Mrs. Zhang never had the upper hand against the Han family from the beginning. Mrs. Zhang's husband is the minister of Dali Temple, so her status in the Zhang family is naturally very high. Zhang Junliang is not taken seriously because he is a complete playboy, but because he is a direct descendant
, occupies a natural advantage, and most of the dandy children are favored, so the Zhang family will not ignore Zhang Junliang's marriage. The original fiancée was also a well-known Shuyuan, but later appeared
After hearing such a farce in Renxiang, it was impossible for the Zhang family not to be angry. But because of their reputation, they couldn't do anything, so they just watched indifferently and left it to Mrs. Dezhang to deal with it. As a result, they suffered losses everywhere, and the Duke Zhang Chengen's family became "ungrateful".
Forcing other girls to become nuns, some people are so angry that they even have heart attacks, but they don't dare to continue.
Therefore, the real leaders of the Zhang family did not dare to let Mrs. Zhang continue. They cut the mess quickly and came to hire people the next day. The wedding was scheduled for the sixth day of July. Although it was said that the matter would not be completely settled so easily, but,
It is better than making a name like "the benefactor who forced her to death", because as the Queen Mother's mother, even if someone makes comments, she does not dare to be presumptuous. As time goes by, the matter will naturally be over.
As for the people of the Wen family who had planned the plan first and finally forced the Zhang Chengen Palace to such an extent, naturally it was impossible to let it go so easily. With the power of the Zhang Chengen Palace, if they wanted to deal with the Wen family... they really had to take action.
When I arrived, I found that it was not as simple as expected. Nowadays, apart from the title of Duke Chengen, the highest real power in Zhang Chengen's palace is the Minister of Dali Temple. Although all aspects are intricately connected, the real real power is definitely more than this. However, Wenren Taibo
Now he is valued by Emperor Xuanren.
The Queen Mother cares about her natal family and intends to protect it, but the prerequisite is that it has nothing to do with the previous court affairs. The latter is the most important thing between her natal family and her son.
Therefore, even if Duke Zhang Chengen wants to impress the famous Tai Bo, he must carefully consider whether it will offend Emperor Xuan Ren. This realization made Duke Zhang Chengen have to temporarily suppress some thoughts.
Swallow back a mouthful of old blood.
Of course, it was a good thing that Duke Zhang Chengen's government did not take action. Otherwise, they would probably have discovered that they would have been suppressed without Emperor Xuanren doing anything. Wen's current network of connections was not as simple as they thought.
At this point, the matter has been settled. As for what the situation will be like if Wen Renxiang "gets his wish" and marries into a high family, that will be a matter of the future.
Now that Mr. Han is done with this troublesome matter, he can finally handle Wen Renying's marriage.
Because there was already a tacit understanding with the Cheng family, everything that needed to be prepared was ready. After the two parties agreed, they directly invited a matchmaker to come to the house to formally propose marriage. After that, the Cheng family got Wen Renying's invitation and asked about the good or bad luck.
, they combined their horoscopes and found a match made in heaven. After the letter of appointment was issued, the marriage was finalized. The process went smoothly without any twists and turns.
Of course, there were still a few hiccups. Mainly from the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, they learned that Wen Renying’s second engagement partner was actually just a student from a poor family. Even though it was said that this was the man who was visiting the bride, Mrs. Pingjin Marquis was still extremely surprised.
, not to mention Wen Renying is the legitimate daughter of a third-grade official, but also the legitimate daughter of another house in Wen Ren's family, and he has a higher ration than him. Even if she is more promising, if she wants to win over, marrying a concubine would be overwhelming. Wen Renying
Even though I had to cancel the engagement once, it’s not like I couldn’t find a suitable husband. Why...
Because of this, Mrs. Pingjin Hou couldn't help but went to Wenren's house and wanted to ask.
Mrs. Pingjin Hou is now Wen Renying's adoptive mother. Although her biological parents are here, it is not her turn to interfere in the marriage. However, with such a relationship, it is understandable for her to ask.
Mrs. Pingjin Hou spoke even though she knew that intervening was not a good idea. She was still a little upset. After all, her son was the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion. Now the Pingjin Hou Mansion was gaining momentum, and her eldest son was good enough, so she didn't have to worry about having no successor.
, she was not worried about the decline of the Pingjin Marquis House. If she married her youngest son, no matter how bad she was, she would be able to live a lifetime of food and clothing. However, Wen Ren decisively kicked her son. If she chose someone with a good family background and who was better than her son, there would be no choice.
You can talk about it, but now that you choose a poor student with an uncertain future, it feels like a knot in your throat no matter how you think about it.
The Han family could more or less guess what Mrs. Pingjin Hou was thinking. Because of this, she felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know what to say. She could have not explained it, but now she is the in-laws after all.
Han thought about it, sighed, and decided to "tell the truth."
"Madam, let me tell you this, as for my children, I don't ask them to be rich and powerful. It is enough for them to have food and clothing, and live a stable life. Considering Ying'er's temperament, at the beginning
I chose Mr. Ling.
Xuan'er has been living outside since she was born. She has suffered a lot and seen many things outside. She attaches great importance to family ties. To tell you the truth, on the 50th birthday of the Marquis of Pingjin, she found someone who made the young master's heart belong to her.
At that time, she was very opposed to Ying'er's marriage to Mr. Ling, but we talked it over and told her that nothing in the world is perfect, so she stopped mentioning it.
But later, what Mr. Ling did was really disappointing, especially when he did such a thing in front of Xuan'er, which made her very angry. Especially after Ying'er came back, her eyes were swollen from crying.
, our whole family is very distressed.
After the marriage was finalized, we thought about it. A high-ranking family might not be suitable for Ying'er. Even those young masters who don't need to inherit the family business are accustomed to taking concubines. Ying'er was raised by me and has a simple temperament.
, if she goes up against someone with some hasty tactics, she will definitely be the one who suffers the loss and is wronged, and our natal family may not be able to support her.
Based on these, simply choose someone with a low family background and good conduct for her. Even if there may be changes in the future, she will still be able to live a happy life for at least the first ten or twenty years. By then, her children will have grown up and have experienced a lot.
Now, many things have been taken lightly. Even if something happens, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Because I still have some financial resources, I can give more dowry when I get married. Even if my son-in-law doesn't have much future in the future, I will have no problem ensuring that they have enough food and clothing.
If we are all parents, my wife should be able to understand my thoughts."
When Han finished speaking slowly and warmly, Mrs. Pingyang Hou had nothing to say. Indeed, only those who consider their children wholeheartedly would make such a choice. Besides, she felt a little blushing and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It's the evil one in the family!
Mrs. Han picked up the teacup, took a sip, and closed her eyes slightly. Since "the enemy is called upon to investigate," it would be embarrassing to pull out your son as the "culprit." Especially since my second daughter is quite disgusted with your son.
You weigh it again.
It is not sure whether the anger in Mrs. Pingjin Hou's heart has gone away, but even if it has not gone away, it has probably been transferred to her son. What Hua Baichen will face, the Han family has no interest in.
When Mrs. Pingjin Hou went back, she was not as energetic as when she came.
Han sent the person away and didn't take the matter to heart.
Then there is the preparation for Wen Renxiang's marriage. After all, it is Wen Renxiang's girl who should do everything to save face, right? As for what the Zhang family will do, whether they will deliberately trample on Wen Renxiang's face, it doesn't matter.
They married their "savior" and they really wanted to step on someone else's side. It's hard to say who they were embarrassed by.
For things like saving face, you just need to prepare normally according to your status. Han is also familiar with it. When the end comes, what you have to do is busy, it's just a wedding banquet, nothing special.
On the other hand, Mrs. Pingjin Hou, after returning home, also figured out that Han's words were mostly true, but when it came to her son, there was also a deliberate element in it. To a certain extent, it was just pointing at her nose and saying something about her.
She failed to teach her son well, which made Mrs. Pingjin Hou feel unhappy, "Where is that evildoer? Call him here."
Although he didn't mention her by name, it was not the first time in the past few months that Hua Baichen had made Mrs. Pingjinhou angry, and the servant knew this.
Recently, Hua Baichen has basically been detained at home to study. Mrs. Hou came back from Wenren's house and became so angry. I think it has something to do with the seventh girl of Wenren. Now it has burned Hua Baichen, and the servants are treating him.
A little bit pitiful.
However, this pity did not last long, because the person who went to call Hua Baichen came back and said that he had gone out and secretly went out through the back door while Mrs. Hou went to smell the house. Well, there is no need to pity.
Need to clean up.
Mrs. Pingjinhou's illness was not cured to begin with. She was so angry that she almost fell ill. The people around her were so frightened that they hurriedly took two pills and fed them to her.
After getting the news, Mrs. Pingjin Hou Shizi hurried over and looked at Mrs. Pingjin Hou, who was in a state of distress. You must know that during this period of time, she has been raised almost like a normal person, and her complexion, energy and spirit are good in all aspects. Now...
"Mom, are you okay?"
Mrs. Pingjin Hou waved her hands feebly.
"Mom, do you want to go find my uncle?" Mrs. Pingjin Hou Shizi said hesitantly.
"Why are you looking for him? He has the guts to run away. It's best to die outside and never come back!"
Mrs. Hou Shizi of Pingjin heard this and didn't take it seriously. After her mother-in-law gave birth to her eldest son, she didn't get pregnant again for many years. Moreover, because the eldest son was obedient, sensible and excellent, and there were successors in the Hou family, she inevitably doted on her younger son.
To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with that uncle. He is much better than many dandy boys who are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The whole family is quite satisfied with this. That is to say, when they meet the free-spirited Li Ruoshui, his whole person
It was a mistake, and my brain was fed to the dog. But even so, my mother-in-law just said harsh words.
But that was the brother-in-law. He had parents and brothers, so naturally it was not her turn to be the sister-in-law. Her mother-in-law said she would not look for her, so she would not meddle in other people's business. However, Mrs. Pingjin Hou Shizi thought about it and let her go.
After I found my husband, I contacted him.
However, neither Mrs. Pingjin Hou nor Mrs. Pingjin Hou Shizi would never have imagined that Hua Baichen would be blocked on the bed at this moment.
Today, the young ladies from Duke Xu's mansion are holding a flower viewing banquet. Seriously speaking, it is actually a blind date banquet.
Xu Guogong was also a promising young man when he was young. During the reign of the late emperor, he was very high-spirited and very proud. However, in the last battle for the right to inherit the throne, because he was on the wrong team, he naturally became the one who was suppressed because of his involvement.
For some unknown reasons, he was still the heir apparent at the time, so he was not greatly affected on the surface. However, his father had a serious impact on him. He died before Emperor Xuanren succeeded to the throne. Now Xu Guogong has inherited the title, but after that he also died.
That's it, just depressed and frustrated.
And if this man fails to achieve his goals, he is prone to indulge in drinking and sex. Originally, his sons were better off, many of them were married, and they were living in debauchery. They were becoming more and more outrageous. They brought everything that smelled good and smelly into the palace. The Duke's Palace was originally a good place.
It was made a mess.
His wife, who was originally in a good relationship, was separated from her, and her children were no longer close to him.
If it was just like this, forget it. A few years later, he would dote on his concubine and kill his wife. It was really a joke. But fortunately, at a time when the title of the duchy was almost affected, Xu Guogong was
She regained consciousness and dealt with her beloved concubine in time. Even so, Fa's wife gave up completely and simply packed up her things and returned to her ancestral home.
As the legitimate eldest son, he could not serve him with him, and the other two were unwilling to give up the glory and wealth in the imperial city and the power of the palace. As the legitimate eldest son, he sent his legitimate daughter to accompany him, a little girl who was just a little older, to replace his parents.
Serve grandma.
Mrs. Xu Guogong passed away a few years ago. As her granddaughter, it can be said that she has been with her forever. She has kept her mourning for three years and lived in her ancestral homeland for two more years. Now that she is pregnant, it is time to talk about marriage and she has to go forward.
Come to the imperial city to find marriage.
Therefore, having served my grandmother for many years, this status is naturally extraordinary. Even if Xu Guogong is extraordinarily ridiculous, he still values this granddaughter, and she has not been in the imperial city for a short time, but maybe in terms of etiquette.
It's a bit lacking, but I'm not in a hurry to go out and walk around, so very few people know about it.
Even so, as a mother, even if your daughter is not raised under your knees, she may be emotionally lacking, but this blood relationship cannot be separated. Besides, she is a legitimate daughter, and those of a similar age are all concubines, or
She is a girl from the previous generation, so she will not take this marriage lightly. She has been collecting information about the sons and daughters of various families in the imperial city for a while, and now she has officially held a flower viewing banquet, saying that she will let her daughter make some friends of the same age.
If we were just making friends, there would be no need to invite young masters from various families, but there were younger uncles who posted a bunch of posts to enjoy the flowers.
This kind of thing is actually tacitly understood by everyone. If other families are interested, there may be elders who will follow suit.
However, it would be too much. The people invited will definitely not be just unmarried people, but young people after all.
