Four hundred and seventieth IX official position
Yang was very persuading and finally coaxed his daughter. It was easy to coax his daughter, but it was difficult to coax his daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were born with mortal enemies, not to mention that her relationship with Meng Yan was not a simple mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In front of Meng Yan, she was always a bit unjust and had no confidence.
Meng Yan's actions today were obviously rejecting the idea of taking her everywhere, which was contrary to her original idea. If she could not leave the circle of noble ladies in Yancheng, she could not find a good marriage for her daughter. Her daughter is not young and could not waste her time day by day.
It seems that he was too anxious before. Yang decided to adjust his practice and not to be in one step, so he had to take his time. Since it is difficult to go to the Prince's Mansion, he should start with the neighbors around him.
Is it better to be a close neighbor than a distant relative? After all, she is Meng Yan's mother-in-law now. Meng Yan's father is now a hot official, and his brother-in-law is another prince. Their family is quite good. If they can slowly choose the right person by introducing neighbors and other methods. After the choice is made, wouldn't it be better to find a way to make Meng Yan use the relationship to make a good marriage?
I think Meng Yan doesn't want her sister-in-law to get married every day, so she just makes trouble with her at home. She says a few good things and makes a simple effort. I guess Meng Yan is still happy. She has observed that Meng Yan is not a person with a small and petty attitude.
Yang's little abacus can't escape Meng Yan's mother's eyes.
After secretly giving gifts to the royal palace last time, Meng Yan asked Ping's mother to keep an eye on the Yang family's mother and daughter. The house was full of her own people. It was a joke to ask the Yang family's mother and daughter to do some small moves.
Yang changed her strategy and had frequent interactions with her neighbors. She knew that Yang had a brief thought and knew what Yang had to do. She was really happy to see that she was successful. As long as she was not troubled by her, she would take responsibility and do whatever Yang did. If Yang could really find a good family for Zhou Caier with her perfect tongue, she would have solved a problem.
At most, she would ask someone to check the son-in-law selected by Yang, as long as she was not too slutty, let Zhou Caier fall into the fire pit, make trouble every day, and find trouble for her parents' family. As for whether she lives a happy life is Zhou Caier's own business, just Zhou Caier's temperament, if she doesn't change, she will never marry any kind of good family.
In order to avoid being upset by the Yang family's mother and daughter every day, Meng Yan still went to the Chu family where Meng Si married for a few more times as her mother said.
Although it was a family affection, the Chu family had the idea of resigning from marriage and was frightened by Meng Shen's words. But in the end, there were not so many qualities in the merchant family. It seemed that Mrs. Chu was an orphan with unknown parents and was sold to a wealthy family as a maid since she was a child. When Mr. Chu was young, she went out to be an apprentice and learned skills. When the master saw that he was smart and clever, he was not honest and worked hard to work hard, so he gave Mrs. Chu, who was still a little maid, and made him a family. The couple worked together and slowly earned a family business.
Such people will naturally not be too picky about their daughter-in-law's background. They may also mind, but they will not be able to survive. Meng Si is also a good person. He is careful to serve, act properly, and is able to endure hardships. He can gradually win unanimous praise from the Chu family. Naturally, everyone has a tacit understanding and no longer mentions the previous unhappiness.
Even the always difficult Mishi, after Mengshen's death, lost her backer and was scared by Mrs. Meng's sends someone to scare her a few words. Although she can't stand Meng Si's good life, she can't take care of her married daughter too much. Apart from the holidays and when Meng Si goes back to the door to say a few unpleasant words, she does nothing at all.
Meng Si's only requirement for getting married was to take Meng Nian away. At that time, Mi Shi was thinking about selling her daughter. Although she was not happy, she was afraid that Meng Si would not marry and the scene would be difficult to deal with, so she agreed.
Now the Mengsi sisters are really sad.
But after all, a young girl who is not married has been living under others for many years. Meng Si must be careful in being a human being in the Chu family, and there are inevitably some places that cannot be taken care of. Meng Yan happened to be idle and bored, and in order to find something to do so that her husband would not have to study quietly. She was bored alone and stared at Yang's mother and daughter all day long, so she took Meng Nian to be a companion to relieve her boredom.
In this way, Yang was given a chance.
When Yang visited his neighbor's house, he couldn't say he wanted to marry his daughter, so he used the essay as a guise to see if it worked.
Although the people living in this area are all small-family people, they are not a place where high-ranking officials and nobles gather. Relatively speaking, the Zhou family is still a high-ranking family, let alone the Zhou family's in-laws and Meng family.
Yang is willing to make friends, so the smart women around him are naturally happy, saying that being a matchmaker is a woman’s nature.
On this day, Yang visited a family named Chen.
Mrs. Chen is an enthusiastic person. When she heard that Yang had a niece and wanted to talk to her, she immediately became concerned, saying that her uncle, the son of her mother's uncle, who had a cousin, was trying to find a wife.
My uncle is a widower and has a good relationship with his wife in front. He is afraid that after marrying his second wife, he will not marry again. He has a house and land at home. He is a constable in the yamen, and his son is practicing martial arts. Now he is a small yamen runner in the yamen. Although his choreography is not conspicuous, his child is only sixteen years old.
There is no need to worry about food and clothing at home. At such a young age, it is not up to my father. It is rare for children to go out to work. Others are not as good as they are waiting for their elders to arrange everything. The child could have stayed at home to practice martial arts with peace of mind. At that time, he would have won a fortune and become an official in the martial arts exam.
It can be seen that he is a hardworking person.
Just a little yamen runner, Yang naturally looked down on him, so he asked around the bush if there were any other good candidates.
Mrs. Chen is also a shrewd person. It can be seen that Yang doesn’t like it, so she can’t help but feel a pity. In fact, such marriages are very affordable. Without a mother-in-law, she will be the master of the house when she comes in. The man is honest. She wants to have a daughter and is willing to marry into such a family.
But it is understandable to think about the in-laws that Yang revealed.
I thought about it and thought of a suitable candidate.
It is said that it is a family with the surname Li, but it is amazing to talk about this family. My sister is the daughter-in-law of the Prince of Guo County. Although she is just a nephew, she is very close to the legitimate family and is also a child of a noble family. However, since she is a child of a noble family, she has a high vision and requires a good family background and a good appearance. She also needs talent and knowledge.
Yang was a little overjoyed when he heard the words "Gu County Prince's Mansion and children of aristocratic families". He thought that if his daughter could marry into such a family, would he have to look at the Meng family's expression? Doesn't the Meng family have a daughter as a princess? If he could get in touch with another royal family, it would be fine, so he hurriedly begged Mrs. Chen to help him and say goodbye.
Mrs. Chen is naturally happy to be a good thing about adult beauty.
Naturally, I found the Li family.
After hearing Mrs. Chen’s family’s family background, the Li family was also a little moved and revealed that they wanted to discuss in detail. The two parties first passed the message. They understood their respective conditions almost exactly. It was the turn of the two women to make an appointment to meet each other and talk further.
However, the day of meeting was agreed. Yang made some preparations and waited for the meeting. Mrs. Chen suddenly canceled the agreement, saying that the Li family had something to do temporarily and could not come.
Yang didn't think there was anything at first. Who could have no urgent matters? He just thought about rescheduling and talking, as a woman, she couldn't seem too good.
But who expected that after this reschedule, there was no following. After several times, Mrs. Chen went to the Chen family. She never mentioned this matter again. Whenever Yang took the initiative to mention this, Mrs. Chen avoided the topic.
Yang was a little dissatisfied, especially after this incident. Neighbors on both sides did not seem to be talking about the marriage for their daughter. They had heard that they had two unmarried girls in their family, so they all enthusiastically said they wanted to help matchmakers.
After asking around, someone secretly hinted at her that it seemed that Mrs. Chen had said something.
Yang immediately became popular and immediately killed the Chen family to ask Mrs. Chen for reason.
Mrs. Chen started to stammer and refused to admit it. When Mrs. Yang seemed to be unwilling to give up and wanted to take her to confront her neighbors, Mrs. Chen told the truth.
It turned out that the Li family began to be moved by this marriage, but after inquiring, they immediately became unhappy and complained that she randomly introduced her good son to her family... the girl who was resigned from her.
Mrs. Chen seemed very aggrieved and said that Yang had not made it clear before that being quitted was the top priority, so how could it be hidden from it? I had said before that the Li family is a noble family, so it is natural that the choice of a wife should be stricter, and it is not enough to be quitted.
Yang's face turned red immediately. She thought that her hometown in Yancheng was farther away. Even if the Li family sent someone to inquire, the Zhou family would not say anything. After all, this was not a glorious thing. How could she know? Before she started discussing marriage, she found out about the situation.
It doesn't matter if this marriage is ruined, but if Mrs. Chen is talking nonsense outside that her daughter is nearby, she should not want to marry into a good family. She hurriedly explained that the family was suffering from a serious illness and she took the initiative to quit the marriage. Their family had no choice but to quit it, and it had nothing to do with her daughter.
Mrs. Chen waved her hand and told the truth to Mrs. Yang.
Yancheng is really not big, and it is easy to find out some things if you are interested. Quan Yaobei, the son of the Quan family, was also a good son-in-law in the eyes of many people. He had to have family affairs, talent and talent. He had never heard of any serious illness. The only flaw was probably because Master Quan San lost a lot of money in business some time ago, and the third wife of the Quan family was injured and life became hard.
At this time, when the Quan family voluntarily retired, everyone will find it strange. Either the Zhou family despises the poor and loves the rich, and refuses to get married when the three families of the Quan family are declining. Or if the Zhou family’s daughter has something wrong, they will take the initiative to retire and take responsibility for themselves in order to take care of the Zhou family's face.
No matter which one is it, the daughter of the Zhou family and the children of aristocratic families will never consider it.
Mrs. Chen also sincerely persuaded that since this is the case in the Zhou family, don’t expect any children from famous families, or choose some motivated poor families, or lower the requirements... In short, don’t ask for so many.
Yang was really anxious and wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain.
What Mrs. Chen said is also a fact. As long as you notice a little, you will naturally be able to find out clearly afterwards.
What should I do?
She begged Mrs. Chen to help find a solution.
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a long time before she told a way. In fact, the marriage was not so desperate. If she really wanted to get it together, it would be okay.
Yang's eyes lit up and naturally asked Mrs. Chen how to solve it?
Mrs. Chen felt a little embarrassed and lowered her voice, saying that although the Li family was a noble family, many times, the noble family couldn't speak in some matters. The father of the Li family's son was just a free official. For many years, he wanted to move his seat, even if he was released, but it was not so easy in the officialdom.
If the Yang family had a way and could help Li's father move his official position, the marriage would naturally be done. If the father-in-law did a good job in his official position, his family would naturally be better. If Yang's daughter married, who dares to underestimate her in-laws' family?
When seeking an official position, Yang suddenly felt bitter. Her husband was just a teacher, and her nominal son was just a juren. The Zhou family was considered a family of aristocratic families in the local area, but nothing was in Yancheng. What's more, she was not familiar with the place in Yancheng, and her daughter's marriage was all due to the help of her neighbors, so she was able to help others find an official position.
Mrs. Chen said mysteriously that she had no ability, so how could she have several powerful in-laws?
Recently, her in-laws, Mr. Meng, can be said to be very popular in the court now, and Mr. Ding, the son-in-law of the Meng family, is even more than ten thousand people. After moving his official position, Mr. Meng is an example of this in just one sentence.
Speaking of which, when Mr. Meng got off the position of military general, he became a civil servant all at once, and he was still very short of money and was promoted in a short period of time. This is the reason why Mr. Meng has the ability, but more probably because of a good son-in-law.
Later, Mrs. Chen told Yang a lot of good things about the Li family, and said how good the Li family described it, and she was suggesting that the current affairs of Yang's daughter were not hidden. A girl who retired from marriage wanted to marry into a good family.
Unless you have great luck, it is not that Princess Ding, a concubine who was retired from marriage, could marry Princess Ding, but it was not up to luck. It was mainly because Mr. Meng had the power of military power at the beginning and wanted to unite with the strong. But later, Mr. Meng made some mistakes and was demoted. Outsiders did not know the inside story and thought Princess Ding was lucky.
Mrs. Chen is very eloquent. She is very moved by Yang, and she also speaks of the Meng family and the Ding Prince's Mansion as boundless. It is very easy to find an official position for others and ask for a sentence.
Yang couldn't help but think of the other son of the Zhou family, Zhou Juren's second brother, who had an inexplicable flaw. The clan members also said in secret that the Zhou family had a good marriage and the other party helped.
Mr. Zhou naturally refused to admit this, saying that his son had excellent political achievements in the local area and was promoted so that others could not say anything, but he just said a few words behind his back and muttered a few times.
