Chapter 296: Doubts

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Yijun returned.

Both of them were a little discouraged, and they were in a hurry, and when they arrived at the pavilion, they poured a cup of tea and drank it first, which was considered to be better.

Peng Yuqi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" "Strange, it looks like I've been frightened by something. She hadn't seen Zhou Wenjun so embarrassed for at least five or six years, right? Zhou Yijun is not usually surprised, what happened to these two sisters?

"Don't mention it!" Zhou Wenjun drank another half cup of tea before he said, "I was really suffocated just now, I'm tired!" In this moment, I said more than I said in the previous month, and I almost thought I couldn't get through this hurdle! ”

Haitang personally poured another cup of tea for the Zhou sisters, Zhou Yijun smiled and thanked him, and drank half a cup before saying: "Actually, it's nothing, but we didn't expect it...... I was a little panicked for a while, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of myself. At present, the aunt has to care, and she is also worried about the second uncle. The second aunt wants to be angry, and she is also annoyed that the young ladies of the Tang family are too uneasy. We are just two passers-by who don't know the inside story, and when we are angry, we go to the elders to tell our grievances, and no one can complain about us. ”

Haitang raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi are ...... Regarding the ladies of the Tang family, what other agreements have not been made? Otherwise, if you go to talk about the scandal between Miss Tang and the son of the Jin family, how can you make them angry? If you want to be angry, it's just that Mrs. Tuesday is angry with her niece. ”

Zhou Wenjun put down the teacup and smiled at Haitang: "It's really worthy of Sister Hai, you guessed it as soon as you guessed!" Mrs. Tang took a fancy to the Hengjun brothers in the Chengenhou Mansion and wanted to recruit her son-in-law! Tete invited my second aunt to talk about the item. The second aunt has been pestering her aunt for a long time today, Tang Hui was generous in front of people before, and she looks good, and her aunt is already a little moved, but she still needs to go back to Beijing to ask her uncle, grandfather, grandmother and cousin before she can settle down. Who knew that we had complained to the second aunt in the past, so that the cousin heard it, and it would be difficult to do this family business. ”

Haitang and Peng Yuqi were surprised, and the latter exclaimed: "How can this be? Didn't the Tang family want to marry Miss Tang to your Zhenguo Mansion?! ”

Zhou Wenjun said lightly: "They want to marry their daughter into the Zhou family, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Chengenhou Mansion is also surnamed Zhou, and he has lived in the capital for many years, Zhou Hengjun is also a talent, why is it not a good match?" ”

Zhou Yijun, Peng Yuqi and Begonia are all silent.

The difference between the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion is not only in the level of the title. Chengenhou is a rich idler, his son is not a high-ranking official and eunuch, although there is a viscount in the world, and the Hou Mansion is not short of money, but in a place like the capital, it is nothing at all. The son of the prince has a lower status, but he is just the son of an ordinary nobleman. Unless he competes to gain fame and rise step by step, he will just wait for the day when he will inherit the title as a white body.

But the sons of the Zhenguo Mansion, the lowest official position is also from the Sanpin Wei Commander Tongzhi, as long as the grandchildren are old, they can be added to the border army at any time, and the worst can also start from the small flag, and after a few years of hard work in the border pass, the position will be promoted. The young children of the side branch of the Zhou family, as long as there are no mistakes, can easily rise from the fifth grade in ten years. The side branch is still like this, let alone the children and grandchildren of the prince of Zhenguo? Any girl marries them, she doesn't have to wait long, she has a fate, and her status is not ordinary.

Although there is a possibility that the Zhenguo Mansion will lose power in the future, the Chengenhou Mansion at that time is also no longer beautiful.

In the territory of Chang'an, how many big families will choose to marry their outstanding daughters to the former, but abandon the latter?

Zhou Wenjun didn't think there was anything before, but now he calmed down, but the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became. She felt sorry for her cousins in this room: "Although my grandmother prefers Tang Ruo and doesn't want to marry Tang Hui as her granddaughter-in-law according to the Tang family's wishes, but the second aunt persuaded her for a long time, and she also changed her mind a little, thinking that Tang Hui is also very good." The Tang family all felt that Tang Ruo was better than Tang Hui, and looked forward to her being able to say a noble and good family affair in Beijing, no worse than the third aunt and grandmother......

"Grandmother has never been against her mother's family, and seeing that Tang Ruo has no intention of treating my brothers, she doesn't plan to stop Tang Ruo's good future. But her old man changed her mind, and the Tang family came out like this...... They're too bullying too! Even if our two families are in-laws, the children of the Zhou family are not selected by their Tang family's daughters! They can marry whoever they want, they don't want to marry, and they will change people if they don't say hello, what kind of people do they treat us as?! ”

Peng Yuqi silently stroked her back and let her dissipate her anger: "It's okay." No matter how well the Tang family thinks, things may not be as they think. If Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi really intends to marry the daughter of the Tang family for her son, can she not greet the old lady? With this greeting, she would naturally know that Miss Tang was originally the old lady's favorite choice for granddaughter-in-law. A person like Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi who abides by etiquette and rules can still rob people from the old lady? In the end, it was just a few polite words to the Tang family, and he found an excuse to refuse the marriage. ”

Zhou Wenjun sneered: "I'm afraid that my grandmother will think about her mother's reputation, even if she is unhappy, she will not debunk this matter, but will say good things for Tang Hui and fulfill her good marriage." In this way, it's a good thing that we broke down the matter between her and Kim Sun. Not only does she no longer have to be deceived by Jin Shan, but Zhou Hengjun doesn't have to marry a wife who belongs to her in a daze, she can only sulk secretly in the future! ”

Haitang is curious about one thing: "Why did Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi say goodbye to her son in Chang'an?" Their parents have lived in the capital for many years, and wouldn't it be more convenient to marry in the capital? ”

Zhou Wenjun sighed: "Where is it so easy? The people in the capital are not as sincere as our Chang'an people. Most of the people who are on the right side of the Chengenhou Mansion have to worry about the power of the Sun family and deliberately alienate our Zhou family. And most of those people who are a little inferior are more likely to want to marry our Zhou family because they have the heart of clinging. No matter who the Chengenhou Mansion marries, there will be a lot of troubles, but the girls from Aunt Tang's family and the girls from her parents' relatives and friends are not equal in age and appearance to Zhou Hengjun. Uncle and grandfather simply asked the aunt to take the children back to Chang'an to find it, but there are many acquaintances here in Chang'an, each family knows the roots, the girls' upbringing is also good, and the villagers are all of the same heart, and they will not calculate people behind their backs, so it is more reliable to be in-laws. ”

In fact, in the list of daughters-in-law candidates in the minds of Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi, there are already two eldest daughters of the Tang family. Mrs. Tuesday helped to talk about the item again, and the former would naturally be moved. Where did she think that the Tang family would be so pitiful?

Haitang felt that something didn't make sense: "What did Mrs. Tuesday want?" Before, she persuaded the Duchess of Zhenguo to choose Miss Tang as her granddaughter-in-law, but as soon as the Duchess of Zhenguo relented, she recommended Miss Tang to Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi. Even if the Duchess of Zhenguo would not stop this matter for the sake of her mother's reputation, wouldn't she be held accountable for Mrs. Tuesday? Even if Mrs. Tuesday is for the benefit of her mother's family, Mrs. Zhenguo is also a daughter of the Tang family. She didn't take her mother-in-law seriously when she did this, right? ”

"It should be for the sake of her mother's brother's official position, right?" Zhou Yijun whispered, "I heard that she had a bad quarrel with the fourth uncle before, because there were rumors outside that the fourth uncle was not only the temporary commander of the Chang'an avant-garde, but would soon become a regular person." The second uncle's brother was busy working in vain, and she was a little unhappy, but she heard that the emperor intended to transfer people from the Northwest Frontier Army to serve in Beijing, which was a better place to go than the avant-garde of Chang'an......"
