Chapter 272: Strange

Since the Zhou family has already come, of course they will not deliberately sell Guan Zi in front of Wei Fu.

"Sister-in-law, it is indeed Brother Nan'er's marriage that has progressed, speaking of which, thank you a lot, sister-in-law......" Zhou said.

In the past, although there was a duchess in Jing'anbo's mansion, the relationship between Weifu and her mother's family was extremely unharmonious, and the provinces in Beijing originally looked down on Jing'anbo's mansion, so naturally no one would be willing to make friends with the people of Jing'anbo's mansion.

Therefore, on various banquet occasions, Zhou rarely receives invitations.

And the Zhou family is not the kind of faceless person, knowing that others are not happy to talk about him, and he will never rush to talk to people, because he has married into Jing'anbo Mansion for many years, he has known a lot of ladies from various mansions, but there are very few people who can really communicate with him.

Even the few people who are willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the Zhou family are all because of the Zhou family, and those ladies also have no good impression of Jing'anbo Mansion.

In this way, after Wei Nan and Wei Bei reached the age where they should consider marriage, it was naturally more difficult for the Zhou family to find marriage for their two sons through various banquets.

Not to mention, anyone in Jingzhong who has a little status will not be willing to marry their daughter to the Wei family.

Since Wei Fu held that flower viewing banquet and invited Zhou to bring his children to come, Xu saw that the relationship between Wei Fu and her mother's family was not as bad as people knew before, on the contrary, the relationship between Wei Fu and her sister-in-law, nephews and nieces was extremely intimate.

Zhou knew what this was for.

But firstly, for Wei Fu's change, Zhou himself is also very happy, and secondly, for the marriage of her two sons, even if Zhou is a person who doesn't like to take advantage of others, but she can only be cheeky with this light.

Therefore, during this period of time, Zhou has participated in a lot of banquets.

Although even so, the ladies of the various provinces will not change their views on Jing'anbo Mansion, but for the Zhou family, the ladies also have a new understanding.

In addition, now Jing'anbo Mansion has a close relationship with the Duchess of Zhenguo, and the Duke of Zhenguo has always been very obedient to the Duchess of Zhenguo.

In short, under these many considerations, some people have also begun to see the two sons of the Zhou family, who have reached the age of discussing relatives.

The two families want to discuss their relationship, and they naturally have to go through some contact and inquiry, and since this period of time, the Zhou family has been in contact with a lady several times, and they are also satisfied with each other's children.

“…… The Cheng family is a scholarly family, and there have been several Hanlin in the last three generations, and then it is noble, but now the Cheng family's grandson is also a Hanlin, and he often listens to orders in front of the saint, and he is a real minister of the Son of Heaven, even in Beijing, and the lords of various prefectures also have to give the Cheng family a little more face......"

"Although the third girl of the Cheng family is not the daughter of Lord Cheng, she is also the eldest daughter of the second master of the Cheng family, the younger brother of Lord Cheng......

"I have also been in contact with Mrs. Cheng a few times, and she is the most knowledgeable person, and the girl who was raised by her will definitely not be far behind......"

Zhou told the story again.

Cheng family.

Wei Fu recalled everything he knew about the Cheng family in his heart.

Fifteen years have passed since she woke up and knew that her eyes were closed and opened, in order to better adapt to the capital after fifteen years, Wei Fu specially asked Manager Liu to present her the news of all the prefectures in the capital, and naturally there was also the Cheng family.

Just as the Zhou family said, the Cheng family has been in charge of the Han Lin for generations, and it can even be said that it is the head of the Qing Dynasty, and now the person in charge of the Cheng family, that is, the eldest master of the Cheng family, is listening to the order in front of the saint, and he is the real close minister of the Son of Heaven.

There has always been a saying that "if you are not a Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet", every cabinet elder in the cabinet is from Hanlin, don't look at the grade of the Cheng family, but as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he can't say that he will be able to enter the cabinet one day.

At that time, his status will naturally rise.

It is precisely because of this that officials in Beijing have always been extremely polite to the Cheng family.

These are no different from what Zhou said.

But......

Regarding the second master of the Cheng family, Wei Fu remembered something.

"Sister-in-law," Wei Fu said, "If I'm not mistaken, the current second lady of the Cheng family is not the second master of the Cheng family......"

The second master of the Cheng family is rumored to have been extremely handsome when he was young, so it naturally aroused the admiration of many boudoir daughters, and later the second master of the Cheng family was under the control of the elders in the family, and a girl from the side branch of Fanyang Lu made a marriage, which also caused a lot of boudoir daughters to be gloomy.

Fanyang Lu clan was a famous clan in the previous dynasty, although in today's Jing Dynasty there is no such scenery as before, but this kind of clan girl, in the matter of marriage, is still very sought after, the second master of the Cheng family can make a marriage contract with the daughter of the Lu family, even if it is just a side branch of the Lu family, it is also extremely difficult.

And after the second master of the Cheng family married the daughter of the Lu family, he soon had a daughter, that is, the third girl of the Cheng family mentioned by the Zhou family.

It is said that the second master of the Cheng family and the Lu family have a very strong relationship, and both of them love poetry and books, which can be regarded as a chorus of pianos.

However, I don't know if the good times didn't last long, or for some other reason, when the third girl of the Cheng family was five years old, Lu's father had a big birthday, and the second master of the Cheng family went to Fan Yang with the Lu family to celebrate his birthday, and I don't know what happened in the middle, in short, after the Lu family returned to the capital, he quickly had a serious illness and died like this.

And the three girls of the Cheng family, at a young age, have no mother.

The strangeness of the matter is that it has been less than 100 days since the Lu family passed away, and before the filial piety has come out, the Lu family married a cousin of the Lu family to the second master of the Cheng family on the grounds that the three girls of the Cheng family are still young and cannot be taken care of without their mothers.

Moreover, this little Lu is not the side branch daughter of Fan Yang Lu's family, but a real branch of the branch.

Clear-eyed people can naturally see the strangeness of this.

Although the Fanyang Lu clan is not as beautiful as the previous dynasty, this kind of big clan still guards the glory of the past, and it does have an extremely deep heritage, so the daughter of the Lu family has always been expensive, not to mention the daughter of the branch, even if it is a side branch, it will not be easy to allow people.
