The Shen family has always been prominent and has a high status. Who doesn't know that Uncle Shen Guo is a relative of the royal family and is highly respected. But who would have expected that this powerful dignitary would be struggling and difficult in the seemingly trivial matter of choosing a son-in-law for his eldest son. What is the reason why Uncle Shen Guo has repeatedly hit a wall in this family matter? Is it just because of the special identity of the mother-in-law, or is there some unknown insider story hidden? What kind of far-reaching impact will the root of all this have on the Shen family? Let's take our time.
Uncle Shen's grand plan
Who doesn't know that Uncle Shen Guo is the relative of the prince who is wandering beside the horse. His surname is Sun, and he is the great-grandson of Sun Shizi, whose ancestors were crowned marquis for his great military exploits. By the time he was alive, his family had become so prominent that the daughters of princes and nobles could often be proud of him. Uncle Shen Guo had three sons and one daughter, the eldest daughter died early, the second son died early, and only the eldest son and the youngest son survived.
As the head of the family, Uncle Shen Guo especially doted on the two younger children. He secretly planned to pass on all the family business and titles to his eldest son. Although the eldest son has mediocre qualifications, he is a descendant and has a vital position. Although the child is talented, he was not born to his mother, and he will eventually be unvalued. For this reason, Uncle Shen tried his best to find an excellent in-law for his eldest son, so that he could get a powerful and prominent marriage and magnify the Shen family.
But who would have expected that Uncle Shen Guo had repeatedly hit a wall in choosing a son-in-law for his eldest son, and he was also struggling step by step. The daughters of many princes and nobles have avoided it. Even the daughters of several well-connected families in the clan were unwilling to marry into this seemingly illustrious family. What is the reason why Uncle Shen's ambition is so difficult to realize?
Daughter-in-law picks frustrations on the way
Who would have thought that Uncle Shen, who was in power for a while, would also repeatedly hit a wall and struggle step by step in the seemingly trivial matter of choosing a son-in-law for his eldest son.
First of all, Uncle Shen served those princes and nobles, but they were all treated with white eyes, and none of them were willing to marry into this prominent family. Until one day, Uncle Shen learned that the distant Zheng family had the eldest daughter Ling Ruochun, who was a beautiful woman with a fragrant nature. So he asked someone to go to the head of the line, and wanted to hire the daughter of the Zheng family as his daughter-in-law. Who knew that the Zheng family also shook their heads and refused to allow it, and politely excused themselves.
Why? Later, after Mrs. Zheng explained them one by one, she realized that there were too many special features in the Shen family. First, the daughter of the Ying Gong occupies the position of the mother-in-law, and the Xiao Zou family is a concubine, which accounts for the affection of the aunt. If so, if the daughter of the Zheng family marries the Shen Mansion, how should she face the division between this lady and his aunt? After all, the daughter of the Zheng family has an extraordinary background, and it is difficult to tolerate being angry and humiliated.
Moreover, the Shen family was discordant in the early years, with constant infighting, men may not be filial, women may not be harmonious, and brothers are constantly fighting in the wall. For example, Uncle Shen's main room, Zhang's family, his dignified wife has been bullied countless times, and even gave birth to almost died at the hands of the concubine. Mrs. Zheng knew that the Shen family was in such a chaotic situation, and if her daughter was rich, she would inevitably be wronged for no reason, so she had no choice but to refuse.
This incident made Uncle Shen quite confused, and he didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until later that I learned that his son had been studying in the palace all the year round, and he had also formed a bond with the prince. Once, the eldest son of the Shen family was open-mouthed, claiming that his mother Xiao Zou died in order to save the queen. As soon as these words came out, the prince was annoyed in an instant, and he was scolded by the emperor severely.
Since then, even the prince has stayed away from the Shen family, not to mention other nobles. Uncle Shen suddenly woke up to the fact that the root cause of Xiao Zou's family had been around for a long time, and it was like the Zhang family's difficult birth, which involved a terrifying palace secret. With such a person in the family in turmoil, how can it be expected that the noble daughter of the clan will marry into the Shen Gate? The choice of daughter-in-law is really difficult!
A man-made disaster made Uncle Shen Guo wake up
Who would have thought that the root of all this would start with a shocking inside story of the royal family.
It turned out that as early as a few years ago, when the queen was in distress when she was about to give birth, a miscarriage was imminent. At that time, the ministers of civil and military affairs of the government and the opposition were all anxiously waiting in the palace. Uncle Shen's sister-in-law, Zou, is also the queen's aunt's wife, and she is determined to escort and rescue the driver. So she studied hard and finally found a secret recipe that might save the queen. But the key to this prescription is a precious medicinal material, and the whole capital only has it in its own homeland.
The Zou family, who was generous and righteous to save the emperor's life, was desperate to dig up this precious medicinal material to save it. Sure enough, as soon as the queen gave birth to a dragon fetus, she was spared death. Since then, the emperor has been grateful to her and has given her great grace and preferential treatment. But who would have expected that this saving herb was actually an offering in the flower garden of relatives with the same surname, which can be called a great sin of human and divine anger!
Later, Zhang's dystocia and miscarriage were coming. She begged Zou for help and wanted to borrow medicine from this aunt's wife. Unexpectedly, the Zou family made things difficult for the Zhang family in every way, and even stabbed the old matter of dystocia into the ears of the royal family. The emperor was furious and strictly ordered the Zhang family to be dismissed and demoted, and he was spared death. It was also since then that the emperor and the prince were no longer very merciless towards the Shen family.
Uncle Shen was short-sighted, and only felt that it was the Zhang family who made some mistake that angered the royal family. It wasn't until he heard that his son was open to the prince in the palace, hyped up the Zou family's rescue of the emperor, and accused the prince of being unkind and unfilial, that he suddenly realized that the Zou family's risky move of "saving the driver" was actually a desperate move to please the emperor! The conspiracy behind the "rescue" is the root cause of the heavy price paid by the whole family!
The final choice of weighing the pros and cons
Once she woke up to the reason why the Zou family saved the emperor, Uncle Shen Guo naturally couldn't open up to her anymore. He knew that this matter was very important, not only to damage his prestige and position in the court, but also to attract the estrangement and resentment of the royal family.
In order to maintain the honor and status of the family, and keep the prestigious title and family assets given by his ancestors, Uncle Shen had to make a painful choice. He weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally made up his mind to marry a royal relative of supreme origin for his son. Only in this way can we continue the incense of Shenmen and bring back a city.
As early as a few months ago, Gu Tingye had gossiped with Minglan and inadvertently mentioned the Shen family's origin and family background. At that time, he said that the reason why the Shen family was able to reach today's prominent status was entirely due to the great military exploits made by Sun Shizi back then. If the descendants of the Sun family do not act tricks, it will be difficult to continue after all with this great military exploits and prominent titles. Now Uncle Shen Guo sees that the last way out is to seek real personal support and shelter from the royal family.
So, he dared to ask to see the queen, and openly and honestly revealed the past and inside story of the Shen family being implicated by the Zou family, as well as the plight of the family who has fallen and the family is separated from morality. is even more groveling, asking the queen to marry the eldest princess into Shenmen with the grace of saving her life, so as to save this princely family that is about to collapse.
The queen was deeply sympathetic to this, so she advised the emperor to be old and sick, and granted grace to this marriage. Since then, the Shen family has been able to obtain the direct protection of the royal family because of the eldest princess's accession, and the eldest prince will succeed to the throne in the future, and he will definitely be able to treat Shen Men as his own. In this way, Uncle Shen Guo had to make such a difficult choice, which can be regarded as the best result after weighing the pros and cons. Otherwise, once the Shen family is broken, even innocent children and grandchildren will be implicated and suffer.
The royal marriage saved the Shenmen incense
In this way, Uncle Shen Guo struggled to marry his eldest son. The particularity and secrecy of this family affair can be imagined.
In order not to make the world feel incredible, both the royal family and the Shen Men strictly concealed the reason for this incident. On the surface, it is only said that it is a match of virtue, and they are right with each other. As for the reasons behind the scenes, they have never been revealed to outsiders. The royal side also hinted at the foreign ministers' civil and military affairs, and they must not ask the reason. The world only sees the royal favor and the joy of Shenmen, but they don't know what kind of secret inside story is hidden.
On the big day, the eldest princess married Shenmen with a lively and grand guard of honor. As the only princess of the royal family, her dowry is extremely rich. The honor guard lined up that day, and there were thousands of people marching mightily. Look at the majestic red mullion official pavilion, the golden and purple horses, and the national color and heavenly fragrance are served. Compared with the groom of the Shen Mansion who got married, he is indeed a virtuous man, and the lintel is not right.
When it came time to enter, the groom was also shy, self-ashamed, and looked at the eunuchs and eunuchs who were gathered around the eldest princess, all a little timid. It wasn't until the family affair was over that the eldest princess told him: "You can rest assured, I will do my best to inject new vitality into your Shenmen in the days to come." We must all think about future generations and pass on this incense. ＂
A good Shenmen incense can be said to hit the nail on the head. These words moved the groom in an instant, and he was immediately relieved. He knew that although he had the blessing of royal grace, if he was unable to govern his family without virtue, the incense would eventually be difficult to last. With the eldest princess, the virtuous new housewife, Shen Men can be regarded as regaining his prestige and radiating new vitality.
end
She will be filial in the future, diligent and thrifty, and strict in teaching her children. Under her protection, the entire Shenmen walked out of the haze step by step and regained its former glory. In this way, the royal family finally saved the Shen Men from the doom of family ruin, and made this illustrious no longer be a sin.
