Chapter 1564 Love Rival
Manbao was surprised and asked, "Did your sixth sister agree too?"
Yin Huo nodded. "My father said that we could choose a decent illegitimate son from the army or some small noble family. My father is still young and should be able to see his grandson grow up."
The three of them said, "Congratulations."
Yin Huo's lips curled up, and he also felt that this was something worth celebrating, so he said, "Shall we have a drink later? Last time, Manbao seemed to have said that I could drink some osmanthus wine."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at Man Bao together.
Manbao nodded, "A little bit of wine is still drinkable."
Yin Huo was very happy, but Old Lady Yin was not very happy. However, this was a joint decision made by her son and grandson, so she couldn't say anything.
As soon as Liu Huan arrived, Yin Huo took four friends to sit at a table alone. Feng Zongping and several classmates from Chongwenguan sat with them, looking at the five of them raising their glasses to celebrate in confusion.
Feng Zongping asked Yin Huo, "Why are you so happy that your fourth sister is getting married?"
Yin Huo asked, "Were you unhappy when your sister got married?"
Feng Zongping shook his head directly, "I'm not happy."
He said, "I'll rarely see her after she gets married, and she'll have to serve other people's parents and sons. What's there to be happy about?"
Yin Huo was stunned, unable to understand this. In his memory, his sisters always seemed to be worried about getting married.
Before getting married, I worried about not marrying into a good family. After getting married, I worried about being bullied and not having brothers to support me.
So he always worried about whether his sisters could marry into a good family, and never thought that he would be unhappy after they got married.
Because he is really happy.
It's strange that there are people who are unhappy about such a happy event.
Seeing Yin Huo's confused expression, Feng Zongping said, "Your father has chosen all his sons-in-law well. Not only are your brothers-in-law obedient to your father, but your sisters' parents-in-law are also very kind to them. Naturally, there is no need to worry about this."
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with the sons-in-law chosen by Yin Li, except that their family backgrounds are relatively small and they cannot have a fair and mutually beneficial relationship with the Yin family.
Among all the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, who wouldn't marry someone from a family with a good social status?
Even if you don't marry up or marry someone of higher status, at least the two sides should be equally matched so that they can benefit from each other.
Getting married is never as simple as a man getting married to a woman, but rather a union of two families.
Even Wei Zhi, the wives of his three sons were all from prominent families, and so was his own wife.
Even though he himself came from a poor family.
Feng Zongping didn't know whether he envied the Yin family or sympathized with them. Anyway, his mood was very complicated.
Yin Huo quickly recovered and asked with a smile, "Is your marriage settled?"
Feng Zongping sighed and said, "No."
Bai Shan was curious, "You are not young anymore, why haven't you gotten engaged yet?"
Feng Zongping: "...It's not that I'm old, but that you got engaged too early."
Bai Shan: "Nonsense, look at Brother Tang and Brother Yang, they should have been engaged when they were your age, right?"
Feng Zongping was so upset that he didn't want to talk.
Manbao and Bai Erlang also looked at him curiously.
Yin Huo was more well-informed about gossip. No, it should be said that his sisters were more well-informed about gossip. He lowered his voice and asked, "Are your family trying to find you a princess?"
Feng Zongping's eyebrows twitched violently, and he looked at Yin Huo, "Yin Huo, you are a man, don't always hang out with your sisters."
Yi Ziyang couldn't help laughing.
Yin Huo glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at? Your family has been putting your marriage on hold, isn't it because they want to give you Princess Shang?"
Yi Ziyang stopped laughing.
Aside from Yin Huo, Man Bao and the other two instantly became enraged with gossip. They stared at the two men intently and asked, "So you're rivals in love now?"
Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang: ...God's love rivals, they haven't even met the princess many times.
Manbao tilted his head in confusion, "Which princess are you talking about? It can't be Princess Mingda, she's one year younger than me. That must be Princess Changyu..."
Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang picked up their teacups and drank tea together.
Manbao thought about Princess Changyu's character, looked the two of them over, and shook his head, "You can't do that."
Feng Zongping knew that Manbao and Princess Changyu were good friends, so he asked, "So what do you think Princess Changyu likes?"
"Princess Changyu likes that." Manbao pointed at Yang Heshu who was walking in from a distance.
Everyone turned their heads to look and then looked away. Feng Zongping said, "What a coincidence! Almost all the women in the capital like this."
Bai Shan and the others burst into laughter.
Yang Heshu and Tang He, who were just entering the room, heard their laughter, turned their heads and looked over. When they saw them, they paused, nodded and greeted them, and then continued to go inside.
Adults have their own circle of friends. Feng Zongping and his friends are still sitting where children should be. They all came with the adults in their family and cannot become independent individuals.
Feng Zongping and the others watched them leave, sighing, "I wonder when we can become people like them."
Bai Shan was ambitious, "I'll be able to do it when I'm a few years older."
Feng Zongping turned his head to look at him, then looked at himself, and said nothing.
Tang He asked curiously, "Why is Zhou Man sitting with them instead of going to the backyard?"
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "She's an adult now, so there's nothing wrong with putting her in the front."
In this dynasty, the separation between men and women is not strict. Zhou Man is still a fifth-rank editor. He sits in the front with Yin Huo accompanying him personally, which may make him feel more comfortable than sitting as a guest in the back house.
Tang He thought for a moment and then smiled, "That's right, Lord Yin has always been thoughtful. Zhou Man and his three daughters have all had conflicts before. Even if it's to avoid both sides, he should have arranged Zhou Man in the front."
Yang Heshu nodded slightly.
They are now sitting at the table enjoying snacks, tea and wine, and waiting for the groom to come to pick up the bride. They will also help the Yin family to stop him. After the groom has taken the guests away, they will stay for lunch. Some families will even go to the groom's house for another meal.
Of course, Feng Zongping and his companions, who were not very familiar with the Yin family's relatives, did not go. They just hung out at the Yin family, listening to storytellers and opera singers...
In the afternoon, Yin or some of the others left because they were tired, and the guests of the Yin family also gradually dispersed.
Manbao and the others saw the customs and rules of marriage in the capital, and felt satisfied. They said goodbye to Yin Huo happily and went home.
Several families that were relatively close to the Yin family also learned from Yin Li that Yin Liuniang was looking for a son-in-law, and they also left with satisfaction.
When Old Lady Yin heard the news from the front yard and saw that several ladies were already secretly inquiring with her, she knew that the matter was finally settled. She sighed and cheered up to deal with it.
Sister Yin and the others had complicated looks on their faces, and even more complicated feelings in their hearts, but today was a good day for Yin Si Niang, so no one said anything.
As for what happened afterwards, even if they wanted to say something, they didn't dare to open their mouths as Yin Li was around.
The Yin family was used to following Yin Li's arrangements in everything.
