38. Chapter 38
Seeing her husband so gentle with her, the anger in her heart was swept away, her heart was very excited, her beautiful eyes were slightly red, the last time he spoke like this, he came from the border for a while, and then he became more and more cold, and now in addition to the necessity, he only has her yard on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but it is just for food, and rarely stays overnight.
Jia Daishan saw her crying excitedly, and sighed in his heart, thinking that they have been married for decades, although they are not in love but they are also respectful, but now because of the affairs in the house and the matter of Jia Yu, it has become what it is now, thought about it, patted her comfortingly, and then walked towards her mother.
The old lady sitting on the kang didn't pay attention to her son's approach because she was thinking about what Jia Shishi said, and Mama Gu gently pushed her beside her, and then looked up and saw her son standing in front of her: "Why are you here?"
Jia Daishan listened to her mother's question, smiled, obviously she didn't notice her mood, and laughed: "Mother is thinking deeply, how dare my son disturb?"
The old lady's face turned red, and after coughing lightly a few times, Fang said, "But what's the matter?"
"Come here, sit down and listen. Jia Daishan saw Jia Shishi who was still standing over there, thinking that Jia Zheng was brought up by her after all, and Jia Zheng's marriage should also listen to her opinion, so he turned his head and returned to the old lady, "Mother, Zheng'er's husband has sent a letter, and he mentioned that the Confucian family in Shandong has taken a fancy to Zheng'er and wants to marry our Jia family." ”
"What? the Kong family?" but" The old lady just wanted to ask if it was the Yansheng family, but it was not right to think about it, the old lady was from Shandong, and she knew the Kong family, although they were also considered a second-class family in the capital, but compared to the Kong family, they were not on the stage at all. 'What is a hundred-year-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family', the Confucian family is the first one. The Confucian family is the head of the scholars in the world, although they have not entered and exited the court, but the kings of each generation want to be recognized by the Confucian family, and the descendants of the Confucian family can enter the court to serve on the side, so that when the dynasty is in turmoil, the Confucian family can stand up and call on the people of the world to respect the monarch and morally criticize the rebels. Therefore, how many princesses have been married into the Confucian family. It's just that the Confucian family is only dedicated to King Wen of Zhou. The Jia family was born in martial arts, and it was impossible for the Yan Sheng Duke to marry the Jia family, thinking of this, the old lady stopped.
Jia Shishi saw that the old lady stopped halfway through speaking, and didn't know what she was thinking, but it was related to Jia Zheng's marriage, so she was anxious, so she asked regardless of the rules: "Shandong Confucius family, master, but Yan Shenggong lineage?" Although she was born in the Shi family, she also knew who the Kong family was.
Before Jia Daishan could say anything, the old lady said directly: "You are really delusional, and you don't want to think about what kind of family Nayan Holy Father is, how can our Jia family be compatible." ”
"Old lady, what you said, the lord and the holy prince of Nayan are the princes of the country, and the two families are the same, and although the holy prince of Nayan has a title, he has less real positions than the master, why can't he be worthy?"
The old lady just shook her head after hearing this, and sighed in her heart that this daughter-in-law was too short-sighted, how could she get it if the Jia family handed it over to her. Thinking about this, the old lady made up her mind to cultivate Zhang Qiong well, and this Jia family could not fall into the hands of the Jia Shi family.
Jia Daishan saw that his mother and his wife had a dispute, and he agreed with his mother's words, their Jia family really couldn't climb the Yan Sheng Gong Confucian family, so he hurriedly said the content of the letter: "Although this Confucian family is not the Yan Sheng Gong Kong family, it is also in the same vein as it, and it is still within the five suits. Mr. Nakong is also a lifter, but because the family motto is not allowed to enter and leave the court, so he did not take the test again. He is now teaching at the Confucian Academy. ”
After hearing this, the old lady thought for a while and said: "This Confucian family's family background, although the talent is good, the relationship with Yan Shenggong is also far away, and the power is weak. I also told you before that although Zheng'er is a son-in-law, he still has to divide the government and live another life, and it is a good thing if the Yue family has some power to him. ”
When it comes to Jia Shi's heart, she and the old lady and daughter-in-law have come for more than ten years, and it is the first time that they have the same idea on one thing. So he also followed the persuasion and said: "Master, what the old lady said is right, Zheng'er will not have a ready-made title in the future, and everything will be done by himself, although our family also has some connections, but most of this is still taken over by Yu'er, how much can be given to Zheng'er." If you marry another daughter-in-law who has no power in her mother's family, what will you do in the future? ”
Jia Daishan really wants to marry this family, although Mr. Kong is only a person, but he is also in the same vein as Yan Shenggong, and he is the descendant of the Holy Master, and he also has some influence among the literati. If it is beneficial to change the lintel for the sake of the Jia family, but for the sake of Jia Zheng's future, this family business is not of much benefit.
Jia Daishan saw that his mother and wife didn't want to marry this family, and there was no other way, so he had to say helplessly: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful, but Zheng'er's marriage is better decided as soon as possible, and the Wang family is still staring at it." ”
The old lady thought that the Wang family was also very troubled, the Wang family's family background, power, and personal relations were all good, but some people had bad character, so she immediately retorted: "The Wang family is not good, although our two families are ancestral friends, but because of this, the Wang family also knows a lot about it, not to mention anything else, but since more than ten years ago, the Wang family ruined the marriage and bullied the orphan girl." ”
When Jia Shishi saw that it was the Wang family, he remembered that when Jia Yu said that he was married, Mrs. Wang also brought the three girls of the Wang family to visit the house, and the appearance of the three was also outstanding, and their temperaments also had their own merits. The eldest girl is elegant and Min'er is somewhat similar, the second girl is steady, and at a glance, you can see that according to the cultivation of the housemother of the family, the third girl is small but very smart. There was some emotion in my heart about marrying the Wang family, but when I heard the old lady mention the old things more than ten years ago, I dispelled that little bit of intent.
Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi also know about the Wang family and the Lin family, whether it is the Jia family or the Shi family and the Lin family, they all have some contacts, and Jia Shishi and Lin Sheng also played together when they were young. Knowing about the destruction of the Wang family's marriage, her mother also told her that the Wang family was too ruthless and reduced her contacts with the Wang family.
Jia Zheng's three relatives did not talk about any results, and the old lady looked at all the girls who had titles and positions below the prince in the capital, but there were always such and such flaws. Five were selected to be quite satisfactory. Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi chose the second granddaughter of Hou Xiaoming, the Duke of Xiuguo, although the Duke of Xiuguo has passed away, although his son Hou Yong did not attack the Duke of Guo like Jia Daishan, but he was only demoted to become a marquis, and his son Hou Xiaokang also studied in Hongru Academy like Jia Zheng, and he has a good reputation, Qin Ziyi has a good evaluation with him. The two daughters of the Hou family also studied with their husband for a few years at home, and their character and temperament are good. His eldest daughter is betrothed, and the second daughter is not yet married.
After choosing, Jia Daishan wanted to ask someone to make peace, if Nahou also had the intention to set up this family affair, but yes, Jia Shishi was also satisfied with the girl of the Hou family, but he thought that maybe there might be a better one, and Jia Zheng was still outside, and he also had time to observe and observe, so he would find someone to talk about relatives in time.
Wang Hao hit a wall in the Shi family, as long as Jia Zheng's marriage was mentioned, Shi Gong didn't hear the meaning of the words, but said that although he was not Jia Zheng's maternal grandfather, the old lady of the Jia family and Jia Dai were good, and it was not his turn to do it.
When Mrs. Shi learned of Mrs. Wang's intention, she immediately changed the topic. Mrs. Ren hinted explicitly, but she pretended to be stupid and didn't understand. The couple went home with a stomach full of gas.
Shi Bang said after Wang Hao left: "Father, why don't you want to help the Wang family make peace." The marriage of King Jia is not bad. ”
Shi Gong touched his beard and replied: "If the Jia family is willing, why should the king let our Shi family come forward to make peace, I am afraid that they have been politely rejected, but they are not giving up, remembering that we are the Daishan Yue family, if we say a word or two for them, then the Jia family will not be able to refuse." Hmph, that Wang Hao really can't be an old fool. ”
Wang Bang thought about it and understood the meaning, and sighed: "Yes, since my brother-in-law is unwilling, why should I bother to beg for it, it didn't hurt the relationship between the two families, and my sister has been in the Jia family in the past few years." Why should we embarrass her? ”
The situation of the Jia Shi family in the past few years in the Jia family, the Shi family also knows. At that time, Jia Daishan checked the minions in the house, and also sent several of the lists to the Shi family, and the Shi family's father and son were very ashamed when they looked at the list, which was full of records of the actions of the servants who married the Shi family. Therefore, Jia Daishan did not say anything when he seized the stewardship of Jia Shi's family.
"She is also self-inflicted, and your mother has taught her everything under the control of the housekeeper, but she also lets the slave do whatever she wants. Shi Gong hated and hated, he also loved this only daughter, but he was too angry.
"Father. Shi Bang saw that his father was full of chagrin, and he didn't know what to say, if he was Mrs. Shi, he would be like Jia Daishan.
"Okay, let's not talk about her, anyway, Daishan just didn't let her take care of the house, and other places didn't criticize her. Shi Gong didn't want to talk any further, and remembered Wang Hao's expression when he left, and said uneasily: "Bang'er, you tell Jia Daishan about today's matter, and let him be careful of the Wang family, I'm afraid that Wang Hao won't stop like this." ”
"Yes, father, I will let my brother-in-law be careful, but if the Jia family is unwilling to marry this matter, then what can the Wang family do?"
"Alas, it's better to be cautious, there is a way to 'know the face of the person but not the heart.'" Shi Gong replied.
Jia Daishan wrote a letter to Mr. to reply to the Confucian family's request for marriage, and when he received the letter from the Shi family, it was a headache, and the Wang family was really unwilling, originally he thought that the Wang family still had any moves, but he didn't expect that the Wang family never proposed to take over the marriage in the following days. Although Wang Hao did not mention the matter of marrying, but asked Wang Ziteng to join the army, Jia Daishan was a little guilty of the Wang family because of the refusal to marry, so he was very attentive to Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng is also a talented person, which made Jia Daishan even more happy.
The old lady is going to give away the idea of being there
Jia Yu and Zhang Qiong also understand their grandmother's anxious things, and only such things are also under their control. After that, Jia Yu stayed in Zhang Qiong's room every night, but even so, Zhang Qiong still didn't have any news after more than half a year.
