NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70:
Eating without talking or sleeping without talking is the dining rule of aristocratic families.
The lunch ended in silence. Wei Heng took a short rest and went to the front yard.
Jiang ordered away the two concubines who were waiting on her, leaving only mother and daughter in the room.
"Auntie," Wei Hanzhang took over Shen's work, and while massaging Jiang's shoulders, he asked in a low voice, "Why did grandma call you this morning?"
"You child," Mrs. Jiang stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, tapped her forehead, and said angrily, "I really think that your grandmother's place is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. You can eat my mother up."
Wei Hanzhang covered his forehead and made a grievance: "Isn't my daughter worried about you?"
Mrs. Jiang sighed: "You are about to get your haircut. Shouldn't you change your frivolous temper? When you marry someone else's wife in the future, you will not be as good as when you were in the boudoir. The wife of the house should be prudent and not act rashly." ”
"...My marriage..." Wei Hanzhang's heart tightened slightly when he heard it, and he frowned and said, "Didn't my daughter just have her engagement annulled? Everyone in Beijing knows everything."
How can it be so easy to find new suitable candidates?
"Your sixth sister's wedding is coming soon, and you will be the only legitimate daughter left in the family. However, there have been some twists and turns in the marriage, so naturally you should be more concerned."
Jiang pushed the wind-blown hair behind her daughter's forehead and said softly: "When a man marries a wife with a bad temperament, he can still have a few concubines to comfort him, but girls can't. In a girl's family, the most important thing in life is It's important, your parents have to choose a suitable husband for you."
"Aren't you curious why your grandmother called me? It doesn't hurt to tell you."
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Jiang said, "Your aunt comes from the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion. She wants to find a matchmaker for you and introduce you to her nephew, the youngest son of the Crown Prince Yongchang Marquis."
"They are all in-laws who have close contact with each other. I have met the young man and his wife a few times." After saying this, she thought for a while and said: "I vaguely remember that he is a handsome young man with good manners and words. Since your aunt has come forward to protect her, He is a matchmaker and must have good character.”
Jiang's and Qian's sisters-in-law have been in love for twenty years, and they have never been in love. Wei Hanzhang is now Jiang's only daughter. Her marriage is a top priority in Jiang's eyes. Who dares to introduce her to her? It's easy to get along without hesitation, but it's easy to fall out with someone.
Qian is not a person who ignores important matters, but with the Gu family's lessons learned from the past, Jiang did not nod easily. At this point, she looked at her daughter beside her, and was about to ask her what she thought, but she saw that she looked normal just now. My daughter, her face was stiff at this moment, and she seemed to be in a daze.
"Ran Ran?" Jiang frowned slightly and raised his hand to touch her daughter's forehead: "But it's hot on the road?"
"My daughter has just broken off the engagement, and she doesn't want to discuss marriage yet." A gentle touch was placed on his forehead. Wei Hanzhang blinked, fearing to reveal the emotion in his eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Besides, I have the Seventh Sister above me. Is it? She is still one year older than me, so she should be more anxious. "
"How can she compare with you," Mrs. Jiang said angrily, not noticing that her daughter's tone was unnatural, "Qiniang is a concubine born by my concubine. She looks pretty good, but her temperament is too timid and too timid to be a big wife. The rules Her etiquette is mediocre and mediocre, so you take her seriously."
“…Is it difficult for a big lady?” Wei Hanzhang was stunned and said in shock: “Seventh sister’s marriage…is she to be a concubine?”
"Your father told me a few days ago that it was Qiniang's marriage. Your grandfather had already made an idea and asked me not to find a wife for her." Jiang said, "Your grandfather interfered in the marriage of the concubine in the family. It’s definitely not a good match.”
No wonder Jiang made such a guess, and it was right. With Wei Ping's family background, Wei Hansu's family background would definitely not be enough for the position of a head wife. Since he had made arrangements, it could only be a concubine. Whose family did your granddaughter become a concubine for?
In the original work, Wei Hansu, the daughter of the heroine, ended up entering the palace as a concubine. Wei Hanzhang couldn't remember which palace it was. However, although the concubine of the palace was also a concubine, she was a concubine in Yudie, which is quite interesting. A concubine with status.
How... Seeing her daughter frowning, Jiang on the side said: "Don't worry about your concubine. Your grandfather is willing to offer his granddaughter as a concubine. There are only a few clans."
Wei Hanzhang was still a little puzzled.
Even a concubine in a prince's palace cannot be a concubine. Even if she enters a prince's palace as a concubine, it will look like flattery to others. Moreover, she is just a concubine. If she is sent into the palace, she will not become a real in-law. If you look down on it, you will lose more than you gain.
But, having said that,...the original novel doesn’t mean that a mistress is more valuable just because of her daughter, right?
Wei Hansu entered the palace as a concubine, which can be regarded as a sacrifice for the Wei family. Can Mr. Shen benefit from his daughter? .
That's not right. Even if Wei Hansu becomes the concubine of a certain prince, she is just a concubine. It is not enough for a family like the Hou Mansion, which respects the most rules, to correct the concubine family, right?
Just as she was wondering, Mrs. Jiang whispered again: "From Yiweiniang's point of view, the only clan members who have been close to the mansion these days are Prince Yan's Mansion and Prince Heping's Mansion. No matter who these two families are, as Qiniang, they are concubines." It is also a good future. Once a noble son is born, it is not impossible to be promoted to a concubine. "
The word "guizi" was deliberately emphasized by Jiang. Wei Hanzhang understood it and suddenly understood a lot.
If so, it makes sense.
Compared with marrying as the head wife of a family with a lower family background than the prince's house, a slightly ambitious woman may find the possibility of entering the prince's house to gain a concubine to be a good way out.
Especially since the current crown prince, who is twenty-five years old, has not chosen a concubine yet. Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare not say much, privately, they may have already speculated whether their wise and powerful Highness has something unspeakable...
Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why the East Palace has no heirs and why the prince, as the crown prince, still does not accept a concubine.
Many “far-sighted” politicians have already laid out their chess pieces many years into the future.
If the prince has been reluctant to accept a concubine and there are no heirs in the East Palace to inherit the throne, then it is inevitable to choose a successor from the clan.
Is this the real reason why Wei Ping is willing to give his granddaughter as a concubine?
If you can't take the right path, try taking a long way around. If you make a mistake, you will lose a concubine. If you go wrong, Wei Hansu will give birth to a "noble son" and be valued to inherit the throne...
Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat. According to the direction of the original work... this is really possible!
So, this is the reason why in the original work, Shen, a mediocre concubine, was promoted to be his wife by the Marquis who valued such rules.
…Then, based on this inference, Xiao Boqian in the original work is not really childless, right?
But he always looked like he couldn't help but flirt with her, and he didn't look like a man who was so indifferent to women that he didn't even care about his children.
Suffering from a hidden illness?
It’s even more unlikeable. You still want to kiss her when she has a hidden illness?
If she didn't run away, there's no telling what he would do next!
