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

Chapter 333 The marriage is abandoned

Even the neighbors and relatives and friends who often interacted with the Tang family knew about the Tang family's anger.

At a time when many of the Tang family's backbones are about to be transferred out, and when the power within the Northwest Frontier Army is declining, the Jin family's attitude has turned cold in the past few days, which is enough to make people angry. Now that his son has caused such a scandal, how can he still be sincere in asking to marry the eldest daughter of the Tang family? Jin Shan's own conditions were not good, the marriage was a high-profile affair, and there was no sincerity, and it was impossible to meet the conditions proposed by the Tang family. So what reason did the Tang family have to continue to fulfill the agreement?

The marriage between the Tang and Jin families was over.

The Jin family came to the door in a hurry, apologizing and asking for changes in conditions. They hoped that the Tang family could postpone the time limit for Jin Shan to obtain the meritorious service. Later, when they saw that the Tang family was in trouble, they brought up the previous private meeting between Tang Hui and Jin Shan again.

However, the Tang family has calmed down a long time ago. They no longer need to worry that Tang Hui's inability to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo will affect the alliance between the Tang and Zhou families. There is no need to consider marrying Tang Ruo into a wealthy family in Beijing. The Tang family has returned to the capital to pave the way.

After the ambitions and petty tricks of the Tang family were exposed, the alliance between the Tang and Zhou families experienced a severe test; and after giving up the connections in the capital brought by the nanny, Tang could only count on the Zhou family if he wanted to remarry in the capital. way out. These things that we wanted in the past are out of the question now.

At present, the Tang family can only rely on their own true ability to survive. Although they have temporarily lost their powerful position in the power center of the Northwest Frontier Army, they have also gained a larger and broader space for development. Now that they no longer need to consider the reputation of the Tang Hui sisters, they have to give in to the Jin family's shameless words and deeds, and their attitude has naturally returned to its original indifference.

They kicked the Jin family out and pointed at Uncle Jin's nose to warn him not to get entangled again. The daughter of the Jin family who married into a branch of the Tang family was immediately locked up and grounded at home. Her parents-in-law and husband issued a final warning. If she spoke for the Jin family again, she should go home with a divorce letter. Her children would never recognize her as their mother again. The Jin girl immediately became honest and never said a kind word for Jin Shan again.

After the Tang family received the transfer order, they did not lose their original position in vain. They recommended military attachés who were good friends with their family as their successors, and exchanged interests with other general families in Chang'an to seek political resources and personal support for the new office. In this way, although they have left, the family members who stayed in the old house in Chang'an can still be protected, and the younger members of the family can still get positions and promotion opportunities in the northwest frontier army.

Among the generals who have exchanged interests with the Tang family are the immediate bosses of the Jin brothers. In order to express their goodwill and support for the Tang family, they quickly warned the Jin brothers.

This is different from the fact that the Tang family had power before but could not threaten the status of the Jin family brothers in the guard house. The boss's warning can directly affect the future prospects and life stability of everyone in the Jin family. No matter how unconvinced the Jin family was, they could only calm down.

The Jin family will definitely not be reconciled to the situation.

Although their family saw that the Tang family had transferred to outsiders one after another, they also felt that the Tang family was no longer helping the Jin family as much as before, and were considering whether to continue to force this marriage, but it was one thing for them to give up on their own, and they were forced to do so by being disliked. Not giving up is another story.

Nowadays, Jin Sun's reputation has been discredited. Even though he still has the reputation of a romantic talent, his typical playboy behavior of competing with others in a brothel, getting jealous and fighting, is also inconsistent with the image of a "talented and passionate poet", so that he lost fans. serious. He was also injured by a notoriously incompetent playboy and had to give up the imperial examination, which made him even more incompetent.

Under the deliberate publicity of the Tang family, he is now a good-for-nothing who only knows how to write a few crooked poems to please the girls in the brothel, but is incapable of defeating any other playboy. No matter how famous he was in the past, his image as a loser has greatly affected his worth in the Chang'an wedding market.

As for the marriage between Jin Shan and Tang Hui, the general families in Chang'an who have friendship with the Tang family will no longer consider him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward for relatives and friends of the two families to meet each other in the future?

Not everyone in a second-rate family is willing to marry their daughter to a romantic and incompetent man just because he looks good and can write a few poems. After all, most of the official families in Chang'an are still martial. Although there are families whose daughters can't be defeated, they may not be high-ranking officials that the Jin family likes. How could the Jin family be willing to let Jin Shan "make do"? It seems that the Jin family can already see that Jin Shan missed the future of marrying a noble girl and helping the entire family to rise.

Thinking of this, the whole family was heartbroken.

They started arguing and blaming each other.

Uncle Jin blamed his son Jin Shan for not being able to bear the loneliness and sneaking away to the brothel without permission, provoking the oiran and offending the playboy who beat others, which led to trouble. When he thought that his future was threatened, he would get angry, shouting that he would take the family law and beat his son severely.

Old Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jin cried and rushed to protect Jin Shan. One said that his grandson was injured and if he was beaten and became disabled, his life would be really ruined. The other said that his son often went to brothels, but It was for the sake of making friends with the local literati, and he never messed with prostitutes. It was the oiran's own indiscretion that caused the innocent good people to be harmed, and it was not the son's fault.

Second Uncle Jin sighed, "How many days has Jin Shan been preparing for the exam at home?" She could no longer bear the loneliness so quickly and ran away to a brothel, which would have ruined the good marriage of the Tang family. If I had known this, I might as well have let my son go! Although his son cannot write poetry, he is also tall and strong. He does not like to hang out with brothel girls, he will not be defeated by playboys, and he will definitely not offend the Tang family.

Mrs. Jin's second wife cried the same old way, feeling that the old lady was too partial to the eldest son. The resources the Jin family spent on Jin Shan were enough to be divided among the second eldest brother's three sons. Since Jin Shan has no hope for the future, the old lady might as well spend more time on her little grandson and hire two good gentlemen to teach them. Maybe she can teach them a better talent than Jin Shan?

Old Mrs. Jin spat at her second daughter-in-law unceremoniously.

She wiped her tears and said sternly to the angry eldest son: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. Brother Shan is talented, but he is just unlucky. If he misses this year's exam, he will end up next year. He is still young, There are plenty of opportunities. For now, it is better for him to concentrate on recuperating from his injuries. When his injuries heal and he studies for another year or two, he will only do better in the exam. As long as he has fame, he will naturally have a future. . Even if you miss the eldest daughter of the Tang family, you can still ask for the daughter of another famous family in the future. If the daughter of Chang'an is not good, then go to the capital to find her. Brother Shan has a future, are you still afraid of the day when you will not be able to take advantage of your son? "

Uncle Jin gradually lost his temper. He still had great confidence in his son. After getting angry, he easily accepted his mother's opinion. But he still issued a strict order to his son: "You are not allowed to go to places like brothels in the future! You have stayed at home and studied for me for the past two years! When will you pass the exam to become a scholar? Those literary friends of yours!"

Jin Shan screamed in agony, but his mother covered his mouth: "My son! It concerns your future, so don't make your father angry. Just be honest and obedient!"

Jin Shan lowered his head reluctantly.

Second Uncle Jin rolled his eyes, then he came to his mother's side and said with a smile: "Mom, since Brother Shan plans to study hard for fame, and in the future he will marry a lady from a wealthy family in the capital, then my niece... look at my How about the boys? It's a good thing to have more relatives. There is no need for our family to think about Brother Shan for all good things..."
