Chapter 293: Daughters Don't Marry
Seeing off the king of Long An, Zheng Wan smiled and said to the lord of Yong'en: "Mother, my cousin is really a good person. ”
"Yes, the prince of the county followed your uncle, and he is a kind person, not like the Gu family's ......" The county lord of Yongen said this, and suddenly realized something, so he swallowed back the second half of the words.
This is the Long'an Palace, and the Gu family in her mouth, that is, the old lady Gu, has been the hostess in this mansion for many years, and there may still be old people left by the Gu family in this mansion.
The afterglow of the eyes of the county lord of Yong'en glanced at his daughter, and saw that her daughter's eyes were full of smiles.
Lord Yongen's heart moved, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
She withdrew the maid in the house, called Zheng Wan to her side, and said in a low voice: "Although your cousin is a dragon and phoenix among people, but after all, he is just an idle king, you can see his family affairs, others have reached his age, and there are several children, but he is not high or low, and he has not married in his twenties." The number of people in the capital doesn't want to marry their daughter, and with his identity, he can't marry a woman from a small family, you are not small, you have to know in your heart. ”
Zheng Wan hung her head slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings among flowers.
She didn't dare to lift her eyelids, she was afraid that her mother would see the loss in her eyes.
What woman doesn't fall in love with a man like my cousin?
The county lord of Yong'en looked at the bangs in front of his daughter's forehead and sighed: "In my opinion, after the New Year, the eldest prince and the second prince will discuss marriage, as well as Shen Xiao, now the Shen family has only this single seedling, and when his brother's filial piety expires, the queen mother will definitely give him Zhang Luo's family affairs." ”
It was expected that the eldest prince should discuss marriage, but the second prince and Shen Xiao were still beyond Zheng Wan's expectations.
"The second prince and the fourth prince Shen, aren't they all sick?" Zheng Wan still knew about the serious illness of the second prince from the king of Long'an County, and as for Shen Xiao, it was even more known to everyone.
Lord Yong'en snorted coldly: "The second prince is almost the same as a wasted person, there is no other use except for spreading branches and leaves, so what's the harm if you are sick?" Besides, he has nothing to do with the dragon chair, his princess is from a lower background, the better, and those six- and seven-grade petty officials are still rushing to marry their daughters? How about sick seedlings? Even if the daughter will be widowed in a few years, she is still a royal concubine, and the child she gave birth to is also royal blood. ”
Zheng Wan nodded frequently, her mother was right, she grew up in Shu since she was a child, and the daughters of those petty officials, not to mention being concubines for the prince, even being concubines are also very face-saving things.
Lord Yong'en continued: "Everyone said that Shen Sigongzi was sick, but when I saw him that day, he didn't look like he was sick at all, besides, if he was really sick, the Queen Mother would only be more anxious, you look at it, as long as the filial piety period is full, the first thing the Queen Mother will do is to give him a marriage." ”
Shen Lingze is no longer there, the eldest brother is the father, according to the law of the Great Zhou, Shen Xiao will keep filial piety for the eldest brother Shen Yuan for one year, that is to say, in February next year, Shen Xiao's filial piety period will expire.
Hearing her mother tirelessly talk about the relationship between the two princes and the fourth prince Shen, Zheng Wan's heart went up and down.
She knew that the son-in-law in her mother's heart was the eldest prince, and the reason why she never mentioned it to the queen mother was because there was also a fourth prince born by the queen, and her mother was worried that once it was the fourth prince who entered the East Palace, then the eldest prince who was most valued by the emperor would be in an embarrassing situation, and even with her, she would never come out, so it would be no different from marrying her cousin to be the princess of the county.
But today, my mother focused on the second prince and the fourth prince of Shen, does my mother want to retreat to the next best?
"Mother, the daughter has no brothers, and she doesn't need to bring her own relatives, no matter how good the name of the second princess is, it ...... The daughter didn't want to enter the Second Prince's Mansion. ”
For some reason, Zheng Wan's mind suddenly appeared Hua Jingyao's head full of chopsticks.
If she marries the second prince Zhao Qian, Hua Jingyao is afraid that she will laugh off her big teeth.
Hua Jingyao will definitely look down on her even more.
Yes, from the first time she saw Hua Jingyao, Zheng Wan had an intuition that Hua Jingyao was hostile to her, and it was very hostile.
Shouldn't she hate Hua Jingyao more?
A woman who has a father and no father, if her mother is not the eldest princess, Hua Jingyao will not even be able to get married.
The eldest daughter who lost her mother is still within five non-marrying, not to mention Hua Jingyao, what the eldest princess of Zhaoyang did was simply against women's morals, what kind of daughter could such a mother teach.
If she was in Shudi, she would be ashamed to even talk to this kind of woman.
Thinking of Hua Jingyao, Zheng Wan became more and more confident.
"Mother, my daughter would rather not marry than marry the second prince."
Lord Yong'en was stunned, she didn't expect her daughter to misunderstand what she meant.
"My son, my mother is not blinded by lard, how can she send you into the fire pit in order to covet the name of the second princess, don't worry, even if the queen mother takes the initiative to marry us and point you to the second prince, my mother will never agree, the big deal is to say that I have calculated the hexagram for you, saying that your family affairs will be a few years late, and the age of the second prince will not wait for a few years, and this matter will not be over."
Zheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth: "Mother, it's the daughter who thinks too much." ”
"You didn't think too much, my mother really wanted to ask the Queen Mother to give you a marriage, but it wasn't the second prince, but the fourth son of Shen." Speaking of Shen Sigongzi, the county lord of Yong'en remembered what she had just heard about Shen Xiao carrying a dead man through the city, and she felt a block in her heart.
"Mother, Shen Sigongzi, he ......" Zheng Wan also remembered the scene she had just seen on the street
