Chapter 237: Deliberation
"Oh, did you take the opportunity to meet?" The second Shangguan Peng laughed and teased.
"How can I not, I've tried my best, it depends on whether people look down on me, I left an address and letters, I don't know if people are willing to associate with me, the second brother also said that if someone comes to Beijing to catch the exam, if you don't understand anything, you can come to the house and ask him, we have done what we can do, but I'm not sure if people can look down on our ruffian." Mingzhu smiled and shrugged.
They are the family of military generals, many literati will not have deep friendships with them, and think they are very vulgar, and military generals also think that they rely on lip service, and they are not the same kind of people who go to exchange their lives for fame and fortune in real swords and guns, and they can't get together.
Military generals fight the world and people rule the world, this is the eternal truth and law.
"There's no need to force it, people will look down on us. I know your heart, but there are some things that you can't force to get. The old man touched Mingzhu's head lovingly, how could he not know that his granddaughter was bent on hoping that the family would be transformed and that she could go further.
Background is the ultimate strength of a family, how can it be so easy to change the court and abandon Wu Congwen, without experiencing the dedication and dedication of several generations, there will not be much change.
Mingzhu sighed, "How are the two younger sisters learning the rules?" Can it be improved? ”
"Cala, it's better. Jia Xuan doesn't need to mention it. Shangguan Hao was a little angry when he mentioned this daughter, she couldn't get on the stage, her eyes were full of money and power, not like Qing Lingling's daughter's family at all, she was too snobbish and selfish.
"There's no need to be harsh, just learn slowly, they are still young at home, and they will be sensible when they go out a few more times." Mingzhu smiled and comforted, in her opinion, aren't they all children, so there is really no need to be too harsh.
"Mingzhu, we don't know how to answer what you say." The second uncle squeezed his eyes at Mingzhu and smiled, obviously they are the elders, but Mingzhu looks old-fashioned when he speaks, which is really funny.
Mingzhu also smiled. "Second uncle, you bully me."
"How can it be, the second uncle also left you good things, and the family sent me some gems that haven't been touched yet. I saw that this set of sapphire and tourmaline was particularly good in color, so I left it for you. Shangguan Peng laughed at Mimi's coaxing eldest niece.
"It's pretty much the same, I'll draw a few looks when I go back, and our sisters make jewelry to wear." Mingzhu snorted triumphantly.
"Just do it as you like. Do you really think Jiazhen is good? Shangguan Peng asked.
Men know all the plans at home, and they have been preparing. Shangguan Peng was a little puzzled, when it came to intimacy, Jiaxuan should be more close, but he didn't expect Mingzhu to be very protective of Jiazhen and think about her very much, and spoke for her many times.
Of course, I don't want my daughter to be a concubine, but the affairs of the family are also important, and he must be prepared to sacrifice as a concubine, not to mention sacrificing his daughter, even sacrificing his life.
This is the upbringing of the grandmother, they have this consciousness when they are big and small, and I enjoy it a lot. In the future, if I need to, then I will be the first to be ready to sacrifice myself.
Mingzhu lowered her head and muttered, "Both of them are my sisters, if I can, I don't want them to be human side rooms, and being a concubine is to suffer." But the family's plan is also very necessary, otherwise the brothers will all be scrapped in the future. In terms of character, I personally think that Jia Zhen is more atmospheric and intelligent, if she can be a main room and pick a motivated student, she may not be able to be a lady in the future, which is far more useful than being a concubine.
Back then, there was no one in our family whose surname was Du. Aren't you also a big player now? What kind of person was back then, he was just a student, if it weren't for the wisdom of the elders, how could there be today. Who can say for sure?
Jia Xuan's appearance is good enough to attract people. The temper is also very suitable for the palace, and it will be coquettish and not annoying. But this overall view is always a little worse than Jia Zhen, and then she is too obsessed with money and power, and I am always worried in my heart. If we have the opportunity to promote her to a high position in the future, will she not listen to the call and have other thoughts? So I haven't given her a word in the past two years, just to give her a cold shoulder and let her know that she is nothing when she leaves Shangguan's house. ”
How could Mingzhu not know about Jiaxuan's problem, but there are only a limited number of girls in the family who can enter the palace, Jiazhen is indeed very good, she thinks that if she can choose a good husband, she will be more effective as an official wife in the future, and Jiazhen will be softer and gentler in receiving people and things, and the effect will be better.
The old man touched his beard and nodded, "Mingzhu's consideration is far-reaching enough, in terms of appearance and temperament, it is indeed Jiaxuan who is more suitable to enter the palace, and the woman who enters the palace does not need to be atmospheric, as long as she can be coquettish and compete for favor, this is suitable for Jiaxuan." Jia Zhen acted more gently, but when she entered the palace, she was a concubine not a wife, and the atmosphere poked the eyes of the main room. Boss, how do you teach your daughter, don't be too partial on weekdays, Mingzhu is planning in the palace at a young age, she is the most meritorious among the hardworking girls, and you can't say anything if you have grievances, why are you confused? ”
I have never said this, my son is so old, I should save some face, and let the old woman beat it.
Shangguan Hao hurriedly bowed his head, "No, my father hasn't touched my aunt in the past two years, and Aunt Jiaxuan has already gone to Zhuangzi and has no intention of coming back." The affairs of the back house have always been listened to by my mother and Yongtai, and I have never interfered. I misunderstood some partiality before, but then I listened to Yongtai. I was very annoyed with Jiaxuan doing business last time, and I didn't think much of her in the past two years, I always felt that she was not suitable and couldn't get on the table. ”
In the past few years, Shangguan Hao has attached more importance to his sons and daughters-in-law, and has been a lot colder to Jiaxuan, because when he grows up, his father will avoid it, and secondly, Jiaxuan's personality makes him very ashamed, and he is too far from Mingzhu.
"Humph! You know in your own heart how I have always taught you, don't give me all the wine and drink it in your stomach. If anyone spoils his concubine and destroys his wife and spoils the family style of my Shangguan family, don't blame me for not having a son like him. The old man's eyes widened, and the evil aura in his body made people frightened.
"Yes, the son remembers his father's teachings." The three brothers hurriedly answered.
"Grandfather, don't be angry, my father loves me very much, he sends greetings when I'm outside, letters can be delivered at all times, and I also think about us when I send money and things. Don't discipline him, or I'll be embarrassed. Mingzhu tugged on her grandfather's sleeve and was coquettish, smiling like a flower, and her eyebrows and eyes were clear and clear.
"Well, look at my granddaughter's face and spare you." The old man snorted and enjoyed his granddaughter's massage.
"By the way, what about my mother mentioning my eldest brother's marriage that day? Grandfather, have you thought about it? Let me tell you, I have a fancy for a girl in the Wang family, the eldest queen of the Wang family, Yanran, who looks like an orchid blooming at the beginning of her life, and her bearing is elegant and pleasant. The key is that the housekeeper takes care of her younger siblings, picks up people and things, and is taken by her grandmother to meet guests. I left a letter, and I always wanted to come back and tell you, but I forgot about it, oh yes, her father is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, do you know it? Mingzhu eagerly shook her grandfather to prevent him from napping. (To be continued.) )
