Chapter 197 Engagement

Yu Shengshi followed Yao's steward and entered the gate, walked all the way to the east, and entered the courtyard of the outer study where Yao Xianggong saw people handling official affairs. The inverted seats on both sides of the courtyard gate were full of Beijing officials and foreign officials waiting to see. Seeing someone coming in, they almost all turned their heads and looked at the people who came in. The steward looked as if they didn't see it. Yu Shengshi has never been so eye-catching. He is uncomfortable and doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.

The stewer's small steps did not even mean to slow down. The servant standing in the porch bowed slightly and let him into the two in turn. I don't know how long he has waited between the seats, and I don't know if I don't know if I can see the officials on Yao's side today. Looking at Yu Shengshi, who followed the stewor behind him, Yu Sheng was uncomfortable all over and in his heart But there was an indescribable pride. In the corner of his eyes, he saw his horse face sandwiched in the enviable face, staring at himself with astonishment and envy. The pride penetrated countless pleasures and couldn't help straightening up.

Turning into the hanging flower door, the yard was obviously much quieter and serious. The little man in the porch was still in the same blue hat. Seeing that the two of them no longer bowed to salute, but looked at the nose and heart, and stood straight. Yu Shengshi's pride and pleasure were rushed to Java by this seriousness. Only then did he remember that he was forced to come over by the stew manager and said that Yao Xianggong had something important to him, but he never had a relationship with Yao Xiang. What was the matter? Yu Shengshi's heart rose again.

The stewor reported that he entered the house first and raised the curtain to let Yu Shengshi enter. Yu Shengshi carefully entered the room and wanted to look up, but he didn't dare. His nervous eyes were a little flowery.

"Dalang is here, please sit down." The voice from the last head was very easy-going and polite. Yu Shengshi's heart suddenly calmed down. Yu Shengshi boldly looked up and saw Yao Xianggong in a purple robe and motioned him to sit down with a smile. On the lower chair on the left sat a man in his fifties dressed as a Confucian dress, shaking an old folding fan in his hand, which looked more It is very kind.

Ya Xianggong, who rushed to the top of Yu Shengshi, bowed to the end. Yao Xianggong pointed to Rusheng and introduced, "This is Mr. Lu." Yu Shengshi hurried to bow again. Mr. Lu did not stand up, but only took the folding fan and arched his hands with his fists in his hands, which was regarded as a return gift.

"Dalang, please sit down." Yao Xianggong gave way again. Yu Shengshi took it and sat down. A servant served tea. Yao Xianggong looked at him and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly with a little care: "Dalang should have seen it when he came in just now. I've been like this here. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to calm down and drink a cup of tea. It's really important to invite Dalang to come. I'll just say it directly. Don't be surprised.

"No wonder," Yu Shengshi was polite by Yao Xianggong and didn't know how to make a statement. Mr. Lu's eyebrows were smiling, but his eyes were very cold. Yao Xianggong glanced at him, picked up the cup and slowly took a sip of tea, put down the cup and then said, "Dalang is also a cheerful person. I heard that Dalang is the eldest son. The virtuous, elegant, gentle and rare. Dalang also knows that I have a son, that is, Xiao Shishi. Although she is a little greedy, she has been strict with me since childhood, and she is no worse than the children of ordinary people. She wants to have a daughter with Dalang.

Yao Xianggong's words stopped here. Looking at Yu Shengshi waiting for him to answer, Yu Shengshi was stunned. He looked straight at Yao Xianggong and kept blinking his eyes. Mr. Lu coughed gently and said with a smile, "It's really lucky that the eldest son has a woman like this. Shilang is pure and honest. The capital has a wide range of travel, and even the prince of Jin'an County can't compare with him. Yao Xiang always thinks he is greedy for fun, but isn't Shilang's age when he is greedy for fun? It will be fine when you become a family, get a family, get a career, and then get a good job. In my opinion, the young phoenix may be clear in the old phoenix in the future.

Mr. Lu's words finally reacted, and Yu Shengshi finally realized that his smile was brighter than a hundred flowers. He stood up and bowed several times, as if he felt that it was inappropriate. If Yao Xianggong and he became a son-in-law, everyone would be on an equal footing! He straightened up, took it more and sat back, arched his hand and replied, "How rare it is. Who doesn't know in the capital? I'm afraid that Yaofang is not worthy of Shilang. If my husband really thinks Yaofang is good, I will go back and discuss it with Zhu Jing and reply to my husband in the afternoon."

Yao Xianggong's face suddenly sank. Mr. Lu laughed a few times, shook the folding fan and said, "It is said that the son of Qingjiang Marquis is deeply in love, as expected. It's just that deep love is not at this. Here, a female marriage is the best of two surnames. This is the matter for parents to take charge. How can they discuss it from the inside? Isn't this a joke?" When Mr. Lu said this, he stopped talking and looked at Yu Shengshi. Seeing that he was red and uncomfortable, he closed the folding fan, gently clapped his palm and smiled, "Besides, Yu Shizi also saw it when he just came in. How many people outside were waiting to see his husband. He was summoned when he was forbidden in the palace. If it hadn't for the children, the parents had to do it themselves. How can my father-in-law have time to talk to you for such a long time? Even in this moment, it was also when it was squeezed out, squeezed out, and the prince came back in the afternoon. How could he see his father-in-law?

"So this?" Yu Shengshi looked at Mr. Lv and didn't know how to answer. Mr. Lv swallowed his saliva speechlessly and had to explain directly: "It's not easy for the father-in-law to squeeze out such a little space. In my opinion, I will settle all the things that can be decided today. The son and the prime minister's family are world friends, family backgrounds, and children are good. They are all well-known. This post and detailed post can be written together. It happens that Mr. Tong is proficient in counting. He is asked him to take a look at the eight characters. He is just and busy with the deployment of people's hands everywhere. In the next month or two, he will not be free for a moment. I think it is better to set up the marriage book today, which is also a glorious way to handle the six gifts. What does Yu Shizi mean?

Yu Shengshi faintly felt that it was inappropriate, but after thinking about it again, he couldn't find the slightest inadequacy. He only felt that everything was right and couldn't pick out anything wrong. He hesitated and glanced at Yao Xianggong, who was calm, and shook his heart a few times. He hurriedly smiled, "What you said is very, extremely!"

"That's good." Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile suddenly warmed a lot. Yao Xianggong's face was slightly pale, and a seemingly unusal smile appeared on his face.

Mr. Lu stood up and walked to the table and asked Yu Yaofang's birthday eight characters. He quickly wrote several posts, picked them up and blew them, and handed two to Yu Shengshi: "Yao and Qingjiang Houfu are both members of the family. If this post and detailed post are a little inappropriate in a day, I will mention the premise of life. Yu Shizi Look, is this appropriate? Yu Shengshi kept nodding. Even if he really felt something was not suitable, he did not dare to show it at all.

Mr. Lu wrote down two more eight characters, raised his voice and called a little man to come over and ordered him to give it to Mr. Tong to have a look. After a moment, the little man replied. Naturally, it was auspicious. At this moment, Mr. Lu had written a marriage certificate, which was first given to Yao Xianggong and handed it to Yu Shengshi. After a few rough glances, he took it back and put it into the red sandalwood box that had been prepared for a long time and handed one to Yu Shengshi.

The smile on Yao Xianggong's face was as easy and amiable as when Yu Shengshi came in: "From today on, we are children's in-laws. Just like a family, if the eldest son is empty, or if there is something wrong, just come and talk to me. The most painful thing for my children is Xiao Shishi. He and Yaofang must do this marriage. It's beautiful." Yao Xianggong stood up as he spoke and politely let Yu Shengshi out. Yu Shengshi's eyesight was not bad. He said a few words with a smile and did not dare to delay any more. He stepped back and said goodbye.

Mr. Lu picked up the corner of the curtain and looked at Yu Shengshi out of the flower door through the silk gap. Then he put down the curtain, turned his head and looked at Yao Xianggong, shaking his head and sighed, "Just such a person, I really didn't expect to raise a good girl like Mrs. Yu. It's a good blessing in my last life."

"He married a good daughter-in-law, and the Lening Xu family did not gain a false reputation." Yao Xianggong picked up the marriage certificate and read it again. He put the marriage certificate back in the box and smiled, "If Jiang Zhengyuan hadn't mentioned this wake-up, I would have almost missed such a good daughter-in-law." Mr. Lu laughed in a word: "This is the blessing of Xiaoshi, but at the end of Linchuan Houfu?"

"Linchuan Houfu has no intention, and I don't want to cling with my old face." Yao Xianggong looked pale: "I'd like to see what kind of good daughter-in-law Jiang Zhengyuan can marry!"

"It's nothing to Linchuan Houfu, but Jiang Guifei... Alas, how nice it is to get married." Mr. Lu sighed, and Yao Xianggong frowned: "Jiang Guifei is a smart person. If she dared to talk more, she would not have today's favor. Is the official family a person who can be controlled by a woman in a few words? There is no need to mention this matter. Fan Xiang really wants to push Xu Shangshu into the middle school. He has already mentioned it to me after retreating from the court today, and I didn't spit out.

Mr. Lu's eyes lit up, gently stroking his palm and laughing, "Sure enough, it's not to be expected."

"Well, the fourth master is quite green with Xu Sihai. Xu Sihai is uneasy about the Hanlin Academy and is determined to serve in the six departments. You should pay attention to see which one is the most suitable and quietly arrange it. As soon as the matter between the middle school and the third division is fruitful, let the fourth master recommend Xu Sihai to enter the six departments for practice. This bone point must be grasped accurately. The fourth master Recommendation must come first, and Xu Xuhan must enter the middle school first!" Yao Xianggong confessed word by word. Mr. Lu solemnly agreed and asked again, "So Jiang Zhuangyuan?"

"Jiang Zhuangyuan," Yao Xianggong muttered, "Xu Sihai's nature is exposed, but Jiang Hong's scheming is profound. If it is useful, Xu Sihai is not comparable to Jiang Hong, but Jiang Hong's scheming is too deep... I will discuss this matter with the fourth master." Mr. Lu nodded with approval. Jiang Hong was indeed not as sure as Xu Sihai.
