Chapter 2197 Fang Er’s chaotic plot
Xu Jingzong was a little unhappy, trying to play tricks on me?
You are still a little young.
Turning to look at Fang Jun, he asked: "Since I am my nephew's good friend, I will naturally give you advice. It's just that there are very few outstanding young people like these two among the younger generation. I am really envious when I look at it. , If those untalented scoundrels in my family can achieve this, I will die in peace.”
As he said that, he stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, insisting that Fang Jun express his position.
Fang Jun laughed, but did not answer directly. He said vaguely: "Logically speaking, uncle Shi is here today, but he has something to ask for. My nephew will definitely not let you down and come back... But you also know that the number of places in the academy It is limited, but there are many people coveting it, and it is very difficult for my nephew to be caught in the middle..."
Xu Jingzong frowned. If you don't say yes or no, what do you mean?
But when he saw Fang Jun turning the topic to General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance, he smiled and said: "These two are my nephew's good friends. They are both outstanding in talent and learning, and their character is stable and diligent. In time, they will definitely rise to the top and stand out." A few days ago, my nephew wanted to enter the palace and asked Concubine Yang to act as a matchmaker and propose marriage to the two ladies of your house. I wonder what Uncle Shi’s wishes were.”
Xu Jingzong was stunned on the spot.
I'm going around in circles with you, and you're actually targeting my daughter?
General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance opened their mouths wide and were stunned.
There is no problem for the two of them to get married, not to mention that Fang Jun asked Concubine Yang to be a matchmaker? This is a great honor, and it can be recorded in the family tree for future generations to look up to and honor.
But Xu Jingzong’s daughter...
Xin Maojiang subconsciously wanted to say, "A loving mother is here, I dare not make my own decisions" to excuse him, but was secretly pulled back by Wang Xuance, so he had to swallow the words back in his stomach.
"No way!"
Xu Jingzong was angry at that time: "My eldest daughter has been betrothed to a descendant of the Feng family in Lingnan. Although it is only a verbal promise and no formal etiquette has been written, I have already planned to go to the palace to ask Concubine Yang to approve this marriage. How can I do it all at once?" The second marriage? If this is true, how can I have the dignity to see anyone in the future? No way!”
Xin and Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Jun said leisurely: "Uncle Shi is a model for us in keeping his promises. In this case, my nephew can only lament on behalf of his two friends. It is really a shame that he failed to marry the noble lady and raise his eyebrows. They are in bad luck. But don't worry, Uncle Shi, you don't have to go around too much when the young masters from your mansion enter the academy. My nephew will ask His Majesty for instructions in person."
Xu Jingzong's eyes widened.
What's the meaning?
Since you are a popular person in front of His Majesty, why don't you tell me clearly that as long as you don't agree with the people who enter the academy, it will be useless for me to follow anyone?
Mother!
You actually threatened me!
Xu Jingzong's round, fair face turned red with anger. He had always been the only one who manipulated others without a bottom line. How had he ever been strangled by others like this?
How unreasonable!
Xin and Wang looked at each other. It turned out that Erlang was using the two of us as a raft to reject Xu Jingzong... Although he was reluctant to marry Xu Jingzong's daughter, it was inevitable that he would be used as a shield. I feel a little disappointed.
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he cursed with his halberd finger and spittle flew: "Second Fang, you bastard, do you think that now that you are favored by His Majesty, you will not take me as an important person? Bah! I followed Your Majesty in the past to conquer the country. when, Your boy is still nursing in your mother's arms! Now you dare to blatantly prevent my son from entering the academy on the pretext of marriage. Can you be worthy of your father's teachings and your majesty's trust? "< br>
Fang Jun leaned his upper body back slightly to avoid Xu Jingzong's spittle. When Xu Jingzong was tired of scolding, he said: "Uncle Shi is not young anymore. Being so angry is very harmful to the body. Now in the world, there is Sheng Ping and He Qinghai. Yan, it’s time to enjoy your glory. If your body is damaged and you can’t drink good wine, eat delicious food, or play with beautiful women, what fun is there in living?”
Xin and Wang were speechless for a while.
Xu Jingzong has just reached his fifties, and you make it sound like he doesn’t have a few more days to live...
Xu Jingzong glared at Fang Jun bitterly, but surprisingly did not curse again.
He realized that the boy in front of him could not be judged by common sense. He was different from other playboys who were still having fun and enjoying themselves. He was not very young, but his achievements were there, one after another, and he was a hereditary scoundrel. The dukedom of the country can also be exchanged for it.
Not to mention criticizing yourself, even if you really point your finger at yourself and curse, what will happen?
Linghu Defen’s old guy Yin Jian is not far away, and now everyone walks around when they see Fang Jun...
This is a real and powerful figure. Not surprisingly, he will still stand at the center of political power in the Tang Dynasty in the next thirty to fifty years.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jingzong turned to Xin and Wang without looking at Fang Jun to avoid getting angry. He looked at them intently for a long time, until he looked at them so hard that he suddenly asked: "You two , how much gift can be given? ”
General Xin Mao: "..."
Wang Xuance: "..."
Please, you are one of the "Eighteen Bachelors" who followed His Majesty to conquer the country. Now the "Eighteen Bachelors" are almost dead. You are the only remaining "Queen of the Palace", and you were threatened by a young man. Instead of thinking about how to fight back, you just bowed your head and surrendered?
And this opening is a "betrothal gift"...how shameless!
The two of them looked at Fang Jun hurriedly, their eyes full of pleading.
elder brother!
We respect you and are willing to go through fire and water for you, but you cannot find such a shameless father-in-law for us...
If we are related to such a guy, will we still have a good life in the future?
Fang Jun gave the two of them a calm look and said to Xu Jingzong: "There is no gift, only talent and ambition!"
Xu Jingzong's eyelids jumped, and he wanted to rush forward and strangle the mallet to death.
Aren't you friends?
Can't you spend some money to give your two friends a good appearance and buy some betrothal gifts?
His face was filled with anger, but in his heart he was weighing the truth of Fang Jun's words...
Logically speaking, he would definitely look down on Xin and Wang with their backgrounds. For a family like his, no matter how much they love their daughter, the first consideration when marrying off is political exchange. Whether it can be exchanged for political benefits is the top priority.
Of course, it would be better to have more betrothal gifts...
However, for the continuation and promotion of a family, apart from the need to marry off daughters in exchange for political resources, what is more important is whether the men in the family can live up to their expectations.
"Zhenguan Academy" has long been recognized as the birthplace of the future imperial bureaucracy. As long as you can study in it, you will have unparalleled connections. Let me ask, one's classmates will be the chief officials of the six ministries in the court and the feudal officials in the local area. No matter how bad a person like him is, he can be a big official and command tens of thousands of troops in the army. How can he be so bad?
Just a little tug from any classmate would be enough for others to struggle for half their lives!
If there is a little bit more potential, the future will be bright and the success will be smooth...
As long as a few sons can enter the academy, what does losing two daughters mean?
What's more, these two young people seem to be of good temperament, smart and capable, and they have a close friendship with Fang Jun. They have deep official resources. In time, they may be able to do something to help several of their own. Son...
The most important thing is, how dare he refuse?
With Fang Jun's status and favor in front of His Majesty, no one in the court can surpass him. When the academy starts classes, he can decide who will enter and who will leave.
If he is determined to shut out his sons, even if he kneels before His Majesty and begs, it will be useless.
Even if His Majesty gets his son in because of past friendship, Fang Jun, who holds great power, still has many ways to expel him...
Others may not be able to do this kind of thing, but Fang Jun has absolutely no pressure.
This guy is a stick!
Xu Jingzong said: "A dandy from an aristocratic family wants to marry the jewel of our family. Naturally, he needs a generous gift to show his sincerity. However, young handsome men like these two are full of talents and outstanding abilities. I admire them the most. Just by virtue of A sincere heart is enough. Now that Erlang has hired Concubine Yang as a matchmaker, I would like you to inform your family as soon as possible to prepare for the wedding. I have important matters at home, so I won’t accompany you any longer. "
Then he looked at Fang Jun: "I hope Erlang will stick to his word!"
Fang Jun said: "Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase it."
Xu Jingzong ignored the dumbfounded Xin and Wang and walked away.
After walking out of the door, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. Today I came to ask Fang Jun to do something. How could I go around in circles and sell my daughter instead of getting the job done?
