The order of his mother and father, the words of the matchmaker, Jiang Mengzhen wants to marry innocently, and if he is not criticized by others, his marriage will inevitably be decided by Jiang's mother.
If he could find a high-ranking and powerful person to come to the door to propose marriage, then Jiang's mother naturally did not dare to refuse. But the high-ranking and powerful ones are either the emperor's former favorite ministers, or the queen's daughters, at his age, these queens' daughters are not the right age, and the right age is married early.
He is the son of the prince of the state, how can he marry someone else to serve for the so-called freedom of marriage.
Sensing that the Zhang family wanted to manipulate his marriage, Jiang Mengzhen contacted his grandfather's family early. Originally, his maternal grandmother was angry with his mother because of his father's early death, and she was also angry with him, the son of the Jiang family.
But then he tried to repair his relationship with his grandfather and grandmother, seeking their pity and refuge by deliberately revealing pity.
Twelve months a year, he lived in his grandfather's house for almost a quarter of the year, learning things with those female monarchs, he learned everything, and he had the ability to never forget, poetry, books, piano and chess.
However, he still hides part of his strength, and although he performs well, he is by no means overpowered. If he is better than those female monarchs in his grandfather's mansion, he will inevitably attract their jealousy.
Because of pity for him, when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, his maternal grandfather had already chosen a marriage for him, and chose one of his cousins, who was seven months younger than him, and his grandfather promised him that his cousin would marry only one of him in the future, and there would be no messy roommates.
When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, both of whom were suitable for marriage, his grandfather urged his cousin to come to the door to propose.
But his aunt had an accident at this time, and he didn't wait for his cousin's proposal, but waited for the news that his aunt, who was a general, had died on the battlefield.
According to the Lin family's rules of filial piety, his cousin had to follow the example of the sages and keep filial piety for three years before she could come to propose to him. And his maternal grandfather and grandmother were so sad because of the loss of their daughter that they had no time to take care of him as a grandson.
In fact, at first, he knew that his cousin didn't like him enough, purely out of responsibility, but even if he didn't like it, it didn't matter, he didn't like her, and he didn't feel sad about it.
As long as the wife and husband respect each other as guests, and the other party respects him as a righteous ruler outside and does not interfere in his life, this is an excellent marriage.
Men in the Jin Dynasty could marry at the age of fourteen, while women were sixteen. Of course, the rules are dead, and if there are special circumstances, then there can be flexibility.
He originally thought that it didn't matter if he was a few years later, he could stay at home longer, and then take the opportunity to take back the part of the dowry left to him by his biological father, the Lin family. As a result, when he was seventeen years old, the Lin family asked him to wait for another three years.
It's just a matter of waiting, but the relics of the Lin family were successfully taken back.
Although Zhang was very reluctant, his mother Jiang Min was used to relying on him at this time, she was seventeen years old, and in many families, men began to learn to take charge of finances at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it was impossible for Zhang to teach him this.
He learned by himself, and he did things in an orderly manner, and if there was a banquet in the house, he would run it all by himself, and the Zhang family couldn't reprimand him for being ignorant, so he was extremely unwilling to hand over the key to the treasury in his hand.
After so many years of this large amount of property being occupied by him, how could he not use it. Jiang Mengzhen asked for the dowry list from his maternal grandfather when the Lin family got married, and counted those things on the spot in front of his mother. As he expected, Zhang took a large part of it, which was a third less according to the dowry list.
Jiang Min was naturally angry, if the Lin family took it out to supplement the family, it would be fine, but the Lin family died early, according to the laws of the Jin Kingdom, the Lin family had to leave these things to his own children. The Lin family and Jiang Min only had a child like Jiang Mengzhen, and the successor took the dowry of the predecessor, which made her shameless.
Jiang Min hadn't started to have a real seizure yet, but Zhang Shi shouted on the spot: "I didn't take that silver to give you some money, I used it for my own expenses, if Brother Lin was here, he would definitely do it." ”
Jiang Mengzhen sneered, just wanted to say something, he saw Zhang's expression excited, and then suddenly covered his stomach and fell backwards, his mother hurriedly asked someone to help, and the doctor was invited to the house to diagnose the pulse, and after the pulse diagnosis, he congratulated him repeatedly, saying that Zhang was pregnant.
Since that time, Zhang had no children, and he has not been pregnant for several years. The doctor said that he had injured his body in the previous miscarriage, and for the sake of the Jiang family's incense, Jiang Min accepted a very docile man to come in as a side husband, but the other party had been in the house for two years and only gave birth to a son. In the seventh or eighth year of the Zhang family, it was not easy to conceive a child again, whether it was a man or a woman, it was enough for Jiang Min to pay attention to it.
The pregnant husband can't be angry, and he can't be harsh, Jiang Min naturally can't attack Zhengjun who is pregnant again, and the matter will be over. Jiang Mengzhen became more and more cold to his own mother, and took advantage of Zhang's pregnancy to take the opportunity to take over the power of the house on the grounds that he could not work too hard.
At that time, he didn't think about doing anything to the Zhang family, although the people around the Zhang family were strictly controlled, but he held the power in the house, and it was still very easy to get a medicinal powder. But he was worried about the family affection Jiang Min gave him, although he didn't like Zhang, but thinking of the child in his belly, in the end, he still had half the same blood as him, and in the end he couldn't bear to do it.
Zhang's stomach is very competitive, and she has been a daughter all her life. Although his body was a little weaker, it was still enough to make Jiang Min overjoyed, and he held a banquet for many days.
Jiang Mengzhen leaned on Hao Cheng's arms and said in a quiet tone: "At that time, my mother often thought that my father was good, and it was not bad for me. But when she had a daughter, she began to see me as a thorn in the flesh, as if I was going to kill hers. ”
Jiang Min is a soft-eared person with no skills, and when he relies on his capable son, he is a little jealous of this son. Especially after Zhang gave birth to a daughter, she was even more uneasy. Because the doctor said that Zhang's body is not good, it is likely that she will not be able to conceive a child after giving birth to this, the Jiang family has always had a thin heir, and she is very likely to have such a daughter in this life.
Everything in the Jiang family is to be left to his son, Jiang Mengzhen loves money so much, and he can't wait to hold his biological father's money in his hands not long after he becomes an adult, and firmly grasp the power of the housekeeper, obviously a man with a strong desire for power.
The Zhang family blows the wind in front of her all day long, probably worried that Jiang Mengzhen will murder his own sister for the sake of the successor Jiang family.
Hao Cheng touched the top of his head as a reassurance, Jiang Meng's hair is really fine and soft, and it is not like those men who apply grease and powder to apply greasy hair oil, it is clean and refreshing to the touch.
She asked softly, "And then, did he find a bad marriage for you, and your mother agreed?" ”
Jiang Mengzhen changed her sitting posture so that she could lean more comfortably: "She naturally agreed, for fear that I would harm her precious daughter, so she couldn't wait to marry me off." I was trying to contact the people outside, but the letter was cut off. Many of them didn't think about going out and breaking the jar to find one, but they were worried that it would be worse, maybe because I was still greedy for the glory and wealth, and I didn't have the courage at that time. ”
He said this self-deprecatingly, but Hao Cheng put his hand against his lips: "You are naturally good, they forced you." "The words of the matchmaker of the parents, unless there is no father and no mother, free love will only be regarded as a private gift. There are many rules in the mansion, Jiang Mengzhen is fine if he is a woman, he is a man, if he has a bad reputation, he is also the one who is difficult to mix.
Jiang Mengzhen was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, she was still a high school student when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and her parents didn't even allow early love. In her opinion, Jiang Mengzhen is already very remarkable. It is inevitable that there will be concerns about such an eccentric mother and a bad-hearted stepfather.
Jiang Mengzhen said again: "For various reasons, I finally married the marriage chosen by the Zhang family, on the surface, the person he picked was very good, there was no one in the room, he was young, his appearance was good, and his family background was also quite comparable, and he was the only daughter of General Weiyuan." ”
Zhang's naturally won't treat him badly on the bright side, the only daughter of General Weiyuan sounds good, but she is really very romantic, and the official room is not accepted, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she has been messing with the room, and she also likes Fengyue places, and she was hollowed out by wine at a young age.
General Weiyuan died a long time ago, and Wei Yanan just relied on the shadow of his late mother to hang up a fat man with no name and power, and he just had no ability. Wei Yanan's biological father also had a handkerchief relationship with Zhang, and the relationship was so good that he didn't have to think about it, if he married, just his father-in-law's ordeal would be enough for him.
He said in a low voice: "My father-in-law and my stepfather have a handkerchief relationship, and they have an excellent relationship, so they naturally want to wait for me to marry and learn from me." Even if I die in the house, they can find the cause and easily bring the matter over. The wedding day was very beautiful, but on the day of the wedding, Wei Yanan went to the Qinglou and stayed there for a night, which made me a joke in the whole capital. Not long after, she fell ill with willow disease. ”
Of course, he was telling the truth, but he also hid a lot from Hao Cheng. For example, Wei Yanan looked at him and looked good-looking, and he went to his room on the wedding day, but because of his childhood, he was too sensitive to that kind of obscene eyes, and he didn't react to her at all.
Wei Yanan was served and managed again on weekdays, and it had always been those men who were ready to let her go, but Jiang Mengzhen showed no signs of hardening at all. Her movements were extremely rude, and Jiang Mengzhen was even more unresponsive. She grabbed him on the spot, slapped him, spat on him for a while, and walked away.
When he came out with that slap the next day, he knew that he had become a joke in the whole capital. His temperament is extremely proud, if he had encountered such humiliation in the Jiang family in the past, he would have stepped forward and tore people apart. But at that time, because of Jiang Min, he miscalculated for a while, and the people he originally stayed in Jiang Mansion couldn't be contacted, so he could only endure it silently.
Wei Yanan didn't think about touching him afterwards, but he also had sex with him several times. But he thought it was disgusting. Such a woman, why let him put down his body to serve him.
Even if he needed to be patient, he would definitely not be able to make such a sacrifice. In order to let this period of grinding his days end early. , he used medicinal powder every time, which made Wei Yanan hallucinate. On the day of the wedding, he was investigated very strictly, and he didn't even lose a single hair. When he got married, he had the freedom to act, and it was easy to use simple materials to make psychedelic medicine powder that his father taught him.
He endured it in the house for a while, and saved a beauty who was thrown out by Qinglou and had flower willow disease, only to push it lightly in the back, Wei Yanan took the bait, and soon contracted flower willow disease and died.
His medical skills are good enough for Wei Yanan, but she wants to harm him when she is sick, he is the mastermind of this matter, how can he expose his medical skills to save her. Wei Yanan loves to visit the Qinglou too much, and no one thinks it is strange that he will get sick and get dirty.
She didn't get fast, the old lady who had always been tough in the house was too sad because of the loss of her daughter, and she fell ill again all of a sudden, and the house was in chaos, Jiang Mengzhen, as Wei Yanan's righteous monarch, naturally took over the affairs of the house and quickly supported the family. In just half a year, he firmly held all the power in his hands.
The old man thought of a way to torture him, soaked in cold water and knelt in the ancestral hall, and said insulting words, he originally wanted to let him go with his daughter, but then he thought about it, or just added a little medicine to the other party's medicine, and the old lady Wei, who was strong and strong, has been sick since then.
He knew all these filthy things, so naturally there was no need to tell his scholars, so as not to scare people away.
Hao Cheng said sullenly: "You have lived so hard, I feel sorry for you, but if you hadn't met that Wei Yanan, it would have been impossible to meet me, for this, I am a little lucky, you say I am not very bad." ”
Jiang Mengzhen raised his head and kissed her chin: "Of course not, you are very good, and it is so good to treat me." ”
Speaking of getting married, Hao Cheng remembered one more thing: "Since this is the case, then when should I propose to you, we get along every day like this, it is inevitable that people will criticize." ”
Although she still wants to get along for a while, there is no talk of breaking up in this era, since she is going to get married sooner or later, it is better to get married earlier, so as not to let people grab the handle and say that they are privately taught or something.
Since she wants to take the road of the imperial examination, the innocent reputation of the scholar must always be considered.
Jiang Mengzhen was stunned, he didn't expect Hao Cheng to take the initiative and bring it up so early, a certain part of his heart was a little softer, and he had the courage to kiss Hao Cheng's mouth: "Don't worry about this matter, you listen to me, let's take our time." ”
His reputation has long been ruined by Wei Yanan, but Hao Cheng has to be clean. 166 Reading Network
