When Zhou Tong received Zhou Chen's reply, he smiled casually, and then looked to the north with a pale face. His younger brother was there. He had to work harder, and he couldn't really be outdone by his younger brother.
Ms. Zhou Xu also received a reply from Zhou Chen. She was relieved to learn that Zhou Chen was safe and sound and had been promoted.
Then she followed what Zhou Chen said and hired the Sheng family first, and she took care of everything.
But before going to Yangzhou, she still found Zhou Yexiong.
In the past few years, Zhou Yexiong's health has become worse than before, and the court is currently in a turmoil over the establishment of an heir. Therefore, he no longer holds office, but only holds a false position, mainly to stay at home and cultivate his several concubines.
This also made Zhou Yexiong, who had been strong all his life, very angry, and also led to the miserable life of the three concubines.
Zhou Xu found Zhou Yexiong in the study.
"The girl from the Sheng family has already reached the age of hair. Sanlang and I have written letters. He has no time to come back to get married for the time being, so I plan to go to the wedding first. Do you want to come with me?"
"Not going."
Zhou Yexiong refused directly and coldly. He had always been dissatisfied with Zhou Chen and his son's choice of the girl from the Sheng family. He didn't go when they wanted to get married last time, and he certainly wouldn't go this time.
"I have long said that such a Yue family can't give Sanlang any help at all. You have to follow his wishes to promote this marriage. Now that Sanlang is only twenty years old, he is already the commander of the capital. He is destined to have a bright future in the future. Sheng Sheng
The family will drag him down, so according to me, this family member should withdraw."
Mrs. Zhou Xu was not polite: "Then why did you agree in the first place? Now it's impossible to back out. This marriage was arranged by me. Even if you are not satisfied, you can only endure it."
Zhou Yexiong has nothing to say. Nowadays, he can no longer be tough when facing Zhou Xu. He also knows that he owes too much to his wife. He was not at home a few years ago. Thanks to Zhou Xu's taking care of the rear, he can concentrate on nothing.
have remained on the front lines.
What's more, marrying the Sheng family was Zhou Chen's own idea. He was coerced by Zhou Chen and had to agree, but now he has no energy to fight with his son, so even if he is dissatisfied, he can only talk about it.
, how can you really cancel the engagement?
Yangzhou!
Today's Yangzhou Shengfu is the busiest place in the entire Yangzhou city, and it is also the most prosperous day in Shengfu.
Nowadays, who doesn’t know whether the Marquis of Zhongjing in Tokyo came to the Sheng family specifically to recruit someone, or whether the eldest lady of the Marquis’s palace came in person to give the Sheng family face.
Even before the Xiapin team disembarked, the Sheng Mansion was already bustling with joy.
Even Mrs. Sheng, who is always happy and quiet, today her Shou'an Hall is very lively and full of celebrations, and everyone has a smile on their face.
Sheng Hualan, who has already had haircuts, is different from usual today. She is a little anxious, but mostly happy.
Most other ladies in the world have never met a man before getting married, let alone getting along with him and understanding his character.
She was different. Not only did she meet her fiancée, but they also spent a lot of time together, and she had a secret love for her at that time. In the past few years, although they have not seen each other again, the joy in her heart has not diminished by half. On the contrary,
The older I get, the more eager I am to see you again.
Today is the day of the betrothal. As long as her parents agree and accept the betrothal gift, tomorrow she will be half a member of the Marquis Zhongjing Mansion, and no one can change her.
So how could she not be nervous, how could she not be uneasy.
The old lady is a woman, so she naturally understands her granddaughter's mood, and she comforts her gently.
"Hua'er, sit down and talk."
"grandmother."
"Hua'er, Huiniang, your future mother-in-law, has already written to me. Because Sanlang is still in the border area, we won't be able to get married in the short term after today's appointment. It is estimated that we will have to wait until we go to Tokyo.
You can't get married until Sanlang returns to Beijing; this time may be one year or two years, so don't blame him, and don't worry, you haven't left grandma and the Sheng family so soon."
Sheng Hualan said: "I understand, grandma, I don't care. Third brother has great righteousness in his heart and guards the border for the country. I am proud of him, so how can I blame him."
As long as the recruitment process is passed, she and Zhou Chen will be considered legitimate, so even if it's a year or two late, it doesn't matter, they can still use the time to be filial to their grandmother and parents.
Old Mrs. Sheng was pleased: "It's good if you think so. You don't have to worry about Sanlang. That kid is very smart. He can protect himself even on the border. He has made great achievements and made a career outside."
, you can live a better life in the future, men like Saburo are much better than those pampered, oily-faced young men."
"Well, it is my lifelong honor to marry my third brother. No matter what he does, I will support him." Sheng Hualan said firmly.
"Good boy, you and Saburo are both good boys."
Xiapin's team soon arrived in front of the Sheng Mansion. This time, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion came in person. She was accompanied by several of Zhou Chen's concubine brothers. Except for Zhongjing Marquis himself, who was already considered extremely high-ranking, he did not come.
Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were very satisfied.
The queue for recruiting was already very long, and with the people following behind to watch the excitement, the entire queue stretched for several miles. This battle caused a sensation in the entire city of Yangzhou. Fortunately, the Yangzhou government was well prepared, so no serious consequences were caused.
confusion.
In front of Shengfu!
"The Zhou family of Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion in Tokyo is here to offer employment!"
"The Zhou family of Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion in Tokyo is here to offer employment!"
"The officiant, a pair of wild geese and live birds outside the Great Wall, the officiant..."
With Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu saying "yes" with smiles on their faces, the marriage was finally settled.
Do you know that this is an imaginary world and the system is chaotic, even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so I chose the Song Dynasty system for the military embargo. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me, the author really doesn’t know much about these.
