Return to the Red Chamber: Jia Min Xiuxian

Chapter 198 The Lin and Tong Families Determine Their Marriage (2)
When Tong Guowei heard what the emperor meant, it seemed that the emperor did not agree with this marriage, but it was just wishful thinking of the eighth elder brother himself.Tong Guowei wanted to understand this, so naturally he would not hesitate.Originally, if it was the emperor's intention, he had to think about it, after all, he couldn't resist the order!Of course Tong Guowei was unwilling.

If in the previous life, the fourth elder brother hadn't eavesdropped on his own life experience, after Queen Tong's death, the fourth elder brother would return to Concubine De.Tong Guowei saw that the fourth elder brother had no strength and seemed to have no thoughts, let alone not his own grandson, so he turned to the eighth elder brother.At that time, if the eighth elder brother wanted to marry a girl from the Tong family as Fujin, Tong Guowei would definitely be willing.

However, at this time, he already knew that the fourth elder brother was his own grandson, and now he was raising him by his daughter's side, and he was as close to his daughter as a mother and son, so it can be seen that his daughter will still rely on Yinzhen in the future.What's more, the Lin family even saved their daughter's life. With all these things added up, don't you know what Tong Guowei will choose?Naturally, he fully supported his grandson.After all, outsiders are not as close and reliable as their own grandchildren.

But if the granddaughter is promised to the eighth elder brother, what will the granddaughter do in the future?To support her or not?My family must support the fourth elder brother. The eighth elder brother is ambitious at first glance, how should my family treat it?Regardless?But wouldn't the granddaughter suffer?Just look at the current Eight Fujin, and Prince An's Mansion and Guo Luoluo's family still fully support Eighth Brother, and it's not a split now.How could I send my daughter to the fire pit?
Thinking of this, and seeing that the emperor had no intention of coercion, he refused. "Back to the emperor, that child Yaxin has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is no worse than the original eight Fujin. I'm afraid she can't be qualified for the prince Fujin, not to mention that the girl is still young, and the servant wants to keep her for another two years. Please the emperor and Eighth brother choose another sage?"

Tong Guowei's words were clever.Let me first say that Yaxin is spoiled, she is no worse than the original Eight Fortunes.There are several meanings behind this sentence.First of all, being spoiled, having a flamboyant personality, and refusing to suffer, just like Ba Fujin, who offended the Lin family and was then abandoned by the eight elder brothers, can the Tong family not feel sorry?The Tong family would not force their daughter to jump into the fire pit knowing that there was a fire pit in front of them.

Furthermore, in what respect is it not worse than the Eight Fortunes?identity?As far as Yaxin is Tong Guowei's eldest granddaughter and Queen Tong's niece, her status is indeed no worse than that of the Eight Fortunes, or even better than the Eight Fortunes.According to folk customs, the step-wife cannot be higher than the original spouse, because the step-wife is required to be a concubine in front of the original spouse's tablet.If the status of the wife is not as noble as the concubine, then it will be messed up.How does the wife manage the house?

Although the matter of the eighth Fujin is a bit special, it is not that the first wife died and then married the second wife.In principle, Guo Luo and Luo Mingyu are no longer the original partner of the Eighth Prince, and have nothing to do with the Eighth Prince's return to the bridge.But in most people's minds, she is still regarded as the original spouse, and naturally they can't help comparing the second wife with her, so this reasoning still makes sense.

In short, Tong Guowei's words made it clear that he did not want to betroth his granddaughter to the eighth elder brother.The emperor naturally understood.But how should I explain this to my eighth elder brother?Say the Tong family is unwilling?You don't need to think about it to know that Brother Ba must punish Tong's family severely in the future.The eighth brother's temperament may be due to the cold eyes he received a lot since he was a child, but now he has finally turned over, and his self-esteem is extremely strong, and too much self-esteem becomes inferiority complex.

If you let him know that the Tong family doesn't want to marry him, you don't need to say anything else. Naturally, you feel that the Tong family looks down on him and despises him. It's no wonder he doesn't fight back. The emperor wants to protect the Tong family, so naturally he doesn't want to. See this result.

So he said it bluntly, "Uncle, this matter has to be dealt with properly. You can't tell Lao Ba directly about this, but it has to be a safe way to prevent Lao Ba from resenting Tong's family."

Therefore, I have to find a good excuse, or it is a fact. For example, the Tong family has already made an in-law relationship with someone secretly, but the Tong family regrets that the girl is still young and wants to stay for two more years, so there is no engagement just now. The parents and elders of the two families have already made an agreement.That is to say, the Tong family has already taken a fancy to it, and the two families have settled down in private, and they are waiting for the engagement. In this way, the royal family is naturally not good at breaking up the family, isn't it?

It is said that it is better to tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage.Even if you are a royal, you can't use your power to bully others, right?In this case, the eighth elder brother will naturally not hate the Tong family too much, who told you it was too late, they have already made an appointment, even if you are a prince, you can't forcefully marry a civilian girl, right?How is that different from a robber?The eighth elder brother valued a good name the most, so naturally he would not be this robber.What's more, it's not that he won't marry Feiqing, so naturally he won't be too targeting the Tong family.

But the son-in-law must be decided quickly, and then get engaged.Marriage can be postponed, it has to be settled first, and the eighth elder brother has to see, this is not lying to you, nor is it despising you, it is really settled.

However, this candidate is really uncertain at the moment.After all, the Tong family didn't intend to settle down so quickly, and of course there was no such thing as seeing their son-in-law and secretly settling down.So I really can't find a suitable one for a while, you say you can just find one, there are so many noble children in Beijing, which one will not work?With the status of the granddaughter of the Tong family, do you still worry about getting married?
The Tong family's daughter naturally has no worries about marrying, only seeing that the Tong family has two generations of queens and one noble concubine, and those who want to marry the Tong family have already lined up outside the city gate.But the problem is that they don't want to wrong their daughter!Just find one, and you don't know the personality, who knows if it's reliable or not?How can the Tong family rest assured?So Tong Guowei is in a hurry now.

"What do you think of the youngest son of the Lin family?" The emperor couldn't bear to see his uncle and father-in-law getting older and anxious about his granddaughter's marriage like an ant on the hot pot, so he opened his mouth with an idea.

The emperor's idea was not random.He knew the Lin family's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law.You have to be educated and reasonable, and you don't have such a strong desire to compete, or else the four daughters-in-law of the Lin family will have troubles?Status is secondary, otherwise there would be no such thing as the daughter-in-law of the Erlang of the Lin family who was just the daughter of a gentry from the south of the Yangtze River.Anyway, it can't be a housewife.What's more, the Lin family does not allow concubines. The married daughter-in-law cannot pretend to be virtuous and worry about taking concubines for her husband all day long. If there are too many people, there will be disputes.You have to be able to get along with the Lin family boy and not provoke troubles. As long as the two husband and wife are harmonious, filial, and don't stir up brotherhood, Jia Min won't make trouble for his daughter-in-law.

It can be said that the daughter-in-law of the Lin family is the happiest.There are many people in Beijing who want to marry the Lin family, but the Lin family is not satisfied.The main reason is not to look for those who will hinder the family, or those who have complicated backgrounds and are involved with the princes. These are all considered by the Lin family.However, there are very few people in the capital who have nothing to do with the prince, and their daughters are educated and reasonable, and meet the Lin family's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law.
