On the second day of Zhang Yue’s top scholar and matchmaker Mrs. Zhuang brought a post to the Wu family to propose marriage.

The Wu family also changed their posts.

After changing the post, according to the customs of Bianjing, the man could send a female family to see the future bride.

At that moment, my sister-in-law Yu was entrusted to visit Wu's mansion in person.

Yu was also born in a wealthy businessman in Jianyang. His family was a tea merchant. When he got married to the Zhang family, it was because the Zhang family was considered a scholarly family and a large family in Pucheng, so he married him.

Therefore, Yu had seen the world, but when he arrived at the Wu Mansion, he was still shocked by the magnificence of his mansion.

After Yu was invited to the inner courtyard, he sat quietly with breath. He saw that the screen, table, chairs, lanterns were all exquisite, and the female servants in the house had rules.

Yu thought to himself that he was Zhang Yue’s eldest sister-in-law, and he was half a mother, so he still had to put on some airs in front of his future sister-in-law.

Yu sat down to drink tea when the curtain moved, but saw a woman of sixteen or seventeen years old walking out.

Yu put down the teacup, stood up calmly, looked up and thought to himself, Sanlang is so lucky to find such a person.

Although Yang and Yu had told him that Seventeenth Lady was beautiful before, Yu still thought it was too simple to describe it as "beautiful".

The Yu family has been in charge of the family for more than ten years and is considered virtuous and has a strong personality on the outside and inside.

But when he saw that the other party had already bowed to Yu, he said, "I have met Mrs. Zhang."

Yu smiled and stepped forward to help Shiqiniang up and said, "Don't be too polite."

The Seventeenth Lady sat down in front of the clan, with a very thoughtful manner and regarded herself as a junior.

Yu admired from the bottom of his heart that he is worthy of being a prominent family. The women he has raised are really extraordinary, but will such a woman from a family be...

Yu thought about it and said something in advance.

So she said, "Seventeenth Lady, our two families have changed their posts, and I don't treat you as an outsider. You are from a noble family and have a rich and elegant family..."

After hearing Yu's words, Shiqi Niang guessed what the other party said. After Yu's words, Shiqi Niang said, "Madam Zhang, I'm reading some of the Book of Changes at home. The female teacher taught me that a man is masculine and a woman is feminine and Kun."

"Qian position is above Kun, and it is below. Yin and Yang can also change and complement each other. There is no lonely yang or lonely yin. Women should regard obedience and softness as virtue, and not as beauty as morality when they are below."

Yu nodded after hearing this.

When we first met, Yu was very satisfied with Shiqi Niang. Such a woman could be married to IKEA and her room.

Although they have posted a post, the men and women are still working together to read each other and can stop the negotiations at any time.

After drinking tea, Yu said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Yu took off the golden hairpin on his head and handed it to Shiqiniang and said, "A little bit of your heart."

Seeing this, Seventeenth Lady lowered her head and smiled and thanked her.

According to the rules of Bianjing, if the man sees the woman, he will leave a golden hairpin. If he is not satisfied, he will leave a piece of colorful silk to express his gratitude.

Yu gave the golden hairpin to Shiqi Niang, which means he already agreed.

The next day, the eldest lady from Zhuang brought a detailed post to her door, which listed Zhang Yue’s birth date, a dowry gift, etc., while the detailed posts returned by the Wu family need to be more detailed, such as how to dowry.

As for Zhang Yue, he is also very busy now, busy with the matters related to the episodes.

Qiji is a legacy left since the Tang Dynasty imperial examinations.

After becoming a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, he had to rent a house next to the examiner's house for a period of time, and then invite the examiner and the Jinshi to come to eat and drink in the same year, which is actually to win over the relationship between the officialdom.

Eating and drinking seem to be a casual thing.

But it is very important for the Jinshi. Since the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination, the most important thing after the Jinshi was to eat and drink well, and the official relationship was established at the wine table.

For example, the banquets that the Jinshi post-Senior School in the Tang Dynasty had to attend were of name.

A big meeting, a second meeting, a small meeting, a little meeting, a happy meeting, a small banquet after the ceremony, apricot garden banquet, a cherry banquet, a moonlight pavilion ball party, a peony banquet, a Buddha tooth watching banquet, a Qujiang conference, and a Jinshiguan banquet.

As for not clarifying the purpose, there is more.

With so many banquets, where does the money come from?

Then you have to be a Jinshi himself.

According to records, "the expenses in one spring are more than 10,000 guan," it costs hundreds of guan for each Jinshi.

Therefore, when the Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, the Yue family had to raise money to give their son-in-law a banquet and a shop, which was later called the money for the floor. There were few Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty who came from poor families, but even so, it caused a heavy burden.

In the Song Dynasty, the banquets given by the emperor were mostly held in April and May. Before the banquet, it was a collection of Jinshi who participated in the festival. The imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty witnessed what it means to recruit scholars without regard for family background and marriage without regard for family reading. However, how poor scholars gathered money to participate in the festival became a problem.

Zhang Yue woke up and Huang Lu came to his house.

Zhang Shi was happy when he saw Huang Luzi.

Zhang Yue and Huang Lu sat and drank tea.

Huang Lu said: "The first three groups of Jinshi are always in the Jinshi period. Who do you want to arrange for the entry?"

Zhang Yue said: "It's all Tongsheng Yan, and this is also a difficult point between choices and trade-offs. Please help me plan."

Huang Lu smiled and said, "If I can't see it for too long, someone will come to ask you, and you will be overwhelmed."

Zhang Yue also understood that although the cost of the qi gathering was huge, many Jinshi still had their heads sharply and wanted to participate. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, there were only a dozen Jinshis in the Tang Dynasty, but there were two or three hundred Jinshis in the Song Dynasty.

How can a banquet accommodate so many people?

Therefore, the top scholars and the banquet were selected by the top scholars, which was called entry.

Therefore, many people will come to ask for help or even ask for relationships, which is also a difficult place for Zhang Yue. If you don’t do it well, you will offend people.

In addition, how to allocate money for the period is also a difficult problem. The period is called 点邹邹邹, also known as 点邹邹. In the past, the rules were collected by the new Jinshi according to the ranking of the first grade of the academic year as a gift for a banquet.

Cai Que just didn't have much money and wanted to participate in the anthology, so he borrowed a lot of money from the bookstore, and finally...

Huang Luyan said, "Yes, what happened to me and Han Yanei in Fanlou yesterday was about Wang Junmin?"

Zhang Yue asked, "What?"

Huang Lu said: "I heard that Wang Junmin had vowed to win the top scorer before, so many wealthy gamblers in Bianjing bet on him as the top scorer. Although he has won the sixth place in the top scorer, these wealthy gamblers have lost money, and some have even lost all their savings. So everyone blamed Wang Junmin, and some even threatened to take his life."

Zhang Yue said: "Wang Junmin is the imperial court's official soon. These people will not really take action, they are just making noises."

Huang Lu said: "Who knew that I also heard that Wang Kui was so confident because an internal official from the Imperial Medicine Academy leaked the exam questions to him. But what's ridiculous is that even so he did not seize the top scorer from you."

"Yes, do you know the inside story of the palace examination?"

After hearing Huang Lu's words, Zhang Yue found out that he was competing for the top scorer with Wang Kui, Wang Anshi selected Wang Kui, and the rest of the officials unanimously recommended him. In the end, the officials appointed him.

Zhang Yue said: "In this way, I took Wang Junmin's No. 1 pick. Didn't he hate me deeply?"

Huang Lu asked, "Are Sanlang afraid?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "I can't ask for it."
