Liu She listened quietly with a calm expression. It seemed that he had been mentally prepared for this situation.
"That's all right. What's next?"
"Based on my speculation, it's just a trick. For example, Master Liaochen will tell me that I can't get married in the next few years, or else I'll be killed. Or maybe I'll say that I don't want to waste Jinger's time and ask the Wei's to cancel the marriage. "
Jiang Pengji used the knowledge she had from the ancient times. It was the safest way.
In the ancient times, men could marry at a later age, but according to Dongqing's laws, if a woman did not marry at the age of 18, her family would have to pay double the tax. It was naturally impossible for the Wei Clan to not be able to pay such a tax, but their reputation would be too bad and it would be very embarrassing.
Liu Lanting could afford it, but Wei Jingxian could not.
Master Liaochen was a capable man, and he had a high reputation among the nobles in Hejian County. He was a monk, and he never lied. The superstitious and ignorant people of the ancient times would believe his words. After all, they believed in ghosts and gods.
Liu She listened carefully and said helplessly, "That's about it. There's not much of a discrepancy. But you have to know that I'm your father, and I won't guard against you. But what if someone knows about your ability and sets a trap for you? "
His daughter was smarter, more confident, and more conceited than he had imagined. Conceited people often suffered.
Jiang Pengji's eyes were bright, as if there were two clusters of fire burning in them.
"A one-sided suppression is too boring. Only an exchange of blows can make one's blood boil with excitement …"
Liu She was speechless. He did not expect Jiang Pengji to give him such an answer, but it was a reasonable one.
"What if one day I'm at a disadvantage?"
Jiang Pengji smiled. "I'm looking forward to it. I'll think about it for the rest of my life."
Liu She smiled bitterly. "I've always wondered why Master Liaochen was so sure that you would become a sovereign in the future. After all, most women in the world are weak and gentle. But now that I think about it, it's not impossible … "
His daughter was even more manly than a man. Her style was completely different from the rest of the family.
Jiang Pengji said, "It's better to spread the news of Master Liaochen's fortune-telling as soon as possible. I'm afraid that others will maliciously harm Jing 'er."
Liu She raised his eyelids, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was sure that the one who died that year was the second son of the first wife, he would have suspected that the one in front of him was the son based on what she had just said.
"You sure have tender feelings for the fairer sex."
She openly admitted, "Being protective of the fairer sex is a virtue, and Jing 'er deserves to be treated well."
In a situation where there was no conflict, she had a high tolerance for women, especially beautiful and outstanding women. She had a high tolerance for them.
Liu She was speechless.
It was a pity that he wasn't a son.
"If that's what you're thinking, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Liu She said coldly, "Madam Wei has other plans. Moreover, when a woman marries, her family background and her husband's appearance and talent are the most important criteria. As long as she doesn't marry into a lower class and humiliate her family, who cares about how she lives after marriage?"
There were too many aristocratic ladies who treated their husbands with respect as ice after they got married. The fresh and tender flowers gradually withered in the back of the house.
It was because of this that Liu She had the audacity to let the daughter of the first wife pretend to be the son of the first wife under the pleading of his late wife.
Even after so many years had passed, he still couldn't forget the scene of his wife holding their drowned son as she sat paralyzed by the pond in the courtyard. Her eyes were filled with desolation, as if she had lost her soul and had no attachment to this world. However, her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
How could she not hate?
Jiang Pengji frowned and asked in a low voice, "Which family does Madam Wei have her eyes on?"
Liu She asked in reply, "At today's gathering. Can you guess who it is?"
Let her guess?
Her guesses were all based on a certain amount of information. If she guessed based on such little information, it was very likely that she would be wrong. However, since Liu She had set the scope to that day's gathering … In an instant, all the Langjuns flashed through her mind one by one.
"Is it Wuma Jun."
After a while, Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows and said with certainty, "But he is not a good candidate."
Compared to Wuma Jun, it was better to choose Feng Jin. At least Feng Jin was a genuine genius. Not to mention other things, he was a true gentleman. Even if they could not be affectionate after marriage, he would definitely give his wife the respect and understanding she deserved.
At least such a man would not pretend that he did not see it and let other women bully his wife.
Wuma Jun was different. In other words, his heart was higher than the sky, but his life was fragile. Give Wei Jingxian to him?
Haha!
Liu She paused and said, "Wuma Jun is the fourth son of the emperor. Although he is not favored by the emperor, he is still a prince."
Jiang Pengji looked up lazily.
She said with contempt, "Two or three generations ago, didn't they raise horses for the previous dynasty and live in the stables?"
It was not that she liked ginseng and rooster or was prejudiced. She had flipped through Liu Lanting's memories. In this era where the aristocratic families were powerful, people valued bloodlines more than anything else. The Wuma royal family had the throne, but their shallow foundation had always been looked down upon by the gentry.
Just by looking at the situation in the emperor's harem, she could vaguely see some of it.
The crown prince, or the eldest prince, was the son of the empress. The empress was not from a prominent family, but was the second legitimate daughter of a newly ascended aristocratic family. When the emperor married her, he was still Prince Gongshun of Hejian County. In everyone's eyes, the marriage was a good match.
The second prince's mother was from a merchant family. In order to please Prince Gongshun, his parents sent her to the palace to be a servant.
She also worked hard. Using her pregnancy and gentleness, she slowly won over Prince Gongshun's heart and made him indulge in her gentleness. Taking advantage of the fact that the novelty had not passed, she desperately got pregnant. She was lucky enough to have a boy in one fell swoop and gave birth to the Second Prince.
She succeeded because of her son. When Prince Gongshun ascended to the throne, she became one of the three wives, Lady Hongde.
The third prince was not the crown prince, but he had the highest status among all the princes. His mother came from the Feng family.
The Feng family was one of the top families in Dongqing. It had been around for hundreds of years and was still standing. There were many talented people in the family.
Interestingly, although the third prince's mother came from the Feng family, she was not a direct descendant. She was the daughter of a concubine.
She was only a daughter of a concubine, but the current emperor had put in a lot of effort to bring her into the palace. He even gave her the position of Empress. He wanted to give the position of Empress to the daughter of the Feng family, but they looked down on the corrupt royal family and only respected them on the surface.
It was useless for the Wuma royal family to be angry. Instead, they had to appease the Feng family to prevent them from being dissatisfied.
These aristocratic families had deep roots in the Central Plains. No one knew how much power they could unleash after a thousand years.
As for the fourth prince, his background was more mysterious. There was not much news about him. It was said that he was from the Wang family of Langya.
However, no one believed it. Instead, they treated it as a joke.
The second prince's background was the lowest, so the emperor treated him as an abandoned son for a marriage alliance with the royal family of the Northern Borderline.
The Fourth Prince's situation was rather special, but an unfavored and feared prince still wanted to marry the daughter of the Wei family's direct line of descent?
