It was already the end of the Shen Dynasty when Jiang Han was carried to Ningguo Mansion by the servants of the Qin Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion is majestic, with two large stone lions sitting in front of the door. The setting sun at dusk casts an orange light on the entire Ningguo Mansion.
There is a plaque hanging on the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion with the three characters "Ningguo Mansion" written on it.
Two servants took Jiang Han into the east corner gate, and Qin Zhong ordered the servants to bathe and change clothes for him.
Jiang Han was at the mercy of others like a marionette. When he sat down, he had changed into a clean and brand-new robe, and his hair was exuding the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. His whole person was completely new.
Jiang Han's mind gradually sobered up.
Along the way, he had learned from the few words of others that today's literary party was actually a son-in-law selection party specially prepared by the Qin Mansion for Miss Qin.
The natural choice was the son-in-law who came to the house.
In ancient times, the son-in-law who came to the house was, in a bad way, a tool to carry on the family line, and his status was similar to that of an ordinary slave.
It’s no wonder that although there were many people watching this literary event, there were only a handful of participants, and most of them were just random people.
After all, a truly talented and ambitious person would naturally not want to be a son-in-law, even if the other party was Ning Guofu.
But when he woke up, he was ignorant. Not only did he participate in the literary meeting, but he also became the leader.
As for the so-called leader, Jiang Han felt that he was probably the taller one among the short ones!
Jiang Han felt that such a marriage was very unreliable. He didn't know what Miss Qin looked like or what her personality was. It seemed that Miss Qin also knew nothing about him.
Two strangers who have never met suddenly become husband and wife. What kind of relationship can they have and how should they get along in the future?
But looking at the situation in Ningguo's mansion, it was impossible for him to regret it.
Escape from marriage?
Jiang Han looked at the servants and maids in the mansion who looked at him curiously from time to time. I'm afraid it's not easy!
"Uncle, the auspicious day has been chosen. In two days, if you have any relatives or friends, you can invite them to come." At this moment, a middle-aged man came over with a smile on his face.
Jiang Han looked at the middle-aged man and remembered that he called himself Qin Fen and was the steward of the Qin Mansion. He said in a deep voice: "Steward Qin, Jiang really doesn't know that this is a son-in-law selection meeting. He really has no intention of becoming the uncle of the Qin Mansion. Can you please The housekeeper told Mr. Qin to be noble and let me go!"
Butler Qin looked at Jiang Han. Although this boy was thin, his appearance and temperament were not bad after bathing and changing clothes. He would not embarrass the Ningguo Mansion.
Butler Qin smiled and said: "The Qin Mansion is holding a son-in-law selection ceremony today. Everyone in Yunmeng City knows it. If you don't know, why do you still go to my Qin family's boat? Now, it's too late for me to regret it. "
Uh... do you believe me when I say I'm just hungry and want to go up there to eat...
Jiang Han frowned. He didn't want to marry someone he didn't know for no reason. In the memory of his predecessor, Miss Qin had a bad reputation and was not a good person. If he married such a wife, he would suffer everything in the future. Humiliation?
"If I don't want to, your Qin Mansion will force me to marry a wife!" Jiang Han said solemnly.
Steward Qin said: "The Qin Mansion didn't force you to go to the boat, nor did they force you to compose poems and lyrics! If Mr. Jiang wants to regret his marriage at this time, wouldn't it make the Qin Mansion a laughing stock!... Of course, if Mr. Jiang is unwilling and insists on it, If you regret your marriage, I will go and tell the master."
Butler Qin turned around and left, and said leisurely: "Although the Qin Mansion has declined somewhat in recent years, it is not just for entertainment. It is still possible to let some people sink into the lake silently."
"Mr. Jiang, just wait here. I'll go talk to my master right now."
Threat, naked threat! As the saying goes, a real man is born between heaven and earth, standing upright with heaven and earth. How can he be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ...Jiang Han cupped his hands and said: "The housekeeper is joking. Jiang has admired Miss Qin for a long time. How can he not be willing to regret the marriage? How can he regret the marriage!"
As the saying goes, a man is a man who can bend and stretch. Jiang Han followed his heart.
"Mr. Jiang, don't force yourself."
"Not forced, not forced at all!"
…
"What do you say?" In the main hall, Qin Zhongzheng was drinking tea leisurely. Although he was Ning Guogong of Dayu, and there was an imperial Ning Guo Mansion in Kyoto given by the emperor, but when he came to him, Ning Guogong had become an empty title.
Qin Zhong is not as rigorous as a big family, so for his daughter's marriage, he actually held such a son-in-law selection party in Yunmeng Lake.
Butler Qin said: "Sir, I have sent people to investigate Jiang Han's life experience. His ancestors were from Yunmeng City for three generations and were conscientious scholars... His grandfather was a scholar and his father was still a boy until his death. As for Jiang Han... he's not even a child yet. He's no better than Han Clan!"
"Furthermore, he took the children's examination several times, but failed several times. He is a famous nerd in the village, and is often used as a joke... But this time, he is like a different person. He is talented, thoughtful and literary, which is completely different from usual. , it’s really surprising.”
Qin Zhong put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Do you remember the commoner prime minister of Dayu?"
Butler Qin was slightly surprised and said, "Master, are you talking about Prime Minister Wei?"
There was once a commoner prime minister in Dayu. This prime minister was originally a commoner. He was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at the age of fifty-three. But from then on, his life was just like being a fool. He was admitted to be a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi...
Eventually he became prime minister and became a legend.
"Some people become wise late. Although they have been busy for half their lives, they still do nothing, but when the time comes, they can soar into the sky. Why is it surprising that they suddenly become wise at the age of twenty?" Qin Zhong smiled and said: " Since this Jiang Han has an innocent background, there is no need to think too much! Go and prepare invitations to invite the famous families in Yunmeng City."
"Yes, sir!"
Under the propaganda of the Qin Mansion, all the famous families in Yunmeng City soon knew that Qin Muqing was getting married.
And the person getting married turned out to be a poor scholar from Yunmeng City!
I heard that this scholar corrected a second couplet and composed a poem at the poem meeting for selecting a son-in-law, and was chosen by Mr. Qin as his son-in-law.
Many people were shocked for a while. Miss Qin is getting married so soon? Still with a poor scholar, but after the shock, I can understand.
Qin Muqing was a woman who loved to dance with guns and swords. Even three of the four eldest sons of Yunmeng were beaten by her. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was infamous.
And what Qin Zhong wants is a door-to-door son-in-law. Except for those poor students, who is willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law!
The two days of preparation time passed by in a hurry, and soon the day of Miss Qin's big day came.
Ningguo Mansion was decorated with festive colors everywhere, with lanterns and streamers and gongs and drums.
The invited guests also included all the prominent families in Yunmeng City, and even a few people from the government were invited.
