$385, Dancing Elephant Year, Consider Getting Married (Seeking Full Order)

The elegant girl holding the book heard this, and two clouds rose on her cheeks for no reason. She said angrily: "Yi An Jushi, you are teasing me again. Tongzilang is only seven years old in age, far behind me. I am five or six years older than him. Don't say I am willing, Tongzilang and his parents will not agree. Google search to read"

Tongzilang, a title given to young people who are proficient in Confucian classics during the Han and Wei dynasties.

The child prodigy is also called Tongzike, and the boy who passed the imperial examination can also be called Tongzilang.

"Then do you agree, Mr. Bai?"

Li Qingzhao turned around and asked Bai Gui again, smiling.

"My mother said that if a girl is one year older, she will hold a golden rooster, if she is two years older, she will hold a jar full of gold, if she is three years older, she will hold a gold brick, if she is four years older, she will have good fortune and longevity, if she is five years older, she will be better than her mother, if she is six years older, she will not be happy enough..."

"If a girl is thirty years older, she will give away the country, if she is three hundred years older, she will give away elixirs. If a girl is three thousand years older, she will be among the immortals."

Bai Gui did not say whether he was willing or not, but just said this jingle.

He would not care too much whether he was engaged to Tang Wan or someone else. However, Tang Wan in front of him was as beautiful as an orchid and as talented as a fairy. Bai Gui would not deliberately refuse to be engaged to her.

As for stealing Lu You's corner, that was nothing.

Anyway, Tang Wan would still be Lu You's ex-wife in the future. Lu You, a mama's boy and a heartless man, divorced Tang Wan because he believed his mother's words that Tang Wan was destined to be a bad wife. In feudal society, the consequences of divorce for women were disastrous. Tang Wan was still waiting for Lu You for two years, but Lu You had remarried and married Wang's daughter and even had a child.

As a last resort, the Tang family married Tang Wan to Zhao Shicheng, a member of the Zhao Song clan.

Once, when visiting Shen Garden, Lu You met Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng.

In theory, parting ways and not disturbing each other is the greatest courtesy to each other. But who would have thought that Lu You wrote Chai Tou Feng and hung it on the wall of Shen Garden to commemorate his ex-wife Tang Wan. Once this happened, even if Zhao Shicheng didn't care, with Lu You's reputation, people would definitely criticize him.

Five years later, Tang Wan revisited her hometown and wrote a poem "Chai Tou Feng·The World is Thin". Then, in the autumn of the same year, she died of depression at the age of 35.

In addition, Tang Wan was only twelve or thirteen years old at the moment, and she was just beginning to fall in love. She and Lu You were just cousins ​​who were close to each other, and there was no love at all.

As soon as the words fell.

Everyone in the pavilion burst into laughter.

Bai Gui's words were the most powerful rebuttal to what Tang Wan said.

His family didn't mind getting engaged to an older woman.

In later generations, most men married women who were a few years younger than themselves, but in fact, in ancient times, marrying women who were older than themselves was common.

For example, the Yi'an Jushi Li Qingzhao in front of us is three years older than her husband Zhao Mingcheng.

"A woman who is thirty years older than her will be offered the country. A woman who is thirty years older than her will be offered the elixir of immortality. A woman who is thirty thousand years older will be among the immortals."

"I don't know who taught you that."

Li Qingzhao felt that this sentence was quite interesting and muttered a few words.

"Offering the country is a taboo, but there was no literary inquisition at that time. Bai Gui was a boy, so it was no big deal to say this sentence. She also cursed "I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the country", and it was self-evident who this sentence referred to.

As for Bai Gui saying that these words were said by his mother, in her opinion, this was just an excuse.

"Seeing a leaf can tell the autumn, and seeing the leopard in the tube, only such a clever boy can say this jingle.

In the Song Dynasty, the status of the literati was not low.

Zhao Song was the real emperor and the literati ruled the world together.

Everyone turned their eyes to Tang Wan again to see how Tang Wan would respond to this sentence.

Such clever responses are also the fun of the literary gathering.

"The boy is willing now, but he will probably think I am too old when he grows up. When the boy reaches the age of dancing elephants, if he still wants Nunu, I will agree."

Tang Wan had no choice but to retreat.

Her words were very clever. She did not directly say that Bai Gui was a child and that her words should not be taken seriously, but said that she would talk about this matter when Bai Gui reached the age of dancing elephants.

"The Book of Rites: Internal Regulations" says: "When a child grows up, he dances with elephants and learns archery and charioteering." The commentary says: "When a child grows up, he dances with elephants and learns archery and charioteering."

The age of dancing elephants is a fifteen-year-old child.

Under ten years old is a child.

"Tang Wan said this, what do you think of Bai's son?"

Li Qingzhao asked.

This has changed from the initial laughter to a verbal confrontation between Bai Gui and Tang Wan to see who can win.

Of course, it is not a debate, but just a little fun during this visit to Shen Garden.

It's just a literary interest.

Bai Gui pondered for a moment and replied, "If I can marry A Jiao, I will keep her in a golden house."

Tang Wan said that he was young and his words were not reliable. He directly quoted the words of Emperor Xiaowu of Han, Liu Che. Liu Che was five years old at the time. Chen A Jiao, who was four years older than him, said that he was willing to keep her in a golden house. Although this golden house hiding a beauty could not be well-started and well-ended, Liu Che did fulfill his promise.

Similarly, another meaning is that although Lu Fangweng is your childhood sweetheart, who knows if he is a heartless man like Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.

In fact... Bai Gui is not Tang Wan, but compared with the fact that girls change eighteen times when they grow up, it is better for him to marry a person who does not know what he will look like in the future. Besides, Tang Wan has not agreed to it now..., and he went to pursue her, just to use this as an excuse to postpone his marriage for a few years.

This is a good reason.

A gentleman loves a beautiful lady.

He is a virgin, and he will definitely not like ordinary women. It is understandable that he likes talented women.

"What a clever response."

Everyone praised softly.

When Bai Gui came in just now, the first thing Li Qingzhao said was about Tang Wan and his cousin's marriage. Now Bai Gui answered with this allusion, which shows his delicacy.

Now that the Lu family is hesitant and indecisive about the engagement, it can be seen that Tang Wan's situation when she marries into the Lu family in the future.

And because Bai Gui is young, others will not blame him and think that he is messing up other people's good things. Besides, now Li Qingzhao is "proposing marriage" for Bai Gui and competing for the engagement object. Everyone will only find it interesting, and no one will jump out to spoil the mood and accuse him.

Tang Wan: "..."

This time she looked at Bai Gui again seriously.

With red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he is a beautiful boy at first glance, with a romantic and elegant demeanor, and a calm demeanor that ordinary children cannot see, like a little adult.

She withdrew her contempt.

How can a child prodigy who can pass the child prodigy exam be the same as the boys seen in the streets? He must have his own extraordinary characteristics.

"Since you are so determined, then I will..."

Tang Wan hesitated, paused for a while, and said, "I will do as you say."

She lost this verbal battle.

Since... I really can't think of any rebuttal, I might as well back off a little. She doesn't believe that even if Bai Gui is more mature than ordinary people, he may not really go with the flow and get engaged to her directly.

Flirting with Bai Gui, a boy, will not affect her reputation.

"This..."

Bai Gui's face froze slightly.

Although he wanted to steal Lu You's girlfriend, he thought that the possibility of success was not great. Those words just came out of his mouth, but he didn't expect that Tang Wan actually agreed.

However, when he looked up and saw Tang Wan's teasing expression, he guessed most of it.

"Since Miss Tang is willing to agree..."

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Bai Gui replied calmly.

This is not his first marriage, so he doesn't have any psychological burden. He came to Shenyuan to keep the appointment with the idea of ​​seeing Yi An Jushi and playing with the world.
