Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 29 Arrangement
When Mrs. Liu saw her mother-in-law looking at her, she became more respectful and reserved, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare. Mother, after what happened at Chengguo Palace, my daughter-in-law has deeply reflected on herself and will never make her own decisions again in the future."

Mrs. Tai nodded when she saw that Mrs. Liu had learned a lesson.

"Are you willing to let your daughter marry far away from Yunzhou?"

Tang Jinglin accompanied her husband-in-law to live in the south of the Yangtze River for three years, and the wife really missed her daughter. Now that her son-in-law has taken over the post of Guanglu Temple, the wife is finally relieved.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is about to tell you about this." Mrs. Liu quickly informed the wife of her sister-in-law's plan.

"My sister-in-law is also interested. In the spring of next year, if my son-in-law is among the top three in the first-class examination, he can stay in the Imperial Academy in Kyoto to complete his qualifications; however, if he is ranked outside the first-class, he will be selected based on his political achievements."

Mrs. Liu had been overjoyed when she heard her elder sister-in-law told Ming Cheng to get married in Kyoto. Only when she heard the Tai Fu's words did she realize that her eldest nephew's marriage was not an option.

"Thank you, mother, for the tip. When my daughter-in-law heard that Mingcheng was getting married in Kyoto, she got carried away with joy. She didn't think as comprehensively as her mother. She said, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure." Mother is really the anchor of our family."

Madam Tai saw that Mrs. Liu could listen to advice, so she didn't worry in vain. To sharpen one's skills, one must proceed step by step.

"My son-in-law looks like a talented person, and his conversation is elegant and meaningful. I am happy to see him. But marriages between children are about fate. Xuan'er will have hairpins in the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month. I'm afraid I can't wait until my son-in-law is in high school before discussing marriage."

"Mother is absolutely right."

……

After Duke Rongguo returned from the government office, he was invited to Songhe Courtyard by his wife.

"Mother, are you feeling better today?" Duke Rong Guo asked with concern.

"It's much better. People get sick more easily when they get older than when they were young." After all, the wife was pretending to be sick at that time. She was afraid that her eldest son wouldn't be cruel enough and couldn't say much, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

"You have informed Xuan'er about the Jiang family's engagement, right? What is Xuan'er's plan?"

Duke Rong Guo had not been able to talk about the matter with Mrs. Liu in the past two days because of his lack of energy and energy.

"Mom, Xuan'er is grateful for her father's original teachings and doesn't want her father to break his promise. Jiuquanxia is also uneasy and has agreed to the Jiang family's marriage."

His daughter has great righteousness and gratitude. Duke Rong is very relieved to have a daughter like this.

"Xuan'er has always been a good and sensible child." The wife was also very pleased with her granddaughter's reply.

"Mother, my son later thought that the original agreement between father and Mr. Jiang did not specify a candidate. Our family can also marry a daughter of the Jiang family."

Duke Rong Guo has asked people to inquire about the situation of Yongninghou Mansion in the past few days, and it is not impossible to do something about it. "Oh? What do you say?" Madam Tai also supported her granddaughter's idea of ​​marrying a young son, but the marriage with the Jiang family was not her choice after all, so she always cared about it.

"Marquis Jiang has a concubine who is 13 years old and 2 years older than Wen Bai. It is appropriate to ration Wen Bai."

The suggestion put forward by Rong Guogong is not impossible, but in Ling Guo's marriages, men are more likely to be older than women, and the reverse is rare.

The madam frowned and said nothing, waiting for her son to continue. Rong Guogong also knew that this would damage Tang Wenbai's reputation. After all, only those from poor families or those with disabilities usually married women older than themselves.

"The second master of the Jiang family also has a daughter. She is 12 years old this year. She is a legitimate daughter. The only suitable son-in-law in our house is Brother Song."

Tang Wensong is the eldest son of the Rongguo Palace, and will inherit the Guogong Palace in the future. Mr. Jiang Er has already separated the palace and lived alone. His eldest daughter will be the wife of the eldest son of the Guogong Palace, and her status is somewhat low.

In fact, in theory, the official positions of Second Master Tang and Second Master Jiang are similar. Tang Wenyun and Second Master Jiang's legitimate daughter are more suitable. However, the Duke Rong's family has not yet been separated. In comparison, Second Master Tang's legitimate daughter has a higher status.

The marriage contract made by the old Duke was supposed to be borne by everyone in the Duke Rong's palace, but as the eldest son inheriting his father's title, Duke Rong did not want to involve his second brother's family.

Mrs. Tai also thought about this. Seeing that her eldest son did not mention Brother Yun, she understood his painstaking efforts.

"Brother Jiang's legitimate daughter-in-law, Brother Song, has a low status and may not be qualified to be the mistress of a high family." The wife directly refused to marry Tang Wensong to the Jiang family.

The marriage reached a deadlock again. The mother and son were silent for a long time. The wife suggested: "Call everyone over tomorrow to discuss it."

The next day, all the couples from the third bedroom of Duke Rongguo's mansion gathered in Songhe Courtyard of the Tai Furen.

"I asked you to come here today because of a marriage contract." Madam Tai asked Duke Rong to briefly inform everyone about the old affairs of Duke Rong and Lord Jiang, as well as the marriage contract.

Because Mrs. Liu knew it in advance, she kept her composure this time and waited for everyone's reaction.

However, after Duke Rong Guo finished speaking, neither the second-bedroom couple nor the third-bedroom couple responded.

Don't you think it's too unfair for Xuan'er to be paired with that dandy Jiang Shunian?

In fact, Liu made some mistakes and blamed a few people.

The reason why Mr. Tang looked solemn and silent was because this was the marriage contract made by his father back then. Since the Jiang family brought it up, he should agree to it. As for whether his eldest niece was aggrieved or not, Mr. Tang really couldn't think of it at the moment.

The second wife Zhang was silent because she always listened to her elders and her husband on such important matters. At the same time, she was glad that her daughter was still young and would not be a suitable match for Jiang Shunian. As for her eldest niece marrying Jiang Shunian, she was Zhang felt a pity and a little gloating in her heart. She was afraid of leaking traces and could only reduce her sense of existence even more.

Mr. Tang San had already known that the marriage between his eldest niece and Jiang Shunian was approved by both hands and feet in the Duke's palace. However, he was afraid of being beaten by his mother and eldest brother, so he could only pretend to frown and look in deep thought.

The third wife, Xiao Shao, also heard her husband mention the engagement earlier. Her eldest niece has a temperament similar to hers but is more transparent and intelligent than hers. Marrying Jiang Shunian is the same choice as marrying her cousin. , Facts have proved that I am living a good and comfortable life.

When Duke Rongguo saw that everyone was silent, he continued: "I have asked Xuan'er about this matter, and Xuan'er is also willing to marry into the Jiang family."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Rong Guogong again. Does this tell us that the marriage has been decided?
Mrs. Tai took over the conversation at this time and said to everyone: "Boss and I have been thinking about it for a few days. The marriage contract is dead, but the person is alive. Our family can marry off the daughter, and we can also marry the Jiang family's daughter in."

After hearing what Mrs. Tai said, everyone had different reactions. Some were happy, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, and some were disappointed.
Mrs. Tai continued: "Marquis Jiang only has a concubine, who is 13 years old, and is unmarried. Mr. Jiang Er has only one legitimate daughter, who is 12 years old and is unmarried."

After everyone compared it, Tang Wenhong of the third bedroom didn't count because he was young, and the rest were the sons of the eldest and second bedroom.
