Chang Pingbo frowned, although Shi Changhou was a popular person in front of the emperor.
But in terms of background, they are not as good as those aristocratic families such as Zhen Guogong and Minister of War!
Moreover, the Duke of Zhen and the Minister of War are both powerful in the army. With the help of such father-in-law, he can become a first-class general in the future.
"Tingxuan, now you are a third-grade general, the most trusted person by the emperor. The emperor obviously wants to reuse you. When you marry, you should marry a daughter-in-law who is helpful to you, so that you can go further in the future. Just now Zhenzhen Both the Duke of the State and the Minister of War have the intention..."
Lin Tingxuan interrupted him: "Dad, I have invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. I am just telling you."
Chang Pingbo became angry after hearing this: "What do you mean by this? Marriage matters have always been the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers since ancient times! I don't agree with this marriage!"
"I don't need your consent! You have never interfered with my affairs since I was a child, and now I don't need you to interfere with my affairs. I have already mentioned this marriage to Marquis Shichang. He has also agreed. If you don't want to If you offend Princess Hui'an and King Jin, then you don't agree! Also, even if you don't agree, I won't agree to another marriage for me. The worst I can do is go to the border and never come back!"
Lin Tingxuan left these words.
Uncle Chang Ping was so angry that his blood pressure soared: "What a traitor!"
Mrs. Chang Pingbo hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, that kid Tingxuan has had his own opinions since he was a child. Why are you angry with him?"
Mrs. Chang Pingbo comforted him on the surface and put on some small shoes for Lin Tingxuan, but in her heart she was thinking about how to ruin the marriage.
Uncle Chang Ping had a headache when he thought that Lin Tingxuan had indeed been against him since he was a child!
Why don't you know how to seize the opportunity and marry those top aristocratic families
Shichanghou Mansion? It's not like he looked down on girls from the Shichang Hou family who came from a poor family.
It would be fine if she married Princess Hui'an who was so good at making meritorious deeds.
The other girls have never heard of it! Then she is a village girl!
And how can a newly promoted marquis compare with the connections he has with the Duke of Zhenguo, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households who have been in the family for more than a hundred years! ! !
Tan Shiwan was thinking: The second girl of Shichanghou Mansion? A beautiful face appeared in her mind.
She has a good appearance. She is a very quiet girl who talks little and is a bit dull.
Among the girls in the Shichang Hou Mansion, there is only one Princess Hui'an who often appears in the public eye and tries her best to stand out.
After all, the other girls were from lowly backgrounds and felt a little ashamed of themselves, so they rarely went out.
After all, not everyone is as shameless as Princess Hui'an, who always tries her best to steal the spotlight.
However, as long as she thinks about Lin Tingxuan marrying a woman who is more beautiful than herself and insulting her in front of her every day, she feels uncomfortable!
This marriage must not succeed, otherwise Lin Tingxuan will now be the heir apparent of the uncle's house, and her husband-in-law will have nothing in the future!
Lin Tingxuan can only marry that ugly guy Tan Yingyue!
The old lady advised: "Well, getting married is a lifelong matter. Tingxuan is a capable man. Now that he has just become a third-grade general, he will immediately marry a woman from a high family. What should I do if the emperor is suspicious? Marquis Shichang Although he is a new rich man with insufficient background in the capital, his family status is higher than ours! The emperor also attaches great importance to Shichanghou's family. I think this marriage is quite good. So let Tingxuan marry whoever he likes! You are the father Don’t worry too much about it. Otherwise, the relationship between father and son will be worse! What do you think is more important than unity as a family? "
After hearing this, Uncle Chang Ping suddenly realized, yes, the situation in the DPRK and China is quite delicate now. It would be bad if Tingxuan married a high-ranking man and the emperor became suspicious.
Forget it, for the sake of the father-son relationship, just go with his wishes!
"That brat, let him be! We will visit Marquis Shichang tomorrow to discuss the marriage!" Uncle Changping said to Mrs. Changping.
"Okay." Mrs. Chang Pingbo responded absently.
Lin Tingxuan returned to his small courtyard with a cold face.
The Nalan Kingdom ruled the world with filial piety. If his biological father hadn't been there, he would have really wanted to do like Ning Huaijie and send a matchmaker to his door to make a betrothal.
He returned to the house and found that a box of snacks had been eaten by two people!
He glared at the two of them coldly: "Carry fifty kilograms and run ten times around the capital!"
Two people: "......"
How big is the capital? I can’t even finish ten laps without breaking my legs!
Why is the general becoming more and more cruel

the next morning
Uncle Changping and Mrs. Changping gathered their generous gifts and prepared to go to Shichanghou Mansion to discuss the marriage.
As a matter of fact, no matter what happened, he, the father, had to come to the door in person to be sincere.
Of course, Uncle Chang Ping did this because he didn’t attach too much importance to this marriage! In fact, he was not satisfied at all!
There are obviously choices such as the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Minister of War, but he has no choice but to choose one with no foundation!
But he just wants to ease the relationship between father and son!
The gifts prepared by Mrs. Chang Pingbo include two pieces of fine brocade, a pair of amphorae, a box of snacks, and some seasonal fruits.
From this point of view, these gifts can be considered affordable.
Uncle Changping took one look at the gift and nodded with satisfaction: "Where is Tingxuan? Isn't he back yet?! It's time to go!"
What was that boy doing out so early in the morning
When discussing marriage, it is better to discuss it sooner rather than later. The earlier the better, which means your life will be prosperous!
Lin Tingxuan happened to come in from outside at this time. Last night, Uncle Chang Ping told him that he would be visiting Changhou Mansion today. He went back to the yard he bought outside early in the morning to prepare gifts.
"I'm back." Lin Tingxuan glanced at the gifts.
He walked over: "The peach blossoms have just bloomed at this time, and there are already such beautiful peaches?!"
He reached for the peach.
Mrs. Chang Pingbo immediately stopped him when she saw this: "Tingxuan, what are you doing? We are about to leave! It's not good to be late! People will say we are rude."
After hearing this, Lin Tingxuan retracted his hand and smiled: "That's right! Let's go then!"
Mrs. Changpingbo breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Tingxuan turned around and walked out. Unexpectedly, his sleeve accidentally caught the fruit basket, and the whole basket of fruits fell to the ground.
Those bright fruits rolled all over the floor!
Uncle Chang Ping frowned: "Tingxuan, why are you so careless! The fruit was damaged when it fell on the ground. How can you deliver it..."
At this point, he couldn't talk any more!
Because he saw a rotten fruit on the ground!
Lin Tingxuan bent down and picked up a peach with a big rotten dot on the ground: "Giving this fruit to someone else, are you sure it is to discuss marriage, not to make a grudge?"
Chang Ping Bo: "... ... ..."
"What's going on? Why did you accidentally take a basket of rotten fruits!?" Mrs. Chang Pingbo said angrily!
The maid immediately said: "Ah! I accidentally took the wrong one! Madam, please forgive me!"
Lin Tingxuan smiled and walked towards the two pieces of cloth that were well packaged. He reached out to open the package and wanted to take a look.
Mrs. Chang Pingbo's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Tingxuan, what do you want to do?"
"Let me see if this fabric is like fruit, shiny on the surface but rotten on the inside!" Lin Tingxuan said with a half-smile.
