Chapter 771: The Relationship Between Characters Is Too Complicated
Translator: 549690339 |
“I’m sixteen this year.”
Not much.” Madam Yuan said,”Xin Ye married your brother at the age of sixteen. Isn’t that good?””
Xie Wan could not help but laugh. How afraid was her mother was of her making a mistake that would cause her eternal regret.
“Mother, don’t worry. I’m not a person who is blinded by beauty.”
Lady Yuan thought to herself, ‘It’s obvious that the person who said such words is a person from the US.’ Look at his son. He’s the same. Otherwise, how could he see through her with one look? Wasn’t this admitting that Zhuge Shu was beautiful?
Of course, she had to admit that Zhuge Shu was a beauty.
He was well-versed in literature and martial arts. He was neither as weak as a scholar nor as rough as a martial artist. His spirit was full, and it was rare for him to be so devoted to his daughter. Back then, when he was sent to the diplomatic mission to act as a diplomatic envoy, he had returned the marriage contract and let the Xie Clan consider it themselves. Just this point alone was a good character.
Oh no, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Zhuge Shu was a good candidate.
Madam Yuan shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off this ridiculous idea. “I’m 16 this year. Even if I find someone else to marry, I’ll get married at the end of the year at the earliest. If anything goes wrong, it’ll be next year.” “Seventeen, we can afford to be late.” Madam Yuan said.
Xiao Baoxin held back his words. His mother-in-law’s intention to ruin the marriage was too obvious.
On the surface, it was democratic, but on the inside, it had the intention of making a decision.
” Mother.” Xie Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you still going to let me say it…What kind of person should I find first? A scion of an aristocratic family or a commoner? Those who are the same age as me are basically either married or engaged.
In Daliang, most of them have already set up their engagement at the age of twelve or thirteen, or even earlier. Those who are younger than me are a few years younger than me?”
“If you find someone older than me, they either have a bad character or a bad family background. Otherwise, they are either in mourning or have just finished mourning.”
“As for marrying an older man as a second wife, I don’t want to. No matter how talented and capable they are, I don’t want them. If she married over, the relationship between the characters would be too complicated.”
Every word he said was reasonable.
After hearing this, Madam Yuan also understood that the young lady was not only blinded by beauty, but she had also thought it through and covered every aspect.
Zhuge Shu first said that this person has a good character. As for how Minister Zhuge is, and what kind of second string he chose, it’s not something I should comment on. If he really wanted to marry a noble daughter from an aristocratic family, in my opinion, he wouldn’t be as good as the ninth princess of Rouran. At least, she s not smart enough to scheme against me.”
Madam Yuan almost spat out her tea on the spot.
“You child-”
Xiao Baoxin actually listened to every word. It was too reasonable.
With Xie Wan’s scheming methods, wouldn’t she be able to control the ninth princess of Rouran one by one? Even if he sold her, he would have to count the money for Seventh Madame.
“When brother agreed to this marriage for me, Minister Zhuge was still an ordinary chief historian. He did not have much potential and strength. Minister Zhuge and the Ninth Princess of Rouran…This is their business. I don’t expect Zhuge Shu to have many achievements in the court, as long as his character is noble. Anyway, I don’t lack money.”
These words were said with confidence!
It really wasn’t bad. The Xie family was a century-old aristocratic family. When the eldest daughter of the Di branch got married, it wasn’t something that other Lil ‘Miss could compare to. Xie Shan was also a Di daughter, so she was also ranked behind.
Furthermore, when Lady Yuan was the mistress, the Yuan Family was still at its peak. No matter which daughter got married, the dowry would be generous. Especially the third daughter who married into the Xie Family, she had the most money, more than half of the dowry than the two older sisters. She had only given birth to a son and a daughter in her entire life. Her son was a rake for money, so why couldn’t she add more dowry to her daughter?
Xie Wan saw it all and knew what to do.
Madam Yuan looked at her daughter with a reproachful look. What a smart girl.
She would be at ease no matter which family she married into.
“Ah Lang, what do you mean?” When she asked, she was somewhat moved by her daughter.
In the end, they could only wait for Xie Xian to make the final decision.
“What I mean is to respect Seventh Madame’s wishes. Moreover, Seventh Madame said it clearly and logically. Brother can only support her. “Xie Xian smiled,”! have the same idea as Seventh Madame.” What I value more is Zhuge Shu’s temperament, and other things like his future…There was no need to be overly concerned.
Gold will always shine, and if it doesn’t shine in the east, it will shine in the west.”
“If you don’t want to, just go to Rouran. “Although Madam Yuan was convinced, she was still nervous.
It was a matter of a daughter’s life, and it was very difficult to settle it.
What if he was not happy?
“.. Mother, your son’s taste isn’t that bad. Zhuge Shu was not that stupid. If Dahang was not a good place to stay, then the resources and food that were thousands of miles away were not abundant. Rouran, who had to plunder for a living, would not be destroyed unless they were at the end of their rope.” “No one from the Zhuge family has come to visit for so many days. What are they thinking? Are you sure that our Xie family will marry our daughter over? “Mrs. Yuan asked.
There was nothing else to choose from, and he was not satisfied with the Zhuge family’s attitude.
At least not actively.
It s said that they should raise their heads to marry their daughters and lower their heads to marry their wives. This is the time for them to lower their heads, but there s no reaction. It’s as if she won’t marry anyone but him.”
This sentence hit Xie Wan’s heart.”Brother?”
Zhuge Shu found me after the morning court session today. I respect Seventh Madame’s wishes.” As for her haggard appearance and bloodshot eyes, Xie Xian ignored them all.
It mainly depended on Seventh Madame’s attitude.
Seventh Madame’s words of not marrying were like fleeting smoke. Even if she had looked for him, he would pretend that she had never looked for him.
As long as he knows of Seventh Madame’s decision, he will immediately present the marriage contract and ask for forgiveness from the Xie family. In short, it was the Zhuge family’s fault. He… He said that he would bear the responsibility.”
You can t say anything about your father behind closed doors, but in front of outsiders, you can’t say a word.
Zhuge Shu was also quite aggrieved. Of course, the instigator was the Ninth Princess of Rouran. His father was also a victim.
“If you’re so kind, you should take the initiative to ask for forgiveness.” Madam Yuan snorted coldly.”
Mother,” Xie Xian said, “A man and a woman getting married have their parents ‘orders, but that person is his father…Who is he apologizing for?” As for the Xie family canceling the engagement, they would definitely go to the Xie family to make their stance clear. At least, the Xie family was not at fault.
It could be said that this was quite sincere.
As for Minister Zhuge, he met with me yesterday and made his attitude clear.
If Seventh Lady married into the family, the food would be handed over to hen The Ninth Princess was not cut out to be the head of the family, and she would not allow her to do so.”
Since things had come to this, Madam Yuan could be said to be quite satisfied.
“Then we have to take good care of that Rouran Ninth Princess. Don’t take a fancy to our Ah Shu one day.”
Pfft, in the blink of an eye, it was not Zhuge Shu, but Ah Shu.
.. Zhuge Shangshu seems to have the intention of retiring. “Xie Xian hesitated slightly, not knowing if he should say this at this time or not.
