Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

In the study of the second master of the Zhang family, which has always been quiet, there was a roar full of anger, "Stinky boy, I just met my good granddaughter, and you want to find her a husband, no, I don't agree, you don't want to raise your granddaughter, I will, and when your mother and I leave, the eldest sister will go back to Gusu with us."

Zhang Wenhan and Zhang Wenxi listened to their father's roar, and had no intention of talking at all. Now that their father is getting older, they knew that he wanted to change the law to take his granddaughter away, and it was not a matter of disagreeing with the choice of son-in-law.

Seeing what he said, Mrs. Zhang didn't get a response from his son at all, so he knew that this road would not work.

"Cough cough" the old man coughed twice, straightened his clothes that were a little wrinkled due to the excessive movement just now, and then sat down upright.

"Give me the list you deleted"

Zhang Wenxi took out a sour branch wood box, and took out a thick stack of papers, which contained the contents of all the people collected before, and the ones they discarded were also included. , There is also a reason for writing to stay.

The old man took it, looked carefully, he looked at those who were discarded first, and nodded as he looked, these people were not wronged by being screened out, if he was selected, he would kill them both.

After reading the discarded ones, the old man went on to look at the four remaining ones. This time he looked at them very carefully, thinking about whether each one was consistent with what he knew.

After reading it carefully, the old man said, "This kid from the Shen family can't do it."

The little grandson of the Shen family was approved by Zhang Wenhan. He didn't understand why his father thought it was not good. "Father, why? The Shen family's education is still good."

"The eldest prince in the palace belongs to a girl from the Shen family"

The old master's words explained all the problems. Although the eldest prince's biological mother was not a direct descendant of the Shen family, no one could be sure that the Shen family would not support the eldest prince in the future and would not get involved in the battle for the first son.

Regarding the fact that the kid from the Shen family was excluded, the two brothers of the Zhang family also agreed.

"This kid from the Liu family can't do it either."

The Liu family boy was inspected by Zhang Wenxi, "Father, as the Liu family is a Qingliu in the Hanlin, there is no problem with education, and there is no problem with standing in line."

"30 years ago, the Liu family had a man who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. What if this boy is like his uncle?" The old man is old, and he still has a bit of hidden gossip. He knows many secrets that other families try to hide. .

The Liu family actually had a guy who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. The two brothers of the Zhang family had never heard of it. They looked at each other and had no objection to the old man's decision.

"The son of the Duke of Zhen is not good either."

Now the two brothers stopped asking, and just waited for the old man to give him an answer.

"Although Zhen Guogong's mother is Princess Heyi, the princess has passed away for many years. The princess and the former emperor are not the same mother, and the relationship is not very good. The emperor did not give Zhen Guogong much preferential treatment. It can be said that he is more guarded than kind. Beloved. The most important thing is the government of Zhenguo. It has always been difficult for children to be heirs. They have been the only son for several generations. For the mistress, the most difficult concubines to deal with are often the kind of maids who have served their master since childhood and were confiscated. They know their master too well. Now Zhen Guogong's favorite concubine is his former concubine. Personal servant girl (grandfather, didn’t you just come to the capital? How did you know it so clearly, even better than the Song family who inspected the back house)”

The son of Zhen Guo Gong's family was eliminated by the old man just like that.

The remaining four have already been denied three, and there is one left. The two brothers of the Zhang family are a little nervous. If this does not work, it will be too shocking.

This time the old man pondered for a long time, put his finger on the only piece of paper left, tapped it again and again, finally sighed, shook his head and said, "This grandson of General Zhenwei's family can't do it."

The Zhang brothers just looked at their father suspiciously. After pondering for so long, they thought that this would be okay, but they didn't expect the answer to be no.

"The children and grandchildren of their family are indeed well-educated, and everyone is very promising. There is nothing to say about this, but although General Zhenwei has handed over the military power, the boy in his family has not become a general but left a civilian job. Civilian positions in the army. The prestige accumulated by General Zhenwei and his family in the army for several generations will not dissipate without military power. It's too dangerous"

None of the four people are suitable, although they are not so satisfied with these four people, but now they really can't do it, which means that their vision is not good, and the result is really too powerless.The two stood in front of their father as dejectedly as they did when they were children, ready to accept his father's next instruction.

"The people you choose are all too focused on the present. It will take more than ten years for a good granddaughter to marry. If you want to think about whether this family will still be like it is now, even if you can't go further Don’t choose a potential crisis”

"The Sons Are Taught"

"Don't limit your eyes to the capital. Most of these families in the capital are upstarts who came out during the founding war. It sounds nice to be called a new rich, but it's vulgar to say that these families are nouveau riche. After For several generations, these upstarts have become luxurious to a certain extent, and have long since lost the courage and bloodiness of the founding of the country. What good things can you find among this kind of people? Keep your eyes open and look far away.”

"Father, this..."

The old lady glared at the unwilling Zhang Wenxi, "You can't just look for the crooked melons and dates in the capital just because you don't want to part with the elder sister. You don't love the elder sister. If the elder sister is unhappy, it's not good. You can be happy..."

Zhang Wenhan was also reluctant to marry his niece to a distant place, but now the capital is too extravagant, and in terms of the upbringing of his children and grandchildren, even a strict family will inevitably pamper him, "Father, do you mean those real families?"

The old man's face became better after hearing what the eldest son said, "As the saying goes, there is no court of a thousand years, only a family of a thousand years. No matter how the court changes, a real family can always be as stable as Mount Tai. Whether it is the upbringing of children and grandchildren, or The judgment of the crisis and the family background are all good choices for marrying a daughter. Although our Zhang family is not a thousand-year-old family, it has been hundreds of years anyway, and you should know the rules of the family. Entering this kind of family is your choice to love her."

"Yes, sons understand"

"Now that you all understand, then your mother and I will stay here until the eldest sister catches Zhou, and then take the eldest sister back to Gusu. Wenxi, do you have any objections?"

"Father, why is the eldest sister going to Gusu?" Zhang Wenxi asked his father unwillingly when he heard that his father was going to abduct his precious daughter.

"Why don't you understand? Most of the aristocratic families are in the south of the Yangtze River. Taking the eldest sister away for my father is of course to let the eldest sister have more contact with those aristocratic families so that I can choose the right one from them. Besides, the eldest sister is raised by me and your mother, even if it is a thousand years old. The aristocratic family, as long as the eldest sister is interested, they will not be dissatisfied with the eldest sister. Well, it's settled like this, it's getting late, let's all rest."

The old man didn't give his son time to refute, he just stood up and left. After walking out of the study, he put down his serious expression and grinned silently. Now he can finally abduct his little granddaughter, hehe, that's great.
