Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 339
"Kneel down~!"

Inside the Yamen's office, Fu Tianchou, the servant of the Ministry of War, gave a heavy drink at this moment, with a stern expression and anger in his tone.

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi trembled in fright, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, lowering their heads, feeling extremely apprehensive.

It was discovered that he hadn't returned all night yesterday, so he might not be able to get away so easily today, after all, the trouble he caused this time was different from before.

On the other hand, Fu Tianchou was standing with his hands behind his back at this moment, just looking at the two daughters kneeling in front of him, he neither scolded nor scolded, but asked, "When did you sneak out last night? Where did you spend the night? Tell me the truth."

This kind of calm inquiry made Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi even more uneasy.

"Father, my daughter went out with her sister at Chenshi last night, to, to that haunted house." Fu Qingfeng lowered his head and whispered.

Haunted house?

Fu Tianchou snorted immediately; "Don't you know that you are a father? What a haunted house, it is now Li Xiuyuan's house, and your two daughters went to a man's house to spend the night in the middle of the night. You were completely defeated overnight. Once this matter gets out, will you still have the face to face others in the future? Even if you are a father, you can't lift your head up in court, then Li Xiuyuan is not in the right mind. If he has any scruples in his heart If you follow the etiquette, you will definitely not keep the two of you."

"Father, I don't blame Mr. Li for this matter. Mr. Li was having a banquet with ghosts and gods last night, and he was attacked by a villain with high martial arts skills in the second half of the night. My sister and I have been watching by the side, and we have never found a chance to leave." Fu Yuechi next to him Immediately raised his head and said.

"It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay, hmph, at this time I'm still arguing for that Li Xiuyuan." Fu Tianchou was furious again.

Fu Yuechi hurriedly lowered his head again in fright.

The two sisters knelt on the ground obediently and looked for each other.

After he, Fu Tianchou reprimanded him for a while, he couldn't help but hate iron for being weak.

His own daughter really didn't live up to it, it's not good to do something wrong, but she just went to Li Xiuyuan's house to stay overnight, although he knew that nothing happened between them yesterday, but outsiders didn't think much of it.

Moreover, if this matter spreads, not only will the reputation of her own daughter be cherished, but Li Xiuyuan will also be affected.

He also intends to train and support this Li Xiuyuan, so that he can take over his class in the future, but if he is tricked by this, it may be a question of whether he can take the palace examination.

The Jinshi who take the palace examination must first pass the character assessment, and this level is just not eligible to participate in the palace examination.

It can be said that his two daughters sneaked out recklessly this time and ruined two things for him, which made it difficult for Fu Tianchou to express his anger, and he didn't know whether to beat him or scold him.

It is the fault of the father to raise or not to teach.

At this moment, Fu Tianchou also regretted that he did not discipline his daughter well.

"Kneel down first, no one is allowed to stand up without my permission." He flicked his sleeves heavily and went out.

After leaving the door, Fu Tianchou saw the official surnamed Duan outside the door, he restrained his anger slightly, and then said, "Wen Ruo, what happened today made you laugh, my official is not strict enough to go out I am really ashamed to do such a thing that insults the family tradition, it is all my fault, I shouldn't have allowed their two daughters to practice martial arts at the beginning, but now they are not well-known in martial arts, and their temper is so wild."

After speaking, he sighed helplessly.

The civil official surnamed Duan bowed his hands and said: "Your Excellency is concerned about the country and the people. Now the situation in the government and the opposition is in turmoil, and the people of Li are in dire straits. Your Excellency let the two ladies practice martial arts because you are afraid that there will be wars in the country in the future. Your Excellency will have to put on armor and go into battle. That's why I asked the two ladies to practice martial arts, not to kill the enemy, but to have the strength to resist the enemy."

"That's right, eating the king's salary and taking care of the king's worries. This official has indeed considered it this way before, but now the two of them are becoming more and more difficult to restrain. I am busy with government affairs every day, and I am also neglecting to discipline. It's my responsibility." Fu Tianchou said.

The civil official surnamed Duan said: "My lord's righteousness is beyond the comprehension of other people, and I can only understand it, so please don't blame yourself, my lord. Besides, didn't the two young ladies cause a lot of disasters before? Your lord reprimanded me." It's enough, after all, the daughter's family is going to marry."

Fu Tianchou's expression changed: "Wen Ruo, what you said really reminded me that my daughter is not too young, and when it's time to talk about marriage, if she can marry a well-educated and reasonable family, she can also be disciplined and disciplined." , is better than continuing to let the two of them mess around like this, Wen Ruo, do you have any good suggestions?"

"It's not easy for an official to talk too much about this matter." The clerk surnamed Duan laughed.

"It's okay, I don't know much about marriage, so I can give you some advice for me." Fu Tianchou said.

The clerk surnamed Duan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then I dare to say something, isn't Li Xiuyuan an excellent candidate?"

Li Xiuyuan?
Fu Tianchou frowned: "My daughter didn't return last night because she went to Li Xiuyuan's residence. If this person has etiquette, honor and disgrace in his heart, he will definitely not leave the younger daughter and two people without returning all night. This official thinks that this person is probably thinking about it too. Not right."

"It's true that Li Xiuyuan was wrong, but he didn't take the initiative to invite the two ladies to have a tryst. Now that there is such a scandal between the two of them, why don't your lord take advantage of the scandal and make an appointment for marriage? Wouldn't your lord's worries be resolved in this way? ?” the clerk surnamed Duan asked.

"Marrying the little girl to Li Xiuyuan is the best of both worlds. Li Xiuyuan has seen it before. He is indeed handsome, talented, and has a heart. He is a capable person. It's just that this person's lack of etiquette makes me feel like a stick in my throat." Fu Tianqiu said.

The literary official surnamed Duan said: "My lord, you must know that no one is perfect in this world. This Li Xiuyuan is a son of a merchant. His ancestors have been in business for three generations, and he is not a scholarly family handed down from generation to generation. It is understandable that there are some things that are owed to etiquette, and your lord is not sorry. Do you appreciate this Li Xiuyuan's?"

Fu Tianchou nodded at this statement: "That's right, I have considered too much. I have also investigated his family background before. The family tradition is good. Although it is a merchant's family, but in Guo Bei County has a good reputation for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Besides, he is currently unmarried. Although his fame is a bit low, it will not be difficult for him to make progress in the future with his literary talents. So which of the two daughters of this official will marry him? ?”

The literary official surnamed Duan didn't answer.

Fu Tianchou didn't ask any more, but said to himself: "Although Qingfeng is older, she often leads Yuechi to make troubles. She can restrain herself a lot when she marries out of Yuechi, and marrying a daughter first Girl, this is also in line with the rules, um, let Qingfeng marry the Li family. Wait, there are many young talents in Jinling City, and it may not be necessary to choose Li Xiuyuan. Maybe there are talents who are more suitable for this official. How can you marry a daughter at will."

"Wen Ruo, how would you like to hold a literary meeting?"

"Choosing a son-in-law at the literary meeting is a beautiful thing, and the lower officials think it is feasible." The literary official surnamed Duan said.

"Then it's settled, choose a good day as soon as possible, and start the affairs of the Wenhui. It just so happens that by the way, I will also announce the matter of Enke through the affairs of the Wenhui. Well, yes, it kills two birds with one stone." Fu Tianchou said.

The literary official surnamed Duan said, "My lord, should Li Xiuyuan invite you or not?"

"There are no restrictions on the literary fair. Scholars, candidates, and Jinshi can participate. If Li Xiuyuan is interested in my little girl, he will come here. If he doesn't come, I will definitely not marry his daughter to him."

After discussing for a while, the two left together and went to the Yamen to handle government affairs.

However, what the two of them were discussing in the courtyard had already been heard by Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi in the house.

Martial arts practitioners have sharp eyes and ears, although they can't hear everything, they can hear a lot.

"Sister, sister, father is going to marry you to that Li Xiuyuan, what should we do, we won't be able to stay together in the future." Fu Yuechi pulled Fu Qingfeng beside him, looking anxious and about to cry.

At this moment, Fu Qingfeng's face was shy and blushing. She thought of the scene where Li Xiuyuan commanded ghosts and gods and fought the villains last night.

"Don't talk nonsense, my sister is married to Mr. Li, and we are still sisters, so we can stay together often."

She blushed and gave a coquettish look, but then she said: "It's just that my father has not settled this matter, it seems that he is going to choose a son-in-law at the literary meeting, and I don't know if Mr. Li will come."

Thinking of this, she was in a trance for a while, feeling both ashamed and apprehensive.
