As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

With such a feudal dignified face, Hua Manlou probably shed tears when he saw it.

But the good times didn't last long, soon there was a sound of hurried footsteps, Duke Ying opened his eyes impatiently: "Who's here?"

After asking such a question casually, he couldn't help turning over from the rocking chair, and said with an apologetic smile: "Why did Madam come back so soon? Didn't you go to the theater?"

Mrs. Ying Guogong did not answer, but glanced around coldly, and said indifferently: "Let's all go down."

"Yes."

The two concubines and the musicians didn't dare to breathe, and quickly left the flower hall.

"Ma'am, is this?" Ying Guogong was a little nervous.

After everyone walked away, Ying Guogong's wife yelled angrily: "Old man, you still have the face to listen to music and have fun here, and you don't care about your daughter's important affairs?"

Ying Guogong hurriedly said: "Why don't you care? A few days ago, it wasn't that, so I did all the things I was waiting for. If people found out, Lao Wen would have to turn against Weifu if he couldn't say it... Cough, in short, the situation Nothing worse?"

It's true, the source of the rumors about Wenliangkefu in the past is here.

But Ying Guogong's wife was angry: "It's not worse? That kid from the Hua family is going to be engaged to the Wen family soon, so it's not worse?"

Duke Ying asked in surprise, "Where did this news come from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Prince Ningguo's mansion! His daughter-in-law personally secured the matchmaker. She said it was the Queen's Empress in the palace!" Ying Guogong's wife trembled with anger before she could finish her sentence: "You old man, you don't do business all day long. It's good now, the betrothal gift has been given away! If the girl can't get married, I... I will fight with you old bastard!"

There are still frequent contacts between the nobles. For example, Mrs. Ying Guogong went to listen to the play with Ning Guogong’s daughter-in-law today, and they chatted about this before finishing a few words-this matter was supposed to be kept secret. But after all, the two handed handkerchiefs, and Ning Guogong's daughter-in-law didn't know the details, only that Ying Guogong was considered a close minister of the emperor, so...

"Wait a minute, ma'am!" Duke Ying turned pale with shock, "I haven't heard Laohua mention this, have I? And why did the Empress get involved in this matter?"

"Your Majesty recognizes Hua Manlou as his adoptive son, and the empress is his adoptive mother. Why can't you get involved?" Mrs. Ying Guogong yelled angrily while beating Ying Guogong desperately: "My daughter will not be able to marry. , you still ask this and that, I... I'm dead!"

He said that he was dead, but in fact he beat Duke Ying to death, and the latter ran away with his head in his arms: "Madam! Madam calm down, I will find a way for my husband!"

but……

He said he wanted to find a way, but Ying Guogong had nothing to do.

Girls are difficult to marry, and the former fan just relied on rumors to draw with Mr. Wen Ge, and no one can do anything about it, so what should we do now?You can't ruin this marriage that the empress personally hired, can you?

And now it seems that Lao Wen is a few steps ahead. After the letter of appointment is delivered, Wen Liang is directly regarded as a member of the Hua family, and the Ming media is marrying the door-to-door lady, and let his daughter go to work for Huamanlou. ...

Ying Guogong felt that he couldn't afford to lose this man.

"Stupid!" After expressing this concern, Madam Qi jumped to her feet and said, "The Hua family's double titles can't be given to one child, right? As long as they marry first, who will be the big one by then!"

Mrs. Qi sees it very clearly. After all, the Hua family is a double noble family. As long as the daughter is allowed to conceive Huamanlou's child first, the eldest son will definitely have the right to inherit the title.

What's more, the situation in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion is also quite complicated. Just looking at Madam Qi's eye-catching Yazi who keeps all the concubines silent, doesn't she know the essence of Gongdou?

So the core is whether the daughter can be married off, rather than the issue of being big or small. At that time, who will be the big wife will not rely on means?

Duke Ying was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Good advice, Ma'am! For my husband, I will enter the palace and shamelessly beg your Majesty!"

The marriage with Wen's family was arranged by the empress, so Ying Guogong felt that this matter had Emperor Guangxing's intentions, so all he had to do was go to him and cry bitterly, expressing an old father's worries Incisively and vividly, with His Majesty's benevolent temperament, it must be fulfilled, right?

So Ying Guogong entered the palace in a dizzy manner, and immediately...

Emperor Guangxing listened to his cry with a confused face, then looked blankly at Xu Dacheng beside him, and then at Ying Guogong: "Aiqing, you... how come I don't know about this?"

"...Ah?" Ying Guogong was dumbfounded: "No... Didn't you say that Xu Banban went to ask for his name in person?"

Emperor Guangxing looked at Xu Dacheng: "What's going on?"

Xu Dacheng also opened his mouth wide at this time, upon hearing the words he said hastily: "Returning to His Majesty, this servant is following the order of the Empress Empress, and I thought His Majesty knew about it, so I didn't tell His Majesty..."

The truth is, when Xu Dacheng went to work, he thought it was Emperor Guangxing's intention. After all, Huamanlou made such a bad temper on his behalf, so the royal family was giving him enough face, didn't it?

But the problem is that the empress doesn't want to disturb Emperor Guangxing about her son and daughter. After all, Emperor Guangxing has been very busy recently...

So, what a mysterious thing communication is!

Emperor Guangxing, who couldn't laugh or cry, sorted out everything, and was immediately embarrassed.

Is this a promise or not?

Promise, not to mention what old Wen Ge thinks, Ying Guogong is a man of dignity anyway, so there really isn't a process of three letters and six appointments for him to send his daughter to Huafu casually, right? (There is no etiquette for a concubine to enter the door, most of them are directly connected to the mansion with a sedan chair)

Why don't you agree, everyone begged him in front of him, and even put aside his old face and said that his daughter was not going to get married, and he was almost worried, and said that Qi Wanrong had an affair with Huamanlou. Your Majesty can't beat mandarin ducks and so on...

Emperor Guangxing was a little depressed: the empress is the one who decides, why did she become a mandarin duck?

After scratching his head for a long time, Emperor Guangxing decided to throw the pot on Uncle Huai'an's head, and said: "Xu Banban, go and invite Hua Aiqing here, this is his family's business, I can't let me make the decisions, right?" ?”

Now things are even more chaotic, because Uncle Huai'an also looked confused when he arrived at the scene: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this! Moreover, Quan Zi sent someone back yesterday to say that on the [-]th, he will meet Wan Wan, who rescued him, in Xishan. Once Yanran is engaged, but...how can this be done!"

(I will stop talking about the production team again)

332. Great value!

As soon as Uncle Huai'an opened his mouth, Emperor Guangxing immediately understood the connotation: the magical operation of the Hua family is here again!

If the matter of marrying the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus is placed on the ordinary courtiers, it is estimated that the emperor will be suspicious, but the Hua family...

To be honest, Emperor Guangxing dealt with the matter according to the emperor's thinking in an instant: while reusing Huamanlou, he also fortified him. A white lotus saint, and based on the current reputation of the White Lotus Sect in Dazhao, it is reckoned that a light decree can put him to death...

In other words, this is a huge trick, and the purpose of doing this is to prevent the royal family from having any fear of the Hua family, and to show their loyalty.

So, what some people can't even do is a good thing for others...

The loyalty of the Hua family has never been doubted by successive emperors of Zhao, but the essence of the problem now is not about the loyalty of the Hua family, but: Who should Huamanlou marry?

It is no problem to marry Wan Cheng Yanran. Although Emperor Guangxing is benevolent, he also feels that this wave of operations by the Hua family is quite comfortable-based on the emperor's position, this matter is good for the royal family, so it should be encouraged. Because this is the way to be a minister.

But Wen Ge's empress has already proposed marriage, so in theory Wen Liang should be the real master. If he agrees with the Hua family's operation, where will Ge's face be placed?Where should the queen's face be placed?You can't suddenly call it quits in the first two days of the engagement, right?

The most outrageous thing is that the two sides have already quarreled inappropriately, Ying Guogong killed him again and completely put down his face to propose marriage, and one of the reasons made people very bald: Qi Wanrong and Huamanlou had an affair.

As for the affair, Emperor Guangxing couldn't ask, but he guessed that the source of it was probably nothing more than Huamanlou standing in for Qi Wanrong during the incident with Wala, and then the two got bored with each other. Heroes save the beauty, It is also reasonable.

But the matter of private affairs is a family scandal no matter where it is placed. After this matter is exposed, Qi Wanrong's already bad market will become even worse-Emperor Guangxing still knows about it clearly, so if this is the case, Who should Qi Wanrong marry if she doesn't marry Huamanlou?

It's no wonder Ying Guogong didn't even want face.

So the current situation looks like this to Emperor Guangxing: Originally, Hua Manlou and Qi Wanrong were on good terms. If the relationship between the two goes well, it should be that Ying Guogong's mansion and Huai'an Bo's mansion got married, and it would be a good story if it spread Come on—the husband and wife work together to destroy the power and prestige of Wala. This can be made into a play and sung. Isn't it a good talk?

but……

Presumably Uncle Huai'an didn't know about the relationship between the two after his mission, and the queen naturally didn't know about it, so the two parties arranged a marriage for Hua Manlou with different purposes...

In an instant, Emperor Guangxing felt that the whole person was not good: Although the children are not allowed to make decisions about marriage, you elders should at least ask the children for their opinions symbolically!

After being depressed for a while, Emperor Guangxing rubbed his temples with a headache and said weakly: "Dacheng, go... go and summon the queen, let her decide on this matter. By the way, don't make a big deal about it, this matter... Sigh !"

You can't make a statement. After all, it concerns several big bosses, and the personal affairs of the big bosses' children are more likely to be talked about, so the four young people at the center of the incident are easily caught by the group of 'morals'. Benchmark's verbal criticism, especially Hua Manlou just slapped some people in the face, causing a group of people to withdraw from the court...

……

The queen arrived soon, and she was also confused after hearing the whole story: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not trying to make up her own mind, but thinking that the child Hua Manlou lost his mother and relatives early in his life, it is so pitiful, so I made an appointment for him." I wanted to surprise him with this marriage, but I never thought about..."

Emperor Guangxing waved his hands and sighed: "I don't blame you, no one can blame this matter, let's think of a way first!"

The queen pursed her lips: "Your Majesty, the concubine made a mistake in this matter. If... if there is really no other way, the concubine should go to Wen Ge's old mansion to apologize and call off the marriage."

This is also a way, after all, the royal family will not be involved in this way, and which Huai'an uncle Qi Wanrong and Wan Qiyan will marry can be decided by themselves.

The only problem is that the matter has already spread in a small circle among the rich and powerful. If the news of Wen Liang's divorce is known, will she still be alive?And this matter is an oolong made by the royal family. Wouldn't it damage the majesty of the royal family by leaving it alone and letting an innocent girl take the blame?

So Emperor Guangxing sighed: "Apology is something to be thanked, but the marriage cannot be withdrawn..."

The queen also thought about the joints in an instant, and smiled wryly: "The concubine made a slip of the tongue."

Several people became quiet again, Duke Ying looked at the sky, Uncle Huai'an looked at the ground, the emperor and empress looked at each other speechlessly, Xu Dacheng who stood aside looked at this and then at that, and finally said uncertainly: "Your Majesty, servant girl Instead, I think, why not... how about marrying them all?"

Emperor Guangxing raised his eyebrows: "You bastard!"

In fact, everyone present thought about this possibility, but no one said it. The reason lies in etiquette.

The order of seniority and the difference between superiority and inferiority, this is the root of etiquette and the Confucian way of determining the orthodox order. There can be no ambiguity in this regard, even the emperor can't be special, even if the rules of one empress, four concubines and nine concubines later It's bad, but that's just more concubines, the queen is always the master of the six palaces.

Of course, there are ways to abolish the empress, but in the final analysis, the status of the main wife must not be shaken. It is this status that distinguishes the concubine from the concubine, otherwise it will be messed up?

And in terms of background, Wan Qi Yanran is fine, but Qi Wanrong and Wen Liang have different identities, so how can there be a reason for the Duke of the State and the daughter of the old concubine to be a concubine?

Seeing the emperor's reprimand, Xu Dacheng hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this slave must have broken the rules, but...it's just that Uncle Hua's family has a family of two nobles, so...so this servant feels that there is nothing wrong with it." The distinction must be made too clearly, since both of them will inherit the title anyway... and His Majesty only needs to add a decree to compensate these two, presumably... presumably Mr. Wen Ge will not care about it..."

Emperor Guangxing was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: Yes, how did you forget this?

Etiquette is important, but in the final analysis, the distinction of etiquette and concubine is still a matter of inheritance rights. If there are two titles, does it matter who is the main wife?

Moreover, Mr. Ying no longer cared about his status, so what if Mr. Wen Ge said that his daughter was his wife?

Although it is still a bit of a joke to deal with it like this, compared to challenging the etiquette, it can be said that it is not cold. After all, doing so is the housework of the Hua family - people are willing to give the second title to the children of Ping's wife, you can control it Well?

As for how to distinguish who is the main wife and who is the second wife, anyway, they are all his daughters-in-law, so he can handle it by himself?Anyway, he is capable.

Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxing looked at Ying Guogong, pretending to be embarrassed: "Qi Aiqing, this time... I'm afraid I will wrong you."

Ying Guogong was heartbroken, but on the surface he still put on a frightened look: "It's the humble minister who made His Majesty embarrassed, Your Majesty must not be like this..."

And Uncle Huai'an was also happy when he heard the words: 3 taels of silver let Xu Dacheng say a word, in exchange for two daughters-in-law and two orders... worth it!Great value!

333 The Eldest Miss Finally Married

With Emperor Guangxing's decision, the matter was completely settled.

On the surface, Wen Liang is the main wife. After all, Old Wen is a civil servant who values ​​this more, and this part is handled by the royal family, so this face has to be given.

But in reality, if Wen Liang and Qi Wanrong had a son, they would each have a title to inherit, so from this point of view, it seems that there are two main wives.

And as far as Huai Anbo, who was full of malice, said, "Real wife?"Don't even think about it!You don't need the title, but the main wife is Wan Cheng Yanran!

If you don't do this, how can you dispel the hatred in Uncle Huai'an's heart?

In fact, from the very beginning, Uncle Huai'an thought about trying to trick Ying Guogong and Wen Ge into old age, and he played a trance operation after returning to Beijing.

And after Huamanlou was accepted into Yi's womb to ask him his horoscope, Uncle Huai'an originally thought that this matter was dead, but who would have thought that things would suddenly turn bright?

Even he didn't expect that the queen would inexplicably come up with a wave of divine assists, so it really hurts to be her own son?

So when Xu Dacheng just went to Nanzhen Fusi to find him and explain the matter clearly, Laohua immediately promised Xu Dacheng a generous gift, begging him to say these two words, the result...

Obviously, the presbyopia succeeded.

In this way, two daughters-in-law are added like white wolves with empty gloves, and they can get a large dowry from Ying Guogong's mansion and Wen Ge's old mansion. In the end, Laohua has already decided that Wanqiyanran will be Huamanlou's daughter-in-law. The main wife——when married to Hua's family, it is his elder Hua who has the final say, how can I let others do it?

One official wife and two equal wives, your two families happen to have two equal wives, if you have the ability, take back the married daughter?

So, when Lao Hua came out of the palace, she laughed like crazy: Lao Wen, this old man, prosperous Tianjin, cheated my son to help you open the sea, right?Okay, get a girl to help you!

There is also an old fellow like Lao Qi, you just ignored him when you asked for a kiss, right?You are in a hurry when my silly son shows up, right?Okay, now your daughter is a flat wife, didn't expect that?

This is all for the face of you two veterans, otherwise it will be treated like a concubine, and I have the final say on the affairs of the Hua family!

As for why Wancheng Yanran should make it bigger...

If there is no such person, the son will be gone. This life-saving grace, no matter what, you can't make him a little kid, right?

Uncle Huai'an, who had succeeded, was as happy as a child in his forties.

While Zheng Le was in a state of joy, Ying Guogong grabbed him: "When are you coming?"

Uncle Huai'an didn't react a bit: "Come to the door?"

Mr. Ying was in a hurry: "Come to propose a marriage, why are you pretending to be stupid? Let's forget about Na Cai, asking for names, Najib, etc. You and I know the whole story and don't care about it, but at least we have to make a symbolic door-to-door appointment, right? "

Uncle Huai'an almost couldn't hold back his laughter: "This...don't be in a hurry, right? Anyway, things have already been settled..."

It is true that the next appointment must be done, otherwise the old Qi would not be able to come down to the stage, but Uncle Huai'an wanted to laugh more and more: Are you in such a hurry?Why did you go early?

Seeing that he made a fuss, Ying Guogong was very angry, but what can he do now?

So he could only apologize and said with a smile: "Why are you not in a hurry? Wen Ge's wife is in charge of the Queen's wife, so she probably won't change her life, and she will be engaged in the future; you just said that Bai Lian is also asking for marriage on Qixi Festival, so you can't Just let my family's Wanrong hang out?"

Uncle Huai'an said solemnly: "How about...or follow the procedure? I will send a matchmaker to the door tomorrow..."

"The dowry will be given on Qixi Festival, and the date will be fixed!" Ying Guogong simply stopped pretending, and said viciously: "The one that the Qi family casts to Xishan is considered a dowry for Wan Rong, will it work?"

Uncle Huai'an said slowly, "How do you talk, I'm drawing something from you?"

Ying Guogong was a little annoyed: "I know you don't want to do this, but I don't feel good if you don't book this matter! Please do me a favor, just Qixi Festival, okay?"
