Chapter 883 What is the difficulty
Of course, because of the blood relationship, it's not a pity that this marriage was robbed by the Kang family.

That is to say, the Kang family took the lead, otherwise the Wang family really agreed to marry Rulan.

In order to avoid any disabilities in the future, mentally retarded nephews and nieces.

Sheng Changbai still has to find a way to stop it, which will inevitably make the Wang family feel that the Sheng family has begun to be ungrateful before it has risen.

In the first 20 years, the Wang family helped the Sheng family a lot. Now that the Sheng family has just started to prosper, they look down on the Wang family and are unwilling to marry the Wang family.

Sheng Changbai didn't marry the daughter of the Wang family, it was because he wanted to marry Hai Chaoyun, the Hai family was much more powerful than the Wang family, and the Wang family could understand a little bit, it was for Sheng Changbai's official career.

If Ru Lan also refuses to marry the Wang family, and then marry a marriage that is not as good as Wang's cousin in all aspects.

It is inevitable that the Sheng and Wang families will have many suspicions.

Although the Wang family no longer has too many political resources, they can no longer help the official position to become a mid-to-high-end Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong has been dancing with long sleeves for so many years, and at this point, he has made many friends and relatives, and gained some wings.

The Sheng family has no reliance on the Wang family, and it seems that the two families have broken up, which is not a big problem.

But between families, this is not the case.

The two clans formed an in-law relationship in order to work together, help each other, and help each other.

Now the Wang family is gradually declining, and the Sheng family is gradually rising.

In the past, the Wang family took care of the Sheng family a lot, and the Sheng family owed a lot of favors to the Wang family. Now is the time for the Sheng family to take care of them and repay the Wang family.

If the Sheng family had a quarrel with the Wang family, it seemed that the Sheng family had nothing to lose.

There is no need to repay, help, and take care of the Wang family, which saves a lot of trouble in a short period of time.

But by doing this, the Sheng family's family reputation will be lost immediately.

The family has lost its credibility, and there is no family in the political arena that is willing to play with the Sheng family.

Although politics pays attention to interests, people who play politics are also people.

If you are a human being, you must also pay attention to the ways of the world.

Not to mention anything else, the Sheng family's official career has been ruined by the lack of virtue alone.

One more thing, if the Sheng family really didn't care about the Wang family and had a reputation of being ungrateful, no family would be willing to marry the Sheng family.

The marriage between Sheng Changbai and the Hai family has come to this point, it's hard to say if it will be a mess.

But for the three orchids and the two elders under Sheng Changbai, it's hard to say that the relationship is certain.

"Over the years, has mother considered other candidates for Rulan's marriage?" Sheng Changbai continued to ask.

"At first, I also thought about the Kang family, but even if I didn't mention how ruined the Kang family is now, how messy your uncle Kang's back house is. With your aunt Kang, you robbed Rulan and the Wang family's relatives. I can't Let Ru Lan marry her."

It should be that the Kang family is still powerful. When Rulan was young, Wang Ruofu considered the Kang family.

Now, in terms of family background, assets, appearance, character, talent and learning, Wang Ruofu despises the Kang family in all aspects.

Wang Ruofu's range of communication is limited, and her thinking is very traditional. Because of Rulan's arrogant and brainless character, she won't be rejected by her husband's family.

After getting married, you can have a relatively peaceful living environment.

Naturally, I first went to the relatives' house to think, and hoped that the in-law's family would be gentler and more tolerant of Rulan for the sake of relatives.

The first thing to consider is my brother and sister.

"Since mother doesn't have any suitable candidates, she might as well consider young juzi. In a few days, father will organize a literary meeting and invite some young juzi to the house. Mother might as well go over and have a look at it, and see if it's okay. Pick someone you like."

When a man chooses a wife, he basically has to weigh family background, status, beauty, virtue, and knowledge.

Rulan has the status of a prostitute, so it is only considered a family background.

Although his father and brother are both officials in the court, Sheng Hong is now at the fifth rank, and Sheng Changbai is at the seventh rank. Ru Lan's status is not that high in Bianjing.

In terms of beauty, Ru Lan looks like the most ordinary of the four Lan.

In terms of virtue, innocence and kindness are not the virtues for choosing a wife. Rulan has nothing to do with being gentle and virtuous, so it can be said that she has no virtues for being a wife.

In terms of knowledge, Ru Lan is only able to read and write, and has never studied hard for so many years, so it can be said that she has no knowledge.

Compared with Mo Lan, who has excellent appearance and knowledge, and also pretends to be a good character, Ru Lan is almost on the same level as being able to choose a husband.

Just pick a potential stock from the poor family, and it's over.

Rulan has the foundation to choose a husband-in-law from a well-matched family of officials, but Rulan herself is not outstanding, and she is not outstanding in everything.

It's unrealistic to want to pick one character, appearance, and only one person who is outstanding in everything.

"That won't work. I've heard that your father chose a husband for Mo Lan. He invited some poor family candidates, poor candidates from poor families. That's okay. Rulan has been at home since she was a child. Is it the kind of person who can live a poor life when she grows up? She can't! Besides, my daughter, Wang Ruofu, can't be confused with her daughter, Lin Boshuang. "

Wang Ruofu was very excited, the main thing was that he was angry, his daughter could not be married to the same class as Lin Baoshuang's daughter.

A poor family is a poor family, not a poor family, as long as it is not a rich family with many generations of officials, the rest are poor families.

Not all poor families are self-cultivated farmers who can barely read.

There are some wealthy businessmen and landlords whose ancestors have never been officials, or their ancestors have been officials, but their inheritance has been broken, and their family fortunes have fallen.

These people are also from poor families, but these people's families are also quite rich.

"Mother, hasn't the Wenhui been fully settled yet? If mother is willing to take a look, we can naturally invite more sons from wealthy families, even the children of officials and eunuchs. What kind of sons does mother like? Just invite whoever you want to come over."

It's quite a hassle to hold a literary meeting or an event at home.

It would be too wasteful for Mo Lan to go on a blind date alone, so why don't you show it to Ru Lan by the way.

"Then go and discuss with your father."

Although Wang Ruofu usually speaks bluntly, he also knows in his heart that Rulan is far inferior to Hualan.

As outstanding as Hua Lan, she only married into a down-and-out Earl's House.

Naturally, Ru Lan couldn't marry a high-ranking woman, and the right one was only at this level, so she agreed.

……

After Sheng Changbai and Sheng Hong mentioned it, Sheng Hong remembered that besides Mo Lan, he had other daughters.

They are all his own daughters. Although he has a preference, Sheng Hong just ignores Rulan, and doesn't mean to completely ignore Rulan's marriage.

The old lady is capable of arranging a suitable marriage, but Wang Ruofu obviously does not have this ability.

The father and son each invited some more people over.

Selected some eunuch children who are not bad in talent and learning, and the sons from wealthy families come here, which can be regarded as a face for Wang Ruofu.

But this kind of family has a background, is not short of money, has real talents and learning, and is the most confident person in the imperial examination.

He would not rashly make a marriage for himself before becoming a Jinshi.

Sheng Hong is not the only one who is smart, he is a sensible person. Everyone knows that after becoming a Jinshi, he can find a better marriage.

The greatest significance of inviting these people over is for Wang Ruofu's face.

The real potential stocks to be selected for the two Lans still have to be selected from poor families.

The venue of the Wenhui was chosen in the back garden of the Sheng family. There was a pond in the garden, and many lotus flowers were planted in the pond.

It is of course an elegant thing to invite some literati to come over to admire flowers, eat wine, write poems, and compose essays.

Since the birth of Zhou Dunyi's love of lotus, which endowed the lotus with a noble quality, the lotus has been loved and sought after by many literati.

It is also suitable for the Sheng family to invite some literati to come to the house to enjoy the flowers on the grounds of the lotus flowers blooming in the pond.

After all, literati have to be more reserved. It cannot be said that the literary meeting held by the Sheng family is a meeting for the daughter of the family.

Even if someone asks, they will say that the purpose of organizing this literary conference is to help Sheng Laosan to make a name for himself.

After all, Sheng Hong was a scarlet robe official and an elder, so he could just stay in the backyard and wait for someone to come over.

Although Sheng Changbai is also an official, his official position is not high, and he is the same age as these candidates.

Many of these candidates were older than Sheng Changbai.

So Sheng Changbai accompanied Sheng Changfeng and waited at the door to welcome the guests.

After sending another group of people in, Sheng Changbai returned to the door when he heard someone calling him.

"Zecheng!"

If they are called characters, of course they are good acquaintances, and those who are not acquainted, called Sheng Changbai, are all Tanhualang or official positions.

"Gu Er, when did you return to Bianjing?"

Hearing the voice, Sheng Changbai knew it was Gu Tingye.

Even calling a name, Gu Tingye shouted more boldly and boldly than ordinary literati.

Even after going to the academy to study for a few years, Gu Tingye is still a warrior in his bones, and he is used to being a warrior.

"Just two days after I came back, I heard that your family held a literary conference, so I came to participate."

Gu Tingye said familiarly.The relationship between the two, Gu Tingye really does not need an invitation if he wants to come to participate.

"Have you figured it out? Our family is running a cultural event, not inviting people to watch wrestling and sumo performances?"

Wenhui is not within the scope of Gu Tingye's preferences.

Unless it is going to a brothel, listening to the oiran singing obscene words, barely has a little bit of literariness.

"I have something to entrust to you, so I just took this opportunity to come to you."

"Let's go in and talk, I just want to know, where have you been this year?"

It was not that simple to find the child, and asking would only add to the sadness, so Sheng Changbai didn't ask.

If he really found it, Gu Tingye would naturally say so.

After introducing Gu Tingye into the courtyard, the two found a secluded corner and sat down.

"After leaving Xuzhou, Stone and I went..."

After leaving Xuzhou, Gu Tingye went to find his elder brother who was with Shi Shi.

Shitou's eldest brother and sister-in-law are gangsters, and they are not small leaders in the Cao Gang.

Of course, the Cao Gang in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not a gangster, nor was it a national organization.

Now it can only be regarded as a group of people who live in water transport and wharfs, some workers and sailors gather together, with the idea of ​​solidarity and mutual assistance, mutual help and loyalty in the rivers and lakes, and become a mutual help and self-protection organization.

Each road has its own leader, with its own gang rules and signs.

Brother Shitou belongs to Caobang, which is located on Huainan Road and controls the most important section from Bianhe to Jiangnan.

If Mannia was going to the south of the Yangtze River, she would have to go through this section.

It is indeed a way for Gu Tingye to go to Big Brother Shitou to help find someone.

Taking the vast number of members of the Cao Gang as an example, if Mannia wanted to go south to Jiangnan, she must have had contact with the Cao Gang.

The idea is good, but Gu Tingye wandered around in the Cao Gang for a while, and did not find any trace of Mannia.

Mannia may have brought her children and had contact with the Cao Gang.

But the Cao Gang are just some low-level hard-working workers, and it is not easy to make money to support their families.

How can I have time and mood to care about other things.

Even if some boatman had seen Mannia before, he might have forgotten it long ago.

Then civil unrest broke out in the south, and Gu Tingye joined the army to quell the chaos.

Gu Tingye, who has been nurtured in the general's family for so many years, likes to fight in his bones, and likes to go to the battlefield.

Some people will hide, Gu Tingye is rushing to find such things.

"Since you are going to quell the chaos, Zhong Huai, you should be in the army now, why did you come back to Bianjing?"

It's almost a year old, and the rebel army came from the south to the vicinity of Bianjing.

Then he was dispersed by the forbidden army outside Bianliang, fled around, hid in Tibet, but was still not wiped out.

Although the strength of the rebel army is not good enough, even the engineering corps can't beat the Xiang army in frontal combat, but they can run fast enough.

At least some old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind, and the rest were fast runners.

While running, you can beat, smash, and grab supplies in towns and villages, and you can also coerce the people to replenish manpower.

The Xiang army of the imperial court could not leave the jurisdiction because there was no transfer order.

Drive the rebellious army out of your own jurisdiction, and you have completed the task.

If the rebels come back again, they can just drive them away.

Because the armies from all walks of life could not command the encirclement and suppression in a unified way, they gave these chaotic armies room to survive.

The emperor and ministers in the court were all busy with the affairs of the crown prince, and no one cared about this group of chaotic troops.

Some rioters who could not even defeat the Xiang army were just scabies to the court.

Let the Xiang troops from all walks of life slowly drive this group of rioters to play.

If it is really difficult to encircle and suppress, just give a few official positions and give the leaders of the rioters to Zhao'an.

"The rebels on Huainan Road were driven out, and there was no more fighting. I remembered that I haven't been back for a long time. I'll come back to see Sister Rong."

After the war, Gu Tingye had come to an intermission and went home to see his daughter.

"Have you returned to Ningyuan Hou Mansion?"

Sheng Changbai was a little curious, did Gu Tingye ever think about going home to see his wife.

The two have been married for more than a year, and I don't know how many times Gu Tingye has met his wife.

"not yet."

"You should go back to Ningyuanhou's Mansion, at least to see your eldest lady."

If he doesn't care about his daughter-in-law for more than a year and finds an unscrupulous person, Gu Tingye will be happy to be his father.

"Let's talk about this. When I came back this time, my mother said that my sister Rong is getting old and should study wisely. I don't know any women's book schools in Bianliang, so I can only come to you."

There were so many literate women in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not all of them were rich, some of the families of officials were in decline, or the women of farming and studying families also practiced calligraphy, and these women were willing to be private tutors.

If there is no women's school, you can hire a teacher from home.

When Gu Tingye said he couldn't find it, he was just pretending to be confused, so Sheng Changbai also pretended:
"What's so difficult about it? As long as you can get a job as a teacher, how difficult is it to hire a female tutor who can teach Sister Rong to read and write?"
