20. Twentieth round
The marriage between the Jia family and the Zhang family is really a few happy and a few sad. Zhang Qiong became the object of envy of the ladies in the capital, but the most annoyed had to mention the Wang family of the county Bofu, it turned out that Mrs. Wang had visited the Jia family, and after returning home, she directly told Wang Hao that the Duchess of Rongguo had agreed to marry, but she had to discuss with the Duke of Rongguo and then came to propose marriage. After hearing this, Wang Hao thought that this thing could be done, but before the two saints got married, how could he be embarrassed.
He came to the main room angrily, and as soon as he entered, he scolded Mrs. Wang: "Didn't you say that the Jia family had already agreed, but what is going on now? How could this Jia family marry the Zhang family, or was it given by the sage by decree." What the hell is going on?"
Listening to her husband's forgiveness, Mrs. Wang was also stunned for a while, and was awakened by the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground. He said in a panic: "What is the master talking about? The Jia family and the Zhang family got married, but when I went to Jiafu, the Duchess Rongguo was obviously very willing, and said that after discussing with the Duke of Rongguo, she would send someone to the mansion to tell her." β
Wang Hao said angrily: "The holy decree has been issued, is this matter still fake? It must be that you came back without figuring it out, which made me rejoice blindly, but fortunately this matter was not spread, otherwise our Wang family would not have become a joke." β
Wang Zisheng's brothers and sisters told the people that their father was angry with their mother in the main room, and they all hurried over, and when they entered the door, their father was angry, and their mother stood aside with red eyes and cautiously bowed her head, and the broken tea cup on the ground, and her heart was stagnant. Wang Ziteng and the others all looked at Wang Zisheng and motioned for him to greet him first.
There was no way, Wang Zisheng had to step forward and say, "Father, what happened? Did your mother do something that made you embarrassed?"
Wang Hao saw that the children were coming, and he was not good at talking about Mrs. Wang, so he snorted lightly and said: "Your mother is really not enough to succeed, and she came back from the Jia family that day and said that the Duchess of Rongguo intended to marry our Wang family, but I didn't expect that after only two, the saint gave the marriage to the Jia family and the Zhang family." β
The Wang Zisheng brothers were also surprised when they heard this, thinking that the Najia family would abandon their family and marry another family. What is different is the girl of the Wang family, the eldest girl Wang Xin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, in the past two days, because she wants to marry the Jia family, the people in the house have been guessing which girl will marry into the Jia family. And the wife didn't know how to hear that her father wanted to choose her as the person who wanted to marry, and his attitude towards her and her aunt was strange, and she and her aunt avoided her, so they couldn't leave the house.
The second girl, Wang Zhen, was very excited and deeply lost, thinking that the Duchess of Rongguo would definitely choose her as her daughter-in-law, the annoying eldest sister among the three sisters was not born enough, although it was recorded in her mother's name, but it could not change the fact that she was a concubine. And the third sister is still young and does not match the eldest son of the Najia family, so she is the only one in the end. But what is it that the Jia family has married with another family? So what should she do? Think about the status of the Jia family, or the furnishings in the Duchess Rongguo's room, which is not priceless.
She also wanted to live a life like the Duchess of Narongguo.
The third girl, Wang Huan, didn't have any idea about her family's failure to marry the Jia family, and what she was thinking about was how to make her father angry, and she was very scared when she saw her father's angry appearance, and she regretted why she came with her second sister.
After Wang Ziteng turned the matter around in his mind, Fang said: "Father, you can't blame my mother for this, I think it was the Duchess Rongguo who didn't convince the Duke Rongguo to do this." However, judging from the marriage of the Jia and Zhang families, Rong Guogong is afraid that he has another purpose, otherwise everyone in the capital would not have chosen it, but he would have chosen the Zhang family from the second grade?"
Wang Hao listened to his words and thought deeply, but he also didn't understand each other, so he said: "Speaking of which, if the title of Rong Guogong is superb, and the Zhang family has no title, in terms of official position, Rong Guogong is also the envoy of the Jingying Festival is a first-class military attachΓ©, and Zhang Changgong is the head of the Hanlin Academy, and he is a second-grade civil official, and since the founding of this dynasty, the civil and military officials have had few contacts, let alone marriage, what does this Rongguo Gong want to do?"
Wang Zisheng heard the clue from his father's words, thought about it and said: "Father, I think this Rongguo Gong is afraid that he likes the position of Lord Zhang, you must know that this Hanlin Academy is a place where each subject is entered, and I have also heard that Jia Zheng, the second son of Rong Guogong, has liked to read since he was a child, and his articles are also good." I'm afraid that the marriage with the Zhang family will pave the way for it, but why is this person Jia Yu, wouldn't it be better if it was Jia Zheng directly?"
The father and son of the Wang family couldn't figure it out, and finally Wang Hao said dejectedly: "Now is not the time to care why the Rongguo Mansion and the Zhang family are married, but how our Wang family can get on the Rongguo Mansion again and restore the original four major family periods." β
Wang Ziteng said indifferently: "Father, although Jia Yu is not good, isn't there still Jia Zheng, our family can still marry the Jia family." It's just that this time we have to plan well, and we can't do it like this time. β
Wang Hao nodded and said: "Ziteng is right, Jia Zheng is also okay, no matter what, I don't believe that my Wang family's daughter is still worthy of the second son of the Jia family." β
Wang Zhen also kindled hope again, and she had to prepare well to marry into the Jia family.
The father and son of the Shi family were also talking about the Jia family, Shi Bang said: "Father, what do you think about your brother-in-law, how could he set such a family affair for Yu'er? I heard that the Wang family wants to give their daughter to Yu'er, why didn't the brother-in-law choose the Wang family, how can you say that the Wang family is also one of the four major families, isn't the marriage relationship closer?"
Shi Gongdao: "You are not as good as Dai Shan's long-term thinking, let me ask you if there is still a war to fight in the imperial court now?"
Shi Bang said: "Now the world is peaceful, the people are happy, even the most troublesome Qianxiang country has come to ask for peace, I am afraid that there will be no more battles in the past ten years, but what does my father have to do with the marriage of Yu'er?"
Shi Gong listened to his son's words, and said helplessly: "Since there is no war to fight, then what future can we military generals have to expect? β
Shi Bang only understood Jia Daishan's intentions at this time, thought about his own family, and said: "Father, do you want our family?"
Before Shi Bang finished speaking, the prince said: "The matter of changing martial arts to literature, if there is no connection, how easy it is to talk, although I don't know why the Zhang family agreed to marry, but it is certain that the Jia family will be willing to be kind to the Zhang family, so that they can marry, and Mrs. Jia is also a scholarly family, and our Shi family has nothing to do with the scholarly family, it is good to keep this title safely." β
Shi Bang thought about it and felt that what his father said was good, but the Shi family and the Jia family were in-laws. The Najia family also does not mention the Shi family, but this time, the congratulatory gift of pardoning the child and marrying the family should also be aggravated.
The most peaceful is the Zhang Jia family of the parties, the Zhang family received the holy decree of marriage again, and their hearts were very blatant, Zhang Changgong, who has been acting in a low-key manner, did not expect that his daughter's marriage alarmed the saint, and he was very uneasy. But Mrs. Zhang is very happy for her daughter, what a glorious thing it is for a saint to give marriage, how many women can there be in the world. In the future, her daughter will be able to stand taller than others in Jiafu and stand on her heels. The Duchess of Rongguo can't be too harsh on her daughter, but she knows that Najia pardon is not the favorite of the Duchess Rongguo, she was still worried about her daughter, and she was relieved that she had the holy decree, and after receiving the holy decree, she happily went to busy with her daughter's dowry.
The Jia family is very busy now than the old lady, and the next day when I wanted to get the letter, I went to Qingxuguan to make a wish, and asked the master to calculate a good day to hold a small decision, but Jia Daishan stopped him, saying that after getting the woman's eight characters, it would be better to go to the day without the master and according to their eight characters.
But it's been more than half a month, and the eight characters haven't been taken back, the old lady is impatient to wait, and then it's the New Year, and she still wants to do it before the year. So she asked Mama Gu to call Mrs. over and asked, "Mrs., the eight characters of the girl from the Zhang family, are you willing to ask someone?"
Hearing the old lady ask about the girl of the Zhang family, she replied: "Old lady, the old man said that he personally arranged the marriage of Yu'er, let me watch it." β
When the old lady heard this, she was very angry, she had never seen this mother, and she had not even heard of her own son's marriage, so she didn't want to say anything about it, so she waved her hand and asked her to step back. In fact, the wife was also very aggrieved, although she was not very satisfied with the Zhang family girl as a daughter-in-law, but since receiving the holy decree, she also admitted it, and wanted to manage the marriage well, but she didn't think about it but was rejected by the master.
Jia Daishan took the eight characters sent by the Qin family and went directly to the old lady's yard, he also knew that his mother was impatient, and when he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting at the pit table, with an unhappy look, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mother, I have asked Ziyi's wife about the eight characters of the Zhang family's girl." With that, he put the post on the pit table.
The old lady didn't look at the eight characters, but asked: "I heard my wife say, you don't let her take care of Yu'er's marriage, how can this be, how can she be the mother of Yu'er, how can she not care, if others know that they don't know how to laugh at our Jia family?"
Jia Daishan explained: "Mother, you also know that she was born in a historical family, and she doesn't know much about the scholarly family, and her son is also afraid that she will make some jokes, so he entrusts this matter to Ziyi's wife." β
The old lady said again: "Having said that, how can you let outsiders worry about the marriage of Yu'er, this is not in line with etiquette." Forget it, I'll do it in the future, and let my wife also help, she always has to learn these things, after all, there is a politician in the back. β
Jia Dai responded well.
Early the next morning, the old lady took a carriage to Qingxuguan, but she brought Jia Min with her. When they came to the temple, they first went to the main hall, made incense and made a wish, and donated incense money, and then went to the childless master to ask for an appointment. didn't expect someone to arrive before them, and when she got closer, Jia Min recognized that person was her mother-in-law in her previous life, Lin Hai's mother, and Mrs. Jing'anhou.
Mother Lin also saw them, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are old, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same, and you have not changed at all." There was a hint of intimacy in the words.
Jia Min was very surprised, in her previous life, she had never heard of any connection between the Lin family and her family, so how could Mother Lin know her grandmother?
The old lady also saw the person clearly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you since your mother died, but your mouth is still so sweet." β
Mother Lin said with nostalgia on her face: "When I saw you, I thought of my mother, and she was like a new sister to you at that time." This is your granddaughter? As soon as the words fell, a young man's voice came from the very end, "Mother, you are all right." β
Jia Min looked for the sound, and the person was the young Lin Hai.
