Chapter 306 Volume C: Poetry and wine take advantage of the years to become more complicated
Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment. He also sensed some tendencies of Master Qiao, and asked cautiously: "Master Qiao's intention...?"
"Didn't you and Lin Ruhai's daughter have an agreement to get married? Originally, I thought that since we were not engaged, the matter could be discussed. However, since you intend to continue it, my teacher originally agreed, but now the situation has changed. You want to Jianzui, what do you think about your uncle's house? Should he let Miss Lin Ruhai inherit the house or marry someone else?"
Qiao Yingjia's question made Feng Ziying unable to answer. To be honest, he had never thought of it being so far away, but it was also a realistic problem before him. The key was that he felt Qiao Yingjia's potential intention, maybe he wanted to talk about marriage with him again. Something happened, and that was exactly what he didn't want to talk about.
"Master Qiao, I haven't thought about this yet. My father's intention is to wait until I am sixteen years old..." Feng Ziying was interrupted by Qiao Yingjia before she could finish her words.
"I know what your father means, but you can get engaged first. If the girl from the Lin family is engaged to your father's house, then your uncle's house also needs a marriage. It turns out that someone has entrusted me to find a suitable marriage. I am a teacher because You and the Lin family have an engagement, so you didn’t mention it, but now I think it’s just right for me to be a teacher..."
Feng Ziying was speechless.
“In addition, I also want to remind you of a situation.” Qiao Yingjia pondered for a moment and then said: “I’m afraid that either in the second half of this year or early next year, the Lianghuai Salt Road may be the focus of inspection by the Metropolitan Procuratorate...”
Feng Ziying's heart trembled, "Master Qiao, what do you mean..."
"Being a teacher has no other meaning. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow. If you are selfless, then someone will target you, and it will not affect the overall situation..."
Qiao Yingjia can only click until it ends, and even this can be regarded as a disguised reminder.
In his opinion, if his disciple sticks to his promise and is unwilling to give up on this marriage, he must think carefully about it. He may have to face and bear the impact if something happens to Yue Fang.
Even though this situation will not involve much involvement of his newly engaged future son-in-law for the time being, if Lin Ruhai is really convicted for this, it will definitely have an impact on Feng Ziying's career in the future.
But equally, if you break your promise and break off this marriage because of this, once Shilin knows about it, the impact on Feng Ziying will be greater and worse. No one will want to deal with you with this kind of character, so this makes Qiao Yingjia also Feeling helpless.
He didn't know that all the connections here were due to the trick Feng Ziying came up with in order to successfully meet him when he was in Dongchang Mansion. In fact, there was no such thing as a promised marriage at all.
But now it is impossible for Feng Ziying to go back on her word on this issue, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on him. Even if it is a lie, it has been several years, why don't you make it clear face to face?
Feng Ziying did not expect this to happen.
In his impression, Lin Ruhai only died of illness in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou to attend the funeral, and even brought back a large sum of money for the Jia family to fill in the holes for the construction of the Grand View Garden. Why is it that now Lin Ruhai may want to Has it become the "key target" of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
How can Jia Lian get back such a large sum of money if he really wants to be the prey targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
Can this Grand View Garden still be built?
Hmm, even Jia Yuanchun’s virtuous concubine is nowhere to be found. Is it because of the huge effect brought by my butterfly wings that everything has changed?
Or was Lin Ruhai's death itself an illusion?
This really failed Feng Ziying.
Ask Qiao Yingjia again, I'm afraid Qiao Yingjia won't reveal anything more. The question is what should I do now?
Feng Ziying felt more and more that the lie she had told was like a shackle that had tightly trapped her, unable to escape, or even sinking deeper and deeper into it.
But the question is, without the shackles of this lie, can I let the Lin family go, no, let the misfortune that may happen to Girl Lin?
Feng Ziying still denied this idea in his heart. Lin Yatou had already occupied a position in his heart, but he himself was not sure whether this position was that of a sister, or whether it might be transformed into the position of his wife in the future.
"Master Qiao, now that the marriage has been confirmed, Ziying has no intention of breaking her promise. Well, it's just that Miss Lin is still young, so she might not be able to get married within three to five years. As for my uncle's room that you mentioned, I wonder if this disciple can know which family entrusted Master Qiao to make a marriage agreement with me?"
The turmoil caused by the uncle's appointment as a marquis has begun to extend from the title itself to himself. There are many people like Qiao Yingjia who have thought about this issue. The title of a marquis must be said to be a title, and the Feng family is the only one, so he must be the same. , then it involves the issue of long-term marriage, which is also very important.
Two marriages, neither one is simple.
Even if we put aside this title, there is a husband or son-in-law who is now a sage who may become an official in the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Hall or even become a prime minister in the future. This is very attractive to any family in the capital city, and they will naturally not let it go. Pass.
Master Qiao probably saw this clearly, and that’s why he couldn’t wait to recruit himself to ask about this matter.
"Well, it's difficult to be a teacher. At least I have received offers from three families. I guess Brother Chengfeng is also worried about this. Fortunately, your father is not in the capital city. Otherwise, I guess the people who come to visit will definitely be able to cross the threshold. ? Ziying, do you know that among the 380 people who passed the imperial examination today, except for you, the other 379 people are either married or engaged, and no one is unmarried? "
Qiao Yingjia's rhetorical question also surprised Feng Ziying. He really hadn't paid attention to this question.
The people around him, not to mention the older people who practice state affairs, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng have been married a long time ago. Even people like Fang Youdu have already been engaged. People like Xu Qixun, Song Shixiang, Fu Zonglong, Chen Qiyu and others have also been engaged for a long time. Chen Qiyu got engaged after passing the imperial examination. Xu Qixun and others will probably return to their hometown to get married this year or next year before returning to study.
"Not sure? Hmm, do you think this Jinshi exam is so easy? Except for the younger disciples in a few of your academies, look at the 380 Jinshi, 90% of whom are over twenty years old." Qiao Yingjia was filled with emotion and pride, "A lot of people didn't expect that you weren't engaged yet, but now that the palace has chosen a concubine, and your uncle has been granted the title of Marquis, everyone has thought that your family might also have a family. , and then I got busy, and my teacher just thought of this..."
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly. Marriage in this era is so realistic and straightforward. It is not her turn to dictate. What does her parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, and the master's intentions mean? A message?
I'm afraid that if I talk to my parents after I go back, they won't have any objections, as long as this marriage is really suitable.
"Well, you know Shen Jiyu, Mr. Shen. He and his teacher are in the same class. They were both Jinshi in the 26th year of Yuanxi. Now he serves as the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in your hometown. Her eldest daughter is beautiful and smart, with unparalleled talents. I have met my teacher before, and you are definitely a match made in heaven..."
As soon as Qiao Yingjia opened his mouth, Feng Ziying was stunned. How could it be such a coincidence?
The daughter of the Shen family? She must be Shen Zizheng's sister.
At one time, I had some admiration, but then due to some strange combination of circumstances, my feelings faded away, and now I am actually connected with him in such a way. This is really amazing.
The other two families are also officials from Beijing, but Feng Ziying didn't even listen carefully. Qiao Yingjia obviously didn't focus on those two families, but focused on "promoting" the Shen family daughter.
Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment before replying: "Master Qiao, this disciple also needs to go back and report this matter to his father and mother, but..."
"But what?" Qiao Yingjia frowned. He felt that his disciple was actually a little reluctant, "The Shen family girl is only two years older than you, and her age is just right. If you get married to her, you can also consider the issue of incense in your family as soon as possible. ,…”
"No, I think the Shen family's poetry and calligraphy are passed down to the family. As Master Qiao said, they are a famous family in Suzhou, South Zhili. Miss Shen is also good at poetry and poetry. But you also know my disciple's situation. I don't understand poetry. The diction is crude and the meaning of the scriptures is shallow..."
Qiao Yingjia was angry and funny, "Ziying, my teacher doesn't know you yet? Even though you are not better than others, you are not to this extent. Why are you afraid of losing your face as a second-level Jinshi in front of others? Husband?" As a wife, if she marries you and you are illiterate, then you are still your husband! You are her king!"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly. What he meant was that there might not be much common language, but in this era, who would tell you whether there is a common language?
Most people have never met each other before marriage. Like me and Lin Yatou, I am afraid that they are thousands of miles apart. After all, I thought wrong.
"Master Qiao said this, and the disciple went back to report to his mother and wrote to his father, but..."
When Feng Ziying opened her mouth, Qiao Yingjia understood: "Master knows that in the final analysis, your parents still have to make the decision. If it doesn't work, Master will not do anything. He just hopes to get an answer as soon as possible. After all, the Shen family girl is not young. , don’t let your side delay and delay others.”
Qiao Yingjia understands that the Feng family must also weigh and compare. It is estimated that the Feng family has also received many inquiries like himself at this time, so the Feng family even wants to inquire about the situation of the Shen family and the Shen family daughters before making calculations. This is all within reason.
