Marriage has existed since ancient times, and there is no distinction between China and foreign countries, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the royal families of all countries were related to each other. And the royal families of some European countries even have an unwritten rule, that is, the object of their marriage must be a member of the royal family of another country.

Therefore, whether it is a marriage between families or a marriage between countries, it is just to better protect the interests of both parties.

Zhou Zong's eldest daughter, Zhou Ehuang, married Li Yu, the prince of Li Tang, which is actually a marriage between families, and this is also an inevitable fate for all families. Therefore, for the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties, in fact, Zhou Zong did not reject it in his heart, but was happy to see it. Because once the little girl Zhou Wei marries Zhao Song, the status of the Zhou family in Li Tang will be greatly improved.

But there is a premise, that is, Zhao Song can allow only the little girl Zhou Wei to marry. If the eldest daughter, Emperor Zhou E, is sacrificed together, then the humiliation suffered by the Li Tang family will definitely be borne by the Zhou family. If the anger in the hearts of the royal family cannot be vented to Zhao Song, then the Zhou family will become scapegoats.

Now that Emperor Zhao and Song have decided this matter in front of the envoys of the world, even if it is just for his own face, there is absolutely no possibility of reversing this matter. Between the Song and Tang dynasties, there can only be two endings now, one is that Li Tang endured humiliation and sacrificed the crown princess Zhou Ehuang, and the other is that between the two countries, the soldiers met each other and never died. And no matter which outcome it is, the Zhou clan will bear the wrath from the Li Tang royal family.

Zhou Zong, who was full of sorrow, paced back and forth in the room of the post house, hoping to think of a plan that would save the Zhou clan from destruction.

"Master, the official of the Song Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Tao, and the Viscount Wenguan of Kaocheng County, handed over a famous post outside the pavilion to visit you." A servant walked into the room and bowed back to Zhou Zong.

"Oh!" Zhou Zong pondered for a moment and said, "Let them go to the front hall and wait, and I'll go over." ”

"Yes." The servants gave a salute and retired.

Watching the servants leave, Zhou Zong entered the room, and under the service of his personal servant, he changed into Li Tang's official uniform, planning to meet the prospective aunt of the Song Dynasty for a while.

In the front hall of the pavilion, Tao Gu had already sat with Wen Qihang for a while, but he didn't see Zhou Zong coming, and after a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Tao Guanren, what does this Li Tang envoy mean? I really regard Xia Guan as an uncle! Seeing that Zhou Zong hadn't come out for a long time, Wen Qihang was a little speechless.

"........" Tao Gu didn't hear the whining of Wen Qihang, and continued to close his eyes and say nothing. He found out that if he wanted to talk to Wen Qihang, he had to have the consciousness of being angry. Just now it was just a short conversation outside the pavilion, and I was very angry, this is still not between the two of them, there is no festival. Now it is completely understandable what kind of mood those officials were feeling when they were smelled of aviation and vomited blood.

"Tao Guanren, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of my dynasty, a dignified three-grade master, and now you are treated like this by them, you can bear this tone!" Smell the fire on the fire.

"........ can't answer this even if you don't want to!" Now it's about your own reputation, if you don't open your mouth again, once it spreads, how can you save face. Tao Gu said helplessly: "Wenjue, don't be impatient." ”

"Tao Guanren, you testify, this is not a subordinate official who does not give face, he is really an uncle who comes to the door, it is difficult to be a man! Since this is the case, then the lower official will leave first, who he loves, and the lower official will not serve. Smell Qihang and get up to say goodbye.

"Wen Jue ........"

"Wen Jue, but do you have an opinion about this official?" Tao Gu was about to dissuade Wen Qihang, but Zhou Zong had already walked in from the hall door and said.

"Zhou Guanren, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard." Smelling Qihang, Zhou Zong, who looked at Zhou Zong, who seemed to have aged several years overnight, said.

"Thank you Wenjue for your concern, the reason for the heart, I think Wenjue should be very clear." Zhou Zong snorted lightly.

"The marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties should be a happy event, why should Zhou Situ worry." Tao Gu got up and played a round road.

"Happy event? Tao Shangshu, if this matter falls on the head of Song Ting, do you still think so? Zhou Zong asked rhetorically.

“........ Since the wood has been completed, why bother Zhou Situ! Tao Gu sighed lightly.

"Although Emperor Song has decided on this matter, whether the lord of our dynasty agrees or not is still between the two ........" Zhou Zong said this, but suddenly stopped talking.

"Zhou Guanren, these things should be left to our Majesty to decide, we are not here to discuss these things." Seeing that Zhou Zong wanted to say cruel words, but he didn't dare, he sighed lightly in his heart when he heard Qihang, and then spoke.

"This matter is all thanks to Wen Jue, and Wen Jue has withdrawn cleanly." Zhou Zong snorted lightly.

"Zhou Guanren, please forgive me for not agreeing, I am the biggest victim of the fire." Wen Qihang denied.

"The biggest victim? Wen Jue really dares to say it! Seeing that Qihang was cheap and obedient, Zhou Zong laughed angrily.

"What don't you dare to say, I'm a yellow flower boy, and now I not only want to marry a mother-in-law who is several years older than me, but also has married and had children to be the head of my Wen clan, do you think I'm happy?" Wen Qihang said angrily.

“........”

"Wen Jue, pay attention to the words." Seeing and hearing that he set sail and turned on the sprinkling mode, Tao Gu hurriedly stopped him.

"I was so kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and I came here today in the hope that we could brainstorm and come up with a countermeasure that would have the best of both worlds, but instead we were looked at everywhere. Now I have decided, I have to marry the Zhou sisters, and Emperor Zhou E doesn't want to be the head of my Wen family. Wen Qihang said angrily.

"Wen Jue, don't be rash, this is a marriage given by His Majesty, Emperor Zhou E is not the Wen family's mother, who dares to be the Wen family's mother." Tao Gu said speechlessly.

"Zhou Jiamin! How is it? Wen Qihang hummed.

"........" This is simply a slap in the face! Don't let my sister be the housewife, but let my sister be the housewife. So how can the two sisters get along in the future?

"It's the lower official who is reckless, please forgive me." Zhou Zong had no choice but to confess.

"Since there is no fait accompli, there will be a lot of room for redemption, why should you be impatient, Zhou Guanren. Besides, is it a shame for me to be your uncle? "Smell the airway.

"Wen Jue's words are serious, there are many people in this world who want to recruit you as an uncle, but in fact, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling, it's just that the matter leads me to the prince, and the lower officials are really embarrassed! If so, how about Xia Guan want to let only the little girl Zhou Wei marry Wen Jue? Zhou Zong suddenly found that now Wen Qihang might be the only breakthrough, and his tone eased.

After all, no family is willing to marry a woman who has been married and has given birth to a child to be the head of the house, not to mention the Wen family, now there is only Wen Qihang alone, with the heavy responsibility of spreading the branches, he is probably the one who is most unwilling to see this come true.

"That's right! Everything is easy to discuss, don't hide it from Zhou Guanren, I already have someone I like, this Wen clan's housewife, in fact, I have already made up my mind. Wen Qihang said embarrassedly.

“......... Wen Jue means that even my little daughter doesn't want to marry? Zhou Zong said in surprise.

"A ten-year-old yellow-haired girl, still a child, okay, when she reaches the age of leaving the cabinet, I will already be over twenty, do you want me to stay alone in the empty house for ten years." Wen Qihang said speechlessly.

"Actually, it doesn't take ten years to ........" Hearing the words of the voyage was really bold, Zhou Zong was really a little unbearable.

"Knowing why women give birth now, it's like going through the ghost gate, the biggest reason is because when they give birth, they are not old, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old baby, they have to give birth to a mother, they themselves are not yet mature, how can they ensure the safety of the mother and child.

Science has long proven that the best age for a woman to give birth is at least 20 years old, and of course after 23 years of age. I know why we often say that the eldest son is loyal and honest, and the children born later say that they are smart, lively and active, and the reason why this is so is not because the eldest son is really loyal and honest, but because the production is too early, so it is a little stupid, to put it mildly, it is stupid.

Therefore, the first family rule of my Wen clan is that a woman can only give birth after she is twenty. Wen Qihang emphasized.

"........" smelled Qihang's words, and said that Tao Gu and Zhou Zong were stupid, what kind of broken clan rules.

However, now Wen Qihang is the only man in the Wen clan, so he has naturally become the head of the Wen clan, so he said that the women of the Wen clan must give birth to children after twenty, and they must follow this rule.

"If Lord Wen doesn't plan to marry my little daughter, then how should I explain to the two Majesies." Zhou Zong asked.

"It's easy! I'd rather die than give in. Wen Qihang said irresponsibly.

"Who would rather die than give in?" Zhou Zong asked.

"This is an insult to Li Tang, of course, whoever thinks that he has been treated unfairly will be the one who would rather die than give in." Smell the sail stall.

"Didn't Lord Wen mean just now that he was treated unfairly?" Zhou Zongdao.

"Zhou Guanren, who believes what you say? Just your two flowery daughters, married to a man together, who can think that the man has been treated unfairly, I'm afraid it's too late to envy! Wen Qihang smacked his lips.
