Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

How could things in the harem be hidden from the emperor's eyes? He had also been a prince, so how could he not understand the thoughts of the harem people?
The eyes he looked at Cheng Daqi became complicated. He finally pulled Cheng Daqi up. Before he could do anything, the Queen and Concubine Qi couldn't sit still.

A marriage that has not yet been finalized makes both parties eager to take action. He is indeed old, and these people cannot afford to wait.

"Your daughters are all good, especially your mistress. You have to choose your marriage carefully."

Now that both parties are interested in this piece of fat, they don't know how to avoid being dragged into the trap by this stupid genius?
Or maybe I can't control myself and want to gain all the wealth.

Cheng Daqi didn't know why. Wasn't he talking about his second mother? Why was he talking about his mistress again?

"Xiao Si is still young, and Wei Chen and his wife are not yet ready to see each other for her marriage."

The emperor sighed silently. With his temper, he didn't know how this family's business could become so big.

Purely relying on the blessing of ancestors?

"Go back."

Cheng Daqi left honestly, with question marks all over his body.

Slightly better than him was Mrs. Cheng who was talking to the queen. The queen also asked Cheng Erniang first, and then talked about Cheng Xiaosi, focusing on the marriage of the two sisters. The old lady instinctively felt that the inside story was not that simple, and said What he said was true and false. He did not offend the queen, nor did he promise anything to the queen.

That night, the family sat together and started a routine discussion. The questions were raised to brainstorm. This time, Cheng Xiaosi did not let them guess, and directly told them the news he had received, "In short, the Niu family wants to discuss with Sister A." The news of the marriage has been leaked, and the Niu family has military power. The prince and the third prince are both jealous, but they are afraid of the emperor and do not dare to win over her easily. "

"But if our two families get married, another transfer from us will almost have the same effect. It will tie our Cheng family to the boat. When the time comes, for the sake of our wealth and lives, we will definitely support it."

"So, I have become a good bridge. If you marry me, you can get the financial support of the Cheng family, and you can also indirectly get the support of the Niu family. Getting married is the most convenient way for the interests of high-ranking families to entangle. .”

Everyone didn't expect that the inside story was so complicated. They all looked at each other. Cheng Dashan sighed, "I originally thought that if we did our jobs well and got the emperor's appreciation, we would be able to gain a foothold in the capital. This capital."

You can't imagine how deep the water is without experiencing it yourself.

Cheng Daqi also understood what the emperor meant by those words, "I have only heard of this dragon power from the mouths of storytellers. It became glorious for decades, but fell apart on the spot after defeat."

I really never dreamed that he could still be involved in this matter, and he still had to force himself to be involved.

Mrs. Cheng immediately said that she would never get involved in this matter. She knew how much her family was capable of. When it came to business, the family might be okay. But if it disturbed the court, haha, the whole family together would not be able to put together a good brain.

"Ever since your grandfather's generation, our family has been a businessman, and it's the same with your father's generation. Although your father has great expectations for you, his biggest expectation is just to have children and grandchildren who can be children. Official, he blesses the family, and he once said with a smile that it would be great if he could be a fifth-rank official. If he were a fourth-rank official, then his ancestors would have burnt incense for many generations."

"If I knew that I could have a title and that the women in my family could have a royal destiny, I would be satisfied even if I died on the spot. What I got today has far exceeded the expectations of my ancestors."

"However, there are still many problems waiting for us to learn and deal with after leaping over the dragon's gate. It is not a good thing to take too big a step." The two brothers Cheng Daqi agreed very much with their mother's words, and the uncle was not convinced yet. If you think about other things, won't you cause trouble for yourself?
"If the foundation is unstable, no matter how high the building is built, it will eventually collapse."

The tone has been set, so how to deal with the current problem next?
It's not that they don't want others to let it go. Neither the Chu family nor the Wei family can afford to offend.

Cheng Erniang fiddled with her handkerchief and wanted to say that she would not marry anymore. If she brought trouble to the family again, she would be uneasy for the rest of her life.

Cheng Xiaosi spoke first, "The Niu family has been able to survive for so many years. There must be a way to protect themselves. Sister, we can discuss the marriage when it's time. The key issue is me."

"They are here for me, so they should want to arrange a marriage for me."

She had thought about it carefully, but she couldn't love freely and had to be coerced by various rights all day long. It had never stopped since she was born. The people in this family had finally worked hard to live a good life, but they couldn't be influenced by the ambitions of outsiders. Destroyed.

Rather than letting others worry about her all day long and making her anxious all day long, it is better to settle down early and have peace of mind.

Everyone looked at her, and no one said anything for a while. After figuring out the matter, they all knew that what she said was right. In front of a truly noble family, the Cheng family had no power to protect themselves. We can only use our strength to fight.

Mrs. Cheng was the first to speak again, "Xiaosi is right, but the marriage proposal will not happen overnight. The other party must be able to withstand the pressure from the Chu family and the Wei family."

Xiao He didn't come back to his senses. He still didn't know why the topic came to Xiao Si, "Do you have to drag the sisters to deal with family matters and court affairs?"

The two sisters usually don't go out much, so why do they provoke those people outside?
Cheng Daqi felt panic-stricken. Being an uncle with a noble title was very honorable to one's ancestors, but it didn't mean that she couldn't keep it even if she became an uncle's daughter.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I think about it, the more boring I feel. How can I feel as comfortable now as I did before I became an uncle?

He was so excited that he said, "I will tell the emperor tomorrow that we will go back to our hometown with our family. It will be aggrieved to stay in the capital."

"When I get to my hometown, I will be the local emperor. Whoever has a higher position than me will dare to threaten my family."

Cheng Yousan, who had been angry for a long time, was the first to nod in agreement, "I think it's good. When we get back, the officials in the Yamen will have to nod and bow when they see us. No one dares to speak loudly in front of us. What do you say, brother?"

Looking at these two excitable and emotional men, Cheng Xiaosi sighed silently. She now somewhat believed that the position of the family's ancestral tomb would most likely be where they are now. They burned incense diligently on weekdays. The ancestral tablets are placed high.

"What a big deal."

She finally couldn't help but speak, "Think about it a few years ago, when you saw an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, you, dad and uncle, would nod and bow down. If we didn't have this title, we sisters might all be robbed and used as pawns." Is my concubine gone?"

It is very common for merchant girls to become concubines for officials. If they don't have a title, it's hard to say how many of them are sisters. After all, the Cheng family is rich. Which official can give up such fat?
