Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1169 Iceman Mansion

New Year's Eve passed like this.

Early the next morning, something about the blind date meeting last night spread in Chang'an City.

"Have you heard that last night, as soon as Mr. Cheng Chumo came out, someone turned off the lights. What do you think these girls think?"

"Hey, if you don't like him, it's not like you don't know what Cheng Chumo looks like."

"But it's all good. Cheng Chumo chose Miss Song Xiaoyou in the end, and she can be regarded as a famous flower to follow, but the high performance, hehe, all the lights were turned off as soon as he appeared on the stage."

"That's what he deserves. Don't you know what kind of virtue Gao fulfills? He is simply a scum. No one will be happy if he marries him."

"That's right, that's right, who wants to marry a person like him."

"However, there are good ones too. Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Wen are two people who everyone loves."

"That's right, I don't even look at who they are. They have to have their appearance, their figure, and their family background is the key. Who wouldn't want to marry their daughter to such a person?"

"........."

The people talked a lot, some envied Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Wen, and some made fun of Gao Xing.

When these things spread to Gao's mansion, Gao Xing was naturally very angry, wishing he could rush out and kill all those who talked about him.

But everyone was saying that he was helpless.

On New Year's Day, it's a day to visit friends.

As soon as Qin Tian got up, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo came.

"Brother Qin, it's really thanks to your idea that I can not marry the princess this time." Cheng Chu smiled silently. To him, as long as he doesn't marry the princess, it doesn't seem to make much difference who he marries, anyway. Song Xiaoyou, you can still take concubines in the future.

"Brother Qin, do you think we should visit the future father-in-law today?"

"Yeah, we are very entangled. You said that although we have confirmed the relationship now, but there is no matchmaker's words or anything, so we just go like this. Is it wrong?"

"........."

Regarding marriage, there are still many rules in the Tang Dynasty. The blind date meeting last night did not set the marriage, it just said that the two people have a good impression of each other, and the next thing can be discussed slowly.

Not that it really did.

And given the circumstances of this era, even if Cheng Chumo and the others wanted to see Song Xiaoyou and the others, the future father-in-law might not let them see them, right?
It's not good for their daughter's reputation to meet like this.

So the next thing is that the man can only come to propose marriage and settle the marriage, and then there will be some follow-up situations.

So, when Qin Huaiyu and the others asked if they wanted to come and have a look, Qin Tian smiled wryly. They really thought this was the era of openness in later generations?
"If you think the other girl is okay, then let your parents hurry up and find a matchmaker to propose marriage. When you get married, you can talk about everything. If you don't get married, your parents might let you marry the princess."

Sometimes love is really not free, even if it is free, it is only formal freedom.

Only when the marriage is settled, can they go to the woman's house casually, otherwise, if they go now, the woman's family will definitely not agree.

After hearing Qin Tian's words, they more or less understood what was going on.

Last night, things were in a hurry. They really didn't think about whether they really wanted to marry those girls. They just thought that they could get in touch with them and get to know them better before making a decision.

But now it seems that they have to think clearly before they can make a decision.

After the few people said this, they hurried back to tell their father about the matter, Qin Tian ordered people to prepare presents, and was going to visit some friends and elders.

However, as soon as the gift was prepared, someone from the palace came.

"Master Qin, the Holy Majesty wants you to enter the palace."

Hearing that Li Shimin wanted to find him, Qin Tian didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly followed the palace man into the palace.

On the first day of the new year, the palace was still very lively.

Everywhere looked festive, some of Li Shimin's princes and princesses were there, and they also came to celebrate the New Year.

However, after Qin Tian came, he was not led to the imperial study, but was led to the harem, and it was the harem of Empress Changsun.

After being led here, Qin Tian felt a little uneasy, the harem, really not everyone can enter.

After coming to the harem, Li Shimin was also there.

"Meet Your Majesty, Queen."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Qin Aiqing, what happened last night was very successful, I am very relieved, today I discussed with the queen about my Tang population, I couldn't help but think of you again, so I called you to ask. "

Qin Tian smiled and said, "What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"

"Let the queen tell you, this matter is his mother's business."

Qin Tian looked at Empress Changsun again, and Empress Changsun said: "Qin Tian, ​​it has been more than ten years since our country was established in the Tang Dynasty. The population growth is very slow, and the population is not long, which is not good for my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage people to marry and have children, but sometimes the effect is not obvious. What kind of blind date conference did you make? Ai Jia thinks it is a good way , do you have a feasible solution that can make the marriage of the people of Tang Dynasty smoother?"

Sitting in such a high position as Empress Changsun, sometimes he really doesn't care whether the marriages of ordinary people are happy or not. She only cares about whether these ordinary people can marry smoothly and whether they can successfully increase the population of their Tang Dynasty.

He said what he thought, and after he finished speaking, Qin Tian immediately understood, and said: "Queen, this matter is easy to handle, we just need to set up an Iceman Mansion, Iceman is a matchmaker, but they Different from those matchmakers in the folk, with these Icemen around, let them match up some marriageable men and women, it will naturally have better results."

Many people know that the Iceman is a matchmaker, but the imperial court specially set up an Iceman House to do this kind of thing, but there was no such thing before, and the Iceman is not the title of an official matchmaker.

However, Qin Tian brought this up at this time. If someone specialized in this matter, the effect would definitely be better.

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and said, "Empress, what do you think of this matter?"

Empress Changsun thought for a while, and said: "It is possible to add an Iceman's Mansion to be responsible for matchmaking. My Tang Dynasty still has the financial resources to support a few people, but we still need to see how they work. Why don't we try it first?" Well, what does His Majesty think?"

Li Shimin nodded: "You can try it."

Qin Tian smiled slightly, thinking that he should have nothing to do with himself, but at this moment, Empress Changsun suddenly said: "Qin Aiqing, there is something else that I need to trouble you for."
