Chapter 1103: Dodging
Wen really went to find Mrs. Wan.
As she expected, Mrs. Wan showed a very disapproving attitude towards the wedding advance.
Mrs. Wan is indeed quite happy to become an in-law with the Xie family, but it is just that she is not happy with her concubine Wan Long. But considering that she was able to befriend Princess Yan through her in-law relationship with the Xie family, she felt that this little unhappiness was bearable. Besides, Xie Yingrong, the daughter-in-law of the concubine who has not passed the door, is a girl who will pretend to be obedient and submissive in front of her, not the kind of person who will stiffen her neck and can't get along with her.
According to Mrs. Wan's assumption, Wan Long and the three girls of the Xie family are married, and they must wait until their two sons marry famous ladies before they can get married. Now the Xie family actually proposed to let Wan Long and the three girls of the Xie family pass over their two sons, get married first, and then go back to the capital to be an official to enjoy happiness? ! That's a dream! Her sons and daughters have not yet been admitted to the meritorious examination, and they have officially become officials, and Wan Long has already been lucky enough to enter the Yanwang Mansion as an errand for eight lifetimes, why should he enter the court as an official faster than her son? ! She and her husband Wan San are still suffering in the bitter cold land of Beiping, and Wanlong can go back to the capital? It just doesn't make sense!
It was not easy for Mrs. Wan to hold back her anger and not turn her face on the spot in front of Wen. But the expression on her face couldn't be seen anywhere: "What do you say?" The young and the old are orderly, this is the number of etiquette, it is the rule! The second girl in the house got a noble son-in-law, and the in-laws did not marry her out in a hurry, but waited for the eldest girl in the house to hold the wedding first, which shows that the house is also a person who understands etiquette. There are two older brothers in our family! These two brothers have not yet decided on a marriage, so it is not very suitable to give the third brother first, so how can he let him cross the two brothers and marry first? I don't know which house rules this is. We don't have this reason in the Pyeongchang Hou Mansion! ”
Wen frowned slightly when he heard this, but he still said as calmly as possible: "I am also very surprised if I don't hide it from my in-laws." Our family is going to marry two daughters this year, and we are already a little busy, and now there is the arrival of the queen mother. In addition, our family has also reached the age of seeing each other...... I originally thought that the eldest son and the second son of the house have not yet said that they are married, and when they get married, it will not be too late to marry our third girl and Brother Long. The three girls stay at home for two more years, and they can also make me an arm. Otherwise, there are many things in the family, and I have always had to rely on the help of two big girls to take a breath. When they get married, where can I find help? Don't you have to rely on three girls and four girls? I never thought that I would marry the three girls so soon. ”
Mrs. Wan raised her eyebrows, smiled on her face, and didn't believe a word in her heart. She heard it clearly, the Xie family originally planned to marry three daughters in one go, but it has not yet been finalized whether the third girl, Xie Yingrong, will marry within this year or next year. The attitude of the Xie family is already quite obvious, and they don't want to leave the unconscious third girl at home for too long. Mrs. Wan still has some plans for herself, and she is ready to wait for Mrs. Xie Wen to come to discuss the marriage date, and use this as a bargaining chip to ask for more benefits for her two sons and two daughters. Although the Xie family has a poor background, Xie Pu is being her husband's boss and has become an in-law with Yan Wangfu, so he can always come up with something.
But on the premise of doing that, Wan Long, a cheap breed, is still a small follower in the Yanwang Mansion, even if he burned high incense in his previous life, he can become a guard by the side of King Yan! Anyway, he can't enter the court as an official, let alone rise to prominence from now on, and completely suppress her two sons!
Mrs. Wan didn't speak, Wen paused, and then continued: "This matter...... In fact, when I was in Yanwang's Mansion yesterday, I heard the nobles mention it. said that Brother Long's errand in the capital was done well, and the prince had the heart to use him, so he specially arranged a future for him. In all these aspects, the prince has taken care of everything, and is waiting for him to act according to the order after the beginning of spring next year. Brother Long is originally from the Yan Palace, and we don't dare to ask the prince what he wants to do with him, so we can only obey orders. Anyway, this marriage doesn't have to be pompous, it just needs to be very different, just leave the line. I estimate that the prince and princess are only afraid that there will be grace to come down, so that outsiders will know that Brother Long is highly appreciated by them, so that after Brother Long enters Beijing, fewer people will be embarrassed by him. Speaking of which, this is also a decent ...... for both of us."
Mrs. Wan's face became even more ugly. What decency? Where is this her decency?! It's just her face!
But she couldn't say it, because in the eyes of outsiders, Bandung was her son, and to give him grace was to give her grace. She can't help but be thankful! But this grace was disgusting to her!
Mrs. Wan said with a dark face: "I don't dare to agree to this matter. Although the palace is noble, our lord is an official of the imperial court, and everything obeys the holy order, but there is no need to obey the decree of King Yan in everything. If the prince wants our family to obey, then please make it clear, at least there must be a warrant written in black and white, so that I dare to tell the old lady and the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou that in order to do things according to the will of the nobles, there will be disobedience to the etiquette law, please the old lady and the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou do not blame. Otherwise, the old lady and the Hou Ye will blame them, and it won't be me, the housewife, who will be reprimanded? ! ”
Of course, it is impossible for King Yan to give Wanjia a warrant. If he wants to arrange Bandung into the imperial court, he will definitely do something that is not easy for outsiders to know. As soon as the warrant came out, didn't he clearly tell everyone that Wan Long was his spy? Then even if Wan Long enters the military department, he will be a waste, wouldn't King Yan waste his efforts? Although Mrs. Wan is not a very smart person, she still understands this truth, so she speaks very fearlessly.
Wen didn't understand why Mrs. Wan had to be so stubborn: "Where did it come to this?" It's just a marriage of children that has been decided a long time ago. I also knew that this was not very proper, so as soon as I got the letter, I came to consult with my in-laws. If the in-laws feel that it is inappropriate, we can discuss it again, and we can always negotiate a result, which can not only satisfy the palace, but also not violate the etiquette of our two families. ”
Mrs. Wan took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, in-laws, I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's really ...... No matter how noble the Yanwang Mansion is, it can't care when the children of our Pingchang Marquis Mansion will marry a daughter-in-law, right? In fact, what can Bandung be capable of? It's just a sycophant and a pleasing man. His careful thinking and calculations, in a place like Beiping, which is far away from the center, can still fool a few people, and when he arrives in the capital where the sperm of others gathers, it will not be of any use at all, and he will not spoil the prince's business! Let's let him go back to Beiping! He is back, and next year his two brothers will decide to marry, and then they will give him a wedding. In this way, there is more time, and the two of us don't have to be in a hurry in the cold weather. ”
Before Wen could answer, Senator Wan's angry voice came from outside the door: "Not good! ”
