Chapter 305: Old Relatives

Haijiao didn't know about the marriage between the Zhou and Tang families, and was quite surprised.

He didn't understand why the Tang family made such a fuss. His family has two daughters, if he really intends to marry the Zhenguo Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion, it is a big deal that the two daughters will marry each family, why do you want to engage in a farce of one daughter and two marriages? Even if the Duchess of Zhenguo did not explicitly agree to the marriage, there was no need for the Tang family to propose to Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi so soon, right? Isn't the latter about to leave Chang'an, so can't he spend more time and talk slowly? At least let the Duchess of Zhenguo know? are all the daughters of the Tang family who married into the Zhenguo Mansion, and Mrs. Tuesday can't be too indifferent to her mother-in-law, right?!

Now Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi is also very angry, and she will never feel that the Tang family is sincere. And even if the matter is not revealed by Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Yijun's sisters, Mrs. Tuesday will not be able to keep it a secret for a few days. Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi is obviously very cautious about her children's family affairs, and it is impossible to make a marriage contract for her eldest son on the same day. Once she heard the news that Tang Hui was supposed to marry into the Zhenguo Mansion afterwards, she would definitely hate Mrs. Tuesday for putting herself in an embarrassing situation, how could she agree to the marriage?

Even if there is no such thing as Jin Shan, Tang Hui's marriage is manipulated like this by the elders, and her reputation will inevitably be affected in the future. What good family can she marry in Chang'an City? Mrs. Tuesday seems to love and value her niece very much, how dare she do such a thing that will deceive people for a lifetime?!

Haijiao sighed a few times about this, and then didn't pay attention to it anymore. What he cares about is the powerful position of the Zhou family in Chang'an, and as for the emotional disputes between the children of the Zhou, Tang, Peng, and Jin families, it is just a fun thing for him. It's also good to listen to it once in a while and relax your mind.

Haitang attaches more importance to the affairs of the Tang family. She felt that this matter was obviously strange, and she couldn't understand Mrs. Tuesday's thoughts: "Does she have any dissatisfaction with the few young sons of the Zhenguo Mansion?" Why did you suddenly start the idea of the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion again? Is he better than the other cousins? ”

Haijiao followed Zhou Yijun to the school field today, and met several young children of Chang'an Jiangmen, and also met Zhou Hengjun of Chengenhou Mansion. In his opinion, Zhou Hengjun is not much stronger than his cousins in the Zhenguo Mansion, they are all the same spiritual teenagers with good looks and both civil and military skills, and he may be a little worse in terms of force value. Probably because the capital is not as martial as Chang'an, and he still has to devote part of his energy to studying, which makes people feel more gentle.

And Zhou Yijun, the new friend of Haijiao, can be called a leader among his peers and cousins in the Zhenguo Mansion, but he is still young, not strong enough, and has no experience in guarding the border and fighting. But if you talk about the level of the art of war and cavalry archery, he is better than the sons of General Zhou, General Tuesday and General Wednesday. Many people believe that he will definitely have a great future in the future.

General Friday's sons are all still young, except for them, the other young masters of the Zhenguo Mansion are all young and talented, each of them is better than Zhou Hengjun, at most, his reading performance is slightly worse, and his personality is not so stable.

In Haijiao's view, there are family members in Chang'an who serve in the border army, and if they want to choose a future husband for their daughter, it is impossible to give up the few young masters of the Zhenguo Mansion, but instead look at the eldest grandson of the Chengenhou Mansion. If the Tang family wants to use their children's affairs as a springboard to enter Beijing, and his family also has a second daughter, Tang Ruo, why not consider letting Tang Ruo marry the Chengenhou Mansion?

The Duchess of Zhenguo wanted Tang Ruo to be her granddaughter-in-law, but the Tang family insisted on refusing, so they had to recommend Tang Hui. But when the Duchess of Zhenguo intended to accept Tang Hui, the Tang family suddenly wanted to marry Tang Hui to the Hou Mansion of Chengen. How could they have a Tang Hui scourge? What is Tang Ruo used for? The Zhou and Tang families are two generations of in-laws, and it's really ugly to make such a scene.

Haijiao only regrets one thing: "When I came to Chang'an in my last life, I only paid attention to the news of the Zhou family, and I didn't pay much attention to other famous families, and I don't know how the Tang family handled this matter at that time." ”

Haitang thought for a while: "In his previous life, Du Boqin successfully concealed his secrets and made steady progress, and it is estimated that Du Qi did not return to Chang'an to report to the Zhenguo Mansion at that time. Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi should not have sent Du Qi back, but it is impossible to say whether she sent the Wu family over. But...... At this time in his last life, not long after the general had an accident on Wednesday, Du Boqin was preparing to assassinate the young children of the generals in the city, and it is estimated that Chang'an is not peaceful, and the Zhenguo Mansion or the Tang family may not have the leisure to discuss relatives at this time, right? When the matter calms down, it will be almost time for the Queen Mother's side, and then it will be the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan who has an accident and implicates General Zhou......"

Haijiao thought for a moment: "I vaguely remember hearing about it...... Among the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, it seems that someone married his daughter into a relative's family in the capital, it should be the Zhang family, right? That was before the death of Zhen Guogong, the family seemed to have competed with Zhen Guogong for the handsome seal, but it didn't work out, and his daughter died before he lived a few years, leaving the Zhang family with a sick and wilting son. If it was the daughter of the Tang family, then neither Tang Hui nor Tang Ruo had a good result, and the Tang family's calculations fell through after all. After Sun Yonglu took charge of the Northwest Frontier Army, there was no surname Tang among several famous powerful generals in the Northwest, which shows that his family did not get what he wanted, and it is likely to be declining day by day. ”

It's a pity that Haijiao can't remember these things clearly, and he doesn't even remember the general's surname, and the little information he has now is of no use at all. Even if the Tang family has different intentions, the Sun family's arrangements in Chang'an have fallen through now, the Zhou family still holds the power of the border army, and even if the Tang family wants to enter Beijing again, they will not act rashly and have a gap with the Zhou family.

At present, the Tang family is already working hard enough to solve the scandal between Tang Hui and Jin Shan, and then deal with the relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion, and how much effort is left to make a bad idea?

Haitang was a little curious: "Who is the Zhang family?" His family is also a relative? ”

Haijiao nodded: "The Zhang family is an old relative, the queen of Emperor Yongchang is the Zhang family, and when the first emperor arrived, his family produced another concubine Zhang De, who gave birth to King An, and King Ji was the favored prince with the highest call for succession, but he was finally defeated by Emperor Deguang." His family was probably unwilling, and sent another daughter into the palace, which was Concubine Zhang Gong. It's a pity that Concubine Zhang Gong only gave birth to two princesses, and she fell out of favor very early, and she could only look at Sun Guifei's face in the palace. ”

In the harem of Emperor Deguang in his later years, Concubine Sun Guifei and Concubine Xu Xian fought fiercely, and Lu Zhaorong, the biological mother of King Ji's son, secretly stirred up, but there was nothing to do with Concubine Zhang Gong. She lived peacefully in the palace until she died of old age, a few years longer than Emperor Deguang. The two princesses she gave birth to, one married back to the Zhang family, and the other married the son of an old nobleman, who were also plain.

The Zhang family used to be infinitely beautiful, and there were several generations of concubines in succession, all of whom had royal blood, but they never really became the top magnates, and they have always been just relatives on the edge of the elite circle, which shows that nepotism does not necessarily mean that it will help the family rise. His family never bothered to cultivate their sons, but instead taught many outstanding daughters, and they were destined to have an unstable foundation if they married everywhere.

Haijiao has a deep memory of his family, because the head of his family married the orphan daughter of his brother's family to Jin Wu, the eldest grandson of the second room of the Jin family, and became in-laws with Empress Dowager Xu and Xinjun in disguise. However, although this girl was very good, she failed to stop the second room of the Jin family from dying, and in the end she could only be driven out of the capital with her husband.

It is rumored that she wanted to take her son and leave, but she was tightly entangled by the second room of the Jin family as a life-saving rope, and she could not get the support of the Zhang family, so she could only leave with hatred.

If the daughter of the Tang family marries into such a family, the fate of her mother's family after defeat can be imagined.
