Chapter 394: Overjoyed
Chapter 394: Great Joy
The couplet came out, and Tang Yan said, "Okay, it seems that you have some knowledge, so I won't drive you out. But since you want to marry a little girl, then I'll ask you, why do you want to marry a little girl? It's only after I told you that I'm willing to accept the betrothal gift."
This is to teach people to show their love in public! Chen Ao is too thick-skinned and can't bear to eat at this moment. In fact, the atmosphere at this time is still relatively open, not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty where Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism is rampant. The customs are quite similar to those of the late Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with men and women talking about love.
This is why most talented men in the Southern Song Dynasty wrote poems more obscure, especially in terms of love. In the Northern Song Dynasty, even lewd words were flying all over the world. For example, Liu Yong, who was famous for writing *** or even obscene poems, became famous. Not only was he not despised, but he was praised by ordinary scholars, many of them were not serious in private.
Therefore, it was not rude to Tang Yan ask this sentence. Now he is taught to tell him how to love Tang Moer in public. For the Tang family, he also has face and avoids the possibility of telling people that Chen Ao came to propose marriage because of the imperial edict.
When everyone heard this, they knew that the highlight was coming, and they all said, "Young Master Chen, please tell me why you want to marry a talented woman in Tang? If you don't say it, you will be kicked out."
Chen Ao saw them enjoying the excitement, and complained in his heart, and crossed his hands and said, "The last time the student met Tang Cainu, he was attracted by her beauty. When he returned home, he couldn't think of tea or food, and he couldn't miss it day and night. His beautiful figure was all over his mind. If he couldn't marry Tang Cainu, the student would have no taste in being a human being in this life."
Everyone laughed, beat their chests and cried, and tears were about to come out. They thought Chen Ao could speak a few words in a literary way, but they didn't expect that they would be so straightforward, which opened their eyes.
Tang Yan's face was a little overwhelmed. He didn't look like a scholar. He was simply a slut. If you asked you to say a few words of admiration, why did you say so slutty in public? Alas, he was so sad, he was so sad! Thinking that he couldn't let him make trouble anymore, he quickly accepted the betrothal gift and told him to leave quickly.
After making up his mind, Tang Yan coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and tugged his beard in a tangled manner and said, "Okay, this betrothal gift will be left here." There was the meaning of expelling guests in his voice, which seemed very impolite.
Chen Ao made people put down the betrothal gift and took the people away happily.
Not long ago, a small window in the Tang family's wing room quietly pushed a line open. Tang Moer looked out for a while, and Mrs. Tang whispered: "My little ancestor, who is there to see the man come to propose marriage? If this is seen, I don't know how to make fun of your father. Don't you know your father's temper? He is most taboo to be unruly, and he doesn't know when it will be noisy."
Tang Mo'er pursed her lips, raised an arc at the corner of her mouth, and smiled slightly, "Mom, I understand, I just look at it; look, Mr. Chen is going to match the couplet. This couplet is really simple. Are you afraid that it will make Mr. Chen not correct it if it is too difficult?"
Mrs. Tang was a curious person. She was just trying to persuade her, but she suddenly fell silent. She narrowed her eyes and leaned over to Tang Moer to look out of the window, and said with a smile: "It's right, it's right, it's right, as long as it's right, it's good. I like this Chen Ao the more I look at it. Look, he is wearing a scarlet official robe and a winged hat, and he really looks like a little official." She smacked her lips and said: "I hope he is different from your father, don't be stupid in studying."
Tang Moer smiled softly, but she couldn't refuse it.
When Tang Yan asked Chen Ao to say something about admiration, Mrs. Tang's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say, "Here, I'm here, I don't know what Chen Ao will say."
Tang Mo'er's face turned a little blush and she spat: "Who cares what he says?"
Chen Ao's voice came from outside: "Student... saw Tang Cai Nv... she looked beautiful... she didn't want to have a tea or a meal..."
Mrs. Tang yelled and widened her eyes: "He said these words. I don't know that he actually has a verbal problem. Mole... Mole..." Seeing that Mole didn't respond, she looked back and saw that Tang Mole shyly went back to the inner room.
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but sigh. Such a straightforward word could not even be able to listen to her old bones, let alone Moer. She chased her happily to the inner room. Seeing Tang Moer facing the bronze mirror, she didn't say anything, so she walked over and said, "Chen Ao is so bad, she is so genius, and I don't know where to learn it."
Tang Moer said aloofly: "Mom, don't say that. Maybe this is really his heartfelt words." She wanted to explain for Chen Ao, but she was even more embarrassed and anxious when she saw Mrs. Tang's smile that made her face look so shameless.

After leaving the Tang Mansion, Chen Ao took out another copper coin. This time he had words, so he went to Yang Mansion. Without words, he went to Chun'er and asked everyone to testify and sprinkle money. However, he had words, and he made a big move: "Follow me to Yang Mansion."
After turning on the horse, the people who came with him seemed a little afraid and didn't smile so happily. The Tang family was fine, but everyone knew who Eunuch Yang was. They only knew that most of the eunuchs in the storytellers were vengeful and were cunning, and they were the hardest to get along with. Therefore, they felt a little timid. However, although the Yang family was big, not many people visited. Many people wanted to see what the Yang family was famous.
This Yang Mansion occupies much more land than the Tang family. It is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. Even the ordinary mansions of Duke and Marquis are not as elegant as this. Yang Jian was wearing a round neck shirt and was waiting for someone to repay him. Suddenly someone came to say, "The new son-in-law has left the mansion."
"I've left the mansion... OK, OK, OK... Boy, you are very smart. Before Zhen'er has passed the door, your son-in-law called him. The family likes it, the housekeeper, I'll go to the account office to pay him the money for him, and the family will be rewarded." Yang Jian's face was full of red light.
Then someone came and said, "The new son-in-law went to Tang Yan Tang Mansion first."
Yang Jian frowned and couldn't help but say, "Tang Mansion, why go to the Tang Mansion first? Could this Chen Ao underestimate Zhen'er? Humph, is this accusing Zhen'er of identity as not as tall as the girl from the Tang family? The miscellaneous family will teach him a lesson later."
The person who went back reported: "This is not the case. I heard from someone that the new son-in-law guessed it when he went out, but the Tang family was the first to choose."
Yang Jian's face then calmed down a little, and he cheered up his spirits. He couldn't help but think, let's go... The Zajia will give the Tang family the opportunity to take the lead this time.
After a few more incense sticks, someone came to report: "The new son-in-law is coming out and is coming here. This time I guess it's our Yang Mansion."
After hearing this, Yang Jian seemed a little panicked. It was the first time he was an elder hosting thing, so he hurriedly asked someone to explain: "Chen Ao will come later. Remember to call him a son-in-law, have you remembered it?"
The butler hurriedly said, "Dadfather-in-law, this is not true. Not only can we not call each other, but we have a more bad attitude towards the new son-in-law."
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the reason?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "If we greet each other with a smile and others see it, it means that the lady can't get married, and finally someone comes to propose marriage and is busy getting married? So the more arrogant we are, the more we value the lady."
Yang Jian suddenly realized that it was like this, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay..."
At noon, the scorching sunlight fell, and Yang Jian shook his fan and couldn't wait. Finally, someone came to report: "Dadfather-in-law, here... here..." Before he could take a breath, the sound of gongs and drums came over. Yang Jian immediately cheered up and looked towards the source of the sound. Soon, a winding team came from the corner of the street. Chen Ao rode a tall horse in front, with black people around him. Yang Jian was overjoyed, but he finally looked a little reserved and did not say hello to Shen Ao. He turned around and entered the mansion and said to the housekeeper: "Call Chen Ao in later."
A horse fell in front of the Yang Mansion. Looking at this luxurious mansion, Chen Ao couldn't help but sigh that the father-in-law is really different from the father-in-law. One is a bamboo fence wall and the other is a deep courtyard with several inlets and outs. Compared with this, I thought to myself that Eunuch Yang is afraid of making a lot of money.
Chen Ao took the famous imperial edict and went to the school to say to the school: "Student Chen Ao came to pay homage to Mr. Yang Jian."
Usually, some people want to pay homage to Eunuch Yang, but their families are used to being arrogant and ignore everyone. The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister, Eunuch Yang's reputation is no less than that of the Prime Minister.
But Chen Ao came today, and the door quickly smiled and said, "Young Master, wait a moment, and the younger ones will come." He pretended to pass the imperial edict. After a while, the official family of the Yang Mansion was sent out and said, "Young Master, my master is invited."
This time, the people who came with Chen Ao did not dare to act rashly, and they were waiting quietly outside. Chen Ao followed the housekeeper in. Yang Jian did not make things difficult for him, nor did he come to take the school exam. After all, Chen Ao's level was there. Although Yang Jian could recognize a few words, he was far inferior to Chen Ao. He took the school exam? Isn't this a humiliation?
After Chen Ao gave him a betrothal gift, Yang Jian gave Chen Ao out with a reserved attitude, and the marriage was decided.
Chen Ao came out, turned over his horse and rushed to Suiya Mountain House.
First there was Tang Yan and then Yang Jian. Chen Ao had only one meeting with him and had a bad impression of him. Therefore, although the people around him were noisy, he was not interested at all. He could not meet Chun'er when he proposed marriage. He was uncomfortable when he asked Chen Ao to greet Chun'er's uncle alone.
Finally, when I arrived at Suiyashan House, the same rules were still there. Chun'er's uncle was welcoming guests in the wing room on the second floor. What made Chen Ao breathe a sigh of relief was that Chun'er's aunt did not come. This was good. When Chen Ao saw her aunt, Chen Ao would not be angry. It would be better not to come, so as not to be angry.
