Chapter 318: The Dispute Between Wives and Concubines

Before this, Wen Xin was specially designed with a small courtyard with a garden pond on the house design drawings, which was very beautiful, especially suitable for her to concentrate on reading and painting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wen Xin was also very satisfied with this house, so she moved in. And Princess Xuan'er and the maid Skylark were originally going to be placed in the VIP house, where the conditions were good, but Xuan'er said that she wanted to live with Yang Xianmao, and Yang Xianmao glanced at his father and asked him to agree.

Yang Mingde didn't know why Yang Xianmao was so obedient to this little girl and didn't dare to disobey, but since his son said so, of course he had no opinion, so he found a wing room in Yang Xianmao's house and settled their master and servant to sit down.

The crown princess lived with Yang Xianmao all the way, but after arriving at the Yang family, he offered to live with Wen Xin, and then live with Yang Xianmao after passing the door, so as not to gossip about others. Of course, Wen Xin agreed, so the crown princess lived with Wen Xin in a secluded small courtyard.

Of course, Hongsheng'er served Yang Xianmao as usual.

After they were all settled, Yang Mingde called Yang Xianmao to a study, and the couple talked to him alone.

After closing the door, Yang Xianmao felt that the old couple was a little mysterious, and they seemed to have something important to say, so they couldn't help but get a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Mingde motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "A few days ago, the Han family took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, and we have agreed. ”

Yang Xianmao was surprised and delighted, and said, "The Han family took the initiative to propose marriage?"

In ancient times, it was generally the man's family who proposed marriage to the woman, and it was very rare for the woman's family to propose marriage to the man. However, there is no prohibition on this, so the woman takes the initiative to ask the matchmaker to say that she does not violate the rules of the six rites, but this situation will make the woman's family more cheap, so the general woman's family is unwilling to do this, even if it is very intentional to the man, the man will generally be asked to propose. It is really rare for a woman to take the initiative to ask the media to propose marriage like this.

Yang Xianmao was very happy and said, "That's good, I was originally going to marry Xue'e, wouldn't everyone be happy when they both marry into the door?"

Looking at Lehehe's son, Zhang said angrily: "You are still young, you don't know what is powerful." Of course, it's okay for these two people to marry home, but who is the wife and who is the concubine? Have you thought about this question?"

Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you also have to distinguish this?"

Yang Mingde stroked his beard, looked at his ignorant son a little helplessly and said: "Of course, we must distinguish clearly, the so-called country has no two masters, there are no two wives in the family, the country can only have one emperor, of course there can only be one wife in a family, and the others can only be called concubines." Taking a concubine as a wife violates the royal law and is subject to heavy punishment by the imperial court. ”

Yang Xianmao is only eighteen years old in the end, and he really hasn't thought much about this kind of thing, and he hasn't cared about it, and he doesn't know that there is such a strict distinction. It turns out that the wife and concubine are two heavens, and they can't be confused, now it's time for him to have a headache, is it the crown princess who is the wife or Han Xue'e is the wife?

From the perspective of inner emotion, the two women are the flesh of their hearts, but the crown princess is already pregnant with her own child, he has to favor the princess in his heart, and the princess is a concubine and has received a strict education.

So at this time, Yang Xianmao was a little difficult to choose, so he looked at his mother for help and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhang and Yang Mingde glanced at each other and said: "We discussed it briefly just now, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed with the two of them and their families, after all, it will be a family in the future, and this kind of thing should be discussed before, so as not to have disputes in the future." ”

Yang Mingde nodded slowly and said: "It's good to talk about this kind of thing, let's discuss it together, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”

Yang Xianmao also felt that what the second elder said was right: "Okay, then I'll go to Han's house to discuss with them." ”

Yang Mingde shook his head and said: "It's not good for you to come forward in this kind of thing, it's better for your mother to go, take the matchmaker with you, and discuss with them what to do about this matter first." ”

Yang Xianmao nodded in agreement, thought about it, and said stubbornly: "There is something I may want to tell you to my father, that is, Fei'er has been pregnant with my child for two months, so this matter must be delayed as soon as possible." ”

Yang Mingde and his wife were surprised and delighted, looked at each other, and Zhang said, "You're not mistaken, right?"

"How could this be mistaken. Moreover, the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty Tai Hospital also diagnosed the pulse and said that it was indeed a happy pulse. ”

Zhang said happily: "Great!" Yang Mingde also stroked his beard and smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang said: "I'll go and discuss with the Han family immediately, and both of them will pass through the door as soon as possible." ”

Zhang went out of the hospital, only bringing a little maid with him, and the matchmaker who was disintermediated a few days ago. Then go to discuss the marriage.

The person in charge of receiving him was Han Shenyi and his wife, as well as Han Feiyu, the elder brother of Han Shenyi. After meeting, the Han family behaved extremely affectionately this time.

After the guest and host sat down, Zhang was a little embarrassed to say, but he still spoke: "Here's the thing, our family Xianmao didn't know about the engagement with Miss Han, so he found another daughter-in-law outside to bring back, and he was pregnant." It's been two months, and it's a shame to say this kind of thing, but I still have to make it clear to you, so I can come up with a practical solution according to the situation. ”

As soon as he heard this, Han Feiyu's face became gloomy, and he said, "The reason why we took the initiative to propose to your Yang family is mainly because of my eldest brother's idea, he said that Ling Lang has been canonized by the emperor as a fourth-rank official, which far exceeds the requirements we set for being an official. Since we have already said this, of course, we must do what we say, so we took the initiative to propose. You also agreed, only saying that you will get married when you come back from old age, but now you tell me that your son has found another one, and the girl has come back, and she is already pregnant with a child, what should you do with our family's snow forehead?"

Zhang's expression was very embarrassed, rubbed his hands, and looked at Doctor Han next to him.

Doctor Han is kinder and easier to talk than Han Feiyu. ”

Doctor Han said: "It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Lord Yang is a fourth-grade lord, and it is understandable to marry a few more women." However, the position of this wife and concubine does have to be made clear. But I don't know what your in-laws have in mind?"

Zhang didn't expect Doctor Han to kick the ball back to her, and asked her what she could do and how she planned it.

What can Zhang plan, she has no idea at the moment, she was worried that her son would not find a daughter-in-law, but now, two of them were sent to the door, and one was already pregnant with a baby, so how to deal with the matter of wife and concubine, she didn't have any idea, so she came to her in-laws to discuss. But now when she heard that her in-laws actually asked her to make up her mind, she panicked, and looked at the matchmaker who was traveling with her.

The matchmaker is familiar with this kind of thing, and there have been many cases of marrying wives and concubines at the same time before, and there is no shortage of dealing with this kind of trouble. At that moment, he smiled and said, "Why don't I come up with an idea, do you think it?"

Han Feiyu looked at her coldly and said, "I don't care what you think, in short, our family Xue'e must be a wife, never a concubine, that's for sure." No one can change it, otherwise, this marriage ...... Hey. ”

He didn't say it later, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

It's just that he knows very well in his heart what kind of effect his attitude towards himself can achieve. Patriarch Han Feizu demanded that this family must be formed, so this family member cannot go back. What's more, Yang Xianmao is now a fourth-grade high-ranking official, and he has made up his mind to let his family Han Xue'e be a concubine and not a wife, then he can only stare dryly, and he doesn't dare to tear up the marriage contract and regret it, just now he just expressed his attitude.

The matchmaker didn't seem to listen to what Han Feiping said, and still smiled and said, "I have encountered this kind of thing before. The way to deal with it is also very simple, that is, let the two families talk about the conditions of each family, look at the family background and status, and whoever is higher will be bigger. If the family is weak and the status is low, but it becomes bigger, then others will not be convinced, so my idea is to compare the two families, and see who is older will be a wife, and the younger one will be a concubine. How?"

Han Feiyu smiled coldly: "Our Han family is a big family, our eldest brother, that is, the patriarch of our Han family, but the big celebrity next to the emperor, the Venerable Feiling." Moreover, my nephew is also known as a miracle doctor, and his medical skills are famous, I don't believe that the woman's family can do it better than our Han family. ”

The matchmaker glanced at the Zhang family, because he knew about the Han family's family affairs, but he didn't know the situation on the princess's side. When Zhang talked to his son about this matter before, he had roughly asked the princess about her family, and Yang Xianmao didn't hide it, and she said it all in 1510. So Zhang knew and said at the moment: "This daughter-in-law brought back by my son." Her father turned out to be Wu Yueguo's privy envoy, and his official rank should be very high. ”

Han Feiyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said, "If she is my privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, then she didn't say it, her family is powerful." Of course, we are small, and there is nothing to fight with her, but he is Wu Yueguo's privy envoy, Wu Yueguo no longer exists, and his official does not exist, so in terms of calculation, their family is not as good as our Han family, or we are bigger and she is smaller. ”

Han Feiyu glanced back at Divine Doctor Han and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Doctor Han said slowly: "That woman's father is Wu Yueguo's privy envoy, is his surname Zheng and his name Zheng Qiang?"

Zhang didn't think about what he meant by this at all, but when he discussed with the crown princess before, he had already learned about her parents' situation and knew that her father was indeed Wu Yueguo's privy envoy. ”

So, Zhang nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Doctor Han breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had confirmed the speculation in his heart, and said to the Zhang family and the matchmaker: "You don't care about current affairs, so you don't know what notices the imperial court has, I know it very well." - The new daughter-in-law brought back by Lord Yang is not an innocent person, she once married the crown prince of Wu Yueguo as the crown princess, so she is not a yellow flower girl, so she should not be a wife. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang's head buzzed. When she asked Yang Xianmao about this before, she didn't know that there was such a thing in it, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. It's true, if it's really a widow who has remarried, she generally can't marry a serious person as a wife, unless the ** son of the family dies and is ready to continue.
