Chapter 227

After Princess Pingwu received the letter, she and her son-in-law came by car the next day.

After entering the room and sitting down, Concubine Wu asked, "What do you say? Why do you want to propose marriage all of a sudden?"

Princess Pingwu didn't speak after she came in, her face was a little tired, Mr. Jia asked Wu Xuemei and her brother to take her to rest first.

Mr. Jia talked about the recent events and what his nephew said. Concubine Wu was surprised and regained his composure.

"Brother-in-law, when I came back to Wucheng County for the first time, I thought about it. If the Gao family was a philistine, it would be easy to deal with. The big deal in the future is to spend some money. You can afford the money. If it is too much, they will not dare to spend some money. The safety of buying a nephew is also worth it, but the Gao family is not like that, after I checked for a few days, I am very satisfied with the Gao family, so I came up with the idea to come here to teach."

Prince Wu nodded, this cousin said before he came to Wucheng County why he came and why he had to hide it first, but I don't know why his cousin brought it up again.

"I went from a sheep-herding boy to a relative of the emperor. Although I am not serious, I am also Prince Qing's cousin. Anyone should respect me in person. I think I understand the Gao family's thinking, and I did predict a part of it, but..."

Mr. Jia shook his head, sighed and said: "I have lived a wealthy life for many years, and I also have the heart of wealth. I forgot that between people, we need not only honesty, but also equality and fairness."

Consort Wu was puzzled, how can we talk about equality in this world?Where does the equality of different classes come from?Talking about fairness is even more of a joke.

"When I was a sheep herder, I never wanted to compete with the village head's sheep herder for the place where the sheep graze, but I would fight with the Wang family next door. Why? Because I think we are equal, I am justified, I demand fairness, We can’t let the Wang family occupy all the grass.”

Prince Wu didn't spare the sheep, but he understood what his cousin meant, just like although he is a descendant of the rich Wu family, so what if Ping Wu is a princess?But at that time, the concubine cousin was the concubine of the crown prince. In order to win over Princess Pingwu, who was favored by Emperor Chengzong, and give the crown prince extra points, the most important thing was Pingwu's seniority, so she was recruited from Fujian. What he said, from what his cousin told him after he came, he knew that there was inequality between him and Pingwu. In the eyes of the royal family, and the purpose of his cousin, he was inferior to Pingwu. The son-in-law will do.

"I thought I concealed my identity to put us on an equal footing with the Gao family. You see, I don't even say that I am a relative of the emperor. I am a teacher. I am like this. Your Gao family should feel it if you know it. See my sincerity and kindness, just because of your low family status, I understand you, your Gao family doesn’t say they are grateful to me, but you have to treat me as a good brother, right, brother-in-law?”

Wu Consort nodded and said, "Isn't that why you kept it a secret?"

"I think so from my point of view, but what if I'm Master Gao? The lady of the Gao family once reconciled Xibei: I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a fool. That's a good point! First of all, I concealed it first, and I have lost my sincerity. There is no equality and fairness in the class with such a huge disparity. Why do I have to be smart and put the two families on an equal footing to discuss marriage? I also don’t accept such kind concealment, but if I start over, it’s not a good way to come directly to the door without concealing it. Ge, the eldest lady of the Gao family is going to become a concubine in the mansion, and Ping Wu will not accept it, so Gao Menxungui's family is so easy to enter?"

Concubine Wu sighed in his heart, yes, he is a dignified family and the cousin of Empress Jian'an, and he will be an old concubine coaxing his wife all his life, who should he go to for fairness?

Prince Wu took a sip of the tea, his face remained unchanged, he never regretted it, and he enjoyed it, because he had already figured it out before doing it.

"It turns out that I am righteous and confident. I am doing this for the good of the Gao family. It is not a loss for your Gao family to marry a daughter. Not to mention one step to the sky, you will be rich in the future. Now I am not righteous and not strong. Standing on the position of the Gao family, you are not Because fate will come to my house to propose marriage? Now they don’t know the specific fate, they just think it’s a happy occasion, and they’re thinking about burial.”

At this time, someone came to report that Mr. Jia let him in. It was Master Yao, who said that the Gao family had invited a doctor to the door.

Mr. Jia said to Consort Wu: "See, I must have fainted from shock."

He waved his hand, and Master Yao withdrew.

"I'm the one who makes mistakes with good intentions." Mr. Jia laughed at himself, "I think I'm sensible, sometimes I'm proud, and I despise many people, but sometimes there are mottos in life among the people."

"What about today?"

"We came to the door in person, and I apologize to the Gao family. To be honest, let them give us two years to marry as ordinary men and women. I can propose marriage, and the Gao family can refuse. Anyway, this fate still exists. These few days I also thought about it when I was in Beijing, especially when I was helping a friend of mine with the funeral. Only then did I realize that the status of Prince Qing’s uncle for many years made me consider myself a noble person. At the beginning, I also thought about it. The first difference is to narrow the gap. Within a year, the Gao family will be transferred to the capital, and a credit will be given to Master Gao. The Gao family will undergo a major change, and the poor family will become a high-ranking family. Aunt met, happy, set it to Changliang, or pick someone from the ancestors of the Gao family, saying that they are relatives of the Jia family, this is the easiest way, but I went around this big circle. I acted like a liar and had malicious intentions, and now it's a mess."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Jia got up and bowed to Consort Wu and said, "I'm sorry, brother-in-law."

Concubine Wu hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Cousin, there is no need to be like this. I, Ping Wudu, thank my cousin. Cousin has worked so hard for my family Xunsheng."

Mr. Jia sat back, "Why did I have to make such a trip to Wucheng County? I didn't say what I really thought. That would mean that Pingwu would not accept it, and neither would you. By the way, how is Pingwu doing recently?"

"Since going back that time, Pingwu has been depressed for a few days. She went to the palace to apologize to her mother, and also to me, saying that I have been wronged because of her temper for so many years. I told her that I am not wronged. I married her and had four children. I am very happy, except for Xunsheng. Pingwu didn't talk much, but I know that she was not happy. It was because of the person in her heart who was unhappy before. Ci and Xunsheng, now unhappy, added guilt to her mother and loathing to herself, she was ashamed for having such thoughts, she loves her mother and is filial to her mother, but she despises her mother in her heart, knowing this, In addition to being unable to face her mother, she was also unable to face herself, so I said why I told her that day."

 I read an article in a magazine a long time ago. The title was fairness. I asked a lot of excellent people who came up from the bottom. They said that if you go back in time, when you are at a critical moment, what kind of opportunity do you want? Surprisingly, 80.00% said: fair, fair chance.But it's not that there is fairness at one level, and there is no absolute fairness even for people at different levels.

  However, you cannot give up your efforts and ideals because of this.

  I write this because I don’t think it’s unfair for everyone to follow the trend. If that’s the case, I won’t write about Mr. Jia’s concealment until now, and I won’t write about such a heroine.

  The story is not over yet, so write it down slowly.
