As soon as the lady left, Mrs. Zhang asked her husband, "What do you think about this?!"
Mr. Zhang said, "Our family is in the capital, so we are really blind. The Mr. Tong who was originally pointing at... Haha, I see, he has to count on others! This incident with the Wu family is so unexpected! Or maybe it's us.
It’s a great opportunity for us. I’ll go out now and inquire about it carefully.”
The mother and daughter sent Master Zhang off.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and looked at Zhang Wenjuan, "I didn't expect you to have such good luck! When I first learned about this, my mother was still worried that the Wu family was so powerful that it would force the Li family and us to bow down. If you were to regret the marriage,
, then it will be difficult to handle... Oh, I didn't expect that the Wu family has such sincerity... My daughter, you are a blessing in disguise!"
Zhang Wenjuan's eyes were bright and she was a little nervous. "Mom, this matter makes my daughter so nervous! The Wu family only found out about it in the past two days."
She blinked, "My daughter is worried that people will look down upon her..."
When I went out to socialize a few days ago, the ladies I met were really different from me. My family background, my dowry... I really felt guilty!
Mrs. Zhang said, "This is the initiative of the Wu family. What do you have to worry about!? His legitimate daughter made a scandal, and it was you who sacrificed your own marriage to help solve the problem! You are the great hero of his family, who dares to
Don’t you look down on me?! My daughter, you have reached the sky in one step, so don’t forget to support your brothers!”
She has accompanied her husband in office for many years, but she still looks quite old. She has deep wrinkles when she smiles.
Zhang Wenzhen said, "Mom! Don't be so short-sighted! If my daughter didn't stop me just now, you would have agreed."
Mrs. Zhang smiled brightly and said, "This good thing has fallen in front of you. What happened to your promise?!" She touched her eldest daughter's hair lovingly. In the past, she loved her youngest daughter the most, but from now on, she must count on her eldest daughter!
"You also know what kind of family they are looking for for your eldest sister to marry. We can't even reach the corner of the Wu family!"
My own girl couldn't even go to the banquet at the summer palace.
Not to mention that the husband has not been promoted, even if he is promoted, he can go! No one will look down on him!
It doesn’t feel like I’m out in the field...it’s time to make whatever changes I want!
Beijing is so fascinating and sad at the same time!
Zhang Wenzhen said, "You also said that the Wu family is powerful! If we force the Li and Zhang families to break off the engagement, there is nothing we can do. However, his family is so polite that they even have the legitimate son of the Wu family to match the eldest sister! This... you
I need to think about it carefully..."
Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "What do you mean..."
Zhang Wenzhen smiled playfully...
Over there, Old Mrs. Lin calmed down and resumed her daily greetings. She was even more competitive than before. It was either this or that matter. She would always make a big point.
Lin Zhixiu finally escaped and came to her uncle's house.
Mrs. Li specially asked Li Feng to come and talk to Lin Zhixiu about the Wu family.
After hearing this, Lin Zhixiu lowered his head and thought.
Mrs. Li thought Lin Zhixiu would be very happy, but now she didn't know what to say.
Lin Zhixiu frowned slightly and looked at Li Feng, "Brother Li, what do you think about this matter?"
Li Feng waved his hands away and said, "After you discuss this matter, it's settled. For me, it's almost the same! The key is, as long as mother is happy!"
Mrs. Li glared at him, "What are you talking about! Xiu'er, what did you say?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Wu Jingxiang, aside from her family background, I admire this woman very much."
Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, "She is such a good girl, she has no airs at all! She speaks in an unhurried and unhurried manner, and her bearing is... Tsk! Xiu'er, don't think your aunt said something bad. Apart from her appearance, she is not as good as you in other aspects."
, no less than you!"
Lin Zhixiu nodded seriously, "Aside from her appearance, she is stronger than me. She has a strong personality, a smart mind, and many talents. But... I don't agree with Brother Li marrying her."
Mrs. Li was surprised, "Why... why is this! Auntie feels that Xiu'er you were talking about before was someone like the Wu girl!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Before, I hoped that the person you married to Brother Li would indeed be this type of person. But she... might be a little troublesome."
After a pause, he said, "As my aunt said, her talents are even better than mine. And she is very good at dealing with people. Even if you only met her once, you still have such a good impression of her. So,
Her influence on you is unconscious. In the end, you will be willing to be influenced by her. I have received news, Your Highness King Jin, everything goes well. Then, soon, Brother Li will have a fortune in his hands.
What's more important is military power. If she has her own plan in mind, she wants to use Brother Li..."
Mrs. Li said "Ah?!"
Li Feng disagreed, "Sister Xiu, brother, are not people who don't distinguish between public and private affairs..."
Lin Zhixiu shook his head solemnly, "Brother Li, Zhixiu knows something, but he can't tell it. Brother Li is in the court, has no backing, but has military power. In the future, you may be the target of others. And some
If things get stuck, there will probably be no good end." So what about the prince? It's still over!
"Wu Jingxiang, you are so outstanding. What I'm afraid of is that she will get involved in these things. When the time comes, you won't be able to control it... That's really something that no one can save. So, she can't marry!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li nodded quickly, "Xiu'er, if you talk about this, my aunt doesn't understand at all. My aunt's biggest wish is to clear up the murder of the Li family and for Li Feng to pass on the family lineage. Not that she wants him to prosper.
!As long as I have an official position and can keep my family business, that’s all!”
Li Feng also nodded, "Li Feng thinks the same way: life is simple, the wife can take care of her mother and give birth to a son, that's all! Xiu'er, my eldest brother is interested in you, so you can just do it. Whatever you want, my eldest brother agrees."
I still have something to do, let’s go first!”
After saying that, he patted his butt and left.
Mrs. Li pointed at his back, "This... alas! Xiu'er, I didn't miss what you said. So, for this matter, I'd better ask you to go to the Zhang family. My aunt has been discussing betrothal gifts and dowries for a while.
To say anything else, I really don’t understand.”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Don't worry, Xiu'er will look after it for you. Then what conditions did the Wu family give to the Zhang family?"
Mrs. Li said, "The lady didn't say that."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Then let me ask and see what the Zhang family's plans are..."
At this moment, the Zhang family is smiling happily.
First, Master Zhang quietly inquired about the Wu family's situation.
As the lady said, the Wu family is an incredible family!
Not to mention Mr. Wu Ge, the daughters-in-law of the eldest son to the fifth son of the Wu family all came from well-known families. Even the unmarried fiancée of the sixth master came from a well-established and scholarly family, with a powerful family and extensive connections.
As for Mr. Wu Ge, his body and bones are weak now, but his mind is clear and stable!
Children and grandchildren also make a living.
When I came back after asking about it, Mr. Zhang had a happy face.
When she told her wife, Mrs. Zhang smiled mysteriously and told her daughter's idea.
Master Zhang was a little uneasy after hearing this. He felt that this was too pretentious.
Mrs. Zhang disagreed, "If the Wu family's daughter made a fool of herself first, the Wu family should be anxious! Otherwise, can we allow our legitimate son to marry our daughter? If we don't take the opportunity to make a request, we would be stupid!"
Master Zhang also fainted and nodded.
So the Zhang family sent a mother-in-law to talk to Mrs. Qiao, who had made an agreement, and said, "My wife inquired about it and found out that the six grandmothers of the Wu family are all daughters of well-known families, with generous dowries. But the Zhang family has no wealth."
I have no power, and I have gone through a lot of hardships to get to the capital. Now I am crowded in a small courtyard, and I can't even stand on my feet. I am still in the same family as the Li family, but I want to marry into the Wu family... Those dowries are simply
It’s not enough. How will the sisters-in-law get along with each other when the time comes..."
The greed that shines brightly on his face.
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she almost laughed! She looked at the old lady helplessly.
This is really... shameless!
The lady said, "Go back and tell your wife that you have brought your message!"
When this mother-in-law heard this, why did she just say this? She hasn’t replied to me yet!
The nun beside the lady "invited" the woman out with an air of dignity.
When Mrs. Wu found out about this, she was speechless for a long time.
Wu Jingxiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He hadn't met such a "smart" person in many years.
Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter and sighed, "This family is crazy, right? Don't tell the third lady about this."
The seventh son was born to the third wife, and she would have been very angry if she knew how to sacrifice her son.
Afterwards, Mrs. Qiao sent a decent nanny over and took a list: "This is the Wu family. Giving Miss Zhang a piece of property can be regarded as a dowry for Miss Zhang!"
The Zhang family looked at it carefully for a long time, but they couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud...
What a blessing from the sky!
The only one who was unhappy was Zhang Wenzhen.
After struggling for a long time, it has nothing to do with myself.
She secretly went to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Mom, what the Wu family did was not honest. They knew the difference between our two families, and they could obviously give this property in advance to make our family live better. But they couldn't pretend to be stupid.
You have to ask us to ask for it! We are not beggars! These properties look good, but in the end, my sister will bring them into the Wu family. After all, it is Ge's hometown, it is really sophisticated!"
Mrs. Zhang's happiness was also much lessened. "Humph, who made this person so powerful!?"
Zhang Wenzhen sneered, "The power is great, but no matter how great it is, won't it be blamed on us? Who can let his daughter fail to live up to her expectations?!"
Mrs. Zhang said, "As you put it, this is really an opportunity. Why not take advantage of it to get some benefits? It has to do with us."
Miss Zhang Wenzhen said, "Mom, you are right to think so!"
