Speaking of Mrs. Gui's bent on marrying her daughter to the most valued grandchild of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhou Wenjun also had a headache.

She doesn't understand why there are people in the world who are arrogant and rude, look down on people, and at the same time force other people's families to marry her daughter, and they are saying that the Zhou family married her daughter as a daughter-in-law, which is to take advantage of a big advantage, and the benefits in the future will be great.

Wu Qiong's identity as the granddaughter of the Wu family is good, but the Wu family has been in decline for a long time, and getting married is not a advantage, and it may not be beneficial in the future.

Mrs. Gui refers to the support of the late born of Wu Men, then the Zhou family has helped the late born of Wu Men who was exiled to the northwest for many years, and they already have their gratitude, and they can't marry another daughter-in-law surnamed Wu to fight for it.

As for the rest, although Duke Wu Wen'an was posthumously sealed by the emperor, the fire in Wu Mansion is still unsolved, and the mansion of Wu Mansion has never been rebuilt, and it is unknown who the remaining property of the Wu family belongs to. The three survivors of the Wu family first hid in the Cining Palace for a few years, and then went out of the palace to hide in the Chengenhou Mansion for a few years, never daring to walk in front of people openly, in addition to the items taken away from the home, the only thing they could have was the property given by the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Chengenhou couple. Wu Qiong is married, I am afraid that the Zhou family will have to prepare the dowry. If the children of the Zhou family marry her, who will they take advantage of?

If Mrs. Gui thinks that Wu Ke will be very promising in the future, and his sister's husband's family can follow suit, then Zhou Wenjun is even more incomprehensible. Mrs. Gui kept suppressing and insulting Wu Ke, and she didn't care about his studies, and on the other hand, she thought that he would be successful sooner or later, where did she get the confidence? Could it be that she thinks that the grandson of the former national abbot Wu Wen'an does not need to study hard, and he can live a rich and prosperous life just by virtue of his identity as a son of a national relative? Wu and Gui are both scholarly families who attach importance to the imperial examination. If Mrs. Gui really thinks so, I don't know what the ancestors of the two families will be feeling.

If the Wu family wants to revitalize the family, it depends on when the emperor can really give the Wu family grace, so that they can move back to their own homes and live openly, not only to promote the old life of the Wu family, but also to fight for Wu Ke himself. If he can be admitted to the Jinshi and can achieve something in the officialdom, he can be regarded as really supporting the Wu family.

How many years will it have to be?

Mrs. Gui now refuses to even nod her head when Wu Ke is studying with her apprentice, but she dares to draw cakes with things that I don't know if I can achieve after many years, forcing the Zhou family to marry her daughter.

In fact, the Zhou family doesn't care about the current situation of the Wu family, and they also intend to help them revitalize the family, and they don't exclude marriage, but the premise is that this family business is consensual, not the woman designated a candidate, and the other party is not happy, so they have to force it. This is not what the Wu family, who is vulnerable and can't do without the help of the Zhou family, should do. Even if the Wu family has never had an accident, it is still the beautiful Guozhang Mansion and Shangshu Family, and the marriage between the two families is not this rule.

Zhou Wenjun complained to Haitang in private, but he really couldn't figure out what Mrs. Gui was thinking in her head?

Haitang also thinks that this matter is unreasonable, is there something that Mrs. Gui doesn't know about it? For example, some palace secrets, like she knew who killed the six princes, but refused to name them?

Zhou Wenjun scoffed at this conjecture: "What palace secrets are there that the Queen Mother didn't tell us about her family, but let Mrs. Gui know?" If it refers to the cause of death of the six princes, as long as it is not done by the Queen Mother, what does it have to do with us? Moreover, this kind of secret news will only bring disaster, not wealth. She used it to threaten our family, saying that the Wu family would regain its wealth because of this? She might as well hope that she can clear the suspicion of killing the six princes as soon as possible, so that the emperor can nod and allow their family to return to the capital openly! ”

Haitang smiled: "I'm referring to similar secrets, not really referring to the cause of death of the six princes. After all, she has lived in the palace for many years, and Cining Palace is so big, no secrets may be able to hide from her. Maybe she thinks that such a secret can really bring her wealth? You also say that her thoughts are strange and incomprehensible. She just had some whimsical idea, and it was normal. ”

"That's right." Zhou Wenjun thought for a while, "The elders also asked her about her experience in the palace, she always looked mysterious, half of her words were left and half were left, and she deliberately hung people's appetites. I don't want to ask her for any secrets, she likes to talk about it. If I really want to know, I can go and ask the fourth aunt. After the fourth aunt enters Beijing with the fourth uncle, she will definitely enter the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, what can't be inquired about at that time? ”

After all, the Zhou family is the queen mother's mother's house, and there is a stronghold of the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital, and the stronghold of the general's house can be added soon, and this kind of communication is still very convenient.

Haitang felt that if Zhou Wenjun could really find out from the Empress Dowager Zhou, why Mrs. Gui was so arrogant and confident, maybe after Xie Wenzai accepted Wu Ke as a student in the future, there would be a way to avoid Mrs. Gui coming to make trouble.

Haitang didn't believe that Mrs. Gui really had anything to rely on. If she had, how could she be silent in her previous life? In this life, I will not be forced to leave the capital and live in Chang'an. But there are some things that she may think are confidence, but in fact they are the bane. In my previous life, Haijiao had never heard of the Wu family, perhaps it was the consequence of some banes, so I had to be careful.

Haitang listened to Zhou Wenjun's words of complaining for a long time, Zhou Wenjun's mood finally improved a lot, and there was a smile on his face.

She looked back and forth, left and right, and saw that there was no one nearby, so she leaned into Haitang's ear and whispered: "Let me tell you a secret, in fact, there are people in our clan who are willing to propose to Wu Qiong, and the man is also a young talent, but Mrs. Gui dislikes the lintel of the house is not prominent enough, and said a lot of critical and disgusting words, which makes people angry and runs away!" ”

Begonia raised her eyebrows: "Who is it?" I didn't hear the wind at all. ”

"Of course you won't hear the wind." Zhou Wenjun glanced at her, "What you are most familiar with is our long room and third room, where have you dealt with the people in the sixth room?" ”

The Zhou family has six rooms? Isn't that Zhou Sujun's house?

Haitang hurriedly asked: "Which son is the sixth room?" I remember that his grandson is already married, right? When I ate New Year's wine last time, someone mentioned it. ”

Zhou Wenjun told her: "It's Brother Su Jun, the second brother of the sixth room." He is almost eighteen years old, and he has always refused to say goodbye. His grandmother was so anxious that she decided to cut it first. When the six-room uncle and grandmother were unmarried in the past, they were close friends with the old aunt, and it is said that the two made an appointment to be the sons and daughters! It's a pity that the old lady married into the capital and never met her again. These children can't be married in one generation, and it's the same for grandchildren to get married. Uncle and grandmother Liufang came to the door excitedly to propose, but was splashed with a basin of cold water by Mrs. Gui, and she was so angry that she was trembling when she left.

Mrs. Gui said a lot of ugly things, and she didn't even take her mother-in-law's words to heart, she had to marry Wu Qiong to Zhou Yijun, and she didn't look down on the people from the side branches at all. My grandmother comforted my uncle and grandmother for a long time, and then Brother Su Jun personally came to pick her up the old man, saying that he had a sweetheart, and he would come to the door to propose marriage in a few days. ”

In fact, Zhou Wenjun felt that what Zhou Sujun said was just an excuse to comfort his grandmother, and it should not be taken seriously. But as long as Uncle Liufang's grandmother will not be angry and ruined, he doesn't care about anything. If he really can't find a "sweetheart" in the future, the Duchess of Zhenguo is still happy to introduce him to one.

Haitang looked at Zhou Wenjun silently, and stopped talking.

Are the children of the Zhou family so sincere? Several young people discussed the marriage, Tang Meng told his father and sister at home, Haijiao told his little sister, Zhou Yijun only notified Zhenguo and his wife and Mrs. Tuesday, Zhou Sujun didn't even tell his grandmother?!

They're really not afraid of making trouble!

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve everyone~~~ New Year's greetings to all readers~~~ Year of the Dragon~~~~
