Chapter 55: Marriage
"Old Taijun doesn't know, in the early years, when Brother Qingfeng was still alive, I met Brother Qingfeng on the field, and verbally agreed to marry Xue'er and Yuxian."
"It's a pity that Brother Qingfeng's generation of heroes unfortunately died in battle, but for the marriage of the year, although it was only a verbal agreement, Che never looked at each other in his heart, and now Xue'er has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, so he came to the door only when he returned to Beijing this time."
"In addition to visiting the old lady, the main purpose is precisely for this matter, but I don't want the old lady to have a little misunderstanding, it is Che's fault that he failed to explain the situation in time and caused such a misunderstanding."
Nangong Che explained the situation again, took the initiative to confess, and gave Bai Lao Taijun a step down.
Hearing Nangong Che's words, Old Taijun Bai's stiff face softened slightly, but his face was still a little stiff, and he tried to show a smile.
"I see, but the old man misunderstood and made a joke."
"It's also Che's fault for failing to explain the situation to the old lady in time."
Mrs. Wang and Bai Yusheng's mother and son on the side were red-faced, and they were extremely ashamed and angry in their hearts.
"By the way, I don't know if Sister-in-law Zhen can be in the house, since ancient times, the marriage has been a major event, and the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, although Brother Qingfeng is no longer there, but Sister-in-law Zhen is still there, I should discuss this matter with Sister-in-law Zhen first." Nangong Che ignored Mrs. Wang and Bai Yusheng's mother and son, who were flushed and embarrassed, and continued.
"That's right, General Yunlu wait, I'll send someone to call someone."
Old Taijun Bai was still not in a good mood at this time, but she still maintained a polite smile on the surface, and then sent Bai Feifeng to the outer mansion.
"The old lady invited me over."
Waifu, looking at Bai Feifeng Zhen, who came to invite him, showed a look of surprise on his face.
Although now with her son being admitted to the Guozijian, her status in the Wuhou Mansion has risen with the tide, and now everyone in the mansion respectfully calls her Mrs.
But in terms of the relationship with the inner house, the Zhen family has always been a clear distinction between well water and river water, and the Zhen family never goes to the inner house, and the old lady Bai and Mrs. Wang and others in the inner house will not come to her.
Unexpectedly, today Bai Feifeng suddenly came to the door and said that Old Taijun Bai invited her to the inner mansion.
And she knew that today, Nangong Che, the general of the Yunlu Mansion of the Nanguo Mansion, came to visit the mansion, and the entire Wuhou Mansion was preparing early in the morning.
In this case, Old Taijun Bai came to her to go to the inner mansion, and the reason for not thinking much must be related to Nangong Che.
When Bai Feifeng saw Zhen's expression, he immediately knew that Zhen must be guessing the specific reason, and immediately told Zhen about the affairs of the inner mansion and all the reasons with a smile.
Of course, the embarrassing thing caused by Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang mistakenly thinking that Nangong Che's marriage was for Bai Yusheng was ignored by Bai Feifeng.
"I would like to congratulate Aunt Zhen on this matter, now that Brother Xian has been admitted to the Guozijian for a young and promising career, she is about to marry the daughter of the Guogong Mansion like Miss Xue of the Nanguo Mansion, which is really a double happiness."
When Zhen heard this, he understood everything, and then smiled and politely exchanged words with Bai Feifeng, and then followed Bai Feifeng to take the maid to the inner mansion.
However, deep down, Zhen did not have any surprises about this matter.
Because she didn't think the marriage was a thing to be happy about.
She doesn't feel that her son still needs to raise his status by marrying a noble woman.
Even if his son's identity may not be comparable to the Guogong Mansion now, but in the future, Zhen believes that his son's achievements may not be lower than that of the Guogong Mansion, and there is no need to help him become a phoenix man by marrying a noble girl from the Guogong Mansion.
And for this marriage with the Nanguo Mansion, Zhen actually knows about it.
But her husband Bai Qingfeng and Nangong Che verbally agreed to this marriage, and they told Zhen about it.
Therefore, for this marriage, Zhen actually knows it in his heart.
But later, Bai Qingfeng died on the battlefield, and the situation at home plummeted, and after more than ten years, Nangong Che and the entire Nanguo Mansion did not mention this marriage at all.
Zhen naturally knew that this was because the marriage of her husband's death was no longer in the right place, and it was only a verbal agreement, so the Nanguo Mansion obviously did not intend to continue to fulfill this marriage.
And Zhen didn't mention it again.
Because she knew that being in the family was indeed an important thing for marriage, especially for these princes and magnates.
Since the Nanguo Mansion did not plan to fulfill this marriage again, she naturally would not lick her face and stick it.
It's okay for people to be poor, but they can't be poor.
But now Nangong Che suddenly came to the door to bring up the matter again, I am afraid that he took a fancy to his son who was admitted to the National Prison, and saw the benefits in it, so he started to talk about this marriage again.
Zhen quickly speculated about the matter, and then followed Bai Feifeng to the inner mansion.
I met Bai Lao Taijun and Nangong Che.
"I've seen the old lady, General Yunlu, and the three ladies."
"Sister-in-law Zhen is here..."
In the martial arts hall on the other side, Bai Yuxian was still wholeheartedly engaged in cultivation, and he didn't know the situation in the inner mansion.
I didn't get the news until I finished my cultivation in the evening, and then I was confused.
I still have a marriage contract?
The marriage partner is actually Miss Qianjin of the Guogong Mansion.
The point is that he didn't even know about it.
"Mother." When she returned home, Bai Yuxian also found her mother for the first time.
Zhen was also waiting for Bai Yuxian, and when he saw Bai Yuxian coming back, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Today's cultivation is over."
Bai Yuxian nodded.
"Childe." Zhen was followed by two girls who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, saluting to Bai Yuxian.
These two girls are the two personal maids that Zhen chose to buy before, named Xiaotao and Xiaolan, and there is now a maid named Yuzhu next to Xiangling.
Hearing this, Bai Yuxian bowed slightly to the two of them and asked, "I heard that General Yunlu of the Nanguo Mansion came to the mansion today, and it was for a marriage with a child. ”
"The child and the Nanguo Mansion are still married?"
Bai Yuxian was very surprised, he really didn't expect this.
"It's true, but it's all your father's life, and it was only a verbal agreement at the beginning, and then after your father passed away, the Nanguo Mansion never mentioned this matter again, and I never cared about this marriage anymore, but I didn't expect that now the Nanguo Mansion actually took the initiative to mention this matter..."
Zhen slowly opened his mouth and told Bai Yuxian about the specific events of the year and the causes and consequences.
"Now that the Nanguo Mansion is bringing up this marriage again, I'm afraid it depends on your admission to the Guozijian."
Bai Yuxian also suddenly understood.
This family affair is indeed true, it was made orally by his father and Nangong Che back then, but later his father died on the battlefield and only left them orphans and widows and the Nanguo Mansion suddenly became inappropriate, and the Nanguo Mansion chose to remain silent and did not mention this marriage again, probably thinking that there would be no such thing, after all, it was only a verbal agreement.
But now that Bai Yuxian has suddenly risen and been admitted to the Guozijian, showing amazing potential, the Nanguo Mansion suddenly remembered this matter again.
For the Nanguo Mansion, an ordinary son of the Bai family is naturally not qualified to be the son-in-law of his Nanguo Mansion, but if he is an unlimited young talent who is admitted to the Guozijian in the future, then it is another matter.
"Then I don't know what my mother did today, but I should get married." Bai Yuxian asked again.
"I didn't give a direct answer to this matter, I just said that I still need to discuss with you and wait for a reply in a few days." Zhen said.
"I wonder what Mother thinks?"
"My thoughts don't matter, what matters is your thoughts, if you want to agree to this marriage, then your mother will go to this family business, if you don't want to agree to this marriage, then your mother will push this marriage, but if you agree to this marriage, with the help of the Nanguo Mansion, you will enter the court in the future will be much smoother."
"Then push it, you don't need help from others, the royal power is rich, and the child will still be at your fingertips in the future."
Bai Yuxian immediately said without hesitation.
The kingship is rich and noble.
Why does he have to rely on the power of others.
The current Nanguo Mansion may still need to be climbed high for him, but if he is given some more time, in a few years, the Nanguo Mansion may be like that.
He won't get angry and resent the power of the Nanguo Mansion or something, he feels that the Nanguo Mansion looked down on him when he was poor, and now he has risen and posted it again, after all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and make choices that are beneficial to himself.
But he won't get angry and blame, but that doesn't mean he has to accept it.
You are qualified to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and look down on me, who was once useless, because this is your choice, and I have no right to intervene.
But again, I am now equally qualified to dislike you, because this is my choice, and it has nothing to do with you.
