787 For Your Good (6)
Fu Jingene was not stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning of Guan Zhenqi's words, and he said with an incredulous face: "What do you mean that he asked me to withdraw from my family, did he want me to go to the Gong family to be a son-in-law?" β
If he was the son of Lord Landa, it made sense for him to want to do this. But he has a few layers of relationship with Lord Lan and is not close, so what qualifications does he have to manipulate his marriage.
Guan Zhenqi smiled and said, "You don't have to be a son-in-law, you can choose a surname from among your sons." And you don't have a father or a mother, you can live with them and give them a pension. β
Fu Jingene smiled angrily and said, "If your guess is true, then I really envy Lord Gong for having such a close friend who plans for him." β
Guan Zhenqi knew that he was mocking Master Lan and said, "It's just my guess, maybe he's really good for you." β
Fu Jingene sneered: "If you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, and what you say is the truth nine times out of ten." β
"Marrying the only daughter of the Ministry of Works, you will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future. I don't think there are many people who can resist this temptation. Except, of course, for you. β
Fu Jingene can give up his life for Miss Lin, how could he give up Miss Lin to marry the daughter of Shangshu. Therefore, Master Lan's abacus is destined to fail.
Fu Jingene didn't let Liu Heizi inquire, he wrote directly to Lanting to ask about it.
Lan Ting's confidence jumped after reading it, and then he immediately went to him after Master Lan came back: "Dad, do you have other plans to let Jing Ne withdraw from his family?" β
Master Lan said with a straight face: "What do you think I have planned?" β
"For example, let Jing Ene withdraw from his family and be the son-in-law of Uncle Gong's family."
Master Lan looked at him and asked, "Who did you listen to about this?" β
Only he and Lao Gong knew about this matter, and they didn't understand why their son guessed.
Lan Ting's heart jumped and said, "Dad, do you really have this idea?" β
"I'm doing this for his good. That Lin has nothing to do except for a face, and marrying her will not only not help Jing Ene, but also drag him down. But if he marries Qilan, it will be different, your Uncle Gong will definitely do his best to cultivate him, and his career will be smooth sailing at that time. β
Lan Ting's face changed suddenly, and he said: "Dad, Uncle Gong is going to recruit a son-in-law, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be a son-in-law for people with Jing Ene's temperament." β
He thought Qingshu was very good before, but his attitude changed when Qingshu went to the Ministry of Rites on an errand. Now everyone is afraid of what to say or do because of the eldest princess, but in fact, many people want to catch her mistakes and drive her out of the Ministry of Rites. And if Fu Jingene marries Qingshu, he will definitely be squeezed out by many officials in the future. Therefore, after Master Lan said that he hoped that Jing Ene would withdraw from his family, he would persuade him.
Master Lan shook his head and said: "Your Uncle Gong said that you don't want him to be rich, you just need him to let his eldest son surnamed Gong give them a husband and wife pension in the future." β
It's not that Guan Zhenqi can pinch and calculate, but he knows that Gong Shangshu has relented. You don't need to make money, you just need to give a son to let the Gong family continue the incense and give the husband and wife a pension.
Gong Shangshu is one of the chief officials of the six departments, with a wide network and rich family resources, and many people are moved by his relenting. The Guan family was well-informed and naturally knew about it.
Lan Ting shook his head and said, "Dad, Jing Ene is very assertive and has a very strong personality. Your intention is for his good, but he may not appreciate it. Dad, it's better to forget it. β
"But I have promised you Uncle Gong that I will help him do this."
Lan Ting didn't know what to say: "Dad, how can you agree to this?" Jing Ene is not the heir of our house, and his marriage is up to him. β
Not to mention that Fu Jingene is just a student of his uncle and ancestor, even if he is the son of the second room or the side branch, their marriage should be decided by their parents and elders.
"He can't even look down on Qilan, who else does he want to marry?"
Lan Ting couldn't help but say: "For the sake of his future, we can persuade him to quit his family, but whether to withdraw or who he wants to marry after quitting his family has to decide for himself." β
Lord Lan said with an unkind face: "You mean my hand is stretched too long?" β
Lan Ting didn't answer this, but said: "Dad, Jing Ene has a deep love for Miss Lin, and he won't withdraw from his family." If you want to force him to withdraw from his family, not only will he not be grateful to you, but he will be estranged from our Lan family. β
Lord Lan said: "If he insists on marrying the Lin family, let him stop coming to the door of the Lan family in the future, and you are not allowed to have any more dealings with him." β
Lan Ting said: "Dad, even if he doesn't listen to our persuasion and is unwilling to withdraw from his family, this is also his private matter, and he can't make the relationship so stiff." β
If Master Lan can listen to the persuasion, his popularity will not be so bad: "If there is nothing to do, you can go down!" β
Lan Ting returned to his courtyard worriedly.
His wife, Hong, looked at him and asked, "What happened to his face so ugly?" β
Lan Ting told Master Lan about his plan: "Jing Ene will definitely not withdraw from his family, Dad is too stubborn." β
Hong said bluntly: "Dad is too self-righteous. Jing Ene said that he would not withdraw from his family, but he still wanted to break up people. This is for the good of others, he clearly wants to make a feud. β
"It's not as serious as you say. If it weren't for his grandfather's guidance, he wouldn't have been admitted to Baitan Academy. β
"That's just what I said. Hatred will not be settled, but it will certainly not be reconciled. Oh, no, my father-in-law doesn't allow people to come to the door to cut off contact! β
"I also persuaded him, but my father didn't listen to me."
The Hong family has been in the door for so many years, and he knows the temperament of Mrs. Lan: "Forget it, if Jing Ene doesn't withdraw from his family, no matter how much he has ideas, it will be in vain." But how do you know that? β
"It was Jing Ene who asked me, and I don't know how he knew."
Hong Shi said in surprise: "What you don't know, Jing Ene actually knows, he is very well-informed!" β
This is also where Lan Ting was surprised: "I will go and tell my mother and let him persuade my father." We can't interfere in this anymore. β
Hong said one thing to him: "Dad sent someone to Luoyang yesterday, I think he probably wanted his uncle to come to Beijing to persuade Jingene." β
The eldest grandmother of the Lan family was released with her husband, and now she assists Mrs. Lan in housekeeping, so she knows the movements of the family.
Lan Ting shook his head and said, "With Uncle Shi's temperament, as long as Jing Ene is unwilling to withdraw from his family, he will not be persecuted." β
Hong said: "And the Gong family, we have to remind us, otherwise we won't be human inside and out." β
She actually felt that the Gong family was not authentic, knowing that Fu Jingene had already decided to marry and had a good relationship with his fiancΓ©e, so they still had to come to get involved. I don't want to think about how reassuring such a character would be if Fu Jingene gave up Miss Lin so easily!
"I'll mention this to my mother."
Hong couldn't help muttering: "Tell me, what is my father-in-law doing!" β
Because of his self-righteousness, he has offended many people over the years. In the past, there was a grandfather, and those people didn't dare to do anything, but now that her grandfather is gone, she is really worried that something will happen.
