So it's better to find someone with a lower family background, so that you can show off the wealth of being a mother-in-law in front of your daughter-in-law!

"You, you are simply, simply~!"

Sheng Hong was angry. He really didn't know what she was thinking. If it was just the two of them, he would have to scold her.But now that the children are all here, I have to save some face for the eldest lady.

Therefore, Sheng Hong did not say "It's so stupid" after all. Instead, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said patiently:

"Haven't you ever thought about it? Even if we don't marry Yoona, our family is still related. We are already helping each other. There is no need to get married."

"If you marry a British official, wouldn't it be like giving Changbai a huge boost out of thin air!"

“Do you think it’s Bai’er’s future that’s more important, or your sister’s Yoona?”

Madam Wang suddenly woke up when she heard this. Although she was unhappy, it was hard to say anything. After all, it was related to her son's future. This sister's daughter was not as important as her own son's future.

In fact, she also understood in her heart that the Wang family was not as good as before, and no one in the Kang family was promising. Not to mention that the inner house was in filth, and there was no capable person to support her in the officialdom. Both families were just guarding the same family status.

It's just that my sister has been lobbying and softening her before, and now I'm afraid she will be embarrassed in front of her again!

······

While the Sheng family was celebrating behind closed doors, the British palace was bustling with excitement, celebrating Lin Hao's winning No. 7!

As for the matter of celebrating Lin Hao, the British father-in-law handed it over to Zhang Guifen, saying that she wanted to train her ability to handle such a big event.

So the entire four streets, two horizontal and two vertical, surrounding the British Duke's Mansion, lit up a circle of firecrackers!

"Crack!" The sound of firecrackers rang out in four streets at the same time, and the British government's momentum was overwhelming!

Of course, a top nobleman like the British Crown Prince does not need to worry about who he offends. He avoids this and that. These are things that others should consider!

Afterwards, he planned to hold a running banquet for three days, so that he could have a meal just by saying auspicious words. This kind of grand operation made many people envious!

While Zhang Guifen was busy outside, Lin Hao received more than a dozen people who were successful in Jinke Jinshi!

These people were all orphans adopted by Lin Hao back then, as well as children recruited from his own farmers. After Lin Hao's teachings over the years, they all now participated in the Spring Festival and came to the Zhang family to congratulate Lin Hao.

Lin Hao naturally entertained them personally. Some of these people were one or two years older than him, and some were several years younger than him.

But they are all Lin Hao's students. After all, they are all people he trained, and they will be of great use in the future.

This time, three of them passed the second-level exams, and 14 of them passed the third-level exams.

Of course, they had dozens of people taking part in this exam, but unfortunately they were all barely ready and had to wait for a while before taking the exam again!

Therefore, this time, only the seventeen people in front of him stood out, and Lin Hao would personally arrange their whereabouts!

Then Lin Hao solemnly said:

"Okay, I have already arranged your respective places for you!"

"Remember that when you get to the place, use the knowledge I taught you to quickly control the place. Wait for my orders in the future and cooperate with me!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Seventeen people responded immediately.

Looking at these young people, Lin Hao smiled and said:

"In addition, I have assigned two communication teams to each of you. If there is anything that cannot be handled, report it to me in time. If I am not available, let the think tank help you!"

"In short, I need you to achieve results as soon as possible. As long as I am here to take care of you, I will make arrangements for your promotion. You don't have to worry about constraints!"

"Okay! Thank you sir, we will go through fire and water without hesitation and will never embarrass you!"

Lin Hao heard this and said with a smile: "Okay, then we won't go home until we get drunk today!"

"Don't get drunk, don't go home!"

These people wanted to get Lin Hao drunk, but Lin Hao refused to refuse anyone who came. He drank until the wine was dry and got so many people drunk!

When the time came in the evening and Lin Hao pretended to be drunk and went back to the room, Zhang Guifen was also called to the living room by the British father-in-law and his wife!

"Guifen, how are you and the eldest son of the Sheng family doing?" the British princess asked casually.

But Zhang Guifen was shocked, and then said shyly:

"Mom and dad, what are you talking about!"

At this time, the British public smiled and said:

"Okay, don't hide it anymore. You think you are doing it secretly. In fact, we have known about this for a long time!"

"Mom and dad, don't you object!" Zhang Guifen said in surprise.

The British princess shook her head and said, "If we really want to object, do you think his letters will enter Zhang's house?"

Now that he has been named to the gold list, your matter should also come to an end, but we don’t know what your plans are!

"Zhang Guifen was embarrassed for a moment, and everyone in the co-author's family knew about it!" Zhang Guifen was immediately ashamed, but she still mustered up the courage to say:

"I just thought that when he was named on the gold medal list, he would come to our house to propose marriage, so that it would not be an insult to our family!"

At this time, the British Duke sighed and said with a serious expression:

"We have no objection to your matter in principle, but you have to think clearly. Your sweetheart's father Sheng Hong, as well as Sheng Hong's father and uncle, are all good at doting on concubines and destroying wives!"

"The situation of our family today is exactly the same as that of Yongyi Hou's family back then. However, we are worried that after you marry, you might become the second, lonely old Mrs. Sheng!"

Chapter 345 rebellion

Faced with her parents’ concerns, Zhang Guifen is full of confidence:

"Mom and Dad, after all, Changbai and I have known each other for several years. She still knows what kind of person he is."

"How many years?" Upon hearing this, the British princess immediately glared at Zhang Guifen and said, "When did it happen?"

Zhang Guifen knew that she had made a mistake, but now she had nothing to hide, so she simply confessed.

"After my eldest brother returned to Beijing after fighting in Xixia, he had a gathering with his classmates from the Sheng family in Fanlou. Sheng Changbai would bring his younger brothers and sisters, and his eldest brother also took me there. We met at that time, and later we communicated through letters. ······!”

Following Zhang Guifen's narration, the British father-in-law and his wife also confirmed their suspicions.

They once checked the Sheng family's files in the attic file room, but they did not find out anything about their daughter and Sheng Changbai.

Only now did they know that Lin Hao not only helped them cover up, but even acted as their messenger!

Since it was Lin Hao who initiated it, and their investigation into Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changbai did not have the legacy of his father and grandfather.

Although their family backgrounds are somewhat different, they really don't care much about family background issues, especially when they think of their son's plans, they don't need to consider family background issues at all!

Although they were reluctant to part with their precious daughter, the couple also hoped that their daughter would be happy, so the British father-in-law said:

"We agree in principle to your marriage!" Looking at his excited daughter, the British father-in-law continued:

"But before that, I still want to warn you. Mrs. Sheng's behavior is admirable, but you must not imitate her!"

"The happiness you will live in the Sheng family from now on is nothing more than that. If your life is unhappy and you really can't live on anymore, just divorce when it's time to divorce without any hesitation!"

"Remember, the British government and the Rongguo government will always be your solid backing!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Guifen hugged her parents movedly: "Don't worry! My daughter is not easy to bully!"

······

Both parents agreed, and then the marriage negotiation process began. So in the next few months, the Sheng family completed the three letters and six rites!

The "Three Letters" refer to the documents used in the "Six Ceremonies", including the Letter of Appointment, the Letter of Ceremony, and the Letter of Welcome.

The "six rites" refer to the entire marriage process from proposal to marriage.

"Six rites" refers to the six etiquette methods, which refer to accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for appointments and personally welcoming.

During the Song Dynasty, the six folk rituals were simplified into four rituals, and asking for names and asking for dates were omitted. However, this did not mean that these two rituals were eliminated. Instead, they were classified into Nacai and Nazheng respectively. In fact, they were still three books and six Rituals are just simplified and merged.

However, high-ranking families like Guan Xungui still adhere to the complete Three Books and Six Etiquettes, so the wedding of Sheng Changbai and Zhang Cuifen lasted for half a year.

When Sheng Hualan got married before, it took the Yuan family several months to complete the three letters and six rituals before marrying Sheng Hualan!

Amidst a burst of noisy congratulations, Sheng Changbai rode a tall horse to the Zhang family of the British government.

After going through a series of procedures, Sheng Changbai picked up the bride, Zhang Cuifen, who was wearing a phoenix crown and harem and holding a fan to cover her face!

Of course, Zhang Cuifen is wearing a green wedding dress. The reason why she wears green is because Sheng Changbai has been selected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and has been admitted to the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy from the eighth rank!

In fact, during weddings in the Song Dynasty, men usually wore red wedding clothes, while women wore green wedding clothes. This was the so-called man and woman.

But there is another situation, that is, if the status of the two parties is not equal, another rule will be followed, that is: if you marry low, you will wear red, and if you marry high, you will wear green.

But the difference between high marriage and low marriage here does not refer to the size of the official position of both parties, or the difference between more and less money, but the class!

For example, the reason why Ru Lan, the second daughter of the Sheng family in the original drama, wore red when she got married was because the two parties were in different classes.

The Sheng family is a family of officials, and Wen Yanjing, who was born in a poor family, has not yet passed the scientific examination, so he is still a white man. This is a typical example for Ru Lan to get married, and she must wear a red wedding dress, otherwise the Sheng family will break the rules!

And Sheng Changbai already has an official status, and both families belong to the gentry class, so they naturally follow the rules of men and women!

······

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since Zhang Cuifen got married. During this period, Lin Hao was quite leisurely.

Six months ago, the emperor took back control of the Imperial City Division from Lin Hao. After all, Lin Hao belonged to the Wuxun family and was the emperor's first defense target!

At the same time, because Lin Hao had already been named on the gold list, the emperor also intended to bring Lin Hao into the civil service group, and also let Lin Hao be selected as a Shujishi and serve as the eighth grade editor of the Hanlin Academy!

After all, the Zhang family has too much influence in the military, and their family's momentum must be suppressed.

Therefore, the emperor was also trying to cultivate the Guhou family and several other Wuxun families to divide the Zhang family's power in the military. However, Lin Hao and his son did not care about this.

During this period, King Yong tried to win over Lin Hao several times and wanted to marry the head of Jiacheng County to Lin Hao, trying to get the two families to get married.

But Lin Hao did not agree to King Yong, and instead had a heated fight with Minglan and Yu Yanran.

Later, King Yong was planning to marry his daughter to Gu Tingye, but Gu Tingye was reminded by the emperor, so the marriage did not happen!

Then King Yong fell in love with Qi Heng, the Duke of Qi, but Princess Pingning was ambiguous in her words. Finally, after asking, she found out that Princess Pingning fell in love with Concubine Rong's sister, Rong Feiyan!

However, Concubine Rong's attitude was immodest. She neither agreed nor denied. She only said that she wanted to think about it again.

Later, when Concubine Rong had a private meeting with Lin Hao, she repeatedly brought Lin Hao and Rong Feiyan together, hoping that Lin Hao would marry Rong Feiyan as soon as possible!

However, Lin Hao said: "Don't worry, the time has not come yet, let her wait patiently for a while!"

Concubine Rong said angrily:

"You ignorant bastard, what's so good about me as an old lady? What's wrong with my Feiyan's pink tenderness? We sisters will serve you together, why aren't you happy anymore?"

Although Concubine Rong tried her best to resist, under Lin Hao's strong suppression, Concubine Rong finally compromised and could only go back and persuade her sister to continue waiting!
