Chapter 272: Convincing Zhao Chengwen
If it was still on the eve of Zhao Chengwen's departure from Xining, he would definitely be overjoyed to hear Su Ziheng's courtship. But today, he did not hesitate to refuse Su Ziheng's request.
Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bitter face: "Uncle, the little nephew knows that his request is very unreasonable, but he still hopes that his uncle can agree." Regardless of the uncle's conditions and conditions, the little nephew can agree to come down together. ”
Zhao Chengwen was still unmoved, and snorted coldly: "Su boy, if you want me to agree to your proposal, there is only one condition, that is, you and Zhong Qinghan will divorce, can you do it?" ”
"This ......" Su Ziheng hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Please forgive the little nephew for not being able to agree." ”
Zhao Chengwen said angrily: "Since you can't divorce Zhong Qinghan, then you came to me to ask you to marry Wan'er, what kind of heart do you have?" Do you really think that my Zhao family is a merchant, so you can be bullied? ”
Su Ziheng was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood what I meant, and the little nephew has no such intention." ”
Zhao Chengwen said angrily: "Then what do you mean?" You refuse to withdraw from the marriage, and you want to marry Wan'er, don't you just want Wan'er to make you a small one, let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible! ”
Zhao Wan'er was still very sad when she heard her father's rejection of Su Ziheng's proposal outside, but when she suddenly heard this, she was stunned. It turns out that his father is still the father who loves him the most, no matter what decision he makes, he is always thinking about himself, and he doesn't want to be wronged in the slightest.
Only then did Su Ziheng understand why Zhao Chengwen was so fiercely opposed, it turned out that he was worried that Wan'er would be angry if he entered his house and was small. It's no wonder that Zhong Qinghangui is the princess of Donghai County, and it is reasonable for her to be small, and she will definitely be her wife.
In this way, if Zhao Wan'er really marries herself, she can only be a concubine. In this era, the status of a concubine is very humble. If the mother of the family is good, the husband still loves the family, and has another son, and the life at home may be guaranteed in the future. If there is no such thing, when old age and decay, there will only be endless desolation.
It's just that...... My situation is different from others. First of all, if you don't mention that your thinking is different from that of people of this era, even if you marry back to your own family, you won't deliberately distinguish between what sizes, and you will definitely treat them equally and together.
Again, the night before departure, Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan had already discussed how to live in the future. Although Zhong Qinghan made it clear that she would not marry, she also proposed that she would not enter her Su family. Because once she marries into the Su family, maybe her title of Donghai County Lord will not be withdrawn by Emperor Xia, but her fiefdom will definitely be withdrawn.
It is impossible for Emperor Xia to give the fiefdom of a county to a person who is not related by blood and has not made great contributions, just by marrying a princess with a foreign surname.
If Zhong Qinghan wanted to keep the fiefdom and inherit it, she could only recruit horses, not marry others. And only Zhong Qinghan's eldest son follows his mother's surname, and only has the right to inherit the fiefdom of Donghai County.
Zhong Qinghan had already consulted Su Ziheng and asked him if he agreed to be a colt and let her give birth to her first eldest son surnamed Zhong.
Su Ziheng naturally has no doubt about this, in his previous life, there were many children with his wife's surname on the earth, and he didn't see anything bad about other people's feelings, as long as it was his own biological child, what does it have to do with whose surname? Could it be that because he doesn't take his surname, he doesn't love him? This doesn't exist!
Zhong Qinghan also promised Su Ziheng that he could marry another wife for the Su family and inherit the Su family's incense, so that they would be safe. It's just that Su Ziheng is a little tired and often runs at both ends.
In this regard, Su Ziheng also feels that there is no pressure, and he has enjoyed the blessings of Qi people, so what is the point of being tired and tired?
It was precisely because of Zhong Qinghan's decision that Su Ziheng made up his mind to come to Jiangning to ask Zhao Wan'er for marriage. On the one hand, he didn't want to live up to Zhao Wan'er, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the power of the Zhao family to vigorously develop the business of Donghai County.
Su Ziheng let out a long breath, held his back and left, and when there were only two people in the hall, he relayed Zhong Qinghan's words to Zhao Chengwen.
At the end, Su Ziheng promised: "Uncle, please rest assured, Miss Wan'er will definitely not let her be wronged in the slightest if she marries her little nephew." ”
After listening to Su Ziheng's words, Zhao Chengwen didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was still immersed in Zhong Qinghan's words just now, "The eldest son born follows his mother's surname and inherits his mother's inheritance." This reminded him of his own situation, and he was a little moved for a while.
He coughed lightly, "Nephew, do you say you don't mind your first child taking her mother's surname?" ”
Su Ziheng nodded and said: "Yes, as long as it is my son, with my surname or his mother's surname, I won't care, I will still treat it as my own and treat it equally." ”
"Then ......" Zhao Chengwen's old face turned a little red, and he twisted: "If the old man agrees to marry Wan'er to you, can the son born to you and Wan'er in the future let a person surnamed Zhao inherit my Zhao family's property?" ”
Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "There is no problem, not only that, if Wan'er wants to stay with the second elder, the little nephew has no objection." It's just that in this way, the uncle's family needs to be relocated to Donghai County, and it's not good that the little nephew and Wan'er are too far apart. It would be inconvenient for the little nephew to go back and forth. ”
"Is that true?" Zhao Chengwen stood up from his position and looked at Su Ziheng with blazing eyes.
Once the daughter can live with him, it is equivalent to hiring a son-in-law instead of marrying his daughter. Although this son-in-law is a little bigger, and there are other wives in the family, but so what? As long as Wan'er is willing to do so.
As for moving the family from Jiangning to Donghai County, it is not a big deal. It just so happens that his business has not improved much in Jiangning, and it is not impossible to develop in a new place. Didn't he go to Liangzhou from Jiangning and create a huge Zhao firm.
Su Ziheng replied respectfully: "It's true, don't worry about this, uncle." Since the little nephew can agree to the conditions of light cold, there is no reason to treat Wan'er differently. For the little nephew, as long as the two of them can really be together, nothing else is a problem. ”
"Slap" Zhao Chengwen slapped the table excitedly and replied loudly: "Okay!" As long as what you say is true, the old man can give you an answer today. As long as you are ready, you can marry Wan'er at any time. But before I can do that, I'll have to ask Wan'er for an encounter, if she doesn't object. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chengwen turned his gaze to the window and coughed lightly, "Okay, Wan'er, you have also eavesdropped a lot, hurry in, my father has something to ask you." What do you think of Ziheng's suggestion just now? ”
Zhao Wan'er didn't expect that her actions would have fallen into her father's eyes, and her face was flushed with shame, and she turned her head and ran, "Everything about my daughter depends on her father." ”
