Chapter 356 This Unstoppable Marriage
Mou Bin smiled bitterly,
"My husband also wants to find out about this matter. I'm just afraid that once this matter is clarified, it's time for our family to go on the road together!"
Mrs. Liu's body trembled,
"Then according to the master's wishes, what should we do now?"
There were indeed wolves in front of them and tigers behind them, a pit on the left, and water on the right. They couldn't take a single step. But even if they didn't move, there were still people pushing them. It would be fine if they were ignorant, but in the current situation, the couple
People have to watch helplessly as a whole family is pushed towards destruction step by step. This feeling... Whoever suffers knows it!
Mrs. Liu looked at Mou Bin, who also sighed.
"I want to wait for Lao Ba to come back to discuss this matter with him..."
Mrs. Liu was a little dissatisfied,
"Why didn't the master discuss it with Da Lang and Er Lang? Even if it doesn't work out, there are still San Lang, Si Lang and others, and there are several sons in front of them. You only live with the eighth son?"
Mou Bin smiled,
"You have raised Dalang and Erlang very well. These two sons like literature but not martial arts. They are full of poems and articles, saving the world and the people. Tell them about this, do you think they will be able to deal with it?"
Mou Bin is right. Although Mrs. Liu married him, she still despised Jin Yiwei, a royal servant, and wanted her sons to pursue an official career. In the future, they would follow his father's path and get rid of Jin Yiwei's bad reputation.
If not, Mou Bin let Mou Biao enter the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, why did she keep tolerating it even though she was dissatisfied with her husband's favoritism? Because she didn't realize from the bottom of her heart that Jin Yiwei was a good errand, so she might as well let Lao Ba go!
And because of this, her two sons were raised too politely by her, allowing them to join the officialdom, scheming with the literati, and fighting openly and secretly. They had ten or eight years of experience, so they could succeed, but if they were to lick blood with the blade of a knife,
They often kill people with knives and kill people while talking and laughing, but they lack that ruthlessness. None of the elders in the family can do it, and only Mou Biao can do it!
Mrs. Liu was discouraged when she thought of this and glanced at Mou Bin.
"Master, did you expect such a day?"
Mou Bin shook his head,
"How could I have expected that the prince could not wait to ascend to the throne, but...although I came from a humble background, I also know that the children in the family cannot just follow one path. They must be raised separately and let them develop their talents in order to maintain a family leader.
Prosperity never fades!”
This is true. Look at the families that have been standing for hundreds or even hundreds of years. Why can they survive through ups and downs? It’s because the children in the family are civilized, military, businessmen and farmers, and they became officials in the dynasty during the prosperous times.
, leading troops as generals in troubled times,
When you want money, there are people who are proficient in business. When you want to rest and recuperate, you can stay lonely and farm and study to pass down the family. However, aristocratic families never judge gains and losses based on individuals, nor do they judge success or failure based on one dynasty or one generation. All they see is a hundred-year plan, hundreds of years of progress.
Heritage!
That's why he let his sons go their separate ways and pursue their own futures!
Mrs. Liu nodded,
"What the master said is..."
The couple had already forgotten about Mou Gong and focused on planning for the family. The aunt knew that she had offended Mrs. Liu this time and did not dare to expect her to take care of her son's marriage.
So the family took over the arrangements for the third master's marriage. Mrs. Liu's mind was not at home at the moment, so she didn't bother to care about her. She simply left the matter to her eldest aunt in front of the whole family.
Everyone in the mansion had different reactions when they heard about this. Si Lian frowned after hearing this.
"The third brother's marriage is all taken care of by my aunt. This...this seems to be against the rules, right?"
Mother Wang listened and nodded.
"What the young lady is saying is that according to Dali, regardless of the concubines or the direct children in this house, they are all the children of the madam. All marriages should be arranged by the mistress of the house. Even if the mistress doesn't want to do it, she still has to do it. Just put your name on it and let the aunt down below take care of it, but you can so blatantly ignore it..."
She thought for a while and said,
"If this new young lady comes in, she will be looked down upon by everyone in the house..."
Si Lian nodded,
"I don't know what my aunt and third brother are thinking. This way...even if the young couple gets married in the future, there will be rifts because of this..."
The sixth lady of the Yang family on the other side was very happy to know that the matchmaker from the Mou family came to propose marriage. After she met Mou Gong by the lake that day, she quietly asked her people to inquire about it and learned that this was the commander of the Jinyi Guards. When the son of a concubine is ranked third, his heart will be filled with joy.
"Although Mou Gong is a concubine, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guards? He is a close official of the emperor. Although the commander of the Jinyi Guards has always been a minister of the emperor, his Majesty is now in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period and has stayed in the throne for twenty or thirty years. There is no doubt that Master Mou San will be able to impress others with his father's help!"
Miss Yang Liu was loved by thousands of people at home. How much anger she suffered when she came to the capital to live under someone else's roof. Isn't it just to get a good husband?
That Young Master Mou San is also pretty good-looking. As the daughter of a businessman, marrying into an official family, the best choice is to forget about a legitimate son. A concubine is already the best choice. The commander of the Jin Yiwei is a third-rank official with real power. If the marriage is passed back to the family, let alone being a wife, even if you are a concubine, the elders in the family will definitely agree to it!
Miss Yang Liu and Mou Gong, one is a lustful person, the other is greedy for power, and they also have a little love that is most easily stirred up between boys and girls. In their own eyes and in the eyes of outsiders, they can be said to be in love.
Mr. Mou San could come in and out of the mansion at will, while Miss Yang Liu stayed at a relative's house. Although it was inconvenient to go in and out, she had money and used it to open the back door and sneak out quietly. So the two made an appointment in private. We met a few times, but fortunately they were all under strict control at home, especially Miss Yang Liu, who had two little girls with her, just to prevent the young lady from coming to the capital, and the golden turtle husband was not caught, but was taken over by someone else It was cheap, so the two of them behaved politely when they met. At most they held hands, hugged each other, and let Mou Gong kiss his face once.
In this way, due to mutual consent, the marriage went very smoothly. The matchmaker hired by the aunt went to the Xue family to propose marriage. Miss Yang Liu's cousin was the head mistress of the Xue family. After hearing about this, she was cautious. , sent someone to ask Mr. Liu,
"When I told you about this earlier, weren't you reluctant?"
Mrs. Liu snorted and asked someone to reply,
"This is what my third son likes. I can't control it. It's up to you to do what you want!"
After Mrs. Liu's words, Mrs. Xue's wife heard that she had come from the outside world. They were all from the back house in the capital, and she was a girl from the same family. Who didn't know who the other one was? Ms. Liu was the most respectable person. , very strict with the rules. She is the eldest mother and does not care about the marriage of her concubine. This is why she is very dissatisfied. This person has not even married into her, and even the serious mother-in-law doesn’t like her. What good fruit can Yang Liu get from marrying into her?
Besides, there is something in Liu’s words,
Did you like it yourself?
Did the two of them meet in private?
Madam Zhang of the Xue family was a little angry.
"This young lady is secretly having sex with men outside. If my cousin knows about it, how should I explain it?"
It would be better if her own daughter was able to hit and scold her, but this was someone else's daughter, so it was hard for her to speak harshly. After thinking about it, she called for Miss Yang Liu to come over. Miss Yang Liu came over and met her cousin.
Mrs. Zhang mentioned that someone from the Mou family came to propose marriage today.
"The Mou family is the Mou family, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Are you willing to propose marriage to their third son?"
Miss Yang Liu was overjoyed when she heard this, her face turned red, she lowered her head in shame and said,
"It all depends on my cousin!"
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhang became more and more certain that she had met her husband in private. She was extremely angry and gritted her teeth secretly.
“It’s time to put things in order in this house!”
She was angry, but she couldn't spare what she should say. She immediately said with a slightly depressed face,
"I'm actually not satisfied with this marriage..."
Miss Yang Liu was stunned when she heard this. She raised her head and widened her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Zhang in shock, anxiety and annoyance.
"Cousin aunt... why?"
Zhang's Road,
"First of all, although the Mou family has great power, it has a bad reputation. Secondly, the third son of Mou is a bastard in the family. He doesn't have much property to his name, and he won't get much if the family is divided in the future..."
Mou Gong was born to her eldest aunt, who was born as a girl and had no help from her natal family. The little property she had was saved by herself over the years, and was given to her by Mou Bin privately, but she gave birth to three children.
, and cannot all be given to his son, as there will not be much left for Mou Gong.
"...He himself has no fame, no errands, and three..."
Mrs. Zhang paused,
"This is the most important thing. Mr. Mou San's marriage was not arranged by a serious aunt, but by his biological mother..."
Speaking of this, I looked at Miss Yang Liu's expression,
"Do you know the key to this?"
Miss Yang Liu thought for a while and said,
"Could it be that the aunt of the Mou family disagrees with this marriage?"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her,
"She's not dizzy... I guess she's probably not satisfied with this marriage!"
Miss Yang Liu asked dissatisfied and puzzled,
"Why? Cousin, how am I inferior to others?"
Mrs. Zhang sighed and thought to herself,
"You are certainly good in appearance, but your temperament..."
Mrs. Zhang has seen how Miss Yang Liu gets along with her daughters after being in the capital for so long. Although her daughters also have the little intention of bullying outsiders, you, Yang Liu, are here to beg for help and live under someone else's roof.
I don’t know how to control my temper,
On the contrary, he always shows off his jewelry, fox fur and gorgeous clothes. You said you use them to give away to people to please your sisters and get closer to each other. But it makes people's hearts flutter. When you ask for it, you act like you look down on the poor.
Son, who wouldn’t be angry when seeing this?
You must know that although Mrs. Zhang is married to a noble censor, her natal family is also wealthy. The Yang family is far away from the capital. Except for some gifts during the New Year, the Xue family has no use for them on weekdays.
