37. Chapter 37
The Wang family, Wang Hao had a detailed conversation with his two sons in the study. Looking at his youngest son with a sad expression, seeing that his eyes were firm, he also knew that he had made up his mind, and said helplessly: "Have you thought clearly? Joining the army is not a joke, military generals are all promoted by military merits, although our Wang family started with military merits, but there are no connections left at that time, and there is nothing to help your career." Now that the country is safe and the people are safe, and the border is stable, I am afraid that there will be no war to fight in the short term. β
Wang Ziteng also knew that what his father said was reasonable, but their Wang family had no lord to attack in his generation, if his father went, how would the Wang family stay in this powerful capital. The Wang family has a little wealth, but he is the second son, and according to the rules, the eldest brother will inherit the big head. If you want to get ahead, you can only rely on yourself.
He sorted out his thoughts, and Fang explained to his father: "Father, my son also knows that what you said is reasonable, but my son is still young, and he can slowly experience in the army, and it is okay to wait for more than ten years." As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that his father disagreed, he continued: "Although the four seas are stable now, it may not be necessary in five or ten years, although the Qianxiang Kingdom is now subjugated to our dynasty, it is only because the Rongguo Mansion has disabled its elite tax army, and it needs to be cultivated well, so it has to be done like this." When he recovers in the future, he is afraid that the thief's heart will not die, and that is when his son will make meritorious contributions. β
Wang Hao saw that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and he also knew that he wanted to join the army not for a moment, and his face similar to him was no longer naΓ―ve. The immature shoulders also have a responsibility, looking at the second son of a talent, he sighed: "It's good that my son has a clear plan, because his father is old, and I don't know how many years I can protect you, but it's a pity that there is no one to help in my Wang family's army, and everything depends on you." β
Wang Zisheng took care of the housekeeping, and he also knew that there were not many people in their Wang family, and the best ones were Jia, Shi, and Xue, which were still a few years ago, and the Jia family gradually became estranged after the death of his grandfather, otherwise his father would now marry the Jia family to consolidate the relationship between the two.
Is it because those people are powerful? It's just because their royal family has no lord to attack? But it's not like that, but it's not like that. couldn't help but wonder: "Father, the son has checked the account books of his grandfather at that time, and there are dozens of intersections, most of which are martial families, and the four kings and eight princes also have contacts, why have they not interacted with each other since then?"
The eldest brother of Prince Tengwen also looked at his father with a puzzled expression, if those relationships were preserved, their Wang family would not be as cautious.
Wang Hao saw that his two sons were looking at him and wanted to know the reason, he was half embarrassed and half remorseful, and he didn't know where to start. After all, this is a scandal of the Wang family, and even the two sons have no shame to bring it up.
Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Wang Ziteng said, "Father, the son and brother are both sons of the Wang family, and we can't know anything." Besides, the Wang family will also have to be the eldest brother and me to take on it in the future, whether it is good or bad, our brothers should know in their hearts. β
Wang Hao also knew about this, and his two sons would know about it sooner or later, so he sighed deeply and said, "I know that your brothers and sisters are dissatisfied with me treating Xin'er and Aunt Lin like this." β
"The son didn't dare to have a son. The two brothers didn't know why their father mentioned Aunt Lin, although their hearts were not fair, but they also said that they didn't dare.
Seeing their duplicitousness, he waved his hand and continued: "Do you know that before the father and your mother were married, they also had a marriage contract, and that was Aunt Lin. The Lin family and the Wang family are all fighting the world with the β‘β‘, and your grandfather has a very personal relationship with General Na Lin, and when he saw the two families, a son and a daughter, he decided to be good for Qin and Jin. Wang Hao said that he wanted to be with Lin Sheng when he was a child, and he knew each other well and was very nostalgic, but the changes in the future made the two very heartbroken, after all, he lost Lin Shang, and the Wang family lost the Lin family.
The two brothers were very surprised when they heard this, and they now knew that their father and Aunt Lin were still so connected, and the injustices of the past had also found a source. It's just that they don't know that Aunt Lin shouldn't be their father's wife, and why is this the way it is now?
Wang Hao ignored their curiosity, only quietly in his memories, suddenly faced pain, and said leisurely: "Later, General Lin died in battle, and Mrs. Lin was ill due to the loss of her husband. But the world is unpredictable, your grandmother saw that there was only an orphan girl left in the Lin family, so she wanted to repent of her marriage, and she set your mother for her father. Although the Lin family has no relatives, they have countless old friends, and those people didn't do anything after they realized it, but they were not ashamed of the Wang family for bullying the orphan girl, and they slowly continued to socialize. β
When the brothers heard this, they were silent, if this matter was not done by the Wang family, they would also feel ashamed, but although the grandmother did wrong, but it was also for the sake of the father, and the heart of the love for the son was also visible, right or wrong, and it was not what they commented on as children and grandchildren.
Wang Hao calmed down, looked at his two sons, and instructed: "In the future, when your father is gone, Xin'er, you brothers take more care, although you and her are not the same mother, but they are also brothers and sisters of the same father." Besides, it was our Wang family before, I'm sorry for the Lin family, and the Lin family is only
If Xin'er has such a little blood left, she should pay off her debts. Speaking of this, I felt even more guilty.
"Yes, my son knows. The two brothers responded in unison, and also kept their father's entrustment in their hearts, and the jealousy of the past disappeared.
"Well, you just know this, and don't tell your mother or son. Wang Hao was very pleased to see his solemn appearance, and said: "This matter is also a lesson to the Wang family, the world values trustworthiness, if you are not sure of things in the future, don't promise." β
"Well, my son knows. β
"Alas, Teng'er, the quota of our family's Guozi Prison was given to your eldest brother, as for your father, you also want to ask someone to spend money to donate a five-grade dragon forbidden lieutenant, although there are only five grades, it is also a saint's forbidden guard, if you get the eyes of the saint that day, you will still worry about the future future. "There are many people in the meritorious family who donate officials for their sons, and he wants to donate an official for his second son.
Wang Ziteng also knows about donating officials, and most of the people around him have also donated a lot of officials, but he is so strong that he doesn't want to be with those gentlemen, although those people say that they have official positions, they just have a good reputation, so they disdainfully said: "Father, donating officials is a stain on his career, and if his son is a very popular minister in the future, this will become someone else's talking point." And his son went to join the army, although it is difficult now, but he also worked hard by himself, and he will only be praised by the world. β
"Okay, you've planned everything, and you can only rely on you as a father, but which army are you going to go to?" Wang Hao asked.
"My son has thought about it, although we are a little estranged from the Jia family, but in the end, the love of the ancestors is still there, that Rong Guogong is now the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and it is feasible for me to be a small soldier under him, and I will not refuse to come to Rongguo Gong to see the love in the past. Wang Ziteng made his plans one by one, I don't know what to think, and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that our Wang family has nothing to do with the Jia family, and if we can marry, our Wang family will benefit even more." If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family didn't want a girl of the same age as their son, even if it was a concubine, they would be willing to marry it. β
Wang Hao saw his regretful face, and heard that he was willing to marry the concubine of the Jia family, and said angrily: "Nonsense, in this world, the concubine is married to the concubine, the concubine is married to the concubine, and the eldest son is married to the eldest daughter." You are the son-in-law of our Wang family, although you are the second son, how can you marry a concubine, is that a joke for our Wang family?"
"Father, I just said casually, you don't have to be so angry, besides, even if the son wants to marry the daughter of the Jia family, that family doesn't have it. Wang Ziteng was not afraid of his father's anger, and said with a smile.
"Okay, my father also knows that it is beneficial to marry the Jia family to the Wang family, and he also entrusted Ning Guogong to make peace, but the man should open his mouth when the man marries him, and now we have to catch up with the first mouth, and there is always a little hard to pass. "It is said that 'a family has a woman and a hundred families begging', and now Wang Hao can't save face, "The marriage between the two families is the intention of both parties, if the Rongguo Gong is unwilling, we can't force it." β
Wang Zisheng also agreed with the words, if he forcibly married the Wang family and the married sister, it would not be a good thing.
Seeing that his father and brother had given up on marrying the Jia family, Wang Ziteng said eagerly: "What is my father's face? If you think about it, the Jia family was born in martial arts, two generations of the Three Kingdoms, how many old ministry relationships there are in the army, and the two sons of Rong Guogong, Jia Yu is now in the army as an errand in the saint, and Jia Zheng is now studying abroad and will also be in the army in the future. The eldest son of Ning Guogong died early, and the second son Jia Jing was already a person in the examination. I'm afraid that those old ministry relationships are going to belong to the historians who have a relationship with each other, if our Wang family can marry them, although we can't take them all over, we will benefit somewhat. β
Wang Hao listened to his son's words, nodded in agreement, and was even more happy with his son's scheming, but when he saw the eldest son on the side, he couldn't help but sigh, although Sheng'er was good, he was too lenient, and it was still a little worse than Teng'er. As the head of the family, the head of the family still has to be decisive in killing, which is better. If the two of them were replaced, it would be nice if Teng'er was the eldest son. Alas, forget it, the ancestral family law is still there, and it will be taught slowly in the future.
The prince's father looked at the two hearts of ripples, Wang Zisheng knew since he was a child that his younger brother was more capable than him, stronger than him, and more suitable than him to be the head of the Wang family, but fortunately, he was generous by nature and never jealous. The same is true of Wang Ziteng, he and Jia Zheng are the second sons, but he has known that this family will be the eldest brother since he was a child, and he takes this for granted, and never complains about injustice like Jia Zheng.
"Master, Ning Guofu sent a letter. Wang Fu, the housekeeper outside the door, knocked on the door and replied.
"Come in. β
Wang Fu pushed the door in and presented the letter, Wang Hao tore open the envelope and opened it, looked at it with ten lines, "bang" his hand hammered on the desk, and said angrily: "It's all perfunctory, is it that my Wang family's daughter is still worthy of his second son of the Jia family, I really look down on people." β
Wang Zisheng persuaded: "Father, don't be angry, I don't know what Ning Guogong said." β
"Hmph, what else can I say, Rong Guogong said that Jia Zheng has not returned from his study tour, and this family matter must be discussed when he comes back, and said that although Jia Zheng is the master of his parents, he must also agree with the old lady, so this matter has to be discussed with the old lady. Don't you just don't want to get married? The more this is the case with his Jia family, the more I want to marry him. Wang Hao said hatefully. "Teng'er, not now, you have a break to let people out and say that the Jia family wants to marry the Wang family, remember to be clean, don't let people check our Wang family's head. β
Wang Zisheng felt that it was inappropriate, if it was really good to do this, it would not be a marriage, and he hurriedly said: "Father, I'm afraid it's not good to do this, if you really get married, it's the sisters who suffer, she is going to marry into the Rongguo Mansion." β
"What are you afraid of, if you have a chance, you are afraid that the Jia family will not treat your sister harshly, and the Jia family will not do such a thing for the sake of fame. Wang Hao said indifferently.
Wang Zisheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Ziteng: "Father, although this method is good, but it is also impossible to use it again, don't you plan to marry the daughter of the Shi family for your son? β
Wang Hao also felt reasonable, and ordered: "Wang Fu, go to Shi's house to send a post, and say that my wife and I will visit tomorrow." β
"Yes, sir. β
Coincidentally, Jia Daishan received a letter from Mr. Jia Zheng, which also mentioned Jia Zheng's marriage, which surprised Jia Daishan. came to the old lady's courtyard with the letter, but he didn't expect Jia Shishi to be there, and he also knew that his wife rarely came to his mother's place.
Jia Shishi came to the old lady to ask An Yuan for Jia Yu's business, since Jia Zheng left home, she has been worried day and night, and seeing that Jia Daishan values Jia Yu so much, she is even more worried that there will be no place for Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion in the future. Seeing Jia Yu's high-spirited appearance, he was even more congested, and he always wanted to do something to make him add to the blockage.
After thinking about it for a few days, I saw Zhang Qiong who came to ask for peace and had an idea, Jia Yu is now guarding Zhang Qiong alone, and all the girls in the previous room have been dispatched. As a woman, she knows that in the backyard, wives and concubines will never get along peacefully, if she sends a few girls to Jia Yu, the eldest son will not object, and she can make the eldest daughter-in-law unhappy, so Jia Yu will not be so stable.
But I was afraid that the old lady would object, so I came to the old lady early in the morning, and she even thought about the words, and the old lady is now looking forward to this Jia pardon to give her a great-grandson, and the eldest daughter-in-law has been in the door for a year, and I am afraid that the old lady will be anxious.
"Say hello to the old lady. Jia Shi saluted.
The old lady was a little curious why she came to greet her today, and asked curiously: "Why is the lady here today?"
Jia Shishi said with a kind face: "The daughter-in-law thinks that this pardon is also eighteen, and the eldest daughter-in-law has also been in the door for a year, but there is no movement, do you invite a doctor to come back and see, if there is a disease, we will treat the disease, if there is nothing to do, we can rest assured, give her recuperation." It's good to get pregnant early, and give birth to a great-grandson to the old lady. β
This said to the old lady's heart, during this time, she often talked to Mama Gu about it, and she was afraid that Aunt Liu's medicine would hurt Zhang Qiong's body before, so she had long wanted to ask a doctor to show her, but she was persuaded by Mama Gu. Only now was mentioned by Jia Shi's family, although he was worried that although she had a bad idea, it could be seen that his expression was really planning for Jia Yu, but he still replied: "This child's matter was originally arranged by the mother to send the child, what is the use of you being in a hurry, besides, you didn't get pregnant with Yu'er three years after entering the door." β
Listening to the old lady mention what happened to her back then, I thought of how much bitter medicine she had eaten in order to conceive a baby at that time, and finally gave birth to Jia Yu and was taken away by the old lady. The anger in her heart gradually rose, and she thought that her plan was about to suppress the fire in her heart. smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that it's just that the old man is at the age of Yu'er, and the big girl can be born." But it is not good to have no children and no daughters now. β
"That's what you said, what do you want to do?" The old lady also felt reasonable after hearing this, and most of the children of the family had children β‘β‘, so she asked Jia Shi's plan.
"What does the daughter-in-law have planned, the old lady is still in charge of this matter. When Jia Shishi saw the old lady take the bait, the more obvious the smile on his face. Originally, she wanted her to send the girl to Jia Yu, but thinking about Jia Yu's attitude towards her, even if she sent someone over, she would not be favored, and if it was arranged by the old β‘β‘lady, it would be different. calmed the excitement in his heart, and said: "The daughter-in-law looks at the daughter-in-law in the pardon room, and the daughter-in-law is a little different, who doesn't have a few maids around the masters of people like us." Why don't you choose a few well-born girls, old lady, and put them in Yu'er's room. First, the eldest daughter-in-law is also more relaxed, and second, if you are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, it will also be for the Jia family. β
"This, this, I have to think about it. After hearing this, the old lady was a little hesitant and said, he didn't even arrange people around his son back then, but now he has to arrange it for his grandson. Mama Gu on the side felt that the wife had other intentions, but it felt even worse to let the old lady pick someone, but fortunately, the old lady did not agree.
"There is no urgency in this matter, the old lady thought slowly, she must satisfy Yu'er. Jia Shishi was anxious, but he was afraid that he would be too anxious to make the old lady suspicious, so he replied along the way.
At this time, Jia Daishan happened to come in, and the old lady was thinking about Jia Shi's words and didn't notice it, but Jia Shishi saw it first, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Why did the old lady come here at this time, is there something wrong?"
Jia Daishan saw that his mother was sad and Jia Shishi looked happy, so he said: "Why did you come to my mother? What is the matter, Mr. Zheng'er has sent a letter, and it just so happens that you will also refer to it in detail." β
Jia Shishi was even more happy when he heard the news of Jia Zheng, but after thinking about it, Jia Daishan came to the old lady for the first time after getting the news, and he was very angry, Zheng'er was brought up by her, but she didn't dare to show anything in front of Jia Daishan, so she had to ask: "What did Mr. say, Zheng'er is good now, and he doesn't eat well after being outside for so long, and whether he is warm or not is really worried." β
Seeing that the worry on her face was not fake, it could be seen that she was sincere, Jia Daishan softened in his heart and said: "Zheng'er is fine, there is a gentleman watching, and the little girl you arranged, how can it be bad?"
