Chapter 155 Which woman is so unlucky
Bai Zhaozhao frowned: "After three years of infertility, you're going to divorce?"
Tang Yanyan explained: "Generally speaking, in this situation, it's fine to take in a few concubines and have children. Very few young men from wealthy families would divorce their first wives for this reason."
Bai Zhaozhao sneered. The inability to have children is not necessarily the woman's fault. Without good seeds, no matter how fertile the land is, crops will not grow.
I don’t know whether Chen Tianlin has a concubine. If neither his wife nor his concubine can give birth, you can figure out who has the problem with your toes.
But then again, generally wealthy families do not allow concubines to have children before the legitimate son is born, so it is difficult to tell the truth.
Bai Zhaozhao thought to herself, since the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has shown up again, she should be careful, as they probably won't provoke her easily.
Tang Yanyan started to complain: "That Chen Tianlin is such a scumbag. The Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is already in decline, and he wants to divorce his wife and marry another one. I don't know whose noble lady is so unlucky to be favored by him..."
Bai Zhaozhao noticed that Jiang Yuanmeng's expression was a little hard to describe at this moment, and asked doubtfully: "Is there really a noble lady willing to marry him?"
Jiang Yuanmeng nodded: "Yes."
Tang Yanyan was surprised and asked, "Who is so blind?"
Jiang Yuanmeng: "I don't know if they are blind or not, but there are indeed many people who are inquiring about it, because Chen Tianlin is really trusted by the Third Prince and has close contacts with the Xu family. He was praised by the emperor some time ago and his official position was raised by one level. For this reason, my concubine sister even went home to brag about it, saying that Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has a bright future.
Especially the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis's family, who is said to have rejected several young ladies, and even spread the word that she had already picked a noble lady for Chen Tianlin, but she was not satisfied with her yet and needed to be trained before she could marry her. "
Tang Yanyan was stunned: "You mean the old lady has chosen a candidate, but still needs to train him? My God, which woman is so unlucky?"
Jiang Yuanmeng waved his hand: "I don't know, anyway, it's not ours, let's wait and see."
Tang Yanyan nodded blankly: "That's right!"
Bai Zhaozhao started to think, does Chen Tianlin have too close a relationship with the Xu family?
What does this mean?
This means he may have a relationship with Cheng Jiayu!
Let her think about whether there is anything she has overlooked recently?
No? According to the timeline of the original novel, Yu Junqiu had already been sent away by her!
No, she can't just look at the timeline of the original work. After all, things are different now. Some plots have been moved forward. Yes, moved forward!
Now that Cheng Jiayu has failed in his attempt to join the Qin Party, he has already taken out the secret recipe for iron smelting and teamed up with the Xu family. He has even set Princess Changxing as his target two years in advance, so what he is going to do will definitely be done in advance!
It's iron!
He made the best iron tools!
Bai Zhaozhao recalled that in the original book, when Cheng Jiayu was refining ironware, he found a helper because he couldn't do it alone, but he didn't completely trust the Xu family. What's more, the emperor would not allow the Xu family to dominate the ironware business. So he found a loyal younger brother. After being praised by the emperor, both of them were promoted. The younger brother also introduced his sister to him, adding a touch of color to his fish pond.
Ironically, this little brother doesn't even have a name in the original book.
Now that I think about it, it should be Chen Tianlin, the prince of the declining marquisate, who is the most suitable person to support!
Bai Zhaozhao asked tentatively: "Miss Jiang, do you know why Chen Tianlin was praised by the emperor?"
Jiang Yuanmeng thought for a moment and said, "It seems like I just ran some errands for the emperor."
Running errands? That's OK?
It's confirmed! The emperor must have been unwilling to make this matter public, so he found a random reason to promote Chen Tianlin and let him continue to refine ironware.
The ministers in the court are not fools. The emperor's importance to him is so obvious that even if they don't know the details, they will make some guesses. Some of them even know the reason directly.
So it is normal that there are many people willing to marry Chen Tianlin.
But there is one thing that is very strange. The emperor was unwilling to let the Xu family participate, so why did he feel at ease with Chen Tianlin interacting with the Xu family?
Could it be that Cheng Jiayu was a double agent? She could both reassure the emperor and satisfy the Xu family?
Or maybe, the emperor wants to rely on the Xu family, but also wants to be on guard against the Xu family?
No matter what, Bai Zhaozhao is now very sure that Chen Tianlin is the younger brother developed by Cheng Jiayu, but she doesn’t know whether he will be 100% loyal like in the original book.
Jiang Yuanmeng saw that Bai Zhaozhao seemed to be thinking, so he did not disturb her and turned to talk about other topics with Tang Yanyan.
Suddenly, Bai Zhaozhao felt that someone was always looking at her. She turned around and saw an old man staring at her blatantly, as if he was observing her words and actions, and frowning from time to time.
Bai Zhaozhao stared back at her without any hesitation. This action stunned the old lady. Then displeasure appeared in her eyes and she walked straight towards her.
"Showa County Princess?"
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly, "Excuse me, may I ask which family the old lady is from?"
The old lady did not answer, but said in a tone of admonition: "The county lady just stared at me, which was really against etiquette. Don't do this again in the future!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ???
Weren't you the one who stared at me first? You're not embarrassed, so why should I be "polite"?
Bai Zhaozhao was about to retort when he heard Tang Yanyan say, "How could this princess not know? Just a glance at her makes you think she is ignorant of etiquette? Oh, yes, speaking of etiquette, this princess is so old, could the old lady not have noticed it?"
The old lady froze for a moment, then bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Princess!"
Jiang Yuanmeng took the opportunity to bow slightly and said, "Greetings to the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis."
Bai Zhaozhao understood. This turned out to be the old lady of Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion. Jiang Yuanmeng had said before that this person was difficult to get along with. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Tang Yanyan was really awesome. She was a first-rank princess, and Marquis Dingyuan was a second-rank marquis. The old lady had to perform the salute even if she had an imperial edict.
Although Bai Zhaozhao, the county lord, only had a title, she was also of the second rank, so she did not need to perform formalities unless the other party was an elder relative.
However, Bai Zhaozhao did not expect that the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would claim the status of elder herself. She said to Bai Zhaozhao seriously, "Zhaohe County Princess is dressed too plainly today, too petty, and her words and deeds are not dignified at all. I am afraid that even the servants will not be able to control her when she gets married. How about this, I have an excellent nanny by my side, send her to serve the county princess and teach her various rules, so that she can dress more dignifiedly when attending banquets in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Zhaozhao's CPU burned out, and even Tang Yanyan was confused.
Only Jiang Yuanmeng sensed something and replied directly, "Old Madam, you are worrying too much. Princess Zhaohe is under the responsibility of Princess An. Old Madam, please stop meddling in her affairs, right?"
