Chapter 1942: The General's wife also wants to marry into the Su family
"Sister-in-law, you mean to marry Jing'er... into the Su family?" The second wife of the general's mansion was incredulous. "Is this possible? Will the Su family agree?"
The eldest lady immediately disliked what she heard.
What do you mean the Su family can agree?
Why doesn’t the Su family agree?
"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean? Could it be that the legitimate daughter of our general's mansion is not worthy of the young man from the Su family?" The eldest lady said unhappily, "Even though the Su family is a prominent family, they have only become wealthy in recent years."
The eldest lady paused when she spoke here, a hint of pride appearing on her face.
He added, "If we talk about background and foundation, the Su family is incomparable to other aristocratic families. If a girl from our general's mansion marries into them, she will be marrying down!"
How could the Su family not agree?
It's better to laugh secretly behind the scenes.
The eldest lady thought to herself.
Of course, she didn't say this.
Second Madam: “…”
The second wife looked at the first wife with an expression that was hard to describe.
If this were said about someone else's family, it would be fine, but the Su family is different.
So what if the Su family is a new elite?
Are they really worse than those aristocratic families?
Duke Su is a direct descendant of the Su family, a century-old family. He just set up his own family because he was treated harshly.
Lady Su was the legitimate daughter of the former Duke of Ying. She was simply persecuted and left home.
Who in Beijing doesn’t know the identities of this old couple?
The Su family should have been a wealthy and powerful family, right?
Not to mention, the Su family is Princess Huaning's in-laws' family.
Even the two granddaughters-in-law that the Su family has already engaged are both princesses.
It can be said that the identity of a princess is nothing among the wives of the Su family.
After all, the sixth son of the Su family’s family married a princess, and his two grandsons were also destined to marry princesses.
Although the General's Mansion is the Empress's mother's home and the girls in the General's Mansion are indeed of noble status, they cannot be compared with the real royal princesses.
The Second Lady didn't want to belittle herself, but that was the truth.
The second wife thought so in her heart, but it was not easy to say it out loud, lest it seem that the girl from her general's mansion was worthless.
Besides, her so-called disapproval from the Su family was not based on their social status.
The Su family is prominent, and the girls in their general's mansion are equally precious.
Not to mention, the Su family should not be a family that cares about family background.
"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant." The Second Madam thought for a moment and said tactfully, "What I meant was that when Fu Ya first came to the capital, Jing'er and Fu Ya had a bad argument..."
As far as she knew, the Su family was extremely protective of their children, especially Fu Ya, their only daughter.
The eldest lady frowned and said disapprovingly, "How old was Jing'er at that time? It's common for children to say rude things. Jing'er apologized and was even punished by her father. It's been so long since the incident happened, it's over, so why are the Su family still holding on to it?"
Second Madam: “…”
Why does she feel that the Su family will not let go?
Otherwise, why has the Su family been so indifferent towards the eldest wife in recent years?
The people in the Su family are not fools.
Children are ignorant and their words and expressions are rude.
But how can children think of those things if they have never heard what adults say?
The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry at the beginning was probably because he thought of this.
The Su family is not stupid, how could they not think of this?
However, the first lady did not take the second lady's words to heart.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The Su family has always been kind and wouldn't mind a few jokes from children." The eldest lady was a little impatient, and then said, "Fu Ya has always been generous and will definitely not hold a grudge against what happened in the past. This marriage is a sure thing, sister-in-law, just act as the matchmaker."
In fact, the eldest lady also felt a little regretful.
It’s just that I don’t regret that my youngest daughter offended Tang Bao back then.
She regretted not marrying her eldest daughter to Da Pan.
As the eldest son and grandson of the Su family, Da Pan will definitely inherit the title of Duke in the future.
If Da Pan inherits the title of Duke of Guo, with the protection of his aunt Tang Bao, there will be no problem for the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion to prosper for a hundred years.
She really didn't expect that in just a few years, the Su family would rise so fast and so high.
If she had known this earlier, she would... forget it, it's useless to think about all that now, it's better to settle the marriage of her youngest daughter first.
The second wife is not as optimistic as the first wife.
If my niece offended other members of the Su family, the Su family might not bother with a child.
But I've offended Fuya...
The second wife shook her head secretly, the more she thought about it, the more unrealistic it seemed.
The Su family is indeed kind and generous, but if Fu Ya is not involved, they might be petty.
"Which grandson of the Su family did sister-in-law like?" The second wife thought for a while and asked.
"Of course it's the third son who passed the imperial examination," the eldest lady said matter-of-factly. "Although the fourth son from the sixth house is closer to Jing'er's age, Princess Yunshuang of the sixth house is a powerful woman. With such a mother-in-law around, if she sets rules for Jing'er and tortures her, it would only cause her to suffer."
The eldest lady paused and became more excited.
He added, "The Fourth House is different. The Fourth Lady is just a country woman. When Jing'er married into the House, she would have the support of our General's Mansion. Naturally, she wouldn't dare treat Jing'er harshly."
"Besides, the child from the fourth house has already passed the imperial examination and even won the first place. With the support of the Su family and our general's mansion, he will definitely have a bright future in the court. Such a child is the perfect match for Jing'er."
Second Madam: “…”
Almost rolled my eyes.
My sister-in-law has a good plan, but she is afraid that others will not agree.
In fact, if the second wife did not have a daughter of the right age, she would also want to marry her daughter to the child from the Su family.
The Su family has a good family tradition and the children themselves are outstanding. No matter which daughter marries into the family, she will surely have a smooth and happy life.
It is no wonder that the wealthy families in the capital are all eyeing the child from the Su family.
However, the second wife still felt that this marriage was difficult to succeed.
In order to avoid the Su family's rejection, which would have embarrassed both families, he made up an excuse and said, "Sister-in-law, Fu Ya is Dad's goddaughter, and she is of the same generation as Jing'er. The third grandson of the Su family is of a different generation than Jing'er..."
"Second sister-in-law, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" The eldest lady's face darkened before the second lady could finish her words, and she interrupted her. "You're acting as a matchmaker for the Xia and Su families. Aren't the Xia and Su families also godparents? Isn't there a generation gap between the Xia family's eldest daughter and the Su family's eldest grandson?"
Second Madam: “…”
How could she forget this?
"If my second sister-in-law doesn't want to be the matchmaker, just say so. I will find someone else. Why make up such a lame excuse?" The eldest lady said angrily.
The Second Madam was also a little angry, but she thought that the First Madam was the Yang family's head wife after all, so she could break up with the First Madam. She had to suppress her anger and said helplessly: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Jing'er is also my niece. If the marriage between our two families can be successful, I will be very happy."
That's the truth.
After all, the first and second wives of the general's mansion are of the same blood, and they prosper and suffer together.
If Yang Jing could really marry into the Su family, it would naturally be beneficial to the general's mansion.
Although there is a relationship between Tang Bao and the old general, and the general's mansion and the Su family are also relatives, what will happen after the old general passes away?
After all, it is not as long-lasting and stable as a marriage between two families.
What's more, if it really fails, it will just be a good opportunity for the eldest lady to slap her in the face.
"Since sister-in-law has made up her mind, I will go there." The second wife said again.
When the first lady heard the second lady say this, her expression softened.
"In that case, I'll trouble my second brother and sister-in-law to make a trip."
The eldest lady still felt a little uncomfortable when she said this.
If she hadn't known that her second brother's wife had a close relationship with the Su family, she really wouldn't have wanted her second brother's wife to act as a matchmaker.
