Section 37 Difficult at both ends
When Feng Ziying sat under her mother and aunt in high spirits and read her father's letter, she frowned slightly.
"Does my father mean to approve of this marriage?"
It seems that Qiao Yingjia should have sent a letter to his father, detailing the benefits of this marriage, and his father really fell in love with it, so he naturally supported it.
Being able to marry Wenchen has always been my father's hope.
The Shen family has been scholarly for generations, Shen Fu is also a Jinshi, and now he is a member of the four products, and it is possible to go further in the future, and the Shen family's girls have good poetry, books and etiquette, so they naturally become a good match in their father's mind.
"Well, your father's intention is that after the New Year, you can choose a suitable time to go to the Shen family to propose marriage, but the Shen family is in Shandong, I'm afraid I still need to go to Shandong."
According to the usual practice, ordinary families, that is, they can find a suitable matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, but a family like Shen Feng's family must not be so hasty, and they also need to entrust Qiao Yingjia, a Chinese person, to help coordinate it, so they can come to discuss marriage.
"In this letter, the father said that if he wants to present the title of the uncle to the court, the title must be taken by the son, and the incense will also be inherited by the son and the son who marries his wife and has a son, I am afraid it will take time, and the father said that the Shen family is married to the long house or the father's room?"
Therefore, this is the inconvenience of correspondence, and it cannot be said so clearly in person, there are still several steps involved.
The imperial court posthumously sealed it to show that it has not forgotten its past merits, but if you want to attack the knight, it is another matter, and you have to submit it to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will report to the emperor for approval.
Of course, there is another step involved, you have to take the marquish before you can allow the raid, these are two things, and the is for the raid, so you need to get approval.
The Duan family was also a little hesitant, and she believed that she also read it, but her husband did not say which family the Shen family was marrying on.
Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that the husband has not yet obtained the consent of the imperial court to let his son join the throne and take the title of the eldest earl, but since the court came to chase the title at this time, the fool knows that this must be to agree to the title of the lord.
Otherwise, can you still go to Linqing's hometown to find a distant relative of the Feng family who can't be beaten by eight poles to attack the lord? Then this uncle really sacrificed for the court in vain.
However, after all, the imperial court has not approved it, so the husband is cautious and will not mention this matter for the time being, but it is estimated that the problem of the long house should be solved first.
This made the Duan family feel a little pity, the Shen family is in a good situation, it is said that the Shen family is also the eldest daughter, healthy, knowledgeable, so it would be good if she could enter her own room.
"Mother, father didn't say so much, only said that he basically agreed to this family business, as for when to propose marriage, I'm afraid I have to wait until my son turns sixteen, right?" When Feng Ziying saw her mother's appearance, she knew that she couldn't wait to settle this marriage as soon as possible.
"What's the relationship? Let's settle down first, and as for getting married, you can wait until you turn sixteen in September next year. Duan disagreed, "I think your father also means this, if this is inherited from your uncle's room, your room, we also have to consider it." ”
"Mother, what the son means is to wait until the Shen family's marriage is decided, don't worry." Feng Ziying saw that her mother was so anxious, and she also beat a little drum in her heart, Daiyu and Baochai, this has really become a difficult choice, if she is in such a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the mother's pass.
Especially compared to the Shen family's side, seeing that the long house is so prominent and complete, how can it be his turn to become like this? One by one, they either lost their father or mother, they were not from an imperial merchant family, or they were thin-boned, which is estimated to make the mother pick her nose and eyes, and a hundred of them could not agree.
Because of this, Feng Ziying wanted to drag it out.
Lin Yatou is too young, if she says that she wants to marry Lin Yatou, her mother only needs to inquire about her bones, but she is afraid that she will have to turn her face immediately.
After two years, Lin Yatou will grow up and be in good health, so that her mother may have something to talk about.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying suddenly froze, if it drags on for another two years, Lin Ruhai should not hang up, this year seems to be really close.
The problem is that I haven't heard anything wrong with Lin Ruhai now, even the second master of the Xue family seems to be very good, according to the book, this second master Xue should also die.
Perhaps history has also changed because of his own appearance, or is the book written by Cao Gong itself that he has freely processed during this period of history? Didn't everything come exactly according to this history?
The more Feng Ziying thought about it, the more it seemed like that, there had been some confusion in many histories, small events were hidden or revealed, but the big historical trend had not changed.
For example, the Jurchens of Jianzhou rose, Nurhachi built a city in Hetuala, and the six forts of Kuandian were abandoned, replacing the Great Zhou of the Ming Dynasty in a passive defensive position in Liaodong; The Imjin Rebellion appeared, and even Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, Konishi Yukinaga, and even the battles of Bihokan and Ulsan appeared, but Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't seem to be able to shrink back as in history, and even dared to send Japanese people deep into the interior, and even intervened in the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect.
However, the Battle of Ningxia and the Banzhou Rebellion did not occur, but it seems that this social environment may happen at any time.
If this is the case, does that mean that some small historical events did not happen at all, or will not happen?
Well, Feng Ziying didn't dare to say that the Battle of Ningxia was a small incident, but Lin Ruhai and Xue Erye died a few years early and died a few years later, it must be a small incident, right?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and Feng Ziying was not sure about all this.
Seeing his son's strange expression, Duan looked at him suspiciously for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Brother Keng, didn't you already have an idea?" Or which girl do you fall in love with, tell your mother and aunt to hear about it. ”
"Huh?!" Caught off guard, she was caught off guard by her mother, Feng Ziying was stunned for a while, and then she shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, how dare my son ...... behind his mother's back?"
"Brother Cong'er, my sister didn't say that you decided to marry privately, but that if you have a suitable one in your mind, then you might as well put it forward, let your sister and aunt think about it for you, and then discuss whether it is suitable,......" Xiao Duan laughed, she felt that Brother Cong'er seemed to have a ghost in his heart.
"Well, it does have some intentions, but it's not mature for the time being,...... Feng Ziying thinks that maybe she can give her mother a breeze first, and it is not impossible to make psychological preparations, so as not to react too violently later.
"Oh? Is there really one? Both the big and small Duan clans were taken aback, "Which girl, have we seen it?" ”
"No, no, mother, auntie, you think too much, my son just has an idea,......" Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Ziying hurriedly retracted the conversation, this must be known, so it is not allowed to turn the sky upside down?
"Well, Brother Keng, you have an idea, and my mother knows it, but you have to be clear that your affairs are related to the entire Feng family, well, at least your father's room, it is related to the incense and incense, and there can be no ambigu,......ity."
Hearing her mother's words, Feng Ziying felt bitter in her heart, "Eh, mother, the heir of the incense, don't you say it too, if you really can't do it, your son will take a concubine and give birth to two for you first, how about it?" lest you always think about ,......"
"Well, it's not impossible,...... Duan's hearing his son say this, he hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked his sister, "Wanqin, what do you think?" Why don't you wait for Ziying to turn sixteen next year, and take one or two concubines first? Maybe we can open up the branches for our Feng family,......"
Duan's calculated, if you want to solve the marriage of the long house first, then you have to wait until the son is sixteen years old, these two families are not a trivial matter, this toss will definitely take a year and a half, this calculation may not be able to end the year after that, then it will take at least two or three years to talk about marriage in her own house, how can she afford to wait?
"Sister, it's nothing for Brother Keng to take a concubine, but if you have a child first, I'm afraid it's ......" Xiao Duan's family also knows her sister's thoughts, but this is also a troublesome matter, the eldest son and eldest daughter come first, then there must be pressure on the wife, change to a small-minded wife, I am afraid that this back house will not be peaceful.
"If you don't have children, then it's better to take a concubine and just take a few girls into the room?" Duan's lips pursed, "Brother Keng, I think that Jin Chu'er is capable, Xiangling's girl is honest and honest, look at that look, she can also give birth, next year you will be sixteen, if you are interesting, then accept them, but it will definitely not work before, your aunt has to check it every month,......"
Feng Ziying is full of black lines, why did she directly exclude Yunsheng, does her mother have such a big prejudice against Yunsheng? Speaking of Yunshang and fox, Jin Chu'er's appearance seems to be similar to Yunshang, right? Xiangling was born more dignified.
"Well, Yunshang is okay, my mother knows that you have always remembered ,......"
It was finally redeemed, or Yunshang would have cried all night when she heard this, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, let's wait for this matter, what the son means, this incense heir is definitely not a problem, so ......" Feng Ziying seized the opportunity to instill in her mother, this distinction between concubines and concubines really doesn't have so many concepts in Feng Ziying's modern thinking, if they are really their own children, how can they be so exquisite? But that's not the case in this world.
"Stop, Brother Keng, don't play any tricks in front of me and your aunt,......" Duan's family finally noticed that something was wrong with his son today, and his eyes became more and more suspicious, "Your family affairs must be decided by me and your aunt, and the girl of the Shen family is just that, that is your father's decision, and it is estimated that it is also your uncle's room, but my own house, I and your aunt are in charge." ”
Feng Ziying exhaled a breath of turbidity, it seemed that she was really going to stay up for two years to see the situation, and it would be a little difficult for her mother to make her give in here.
