The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 98

This matter is really not too urgent, after all, Aunt Xue's vision is not low, she can't just settle for ordinary people, and she really can't find a suitable person for a while.

Of course, this is also because Daiyu is still young, even if she gets engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, it is still a little early, so Aunt Xue naturally has time to set her sights a little higher, and pick and choose the situation of her son-in-law's family.Given the Xue family's status in the imperial merchant's family, even if they want to find it in a family of similar family status in two years, it will not be difficult.

Letters from Jinling to Beijing were sent back and forth within a month.Judging from Aunt Xue's entanglement at this moment, it is naturally difficult to find a good marriage for Daiyu with all four corners.

Although many people in Beijing still feel that marrying a merchant is a disgrace, they have to give face to this aunt who has cast her eyes on the saint for some reason.Fortunately, Xue's family is an imperial merchant, and has the status of a descendant of Ziwei's family. It can't be regarded as an ordinary merchant's family. After all, they pushed out the second son of the third family.

Too many people in the family means that the distribution of resources must be uneven. Not to mention the many sons of the old county king, there are quite a lot of grandsons from the sons.The third wife does not occupy the elders or the younger and is not regarded as being favored. This second son is the son of the third wife's stepmother, not the original wife's first wife - the third wife and the first wife have a very deep relationship, and they have made an agreement early on. The not-so-big title that Sanfang can get and most of the family's property are given to the son born by the original spouse.The stepmother's family background was not too high, even if she gave her all she could not give her son too much help, thinking about her son's future life, she couldn't care less about face, so she simply recommended herself.

Although the county mistress is still close to her family in her heart, she has been married for many years and doesn't know much about her family's affairs. In addition, it was just a whim when she mentioned it. I didn't bother to find out what was going on here, and after getting the result, I simply pushed the matter to my husband.

Although most of the time children's marriages are things that women talk about, but the county mistress is not familiar with Aunt Xue, only her husband is familiar with Xue Pan anyway.Although it is a little irregular, but it can only be left to the men. The so-called parents' orders also say that the elder brother is the father.

No matter when, royal things can always become extraordinarily noble.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei was able to attract a large number of talented people to three parts of the world with the background of a so-called Zhongshan King Jing only by relying on the name of a so-called shoemaker. That is still a completely unverifiable relationship with the royal family after hundreds of years. , now that the royal family has only been founded for a hundred years, no matter which clan is actually not far away in blood, plus the royal surname of this dynasty is Tu, which is not a very common surname, and it sounds detached from the very beginning.

Xue Pan is an all-powerful Uncle Xue outside, but he is still a filial son and brother at home, he dare not be special about his sister's affairs, Aunt Xue has to make the decision.

Aunt Xue knows a little bit about the clan, so she naturally knows that the clan is different from the clan, but if she is still the daughter of the royal family, she may be able to divide the clan into three or six grades according to the rank and distance of the title. Now the Xue family is a merchant It is also far away in Jinling, so naturally any one seems unattainable.

Besides, Aunt Xue is also a shrewd person, so she was a little puzzled about the origin of this marriage. When he asked Xue Pan, he only said that it was the matchmaker secured by the wife of the guest's family who lived at home for a while in such and such a year.

It's not that Aunt Xue didn't know what the guest came from back then. Hearing Xue Pan's words, she naturally knew that Xue Pan had already taken over the hidden power of the Xue family. Thinking about the mediator's wife, she guessed Probably because she knew about it, she couldn't just let Daiyu be wronged.In addition, the name of the clan is really attractive. The old county king of the county owner's natal family is still alive. His name is quite respectable.

At least it sounds more decent than Baoqin's marriage.

To be honest, Aunt Xue didn't really have the slightest malice towards Baoqin, she just thought that the status of the eldest room is always higher than that of the second room. Since Baoqin can marry into an official family, she can't let Daiyu's status be inferior to Baoqin's. .

At this moment, a good marriage of the clan came out in vain, and I really couldn't help Aunt Xue not being tempted.

It just so happened that Daiyu was still a few years old before she could get married, so there was no need for an immediate reply to this marriage.A good daughter from a rich family is always sought after by a family of hundreds of women. Even if I wish it in my heart, I have to hold back for a while before it becomes precious. This world just allows Aunt Xue to send a letter to Beijing to ask the Wang family about the quality of this marriage. .

----split line----

It's no different than Jia's family, who always live in seclusion and seem to be isolated from the world.Wang Ziteng is indeed a capable and respectable figure among generals, and his wife is naturally very respectable among the noble ladies in the capital, so the news is naturally very well-informed.

Don't look at the name of the king of the county, but just looking at the name of the second son of the third house, you know that this is definitely just an ordinary clan, and there is not much dignity except for the surname-the title of the king of the county has its own title. The eldest son of the eldest son inherited, even if the county king begged for grace to bestow the remaining sons with a minor title on his deathbed, the third son would have his own eldest son and grandson from his original spouse, and he would not be able to turn to the son of the step-wife.

If someone talks about such a marriage to her precious daughter, Mrs. Wang Ziteng must definitely get rid of this person, but if it is about talking about marriage to the sister-in-law who married into Xue's family, it is not enough. Worse.

Of the two younger sisters, Wang Ziteng is naturally closer to Mrs. Wang who is the same mother's descendant, but in the eyes of Mrs. Wang Ziteng, it is undoubtedly more comfortable to get along with the concubine Aunt Xue.After all, Mrs. Wang is always shrouded in the halo of the Duke's Mansion, and she is a bit arrogant. Even when facing her natal sister-in-law, she can put on a bit of airs as the head of the Duke's Mansion. When Aunt Xue gets along with her sisters-in-law It's more about putting yourself in a low place, always holding her carefully and following her natal sisters-in-law, which is naturally more pleasing.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng can still manage her husband without giving birth to a son. There is always something remarkable in her life.Even though Mrs. Wang was so picky about Yuanchun's marriage that Mrs. Wang Ziteng was very dissatisfied, after all, she did her best in Yuanchun's affairs. Now that Aunt Xue only asks about a small matter, Mrs. Wang Ziteng is naturally not unsatisfied.

After notifying Wang Ziteng, she also specially contacted the family for a while, and then wrote back to explain the family's affairs to Aunt Xue clearly.

As for whether the family will regret it because Aunt Xue is not diligent enough...

The old county king is indeed close to the Holy One, otherwise he would not be able to raise the leftover pearls of the sea for the Holy One, but no matter how much resources he has, his family is not enough to share with so many descendants, except for a few of the eldest son's family At any rate, the son also received some errands, and the rest of the people were mostly at home to eat the clan's offerings and the foundation of the family division, and they didn't have much to do.However, this dynasty has not been passed down for a long time, and the clan has not reached the point where it can't survive just relying on offerings and ancestral property.Therefore, when the county head was a matchmaker, many people still thought about the so-called saying that the merchants had a lower status, and would rather save face, but the wife of the third room gritted her teeth and agreed.

Although I feel that it is a pity to let go of such a large bride's dowry for no reason, it does not prevent people from the other houses from laughing at Sanfang's loss of face-- Sanfang is not monolithic, at least the one son and three daughters left by the original spouse are safe. It wasn't that he liked the stepwife very much, and he couldn't help complaining that his wife had made them lose face, but the master of the third bedroom knew that he was a little mean to the stepwife, so he didn't do anything to make things worse.

Since the third wife is willing to have this kind of marriage, she is not a person who wants to save face and suffer. Originally, she thought that this marriage was just to ensure that the only son would be a rich and idle person, and her attitude was just mediocre.But when Mrs. Wang Ziteng came to inquire about the news intentionally or unintentionally, she was really happy to know that the Xue family was originally married to the Wang family.

Aunt Xue has not returned to the capital for 20 years since her marriage, and the Xue family has not been active in the capital all year round. Even those who know that a girl from the Wang family married to Jinling may not be able to immediately think of the Xue family. Royal relationship.Although the sisters of the Xue family are only Wang Ziteng's nieces, and their relationship is not very close, but just looking at Mrs. Wang Ziteng's running around for her niece, she knows that Wang Ziteng may not take this niece seriously.

Originally, I thought that this daughter-in-law was just from a wealthy family with a generous dowry, but now she has a very decent in-law as a gift, which is very affordable... Even the other couples who despised the merchant's disgrace at the beginning are also at the moment. It is inevitable that the eyes are hot, let alone the third-bedroom wife who is not very demanding.

It's also because the old county king is still alive. After all, the people in the few houses dare not tear their faces to earn money, otherwise it is inevitable that other people will miss this marriage. At that time, the one who should be courteous will have to become the third wife. Naturally, I only feel that this is the reserve that a woman's family should have.

After all, my family knows their own family affairs, and the life of the clan is not much better than that of ordinary people. After they have decided not to be so-called decent, the marriage of the Xue family is considered the best.

——Especially the old county king knew that his daughter and son-in-law had some abilities behind them. Apart from the eldest son who was married and the only son who was still young in the fifth house, the old county king didn't have any other grandchildren he favored, so naturally he didn't want to make extra troubles because of things like changing people midway.
