Chapter 347: Patriarchy

Xiao Xuanliang respects Wen Tianwen very much, because Wen Tianwen used to be his teacher, and Wen Tianwen is a very upright, honest and fair person.

He glanced at Wen Tianwen with clear eyes, and said very seriously, "Yes, Taishi." ”

Wen Taishi's expression immediately became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, Your Majesty, you need to think twice." ”

"Because, in our Eastern Continent, for thousands of years, no matter what dynasty, there has never been a matter of passing on a woman, let alone an empress."

"Especially in our Great Xiao, not only has it always been the concubine of the queen, and it has never been passed on to any princess, but even the princesses who have obtained the title are often a generation of dynasties, and only one or two have been produced."

"For example, Emperor Xiao Han has reigned for more than 60 years, and he has not given any princess titles. In the past eight years that Your Majesty has taken over the throne, you have only given the title to Princess Zhong Ling, who has made significant contributions to Da Xiao recently, and none of His Majesty's own daughters and nieces have been titled. ”

"What's more, your dragon body is healthy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is healthy, and the prince of the prince's mansion is in the prime of his youth, why worry about the prince of the prince's mansion in a few decades, can't he add a few great-grandsons for you?"

"Where can I use it, and now I plan to pass on a woman to Princess Zhong Ling?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is really an unprecedented thing to pass on the woman, I hope Your Majesty will retract your plan and think twice!" Cui Shicheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly stood up and echoed Wen Tianwen's words.

"Your Majesty, Weichen understands that you are a person who loves talents and cherishes talents very much, however, there is a difference between men and women, just like Wen Taishi and Cui Shangshu said, even if we have an empress in the Eastern Continent, since ancient times, there has never been an empress, and your intention to pass on Princess Zhong Ling is really out of line."

"Of course, Lingfeng, the daughter of Weichen, since marrying the prince of the Prince's Mansion, has injured her body because of childbirth, except for Princess Zhong Ling, she has not done anything else, which is indeed inappropriate."

"Weichen plans to wait to go to the Prince's Mansion to remind her to take good care of herself and start a branch for the Xiao family as soon as possible." Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, Chen Jingzhi, said next.

"Chen Xiang, there is something wrong with what you said. Princess Chen Shizi of the Prince's Mansion, although she injured her body because of childbirth, she didn't deliberately not give the Xiao family a branch, but Princess Zhong Ling is now over fourteen years old! ”

"For fourteen years, Concubine Chen has not come out again, which proves that it should be difficult for her to come out again."

"In my opinion, instead of reminding her to take good care of her body and start a branch for the Xiao family as soon as possible, it is better to marry another daughter to the prince and let another daughter help her spread the branches and leaves for the Xiao family!" Dingwei Wang Xiao Xian said with a dissatisfied face.

Although he has a very good relationship with Xiao Zhengzhen, his patriarchal thinking is extremely famous in the entire Lanling City and the entire Daxiao Imperial Family, and he is stupid to the point of outrageousness.

It is said that he has dozens of concubines, as long as he can give birth to a son, he is promoted as a noble concubine, and the monthly rate he gets is only less than 20% of the main room.

As long as you can't give birth to a son, when you give birth to your first daughter, you can still stay in the house and don't take a monthly rule, but you can ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Once they give birth to a second daughter, he will even bring the two daughters to the concubine himself, and send them back to the concubine's mother's house together, no more.

In this way, over the decades, he got more than twenty sons.

As for his daughter, the only one he recognized was the princess of the county, the princess of the county.

But even if it was for him, the county lord of his concubine, he let go of the main room handed over to him, and never ignored it, which was no different from not wanting it.

For example, when the county lord of Pianpian got married, he didn't bother to send him out.

And when the county lord returned to the door with her husband Sanchao, he simply took his sons out to hunt early, and did not stay at home to entertain at all.

made the people in Beijing afraid of his patriarchal obsession, and when his sons grew up, no one was willing to marry a serious concubine to his sons.

In the end, his sons, except for the two who came out of the main family, married the daughters of his mother's family, and the rest of the sons could only choose from the concubines of famous families.

But the poor family was happy to send their daughter to his house and be his son's concubine.

After all, as long as the daughters of these poor families have sons born, they can become noble concubines and bring a rich family.

In short, judging from what he has done in the past, it is impossible for a stubborn patriarch like him to change his concept and support Xiao Qiongzhi to inherit the throne and become the empress because he has a good relationship with Xiao Zhengzhen.

Xiao Qiongzhi was clear in her heart.

"That's the reason. Chen Xiang, what King Dingwei said is extremely true. You have to plan for this in advance, after all, your little daughter is about to turn eighteen years old, but she has never looked down on my dog. ”

"Come to think of it, in addition to the prince of the prince's mansion, it is difficult to have other men in Beijing who are worthy of her." Yao Zhong, who was sitting in the fourth seat in the right row, suddenly said to Chen Jingzhi seriously.

Xiao Qiongzhi's aunt Chen Minghua, since she was a child, has been favored by Chen Jingzhi because of her good-looking appearance and sweet mouth, including Xiao Qiongzhi's mother Chen Lingfeng, and Xiao Qiongzhi's two uncles, who also like her and develop her well-behaved and delicate on the surface, and extremely proud in her bones.

As early as when she was ten years old, she was named the first little beauty in Beijing, and she has always been the favorite object of marriageable men from famous families in Beijing.

It's a pity that she can do anything, but she can't study, and by the age of sixteen, she couldn't be admitted to Zhilan Academy, and she could only enter Chuxiu Academy, which is second only to Zhilan Academy, to study.

And Yao Qingyang, the eldest son of Yao Zhong, the Marquis of Dede, studied in the Xiuzhu Academy, which is separated from Chuxiu Academy by a wall.

Just because ten years ago, he met Chen Minghua once, he began to like Chen Minghua, in the past few years, he has been threatening not to marry Chen Minghua, and has asked Dehou Yao Zhong many times to come to the door for him to propose.

However, Yao Qingyang's one is more alternative.

He has obviously shown that he has no talent for literature since he was a child, and he is quick to learn martial arts, but he has always liked to emphasize literature and ignore martial arts, so that he has always been unable to write and martial arts.

Over the years, he has taken the examination no less than seven times, but he has not even been admitted, and until now, he is still in the Xiuzhu Academy and the Academy of Study, which is second only to Linfeng Academy in Beijing.

In this way, he will naturally be looked down upon by Chen Minghua.

It's just that Chen Minghua is a little vain, and she enjoys Yao Qingyang's infatuation with her.

Therefore, every time Yao Qingyang asked Guide Hou Yao Zhong to come to the door to propose marriage for him, Chen Minghua would ask Chen Jingzhi to pass the word, saying that she was still young and would not consider marriage for the time being, and she would talk about it later.

Guide Hou Yao Zhong felt that Chen Minghua was Chen Jingzhi's youngest daughter, and Chen Jingzhi wanted to stay for two more years, which was normal, and at first, he could accept this refusal.

It's just that in the past few years, Chen Minghua is about to turn eighteen years old, but he still hasn't agreed to marry Yao Qingyang, so he feels that he has been teased by Chen Jingzhi and Chen Minghua, and he is very dissatisfied.

Since last year, he has been talking outside, saying that Chen Minghua is a fox and a good match, Yao Qingyang is because he has liked Chen Minghua since he was a child, and he heard Chen Minghua say that he likes talents, so he obviously has no talent in literature, and he is quick to start martial arts, but he still chose to follow Wen.

caused Chen Minghua's reputation to be damaged, and the matchmakers who originally came to Chen Jingzhi to find Chen Jingzhi and say goodbye to Chen Minghua refused to go to the door of Chen's mansion again.

Later, Xiao Zhengzhen secretly came forward and reprimanded Yao Qingyang, and then, under his arrangement, Yao Qingyang openly stated that for Chen Minghua, he has always been unrequited love, and the matter of learning martial arts has nothing to do with Chen Minghua, so he can be regarded as saving Chen Minghua's reputation.

But with this matter, those famous families who attach importance to their reputation, where do they dare to choose Chen Minghua to be the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Chen Minghua's marriage has therefore become a big problem.

Now, Yao Zhong didn't open any pot, not only Chen Jingzhi's face darkened, but the faces of Xiao Zhengzhen and Xiao Qiongzhi also sank suddenly. ntent
