The Sheng family was originally from a merchant family, and in the social environment at that time, it was considered to be the lowest status group. Although later because Sheng Shao and his father were both promoted to the status of their branch, Sheng Shao's father died early, and Sheng Shao himself did not mix much mingtang, just a small general judgment in Yangzhou City, then, when Yuan Jiagui was the Earl's Palace, what did he really look up to the Sheng family?
The Yuan family had been snubbed, and the one who asked to marry was not the eldest son
The beginning of the play actually made a certain supplement to the background of the Yuan family, through the mouth of the big lady, we know that although the Yuan family is said to be the earl's palace in Tokyo, it has been snubbed, coupled with the chaos stirred up in Tokyo at that time in order to establish the heir, listening to the meaning of their words, the Yuan family should be neutral, or unable to stand in line to a certain camp of the imperial heir.
Even if such a family still has the title of knighthood, it is actually afraid that it does not have much real power. Among the clan relatives and nobles, there are also many exchanges between women, and what kind of person the head mother of the Yuan family is, presumably many people also have a number in their hearts.
Yuan Wenchun, the eldest son of yuan, has long been married, and it is yuan wenshao, the second son of yuan, who has no chance of inheriting the title, yuan Wenshao can still seek merit if he has a career, if not, then he will be mediocre for a lifetime, second, the Yuan family has a mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law who is not easy to get along with, third, the Yuan family has been snubbed, and fourth, the royal heirs cannot tolerate them in the team.
For this reason, the family of the same level or higher level in Tokyo City may not be willing to marry their Yuan family, looking at Tokyo City, even if the marriage has the intention of long-term wealth and nobility of the family, but the daughter can marry a good family is also their need, it is obvious that no rich nobleman is willing to marry his daughter to such a family to suffer.
Moreover, in the family that appears in the play, the children of the noble family who are suitable for Yuan Wenshao's age are afraid that there are not many. To this end, the Yuan family could only retreat to the second place and go to the family with a lower portal to find it.
Although the Sheng family's court is low, there are two strong in-laws
As mentioned above, the Sheng family court is very low, we know that Sheng Xuan's family moved to Tokyo Prefecture, Minglan they have grown up, so many years, Sheng Xuan has only mixed with the name of a five-pin petty official, even he himself knows that he can three pins of honorary rest is very good, it can be seen how low his official position in Yangzhou at that time.
But the old lady of the Sheng family has a powerful mother's family, although it does not appear in the play, but only by some bystanders' work, you can also see the old lady's mother's family..
Old Lady Sheng's mother's family is the Yongyi Marquis, when the old lady was young, she lived in the imperial palace for a long time, and the empress could be hooked up, and the Wu Lady of the Liang Family, the County Lord Of the Qi Family, had great respect for the old lady, and it is conceivable that the status of the old lady's mother's family in Tokyo City is only afraid that it is not worse than the imperial heir.
Hua Lan is the child brought up by the old lady herself, and her character insight and family management ability are first-class.
Moreover, Hua Lan himself also has a maternal family that is very powerful and powerful, the maternal grandmother is the Lady of the Commandment, and the maternal grandfather is a high-ranking official of the Xiangtai Temple, so it is related to this in-law.
The Yuan family's son, who has no official and no title, and has no chance of inheritance, does not suffer such in-laws, on the contrary, it also earns.
In fact, Hua Lan arrived at the Yuan family, and at the behest of the Yuan family's eldest daughter-in-law, she not only kept the Yuan family in good order, but also earned a lot of good reputation for running the family.
The Sheng family is a scholar, and the Yuan family is a general official
At that time, what prevailed was to emphasize literature and light martial arts, and the military generals were inferior to the civilian officials in front of the civilian officials, and in the subconscious, the Sheng family was a scholarly family, while the Yuan family was born as a military general.
There is a scene in the play that mentions that even the Gu family's court is eager to marry Shuxiang Mendi and wash away the reputation of the family's "Bing Luzi", and the Yuan family is naturally the same.
Moreover, according to the performance in the play, the Sheng family as a civilian official, although the official is small, but should have a certain reputation, moreover, Sheng Shao is still young, and backed by the Wang family and the old lady's family two major families, in the eyes of outsiders, Sheng Shao has a lot of room for promotion.
Marrying the Sheng family, on the one hand, can get rid of some of the bad reputation of "Bing Luzi", on the other hand, the Sheng family can expect the future, then this family affair, for the Yuan family, is not a loss.
Facts have proved that the Yuan family's vision is quite good, and they can agree to marry the Sheng family, and the Sheng family will indeed put themselves in a "open and hanging" position in the future by virtue of the in-laws of their children.
Although the Sheng family is a scholar and a famous family, in fact, what really goes far depends on the strength of in-laws.
First, the old lady of the Sheng family married the old lady of the Sheng family, and wang Ruofu, the daughter of the Wang family, married to the Sheng family as a daughter-in-law, followed by the eldest daughter of the Sheng family who married to the earl's palace as the eldest daughter of the second house, and then the two sons of the Sheng family married to the noble daughter of the high gate, three young daughters, two of whom were married to the marquis's palace and the earl's palace, and the other married to the new branch jinshi.
It's a whole family that's open and hanging.
