"What happened to the children of officials? Is there a better marriage?"
"Our Tian family is already rich enough, what kind of royal relatives do we need? Lan Qing is the eldest son of the family. When marrying a virtuous wife, the most important thing is the woman's character. In the future, she will support our Tian family's back house. If she marries
If a woman from an official's family comes to the back house, won't she have to mix up the Tian family's back house and turn it into a puddle of muddy water?"
"Why did it turn into a puddle of muddy water? After all, she is the concubine of the Mo family, and the family tradition is very strict!"
"Hmph, a concubine has seen too much of the harsh world, how can she have a straight mind?"
"What, you still want to marry the daughter of the Mo family? Mo Peizhen is fourteen this year, but she has already been promised! We are just a businessman, how can we marry the daughter of the Mo family?"
"Who said you want to marry your legitimate daughter? You women are short-sighted. We merchants are most taboo about getting involved in the court. You are confused!"
Mrs. Tian was choked by Mr. Tian and said angrily: "This is the marriage your sister has arranged for. If you are not happy, just tell her yourself."
Mr. Tian waved his hand: "I'll tell you, don't worry about it."
Tian Lanqing still didn't say a word. Seeing her father and mother picking up chopsticks again, she continued to eat.
After the meal, the servants came up one after another and put away the food. Mrs. Tian was still indignant and looked unhappy, but Mr. Tian didn't want to talk more, so he stood up and went out for a walk.
As soon as Mr. Tian left, Mrs. Tian began to talk about what was wrong with Mr. Tian.
"Your father doesn't know what he thinks. Such a good marriage, regardless of personality, appearance, family background, is suitable for you. And such a noble family is actually interested in you, it should be a great thing!"
Mrs. Tian was sitting at the table, poking the fruit in the crystal bowl with a small silver fork, and talking to her two sons.
Tian Lanqing ate two pieces of fruit, then wiped her mouth and said to her mother in a gentle voice.
"Mom, have you ever thought about why a family like the Mo family suddenly wants to recruit our Tian family?"
Mrs. Tian was stunned by this question.
"This...isn't it just to look at my son?"
Tian Lanqing shook her head: "My son doesn't think so. Mom, please listen to what I have to say."
"I don't blame dad for not agreeing with this. It's really strange. Why would the Mo family suddenly care about the marriage of a concubine? Concubines have always been a pawn for wealthy families to make alliances and maintain relationships. The Mo family has all the power
The government and the public must have many opportunities to use this chess piece, and they will never plan a marriage for a concubine simply because she considers her future happiness."
Mrs. Tian frowned: "That means... you are interested in our family's money?"
Tian Lanqing nodded: "You can say that. But, mother, have you ever thought that Master Mo's family is rich and he never worries about money, so why would he suddenly take a fancy to our family's money?"
Mrs. Tian was stunned when she was told this. She had never thought of so much.
Tian Lanqing tapped his fingers lightly on the table. There was no servant around him. His voice was low and he said slowly: "Master Mo is very ambitious. No one in the court knows about it. Even the emperor has some ideas about it."
Take precautions. Now Grand Master Mo is secretly trying to show his favor to our Tian family, promising him a concubine, and from now on he will be able to control the economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty with one hand. And our Tian family is on the side of Grand Master Mo in disguise."
The more Mrs. Tian listened, the uglier her face became.
When Tian Lanqing said this, he paused and finally said: "Be afraid, just be afraid. Master Mo's move has profound meaning, and there will be big moves in the future."
