NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62
Prince Teng Li Yuanying's smile froze. It's all right, but can't I talk to you if it's all right?
Prince Teng, who was ordered to leave, felt a little regretful. He was sent away by Di Renjie.
"Your name is Huaiying, right?"
"Yes, Prince Teng."
Prince Teng Li Yuanying looked at him deeply and suddenly smiled, "Very good."
He traveled in Bianzhou for many days and heard a lot about Di Renjie and Song Zhen's deeds of handling cases like gods.
The two were close friends. He wanted to promote Song Zhen, so he naturally couldn't avoid Di Renjie.
In fact, he had another thing to do with Song Zhen. He had a heart of love for talent and wanted to marry County Lady Li Xunzhen to him.
[According to the "Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty": For the system of women outside the family, the emperor's aunt was named the eldest princess, the emperor's sister was named the eldest princess, and the emperor's daughter was named the princess, all of whom were regarded as the first rank; the daughter of the crown prince was named the county lady, regarded as the first rank; the daughter of the king was named the county lady, regarded as the second rank. 】
However, Li Yuanying didn't say it in the end. If he rashly proposed to marry his daughter, he would appear to have no status and be cheap. After all, he was a county lady. If he was rejected, where would he put his old face?
However, Cui Qiufang didn't hesitate like Teng Wang Li Yuanying. She got straight to the point.
"Shouzheng, I heard that you are not married yet?"
"Huh?" Song Zhen was stunned. What do you want to do?
Cui Qiufang said with great sorrow: "How can a man stand between heaven and earth without a wife?"
Fuck...listen to what you said.
Cui Qiufang blinked: "Looking at your dragon and phoenix appearance, you are a good-looking person. You are destined to be with my Cui family."
After hearing this, Lu Shi was unhappy. What do you mean by destined to be with you Cui family? Where did you put my Fanyang Lu family?
"Song Zhen, don't listen to what this old woman says."
Cui Qiufang said aggrievedly: "Look, I told you to be upright, but he just called you by your name. Don't you understand who treats you sincerely?"
Lu Yang: "......" Isn't it that he is used to calling Song Zhen?
Originally, he also called him Song Lang, but later, after being pranked by Song Zhen and unable to eat, he was so angry that he called him by his name!
Song Zhen smiled slightly and declined the other party's kindness. Now he only has Li Mengting in his heart.
"Don't rush to refuse. How many scholars want to marry the daughters of the five surnames and seven families."
"The problem is, I'm not a scholar. I'm just a rough guy who plays music."
"......" Cui Qiufang was speechless. Why is this kid so stubborn and not tempted by such a good thing?
She continued to persuade him, "I have a niece named Cui Mengting, who has just come of age. She is beautiful, well-educated, and a pretty lady."
"Thank you, Mrs. Cui, but I..." Song Zhen was stunned. Wait, Cui Mengting?
His heart was lifted up. Cui Mengting? Li Mengting?
Could it be that...
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
But he thought about it carefully, it's not right. If Li Mengting is really Cui Mengting, she should be the one who worships Yan Liben, not Cui Mengzhu.
He was in a dilemma for a while and didn't know what to do.
However, the most important thing now is to establish a relationship with the Cui family first, whether Li Mengting is Cui Mengzhu or Cui Mengting.
Seeing Song Zhen's relief, Cui Qiufang smiled imperceptibly.
Although my daughter is already a mother, I have a twin brother Cui Qiuhua.
Cui Qiuhua is also a strange man. He has seven daughters, but none of them are male. Now he is almost at the age of knowing his fate, and he is still working hard, hoping to give birth to a son to carry on the family line.
Cui Mengting is his youngest daughter.
At present, he has only two daughters waiting to be married, one is Cui Mengzhu and the other is Cui Mengting.
Cui Mengzhu is over 20 years old. In ancient times, she was already an older leftover woman at this age. If she is still unmarried, she will be taxed.
However, since she has been weak and sick since she was a child, she can't stand the wind and sun, so she has to stay at home all day long.
Some time ago, she even had a serious illness and was dying. It is said that the doctor gave up hope for her, but she managed to survive.
But after waking up, she seemed to have no memory of people, probably because her brain was burned.
She was so weak, although she had a beautiful appearance, few sons of the gentry would look down on her.
Can she have a baby if she is weak?
Cui Mengzhu is like the Tang Dynasty version of Lin Daiyu, coughing up blood for no reason. It always feels like she will suddenly die in the next moment.
However, her father Cui Qiuhua loves her very much. He invited countless doctors and spent a huge amount of money to treat her. He even invited Yan Liben to be her teacher.
The reason why Cui Qiufang did not introduce Cui Mengzhu to Song Zhen was that she felt that a weak woman like Cui Mengzhu should not harm others.
In order to avoid being thought that you, Cui family, are selling off your inventory at a bargain price of 99 yuan.
"SoCome on, Shouzheng, are you interested? "
Song Zhen nodded. If he found out that it wasn't Li Mengting, he would run away.
Besides, don't listen to Cui Qiufang's nonsense. How can the daughter of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Houses be so easy to marry?
The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Houses think they are superior. In order to keep their noble bloodline uncontaminated, they have intermarried for hundreds of years.
The "Clan Theory" of the Tang Dynasty records: The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Houses are not the norm. Even though the Li family has been emperor for many years, in the folk, the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Houses are still considered the best families in the world. Li Tang, you guys should stand back. They are just nouveau riche.
How awesome are the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Houses? For example, the Cui family alone has produced 29 prime ministers.
Wang Bo, one of the Four Great Poets of the Early Tang Dynasty, was from the Wang family of Taiyuan, and Lu Zhaolin was from the Lu family of Fanyang.
Li Jiao, one of the Four Friends of Literature, was from the Li family of Zhaojun, and Cui Rong was from the Cui family of Qinghe.
As long as you see famous poets of the Tang Dynasty with the surnames of Li, Wang, Cui, Lu, and Zheng, you don’t have to think about it. Nine out of ten are from the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Names.
Everyone has a lifelong goal of marrying a daughter of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Names.
The Five Surnames and Seven Famous Names are very powerful. They have repeatedly refused to marry the royal family.
Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty proposed to Zheng Tan, the prime minister of the "Xingyang Zheng Family", hoping that he could marry his granddaughter to the crown prince and become the crown princess. As a result, he ignored him and turned around to marry his granddaughter to the son of the Bo Ling Cui family, a ninth-rank official.
Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty was so angry that he stamped his feet, clapped his hands, and shouted angrily: "People in the folk practice marriage, regardless of official rank but family background. My family has been the emperor for 200 years, and I can't take care of Cui and Lu? ”
There is also Zheng Hao, who was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang. He is the only person in history who won the first place in the imperial examination and became the son-in-law of the emperor. He was originally engaged to the Lu family of Fanyang, but was intercepted by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and forced to marry Princess Wanshou to him.
After that, he resented Princess Wanshou for his whole life! He often slandered her in front of his father-in-law. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt guilty and dared not say much.
The Li Tang family has been trying to suppress the five surnames and seven families. Li Shimin once revised the "Clan Records" and, despite the opposition of the world, directly put the Li Tang family in front of the five surnames and seven families. I'm so angry.
After "abolishing the king and establishing Wu", Li Zhi, at the instigation of Wu Meiniang, issued an edict prohibiting marriage.
[Li Bao of Longxi, Taiyuan Wang Qiong, Zheng Wen of Xingyang, Lu Ziqian of Fanyang, Lu Hun, Lu The descendants of Song Zhen, such as Cui Fu, Cui Zongbo of Qinghe, Cui Yuansun, Cui Yi of Boling of Former Yan, and Li Kai of Zhaojun of Jin, were not allowed to marry on their own. 】
However, is there really no son of luck who can marry the daughter of the five surnames and seven noble families as a commoner?
Yes!
Du Fu's father Du Xian was like this. It seemed that he had used up all his luck in his life by marrying a wife, and his career as a fourth-rank official ended.
When Du Fu grew up, when introducing himself, he never said that he was "the son of Jingzhao Du", but called himself "the nephew of Qinghe Cui".
There is another person who is very close to Song Zhen.
That is Di Renjie standing next to him.
His wife Wang Muzhi is the daughter of Taiyuan Wang.
So Song Zhen, does he have the hope of becoming a son of luck?
......
