Chapter 877: Old Friendship

The governor knows that his qualifications are mediocre, and it is already a great luck to be able to rely on his deceased father Yu Yin to become the governor of a province at this age. It is impossible for his children and grandchildren to receive the same holy favor again, and if they want to get ahead, in addition to their own efforts, they also have to be an elder to form a good relationship as much as possible and grace the younger generations.

For example, Yan Wangfu treated him well, even if he knew that he was suspected of spying on Yan Wangfu in Beiping, he still respected him. Therefore, even though other local officials knew that he was not very in charge of affairs and did not have much real power, they were still polite to him, and no one dared to openly slap his family in the face. He felt that if there was no accident, he should be in the post of governor of Beiping, so on the premise of not committing the king's taboo, he would make good friends with the Yan Wangfu, and his children and grandchildren would have a stable backer.

Now that he and his wife are matchmakers for the future son of Yan Wangfu, then the fate of their family and Yan Wangfu can be renewed for another generation, isn't it better?

The governor's wife had already quickly thought of marrying the Xie family, the future in-laws of the Yan Wangfu, and making plans for relatives with the Yan Wangfu.

However, these are all thoughts in her head, and they will not be revealed on her face. She chatted with the Wen family for a long time, and she also tried to find out, the Xie family was afraid that they didn't know anything about Xiao Rui's life experience, and they really regarded people as simple concubines of the general of the Zhuguo Kingdom. However, I don't know Xiao Rui's life experience, Xie Pu is willing to marry his beloved daughter to him, and in the future, Xiao Rui's life experience will be revealed, he can only be more surprised, the governor's wife does not think that she needs to talk more.

Anyway, the status of the prince of the vassal king is noble, but Xie Pu participates in politics as a provincial minister, and will be promoted to the political envoy soon after, and he is also a high-ranking official from the second grade, and his official status is not bad, and his concubine is worthy of being the princess of the vassal king.

Among the princes of the emperor today, the crown princess is the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Xue, and her father is just a six-rank petty official; The second prince's family affair has not yet been officially decided, saying that although the object of the kiss is the daughter of a famous general, the Lin family is now in trouble, and the future of the second prince is unknown. The fiancΓ©e of the third prince, Lan, was born in the down-to-earth Xunguibo Mansion; The fourth prince is still young. Compared with these serious and famous princes, the main room of the future prince of Yan Wang is from the family of high-ranking officials who are serious about the imperial examination, which sounds decent enough and in line with etiquette.

At most, when the princess got married, the identity of the prince may not have been officially canonized, and he can't have a grand royal wedding. But compared to the wealth and glory of the next half of life, what does it matter if the scenery is momentary?

The governor's wife chatted with the Wen family for a long time, and when she inquired about the situation of the Xie family's children, she heard that the eldest daughter had just been given to Huang Yan, and she also congratulated the Xie family on getting a good son-in-law, and said with a smile: "I have seen that child is good, but it's a pity that he will soon enter Beijing to prepare for next year's spring exam after he is lifted, and your family will start so quickly, otherwise I still want to grab it from the house." When she heard about the relationship between the Huang family and the Xie family, she was really surprised, "It turns out that Song Changshi's daughter and Lord Xie are mother and son, but our husband and wife don't know about it!" In the past, I lived in the Shengshang Mansion, with my in-laws and husband-in-law, for two years, and before Song Changshi's daughter got married, I also accompanied my mother-in-law to the Song family's courtyard as a guest a few times. It's just that I heard that Song Changshi's daughter returned to her hometown with her husband, so she broke off contact, but she didn't expect that there would be a reunion today. ”

Wen smiled and agreed, but knew in his heart that this was just a glorified statement.

At that time, Song's father did not approve of his son-in-law's contribution to the emperor who had not yet established a prince, and suggested that his daughter and son-in-law return to Huyin's hometown to run a school, so that the emperor with a small heart complained about it. Those old friends who have worked with Mr. Song, there are people like Jiao Wenying who have never forgotten the old friendship, and naturally there are also those who have alienated and neglected the Song family. Although the governor's father was of a low rank among the subordinate officials, he was very popular with the emperor because he was honest and obedient. Knowing that the emperor didn't like Lord Song, he naturally wouldn't have any personal dealings with Lord Song anymore. Otherwise, Boss Song has also served as the country's chief priest for many years, and how could the people who kept contact with him not know about such a big event as the death of his son-in-law?

But that's all in the past. Even the Song family doesn't care, so why should the Xie family talk about it anymore and add to their own happiness? Although the governor does not have much real power, he is also a high-ranking official. Xie Pu wants to work in Beiping for a few more years, there is no need to make enemies with others, there is a relationship between the Song family, and others are willing to mention old friendships, so he just pushes the boat with the flow.

The governor's wife ate directly at Xie's house before leaving, and seemed to really have a good conversation with Wen, and made an appointment with her to find a day with good weather and go to the temple to offer incense and pray together. However, the governor's wife did not mention that she would meet the Song family, and the Wen family did not send an invitation, even if the other party really planned to regain the old friendship with the Song family, it would be a matter for the future......

Wen mentioned the words of the governor's wife to her husband Xie Pu and her mother-in-law Song in the evening, and neither mother nor son objected. Song also chuckled: "After so many years, I have almost forgotten what she looks like." However, her mother-in-law was indeed a loving and generous elder. When I was about to get married, my mother had been gone for several years, and many of the brides' rules were taught to me by the wives of several adults in the palace, including her mother-in-law. Even in the face of the old man, I have nothing to hold grudges about. The eldest of his family is just looking at the face of the nobleman, and he has never fallen into the well, which is already considered kind. ”

Seeing that his mother said this, Xie Pu naturally had no other opinions, but in private, he told Wen's: "Our family should not discuss marriage with the governor's family, just make a good relationship with ordinary old acquaintances." Although his family is not a bad person, it is really purely by virtue of the Holy Grace that they have survived to their current status. Among the descendants, there is no particularly outstanding one, only a little stronger than the Zhou family. Because the children of his family have a good character and act honestly, they don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. But if you expect these children to make their way on their own in the future, there is little hope. ”

Wen said helplessly: "Where did it come to this? I saw that the governor's wife was quite kind, and she was still very strict with the children at home. If you can have such a tutor, you can't make a big mistake. Even if his family will not be as beautiful as it is now, as long as the child's character is good, what does it matter? ”

Xie Pu thought for a while: "That's fine, if you see the girl from his family and think it's not bad, you can show the junior and fourth phases." Concubines and daughters-in-law, as long as they are honest and decent, the next ones are secondary. But the girls in our family are all settled, so we don't have to look at the boys in his family. ”

Wen hurriedly asked: "Sister Hui'er and Sister Zhen'er's marriage has been decided, and Sister Fen'er has taken Mei Jun's fancy again, and they are indeed settled, but Sister Rong ...... Are you really going to give her to the child of the Wan family? If you make up your mind, shouldn't I talk to Sister Wan? ”

Xie Pu pondered for a while, but never gave her an accurate answer.
