Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Being an official is a science, and without guidance and assistance, it is basically difficult for one person to figure out the inside ways, let alone be able to do a good job as an official.Therefore, almost all officials, especially those without any family background, will hardly have a bright future if they don't survive for ten or eight years.

Among the four great talents, the three who have become officials have some backgrounds, but it has to be said that they are very narrow and unreliable, and they are not very effective.Even Wei Ting cannot follow Hua Dingwu for the rest of his life.But now there are so many influences in the officialdom, it is very difficult to distinguish who to be friendly with.And based on their relationship with Hua Taishi, it is naturally best for the officials who can befriend Hua Taishi to have some communication, but the opportunity is rare.

So it was rare that Taishi Hua specially provided them with such a good opportunity today, and the four of them naturally couldn't and didn't want to give up.However, there are only three hours left before the auspicious time set earlier. It is estimated that it will not be an easy task to run through the twelve mansions and fulfill the requirements put forward by twelve people.So the four of them didn't talk nonsense, got on their horses, and galloped away.

These twelve adults were entrusted by Grand Master Hua, so they were naturally willing to give this face.Moreover, being able to establish a good relationship with the rising stars of Jinyiwei and the three newly promoted officials who are favored by the emperor is also a good business for them.So they were very active in thinking of various requests, and prepared to make the wedding ceremony lively, festive and auspicious.

But from the perspective of the four of them, there is nothing festive and auspicious, but the excitement is really quite lively.

Among the twelve adults are elders and young officials.Everyone has their own preferences, and the requirements are naturally dazzling.Chongwen didn't plan to embarrass the four officials too much, so naturally they gathered friends to come over and recite poems and write poems to fight against Wen, which was considered a fun.Or if you like a few people who are literary, you need to write or draw, and if you are easy to talk to, you will immediately agree.It's okay to pass things like this.Some adults who are skilled in martial arts are a bit difficult to deal with, and Wei Ting, the only one who knows martial arts, almost broke his leg from exhaustion.

Among them, the requirements of several adults are very unique.Master Liu's request was: to catch ten thieves within half an hour.

Knowing this request, Wei Ting almost blushed. Ten thieves can naturally be caught, but within half an hour?Even the mice didn't move out in groups.

Fortunately, the other three helped out with an idea.So Master Wei gave an order, and the guards under Jinyi went all over the street to catch the thieves.This directly led to the bad luck of the thieves who went out today. They were pulled out and tied into twists before they succeeded.

The strength of unity is strong, and the discordant people are quickly caught, counting the heads, um, one less?Huh!There's a sly-eyed guy on the side of the road, it's not a good thing at first glance!brothers!superior!The last one must be caught!

There is also an adult with a weird temper who is also very troublesome. He asks Wei Ting to do ten good deeds.

Where did Wei Ting get the time?But with experience, naturally, it won't waste time.So he gave another order, and the Jinyi guards rushed to help the old woman cross the road, helped the lost children find their parents, taught the robbers a lesson, and one Jinyi guard picked up a handkerchief and returned it to a girl, which made a good relationship.

However, thanks to these nonsensical requests, the four of them showed their faces a lot, and Jin Yiwei's reputation among the people has improved a lot.

It's not that there are no officials who don't hold back, a certain Mr. Fang pulled Wei Ting to persuade his daughter desperately, as if Wei Ting would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it.Wei Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he just begged him to speak out his request earlier, but the adult was not happy, my daughter is not as good as a girl?The four people's scalps were numb, and they said a lot of good things, and the adult finally let go.

When the twelve adults finished running, the faces of the four were stiff with laughter, their legs were limp, and they were so tired that they almost fell to the ground.

And the last Mr. Zhong stroked his beard and looked at the four of them with a smile, and said: "The so-called starting a family and starting a business means that you have already married, so naturally you have to start a business to support the family. Compared with today's small fights, in the future, there will be more and more people." When you're going to be so busy that you're exhausted."

The four of them were taught again, Master Zhong said with a smile, "Since you are here, I will give you the last clue."

Wei Ting immediately regained his energy, Master Zhong said with a smile, "I'll give you a poem: I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place. Well, let's go to greet the bride, haha."

After finishing speaking, Lord Zhong laughed and drove the four of them away.The four of them couldn't ask more details, so they had to ride back to Tang's house.

The four of them were thinking about the meaning of this sentence along the way, Zhu Yunming tapped his head with a fan and asked in a puzzled way: "This poem comes from the "Sapphire Case" written by Layman Jiaxuan (Xin Qiji). The poem is really beautiful, But what does it have to do with welcoming the bride?"

The other three couldn't figure it out either. This poem is quite romantic. Of course, getting married is also a romantic thing.But they are already married, so there is no need for the romance of looking for you alone among thousands of people, right?

Everyone thinks so, so even though I feel a little uneasy, I feel much happier when I think that I will be able to greet my relatives soon.

The entrance of Tang's house was very lively, the woman's dowry had been carried out and placed far away, the musicians were playing and singing, and the Tang's house was deserted in the morning, and now the red lights were hung with red silk pieces, which was extremely festive.

Tang Yin is the older brother, and he is going to marry his younger sister, so he came to the room where Qiuxiang was on time and asked, "Is everything ready?"

Ding came over with a smile: "Okay, come in quickly."

In front of the dressing table, Mrs. Qiu took Qiuxiang's hand and repeatedly told her the details to pay attention to when getting married, constantly reminding Qiuxiang to respect her mother-in-law and elders after marriage, take good care of her husband, and come back often.Qiuxiang's eyes were moist, and she kept nodding her head.Although she is only a foster daughter, the Qiu family treats Qiu Xiang very well. Qiu Xiang is a grateful person, so she naturally reciprocates her love and respect for the Qiu family.The two are not mother and daughter but are better than mother and daughter, which can be regarded as quite fate.

Hearing Tang Yin's voice, the two turned their heads together.

Qiu Xiang was dressed in a festive and beautiful scarlet wedding dress, wearing a pearl and phoenix crown, and a pear blossom and rainy smile on her delicate and soft face.

At this moment, Tang Yin was a little dazed, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made him startled slightly, staring blankly, remembering the flawless smile that a woman showed to him under the plum tree and in front of the Buddhist hall.

Seeing her mother slowly lowering the hijab on her head to cover that hibiscus-like face, she felt a little pain in her heart, but she immediately came back to her senses in the mother's voice, and immediately put the thought away. Forget it.This woman deserves better, he is Tang Yin, he is not worthy of her.

He lifted her up and carried her out the door, and sent her to the sedan chair step by step. After instructing her, he watched Xi Niang put down the curtain.

Tang Yin closed his eyes, you smiled three times, I can't repay you.I only carry this road, and I sincerely wish you a happy life.

As soon as Wei Ting got off his horse, he was immediately dragged to wash and wash. After running around for a day, he looked quite embarrassed.The other three were also exhausted, and each dismounted to find a place to rest for a while.

However, after they came back, they saw a rather surprising scene: Wei Ting, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, stood dumbfounded opposite the Tang family, brothers from the Tang family stood at the door of the Tang family with smiles on their faces, and four bridal sedan chairs lined up. Swing in the middle.

Yes, four, exactly the same four red sedan chairs, and the curtains of each sedan chair have been lifted, and it can be clearly seen that there is a bride sitting in each sedan chair.With the hijab covering his face, and sitting in the sedan chair wearing a loose wedding dress, he couldn't tell if he was tall, short, fat, or thin.

Wei Ting was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to react.It is impossible for all four brides to be Qiuxiang, right?Which one will he marry?

Wei Ting was very aggrieved and turned to the three of them for help. He didn't ask the Tang brothers for help because he had already asked them, but they ignored him.The brothers of the Tang family even gloated and said that anyway, the auspicious time is not yet here, so you can choose slowly, my son, and the choice is naturally another good story, isn't it?It doesn't matter even if you don't win, the one you picked will be carried back to your home with Qiuxiang, and Qiuxiang agrees!Don't worry, just pick whatever you want.

Although he knew that the Tang family brothers were just teasing him, this kind of thing would not really happen.But Wei Ting was still a little depressed, he naturally wanted to make this a good story, didn't he?

The three of them were dumbfounded when they saw this, where did the four sedan chairs come from?Could it be that the test is not over yet?

But they didn't panic for long, because Xu Zhenqing quickly remembered the last clue given by Master Zhong, and pulled Wei Ting to remind him in a low voice: "Do you still remember what Master Zhong said?"

Wei Ting nodded, the other two also nodded, Xu Zhenqing said: "In that poem, it is clearly stated: the man is there, in a dimly lit place!"

With such a reminder, everything becomes easier.

The four of them immediately gave up their research on the four bridal sedan chairs and the four brides, and looked around to see if there was anyone waiting in the dim place.

Tang Shen watched the movements of these people, frowned, and immediately let go, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Tang Yin asked in surprise: "Huh? How do they know that the four sedan chairs in front of them are all fake?"

Tang Shen snorted, "I'm afraid I was reminded by someone."

"Reminder? Who?" Tang Yin couldn't figure it out. How much effort did they spend playing tricks on several people, and finally reached the last trick. They were able to see the joke with their own eyes, but they were actually given It's really depressing to take the bottom line with one move.

Tang Shen smiled and didn't say anything, just watched Wei Ting rush to the dowry pile with bright eyes, and found the most exquisite and beautiful sedan chair from behind the large pile of dowry. To Bridesmaid.The bridesmaids all laughed when they saw Wei Ting, and said loudly in a clear voice: "The auspicious time has come!"
