Chapter 31 Salted Fish Eating Melon 3
Yes, since there are many people in the Wang family, there will naturally be more troubles. Many people in Beijing like to use the Wang family's troubles as food.
Although Wang Xi was rich and powerful at this time and others did not dare to do anything to him, it was still okay to laugh at their family in private.
The thing about the Wang family that has been ridiculed recently is that Wang Xi is getting older and older, and each house wants to grab more money, and they make all kinds of jokes, including but not limited to: each house is trying to grab more money. He raised Wang Xi, and then used the "Son of Heaven" to command the princes, some of whom carried Wang Xi's banner. Some people want to coax Wang Xi to hand over one of his money-making projects to them, and then such a thing will definitely be attacked by others. After all, Wang Xi has too many sons, but there are only so many money-making projects. It's not enough for more than 100 sons, so they make a lot of noise every day.
Because the Wang family sent people to inquire about the Ye family, Ye's father and mother naturally began to discuss the matter. Then they heard from the servants that the young lady was here. They couldn't help but look at each other in confusion, wondering why Linlang was here. Isn't she usually taking a nap in the afternoon at this time?
Then when Linlang came in, he asked the others to go down and asked Ye's father and mother, "I heard the news that the Wang family sent someone to inquire and wanted to propose marriage to their 100th son. Is there anyone?" Is that such a thing?"
Although Father Ye and Mother Ye were surprised how Linlang knew about this, they still sighed and said, "Yes, it is such a thing."
< br>Linlang said: "My daughter doesn't want to marry into their family. They There are many families and many conflicts. I want to marry into a simpler family. Besides, his father married so many young wives, and his brothers also married many young wives. It can be seen that their family is a bunch of perverts. , I don’t want to Marry a man who has countless wives.”
“How can you talk about the girl’s family?” Although Father Ye frowned and scolded Linlang for not keeping his mouth shut, he called the Wang family lewdly. In fact, I agree with it.
Although the family conditions of this Wang family are good, other conditions are not so good - there are too many people in the family, and conflicts are complicated; most of the men have inherited Wang Xi's lustful character and are dirty and smelly. Everyone was pulled into the house.
Although it is normal for people in this era to have three wives and four concubines, they cannot have so many. Besides, there are more conflicts when there are more people. Who likes a family with many conflicts.
If he is the kind of person who is accommodating and greedy for money, he may be willing to marry his daughter to a son of the Wang family for the tens of thousands of taels of silver as a betrothal gift and the power of the Wang family, no matter how bad the Wang family's son is.
However, the conditions of the Ye family are not bad, and Ye's father and mother also care about the original body, and will not marry off their daughter for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
As for the power of the Wang family... The Wang family has more than a hundred sons, which means that the Wang family has more than a hundred in-laws. If you add in the concubine's natal family - after all, the Wang family treats women equally. , in addition to not daring to violate the court regulations, let everyone Women are all wives, and in other aspects, the treatment of concubines is similar to that of the head wives (so when the Wang family fell later, another crime was that they spoiled their concubines and destroyed their wives, and did not repair the inner curtains), so the concubines’ natal family was also their in-laws. If you count this way, there are hundreds of in-laws in the Wang family.
No matter how many hundreds of in-laws you take care of, it is still limited.
In addition, they have no interest in following the trend, so they are actually unwilling to talk to the Wang family.
But the Ye family is also a merchant family - although they are high-ranking royal merchants, not ordinary merchants - they are afraid that their business will be suppressed by the Wang family, so they are a little worried at the moment, thinking about what to do.
There are many in-laws, and if you want to get taken care of by marrying the Wang family, you won't get much. But if you offend them and cause trouble for you, it will be easy.
Now that my daughter said she didn’t want to marry, Father Ye and Mother Ye became even more worried.
Although they thought the same thing as their daughter, they did not want her to marry Wang Xi's 100th son, but they were afraid that if they refused, the Wang family would suppress their own business. What should they do?
Linlang could see the worry of Ye's father and Ye's mother, and immediately said: "I was taking a nap after dinner just now, and I dreamed of my great-grandmother. Great-grandmother asked me not to marry into the Wang family, saying that something would happen to the Wang family soon, so I would marry her, so as not to be implicated."
Linlang knew that she could not convince Ye’s father and Ye’s mother using ordinary methods, so she used the method of entrusting her with dreams. Anyway, don't worry about this statement being inaccurate. Her parents will believe it when the Wang family falls in a year.
As expected, when she said this, Father Ye and Mother Ye couldn't help but look at each other and said, "Did your great-grandmother really say that?"
Linlang nodded and said: "Really, he also said that something will happen in a year. It was because of such a dream that my daughter couldn't sleep. She quickly came over and told her parents about this."
Hearing Linlang say this, Ye's father and Ye's mother hesitated and said: "Okay, let's think about it again."
Hearing Ye's father and Ye's mother say this, Linlang knew that they might be shaken and might not continue. After marrying her off, I felt relieved immediately.
Then Linlang warned again: "Don't tell anyone what great-grandmother said, lest it spread to the ears of the Wang family. If the Wang family is alert, nothing will happen."
Linlang I don't want to tell the Wang family about the accident in advance, so that the Wang family can be prepared, and then the Wang family doesn't get into trouble.
After listening to Linlang’s instructions, Father Ye and Mother Ye said, “I know, we will definitely not tell you.”
After Linlang left, Ye's mother said to Ye's father: "Linlang said so, what should we do? Reject the Wang family?"
Ye's father touched his beard and said: "If you refuse, you must refuse. Yes, but I have to find an excuse to avoid being troubled by the Wang family. I just need to wait until next year. Didn’t my daughter say that something will happen to the Wang family next year?”
“Who knows whether this is true or not?” Mother Ye. road.
Father Ye said: "Whether it's true or not, let's postpone it until next year anyway. If something happens to the Wang family next year, then we don't have to worry; if nothing happens to the Wang family next year, then we'll talk about it then. Anyway, Let’s postpone it for a year.”
Ye Mu thought so, so she nodded in agreement.
Now that the couple had discussed it, they immediately approached Linlang and said that they wanted to find an excuse to wait until next year. They asked her if she had any good ideas. If she didn't, they would let her get "sick" until next year.
But there is also a disadvantage to being sick, that is, it will affect her image. In the future, others will think that she is sick, and it will be inconvenient to find a good family to marry.
Linlang didn’t want to pretend to be sick, but she didn’t want to pretend to be sick, not because of the marriage, but because of the inconvenience of pretending to be sick, that is, it was inconvenient for her to go out to eat, drink and have fun. How could this be done? , so Linlang said immediately: "There is no need to use illness as an excuse. I heard that his biological mother was close to a Taoist nun, so she gave the Taoist nun flowers." Pay some money, and when the horoscopes are matched, ask the Taoist nun to tell his biological mother that her son and I have different horoscopes, and it will cost her money. I guarantee that she will not agree to the marriage. In this way, they are the ones who do not agree to the marriage. Don’t worry about offending their family.”
