They didn’t understand it before, but after living in the capital for a year, they heard some things.
Those officials have really elegant homes.
Except for a few who are not serious about their future.
As for the rest, even if they favored concubines, they dared not show it in public for fear of being impeached by the censor.
No one has ever promoted a concubine to be the main wife, saying that it has a bad influence and is a loss of status.
Liang Zhijun was not only worried about Ling Jiren's future, but also worried that having such a relative would affect her son's future.
Unexpectedly, Ling Jihao didn't care at all: "Aunt Wan has worked diligently over the years to take care of my nephews and nieces. Even if the royal family knew about it, they would only praise her. Don't worry."
Seeing that he didn't care, Liang Zhijun didn't say much.
But I did send a letter to Shouzhou to explain the whole story, hoping that Tong Sinian would not take it too seriously.
In the front yard, Mrs. Huang was surprised for a moment after hearing the news, and then she accepted the fact.
She had known the Ling family for many years and had had private contact with the concubine.
She is indeed more presentable than Ling Jiren’s deceased first wife.
Besides, her son is going to marry her sister.
After the girl got married, she no longer had much relationship with her parents' family.
Why should she bother to be disliked?
Mrs. Huang immediately packed herself up and went to Rongsiyuan to plead for the two men.
His words were full of admiration for Wan Chunqin.
Although Geng Suhua did not agree, she did not look sullen either.
Just don't respond.
Mrs. Huang realized that this was because she was unhappy and was trying to manipulate the two of them.
Yes, seeing that his son had a bright future, but then a concubine came out and ruined everything, who would be happy?
Mrs. Huang sat for a while, subtly sounded out her in-laws' attitude, and then left.
I went to the matchmaker to discuss the betrothal gift, but after just a few words, the conversation turned to the eldest wife of the Ling family.
Mrs. Huang sighed and told others about the young couple's predicament.
"My master is the magistrate of Yunrou County, how could he not know how that family got here?
Although Chunqin was just a concubine, she took care of her legitimate sons and daughters as if they were her own.
The two lost their mother when they were young, so she raised them.
Seeing that the children have grown up and the husband has become an official, it is time to live a good life, but this status is really...
I heard that you introduced quite a few girls to the eldest brother of the Ling family. Do they all have good family backgrounds?
The Ling family has always declined for this reason. You can't just have people who need you go forward and people who don't need you go backward.
I can only say that his family values affection too much.”
"So the Ling family is trying to make that concubine their legitimate wife?"
“I do have this intention, but I’m afraid it will affect the child’s future.
We have risked our lives for this. If this little thing ruins the impression you have on your superiors, you will be in trouble!
Anyway, we've been through this all these years. The worst that can happen is that we can just maintain the status quo.
I just think that good children shouldn’t suffer this kind of injustice.”
The matchmaker rolled his eyes several times.
Before leaving, Mrs. Huang stuffed a large banknote into the matchmaker's hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of this matter."
The matchmaker understood: "Don't worry, Madam Huang."
After leaving, Mrs. Huang bought a lot of things in the city and also went to the pawnshop to inquire if there were any houses for sale near the Ling family.
After receiving the negative news, she was not in a hurry and asked the broker to help keep an eye on it with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if it's big or small, new or old, as long as it's in a good location and close to that place."
The broker agreed and sent the person away politely.
Mrs. Huang walked back slowly, and at this time, Liang Zhijun also arrived at Rongsiyuan to plead for Ling Jiren and Wan Chunqin.
"Don't be angry, I don't know you?
We mothers all have one thing in mind, and that is to hope for the best for our children.
Now that Ji Ren has found someone he cares about, we have to help him.
Otherwise, when he returns to the barracks, you will have to remember it again."
How could Geng Suhua not know this? Otherwise, her attitude would not have softened.
But as everyone guessed, she was worried about his future.
Although Ling Weiyuan said that it wouldn't be the case, she was still worried.
The tacit understanding between the two people came from their years of getting along. They came up with a solution just by looking at each other.
After Madam Huang left, Ling Weiyuan also went out to make arrangements. He hoped that they could plan and clear the obstacles for Ling Jiren.
Chi Xingyue had a general idea of what was happening with the first wife, but he didn't pay any more attention to it.
She was flirting with Ling Jiheng in the room, but he only stayed there for three days before returning to the academy.
Although I'm not sure if I can pass the imperial examination, I still have to study.
Otherwise, it will be too late if you wait for the results to come out.
Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo also packed up their things and returned to the academy.
Before leaving, he looked at Mrs. Huang reluctantly. Mrs. Huang said that she would stay here until April. Huang Minbo was relieved and strode into the carriage.
Of course, besides his own mother, he also couldn't bear to leave Ling Jiran.
He lifted the curtain and looked around, then saw someone coming out to see him off, and rolled his eyes.
Mrs. Huang said she couldn't bear to watch it.
In Yunrou County, County Magistrate Huang was shocked when he received the letter.
He didn't expect that his son would agree to so many unequal treaties in order to marry a girl from the Ling family.
As men, we all understand each other.
He is considered loyal and has several concubines. Can his son really resist the temptation from outside and stay with one woman for his whole life?
Not only does he not believe it, no one else would believe it either.
But what should I do now, agree or not?
County Magistrate Huang hesitated for two days and finally agreed to the marriage.
Not to mention that the Ling family is now developing rapidly. There are two generals, two juren, and a county lord with a fiefdom in the family.
Just that huge fortune was enough to make him excited.
Although Ling Jiran, as a woman, could not inherit the family property, she had a dowry.
