After hearing what his father said, Yu Xin finally understood. This was an attempt to cover up things that were not good for Qiaoer under Shen Hao's fierce power. When the time comes, even if those young people who covet Qiao'er know about the not-so-pleasant name of being naturally charming, they won't dare to publicize it. After all, it will look ugly.
"But father, what if Shen Hao loses?" Yu Xin also experienced difficulties from the bride's family when they got married. He still has lingering fears when he recalls the experience. He is worried that what if Shen Hao doesn't care about things in Qizhou. Understand, what should I do if I get caught unprepared?
This is no joke. If the groom is stuck in the marriage process, it will be a big deal. Especially for a person like Shen Hao, who is not good-looking and looks good, it is not impossible to leave in anger. When the time comes, Shen Hao doesn't care about his reputation, it won't be good anyway, but what about the Yu family? What to do with Yu Qiao?
Looking at his eldest son's worried expression, Yu Shu felt a little confused. This was indeed not a matter of attitude, but rather a matter of his own limitations, which made him really stupid.
"Hey, who do you think Shen Hao is? Or do you think those young officials or young men who are still in school have great abilities?
In this world, no one can climb from a lowly position to a fourth-grade official. What's more, it's a place where life and death are on the line like Xuan Qingwei. Shen Hao kills people with a murderous aura and has a bloody reputation, but who can you see who can do anything to defeat him?
If Shen Hao is compared to jackals, tigers and leopards, those eager boys outside are just a group of lambs that haven't even grown horns at best.
So you're still worried that Shen Hao can't cope with the customs here? "
Yu Xin could only shake his head now. I also secretly thought that it was funny that I was really concerned and confused before, but I was still worried about a hungry wolf being overturned by a group of lambs.
Seeing Yu Xin's expression, Yu Shu could only sigh, and did not expect the other party to understand deeply on his own. He could only say again: "In addition, let me remind you that two days later, Qiaoer officially came to the Shen family. The relationship between this is not only that Qiaoer himself is changing, but also that our entire Yu family is changing in terms of identity. There is a huge change.
From now on, whether we like it or not, we will be regarded by everyone as the hardcore in Shen Hao's line. Afterwards, the Xuanqing Guards and the military will express more goodwill to us, but the corresponding civil servants will begin to deliberately alienate us.
My position as the great priest will come to an end in a few years. No one in the family, including you, is expected to be an official. It's enough for everyone to settle down in their respective yamen. It's not too ugly to hang out.
But if the family wants to advance further in the future, it will only be possible if they stay with Shen Hao. If you can't turn this corner, forget it. Just remember what I say and know what to do next.
remember! "
Yu Xin didn't mind his father's harsh words. He knew how much he weighed, and he could be an idle official when he was an official. Otherwise, he would feel that he couldn't handle things. Anyway, you can do whatever your father asks you to do, and you won’t suffer any loss.
Besides, Yu Xin thought, if he had a Black Flag Battalion commander as his son-in-law, what would it matter if he was alienated by the civil servants outside? Who dares to mess with their Yu family?
Without much ambition, the mentality is naturally easy to be satisfied.
As for whether Yu Xin is stupid? It depends on how you think about it.
After all the worries in his heart were gone, Yu Xin naturally couldn't stay and chat with his father all the time. There was an important event at home, and he was very busy. After saluting, he left the study and prepared to go to the kitchen to have a look. Today, a dozen new cooks have been called in to help. The big banquet the day after tomorrow will be the Yu family's feast for their daughter, and it will also be a scene to show their strength in front of the Shen family. There is no room for error.
Yu Xin left, but Yu Shu continued to sit and drink tea in the study with tea in hand. He did not need to worry about things. What he needed to consider were the changes that the entire Yu family would need to deal with after his granddaughter got married.
As Yu Xin thought, having a wolf as a son-in-law can indeed make most people jealous, even afraid. But a wolf is not a dog. If you want to get along well with it, you have to be very careful.
In addition, Yu Shu is also thinking about how to help his future grandson-in-law. If he can advance to a higher level, then the Yu family will naturally be able to rely on him to prosper a hundred years later.
The reason why Yu Shu made the decision to betroth his granddaughter to Shen Hao in the first place was not only because his granddaughter was naturally charming, but also due to Shen Hao's two advantages in the officialdom. First, although the reputation is not good, it is credible and nostalgic. Secondly, there were very few women around him. Apart from the barbarian slave girl at home, he only had an affair with a singer.
The emphasis on credibility and nostalgia makes Shen Hao's character very distinct. He is bloody and cruel to others, but also has an old-fashioned and stubborn defense of his own people. In Yu Shu's opinion, this is the quality that a head of a family should have.
And there are "few women" in the back, which is rare in the officialdom of the Jingji Dynasty. Especially powerful figures like Shen Hao. Even if you're not married, who doesn't have an outside wife? Even Yu Shu himself and his son were not as romantic before they got married? This is still an "elegant interest" even in literary circles.
Some people make love and take their wives home to become concubines after getting married. Most of them were cut off in two, which seemed very ruthless.
After all, in the face of the "right match" represented by the head wife, what does the outer room mean?
The three female slaves in Shen Hao's family are not considered human beings and can be ignored. Even if Shen Hao dotes on those three female slaves, he still won't be able to gain seeds from the fox girl. What is the identity of the remaining singer? With the status of the Yu family, not to mention pinching him to death, at least he can suppress the other person to the ground without even daring to look up.
The combination of these two reasons means that Yu Qiao's child will definitely be Shen Hao's most suitable successor in the future. Correspondingly, the Yu family, as the natal family, can also get the most benefits.
This is why Yu Shu is already helping her consider how to promote her future grandson-in-law before her granddaughter is officially married. The purpose is to let the granddaughter and the Yu family have more weight in the heart of the future grandson-in-law.
Of course, these undesirable little calculations are also Yu Shu's helpless actions. If he had a suitable heir, he wouldn't put his treasure on someone with a foreign surname.
The Yu family is busy here, and the Shen family in Xinliang City is equally busy.
According to the process specified in the wedding album, Shen Shi should welcome the bride from Qizhou to Xinliang City, and then follow the Shen family's etiquette, such as worshiping in the hall and worshiping ancestors, etc. and a wedding reception in the evening.
Even compared to the ostentation over at the Yu family, the ostentation over at Xinliang City was even greater. The person who directly helped hang red and sprinkle water on the street was not a government servant, but the Black Flag Camp of Xuanqing Guard!
Even before the wedding was held, groups of all kinds of people who wanted to come over to "mean something" and at least leave a name note were already wandering around the Shen family, looking for opportunities to hand over the generous gifts in their storage bags. go.
Finally, with Shen Hao's consent, all those who came to give gifts and did not have wedding invitations were asked to leave. They even sent an elite member of the Black Flag Battalion from the Xiaoqi Battalion to come to the Shen family in case something unexpected happened.
