The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Hai and Feng Zhiyuan carried the gifts, followed the family members of the Wei State Mansion, and walked into the compound.

Walking through the long corridor, enjoying the scenery in the Wei State Mansion, the garden, the rockery, the lotus pond have their own characteristics, and the Suzhou garden has a fight, it is really a big family!

The family and maids of the Xu family of the Wei State Mansion come and go, carrying all kinds of pastries and dishes, very busy.

Walking into the large living room, there were already many officials and gentry sitting in the living room, most of them men. Only the women served on the side, all of them were maids.

Zheng Hai and Feng Zhiyuan were arranged in a corner near the door, and the most distinguished and important front seats in the room were all senior officials in the court.

On the first seat in the middle of the hall sat Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and next to Xu Huizu sat Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao.

Zheng Hai looked at the graceful and luxurious Li Jinglong, who was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a dignified appearance and elegant manners.

Li Jinglong is tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he looks like a scholar, and he feels very elegant. His shallow eyebrows made him look less like a military general with five major and three thick, gentle and elegant, more like a Confucian general.

Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, looked at Li Jinglong and asked, "Duke Cao Guo, I don't know what your intention is when you came here today?" "I

heard that Brother Huizu's sister held a ceremony today and came to congratulate her. Li Jinglong replied lightly.

"Just congratulations?" Xu Huizu looked at Li Jinglong, with some doubt in his eyes.

Li Jinglong got up gently, straightened his sleeves, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Grandbrother Hui, if Grandbrother Hui doesn't object, I'm here to propose." I begged to marry Sister Ling, our two families became in-laws, I don't know what Brother Hui Zu thinks?"

"No! Big brother, I can't promise him!" Xu

Zengshou walked into the house, walked quickly to Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu, and turned his head to look at Li Jinglong: "You already have a wife and children at home, and you still want to marry my sister, you are wishful thinking!" Li Jinglong turned his face to look at Xu Zengshou

and said calmly: " Longevity, I have a wife and a daughter in my family, but if Sister Ling is willing to marry me, I am willing to make Sister Ling the main room and never wronged her. I hope you two will think about it. "

Big brother, the third sister is still young, for the sake of her happiness, I hope that the eldest brother will not be early and make a decision carefully. Let's ask the third sister first!" Xu

Zengshou ignored Li Jinglong and stared directly at Xu Huizu who was sitting in the middle of the lobby.

"Yes, I have to see what Miss Xu San means. My son is also an instrument talent, and he is still unmarried, Wei Guogong might as well ..."

"Wei Guogong, our son is not bad, and he must be a jinshi in this year's scientific examination." When the time comes, we will marry Miss Xu San, and our two families will be more suitable!"

the other guests sitting in the hall got up one after another and recommended their sons.

The room was noisy, Xu Huizu sat quietly, and did not say anything, just quietly listened to the introductions of each family.

In a corner of the room, Zheng Hai watched quietly and listened to everyone's words. He didn't say anything, he still sat still.

Feng Zhiyuan, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, sat next to Zheng Hai and whispered to Zheng Hai: "Brother Zheng, why don't you show it? So many people have come to rob Miss Xu San with you." You can't look at her and be snatched away!"

"If I can do it, I'll go up." Zheng Hai glanced at Li Jinglong in the crowd, turned his head to Feng Zhiyuan and said: "However, if I want to talk nonsense with these civil officials and military generals, I am really not good at it!"

Zheng Hai shook his head and said: "I can't compare with them, in terms of family background, background, and official position, I can't compare with them." Therefore, I will not compare these with them.

I don't have the advantages they have, but they don't have the advantages I have!" Feng Zhiyuan was a little curious: Why is Zheng Hai so confident this time?

Feng Zhiyuan asked: "Brother Zheng, what advantages do you have, they don't have them?"

Zheng Hai smiled: "Just a little, Xu Miaojin likes me."

"Brother Zheng, what kind of advantage is this? Even if she likes you, what if a woman marries, she has to listen to her parents." The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker. That's the key!"

Isn't the most important thing about the mutual affection?" Zheng Hai looked at Feng Zhiyuan with some surprise.

"Brother Zheng, you are wrong! Since ancient times, the most important thing for a woman to marry is the order of her parents.

Feng Zhiyuan saw that Zheng Hai was stunned and didn't speak, and explained: "Now, the old country has passed away, and the head of the Xu family is Xu Huizu. The eldest brother is like a father, and Miss Xu San's marriage depends on the words of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei. Brother Zheng, don't be confused!" Zheng

Hai was silent and exhaled deeply.

I forgot that Da Ming is not free to fall in love.

These two happy free marriages are hard to come by

! However, this hall full of high-ranking officials, I really can't look at one of the six grades and 100 households! What should I do?

While Zheng Hai was pondering, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong spoke again:

"Brother Hui, you are the Duke of the Kingdom, and I am also the Duke of the Kingdom. If the two of us marry, then the position of our two families will be more secure. Ling Mei marries me, and I will not let me down! I can guarantee here that Ling Mei will be the main family, and will not marry other women in the future..."

"Big brother, you can't listen to him! When will our Wei State Mansion need to marry others to consolidate our position. We can't sacrifice the happiness of the third sister. Big brother, don't act arbitrarily. Xu Zengshou spoke out again.

"Yes, Duke Wei, you can't act arbitrarily. It's better to let Miss Miaojin come out and listen to her opinion. Perhaps, she prefers our Fang family.

"No, she might like our Zhang family more..."

"Wei Guogong, you are talking, we are all waiting to see Miss Xu Miaojin." Now that she's done with the ritual, it's better to wait for her to come over and ask her what she means. All

the big officials in the room were against Li Jinglong, but their official positions and status were not as high as Li Jinglong's, so they had to pin their hopes on Xu Miaojin himself.

"Big brother, they're right! However, listen to the third sister's own thoughts!" Xu Zengshou tried every means to fight for opportunities for Xu Miaojin.

Xu Huizu glanced at the adults in the hall, and suddenly saw two people sitting quietly in a corner.

He recognized Zheng Hai, the Jinyi guard, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Okay! Then let the sister come to meet the adults and see what she thinks."

"Big brother, I'll invite the third sister!" Xu

Zengshou glanced at Zheng Hai next to the door before leaving, and it was very meaningful.

Zheng Hai turned his head to look at the people sitting in the hall, and suddenly found that Xu Huizu was staring at him.

"Who are you on the other side of the door, why are you sitting there and not talking?"

Xu Huizu's words diverted everyone's attention from the door, and everyone looked at Zheng Hai and Feng Zhiyuan.

"Feng Zhiyuan, the guard of Xia Jinyi, is to accompany us to propose marriage on behalf of the commander Zheng Hai, and our commander Zheng is here to ask to marry Miss Xu San. "

Jinyiwei, are they Jinyiwei?" some officials whispered in private.

Feng Zhiyuan was the first to get up and introduced to everyone in the room: "This is Zheng Hai, the acting commander of our Jinyi Guard. "

In Xia Zheng Hai, Jinyi Wei 100 households, specially came to Wei Guogong to marry Xu Miaojin girl, Wangguo Gong..."

Li Jinglong got up and laughed at Zheng Haidao: "Even you

, a small hundred households, dare to come to the door to marry Miss Xu San, what a joke!" "Haha! That's it! A small hundred households dare to rob us, it's really funny!" Zheng

Hai is neither humble nor arrogant:" Although my identity is not as good as you, in terms of qualifications and potential, I am indeed much better than your family Linglang. Even if it is the Duke of the Kingdom, I, Zheng Hai, may not be able to be

the Duke of the Kingdom in the future...""Hahahaha! Have you heard? He said that he can be the Duke of the Kingdom even if he is a brocade guard!" Li Jinglong got up gracefully and said to everyone: "Do you believe it?"

"I really don't know what to do

!" "Ignorant child

!" "It's funny!Hahahaha!"

Li Jinglong was calm, looked at Zheng Hai with a proud face, and said with a smile: "You don't even understand the promotion of Jinyiwei's official rank, then let me tell you, even the official rank of Jinyiwei's commander is only a third grade! Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone laughed at Zheng Hai's ignorance, and everyone in the room laughed.

Zheng Hai ignored everyone's ridicule. He got up and saluted Wei Guogong and said, "Wei Guogong, I believe that the person Ling Mei wants

to marry the most is me!" Li Jinglong laughed again: "This kid is really a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth! This kind of thing can be said..."

Zheng Hai is not wrong! I just want to marry him!" Xu

Miaojin's voice came from outside the door.
