Chapter 23
Lu Hanzhi sorted out the information.The current prince is a descendant of the empress, with noble background and outstanding talent, he was crowned prince at the age of 15.It can be seen that today the crown prince is very important. After the crown prince was canonized, he intentionally taught the prince the way to be a king, and appointed the prince's daughter Cheng's parents as the crown princess. Obviously, he did his best to cultivate the eldest son.
It's hard to guess the emperor's heart. Others don't know the real situation of the relationship between the father and son of the Tian family, but obviously, as the second and third princes entered the court successively, the court has secretly divided factions.The second prince mentioned by Mrs. Zheng was the son of Concubine Jin Shu, and Concubine Shu's father was the Minister of the Household Department. Unlike Empress Xu, who came from a noble family, the Jin family was famously rich.It's not that Jin Shangshu is corrupt, but that the Jin family is an imperial merchant. They have both the ability to take the imperial examination and the ability to make money. How can an emperor be dissatisfied? With the backing of the Jin family, the second prince was born to compete with the prince. It is not surprising that the heart is superior or inferior.
Of course, the current crown prince sitting on the position of crown prince is justified, and the second prince has so much confidence in his heart, he dare not cross the line on the surface, so he secretly resorts to some shady tricks.Mrs. Zheng despised such means, but with this matter in mind, she had to take it to heart, and told Lu Hanzhi: "The Crown Princess has sent news that the congratulatory gifts sent to the East Palace by the Marquis of Anbei have also been tampered with. Fortunately, The prince found out carefully, and it didn't lead to bad results. It can be seen that what the other party wants is to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of His Royal Highness. Our family is the natal family of the princess. Knife, harm others and yourself."
As a prince, he can be said to be the closest person to the throne, but as an emperor, he obviously wants to live a long life rather than abdicate early.Therefore, sitting in the position of prince, many times you are not afraid of not doing enough, but afraid of doing too much.As the concubine's natal family, the situation of the Cheng family is similar to that of the prince to some extent. They can't do too much to provoke the king's suspicion, and they must be careful not to be calculated by others. While enjoying the glory and wealth, they can live happily It's really not easy.
Lu Hanzhi responded to her mother-in-law's words, and said, "Mother, my cousin is engaged tomorrow, and I want to go back."
"Is it girl Ting?" The first room of the Lu family has been kept outside for many years, but the second room has always been in Beijing. In the past, the Cheng family and the Lu family have not had much contact with each other, but the Zheng family knows the situation of the Lu family. "This is a good thing, Yuping, Take a pair of my newly acquired flower hairpins, and girl He Ting is engaged."
Engagement is not a trivial matter, but compared to Jiji ceremony and wedding ceremony, engagement ceremony is much simpler, usually only one's own family celebrates once. Although the Cheng family and Lu family are related by marriage, the Lu family only posted a post to Lu Han.This is almost the custom at this time, Zheng is not surprised, but since Lu Hanzhi's cousin is getting married, she will also send a gift.
"Daughter-in-law thanked mother for the reward on behalf of the third sister!" It was a happy event, and naturally he couldn't refuse the reward from the elders, so Lu Hanzhi happily agreed.
The next day the weather was fine, Lu Hanzhi took advantage of the cool weather in the morning and went out early.
Knowing that Lu Hanzhi would come back, Jiang shi drew people's attention early in the morning. As soon as Lu Han arrived, he was welcomed in. He went to see Mrs. Lu before being led back by Jiang shi.
The engagement ceremony is relatively simple, and even Lu Ting, who is the protagonist, has no chance to come forward, but there will also be a ceremony where the parents of both parties will exchange invitations and tokens under the witness of a matchmaker, and the marriage will be considered settled.The female relatives only prepared two tables of banquets for the matchmaker and the female relatives from the Mu family, as well as the sisters Lu Yazhi and Lu Han who returned to their natal family to congratulate them.
Lu Hanzhi sat down next to his mother, and as usual asked her about her life in the Cheng family. After Lu Hanzhi answered one by one, Jiang was still a little worried, and said: "The Cheng family is all good, but just newly married, my uncle will go to the border. I don’t know when I’ll be back. Right now it’s fine, but if it’s the same in the future, what will you do if you stay in the capital alone?”
As soon as Lu Hanzhi married Cheng's family, Cheng Junze went to war. Although he moved to another place to live, Cheng Junze's presence as a husband was too low. Lu Hanzhi really didn't think about it.Hearing Jiang's words, Lu Hanzhi thought for a while and said, "Didn't my mother run around with my father when my father was released? This time there is a war, there is no way. When the border is more stable in the future, if the husband wants to guard the border, the daughter will naturally I will go with him too."
Lu Hanzhi originally wanted to comfort his mother, but Jiang Shi became more worried after hearing what Lu Hanzhi said, "How is the border customs different from other places? There is usually no war, and the weather there is cold and life is poor. Do you remember that year when we In Suzhou, it is not easy to buy even good cloth on the street..."
Jiang is not a delicate woman who can't bear hardships, and it's not like she didn't encounter difficulties when she was away with her husband. It's just that as a mother, she is not so rational when it comes to her children.Jiang Shi has no objection to the Cheng family, and admires the Cheng family for guarding the border in exchange for peace and tranquility, but thinking of her daughter having to suffer so much, she can't help complaining.
"Mother, relax, your daughter is already married, and it's too late to repent!" Jiang said the truth, and Lu Hanzhi couldn't refute it, so he had to persuade her to think about it.
The so-called unsatisfactory things in life are common, and Jiang is not a person who sticks to the horns. He just thinks of this and thinks of the Li family. This is more than a little bit of complaint. My girl’s wedding date is set on the third day of next month, and she invited our family to be a guest. They really have big faces, and they post posts like nothing else, do they still want to show off to our family that their family can marry a high-ranking wife?”
"..." Lu Hanzhi almost didn't laugh when he heard Jiang's words.The Li family is not showing off, and now they can't wait to get married quietly.But anyway, it's his parent's son, among other things, how many gifts have been sent out over the years, and they still don't want it.As for sending posts to the Lu family, there were probably not as many as my mother thought. My father was an official in the same dynasty as the master of the Li family, and my colleagues invited them. It would be unreasonable not to invite the Lu family.
"After all, it's a colleague. It's not good not to invite my father, not to mention my grandfather is highly respected. Even if there are previous things, I can't neglect it." After Lu Hanzhi got married, Mrs. Zheng wanted to teach her, and she has grown a lot in dealing with these interpersonal relationships. Of course, Jiang It's not that Shi doesn't understand these things, but it's just that he gets angry when he mentions the Li family, "Everyone knows about our family and his family. Angry."
