"Old Zhang, it's not that I'm harsh, but that's the daughter of King Zhongshan!"
"It's not that I look down on my nephew, but... with the status of Princess Zhaoyang, I'm afraid he will only be betrothed to members of the royal family."
In fact, the truth can be even worse: Zhang Han is not worthy of Princess Zhaoyang at all.
We must be self-aware as a human being. Zhang Han's reputation before the review was not necessarily good, but at least he was a deviant, and at worst, even unfilial.
Now, just because you are second in the essay examination, you want to rub it against Princess Zhaoyang... Li Zhufeng really can't even think about it!
But if you think so, saying it is another matter.
After all, he is a big brother who came from the same village, and they have fought together on the battlefield for so many years. If Zhang Xun really wants to persist, the Wuling Marquis Mansion will still fully support him.
It's time to take care of things, it's time to use connections and connections, at least give our nephew a chance, right?
Hearing this, Zhang Xun smiled, shook his head and said, "Old Li, I dare to say these things, so it's certainly not an unreasonable achievement."
"To tell you the truth, King Zhongshan felt that Princess Zhaoyang had reached the marriageable age, so he secretly sent someone to send the princess back to Qiandu City."
"Please ask Your Majesty to choose a good son-in-law for me."
"And he also secretly named him, not to marry anyone from the royal family!"
"Why... why don't you marry the royal family?" Li Zhufeng frowned slightly. He also knew about Princess Zhaoyang's return to Qiandu, but the matter of choosing a son-in-law and not marrying the royal family was...
I don't know.
After all, Zhang Xun is a Duke, so it is normal for him to be better informed than him.
"The son-in-law chosen by King Zhongshan for Princess Zhaoyang must be an outstanding one among men!"
"Among the royal family members, the only ones with such ability are the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
"The prince doesn't care about it for the time being. He concentrates on studying the military formations and has no intention of choosing a concubine."
"As for His Royal Highness Prince Jing, he is already married. Princess Jing is also from a famous and wealthy family, and she is orthodox. No matter how prominent and noble Princess Zhaoyang is, if she marries her, she will probably only be a concubine.
"
"How can these children of the King of Zhongshan be concubines?"
"So, when choosing a son-in-law, it is natural to select the royal family's children."
"Just think about it, apart from the royal family, there are only aristocratic families and us nobles left."
"Those people from aristocratic families consider themselves scholars, and most of them are civil servants. Is it inappropriate for the daughter of the King of Zhongshan to marry a civil servant?"
"After all the choices, the choice of son-in-law will still fall on our nobles!"
"In this case, Han'er is not bad among the nobles in Qiandu City, why can't he give it a try?"
Zhang Xun would have never dared to say this before the proofreading, but finishing second in the literary test did give him a lot of confidence.
In that case...why not be bolder?
Li Zhufeng was also stunned for a while after hearing this, and in the end he could only nod his head enviously: "My nephew Han is really lucky!"
"If this matter really comes to fruition, I, the Marquis of Wuling Mansion, will definitely give my full support."
"I just don't know which girl I can marry in Changkong."
Li Zhufeng sighed and became more and more envious of Zhang Xun.
Although he promised his wife that he would let Li Changkong live a peaceful and happy life.
But getting married and having children is a big deal after all!
It doesn't matter whether you make a name for yourself or not, but can you still get married?
It's just that Li Changkong has become "famous" in recent years. Not to mention marrying a well-matched woman, even whether he can marry him or not remains to be discussed.
As a father, can he not be anxious?
Zhang Xun saw his good brother's troubles, waved his hand, and said, "Old Li, I'm not telling you, you have a problem in teaching your children!"
"You have to beat this kid!"
"As the old saying goes, if you don't attack, you can't achieve anything!"
"Look at that little bastard Zhang Han, wasn't he just made into a weapon for me?"
"In this way, after a while, I will go find a matchmaker and try my best to arrange a marriage for Changkong with a well-matched family."
"But before that, you have to clean up Changkong. If you don't do what you did before, I'm afraid the girl will regret the engagement if she sees you."
Was it really you who made Zhang Han a slave? The corners of Li Zhufeng's mouth twitched.
He thought to Zhang Han over the years, you have taken care of a lot of martial arts matters, but isn't it all about people's self-awareness?
It's good if you don't make sarcastic comments around me, why do you have to say it's your own fault?
If Zhang Xun had said these things in the past, it would have been impossible for him to believe it.
But now...there is an example of someone who came second in the literary test, and I can't help but believe it.
But he still felt sorry for his son and hesitated: "I promised Xin'er that I would take good care of Changkong. How could I do this?"
"This thing is easy to handle!" After hearing this, Zhang Xun stood up and said, "You can't do it, but I can do it!"
"To be honest, I have long been dissatisfied with Changkong's careless appearance."
"If you can trust me, let Changkong live in my house for a month. When he comes back from custody, he will look like a new person!"
"This... our friendship can change lives on the battlefield, so naturally I won't be able to distrust you."
"But this child Changkong lost his mother because of urination, and he is also frail and in poor health. If you strike too hard, his body and bones may not be able to withstand it."
Hearing this, Zhang Xun not only did not feel discouraged, but his eyes lit up.
He knew that Li Zhufeng was already on the verge of collapse. As long as he worked harder, this matter would probably be settled today.
After all, with Li Changkong's current status and reputation, it would be quite difficult for him to marry a better wife.
Even if Li Zhufeng dotes on him, he is still vague about marrying a wife and having children.
However, before Zhang Xun could continue to persuade, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the door.
When Zhang Xun heard this, he immediately frowned. What kind of wedding or wedding was being held? He could beat the gong and knock it in front of the Wuling Marquis Mansion.
These people must not be so outrageous. They are trying to catch Lao Li and bully them!
Just when he was about to get angry, he heard the sound of gongs and drums stopping directly at the door of Wulinghou Mansion, and then a loud sound of good news came from outside the door.
"Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Li!"
"Your master ranked first in the literary test of high school, and the Holy Spirit has given you a golden inkstone!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt falling in the main hall, making the two of them shocked.
It was Butler Yang who calmed down first, and with incredible emotion, he opened the door of Wulinghou Mansion with trembling hands. He saw that standing outside the door was indeed the eunuch serving in the palace.
This kind of eunuch generally does not have a high status in the palace, and is mostly used to deliver messages.
But no matter how low his status is, he is still a member of the palace. If others dare to pretend to be someone else, they are probably getting tired of living.
