Chapter 89 Marriage in Volume A

"Mom, it's getting late. I can't sleep in bed. I got up by myself. How can Yun Shang tie me to the bed?" Feng Ziying pretended not to feel her mother's dissatisfaction and said to herself: "I did drink a little too much last night..."

"Humph, Ziying, your mother is doing this for your own good. Even if you are old, you are not suitable for drinking now, and so is Jia Lian. Why..." Feng Tang also shook his head, "Why did Jia Lian invite you to the banquet so specially? "

“It’s nothing, just saying thank you and getting closer.” Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, then added: “Brother Lian actually asked about my age and whether my family was considering marriage for me...”

"Oh?" Feng Tang and Duan were both startled, and then exchanged glances. Duan said, "Master, could it be that the Jia family wants to marry our family?"

Feng Tang was also a little hesitant. He knew the situation of the Jia family. Jia She only had a concubine, while Jia Zheng had a legitimate daughter, but she had already entered the palace to be a female historian, and her age was not suitable. Naturally, it was impossible. The remaining The next one is also the daughter of a concubine, and it is a bit inappropriate to marry him.

Mr. Duan obviously knew about this situation, and his face fell. "Sir, how could the Jia family do this? How can our Ziying, who is such a talented person, marry their daughter?"

Feng Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This attitude of his own lady changed, when Ziying had not gone to Shandong a month ago, she was afraid she would not dare to say this. She had to weigh on, and even went to talk about the media.

But now the world has changed, and her son Shandong and his party have returned and become famous. It is said that even the emperor and the elders know about it. Now he is going to the academy to study in preparation for the imperial examination. Duan even regards his son as a treasure. She actually began to dislike the fact that the Jia family's daughter was not a legitimate daughter.

But then again, if my son really passes the exam, this marriage will really be inappropriate.

 “Then Jia Lian didn’t say it clearly?” Feng Tang asked after pondering for a while.

"That's not true, but father, I won't consider it for the time being. Everything will have to wait until I pass the Jinshi exam." Feng Ziying's attitude was very firm.

“Jinshi?!” Feng Tang and Duan were both surprised.

It is a good thing that my son is going to study in an academy. If he can pass the exam and come back, it will be like smoke coming from the Feng family's ancestral grave.

It is really difficult to become a Jinshi. Neither Feng Tang nor Duan ever thought about it.

Even Feng Ziying mentioned that both Feng Tang and Duan thought it was just a gimmick for their son to motivate himself, and they never thought that their son actually seemed to have such ambitions.

"Father, mother, my son will go to Qingtan Academy to study this time. I am afraid it will take several years. I will definitely take the exam in the autumn of next year. As for the spring exam, I guess it will be more difficult. Maybe it will take two or three times. It can be done..." Feng Ziying has seriously thought about this issue.

The advantage of being a supervisor is that you directly skip the threshold of being a scholar. In fact, taking the exam for a scholar is no easier than taking the exam for a scholar. How many people are still young students when they are forty or fifty years old, which shows how difficult it is here.

She has been studying since she was six years old. Over the years, Feng Ziying thinks she still has some basic skills. However, the scientific examination is actually similar to the modern college entrance examination. Sometimes you may not be able to pass the exam if you study well, but there are still many skills required. At one point he already had some ideas.

In other words, he has some confidence in the candidates' examination, but it's really hard to say if he will be admitted as a Jinshi. It also depends on luck, so he can only say that it will take a few years to try two or three more times.

He didn't want to waste time on such things, but after understanding the political operation model of the Zhou Dynasty, Feng Ziying knew that it would be most convenient to integrate into the core political center as quickly as possible, and it would be most convenient to take the Jinshi examination. channels.

"Two or three times? Ziying, if you can pass the Jinshi exam, it will be worth it even if you spend ten or twenty years taking the exam." Feng Tang sighed, "It's just that the Jinshi exam is probably not that easy. Dad is afraid that you will pass the exam. In the end, I will not have confidence in myself, but I have seen too many people like you who were very ambitious at the beginning but eventually died down and returned home."

“Father, how can you know if it works if you don’t give it a try?” Feng Ziying certainly knew the difficulty here, but now he had to take this road.

“Okay, now that you have made up your mind, of course dad supports it, so just go to the academy and study, and don’t think too much about other things.”

Feng Tang noticed the unkind look in Duan's eyes across from him and hesitated again.

"So, aren't you Qiu Wei the year after tomorrow? If Qiu Wei can pass the exam, my father will promise not to arrange a marriage for you for the time being. Well, Chun Wei, if you are not sure next year, you will take the exam for the second time when you are eighteen, that I’m afraid it’s time for an explanation, right?”

These days, men generally get married between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. Eighteen is considered relatively late, and it is rare for men to be unmarried over the age of twenty, unless there are special circumstances or the family is too wealthy. Hardly able to afford a wife.

Feng Ziying is too lazy to argue. Who can tell clearly what will happen in five or six years? What will happen by then is unknown.

"Dad, Mom, I go to the academy to study, but there is a holiday every ten days and I have to come back. Everything in my courtyard remains the same as before." Feng Ziying glanced at her mother, "Yunshang and Ruixiang, I If you're used to it, let them follow me. What happened yesterday was that the child was a little bit lazy. He drank two more cups and won't be able to do it again."

 Feng Tang and Duan were both a little surprised.

It is really rare for my son to admit his mistake.

Since his son came back from his trip to Shandong, he seems to have become a different person. He has become much more mature and has a unique style in his words and deeds. As a result, Feng Tang and Duan often follow their son unknowingly when discussing many things. Feng Ziying's thoughts were spinning.

Sometimes when I react, I have basically reached a conclusion. After thinking about it again, I feel that what my son said is indeed reasonable, so I pay special attention to many of my son's opinions.

Taking the initiative to admit mistakes like this was extremely rare in the past, but it happened today. Even Feng Tang couldn't help but look at Duan, wanting to see what could have grasped his son's vitality, forcing him to He admitted his mistake.

Duan actually came back to her senses immediately, with a complex expression on her face, and snorted softly: "Okay, don't pretend in front of me. Ruixiang sent you to Jia's Mansion last night, and he didn't even know what to tell you? He That's right? Yun Shang, this girl, is always mouthy. Why would she stay in your house in the future? I originally said I would send her to the back room,..."

"Mother!" Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows slightly. He was not Jia Baoyu. He didn't dare to argue with his elders. He couldn't protect the people in his own house. How could he sweep the world if he didn't sweep one house?

Perhaps sensing Feng Ziying's displeasure, Feng Tang glanced at his wife and said calmly: "Okay, Brother Keng, you won't do anything in the house, but you have to take care of yourself. I know you He is a person with opinions, but just because you have your own opinions, it doesn’t mean that the people around you can do the same, so you should think about it yourself.”

“Thank you, dad and mom.” Feng Ziying quickly stood up and thanked her.

To say that he has already eroded his mother's right to manage the inner house, it is the Duan family's power to arrange and dispatch the servants in the palace, and it is not Feng Ziying's turn to intervene.

However, Feng Tang also knew that his son took good care of Ruixiang and Yun Shang, so he intervened to prevent his wife from getting into a fight with her son if she didn't wake up.

Seeing her son stand up and bow to thank him, Mrs. Duan's face looked better.

 She naturally knows her son's temperament, especially the changes during this period.

But even if it is the flesh that falls off one's own body, one has to follow the rules. Since he has not handed over the power over the matters in the Feng Mansion, it is not his son's turn to dictate.

Now that the matter was settled, Feng Ziying naturally would not linger in front of her parents any longer, and she found an excuse and ran away.

"Madam, Ziying is getting older, and you have to take care of his emotions and face in some matters. I know you are doing it for his own good, but you also know his temperament, and you have also seen his behavior during this period. So, as long as some things are not too excessive, let him do it, he will go to the academy to study soon, and he doesn't come back very soon."

Feng Tang's words made Mrs. Duan sigh, "Master, he is the flesh that fell off my body. How can I not hurt him? You also know that I am doing it for his own good. Ruixiang is fine. That girl Yun Shang was born She looks so charming, but they say it will be even worse when she grows up. She has to scrape the bones and **** out the marrow. How can ordinary people afford it? I don’t know if the practice method taught by Dr. Zhang is effective or not? We in the Feng family only have This single seedling cannot be harmed by these foxy girls. If I had known better, I should not have let Yun Shang enter his room!"

Feng Tang frowned, "Where did you hear all this nonsense? That girl Yunshang is just prettier than the others in the house, so why did she become a goblin? I don't think that girl has that kind of temperament. , Also, I can trust Ziying’s temperament, so there is no need to worry unfounded.”
