To be honest, Hu Wen stayed in his hometown much longer than his aunt.
When Mrs.
Hu married her husband, Mr.
Hu was already an official.
When he was working abroad, Mrs.
Hu and Mr.
Hu got married while Mr.
Hu was in office, rather than a happy event in his hometown.
A few years after getting married, Mr.
Hu was admitted to the imperial examination and became an official.
Hu Shanchang and Mrs.
Hu are not mean.
Even though Mrs.
Hu is the eldest son-in-law, she does not ask Mrs.
Hu to serve the aunt.
The time to stay is limited, and the time in my hometown is even more limited.
Hu Wen was different.
When he was a child, he followed his eldest brother back to his hometown.
After that, he never returned to his father and aunt, and grew up with his grandparents.
Although he was born as a commoner and had little money of his own, Hu Wen was clever and had no airs, and he was favored by old ladies and gentlemen.
When he grew up, in addition to marrying the poorest daughter-in-law in the history of Hu's family, he always stayed with his grandfather and took care of the general affairs.
With this status, he could be the housekeeper, maid, mother-in-law, servant, etc., he Everybody can speak.
Therefore, Hu Wen asked his servant Li Chun to inquire about it, and got the news the next day.
After hearing Li Chun's reply, Hu Wen almost passed away.
I really can't live this day Hu Wen threw his chopsticks angrily and stopped eating the rice dumplings.
Li Chun also twitched the corners of his lips and said, "I still have to think of a way.
If the fairy aunt of the He family wants to enter the palace, she can't wait until now."
I heard that the matchmakers from the Zhao family who had made three or five trips to the He family just wanted to fight.
It was He Xiangu's idea to send someone to the palace to be a queen.
Otherwise, Fairy Aunt is not a mortal.
People don't admire the wealth and pay no attention to the Zhao family.
Regarding this matter, the old ladies all praised the He family for their character.
The idea that my aunt has come up with today might be possible if it were put on a mortal girl, but it would definitely not be possible for a fairy aunt.
Even Li Chun could see this.
Hu Wen was angry for a moment.
He was not the beginning of spring, so he naturally thought deeply about things.
What Hu Wen was wondering now was whether the Zhang family's cousin's move was his own intention or the Zhang family's.
As for how the master and his wife persuaded cousin Zhang, Hu Wen was not surprised at all.
His father could have deceived Zhao Er, and he was almost stunned when he thought about it.
As for the eldest wife, she has always been proud of her natal family.
The cousin of the Zhang family is both a nephew and a direct son-in-law.
He is just a concubine.
Even in the He family, in the eyes of the eldest wife, it is nothing to be afraid of.
I am afraid it is not appropriate at all.
In-laws Hu Wen thought for a while and went directly to talk to Zhang's cousin and eldest brother-in-law.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhang's cousin was older, almost thirty, and the eldest son of the Zhang family.
He had a gentle appearance and a kind man.
When he saw Hu Wen coming, he smiled and invited him.
He sat down and ordered the maid to serve tea.
Cousin Zhang smiled, "Fourth brother is always busy, why do you have time to come here today?"
Hu Wen glanced at the maid, and Cousin Zhang ordered the maid to go down.
Hu Wen said, "I heard some gossip, so why don't I come over and ask my cousin to avoid misunderstanding."
Cousin Zhang was a little surprised by Hu Wen's words.
He also made some guesses, but he could hold back and said, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know.
I just heard someone say that cousin, you want to bring cousin He's family into the palace."
Hu Wen looked at cousin Zhang's expression and said, "This is not true."
Cousin Zhang was not surprised at all.
He just pursed his lips, and there was a hint of determination on his gentle face.
He asked the question without answering, "Who did you hear about this, fourth brother?"
Hu Wen had known that even though Zhang's cousin had only donated an official position, he was very patient.
Hu Wen was also smart and had been prepared when he came.
Without even blinking, he said, "Everyone in the family knows this." .”
It was a subtle hint that the eldest man and his wife were lax.
Cousin Zhang's face darkened, then returned to normal, and said, "Actually, the Queen Mother in the palace believes deeply in the Three Pure Immortals.
Miss He is a female family member, and I heard that she has exquisite Taoism and has quite magical powers, so I want to invite her to visit the Queen Mother."
"How can she still enter the palace as a concubine after she is engaged?
Don't listen to rumors.
I am also a student of sages.
Don't you understand this?"
Hu Wenxiao said, "Let me tell you, my eldest cousin is definitely not such a person.
This is also a coincidence.
Cousin He has returned the tortoise shell and spiritual money to Sanqing, and she will no longer give people divination.
It's Sanqing's business. , She is a little girl, and she is limited in Taoism.
Besides, the Zhao family brought Wang Shenxian from Furong County to the imperial capital, and she was probably just a Taoist priest like Wang Shenxian. " Hu Wen smiled and refused the matter.
Whether it was divination or preaching, forget it.
The empress dowager of the imperial capital or something like that, their status makes them tremble all over just thinking about it.
If a man, like Wang Laodao, wants to be rich and powerful, it would be okay to take a chance.
He Zijin is a little girl, and her marriage has been decided.
If she goes to that place, in three or four years, when A Nian is old, the two of them should get married.
Cousin Zhang could naturally hear Hu Wen's explicit refusal, and Cousin Zhang said, "I was thinking that we are all relatives, and the He family is also your in-law family, fourth brother.
Not everyone has such an opportunity.
Otherwise, my sisters would be happy, but they don’t have that kind of talent.”
The Hu family is also a wealthy family in Bishui County.
They have been wealthy for hundreds of years and have some wealth.
Hu Wen was a concubine who grew up in the family.
In terms of wealth, he could not compare with his brothers who live in the same room, nor could he compare with his cousins who live next to him.
Therefore, when Hu Shanchang arranged the marriage with the Chen family, he was more interested in Hu Wen because he thought that his grandson was a concubine, and the young mother's family would help him, so he wanted to find a way for the Yue family to benefit him.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family's marriage was arranged to the second wife and third son, both of whom were grandchildren, so Chief Hu Shan was not unhappy.
Thinking of arranging a prosperous marriage for Hu Wen, Hu Wen found the third girl by himself.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There was nothing wrong with the third girl, but she was a bit cold.
But it can also be seen from this marriage that although Hu Wen was born in a wealthy family like the Hu family, he really didn't value wealth.
Otherwise, he couldn't have asked to marry the third girl in the first place.
Therefore, Cousin Zhang uses wealth and honor to impress people.
He can impress Mr.
Hu and Mrs.
Hu, but he really cannot impress Hu Wen.
Therefore, Hu Wenxiao said, "I don't think Cousin He is that talented.
Otherwise, as soon as you came here, cousin, she just lost the spirit of divination.
I heard that there are also female Taoists in Furong County, and their Taoism is not as good as Wang's."
Damn it, if my cousin needs it, I'll ask him about it.
I'm more familiar with the country than my cousin."
Cousin Zhang said, "Since He Xiangu doesn't have any intention, then let it be."
Hu Wen chatted for a while and then left.
Hu Wen was not in a hurry to tell his wife about this matter.
If he told her about it, it would only make her angry.
Hu Wen quietly told his grandfather.
Hu Wen said, "I don't know whether what cousin Zhang said is true or not.
Our family Although my surname is Hu, I am not related to the Queen Mother or anything like that.
I trembled when I heard it.
This is not a trivial matter.
I went to cousin Zhang to find out more and hurriedly came to tell my grandfather
.
"
Chief Hu Shan was not angry.
This was not uncommon in the officialdom.
Some people, like the Zhao family, sent their daughters to the palace to be concubines and gave birth to a prince.
Not to mention a civilian family like the Zhao family.
I'm afraid the Gongmen Hou Mansion is also willing.
Now that the Zhang family is interested in He Zijin, Hu Shanchang asked Hu Wen, "What do you think?"
"Ah" Hu Wen didn't understand what his grandfather meant.
Hu Shan said, "I mean, what do you think about this matter?"
Although Hu Wen loved to tell stories to his grandparents, what did he think about this matter?
He didn't know what Zhang's family meant.
Hu Wen was a little confused, but he was a smart person.
His grandfather asked him what he meant, and he obviously took it seriously.
He, he can't say he doesn't know.
In fact, he had also thought about this matter.
Hu Wen scratched his head and said, "My grandson has also thought about it randomly.
Let's start with the relationship between our family and the Queen Mother's family.
My grandfather also said that it's a fluke that they both have the same surname. .
Moreover, my grandfather was a prefect, and my father was dismissed from the post.
If the Queen Mother really takes our family seriously, I think my father will not be so easy to be dismissed.
Dismissal from office .
It can be seen that our family is just a normal relationship in the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I just think that the matter with cousin Zhang is strange.
Even the Zhao family and Zhao Er did not know that the cousin of the He family is also a standout in our county.
Yes, Zhao Er's short-sighted person may have taken a fancy to cousin He, but Cousin Zhang has never seen such a beauty.
Cousin He has a small reputation, and she is famous in our county and in the state capital. .Cousin Zhang is so strange. , He seems to be targeting Cousin He.
My grandson can't figure it out for the moment.
I'm afraid Cousin Zhang won't tell the truth to me easily.
Speaking from my in-law's family, although his family background is ordinary, he is really not Zhao.
Waiting to see you off at home Cousin He's marriage has already been decided for a family where a girl enters the palace to strive for wealth.
There is no need to ask about this, because they won't be happy with it.
So, I thought, although we and the Zhang family are not from outside the family, we have two surnames.
His family has his own family But our family now has my grandfather running the academy in the county for these years, and my father has returned safely.
It’s not like there are no outstanding children in our family.
The eldest brother and the fifth brother are about to leave in Qiuwei, and there are also two scholars in the clan, uncle Jinke.
It will end.
It is better for our family to pursue the imperial examination and official career in a serious manner.
Why bother to follow the nepotism of the Queen Mother?
Once we get into that relationship, it seems to be a shortcut.
I always feel unsafe.
Our family is not that close to others. " After hearing this, Chief Hu Shan sighed deeply, "Our family has gone through hundreds of years, and now we still have a small family fortune.
Our ancestors once set an ancestral precept not to have too much friendship with descendants.
Back then, As an official, it’s not because I didn’t make friends with Cheng’en.
If you think about the opportunity of the government, it is not unusual for such a large family to have a short-lived life.
The thunder and rain come from above.
Qian, how can you not be cautious?"
Hu Shanchang sighed, and then told Hu Wen, "The Queen Mother is my biological mother.
She is highly honored and favored by Duke Cheng'en.
The biological mother of His Highness the Prince is also from the family of Duke Cheng'en."
Hu Wendao said, "Then if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Duke Cheng'en's mansion will continue to be rich and noble."
"Why, you regret it again."
Hu Wen waved his hands repeatedly, "That's what I'm saying.
Grandpa, someone with your knowledge can only survive in the officialdom until the prefect.
I don't dare to think about these things.
I just thought that our family is not poor anymore.
Just work slowly and steadily."
There is no need to try to reach the sky in one step, but I respect you.
It's expensive, and the risk is high.
Besides, Cousin Zhang really thought that Cousin He would be happy when he said it.
You see, Cousin He is smiling all day long, and he knows very well that what she doesn't like is to force her to do it.
If she gets ahead, the Zhang family will not be left behind."
Hu Shanzhang said, "Your Yue family is so respected by people, not those who are short-sighted."
Hu Wen was humble on behalf of the Yue family, "No prizes, no prizes.
I'm a scholar."
Hu Shanchang said, "Go and call your brother-in-law from the Zhang family.
I'll ask him what's going on.
His family is also a well-established family.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In recent years, it has been better than ours.
Why is it so eager for quick success?
, I want to take chestnuts from the fire."
Hu Wen went to call for help.
I don’t know what Hu Shanchang told cousin Zhang, but cousin Zhang resigned the next day and returned to the state capital.
Hu Wen then told his wife the whole story.
The third girl was really unhappy and said, "I said earlier that the Zhao family is short-sighted and ignorant.
How can a wealthy family like the Zhang family be like the Zhao family?"
"Anyway, it's all settled.
My grandfather told my cousin Zhang himself."
The third girl didn't say anything anymore.
She thought that the matter would just go away, and the Zhang family's cousin also left, so the third girl didn't mention it to her parents' family, so as not to cause trouble.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was getting hotter and hotter every day.
However, Uncle Chen went to He's house and chatted with Mrs.
He for a long time.
Mrs.
He was confused and asked incredulously, "You It means asking our girl to teach the Queen Mother the Dharma."
"Yes, I heard that Furong County's Taoist Wang has been granted the title of Immortal in the Imperial Capital.
Our Zijin's skills are no worse than his Taoist Wang.
Not everyone has such an opportunity."
He Lao Niang looked at the sun outside and asked with concern, "Uncle, are you not suffering from heat stroke?
You are a commoner like us who is just doing business and have never been out of the state capital.
How do you know that you know the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother" is out of her mind.
Mrs.
He can no longer believe this.
She feels that Uncle Chen is bragging.
Don't talk about the Queen Mother.
Uncle Chen was afraid that he didn't know who the Queen Mother was, so he came over to brag with her.
Uncle Chen said, "I haven't been lucky enough to know the Queen Mother.
Don't I have any news?
The Ning family is my in-laws.
The eldest father of his family is a high-ranking official in the imperial capital.
If there is any news about his family, I will tell him immediately when I hear about it."
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will never have it again.”
He Lao Niang was quite moved, but she was willing to go to the past.
She always felt that her girl's film was good.
But now, Mrs.
He said, "You have good intentions, but you also have to think about it.
The girl's marriage has been decided.
She will have to prepare a dowry in the next few years and cannot go out.
Besides, she is a girl who is asked to go to that far away place in the imperial capital." " Uncle Chen sighed again and again, "There is no shop like this in this village.
My sister, how can ordinary people have such a good fortune?
If San Niu and Four Niu have the skills of Zijin, I can't stop them anymore."
Although Zijin’s marriage is settled and A-Nian is still young, there is no shortage of time.

Besides, if Zijin has the chance to preach to the Queen Mother, I would rather escort her to the imperial capital.
How can I let you worry about these trivial matters.
Moreover, I heard that if the Queen Mother favors her, she will be rewarded with many treasures when she gets married, and she will have a lifetime of expenses.
The Queen Mother has a good relationship.
I think it will be beneficial to be an official in the future.
Even when I do business, I have to maintain relationships and friendship.
This is even more so when I am an official.
I need someone in the court. " Mrs.
He was no smarter than Uncle Chen, and she didn't realize that all the checks written by Mr.
Chen were empty promises.
Moreover, how could Mrs.
He know that the Queen Mother was not a queen?
In Mrs.
He's imagination, the Queen Mother was almost the same as the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Palace.
But He Lao Niang is also confident, and her girl is also a fairy.
Therefore, He Lao Niang never thought that if a person enters the palace, he will be in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and he will be able to build a relationship with the Queen Mother.
What Mrs.
He told Uncle Chen made her even more excited.
If it were someone else's matter, Mrs.
He would have to respond, but it was related to her daughter, and her son and daughter-in-law didn't know about it yet.
How could such a big thing not be discussed with the whole family?
.
And A Nian, in He Lao Niang's traditional consciousness, a girl becomes someone else's family once she gets married, and A Nian must agree to this.
Mother He felt that the opportunity was rare, so she told Aunt Chen, "I can't make this decision alone, we have to discuss it together."
Uncle Chen was able to convince Mrs.
He even if he had a smooth tongue.
As soon as He Zijin heard this, he said, "Uncle Chen, please don't be deceived by others.
You really think that the palace is easy to mess around with.
What is Wang Shenxian doing?"
In this way, don’t look at the nobles now and wonder what to do in the future.
Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who believe in Taoism, but Confucianism is very strict about keeping ghosts and gods at a distance.
Now that Wang Shenxian is proud, wait until later.
Once he loses power, many people will come to him to settle accounts.
Don't talk about his disciples and grandsons.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for his own family.
Keep it.
You call I went to preach the Dharma to the Queen Mother.
There were so many famous people around the Queen Mother.
How could those people allow me to share the Queen Mother's favor?
If someone stumbled upon me, I would die without knowing it. , I am proud, my family is good, you It's also good.
I'm going to be in trouble, not to mention my family.
I have to bow to you when I see the county magistrate, but the magistrate dares to think about what's going on in the palace.
This is really a matter of money and life, so please don’t ask me for advice.
Don't be fooled by others.
How about the Zhao family?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There is a queen in his palace, but His Majesty did not reward his family with an official position.
The third young master of his family married the daughter of the governor's family.
Have you ever asked?
That is considered the governor's family.
Has her daughter ever entered the Governor's Palace or gone to the General Office?
The governor's family tree is a daughter who was born in a brothel and whose father is unknown.
The Zhao family is just trying to get married like this.
Does the governor dare to say outside that this is his daughter?
This is still a family with a prince and grandson.
Except for the Zhao family, Let’s show off our bad smell in our county, and why not?
Is there any other benefit?
Isn't it that other people tried to steal your salt but failed?
Think about it, what kind of good intentions do the people who deceive you have?
Don't be fooled by this.
Your life is not easy.
It comes with wind and rain.
The Ning family has to be careful to earn this family fortune.
What's the matter?
His family is prominent in the state capital, but can it be considered a middle-class family when it comes to the imperial capital?
There are many more prominent families than his, and his family can also get involved in the affairs around the Queen Mother.
The eldest son of his family is the emperor, or should I say?
, his family has the final say on matters in the palace."
Uncle Chen is just a businessman.
He relied on his own cleverness, some shamelessness and luck to get his family business today.
When it comes to knowledge, his knowledge is only limited to the state capital.
If this was his granddaughter, Uncle Chen would definitely be happy to see it, but He Zijin's surname was not Chen, and Uncle Chen came to talk to the He family after asking about it.
Listening to He Zijin's words, Uncle Chen was a little stunned.
He hesitated and said, "Girl Zijin, I asked you to say this.
This is a bad opportunity."
"I just feel that if there are no such talents in the imperial capital, how can it be our turn in Shu?
It is Shu, and there are so many talents in the state capital, how can it be my turn?
Grandpa, you have been deceived, right?"
Chen My uncle is shameless, but it's really not like he can figure this out.
He is like a middle-aged man.
He is the man in the middle, and He Zijin has to teach him that if he dares to do this kind of venture capital, the old guy is really desperate for his life.
Of course, it is best to drive a wedge between the Chen Ning family.
"How can this be" "Why not?
If it were such a great thing, the Ning family would ask their own girls to learn a few Taoist scriptures, put on Taoist uniforms and go to the palace to serve the Queen Mother.
Why would they go around the corner and ask my uncle to come to my house?
Give me this opportunity."
At this point, it doesn’t matter that Uncle Chen’s business relies heavily on the Ning family, but psychologically, Uncle Chen naturally trusts any family more, not to mention that they are serious in-laws.
Of course, the Ning family is also his in-laws, but...
On the one hand, her daughter is considered a widow, and of course, this is done by Uncle Chen; on the other hand, he and the Ning family have more of a cooperative relationship.
Uncle Chen was really confused this time.
He Zijin had a smile on his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, please don't ask others to plot against you."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Uncle Chen is an old fox after all.
He doesn't mind being used by the Ning family.
If what the Ning family said is true, he really wants to push He Zijin, but the Ning family shouldn't lie to him that Uncle Chen could take advantage of him in the first place.
He Zijin was not his biological daughter, so he was willing to do anything beneficial.
But the key point is that this matter has to be of real benefit and cannot put lives in danger, otherwise the Chen and He families would not have formed a deep hatred.
He is trying to get rich, but he has not lost his humanity after all.
Uncle Chen sighed, "I I originally thought that the Ning family and I are in-laws, so I would believe him when his family told him I came here to discuss it with you.
It’s good for everyone if I can take advantage of it.
Hey, I didn’t think much about it because I was a scholar.
I was just happy.
Ah, but if there is such a good thing, how can the Ning family be willing to give it to our family?"
Uncle Chen stood up and said, "There must be something going on here.
Girl Zijin, please don't leave the house anytime soon.
I'll go find out more.
I can't let people plot it in vain.
Oh, A-Nian, you're looking at your sister Zijin so much, but She cannot be allowed to go out alone."
He Gong was his biological father.
He quickly stopped Uncle Chen and asked, "Uncle, someone wants to attack this girl."
"They can no longer work here.
There must be some connection with Zijin that we don't know about.
The Ning family must have a reason to fool me.
I can't say for sure at the moment.
We are all familiar with each other in the county.
Folks, it’s hard for them to do anything, but they can’t make too many mistakes.
Just in case.
When I find out, there will be no need to do this."
Uncle Chen looked at He Zijin and said, "Although our Zijin is provocative, in the county and in the state capital, there are many who are better-looking than her.
Ah.
There are many Taoists in the Immortal Palace who are profound in Taoism."
Uncle Chen said goodbye.
He Gong and A Nian sent Uncle Chen off.
A Nian discussed with He Gong, "Do you want me to go to the state capital to ask Uncle Sun about something?"
He Gong said, "You're still young, just let me go."
You can't rely entirely on Uncle Chen for this matter, and Uncle Chen can't afford to offend the Ning family.
A Nian's heart moved and she said, "Uncle He, don't worry, let's not go to the state capital yet.
I'll go to Master Chaoyun first to ask."
He Gong said, "Let's go together."
Ah Nian agreed and went back to talk to Mrs.
Shen He.
Shen said, "Take Xiao Fuzi and Sixi with you, and let Ashan find a few more people.
You can go together."
He Gongxiao said, "That's it.
This is still Bishui County.
Our family is a scholar's home, so it's not like this.
My uncle is just in case.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I asked Ashan to bring a few people over to the house.
You guys close the door."
To be honest, he was also worried, fearing that someone would snatch his daughter away.
He Zijin smiled, "Father, you and A-Nian can rest assured.
The people living in this area are all from our tribe, so there is nothing to worry about."
Madam He said, "It's almost noon now.
Let's go after dinner."
He Gong said, "Aren is on the mountain.
There are many restaurants on the mountain.
It's the same when we go to the mountain to eat."
He Gong was worried that his daughter would not have the heart to eat.
He Lao Niang said nothing.
After He Gong and Anian left, He Lao Niang said, "It's a pity that the girl returned the black shell, otherwise it would be better to predict good or bad luck."
He Zijin said, "I have already done the divination, and the divination says that I will be lucky in the past two years."
Madam He was relieved and said with relief, "If you didn't tell me earlier, you would have worried me for nothing."
She believed in her girl's prediction of five taels of silver a time.
Madam He said to Mrs.
Shen, "What do you think of the Ning family?
We have been there once before, and it seems that the old lady is not a bad person.
Why is it like this?
Your uncle is an in-law after all, so it is not true. " Shen said, "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts."
She also suspected that Uncle Chen was not a real person.
He Zijin is not worried about himself.
Just like what Uncle Chen said, she has seen some of her family's jade in Bishui County, but not many in the state capital, let alone a place like the imperial capital where there are so many talents.
What He Zijin is worried about is Taoist Chao Yun.
Among the people around her, in terms of mystery, Taoist Chao Yun ranks first.
These people are probably drunkards who don't care about drinking.
