The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Shuangyi has turned 20 years old, even if she gets married now, it is considered a late marriage.Her marriage has always been on Zheng Ping's mind, thinking about how to find her a satisfactory husband's family all day long.

Since a few years ago, Zheng Ping has been preparing for it. She asked Shuangyi to practice cooking, and she was also preparing for a dowry. She also personally embroidered silk and embroidered a wedding dress for her—after all, Shuangyi was handicapped. It's not bad to be able to embroider a handkerchief by yourself.

It's just that this object has never been found suitable.

Now this difficult problem was raised by Renzong.

The king of a country wants to match Yun Yanhui's younger sister himself?The people present looked sideways.

Yun Yan was stunned for a moment.

As Renzong said, he also became interested, stood up and took a few steps, "In the past, you didn't want to give you a maid, but you should be willing to find a good husband for your sister, right?"

Yunyan sweated back, "Official, it's not whether I want it, but whether my sister wants it or not. Our family keeps her here today because we want to find a husband-in-law that she is also satisfied with."

Renzong was very confident, "The person I choose must be very good."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Damn, why is Renzong so self-confident? You have no experience in this kind of thing, don't say anything else. Your ex-wife who just divorced was obviously chosen by the deceased queen mother!

Moreover, Yun Yanhui deeply felt that their three views should be somewhat different.At least, Yunyan felt that if Shuangyi married a man who would marry a concubine in the future, he would not be able to bear it.

And if Renzong chooses a particularly good family background, they will not be able to decide whether to marry a concubine in the future.

Yun Yan looked back at Renzong vigilantly: "Then... if you are not satisfied, can you refuse?"

Renzong: "..."

This time it was Renzong's turn to be speechless, how afraid was he of messing up the mandarin ducks?Although the emperor is the king of a country, generally speaking, he would not treat people like animals for random mating, saying that if you want to marry the two of you, you must get married.

In particular, this is still a reward. It is his wisdom to pay attention to the love between the two parties, and the love between husband and wife after marriage.

Renzong nodded more tolerantly, "Yes, but don't worry, you will definitely not be dissatisfied."

"Then I'm relieved." Yun Yan returned cautiously to thank her.

"..." Renzong hated him quite a bit, "I have never seen such a stingy Xie En!"

Yun Yan sneered back, "I haven't seen the world, so don't blame the officials..."

The official family was going to be a matchmaker, and it was for Yun Yanhui's sister. The news spread across a certain circle at the speed of light.

Don't mention it, there are quite a few people who are tempted...

They have already calculated in their minds, first, her family is rich; second, her family is rich; third, her family is rich.

As for learning martial arts?Never mind!

Having money is definitely a good condition when negotiating marriage, it has been the same in ancient and modern times.

Not to mention far away, during the Zhenzong Dynasty decades ago, General Xue Weiji, the left leader of the army, died, and his widow Chai wanted to remarry the prime minister Zhang Qixian.

The descendants of Xue's family were unwilling, thinking that she wanted to take away Xue Weiji's family property, so they sued her to Kaifeng Mansion.

In the end, Mrs. Chai filed a counter-suit, saying that the descendants of the Xue family were instructed by another prime minister, Xiang Minzhong, and the reason was that Xiang Minzhong failed to propose marriage to her.

In the end, the matter went all the way to Yushitai, and the two prime ministers were demoted in the end, which made people watch a bloody drama.

And the two prime ministers wanted to marry Chai simply because she was very rich. The part of the private house money that was found out alone was [-] guan, which was enough to buy thousands of acres of fertile land in a place with such a price in Kaifeng.

Zheng Shuangyi's adoptive mother is also a noble daughter, so she must have been educated, and she has a good relationship with her brothers at home.

Not to mention some businesses that Yun Yanhui has partnered with Daxiangguo Temple, as well as the Shuijingji he opened with the Zheng family, and the jade bamboo shoots he opened for his mother. Just doing things for the government, I don’t know how many rewards and salaries he got. up.

Yun Yan went back to defend her sister personally in front of the official family, expressing that she wanted her to be satisfied, and rejected the person recommended by the official family if she was not satisfied, it was enough to show that he was kind to her sister, and this person was always generous.

What's more, the government is still a matchmaker in person. Is it possible not to give something?

What's even more valuable is that Zheng Feibo, as a cousin, made a fortune along with him. How can he fly together without his brother-in-law?

For a while, I don't know how many people were tempted!

Even the eighth concubine counted her sons one by one and thought about it for a long time, and finally thought about it, except for brother Chu, everyone else who was with Shuang Yi was probably begged for beating.

As for Chu Geer, although he has been beaten... no, he doesn't ask for it, but he is pure-hearted and ascetic every day, and his heart is dedicated to the Buddha.

Therefore, the eighth princess had no choice but to give up, but she was still very keen to inquire about the news to see who got the big cake.

……

That day after Yunyan came out of the palace and brought the news back, Shuangyi immediately widened her eyes when she heard about it, "A matchmaker for me?"

"Yes, yes..." Yun Yanhui was a little afraid that Shuangyi would violently hurt others, and immediately explained, "I asked the official, and he said that he would first look for it, and when he saw something suitable, he would create an opportunity. Let me ask you to go on a blind date... Anyway, my mother is also worried about your marriage, so if you agree, it's just more choices."

Not to mention, the officials are pretty good at routines, and they know how to create opportunities...

Zheng Ping was quite happy, "It's good to have the officials make the decisions. We'll just meet each other. If it happens, it's a good thing."

"...Okay." Shuangyi tried hard to be shy, but still failed, after all, she was influenced by Yun Yanhui since she was a child.

At this moment, she was in a daze. There are millions of people in Bianjing, and the crowd is vast. Can they really find her partner?

Anyway, since Zheng Ping started thinking about it when she was seventeen or eighteen, she hasn't met anyone she's satisfied with yet.

Yun Yan replied: "If Shuangyi finds someone he likes, it's best to say that he can't take concubines, can't go whoring, can't force boys to be born, and his family can't bother Shuangyi, and he can't be too pedantic. I can go back to my mother's house freely..."

Yunyan talked back and found that everyone was looking at her.

Zheng Ping smiled and said: "Brother Yan still loves sister, Ganqing has already planned so many demands."

Shuang Yi also looked at Yun Yanhui with emotion.

Yun Yan replied sadly: "At the same time, in view of the lethality of our Shuang Yi, the man may be injured or even disabled after marriage, and the dowry must be richer at that time, except for those guys who beat you in the past few years. Tens of thousands of medical expenses..."

Everyone: "..."

Shuangyi's originally moved expression was also turned back, and Yunyan was pinched back.

Zheng Ping also wiped her eyes and said, "It's a good thing, how can I say it like this, let me tell you, Shuangyi's pastry is very good, and now there are few people who come to cry and complain about being beaten by Shuangyi."

Yun Yan laughed dryly a few times, unwilling to tell Zheng Ping the truth because no one dares to cry now.

-

Shuangyi's marriage was included in Renzong's memorandum, and Yunyan's return became hot all of a sudden.

In the final analysis, the official family is the matchmaker, but it is their family members who are decisive, and Yun Yanhui's opinion is the most important thing. Haven't I heard that his requirements for the future brother-in-law have been spread?

The request is a bit too much, and the big guys are still discussing this matter in private. Zhao Yunchu once ran into his colleagues in Dali Temple discussing this matter, which was quite lively.

"...Although the dowry of the young lady of the Zheng family must be generous, but the brother-in-law is too difficult to serve. With so many demands, even if they are fulfilled at the beginning, there are too many constraints, and sooner or later the man will be bored."

"That's true, but you know that the dowry is rich. It's still the government's matchmaking. How can one person take up all the good things."

"That's right, it's just a condition. Even if you agree to them all, people still have to pick and choose. There are quite a few people who are willing."

Everyone nodded.

Another person said quietly: "Is it just me who thinks it's okay... The whole family is always similar. If the young lady of the Zheng family is as capable as Mr. Yun Xiaolang, wouldn't it be exciting enough for you to marry one..."

Everyone: "..."

...Damn, why do you think what he said makes sense? !

……

Later Zhao Yunchu went to Yunyan to go home, and in front of his family, he learned this saying meaningfully, and everyone laughed wildly.

Only Yunyan patted her head back, "I always feel that something is weird... Is someone like me who is obsessed with business affairs very popular?"

Xiao Bao smiled and said: "But, if Brother Yan is a woman and doesn't have to go out to work, then it's not business to be intoxicated."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

In an instant, he understood that these days, there are still a few women who have to support their families by themselves. They should put their minds on the family and open up. After all, it is also a feudal society.

...But with the seriousness of a certain person's work, it is not a big deal to change the direction. The people in Dali Temple want to understand this truth.

Zheng Ping stroked Yun Yanhui's shoulder, and said lovingly: "You brother Yan just hasn't found the one you like, if you do, you can see that he puts all his energy into pleasing the one he loves."

On this point, Zheng Ping has great confidence in her son, just look at how much he cares about his family.

Xiaobao was also thoughtful, "Aniang is right, but I don't know when I will be able to watch this excitement..."

Accidentally, he spoke out what was in his heart, always thinking that the scene would be particularly big.

Yun Yan flicked his head back, "Still watching the fun? Be careful, I'll tell you to have some fun first."

——In short, since the news spread, many people have been hanging around in front of Yun Yanhui, hinting to him that he is single and intends to get married in recent years.

As for the object, there are all kinds of objects, from the children of the clan, to the small officials of the government office, and even the neighbors in the street, all have ideas.

Even when Yunyan went back to the editorial office of "Tokyo Daily" that day, Hu Hanlin stopped him and asked, "Brother Yan, I heard that the official family intends to match your elder sister, and now, they are looking at whose children are suitable. Woolen cloth?"

Yun Yan looked at Hu Hanlin vigilantly: "Hu Gong, you are too old, and my family's Shuangyi will not marry a second marriage."

The people in the entire editorial department looked at the proofreading of the original proofreading and the typesetting of the typesetting in an instant.

Hu Hanlin picked up his crutches and hit Yunyan back, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yun Yan backed away with a playful smile, "I'm sorry, there was only a shameless old man who was old enough to be my father to hint..."

Hu Hanlin looked at him angrily, "I was entrusted by someone!"

"Hey, don't tell me if you are entrusted by others, just tell the officials." Yun Yanhui avoided all these tricks, and let the officials do the first pass.

Hu Hanlin looked at him, shook his head, helpless.

Another Hanlin said with a smile: "Brother Yan, why did you bother to go to the official's house? I knew that you have a elder sister who has not left the cabinet. We have so many young talents in the Hanlin Academy. Can't I solve it for you?" ?”

A censor also joined in the fun and said: "The young people in our station are also very good...Nowadays, the talented people from the station and the academy are all practicing in the editorial department, don't you really consider looking for them here?"

"Hahahaha, I don't want to solve it among you," Yunyan said back, stood up, and said to the puzzled editorial staff as she stepped back, "I won't ask my sister to marry an editor and reporter. Every day in the wind and the sun, you always work overtime to waste your brain, and your body is hollowed out by work, so you should harm other people's daughters!"

After speaking, he ran away.
