old version

Although Guan Zanglong's decree to bestow marriage has not yet been announced to the world, the identity of the new champion has been announced.

A few days ago, Guan Zanglong had stated that the champion of the new division was the son-in-law of his beloved daughter Guan Qingyao, and he was Guan Zanglong's son-in-law.Now, everyone is just waiting for the decree.

This time Zeguo held the imperial examination, Shang Zihan also sent a lot of people to take the exam, six of them won the first class, and the rest were either in the second class or were eliminated early.The six people who won the first class will be arranged for official positions in a few days. It is extremely difficult for literati with imperial examination backgrounds to climb up if there is no mountain behind them.Those who are rich and powerful in their families should give money, money, and gifts in these few days, because they want to give themselves some good errands.

After Shang Zihan returned to the mansion to rest for half an hour, he ordered Yeling to prepare a car and horses and go to a restaurant in the city.

There is a restaurant named Watchtower in Luoyang City. Watchtower is not an isolated building. It is connected by several pavilions and pavilions.

As soon as Shang Zihan and his party stepped onto the threshold of the watchtower, someone in the building stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Are the guest officials going to the top or staying in the shop?"

"Pillars of trees, mountains and rivers."

Xiao Er, who was still smiling a while ago, suddenly changed his expression, but this expression changed very quickly, if he didn't keep looking at it, he might not be able to see anything. "Guest, the room is ready, please come with me."

Shang Zihan and his party followed Xiao Er upstairs, and led the way down to an extremely elegant wing room.

"Guests please come in."

As soon as Shang Zihan and his party entered, the door of the wing room was closed by Xiao Er.

Shang Zihan looked at the decoration of this wing room, but the most eye-catching thing is the screen that catches the eye first. The ancients also said: "The screen is painted by Zhou Fang, and the blue color is half sold. It leans against the jade window and bends its hair." Female, Fuchen is still jealous of Jiaorao.

The folding screen was finally taken down, and behind the screen appeared six young men with weak crowns.

Seeing Shang Zihan standing at the door, the six people held hands together and said, "I have seen the young master."

"Sit." Shang Zihan raised his foot and took a few steps forward, then replied softly.

"I'm not doing well, please punish me, my master." Even though Shang Zihan didn't mean to blame, the six people were unavoidably worried. This time Zeguo opened Enke, which was an opportunity. Qingyao's son-in-law can also get things done soon, but they are all just top-ranked. If there is no young master around, the position of the number one scholar would have already been given up.

Shang Zihan held the teacup and took a sip, "No problem, please sit down."

After the six people were seated, the waiters in the building patted the team and came to serve the food.

"Everyone has worked hard in Luoyang these days, Zihan respects you." After Shang Zihan finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass. He quickly poured wine for himself, and then drank it in one gulp. "Everyone has been away from home for several years and has done things for me. I will be thankful after the work is done."

"Young Master said, we waited voluntarily."

"Whether it is voluntary or ordered, those who should be rewarded should still be rewarded. Of course, if you do something wrong, you need to be punished. In a few days, your official errands will come down. At that time, we will be colleagues in the DPRK and China. We must not let people Perceived something."

"I will understand, please rest assured, young master."

At the same time, Guan Zanglong, who was far away in the palace, had received a letter from the dark guard, which stated that Shang Zihan was fine.As soon as Guan Zanglong put the note on the candle, a flame burst out and burned it down.

"My son sees my father."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father." When Guan Tingxuan got up, he saw the unburned note, and he was puzzled, "I don't know why the Father summoned the servants?"

"Shang Zihan, what do you think?"

"The champion of the new department? Father, my son thinks that this person has a brilliant literary talent and understands etiquette. From what he said in the palace examination that day, he should also be a person who knows how to advance and retreat." Guan Tingxuan thought carefully, and then said something that he understood clearly.

"Shang Zihan has a good temperament. Although the emperor has given her a marriage with Yao'er, but his ancestral home is Jiangcheng, the father still has some concerns. He also specially sent secret guards to investigate, and the letter was passed on just now. Just arrived."

"Father, did the hidden guards investigate anything?"

"Xuan'er, you are in a hurry."

Guan Tingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Father, what are you talking about?"

"Since three years ago, several Chinese and military ministers of the court proposed marriage for the heirs of the family. In the early years, the father refused because Yao'er was young. Since Yao'er and Ji the year before last, those civil and military ministers began to move around. If it weren't for the father's unwillingness to give up , Yao'er doesn't have a fancy man, I'm afraid he's already married."

"What Yao'er has done this time, I'm afraid he has already moved his heart towards Shang Zihan. If Shang Zihan's identity is true, my minister please give Yao'er and Shang Zihan a marriage."

"You are a considerate brother of the emperor. If Shang Zihan can really do what he said, I will be relieved."

The next day, the palace dispatched imperial guards to escort the father-in-law who passed the decree and the Shang mansion, and Shang Zihan knelt at the front to wait for the content of the decree.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Shangzi, the number one scholar in the new department, is cold and noble, and can be frugal. Submissive, graceful and pure, gentle in nature, obedient in nature, and virtuous in appearance. To be in the boudoir, and Shang Zihan can be said to be made in heaven and earth, in order to become the beauty of a beautiful woman and get a good marriage. All etiquette is up to you The Ministry of Rituals will make arrangements, and choose a good day to get married. Announce it at home and abroad, and the salty envoys will hear about it. I respect this."

"Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Congratulations to the son-in-law and congratulations to the son-in-law."

"Elder-in-law rejoice, a small meaning is not a respect." Shang Zihan said, and Ye Ling, who was behind him, took out a money bag from his sleeve. "Your Majesty is really polite."

"Actually, there is something I want to ask my father-in-law for help."

"My son-in-law, it doesn't matter. As long as it's something our family can do."

"My father-in-law also knows that Zihan grew up in a merchant house, and the etiquette in the palace is also unclear. Now that Zihan is about to marry Her Royal Highness, the etiquette..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, the son-in-law. The palace will arrange for a nanny to teach etiquette."

"So that's the case, but Zihan is worrying too much."

The decree of bestowing the marriage has been communicated, and the father-in-law who delivered the decree will naturally return to the palace earlier to return his order.

After Shang Zihan sent the person away, he casually threw the will to Ye Yu beside him. "Now that we are in the country of Ze, we have to be careful in everything. Ye Yu puts this 'imperial decree' well, so it is better not to let anything go wrong."

"Ye Yu understands."

The father-in-law who delivered the decree had just left the Shang mansion, and the news of the marriage gift pushed Shang Zihan to the eyes of the people in Luoyang City again.

Ye Yu just went out to buy pastries and came back. She listened to three or four versions of the palace test alone. After returning home, she would tell Shang Zihan what she had heard.

After a while, Shang Zihan said with a smile: "The people of Zeguo will think too much, these versions are far from the real situation."

"Son..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be so hesitant."

"My son really wants to become Guan Qingyao's son-in-law. What if Guan Qingyao knows your identity? Guan Zanglong will definitely not let you go."

"Ye Yu, I will handle this matter on my own. If Guan Zanglong finds out unfortunately, I can only advance the plan."

Ye Yu was startled, "Master!"

Although Shang Zihan thought about this when he was in Hangzhou, he didn't think about it deeply. She still had a little confidence in pretending.But thinking about it now, Shang Zihan didn't consider that he would become Guan Zanglong's son-in-law. The status of son-in-law made it easier for Shang Zihan to do things, and also put himself in danger.

As the saying goes, how can you find tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den.The seven-year-long plan cannot be shelved.

"Ye Yu, if Guan Zanglong finds out my identity and puts me in custody. Remember, always discuss with Yeling and the others. Guan Zanglong marches south and threatens my father with my life. Find a chance Shoot me. That's an order."
