Landlord's hot day

Chapter 42 Dalang's relatives

Yang Dalang was stunned when he heard the words and asked puzzledly, "Sir, are you talking about media?"

"Yes, I came here as a teacher this time to talk about good marriage for Youguang," Mr. Yang paused, then touched his beard and said slowly, "Mr. Li, who teaches calculation in our state school, do you know?"

This "Youguang" is the official name of Yang Dalang, and Mr. Li in Mr. Yang's mouth is also a gentleman in Zhouxue. Yang Dalang knew it himself, so he quickly nodded to show his recognition.

When Mr. Yang saw that Yang Dalang knew Mr. Li, he slowly said his intention to visit today: "Mr. Li has three sons and two daughters under his knees. We won't mention that this eldest daughter has married a wife, but Mr. Li's second daughter is still waiting in her boudoir and has not yet married..."

Mr. Yang said that he stopped here for a while, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then slowly continued, "The reason why the second wife of Mr. Li's family has not been allowed to have anyone after his reign is that Mr. and Mrs. Li and his wife love this young daughter very much and are dedicated to finding an honest and reliable man for her. Picking around and accidentally over, Li Erniang hasn't been able to find a happy man until she was 17 years old.

After saying this, Mr. Yang took a meaningful look at Yang Dalang. Seeing that Yang Dalang's face gradually became a little uncomfortable, he knew that he had listened to his words, so he picked up the tea cup with a smile and drank it slowly.

After Mr. Yang deliberately held the teacup and drank tea for a while and left enough time for Yang Dalang and Liu to think about it, he opened his mouth without delay: "Mr. Li has also taught you to Youguang. He knows that Youguang is simple and straightforward, so he recently learned that Youguang has been delayed because you are determined to get fame. Then he thought of making you and his daughter into a pair, so he asked me to ask what you mean.

At this point, Mr. Yang has made Mr. Li's meaning very clear - I'm afraid that Mr. Li has secretly observed Yang Dalang's character for a long time and thinks that he is suitable before he is willing to marry his precious daughter to Yang Dalang.

Of course, the reason why Mr. Li chose Yang Dalang as his son-in-law must also have something to do with his upcoming official position. Otherwise, if Yang Dalang is just a poor student, no matter how simple and honest Mr. Li is, he will never look at him.

However, this matter came a little suddenly, so that Yang Dalang and Liu were not psychologically prepared in advance and could only look at each other face to face. Although Yang Dalang is pedantic and rigid, he is not a stupid person. After carefully considering Mr. Yang's words, he gave him a conservative answer: "Mr. Li's kindness has flattered Youguang, but his parents have always had to be left to make matters in charge of marriage. At present, my father has not returned home and it is impossible to discuss, so it is not easy for Youguang to give it to Mr. Yang for a while. Reply..."

Yang Dalang paused and saw a look of agreement on Liu's face before he finished his words: "Why don't you give Youguang a few days first and wait for Youguang to discuss with his parents before going to Mr. Zhou Xuexun to answer this matter in person?"

Mr. Yang came here today just to reveal his intention to Yang Dalang about his intention to get married for his old friend. He didn't want the Yang family to reply to the Li family immediately after listening to it. After all, marriage is a matter for a lifetime, and anyone can think about it well.

So Mr. Yang readily responded to Yang Dalang's request: "I can understand this, but your family should think about it and remember not to publicize it, so as not to embarras Mr. Li's family in case this marriage fails. After all, some people don't want to Marry a little woman who can't be married to others.

Hearing this, Yang Dalang nodded repeatedly and patted his chest to assure, "Students know what to do and will definitely not tell some insignificant people about this matter. You can rest assured, sir."

Mr. Li saw that Yang Dalang still had a satisfied smile on his face, and then exchanged a few words with Yang Dalang, and intentionally or unintentionally said, "Youguang will go to Tokyo to do business in a while, right? But do you have to ask someone to help you ask if there are any good gaps in advance?

Yang Dalang's face suddenly felt a little gloomy when he heard the words, and shook his head and replied, "Students are indeed going to go to Tokyo to get a shortage in a while, but students have no chance to know any capable people and nobles, so although they know that if they want to get a good poor person to get one or two, they have been suffering from no one to entrust."

Yang Dalang has been with the students who went to the exam for so long, and he has been familiar with this way of being an official for a long time. Therefore, he did not foolishly ask Mr. Yang how to do something, but directly told him the distress and helplessness in his heart.

After hearing this, Mr. Yang quickly added: "If this newcomer wants to find a good job, it is even more difficult to have no connections and dependent forces. In the end, he can only get a job that no one wants to take--"

Mr. Yang said that he deliberately pulled the ending long, paused for a long time, and then took a meaningful look at Yang Dalang, and then said meaningfully, "Although Mr. Li has withdrawn from the officialdom and changed to concentrate on teaching students in state school, he has been rolling in the officialdom for so many years. Still, his three sons also rely on his relationship to get a good job, so this counselor really has to rely on his connections..."

Mr. Yang's words gradually made Yang Dalang's face a little complicated. After he figured out the meaning of Mr. Yang's words, he looked at Mr. Yang with an inquisitive look. Seeing that Mr. Yang smiled and said nothing but nodded invisibly, Yang Dalang knew that he had guessed what Mr. Yang wanted to express vaguely. Thinking, my mind also slowly turned around.

When Mr. Yang saw that Yang Dalang had understood his other intention of coming this time, he quickly got up and said goodbye after a few more words with Liu. Before leaving, he patted Yang Dalang on the shoulder kindly and said, "Youguang, you are a smart child. I believe you will figure out what I just said and bring me a Good news."

Yang Dalang respectfully answered "Yes", and then sent Mr. Yang all the way to the entrance of the village and turned back. Before he reached the door, he saw Liu standing at the door waiting for him anxiously. Obviously, he was very concerned about what Mr. Yang had mentioned earlier and wanted to discuss with Yang Dalang earlier.

So Yang Dalang hurriedly accelerated his pace to meet him. He accompanied Liu to the room and asked, "Mom, why did you come out?"

Liu waved his hand and asked, "Mr. Yang has left?"

Yang Dalang replied, "Well, let's go."

"What else did he say to you?"

"No, just let me think about this marriage," Yang Dalang paused halfway, but he only hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Sir also said that this is a rare opportunity for me."

Yang's words made Liu's face a little more solemn. When Mr. Yang mentioned the situation of Mr. Li's family and his connections in the officialdom, Liu felt that there was something in Mr. Yang's words, as if he were implying something to them, and his mind quietly turned around at that time...

Although Liu doesn't understand those things in the officialdom, she has seen pigs walk even if she hasn't eaten pork, right?

Therefore, after Liu repeatedly thought about Mr. Yang's words, he quickly erred out the intention of Mr. Yang's words, so in order to confirm whether he was thinking about it correctly, Liu Shi was anxiously waiting for Yang Dalang at the door. Therefore, as soon as Liu listened to what Mr. Yang finally said to Yang Dalang, he immediately understood what Mr. Yang meant and what she guessed!

And Liu's thoughts turned around, and she and Yang Dalang had entered the hall. Yuer and others gathered in the hall curiously when they saw Mr. Yang leave, but before they could open their mouth to discuss, Yang Dazhu also came back, so the whole family happened to be together. So Yang Dalang simply took this opportunity to tell Mr. Yang's intentions.

After Yang Dalang told the original story and Mr. Yang's secret meaning, Yuer took the lead in asking the most important point: "So as long as the eldest brother can marry the second wife of the Li family, the Li family can help the eldest brother find a good job?"

Yang Dalang nodded and said, "Yes, since Mr. Li took the initiative to invite Mr. Yang to come to our house to talk about matchmaking, he had already had the intention of promoting his future son-in-law, otherwise he would not have chosen me as his son-law."

The meaning of Yang Dalang's words is that if the Li family chooses other people with background and connections as their son-in-law, the Li family will not be of much help in the matter of seeking a son-in-law. In this way, the Li family's means to make his son-in-law thank them and then treat their daughter well are useless, so Mr. Li chose Yang Dalang after careful consideration.

And if Yang Dalang gets the help of the Li family to find a good position and becomes the son-in-law of the Li family, he will naturally stand on the same side as Li Erniang's three brothers in the officialdom in the future. This is not only a helper but also a reliable husband for his daughter, which can be said to be a win-win situation. Things!

Yang Dalang analyzed the heart of the Li family, and Yang Dazhu, who was very upright and old-fashioned, said on the spot, "We can't end this marriage. How can we rely on women to become officials?"

Yang Dazhu's words made the family's face suddenly look a little ugly. After all, no man likes to listen to the words "relying on women and making a soft meal", so Yang Dalang's face is also much more complicated than others, which can be said to be changed in an instant! Yuer knows that whether it is modern or ancient, China is actually a society that pays attention to connections and backgrounds. No matter who or in what era, as long as there is "one above" it is easy to do.
