Chapter 357 Family Planning
Mrs. Zhang Yang had the same opinion as her husband, and she also wanted to get married to Zhennan Prince or Huayang Marquis.
These two families are both powerful and powerful vassal kings. If they can establish a relationship, they will definitely benefit a lot.
It was a pity that the eldest sons of the two families were already married and had children. Her sister Yun had to suffer some injustice if she wanted to marry. She would have to be a concubine for the young and promising prince, or choose a concubine or a collateral lineage who was not so favored.
No matter which choice was made, it was unsatisfactory, not to mention that such a marriage would face the risk of being jealous of the emperor.
Mrs. Zhang Yang looked at her daughter who lowered her head and said nothing, and asked a little tentatively: "Sister Yun, do you have someone you like? Mom thinks that the Xiao family and the Meng family are both pretty good, so why not find a chance to meet each other?"
look?"
Before Zhang Ruoyun on the side could answer, the second master Zhang Mingxu jumped out nervously: "No, no! Although the Xiao family and the Meng family are prominent, the more powerful the vassal king is, the easier it is for the emperor to be jealous! There is another person in our family.
Concubine De is in the palace. If she marries Xiao and Meng, how will my sister Fei get along with her?"
After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law frowning in displeasure, and he immediately added: "What's more, the Xiao and Meng families, one is in Lingnan and the other is in Shu. They are far away from Jinling Mountain. If anything happens to Sister Yun,
She has been wronged there, and we can't make the decision for her. It's better to find someone with a similar family background in Jinling, who can take care of her easily if anything happens."
In short, we cannot marry Xiao Meng! Let alone threaten his daughter’s status!
No matter how confused the Holy Emperor is, he is not a stupid person. How can he allow Weiyuan Houfu to have two boats?
Marquis Weiyuan, who was in the main seat, looked slightly bright, but he did not comment on the second son's statement.
In fact, he had a similar plan in his mind. In addition to the royal family, he also needed to find an ally.
The second daughter, Ruofei, has been married into the palace for many years, but no matter how hard she tries, she has not been able to give birth to a son and a half. Although she is now a concubine, it is difficult to say what her future will be like.
The emperor was mediocre in talent, lazy in government and playful, and spent more time indulging in singing and dancing than reviewing memorials. He lost half of his empire not long after he ascended the throne. Can the Weiyuan Hou Mansion really continue to rely on him?
On the other hand, the Xiao family in Lingnan and the Meng family in Shu are currently feudal lords who hold real power. If there is a real possibility of success in rebellion, marriage and cooperation with them is also a good way out.
It's just that...there is a real risk of capsizing in doing so.
Neither the emperor nor the Xiao family or the Meng family are easy to deal with. How could they not guess their wishful thinking?
If you are not careful, you may lose everything and become a victim of the struggle between multiple forces. Let alone gain the merit of being a dragon, whether the Zhang family can escape unscathed is a question.
Marquis Weiyuan sighed silently, looking at the whole family with worried and complicated eyes.
It's never easy to have both ends of the world. How should he choose to preserve the prosperity and future of the Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Zhang Yang doesn't have such long-term worries. She only values the wealth of her own house. If the second house's little bitch can enter the palace and become a queen, where will her precious daughter lose?
If she hadn't missed the draft at the wrong time, she might not be who the Empress Dowager is today!
"Ouch! It's rare for my second brother to be so considerate of our sister Yun, but these are just your guesses! I have never heard of the Holy Emperor's desire to cut down the vassal. Prince Xiao often visits the inner palace of the Forbidden Palace! Zhennan
The royal family and we are also well-matched, and I think this marriage is the best!"
Is he a good match? It sounds like he will get married to the Prince of Zhennan right away!
Zhang Mingxu stood up with an unconvinced look on his face, and opened his mouth to argue the pros and cons with his sister-in-law, but before the words came out of his mouth, the leader, Marquis Weiyuan, interrupted them in time.
"Okay! Stop arguing! This matter is related to Sister Yun's lifelong happiness, so let's ask her what she means first."
Marquis Weiyuan looked at his granddaughter with a gentle expression, and asked with concern: "Sister Yun, when you first marry, you follow your relatives, and when you marry again, what do you think? In addition to the Xiao and Meng families, there are many outstanding people in Jinling.
My son, if you have a wish, my grandfather will definitely find a way to make it happen for you."
After all, are we still going to force her to marry a second time? Isn't it that the majestic Weiyuan Marquis Mansion can't tolerate her as a widow?
As soon as he came back, he actively discussed the matter of getting married again without caring about her feelings and thoughts at all!
Zhang Ruoyun felt a little bitter in her heart, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her lowered eyes.
However, he still maintained a respectful and docile look on his face, and hesitantly responded in a low voice: "Grandpa, is Cousin Xi... how are you doing?"
The unexpected rhetorical question made everyone stunned for a while. None of the Zhang family expected that she was still thinking about Song Xi.
But that kid has become an out-and-out rebel, so how can the Hou family get married to such a person?
Although the emperor temporarily gave him the title of King with a different surname, war between the north and the south was inevitable.
They didn't lend a helping hand when the Dingbei Hou Mansion was destroyed, so Song Xi still wasn't sure how to hold grudges against them!
Mrs. Zhang Yang glared at her daughter with an angry face, "Are you still thinking about that bastard?! That's a traitor! Our Zhang family has been tied to the royal family for a long time. If we marry a Song thief, won't all our efforts be wasted? Just marry him.
What benefits can the Song family gain? That thief was not willing to marry you at all in the first place!"
Her mother's unruly words hurt Zhang Ruoyun's heart. She pursed her lips tightly and did not make any answer.
But sad tears had already filled his eyes and fell continuously from his cheeks.
The second master, Zhang Mingxu, was a little gloating about his misfortune, and said in a considerate tone: "That's not what I said, sister-in-law, Song Xi is also a prince now, and he is no worse than the King of Zhennan and the Marquis of Huayang! Since Yun
If my sister likes it, then you will fulfill her wish. You don’t want to see her crying every day and feeling depressed, right?"
In short, it was better to marry a rebel than to marry the powerful vassal king. He didn't want to be overpowered by the big family again!
Zhang Yang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and put his hands on his waist, ready to scold him for not caring about the overall situation.
The crown prince Zhang Mingke grabbed his wife and turned to look at his father on the throne, "Dad, what do you think about this matter...?"
Weiyuan Hou frowned and pondered for a long time, and a deep light flashed in his vicissitudes of life.
"If Sister Yun is interested in him, grandpa will try to fight for you."
If she marries to Zhennan Prince's Mansion or Huayang Marquis Mansion, the best result will be just the crown prince's concubine, but if she marries his grandson Song Xi, Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will get more than just a powerful grandson-in-law.
Song Xi's achievements have been seen by all the world. Such an amazing and talented northern hegemon must have a bright future.
Marquis Weiyuan had long wanted to repair the relationship between his grandfather and grandson, but he just lacked the right opportunity.
If he could persuade the emperor to marry Sister Yun to him, and he could use the marriage to resolve the past conflicts with Song Xi, the estrangement between the two families would be completely eliminated, and the status of the Hou Mansion would be raised to a higher level.
