Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were relieved now. Now they look at Zhang Zhen with great pleasure.
The third master and the fourth master, like other sons of noble families, donated an honorary position of Sesame, and they look good.
When the old Marquis was alive, he actually had no power to manage the house. All he had was his own private property, because he felt sorry for his younger sons and couldn't really pass on any of his private property to his legitimate sons. So we can only let them manage their private property in the name of management.
When the old marquis dies and the family property is divided, all the private property of the old marquis will be taken back and divided equally according to the law. However, because there are two industries, these two brothers have always been in charge, so they will be divided between them, and the direct lineage will suffer some losses. They don't mind. Then, Zhang Hou said directly, since you have an industry to take care of, don't worry about the affairs of the government.
Therefore, the third and fourth bedrooms in the house are really paid monthly. A little bonus at the end of the year is really nothing. But the old aunt is different. She really treats herself as an old lady. There was nothing wrong with making three points, which made Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang really go crazy.
The fact that the third and fourth bedrooms have so much living space is partly due to the old aunt's troubles. The big and second bedrooms always accommodate them out of the desire to calm things down.
Now, after punishing the fourth child for being the younger one, the focus is to drive the old aunt away. Zhuangzi is still the furthest away from Suli River. With the temperament of the third and fourth sons, he will not care about the useless old aunt! Without the old aunt's nonsense, the eldest wife and the second wife felt that it was half daylight in the Hou Mansion.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk about Ziduan's marriage." The second wife said hurriedly.
"By the way, let's talk about Ziduan's marriage." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly looked at Zhang Hou, "Didn't you think that the eldest daughter of the Jia family is a perfect match for Ziduan in terms of status and other aspects? Let your wife take her younger siblings to the wedding. Look. The Jia family has a strict family tradition, and the girls are really well-educated. The emperor even specially gave the Jia family Aunt Tao and Aunt Che from the palace of the late Emperor Taihuang. Even the girls from relatives are first-rate. Yes. This time you are really the one with the brightest eyes."
"What do you think, brothers and sisters?" Zhang Hou quickly looked at Mrs. Zhang Er.
"After five years in the concubine's palace, my intelligence, appearance, and rules are all top-notch." The second wife nodded hurriedly and smiled.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, really, is that the point? Isn't the point of Ziduan bad? Otherwise, why would the old god not let him get married early? Besides, no matter how good the Jia family's family tradition is, Jia Enhou has accomplished nothing, and Jia Cunzhou is just a nerd. , What else does the Jia family have? They just rely on the old lady’s reputation as the Duke’s wife to get by. In my opinion, this marriage is really better than nothing.” The third master hurriedly objected.
They just came in to oppose the marriage. Speaking of which, the second bedroom has the highest status in this family. But he is the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Justice and one of the six bosses.
And Zhang Zhen is his eldest son. The important point is that Zhang Zhen was also a serious Jinshi. He practiced in the Hanlin Academy for three years step by step, was awarded the seventh rank of Hanlin, went to the Ministry of Household Affairs for one year, and now he is in Shun. Tianfu was promoted to the sixth level of the chief register, which is the path of the prime minister and assistant. If he were to marry Jia Nu Shi, who was closely related to the palace, his second wife would be even more powerful.
"That's it, that's right, you still have to ask the old god about Ziduan's marriage first." The third wife said hurriedly.
The third wife and the fourth wife were both from a low family background, and they could not hold their heads high in front of the eldest and second sisters-in-law. They have never thought about it, that is, the husband is honored and the wife is valued, they just feel unfair. When the children grow up, they want to compare with the past in terms of the quality of their daughter-in-law.
But the problem is that Zi Rui, the eldest son of Dafang: his wife is the legitimate daughter of the Changchun Hou family. The three sons of the eldest family were all born to the eldest wife. The second and fifth son, Ziren, was only a month younger than Ziduan. They were also married because they had won the imperial examination before. Although he was the second son, he was the son of the Hou Mansion. His biological son, he married the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, who was co-organizer of the Hanlin Academy. He passed the Jinshi examination last year and is currently practicing in the Hanlin Academy. The third son ranked eighth and is now eighteen. His name is Ziyi. He seems to be a descendant of the Hou family and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Therefore, his wife is the only daughter of the Gyeonggi general.
The first house was inherited from the Hou Mansion, so they didn't want to compete and transferred it to the second house. The second wife was ridiculed by the third and fourth brothers because she gave birth to two daughters in a row. They said they were afraid they wouldn't be able to give birth to a son. As a result, after the two daughters, the second wife gave birth to three sons in a row. One of the two daughters married Prince Zhongyi
The second son of the family; a legitimate eldest son who married into the royal family of Huaishan County. They are all clans, but they have nothing to do with imperial power, they are noble and safe. So now we must not allow the eldest son of the second wife to marry the granddaughter of the Duke of the country. Because when people think about it, the eldest wife is the eldest granddaughter of the old Duke Rongguo's family. .
"That's it, that's right, eldest lady, the two girls are both honorable people, let Ziduan marry the palace lady, can the eldest girl and the second girl agree?" The fourth wife smiled hurriedly.
"Is there anything I can't agree to? Even if I can marry a merchant girl, the Zhang family's reputation has long been trampled to the ground." Zhang Zhen glanced at the third and fourth rooms and said calmly.
Lao Zhanghou said at that time that the brothers in the family were ranked according to the time of birth, not according to each house. It is said that the descendants of the Hou family are prosperous. He never thought about whether the children and grandchildren below would be happy. However, Zhang Hou and others also knew that in this case, it would be easier for the grandsons in the future if the grandsons were not ranked by house, so the grandsons were ranked second, and the third son was the eldest son of the third and fourth houses.
However, the third and fourth brothers have no title or job. Even if they are the grandchildren of the same rank, they have to be hardworking. It is better for the son of the eldest son to marry because the son can either study or be good at martial arts. The eldest son also has a hereditary marquis!
Therefore, the marriage of the second and third children was really difficult to explain. In the end, after choosing between them, they really chose a rich family. After all, relying on the Zhang Mansion, the business of each government is somewhat guaranteed. When this candidate was selected, Zhang Hou almost fainted with anger. You could have chosen a girl from the poor Hanlin family, or the daughter of an ordinary gentry, but you ended up marrying a merchant girl. With his eyelids so shallow, Zhang Hou just wanted to vomit blood. The reputation of the Hou Mansion has long been gone. No one in the capital didn't know that the direct branch and the common branch of Changlinghou Mansion had long been strangers to each other.
"Okay, originally the marriage of Ziduan was the order of the parents. According to the words of the matchmaker, we did not interfere in the marriage of the third- and fourth-house girls. We just paid the money for the marriage according to the rules set by our grandfather." Zhang Houbao said He shook his hand.
"Well, uncle, I heard that the Jia family originally chose Mr. Xiong Xing, the head of the five members of the second uncle's tribe, for their eldest daughter." The eldest son of the third master's family said hurriedly, "I heard that Mr. Lin Hai was the matchmaker. Our family said It has to be lively, are you willing to do it? Plus the fourth child’s bad horoscope! Let’s talk about the sixth child. The difference in age is a few months, mainly because the horoscope is good.”
The sixth child also lived in a third-bedroom apartment. In those years, the fourth-bedroom apartment was really competing to have children. So that year, after Zi Duan was born, the eldest brother and the third brother also gave birth to children one after another, and the difference was not big. Now the third room is even more ruthless and wants to rob people.
