Chapter 505 Zhao Lingmeng's Pre-Marriage Warning to Her Son
Zhao Lingmeng said jokingly, "It's okay for you to come back and stay occasionally, but you don't have to stay permanently. You three have been making so much noise over the years. Now that you three have finally grown up, let your dad and I be quiet for a few years!"
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng didn’t care whether they came back to live with her or not. Once they experienced the joy of living with her, even if they wanted to come back, their wives would not be willing to come back.
Of course, this does not apply to those who like power.
Zhao Houming knew his mother didn't want to see his eldest brother do something stupid. Anyway, since he would come back often, his mother would definitely not say anything. He quickly agreed: "Okay, Mom and Dad can just have a good time for a few years, that world of two people that Mom talked about before."
"It's good that you three know this, but you are the ones who make the decisions. You can't bully your wife. You must discuss anything with her.
Before you have a legitimate child, don't bring any inappropriate things into the house. Do you understand what I mean?"
It's not that Zhao Lingmeng doesn't want her sons to be single for life, but they grew up in this environment. Even if they were willing, their wives probably wouldn't agree.
In this era, being accused of being unvirtuous or jealous is a serious matter. The reputation of the entire family of a girl might even be affected.
Moreover, in this era, there is a strong idea that having many children brings good fortune. If there is only one wife, she may have to give birth to more than one child.
Having a child in this era is like stepping into the gates of hell.
In Zhao Lingmeng's opinion, life is more important than anything else. If one were to lose his life for the so-called lifelong love, it would be totally unworthy.
So, that was all she could do for them. As for the rest, her attitude was clear. How far they could go depended on their own choices.
Zhao Houming always listened to his mother. When he heard her say that, he quickly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, mother. I can't finish reading all the books in the Hanlin Academy. How can I have time for those trivial things?"
"I'm still a scholar, how can I have time for those things? I don't have money to support you, so don't worry, mother!" Fan Houyang only had one wife in his previous life (mainly because no one liked him even if he had one), so he looked down on those people in this life.
Zhao Houjing could only glare at these two guys who had no vision. By doing this, weren't they trapping him here?
He could only play a trick, "The son also listens to his mother."
His mother only said that he couldn't have other children before he had legitimate children, but she didn't say he couldn't have any children forever. He was still willing to cultivate his relationship with his first wife for a few years.
Zhao Lingmeng nodded happily, "You are all great!"
She could see Zhao Houjing's little tricks, but she thought about Miss Cheng's straightforward personality. Anyway, if Miss Cheng didn't agree, Zhao Houjing would be asking for a beating if he had any more ideas.
Since Zhao Houjing and the other two knew they were getting married, they began to inventory their private treasury. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs would provide a portion of the betrothal gifts and their mother would also provide a portion, any additional funds would have to be added by themselves.
Zhao Houjing wanted to add a little more. After all, he felt that he was the eldest brother, but his achievements were not as high as his second brother's, and his future title would not be as high as his third brother's. He wanted to make the betrothal gift look good.
Fan Houyang only planned to add one or two ordinary things. After all, given his future wife's personality, he was afraid that she would be given an advantage by bad guys.
Anyway, when his wife gets married, he will give it to her privately, and they will live a good life together in the future.
Zhao Houming was also prepared to add a few more pieces. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the money his mother gave him were not small. Too much would not conform to his principle of keeping a low profile.
After all, he hadn't made any political achievements yet, so he didn't want to be so high-profile and just live a normal life. He also meant to give her the money after they got married.
Anyway, if people of the same class have it, his wife will have it too.
Although the three of them had different goals in inventorying their private vaults, they were all preparing for the move, and were even planning to move their private vaults there in advance so that when they moved, they would not be so conspicuous.
Otherwise, if the wife's dowry is moved together, it will be a bit conspicuous.
Since Zhao Houjing and the other two were busy, time passed quickly.
But for Zhao Lingmeng, time passed too quickly. Even with Fan Yong's help, she was still very busy.
After all, all three sons were going to get married in a short time. In order to show fairness, she bought new wedding supplies for everyone, and the styles were different so that they looked new.
Even though Zhao Lingmeng thought she was in good health, she couldn't hold on any longer.
Fortunately, time soon arrived for Zhao Houjing's wedding day.
Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong got up early to prepare. They both wore green and red dresses, which made them look noble and festive without stealing the limelight from the newlyweds.
Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong packed up and came out. Qiuyue and the others saluted with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"You're making it seem like my husband and I are getting married today!" Zhao Lingmeng often jokes with the people close to her, so when she starts joking, Qiuyue and the others don't feel restrained either.
Dong Yuan even smiled and replied, "Your Highness, just say you are happy today?"
"Of course I'm happy."
After all this time, her son was finally getting married. How could Zhao Lingmeng not be happy? Especially since Zhao Houjing, that annoying guy, would be taken care of by others from now on. She could only cheer for her daughter-in-law.
"I'm very happy too!"
Fan Yong also smiled and echoed Zhao Lingmeng's words, but in his heart he was also truly happy. His children were married and moving out, and he was the only one left in His Highness's presence. He was happier than anyone else.
"Just keep an eye on it today, and I'll give you some wedding money. Let everyone share in the good fortune."
Zhao Lingmeng has always been very generous at times like this.
When Chunshui and the others heard His Highness say this, they were so happy that wrinkles appeared on their faces.
Qiuyue also responded excitedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will make sure that the eldest young master's wedding banquet is a smooth one."
"Yes!" Chunshui and the others were also very excited, and they looked like they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Zhao Lingmeng nodded with satisfaction, then took Fan Yong's arm and walked outside.
Qiuyue and the others immediately followed behind the two of them, looking at the backs of His Highness and the Prince Consort.
They all sighed in their hearts, how time flies! Fortunately, their lives in the Princess's Mansion are getting better and better.
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong only went to the ancestral hall hand in hand, and then solemnly offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
Zhao Houjing bid farewell to Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong, and then took Zhao Houming and Fan Houyang to welcome the bride.
Of course, there were more than just Zhao Houming and Fan Houyang on the groom's side. Zhao Houjing also invited some of his good friends and some relatives who liked lively occasions. The huge group of people went straight to the General Chengguo's Mansion.
