572, goodbye Cui Ying
"Lin'er, your good sister Ying'er is also here, do you want to meet her?" Cui said.
"Sister Cui Ying is here? I'll go meet her! Cheng Lin said.
After Cheng Lin finished speaking, he immediately took Jingwen to the backyard of Cheng's house and returned to his boudoir. And Cheng Lin saw a woman in it, that is, Cui Ying. If you want to talk about this Cui Ying, Jingwen still has some impressions, because they have seen it a few times. A few years ago, that Cui Ying was only sixteen years old, and he and the Cui family wanted to talk about Jingwen together, marry a concubine of the Cui family, and then take advantage of the situation as Cui Ying's father's helper. But then Jingwen refused, so the matter was over. But now that I see Cui Ying again, she has become a young royal sister who is about to be twenty years old. Well, in ancient times, twenty years old could be called a royal sister.
"Sister Cheng Lin, are you also married? Time flies so fast, when we were playing together when we were kids, we used to joke that we would marry the same person and get married together. But now you're getting married first, but I'm afraid I'm going to be soon. Cui Ying said.
Cheng Lin also said: "It's just a joke when I was a child, I can't take it seriously!" β
Who would take the joke when I was a child! As for the statement of marrying the same person, if Cheng Lin is just the adopted daughter of the Cui family, it is not a big problem, it is just a big deal to let Cheng Lin be a concubine! But now Cheng Lin is Cheng Yanjin's daughter, and Cui Ying is also the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Cui family, of course it is impossible. Now that Cheng Lin is Jingwen's wife, do you still want Cui Ying to be Jingwen's concubine? Where can the Qinghe Cui family accept this? So, this can only be a joke. Even Jingwen had never had this daydream.
"Miss Cui Ying, it's been a long time, you're really getting more and more beautiful!" Jingwen said.
"I didn't expect that you were still a famous general, and the Turks were beaten by you and had to be convinced. Now it's the third grade of the official residence, which is amazing. Cui Ying also replied.
Jingwen also said casually: "The world says that if you can't marry a woman with five surnames. Even if you become the prime minister, it's not enough to be satisfied! β
Jingwen just remembered that there was such a saying in the Tang Dynasty, that is, there was a prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who became the prime minister many years after passing the Jinshi examination. It stands to reason that his life is also very brilliant, but what he said is a pity that the only regret in this life is that he was not able to marry a girl with five surnames. And the five surnamed women are the daughters of the seven wealthy families of the seven sects and five surnames during the Tang Dynasty, these seven wealthy families will almost never intermarry with other families, even if they occasionally intermarry with other families that are not as good as their own, it is also a concubine, and it will definitely not be a concubine. Therefore, Jingwen also said that it is better to marry a woman with five surnames than to become a prime minister.
Cui Ying shook her head and said, "No, our seven sects and five surnames are not strong enough to be so strong. If we do get to this journey. You wouldn't have been qualified to marry one of our concubines in the first place. β
Cui Ying didn't know where Jingwen's words came from, but Cui Ying knew that her seven sects and five surnames had not yet reached this Cheng dΓΉ. At that time, the Cui family was able to marry a concubine to Jingwen, who was from a humble background and even belonged to an almost untouchable person, which showed that the Cui family was not strong enough to ignore the strength that Jingwen mastered. But now Jingwen is actually boasting about the seven sects and five surnames like this, this is obviously touting.
However, Jingwen has some memory mistakes, the so-called being a prime minister is not as good as marrying a woman with five surnames, in fact, it refers to the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when the family reached its peak. Now the seven clans and five surnames have just experienced hundreds of years of troubled times. It's not completely recoverable yet! Therefore, Jing Wen's words somewhat overestimated the strength of the seven sects and five surnames. Now, although the seven sects and five surnames are not as good as Emperor Li Tang, they do not have the ability to make the prime ministers of the current dynasty feel so emotional, and the status of the prime minister of a country is still very high. If you don't become the prime minister, you might as well marry a woman with five surnames. Taking a step back, if Li Tang's prime minister is still young and willing to marry a daughter of seven clans and five surnames as a wife, then the seven clans and five surnames will probably give his daughter to him. This is all because the seven clans and five surnames have not reached their peak.
"Sister Cheng Lin, I'm going to get married too." Cui Ying said.
"Oh? Who is my brother-in-law? Cheng Lin asked.
"Lu Jian, the head of the Fanyang Lu family." Cui Ying said.
"What? You're going to marry that old man? Cheng Lin asked.
Jingwen was immediately curious and wanted to ask what was going on. And I found out later. Lu Jian, the head of this Lu family, is an old man. Ghost, he actually wants Cui Ying to be his filler. Lu Jian is in his fifties, but since he saw Cui Ying once, he has kept it in his heart. And this time, Cui Ying's father, Cui Tan, originally wanted to get the support of the Lu family, and then keep the inheritance position of the eldest son. originally planned to marry Cui Ying to his son, but this guy actually said that he wanted to continue the string and marry Cui Ying in person. This almost made Cui Ying's father Cui Tan dizzy, because this generation is not right!
Originally, this kind of family pays the most attention to seniority, Lu Jian, the head of the Lu family, and Cui Ying's father, Cui Tan, are the same generation, but they actually want to marry Cui Tan's daughter Cui Ying, which is really difficult to do, because the issue of seniority is a very fatal one. And now the head of the Cui family, the old immortal, is over seventy, but he still occupies the pit in the position of the head of the family and does not, but he does not give way to his son. Therefore, Cui Tan's eldest son is very dangerous, and he may be overtaken by those younger brothers at any time. And Lao Tzu also has an ambiguous attitude. I don't know what he thinks. Therefore, Cui Tan hopes to have foreign aid. At first, he wanted to find Jingwen, but Jingwen was unwilling to marry a concubine, so naturally it would be over. And now that he has found the Lu family, this Lu Jian actually proposed to fill the house, and in the end, Cui Tan could only compromise.
"Why do you have to find the Lu family?" Jingwen said.
However, Cheng Lin took the initiative to explain: "If you want to find foreign aid, you must have a certain strength, but you can't be too strong, this Cheng DΓΉ must be mastered." At that time, the Cui family was looking for you, that is, because although you had enough strength, you were not from a high background, and it was difficult to oppose the customer. But you don't want to marry a concubine, so Uncle Cui Tan can only give up. Because it is impossible for the Cui family to marry their eldest granddaughter to you, this is a question of your origin. Although you don't pay attention to this, the family is very particular about this. β
"And the Lu family is different, although the Lu family is also seven clans and five surnames, but now they have just been hit by the troubled times, and they are not able to have enough strength. Therefore, the size and length of this foreign aid are just right, so you don't have to worry about luring wolves into the room. Therefore, the Lu family was almost his only choice, so he could only compromise. But marrying the head of the Lu family, naturally you can't just take out a concubine and send it away, you must have a concubine. Now that Lu Jian, the head of the Lu family, has taken a fancy to Cui Ying's sister, he can only admit it. Cheng Lin explained. (To be continued......)
