Volume 1 Chapter 99 Good News

Time flies, the sun and the moon pass by. In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

During this period, Yang Cong either accompanied Wang Xuan and Yu Dayou to study "The Collection of Chapters and Notes on the Four Books", or discussed "Theory of Studying Things and Knowing", or went to ask Liu Shouliang and Xu Jie for advice, and his life was quite peaceful.

However, the peaceful days were soon broken. That afternoon, he was studying the "Four Books and Sentences Collection" with Wang Xuan and Yu Dayou. Xu Jie actually came to him from the city of the city!

Yang Cong received a notice from the hospital guard and hurriedly took Wang Xuan and Yu Dayou to the gate of Yang Mansion.

Xu Jie was standing under the archway outside the gate and admiring the couplets he wrote. He smiled and nodded frequently, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Yang Cong ran out and saw Xu Jie's appearance, and finally felt at ease. Fortunately, this expression was definitely not a bad thing.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Brother Zisheng is here, I am sorry, sorry."

Seeing this, Xu Jie stepped forward and patted his shoulder, laughed and said, "Brother Qingfeng, you're out now. Let's go inside and talk."

This enthusiasm always made Yang Cong feel a little puzzled. Although he now understood that Xu Jie wanted to use him to deal with the wealthy maritime businessmen, he still couldn't understand why Xu Jie was so enthusiastic about him. Even if he was a Jinshi in high school, he was the future chief minister of the cabinet. A small Jinshi was nothing in his eyes.

This guy is really hard to see through.

Yang Cong sighed in his heart, but on the surface he enthusiastically held Xu Jie's arm and welcomed Xu Jie into the lobby of his main house. He ordered someone to go to Xiangming. Then he said curiously: "Brother Zisheng rushed over from the city without hesitation. Is there anything big of a deal?"

Xu Jie nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, there is something big, and it's a big good thing. Brother Qingfeng, guess what's going on?"

A great thing?

I was the first in the college entrance examination and won three yuan in a row. What other good things can I do? I have no recommended places these days. Even if I win three yuan in a row, I will not be able to become a juren without the exam. Could it be that I can still be a high-ranking official for myself?

This is obviously impossible. I am just a scholar, and it is difficult to be a ninth-rank sesame official.

He shook his head in confusion and said, "I really can't guess this."

When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and then smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, you are afraid that you have studied too hard. Can you forget such an important thing?"

Yang Cong couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Brother Zisheng, what's going on? I really don't remember it."

Xu Jie asked in surprise: "Do you really remember?"

Yang Cong nodded honestly and said, "I really don't remember."

Seeing this, Xu Jie couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Brother Qingfeng, although there is Yan Ruyu in this book, you can't read and forget the real Yan Ruyu. I'll remind you, Lord Zhang Yue and Lord Zhang replied to me."

Zhang Yue?

Zhang Zhen!

Yang Cong finally remembered it. It seemed that more than a year ago, Xu Jie told him that as long as he could pass the imperial examination, he could become Zhang Yue's son-in-law.

He really forgot about this.

This cannot be blamed for this. Because of the excessive "arrogance" of the Zhang family, he had no hope for this marriage. In addition, he met Lu Ling'er, who was unpretentious, and both of them had almost made a lifelong appointment. He would also think of the illusory Zhang Zhen. At this moment, he just wanted to pass the provincial examination, get the palace examination and then marry Lu Ling'er.

Unexpectedly, he forgot, but Xu Jie did not.

Now, Yang Cong was really confused.

Xu Jie didn't know that he had made a lifelong decision with Lu Ling'er. How could he tell others about this?

It's embarrassing!

He was stunned for a moment before tentatively saying, "What did Lord Zhang say?"

Anyway, I haven’t even mentioned the eight characters of Zhang Zhen at this moment. Let’s see what Zhang Yue means first.

Xu Jie really didn't expect that Yang Cong would become this attitude towards this marriage. Yang Cong seemed to have no hope of marrying Zhang Zhen!

This is not possible. In the letter, Zhang Yue had already vaguely intended to fight against the storm of the court with their Yangming lineage. Such a person who is expected to control the Censorate cannot be missed easily.

He thought about it and pretended to be happy for Yang Cong, and said excitedly: "Brother Qingfeng, congratulations, Lord Zhang's intention is to ask you to meet Zhang Zhen quickly. If Zhang Zhen does not object, you can get married after this meeting."

His words were not true. Zhang Yue's meaning was actually similar to those of Lu Song and his wife. People also thought that Yang Cong's status was too low, and no matter how he had to rely on a Jinshi to be worthy of Zhang Zhen.

However, he was not entirely lying to Yang Cong. He believed that with Yang Cong's ability, it would be no problem to take the exam for a juren this time. As long as Yang Cong can pass the exam, he would be confident that he would convince Zhang Yue to agree to let Yang Cong and Zhang Zhen get married. After all, this Jinshi is not so easy. It is not surprising that Yang Cong took the exam several times. It is impossible to let Zhang Zhen wait for another three or even six years.

So, in his opinion, the most important thing is that this blind date is that as long as Yang Cong can win Zhang Zhen's favor, this marriage will be almost done.

Yang Cong is in a daze now.

Blind date?!

This is unnecessary, right?

Lu Ling'er had already made a secret promise to him. Is it necessary for him to go on a blind date with Zhang Zhen?

He looked at Xu Jie's "excited" look, which was not easy to discourage others' excitement. He thought for a while and simply said vaguely: "This, Brother Zisheng, he is a lady from a wealthy family. Can he like me?"

Yang Cong was obviously giving up, how could this work? Xu Jie quickly encouraged: "Brother Qingfeng, you are a talented man who won three yuan in a row. With your elegant appearance, there are a few girls who can not let you agree secretly. Just go with confidence. I promise you can capture the hearts of the beauty."

This is true, he is sure to deceive a girl who is alone in the boudoir and has no knowledge of the world. Why? He is also a tall, rich and handsome man. The problem is that he doesn't want to deceive others. He already has a master of a famous grass.

He was hesitating there, and the old man Yang Rong suddenly heard the laughter from the old man outside the door, "Hahaha, Lord Xu is here, it's so bright. I've got something out and I haven't greeted him in person. I hope Lord Xu will be forgiven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Rong appeared at the door of the lobby with a spring breeze on his face.

Yang Cong quickly got up and greeted him in and directly gave him to the main seat. Xu Jie also quickly stood up and bowed: "You are polite, Mr. Xu came in a hurry and was really a bit presumptuous without telling him in advance."

The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and the old man Yang Rong asked about the purpose of Xu Jie's trip. When he learned that Xu Jie had written a letter to Zhang Yue for the marriage between the Yang family and the Zhang family, he was naturally very grateful.

As for blind dates, he was even more happy.

Yang Cong naturally told him about Lu Ling'er a long time ago.

However, he thought there was little hope for this.

Lu Ling'er's mother is the emperor's wet nurse, and Lu Ling'er's father is also the commander of the Jinyiwei. Will such a wealthy family fall in love with his family? This is too unreliable. He thinks that the Zhang family near Dongling is more reliable.

So, Xu Jie just fooled him a few words, and he immediately made a decision and took Yang Cong to a blind date tomorrow.

As soon as the old man Yang Rong spoke, Yang Cong couldn't be vague. He could only bite the bullet and go to the Zhang family in Dongling to try it.
