Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Men's Marriage
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone applauded the old lady in their hearts.
Today, it is just a banquet for relatives and friends in the Marquis' Mansion. Mrs. Mu's words are too annoying. Besides, the Marquis' Mansion is not still a little marquis. She has already supported the entire Marquis' Mansion at such a young age. What else does Mrs. Mu have to say?
Mrs. Mu was looked back by the glances that everyone glanced at from time to time, and quickly said "Yes".
Mrs. Guo sat next to her and frowned as she watched the scene just now.
She stayed in the military camp for a long time, and the rude men in the military camp had to speak directly, so she developed a straightforward and straightforward temperament.
"Madam Mu, I heard that your parents' family has more daughters and fewer men. Have your parents' sisters been married?"
Mrs. Guo's words immediately made Mrs. Mu's face turn blue and white. Her mother did have many sisters. Her mother was a real wife, but she gave birth to three children in a row and was a girl. Later, his grandfather and grandmother married two concubines for her father to have a boy. But a year later, the children born to the two concubines were still girls. It was not until Mrs. Mu was about to go to school that his father had the first boy.
Suddenly, the mansion fell into jubilation. Mrs. Mu was ignored, which led to her and her wedding ceremony being held in a hurry. His father spent all his energy on his son. There were more than a dozen daughters in the family, so Mrs. Mu's marriage was set by his grandmother in a hurry. Originally, according to Mrs. Mu's family background, she could marry a man of a higher family, but under the ignorance of her grandmother, she entered the Mu Mansion to be Mrs. Mu.
Because of the environment in which Mrs. Mu lived since childhood, after she got married and became pregnant, Mu Xiuji immediately raised her head and chest out. She beat the man in one fell swoop. She returned to her parents' home and stood up straight in front of her sisters. She looked down on the most daughters in the family, and she always laughed at her for a few words when she met her.
It is refreshing to ridicule others, which has given her a lot of pleasure, but when she is brought out by others, it feels bad.
The person mentioned is the wife of Zhenguo, who must be respected by the entire court.
Her little Mu Mansion is nothing in front of the General’s Mansion of Zhenguo.
Mrs. Mu endured the humiliation and tried to squeeze out a smile to return to China, "It's not yet, the 15th and 16th sisters are not married yet."
Everyone was shocked when she said this. Mu Xiuji was already twenty years old, and Mrs. Mu was at least thirty-five or sixteen. Her parents' sisters were still unmarried, and the ranking was sixteen or seventeen. It can be seen that there were really many girls. Fortunately, the girls had been taken out by the second lady Shen Xinwen, otherwise these words would be bad for the girls who were not yet married to hear them.
The ladies sitting around all looked curious and surprised at Mrs. Mu. Mrs. Mu's face turned red and her neck was thick, but she could only hold it in her throat and could not vomit it out if she retorted.
Seeing that the effect was almost the same, Mrs. Guo turned around and asked Mrs. Shen with a smile, "Old Madam, is the young marquis now seventeen? It's a good time for getting engaged at this age."
The old lady didn't expect that Mrs. Guo would suddenly ask about Shen Yuntang's marriage.
If Shen Yuntang was a man, she would probably not wait until Shen Yuntang was fifteen years old, so she would have to stare at the famous daughters in the Yanjing prefectures. If she could not have been seventeen years old, the marriage would definitely be settled.
But who said Shen Yuntang is a daughter who disguises herself as a man? How dare the old lady find her a wife?
Both the Madam Guo and the Yongxing Marquis Mansion were royalists, but the Madam Guo did not show it, but stood in the dark. The Madam Yongxing Marquis Mansion was in the dark, and the two families had always maintained close contact. Madam Guo would not say such things at this time, which only means that Madam Guo was very concerned about Shen Yuntang's marriage and was interested in participating.
Mrs. Shen has lived in Yanjing for so many years. She has controlled the inner house of the Hou Mansion and has never let anything go wrong. Even the matter of Chen Yuntang dressing up as a woman has never been revealed. If she hadn't been old and in poor health, the old lady was a good master in the hosting of the gift. How could she not hear what Mrs. Guo said implied?
Thinking of the girl who had just followed Mrs. Guo, the old lady suddenly realized that she was afraid that Jiang Zhongwei was not interested in Atang, so Mrs. Guo came to her to test it.
If Chen Yuntang was a man, this marriage would be a must, but... there is no if in this world.
Even if Mrs. Guo was a member of their same boat, the old lady could not tell her about this secret, so he could only think of other ways to refuse secretly.
The old lady smiled and said, "Mrs. Guo, that boy Atang just took over the Hou Mansion this year, and the burden of the entire mansion fell on him alone. It's really not easy. Her grandfather and I want to wait for the past two years to hold on and wait for everything to stabilize before we talk about her marriage. Besides, her father passed away this year, and it's not good to talk about her marriage now. By the way, when you talk about Atang, I think of Zhenchuan's child. He is not young anymore. You need to worry about his lifelong affairs. I don't know whose daughter has such a blessing to marry into the General's Mansion."
Although the Great Yan Dynasty valued filial piety, it was not rigid. There was no law that stipulated that close relatives died and children and grandchildren should be mourned for three years. In most aristocratic families in Yanjing, the elders in the family passed away, and they were mourned for one year. One year was acceptable for most young men and women, and it would not affect the marriage of young people in the family. During the mourning period, officials did not need to be suspended. As long as they asked the court for one month's bereaved leave, they could still return to the court normally after the bereaved leave.
When the old lady said this, Mrs. Guo was slightly stunned and understood what she meant. I am afraid that the old lady had no idea about the marriage between the two families.
Do you think they are in poor health?
Or is there something else in the Hou Mansion?
After Mrs. Guo investigated Mrs. Shen's tone, she no longer asked in depth. The General's Mansion was a well-known family. If others were unwilling to do so, she insisted on promoting this marriage, which would be unbeautiful.
"That boy Chuan'er is indeed not young. When we were in the south, I wanted to find a suitable marriage for him, but I was worried that after returning to Beijing, the girl followed Chuan'er away from home thousands of miles away and missed her close relatives, so she wanted to wait to go to the capital and find him again. This delay has been delayed until now. If you have a suitable daughter, please introduce us to Chuan'er." Mrs. Guo asked for an introduction generously, and the eyes of the ladies around her lit up.
Everyone knows that Jiang Zhenchuan is not the grandson of Mrs. Guo, but he is adopted by the sidelines. But so what? The General's Mansion has no other men. In the future, this huge General's Mansion will not belong to Jiang Zhenchuan alone.
As long as you can marry Jiang Zhenchuan, you can have the power and status of the General's Mansion in the future, which is much better than the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, which is currently not visible.
When Mrs. Mu heard that Mrs. Guo asked someone to introduce the daughters of each government to Jiang Zhenchuan, she was also moved.
Her son Mu Xiuji is twenty years old this year, and the marriage has not been decided. She is so confused that she has never seen anyone she thinks is suitable. Otherwise, the old lady at home would not have been irritated by illness and went to pick up two cousins to the mansion.
Although not all the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles today, they are much better than those introduced by mother-in-law. I didn’t see that the wife of the country asked them to introduce their daughters in the boudoir!
