Xu Jingzong was a little unhappy and wanted to play tricks on me?
You are still a little young.
Turning to look at Fang Jun, he asked: "Since I am my nephew's good friend, I will naturally not hesitate to teach you. It's just that there are very few outstanding young people like these two among the younger generation. I am really envious when I look at it.
, If those unworthy and evil sons in my family can achieve this level of success, I will die in peace."
As he said that, he stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, insisting that Fang Jun express his position.
Fang Jun laughed, but did not answer directly, saying vaguely: "Logically speaking, uncle Shi is here today, but I have something to ask for, and my nephew will definitely not let you down and come back... But you also know that the number of places in the academy
It is limited, but there are many people coveting it, and it is very difficult for my nephew to be caught in the middle..."
Xu Jingzong frowned. If you don't say yes or no, what do you mean?
But seeing Fang Jun turn the topic to General Xin Mao, Wang Xuance and the two of them laughed and said: "These two are my nephew's good friends. They are both outstanding in talent and learning, and their character is steady and diligent. In time, they will definitely rise to the top and become outstanding."
In a few days, my nephew wants to enter the palace, and he and Concubine Yang will beg to act as a matchmaker and propose marriage to the two ladies of your house. I wonder what Uncle Shi's wishes are?"
Xu Jingzong was stunned on the spot.
I'm going around in circles with you, and you're actually targeting my daughter?
General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance opened their mouths wide and were stunned.
There is no problem for the two of them to get married, let alone Fang Jun asking Concubine Yang to be a matchmaker? This is a great honor, and it can be recorded in the family tree for future generations to look up to and honor.
But Xu Jingzong’s daughter...
Xin Maojiang subconsciously wanted to say "A loving mother is here, I dare not make my own decisions" to excuse him, but was secretly pulled back by Wang Xuance, so he had to swallow his words back.
"No way!"
Xu Jingzong was angry at that time: "My eldest daughter has been betrothed to a descendant of the Feng family in Lingnan. Although it is only a verbal promise and no formal etiquette has been written, I have already planned to go to the palace to ask Concubine Yang to approve this marriage. How can I do it all at once?"
A second daughter’s marriage? If this is really the case, how can I have the face to see anyone in the future? It’s absolutely not allowed!”
Xin and Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Jun said leisurely: "Uncle Shi is true to his word and is indeed a role model for us. In this case, my nephew can only lament on behalf of his two friends. He was unable to marry the noble lady and raise the eyebrows. It is really a shame.
They are in bad luck. But don't worry, Uncle Shi, you don't have to move too much about the few young masters from your family entering the academy. At that time, my nephew will ask your Majesty for instructions in person and ask for His Majesty's sanction."
Xu Jingzong's eyes widened.
What's the meaning?
Since you are a popular person in front of His Majesty, why don't you tell me clearly that as long as you don't agree with the people who enter the academy, it will be useless for me to follow anyone?
Mother!
You actually threatened me!
Xu Jingzong's round, fair face turned red with anger. He had always been the only one who had no bottom line to manipulate others. How had he ever been strangled by others like this?
How unreasonable!
Xin and Wang looked at each other. It turned out that Erlang was using the two of us as a raft to reject Xu Jingzong... Although he was reluctant to marry Xu Jingzong's daughter, it was inevitable that he would be used as a shield.
I felt a little disappointed.
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he cursed with his halberd finger and spat: "Fang Er, you bastard, do you think that now that you are favored by His Majesty, you will not take me as an important person? Damn you! I used to follow Your Majesty to conquer the country.
At that time, your son was still nursing in your mother's arms! Now you actually dare to use marriage as an excuse to blatantly prevent my son from entering the academy. Are you worthy of your father's teachings and worthy of His Majesty's trust? His heart is to be punished!
"
Fang Jun leaned his upper body back slightly to avoid Xu Jingzong's spittle. When Xu Jingzong was tired of scolding, he said: "Uncle Shi is not young anymore. Being so angry is very harmful to the body. Now that the world is peaceful, He Qinghai
Yan, it’s time to enjoy your glory and prosperity. If your body is injured, you can’t drink wine, eat delicious food, and play with beautiful women, what fun is there in living?”
Xin and Wang were speechless for a while.
Xu Jingzong has just reached his fifties, and you make it sound like he doesn’t have a few more days to live...
Xu Jingzong glared at Fang Jun bitterly, but surprisingly did not curse again.
He realized that the boy in front of him could not be judged by common sense. He was different from other playboys who were still having fun and enjoying themselves. He was not very old, but his achievements were there, one after another, and he was a hereditary scoundrel.
The title of Duke of the country can also be exchanged.
Let alone criticize yourself, even if you point your nose in your nose and scold yourself, what will happen?
Linghu Defen's old guy Yin Jian is not far away. Now when he sees Fang Jun, he walks around...
This is a real and powerful figure. Not surprisingly, he will still stand at the center of political power in the Tang Dynasty in the next thirty to fifty years.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jingzong did not look at Fang Jun to avoid getting angry. He turned to Xin and Wang, and looked at them intently for a long time, until he looked at them so hard that he suddenly asked: "You two
, how much dowry can you give?"
General Xin Mao: "..."
Wang Xuance: "..."
Please, you are one of the "Eighteen Bachelors" who followed His Majesty to conquer the country back then. Now the "Eighteen Bachelors" are almost dead. You are the only remaining "Qiandi Hero", and you were threatened by a young man.
Instead of thinking about how to fight back, you just bowed your head and surrendered?
And this opening is a "betrothal gift"...how shameless!
The two of them looked at Fang Jun hurriedly, their eyes full of pleading.
elder brother!
We respect you and are willing to go through fire and water for you, but you can't find us such a shameless father-in-law...
If we are related to such a guy, will we still have a good life in the future?
Fang Jun gave the two of them a calm look and said to Xu Jingzong: "There is no gift, only talent and ambition!"
Xu Jingzong's eyelids were twitching, and he wanted to rush forward and strangle the mallet to death.
Aren't you friends?
Can't you spend some money to give your two friends a good appearance and buy some betrothal gifts?
His face was filled with anger, but in his heart he was weighing the truth of Fang Jun's words...
Logically speaking, he absolutely disdains Xin and Wang with their backgrounds. For a family like his, no matter how much they love their daughter, the first consideration when marrying off is political exchange. Can she exchange for political benefits?
interests, that is the top priority.
Of course, it would be better to have more betrothal gifts...
However, for the continuation and promotion of a family, apart from the need to marry off daughters in exchange for political resources, what is more important is whether the men in the family can live up to their expectations.
"Zhenguan Academy" has long been recognized as the birthplace of the future imperial bureaucracy. As long as you can study there, you will have unparalleled connections. Let me ask, one's classmates will be the chief officials of the six ministries in the court and the feudal frontiers in the local area.
A high official, commanding tens of thousands of troops in the army, no matter how bad such a person is, how bad can he be?
If any classmate just pulls it, it will be enough for others to struggle for half their lives!
If there is a little bit more potential, the future will be bright and the success will be smooth...
As long as a few sons can enter the academy, what does it mean to lose two daughters?
What's more, these two young people seem to be of good temperament, smart and capable, and have a close friendship with Fang Jun. Their official resources are quite deep. Given time, they may be able to do something good and help several of their own.
son……
Most importantly, how could he dare to refuse?
With Fang Jun's status and favor before His Majesty, no one can surpass him in the court. When the academy starts classes, he can decide who enters and who leaves.
If he is determined to shut out his sons, even if he kneels before His Majesty and begs, it will be useless.
Even if His Majesty gets his son in because of past friendship, Fang Jun, who holds great power, still has many ways to expel him...
Others may not be able to do this kind of thing, but Fang Jun has absolutely no pressure.
This guy is a stick!
Xu Jingzong said: "A dandy from an aristocratic family wants to marry the jewel of my family. Naturally, he needs a generous gift to show his sincerity. However, young handsome men like these two are full of talents and outstanding abilities. I admire them the most. Just by virtue of
A sincere heart is enough. Since Erlang has invited Concubine Yang to act as a matchmaker, I would like you both to inform your family as soon as possible and prepare for the wedding as soon as possible. I have important matters at home, so I won't accompany you any longer, so I'll take my leave!"
Then he looked at Fang Jun: "I hope Erlang will keep his word!"
Fang Jun said: "Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase it."
Xu Jingzong ignored the dumbfounded Xin and Wang and walked away.
After walking out of the door, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became.
Today I came to ask Fang Jun to do something. Why did I go around in circles and the matter was not done yet, but I sold my daughter?
