A few days ago, Sheng Hong received an invitation from Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion and invited him to come to Baihualou for a banquet.

Sheng Hong was puzzled after receiving the invitation, he was originally just a general judge in Yangzhou, and after entering Beijing, he was only a five-grade official, how loud is the name of the eighth prince of the Great Thursday, how could such an unpopular petty official receive an invitation from Jia Zhen of Ningguofu.

Thinking about it, Sheng Hong couldn't figure it out, but it was impossible not to go to the banquet, Sheng Hong made up his mind as long as he was polite and cautious, don't anger Jia Zhen, don't ask for a relationship with Ning Guofu from now on, at least don't have a gap.

After thinking clearly, Sheng Hong's mood was much calmer, and he arrived at Baihualou early today.

After about half an hour, Jia Zhen stepped into the private room.

When he saw that Sheng Hong was already waiting in the private room, Jia Zhen immediately said: "Lord Sheng, I'm really sorry, I am entangled in mundane things, and I have been delayed for some time, Lord Sheng is in a hurry." "

Sheng Hong hurriedly saluted Jia Zhen and said, "What did the adults say, Xia Guan has just arrived. "

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Master Sheng doesn't have to be so polite, please sit down, Xiao Er, serve the food." "

"Okay, sir. "

After Xiao Er left, the atmosphere in the private room was a little stagnant, Sheng Hong was convinced that it was wrong to say more, and when he met Jia Zhen for the first time, he naturally didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen had to say without a word: "Master Shan, I have arrived in Kyoto from the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how I feel?"

Sheng Hong said decently: "Kyoto is the center of my Great Zhou, where the dragon qi is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the momentum is majestic and immense, and it is not comparable to Yangzhou." "

After Jia Zhen had nothing to say and gossiped for a while, Sheng Hong also saw through Jia Zhen's foundation, although Jia Zhen was noble, but she was just a wine bag and rice bag, as long as she answered decently, she could easily pass the test, and Lala's favor was not a problem.

Jia Zhen saw that there was nothing to talk about, and finally said the real purpose.

Jia Zhen said: "Master Shan, I heard that Lord Sheng still has a few daughters in the family to be married, right?"

Sheng Hong was shocked, coming, this is the real purpose of Jia Zhen's appointment to meet her, but Jia Zhen is almost forty years old, and when several daughters in her family are in their prime, if she agrees, I am afraid that I will really be poked in the backbone by the courtiers and scold me for selling my daughter for glory.

Although he was thinking about how to refuse Jia Zhen in his heart, Sheng Hong still said calmly: "Yes, Xia Guan does have a few daughters to marry, but the little girl Pu Liu's posture is very ordinary, plus Xia Guan is busy with official business, it is inevitable that he will be negligent in the discipline of his children, and he is about to become a wild girl." "

After hearing this, Jia Zhen said: "Where did Master Sheng say, your Sheng family is the home of hairpins, Master Ling Zunsheng is the Tanhualang appointed by the Emperor, Mrs. Sheng is the daughter of Yongyi Houfu, and she also has a friendship with the ancestors of my Ningguo Mansion. "

Sheng Hong suddenly secretly complained in his heart, sure enough, there was no good banquet, and he was also lost, why did he come to the banquet, it was difficult to ride a tiger now.

Sheng Hong thought for a while and said, "My lord, forgive the official for asking more, do you want to protect the media for which son?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhen smiled and said: "Master Sheng is really like a god, yes, I do plan to be a matchmaker, but not for others, but for my brother." "

"This, my lord, the little girl has no virtue and appearance, how dare you climb the Ning Mansion, wait, the lord is talking about your brother?".

Sheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and rushed to the street, it turned out that it wasn't you, who were not old and cheeky, and wanted to marry your daughter, so scared of your cold sweat.

Jia Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it is the second brother of my mother's compatriot and my father's sister-in-law, Jia Yuan." "

Seeing this, Sheng Hong asked, "This, my lord, dare to ask Brother Ling this year?"

Jia Zhen knew that Sheng Hong was looking at himself nearly forty years old, and he was worried that Jia Yuan was too old, so he immediately said: "My second brother is sixteen years old this year, and he is the son of the elder of the family, and our brother is far behind, after the death of his father, our brother split up, but the eldest brother is like a father, and his father and mother have passed away, so my second brother's marriage naturally requires me, the eldest brother, to work for him, so I asked Sheng Daren out." "

Sheng Hong was naturally a little moved after hearing this, sixteen years old, but it was commensurate with the age of his daughters, if he could be a family with Ning Guofu, it would naturally be a good thing for the Sheng family.

It's just that based on the lintels of the two families, even if his own daughter marries Jia Yuan as his wife, it is still high.

After thinking about it, Sheng Hong said: "Since the adult is so honest, then the lower official will also say it directly, if the little girl marries Brother Ling as a wife, she will naturally climb the lintel, and the door is not right, but the daughter of my Sheng family will not marry out to be a concubine, so the lower official can only refuse the kindness of the adult." "

Jia Zhen immediately said: "Master Sheng is too worried, I really admire the Sheng family's cultivation and heirloom, since it is a courtship, it is natural to marry my second brother as a wife, how can I be a concubine." "

Sheng Hong's heart was immediately very happy after hearing this, what is a pie in the sky, this is a pie in the sky, the dignified Ningguo Mansion wants to ask my Sheng family for marriage, which shows how deeply rooted my Sheng family's family style and family education are.

Sheng Hong said with a smile: "Since the adults do not dislike my Sheng family and are willing to marry my family, then the lower officials naturally have no reason to refuse, I and my wife's eldest daughter Hua Lan have been married, and the remaining daughter-in-law is my wife's second daughter Rulan, if the adults don't dislike it, let Brother Ling and the little daughter Naji measure whether the eight characters of Nian Geng are in conflict with each other, and after confirming that there is no conflict, we will talk about the next things, what do adults think." "

Of course Jia Zhen disagreed, Jia Yuan, the bastard, cheated himself for 20,000 taels of silver, and he was crazy to pick a satisfactory lady for him, Jia Zhen did this thing to disgust Jia Yuan.

Jia Zhen waved her hand and said, "No, Master Shan, I just want to ask for a concubine from your mansion for my second brother to marry." "

Sheng Hong's color changed when he heard this, and his eyes when he looked at Jia Zhen changed, Sheng Hong said in an unkind tone: "My lord, although the lower official is only a small official, he also knows the etiquette, why do you need to win the official to find happiness, let the younger brother be the son of Ning Guofu, how noble is his identity, how can he marry the concubine of the lower official."
