CHAPTER XLVI
While listening to Xu Hui's report, Xu Ze, who was practicing calligraphy, looked calm, as if unconscious, until she mentioned Liu Zhan, he paid a little attention and asked Fang Cai's words. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The reason why Xu Ze asked this was not to get an answer from Xu Hui, because then, he said in a subtle, seemingly emotional, and as if with some melancholy voice: "I still remember that when I was old and crowned, when I just entered the political arena, Qian Zong was the assassin of Xuzhou, and he supervised the military of Xu, Yan, and Qingzhou, and then entered the Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions. After a few years, I became too punctual in the party, and he had already paid homage to the Taiwei, and was named the county prince of Nancheng, and he was powerful and powerful, and no one was disrespectful. At that time, the Huiji Qian family was undoubtedly one of the top forces with the surname Wu, and even the Zhending Guo family, the head of the Shangqiao surname, did not shrink back. Unexpectedly, just more than 20 years later, his descendants were bullied to such an extent. The Liu family didn't even do the superficial kung fu, and no one spoke for it, and the Qian family who joined Danyang looked very unhappy! ”
Xu Hui stood at the desk, grinding ink for Xu Ze, and didn't say anything.
Both of them knew what a dark, dirty, and cruel truth was hidden beneath the family's glamorous exterior. For all families, what they fear most is that they will have no successor, even the top casters.
If there is no heir who is smart enough to inherit his mantle and quickly climb to the peak of power, the once illustrious and sycophant family will soon be drowned in the family's brutal political turmoil and slowly marginalized. In the end, apart from a seemingly noble surname and a prominent family tree, there was no money to maintain the mansion, let alone be respected by others. Therefore, many families pretend to be disdainful of marrying with the imperial family on the surface, but in fact, they send their own girls into the royal family, or sacrifice a slightly better son in the clan to marry the princess, in order to keep themselves from being forgotten, even Xie Jun's eldest son, Xie Lun's eldest brother, is also a princess.
The Huiji Qian clan rose too fast, offended too many people, and did not have enough good descendants, both men and women, so it also declined so quickly. It has only been ten years since the death of the Duke Qian Zong in Nancheng County, and his children and grandchildren are still serving as officials with three to seven grades in the court, but they have no real power, and his grandson-in-law dares to slap the face of the Qian family like this.
"If my grandfather is in the center and promotes the Qian family without a trace, it will definitely cause a good reaction, at least it can provoke a storm in Yangzhou." Seeing that Xu Ze had no intention of practicing calligraphy, Xu Hui stopped grinding ink and said calmly, "Being located in the north ensures our safety, but we can't interfere in the rights struggle between the surname Wu and the surname Qiao, so we can only say that the pros and cons are mixed." ”
When Xu Ze heard this, he smiled disappreciatively, and said lightly: "The clear and beautiful Jiangnan has long been stirred up by them and reduced to a pool of turbid and smelly sludge. If it is changed to a peaceful year, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you will naturally have to jump down, but now...... Besides, it's not impossible to mention the descendants of the Qian Sect silently. Speaking of this, he changed his words and instructed Xu Hui, "Today's Yang Zhai, the team of the three surnamed families has gradually arrived, and you know more about the ladies in the land of Jiangnan." is to pay attention to it, among the families surnamed Wu or Jia, which family is beautiful but short-sighted, the husband has soft ears, and the daughter is good-looking but a little arrogant. If the other party's mother or the other party himself has the desire to marry into the East Palace, or marry the kings, it is naturally the best. I want to choose one of these women for your brother and be my Xu clan wife. ”
Listening to Xu Ze's unbelievable request, Xu Hui couldn't help but raise his head, looked at his grandfather, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Brother is the eldest grandson of the Xu family, and his wife must be the future grandmother of the Xu family." Which family chooses the woman of the sect, not to the good come, how to ...... My sister-in-law in my previous life was very ......"
"Although Xun's is good, it is too prominent, and it is too slippery to keep his hands." Xu Ze's expression was faint, and he had no caution in deciding on the marriage of his grandson, "In order to confuse everyone, it is imperative to marry with the surname Wu or Qiao, you know...... I can't let you marry Su Su in the south, be isolated, and repeat the mistakes of your previous life. In this way, only by letting Heng'er marry a woman with a prominent surname but a bad temper can we show our sincerity even more. Such a woman naturally grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and her temper is the same, how can she endure my Xu's many family rules and stay in the Xu family? Heng'er is a man in the end, no matter what temperament the other party has, no matter how irritable he is, no matter how troublesome he is, he takes advantage of the marriage. has no wife's virtue, as well as the lust of concubines and maids, all kinds of tactfulness, all kinds of flattery, and will never make life too boring. In that case, as the heir of the Xu family, why can't he make some sacrifices? ”
Xu Ze didn't need to say any more, Xu Hui already understood what he meant.
The girl's vision and the management of the marriage are completely different things, and the more arrogant the woman, the more she does not understand the obligations that a woman should shoulder after getting married. The more time passed, the more she regretted why she didn't marry into the royal family and enjoy a better life, so as to infinitely beautify the life of the royal family, and so on, and the degree became deeper and deeper. And the other party's short-sighted and distressed daughter's mother, as well as the father who has weak ears and has no opinions, will also regret it after being picked up for a long time. Coupled with the other party's high background, and the unpredictable situation five years later...... The daughter of a family who has married once has her status invisibly lowered, and she can be a side concubine, unlike the one who was destined to be a concubine in the past. In this way, the smart and not so smart family will definitely be tempted.
Shangdang Xu's family is destined to compete in the world, but as Xu Ze said, Yingchuan Xun's family is too prominent, and it is too slippery to keep his hands, and he will not vigorously support you because of the so-called "in-laws", and maybe he will deliberately maintain a relationship that is not far away. The Xu family's inner house, with the management of the Ping family, as well as Mrs. Zhong's assistance and suppression, is very harmonious. Since you can't get strong foreign aid by virtue of your in-laws, it's better not to, at the critical moment, you don't need to get another smart person to come out and fight for power with your mother-in-law, so that the back house can't live in peace.
Of course, if the other party reins in his arrogant temperament and is a good wife and mother, it is naturally the best. Jiangnan and Shangdang are separated by a Yangtze River plus the entire Yuzhou, and the other party is not from a top family, even if he wants to help, the Xu family is beyond his reach. If this one wins, glory and wealth, endless glory, naturally indispensable.
In the Taiping era, it was undoubtedly a good thing for the second- and third-class families surnamed Wu to marry their daughters into the Shangdang Xu family as the clan wife, and it was a good thing in the war era...... It can only depend on each person's vision and choice.
Xu Hui knew that Xu Ze must not have told Mrs. Zhong when he asked him like this. Because Xu Hui's thinking mode is gradually transforming into a ruthless politician, unlike Mrs. Zhong, who retains the softness of his heart.
Although I still feel a little sorry for my brother in my heart, after all, everyone will have expectations and yearning for their marriage. But as Xu Ze said, no matter how irritable the woman is, she can't go beyond the man. No matter what kind of marriage, it is the man who takes a big advantage, not to mention that Xu's goal is not above the love of these children. If he is defeated, his wife and concubine are accepted by others, and he loses his own life, why should he care about the face of the defeated army? If he wins, the elder brother will be the emperor's grandson, the heir of the future empire, only the woman will stick upside down, plus laugh at his ex-wife, who would dare to say that he is not? It was Xu Hui who hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and asked, "During this time, the granddaughter must accompany her sister more and participate in the gathering between women. Dare to ask grandfather, how much should the other party's age be different from that of his brother? ”
"If you are of the same age or one year older, it is naturally best to go down for more than two years, and not more than three years old." Xu Ze said without hesitation, "When Heng'er is fifteen, I want to see the bride enter the door." ”
"The granddaughter remembers that when her grandfather refused Liang Kui's request for marriage, he said that the woman gave birth before she gave birth, and the child she gave birth to was extremely difficult to support, so she wanted to stay with her sister for two more years." Xu Hui smelled the ominous meaning from Xu Ze's short two sentences, and couldn't help but show a little melancholy, "Is it possible, brother's body is ......."
Xu Ze shook his head lightly and denied Xu Hui's judgment: "Although Heng'er's body is not as strong as yours and cannot carry out high-intensity exercise, in general, there is no big problem, the reason why I am so urgent is just because I am afraid of a case." ”
Thinking of this, Xu Ze couldn't help sighing.
He said that there was no successor to Qian Zong, so why not himself? In order to get the right to speak in the family faster, he had no conscience, and at the age of fourteen, he married the Huo family, who was less than thirteen years old.
For the people of this era, especially the people in the Northland, the crown seems too far away, and many times, getting married means maturity, and having a son means having a successor and truly becoming an adult. Because of this, Xu Ze did not wait for the other party to grow up like the protagonists in many novels, but desperately wanted a child in order to show his strength earlier, and Huo also hoped to give birth to a child as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in his in-law's family. The two hit it off, and it was Huo Shi who gave birth to their first son Xu Rong a year and a half later, but they didn't expect that because both parents were too young, Xu Rong was smart and smart, but his health was always bad, bumping and struggling, struggling to grow so big, but he still ...... Huo Shi also burned out his life prematurely and ...... early Thinking that Ping also gave birth to Xu Heng when he was fifteen years old, the doctor also said that Xu Heng could not carry out high-intensity activities, and the medical conditions in this era were too poor, Xu Ze had to prepare for the worst.
The word "in case" made Xu Hui silent for a long time, until he pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard, Xu Heng, who was waiting outside, asked lazily: "Do you need to ask your grandfather's opinion for so long?" ”
Xu Hui suppressed the worry in his heart and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have been grinding my grandfather for a long time, and he finally promised to let me and my brother live in the Zhong family for a few days and accompany my aunt and sister!" ”
