After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 347 Fortunately

Haitang hesitated for a moment, then signaled Zhou Wenjun to come closer to her, and told her that Zhou Sujun liked Tang Hui, and that the elders of Zhou and Tang had a tacit understanding of marriage.

Zhou Wenjun was shocked: "What?! It's her?!"

The voice was a little louder. The maids and women who were working in the water pavilion heard the commotion and looked over. Zhou Wenjun hurriedly dismissed them, and then whispered to Haitang: "I never thought of it! We all grew up together. The big one, Brother Su Jun looked at his upright appearance and devoted himself to studying and training. Why didn't I notice that he looked at Tang Hui differently? Is this true? "

Haitang also told her in a low voice: "I heard from my brother that only Zhou Yijun, who often practices archery with Zhou Sujun, can tell something about this, and no one else knows about it. The Tang family never considered him before, and he didn't tell anyone. . Now that Tang Hui’s marriage has had twists and turns, he finally has a chance. Zhou Yijun told my brother in private, and my brother advised him that if he wanted to help others, he should seize the opportunity to let the people who should know about it, so they went to find him. Tang Meng.

"Tang Meng went home and asked Mrs. Tang, General Tang and Tang Hui, and after getting permission, they dared to tell the Duke of Zhen and his wife. At that time, Jin Shan had not been in trouble, and the Tang family was not sure whether Tang Hui could get rid of him. Once the news leaked out, Tang Hui would be really embarrassed to see anyone. So they acted extra cautiously. Except for the two most critical elders, no one else knew about it. Even Mrs. Tang was kept in the dark! "

Zhou Wenjun said hurriedly: "Of course we can't let her know! Mrs. Tang is Tang Hui's stepmother, so she may not really care about her! Now that the Jin family has settled it, when the matter is over, no one will talk about Tang Hui and Jin anymore. Shan Shan will meet in private, and the marriage can be officially settled. We can't make any mistakes this time. If we make mistakes again, I'm really afraid that Tang Hui will cry and hang himself again!"

When it was revealed that this marriage was a tacit agreement between the two elders of Zhou and Tang, Zhou Wenjun felt more at ease and was still in the mood to joke: "We all thought that Brother Su Jun was trying to find a place for his uncle and aunt in the sixth room. He just said that he had a sweetheart, but he didn't take his words seriously at all. Unexpectedly, when Brother Su Jun said that there was, it was true, and it was Tang Hui! In the past, everyone regarded Tang Hui as the pearl of Chang'an City, only Only the most outstanding disciples can pick up the pearl. I didn’t expect that the pearl would fall into Brother Sujun’s house now. He was also one of the most outstanding brothers in our generation. He only specializes in archery. I just can’t care less.”

Zhou Sujun's achievements in military strategy, which is most valued by the Zhou family, are mediocre. Zhou Wenjun still knows how to save face for his clan brothers.

Haitang smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Wenjun began to complain about Zhou Yijun again: "He didn't even tell me!"

Although she and Zhou Yijun are cousins, they are similar in age. They grew up together, so they are no different from siblings. She was usually close to Mrs. Thursday, her gentle and kind aunt, and she was also very close to Mrs. Thursday's children, and she never hid anything from them. Zhou Yijun had a secret and didn't tell her, so she would naturally be annoyed.

Haitang said something fair on Zhou Yijun's behalf: "This marriage has not been revealed yet. It was just the private thoughts of a few young people at first. Once the news leaks out, I don't know what will happen to the Jin family. . You should be more careful.”

Zhou Wenjun nodded: "That's true." She thought to herself, no wonder the Tang family eliminated Jin Shan so neatly. It turned out that there was a better Zhou Sujun waiting, so naturally they couldn't really make an engagement with the Jin family, otherwise Zhou Sujun would be killed. What should I do if I get angry? It is no longer possible for a direct descendant of the Zhen Guo Duke to marry Tang Hui. If he misses Zhou Sujun, who is favored by the Zhen Guo Duke, where can the Tang family find a better son-in-law?

As for the issue that Zhou Sujun's family background was not as good as that of Tang Hui's family, Zhou Wenjun did not take it seriously. Zhou Sujun is a descendant of the Zhou family, and the glory of the Zhou family is the glory of Zhou Sujun. How could the children of the Zhou family not be worthy of the daughter of the Tang family? What's more, Tang Hui was almost forced to marry Jin Shan. Isn't Zhou Sujun a hundred times stronger than Jin Shan? !

Zhou Wenjun smiled and said: "Today I posted a message to invite Tang Hui, but she refused to come because she was sick. I just thought she was still shy about Jin Shan. Thinking about it now, she was really shy, but because of Brother Sujun. The marriage is almost settled, how can she have the nerve to come to her husband's house as a guest?" After joking about Tang Hui who was not present, Zhou Wenjun became a little anxious again: "It's better to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the nights will be long and there will be many dreams. Six Uncle Fang needs to know the news as soon as possible, otherwise she might mistakenly think that Brother Su Jun lied about having a sweetheart just for her own sake, and then go back to arrange another marriage for him."

Haitang smiled and said: "Then it's up to Sister Wenjun to talk to Mrs. Zhen Guogong. If she is willing to come forward as a matchmaker, the old lady of the sixth house will definitely agree happily? No one in the Tang family will object. In fact, General Tang After letting go of his foreign duties, he will go to Ganzhou to take up his post soon. It would be better for his eldest daughter's marriage to be decided early. Otherwise, as soon as he leaves, Tang Hui's marriage will fall into the hands of Mrs. Tang. She may not have time to think about it at the moment. These. As grandparents, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang can betroth their granddaughter, but after all, they are not as secure as their parents."

Zhou Wenjun thought about it and said with a smile: "I'm going to tell my grandmother tonight. In fact, she must have had an idea for a long time. It's just that the Tang family and the Jin family had just fallen out not long ago, so I didn't want to cause rumors, so I delayed She just didn't come forward. When my uncle from the sixth room asked my grandmother to help arrange marriage, my grandmother had a very strange expression on her face. She was afraid that she deliberately followed her uncle to Mrs. Gui's yard. Maybe she was thinking that if Mrs. Gui agreed, I mean, she quickly got involved in this matter!"

Zhou Wenjun was previously very angry because Mrs. Gui despised Zhou Sujun, but now he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was glad that the other party had set his sights on Zhou Sujun and did not look at Zhou Sujun. Of course, it would be better if Mrs. Gui could not be so mean in her words. Of course there is no need for Liufang to marry the Wu family, but if Mrs. Gui looks down on the descendants of Liufang, she is also looking down on the Zhou family.

The topic turned back again. Zhou Wenjun still couldn't understand what Mrs. Gui was so proud of? Why did she keep her eye on Zhou Yijun?

Wu Qiong was basically brought up by Mrs. Gui herself. Unlike Wu Ke, Empress Dowager Zhou and Marquis Chengen had to worry about almost all their homework since childhood. Nowadays, although Wu Qiong looks elegant and ladylike when she stands up, she is not strong-willed and has no independent opinions. It is impossible for her to hold on to the family while her husband is stationed at the border.

Zhou Yijun is a leader among the grandchildren of Zhenguo Palace, and will probably lead an army alone in the future. How could his wife be a weak woman with no independent opinion? Mrs. Zhen Guogong is not satisfied with Tang Hui, let alone Wu Qiong? Mrs. Gui insists on promoting this marriage, which may harm the lives of the next generation of outstanding children of the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion. How can the Zhen Guo Duke and his wife agree?

Now that General Zhou is about to enter the capital on Thursday, although Zhou Yijun will stay in the northwest to practice, he will also go to the capital to reunite with his parents. Just as the Marquis of Cheng'en refused to allow his eldest grandson to marry Wu Qiong, it was impossible for General Zhou's family in the capital to accept an eldest daughter-in-law who could not appear upright in front of others.

It is impossible for Mrs. Gui not to understand this truth. It would be too much if she insists on forcing it.

Zhou Wenjun sighed: "I see, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt should arrange a marriage for Zhou Yijun as soon as possible, so as to save him from continuing to attract people's attention. As for Wu Qiong, instead of rushing to arrange a marriage for her, Mrs. Gui might as well let her have more time Follow my grandmother and aunts to learn how to be a good wife, otherwise she will not have a good life no matter who she marries in the future. Mrs. Gui's capital rules will not work in Chang'an."

While he was talking, a scream came from not far away, and it sounded like Wu Qiong had fallen.

Haitang and Zhou Wenjun looked at each other and hurriedly ran towards the wax plum forest on the other side of the stream.
