Chapter 1042: Marriage

The sun gradually sets, the sunset rises, and the returning geese fly together.

No matter what Zhang Tianwen did in the past, at least now, Zhang Tianwen is sincerely cultivating Wu Yi. His analysis of the situation in the north, especially the analysis of the northern barbarians, is completely high-level and gives Wu Yi a new perspective.

It was still Mrs. Zhang who interrupted the conversation and arranged for the servants to serve the dishes and prepare the night banquet. There were eight dishes and one soup, which were not as good as those in the palace, but they were cooked exquisitely and matched beautifully, giving a sense of homely warmth.

However, at the night banquet, Mrs. Zhang mentioned Wu Yi's marriage again, on the grounds that Wu Yi's parents were both dead, and took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​arranging a marriage for Wu Yi.

Before, it could be said that it was personal curiosity, but now Mrs. Zhang proposed it in front of Zhang Tianwen, and she had the idea of ​​​​tying Wu Yi to the chariot completely.

Most of the daughters of the big families are collateral branches. If they can marry young talents like Wu Yi, it is a good way to continue the family.

In this life, the first time a person's fate is determined is after leaving the womb, the family conditions. This time, almost everyone cannot make their own choices. Those who can make their own choices transcend the constraints of life and death. Why should you compare with them?

The second opportunity to determine fate is marriage. Marriage is a combination of two people. For people of humble origins, it is a great opportunity for promotion. Of course, the premise is that you are good enough, otherwise everything is nonsense.

There are only a few opportunities to achieve class leap. People don't encounter them a few times in their lives. It often depends on the right time, right place and right people. Sometimes, even if you encounter it, you can't grasp it because of your own lack of strength.

It's like you travel through time and space now and become a reborn person. You know that the securities market will rise sharply in a certain year and that real estate will rise sharply in a certain period of time, but the available capital on hand is close to zero. So even if you know so much, you can't cash it out directly.

Time travel is unrealistic, but marriage can be grasped. This is visible to the naked eye. It can achieve your opportunity to leap up the class. The saying that the family is well matched has been passed down since ancient times. It is not without reason.

The upper class achieves internal class transfer through matching, but if you want to break through class solidification, you need to make a thousand times more efforts.

Wu Yi naturally understood Mrs. Zhang's thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Boy, go back and think about it!"

Not actively refusing, this is already a huge progress. Mrs. Zhang did not dare to ask for more, and said: "That's good. Marriage is a big matter, and you can't be careless. You can go and find out if there are any elders in the family and discuss it together!"

There is no difference between the elders in the family coming and not coming, Wu Yi thought in his heart, but he naturally agreed on the surface.

So, tonight's family dinner at Zhang Mansion ended here. Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue took their leave and returned to the post station.

Mrs. Zhang tried to keep him, but the emperor's reward had not been established, so Wu Yi couldn't live in Zhang Mansion now. Even visiting Zhang Tianwen today was against the rules, and then the reputation of collusion would spread.

It's just such a rule. As long as Wu Yi didn't offend others, no one would take the initiative to hold on to these. Moreover, with Zhang Tianwen's endorsement, no censor would be so ignorant of the importance of the matter.

Zhang's mansion sent a carriage to take Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue back to the post station. In front of the carriage were two horses of the same height and color. The coachman was also a veteran with more than ten years of experience, and the carriage was stable.

In the carriage, there was a loose velvet cushion woven by spring silkworms, which was soft and further reduced the bumpy feeling of the carriage.

Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue sat opposite each other. There was a small tea table in the middle, with precious teas of various kinds placed on it. Drinkers could take them by themselves. There was a small stove underneath, boiling water.

The cool breeze that blew in from time to time at night was quite soothing and gentle. But the two of them were speechless, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

"I may have to stay in Zhongdu in the next few days?" At the night banquet, as if he had said it out of his mouth, Zhang Tianwen pointed out that the emperor intended to let Wu Yi become the chief of the guards in Yongwang Mansion.

Yongwang is the emperor's legitimate son, not very old, and about the same age as Wu Yi.

What is the chief of the guards? That is the leader of Yongwang's personal army.

Giving this position to Wu Yi can be said to be a sign of great respect for Wu Yi. Originally, Wu Yi thought that Zhang Tianwen had made a mistake, but judging from his expression, he had intentionally revealed this news to Wu Yi.

If the news was intentionally revealed, then the possibility is not low, and it can even be said that it has been finalized.

Tonight, Mrs. Zhang has been trying to win over Wu Yi in her words, which can be said to be closely related to this.

So when Wu Yi said that he would stay in Zhongdu for the next period of time, it was not a lie, but a real intention.

Because of the existence of the election system of the Daji Dynasty, there is no such thing as a crown prince. No matter which prince, he needs to enter the local area to govern after he reaches adulthood, and the people will elect the final monarch.

But in any case, this Prince Yong is born by the queen and is a legitimate son. Although he is not very old, the resources he has should never be underestimated.

The so-called election system seems to be a comparison of the governance capabilities of the princes, but in fact, it cannot open up much gap. The real factor that determines the final victory or defeat is the strength behind each party.

The most important thing is that the queen is now the daughter of a northern family, that is, she is from the same faction as Zhang Tianwen. I don't know if it's because of this that Wu Yi was chosen.

If King Yong becomes the next emperor of the Daji Dynasty, then Wu Yi, who has the merit of following the dragon, will reach Zhang Tianwen's current status in the future, and there is nothing to doubt, because it is completely reasonable.

So Wu Yi will not give up this opportunity.

Gu Qingyue understood this truth and said "oh" lightly. During the night banquet, Zhang Tianwen also hinted at her reward, which was to let her inherit her father's title. At this age, she was still a woman, which might be a good way out in the eyes of others.

But for Gu Qingyue, it was not the case. If she had not chosen to cancel the engagement with the Zhang family, she could have a higher status in the future.

Gu Qingyue's request was not small, and Wu Yi understood this, so when everyone questioned her motives, Wu Yi did not say anything.

Next, Gu Qingyue, who got the title, is likely to return to the north, where her foundation is. Although she was purged by the northern barbarians, there is still a chance to rebuild. In Zhongdu, she is too weak to survive.

The final reward has not been finalized. What we know now is what Zhang Tianwen said. Although it is very credible, it is still not possible to think that it will be safe from now on.

There are variables when there is no certainty, not to mention that even certain things will change, let alone now.

Wu Yi wanted to look forward to the future, but the foundation was unstable, so he had to end the conversation. He couldn't make any promises now! There was no basis for exchanging interests.
