Chapter 1695: Greedy for life and afraid of death, marrying someone from a poor family
The next day.
When Weng Yuan returned home, he could not hide his anger and inevitably began to complain:
"Madam, your niece-in-law is too petty and won't even let me plant a laurel tree. I'd better not have any contact with him in the future!"
"Master, please don't be angry. Maybe those laurel trees are of great significance to Mr. Su and he can't let go of them!"
Mrs. Weng helped with some persuasion. Seeing that the man was still upset, she turned her brows and began to smile:
"Actually, if I really want the laurel tree, there is nothing I can do about it. It depends on whether I am willing to exchange it for the treasure of equal value!"
"A treasure of equal value?"
Weng Yuanwai asked in confusion:
"Madam, how can we find any treasures of equal value in our family?"
"It's your two precious daughters!"
Mrs. Weng did not hide it and said bluntly:
"I'm afraid you haven't noticed that Young Master Su would look at your two precious daughters from time to time during the banquet. I guess that young Mu Ai might have some thoughts. If you are willing to be his father-in-law, a few laurel trees,
It’s not easy to change it back!”
After hearing this, Weng Yuanwai shook his head:
"He already has a wife in his family, and your nieces as concubines. If Changting and Hongting are married, they will only be Mrs. Ru, at most. It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!"
Even if he doesn't consider his daughter, he still has an old face.
After all, the Weng family has always been a scholarly family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. If they let their two daughters from direct marriage become concubines, they will definitely be laughed at.
"Master, there is something I didn't dare to tell you before!"
When Mrs. Weng saw that her man did not listen to the advice, she simply enlarged her tactics:
"Master should know that my three nieces are fox fairies. Aren't you curious as to why my three fox fairy nieces are willing to be concubines for Mr. Su?"
"Why?"
Weng Yuanwai is naturally very curious. It can even be said that he has been curious for a long time.
But because it involved the face of his wife's family, he didn't have the nerve to ask.
Mrs. Weng said bluntly:
"That's because Mr. Su's identity is not simple. I heard from my three nieces that this Mr. Su has already attained Taoism and become an immortal. Now he is just playing in the world of mortals! As long as he becomes an immortal, he will definitely rise to the top. Our daughter will be the one to help him.
If he becomes a concubine, he will also be a concubine for an immortal. When the time comes, your father-in-law will have an immortal son-in-law."
…
Become an immortal and live forever.
This is the obsession of many people!
Mencius once said: "If there is nothing more that people want than to live, then why not use anything that can lead to life?"
From the meaning of this sentence, it is necessary and desirable for a person to use some means that do not violate morality in order to survive.
Is it against morality to find a good husband for my daughter?
It certainly doesn’t violate it!
…
Weng Yuanwai quickly completed his psychological construction and ordered his wife to call his two daughters.
Because it is already late autumn, it is getting cold here in Bianzhou.
Weng Changting, who is naturally beautiful, wears a snow-white thin coat, but still can't hide her slim figure.
When I came to my parents' room, I saw that my sister had already arrived. I quickly said a blessing and then asked:
"Dad, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
"It's something."
Weng Yuanwai looked at the eldest daughter, and for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
You know, within three months since his first wife passed away, he remarried a new wife.
Although there is no lack of food and clothing for the eldest daughter in these years, it is definitely not enough to care about anything.
Now, he has to rely on his daughter to fight for the chance of immortality, and it is inevitable that he feels guilty.
Seeing that her man was silent, Mrs. Weng feared that the plan would change, so she quickly said:
"Changting, it's like this. When your sisters and I saw that your sisters were getting older, we thought of arranging a marriage for you. After all, the male elders are getting married, and the female elders are getting married. As parents, it's hard for us to give in.
You will guard us two old people for the rest of your lives."
Weng Hongting already knew what his mother was going to say, so he quickly spoke first and expressed his position:
"Mom, since ancient times, marriage matters have been decided by the parents and the matchmaker! The parents make the final decision on their daughter's marriage. My sister and I will definitely have no objection!"
Weng Changting was robbed, but he could only nod his head to express his compliance with his parents' decision.
After hearing this, Weng Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief:
"Don't worry, my father and your mother will definitely find you a good son-in-law."
…
This evening.
Su Mingzhe came to Bai Susu's place to rest, and was surprised when he heard a message from Mrs. Weng, saying that he had persuaded Mr. Weng to let him marry Weng Changting:
"Your aunt is very efficient in doing things. She has only been home for two days and she has already finished it?"
"We come from a scholarly family, and we pay attention to three obediences and four virtues. Weng Yuanwai and my aunt have both spoken, and Miss Changting will definitely not object!"
Bai Susu felt a little confused when she thought about two more women beside her man.
Su Mingzhe heard the jealousy in the woman's mouth, and quickly held her in his arms to persuade her:
"Susu, don't worry, I will always remember the kindness of your sisters, and I will never forget the old one when there is a new one!"
"Of course we trust your husband, but when will you do what your husband promised to our aunt?"
Bai Huahua has had a good relationship with her aunt since she was a child, and now she is helping her to get benefits.
"Don't worry, I will keep my husband's word. I will catch that romantic ghost tomorrow and throw him directly into the frying pan!"
As he said this, Su Mingzhe was afraid that the woman would not believe him, so he quickly expressed it with practical actions.
Suddenly, in the bedroom, spring flowers bloomed.
…
the next day.
Su Mingzhe really rushed to Weng's house, caught the romantic ghost and devoured him alive.
Because he did not want to alarm the Weng family, Su Mingzhe remained hidden while doing all this.
Except for Weng Hongting, the little fox fairy with a keen sense of smell, no one else in the Weng family, including Mrs. Weng, noticed anything.
Turn around.
Su Mingzhe invited a well-known local squire to act as a matchmaker and came to the Weng family to propose marriage.
Because Weng Changting married into the Su family, she was a plain wife (such as Madam). To put it bluntly, she was taking a concubine, so a lot of etiquette was missing.
Rao is so.
Due to some specific conditions, it also took Su Mingzhe a month.
For example, when he went to the government to apply for registration, the chief clerk saw that Su Mingzhe was a Taoist, so he asked Su Mingzhe to change his household registration.
And it is clearly stated that according to regulations, if a man wants to marry Mrs. Ping (such as Mrs. Ping), he needs to be over forty years old and cannot have children.
When Su Mingzhe settled in Mojia Town more than ten years ago, his reported age was twenty-five years old. Now that he has calculated it, he is quite old.
And it is true that he has no children.
Therefore, he is qualified to take a concubine.
However, there are a lot of complications involved in changing your Dao registration to ordinary household registration.
In order not to cause trouble, Su Mingzhe directly used money to clear the way.
After spending a small five thousand taels of silver, the bookkeeper relented and registered a new household registration for Su Mingzhe.
Except that it took a little time to do things in the Yamen, everything else went well.
…
One month later.
Su Mingzhe went to Weng Mansion to marry the Weng sisters.
"Sister, are you nervous? I don't know why, but my heart keeps beating wildly..."
Weng Hongting and her sister were sitting in a sedan chair, chattering away, which annoyed Weng Changting.
Although Weng Changting was dissatisfied with marrying a concubine, he did not object fiercely.
After all, on the premise that she doesn't have a sweetheart, she is still willing to abide by her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker.
However, just because she is willing to get married, it does not mean that she has no emotions.
