Chapter 172
As soon as Shu Manyao's words fell, Miss Cai's face turned pale, and who of you was not a smart person instantly thought of Miss Cai's fiancΓ©'s profession - being a soldier, the war in northern Xinjiang had been calmed down last year, even the peace talks were over this year, and the soldiers who should come back should also come back.
And the Cai family, but there was no movement at all. Whether it is a divorce or a marriage, it should not be like this.
"He died on the battlefield the year before last." Sure enough, Miss Cai told the truth in the next sentence: "King Lejun also knows about this matter, so he ......"
The year before last was the most tense time of the war in northern Xinjiang, and the number of casualties was also the largest. At this moment, even the old lady is speechless, comfort, I really can't find any words, don't comfort, this thing is indeed quite miserable.
"Don't cry." It took a long time for Cheng to hold back a sentence: "Since he has ...... You're still young, you should look forward, the world is impermanent......"
Without waiting for Cheng to finish speaking, Miss Cai smiled: "Mrs. Shu doesn't have to comfort me, I have already decided, in this life, I will not marry, just guard for him, if so, if the Shu family can agree to this family business, when Miss Shu enters the door, I will move out of the independent door, doesn't the court have regulations to set up a female household?" I've already discussed it with my big brother. β
Now no one speaks, the friendship is shallow, and I really don't know how to speak.
"I don't deny that at the beginning, my eldest brother and I did have the intention of taking advantage of the third girl, but my eldest brother really likes Miss Shu very much, and he is not adulterated at all." The topic came back again, Mrs. Shu held her head with a depressed face, Cheng didn't know how to speak, and Shu Manyao was even more reluctant to speak.
No matter how many difficulties the Cai family has, it has nothing to do with the Shu family. Don't say anything like helping others, whose children are distressed, just like Mrs. Wang, Wang Qingheng died at the age of thirteen, and a person like Mrs. Wang who is generous and enthusiastic to others also covers up for her son? also deliberately took his son to Beijing to propose, and after knowing Miss Cai's reputation, he immediately withdrew from the marriage.
As an elder, it has always been partial, as long as their own children are good and have time to care about other people's children, this will allocate some effort. When you can't take care of your own children, you will never take care of other people's children.
The Cai family is indeed very worthy of sympathy, and Miss Cai's experience is indeed very embarrassing, and if Cai Dagongzi's intentions are true, it is indeed admirable, but the Cai family is not suitable for Shu Manyu.
Shu Manyu's temperament, if he is calculated by Cai Dagongzi and Miss Cai, then there is really no bone residue left.
But at this time, it's really hard to say the words of refusal, it's not that I haven't said it before, but the Cai family just didn't hear it. Now that I just heard a miserable story, I immediately drove Miss Cai away, and the Shu family couldn't do such a thing.
As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate. Those promises to swear, the Cai family has said many times, Miss Cai's face was slightly red, and she didn't continue, and the Shu family didn't answer, she was a little restless.
"Mother," when both sides felt embarrassed, Shu Chengye came back, at his age, he was a grandfather, and there were old ladies and others sitting in the house, but there was no need for Miss Cai to avoid it.
Shu Chengye glanced at Miss Cai when he entered the door, waved his hand and said, "Miss Cai, go back first, Ling Zun and Brother Ling are waiting in front." β
Miss Cai hurriedly got up and saluted, and under the guidance of the maid, she went to find Lord Cai and Master Cai. After clearing the scene, Shu Chengye sat down next to the old lady: "That Miss Cai, did you tell you all the reasons for the matter?" β
The old lady nodded: "Lord Cai also told you about this?" οΌβ
"Well, first, it was to make amends, saying that he was negligent to his children, and their brothers and sisters actually did such a thing, and he was not able to discipline him effectively, and he was ashamed of the Shu family. The second is to explain the reason and want to propose. β
Shu Chengye leaned on the cushion and took two sips of the teacup: "I should also come down, if this spring is this time, Cai Yuheng can be lifted, let them Cai family come to the door to propose." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was dumbfounded, especially the old lady, who pointed at Shu Chengye: "You, you, you agreed?" β
Shu Chengye nodded: "Well, I see, the Cai family is still very good, although this time it is a bit ridiculous, but young people, don't you have to go through this experience?" Now Cai Yuheng likes Manyu, and things are simpler, as long as they don't do that unruly thing. β
"How can you say yes?" The old lady was heartbroken: "Manyu's temperament, the sky is really, if you don't like it, that's a fool, stupid, and admits death, drills the horns, and the Cai family, Miss Cai is an idea, and the eldest son of Cai is not simple, plus a Mrs. Cai is a calculating, do you think Manyu will live well if she marries in the past?" β
"Mother, Miss Cai has an idea, but soon Miss Cai will set up a female household and move out." Shu Chengye hurriedly explained to the old lady: "If Cai Gongzi is a simple person, how can he go in the officialdom in the future?" His mental calculations, as long as he doesn't hurt Manyu, it won't hurt, if he is willing to protect Manyu, then Manyu is afraid that he will not have a good life in the future? As for Mrs. Cai, it is just a stepfamily, Cai Yuheng is the eldest son, if Manyu can't even handle this, she simply don't get married. β
"Could it be that my mother wants to find a father, mother, and siblings for Manyu?" Shu Chengye patiently persuaded Mrs. Shu: "That kind of person, maybe what kind of mind is it, we don't know when they assassinated Man Yu, and although Cai Yuheng and Miss Cai are thoughtful, they are also emotional, and they would rather be hurt themselves than hurt others." β
"Besides, with Manjin's matter ahead, no matter which family Manyu marries, I'm afraid it's not suitable, and there is no more suitable son and brother in the capital than Cai Yuheng."
Shu Chengye rubbed his forehead: "It's okay if Man Jin didn't enter the palace, Man Yu can also choose here, but now, we can't choose a better family background for Man Yu than the Cai family." Manyu can only be low-married. Man Yu has a simple temperament, and there is a line in his head, which will not turn, so a family with a complex population is not suitable, the Cai family has a simple population and no concubines, and the Cai family guarantees that Cai Yuheng can only take a concubine if he is over forty years old and has no children, and he has to be a candidate agreed by Man Yu, which is an excellent condition for Man Yu. β
Men and women think differently, the old lady and the Cheng family only think about whether Shu Manyu's temperament can handle the backyard, and Shu Chengye thinks about whether the Cai family can protect Shu Manyu.
"There is also a second girl in the Cai family who is in the palace, and Man Jin is also in the palace, so we have to show our attitude to the emperor and the queen at this time." Shu Chengye sighed, and Shu Manyao was a little puzzled: "Daddy, since you want to show the attitude of the Shu family, why do you want to marry the Cai family?" Will the queen think that our Shu family is joining forces with the Cai family? β
"No, the status of the Cai family is too low." Cheng reacted faster: "Tie Cai Er Girl to Man Jin's side, it's not to find a helper for Man Jin, but to drag Man Jin's hind legs." β
If the Shu family and the Cai family get married, then no matter what position the second girl Cai is or what Shu Manjin is, these two people will become grasshoppers on the same line.
"The most important thing is that by doing this, Man Jin and Cai Er Girl will be safer." Cheng said with a smile: "The queen mother will rest assured that Man Jin and the second girl will have a child." Because Man Yu is Man Jin's own sister, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cai family, and the wife of the Cai family in the future, the Cai family and the Shu family will never favor either side. β
Lord Cai and Miss Cai are definitely not the same mind, no matter how bad Second Miss Cai is, it is also Lord Cai's blood and bones, Lord Cai means that if you can let Second Miss Cai die in the palace safely, it will also be excellent. is the same as Shu Chengye, even if he is very annoyed by Shu Manjin in his heart, he can't wait to have this daughter, but when the matter comes, he still has to leave a way for this daughter to live.
However, it is only a way to live. Marrying Shu Manyu to the Cai family is not only to help Shu Manjin, but also to restrict Shu Manjin. And from now on, Shu Chengye doesn't plan to help Shu Manjin anymore, even if she is killed in the palace, Shu Chengye will not stretch out his hand again.
What the emperor and the queen want is an attitude, an attitude that the Shu family will never interfere with the emperor's palace. Marrying Shu Manyu to any family, Shu Manyu may become Shu Manjin's help, and the Shu family will also have multiple helpers. Only marrying the Cai family is dividing the connections of the Shu family and the resources of the Shu family.
A rope and a thread are enough to show the attitude of the Shu family.
If there is no Cai family, Shu Manyu can only marry a very mediocre husband in this life, that is, Shu Zheming, and he has to be careful after stepping into the officialdom. Now, by coincidence, there is a Cai family. So, Shu Chengye and Master Cai discussed, let's do the opposite, and we can also find a way.
"That's it." Shu Chengye carefully explained to Mrs. Shu and Cheng: "It's pulling each other, and it's also holding Man Jin back." Actually, I look at Cai Yuheng as a good person, his eyes are very clear, and his knowledge is good, and Manyu will not suffer a loss if he marries him. β
To be honest, Shu Manyao actually didn't understand it, the marriage between the Cai family and the Shu family said that they were sharing the connections of the Shu family, but the second girl Cai and Shu Manjin can also join forces in the palace, the women of this harem, multiple helpers are multiple roads. In the future, whether Shu Manjin gave birth to a son, or Miss Cai gave birth to a son, the two of them will definitely support this son with one heart. Unless both of them have sons, but even if this possibility is ruled out, there is still half a chance that only one person will have a son.
If these two people join forces, wouldn't it be different from the original intention of Daddy and Master Cai?
If you don't understand, you can only ask the tutorial clan, Cheng smiled and touched her head: "You are still too young, in this palace, where is there any real alliance, if only one person gives birth to a son, then who will raise it?" Who will the son kiss in the future? This palace is not a place to talk about feelings. Okay, even if Man Jin and Cai Er Girl talk about their feelings, the two of them are willing to raise their children together, but will the queen give them this opportunity? β
There are many people in the palace who can't raise their own children after they have children, and they have been around since they were young, so they must be very close to raising a child that belongs to them, and raising a child that belongs to someone else, you don't have to choose at all, right?
