Volume 1 Chapter 16 Don't be kidding

The reason why Yang Cong got angry was not because Zhao Kun did not agree to marry his daughter to Yu Dayou. Such a thing depends entirely on people's voluntary behavior, and it is useless to force it. He was angry that Zhao Kun was too disregarded.

Zhao Kun's mentality is similar to that of most gentry in the Ming Dynasty. They all thought that they had studied hard, passed the exam, and became gentry, and they had become superior from now on. From then on, they could step on those lowly craftsmen, merchants, military households and even farmers and become noble masters.

Yang Cong discovered that he was becoming more and more disgusted with these gentry. Since these people were able to pass the exam, it proved that they must have outstanding achievements. However, they set their goal in life as being high-ranking masters, without caring about the sufferings of the people, let alone thinking about how to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous and strong.

To put it bluntly, these people are just borers, who are arrogant and do not have to do anything to produce, and do not think about how to defend their country. They only know that they oppress the people and seek personal gain is extremely hateful.

This guy Zhao Kun is particularly hateful. He clearly looked down on Yu Dayou's background, but he found many excuses to make excuses, such as fear that Yu Dayou was summoned by the court to fight, and that he was afraid that his daughter would be widowed. This guy just looked down on the military household and looked down on others!

Yang Cong humiliated Zhao Kun so hard that he was so happy, but at the same time it completely ruined the marriage.

On the way back, he deliberately got off the carriage and walked for a while. It seemed that his anger was not gone, but in fact he was trying to find a way.

This matter was fixed. He originally wanted to help Yu Dayou talk about it, but he humiliated Zhao Kun. There was no need to rely on this marriage. How should he explain to Yang when he went back?

It is best to find a marriage instead, otherwise I will feel sorry for myself. Who has the girl to marry?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of Lu Ling'er's cousin Li Xiu'er. It seemed that Li Xiu'er, the daughter of Yongningwei Commander Li Xixian, was just about the age to talk about marriage. If he had a talk with him, would Li Xixian accept this marriage?

This marriage is hard to say!

Li Xixian's identity is there. His sister is the wet nurse of the current emperor, and he is also the commander of Yongning Guard. He has a high position and is powerful. Will he fall in love with Yu Dayou, a hereditary family?

Yang Cong knew that with Yu Dayou's current identity and status, there was basically no hope.

However, there was one thing he had seen long ago.

Li Xixian did not rely on his ability to take up the position of commander of Yongning Guard. He relied on his relationship because his sister is the wet nurse of the current emperor and was deeply favored by the emperor. He loved the house and the underworld, and he became his own person in the eyes of the emperor.

He was like helping Jiajing take charge of the Yongning Guard, one of the three major guards in the world.

Emperor Jiajing is only in his twenties now, but Li Xixian is already fifty now. He must have been the commander for many years. Jiajing still has at least twenty or thirty emperors to be. So, in order to control the important ward of Yongning Guard, does Li Xixian have to consider the issue of successor?

Yang Cong felt that he should consider the issue of successor. He only had one daughter. To whom should the commander be passed on to? It must be passed on to his son-in-law.

Yu Dayou is loyal and honest, both civil and military, and is the best successor.

If Li Xixian can understand Yu Dayou's character and look at Yu Dayou's abilities, this marriage will probably have a chance!

Yang Cong became more and more excited the more he thought about it. Then he thought of Chen Wenjie's problem. If Yu Dayou became Li Xixian's son-in-law, then Chen Wenjie's problem seemed to be free from asking Li Xixian to take action. He directly asked Li Xixian to promote Yu Dayou to be the thousand households of Chongwu Institute. Chongwu Institute is next to Hui'an. If you are seeking help, it will be much more convenient than Yongning Acropolis.

As for Yu Dayou's qualifications, there is no need to worry about this. He was originally a hereditary 100 households, and he was the first in the provincial examination of the Wuju Examination in Nanzhili. Not to mention the Wuju, there were few people who participated in the Wuju. His qualifications were enough.

Yang Cong secretly thought about it and was not in a hurry to go to Yongning Acropolis.

He first returned to Yu Dayou's house, comforted Yang, and sent Shi Zhixuan back to the city. Then he ordered someone to get a thousand taels of silver from home. Then he rushed to Yongning Acropolis with Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan and others who were confused.

There was nothing to say along the way, and it took about one and a half days. At noon that day, Yang Cong and his party arrived at Yongning Acropolis.

Li Xixian was really surprised by Yang Cong's visit. Shouldn't this kid be at home to review his homework and prepare for the provincial examination? How could he come to visit him at this time?

Moreover, this guy sent another 1,000 taels of silver. What are you trying to do?

He welcomed Yang Cong and his party into a side courtyard lobby of the commander's yamen, warmly invited everyone to sit down, and ordered someone to get in Xiangming, and then asked cordially: "Nephew, is there anything wrong with you rushing here from afar?"

Yang Cong took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Yes, my nephew came to talk to Uncle Shi to talk to him about marriage."

Marriage?

What kind of marriage?

Your marriage to my niece is still hanging, and you are still in the mood to tell me what kind of marriage!

When Li Xixian heard this, she couldn't help but say curiously: "Oh, what kind of marriage is it?"

Yang Cong mustered up the courage and said directly: "I heard that Miss Xiu'er is also at the age of discussing marriage, so I specially found a good son-in-law for her."

Li Xixian fainted by the mistake of saying this. You guys have eaten too much. Is it your turn to worry about my baby daughter's marriage?

He was stunned for a while, and then he said calmly: "Oh, which hero is it?"

Yang Cong pointed directly at Yu Dayou and said exaggeratedly: "It is this Yu Dayou who is both civil and military, and has extraordinary martial arts."

As soon as he said this, not only was Li Xixian stunned by Lei, but even Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan who were accompanying him were shocked. Yu Dayou was so scared that he leaned back and almost fell out of place.

At this moment, Yu Dayou looked at Yang Cong like the frightened little wife.

He looked at Yang Cong in fear, and his eyes seemed to say, "Brother, I'll call you brother, you're done. This is a joke. The commander is the boss of Yongningwei. Do you want your brother's life?"

Li Xixian was stunned for a while, then looked at the pitiful Yu Dayou, and then said laughing and crying: "Nephew, don't joke, okay."

joke?

What a joke?

I'll tell you the truth!

Yang Cong said solemnly: "Sir, you may not know that Brother Zhifu was the Jieyuan of the Southern Zhili Wu Ju Ju in the seventh year of Jiajing. He passed the scholar's fame as early as the first year of Jiajing. This time he will go to Jinling with his younger brother to participate in the provincial examination. It is almost a foregone conclusion to be admitted to the Wen Ju Ju. Moreover, in the next year's examination, he will definitely be admitted to the Wu Jinshi, or even the top martial arts scholar. Master, think about it, who in the Tunwei in the world can compare with Brother Zhifu?"
