The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Seeing Xuanyuan take the initiative to mention that he wanted to examine the suitable candidates among the new Jinshi, although Mrs. Xie was a little puzzled as to why his attitude changed so quickly, she thought that Xie Zhan also hoped that his sister Xie Tian could get married and not have to live in seclusion in the boudoir, so she did not doubt anything and just nodded happily.

For Xuanyuan's initiative to mention this matter, both Prime Minister Xie and Mrs. Xie were very happy. This was exactly the purpose of their asking Xuanyuan to come, and they originally planned to discuss this matter. In their view, Xuanyuan's enthusiasm was a manifestation of the deep brotherly love between Xie Zhan and Xie Tian. Xie Tian only had Xie Zhan as a brother, and they had a very close relationship, which made them feel relieved. They did not have to worry that after the two of them left, Xie Tian would be left unattended and her life would not be smooth because she married into a poor family.

"Father has chosen three people in total, namely Kong Deyuan, the second son of the Kong family, a family of scholars, Yan Daoping, the son of a large landlord in Jiangnan, and Chen Lansheng, a poor boy whose parents in Qishan had both passed away." Prime Minister Xie carefully said all the three candidates he had chosen.

The elegant prime minister frowned slightly, with a bit of suspicion between his eyebrows, but reluctantly praised: "These three are still very good. Not only are they very young, but they are also talented and have a promising future. I think the three people should be on the list this time. They are new Jinshi, and after asking around, I found that these three have never married or engaged."

In fact, if Prime Minister Xie were to be honest, he actually didn't think much of these three people. He was not particularly satisfied with any of the three candidates. However, among the hundreds of new Jinshi in this special examination, some were either too old, with many in their thirties, forties, or even fifties or sixties, or had already married and had children, and were not good matches. Now these three are already the tallest among the short ones, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, there is nothing they can do.

Why did Prime Minister Xie look down on these three candidates? It was because although Kong Deyuan was the second son of the current patriarch of the Qingliu family, the Kong family, he was only a concubine's son. In Prime Minister Xie's heart, he was not worthy of his own daughter. Although Yan Daoping had not married, he had been engaged, but the woman died of illness before the marriage - that was fine, after all, Xie Tian was in the same situation. However, what made Prime Minister Xie frown was that Yan Daoping already had a concubine in his house, but he had not yet found out whether he had any children.

As for Chen Lansheng, both his parents were dead, and it was not known whether he was too strong. Moreover, his family was really poor and his starting point was really too low. Not only did he have no one to rely on at home, but he also had no one to rely on in the court. If Xie Tian married him, it would be a low marriage among low marriages - unless Chen Lansheng achieved an extremely dazzling ranking in this imperial examination, Prime Minister Xie really did not intend to consider him.

"Although I have conducted some preliminary investigations on their situations, this investigation is rather one-sided and cannot guarantee its accuracy. Zhan'er, you should examine them carefully to see if there is anyone among these three who would be a good son-in-law." Prime Minister Xie's worry was evident in his words. "I really shouldn't tell you too much about your sister's marriage. This matter concerns Tian'er's life, and I don't feel comfortable letting others inquire about it."

More importantly, the aristocratic families of Daning have never intermarried with the commoners. Now that Prime Minister Xie plans to recruit a landlord or a poor scholar as a son-in-law, he should be more careful and investigate the matter first, so as not to turn a good marriage into a joke.

Xuan Yuan nodded slightly, and said in a clear voice and light tone: "I know, I will carefully examine these three people." After a pause, after a moment of silence, Xuan Yuan said again, "This matter is related to Tian'er's lifelong happiness. Why not ask her what she thinks? If she has no intention of getting married and feels comfortable and happy like this, can't we support her for a lifetime and take care of her for a lifetime?"

In Xuan Yuan's view, the three people selected by Prime Minister Xie, who is the tallest among the short men, are not suitable candidates. Instead of letting Xie Tian choose one of these three people, it is better to listen to her own wishes. Born in the world of cultivation and having experienced so many strange worlds, Xuan Yuan does not think that women can only be happy in this life by getting married and having children.

As long as Xie Tian is happy and happy, it doesn't matter how she gets happiness. The Xie family can be Xie Tian's backer and let her stand up straight in her husband's family. Can't she live a life of freedom and let her live the way she wants?

Regardless of whether Xie Tian is willing to get married or has another way of living, Xie Zhan will agree. Although such an attitude and way of doing things is a bit advanced in this ancient feudal society, Xuan Yuan believes that Xie Zhan has enough ability to protect Xie Tian, ​​and he is willing to protect Xie Tian in this way.

"This..." After hearing Xuanyuan's words, both Xie's father and mother showed a hint of hesitation on their faces, with a bit of astonishment. Finally, Xie's mother frowned slightly and said softly, "How could Tian'er not want to get married? She must be willing. When she was engaged to the young master of the Lin family, she was very concerned about the annual gifts sent to the Lin family every year. She also prepared gifts for the young master of the Lin family by hand. I think she also looks forward to a life of equality after marriage." "Have you ever asked her in person?" Xuanyuan spoke, interrupting Xie's mother's words in a cold voice. His expression was indifferent, and his eyebrows were as cold as frost and ice. "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? Mother should find an opportunity to ask her. Since father and mother are willing to marry into a poor family for Tian'er's future happiness, then what's wrong with fulfilling her wish?"

After Prime Minister Xie and Madam Xie fell into thoughtful silence, Xuan Yuan nodded to them. His wide long sleeves embroidered with delicate and elegant cloud patterns gently brushed his sleeves. He stood up, with his long body standing tall and his sleeves The robe is in tatters, and the celestial spirit is as clear as a banished immortal: "I will carefully examine these three people, but in the end I chose them out of urgency. None of these three people is the best choice, or I choose the best one. It’s just a makeshift, why bother?”

Xuan Yuan's words were quite tactful, but the meaning in his words that "even if the best one is selected from the three people selected from the garbage heap is still an incompetent person selected from the garbage heap" was beyond words, which made Xie The Prime Minister and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but look at each other, and some couldn't react.

If others said this, they would be arrogant and contemptuous of the talented people in the world, and they would be spurned and ridiculed. But if Xie Zhan speaks for himself, he does have the right to look down on and disdain his peers. After all, he is the proud man who truly stands at the top. He is already at the top. He treats his peers and even his superiors. They can only accept the words of young celebrities in their teens. Others cannot say such things as arrogant, they can only sigh with confidence.

However, such wild and unrestrained words are not something that their brilliant and gentle son could say. Xie Zhan has great talent, but has a gentle and light temperament, so he would not think so in his heart. , let alone say such words, Prime Minister Xie and Mrs. Xie looked at each other for a while, and at the same time they felt that it was probably their son who couldn't bear his sister to marry these people, and that was why he was so rude.

"Your mother and I will think it over carefully." Prime Minister Xie stroked his beard and had to admit that Xuan Yuan's words touched the soft spot in his heart and spoke to his heart. For his only daughter, whom he loved and loved as much as the apple of his eye, the husband he had originally chosen for her was the legitimate son of the Lin family, a century-old family. He was talented and noble, and he was also as talented and promising as a jade tree.

Such a person was the husband chosen by Prime Minister Xie for his only daughter. He just thought that they were a good match, they had known each other since childhood, they were both from aristocratic families, and they had read poetry and books thoroughly, so they both had a poetic spirit. People who are married will definitely have a common language, and their married life will be extremely harmonious. But who would have thought that the young master of the Lin family was so unlucky that he fell ill due to a cold in spring.

After saying goodbye to Xie's father and Xie's mother, Xuan Yuan did not go to see Xie Tian, ​​the key figure involved in Xie Zhan's wish, but left Xie's house directly.

"Go and arrange for a boy to copy back the list after the list is released." Xuan Yuan said casually in an indifferent tone. The long follower who had been following him in brown cotton clothes suddenly responded softly, made a gesture and then turned around. Someone went down to arrange this.

This long-term follower has been with Xie Zhan for ten years and can be said to be Xie Zhan's confidant. At this time, he looked at Xuan Yuan's expression and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Young Master, are you going to attend the Hanlin Academy? Or? Is it time to make friends with those three people and investigate them? "As Xie Zhan's confidant, he never left the room when the Xie family members were talking before, and the same was true for Butler Xie and Mrs. Xie's confidants.

"There is no need to examine anything." A cold smile appeared on the corners of Xuan Yuan's lips. He clasped his hands behind his back, and his wide and elegant long sleeves flowed down, fluttering and swaying as he walked forward slowly. Yuan stepped out of the gate of Xie's Mansion, without blinking, and said in a cold and calm manner, "These three are not suitable, do you understand what I mean?"

Chang Sui, who was wearing a brown cotton coat, had a tactful expression on his face, but immediately lowered his head and whispered in a calm and respectful tone: "I understand what you mean, young master. I will investigate carefully and find out the true identity of these three people." The detailed information will be submitted to the young master, as well as the master and his wife." He heard the elegant meaning of the song and emphasized the word "the most authentic".

His long eyebrows were raised, and a stern look appeared between his eyebrows. Xuan Yuan's voice was as cold as ice jade, extremely awe-inspiring, and his tone was even more disdainful: "I don't have the hobby of looking for my brother-in-law from the garbage heap. , these three people..." He finally couldn't help but sneered, "None of them can be called a good match."

With a cold look on his face, Xuan Yuan said in a cold tone: "Let's go, let's go to the Tianshi Taoist Temple outside the city." He wanted to ask them whether they would accept monsters or not.

Chen Lansheng was able to successfully pass the exam, and Xue Ying and those monsters worked hard in secret. How can such a person qualify to enjoy the glory of being the top pick in high school? Xuan Yuan wanted to knock him down from his high place and let him return to his original form and become the worthless poor boy again.
