Mrs. Xuan was full of bitterness, and no one could talk about it. Today coincided with the arrival of Liang Wang, when mentioning this matter, Lao Xuan didn't have the slightest reservation, and just told her own difficulties in detail.

"Lord Chitose! I just took office, and I'm not yet familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but these important officials of the imperial court came here one after another, asking me to take care of their children so that they can be named on the gold list. This scientific research is no small matter. Since ancient times, Cheating in scientific examinations is a crime that requires decapitation. Moreover, selecting talents for the country is no small matter. As a newcomer, I have no foundation and no connections, but I dare not offend these important officials! But what should I do?" Old Xuan showed a troubled expression.

King Liang frowned when he heard this, "Is there such a thing? These people are too bold. They dare to make a fuss about the scientific examination. It's really audacious! You don't need to pay attention to them, just follow the law strictly. I am worried about offending someone, and if anyone is unwilling, let them come to me! No matter how brave they are, they will not dare to do anything wrong."

After hearing this, Old Xuan was very moved. With the King of Liang as his backing, he could be busy with these complicated affairs with peace of mind.

"Thank you for your support to our Ministry of Rites. After hearing what you said, I can finally do things in accordance with principles with peace of mind." Old Xuan was full of gratitude to King Liang.

"My lord Xuan! You can do it boldly and feel free to come to me if you have any difficulties. Our imperial court in Nuoda lacks this kind of down-to-earth people." Liang Wang's words imperceptibly gave Lao Xuan another bite A reassurance.

Master Xuan observed his words and feelings, and felt that King Liang's visit today was not as simple as chatting. He must have something important to ask him, so he asked understandingly: "Qiantui! How are you recently?"

Liang Wang shook his head helplessly, "I don't have anything to do, but I worry about that kid who plays tricks all day long? This kid is useless! Every day he idles around and doesn't think about making progress. I can't do anything about him! I plan to give him He said that he has a virtuous wife who disciplines him, so that he can calm down. That's right! That day I saw that Ling Qianjin was elegant and virtuous, generous and decent, but I don't know if it is suitable for marriage?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lao Xuan suddenly realized that King Liang came today deliberately for his son's marriage. On that day, he felt that Yuan Yu was staring at Xuan Ya, and he guessed that he must have moved on his daughter. Thoughts.As we all know, this Yuan Yu is a dude who hangs out with the slaves and maids in his house all day long, and messes around everywhere, not doing his job properly, whoever becomes his wife will suffer.Old Xuan was thinking in this way, he was very unwilling, he couldn't push his daughter into the fire pit!But then he thought about it, who is this in front of him?The king of Liang is the emperor's blood brother, the body of the emperor's relatives, and the thousand-year-old Lord who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

He is too powerful, to put it bluntly, it is easy to get what he wants, and now he is trying to negotiate with him, but he thinks highly of himself.How can I not give face to the King of Liang, and once my daughter is married, then my status will no longer be more than the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but I will change suddenly and become a relative of the emperor. In that case, my colleagues will definitely look at me with admiration .I was born in a poor family and had no roots. This high needle to climb up to the king of Liang is naturally within the court, and I can call the wind and rain.No longer have to take into account the emotions of this and that, and be cautious all the time.Where is the daughter?Although she is married to a young man, she still enjoys inexhaustible glory and wealth.Then you can become a human being.

If it wasn't for this matter, how could I climb up to such a prominent person!This seems like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!Once missed, it is too late to regret.

Thinking of this, Lao Xuan hurriedly replied: "Thousands! This girl should be about the same age as Mr. Yuanyu, and she is not yet married!"

King Liang couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, "Well! That's how it is! Then I want to draw a thread and let these two get married. You and I will be in-laws. I don't know what Master Xuan wants?"

Lao Xuan was also very happy in his heart, "Thousands of years! How can we be so high?" He said very modestly.

"This statement is wrong! The gratification of these two feelings is a matter of feelings, and how can it have anything to do with the status! Besides, you and I are a family when we are married. Is there a hierarchy for the court officials? Wouldn’t they be ridiculed by the people of the world? Don’t think too much, since Master Xuan has no objections, then I will choose a good day to marry them.” Liang Wang Xi smiled and said happily.

"Then respect is worse than obedience! Thank you Qiantui for making this matter!" Lao Xuan was naturally overjoyed, this was a great joy for him.

In this way, the two hit it off and reached a consensus, and the two future in-laws also chatted very warmly.

Xuanya and Zhan Rong are together almost every day, and Xuanya has the convenience to order her servants to drive to meet Zhan Rong under the big tree at the entrance of the village.The two cuddled each other, chatted, and read the exquisite books brought by the carriage together. The sweetness was even stronger than before. How much they wished that time could be frozen, and they would stay together forever under the big tree at the entrance of the village, in this hut of love. Stay together.This is what they want to see the most.

"Brother Zhanrong! Let's be husband and wife? I want to take you and your parents to the Shangshu Mansion! To save you from suffering here. Then we can get married as soon as possible and live together." Xuanya said herself Speak out your thoughts without reservation.

"Sister Xuanya! Being with you is what I want most! It's also what I dream of. However, I still think it's the same thing for us to agree. The key still depends on your father's attitude. After all, it's different now than before. , your family is an official family, but what about my family? They are poor people at the bottom of the society. This marriage itself is to be a family match, but our current family background is very different. This big wedding is another It is a major event in your life, therefore, you must first seek your father's opinion. It is better to discuss with him!" Zhan Rong is still quite rational, he did not let happiness go to his head, on the contrary, he already had a premonition of something, It can also be said that this premonition is a bit bad.

After Xuanya heard it, she didn't take it seriously. He felt that her father would fully respect her opinion. After all, the person she chose would spend her whole life with herself, not with her father.This matter of knowing whether the marriage is cold or warm can only be decided by the two lovers.She felt that Zhan Rong was a little indecisive, so she said angrily: "Do you not like me? Why do you always find some reasons for this and that? I told you, we are talking about love , It’s not about family background, you have to tell me what to tell you to believe it! How about it! I want you to say a word, will you go with me or not?” Xuanya was hot-headed, aggressively demanding Zhan Rong to make a decision.

Zhan Rong had no choice but to nod in agreement.In this way, the two took their parents to the Shangshu Mansion in a carriage.

Xuanya enthusiastically ran back and forth, and found two big houses to settle Zhan Rong and his parents.So they took Zhan Rong's hand, and the two came to the room of their father, Lao Xuan, and saw that his father was reviewing the piles of documents and materials.Very busy.

"Father! Who do you think I brought here?" Xuanya said excitedly to her father.

As soon as Lao Xuan raised her head inadvertently, her heart skipped a beat. What's the reason?When he saw Zhan Rong beside his daughter, he recalled that when he was in the village, his daughter and him were childhood sweethearts, and they were together every day.

The two hit it off very much, and he had thought about it before, when the two were a few years older, he would arrange their marriage.Unexpectedly, he was named on the gold list and took up the post of Minister. This accident completely dispelled his previous thoughts, especially after Liang Wang found him, he had already reached a consensus with Liang Wang, intending to betroth his daughter to Yuan Yu. for wife.The red mouth and white teeth have already agreed.

Now another Zhan Rong came to obstruct him, looking at this poor boy in rags, Lao Xuan hated him from the bottom of his heart.He couldn't just watch this kid ruin his dream of being successful.If I want to make a difference in the imperial court, I have to climb a big tree, as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree!Therefore, this facial expression brought out a bit of displeasure, and he barely dealt with it, "Mmm! It's Zhan Rong!"

Xuanya said happily: "Father! They suffered a lot in that remote village! Our family's conditions are better, so I took them all over."

If Lao Xuan didn't listen, let it go, but when he heard it, he frowned and stopped talking!Keep busy with what you are doing.

For a while, Zhan Rong was left there, but he couldn't get off the stage.He knew that Lao Xuan was no longer the impoverished Xuan Xiucai who made a living by writing, and now he was a high-ranking court official, how could he tolerate this impoverished, ragged old neighbor?Master Xuan's attitude is already very clear. His family's silence means that his family is not welcome. It would be too boring to wait until he issued the order to drive away his family.

Thinking of this, Zhan Rong gave a deep salute, and said respectfully: "Uncle Xuan! I came here today for no other purpose than to visit you, not to live here. Now that you have entered the court as an official , everything is fine, so I am relieved! You are busy with business, so I will not bother you here! Farewell!" While speaking, he gave his lover Xuanya a tender look, then turned and left in a hurry.

Now Xuanya was left there.She was a little overwhelmed by this situation, didn't know what to do, she hurriedly chased her out, and stopped her lover Zhan Rong from leaving, but how could she stop it!Zhan Rong has made up his mind to go, and his father has such an attitude, it is really hard to keep him, even though she tried to persuade him to stay again and again to no avail, she can only arrange for servants to prepare carriages and horses and bring the family of three back to the village.

Xuanya kept sending them out of the mansion. Seeing the carriage disappear from sight, Fang returned to the mansion, feeling very annoyed. She secretly complained how her father could treat him like this. Take good care of me!What would people think like this, could it be that after becoming a high-ranking official, he no longer recognizes people, and forgets the old neighbors in the backcountry?The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, because she wanted to talk to her father about it.
