238 Marriage
238
This topic was brought to an end. Even though the second wife was the aunt, it was not easy for the second wife to interfere in the affairs of Yulan's room. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, she changed the topic.
The three of them talked for a few words, and then Yulan asked, "I heard that the second uncle and the second aunt went to the Korean government a few days ago. Has the eldest brother's wedding date been decided?"
When this topic was mentioned, the second wife's face broke into a smile. "It's settled!" Seungjo wanted to marry the eleventh lady of the Korean government, who was the second wife's niece.
Speaking of which, the second wife and the eleventh sister’s mother still had a little disagreement. She curled her lips and said, “My third sister-in-law at first looked down on our elder brother, but it was my mother who pressured her to promote this marriage.
Marriage. This time Brother Zu came back after taking the examination for the title of Juren. My mother said to my sister-in-law, how many such young Juren can you find in Manchuria? My sister-in-law never said anything again! "
This incident was not a glorious thing at first, but after her son worked hard and helped her earn face, the second wife had nothing to hide. Now she feels quite proud when talking about it.
Yulan said: "Speaking of which, my uncle has become a scholar, and my wife must be happy!" She then asked, "When is the wedding date of the eldest brother?"
"The wedding date is set for May 18th, which will not delay Brother Zu's participation in this year's Spring Festival! He is currently busy studying and has no time to pay attention to his own wedding."
The fifth wife laughed and said, "It's not his turn to be busy with a child when it comes to getting married, but he has a second sister-in-law!"
Yulan laughed along with him: "My eldest brother is nineteen years old this year and has reached the age of getting married. It's a pity that I am pregnant with my child, so I can't attend my eldest brother's wedding!"
According to the tradition at that time, it was taboo for pregnant women to attend weddings.
The second wife smiled and said, "What's the point? When we get married, I'll ask my niece to come and see you in person!"
Yu Lan smiled and joked: "Second Aunt, you are already putting on airs before you become a mother-in-law!"
The fifth wife said: "Your second aunt is blessed. She will be relieved when her daughter-in-law gets married! It's not like me, who waits for my elder brother to get married, and there are still other people waiting. I want to hide away, but I don't want to."
You know when you will have that blessing!”
It made all three of them laugh.
Yulan said: "When the spring is over, big brother will give you a Jinshi exam and come back. That will be called double happiness!"
The second wife laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "My niece is good at talking." She looked solemn and sighed: "I have read Zu Geer's article to my husband. He said that he is not yet mature enough. If this scene continues
It’s just for practicing. So we don’t have high expectations!”
There is an insurmountable gap between being promoted to Jinshi!
Yulan comforted the second wife: "My eldest brother is still young. Look at the many Jinshis in Manchu and Dachu. They are all young people who can pass the exam at the age of thirty. Isn't it that my second uncle was thirty-two years old when he became a Jinshi?"
?You see, he is already a member of the third rank now! Even if Big Brother fails this time, there will be a next time, sooner or later he will be named on the gold list."
The second wife was also open-minded, "That's not the truth! But..." She paused and then said: "This boy Chengzong is really smart and capable! The gentleman read his article and said that what happened to him this time, if
If there is no problem, there should be no big problem in getting a Jinshi! To say the least, even if you fail in this subject, there will definitely be no problem in the next one!"
Yulan was really surprised when he heard this. After all, Chengzong's age is there. Even if he took the exam for Jieyuan before, he still failed. After all, his age is there. If he passes the examination one after another,
That is a sixteen-year-old Jinshi. After so many years since the founding of the Chu Kingdom, there are many people who have passed the Jinshi examination at this age. Each one of them later became a powerful minister with great power!
The second wife felt a little bit sour when she said this. She had raised an outstanding son, but when compared with her nephew, she immediately fell into the mud. Both the eldest man and the eldest wife are so unreliable? How did they give birth to such a reliable son?
Come? The second wife is getting more and more angry the more she thinks about it!
However, she had a good view of the overall situation and knew that Chengzong would be successful in the future and would be a help to Chengzu in the officialdom, so she didn't have any other ideas.
Of course Yulan is more concerned about Chengzong: "The marriage of the third brother..."
The second wife laughed: "Nowadays, people who come to the house to ask for marriage from the elder sister-in-law have almost crossed the threshold, but the elder sister-in-law has always rejected them. The reason is also ready. We also have a second young master who has not been engaged to be married. He will be his younger brother.
It’s not a good idea to get married before your brother!"
Yulan couldn't help but laugh, the eldest lady was in such a strange place at this time.
The second wife stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't my sister-in-law come with us to see you?"
The fifth wife pulled the second wife: "Second sister-in-law..."
The second wife said: "My aunt is not an outsider, she needs to know about this." Yulan knew from the look on her face that something must have happened to the eldest man and his wife again.
Sure enough, the second wife said: "When my fifth brother and I went out, my uncle and my sister-in-law were quarreling in the house." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and mockery in her tone.
If the old man and the old lady were not here now, she would have already encouraged the second man to separate and live alone.
Yulan also felt a headache: "What is this for?"
The second wife said: "It's not about Brother Ye's marriage. The uncle urged the sister-in-law to quickly find a match for Brother Ye, so the sister-in-law found a family for Brother Ye. She is a girl from Lin'an Houfu!" The surname of Lin'an Houfu is
Zheng, in the prince's family in the capital, it is neither too good nor too bad. It should be reasonable for a girl from Lin'an's house to inherit the family.
The fifth wife knew what she was thinking as soon as she looked at her expression, so she explained to her with a smile: "This Miss Zheng is the daughter of the third bedroom of Lin'an Marquis Mansion... The third bedroom is a commoner... This lady is also a commoner... Not only
So, Miss Zheng's father passed away five years ago, and now mother and daughter are living in the Marquis Mansion, living off their uncle!"
Yulan was a little stupid after hearing this. The concubine's father died again! Fortunately, the eldest lady could find such a girl. She had been fighting with Aunt Liu all her life and was fed up with it. Now Yuxia has entered the East Palace again and wants to
Yu Xin will be disgusted for the rest of her life. It would be weird if the eldest lady was really willing to find a good marriage for the second young master!
However, since she has chosen such a girl to carry on her business, the eldest master will definitely not let her go.
"My fifth sister-in-law and I went to Yiningju to find your wife. We originally wanted to invite her and the three sisters-in-law to come to see you, but the uncle barged in and started a quarrel with the sister-in-law." The second wife told her: "
When the uncle came in, he started yelling, saying that my sister-in-law was evil, and that such a woman dared to say that she was a righteous mother, so she was not worthy of being a legitimate mother!"
Yulan could completely imagine that the eldest man would scold him when he came in, and would not even care about the presence of his two sisters-in-law. This shows that the friendship between him and the eldest wife for so many years has completely disappeared, and what is left is probably only hatred.
The eldest lady retorted, "You don't even know what kind of virtue your son is! He was originally a concubine! He's still a white man now... Do you still want him to become the master or something?"
The eldest man used his connections to get Chengye to study in the Imperial College, but this time he failed because he was not qualified enough. Therefore, Chengye now only has the reputation of being a prison student through me. The eldest lady said that he is white and not very good.
Accurate, but not far off.
Because those who entered the Imperial College from Enyin were not from a legitimate background, even if they entered the officialdom, it would be difficult for them to make great progress, and they have never been taken seriously. He Chengzu Chengzong, step by step, from a boy to a scholar to a serious academic background
The people are not on the same level at all.
"The two of them had a big quarrel. In the end, the uncle said that he would be responsible for Chengye's marriage, and that there was no need for the sister-in-law to interfere! He slammed the door and left! The sister-in-law turned pale with anger and said she wanted to go back and lie down.
You asked us to come and see you first!"
Yu Lan was really dumbfounded when she heard this. As the saying goes, the man is the outsider and the woman is the housewife, the first person responsible for Chengye's marriage should be the eldest wife. If the eldest man does this, it is not only suspected of exceeding his authority, but also putting the eldest wife in the wrong place.
His face was stamped into the mud.
What's more, men are no better than women, so it's not that easy to go out and say goodbye.
It makes sense for the aunt-in-law to make the decision to arrange the marriage for her son. At least the conditions are unique. The mistress goes out for a long time, and the ladies from each house who are planning to arrange the marriage will also be brought out to show their talents to the ladies, so the head of the house
My mother always has a good idea of the temperament and appearance of the girls from each family.
But the masters don’t have that convenience. At least the eldest master chooses his daughter-in-law by himself. He can only ask around, but cannot meet her in person.
In fact, the eldest man also begged the second master to ask his second wife to help arrange a marriage, but the second wife refused without hesitation. If the marriage was agreed upon, it would offend the eldest wife, but if it was not agreed upon well, it would offend the eldest man.
, being caught in the middle and being blamed on both sides, the second wife is not an M, why would she do such a thankless thing.
