Chapter 019: "The Matchmaker"
Huo Jinxiu was a close friend of Gu Jia Luo Luo Li, and the two were born in the same year.
Gu Jialuo, who is two months younger than Huo Jinxiu, has been married for more than three years, and his daughter also has a pair, but Huo Jinxiu's marriage is not going well, and he has not yet married.
It's not that Huo Jinxiu was born badly and the market is not good, but she is really unlucky, a good girl's family, she actually met a scumbag.
Three years ago, the Huo family set up a family affair for Huo Jinxiu, and the marriage books were written, but when it was about to get married, the man's grandmother died.
As the eldest grandson, Huo Jinxiu's fiancé has to keep filial piety for three years.
Although the Huo family is a family of military generals, it is a reasonable and rule-abiding family, indicating that they are willing to abide by the marriage contract, and it is not too late to marry the man after his filial piety.
Huo Jinxiu also expressed his willingness to wait.
Jingzhong is full of praise, and they all say that the Huo family has strict rules and etiquette.
In this way, Huo Jinxiu waited, and after twenty-seven months, the man was filial, but he ruined the marriage extremely shamelessly, and he just found an excuse for disagreement and returned Huo Jinxiu, his fiancée.
General Huo was furious, picked up a pair of big axes hanging in the study, and was about to go to the man's house to 'reason'. was stopped by his wife Cui Shi on the way.
As Huo Jinxiu's biological mother, the future son-in-law regretted his marriage, and Cui was extremely angry, but she was a reasonable person.
While being angry, he didn't forget to investigate the reason: Okay, the man would rather offend a military general like the Huo family who holds military power and quit his family, there must be a hidden secret.
Sure enough, Huo Menglong, under the reminder of his wife, gradually calmed down and immediately ordered someone to investigate.
It's okay not to investigate. In this investigation, Huo Menglong, who learned the results, was almost so angry that he vomited blood: Yuwangfu, his mother's Yuwangfu is Yuwangfu. How many years ago are they all grudges? His mother, as the sufferer, did not hold on. Yuwangfu actually continued to embarrass the Huo family.
Could it really be that his Huo family was afraid of the Yu Palace?
He killed his biological mother back then, and now he wants to ruin his biological daughter's family affairs?
Huo Menglong wanted to go to the Yuwang Mansion several times to reason with that group of people, but he was stopped by the Cui family every time.
Cui Shi said calmly: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Even if they are like this, we don't have to worry too much. My grandfather was kind to you back then, and we can't help but repay this kindness, but now my grandfather and his old man are gone. The Yuwang Mansion is not the Yuwang Mansion of the year. So—"
Cui's maternal grandfather is the late King Yu and the eldest princess of Pingyang, Lu Zixiu.
At that time, Lu Zixiu was forced to marry Princess Pingyang, the enemy who killed his wife, and was forced to give up his biological daughter Sister Lu, on the surface. He and Pingyang are a 'loving couple', but secretly they hate this femme fatale very much.
For the safety of the family and family, Lu Zixiu had to make peace with Pingyang; For the sake of his daughter's safety, Lu Zixiu ruthlessly ignored her.
But Lu Zixiu didn't really forget about Sister Lu. Afterward. With the help of Duchess Liu. Sister Lu married the Huo family, a military attache in Beijing.
Lu Zixiu was obviously not obvious, but secretly helped his son-in-law a lot.
The Huo family was able to jump from a small military attache at the middle and low level to the middle and senior military generals in just a few years, and Lu Zixiu made great contributions.
The Huo family was able to catch the big ship of the British Mansion, and it was all up to Lu Zixiu to match.
Before Lu Zixiu died, he quietly handed over the power he was holding to his daughter and son-in-law. Princess Pingyang's mother and son refused to give up on the Huo family, and there may not be no reason for this - the resources of the Lu family, Lu Zixiu did not hand them over to the only heir. But it was handed over to a foreign daughter, and he Lu Zixiu really became a dead princess of Pingyang!
Princess Binh Duong thought she was a winner. not only got the man he loved, but also eliminated the traces of the mother and daughter of the rival mother.
However, it was not until Lu Zixiu died of illness that Princess Pingyang suddenly became alert that her so-called happy life was just a joke. It is estimated that in the eyes of Lu Zixiu, she Pingyang is not a wife at all. Rather, he hates the mortal enemy who can't be eaten alive.
Pingyang has been arrogant and domineering all his life, and he has never been so aggrieved and humiliated.
However, the culprit Lu Zixiu was already dead, and her anger was transferred to other people, such as the Huo family!
So, in the next twenty or thirty years, Princess Pingyang and her only son, the new King Yu, did not know how much trouble they caused to the Huo family, and even forced Mrs. Lu of the Huo family to not enter Beijing for decades.
The mortal enmity between the Lu and Huo families has become deeper and deeper, and it has not been resolved until now, and it has even implicated Huo Jinxiu, the third generation.
Huo Menglong looked at Lu Zixiu's face and made many concessions to the Lu family, but this time, he really couldn't bear it.
Cui's also endured to the end, so he said something like 'Yuwangfu is not the Yuwangfu of the year'. The meaning of her words couldn't be clearer, Lu Zixiu is dead, and the Yuwang Mansion is no longer the Yu Wangfu of the Lu family, but the world of Princess Pingyang's mother and son.
Therefore, Huo Menglong only needs to keep the inheritance of King Yu's mansion, as for the current King Yu and his descendants, they can let Huo Menglong retaliate!
After some persuasion from the Cui family, Huo Menglong completely calmed down and began to secretly arrange, trying to completely solve the scourge of King Yu.
For Yuwangfu, Huo Menglong was so ruthless that he took revenge, not to mention the shameless scumbag who maliciously repented of his marriage and delayed his baby daughter's youth.
On the surface, he looked for the impeachment of the imperial history and secretly stumbled, but after a few faces, Huo Menglong wiped the official position of the future in-laws to the end, and finally kicked out of the capital with a big kick.
cleaned up the family and got angry, but Huo Jinxiu's family affairs were still delayed, and a 'divorced' hat was also buckled on his head.
Huo Menglong and his wife felt sorry for their daughter, and in the past few months, the two of them tried their best to search in Beijing, trying to find a better husband for Huo Jinxiu.
Family background, character, ability, appearance...... Huo Menglong and Cui's sieve picked out the outstanding unmarried men in Beijing, and in the end, Huo Jinxiu personally opened his mouth and selected a good candidate-
"Xie Xiangnan?"
Gu Jialuo squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I remember, he is the younger brother of Xie Xiangdong, a wealthy and scattered person. The Xie family? General Huo actually chose the Xie family, the richest man in Daqi, as his in-laws?! ”
Shinong industry and commerce, from ancient times to the present for thousands of years, the status of merchants has always been the lowest.
Even if it is an imperial businessman, it is still a 'businessman' in the final analysis.
The Huo family has indeed been an official for generations, and the top-level officials and the lowest-level businessmen are not compatible. Especially Huo Jinxiu is not an inconsequential concubine, but the pearl of the Huo family and his wife.
But Huo Menglong gave Huo Jinxiu to the Xie family like this, this, this-
But Gu Jialuo thought about it again, and felt that this family affair was not completely unreasonable.
The Xie family is not an ordinary imperial businessman, but a wealthy and scattered person with a high-grandfather Danshu iron coupon.
The rich and noble people are not the titles of the Eight Classics, but they have supreme glory, and they can be written saints if they don't worship the officials.
In addition, the descendants of the Xie family can enter the imperial examination, which is not comparable to ordinary businessmen.
And if Gu Jialuo is not mistaken, Xie Xiangnan is the second son of the family, and he can't inherit the title of 'rich and noble', so he doesn't necessarily have to be an imperial businessman.
Xie Xiangnan did not engage in business, but studied for the imperial examination, and now he has been admitted to the examination. I heard that his studies are very good, and he will probably be able to pass the Jinshi exam next year.
"In this way, it can also be worthy of splendor."
Gu Jialuo muttered to herself, she continued to read the letter, and was surprised to find behind it: "What? I—I'm actually the 'matchmaker' who facilitated this family affair? ”
