Cheng Yue nodded and said, "I know all the people my father-in-law said, they have good character and knowledge, and my father-in-law is also good for me, and I hope they will be used by me." However, did my father-in-law ask my three sisters-in-law about this? Who do they want to marry? ”
Wen Tianxiang was stunned and said, "Ask them what to do?" Do they say that if they don't marry, they won't marry? So what do you need your parents to do? ”
Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "That's a major event in their lives, can't they all express their opinions?" Father-in-law, it's not right for you to think like that. They can marry whoever they like, even if it is to marry a peddler and a pawn, as long as they have a good character, they can do it. I know that my father-in-law wants to help me, but when it comes to marriage, it is inconvenient for my son-in-law to make up ideas for them. ”
Wen Tianxiang sat in a daze for a long time when he heard this, and was a little persuaded by Cheng Yue in his heart. With Cheng Yue's current status, even the emperor's relatives can only curry favor with him, and there is no need to consolidate the relationship with each other by marrying relatives.
But having said that, whether it is Su Liuyi, King Xiu, or King Rong, they usually have a close relationship with themselves, and the son-in-law candidates they choose for their daughters can be called temporary choices.
Thinking of this, Wen Tianxiang had no choice but to ask again: "Virtuous son-in-law, if they are willing to marry these people, the virtuous son-in-law has no opinion, right?" ”
Cheng Yue sighed, he didn't have a good excuse to excuse Liu Niang, he had done his best, and said, "Father-in-law." If they really want to marry. How could the son-in-law disagree? ”
Wen Tianxiang said happily: "Then it's decided." I'll go back and talk to them, and they'll be willing. ”
Cheng Yue shook his head secretly, Wen Tianxiang would at least touch a big soft nail at Liu Niang's place, and it was better for him to intervene less now.
At this time, it was already noon, Cheng Yue ordered Yaleju to send wine and food, and held a banquet on the top floor, watching the scenery with the ministers, talking and laughing. It's one of life's great joys.
Qunchen drank water from the faucet, used the toilet for convenience, and enjoyed these conveniences that he had never thought of, and he was reluctant to leave at all. The ministers who had bought the house were even happier, and they all planned to bring their families over for a few days as soon as possible, so that they could see what the future life of the Metropolitan Governor was like.
Cheng Yue was socializing with his ministers while constructing the future sewer system of Lin'an in his mind. He didn't realize that he had just stabbed a hornet's nest, and Lin'an City would be shaken by him again.
After returning home, Cheng Yue immediately found Jin Luxiang, Ye Feng and Zhang Shirong. Put your ideas together. The three of them were in high spirits, and they all realized that what Cheng Yue was going to give them was a major event that would affect future generations.
Most of the project has been completed. You can start preparing for the hand. And Ye Feng and Zhang Shirong's furniture work is very good, the scheduling is well-organized, and they are also down-to-earth and low-key, and they can be boldly reused.
Cheng Yue explained to them in detail the importance of urban planning and sewerage, and drew many architectural drawings for them. The three of them stayed in Cheng Yue's study until night, and were impressed by Cheng Yue's grand plan, and immediately went back to prepare.
Wen Tianxiang returned home and happily relayed Cheng Yue's words to the three ladies, and exclaimed: "My son-in-law, such a big thing does not benefit me, but I think not to let Liu Niang and them not be happy, and let Dingniang marry him is the most correct decision in my life!" ”
Ouyang said with a smile: "The master took a lot of effort and effort to let Dingniang marry him, and such a son-in-law is called a good one!" It's a pity that there is only one Cheng Yue, Liu Niang and the girls don't have such a good life. "Dingniang is the biological son of the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family is particularly proud. Anyway, it was Cheng Yue who fell in love with Dingniang, and she was not afraid that Huang and Yan would be angry when she said this.
When Huang and Yan heard Mrs. Ouyang say this, they were also a little disappointed in their hearts. Although Liu Niang, Huanniang and the person to be married by the prison lady are also one in ten thousand characters, if they were other people, they would have been celebrated a long time ago. But compared with Cheng Yue, it is much more overshadowed. Both of them are concubines, and the daughters they gave birth to are not as good as the main ones. But then again, Liu Niang, Huan Niang and Prison Niang are all daughters of concubines, and they can marry into the family and dignitaries to be their wives openly, what can they complain about?
Huang smiled: "Liu Niang's life is good enough, what is there to be dissatisfied with marrying into the Su family as a stepwife?" "She is the mother of Liu Niang and the prison mother, of course she has to speak for Liu Niang.
Yan said: "Do the officials want to talk to them now?" ”
Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said, "Without further ado, my virtuous son-in-law will go north in less than a month, so it's better to settle down as soon as possible." These companies have been waiting for months, and they can't talk back. ”
Yan instructed the servants to summon Liu Niang, Huan Niang, and the prison lady to come, and the master had something to say to them.
As soon as the three daughters heard that they were called over, their hearts involuntarily "knocked" and jumped, knowing that they were going to talk about their life's events. One by one, they walked out of the house, lowered their heads, and held hands with each other to Wen Tianxiang's study.
Wen Tianxiang saw his three daughters walk in, standing slimly in front of him, and he sighed infinitely in his heart, he was about to marry his three daughters again after half a year. Fortunately, he has three sons and two daughters who can stay with him for a few more years.
Wen Tianxiang said lovingly: "You sit down first, I have something to tell you." ”
The three daughters sat down crampedly, their hands twisted together, and lowered their heads to listen to Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang said: "You have also seen these days, there is an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage, you are all over sixteen years old, it is time for your father and mother to think about you." Daddy and your mother-in-law have carefully selected husbands for you, and you must have heard that they are good husbands and worthy of you, regardless of their family background and appearance. I have already discussed with your brother-in-law today, and I will call them back as soon as you wish. Also, Prison Lady, do you want to marry into the Xiuwang Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion of Master Wu? After speaking, he smiled slightly, and was a little proud.
These three daughters were all concubines, and according to the common sense of the Song Dynasty, they should be no different from slaves in the family. But Wen Tianxiang is a big family, and he himself is also enlightened, and he does not treat them as people, but also loves them, which makes the brothers and sisters very harmonious. Now that he is taking advantage of Cheng Yue's momentum, he can actually marry these concubines into Zhong Ding's family as his wife, and he himself feels that there is really nothing to be sorry for these daughters. This is the beauty of power, and it is also the benefit of Cheng Yue's treating his wife and concubine equally.
Huanniang and the prison mother know their situation, they are already very lucky compared to other concubines, and asking for more is undoubtedly ignorant and will make their father angry. So they all got up and said, "Daughter, but it's up to your father to decide." ”
Wen Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction, looking at Liu Niang out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't see Liu Niang get up to answer the order.
Huang was stunned and was very surprised. Regarding the matter of marrying Liu Niang to Su Liuyi as a stepmother, she has already given Liu Niang a few times openly and secretly, although Liu Niang did not nod, but she did not object, what is the matter now? Don't want to? Why?
Wen Tianxiang didn't expect Liu Niang to disobey his arrangement again, a wave of anger slowly rose from his chest, his face sank, he put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Niang, although Master Su is a few years older than you, his character and knowledge are excellent, and he is also very valued by your brother-in-law. Master Su now has no wife and concubine, just waiting for you to go over to preside over the feed, are you dissatisfied? ”
Liu Niang bit her lip and plucked up her courage to say, "Daddy, brother-in-law said that you need your daughter's consent, right?" ”
Wen Tianxiang frowned and said, "Yes, your brother-in-law did say so, and I agreed." Why, you don't agree? ”
When Liu Niang heard that Cheng Yue really kept his promise and spoke for himself in front of his father, the mist in her eyes flashed, she calmed down, and said firmly in the face of Wen Tianxiang: "Then, my daughter wants to say that my daughter doesn't like Master Su, and my daughter doesn't want to marry him!" ”
Wen Tianxiang was furious, slapped the table heavily, and shouted angrily: "Bastard! What the hell do you want to do?! ”
The three ladies, Huanniang, and the prison lady saw that Wen Tianxiang was so angry, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly got up from their seats and stood with their heads down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang stepped forward and pulled Liu Niang to kneel on the ground, and begged bitterly: "The official is angry, Liu Niang is not sensible, just wait for the concubine to persuade her." Master Su is a good son-in-law who can't be asked for by others, and no one can say anything about the hard work of the officials. Liu Niang was confused for a while, and the officials were not angry. ”
The Huang family knelt down, and the Yan family, Huanniang, and the prison lady of course also knelt down and interceded for Liu Niang together.
Wen Tianxiang ignored them, pointed to Liu Niang, who was kneeling on the ground with a stubborn face, and reprimanded: "For your sake, I asked you to marry the Metropolitan Governor as a concubine, but you didn't want it, but Dingniang married in the past and became a flat wife, how are you doing now?" Now for your sake, let you marry Master Su, you still don't want it, do you want me to use the family law to be obedient? ”
Liu Niang was also very scared when she saw Wen Tianxiang so angry, but she knew that she must not compromise at this time, so she calmed down and said stubbornly: "However, my brother-in-law clearly said that I had to ask my daughter to agree, no matter how good Master Su is, my daughter doesn't want to marry him, and my father promised my brother-in-law, but I can't say it." ”
Wen Tianxiang was so angry that he slapped the table again, and said angrily: "Your brother-in-law is used to you, but I am not used to you!" I promised your brother-in-law, but you can't go too far! Don't marry this, don't marry that, but tell me, if you don't agree, then where are you going to find the man you want to marry? Do you want to go out into the street and look for it yourself? Do you want to hold a son-in-law election for your father, and find three or five thousand men for you to choose from, according to your requirements?
