Chapter 120

Because of the hospitality of You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Sanchun and Dai Yubao are all happy.

The next day, the You family came to talk to their grandmother Chen about what Sister Feng said, and Mrs. You was overjoyed. Chanting the Buddha in the mouth. He took the second sister's hand and smiled: "I knew that you should be a blessed person." What now, do as I say? ”

The second sister was already so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she lowered her head writhingly, just fiddling with her clothes and being silent.

Only Third Sister You felt that something was wrong, and frowned and asked: "The former child had tea with the edicts of various families in Chen Yuan, and I heard someone mention it in a trance, saying that the Beijing Mansion is discussing marriage with the second daughter of the Zhen family in Jiangnan. It can't be wrong to say that there is a nose and eyes? ”

You Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "As the saying goes, a family has a hundred women to ask for, maybe the two of them discussed it once, and it is not known if it is inappropriate." Marriage is a good marriage with two surnames, so it is natural to be cautious in every way, how many families are accurate? ”

Third Sister You thought about it and didn't speak. But Mrs. You was busy asking: "Even if you say that you have fallen in love with the second sister of our family, I don't know when the Beijing Mansion will send someone to propose marriage?" “

You Shi spoke quickly, and hurriedly smiled: "The princess of Beijing is also afraid of being abrupt, so she sent Wang Ziteng's wife to the Chen Mansion to inquire about the situation......

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. You was stunned. She glanced at the Chen family a little uncomfortably, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, children's marriages have been subject to the orders of their parents, and this Mrs. Wang is very strange, why didn't she come to our You family to inquire about the news, but went to the Chen family?" Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? ”

When the people heard this, they did not answer. Only Second Sister You had a red face and bright eyes, thinking about the future.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Ziteng's wife came out of the Chen family, the matter was not resolved. Chen couldn't bear the urging of the old lady and the second sister, so he had to go home and ask for an understanding. Only then did I know that it was Chen Qi who did not agree with this family affair, and declined with a smile.

Chen was stunned when he heard this, and grabbed his eldest sister-in-law Feng's hand and asked eagerly, "Why did you refuse?" Such a character with all four corners is still one of the four kings with different surnames, and I have also seen the King of Beijing, who has a noble character, gentle and elegant, and a rare young man. Why didn't my brother fall in love with others? ”

Feng Shi smiled when he heard this: "Your brother also said that this King of Beijing is good anywhere, only because of this identity." One of the four kings with different surnames, it sounds very noble. But what is the attitude of the imperial court towards these kings with different surnames, although my sister is in the inner house, she should have heard of it. Your brother also doesn't want to get too close to these noble ministers, so as not to be difficult to do in front of the saints in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Shi unconsciously lowered his voice, and subconsciously looked around, although these slaves and maids were all confidants, Feng Shi still couldn't stop whispering: "I will only tell you one sentence about this." I heard that the imperial court ...... It has the meaning of cutting the feudal domain. ”

The last few words, Feng's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

After saying these words, Feng Shi smiled again, first looked at the sister-in-law, and then looked at the second sister and the third sister, and then said: "Our Chen family originally started from a humble time, and your brother happened to be trusted by today's people because of fate, so that he could rise to the top in the officialdom and be promoted to a second-class member in just a few years. Of course, this is because your brother is capable and can share the worries of today's affairs. But it is also because your brother is from a poor family and has little power behind him, so he dares to use it with confidence today. Now there are four kings and eight princes in the court, and there are those meritorious old ministers, all of whom are in contact with each other. To put it mildly, if they have any thoughts, if they really join forces, the saints will also have a headache. It is in order to be more loyal to His Majesty that your brother is extremely careful in the marriage of his children. Brother Huan married the eldest daughter of the Xu Zichuan family. Although this Xu Zichuan is from Hanlin, his official position is below your brother. Not to mention Sister Wan. Because of the family relationship with Hu Dongjia of Yutai Commercial Bank, although Hu Dongjia is a businessman, his grandson Hu Jinzhong is a prisoner of Guozijian, and he was admitted to the examination last year. If Enke can be named on the gold list next year, Sister Wan will also marry. ”

Feng's words were not too thorough. However, obedient and obedient, Chen Qi is so cautious and careful in handling the marriage of his own children, not to mention the marriage of his niece's daughter. According to the family background of the You family, they were not worthy of the Beijing Palace. But in order to win over Chen Qi, the princess of Beijing even pushed the daughter of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and begged Wang Ziteng's wife to come to their Chen family to inquire about the situation?

What is Beijing Wangfu trying to do?

Even if Chen Qi thought about it with his knees, he knew that the Beijing Mansion was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink. It's a pity that he doesn't have the heart to deal with these old ministers with different surnames. As long as you can get by on face, it's okay. Anyway, his promotion and fortune relied on today's saints, not these meritorious old ministers!

Even if the second sister doesn't know the movements of the court as well as the third sister, she is also a smart person in Bingxue. Hearing what his aunt said, he understood his uncle's thoughts. She glanced at her aunt with some amazement, bowed her head and said nothing.

Feng Shi looked at the second sister's small appearance as if she had been beaten by frost, smiled, took Chen's hand and said, "But your brother has always loved the second sister and the third sister, and only treats them as his own daughters. How can you not worry about the marriage of your two sisters? Therefore, in addition to telling me to keep an eye on it, he also paid attention to it himself. I really took care of the two families for the second sister......"

When Chen heard this, he hurriedly urged: "Which two families, sister-in-law should talk to me quickly." ”

Feng Shi smiled and said, "You also know one of them. It was Liang Hongyu, the elder brother of Liang Hongyu Liang who was invited by the master to teach the girls to bow and ride horses. He was originally a disciple of the Six Princes, and now he is the general of Fuyuan in the fourth rank of the imperial court. At the beginning, the old man and the six princes went to Jiangnan on an errand, and they also dealt with this Liang Fengrao a few times. It is rare for their family to have a rule, but if a man has no heirs in his forties, he can only take a concubine. Our second sister is shy and gentle, and her ears are soft. I also understand the master's thoughts, find a simple family to marry, and live a small life in peace and stability. When the time comes, wouldn't it be happy and smooth to have a few white and chubby babies? It's better than marrying into a prince's mansion and watching her husband mess with her concubine and aunt. ”

When Chen heard this, his heart moved slightly. She herself has suffered the loss of her concubine and aunt. What's more, after so many years, I have watched my brother and sister-in-law alone, and I am naturally very envious. If that Liang Fengrao is really as his brother said, and he still has the ability, it would be good to let the second sister marry into the Liang family.

Besides, she has also seen Liang Hongyu's girl, and she has a lot of energy, which is somewhat similar to the third sister. What's more, after getting along for so many years, he is not a difficult person. The only thing that makes me suspense is one thing......

"How old is that Liang Fengrao this year? Why hasn't he married yet, isn't there something wrong with him? ”

"Where is that?" Feng couldn't help laughing, because he smiled: "This General Liang is only twenty-one and twelve years old this year. Because his parents left early, he only depended on his sister for his life. Over the years, he followed the six princes to do things, and later joined the army to fight a few battles, saved some qualifications, and was promoted to the general of Fuyuan. but delayed his marriage. I think there are great advantages to being bigger. At least it hurts, doesn't it? ”

Chen nodded, and then asked, "What about another family?" ”

"It is the youngest son of Zhang Huaiyu, the first assistant minister of the cabinet. He is 17 years old this year and is a prisoner of Guozijian. has a square personality, and his character and talent are also good, the only fly in the ointment...... That's a concubine. Feng Shi thought for a while, and then added: "But the Zhang family is a scholarly family, and their family is really noble. From Lord Zhang's grandfather's generation, all the way to Lord Zhang's younger sons, all of them were born in the two rankings. Because it is a poet and a scholar, there are many people and rules. ”

Feng himself is from a small family, and for so many years in his in-laws' family, he has been considerate of his in-laws, his husband is favored, and his children are filial, but he is not sensitive to this kind of family of big families. She herself is still inclined to the Liang family, but this is not her daughter's marriage, and her niece and daughter are still separated by a layer. Feng Shi is not easy to say too thoroughly.

If you talk about Zhang Huaiyu, the first assistant of the cabinet, even if the Chen family is a deep house, they have heard of the other party's famous name. With the emperor can be called the general horn of friends, assisted the emperor for more than 60 years, it is said that the emperor is more proud of him than the prince. At the beginning, the emperor wanted to give way to the prince on a whim, but no one else knew, only Zhang Huaiyu knew it. Not only did he know, but he also secretly helped the emperor do a lot of things. Even the water was immediately concealed. It can be seen that the emperor trusts Zhang Huaiyu, and it can be seen that Zhang Huaiyu is a city government.

Chen Qi said these two family affairs for Second Sister You; One Liang Fengrao is the confidant of the six princes, and the other Zhang Huaiyu is the emperor's confidant, the former is a figure who is willing to show favor and reuse today, and the latter is a figure who has to show favor and reuse today.

And Chen Qi, as the most trusted courtier of His Majesty today, if he really married these two families, the influence behind it can be said to be self-evident. Presumably, whether it is the six princes, the current one, or the emperor's line, they will be happy to see such a marriage come to fruition.

The most important thing is that Chen Qi not only took care of the thoughts of his boss and comrades-in-arms, but also took care of the second sister You's temperament. The two families he chose, Liang Fengrao has a good character and ability, and the Zhang family has a good family style, no matter who the second sister You marries, she will not suffer in the future.

can plan the marriage of his younger generation in such a comprehensive way, Chen Jue is really painstaking and lonely, and he wants to break his head.

Chen's mother and daughter are both clear-minded people. Although he missed such an in-law as the Beijing Palace, it really made people sigh. However, when I thought of the situation between the DPRK and China, sure enough, the Beijing Mansion looked bright, but in fact, it was also a big hole.

However, the Liang family and the Zhang family, the two in-laws, can have a good life and think about one or two.
