Volume 1 Chapter 12
Marrying a Pan family man, there are fields, rice and water.
He married the daughter of He and added more people.
Zhang Zhen expressed her recognition of Yang Cong through this couplet. Even if this blind date is successful, of course, whether this marriage can be accomplished in the end depends on the results of this imperial examination.
If Yang Cong can be smooth sailing and be on the list of gold, then this marriage will be a foregone conclusion.
If Yang Cong did not do well in the exam and failed the provincial examination, then there is a very likely no hope for this marriage.
The result of this blind date really made Yang Cong laugh and cry.
It wouldn't be enough to say that he hates Zhang Zhen. From this blind date, he can see that Zhang Zhen is a typical lady of a noble family, gentle and considerate, and her beautiful appearance is really a rare match.
The problem is that he already has Lu Ling'er, and Lu Ling'er's family background is among the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, men can have three wives and four concubines. As long as you have the ability, you can marry ten or eight. Question: Lu Ling'er and Zhang Zhen are not ordinary people's daughters. Can he marry them at the same time?
This problem is really a headache.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to face this problem now, at least he doesn't have to face it before the end of this test.
Whether it is Lu Ling'er or Zhang Zhen, he must get good grades before he can marry. If he fails the provincial examination, he basically doesn't have to think about anything.
Therefore, he did not worry too much about the result of this blind date. After returning to the Yang Mansion, he still studied the "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" with Wang Xuan and Yu Dayou as before.
He wanted to "turn a blind eye to the things outside the window and only read the books of sages." Unfortunately, this kind of mundane thing is complicated, and some people and some things will always come to you unexpectedly.
A few days after he returned from the blind date, someone came to him again.
However, the person who came here this time was not him, but Yu Dayou.
Yu Dayou ran out to chat with the person who came for a while and then came back with a embarrassed look on his face. It was obvious that there was something at home.
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but worry: "Brother Zhifu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "No, my family is in good condition."
fine?
Do you look like you're fine?
Yang Cong said solemnly: "Brother Zhifu, you and I are as close as brothers, what can I say?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou still said hesitantly: "It's really nothing."
Seeing him like this, Yang Cong couldn't help asking, "It's really okay?"
Yu Dayou dodged slightly and said, "It's really okay."
What exactly happened?
The more Yu Dayou didn't say it, the more worried Yang Cong was. He couldn't help but blame him: "Brother Zhifu, this is your fault. What's the matter? Why did you hide it from me? You should also know that in this Quanzhou Prefecture, there is basically nothing that I can't handle."
After hearing this, Yu Dayou hesitated for a moment before saying embarrassedly: "Qingfeng, it's nothing, it's just my mother who asked me to go back for a blind date."
He was so fainted that he couldn't handle this matter. He couldn't go on a blind date for others!
Yang Cong smiled awkwardly, then patted Yu Dayou's shoulder and said, "This is a good thing, why are you rude? Go quickly. However, I really can't help with this. You have to rely on yourself to get married, hahahaha."
Seeing him like this, Yu Dayou couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Oh, Qingfeng, you don't know. My mother means that after the kimono, I'll get married soon. I'm still going to prepare for the provincial examination. How can I get married?"
So that's how it is.
This is indeed a bit troublesome. Generally, you have to work hard for a few months when getting married, and newlyweds usually have to get tired of it for several months. In addition, the time to go to Jinling to take the exam is gone for half a year. How can you study and prepare for the exam?
However, Yu Dayou is indeed a little older. It seems that he is thirty this year. This age is nothing in the future. However, it is really scary to not get married at the age of thirty. To put it bluntly, if he got married early, he would be a grandfather at the age of thirty!
Yang Cong frowned and pondered for a while, then patted his shoulder and said, "How about you go back and have a look first. If you are afraid of delaying the provincial examination, it would be better to decide the marriage first."
Yu Dayou didn't know if he really didn't care much about getting married, or he wanted to work hard and get a good fortune first. In short, he was not very interested in blind dates. Yang Cong tried to persuade him for a long time before he hesitated to go back.
His attitude is not surprising at all. Although there is no clear record of when Yu Dayou got married in history, it records the deeds of his son Yu Zigao.
Historical materials clearly record that Yu Zigao was a Wu Jinshi in the 37th year of Wanli, and also led his army to participate in the battle with the Dutch in the fourth year of Tianqi, and won the Penghu victory.
Based on this analysis, Yu Dayou got married and had children a little late, because Yu Dayou was born in the 16th year of Hongzhi, that is, 1503 AD, and the fourth year of Tianqi was 1624 AD, which was 121 years apart.
In other words, even if Yu Zigao is still strong and can still lead his army to fight the Dutch in his sixties, he was born in the late Jiajing and even the Longqing period. At that time, Yu Dayou was already in his fifties and almost sixty!
It is conceivable that his son, who was nearly sixty years old, was late for marriage.
In short, Yu Dayou really doesn't care much about getting married. He really doesn't want to go on a blind date. He asks Yang Cong not to persuade him with all his heart, but he really won't go back.
Yang Cong was really ready to study hard and strive for the title of the Golden List, but this matter always came to him, making him unable to concentrate. Not two days after seeing Yu Dayou go, Yang Jinfeng sneaked over to find him again.
It turned out that after his second uncle Yang Yun was silent for so long, he began to contact Chen Wenjie again. This time, Yang Yun informed Chen Wenjie that the Yang family had already engaged to the Zhang family. Once Yang Cong was on the list of gold, he could marry Zhang Zhen, the number one beauty in Hui'an.
This is a fact, and it is definitely not something that can be hidden. Chen Wenjie will know sooner or later, and Yang Cong is too lazy to care about it, so he asked Yang Jinfeng to send the letter.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wenjie replied a few days later, and the content of the reply was abnormal. Chen Wenjie asked Yang Yun a lot of things.
For example, did the eunuch who accompanied Yang Cong to Tong'an last time come to Yang'an with him?
For example, how many guards are Yang Cong?
For example, what is the protection situation in the entire Yang Mansion, how many guards are there, etc.
This guy Chen Wenjie seems to want to do something directly!
Yang Cong had expected this situation, and he was not afraid of Longxi Chen's toughness, because the commander of Yongning Guard Li Xixian is already half his uncle. If he went to ask for help, Li Xixian would definitely not stand by. With thousands of Yongning Guards as his backing, even if Longxi Chen's commander came over to all the pirates.
The problem was too fucked when Chen Wenjie chose it. Now he just wanted to study the "Four Books and Chapters Collection" carefully to deal with the next provincial examination and the imperial examination, but Chen Wenjie chose to do it at this time, which forced him to devote his energy to deal with it.
