Chapter 239: Misunderstanding
Mrs. Wang came up with the idea of being a matchmaker, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good idea. On the second day, Zhao Xiang came to greet her again, and the more she looked at Zhao Xiang, the more satisfied she felt.
She was originally the daughter of a small family, but because her aunt married a small officer, she fought with the county grandfather, her position was also promoted, and her mother's family was also stained. When her family saw that this thigh was thick enough, she couldn't wait to hold her for two lifetimes, and she was engaged to Wang Dongsheng since she was a child. Unexpectedly, Wang's father died a little early, and his thick thighs were gone. Her aunt has a soft temperament, and her son was bullied a little miserably by her husband's relatives and friends, although her mother's family helped from time to time, but she had no thighs, and her confidence was insufficient, so she could help limitedly. Fortunately, the county grandfather took action and pulled the Wang family's mother and son out of the predicament, and they have really lived a good life since then. Relying on the face of the county grandfather, her mother's family was stained again, and gradually there were hundreds of acres of fertile land, two shops, and a house with five entrances, which can be called a big family in the county.
Mrs. Wang's elder brother has only one son, who has been pampered since he was a child, he can't study, and his martial arts practice is mediocre. Because Wang Dongsheng went to the northwest to garrison, the Wang family wanted to earn a future for this son, so they sent him to the northwest, wanting his aunt and uncle to make him a petty official. Wang Dongsheng didn't like favoritism, and when he saw that his nephew was useless, he threw him into the barracks, and let his subordinates train him for a whole year. This is also a public position, but it is counted in the "officials", but it is the end of the imperial examination, and it will not be able to rise much higher in the future. Mrs. Wang's mother's family is actually still a little dissatisfied in her heart, but her son likes it, and after two years of doing it, he actually looks good, and he has been promoted to catch the head this summer. At his age, he is considered to be a few, and he looks at the bright future, and he seems to have a lot of oil and water on weekdays. Mrs. Wang's mother's family didn't say anything anymore.
Mrs. Wang wanted to tell Zhao Xiang about this family, but it was actually really kind.
If there is nothing bad in Zhao Xiang's family, she is the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Jiannan County, her grandfather used to be a marquis, and her father is a six-rank military attachΓ©, and Mrs. Wang's maiden nephew is not a good match. But isn't the Zhao family already bad now? Zhao Jue is dead, Zhao Xiang is the daughter of a criminal official, it is impossible to say a good family affair in this life, if you are lucky, you may be able to marry a rich businessman with a solid family, but people who study the imperial examination and have a career will not marry her. Mrs. Wang's nephew is also a member of the public family, although he has lost the imperial examination, his family background is good, and his identity is quite decent. I am not yet twenty years old, I have not yet married a wife, I am tall and strong, my brain is not stupid, and I am still a promising headcatcher. If Zhao Xiangruo marries him, there will always be a rich and stable future in the future. Besides, Lanzhou is far away, I don't know what is going on in Beijing, Zhao Xiang married in the past, and there is no need to worry that someone will always laugh at her for being the daughter of a criminal official. Mrs. Wang is really thinking about her.
As for her nephew, it doesn't matter if she can marry such a talented and good-looking girl with a good temperament, even if her net worth is a little worse. And according to Mrs. Wang's understanding, her nephew happens to like girls with this temperament, who must be good-looking, and must be literate and literate, preferably if he has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If it weren't for the high requirements, where would he grow up to this age, and he hadn't decided on a family affair?
Mrs. Wang immediately wrote a letter to her brother. Her mother's house was only about 300 miles away from the capital, so she sent a servant to hurry on horseback, and the letter was delivered within a few days. Her brother quickly replied to her again, and he was quite optimistic about this family business, but there was one thing - worried that Zhao Jue was a rebel sinner, if his son married Zhao Jue's daughter, would he be affected and ruin his future? If not, then they are still quite happy to marry this family business, and they don't have to ask their son in Lanzhou. Anyway, that's the great-granddaughter of the old county prince! The grandson of the old county prince is now also the Hou Ye.
The people in the Zhao family and Fengxian know about the rebellion, but people from other places may not know. Wang Dongsheng never mentioned these things to his uncle's family, so that people still think that it is still a family, at most, they have been separated for a long time, and their feelings have faded. Therefore, they think that this family business may be able to help their family climb to the Hou Mansion, isn't that a great thing?
When Mrs. Wang read the letter, she was also happy, and as for her brother and sister-in-law's concerns, she didn't think there was anything wrong. No matter how bad Zhao Jue is, others will also die. The main master has subdued the law, and the emperor has spared his family, so that they can live freely outside, and there are slaves and maids to call, it can be seen that the emperor's grace is vast, and he doesn't care about this, and he won't implicate anyone because of this. Jiannanhou Mansion may be reluctant to accept them into the mansion only because of the enmity between the two houses. But the Wang family has been taking people home for so many days, and no one has come to stop them, so it must be okay. As long as they are husband and wife, be careful and don't be too public. My nephew is on an errand in Lanzhou Mansion, thousands of miles away from the capital, and he is just a head catcher, what can he be taboo? Does the imperial court still care who a little catcher marries as a wife? As long as Zhao Xiang passes through the door in the future, don't go around telling the people in Lanzhou Mansion what her origin is.
Mrs. Wang went to find Wang Dongsheng and asked him to read her brother's letter: "My brother and sister-in-law have agreed, what should I do next?" Do you want to go to Mrs. Zhao first to find out? Speaking of which, Sister Xiang is still young, and if she really wants to pass the door, it will take at least three or four years, and it will always be good to get through it. But once the marriage is decided, if outsiders ask, we will have a reason to help Sister Xiang's family more. β
Wang Dongsheng frowned when he read the letter: "Why did you write a letter to mention this matter so quickly?" How old is Sister Xiang? Mrs. Zhao may not be willing to let her out now. Besides, your nephew is okay with everything else, but his identity is a little worse, maybe at his age, it is good to be able to catch heads, but he is not very worthy of the great-granddaughter of the county grandfather. I originally thought that if the two families really had intentions, when Sister Xiang was two years older, they would use some silver and ask someone to transfer your nephew from Lanzhou Mansion to a richer Fucheng, at least to be promoted to a chief catcher, so that they could be more dignified in doing happy events, and they would not be too humiliated Sister Xiang. β
Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this: "Look at what you said, now Sister Xiang'er's background is not as good as before, and our nephew is already very good with her, why did you insult her?" Could it be that you can find a better family for her? β
Wang Dongsheng looked at his wife: "I naturally know that she is now the daughter of a criminal official, not as good as before, but no matter how her identity changes, for me, she is always the great-granddaughter of the old county prince." Just talking about the kindness of the old county prince to our family, can I still match Sister Xiang to him even if I know that my nephew is not worthy? β
Mrs. Wang whispered, "How can I mean this? Just wanted to remind you. Although the nephew's identity is not worthy of the great-granddaughter of the old county prince, it is not easy for you to find a better family than this. My nephews are almost twenty years old, how many more years can I wait? If you don't settle early, you may have to find someone else. Our own children can say that their temperament and character are trustworthy, and they will not treat Sister Xiang badly in the future. But if it is an outsider, how can you guarantee that he can be good to Sister Xiang? Don't hurt your child then. β
Wang Dongsheng was silent. The wife's words also have a point. Her nephew, who is actually the son of his uncle's cousin, has grown up since he was a child, although he was a little stubborn when he was a child, his character is trustworthy, and he also knows in his heart that he is grateful for the grace of the county grandfather. If Zhao Xiang marries him, his family will not treat Zhao Xiang badly. After all, Zhao Xiang is the daughter of a criminal official, who can guarantee that her future in-laws will not look down on her because of this? Maybe now that he is in power, he can protect her a little, but he can't protect people for the rest of his life......
In the end, he could only say to his wife: "You go and find out Mrs. Zhao's tone first." β
Mrs. Wang knew that her husband meant to agree, so she was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
However, Niu was feigning illness at this time. She knew that Mrs. Wang had already known about her pouring medicine, so in order not to face the other party directly, she deliberately pretended that her condition was aggravated, and she was not in good spirits all day long, and she was about to faint after saying two or three sentences, so that Mrs. Wang would not be able to say anything more to her. Mrs. Wang believed it, and seeing that she really couldn't speak well, she wanted to send someone to invite Zhao Ze over. Zhao Xiang's parents died, and her marriage, in addition to her grandmother, her brother also has the right to decide.
However, Mrs. Wang's impression of Zhao Ze is not very good, her husband seems to have heard some bad things about Zhao Ze from Zhang's ancestors, although he refuses to say it explicitly, but it is always revealed that Zhao Ze has had a great rebellion, so he will not be treated by his father, grandmother, brothers and sisters. When she mentioned Zhao Ze when chatting on weekdays, Zhao Xiang also mentioned it lightly and didn't want to say more. Mrs. Wang was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to invite him or not. This hesitation can't help but chatter, and the girls around her know it, whether it is pandan or fragrant ring, they all faintly guess something.
When Xianglan went to deliver something to Zhao Xiang, she pursed her lips and looked at her and smiled, revealing some vague tones in her words, saying that Zhao Xiang was "good things are coming", and said that she would not be an outsider in the future, but she refused to say what was going on. Zhao Xiang was surprised and delighted in his heart, and when he saw Mrs. Wang looking at him, he looked at him with pity, and he had a guess in his heart: Could it be that Mrs. Wang has already decided to hire her as a daughter-in-law?
This speculation made her both happy and shy, and a little apprehensive, I wonder which of the Wang brothers Mrs. Wang intends to tell herself? In fact, Wang Weisheng, the son of the Wang family, is better, stable, and older, so he can already go directly to the office, and he is the proper heir of the Wang family in the future. However, Wang Weisheng is several years older than her, and he may not be able to wait for her to marry a wife. In this way, it should be more likely that Wang Tongsheng, the second son of the Wang family, will be born. Wang Tongsheng is the same age as her, and his temperament is outrageous, but he has a better relationship with Zhao Yan. Zhao Xiang couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking that Wang Tongsheng was not a good match for him.
Zhao Xiang felt a little stunned in his heart. Why is it always difficult to have both worlds? It's a pity that no matter how bad Wang Tongsheng is, she can only give in. RS
