Chapter 424 Zhao Houyang chose his wife from his previous life
After Zhao Houyang finished yelling, he immediately stepped forward to greet Zhao Lingmeng, and did not forget to act coquettishly and want his mother to make the decision for him: "Mom..."
"Hurry up and sit down! If you keep on wasting time, the breakfast will get cold." Zhao Lingmeng would never judge the case for them so early in the morning!
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengchen, Zhao Houjing and the other three couldn't wait to find a seat and sit down.
Even Zhao Houyang, who had just been clamoring for Zhao Lingmeng to make the decision, was now fixated on the food on the table. He had no time to argue with his brothers.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at these children, who were already so old, but still looked like they couldn't walk because of the food. She thought to herself, I don't know who these children look like. No matter how big the matter is, they won't delay eating.
She quickly picked up her chopsticks, otherwise the children would drool.
Yang Chengchen picked up half of his favorite beef patty, took a bite, and then drank a mouthful of seafood porridge. The feeling was indescribable.
Even though Yang Chengchen had something stuffed in his mouth, it didn't affect his flattery: "Breakfast at my aunt's house is still more delicious."
"You talk as if you rarely get to eat it!" Zhao Houyang attacked Yang Chengchen mercilessly. This guy's flattery skills are getting better and better, and he is almost omnipresent.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen in front of her. When they met, they were like two newbie chickens, insisting on pecking each other, which was very childish.
She didn't want the two of them to spit on the food on the table, so she had to come out to smooth things over: "It's delicious, eat more."
In this warm atmosphere, breakfast was quickly finished. Only then did Yang Chengchen speak about the purpose of his visit.
"Aunt, the Queen Mother asked me to tell you that you should also go and see the final selection of this year's concubines."
Zhao Lingmeng was full at this time and was not as smart as usual. The key point was that she did not think about her daughter-in-law. In her mind, her son was still a primary school student and there was no need for him to get married.
"Ah? The final selection of beauties, what should I do?" Zhao Lingmeng was really surprised.
Yang Chengchen touched his forehead, feeling a little helpless. He knew his aunt didn't have that kind of nerve: "Aunt, not to mention the two cousins, even my cousin can be engaged. Although you don't want the two cousins to get married early, the candidates must be decided.
Otherwise, by then all the girls of suitable age will have been picked, and the ones left will be all ugly and inferior."
"Mom, I have a crush on someone. Why don't you arrange a marriage for me?" Zhao Houyang spoke quickly upon seeing this, otherwise what would happen if his mother arranged a marriage for him casually!
"Ah?" This was the reaction of everyone present.
Yang Chengchen's reaction was the biggest. Besides being surprised, he was also worried that his cousin had been deceived. "No, you hang out with me every day, how can you have time to meet someone you like?"
Zhao Lingmeng, Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houyang also stared at him curiously, waiting for him to say what would happen next.
Zhao Houyang touched his nose. He felt a little embarrassed that his mother and brothers were staring at him like that.
But he still spoke despite the curious gazes of several people, "I met her once or twice occasionally. She was the first wife of Yuan Zheyuan, the Minister of Rites. But she didn't see me. I saw her and liked her, so I sent people to ask about her."
Although Zhao Houyang wanted to rekindle his relationship with his wife from his previous life, he was also afraid of ruining her reputation, so he quickly took all the responsibility on himself.
This was the result of Zhao Houyang's careful consideration. After all, in his previous life, his wife had always been loyal to him. He was full of resentment and had no ambition, yet his wife had given him her dowry to spend. He was considered prosperous in this life, and he couldn't just change his wife as soon as he became rich! Could it be that such a good wife was only worthy of suffering with him?
In Zhao Houyang's heart, no matter how good others are, he already has a wife! It has nothing to do with him. Those people who are so good never fell in love with him in their previous life.
"A Deputy Minister of Rites, fifth rank, do you want her to be your legal wife?" Yang Chengchen was stunned. He felt that being a concubine to his cousin was more like being a concubine, but being a legal wife was too low a status.
Yang Chengchen thought that if there were people who were blind enough to plot against his silly cousin, he would definitely make them regret coming into this world.
"Of course she is the main wife. I won't take concubines. Too many women will cause trouble." After Zhao Houyang finished speaking, he looked at his mother eagerly. His wife's status in his previous life was a bit low, and he was afraid that his mother would not agree.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houyang like this, and she didn't have the same thoughts as other people who wanted to be mothers-in-law. After all, she wasn't going to live with her, so as long as the children were happy, that was enough. She just felt that the children were still a little young.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houyang like this, and she didn't think about breaking up the couple. Besides, Zhao Houyang had always been a child with his own ideas.
When Zhao Houyang heard his mother ask this, he knew there was a chance, and nodded firmly.
Zhao Lingmeng felt a little magical at this moment. Such a little kid already has someone he likes?
"I don't have any objections, but mother is going to send someone to check on her family affairs and see if she's engaged or has a significant other. If she's engaged or has a significant other, you're not allowed to mess with me. And as for her family affairs, if she's on the same side, you understand, right?"
Although Zhao Lingmeng would not forcibly break up a couple, he still had to make it clear what needed to be said. In this era, there was a criminal law that could kill nine generations of a family, so family traditions were also very important.
"Okay!" Zhao Houyang didn't argue. If there really was a problem at home, he would help fix it if he could. If he couldn't, then it meant they were not meant to be together.
Maybe she has a crush on someone, and it must be destiny! He won't be so arrogant as to think that he is the perfect match.
Yang Chengchen didn't expect that his aunt would agree. He looked at his aunt and then at Zhao Houyang, feeling it was unbelievable.
Zhao Ling dreamed that the third son was taken, so he turned his attention to his two eldest sons.
"What about you two? Do you have someone in mind or anything?"
Zhao Houjing had indeed not had any contact with anyone in recent years and said directly: "It's all arranged by my mother."
Zhao Houming simply didn't want to get married. He didn't want to move out of the princess's mansion. He had been avoiding these girls from Yuanjing over the years.
"Mom, I don't want to get married yet."
As soon as Zhao Houming said this, Zhao Lingmeng knew what her second son meant. She patiently explained, "I'm not asking you to get married now. Let's get engaged first! Wait until your eldest brother is sixteen and gets married. You can wait until you are seventeen to get married. As long as Zhao Houyang is not in a hurry."
Zhao Lingmeng planned to choose girls who were one or two years older than the brothers Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming, so that when they got married, the girls would be around eighteen years old.
After listening to his mother's explanation, Zhao Houming was still a little reluctant, but he also knew that since his mother asked, they must choose their wives together.
"Then just listen to your mother!" Zhao Houming replied dejectedly.
"So what do you two like?"
When Zhao Lingmeng said this, Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming's faces flushed. How could you ask such a question? Even Yang Chengchen, who was watching the excitement nearby, blushed.
