Chapter 256

All households in the capital also hurriedly sent people out to inquire about the authenticity of the news, and each of them guessed in their hearts the real purpose of Lord Zhen Guo's move.

Only a few family members in the Yongping Hou Mansion know the truth of the matter. They wish to tell the world immediately and ruin Duke Zhen Guo's reputation, but they only dare to think about it in their hearts, let alone the aggrieved energy.

The Office of the Minister of Rites.

After listening to the servant's report, Meng Shangshu and Mrs. Meng fell into silence for a long time.

Originally, they saw that Ning Zhiyuan's official position was promoted step by step. Although his family background is not good, but his own ability is strong, and he was born in Tanhua, which will also help Yun Qi to get into an official position in the future. This led to the marriage of the two families.

Who would have imagined that Ning Zhiyuan was so stubborn and upright that he offended His Majesty, was dismissed from office, and was sent to the countryside. How could they allow a commoner's daughter to marry into their family.

And maybe His Majesty still hated the Ning family, and they wanted to stay away from the Ning family even more, so they immediately resigned from the marriage, even Meng Yunqi pleaded repeatedly, but failed to change their decision.

But now Ning Zhiyuan has not only been restored to his original position by His Majesty, even Ning's mother has changed, from the downcast eldest daughter of the sincere uncle's mansion to the righteous daughter of Zhen Guogong. They have not recovered from the shock until now. Is it more nonsense than what is written in the script?

The two looked at each other, both seeing regret in each other's eyes.

If the two of them hadn't divorced at the beginning, not only could they become in-laws with the Ning family, but they could also become in-laws with the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion indirectly. By then, would he have the possibility to go further?

Speaking of it, although Meng Shangshu is a first-class minister of the Ministry of Rites, as we all know, the Minister of Rites is just an idle job, which is completely incomparable with other ministers, especially in terms of real power. This is why Meng Shangshu has been thinking about going further. You can't be promoted, and you can transfer to another department at a level.

It was Mrs. Meng who reacted quickly, "Since the Ning family is back now, and the son is still obsessed with the girl from the Ning family, why don't we go to the Ning family to talk about this marriage again?
At the beginning, the girl of the Ning family also had feelings for her son, and brother Qi always favored brother Qi, but as long as we bring this matter up, I guess the Ning family will definitely agree. "

Meng Shangshu didn't say a word, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

But before he nodded, the door of the study was opened from the outside.

"Father, mother, you don't need to think about this matter."

It was Meng Yunqi.

Mrs. Meng exclaimed, "Why? Didn't you ask your mother to marry the girl from the Ning family before you fought for the high school entrance examination with your mother?"

Meng Yunqi was stunned for a while when he heard the news, then he thought that with his parents' temperament, he might come up with some bad idea, so he hurried over to stop them.

As expected, the fact was exactly as he expected, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard that his parents were planning to go to Ning's house to re-discuss his marriage with Sister Ah Chu.

Although this is also his greatest wish, but thinking of sister Ah Chu's attitude that day, he knew that she would not agree to marry him, at least not for the time being.

What's more, he didn't agree with his parents' actions. Before the Ning family was in trouble, it would undoubtedly make things worse for them to withdraw their marriage.

Now that the Ning family is making a comeback, even going to a higher level, isn't it just a joke for their family to go again at this time?There is even more suspicion of wanting a piece of the action.

At least he knew that this was the idea of ​​his parents, so he had to stop them all the more.

Although he wanted to be with Sister Ah Chu, he did not obey his parents' decision. At first he failed to resist his parents' decision, and now he wanted to use his own efforts to obtain Sister Ah Chu's forgiveness.

"Anyway, I don't agree, father and mother, you will only lose face of the Meng family by doing this."

After speaking, Meng Yunqi left.

He knew that what his father cared most about was the reputation of the Meng family, and with this as a threat, he would definitely not engage in those little schemes again.

Sure enough, Meng Shangshu was thinking just now that if he went to Ning's family to propose marriage, would their Meng family become a joke in the whole capital?Now that Meng Yunqi pointed it out directly, he cared even more.

At that time, the whole capital will definitely say that the Meng family made trouble when the family was in trouble, and now that the family has flourished, they will come forward again, and the word snobbery will be directly engraved on their faces.

Thinking of this, Meng Shangshu hesitated.

He waved his hand at Mrs. Meng, "Let's talk about this later."

Mrs. Meng knew his temperament, so she didn't object, but she couldn't understand it.

Township government.

Since the matter of confession was confirmed, Duke Zhen started to prepare for the banquet. This was the happiest event in his life, and it had to be a big one.

Ning's mother didn't like to show off. She originally wanted to ask relatives and friends to get together and make it easier, but how could Duke Zhen agree? He wanted to tell the world that he had a daughter. Now he can't tell the truth to the outside world. It's enough to be aggrieved, and if he is not allowed to publicize the adoption of adopted daughters, he will be insane.

Seeing that her own father was happy, Ning's mother followed him.

It's just that the Ning family returned to the capital and was planning to hold a banquet to entertain the wives of the officials, but now they have a confession banquet, and they are a little entangled in the order of the two banquets.

But in the end, it was Zhen Guogong who made the decision to hold the recognition banquet first, which was also a thought of his.

Thinking that when Ning's mother's identity is confirmed, when the Ning's family holds a banquet, those officials' wives will at least look at themselves and not embarrass Ning's mother.

This is also the loving heart of an old father for his daughter.

On October [-]th, the banquet for recognizing relatives.

This time the marriage recognition banquet was held in the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I saw that the whole mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy. Those who didn't know thought that someone from the Duke of Zhen's mansion got married today.

Ning's father was in charge of welcoming guests, Ning's mother was in charge of entertaining the wives, Ning Chu was in charge of entertaining the girls, and even Ning Chen had the task of greeting those young masters.

Most of the young masters were in their teens, and it was amused to see a chubby guy entertaining them to their seats in a serious manner.

Today, basically all the officials in the capital came with their wives and children, no matter whether they were invited by Duke Zhen Guo or not, they all came. For a while, the entire Duke Zhen Mansion was very lively.

All the officials are human beings. Seeing the red face of Lord Zhen Guogong today, they all secretly sighed in their hearts. It seems that Lord Zhen is very fond of this newly adopted adopted daughter, and they all hold it in their hearts. Mother Ning, and even the Ning family's status has quietly improved.

The palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Qingyang twirled the finger on his thumb, and his tone was unclear, "I heard that today is the day when Zhen Guo recognizes marriage?"

Eunuch Xi quickly bent down and replied respectfully, "Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed today. I heard that the old slave recognized Ning Yushi's wife, and also the eldest daughter of the Chengyi uncle's mansion, Mrs. Lu, as her righteous daughter. It is said that she was in Luzhou Mansion, the Lu family has a helping hand to the Duke of Zhen, and the two families can talk again, and the Duke of Zhen has no children, so he moved his mind."
