Chapter 1149 Marriage (Part 2)

"It's not that you're picking on the Zhu family, that's you dissatisfied with Miss Zhu family? Just say anything, it's all your lifelong affairs. No one will force you, so you should focus on your preferences." Cao Yong knew that this adopted son had an idea and would not be aimless, so he asked bluntly.

Zuo Cheng was stunned. Marriage events have always been the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Cao Yong is not his biological father, but he is better than his biological father, so he is qualified to make decisions for his marriage.

When Cao Yong saw him stunned, he thought of Cao Song. When Cao Xiang and the others were young, he felt soft and pointed to the chair next to him, and said to Zuo Cheng: "Sit down and talk. What kind of wife do you want to find, or someone in your heart, and which girl you like? Tell me the truth. As long as your family is innocent and have good character, I will ask your mother and your adopted mother to see you!"

Zuo Cheng sat against the chair, but his face turned red and shook his head and said, "No, no, there is no one in my son's heart!"

Seeing that his expression was not as fake, Cao Yong thought of it and said, "Oh? Since that's the case, do you don't like Miss Zhu? But do you think she's too kind?"

Zuo Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not so, the adoptive father..." He paused and said, "My son is worried that his future progress will be slow, making Mr. Zhu regret marrying a daughter, which will affect the friendship between the two families. Instead, his son's crime..."

Cao Yong was a little surprised when he heard what he said.

Cao Yong paid more attention to the children's homework. After all, Zuo Cheng's brothers wanted to go to the imperial examination and become officials.

According to Mr. Feng, Zuo Cheng's eight-legged essays and policy theory have made progress, and the middle and the wrong ones are between two things. Even if you don't take the lead next year, you will have great potential to do if you wait for another three years to exercise.

But it takes a little harder to keep your homework. Although you work hard and diligently, you have made some progress in the eight essays, but it is a bit insufficient. If you can develop some insight and be more lucky, you can barely have hope.

Their brothers are only fifteen next year, and they will only be eighteen until the next provincial examination.

Cao Yong was not in a hurry. In his opinion, it was just right for two brothers to pass the three subjects, and he was twenty-one years old. If he could get the exam three times, he would win if he could. If he couldn't win, he should give up and directly take the six-part writing style.

In the imperial examination, thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge. For example, Cao Xiang and Cao Yun brothers are both Jinshi, half of them are self-tested, and half are luck.

As the population grows, the six ministries become more and more busy, and the number of letters brought by the Beijing yamen is increasing every year. However, the grade is no longer the seventh grade of the past, but it starts from the ninth grade and the eighth grade.

However, you are not afraid of low grades at the beginning. As long as you get started, it is very easy to get promoted.

Mrs. Ning's heir Yongliang started with an eighth-grade pen style, and in two years, she was promoted to the 7th-grade treasurer.

Seeing that Zuo's idiom was vague, Cao Yong said seriously: "What are you worried about?"

Zuo Cheng stood up and said, "My adoptive father, my son had only known that his elder brother had worked hard in his studies. This time he traveled with him and went back and forth, and then he realized that his elder brother was too diligent in his homework. The elder brother knew that he was not talented, so he thought that diligence could make up for his shortcomings. As a result, he survived until the fourth update every day... After this, even a good person could not stand it. The son thought that after the provincial examination next year, he would take the elder brother to take the written test, which would save his elder brother from being obsessed with the imperial examination and endure his body."

In addition to taking some Manchu and Chinese language tests, it also tests everyone's weight.

If relatives and elders are in court, the children will take the exam for writing and postings, which is just a formality. As long as the paper grades are not too bad, they will not be beaten.

But even if you pass the exam, you are only in the eighth grade. If you get to the ninth grade, you will be decent in the eyes of others.

"One code is one code. Can't you pass the juren or a Jinshi, and you can't marry a lady from the Zhu family? If Zhu Hou really cares about fame and fame, just find a juren, wouldn't it be better to be a son-in-law?" Cao Yong said.

Zuo Cheng hesitated and said, "The adoptive father, Zhu Hou, attaches great importance to the imperial examination. Every time he sees a child, he cannot do without the eight-legged essay theory."

If the marriage is mentioned, it is better for others to be, so how could he think about the Yue family’s views on him? But since the Zhu family, who is close to the Cao family, if they are not handled properly and cause resentment from the other party, they will cause trouble for their adoptive father and mother, and Zuo Cheng is not careful.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "He mentioned the eight-legged essay theory, but it was just an elder's examination for juniors. If Zhu Hou was really a pedantic person, with Zhu Ting's knowledge, he would have been ranked first in the Golden List and passed the Jinshi. You are the one who is in the authorities..."

Zuo Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the elders of the two families had a tacit understanding, before Yongliang returned to Beijing, Cao Yong invited Tang Zhiyu to be the major mediator, and proposed marriage to the Zhu family.

Because the children were still young and Zuo Cheng had an unmarried brother, he was not in a hurry to agree on the marriage date. He only made a small decision first. After Zuo Zhu got married, he decided to decide the day when Zuo Cheng married Zhu Shuang'er.

Yongliang was caught off guard by this sudden marriage.

The governor was a major mediator and said that he was the only daughter of the Marquis's house. This marriage was extremely decent.

When he was staying in Qingyuan, he decided on this matter, and he was somewhat respectful to his elder. But he also realized that this marriage was completely the governor's office, and no one came to ask for his opinion, let alone Mrs. Ning in the capital.

It was not until this time that Yongliang realized that Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng "recognized his ancestors" were true, but he had no intention of returning to the clan. Even if he and Mrs. Ning could suppress the Tian family with the righteousness of superiority, there would be a governor and a princess in the back, which was not something they could compete with.

He felt a little complicated, and he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or feel disappointed.

However, he is not a fool, and he understands his identity. Although he is nominally the uncle of the second young master, he is not qualified to point fingers in front of the two of them.

When he got along with his two nephews, he became more kind and kind.

Zuo Zhu, Zuo Chengdu is not a mean person. Yongliang is like this, so the brothers treat this "uncle" very respectfully and kindly.

In the eyes of others, uncle and nephew are happy and have no strangers that have just recognized each other.

When Yongliang returned to Beijing, Zuozhu and Zuocheng were sent to him seriously for several miles before his uncle and nephew "farewell"...

No one else said anything, but Tianyou couldn't see it. Afterwards, he pulled Zuo Cheng and asked, "That person is stupid on the outside and cunning on the inside. I don't believe you didn't see it. Even if you can't avoid it due to the status of relatives, you don't have to make do with it!"

When they grew up together, they were just like their own family. An outsider "uncle" popped up, which made Tianyou feel a little overwhelmed.

"It's just a smile, say a few good words, and you can't fall off a piece of meat. If you offend a villain, you will chew your tongue behind your back and say that we brothers are bullying others, which will affect the reputation of adoptive father." Zuo Chengdao.

When Tianyou heard this, he was surprised and said: "You brothers are not competing for titles with him or property, so he is so unaware of the matter?"

Zuo Cheng hesitated and said, "Just be in case. I heard from the butler that the biggest part of the remaining villages in the Ning family was the dowry of the grandmother. Because the outside family was weak and the children were not in the capital, no one would pursue this makeup field, so he put it in the hands of Mrs. Ning. Perhaps she was guilty, so she kept asking me to live with my elder brother. I guess she was afraid that we would ask for that village."

When Tianyou heard this, he frowned and said, "The Ning family property is fine. There are elders who need to be raised and the heirs and his wife are filial. Your brothers do not lack that amount of money, so they will be cheaper. But if Uncle Ning's biological mother makes up the land, it is Uncle Ning's private property, and they are considered to be your brothers. If they know the right way and return it, will they still have to do this to survive?"

Zuo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although Mrs. Ning is a little confused, Yongliang is a half-clear person. Even if he is greedy, he can still be much clearer in Qingyuan City these days..."

As Zuo Cheng expected, Mrs. Ning couldn't bear to part with the Zhuangzi, but under Yongliang's persuasion, she finally sent Tian Qi to Qingyuan.

When Tian heard that it was his mother-in-law's inheritance, he solemnly accepted it and ordered Zuo Zhu to write a letter to Mrs. Ning and Yongliang to thank him.

After thirty hectares of land, Mrs. Ning and Yongliang were generous, their hearts were hurt.

But within half a month, Yongliang received a summons from the Thirteenth Prince in the yamen.

The answer was answered in front of the king. Although Yongliang was a little nervous, he answered carefully and there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that he was like this, the Thirteenth Prince was quite satisfied and said, "I can't blame Cao Yong for recommending you in the letter. He really has some real talent and knowledge."

When he stepped back, Yongliang felt his feet fluttering and pinched his tiger's mouth hard.

What can I do if I have thirty hectares of land? Even if I sell it at a high price, it will only cost more than 20,000 yuan. Even if others take out these money, they will not be able to get the recommendation of the Governor, and they will reach the threshold of Prime Minister Wang...

When Nalanfussen returned to Beijing, Yongzheng's decree was brought down.

Cao Yong suspected that Yongzheng was accustomed to "killing". In the past six months, the Green Camp has changed drastically. Even if there are only shortcomings, the flaws will not cover up the merits.

But since the emperor said that you have "results", then "competence" is just a mistake. Cao Yong's attitude of "application for guilt" was very sincere. He was young and had a first involvement in military affairs, lacked knowledge, and failed the emperor's grace...

Fortunately, Yongzheng was not confused yet and did not take action on this matter. Instead, he praised him lightly and gave him two baskets of grapes.

As August begins, the weather turns cooler and Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu sent someone to send two carts of festive gifts. From Cao Xiang's letters, Cao Yong learned that Zhao Jia and Jinghui had already started to pack up the house and asked the Dong family to book a boat to the south of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After a hundred days of Tianwang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would take their children south to Jiangning.

Cao Yong had heard Cao Yuan mention this matter, and it was not surprising.

Surprisingly, Cao Fu wrote a private message to Cao Yong, mentioning that after Zhao Jia went south, he wanted to seek a previous foreign position. After inquiring, he happened to know that there were two similar shortcomings, namely the sixth rank magistrate from Shandong and the fifth rank magistrate from Shanxi. Please help me to take a look at it.

Cao Yong was shocked and really didn't understand why Cao Fu had the intention to let go.

This cousin was not very interested in his career, and he was just a job in the six ministries.

What exactly made him change his mind?
