The charming girl of the farm gate of crossing

Chapter 2533 She will not be manipulated

He Hongjin knew his mother's thoughts too well, he wanted to get an earl to be his grandson-in-law.

The old lady has been secretly competing with her eldest sister all her life, dreaming of overpowering her, but the children and grandchildren in the family are not up to date, none of them are good at studying, and Jiaming...

In short, it is really difficult for her to want the He family, which is a merchant, to surpass the Nangong family, which is a noble family.

You must know that in this world, it is very difficult to cross classes.

Originally, the old lady was hopeless, but today's incident gave her a new idea. If Nangong Han inherits the title, then she will be on an equal footing with the elder sister, at least she will not be oppressed by her again. one head.

With this in mind, the old lady will naturally try her best to facilitate this marriage.

However, He Hongjin thought that the matter was not that simple, "Your Majesty is as strong as a cow, how could such a good-looking man suddenly be critically ill?"

The old lady frowned, "It's been a mess outside for the past few years. I haven't been to Fucheng for two or three years, and I don't know what's going on with him. However, this kind of talk will never be nonsense. Who would curse well?" own children."

A trace of disdain flashed in He Hongjin's eyes, "That might be."

"What do you mean?"

In astonishment, the old lady's eyes widened, "You mean Brother Han, in order to get married earlier, he used his elder brother as a pawn?"

She didn't wait for He Hongjin's response after she finished speaking, and continued, "Impossible, that child has always done things properly, and will not do such unreliable things."

He Hongjin slowly put down the letter in his hand, and said slowly, "During the chaos last year, our Zhuangzi outside the city was harmed by the soldiers, not to mention the food was robbed, and they even set fire to it... ..."

The topic changed quite suddenly, and the old lady was confused. Didn't she talk about the marriage of the two children? Why did you mention Zhuangzi?
Is this distressing?
It's not normal to lose a little money in the chaos of the war, and the He family has a big business, so it won't be hurt by that idea...

Chuang Tzu?

fundamental?

The old lady's heart beat wildly for no reason, "No one cares outside the city, it's only bad luck to encounter such a disaster, as long as people are fine, you can grow food when you run out, earn money when you run out, there's nothing you can't get over."

He Hongjin's eyes were deep, "Yes, there is nothing we can't get through."

His tone was slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm, "The merchants of the He family never count on the output from the Zhuangzi to live, but it's nothing, even if some people live on the income from the Zhuangzi, It's going to be hard to live with the disaster caused by the rebellious army and bandits."

It should not be too obvious which one they are referring to.

The old lady's face was ugly, "You mean they want to calculate the dowry of the fourth girl?"

He Hongjin didn't answer, but said instead, "Mother, don't take an empty title too seriously."

It's all a matter of disappearing, so I'm thinking about it first.

The old lady's complexion was even more ugly, she always felt that his words had a bit of a preaching meaning, which made her ears hurt.

She didn't want to care about the title of the Earl of Laoshizi, but the identity of the He family couldn't be put on the stage.

Back then, if she had listened to her and sent the fourth girl into the palace, she would have stood out from the crowd with her beauty and won the Emperor's Pang. As long as she made her mark in the palace, the He family would no longer need to look at anyone's face.

And she can also feel proud in front of the eldest sister.

Originally, the old lady blamed He Hongjin for not having a back pain while standing and talking, and for not being able to understand her distress, but as her thoughts drifted further and further, she felt bad all over.

"I heard that today's sage is wise and powerful, with a great strategy..."

Xiunu's general election is held every three years. It was originally supposed to be a general election, but there has been no movement until now. Maybe it's because the emperor is busy calming down the court and hasn't thought about it.

But for those who are officials, there will always be someone who will remind the emperor.

He Hongjin looked over with a strange expression, and stared at the old lady, "What kind of eyes do you have?"

"Not to mention whether the imperial court has plans to draft girls, even if they want to, our family doesn't have any suitable ones."

The imperial court expressly required that the selection range of show girls be young girls aged 13 to 15.

He Xiner is now 16 years old, which is beyond her age.

The old lady opened her mouth, and said halfway, "You know how much your aunt values ​​the son, you must not use him as a cover."

Come on, go back again.

It seems that he has not given up yet.

Yes, the old lady didn't give up, her little calculations were rattling, how could she give up.

From her point of view, this marriage is not bad at all. If the son's illness can be cured, He Xiner can gain a good reputation and gain a firm foothold in the uncle's residence.

If the son did not make it through, then Nangong Han would be the proper son, and their family picked a future earl as their grandson-in-law for nothing.

There are accounts on the left and right, so why not do it.

As for He Hongjin, no matter what his considerations were, he would not have so hastily accepted Xiabo's marriage proposal.

If this is considered a marriage proposal.

Although his He family settled in the small place of Lin'an County, they are also a well-known big family in Fucheng, so how could they marry their daughter in a hurry.

Not to mention Chongxi.

And that boy Nangong Han would not agree to make the fourth girl happy.

And more importantly, that girl's temper is stinky and stubborn, and she will not be manipulated by others.
