Everyone in the capital knows that the granddaughter of the Minister of Personnel is obese.
What's so special about the family of the Minister of War? Why would they give that kind of person to their son?
The old lady did this for the sake of her second son.
Yu Xing'an also knew that his mother had gone a little too far this time, so he didn't say anything good for her.
He had no choice but to comfort his wife, "Don't worry, if the second son doesn't agree, no one can force him. I will find a way from mother's side."
"That's more like it. Let me tell you, if you dare to arrange a marriage for my son, I won't forgive you."
.........
Yu Xingan didn't want to talk anymore. Just you? You still can't let me go?
Unexpectedly, her wife's next words were: "Don't come into my main courtyard anymore. Go to your beauties instead."
When Yu Xing'an heard his wife mention concubines, he felt a little short of breath. It was all caused by his youthful debauchery.
But now that he is old, he has lost interest in these things, but his wife was unhappy when he brought it up.
"Don't talk about this all the time. Don't worry, leave Shan'er's affairs to me."
Madam Yu was still angry and started to say, "Fortunately, the eldest son's marriage was arranged when his father-in-law was still alive, otherwise, I don't know what kind of marriage my mother would have arranged.
Yi'er is older now, and I'm really worried that Mom will make a deal without telling me."
Yu Xing'an also felt a headache when he mentioned his biological mother, but there was nothing he could do, because he was a son after all.
The couple sat for a while, and then Yu Xing'an went to the ancestral hall to look for his good-for-nothing son.
Yu Shan was obedient. When he was told to kneel in the ancestral hall, he really knelt, and he did so very uprightly.
Yu Xing'an originally liked this child the most. He was well-mannered and well-educated since childhood, and he had rules for everything he did.
He thought he had a good future, but in the end, this guy resigned without saying a word.
I almost got mad to death.
When Yu Shan saw his father come in, he didn't stand up, but just knelt and called out "Dad".
"I thought you would never come back in this lifetime, what's going on? You're back now, but you can't make it out there anymore?"
I was so determined when I left, but I came back in less than a year.
"No, I came back to discuss something with you and mother."
He had been away with Lin Hai for several months and now came back to propose marriage.
"What are you discussing? Aren't you quite capable?"
Yu Shan: ...Can you please speak properly now?
"I'm here for serious business this time, not joking."
"Then tell me what you want to say."
He was quite curious. This kid didn't even discuss giving up his future with his family, and he actually came back this time.
"I have someone I want to marry, and I came back this time to ask my parents to help me propose."
"What did you say?"
He had clearly heard it all, but he still had to ask again. Yu Shan was speechless.
"I said, I have a girl I like!"
He said loudly.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf. Whose daughter is this?"
In Yu Xing'an's opinion, if she wasn't a daughter of a wealthy family, Yu Shan wouldn't look down on her. That girl must have something special about her.
He said, "I'm from Qingyan Town, my family is very ordinary, and my brother is a scholar."
"That's it?"
“That’s it!”
Yu Xingan was almost mad. This kid was obviously very obedient and sensible when he was young, but why did he become more and more deviant as he grew up?
"I think you are crazy, I don't look down on people's family background.
A girl from this kind of family is destined to suffer in our family. Do you have to follow her around and protect her every day?
Also, you must know how much social interaction there is in Beijing. Because of her, you are talked about and laughed at every day. Have you ever thought about these things?
If things go on like this for a long time, your relationship will eventually break down."
These may happen to other people, but never to Lin Mei.
Yu Shan believes it!
Besides, he really doesn't want to be an official. I guess his father still has some illusions in his mind.
"Dad, these are not problems. You know, I really don't want to be an official. I like working in the library."
Yu Xingan was really helpless, "You don't like being an official, it's such a pity that you are only a third place winner.
Don't you want to do something for the people? You know so many people in the capital, won't they laugh at you?
So what if you're a "Tanhua Lang" (a scholar in the imperial examination)? You can't even get the lowest rank of the ninth rank. You feel very cool now, but can you guarantee that you won't regret it in the future? "
This is a very realistic problem. Just because many people don’t like something when they are young doesn’t mean they won’t like it in the future.
He didn't want his son to regret it in the future.
As for the Yu family, he is now a second-rank official, a level that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.
His eldest son is also quite promising.
There's no need for marriage or anything like that.
As for the other branches, haha! After the old lady passed away, they had already separated.
Who cares!
