My wife is sick

Chapter 272
Since the Zhou family has already arrived, of course they will not intentionally play tricks in front of Wei Fu.

"Sister-in-law, it's true that Brother Nan's marriage has progressed. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, sister-in-law..." Zhou said.

Although there was a Duke's wife in the former Jing'an Mansion, the relationship between Wei Fu and her mother's family was extremely discordant. Originally, all the prefectures in Beijing looked down on the Jing'an Mansion, so naturally there would be no one. I am willing to make friends with people in Jing'anbo Mansion.

Therefore, it is very rare for the Zhou family to receive invitations for various banquet occasions.

And Mrs. Zhou is not the kind of shameless person. She knows that others don't like to see her, and she will never rush to curry favor with others. Therefore, after marrying into the Jing'anbo Mansion for many years, she knows the wives from various mansions. There are quite a few, but there are very few people who can really communicate with them.

Even those few people who are willing to have heart-to-heart relationships with Mrs. Zhou are all because of Mrs. Zhou, and those wives also don't have a good impression of Mrs. Jing'an's mansion.

In this way, after Wei Nan and Wei Bei reached the age when they should consider marriage, it would be even more difficult for the Zhou family to find marriage for their two sons through various banquets.

Not to mention, any family with a certain status in Jingzhong would not be willing to marry their daughter to the Wei family.

Ever since Wei Fu hosted the flower viewing banquet and invited Mrs. Zhou to bring her children, Xu saw that the relationship between Wei Fu and her natal family was not as bad as people knew before, on the contrary, Wei Fu and her family The relationship between the natal sister-in-law, nephew, and niece is extremely close. After the flower viewing banquet, Zhou's received more invitations to each of our banquets naturally.

Zhou knew exactly what it was for.

But firstly, Mrs. Zhou herself is very happy about Wei Fu's change. Secondly, for the marriage of her two sons, even if Mrs. Zhou doesn't like to take advantage of others, she can only be cheeky stained.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Zhou family has participated in many banquets.

Even though this is the case, the wives of the various prefectures will not change their views on the Jing'anbo Mansion, but they have a new understanding of the Zhou family.

In addition, the relationship between Jing'anbo Mansion and Zhen Guogong's wife is now very good, and Zhen Guogong has always been very obedient to Zhen Guogong's wife. If they can become in-laws with Jing'an Bo's mansion, maybe they can get along with Mrs. Zhen Guo. The town government is also on good terms.

In short, under all these considerations, some people began to see Zhou's two sons who had reached the age of discussing marriage.

The two families want to discuss marriage, and the relationship between Qin and Jin naturally needs to go through a lot of contact and inquiry. During this period of time, the Zhou family has had contact with a wife several times, and they treat each other's children as if they were friends. satisfy.

"...The Cheng family is a scholarly family, and there have been several Hanlins in the past three generations. No matter how noble it is, now the Cheng family's son, Mr. Cheng, is also an Hanlin. He often listens to orders in front of the Holy Majesty. As for the honest ministers of the emperor, even if they are in the middle of the capital, the gentlemen of all the prefectures should give the Cheng family some face..."

"Although the third daughter of the Cheng family is not the daughter of Mr. Cheng, she is also the eldest daughter of Mr. Cheng's younger brother, the second master of the Cheng family. The second master of the Cheng family was released from Beijing and became the magistrate of Tongzhou. With the youngest son taking up the post with the second master Cheng, the third girl of the Cheng family has been growing up in the capital, raised by the eldest wife of the Cheng family..."

"I've met Mrs. Cheng's family a few times, and she's the most knowledgeable and sensible person. A girl who was brought up by her will definitely not miss out..."

Zhou said the matter again.

Cheng family.

Wei Fu recalled everything she knew about the Cheng family in her heart.

Since she woke up, she knew that 15 years had passed since she closed her eyes and opened them again. In order to better adapt to the capital city 15 years later, Wei Fu specially asked Director Liu to present all the news from the various prefectures in the capital city to her. , of course the Cheng family was among them.

Just as Zhou said, the Cheng family has been the most noble for generations, and now the person in charge of the Cheng family, that is, the elder of the Cheng family, is listening to the order in front of the Holy Majesty. He is the real son of heaven near minister.

There has always been a saying that "non-Hanlin does not join the cabinet". Every elder in the cabinet is from the Hanlin. Regardless of the low grade of the Cheng family master, as a close minister of the emperor, he may not be able to join the cabinet any day. Into the cabinet.

At that time, his status will naturally rise.

Because of this, Beijing officials have always been extremely polite to the Cheng family.

These are not different from what Zhou said.

but……

Regarding the second master of the Cheng family, Wei Fu remembered something.

"Sister-in-law," Wei Fu said, "If I remember correctly, the current second wife of the Cheng family is not the first wife of the second master of the Cheng family..."

It is said that the second master of the Cheng family was extremely handsome when he was young, so he naturally attracted the love of many boudoir daughters. Later, under the control of the elders in the family, the second master of the Cheng family made an appointment with a girl from the Lu family of Fan Yang. Even if they got married, it also caused the sadness of many boudoir daughters.

The Lu family of Fan Yang was a famous clan in the previous dynasty. Although it is not as glamorous as it used to be in the current Jing Dynasty, women of this kind of clan are still highly sought after in matters of marriage. Can the second master of the Cheng family It is extremely difficult to make a marriage contract with a daughter of the Lu family, even if it is only a side branch of the Lu family.

After the second master of the Cheng family got married to Nalu's daughter, he soon had a daughter, who was the third daughter of the Cheng family that Zhou mentioned.

It is said that the second master of the Cheng family and Mrs. Lu have a very deep relationship, and they both love poetry and books, so they can be regarded as singing together.

However, I don't know if the good times didn't last long, or for some other reason. When the third daughter of the Cheng family was five years old, Lu's father celebrated his birthday, and the second master of the Cheng family went to Fanyang to celebrate his birthday with Lu. I don't know what happened in the middle. What, in short, after returning to the capital, Mrs. Lu fell into a serious illness very soon, and passed away like this.

And the third girl from the Cheng family lost her mother at such a young age.

What is so strange about this matter is that, less than a hundred days after Lu's death, and Rexiao has not yet come out, the Lu family took one of Lu's family members under the pretext that the third daughter of the Cheng family was still young and could not live without her mother's care. The cousin of the clan married the second master of the Cheng family.

Moreover, this little Lu family is not an offshoot of Fan Yang's Lu family, but a true direct descendant.

People with discerning eyes can naturally see the strangeness in this.

Although the Lu family in Fanyang is not as beautiful as before, this big clan still maintains the glory of the past, and it does have a very deep foundation, so daughters of the Lu family have always been precious, let alone the daughters of Di Zhi. , even if it is a side branch, it will not be easy to allow people.
