Chapter 22: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
Tan's father is currently only a fifth-rank petty official. It seems that his official position is of the same rank as Li Jingyuan's official position, but in fact they are not comparable, because Li Jingyuan's fifth-rank official position was actually promoted, and he has Jingyuan Bo Mansion as his back. The kind with real power.
Tan's father's fifth-grade official position has no real power. It can only be said that he has an official body that looks good on the surface.
At that time, Mrs. Tan was able to marry into Uncle Jingyuan's house and became the first wife of Li Jingyuan, the fourth son of Uncle Jingyuan's concubine, because Mrs. Tan and Mr. Tan's father were still alive, and the Tan family was supported by Mr. Tan's grandfather in the capital, so Ms. Tan's wife Able to marry into the Earl's Mansion.
But after Tan's grandfather passed away, Tan's father came back to life after his filial piety period. He has been in business for many years and is still just a fifth-rank official with no real power. The whole family can only rely on the previous capital and the dowry of his step-wife Wang. live.
The Tan family can't even be compared with the Jingyuan uncle's house now, and it can't even be compared with the Li Jingyuan family after the separation.
This is why Mrs. Tan insists on letting her son marry her natal niece. The purpose is to win over her natal family and prevent her natal family from becoming estranged from her husband's family. She also hopes that her son will be more successful in the future and promote his natal family.
Of course, Ms. Tan hopes that her son’s relationship with his natal family will be as close as possible, so wouldn’t it go against her desire to win over her natal family if her son marries a wife who is not close to the future head of the Tan family?
Naturally, Mrs. Tan hesitated about the marriage between Li Changwen and Tan Zhuyue.
As soon as Tan's attitude changed, Tan Zhuyue, who wanted to tie up the marriage contract after her rebirth, was sensitive to it. However, she thought that Tan's attitude changed because Li Changwen was a high school student and had a bright future. Tan wanted to give her son a different one. As a wife from a noble family, she would look down on the Tan family's poor settlement.
So Tan Zhuyue urged Tan's father to abandon the restraint of the girl's parents and come to her house to urge her to get married.
She knew that during this general examination, Li Changwen would definitely go to high school. During the palace examination, he would be selected by the emperor to be the concubine. Li Changwen's father, Li Jingyuan, was still the third prince who would ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, and his future would be even brighter.
After Li Changwen became the first girl in high school, she was afraid that Tan, the aunt, would no longer want her as her daughter-in-law. Tan Zhuyue made up her mind to get married directly before Li Changwen's entrance examination, even if the wedding was held in a hurry due to time constraints. It doesn't matter, she definitely doesn't want to lose such a good husband-in-law again after getting it.
When Li Changwen is named on the gold medal list, becomes an official in the imperial examination, and she is granted the title of Madam, she must return to the Tan family in glory and make her stepmother Wang and her annoying younger sister Tan Qingyue jealous to death.
After Tan Zhuyue's seemingly reasonable analysis, Tan's father was also worried that the Li family would no longer look down on the Tan family after his nephew Li Changwen went to high school, so he shyly came to his sister to discuss marriage.
After listening to Tan's father's words, Mrs. Tan could tell that Tan's father and Tan Zhuyue were eager to get married as soon as possible, and she felt extremely embarrassed.
She glanced at her beautiful eldest niece sitting beside her, then asked the maid to take Tan Zhuyue to visit the garden, and sent them out.
After Tan Zhuyue left, Mrs. Tan asked Tan's father: "Brother, tell me the truth, why are you so anxious to marry Zhuyue? Did something happen?"
Mrs. Tan was worried that Tan Zhuyue had done something that tarnished her reputation, which made Tan's father eager to marry Tan Zhuyue off. After all, she heard that Tan Zhuyue had a fierce fight with the Wang family and her daughter in the Tan family, and internal fighting would inevitably damage her reputation.
Tan's father was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what his sister meant, and quickly explained: "No, Zhuyue is a good child. It's just that I pitied her and spoiled her a little more when she lost her mother at a young age, but there is nothing wrong with her. Proper place.”
Tan was dubious: "Then why is the eldest brother so anxious to let Zhuyue marry? Changwen is also preparing to participate in this year's examination. If he gets married before the examination, the wedding will be hasty." Which wedding is not held well in advance? The preparations have begun, whether the wedding is held grandly or in a hurry, there are special reasons.
Tan's father hesitated for a while, but finally told Mr. Tan what was on his mind: "Oh, eldest brother doesn't hide it from my sister anymore. My sister also knows the current situation of the Tan family. Seeing her brother-in-law prospering, Chang Wen is also talented and has a bright future. , Aren’t I worried that my brother-in-law will want to break off the engagement after Changwen reaches high school?”
Li Jingyuan is a person who puts interests first. He has always wanted to marry his son to a noble girl who can help him in his career. However, the Tan family insists on using her son's marriage to win over her natal family.
The couple often quarreled over this matter. It was because Li Changwen had a deeper affection for his mother, Tan, and was more filial to his mother. He also believed that he did not need to rely on the power of his in-laws and could rise to prominence with his own talent and ability, so he voluntarily agreed to marry his uncle. It was my cousin, Li Jingyuan, who didn't forcefully cancel the engagement.
But Li Jingyuan has always been dissatisfied with this marriage. If Li Jingyuan wants to break off the engagement after his son reaches high school... Tan believes that this possibility is not impossible. Tan's father will have this concern and wants to let Tan Zhuyue today Marrying Li Changwen so early is excusable.
Tan's father persuaded Mrs. Tan: "Sister, aren't I worried about the long nights and dreams? I'm relieved to get married soon. After all, my sister also knows what the current situation of the Tan family is. It's me who feels sorry for my father..."
Tan's father played the emotional card, and Tan, who had a deep affection for her mother's family, was deeply touched, and finally agreed to the marriage: "I will mention this to my husband, and then go and make a decision with the betrothal gift as soon as possible... It's just that eldest brother, I heard that Zhu Yue doesn't have a good relationship with her sister-in-law? As the eldest sister, she should treat her younger siblings well, but I heard that she doesn't have a good relationship with her younger siblings either..."
Mrs. Tan is still worried that by marrying Tan Zhuyue, Tan Zhuyue will not have a good relationship with the future head of the Tan family, and her husband's family and her natal family will still become estranged in the future. He deliberately wanted to hint that Tan's father had changed the engagement partner to his second niece Tan Qingyue. Although Tan Qingyue was the legitimate daughter of the stepmother and was shorter in status than Tan Zhuyue, the eldest daughter of the original wife, she was the future head of the Tan family. As a biological sister of the same mother, she is more suitable to serve as the link between the next generation of Li and Tan's family.
However, Tan's father had no reason for the hidden meaning of his sister's words, and thought that Tan was picking on Tan Zhuyue. Tan's father, who still had a somewhat loving father's heart towards Tan Zhuyue, the eldest daughter, quickly spoke for his daughter. Good words: "It's just a small conflict between some children, just bickering. The fight makes the relationship better. They are all my children, so there is no difference..."
Mrs. Tan already said this when she saw Tan's father, what else could she say? We can only discuss the marriage between Li Changwen and Tan Zhuyue with Tan's father.
After the negotiation was settled, Tan's father happily said goodbye to Mr. Tan and took Tan Zhuyue away.
After Tan Zhuyue left Li's house, she looked at Tan's father excitedly and expectantly and asked, "Father, how are you?"
Tan's father nodded with a smile on his face: "Wait until your aunt comes to hire me at home."
Tan Zhuyue tightened the handkerchief in her hand excitedly. It was great. After her rebirth, she finally changed her tragic fate in her previous life. The future position of Mrs. Ge is hers!
After Tan Zhuyue returned to the Tan Mansion, she proudly went to Tan Qingyue to show off: "The marriage my father has decided for me, no matter how hard your mother plans it, it can't be yours." Huh, if it hadn't been for the Wang family's plan. If it was too clean, she would definitely expose Wang's scheme to Tan's father.
However, although she couldn't find any evidence and couldn't take revenge, it would be uncomfortable for them as long as they couldn't let Wang's plan succeed.
Tan Qingyue was completely indifferent to Tan Zhuyue's showoff.
Li Changwen's cousin's marriage is indeed a good one. She also knows her mother's plan, but she thinks that it is good if it can succeed, but it does not mean that there are no other options. Life is what people live, as long as they have a calm and clear mind, You can have a good time anywhere.
A character like her sister Tan Zhuyue, who can't hold back her composure and shows off everywhere when she gets the slightest bit proud, may not be able to live well even if she marries into her aunt's family.
While Tan Zhuyue was showing off her good marriage to the Tan family, Li Changwen, who was studying at home, also received a notice from his mother that he needed to find time to get a wife before the exams started.
Li Changwen was quite indifferent to this. The worst he could do was not study on the wedding day. He would just relax and take the time to marry a wife. It was no big deal.
As for the wedding, which requires a lot of preparations... what does this have to do with him as the groom? Naturally, his mother and others will take care of him, he just needs to have a baby on the day of his wedding.
Li Jingyuan was the last one to learn the news. After all, he had to go to work in the upper government office. He only learned the news from Mr. Tan after returning home from the lower office.
Li Jingyuan was a little angry: "I'm going to take the exam soon. Changwen, at such a critical and important moment, you actually gave him a wife? Isn't this disturbing his study and preparation for the exam?"
Ms. Tan expressed that she was wronged: "I don't need Chang Wen to organize the wedding. I will naturally handle everything for my son and won't delay his studies."
Li Jingyuan frowned and reluctantly gave up after hearing that Tan said it would not affect his son's review. Although he is still very dissatisfied with the Tan family daughter's marriage, it is impossible to cancel the engagement. If he cancels, it will have a great impact on his reputation. If there is a rumor outside that he dislikes poverty and loves wealth, and wants to use his son's marriage to gain access to What to do with the rumors about powerful people?
Just marry him. As a father, he can marry a daughter of the Tan family. Why can't Li Changwen, the son of the family, not marry her?
So while Li Changqing was huddled in the room built by his family and taking the mock exam, Li Changwen was already preparing to get married, and the invitations were sent to his parents.
Si Yuan saw this wedding invitation and laughed with the system: [The reborn female protagonist is very efficient. She tied up with the male protagonist so quickly, but it seems that the two of them got married earlier? 】
