Xie Rongzhao was stunned for a while and did not react. Gao sighed and said, "Do you still remember my niece Gao Changhuan?"
Xie Rongzhao understood now.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I understand. Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I can occasionally listen to it. The Wang family should not be involved, so why should the Wang family be anxious?"
Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat watchful tone: "The Wang family is not involved, but the wife of the Wang family is involved!"
What are you doing?
Xie Rongzhao looked over quickly and noticed that Mrs. Gao reached out and pinched Zhao Yue secretly. Zhao Yue was in pain, but he was embarrassed to show it in front of the junior, and his expression was sour.
Xie Rongzhao couldn't help laughing: "I understand, don't worry, Auntie, as long as it's not a big deal, I will ask Jingzhou."
Mrs. Gao then patted her hand and said, "It's hard for you. If that girl hadn't been fooling around and broke off the relationship with her mother's family, I should have helped with this matter."
"Auntie, don't say that. You and uncle have treated me well for so many years. I can still do such a small thing."
Gao Changhuan, Gao's niece, is also a stupid and arrogant person.
Just because she was dissatisfied with the marriage, she just made a big fuss. Because she didn't get a high dowry, she turned around and broke off the engagement with her parents. I don't know if she was not clear-headed or completely wrong.
They are all in the capital, and they are not separated from each other. Why are you so angry?
At that time, Mrs. Gao Da and Uncle Gao were helping Gao Changhuan to meet a young and promising young man. He won the imperial examination at the age of nineteen. His future was promising, but his background was a bit poor. His father was only a fifth-grade boy. official.
Gao Changhuan was unhappy. He felt that his parents were partial and refused to marry someone from a high-ranking family. They insisted on marrying the son of a low-ranking official. If she made a fuss, the marriage would naturally not happen.
Gao Changhuan turned around and got close to his mother-in-law, and then he hooked up with the prince of the Earl's Palace. After that, some rumors spread first, and then there was a marriage proposal and an appointment.
It can be said that Gao Changhuan's troubles have brought shame to his mother-in-law's family.
The eldest son of the Earl's Palace is called Wang Hansheng, and he is also a gentleman, but his knowledge is obviously not as good as that of the one Gao's father had previously favored. Although they were unwilling, their daughter did such a thing of having a secret meeting with an outsider, and they You have to agree even if you don’t agree.
In the end, the daughter was married off.
Gao Changhuan deliberately made a fuss before the wedding. It happened that a bride was about to enter the house, so she kept making a fuss. She threatened that if she could not have the same dowry as her eldest sister, she would make the fuss known to everyone in the capital and insisted on embarrassing the Gao family. .
Uncle Gao and Mrs. Gao were so angry that they fell backwards. Did they give birth to a daughter or a debt collector?
In the end, Mrs. Gao finally got tough.
In fact, not giving such a large dowry is not Mrs. Gao's preference.
The two of them married into different houses!
The eldest daughter is marrying a young master from the princess's house, and the offer is thirty-six bucks. This is a great gift.
As for the Wang family that Gao Changhuan was going to marry, they were only given twelve paychecks. What a difference!
Since ancient times, in this face-conscious family, the betrothal gift comes to the man along with the dowry, and it is regarded as the dowry of the woman.
Moreover, if the man hires someone as much as he wants, the woman's dowry will usually be as much.
This can be regarded as a mutual respect between the two families.
If the woman's dowry is too high, the man will be looked down upon and even called a freeloader.
Therefore, when it comes to dowry, the elders cannot make concessions.
Let’s not talk about the different marriage partners and the different betrothal gifts. Just saying that this daughter has repeatedly disobeyed her elders cannot make the elders agree.
In the end, Gao Changhuan failed to get what she wanted. After returning home three days later, she didn't know what kind of madness she had gone into, so she immediately shouted that she wanted to break up with her parents' family. What she said was that her parents' family didn't care about her and only wanted to do her best. Favoring older sisters.
All in all, it makes people speechless.
I’ve never seen anything like this!
It would be fine if your mother's family is not a good person, but the key point is that your mother's family is obviously good, and they have not sucked your blood or sold your body, so why are you making a fuss about severing the relationship?
The Wang family that Gao just mentioned is the Wang family that Gao Changhuan married into.
The title is gone.
Originally there was a title of earl, but after Wang Hansheng's generation succeeded him, the title was over. His son would have no title to inherit in the future.
But who would have thought that because of King Fu's rebellion, their family's title would also be lost.
Now Wang Hansheng is still squatting inside and has not come out.
After Xie Rongzhao returned, she asked Cheng Jingzhou about Wang Hansheng. After all, she didn't know much about it, mainly because she had no contact with the Wang family.
"This earl of theirs is just a false title and is of no use. Even if the title is not abolished, the Wang family is still in dire straits. This can be seen from his appointment to the Gao family. Which noble family has hired twelve If you were hired by a fourth-grade official from a poor family, it would be excusable, but you are from an Earl's Palace, how did you have the nerve to carry this twelve-month betrothal gift into a high-ranking family?"
Xie Rongzhao understood clearly that Wang Han was guilty of a crime that would not lead to death, but it was impossible for the Wang family to recover.
Even without Prince Fu's incident, the Wang family would be in a state of decline. Now that they are involved again, it would be great to be able to come out with all their beards and tails.
"But I heard that the Wang family has always been full of idle people, with no power or influence. How did they get involved with Prince Fu?"
Xie Rongzhao's expression was a little strange: "It is said that Gao Changhuan and Princess Fu got close and got a lot of benefits from Princess Fu. I didn't find out the details. Anyway, I heard that the cause was Gao Changhuan."
"No way! If it's just a relationship between women, how could Wang Hansheng be implicated?"
Xie Rongzhao really doesn’t know, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t ask him!
Cheng Jingzhou sighed, either there were too many financial interests involved, or the Wang family did something for King Fu. In short, he was definitely not innocent.
Xie Rongzhao did not expect that his visit to Zhao Yue would cause trouble for him.
Because as Mrs. Gao expected, the Wang family came to visit.
Gao Changhuan and Wang Hansheng were both imprisoned, and the one who came to ask for help was Wang Hansheng's mother, the former countess.
Without the title of countess, the royal wife is nothing, because her husband only leads a fifth-grade idle official, and she has no other royalties, so she is just an ordinary official wife now.
Mrs. Wang felt extremely uncomfortable. Now she had to salute a young lady and address her as madam. How could she feel so embarrassed?
But no matter how wronged you are, you still have to ask for help.
The men in the family are still in jail!
After meeting Mrs. Wang, Xie Rongzhao knew why Mrs. Gao asked him to help whenever he could.
Gao Changhuan is really not a good person, what a scam!
