Chapter 60060 The dilemma is still an outsider after all.
Wang Ziteng was very shocked that his precious daughter actually wanted to become a nun.
In fact, the moment he heard Xianyu's voice, he felt sick.
He had always thought that Xianyu lived a happy life.
After all, the entire Wang family, including him and the old lady of the Wang family, treated Xianyu very well. It can be said that they almost worshipped her as their ancestor.
The Wang family had no worries about food and clothing, and they were a wealthy family. Nothing had ever troubled Xianyu. If there was a template for beautiful and wealthy women in the world, it would be her.
The only problem was that their family had recently attracted the attention of His Majesty for some reason. Well, Wang Ziteng knew exactly why. It was because Xianyu was too true to her nature and accidentally let His Majesty know that she could express her inner thoughts...
So, his beloved daughter Xianyu actually approves of His Majesty? To the extent that His Majesty's favorability was once ranked in the top three?
I really have to say that my precious daughter has quite good taste.
At least this point should make His Majesty happy, so no matter how outrageous or rebellious Xianyu's thoughts were, His Majesty did not blame her. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
I originally thought that the days would pass by peacefully like this.
However, when His Majesty ordered his precious daughter to enter the palace to be a companion to the Fifth Princess and to accompany the Empress Dowager, and soon ordered her to serve in the Imperial Study, his words showed that he was very satisfied with his precious daughter, which inevitably set off Wang Ziteng's alarm bells.
He, Wang Ziteng, is not a greenhouse flower like his wife, Liu, who has no prospects at all.
His wife, Liu, was of outstanding appearance and good character, but she was already old and her brain seemed to be completely useless. His mother, Mrs. Wang, had long said that this daughter-in-law was a good person, but her brain was not very good and she often couldn't figure out the situation. It was a waste of her good family background.
So, how did the Liu family teach their children? Why were they so worrying? The old lady of the Wang family's nagging successfully reminded Wang Ziteng that his brother-in-law Liu Fang's family was also very troublesome. And that nephew of his wife, who seemed to be named Liu Xianglian, actually became a bandit...
As expected, not only the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion, but even the Liguo Mansion seemed to be in trouble.
From this point of view, his wife Liu is not a bad person. She is just confused. As long as she is not involved in things, no big trouble will arise.
No matter how cautious one is, one would have thought that something was still missed - she actually planned to arrange the marriage between Wang Yao and Xianyu.
Come on, is this something you should be thinking about?
It's totally beyond your ability.
As expected, the result of her reckless performance was that she embarrassed herself at the Prince of Beijing's Mansion...Listening to Liu bragging and taking credit for her performance at the Prince of Beijing's Mansion, as well as her plans, Wang Ziteng felt his face burning with pain.
It's so embarrassing.
Although he was not at the scene, Wang Ziteng could already imagine how embarrassing the situation was.
The most terrifying thing is that if the Prince Beijing’s Mansion takes it seriously and really considers marrying into their family, that would be terrible.
As Xianyu just said, whether it is Wang Yao or Xianyu’s marriage, it probably all depends on His Majesty.
Just because of that first meeting in the restaurant, the two children both made appointments with the Emperor.
Although they didn't know what kind of marriage the Emperor wanted to arrange for them, they certainly didn't dare to arrange it privately - if there was a suitable candidate, it would have been better to decide on it earlier, but the key was that there was no such person.
I won’t say anything about Wang Yao.
He was bound to take the path of imperial examination to build his family.
In this case, his marriage cannot simply be a matter of marrying someone of equal social status.
On this point, Wang Ziteng's ideas are the most advanced in the entire Wang family. Whether it is the old man or the old lady of the Wang family, they still have the traditional concept of marriage based on equal status, and the girls they show to Wang Yao are all ordinary ladies from famous families.
But in fact, for Wang Yao, the person who can help him the most is definitely the girl from a scholarly family.
For example, Jia Zhu of the Jia family married the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
This will definitely be of great help to his path to the imperial examination.
At least it would be nice to have a "red-sleeved lady" or something like that.
Wang Yao had many bad habits of a playboy in his early years, but in the past two years since he returned to Nanjing to observe mourning for the old grandfather of the Wang family, he somehow suddenly became smart and got rid of 80% of his past bad habits. He has been completely transformed.
From this perspective, it is really possible to consider completely "abandoning military affairs and pursuing literature."
Although the old man of the Wang family got the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp from the Jia family by sending Wang Ziteng to the Shenjiying in the capital and under the command of Jia Daishan.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
For those Han people who had obtained titles through military merit in their early years, abandoning military affairs and pursuing literature was a general trend.
After the conquest of the country, the hidden danger of "non-our race" became apparent - even though the current Emperor is very open-minded and attaches great importance to Han officials, a look at the current high-ranking officials in the military shows that they are all children of Manchu and Mongolian nobles, which is very telling.
The only people His Majesty truly trusts are the descendants of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia.
As for the Han people?
Even if they are from the Han Army Banner, they are still outsiders after all.
This is really sad.
This is because they were originally Han Chinese soldiers and civilians who surrendered when the Qing army entered the pass, and they even made many military achievements in the early battles. They were no longer considered pure Han Chinese.
The situation of a family like the Wang family, which is neither up nor down, having participated in many battles but not yet joined the Han army flag and only having a title, is even more embarrassing.
It's more like a kind of appeasement, there is no real power at all.
If it weren’t for the ability of the old man of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng would not even have the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp.
But when it came to Wang Ziteng, things became increasingly difficult.
He was in an important position in the capital, at the center of the storm, and he understood the emperor's thoughts more thoroughly. Therefore, he deeply understood that the emperor was wary of, disgusted with, and wary of these families who inherited the title from different surnames.
In short, if they don't make up their minds to give up martial arts and pursue literature, the fate that awaits them will surely be the confiscation of their property.
He had only had some vague guesses about this matter before, but after his precious daughter Xianyu awakened the ability to express her thoughts, he got confirmation from her.
Therefore, the Jia family was indeed confiscated because of their willful and backward behavior. Although he had a prosperous career and rose rapidly in a short period of time, he was soon exiled to Ningguta because he offended the emperor, and finally died on the way to exile...
It's so miserable.
So it turns out that we must not take the wrong path, otherwise we will be doomed.
Fortunately, his son Wang Yao worked hard and the imperial examination was about to end. I don’t know how he did.
If he does well in the exam, he can also see if there are any suitable girls in the families of the upright civil officials in the court. This way, at least he will have a basis for when the Emperor asks him about Wang Yao's marriage. Based on his understanding of the Emperor's temper over the years, even if the Emperor has a plan in mind about a matter, if he asks you and you simply reply with "It's up to the Emperor", he will be unhappy.
Therefore, it is really difficult to make it in the officialdom, especially in the court of the current Emperor.
You definitely can forget about the Beijing Prince's Palace. If you want to take the imperial examination, it's better not to even think about being a princess or a princess.
No, compared to my son Wang Yao, the most important thing now is indeed my daughter Xianyu.
This child was fine, why did he suddenly want to become a monk?
Could it be that she was frightened by the news that His Majesty was going to arrange a marriage for her?
Did I misunderstand something again?
Speaking of which, there were some misunderstandings when she first met the Emperor. The girl actually thought that the Emperor was interested in her... In fact, he just liked her and wanted to arrange a marriage for a prince.
It might be the Fourth Prince. At that time, the Fourth Prince was the only one with His Majesty. He thought that there was something wrong with the look in the Fourth Prince’s eyes - he actually had feelings for his twelve-year-old daughter?
What a beast!
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but get a little angry again, but soon he regained some of his senses.
So, just because of this, my precious daughter wants to become a nun to avoid marriage?
How is that possible!
Even if he had to disobey the imperial order and have his property confiscated, he could not let his daughter suffer. For such a small matter, he actually forced his precious daughter to become a nun. It was really too much.
He absolutely could not tolerate this happening, so, as expected, he decided to choose a good family for his daughter first.
However, if she really doesn't want to get married, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to leave home for the time being... What did my daughter just say?
There was a girl named Miaoyu who became a nun in the ancestral temple of the Jia family?
Is this true?
If it's true, I'll go to Jia's house right away to see how it's done...
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Ziteng's mind. He was just waiting for the cooling-off period of Xianyu's inner thoughts to end so that he could set off to the Jia family to inquire "how to avoid things you don't want to do by becoming a nun." As a result, Xianyu's next thought came out immediately.
[Alas, it's a pity that Miaoyu is still in Panxiang Temple on Xuanmu Mountain in Gusu. I don't know how Lin Ruhai and his family are doing now, and whether Brother Lin has been rescued... I miss them a little. ]
