After hearing Erlang's words, Rong Niang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said: "Chun Ning's appearance is not worthy of Erlang? Is Sanlang confused?"

Sanlang's face turned red and he was a little annoyed, and said: "Sister clearly knows that my eldest aunt has had intentions... and has been rejected by my mother, so why bother dragging Erlang into the water..."

Although Sanlang was only fourteen years old, many people were already paying attention to his life-long events, and the one who paid the most attention was not Wang Yang, but the eldest wife of the Vice Minister's Mansion, Guo.

Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Minister's Mansion, the eldest wife Guo's identity is very embarrassing, because she comes from a poor family, and her family is just a member of the family.

She married into the Yang family. However, the eldest son of the Yang family did not survive. He passed away after remarrying for half a year, leaving behind a posthumous child, Chunning, the only daughter of the eldest son of the minister's house. His biological father died young, his mother's family was humble, and she had no relatives.

Brother, even if there is a minister and grandfather, Chunning's marriage will be difficult to handle.

Although marriage is a good way to bring together two surnames, it is difficult to choose a match from a well-matched family. Those who are willing to propose marriage are either to cling to the Yang family or to be a sidekick. How can a truly outstanding child do this?

I am willing to marry a daughter like Chunning. In the eyes of the world, although a fatherless and orphaned girl is not among the "five no-marries", she is not a blessed person and is certainly not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Yang was widowed at a young age, and her only daughter was her lifeblood. She wanted to find a satisfactory marriage for her daughter. When she was a golden hairpin, she started asking her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to help her look after her. After two or three years, she never found anything.

Suitable. I don't want to gain power and wealth, but I want to find someone whose family is simple and whose appearance is outstanding. But there are so many people competing for such a son-in-law, how can I get Chunning.

Until last year, when Wang Qinghong and his family came to Beijing, Mrs. Yang fell in love with Sanlang at first sight.

Although Sanlang is one year younger than Chunning, he is honest and steady, and is not as frivolous as the young people in the capital. He is a good boy who can see through at a glance. He is also the nephew of the Yang family, and it is common in the world for him to become a "mother-in-law" by kissing her.

.

When Wang Yang was in Beijing, Mrs. Yang mentioned this once. Wang Yang felt pity for Chunning, but her niece was her niece and her daughter-in-law was her daughter-in-law. She just declined the matter because Sanlang was young.

Guo obviously had no intention of giving up. Every time she saw Rong Niang and San Lang, she still wanted to get married.

Acting like this is a bit annoying, and with Rong Niang's temper, she has long been avoided. However, although Mrs. Yang is a bit aloof and unsociable, Chunning has good looks and is a very amiable and lovely woman. Even though Rong Niang

I agree with Wang Yang's decision, and I am also concerned about this cousin's marriage.

Because Dao Chi came to Beijing, Rong Niang thought about Dao Chi.

Even though the Taoist idiot once read with the emperor, when it comes to family background, it is just a "scholarly family". In fact, it is just a squire's family.

No matter how shortcomings Chunning has, the grandniece of the first assistant and the direct granddaughter of the minister are married off to Taoist idiots.

Saburo doesn't think so.

He has been in Beijing for more than half a year. He is not as naive about human relationships as he used to be. His biological mother's refusal to marry her mother's family was a bit snobbish, but she also loved her son.

In addition to the clan, maternal clan, and wife clan are also the most important relatives.

Clan and mother clan are not optional. The only one you can choose is the wife clan. If you choose well, you can rely on the help; if you choose poorly, you may be held back. Especially those who are determined to become officials and the wife clan.

Very important.

The shortcomings of Chunning can be traced back to the word "solitary." He has no father or brother to rely on, and no maternal family to rely on. Even if his grandfather is in the capital, he is still in his twilight years. Even if his uncles and brothers are in official positions, they are either separated from each other or are cousins.

.There is even less hope for the mother clan.

In this way, the benefit of marrying Chunning is just an opportunity to become an in-law with the Yang family. This is also the reason why well-matched families are unwilling to marry her, and only unpopular families are willing to get married.

The Wang family was originally the son-in-law of the Yang family, so naturally there was no need to "increase the marriage", so Wang Yang would refuse without hesitation.

Sanlang knew what was going on and did not agree with Rong Niang's words. He shook his head and said: "Erlang's family has only a small population and his mother's family is not rich. It is time to find a capable wife to help. This marriage is not appropriate, so my sister should not interfere with it."

"

Rong Niang raised her eyebrows and said: "Why is it inappropriate? I know that Erlang has many people watching him, and he is not worried about his marriage. But who are those people? Either they have evil intentions and like to play tricks, or they are those who have evil intentions and love to play tricks.

Thinking of using concubine girls to win over people. Among truly good families, who doesn’t cherish their feathers, who would marry their legitimate daughter to a young scholar? Only the eldest aunt is like this and loves her daughter so much that she will not choose a family. Otherwise,

It’s not a marriage, it’s a joke.”

As for the help of the wife clan, it is important to others, but is dispensable to the Daoist, because he has direct access to the inner court, and as long as he is loyal to the emperor, his future will be bright.

Sanlang still frowned and said: "Any family can do it, but it can't be the Yang family."

Rong Niang snorted coldly: "The Yang family is not your mother's family, but your enemy? This is a very appropriate marriage. The eldest aunt has found a suitable son-in-law, and Erlang has the Yang family to rely on, so he can avoid being beaten by this and that in Beijing.

It's a plan, why are you stopping me like this?"

Sanlang looked at Rong Niang and said sternly: "The Yang family is my sister and my mother's family, but not Erlang's mother's family. My maternal cousins ​​are all very ambitious people. Even my sister and I were treated by Zeng.

They regard them as "relatives from the country", let alone Erlang? You and I are still relatives of the same flesh and blood. Even if the cousins ​​are rude, they must tolerate it for the sake of their elders. Erlang is a good man,

Why should we look at their faces?"

Rong Niang was choked and hesitated: "That's not the case, is it? Even if Erlang is of lower origin, after all, he once served as the emperor's companion, so why should he be disrespectful?"

Sanlang sighed and said: "If Erlang gets married to another family, even if he is criticized privately for being of lower family status, he will get close to him with a smile on his face. If he is discussing marriage with the Yang family, in addition to his family status, he will have to include his direct descendants and concubines.

The concubine also turned her back and regarded Erlang as an evil concubine and a son-in-law. My sister also loved Erlang, so how could she bear to let Erlang fall into such an embarrassing situation. Not to mention others, even my uncle and aunt, would never nod to Erlang and Yang.

Get married at home."

Rong Niang said coquettishly: "I have good intentions too. Chuning is getting hairpins as soon as she sees it, and her eldest aunt comes here more and more often. If she loses her temper and asks her grandfather and grandmother to make the decision, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, you will still be in trouble. Look.

This way, if we can't get married, I'm afraid we will become enemies."

Sanlang looked at Rong Niang with a complicated expression, and whispered: "Does my sister really think that Erlang is a brother?"

Rong Niang trembled all over after hearing this, and gritted her teeth and said: "I just mentioned Erlang's marriage, but I don't think Erlang is a biological brother?! How can I not be sorry for him all these years? If it is Zhang San and Li Si, I don't care who he marries. I

You are such a good person, you have even done things like recruiting matchmakers to protect your fiber. In the final analysis, it is not just to save you, but you don’t appreciate it. You actually stabbed me in the heart with your words!” After that, without waiting for Saburo to reply,

Turn around and leave.

Sanlang looked at Rong Niang's back and said softly: "Why didn't you just mention Erlang directly as a clan brother when you introduced him? Instead, he was vague. In my sister's mind, is it because Erlang was born a sinner and a concubine, so she felt that he should be happy?

Do you agree to the marriage that my wife has proposed for me?"

Rong Niang stood a few steps away with her back to Sanlang and listened to these words. After a while, she turned her head and said with a cold face: "What a deep brotherhood. You are a good brother, that one is a good brother, and I am

The married sister has become someone else! A concubine is a concubine, even if she is a stepmother, she cannot erase her biological parents. How can you keep it a secret for the rest of your life?"

Sanlang looked tired, looked at Rong Niang, and said no more...

In Mrs. Gao's room, even with Gao Mengxiang accompanying her, Dao Chi couldn't sit still. It was the first time they met. Mrs. Gao was too warm, but Mrs. Yang's eyes were critical, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Gao Mengxiang only thought of Mrs. Gao as "Aiwujiwu." He stood by with a smile and echoed Mrs. Gao's compliments from time to time. Although they had only known each other for two days, in his opinion, this brother-in-law was also good and worthy of Sanlang's visit.

of praise.

Even though Dao Chi lowered his head and pretended to be shy, Mrs. Gao and Gao Mengxiang, mother and son, sang together and talked about Dao Chi's situation over a cup of tea. What kind of thirteen-year-old student was the potential of the new emperor?

He studied with him at his residence and at the Imperial College. In addition, he had various good qualities, such as loyalty, filial piety, and diligence, which earned him a good reputation. He also lamented that he was filial to his grandmother, supported the family at a young age, and it was not easy for him to work hard, etc.

This made Mrs. Yang's eyes stay on Dao Chi for a longer time.

Such a naked compliment made even Dao Chi, who was always calm, couldn't help but blush.

It was really like sitting on pins and needles. If it weren't for the fact that Rong Niang's mother-in-law and Sanlang's aunt were not in front of him, Dao Chi would have gotten up long ago. He just dealt with it patiently for the sake of those two people.

After all, he was not really fourteen years old. As he listened, he realized something was wrong, and his heart sank, and his thoughts on coping became a little less intense.

At this time, Rong Niang and San Lang came back.

Dao Chi glanced at Rong Niang and met Rong Niang's eyes. Rong Niang moved her eyes away, stepped forward to refill the tea cups for Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Yang, and said with a smile: "Mom, please praise me again, Second Master."

I'm jealous of my daughter-in-law, she's a shy brother, I'm afraid I'll be too embarrassed to sit still."

Mrs. Gao glanced at Rong Niang and saw that her eyes were red and slightly stunned. She stopped talking to Dao Chi and smiled and sent Gao Mengxiang to take the two of them to the front yard for tea.

After leaving Mrs. Gao's yard, Dao Chi was no longer in the mood to gossip. He was just thinking of finding a reason to leave when he heard Sanlang say: "Brother-in-law, I didn't meet the elders who came with me from Anlu yesterday."

, I should go to visit Yi Er today. It would be disrespectful to go late, so Er Lang and I went over first."

Gao Mengxiang stopped and said: "That's not enough time for this meal. It's the first time Erlang comes home, so it's not too late to go there after eating. I heard that you are coming today, and your sister has already ordered the kitchen to prepare it."

The banquet noodles are all dishes from the south."

Sanlang still insisted, Gao Mengxiang was really a good-tempered person, and he didn't show any displeasure. He just said: "If you are in a hurry, just go first. There are no outsiders here. We will bring Erlang over another day."

Sanlang agreed and did not enter the Yimen again to say goodbye. He asked Gao Mengxiang to plead guilty on his behalf, and then left the Gao family with the Taoist idiot.!~!
