Zong Tianbao was a little confused, and he didn't even bother to invite his friends to go out.
I can't read the book anymore, and I get bored looking at everyone.
Zong Yuwei, the second daughter of the Zong family, also got married and got married in the capital, so it was not as difficult to let go as the Xu family.
But after all, there was one person missing, and Mrs. Zong inevitably felt deserted.
Zong Huanzhang was also at home that day. He mentioned that a few days ago, there was a fight between two families in the capital over the purchase of a Dawan horse, and a slave was killed, causing a storm in the city.
The Holy Father knew about it and gave orders to the two fathers and brothers during the morning court meeting.
"I think Tianbao should be extra careful now that he is working in front of the palace. He has had a wild temper since he was a child, and he always likes to wander around in gangs. I have to tell him a few words to never cause any trouble," said Lord Zong.
"What I'm saying is that I've also heard about it. It caused a commotion all over the city, which really doesn't look good." Mrs. Zong was a virtuous person and knew that spoiling a child is like killing a child, so even though she only had one son, Zong Tianbao, she never
Willing to pamper him.
Of course, she didn't want to be too strict, and there was no point in controlling her children like they were avoiding cats and mice.
Mrs. Zong was about to send someone to invite the young master, but when she saw Zong Tianbao coming by himself, she couldn't help but smile: "Your ears are not so quick to respond. I was just about to send someone to invite you."
Lord Zong always showed his majesty as a father in front of his son. He had already made a serious face and scolded: "We are all servants in front of the emperor. Why don't you become more stable and capable? I am unhappy.
Who else is dissatisfied with your wishes?"
Zong Tianbao just bowed his head in greetings and refused to say anything unnecessary.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zong had no choice but to cover up for him: "Master, don't lecture him, he has been like this since his second sister came out of the cabinet. You also know that this child is sincere. He cried when her eldest sister got married.
Half a month. Even though she is older now, I must be feeling a little bit sad about letting her go."
When Zong Huanzhang heard what his wife said, he felt that his previous words were a bit harsh.
But he couldn't apologize to his son, so he had to say: "That's all, I still have some deep brotherly love for you. But marrying a man and a woman is a moral code and a matter of course. You are so old, you should understand. Your second sister is getting married.
It's a happy event, and besides, your husband's family is very close, so you can see her whenever you want. It would be really sad if it were like some people marrying thousands of miles away and not being able to see each other for years."
"Father, mother, why did you marry your second sister to the Mei family?" Zong Tianbao hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to ask.
"Silly boy, why are you asking about this matter?" Mrs. Zong smiled, but still explained patiently, "The Mei family has been a scholar for generations, has a pure family tradition, and has well-behaved children. Besides, your father and Mr. Mei have been friends for many years, so you know
Your sister will definitely not suffer any consequences if she gets married. Besides, your sister is also satisfied with it, so this is the marriage."
"So that's it," Zong Tianbao looked much better after hearing this, "Do we have to be willing to get married in our family?"
"Although it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, it still has to be consensual. Isn't it sweet to be forced?" Mrs. Zong said, and then she felt that something was wrong, "Okay, why do you ask this?"
Zong Tianbao was upset because when his second sister got married a few days ago, many elders in the family talked about his marriage.
Many people zealously want to secure a match, and even want to meet him immediately.
Zong Tianbao was only seventeen years old, not yet ready to start a family. However, there were many people getting engaged at his age, especially those who were the only children in the family.
But he already has someone in his heart, so he is naturally angry when he hears others writing random Yuanyang music.
But it is difficult for a young man to express his thoughts openly, and he just suffers in his heart.
But he was afraid that one day his parents would make the decision for him and choose someone he didn't like.
So I wanted to let my parents know in advance.
"I just want to say that in the future, when I choose a wife, I must choose someone I like. Otherwise, if you force me to make the decision for me, I will not agree to it, life or death." Zong Tianbao thought about it, even risking a beating.
, he also has to tell the truth.
Zong Huanzhang and his wife couldn't help being surprised when they heard what their son said.
All along, they thought that their son was still at a chaotic and innocent age, did not understand the relationship between men and women, and was just messing around. Who would have thought that today he would take the initiative to mention his life-long events.
The couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Zong spoke up: "If you had to choose, which girl would you choose?"
"I...I like Jiang Nuan." Zong Tianbao felt that his whole face was on fire, but he still managed to speak out, "Her maternal grandfather's family is also a family friend of ours, and her maternal grandfather is our family's benefactor.
Besides, you have all met Jiang Nuan, and you know that she has the best temperament and heart."
"Shut up, stop talking." Zong Huanzhang interrupted his son in a deep voice, "You two are not suitable."
"Why?" Zong Tianbao was stunned for a moment, "What's inappropriate?"
"Tianbao, listen to mother. Ah Nuan is indeed a good girl, but people like ours have to consider a lot when choosing a bride. There are many things here that you can't understand at a young age."
But Zong Tianbao couldn't listen to a word, and said in an urgent tone: "I know, don't you just dislike the Jiang family's low status and insufficient official position? Furthermore, you think Jiang Nuan has a wild temperament and is not like ordinary ladies.
You are so delicate, I am afraid that she will embarrass you by marrying her."
"Nonsense! It seems that I really spoiled you!" Zong Huanzhang was so angry that he slammed the table, "You don't listen to your parents and just want to make your own decisions. Who gave you the courage?!"
"I don't need anyone to give me courage, I just want Jiang Nuan! You also know that melons that are twisted are not sweet, so why do you have to force me to eat bitter melons?" Zong Tianbao frowned and argued hard for Jiang Nuan.
"Do you still know how shameful you are? You keep mentioning other girls' names!" Zong Huanzhang was so angry that he wanted to beat his son, but he also thought that he would have to work in the palace tomorrow, which would make people look bad.
"Tianbao, how can you talk to your father like this? You are seventeen years old, and you can no longer be willful. You two need to calm down first. What can you do if you argue in anger?" Mrs. Zong knew her son's feelings well.
He has the same temper as his father. When he gets angry, he can be as tough as a donkey.
"You are still young, and your marriage is not in a hurry. Just take care of your errands and let's talk about the future." Zong Huanzhang did not want to argue with his son on this matter.
"It's okay not to mention it. Then don't mention it from any family. But if you mention it, it must be Jiang Nuan. No matter how many years go by, I only want her." Zong Tianbao gave up.
He also knew that there was a huge gap between Jiang Yin's family and his own family. If he didn't be tougher, there would be no hope.
