Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fate
Wen Ling was taken to the study by Mrs. Wen at noon on the second day, and Wen Jinyan and Wen Jinghan were already sitting there waiting. The atmosphere is still relatively harmonious.
Seeing that his wife was coming with her daughter, the four of them sat down. Wen Jinyan spoke: "You all know that Han'er is going to marry, right?" What do you think, just say it. ”
Huang Xinrou took the lead in speaking, "Ling'er, you have more contact with that young lady here, how about you talk about that girl?" ”
"Mother, as far as Ling'er's observation and the news from Ling'er are concerned, Sister Gong is a good girl with both talent and appearance.
A girl's family has to take care of a single father and manage a pharmacy, not every girl can do it, and people are also gentle and generous, the key is that my brother and I like it very much. ”
Wen Jinyan and Huang Xinrou's eyes moved to Wen Jinghan, and Wen Jinghan also said, "Father, mother, and child have never had the idea of marrying a wife over the years, and they just want to go to the border one day to defend the territory and shed blood for the country, and only she gave me the idea of starting a family." ”
Huang Xinrou looked at her children's high evaluation of that young lady, and probably knew that the girl must not be too bad, so she said, "Since Ling'er and Han'er both have such a high evaluation of her, I have no opinion." ”
"Okay, since there are no opinions. Then I'll say a few words. Han'er, do you know what the rules of my Wen Mansion are? The first rule of my Wenfu family rule is "men don't take concubines, women don't take concubines", can you do it? ”
Wen Jinghan stood up and knelt on one knee in the middle of the study, "Father, rest assured, the child will recognize her in this life, and she will not swerve until death." ”
"You remembered what you said today, if you do anything to be sorry for other girls in the future, my Wen Mansion will not have you as a son.
We don't value the family, but there are still etiquettes that we can't miss, let your mother choose a good day to ask the concubine for a favor, and when the time comes, the official media will be regarded as giving the woman enough decency. ”
"Thank you father"
Because of her son's marriage, Huang Xinrou handed a greeting sticker to the concubine a few days earlier. I came to the palace early this morning, and after a while of greetings between the two sisters, Huang Xinrou said the purpose of today's visit.
"Concubine Niangniang, the courtiers came today because they wanted to ask for a grace."
"Xinrou, you and my sisters, what's the matter. As long as I can do it, it must be my duty. ”
When she spoke, Huang Xinrou's face was full of joy that she couldn't hide, "Isn't this that Han'er recently said that she took a fancy to a girl, saying that the girl is knowledgeable, reasonable, good and filial, and her family is a pharmacy in the north of the city, so Han'er asked me to ask Niangniang for a favor from you, so that the official media can propose marriage." In this way, it can also show that the Wen Mansion attaches great importance to other girls' families, isn't it? ”
"So that's it, it's easy to do, you have chosen a good day. I'll let Mama go in person, Mama, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to choose a few things with good meanings and send them together, which can be regarded as a little heart of my elders. ”
After Mama received the order to retreat, Ye Zixi sighed lightly. Seeing this, Huang Xinrou asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" What worries can you say to let the courtiers share your worries? ”
"Speaking of which, Xin'er is several months older than Han'er. Now Han'er has a candidate to marry a wife. Xin'er is not too young at this age, but there is no movement at all, I am really a little envious of you as a concubine. ”
"Niangniang don't worry, His Royal Highness King Wen is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and there are many famous and noble girls in the whole capital who want to marry His Royal Highness, only the uneasy stinky boy in our family. It's not easy to marry in this life. ”
"Ling'er, this girl is not young," hearing this, Huang Xinrou's heart instantly raised. She definitely didn't believe that Ye Zixi was just gossiping.
Forced to resist the stiff smile and replied, "Ling'er, this girl, does not have the gentleness and virtuousness that a girl should have, and she is crazy all day long and does not have the appearance that a girl should have, so the courtiers and the prime minister have discussed and kept her for a few more years." The provincial one who married to his in-law's family was disliked. ”
They are all smart people, and they don't have to say things too clearly to understand what they mean.
"That's it, this palace has no daughters in this life. Stand down, the main palace is going to rest."
"The courtiers are retired!"
In the capital, if the South Gate Street is where the dignitaries are located, then the North Gate is where the Han Gate is located.
People on the street come and go, and people doing business also start shouting early to run for a day's livelihood, but the originally peaceful days exploded after seeing a group of people?
Because the north gate is where the poor are, there are almost no opportunities to see any dignitaries and ladies on weekdays. So when I saw this group of people, everyone came out to see the excitement.
I saw an extraordinarily dressed old woman with a group of boxes packed with red silk, this situation is generally the use of red silk for marriage and wedding, which makes people more curious, look at the temperament of this old lady can see that the main family is not an ordinary family.
are sighing that whose girl is so good, even if she marries a rich family and becomes a concubine, it is better than living in such a poor place. With this kind of thought, everyone wants to join in the fun.
A group of people saw that the old lady bypassed most of the street at the north gate and walked straight into the palace pharmacy. The kind-hearted ones all sighed, "The old man of the palace has finally come out, raising this girl alone, and now the girl is favored by a big family, and she will be blessed in the future." ”
There are a lot of jealous red-eyed people, "I thought it was who, it turned out to be this fox, no mother is not good, whose good girl will run outside all day long, and now I don't know that I quietly hooked up with the big man, and went to do her guilt that Xiao Ke has." ”
Seeing a group of brightly dressed people and carrying a big burden decorated with red silk, the guys at the palace pharmacy still stood up forcibly to greet the guests, "I don't know who you are looking for, this grandma?" ”
Mama gave the little two enough face and replied gently, "Mama, I'm looking for the palace boss, and I ask the little brother to help pass the word."
"Okay, okay, Mama, please inside, I'll go and inform the shopkeeper right away."
When the old man arrived in the living room of the courtyard, he saw an old woman with elegant manners and bright clothes sitting there, and he was a little stunned for a while. "Contemptible Gong Qin, I don't know what this grandmother is looking for."
Mama stood up and said to Gong Qin with a smile, "Master Gong, congratulations, old woman, I came here today to have a great event," Gong Qin asked, "Great joy?" What's the joy? ”
"Master Gong, Mama, I was entrusted by someone to propose a marriage for the eldest son of Prime Minister Wen's family. Do you think this is not a big deal? ”
"What? The eldest son of Prime Minister Wen's family, but the grass people have no relationship with the Wen Mansion, and they can't afford to climb high."
"Palace boss, this family business is Mrs. Wen personally went to the palace to ask the concubine to be the master, you have to think about it."
"The villain doesn't dare, it's just that the little girl has lost her mother since she was a child, and she has her own opinions, Mama, Xiaomin still wants to ask the little girl what she thinks. Otherwise, even if he is condemned, Xiaomin will never dare to agree to this family."
Mama forcibly endured her dissatisfaction, but her tone became cold, "Okay, please also ask Master Gong, you can talk about it well." The family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not something that anyone can marry."
