Chapter 097: An Lao Taijun's Plans
Mulan has never seriously considered the issue of life, and for her, getting married is a very distant and ethereal thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she was in the fishing village, Xiu Gu moved the idea of marrying her to Shanzi, but she didn't take it to heart, just watched it as a farce. At this time, when I heard Mrs. Chang ask, I suddenly realized that she is no longer a person who comes and goes freely and can decide everything by herself.
In these years, marriage events pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Although she has no parents, she has a grandmother with a special status, and her grandmother's order is also inviolable.
Thinking about it, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked at Mrs. An.
Mrs. An knew that there must be something to do when Mrs. Chang said this, so she only pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "She is over twelve years old, so it stands to reason that she should start paying attention."
But our grandparents have just been reunited, and I want to keep her with me for a few more years. Family, don't be busy first, it's not too late to wait for her to be two years older. ”
Mulan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, if Mrs. An wanted to kiss her immediately, she really didn't know what to do. If she doesn't resist, she will become a victim of an arranged marriage, resist, and then make Mrs. An angry, the emperor can't spare her and don't say it, she can't live on her conscience.
Although the worries are still there, she will be safe for at least the next two years.
"I can understand Taijun's feelings, it took ten years for your ancestors and grandchildren to reunite, and Mulan is so well-behaved and sensible, and likable, if it were me, I would be reluctant to give her to someone early. Mrs. Chang quietly echoed Mrs. An, but she couldn't help but be disappointed in her heart.
She had a cold physique, and she was not pregnant for several years, and she did not have a daughter until she was twenty years old, and gave birth to a son a year later. After that, there was no movement for several years, and when I saw that I was almost thirty years old, I gave birth to a second son.
I lost my body when I gave birth to the second child, and I would never have any children next to me in this life. How did you know that when you were over thirty-five years old, you had another son? Because of the unexpected joy, the husband and wife were very fond of this little son.
When Chang Huaiyuan was convicted and imprisoned, his youngest son was only six years old. Seeing the Imperial Guards rushing through the door viciously to arrest people, the originally lively child was frightened, and since then he has lost his temper.
In the prison, adults and children are divided into separate custodys. Without the company and guidance of his parents, the child became more and more dull and silent. Now that he is over seventeen years old, he is in the prime of his life, and his peers are either reading and improving, or riding horses and hunting, and indulging in play, but he sits in his room all day long, and has no interest in anything.
She and Chang Huaiyuan didn't persuade and enlighten him, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect. I thought about telling him a family affair, but when I got married, I had a caring daughter-in-law to accompany me, and I was hoping that he would get better. He is often cautious about the situation between the DPRK and China, and is afraid of further changes, so he refuses to marry others easily.
When I saw Mu Lan just now, I saw that this little girl was born well-being, generous and well-behaved, so I moved my mind.
There are no men in the Guogong Mansion, and they are not involved in the situation of the imperial court, so the two families can get married without Chang Huaiyuan's concerns.
If you talk about the right door, the Guogong Mansion is indeed a little worse. At present, it seems that there are lords and nobles, and there is no male to inherit it, isn't it a temporary glory? To put it bluntly, the Guogong Mansion is gold and jade on the outside, and empty on the inside. Marrying a girl from the Xie family will not help the future family business.
Although she doesn't want to belittle her son, if he keeps being so stupid and doesn't think about doing anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make a big difference in the future, and what if he finds a powerful Yue family?
Having said that, there is Chang Huaiyuan, as well as the first two hard-working and motivated sons, and he is not needed to stand up to the door and glorify his ancestors. With the shadow of his father and brother alone, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.
As long as he marries a good daughter-in-law and has a few more promising sons, he will not worry that there will be no successors in his lineage.
According to her thoughts, Mrs. An should also be happy to marry the Chang family. There are no men in the Guogong Mansion, so how easy is it for their grandparents and grandchildren to support a huge family business?
The Chang family's current status in the court can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and if you want to bully the Chang family's in-laws, which one must weigh your own weight first?
This family affair can be described as perfect, and the only thing that is not beautiful is that Mulan is too young to marry the third child immediately. But it's not too late, and it's okay to wait for three or two years. Family affairs must be, the third child knows that he is about to have a daughter-in-law and a family, maybe he can arouse a man's sense of responsibility?
I thought it well, but I didn't expect to hit a soft nail here in Mrs. An.
She had to admit that she deserved the nail. The girl from the Xie family has just returned home, and she has not officially recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, and she mentioned family affairs when she first met with others, which was really anxious.
There is no way, who told her to love her son and really like Mulan? lest it be too late, this perfect girl will be snatched by others.
Disappointment is disappointment, in the end, a cultured person can't do that stalking. The bento didn't think about it, and gently brought this stubble over.
After gossiping for a while, Mrs. Chang invited Mrs. An to take Mulan to Chang's Mansion another day, and then got up to say goodbye.
This head sent Mrs. Chang away, and Hongyu led the tailor to Yu Ting Pavilion and tailored Mu Lan. There were also two thick patterns, and she was asked to choose her favorite ones from them and make a few sets of jewelry.
What Mrs. Chang said to Mrs. An was clearly heard by Hongyu outside. Because I felt that the Chang family had a good family style, I didn't quite understand why Mrs. An refused.
After sending Mulan away, he inquired into Mrs. An's thoughts, "Madam, I think Mrs. Chang has taken a fancy to our girl and wants to marry us......
"I know. Mrs. An knew what Hongyu really wanted to say, "The Chang family is not suitable." ”
Hongyu was puzzled, "Why is it not suitable? The Chang family is one of the best people in a million......"
"It's because it's a good person that it's not suitable. Mrs. An closed her eyes a little tiredly, "Mulan is the only descendant of the Xie family, if she marries, how can she stand up to the door and continue the glory for the Guogong Mansion?"
"Madame is trying to recruit the girl?!" Hongyu shouted, covering her mouth again.
She should have thought that Madame was planning to recruit the girl.
It is not uncommon in the Great Jin Dynasty to recruit money, but it is more in the merchants or the countryside. However, in the hearts of the vast majority of people, it is very humiliating to be rich, which is equivalent to abandoning the father's surname and turning away from the ancestors. If he is not really desperate, no man is willing to get involved.
The Chang family is a real high-ranking family, don't say that asking their son to enter the government mansion, just mentioning the word "into the country" in front of them is an insult to them.
figured out the trick, and was deeply worried about the future of Mulan and the Guogong Mansion. Men from good families are not happy to be rich, so can those who are willing to be rich be good men?
