Longyang loves Qin

After recuperating from illness, Ye Yu's life was back on track, but the severance of ties with Li Si suddenly made his life seem empty.

"General?" Duan Guanshi called Ye Yu.

Ye Yu looked at the bullock cart he had someone prepare, but suddenly couldn't remember where he wanted to go a few breaths ago.

He frowned and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Forget it, bring my horse and I'll go to the camp to have a look."

Since you are too free, find something to do for yourself.

In this way, he basically stayed in the army for half a month, but he already had a job on him, so no one else could say anything.

Standing outside the main tent, he looked at a certain group of soldiers who were exercising in the distance. A general came over and followed his gaze, and said, "That's Meng Shuai's eldest grandson, he is a good seedling, but now No chance of promotion."

Ye Yu turned around and walked back to the tent, saying, "There will always be opportunities."

The general was a step too late to follow him, and asked suspiciously, "Are you saying there is going to be a war again?"

"Sooner or later, there will be fights." Although Qin will not fight big battles now, there will always be small battles.

Ye Yu thought about it again, and said to the general: "Meng Tian's performance is not bad, I remember that the hundred general Wang Ben is almost a man, transfer them there, and put Wang Ben and his soldiers under the Chinese army."

The general has no objection, if Meng Tian and Wang Ben's abilities are placed on the battlefield, they will definitely be more than what they are now, and the chances of being transferred to the Chinese army will be higher.

"By the way, why are you looking for me?" Ye Yu knelt down and asked.

The general replied: "Your mansion's servant came to you and said that a distinguished guest has come to your mansion. Please go back. I just happened to see it and came to tell you."

It was the first time that Guanshi Duan sent someone to look for him in the barracks. This distinguished guest must be unusual, and there must be something wrong.

Ye Yu, who had just sat down, looked through the wooden slips on the table, and after confirming that there was nothing important, he stood up and said, "In that case, I'll go back to the mansion first, and if there is anything wrong, someone will inform me."

"No." The general agreed.

The two of them exited the tent together, and Ye Yu ordered the soldiers outside to guard the main tent. Although there was nothing confidential in the tent, he ordered that no one should be allowed to enter.

Riding out of the barracks, he saw his servant anxiously saying: "Feng Chang is here."

Bong Chang?

He was a little puzzled, he thought it was Han Fei and Lu Buwei who came, and even Yan Dan thought of it, but he didn't expect Feng Chang to come to him for something.

He has a little friendship with Fengchang, but not very deep. If he is not in the mansion, he should go away, but if he is waiting for him, there may be something serious.

Fengchang took care of rituals, he thought about it carefully, and the only thing that could be related to Fengchang Temple recently was the previous sacrifice to Weishui, but it has been a month, so it shouldn't be, but he has nothing to do these days.

Hurrying back to the mansion, Fengchang was still waiting for him.

"It's really a coincidence that Fang Caiyu is in the army, so I kept you waiting for so long." He apologized.

"General, don't worry, it's not something urgent." Feng Chang said to him with a smile.

Now that Feng Chang said so, then Ye Yu asked to resign and leave the table for a while, to change the clothes for meeting the guests, and at the same time let people entertain Feng Chang in a good way.

After all, it was obvious that he was in charge of the ceremony, so Ye Yu specially changed into a slightly delicate black robe, and walked out solemnly.

"I don't know if Feng Chang came to find Yu, but what's the matter?" He asked curiously.

Feng Chang smiled kindly: "The general is twenty one this year."

Ye Yu replied, "Indeed."

Feng Chang asked again: "Can you be a matchmaker?"

Ye Yu felt a little bad, but still replied: "My father and mother passed away early, and we haven't made a match yet."

Feng Chang nodded in satisfaction or regret, looked around Ye Yu and said, "If the general is not around, there must always be someone to take care of him."

Ye Yu heard that Feng Chang was here as a matchmaker, he laughed and said, "Yu has no intention of getting married yet."

Feng Chang's expression turned serious, "The general is already twenty-one, and in my country of Qin, a man at twenty is considered to be married. If it is inconvenient to do things because there are no elder relatives in the family, you can also write to the king and invite an official matchmaker."

Ye Yu was stunned.He knows the official media. Simply put, the local officials match up leftover men and women, but he is only 21 years old. According to Zhou etiquette, he will not be accepted by the official media until he is 30 years old.

Immediately afterwards, he understood that because of the loss of the war and the population, the age of marriage for men has been reduced from 30 years old to 20 years old. It's just that he didn't pay attention to the official media at all, so he looks confused now.

Ye Yu, who was originally a good young man, was suddenly told that he had become an older leftover man, and Ye Yu, who was forced to marry, thought for a while before replying: "I still need to ask Yu to think about it carefully. How can you joke about important life events?"

Feng Chang nodded and said: "If it's not because of the sacrifice in February, the general should also go to the Mid-Spring Festival."

The Mid-Spring Meeting, in layman's terms, is a local official's gathering of local leftover men and women to have a group blind date. This is a custom that originated from the Zhou Dynasty.

Forced marriage, blind date.

The history is surprisingly similar, and the routine after a thousand years is still the same.

At the end, Feng Chang sighed regretfully: "The general is young and promising, he is really the best candidate for a good son-in-law, but it's a pity that the old man has no daughter of the right age."

Ye Yu sent Fengchang away with a stiff smile.

Back in the hall again, he sat down with a gray face.

He had vaguely thought about getting married before, but since the age of marriage in the pre-Qin period was much later than the fifteen or sixteen years he thought, he never took it to heart. Unexpectedly, he ended up being urged to marry today.

He has never been in love before, and he doesn't have much longing for love, but he still doesn't accept the behavior of blind marriage and dumb marriage.

"Guan Duan, what about the mid-spring meeting?" He summoned Guan Shi and asked.

Of course Guanshi Duan knew more than him, even though he had never participated in it, he could tell a thing or two, "The men who participated were either like the general who missed their marriage because of the war, or they were the bastards that everyone hated, or People with bad fate. And women, either because of delayed filial piety, or girls without salt and virtue. Furthermore, they are the poor heads of Guizhou who can't afford matchmaker money, bride price, and dowry. Generally speaking, the participants far more than women."

Although it can't be considered a blind marriage, but it was more mixed than he imagined, which made him lose interest all of a sudden.

If Yingzheng invited the official media for the letter, it would be no different from giving a marriage. It sounds nice, but there is no guarantee that he will not marry a princess and go home.

King Qin Zhuangxiang didn't have any daughters, but King Qin Xiaowen still had a few daughters left behind, and he didn't intend to eat soft food, so there was absolutely no need to do so.

In this way, the best way seems to be to see others by yourself?But where can he find a woman he likes in a short time!

After Feng Chang left that day, as if to give some signal to the doctors, those families with girls of the right age sent matchmakers one after another.

Just about to go out, Ye Yu saw a group of matchmakers blocking the door, waved his sleeves angrily, and never went out except to go to court.

Duan Guanshi asked him with a happy face, "General, why did you reject them all?" He was very happy that his master's family was about to get married, which was a great joy.

"Looking upset." He returned.

He can understand the thoughts of those doctors. When he first came to Qin, he was still young, and his achievements were not obvious. Not to mention that no one came to match him. After the locust plague donation, although he was not hostile, everyone can basically guess a little bit of the inside story after the incident, and there must be some complaints in their hearts. Due to Wei Wangxi's influence, it's normal for them to come to the door to talk about matchmaking until now.

It's just that seeing these matchmakers swarming in, he really couldn't arouse any interest, not to mention just listening to those matchmakers, how can he know what kind of woman the other party is?

Hearing what he said, Guanshi Duan had no choice but to go out and send those matchmakers in person. It's not a big deal that the majestic general's mansion is always blocked.

However, not long after, Guanshi Duan came in hesitantly, "General, Xiang Lu and the Gan family also sent a matchmaker." He could still refuse those who were not familiar with him and whose status was lower than Ye Yu's, but these two One is that his status is too high, and the other is that he has a good friendship with Ye Yu, so he can't make the decision.

He was taken aback when he heard Lu Buwei's name, "Ms. Lu has a daughter?" He didn't seem to have noticed this.

Duan Guanshi nodded and said, "I heard from the matchmaker that Fang is thirteen."

Ye Yu frowned suddenly. He could barely accept it at the age of fifteen or sixteen. After all, the marriage age of women is also the same now, but he couldn't accept it at the age of 13.

Because he has passed the age limit, basically he is engaged and will get married soon, he really cannot accept having a bridal chamber with a 13-year-old loli, the guilt is too strong.

Moreover, he still can't guess who Lu Buwei is, and he doesn't want to be Lu Buwei's son-in-law, that would be sending himself to Lu Buwei's mouth.

"Where is the Gan family?" There is a difference between men and women. When he escorted the Gan family, he only knew the number of people, but he didn't know the exact age.

Duan Guanshi thought for a while and said: "The third daughter of the Gan family, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Gan, the cousin of the young concubine, aged sixteen."

Sixteen is acceptable.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then tried his best to recall what this third lady was like.

However, it does not.

Since he is Gan Mao's granddaughter, there must be this third lady among his escorts. As I recalled before, his eyes have never glanced once, let alone the appearance of the third lady.

But I didn't seem to be sick along the way, and my body should be fine.

He is not interested in women who are too delicate, but fortunately, such women are relatively rare in Qin State, and he basically cannot meet them.

Nothing has happened, my personality should be okay, and so is my family, so I won't encounter strange things.

He dug out the memory of that boring journey and pondered it carefully.

It's Gan Mao's granddaughter and Gan Luo's cousin. He already owes them favors, so it's not bad to make this marriage.

"Go and ask the matchmaker from Gan's family to come in." He told the steward.

Steward Duan happily stepped back.
