Gong Fang called Gong Shuo, and the father and son re-examined their grandson's marriage.
Gong Shuo also didn't expect that the person named Huo Xi would have such a relationship.
"Since the other party can establish such a relationship, it is estimated that the Mu family of Xiping Hou is also on good terms with her family. In this case, Yi'er's marriage to that woman is not considered low-class. Besides, Yi'er also really likes her."
Gong Fang was noncommittal and planned to send his confidants to the capital to investigate.
The marriage of the future head of the Gong family is related to the future destiny of the entire family. A good mistress can be prosperous for three generations. If she is only a hindrance and is not beneficial to the family, the Gong family will not marry someone.
He was a little unhappy when she heard that the head of the family and Gong Shuo skipped her to discuss her son's marriage.
Thinking that a family like theirs needs some connections between the court and China to ensure the long-term prosperity of the family business. It didn't happen. It happened that the younger generation of my natal family got married, so I returned to the He family and talked about it with everyone in my natal family.
Mrs. He's sister-in-law, Mrs. Tang, looked down upon the Huo family.
Gong Ziyi didn't like any of her daughters, and she felt annoyed. She didn't want to see him get what he wanted, and the more he liked him, the less she wanted him to. There was no such thing as deep love in a family like theirs.
Good story. Just family and interests.
Turning his eyes, he said to Mr. He: "Even if that girl from the Huo family raised the emperor's grandson in her home, to put it nicely, she was raising him in her home, to put it badly, it was just a temporary residence. She regarded the Huo family as
The nanny is just a servant, letting her help take care of the child. She deserves to be so highly regarded by your family."
His eyes were disdainful: "Besides, for a six- or seven-year-old boy, even if his father is knighted, it will be many years later if he can succeed in his father's throne. Didn't the news I learned also say that he is in poor health? Is it possible?
It’s hard to even support her. If the princess is gone, everyone will die like a light goes out, let alone a child. You still expect a child to speak for your family?"
He's parents and siblings all nodded in agreement. The child was really too young.
They all spoke up and suggested: "It would be better to find some real relationships that we can build on. We must not wrong Zi Yi."
He looked at her sister-in-law: "Is there any good candidate for my sister-in-law?"
Mr. Tang was a little proud: "There are really one or two candidates, but sister, you are very discerning, so you may not like her."
He's mother scolded her: "Stop playing riddles. Didn't you see that your aunt is getting angry because of Ziyi's marriage?"
When Mrs. Tang took a look, she saw that her sister was indeed much more haggard than before, so she didn't care and said, "As for our Governor of Huai'an, isn't his wife also surnamed Tang? She is as close as my mother's family in the rankings."
Because of the relationship, she followed Uncle Ping Jiang in office and was not familiar with the place in Huai'an. Thanks to me introducing some ladies to her and helping her straighten out all aspects of the relationship. She called me every now and then to talk and relieve her boredom..."
"That's because you are thick-skinned and are trying to flatter me. Otherwise, Mrs. Ping Jiangbo would have known you as Tang? There are so many people named Tang in the world." He's mother teased her.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Tang refused: "Don't worry about whether I am thick-skinned or not. If I hadn't been so diligent with her family, how would our family be cared for everywhere?"
"Yes, you have the greatest credit." He's mother smiled at her.
Mr. Tang was a little proud. Mr. He was anxious and asked her to continue.
"Sister, don't worry, we are about to talk about it. The Tang family gave birth to three legitimate sons, all of whom were promising, so they did not restrict Uncle Ping Jiang from finding women. There are many concubines in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. The Tang family wanted to do this for these
Marriage arrangements for concubines are also a headache. Tell me, if Ziyi brings someone to the Gong family, can your father-in-law not praise you?"
He's eyes lit up.
Pingjiang Bo was in charge of water affairs and was stationed in Huai'an. He was not as good as an official now. Their palace family was in Huai'an. If he could have such a relationship, Ziyi would be protected by his in-law family. How would he be afraid of the bastards in his father's backyard? He would also be worried that his clan members would not obey him.
Tube?
Pingjiang Bojian is in the heart of the emperor and has a hereditary title. Is it no better than that of the Huo family?
The more I think about it, the hotter my heart becomes.
He glanced at Mrs. Tang again and saw that her sister-in-law had given birth to several daughters and only had one biological son. She was still young now, so she was afraid that she would not be able to reach such a high relative, so she was reluctant to tell her.
Otherwise, why hasn't she spoken for so long? It should be because he saw that his daughters had lost hope of marrying Ziyi, and he didn't want to give the other members of the He family an advantage.
After thinking about it, he took Mr. Tang's hand affectionately and said, "If my brother and sister really helped my sister settle this matter, just go and pick out whatever you want, a gold and silver jewelry store!"
"Seriously? You won't regret it?" Tang's eyes lit up.
"It's true." He promised in public.
He's mother took a long look at her daughter-in-law, but she kept the news tightly. She couldn't climb up to her house, and she didn't reveal it to other brothers. The He family also had several grandchildren of the right age.
That's all, the He family is not as good as the Gong family, I'm afraid the Chen family won't look down on it either. Zi Yi is also his grandson.
He smiled at Mr. Tang and said, "You must be serious about this matter. If you can help your aunt to get this done, Ziyi's child will be fine. Not only will your aunt benefit from it, but I will also be indispensable for you here."
.”
"Then thank you, mother. I will definitely tell this matter!" Mrs. Tang looked at He's mother with a smile on her face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It would be fine if her mother-in-law didn't blame her. She didn't want to take advantage of others.
Seeing his grandfather and father relaxed, Gong Ziyi was excitedly waiting for their decision. In his dream, there were red lanterns hanging high and bright red candles illuminating the beauty of the hall. When he woke up, his mouth was grinning.
Who would have thought that his mother went to Chen's house with his aunt without telling him.
Mrs. Tang of Pingjiang Bo had already straightened out her connections in Huai'an. She had heard about the Gong family a long time ago and also knew that the Gong family had an outstanding eldest grandson with outstanding character. Many ladies and ladies were eyeing him and wanted to be with him.
There are a lot of people getting married.
The Chen family had a hereditary title, so they would not marry merchants. But the Tang family had no daughters, and there were many concubines in the backyard. What would be wrong if they could get some betrothal gifts to supplement their marriage?
Besides, the Gong family is a well-known salt merchant in Huai'an and has great prestige. My uncle wants to manage the water affairs of Huai'an and other places. With such powerful in-laws to help him, why worry about the work being difficult to carry out?
There are so many wealthy families related to the Gong family. When the time comes, they will all respond. My uncle has done a good job, but he is still afraid that he will not be favored by the emperor? This kind of thing is beneficial to his family and will also be beneficial to his sons in the future. Why not
for?
There are so many concubines and they haven't decided which one they will be. The wives of the two families have already tacitly agreed with each other and secretly decided on the marriage of the juniors of the two families.
After Gong Fang heard the news, he frowned.
Gong Shuo did not expect that his wife could get into the relationship with Uncle Pingjiang. Although she was a concubine, Uncle Pingjiang had a hereditary title, so it was considered a high achievement for her family to get into this marriage.
"Which concubine is she and what is her character like?"
Although they had a good relationship with Ping Jiangbo, he was just a concubine. Gong Fang was a little worried.
In a large family, the mistress disliked the concubines the most, as she probably didn't even bother to educate them. Gong Fang was quite worried about whether the Chen family's concubines could take on the responsibilities of the Gong family's wife.
The He family members feel happy when happy events happen: "Mrs. Ping Jiangbo is a talkative person. She only said that our Yi'er has outstanding character. She has heard many times that there are four girls in the Chen family to be married. Depending on what our Yi'er likes, let him choose.
.No matter who it is, she gets things done happily."
Gong Fang sighed and said nothing. Thinking that his grandson was still looking forward to an answer from him, he suddenly had a headache.
