Chapter 69: Regaining In-laws
The November day has made people not want to go out, but Fu Fu has ushered in another holy decree. With a wave of the emperor's golden pen, he married the Fu family and the Anguo Mansion, in the eyes of everyone, this matter came suddenly, but the insiders knew that it had been planned a long time ago.
Old lady Fu temporarily put Fu Tianqing in the villa in Dingzhou to let her be free for a while, but after coming back, she didn't expect the emperor to make another holy decree. The content of the holy decree was discussed between the Fu family and the Anguo Mansion before, and Fu Yun and An Hui, the second daughter of the head of the Guogong Mansion.
This time, Old Man Fu did not express any opinions, but Fu Zheng found the study to talk by himself.
Mrs. Fu wanted to ask about Fu Tianqing's situation on the day the old lady returned home, but she couldn't find the opportunity. During this period of time, she took Fu Xiangqing and the three young ladies from the Fu family's distant relatives to visit each family from appreciating chrysanthemums, and almost traveled to the homes of officials of all sizes in the capital.
Today, it was rare that she could take a break because of the holy decree, so she wanted to ask again, but she didn't want Master Fu to go to the old lady's study if she had something to do. She had no choice but to wait in the Fuzhi Hall.
The weather is getting colder and colder, but Mrs. Fu is very energetic, she looked at the eldest daughter-in-law in front of her respectfully serving herself, and her mood was several times better. took the hot tea handed over by Mrs. Fu and asked, "Why did you remember that I made rules here today?" ”
Mrs. Fu smiled and said: "These days are always unavailable, although my mother does not call for rules, but she will always come when she has time." ”
Mrs. Fu is very useful, her favorite thing is to be held, although the person in charge of the backyard has changed over the years, but her power is unquestionable.
"Well, have you gained anything these days?"
Mrs. Fu said truthfully: "Don't hide it from my mother, I want to choose a good family background for Xiang Ya, and it also depends on the character of the other party. ”
Mrs. Fu was silent for a moment and said: "I remember that I also went to He Shangshu's house in the Ministry of Officials, and I heard that Lord He's sister-in-law will end next year, and he can't run away from the top three in the exam, why is it not appropriate?" ”
"This," Mrs. Fu didn't know what to say, the old lady wouldn't not know that the He family was now the royal family, and the virtuous concubine in the palace had just given birth to a prince, what was this going to do, not to mention that although the Anguo Mansion was not there a concubine in the palace earlier, the Fu family was going to make a few trips to the troubled waters, "Mother, it was just that Mrs. He wanted to see the daughters of each family when she went to He Mansion that day, and the other party didn't specifically talk to us, so we couldn't catch up."
Mrs. Fu hasn't said yes yet, and taking those three to the top of Mrs. He's eyes can't look down on the Fu family.
The old lady said: "Don't worry, don't you want to be a girl, aren't there still those three, doesn't the He family still have a few sons, don't refuse the concubine, if it is a concubine, the girl in our clan is more than enough for him, not to mention that it is just an ordinary official position, if it is not for a virtuous concubine in the palace, who will look at them more." ”
This is to get on the line with the He family, Mrs. Fu does not agree in her heart, but it is not easy to say something to refute. She only said: "That's what I said, but I heard that the marriage of the sons of the He family requires the nod of Lord He and the virtuous concubines in the palace, and the virtuous concubines are afraid that they don't want to, after all, they are the imperial concubines in the palace." ”
"It's good that you have a number in your heart, let me think about it, now Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the eldest prince, according to the rules of the ancestral system, this is the future prince, if our family has a relationship with the He family, it will be like having a gold medal for avoiding death in the future, relying on the reputation of the bachelor's mansion will only add to the cake and become a first-class family." Mrs. Fu finally said what she thought in her heart.
It turned out that the old lady moved out of the clan in order to marry the He family, yes, the concubine of the He family can only be a high-ranking concubine if she wants to marry a good family, or a concubine from a poor family, the Fu family's family is not low but not so high, and there are few concubines.
Mrs. Fu can't say that the old lady used to be out of control of the affairs of the family, but now she still has to grasp it in her hands, the only two daughters she cares about now, one is already like this, and the other is afraid that she can't help it. Perhaps it was because she had been accustomed to the old lady's strength for many years, and Mrs. Fu no longer said anything.
Although she has been in charge of the inner house for so many years, it is either her husband who is in charge or her mother-in-law who intervenes in major matters, and she has long been accustomed to silence
In the study, Fu Zheng explained his intentions.
The old lady sneered: "A concubine is worth my relationship for many years? Are you joking like that old man? ”
Fu Zheng had a headache and said: "Father, it's rare for An Guogong to have something to ask us, the two families have to support each other if they want to be relatives, your attitude is inevitably ungraceful, and besides, he just wants to meet the old lady Wang, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about?" ”
"Nothing to be embarrassed about? Don't you know that the Wang family is deliberately avoiding the world now? Also, the old man wants to borrow the previous connections of the Wang family, and he wants to become bigger in the Anguo Mansion, this ambition is becoming more and more uncontrollable, the emperor is not such an open-minded person, and then a person who is not careful will be exterminated. Old lady Fu spoke very politely, this is actually not alarmist, he knows An Ruiyuan's true purpose, and his ambition is indeed very big.
Fu Zheng was frightened by Mrs. Fu's words, and a cold sweat came out, he didn't think about it so far-reaching, just thought that An Guogong was interested in getting acquainted with the century-old family, if it was really as his father said, then should he continue to win over the Wang family......
"What does my father mean?"
Old Lady Fu continued to mean: "You tell him that our family has not been in contact with the Wang family for a long time, and there are three girls in front of him, and now it is impossible to ease the relationship." ”
Fu Zheng was a little weak-hearted, he had already left the three girls aside, and now he wanted to pick up the relationship between the Wang family, so he couldn't hang his face first...... It was also because of his father that he dared to open this mouth, how is this good...... But after his father said this, he wanted to reconcile with the Wang family, so he tried to speak: "Father, then say so, you see, should I go to see my father-in-law?" ”
Old lady Fu suddenly swept over with a sharp look, making Fu Zheng feel more and more uneasy, but his face was not obvious, and he then softened his attitude and said: "I know that I was young and ignorant in the past, and it was also because of my mother-in-law's incident that made the mother of the third girl cold, you know that I have always respected her opinion." ”
(The second watch is coming, forgive the author for always being late, because today is still work...) Ask for the strong support of your relatives, success or failure is just a few days away! )
