Chapter 340
The Pan Xiaoyan, who Wu Haogu saw, seemed to be sick, leaning against a thick layer of brocade bed in a very recession, with white cloth wrapped around his head, and the bedroom was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. There were two maids beside him rubbing his shoulders and backs.
What's wrong? Wu Haogu was shocked when he saw Pan Xiaoyan who looked sick. Is it impossible or what? If I had known this, I would have asked Du Wenyu to come over with his painting tools and he would help Pan Xiaoyan draw the portrait...
"Governor, you are..." Wu Haogu asked with concern.
Pan Xiaoyan glanced at Wu Haogu and smiled bitterly and said, "Dalang, call him Shidi Governor? Call him San Ge."
It turns out that Pan Xiaoyan is not the eldest son of the Pan family, but is ranked third. He is the leader of the clan just because he is a legitimate child. Pan Qiaolian is his eighteenth sister, and they are of the same generation, so Wu Haogu, who married Pan Qiaolian, was the same generation as Pan Xiaoyan.
"Brother San, what's wrong with you?" Wu Haogu asked while sitting down on a rose chair.
"Don't mention it!" Pan Xiaoyan waved his hand and said, "My ancestor's tomb was flooded! What should I do? That tomb is an ancestral tomb! The feng shui is so good, why is it flooded..."
It turned out that the Pan family’s ancestral tomb was flooded!
To be honest, the Sanyi returned to the river, led by the new party, has really hurt a group of Hebei people. The houses, fields, and ancestral graves are flooded! A while ago, it almost flooded the Daming Mansion. Hebei looks like this, how can it support Xuanhe's Northern Expedition?
Compared with the Northern Expedition, it seems that how to control the Yellow River seems to be more important.
"Third brother," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Is the Pan family's ancestral tomb okay?"
He means the grave is still there, right?
"Okay?" Pan Xiaoyan shook his head repeatedly, "Okay, can I still do this? I have been drowned for two months! My ancestors soaked in the water for two months... This is really a sin..."
"Why don't you move somewhere for the ancestor?" Wu Haogu asked tentatively.
To be honest, he had no choice but to manage the Yellow River, and even if he had any advice, he would not be in charge. After thinking about it, he could only move the Pan family ancestors to a safer place to avoid floods.
"Move... I must move!" Pan Xiaoyan sighed, "But the current cemetery is a Fengshui treasure land, which has blessed the Pan family for more than a hundred years. Where can I find such a Fengshui treasure land?"
Yes, Wu Haoguxin said: Yuntai Fairy Mountain is good! I will move the Wu family’s ancestral tombs.
The foundation of the Pan family should not be placed in Daming Mansion. Even if this place is not defeated by the Jurchens, it will have to be flooded by the Yellow River. It is better to move to Haizhou early.
However, this suggestion cannot be put forward like this, and it still has to be fooled.
Wu Haogu thought for a while and said, "Third brother, you are not in a hurry to find a master to find a treasure land." He paused, "I heard that King Duan has met two Taoists recently, which is very effective. Why would you please ask them to see it?"
"This is a solution." Pan Xiaoyan coughed a few times as he spoke, but he was a little more energetic and seemed not to go to see his ancestors for the time being.
"Dalang, is there anything wrong with you coming here?" Pan Xiaoyan asked again at this time.
"Oh," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Actually, there is nothing serious. He just wants to invite the third brother to come forward and be a matchmaker for my second brother."
"As a matchmaker? Whose daughter did your second brother fall in love with?"
"I didn't like anyone else," Wu Haogu smiled, "I just wanted to climb the family of the Han family in Xiangzhou."
"Pan?" Pan Xiaoyan burst into laughter, "Your ancestors have had a female emperor, how can the Han family in Xiangzhou compete with your family?"
"It's not the Wu Zhou Li Tang now," Wu Hao Ancient Road, "The Han family in Xiangzhou has had two dynasties like Han Zhongxian."
Pan Xiaoyan nodded and smiled, "Your second brother heard that he is a talented man?"
Wu Haogu said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, my Erlang and I are not the same method. They have worked hard since childhood and are also a seed of study. They have also done well in the Taixue exam, so I want to take a try this year, and maybe I can sing the name outside Donghua Gate."
Pan Xiaoyan asked strangely: "Dalang, aren't you close to Xueshu Cai? Why don't you go to the Cai clan to find one? Don't say you don't have that way."
Cai Jing and Cai Bian are both high-ranking officials who are only one step away from the prime minister. There are also many girls in the clan who are waiting to be named after the boudoir. Compared with the Han family in Xiangzhou, which belongs to the old party and is now a little declining, the Cai family in Xinghua should be a better marriage partner.
Moreover, Wu Haogu, the recent fortune-telling person, is a friend of Duan King Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is a hot topic for ascending the throne. Even if the throne is not his turn, he must be his son. Zhao Ji came forward and said that Cai Jing would never refuse to marry a daughter from a clan to Wu Haowen.
But Wu Haogu didn't want to find the daughter of the Cai family for his younger brother, but instead focused on the Han family in Xiangzhou, which had become unpopular.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "The second brother is different from me. He is just a nerd. If he can't get along with the daughter of the Cai family, it's better for him to be the daughter of the Han family."
Of course, Wu Erlang was very hard-working in studying. The talented men of the Song Dynasty belonged to a very small number of talented scholars. Most of the good men who had a Jinshi in the exam were hanged on their heads and stabbed their thighs.
If you have to write poems all day to pick up girls and play games in your life, you will probably end up with a poor and poor life! Even Su Dongpo and Zhang Dun, a genius, might be studying hard when no one is around!
By the way, the current Wuhan University dirty officials are actually very hard-working. They play "quality education". They can't fall behind when painting, riding horses, shooting archery, and studying! And they have to deal with corruption in the officialdom and various mundane affairs in the shopping mall.
On the way to Daming Mansion, he never participated in the entertainment activities arranged by Yan Po'er from beginning to end. When others were having fun, he would sneak away to practice martial arts with Lin Wancheng, or go to sketch with Du Wenyu. If he had some time, he would also have to read and recharge the "Cai Notes" "Three New Classics" given by Cai Jing, as well as the seven official Martial Arts and the draft of "Murong Military Arts" given by Murong Laoer. Wu Hao Ancient Capital is carefully studying it.
Wu Haogu is both practicing martial arts and studying military books. Of course, it is not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to prepare for the imperial examination four years later. No matter what, you must win one of the Jinshi. Even if you have difficulties in a Chinese Jinshi, you can get a martial Jinshi!
Because he did not have a Jinshi, not saying that he was inferior to others in the officialdom would not be conducive to his future school... He could not even get a Jinshi, and he still had the face to teach his students?
Back to the point, Wu Haogu wanted to find a Han daughter as a wife for Wu Erlang, not because Wu Erlang was too nerdy, but wanted to burn the old party's cold stove.
Although the old party is in a recession now, they will start to shake again as soon as Emperor Zhezong dies. Wu Haogu and Han Zhongyan are relatives, so they can always be lighter when the other party starts to rectify, right? In this way, Jiehe Market will be able to gain a valuable development period in the seedling stage.
However, Wu Haogu himself cannot join the old party, and the old party also looks down on him, a close-knit official, and at most a useful dirty official, the old party also needs dirty officials! Otherwise, how could the old party officials enjoy the corrupt feudal life?
Wu Haowen can join the old party because according to the rules of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Wu Haowen's official career started with a roll call outside the Donghua Gate. It was not recommended by Wu Haogu to join the officialdom, so it has nothing to do with Wu Haogu.
Pan Xiaoyan thought about it and understood Wu Haogu's thoughts. He nodded and said, "The Han family in Xiangzhou has many descendants and many daughters who are in the boudoir. Your Erlang must be despised by the ordinary branch. He must be from Han Zhongxian's branch."
The Han family is a big family in Xiangzhou. There are hundreds of male members in the family. The good ones are Han Qi's descendants. The five sons (six were born in total, and one died long ago) are all high-ranking officials, including one of them. One of them is the princess of Qi who reigned Song Shenzong.
"It's better to be from the Han Dafu branch." Wu Haogu further made a request.
The princess of Shangqi is Han Jiayan, Han Qi's sixth son, Han Qi's fifth son, Han Zhuyan, both of whom are only in their thirties and have no daughter to marry. The rest are the eldest son, Han Zhongyan, the second son, Han Duanyan and the fourth son, Han Chunyan. Among these three branches, of course, the daughter of Han Zhongyan's family is the best.
As he spoke, Wu Haogu took out his own handwritten "Wu Haowen Photos" and handed it to Pan Xiaoyan. Pan Xiaoyan took the scroll and opened it to look at it. A very handsome young man looked even more handsome than Wu Haogu, and he also had a bit of a bookish spirit.
"That's good," Pan Xiaoyan nodded, "If I really can go to high school, I will definitely be able to match the daughter of Han Dafu. Well, I will go this for you."
"Then I'll thank you for your third brother."
...
“It’s pretty good to draw!”
That night, Pan Xiaoyan, who was sick, took "Wu Haowen Photos" to Daming Prefecture to visit Han Zhongyan.
"The person is not bad," Pan Xiaoyan smiled, "The talented man in the Imperial Academy is different from Wu Haogu. His little intelligence is used in moral articles. This subject is likely to be in high school!"
Han Zhongyan nodded, "Actually, Wu Haogu is also very smart. He is the first person in the painting at a young age. He has earned a huge family business and has a thorough understanding of the matters in the north. If he were born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, he would definitely be a capable minister in charge of affairs, but he would have lost the status of a Jinshi in our dynasty."
Wu Haogu was also a gentry family, and he was able to please the officials and princes, and his ability to govern the family looked good. If he was born in the era of aristocratic family who was reincarnated as an official, he would undoubtedly be able to become an important official. However, in the Song Dynasty, if he wanted to recommend the two prefectures, he would still have to be a civil and Jinshi.
Therefore, Wu Haogu’s future should not be very good. If this Wu Haowen really wins the Jinshi, it would be difficult for his brother Wu Haogu to become successful without becoming successful with his brother Wu Haogu’s financial resources and ability to do so!
"Main Mansion," Pan Xiaoyan coughed a few times at this time, "Do you like this Wu Erlang?"
"I can see you, but why don't you?" Han Zhongyan smiled, "But there is no hurry to do this. Now it's important to study. How about a blind date ceremony when the spring exam comes?"
"After the competition?" Pan Xiaoyan seemed unsure and asked again.
