The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

"Brother, what are you talking about!" Lin Shen blushed a little, no matter how old-fashioned the young man was, when he talked about such things, he would inevitably feel a little shy.Although a little shy, Lin Shen also knew that Lin Hai was telling the truth.

After all, there are only so many families in the capital. Ordinary families may wait for more, but for a family like theirs, they will start to see their relatives as soon as they reach the age. It's like a step. Girls these days, after reaching the age, if they haven't discussed marriage yet, their value will begin to depreciate.

The same is true for boys. Ordinary families rarely choose a man with a large age gap. After all, if the age is relatively large, the man probably already has one or more partners around him, and his relationship has already stabilized. Latecomers, the main wife will be more passive.Moreover, let alone saying that it is not suitable to marry early, a man who has not married until the age of 30 or [-] must have defects in some aspects, such as poor family, concubine, or even character problems.

Therefore, many families with children sometimes visit each other in private before they reach the age, so as not to drag their sons and daughters older!

Lin Hai looked at Lin Shen's blushing cheeks amusedly, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, the male college should be married and the female college should be married. Although you are still studying at the Six Arts Academy, it doesn't hinder you from seeing your relatives! If it's too late, you can just Only others will pick the rest, how can mother be willing."

This statement is not false. Although Lin Hai was married by Emperor Xuande back then, the Jiang family showed Lin Hai a lot of families before the marriage. For example, the second wife of the Yang family was the second daughter-in-law of the Yang family. People who have passed have good looks and good character.

Not everyone has the luck of Lin Hai to be granted a marriage by the emperor, and the person who bestows the marriage is not bad.Therefore, it is better to be optimistic about the candidate first.

"Brother!" Lin Shen blushed. The elder brother was still so annoying, and he knew how to poke people's shame.

After seeing Lin Shen's blushing enough, he coughed lightly and said, "Okay. I told you in advance, just to prepare you mentally. Your main energy now is to focus on studying. Don't look at it for Brother's scenery, what I miss the most now is the days at Six Arts Academy..."

This statement is true, Lin Hai's class.Only four people were admitted successfully, and the most important thing is that there is no conflict between the four families in terms of political views or family background.Get along well with nature!But now that he has entered the officialdom, especially Lin Hai, who is valued by Emperor Xuande, it is inevitable that there are people around him who are jealous.Say some gossip.It's not as easy as the previous days.

"Brother understands!" Lin Shen didn't know how precious the days at Six Arts Academy were.Whether it is in accumulating contacts or in learning, it is an opportunity that cannot be met.

******

Lin Hai is talking about Lin Shen's marriage here, and someone is planning over there!

"Master, the brother of the Lin family is good, but...he is the second son..." The lady said with a frown.

The treatment of the second son and the eldest son is completely different, although Lin Hai only thinks that there is a difference in family property.But that was because he didn't really understand the meaning of the eldest son.

Not to mention the only son of the Lin family before, everything belonged to the only son.But now that Lin Hai's generation has two sons, according to how it develops, the head of the family will only fall to Lin Hai's side in the future. For a family, the positions of the patriarch and the head of the family are very important, just because He can mobilize part of the family's resources at will.

"Why don't I know that he is the second son! If it wasn't for Yuan'er, I wouldn't have such an idea." The person behind the table showed a vicissitudes of life, and it turned out to be Mr. Du, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He only had this one daughter, and she was still a prostitute, so how could he not feel distressed.But for the sake of his son Du Yuan's future, Mr. Du still decided to take a step forward. If he hadn't failed in his investment before, and the four kings and eight princes had been wiped out, he would not be willing to marry his precious daughter to a second son.

"But..." Although Mrs. Du knew intellectually that Mrs. Du's actions were right, this society is like this, sons are treasures, and daughters are just pawns for family marriages.But Madam Du still couldn't accept it emotionally.

Mrs. Du seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Actually, this marriage is not a wronged Li'er, don't look at us with titles, but so what, it's not about descending from the title in the future, one day There will be none. A family like the Xia family is a wise move. Now that Yuan'er has the talent in reading, I have to give it a try no matter what."

Don't look at Mr. Du as the Minister of Rites. In fact, he was not born in the imperial examination. He is a person who really came out of a family of meritorious service.Master Du has been following the meritorious family all the time, until Qi Guohou's incident happened, he seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and his whole body broke into a cold sweat.After seeing Jia Daishan in Rongguo Mansion marrying his daughter-in-law to a son of a scholarly family, and thinking of the current situation of the Xia family, Master Du felt remorseful.

Looking at the eldest son who likes to read, Lord Du also became cruel.There are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year dynasties!

"Don't look at the next generation of the Lin family and they don't have a title! But from the ancestors to the present, their family's title has been passed down to the fourth generation! Originally, the previous generation, that is, Lord Lin's father, was already the last generation of the title. Yes! But because the old man has always been loyal to the royal family and diligent in the king's affairs, he was highly valued by the late emperor, and today's Lord Lin is almost chosen as the companion of the present elder brother. The late emperor is very satisfied with the Lin family when he is alive, He even decreed to extend the title of the Lin family for another generation!

Not to mention anything else, a few years ago when Prince Zhongyi and the Marquis of Qi were involved, they organized an event in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was Mr. Lin who led the officials to ransack the house.Furthermore, look at the eldest son of Lin in the Hanlin Academy. Although he is said to be the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, if he didn't have the favor of today, how could he be promoted to the fourth rank so quickly?From this we can see how thick the family members of the Lin family are! "Although my family is quite respectable in today's world because of the relationship with my ancestors, but the Lin family has been the emperor's confidantes for several generations.

"There is such a good thing!" Mrs. Du was surprised, the imperial power is really a good thing, even the title can be continued with the help of the holy family!

Master Du shook his head, "The Lin family in Suzhou is not an ordinary family. It has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. A family like the Lin family has existed for much longer than the royal family! Over the years, they don't know what to leave behind for future generations. How many good things, the background is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, especially those unknown connections and hidden forces in their hands, even the royal family dare not underestimate them, let alone the meritorious service of our humble background family!

Although we have titles and are valued by the royal family, we don't have much background, especially when it comes to raising future generations, we often fail to follow the law!As a result, the successor is weak, and if the children of the family are peaceful, they can slowly stand up in the years to come.If the younger generation is stubborn and acts evil, attracting the eyes of others, it will also bring great disasters to the family, even to the clan, then there is really no hope!

And that's not all!The Lin family itself is a scholarly family. In the previous dynasty, there were many well-known Qingliu figures. Even in Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak, it can be ranked well!What's more, the Lin family's family style is very upright, and children raised by this kind of family will definitely be extraordinary in the future!

Now that Yuan'er wants to follow the path of Qingliu, besides marrying him a good wife, other marriages are also indispensable.The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family has a high status, but both the Lin family and the Kong family are scholarly families. As long as Li'er marries in and follows the rules, and don't think about other things she shouldn't, life will definitely not be sad.

Furthermore, the inner house of the Lin family is much cleaner than the inner houses of the families you mentioned earlier.Although the means of being a mistress may be a little bit, but at least it proves that the men of the Lin family will not spoil their concubines and destroy their wives.And from my cold point of view, the men of the Lin family are not serious about sex, and Li'er won't have to suffer in this regard in the future.

Although Lin Shen is the second son of the Lin family, he was admitted to the Six Arts Academy by his own ability, and it will definitely not be a problem for Li'er to get married in the future. "As a daughter in ancient times, apart from giving birth to a son to inherit her husband's family property, the most important thought left is to add her life by imperial order!

In fact, there is another point that Mr. Du did not tell Mrs. Du, that is, as long as the aristocratic family can pass it on for hundreds of years, they naturally have their own way of raising children. lack.What's more, after hundreds of years of reproduction, their luxuriance is not comparable to that of ordinary families.Even if their family is in trouble, as long as they can survive, the possibility of a comeback is very high.That's why they can last forever.

Marriage Marriage is to find such a family with strong survivability to marry. He doesn't want his daughter to marry one day and her husband's house to be ransacked the next day!

"Since the master agrees so much, I have nothing against it. It's just that our family and the Lin family didn't have much friendship before, so if we rush to get married now, will it be..." Mrs. Du also made sense, don't look at them all They are ministers of the same palace, but there is no friendship at all. They have taken a fancy to others, and they don't know if they will take a look at them!

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Master Du smiled confidently, wondering if he caught Master Lin's trick somewhere!Laughing a little lewdly...
