Chapter 290 Doting on a Concubine and Destroying a Wife in a Wife 38

Lin Hui chose Zhang Tingyu, Lord Zhang's second daughter, as the prime minister of Yue Xing.

Although Zhang Tingyu is currently just a bachelor of the Imperial Academy and his rank is not high, Lin Hui knows that in the next few decades, Zhang Tingyu will be highly valued in the court and will always remain standing. "Wenhe" deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.

Zhang Tingyu was the only civil servant in this dynasty who was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and also the only Han official who was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Zhang Tingyu's father, Zhang Yingguan, was a bachelor, and Zhang Tingyu's brothers were all successful in studies and served as officials. The Zhang family was considered one of the most prominent Han official families in the court. However, the Zhang family was low-key and simple by nature, so their reputation was not obvious and they were not changed. Many people noticed.

Finding such a Yue family for Yue Xing'a is also because he intends to develop his career, and the Zhang family's tutoring is excellent. Their children are all studying and making progress, and even their daughter's upbringing is not slack.

Lin Hui once met the second girl of the Zhang family, and she had a very good impression. She was cheerful and generous, but she was also well-educated and reasonable. She and Yue Xing'a's temperaments should be compatible, and they would get along well as husband and wife in the future.

It was the [-]st year of Kangxi's reign. In March, Yue Xing'a took part in this year's examination. Coincidentally, Zhang Tingyu was one of the examiners of this year's examination, but he was not responsible for the place where Yue Xing'a was. One room.

On April [-]th, the examination results were released, and Yue Xing'a was listed on the list, ranking seventh. This ranking was not high, but it was not low either.

After the palace examination, Yue Xing'a's ranking was moved up two places, but he still failed to enter the first class. However, he didn't mind very much because he knew that these so-called rankings meant nothing and had nothing to do with his future future. What the future holds depends entirely on your own efforts.

Honghui went out to celebrate with Yue Xing'a. In recent years, because Yue Xing'a spent a lot of time studying at home, and Honghui had to go to the study every day, the two of them didn't have much time to get together.

But as the two boys grew up, they realized that they had similarities in temperament and ideas, and they became more compatible than when they were children.

Friendships in childhood are based on temporary preferences and can only be regarded as playmates. When they grow up, they show their true feelings and can still be friends.

The two young men were laughing and sitting opposite each other in a private room of the restaurant outside. While chatting, they couldn't help but mention their respective life events.

During the conversation, both of them couldn't stand the quarrels between wives and concubines in the backyard. In the forty-eighth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the fourth prince was named Prince Yong. As the eldest son of the prince, Honghui often saw those in Ama's backyard. A group of women acted like monsters. This was when Ama was usually serious and polite. If Ama had been more easy-going, those women would have been even more arrogant.

Especially Nian Fujin, who newly entered the house this year, is about the same age as him. As soon as he entered the house, he was quite favored by Amma, which made E Ni unhappy.

In fact, Honghui had misunderstood. The reason for his depression was not because of the so-called Nian Fujin. If she had been sad because of those women in the backyard, she would have died of grief long ago, and she would not be able to live in the world.

Si Fujin was worried about Honghui's marriage. Lin Hui was already interested in a girl from the Zhang family because of Yue Xing Axiang. How could Si Fujin not think about Honghui?

It's just that Honghui is the grandson of the emperor, so he should be cautious about marriage. In the past two years, the fourth prince was promoted to prince, and his status was raised again, making it even harder to find him.

Just when Sifujin was at a loss for Honghui's marriage, Lin Hui had already asked a matchmaker to go to the Zhang family to propose marriage.

Of course, before this, Yue Xing'a had already visited the Zhang family several times under the orders of his mother and in the name of asking for advice. He was already familiar with Zhang Tingyu and several of his sons, and had also met Mr. Zhang's second daughter. Miss Zhang Er.

The eldest daughter of the Zhang family was born as a concubine and married back to Master Zhang Tingyu's mother's family, the Yao family, which is far away in Tongcheng. According to Master Zhang's intention, he wanted to marry his second daughter back to the Yao family, which also meant to support his mother's family.

The second girl is a legitimate daughter, and Mrs. Zhang is reluctant to let her daughter marry back to her hometown. Her husband and sons are in the capital and will not return to her hometown for several years. If her daughter marries back, wouldn't it mean that she will not be able to see each other all year round.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang is also worried about her daughter's marriage.

The Zhang family's family background was not high and they didn't want their daughter to marry high and suffer the consequences. However, the Zhang family girl had also read poetry and books since she was a child and went to school with her brothers. If she really married low and endured hardship and hardship, she would really be reluctant to let go.

At this time, Lin Hui asked someone to come to the door to inquire about her girl. Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard that it was Yue Xing'a who came to inquire about her girl.

She had met this young master of the Tong family. Not only was he extraordinary in appearance, but he was also elegant in conversation and modest and prudent. His own master praised him as a rare talent. More importantly, he came from a noble family, but he was not arrogant at all. The calluses on his hands for practicing riding and shooting are as thick as those for practicing calligraphy. He is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

Mrs. Zhang has already agreed to half of it, and the other half can't be decided until the master comes back.

When Zhang Tingyu returned home and heard what his wife said, he was speechless for a moment.

He held the tea and meditated for a long time without saying a word. He did not drink the last sip of tea and put it back on the table. Zhang Tingyu could not give his wife a reply until he fell asleep at night.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang heard her master order: "If the Tong family invites someone to come to their door, just accept it."

Mrs. Zhang was very happy when she heard that the master had agreed to the marriage.

Although she is also the daughter of the Yao family, she does not want her daughter to marry back to your natal family. She knows very well what kind of life the women of the Yao family live.

The men of the Yao family are all unwilling to make progress in their studies, but they all pretend to be scholars. As their wives, they not only have to be knowledgeable and sensible, but also have to work hard at housework and work non-stop every day.

She didn't want her daughter to live like this.

Although Mrs. Zhang has never had a close relationship with the third wife of the Tong family, she has often heard of her. It is said that she is very popular with the Queen Mother and several nobles in the palace, and will be summoned to the palace for interviews every two months. .

This Madam Tong also had a close friendship with the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince Fujin, to the point where she was able to put aside her family status and interact with them alone.

Moreover, this Mrs. Tong has quietly done a lot of good deeds. She has long-term funded Puji Hall and Infant Care Center, giving those poor people a way to survive. However, this matter has not been widely publicized. Not many people know about it, and neither does Mrs. Zhang. Learned by accident.

She felt that a person who could be kind to these unrelated lonely people would probably not do evil things like treating her daughter-in-law harshly. She felt that if her daughter could have such a mother-in-law, she would feel more at ease.

In this way, Lin Hui and the Zhang family reached a tacit agreement and prepared to ask someone to come to propose marriage.

She must report this matter to Tong Guowei in advance and get his permission.

After hearing this, the old man thought about it for a while, then sighed heavily and said, "Go ahead and be more polite. The Zhang family is from Hui Province, and the rules are different from those in Beijing. Don't lose your etiquette."

Lin Hui then responded and stepped back.

Because he wanted to reply, he stood very close to the old man and could clearly see the age spots on his face and hands. He was now unable to walk and could not live without a crutch. When Lin Hui lowered her head, she saw him The hand holding the crutch couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It seemed that the old man's health was really bad and he couldn't even sit properly, let alone walk.
