Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Prince's Marriage
Jia's mother tried her best to match Sima Shu's marriage with the Han family, and it is also interesting to say, this Jia's mother was a famous jealous woman in the government and the opposition when she was young, and she killed her husband's biological son, causing Jia Fu to have to succeed Han Shou's son, but this person is old, but he likes Sima Shu very much, and he has to let his granddaughter Han Sheng marry him. Because of this, she has entered the palace twice, and she has been chattering in front of Jia Nanfeng for a long time, saying too much, it is nothing more than Jia Nanfeng has no children, and she has to rely on Sima Shu for the rest of her life. Jia Nanfeng will not rely on anyone, even if she is really childless in the future, she is also the one who holds Sima Shu in the palm of her hand.
Jia Nanfeng didn't spit out, she wanted to know Sima Shu's thoughts, so she called him. Jia Nanfeng speaks, never beating around the bush, especially for Sima Shu, joy, anger and sorrow are all on her face, in the final analysis, it is because she doesn't look down on him, she said directly: "If you want you to marry Han Sheng, are you willing?" ”
"It's up to the queen mother." Sima Shu replied respectfully.
Jia Nanfeng saw a hint of joy on Sima Shu's face, she sneered in her heart, this kid is really very open-minded, and the wishful thinking in his heart is playing well.
Jia's mother's intention to marry her granddaughter to herself was rumored inside and out, of course Sima Shu knew, he was also willing, he was currently firmly controlled by Jia Nanfeng, if you want to consolidate your position, marrying Jiafu is obviously the safest way. So when Jia Nanfeng asked him, he felt a trace of joy in his heart, thinking that this matter had become eight points out of ten.
But Jia Nanfeng still didn't say anything, Jia's mother was urging tightly, and Sima Shu was also willing, but she still wanted to know what her sister meant, and she was thinking that Jia's mother had already taken Han Sheng's mother, that is, Jia Nanfeng's sister Jia Wu, into the palace.
"Mother, this is a forced marriage." Jia Nanfeng smiled and got up to greet his mother: "You can be more concerned about this matter than Jia Wu." ”
"You mothers, aunts are not in a hurry, can I not be in a hurry?" Jia's mother is over sixty years old, and she has a plump body under long-term pampering, and after walking some distance after entering the palace, she can't get up, so she quickly sat down and rested, drank a cup of tea, and said: "I have also seen this prince, he looks good, and he is also smart, I often tell you, if you don't have a son, you have to treat the prince well, and you will always rely on it in the future. ”
Jia Nanfeng doesn't like to listen to his mother say this, who is begging for whom now, who is relying on whom is obvious, in the future? It is even more difficult to say what will happen in the future, if the current momentum continues, Sima Shu will not be the one who will be the master of the house in the end. But she couldn't tell her mother this openly, Jia's mother's temper was no worse than Jia Nanfeng, even if she was the queen, she was a little scared of her in her heart.
"Mother, in the final analysis, my sister is Sheng'er's mother, do you want your daughter to marry the prince, you have to listen to a word, right?" Jia Nanfeng looked at Jia Wu as he spoke, glanced at her, and asked, "Sister, what do you say?" ”
Jia Wu hurriedly spoke: "The prince is very good, but he is a little younger, two years younger than Sheng'er......
Before Jia Wu finished speaking, Jia's mother raised her hand and interrupted her daughter's words: "What you said is not a reason, do you still know that your Sheng'er is old?" You're not in a hurry as a mother, what are you going to do if you have to protect your daughter under your elbow? ”
"Mother, you allow us to discuss this matter again," Jia Nanfeng said helplessly: "You are in a hurry to get married, but it is not a trivial matter for this prince to choose a concubine, how can you be so hasty?" "Anyway, on the grounds of your mother's age, people have been coaxed into the inner room to rest.
Jia Nanfeng shook his head, he really had a headache. She never thought of letting Han Sheng marry into the palace, she had a good relationship with Jia Wu since she was a child, and regarded her son and daughter as her own, and naturally made decisions for them in marriage matters. In her opinion, Sima Shu is not a reliable person after all, the relationship between her and Sima Shu is already fragile, once it collapses, no matter which party wins in the end, won't it hurt Han Sheng? She knows this, and her sister also knows it, but the old mother is confused, and she persuades her to treat Sima Shu well, that Sima Shu is not a three-year-old hairy child, how can she be coaxed by her two good words?
"Mother insists on this, what is my sister going to do?" Jia Wu asked. The two sisters of the Jia family, Jia Nanfeng is vicious, Jia Wu is shrewd, and she is tightly attached to her sister, she deeply understands her sister's thoughts, Sima Shu is just the object of her sister's temporary envelopment, once her sister has a child in the future, she will immediately abandon Sima Shu. But if my sister has no children, Sima Shu ascended the throne, that child was brought up by Emperor Wu, and it is impossible for the city government not to be deep, in case the Jia Mansion is liquidated one day later, the daughter marries her either alone in the deep boudoir or stays in the cold palace for a lifetime, it is better to marry someone else, once the Jia family loses power, it may be able to escape.
Jia Nanfeng asked people to send two paintings, and after ordering someone to unfold them, they were two pictures of beauties. There is some similarity between the eyebrows and eyes of the two beauties in the picture, and they can be called beautiful, but the one on the left is more gorgeous and the appearance is more prominent.
"These are the two daughters of Wang Yan's family," Jia Nanfeng said: "There are a lot of portraits sent these days, but I fell in love with these two girls at a glance, besides, marrying the girl of Wang Yan's family is not a grievance for the prince, and outsiders are not good at saying anything." ”
Jia Wu looked at the two portraits happily, and kept praising them. Wang Yan is talented, has a great reputation, and holds the position of Shang Shuling, the girl of his family is quite famous in Luoyang City, and the young masters of the Xungui family are all looking at it, although everyone has never seen a real person, but the girl in the painting is enough to make the men's hearts moved.
"I have a reluctant request," Jia Wu looked at Jia Nanfeng, a little embarrassed, and said: "Jia Mi has already reached the age of marrying, but this child's heart is undecided, and I am also afraid of being harmed. ”
Jia Nanfeng laughed when he heard this: "You and I thought of one place, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to show you the portraits of the two of them." ”
When Jia's mother woke up, the two daughters had already decided on Sima Shu's marriage, and even Jia Mi's wife had been chosen, and the old lady was so angry that her chest was stuffy, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to rely on their will.
Soon, the news reached the East Palace, Sima Shu's heart was cold, after all, the queen was still guarding against him, no wonder, he wanted to have his own forces, he was here to fight against Jiafu, how could he ask Jiafu to help him? He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and asked the queen which family's daughter she had decided, and after learning that it was the girl of Wang Yan's family, he also felt good, the daughter of Wang Yan's family was famous, not only beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, compared to Han Sheng, a daughter who was raised arrogantly, I don't know how much stronger in temperament.
On the second day, the portraits of the two girls were sent to the East Palace, and Sima Shu was attracted by the more gorgeous girl at a glance, and when he looked at it, he kept nodding his head with satisfaction.
"This is Lord Wang's eldest queen Jing Feng," the inner supervisor who sent the painting introduced: "On the other side, it is Lord Wang's second queen Hui Feng." ”
Only then did Sima Shu move his gaze to another painting, the girl in that painting was also beautiful, but compared to her sister, she was a little inferior. Sima Shu shook his head, and then shifted his gaze to his sister's portrait, and pointed with his hand: "It's her." ”
"Okay," the inner supervisor put away the painting, "the slave is going to return to the queen." With that, he withdrew from Sima Shu's hall step by step.
Marrying a beautiful woman is of course a pleasure, Sima Shu hummed a little song to call Zhong Sui, let him take the six chess, ready to play a few happily, since that day Zhong Sui taught this game to the prince, he became addicted, every day to gamble a few handful, but the level is not good, the silver lost a lot, always Zhong Sui felt that he could not let His Royal Highness the prince face can't hang a few deliberately lose a few, but let him come to greater interest.
In the middle of the afternoon, news came from the Xianyang Palace that the queen had already heard the marriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the heavens, and chose Wang Yan's second queen Huifeng as the crown princess.
Sima Shu was smiling, but he was stunned when he heard the name of the crown princess, he clearly remembered that the name of the royal family daughter was Wang Jingfeng, and the second daughter was called Wang Huifeng, and he was obviously the eldest daughter, why was it the second daughter for him in the end?
Sima Shu grabbed the yellow door who came to pass the news and forced him to ask the reason, but the yellow door couldn't say why for a long time, Sima Shu angrily threw him away: "I'll ask the queen in person." ”
Xie An grabbed Sima Shu: "The master can't go, if you go to the Xianyang Palace, you can only thank you, and you can't question the queen." ”
Sima Shu let go of his clenched fist, but he was still angry, so he kicked the threshold a few times, and then ran towards the Xianyang Hall with his head down. The Xianyang Hall was quite lively, and before entering the hall, the laughter and laughter inside came out.
Sima Shu walked into the hall and saw Jia Nanfeng sitting crookedly on the top, and Jia Wu and Jia Mi below. Jia Mi is now one of the subordinate officials of the prince's mansion, and Sima Shu also wants to meet every once in a while, Sima Shu doesn't like this person very much, and feels that he is proud of the people of the Jia family and does not take him as the prince in his eyes.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." Jia Wu saw Sima Shu first, first leaned over to say hello, and then said, "I think His Royal Highness has a concubine and came to thank you?" ”
"Exactly." Sima Shu stepped forward as he spoke, knelt down in front of Jia Nanfeng: "The queen mother is concerned about the marriage of her sons, and she chooses a good match for her sons. ”
"That's it, it's good if you know it." Jia Nanfeng asked Sima Shu to stand up, pointed at Jia Mi again, and said, "You will also be a brother-in-law in the future, move around more, and there will always be some care in the future." ”
Sima Shu was relieved, it turned out that Jia Mi also fell in love with Wang Jingfeng, and as an aunt, he naturally favored his nephew. He looked at Jia Mi, and the spring breeze on the man's face was proud, which made Sima Mi's heart even more uncomfortable.
