Chapter 1272 Passionate Son (3)

?Chapter 1272 Passionate son (3)

Yu Congpei came for Pang Jinglun. This is the prince's teacher, if he can worship under his name, he will be the junior of several princes. When I go to the capital, I can take this opportunity to catch up with the prince. This is of great benefit to his future.

Cao Fengyu is also a smart person and knows Yu Congpei's purpose. Maybe he would use this to curry favor with the governor, so he naturally tried his best to help.

In the evening, a servant came to invite Yu Congpei: "Master Yu, Mr. Pang has returned from outside, our master invites you to come over."

Yu Congpei said, "Wait a moment." When he went to see Mr. Pang, he had to tidy up his appearance. If the first impression is not good, then the matter of apprenticeship will definitely be messed up.

Hearing that Cao Fengyu brought people over, Pang Jinglun frowned and said, "Please come in!"

Cao Fengyu brought Yu Congpei in and introduced Pang Jinglun with a smile.

If brother Xuan didn't insist on staying here, he wouldn't have to deal with a hypocrite like Cao Fengyu. It made his friend very puzzled, heck, it's really hard to say.

I was upset in my heart, but it didn't show half of it on my face.

Yu Congpei gave a respectful blessing, and then said polite words to Pang Jinglun with reverent eyes.

Pang Jinglun smiled and said, "Young Master Yu, you are being polite."

Hearing that Yu Congpei came to ask for advice, Pang Jinglun said with a smile: "I haven't touched a book for more than 20 years, and I don't care about court affairs. If I teach you, I will miss you." Obviously, Yu Congpei is going to take the imperial examination to become an official.

Yu Congpei obviously didn't believe it, and his attitude became more and more sincere. He didn't ask for a teacher but only asked Mr. Pang for advice. It's a pity that Pang Jinglun always said one sentence from the beginning to the end.

Although Pang Jinglun is well-versed in the world, he is not willing to deal with Yu Congpei and Cao Fengyu. Immediately, he sent the two of them away on the grounds that he needed a rest after running around for a day.

Brother Xuan liked to associate with young talents like Yu Congpei very much, so he sent him out condescendingly.

Yu Congpei didn't know Brother Xuan's identity at this time, but he was very polite to him.

Cao Fengyu wanted to host a banquet for Yu Congpei, and when he saw that the two were talking happily, he invited Brother Xuan to have a drink.

Brother Xuan agreed without any hesitation. It's a pity that he can't drink too much, and he passed out after drinking two glasses.

Ah San helped him go back to rest.

Yu Congpei can drink quite well, and he is still sober after the banquet. Back at the place where he lived, he washed his face and asked, "Has Tian Shan come back?"

"Not yet, probably soon."

Tian Shan just came back after taking a bath, and told Yu Congpei what he had heard: "Young Master, the surname of Young Master Yu is Yu Mingda, and he is the son of the head priest of the Ministry of Rites. Young Master, the Yu family has four sons and four daughters. Thirdly, I heard from the servants of the Cao family that Yu Da is very talented in reading and has studied in Baitan Academy for two years, but he doesn't want to take the scientific examination, and I haven't found out why."

Suspicion flashed across Yu Congpei's face: "Is the information I found accurate?"

Tian Shan said: "I asked three people, and they all said so."

"Looking at his behavior, he doesn't look like he came from a small family." This kind of thing is engraved in his bones, and he can't hide it even if he wants to. Although Yu Da was wearing muslin clothes, his meal etiquette made him feel that he should be a nobleman of a wealthy family.

Tian Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Master, do you suspect that Yu Da has a background? But as far as I know, there isn't any high-ranking family named Yu in the capital."

Yu Congpei laughed and said, "You mean, do you know who are the big families in the capital?" Although his father was not a young official in Shu, he was not enough to see in the capital.

Tian Shan said: "My lord, this Yu Da should have no background. The servants of Cao's mansion said that he is extremely stingy, and it's okay to give them things without rewards, not even tea and cakes. Moreover, Yu Da still eats leftovers Leftovers.” For people who have been hungry and poor, eating leftovers is really nothing.

Yu Congpei frowned: "But he's well-bred, it's not something you can just pretend."

Tian Shan was very intelligent, and said in a low voice, "My lord,

Maybe the Yu family was a big family in the previous dynasty. Or, what else is hidden! Otherwise, why not take the imperial examination? "

"If there is a problem with the identity of their family, then his father would not be an official in the court." Yu Congpei felt that this was rather strange, thought for a while and asked: "Have you ever found out why Mr. Pang accepted him as a student? "Pang Jinglun is the prince's teacher, and the threshold for accepting apprentices must be very high. Since Yu Da is under Pang Jinglun's school, he must have his own merits.

Tian Shan said: "It is said that Yu Da's grandfather and Mr. Pang were close friends, and Yu Da's wish since childhood was to travel around the world. When he was twelve years old, he worshiped Mr. Pang as his master. This time he heard that Mr. Pang came to Sichuan. , and he followed."

Yu Congpei hesitated and asked, "What does Yu Da usually like?" He still felt that Yu Da was not like an ordinary son of an official family.

"I just like traveling in mountains and rivers, reciting poems and composing Fu. I don't have any other hobbies." After a pause, Tian Shan lowered his voice and said, "It is said that this person is infatuated with the third girl of the Cao family." He spent ten taels of silver to inquire about it. The news should be true.

"The third girl from the Cao family?"

Tian Shan smiled and said, "The third girl of the Cao family was born of Aunt Yun, the concubine of the prefect of Cao, and she is very much loved by the prefect of Cao. I heard that this girl is not only beautiful, but also can play the piano and paint. She is a talented woman. As for whether it is true, I have not verified it yet." Pass."

Hearing this, Yu Congpei smiled: "What kind of talent can a concubine from the magistrate of Mianzhou have?" In all likelihood, it was a bragging.

It's not that Yu Congpei is prejudiced against concubines, but that under the influence of Yuxi, the Ming Dynasty puts a lot of emphasis on concubines and despise concubines. Even if Cao Zhifu favors the concubine, it is impossible for her to be the housekeeper. Otherwise, if the censor impeaches his concubine and kills his wife, Wu Shamao will not be guaranteed. Since she is the housekeeper of the wife, it is naturally impossible to ask a famous teacher to teach the concubine daughter. Those who can be self-taught are rare. Yu Congpei didn't think the third girl from the Cao family had any extraordinary talent.

After thinking for a while, Yu Congpei said, "Take an opportunity to get some words from Yu Da's entourage, and see what he says?" The words of Cao's servants must have some water in them. The credibility of Yu Da's followers is high.

Tian Shan nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, on the morning of the second day, Yu Congpei happened to meet the third girl from the Cao family who was rumored to be both talented and beautiful in the small garden of the Cao Mansion.

Yu Congpei was wearing a bright ground gauze collar robe with emerald blue folded branch tea pattern, and a jade belt with silk flower and bird pattern, with fair features and a clear appearance. Holding a fine ink-colored landscape folding fan in his hand, he walks leisurely and casually in a suave manner.

Seeing Yu Congpei take two steps back, Cao Yiqiu looked very surprised.

Her servant girl was also smart, and said with a cold face, "Who are you? This is the inner courtyard of the Cao family. How did you get in?" Naturally, it is impossible for a decent girl to meet the young master in the front yard. Anyone with a little brain will feel that something is wrong.

Yu Congpei smiled at Cao Yiqiu: "My surname is Yu, and I am the second in my family." As he spoke, he looked at Cao Yiqiu.

Cao Yiqiu was wearing a light blue dress today, with a white gauze over it, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. Curved willow eyebrows, a pair of black crystal-like big eyes are shining brightly, looking forward to life and arousing affection, pink cheeks are slightly flushed, melon-seeded face is crystal clear like jade, and smooth snow muscles are like ice and snow.

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the white veil that Cao Yiqiu was covering outside fluttered. The whole person seems to be floating up, like a fairy descending from the earth.

Even Yu Congpei, who was used to seeing too many beauties and being accosted by women, was dumbfounded for a while.

Cao Yiqiu blushed, saluted Yu Congpei, and left quickly with her maid.

"What a beauty." At least among the girls he saw, there was no other girl who was more agile and beautiful than this. No wonder Yu Da misses these three girls. It's him, all...

Thinking of this, Yu Congpei immediately suppressed the thought that just came to his mind. What he wants to marry in the future must be a lady from a famous family who can help him, how can she be a concubine from a magistrate.

Naturally, this matter cannot escape Mrs. Cao and Cao Yiting, who are the directors of the housekeeper.

"Mother, take care of it! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be dragged down by him." As long as Cao Yiting keeps going like this, something will happen sooner or later. At that time, it will be difficult for the girls of the Cao family to get married. Although she is engaged and is a well-known uncle's family, she will definitely be affected.

Mrs. Cao smiled and said: "I'm going to take care of it, your father will protect you again. Besides, if Cao Yiqiu can marry the second young master of the Yu family, it can also bring benefits to your father, how can I stop it?" Not only You can't stop it, you have to help Cao Yiqiu marry Yu Congpei smoothly. No, to be precise, let Cao Yiqiu be Yu Congpei's concubine.

Only Aunt Yun and Cao Yiqiu are stupid enough to think that as long as Yu Congpei likes Cao Yiqiu, she can marry Yu's family.

"Mother, the second young master of the Yu family is a descendant and is still a candidate. How could Mrs. Yu let him marry Cao Yiqiu? If something happens, it will be our family who will be ashamed." So what if Yu Congpei likes Cao Yiqiu? Marriage is a major event, and in the end it is the words of the matchmaker.

Mrs. Cao said indifferently: "Your father is not afraid of shame, why are you so careless?" status. Otherwise, she would have been ridden on the head by Aunt Yun. Therefore, as long as it does not offend her, Mrs. Cao is not willing to take care of what Aunt Yun, mother and son do.

Cao Yiting felt that her mother's attitude was not good: "Mom, if something embarrassing happens, my brother and I will also be affected."

"Your elder brother married a wife and had children, and now he is an official outside. You are engaged and will get married at the end of the year. No matter what, it will not affect you." They all like her daughter, so no matter what Cao Yiqiu does, it won't affect her.

Cao Yiting didn't approve of Mrs. Cao's behavior, but she knew that her mother had resentment and hatred in her heart, so she didn't say much. In order not to make mother sad, she is not going to intervene.
