Hearing Fang Mengjin's words, Su Hao really couldn't laugh or cry. He was injured and seemed to have become a piece of meat. Yang Gendi was eager to get him married to Lu Xiuer, and Han Wen was also eager to marry his daughter to him. This
What's the matter?
Also, this kind of marriage proposal should be done by the matchmaker. Why is it that Fang Mengjin is too old and disrespectful to play the role of matchmaker?
Su Hao didn't know that Han Wen was eager to marry his daughter to him precisely because of his heroic rescue of the beauty in Fuyuan Village. After he was injured, Han Qian ignored the precautions of men and women and went to take care of him every day. This was extremely immoral.
It's happened. A man and a woman have experienced this. Even if Han Wen doesn't want to marry his daughter to Su Hao, he has no other choice.
Han Qian took care of Su Hao. She originally didn't plan to tell her, but Honglian was a little girl who couldn't hide things. After Mrs. Han Song asked her several times, Honglian shook off everything about Fuyuan Village.
came out. Hearing that her daughter actually stayed with Su Hao while he was shirtless and recovering from his injuries, and then went to help him wash his face and feed him in person. Mrs. Song almost fainted and quickly called Han Wen to discuss countermeasures.
In those old-fashioned families, if their daughter did such a scandal, the parents would probably even want to beat their daughter to death. Fortunately, Han Wen has always been a relatively open-minded person, and he also had a lot of respect for Su Hao beforehand.
I have some good feelings, so I can accept this matter. Besides, this time, it was Su Hao who sacrificed his life to save Han Qian first, and Han Qian's life was saved by Su Hao. Making such a promise is almost like giving one's life.
His actions are understandable. The most critical issue now is how to deal with the aftermath.
"Qian'er is very passionate about Su Gaizhi. Su Gaizhi is indeed a man of good character. He is able to risk his own life to save Qian'er. This is something that no other man can do. I think that Qian'er
It's okay to promise Su to change it," Han Wen said.
Mrs. Song hesitated and said: "But this Su Hao is just a scholar, and I heard that he also received the title of "Hundred Households". I'm afraid he won't be able to serve as an official in the court in the future, right? If Qian'er marries him, won't she have no future?
Already?"
Han Wen said: "This incompatibility between civil and military affairs was a rule in the time of the Great Patriarch. How can anyone care about this now? Instead, when this matter is over, he plans to get rid of his military status and return to the academy to study and take the exam.
If his talent can be put to use for a period of time, it will not be difficult to gain a reputation. When you married me, wasn't I just a scholar?"
This example was convincing enough, and Mrs. Song stopped dwelling on it. However, she immediately thought of another more serious problem: "Master, there is a child bride in Su Hao's family, the one named Lu Xiu'er.
Girl, what will happen if our Qianer gets married?"
"Of course our Qian'er is the head wife." Han Wen said matter-of-factly, "Lu Xiu'er is a country girl after all, how can she be compared with Qian'er? Qian'er has a very good relationship with Lu Xiu'er, and there will be no embarrassment in getting along together in the future.
of."
"That's right." Mrs. Song nodded and said, "Then I will go find a matchmaker and talk to Su Hao's mother."
"Matchmaker..." Han Wen pondered for a while and said, "Well, I'd better ask Mr. Fang to talk to Su Hao first. If he is interested, let him send a matchmaker to propose marriage."
This is a matter of face among officials. In the society at that time, it was okay for a man to take the initiative to propose marriage to a woman, or for a woman to take the initiative to propose marriage to a man. If the man's conditions were better and the woman was eager to marry her daughter, naturally,
He would ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. This kind of thing is not shameful. But when it comes to Hanwen, it is different. He is the county magistrate. If his daughter marries Su Hao, it is still considered a marriage. If he hires a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, it will
It would be too shameful to go out.
If you let Fang Mengjin negotiate for a marriage, there won't be this problem. Firstly, Fang Mengjin is tight-lipped and will not make the matter public. Secondly, Fang Mengjin is not a matchmaker, and what he says to Su Hao does not belong to the woman.
Offer.
In Han Wen's heart, he was still a little worried, that is, what if Su Hao disagreed. If it were anyone else, if the magistrate wanted to marry his daughter off, the other party would definitely feel flattered, not to mention Han Qian's appearance.
He is good, smart and gentle, and has excellent conditions in all aspects. The problem is that Su Hao is a weirdo. Han Wen has never dared to use common sense to guess Su Hao's thoughts. If he asks a matchmaker to arrange marriage, Su Hao refuses
Well, Korean cannot afford to lose this face.
In this way, Fang Mengjin came to Su Hao's home with Han Wen's instructions. He knew that Su Hao had a straightforward personality, so he didn't go around in circles and stated his purpose straightforwardly.
"This..." As Han Wen expected, when Su Hao heard Fang Mengjin's words, his first reaction was not to be ecstatic and bow his head, but to look embarrassed: "Master Fang, this Han
The young lady is the rich daughter of a distinguished family in the county, and I am just a country scholar. Isn’t there a big gap between our statuses?"
Fang Mengjin said: "What are you talking about? You are only 17 years old, and it is not easy to be a scholar. Do you want you to be the number one scholar now? Mr. Han has a sharp eye and sees that you are so good.
Changing your mind is not something in the pond. If you are willing to marry your daughter to you, why do you hesitate?"
"Is this Mr. Han's intention or Miss Han's intention?" Su Hao asked again.
Fang Mengjin laughed and said: "You changed your appearance. Miss Han is a girl, how can you say what you are thinking? This is naturally what Mr. Han meant. However, Miss Han took care of you when she was in Fuyuan Village.
Youjia, can't you see the friendship in this?"
"Uh..." Su Hao was speechless. In fact, at that time in Fuyuan Village, he felt that Han Qian's behavior was a bit too intimate. If it were changed to 400 years later, it would be a normal thing for men and women to take care of each other like this.
But now it’s the Ming Dynasty after all. A wealthy lady brings tea and water to a young man every day. Hao Tong, Deng Kui, Zhao Luo, Ma Yu and the like have long been unable to stand it. Everyone is looking to Su Hao
He hinted that this was almost Han Qian directly revealing her feelings to him. It would be unforgivable if he didn't marry Han Qian in the future.
"Master Fang, in your opinion, do I have to marry Miss Han?" Su Hao asked tentatively.
Fang Mengjin's nose was almost crooked with anger: "What do you mean by that? Do you think you are still unwilling to marry Miss Han to you?"
"That's not what I meant..." Su Hao said. He didn't know what to say. Frankly speaking, Han Qian was talented, intelligent, cheerful, reasonable, and beautiful. It was indeed exciting, but Su Hao
He always felt that there were some obstacles between him and her, and it was these obstacles that made him hesitate.
One of the obstacles is naturally the identity of both parties. In later generations, Su Hao had met some high-ranking officials and did not pay attention to a small county magistrate at all. But in this life, except for a few military officials
, and eunuch Chang Wu, Han Wen was the biggest official Su Hao had ever seen. He was just a scholar who had just come out of the countryside, and he married a girl from the county magistrate's family. This was really a high ranking.
Another obstacle is Lu Xiuer. Although Su Hao feels that Lu Xiuer is still young and he cannot marry Lu Xiuer for the time being, he has always known that Lu Xiuer is his child bride since he was a child. Even though he is now a time traveler, he still thinks that he is his child bride.
Lu Xiuer should not be abandoned. If he agreed to the Han family's marriage, where would he put Lu Xiuer?
"Master Fang, you may know that the student has been engaged in marriage by his family elders since he was a child. The student's fiancée is the student's sister Lu Xiuer. How dare the student agree to another marriage?" Su Hao said.
Fang Mengjin said: "I have always known about this matter. The laws of the Ming Dynasty do not prohibit men from taking concubines. Girl Xiu'er is gentle and beautiful, and she is indeed a good match for him. You accept her as your concubine, and
It's not an exaggeration. As far as I know, Miss Xiu'er and Qian'er are also close friends. In the future, the two girls will serve the same husband together, and they will probably be very harmonious. There is no need to worry about this change."
"Why does Xiu'er have to be a concubine?" Su Hao said in surprise, "This concubine's status seems to be relatively low, right?"
Fang Mengjin said displeasedly: "Why do you have this question? Mr. Han intends to betroth his daughter to you. You don't want to take Miss Han as your concubine, do you?"
There has to be a first-come, first-served basis, Su Hao murmured in his heart, but he also knew that if he dared to say this, Fang Mengjin would be furious with him. Han Wen was willing to marry his daughter to him, and he didn't even mind if he married him again.
Taking a concubine is already considered a great honor. If he wants Han Qian to be a concubine, it will violate the bottom line of Korean culture. Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for the daughter of an official to become a concubine?
In the Ming Dynasty, wives and concubines were clearly distinguished. If the wife was the master of the family, then the concubine could only be regarded as a slave. The children born to the wife were legitimate children, and the children born to concubines were legitimate children. The inheritance rights of legitimate children and concubines were very different, such as
A hereditary title can only be inherited by a legitimate son. Unless there is no legitimate son, it can be passed on to a concubine.
It makes sense for a woman to fight for the title of head wife when she gets married. Because this title not only affects her own status, but also affects the status of her children. If Su Hao wants to take Han Qian as his concubine, Han Wen estimates that
I would rather strangle my daughter to death than agree to it.
"Xiu'er has been with me for many years, and she has always been prepared to marry me. If I make her my concubine because of Miss Han, wouldn't I be tempted to follow others' influence?" Su Hao said to Fang Meng Jin.
"This..." This time it was Fang Mengjin's turn to be speechless. He and Han Wen had discussed the issue of Lu Xiuer before, and felt that Han Qian as his wife and Lu Xiuer as his concubine were a matter of course, and Su Hao would definitely not do it.
What's your opinion? Who would have thought that Su Hao would actually use such a moral weapon and insist that Lu Xiuer should be his wife.
Su Hao's reasons are also very sufficient. It is very shameful to speak out about following someone's influence. Even with Han Wen's status, he cannot force Su Hao to abandon his fiancée who has been engaged since childhood.
But how could Han Qian become Su Hao's concubine? Fang Mengjin was in embarrassment. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
