Yes, since there are many people in the Wang family, there will naturally be more troubles. Many people in the capital like to use the Wang family's troubles as food.
Although Wang Xi was rich and powerful at this time, others did not dare to do anything to him, but it was still okay to laugh at their family in private.
The reason why the Wang family has been ridiculed recently is definitely because Wang Xi is getting older, and each family wants to grab more money, and they make all kinds of jokes, including but not limited to: each family rushes to raise Wang Xi, and then threatens to The "Emperor" ordered the princes, some to make money under the banner of Wang Xi, and some wanted to coax Wang Xi to hand over one of his money-making projects to them. Then such a thing would definitely be attacked by others. After all, Wang Xi There were too many sons in the past, but there were only so many money-making projects, which were not enough for more than a hundred sons, so they were noisy 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, thinking why Linlang was here. Normally at this time, she was not Taking an afternoon nap?
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 this the case?"
Although Father Ye and Mother Ye were surprised how Linlang knew about this, they still sighed and said, "Yes, there is such a thing."
Linlang said: "My daughter doesn't want to marry into their family. They have a large family and many conflicts. I want to marry into a simpler family. Besides, his father married so many young wives, and his brothers also married one or two. There are many little wives, it can be seen that their family is full of perverts, and I don’t want to marry someone who has countless little wives.”
"Girl, how can you talk?" Although Father Ye frowned and scolded Linlang for not keeping the door open and calling the Wang family lewdly, he actually agreed in his heart.
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 and lustful character, and they will bring dirty and smelly things 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 was the kind of person who was swayed by others and greedy for money, he might be willing to marry his daughter to a son of the Wang family, no matter how bad the Wang family's son was, for the sake of the Wang family's tens of thousands of taels of silver as a betrothal gift and the Wang family's power.
However, the conditions of the Ye family are not bad, and Ye's father and mother also care about her, and will not marry her daughter off 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, except they dare not violate the court. It is stipulated that every woman should be a wife, and in other aspects, the treatment of concubines is similar to that of the head wife (so when the Wang family fell later, there was another crime of doting on concubines and destroying wives, and not repairing the inner curtains), so the concubines' natal family , that is also the in-laws. If you count them like this, there are hundreds of in-laws in the Wang family.
Even if there are hundreds of in-laws to 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 be taken care of by marrying the Wang family, you won't get much. But if you offend them and cause trouble for you, that will be easy.
Now hearing that her daughter said she didn't want to get married, Ye's father and Ye's mother became even more worried.
Although they did not want their daughter to marry Wang Xi's 100th son, 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.
Sure enough, 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 said that something will happen in a year. It was because of this dream that my daughter couldn't sleep. Come and tell her parents about it."
When Father Ye and Mother Ye heard what Linlang said, they hesitated and said: "Okay, let's think about it again."
When Linlang heard what Ye's father and mother said, she knew that they might be shaken and might not marry her again, so she 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 didn't want to tell the Wang family about the accident in advance, so that the Wang family could be prepared, and then nothing happened to the Wang family.
Father Ye and Mother Ye listened to Linlang's instructions and said, "I know, we definitely won't tell."
After Linlang left, Ye's mother said to Ye's father: "Linlang said so, what should we do? Reject the Wang family?"
Father Ye touched his beard and said: "I will definitely refuse, but I have to find an excuse to avoid trouble from 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?" Ye Mu said.
Father Ye said: "Whether it is 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 will wait until 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 she considered that one of the inconveniences of pretending to be sick was that it was inconvenient for her to go out to eat, drink and have fun. How could this be done, so Linlang said at that moment : "There is no need to use illness as an excuse. I heard that his biological mother is close to a Taoist nun. Spend some money with the Taoist nun. When the horoscopes are matched, let the Taoist nun tell his biological mother that her son and I have different horoscopes, which will ruin our fortune. I guarantee that She won’t agree to the marriage, so they don’t have to worry about offending their family since they are the ones who don’t agree to the marriage.”
