Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Guo Zhang marriage
At night, Xi'anmen Street is still brightly lit and bustling with people, and restaurants of all sizes are full of people.
The four people who didn't drink at noon gathered together to drink heavily in the evening. They pooled their money to buy three bottles of high-quality Meishou wine and drank as much as they liked. After three days, they would go their separate ways, and they didn't know when they would see each other again.
Han Yu was appointed as the Fengxian County Lieutenant, while Lu Nan and Xiao Zhenye both stayed in the court. Lu Nan was appointed as the chief registrar of Shaofu Temple, in charge of documents and archives, and Xiao Zhenye was appointed as the school clerk of Chongwen Hall, which is also the librarian.
Xie Changming went to Yuanzhou and served as the registrar of Baiquan County. It is said that Xie Changming was the only one who left Guanzhong.
Lu Nan poured a glass of wine for Xie Changming, and comforted him with Han Yu: "Actually, Yuanzhou is not far away. It is more convenient for Changming to return to Chang'an. Moreover, it is said that the official residence in Yuanzhou is well repaired, and the chief administrator also has three acres of official residence. No,
Like us, we only have a small yard of one acre."
"It doesn't matter to me. I'm thick-skinned and can live well wherever I go. The two of you should try to persuade the man next to you to see how worried he is." Xie Changming glanced at Xiao Zhenye and said.
Xiao Zhenye was not in a good mood and had been depressed tonight. He was assigned to Chongwen Hall as the school secretary. There was a famous Qingshui Yamen. Although Xiao Zhenye was cynical about the world, he also valued money and goods.
, he was so preoccupied that he didn't expect that he would be assigned to a Qingshui Yamen, which really made him feel depressed.
Han Yu poured a glass of wine for him and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, it's actually very good to stay in Beijing. Anyway, it's all about qualifications. As you said before, I did a lot of hard work in the beginning, and all the credit goes to the county magistrate."
Yes, in Chongwen Hall you have the same qualifications, things are easy, and you don’t have to suffer.”
Lu Nan also advised: "Anyway, I won't stay in Chongwen Hall forever. This is a good start. It's relatively leisurely. If you have your own time, Brother Xiao will be able to develop in literature."
Xiao Zhenye sighed and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I can only think a little more."
Xie Changming held the wine cup, put his arm around his shoulders and said: "What they said is not accurate and they did not hit the point. Let me tell you, the real advantage of being an official in Chang'an is that it is easier to establish connections. Everyone wants to stay in the capital. The purpose
This is it.
Those high-ranking officials have to go to Chongwen Library to borrow books. You have to deal with high-ranking officials almost every day. If you have a good relationship, you are still worried that there will be no future. As for the income being lower, it is not a problem. Your Xiao family still lacks this little money? "
It was Xie Changming who knew his old friend. He persuaded Xiao Zhenye to relax his brows with just a few words. It was indeed true that as an official in the capital, establishing connections was the most important thing. After working for a few years, he could also be recommended by senior officials to go to the capital.
Being appointed as county magistrate in a local area is not necessarily any worse than others.
As for money, he was not too worried. His father told him to be a good official and not to take part in corruption. The family gave him thirty guan of monthly subsidy for his social contacts.
"Come! Let me toast you all and wish my old friends, Lu Xiandi and Han Xiandi all the best and an early promotion."
The four of them raised their glasses together and toasted to their respective futures.
Three days later, Han Yu and Xie Changming left Chang'an under the farewell of everyone, and went to Fengxian County and Baiquan County to take up their posts, starting their new life journey.
...........
At this time, Jin Wang Guo Song was still on his way back to Chang'an. After the negotiation with Tian Yue, Guo Song went to Yunzhou for inspection before returning to Chang'an.
Although Guo Song was not in Chang'an, a big event happened in the Guo family. Guo Song's eldest sister Guo Ping was going to marry the Zhang family. Zhang Lei intended to marry his eldest daughter Zhang Yu'er to Guo Ping's son Zhou Junyu.
Zhou Junyu is currently receiving training at the Yanwu Hall. The Yanwu Hall is the military academy of the Jin Dynasty. It was previously in Taiyuan and moved from Taiyuan to Chang'an Bashang in November last year. Zhou Junyu is twenty years old this year and is now an outstanding student of the Yanwu Hall. Next year
In the spring, he will formally join the army and serve as a school captain.
Zhang Lei's eldest daughter Zhang Yu'er is also nineteen years old. Li Wenyu has been making arrangements for her daughter's marriage. There are many wealthy businessmen who came to propose marriage, but Zhang Lei rejected them all. Just kidding, how can his precious daughter marry again?
The son of a merchant.
Many things are also fate. Zhou Junyu went home to visit relatives ten days ago. He was helping his mother carry wine jars in the wine shop. Li Wenyu, who came to visit for a chat, took a fancy to him. The boy was tall and brave, filial to his mother, loved his sister, and could endure hardships.
He is hardworking and has no air of dandy about him.
Zhang Lei didn't object this time. This was his junior brother's nephew! He was definitely not comparable to those businessmen's children.
With her husband's acquiescence, Li Wenyu went to Guo Ping to talk about the matter. Of course, Guo Ping agreed. She knew Zhang Yu'er very well. She also liked Zhang Yu'er's virtuous and sensible nature, and Zhang Yu'er was very handsome.
She has fair skin, much like her mother. However, the marriage between the Guo and Zhang families was not decided by them. The key was Guo Song's consent.
In the palace of King Jin, Princess Xue Tao smiled at Li Wenyu and said: "Speaking of it, this should be a good thing. I believe King Jin will not object, but I think the key is that they have to be willing. Do you know the attitudes of the two of them?
"
Li Wenyu also smiled and said: "They have met before. Our two families sat down together to have dinner specially to give the two children a chance to meet. I heard from Mingzhu afterwards that Yu'er was quite satisfied with Jun Yu and felt very good."
"What about Jun Yu's attitude?"
Li Wenyu smiled bitterly and said: "Jun Yu said that he has no career now and is not qualified to start a family. His mother scolded him severely."
Xue Tao thought for a while and asked: "Is this child unwilling and looking for excuses?"
Li Wenyu shook his head, "Probably not. He himself admitted that he likes Yu'er. He just feels that he has not accomplished anything and has never even been on the battlefield. He is about to get married. He feels that it is a little too early."
Xue Tao pondered for a moment and said: "He is probably worried that getting a family too early will drag down his career!"
"That's probably what he means. He wants Yu'er to wait for him for a few years, but Yu'er is already nineteen years old, and his age can't afford to delay him!"
Speaking of this, Li Wenyu sighed and said: "My boss Zhang means to let King Jin have a talk with Jun Yu to dispel Jun Yu's concerns."
"Want to hear my thoughts?" Xue Tao smiled.
Of course, Li Wenyu knew that King Jin would not pay too much attention to this matter, but Xue Tao's attitude was the most critical.
"I'm here to talk to you today, and of course I want to listen to your opinion."
Xue Tao said slowly: "I also think it's a little early for Jun Yu to get married at the age of twenty, but I agree to this marriage. What I mean is that if the two of them get engaged first, the marriage can be completed.
Before the wedding, the financial gifts and betrothal gifts from both parties can be completed first. In this way, they are an unmarried couple. Yu'er has a lifelong trust, and Jun Yu has a responsibility on his shoulders. In two or three years, they will be officially married.
Getting married, what do Wen Yu think?"
Li Wenyu thought for a while and said: "Zhang Lei must agree with this plan. He shouts every day that his daughter is still young, so why is she so anxious to get married? He wishes that his daughter would never marry and stay with him."
Xue Tao smiled and said: "Senior Brother Zhang loves Hu Tou more, right? In my memory, he never takes his daughter seriously."
"You're right, that damn fat guy is just pretending. Because there is no son-in-law he likes, he uses this as a shield. When I mentioned Jun Yu, his eyes clearly lit up, and he wished his daughter would get married as soon as possible.
, but he wanted to save face and boasted that he didn’t want to marry his daughter.”
Xue Tao smiled slightly and said: "This matter can allow the two young people to spend more time together. Don't interfere. Let Jun Yu take Yu'er out to play. If you feel embarrassed, take Mingzhu with you. You let them make their own decisions.
, Back then, didn’t you and your senior brother decide on your own marriage?”
Li Wenyu said bitterly: "Don't mention it, I was deceived by that damn fat man. He sang to make me happy every day. When we got married, he never sang a song again."
Xue Tao couldn't help but laugh. The two couples had been fighting and fighting all their lives, but their relationship was very deep.
At this time, Li Wenyu asked curiously: "When will Caichun come in?"
"It should be soon! This time His Highness comes back, I plan to talk to him about this matter and finalize it."
"Do you want to take care of it?" Li Wenyu asked again.
Xue Tao shook his head, "I don't want to make this matter public, try to keep it low-key, hold a simple ceremony, and invite you and the eldest sister to come and witness it. Although she is a little wronged, there is no way. I can compensate her in other ways in the future!"
Li Wenyu also understood Xue Tao's concerns. Her husband also told her that all the major families wanted to put their daughters into King Jin's harem, but they never had the chance. Once the news about King Jin's concubinage spread, it would definitely arouse the thoughts of many people. They
The family will become a power struggle, which is something Xue Tao never wants to see.
