The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 140 Two

At first, Wang Xifeng thought that the troubles before Tanchun were moaning for no reason—the marriages of concubines are always selected by thousands of people, so naturally they have to start looking for them early, while girls born from concubines usually wait until the fifteenth or sixteenth year. Just find a random family and promise to go out. If you want to be a concubine, you may be able to climb a little higher. If you want to be a regular wife, you must marry a low-level or a concubine. This is actually the marriage mode of most people nowadays, unless Either this concubine girl is too good or there is only one girl in the family, otherwise there would be no other possibilities.

Yingchun was more than 15 years old when she got engaged, so she was not too early to get engaged.However, Daiyu Xiangyun is the eldest daughter of a legitimate son, and it is expected that she found her lover early. As for Tanchun... she is really in a hurry.

But not long after, Wang Xifeng found out that Tanchun didn't hate marrying because of her shamelessness, but that she really had a long-term perspective.

Sister Qiao's age can be said to be too old or too young, although she has a cousin Jia Lan among her peers, but because of Li Wan's determination to let her son take the Chinese exam, and Lan Geer is a boy after all. I'm not in a hurry to get married, and I'm actually not in a hurry to get married for a while. In this generation, Sister Qiao was the first to think about marriage.

Sister Qiao is Wang Xifeng's first child, and besides, Sister Feng is not without a son, so she always cares about her biological daughter very much, and she has been thinking about finding a good marriage for her for a long time.

Wang Xifeng herself has no literacy at all, at most she can only know some commonly used characters, but Qiaojieer and Daiyu have studied for a long time, but they are really Zhong Lingyu. According to Jia Zhu, who is a biological father, Qiaojie Er Zhihui is really better than Yuan Chun.

Jia Zhu only officially entered the official career when Qiao Jieer was three or four years old. When Wang Xifeng started looking for marriage when Qiao Jieer was twelve or thirteen years old, Jia Zhu was steadily promoted to the official position from the fifth rank. Will be good and Jia Zheng level.According to the so-called rule that a son does not surpass his father, Jia Zhu will have to resign after two years at the latest after Jia Zhu's term expires, otherwise Jia Zhu will definitely not be able to continue to be promoted.

Jia Zheng had no opinion on this point.Although he has various deficiencies, even to the point of being a little prudish because of his love of face, he is not a person who has too much desire for power, and it is not clear that he has no talent in being an official. of.When he delayed his son's future because of his name before, he was not without sadness, and it would not be unbearable if he resigned to make way for his son now.

Originally, Jia Zheng planned to resign when Jia Zhu was promoted to the fifth rank, but Jia's mother considered that Jia Baoyu's marriage had not yet been settled, even if Jia Zheng's official position was actually not high, it was better than resigning formally. Became Bai Ding, but took this matter as a pressure and did not allow Jia Zheng to resign.

Although Wang Xifeng can be regarded as Jia Baoyu's cousin, but compared to the future of her husband and children, her uncle is still an outsider, so why should she be accommodated.

If it's just like this, it's all right. After all, the probability of Jia Zhu's promotion in the past two years is not high. After all, he has to wait until the term of office expires before he can move up a step logically. Although Jia's mother's behavior makes Wang Xifeng feel unhappy. Not too much.

But if Jia's mother wanted to delay sister Qiao's marriage because Jia Baoyu's marriage had not been settled, it would be very bad for Wang Xifeng.

The weakness of the nobles is not a problem of the Rongguo family. Under such circumstances, Jia Zhu, who was born as a tribute and has a smooth career, is undoubtedly a favorite in the eyes of many people, even if Jia Zhu is related to Jia Zheng's name. There are still many shackles, and many people are still interested in his children.

Especially for sister Qiao as a girl, as long as Jia Zhu is capable, she will not be inconvenient because of her grandfather's name taboo, and many people are quite interested in her.

But Jia Zhu thought that although his family had a noble name, in fact, his family had no title to inherit, so there was no need to marry a noble family.What's more, the world is peaceful now, and it is the general trend to switch from martial arts to literary, so I deliberately leave the marriage of my children to scholars.Although Wang Xifeng didn't have much knowledge, but because she didn't want her son to practice martial arts hard, she took her husband's decision very seriously.And the brothers who have always been scholars always pay attention to taking one or two exams before considering the issue of starting a family. Most likely they will not get engaged too early. Therefore, after Wang Xifeng heard Jia Zhu's words, she was not in a hurry about her daughter's marriage. There is no plan to find a son-in-law in Xungui at all.

But this doesn't mean that when Jia's mother refuses other people's family with the excuse of "Baoyu has not yet decided to be an uncle, and my sister is still young" and wants to tell Qiaojie about her, Wang Xifeng can Accepted without hesitation and gratefully.

The order of seniority in marriage has always been the rule that people of the same generation need to pay attention to. If it is said that Jia Lan is not married, so Qiao sister and son are not good, that's all. In fact, the sisters don't need to pay too much attention to this order of marriage. After all, the two households in Rongguo Mansion have not yet separated, so it is reasonable to count them together at this moment.But now Jia's mother uses Baoyu's uncle as an excuse, and says that Jia Baoyu is a few years older than Qiao's son but has not yet engaged... Wang Xifeng is inevitably outraged.

There is no reason why the elders can't talk about relatives if they don't marry the juniors. After all, everyone has many children in their families, and it is not uncommon for the elders to be older.Just take the example of Jia's family. In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong, who is a nephew, has been married to the Qin family for many years, and Xichun, who is a direct aunt, is not yet old enough to talk about marriage.Even Lin Daiyu's husband's family, Lin Daiyu, as the fourth wife, has not yet entered the family, and the grandson of her husband's parents-in-law has already ordered a baby kiss.

Really, even if Jia Baoyu is actually a few years older than Sister Qiao, Jia's mother's argument is completely untenable.Moreover, Jia Baoyu's marriage could not be settled because of Jia's mother's high standards and strict requirements. Now it seems that there is no clue at all. If Jia Baoyu is used as an excuse to suppress the marriage of other children in the family, I think I will know I'm afraid the rest of the family will be delayed.

Fortunately, even though Mother Jia doted on Jia Baoyu a little too much, there were always other sensible people in the family.Even Mrs. Wang, as Jia Baoyu's mother, can understand how she should choose between the two sons at this time - the youngest son seems to have been raised by her mother-in-law, but the eldest son is being hindered by many obstacles. Zhong still made a way for himself.

From this point of view, it is self-evident how Mrs. Wang should choose. Even if she still does not feel sorry for Jia Baoyu, her own son, she does not think it is appropriate for Jia Baoyu's marriage to delay the marriage of Jia Zhu's eldest daughter. If it is really caused by Jia's mother's troubles until the eldest son and daughter-in-law are divorced, even if she only looks at the etiquette and rules, she, as a mother, will not worry about their unfilial piety in the future, but as the first Baoyu, can there be any good? Have you had a good time?

Although Mrs. Wang's brain circuit is very clear many times, but there are always times when she doesn't lose her mind, and her attitude towards this matter is at least okay.Mrs. Wang's way of dealing with this was simple and rude. Since Jia's mother always talked about the so-called orderly seniority, and Tanchun had been jumping up and down for a while, she simply bypassed Baoyu and directly engaged Tanchun. Hit Jia Mu in the face.

The girls in this family really want to follow the orderly rules of the elders and the younger ones. It is only a Tanchun. If even her marriage is settled, Jia's mother will have no reason to use Baoyu's marriage as an excuse. up.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Mrs. Wang to pay more attention to Tanchun's marriage. At most, she told the matter to the Wang family, so that the Wang family found six or seven generals under Wang Ziteng's hands. It’s enough that the junior officials of the first rank will marry Tanchun to the past—don’t think that the sixth and seventh ranks sound decent, as if Tanchun can get a set of phoenix crowns and xiapei once he marries, but in fact, he is a military general of the sixth and seventh ranks. It's really nothing, even the decent big girls in the Wang family can get a similar marriage, so Mrs. Wang is really just sending Tanchun away casually, and relying on this incident to successfully let Jia Mother turned her anger on Tanchun.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Wang couldn't belittle her own son for the sake of the concubine, so this matter could only be calculated by Tanchun himself.Before Tanchun had time to rejoice that he had a lifetime, he was disgusted by Jia's mother.When Yingchun came out of the cabinet, other than the routine 1 taels of silver, the rest of the family, including Jia Mu, more or less gave some cosmetics for the right, but when I came to Tanchun, there was nothing, just dry As a routine, Wang Xifeng was asked to prepare a dowry, and he didn't even give the 1 taels in full.

Fortunately, Daiyu's wedding date was set a little later, and Tanchun was a month younger than Daiyu. Although Mrs. Wang wanted to settle this matter sooner, she couldn't give Daiyu a favor because of the Chang family's face. Yu is ugly, so he didn't hastily send Tanchun out of the house, and booked a good day closest to Daiyu's wedding date, so he would stay at home for Tanchun's 16th birthday, which saved her some face.

Although women's marriages are mostly arranged early, the time from engagement to marriage is not certain. Generally speaking, the longer this time is delayed and the longer the girl is kept, the more rare the girl is at home.Although there was a reason for Tanchun's incident, at least she was relieved to save Tanchun the only face she had when the dowry was not satisfactory.
