The Beautiful Land - Chapter 123
“If my family doesn’t object, will you marry me?” Shen Qianlan heard the words and did not answer the question.
Xi Fuwei pursed her mouth, thinking for a moment before saying: “This is a big deal, I need to think about it for a few days.”
“You’ve already heard that I am the second son of my family, and I have a sibling above. Underneath are my younger siblings, a younger brother, and a younger sister.” Shen Dilan seemed to smile and said, “At home I have always been disciplined and disciplined. Since I was a child, I have studied martial arts, even if it is a day, I can’t slacken in the slightest. Therefore, in my marriage, they don’t require marriage to famous people.”
Although the room was dim at the moment, and they couldn’t see each other’s expressions clearly, Shen Pilan could also guess that Xi Fuwei was suspicious.
He slowly explained, “In fact, the reason is very simple. The carefully cultivated children naturally seek to advance themselves and make a career, instead of thinking about finding a distinguished lady to marry and enjoying the light of the Yue family. Ruoguo With the idea of relying on my wife’s clan, how can I cultivate the spirit of striving for the top? But my concubines, and my concubine, are a little tired and lazy. Although my father and brother have been strict in supervision, they still have no intention of being competitive. So the family decided , Their marriage must be done right.”
This is the Shen family’s attitude towards children’s marriages, and it is also a common unspoken rule among high-ranking families: don’t ask for motivated children, such as what Shen Pilan said, the few stubborn brothers under him, the family will not let them Low-married.
This is not only because they do not believe in their future ability to manage the house, so they have to find a wife for them to share the risk, but also because such children can’t make much contribution to the family, and even cause trouble for the family. Jin Yi Yushi is raised, and the only use is marriage.
It’s Tan Blue who is capable and promising. Although the family also hopes that they can find a wife who is right, they are just icing on the cake.
If the girl they are looking for is from a relatively low background, as long as it is not a mess, but is still in the category of a good family, it can generally be discussed.
After all, such children, one is that they can get ahead without a wife and cannot live up to the family’s investment; the second is that being able means having their own opinions and ideas, even if they are temporarily suppressed by their elders because of their youth, they will rebound in the future. It’s a chicken and egg fight. Even in a prosperous family, outstanding children are always worth cherishing; the third is because marriage is a good marriage of two surnames, forcing talented children to marry a woman he doesn’t like. Those who are more reasonable are okay, but those who are less reasonable will vent their anger on the woman whom the elders marry him. It’s not that people have no maiden family. When they get married and become enemies, why bother?
Shen Qianlan, who was born in the noble family, knew this tacit understanding. The previous marriage to the Song family failed as an example.
After the Shen family learned of Song Jianiang’s actions, although they were not happy, they had not yet decided to give up the marriage.
After all, Song Jianiang comes from a good background, and she really loves Chen Qianlan. She is ignorant, can she learn it, because she is still young and confused.
But Shen Pilan sent a message back to say that he didn’t want the girl, and the Shen family soon euphemistically said to the Song family not to mention the marriage, just as nothing happened.
His progeny status, performance over the years, and predictable future are enough to ensure that he has a considerable say in his marriage.
Rather than a few younger brothers, either marrying or being driven out of Shen’s residence, to live a life without family protection, until they surrender or wake up, choose to marry or rise up.
The prosperity of a family always requires everyone to participate as much as possible.
It is impossible to let most people become parasites.
In that way, the family was gone for a few days.
After all, Xi Fuwei was only a squire, and the generations of the Xi family have few heirs. Naturally, they are very strange to the real high-level thoughts.
At this moment, listening to the words of Tan Lan, can not help but ponder.
Tan Lan paused and said: “And the world has only been under peace for a few years. Don’t you think how many people in the current dynasty are real family names, high above them. As the saying goes, three generations of officials only know how to dress and eat. My Shen Jiazu Uehara also Poor, during the Hongwu period, my grandfather was just a soldier in the North. He made frequent military exploits in the Battle of Jingnan, and he was only in the public waiting!”
“It’s my outside family and the natal family of today’s prince concubine. The ancestors traced back several generations, and it is also very cold.”
“Therefore, whether it is the princess or the mother, the temperament is very peaceful, and there is not much opinion about it.”
Xi Fuwei said that I can greet all three religions and nine liu with a calm heart, but if Xi Jiao grows up and wants to marry a wife, I definitely hope that he finds a rich daughter. It is best if his family is powerful and willing to give him a hand. That kind of…the human heart is like this, it’s not right or wrong.
She whispered: “I’m in a mess right now. Will I be able to answer you in two days?”
Shen Pilan heard the words, knowing that he couldn’t get a definite answer today, sighed inwardly, and said softly: “Yes.”
“My lord…” Seeing this topic was revealed, Xi Fuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and cared about tonight’s actions, but was interrupted only when she spoke, “You did not have a formal position under my command before, and now I am interested. If you hire you, the so-called relationship between the boss and the subordinates can’t continue…you can just call me, do you remember me?”
Xi Fuwei bit her lower lip and said, “Youqing, you have been here for a long time, and you don’t know what happened to Xing Xingshou?”
“I’ve arranged it all.” Shen Xiaolan chuckled lightly, and said, “Tonight, they are watching over the enemy. You don’t have to bother with me.”
Xi Fuwei said that it’s normal that I don’t bother, and if you don’t bother, will you take the lead to visit the kiln by pretending to be paralyzed?
“It’s pickled here, it’s better than I send you away first.” Thinking about this, Shen Dilan said again, “I also save waiting for the sword and shadow to disturb you.”
“What does Xing Xingshou want to do?” Xi Fuwei let out a “um”, and felt that he stretched out his hand to support her elbow and led the door downstairs. She followed carefully and asked in a low voice, “She is the King of Han.” People?”
When she was confessed, her treatment was suddenly different. She had asked similar questions before, and Chen Qianlan basically either handed her a look of “this is not what you should ask”, or just told her to shut up and do her own thing. it is good.
At this moment, he said without hesitation: “Xing Fanggui was the daughter of a senior member of Jianwen. When she is now on the throne, because of the actions of her father and brother, the mother and sister were allowed to be the wife of an elephant slave, and she was tortured to death soon. She is outstanding, and she was sold by an exception officer and entered into a prostitute. If not, she should be on the same level as Miss Song. So she didn’t say anything, but she must have a deep resentment towards Jining. I heard that she came to Jining in person. , I’m on guard.”
Elephant slaves are servants who take care of elephants. These people are from humble origins, such as prisoners of war. Some are even mahouts who are familiar with the temperament of elephants and are tribute to neighboring countries.
At this time, the people of the country, although they have experienced the tragic death of Yashan at the time of the Song Dynasty, and have only broken free from the so-called golden family’s enslavement, but the self-esteem that belonged to the Han nationality since ancient times is still there. Not on the table.
Especially under the scholar, peasant, industry and commerce, from the noble ladies and ladies of the noble family to being bullied by slaves… the humiliation brought by this gap, it is really impossible for Xing Fanggui to have no resentment towards Emperor Yongle.
“So, Xing Fang is the remnant of Jianwen?” Xi Fuwei’s heart jumped and said, “Is she here to contact Zou Mansion?”
Shen Qianlan said, “I haven’t found out that she has contacted Zou Mansion. The matter tonight is mainly about Han Wang.”
“The King of Han?” Xi Fuwei said in amazement, “If she complains to her Majesty…How can she still do things for the King of Han? The King of Han is also the blood of his majesty.”
Before Shen Pilan answered, she woke up again and said, “She deliberately wants to see the flesh and blood of the heavenly family.”
The two of them had already walked downstairs while they were talking. This was a small hall with lights on, but the lamp shade was a bit thicker, and the light was vague and not very clear.
The faces of the two people photographed were a little hazy.
The door was ajar, and the north wind tried hard to squeeze in. The hot air from the stove behind the door was not left.
Xi Fuwei couldn’t help but want to solve Hu Qiu again: “Even if things go well tonight, the next thing is just the paperwork, and you still need to sit down to open the river… If you have a cold or something, wouldn’t it? Missing the overall situation?”
Shen Pilan looked at her with interest and smiled: “Do you really want me to wear fox fur?”
Seeing Xi Fuwei nodded, he said again, “But I am even more afraid of you catching a cold.”
“Isn’t you leaving now?” Xi Fuwei said, “It won’t be cold anymore when I go to the carriage… Besides, even if I catch a cold, I can take care of it slowly. There is nothing important to worry about.”
“That’s okay.” Shen Pilan thought for a while, and said, “You give me the fox fur.”
Xi Fuwei agreed and took off the fur and handed it to him.
During this process, Shen Pilan kept looking at her intently, and after seeing that she did not show any discomfort because of her consent, she narrowed her eyes.
He took the fox fur and quickly put it on, and before Xi Fuwei could react, he took her into his arms!
“This way we both won’t be cold anymore.” Xi Fuwei was startled, instinctively trying to struggle, but heard this person say with a low smile, “Just a few steps, will you get off?”
“…” Xi Fuwei was speechless, struggling, “No, I’m not afraid of the cold, I can just go to the carriage like this.”
She just said that she needed to think about it before answering Chen Qianlan, but in fact, she had already thought about it.
He didn’t intend to agree to the promising second son Shen’s proposal.
the reason is simple.
Even if the Shen family agreed to Chen Qianlan to marry her, they would know that after passing the door, they would not take her seriously.
Not to mention deliberately making trouble, the attitude is definitely not much better.
After all, the difference in background lies here.
How could Gao Pan not pay the price?
According to Xi Fuwei’s own original plan, she did not leave the cabinet, relying on the money in her hands and the relationship she had established in Jinyiwei, to recruit people and become a family. Although she was not as decent and powerful as marrying Chen Pilan, she was too comfortable. too much.
She can’t say that she has no good feelings about Chen Pilan, after all, whether this person is talent, family background or appearance…Most young girls are tempted.
If the two sides are right, Xi Fuwei will not be dragged down by family feud, maybe she will take the initiative like Yao Zhuosu.
However, Xi Fuwei felt that her love for Chen Pilan was not deep enough to be willing to be a lowly junior for him for a lifetime.
She didn’t say this on the spot.
After all, the status is not equal, she is not sure how Shen Tielan will react after hearing these words.
For the sake of her own safety, Xi Fuwei felt that she still had to wait for a while.
Looking back, she might dismiss him with an idea that had the best of both worlds.
So at this moment, he subconsciously refused to get close to Chen Thiellan.
“Are you trying to refuse me?” However, when the voice fell, she noticed that Tan Lan’s movements became stiff, and then the person slowly asked, “Are you already thinking about how to get rid of me? ?”
