After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 306 Veteran Relatives

Hai Jiao didn't know about the marriage between Zhou and Tang families, and was quite surprised.

He didn't understand why the Tang family was making such a fuss. He has two daughters in his family. If he really intends to get married to the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Cheng'en, the worst he can do is to marry each of his daughters to a family. Why do they want to engage in a farce of one daughter marrying two? Even if Mrs. Zhen Guogong did not explicitly agree to the marriage, there is no need for the Tang family to propose marriage to Mrs. Chengenhou Shizi so soon, right? The latter is not leaving Chang'an soon, so can't he spend more time and talk slowly? At least we need to inform Madam Zhenguo? They are all daughters of the Tang family who married into the Duke of Zhenguo's palace. Mrs. Tuesday can't think too little of her mother-in-law, right? !

Now Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi is also very angry and will never think that the Tang family is sincere. And even if the matter was not revealed by sisters Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Yijun, Mrs. Tuesday would not be able to keep it a secret for a few days. Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi was obviously very cautious about her children's marriage, and it was impossible for her to make a marriage contract for her eldest son on the same day. Once she heard later that Tang Hui was supposed to marry into the Zhenguo Palace, she would definitely regret Mrs. Tuesday for putting herself in an embarrassing situation. How could she agree to the marriage?

Even if there was no such thing as Jin Shan, Tang Hui's reputation would inevitably be affected in the future if her marriage was manipulated like this by her elders. What kind of good family can she marry in Chang'an City? Mrs. Tuesday seems to love and respect her niece very much. How could she dare to do such a deceptive thing? !

Haijiao sighed a few times and stopped paying attention. What he cares about is the powerful position of the Zhou family in Chang'an. As for the emotional disputes between the children of the Zhou, Tang, Peng, and Jin families, it is just amusement to him. It's also a good thing to listen to it occasionally to relax your mind.

Haitang paid more attention to the Tang family's affairs. She felt that this matter was obviously weird and could not understand Mrs. Tuesday's thoughts: "Does she have any dissatisfaction with the young masters of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion? Why did she suddenly have the idea of ​​​​the eldest grandson of Cheng'enhou Mansion? He Are you better than your other cousins?”

Hai Jiao followed Zhou Yijun to the school grounds today and got to know several young disciples of Chang'an General. He also met Zhou Hengjun from Cheng'enhou Mansion. In his opinion, Zhou Hengjun is not much better than his cousins ​​in Zhenguo Palace. They are all the same spiritual young men with good looks and good civil and military skills. In terms of military force, he may be a little worse. Probably because the capital city is not as martial as Chang'an, and he has to devote part of his energy to studying, which makes him feel more gentle.

Haijiao's new friend Zhou Yijun can be regarded as the best among his cousins ​​in Zhenguo Palace, but he is still young, not tall enough, and has no experience in guarding the border. But when it comes to military skills and cavalry and archery skills alone, he is better than the sons of General Zhou, General Tuesday, and General Wednesday. Many people believe that he will have great success in the future.

General Friday's sons are all still young. Apart from them, the other young masters of Zhenguo Palace are all young talents. Each one of them is better than Zhou Hengjun. At most, his academic performance is slightly lower and his personality is not so stable.

From Hai Jiao's point of view, if a wealthy family in Chang'an had family members serving in the border army, if they wanted to choose a future husband for their daughter, they would not give up on the young masters of the Zhenguo Palace. Instead, they would look at it. The eldest grandson of Shangcheng Enhou Mansion. If the Tang family wanted to go to Beijing and use the marriage of their children as a springboard, their family also has a second daughter, Tang Ruo, so why not consider letting Tang Ruo marry the Marquis of Cheng'en?

Mrs. Zhen Guogong wanted Tang Ruo to be her granddaughter-in-law, but the Tang family refused and insisted on recommending Tang Hui. But when Mrs. Zhenguo wanted to accept Tang Hui, the Tang family suddenly wanted to marry Tang Hui to the Cheng'enhou Mansion. How could they bring trouble to Tang Hui? What is Tang Ruo used for? The Zhou and Tang families are two generations of in-laws, so it would be really ugly to have such a commotion.

Hai Jiao only regrets one thing: "When I went to Chang'an in my last life, I only paid attention to the news about the Zhou family. I didn't pay much attention to other famous families. I don't know how the Tang family handled the matter at that time."

Haitang thought for a while: "In his previous life, Du Boqin successfully concealed his secret and rose to prominence. It is estimated that Du Qi was not able to return to Chang'an to report to the Zhenguo government. Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi probably did not send Du Qi back, but did she? I can't say for sure when the Wu family comes over. But...at this time in my last life, not long after General Wednesday's incident, Du Boqin was preparing to assassinate the young men of various generals in the city. It is estimated that Chang'an was not at peace, and the Zhenguo Palace or the Tang Family You may not have the time to discuss marriage at this time, right? When the matter calms down, it will be almost time for the Queen Mother, and then something happens to the Prince of Yingchuan, involving General Zhou..."

Hai Jiao thought for a while: "I vaguely remember hearing someone say... among the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, it seems that some of them married their daughters into relatives in the capital. It should be the Zhang family, right? That was before the death of Duke Zhen Guo. Well, it seems that this family once competed with the Duke of Zhen for the leadership seal, but it didn't work out. His daughter died within a few years, leaving the Zhang family with a sick and wilting son. If that If she is a daughter of the Tang family, neither Tang Hui nor Tang Ruo will get a good result, and the Tang family's plan will eventually come to nothing. After Sun Yonglu took over the power of the northwest frontier army, none of the famous generals with real power in the northwest The surname is Tang, which shows that his family has not achieved what he wanted, and is probably declining day by day." Unfortunately, Haijiao can't remember these things clearly, and he can't even remember the general's last name. The little information he has now is completely useless. My son is of no use. Even if the Tang family has different intentions, the Sun family's arrangements in Chang'an are now in vain, and the Zhou family still holds the power of the border army. Even if the Tang family wants to enter Beijing again, they will not act rashly and create a rift with the Zhou family.

At the moment, the Tang family has already spent enough energy just to resolve the scandal between Tang Hui and Jin Shan, and also to deal with the relationship with the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion. How much energy is left to make misguided ideas?

Haitang was a little curious: "Who is the Zhang family? Are they also relatives?"

Hai Jiao nodded: "The Zhang family is a long-established family. Emperor Yongchang's queen was from the Zhang family. When the late emperor came to power, his family had another concubine, Zhang De, who gave birth to Prince An. Together with Prince Ji, they were the ones with the highest claim to be the legitimate heirs. The favored prince was eventually defeated at the hands of Emperor Deguang. His family was probably unwilling to give in, so they sent another daughter into the palace, Concubine Zhang Gong. Unfortunately, Concubine Zhang Gong only gave birth to two princesses, and she fell out of favor very early. I can see Concubine Sun’s face.”

In the harem of Emperor Deguang in his previous life, Concubine Sun and Concubine Xu Xian fought fiercely, and Prince Ji's biological mother, Lu Zhaorong, was secretly interfering in the middle, but Concubine Zhang Gong was not involved. She lived peacefully in the palace until she died of old age, a few years longer than Emperor Deguang. Of the two princesses she gave birth to, one married back to the Zhang family, and the other married a descendant of an established noble family, equally indifferently.

The Zhang family was once extremely prosperous and produced several generations of concubines, all of whom were born with royal blood. However, they never truly became top dignitaries. They were always just relatives on the fringes of the elite circle. It can be seen that nepotism does not necessarily help the family's rise. His family never paid attention to cultivating sons. Instead, they trained many outstanding daughters. They married everywhere, which was destined to have an unstable foundation.

Hai Jiao has a deep memory of his family because the head of his family married the orphan girl from his brother's family to Jin Wu, the eldest grandson of the second wife of the Jin family, and made a disguised marriage to the Queen Mother Xu and the new king. However, although this girl was very outstanding, she failed to stop the second wife of the Jin family from committing suicide, and in the end she had no choice but to be driven out of the capital together with her husband.

There are rumors that she really wanted to take her son and leave, but the second roommate of the Jin family regarded her as a lifeline and wouldn't let go. She couldn't get support from the Zhang family, so she could only leave with hatred.

If a daughter of the Tang family marries into such a family, you can imagine what will happen to her after her natal family falls into ruin.
