Fang Jinglan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Today's emperor is very old, although he established the prince early, but the prince's biological mother is low, although he bears the name of the emperor's eldest son, the biological mother is not high, there are two princes from the queen below, the third prince died early, the fourth prince and the five princes are all noble by their mothers, and they also have their own support in the court, but the prince is lonely, although he does not discuss the emperor's family affairs in his life, but for fear of what happens, it is better to deal less with the heavenly family." These families who are involved with the princes and princes are lucky and prosperous, and if they are unlucky, they ----will never be able to turn over. ”

The old lady nodded and praised; "Over the years, the master has become more and more proficient in accidents. Yes, that's what I think. ”

"Then only Pingyang Hou remains." Fang Jinglan's eyes were blazing, and his fingers on the wenge wood with a waist incense table were unconsciously clenched.

"Pingyang Hou is just right, and his family style is very strict. There is no in-laws to serve, and there is no concubine to be wordy, and if you really marry a child, you will not be wronged. It's just that although this Marquis of Pingyang has a title, he is not as good as before. Especially I heard that the second son of Zhong is still a widower. ”

Yes, a declining family of lords, still a widower, as the daughter of the real Fangfu, it is not considered a high climb to marry, but ---

Fang Jinglan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "This Pingyang Marquis rarely interacts with the powerful people in Beijing, and he never participates in the affairs of the emperor's family, so he avoided this flying disaster. Although it has declined, it is better to have a title by your side than nothing. Ying Anhou before, how majestic he was, but he participated in the concubine competition case, the emperor was furious, although he did not take away the title, but he was also greatly reprimanded, and took away the royal house and grange, and the days were getting worse and worse. According to his son, instead of marrying into a powerful family and taking on the unprovoked disasters that are coming at any time, it is better to calm down and be a Qingliu powerful lady with peace of mind. Mother: Why? ”

The old lady was satisfied with Fang Jinglan's analysis, "The old man analyzed it very well, and I think so too." ”

"It's just, I don't know what that son's character is?"

"I have already sent the clansmen to inquire, that Zhong Ergongzi majored in literature, but he is also proficient in martial arts, and now he is a lieutenant in the army, and he is also deeply appreciated. There were no girls waiting around Zhong Ergongzi, only a few small servants. With Zhen'er's knowledgeable and reasonable temperament, I believe that after marrying, I will be able to raise my eyebrows and respect each other like guests. ”

Fang Jinglan and the old lady carefully discussed the various advantages of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, according to the old lady's meaning, if it is really a high marriage, but the more the girl is married, the more reserved she becomes, although the second son of Zhong is set, but he is not in a hurry to make a gift, but ordered Fang Jinglan to go to lie in Tianjin Wei and explore the character of the second son of Zhong with great fanfare. The officialdom is full of people, Fang Jinglan's action immediately let Zhong Fu know, and as soon as Fang Jinglan stepped into Tianjin Wei on the front foot, he was invited by the Pingyang Hou couple on the back foot.

Fang Jinglan in front of the Pingyang Hou couple, is also not humble or arrogant, lightly vomiting things, Pingyang Hou has a good impression of the other party Jinglan, and inadvertently heard that although Fang Jinglan is an official residence of the five grades, but the Yue family is a dignified and upright Li family who commands the envoys, and the stepmother Qi is the late daughter of the second grade of the Ministry of Rites, and her mother's family is still very famous in Beijing, and Fang Jinglan is also a scholarly disciple, his father is a Jinshi in the fourth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, and the capital Yongning Bofu is also in-law with the Fang family, and the son of Yongning Boshi is still studying with the young masters of the Fang family. And the young master of the Fang family is deeply appreciated by the famous writer Taidou Hu Jin, I heard that he has passed the child's life, the township test, and he is about to participate in the autumn festival, and I believe that the front painting is unlimited. And now that Guan Fang Jing's conversation and literary brilliance are already deeply overwhelmed, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Pingyang Hou has seen Ruzhen's side before, and she has always known Mrs. Fang's personality, she is even more satisfied with Ruzhen, and during the conversation, she has treated Fang Jinglan as a family member.

Fang Jinglan came back from Tianjin Wei, just stepped into the house, and received a matchmaker sent by the Pingyang Hou Mansion to propose marriage to the Fang Mansion, and the matchmaker held a Geng paste and a transparent and turquoise jade, engraved with a lifelike eagle, with thousands of postures.

Fang Jinglan looked at the jade pendant and Geng sticker for a long time, and repaired a letter for the matchmaker to send back. After a few days, the Fang Mansion ushered in the official worship of the wife of the general of the Zhuguo State, and personally sent a dowry gift, a pair of red silk, a pair of gold flowers, two pairs of gold rings, two pairs of gold earrings, sheep, pigs, candles, incense salutes, cakes, flower pots, pomegranate flowers, etc.

As the housewife of the Fang family, Li was busy stepping forward, accepting the dowry and preparing 12 items in return.

A few days later, Fang Mansion ushered in Zhong Ergongzi and the general's wife Xu, accompanied by Fang Jinglan and Li, Ruzhen stepped forward to hold the tea, Shi Shiran retreated, and when Zhong Ergongzi left, he put a red envelope on the tea table, and then left. Li and Fang Jinglan looked at each other and smiled, like a real marriage, it was finalized.

After the two sides made a small decision, Fang Jinglan, and when he really did the ceremony, he held a big decision with the Zhong family.

After Ruzhen's marriage was decided, Mrs. Fang detained Ruzhen in the house to embroider dowry, pillowcases and other things that should be done at her daughter's house, Ruqing almost found it difficult to see her again, and even if she wanted to see her, she could only go by herself.

Fang Jinglan has always paid attention to reputation and is quiet on the surface, but after returning home, he has become more and more strict with his children.
