Chapter 63: It's a Foregone Conclusion

"Does Yu'er know this son of the Lin family? Why can't he say he can't? ”

Mrs. Tai was very puzzled, according to the information she obtained, Lin Ruhai was very much in line with the criteria for her and Jia Yu to choose a husband for Jia Min - from a scholarly family, with a good family background, a good family education, and a family rule that only concubines can be accepted if they have no children in their forties, they are filial and ambitious, and they are born well and talented according to Xu's words; The family has a simple population, no disputes between brothers and sisters-in-law, and Mother Lin is kind and likes Jia Min quite a bit - except for the slight decline of the family without a title, the conditions are so good that people are really satisfied that they can't be more satisfied.

After knowing about Prince Su's mansion, Mrs. Tai was already mentally prepared that her granddaughter could only marry into a not so satisfactory family in order to avoid trouble, who wanted to be favored by God and put such a good candidate in front of her, but her grandson was against it? Could it be that Lin Hai has some bad rumors outside for his grandson to hear?

As soon as she thought of this possibility, Mrs. Tai felt that her headache was in the mood for seizures again.

Jia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Although this person's grandson has never met him, he has inquired about his sister's marriage before, so he knows some about him. Grandmother, in the eyes of her grandson, Lin Hai's conditions are good, but he is not a good match for his sister. ”

Mrs. Tai said, "What do you say?" I think Lin Gongzi is quite suitable, otherwise he wouldn't work for your sister-in-law to be a matchmaker for him, his condition is that he is not inferior to the little son of Wang Shilang's family before. ”

Zhang Xian said: "The granddaughter-in-law also thinks so, the old lady of the Lin family, the granddaughter-in-law has also met once, she is kind and gentle, presumably the son of the Lin family will not be bad." However, the granddaughter-in-law is in the inner house and doesn't know what is going on outside, and the old man is so sure when he hears the name of the Lin family's son, didn't he hear some bad rumors about the Lin family's son outside? In that case, you have to be cautious. ”

Jia Yu was silent for a while, and Mrs. Tai urged: "Yu'er, is it really as your daughter-in-law said?" ”

Jia Yu secretly flipped through the information about Lin Ruhai that he remembered - there is really not much information, after all, he ignored everything except spending time and drinking in his previous life, and in this life, he thought that he would not ask for that marriage, and naturally he would not have anything to do with Lin Ruhai - he reluctantly found a reason for his grandmother: "Lin Ruhai himself is not a big problem, but his grandson thinks that his family has been passed down for several generations, and he is no longer promising, and without the support of his uncle and brother after Dengke, the future will be difficult." ”

Although he really wanted to deduct Lin Ruhai from a trumped-up charge and let him go out directly, but in that case, his grandmother would definitely come to the Ning Mansion to verify - damn, isn't the Lin family's ancestral home in the south, why did he come to the capital!

Hearing that it was not Lin Ruhai's own problem, Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something, but I don't have to worry about it, it doesn't matter if the family has a small population, I don't know how many troubles I have." As for the future, I think the son of the Lin family is talented, and he will be the dragon and phoenix among the people in the future, and he will not worry about the day when he will not come out, if Min'er follows him, although he looks like he has no decree now, he has nothing to worry about in the future. Moreover, don't be afraid to say a vulgar thing, when he is not yet the first, our family will help him now, and he will be able to add a lot of help to you when he becomes famous in the future. ”

Jia Yu opened his mouth, and wanted to say more, but Zhang Xian, who was sitting opposite him, quietly gave him a look at this time, and stretched out a finger with his left hand where his grandmother couldn't see, pointing in the direction of the small garden where the second room lived.

Jia Yu immediately understood that his grandmother remembered that he and Jia Zheng's brother had a dispute - although his grandmother favored him far more than Jia Zheng, but it was always sad for his two grandsons to fight in the same room - he could only be reluctant to say: "The Lin family is rooted in Jiangnan, and I am afraid that I will return to Jiangnan in the future." Moreover, my grandson heard that the five generations of the Lin family were already members of the Jiangnan Wang clan even in the previous dynasty, but our family started from recklessness and did not have a foothold for a long time, so I am afraid that we will be underestimated by their family. ”

This reason is too far-fetched, even Mrs. Tai can refute it lightly: "Since Lin Gongzi has the intention of gaining fame, he will naturally stay in the capital for a long time, his family is a family heirloom, yes, but our family may not be worse than theirs, if their family has this idea, they will not ask your sister-in-law to kiss." What's more, my Min'er even deserves to be a princess, isn't she worthy of their family? "If you want to talk about family background, who can have a higher family background than the royal family? Mrs. Tai was even a little angry when she spoke.

Jia Yu hurriedly reassured, the old man couldn't be too excited when he was old: "Don't be angry, it's the grandson who wants to go wrong, and the grandfather is the prince of the country, and our family is naturally no worse than the Lin family." The grandson knows that you love your sister and wants to give her the best, but although the Lin family is good, the heirs are difficult, the people are thin, and the front dynasty has been passed down to the present, and the grandson has withered to the point where only Lin Gongzi's mother and son are left, and the grandson is also worried about his sister. ”

Jia Min didn't have a son-in-law after marrying Lin Ruhai - no, it seems that Jia Min was once pregnant with a child, but then it disappeared inexplicably? No matter what, there is no good result anyway-the only daughter is also sick and calamitous, this is the biggest reason why Jia Yu is opposed to this marriage, who wants his sister to fall into that situation?

Moreover, according to his thoughts, the problem of childlessness is still in the final analysis with the Lin family - when Jia Min was sick before, he had vaguely reminded Zhang Xian to ask the imperial doctor, and the answer he got was that Jia Min did not have any problems with his body, and the problem could only be with Lin Ruhai. Let's compare the history of the two families in the previous life - on the side of the Jia family, Jia Daishan has two sons and three daughters, the Shi family gave birth to three brothers and sisters, he has three sons and one daughter, and Jia Zheng also has three sons and two daughters, but what about the Lin family? Generations of single passing!

Therefore, in Jia Yu's eyes, Prince Su's Mansion is certainly a big fire kang that can't be jumped, but the Lin family is not much better!

Hearing her grandson say this, Mrs. Tai immediately hesitated: "Having said that, but I have seen a lot of families with several generations of single inheritance, although the Lin family has a little more difficult heirs, the lineage has not been severed." ”

Jia Yu saw that his grandmother had a sign of relenting, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue: "But my grandson heard that Lin Hai himself was also an old man who was only acquired by his parents when they were in their thirties, and it is not without reason that Mrs. Lin is so anxious about his marriage. ”

He guessed correctly, Mrs. Lin only had one son in her life, Lin Ruhai, and naturally she loved her like a treasure. After the death of Lao Lin Hou, the mother and son depended on each other, but she was already old, and the distant clansmen were the ones who wanted to swallow the mother and son with the belt and bones. Therefore, although Lin Ruhai said something like "don't go to the department and don't marry", Mrs. Lin didn't allow her son to really do that.

The most important thing about the imperial examination is to make people, talented but the story of being stuck in a bottleneck all his life and not being able to title the gold list has never been less, compared to the scientific examination, Mrs. Lin hopes that her son will marry her son as soon as possible and let her hug her grandson as soon as possible, so that she will be able to give an explanation to Lin Ruhai's father underground even if she dies in the future - although judging from the family history of the Lin family, the hope of holding her grandson early is quite slim.

The heir is a big deal, and it must not be taken lightly, Mrs. Tai thought about it, and finally said: "Let's delay this for a few days in advance, let me think about it." ”

Jia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the first thing he did after going back was to pick a husband for Jia Min - grandmother's hesitation could give him a few days, right? Even if the candidate is not so perfect, as long as it is not too bad!

It's just that he didn't expect that the "delay for a few days" was not a "few days", but that he was not given time at all.

It's not that the qualified and interested families haven't found one, but it's more difficult than the Lin family's heirs - the Lin family still has a son-in-law in every generation, but this family has reached the point where one son has two rooms on his shoulders to this generation.

The biggest reason why Jia Yu persuaded his grandmother to give up the Lin family was that the Lin family's heirs were difficult, so of course he couldn't choose a family with more difficult heirs for Jia Min, otherwise wouldn't he be a slap in the mouth?

It's just that before he could make a new move, Jia Daihua looked him over, and in front of Jia Jing, the patriarch of the Jia family told his nephew bluntly: "After your sister and the Lin family are married, you should also hurry up and settle the matter between Brother Hu and the girl of your brother-in-law, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”

Jia Yu was taken aback: "But, uncle, my sister can't marry the Lin family・・・・・・・・"

Jia Daihua said angrily: "When the judgment continues, you will suffer from it, the manly husband must be bold, what are you still grinding at this time, do you want your sister to marry into the palace!" ”

Hearing this tone, Jia Daihua actually suspected that he was deliberately delaying time so that Prince Su's plan would come true, Jia Yu was so shocked that he knelt down suddenly: "Uncle Mingjian, my nephew has never had the idea of letting my sister go to the palace, although my nephew is young, he also knows that the place in the palace is not a good place to go, how dare my nephew have such a mind to push his sister into the fire!" ”

Jia Jing also knelt down: "Father is angry, you also know how Enhou behaves, he will never have such a mind." ”

Jia Daihua was just angry for a while, and he calmed down at this time: "It's cold on the ground, you guys get up, I don't doubt Enhou's meaning, it's just that he is angry and hasn't made a decision at this time." "If Jia Yu really wants Jia Min to go to the palace, he just needs to wait for King Su to propose his marriage and then agree, why bother to come to him.

After letting the two juniors get up from the ground, Jia Daihua got straight to the point: "Things can't be delayed any longer, I thought that King Su would delay until a month later when the saint had a birthday and then ask for a marriage, who would have thought that the saint suddenly decided to hold a family banquet a few days later to celebrate the birthday of King Jing's mother." King Su and King Jing have never dealt with each other, and it is likely that this matter will be used to compete with King Jing for the limelight, even if the saint does not agree, Min'er's reputation will be greatly affected, and it will be too late for our family to regret it, so Min'er's marriage must be decided within these two days, just in case, Hu Ge'er's matter must also be decided. ”

Jia Yu just heard about the saint celebrating the birthday of his favorite concubine today, but he really didn't know the previous thing, and he was almost shocked into a cold sweat when he heard it: "King Su actually wants to ask for a marriage?" "How did Jia Daihua know? Didn't you say before that King Su wanted to invite the military department to be a matchmaker? Also, why did his sister have been so fated to ask for forced marriage for two lifetimes?

Jia Daihua glanced at his nephew: "King Su is worried that if he asks the secretary of the military department to be a matchmaker, he may be attacked by King Yizhong and King Jing and say that he is befriending ministers, so he changed his mind and wanted to ask for a marriage on the birthday of the saint." In addition, King Su was worried that his grandson would be wronged if he was left untaken care of during this time, so he sent his grandson to the princess to raise him, and invited two companions from the Chen family for his grandson. ”

Jia Jing said: "The son sees that King Su is worried that the grandson will not be taken care of is false, and it is true that the new princess is worried that the new princess will not be good to the grandson, otherwise why did the princess die for so long before sending the grandson to the princess, isn't this clearly guarding against the step-concubine as a thief." Min'er's sister can't go to such a family, but her son is also a little worried, will King Su not be reluctant? ”

Jia Daihua waved his hand and said meaninglessly: "I still have a little thin noodles in front of the saint, as long as things are certain, King Langsu will no longer be boring." And the good girl in the capital is not only our family Min'er, the Zhenguo family also has a granddaughter who is the same age as Min'er, but their family is quite interested in that position. ”

As he spoke, Jia Daihua turned his gaze to his nephew: "Yu'er, do you understand?" I know you want the best for your sister, but if you don't make a decision, I won't be able to help you. ”

Jia Yu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, there was silence in the study for a while, and for a while, Jia Yu said in a hoarse voice: "My nephew understands, my nephew listens to my uncle." ”

When he walked out of Jia Daihua's study, Jia Yu's whole person was vain, but it was not just for Jia Min's marriage.

He understood why King Su wanted to win over Jia Daihua.

The Jia family and King Su's family are both martial families, and if there is a military department secretary, it is very likely that they will be attacked by other princes as "ill-intentioned and befriended ministers", so King Su changed his mind and wanted to ask for a marriage on the birthday of the saint a month later, so that the princes would not find an excuse to attack.

-- Fiction and reality bought time for the Jia family.

Find someone who meets Mrs. Tai's conditions, and set up a marriage for Jia Min and Jia Hu.

-- Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and never suffer in the future.

The girls of the Zhenguo family have a similar family background and age to Jia Min, and their family is having this intention.

-- Even the water is ready to lead to disaster.

The only variable was the family banquet that the Holy Lord was going to hold temporarily, but no one could have predicted it, and even so, Jia Daihua had made a response to the worst possible outcome.

No matter what step you take, you have to know the situation very well, you have to know everyone's psychology well, you have to use a very large number of contacts, and you have to do things very secretly.

It's only been a few days since I received King Ning's letter?

The more Jia Yu thought about it, the worse his expression became.

- It's really careless, compared to Jia Daihua, what is he, what can he do? Just relying on the memory of his previous life to relax so far, if he continues like this, he won't even know how he died one day!

Jia Jing and Jia Yu walked together, seeing that his face was not very good, thinking that he was still worried about Jia Min's affairs, so he persuaded: "I have observed, the son of the Lin family is indeed good, and he will definitely have a great future in the future. ”

Jia Yu came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Thank you for respecting the auspicious words of the eldest brother." ”

Jia Jing looked at him, thought about it, turned around and asked the little servants not to follow, and then pulled Jia Yu forward, and stopped when he reached a small bridge, and said, "Isn't it Enhou, but he is still sad for his father's words?" If that's the case, I'll make amends for you on behalf of my father, but my father's intention was not to doubt you, he knew what you were like, so don't let us be separated for this matter. ”

Saying that, he was really about to apologize to him, but Jia Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Isn't this to kill me, how dare I accept the courtesy of my eldest brother!" Uncle is an elder, we naturally only listen to what the elders say, and what the uncle said is also right, this time it is indeed my indecision, but if I am more decisive before, my sister will not suffer from this flying disaster. ”

Jia Jing said: "It's not your fault, who would have expected such a thing?" My father and I both know that you really feel sorry for Min'er's sister, how can you be like that one, your flesh and blood are all lost, and he regards such a disaster as a good thing, and he even can't wait for Min'er's sister to jump into the fire immediately. Father said such heavy words to you, but there was no reason why he was angry before. ”

Which one? Which one?

Jia Yu was confused for a moment, and then reacted, his eyes widened, and he was so angry that his whole person was angry: "Could it be that Jia Zheng is he?" ”

Facing his gaze, Jia Jing nodded helplessly.

No wonder, no wonder Jia Daihua would say something suspicious that he wanted to marry Jia Min to the palace, it turned out to be such a reason!

Jia Yu's eyes became red, and he looked like he wanted to find Jia Zheng desperately, Jia Jing saw that the situation was not good, and he was so anxious that he immediately reached out and grabbed Jia Yu's arm: "Enhou, you calm down, calm down!" Father already knows about this, don't really knock on the door, it's not worth it! "Jia Zheng can even sell his own sister, what else can't he do? Rush over, if you get a bite back, it will be bad!

First Jia Min, then Jia Zheng, Jia Yu is extremely irritable now, and he just wants to go to the second room to beat Jia Zheng, and let him know what "eldest brother is like father": "Brother Jing, you let go!" He dared to do such a thing without me, I should have asked him what my sister had done to be sorry for him, and told him to force her to death like this! ”

Where can Jia Jing really let him go, and dragged him to death: "I know you are angry, but you also have to think about Min'er's sister, if you go to make trouble, the matter will definitely not be covered, and when the time comes, will your sister's reputation be?" And uncle and grandmother, how can you clean up the mess for you when you want her old man? ”

Mentioning Jia Min's reputation and Mrs. Tai, Jia Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a while, he scratched Jia Jing's hand and punched the tree next to him, and the thick trunk of the bowl broke in response. Jia Gai, that bastard, what kind of thing is he, he dares to marry his sister to Suwangfu!
