhaojun, the granddaughter of Li Shousu, one of the eighteen bachelors..."
"The first one on the right is Fan Yanglu's daughter, and the second one is my cousin..."
Li Shan listened silently and intently until he stopped in front of the pavilion and sighed slightly. The Crown Princess, Princess Qin, and Princess Qi were sitting in their seats. There were eight families sitting on the couches on both sides. They were all daughters of seven families with five surnames. Among them
There are two members of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Although there are children from seven families with five surnames such as Lu Chengji and Li Kai who climb mountains today, most of them are children from lower-level aristocratic families, and even children from Jiangnan and Lingnan aristocratic families who are not very famous or whose political status is not prominent... And
All the noble ladies on the mountain are from five surnames and seven families.
Others may not be able to see it, but the time traveler Li Shan can be sure that this is no accident.
The clan system originated in the Han Dynasty and took shape in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it reached its peak in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The status of the five surnames and seven families also reached its peak at that time... although it flourished and declined later.
The reason is that, on the one hand, thanks to the imperial examination system, for a long time, the court did not close the promotion path for poor scholars, but at the same time, it was also more conducive for the children of well-established families to successfully become officials, and the sense of crisis could often be transformed into
Motivation makes it difficult for children from poor families to compete with children from aristocratic families.
On the other hand, it was due to the various tricks of the Li Tang royal family... Just like a spring, if it cannot be broken, the harder it is pressed, the greater the rebound force.
Li Shimin ordered his wife and uncle Gao Shilian to preside over the revision of the "Chronicles of the Clan", but the Boling Cui family was still the first family in the world, and the Shandong gentry was still a prominent family in the country. Although Li Shimin forced the royal family to take the lead, followed by his relatives, seven families with five surnames were listed
The third level, but in fact, the imperial power must be used to coerce, which in itself means that the five surnames and seven families are highly prestigious.
Moreover, while the Li and Tang royal families classified the five surnames and seven families as the third class, they also called themselves the Li family of Longxi.
This kind of arrogance was not limited to Li Shimin, but his son Li Zhi was even more arrogant. He actually made it a legal form not to allow the five surnames and seven families to marry on their own, which was the so-called marriage prohibition edict... But it was of no use, and it only made it even more elevated.
The reputation of the five surnames and seven families.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, seven families with five surnames, relying on their family prestige, were ashamed to marry other surnames, and carried out internal intermarriage arrogantly for a long time.
Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty asked the prince to marry a daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang. The family would rather marry their granddaughter to a ninth-grade official who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.
Prime Minister Xue Yuanchao, who was born in the Xue family in Hedong, had three major regrets in his life. One was that he failed to pass the imperial examination, the other was that he failed to compile the history of the country, and the third was that he failed to marry a daughter from a family with five surnames and seven families.
In the early Tang Dynasty, similar things were not so absolute. For example, Li Jiancheng's princess was a typical example. Later, Li Zhi's queen was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, but marriages within the five surnames and seven families tended to become the norm...for example, Cui Xin
When choosing a son-in-law, Ling Jing once told Li Shan that except for him, the other candidates were all descendants of the five surnames and seven families.
Therefore, today's blind date has political implications... Li Yuan hopes that through this blind date, he will more or less break the normal pattern of internal marriages between five surnames and seven families.
Li Shan was not very optimistic about this... This method would probably have about the same effect as his son's revision of the "Chronicles of the Clan" and his grandson's edict banning marriage.
One by one, the six people saluted the Crown Princess and others in the pavilion.
When Li Shan stood up, someone suddenly said from the side: "Li Shan from Dongshan, who are his father and ancestors?"
Countless lines of sight came together. Li Shan slowly turned around, glanced at the couches on the left and right, smiled a few times, then looked at Luo Shou, who was squinting, and said: "I should take the fame of my father and ancestors myself."
After taking medicine, I got a little better. I went to the drugstore twice and bought more than 300 yuan, but it didn't work. I also tried ginger and garlic, but it didn't work. In the end, I went to the hospital, registered for a film and prescribed medicine. I paid three yuan myself and got medical insurance.
I paid 150 by card... If I had known better, I should have gone to the hospital from the beginning.
