Chapter 174 Diao Chan Becomes an Adopted Daughter
The first to be affected was naturally the Yuan family. As a result, it was already a great blessing that the marriage was still going ahead, so they dared not think of anything else.
"And who can say that such words are not true?"
"Who would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family would be so temperamental? It is already a blessing from our ancestors that we can keep our position as the principal wife. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for my Yuan family to become a top clan with five generations of high-ranking officials."
"Perhaps our generation will end up in a state of decline, which would be truly shameful and a disgrace to our ancestors."
Within the Yuan family compound, a group of elders spoke in unison: "Yuan Liang, after this matter, you may retain your position as one of the Nine Ministers, but the arrangements for the eldest sons and daughters of your family will be put on hold. This is your punishment."
Yuan Liang smiled wryly after hearing this. He wanted to say something, but given the contributions his branch had made to the family, he couldn't bring himself to say it. He could only nod in agreement.
Yuan Yanran was also going to get married, but she was only marrying into an ordinary clan. As the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Yuan family, this was definitely a marriage down to her level, and she might not even get a good match if she married into a humble family.
after all.
Although the name of Yuan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, has not become known throughout the world, it will likely be remembered for a long time in the secular world. She is truly going to become a laughing stock among the women of the Han Dynasty.
Upon learning of this, Yuan Shu was extremely pleased with himself and burst into loud laughter in broad daylight: "Wonderful, wonderful! This matter deserves a toast. Indeed, the Liu family of Youzhou and my Yuan family are truly a perfect match. Now that the two families are cooperating, with the eldest son marrying the eldest daughter, this can truly be considered a match made in heaven."
"It's a pity that the Yang and Wang families got a share of the spoils. Otherwise, this glory should have been enjoyed exclusively by my Yuan family. Perhaps my Yuan family could have become imperial relatives in the future."
Yuan Shu muttered to himself, but at this moment, the spirited look in his eyes and the radiant expression on his face were extremely conspicuous.
After all, at this point, General Liu Hong intends to reach the top.
Although he did not say it explicitly, the entire Liu family of Youzhou, including the retainers of the General's mansion, and their corresponding behavior, all showed that he had this intention.
Therefore, the Yuan family, as well as the Wang and Yang families within the imperial city of Luoyang, all basically followed this path, and at least they would not make any mistakes. The prospect of contributing to the succession of the new emperor was something to be happy about.
Yuan Shao remained silent, which was certainly not a good thing for him at this moment.
Meanwhile, inside the Yang family residence...
Yang Xiu exhaled a breath of turbid air: "A concubine is still a wife, and she has a corresponding status. In addition, with the full support of General Liu Hong, it is probably not really a mistreatment of my Yang family daughter. It can also allow my Yang family to occupy a prominent position in this division meeting, which is already quite good."
"I really don't dare to ask for more. Could it be that the Yang family can really take away what the Yuan family desires? Thinking about it carefully, it all seems like a pipe dream."
"Father, one should be content."
Yang Xiu spoke softly, and Yang Biao rolled his eyes at him: "You should think carefully about who you want to marry my Yang family's eldest daughter to."
"After all, you are an only son and have no younger sisters. I'm afraid this spot will cause quite a stir within the Yang family."
"Marrying into the Liu family means marrying into a high-ranking and wealthy family."
"That's natural."
Yang Xiu smiled wistfully, reflecting on the talents and virtues of Liu Hong and his son Liu Bei.
Yang Xiu had seen it all, and after spending time with Liu Bei, he concluded that Liu Bei was a good ruler, a benevolent one, who not only had the ability to maintain the status quo but also the ambition to expand, which was truly rare.
The first generation followed the emperor, the second generation became the crown prince, and the Han Dynasty once again displayed its illustrious glory between the two dynasties.
The Yang family is practically immune to collapse for the next century, and may even reach the same level as the Yuan family, which is truly enviable.
At this moment, Yang Xiu even murmured to himself, "It's a pity I can't get the position of the principal wife. Today's Crown Princess will probably become the Empress in the future."
Without a doubt, in Yang Xiu's mind, Liu Hong was already the future emperor, and Liu Bei was the future crown prince.
Therefore, as the head daughter-in-law of the Liu family in Youzhou, she is now certain to become the empress and rule the world in the future. There is virtually no chance of anything going wrong. In addition, her maternal family members are all quite powerful, so they are able to keep this position and prevent it from being easily coveted by others.
It has made him a laughing stock.
Within the royal family.
In the Grand Tutor's mansion, Wang Yun looked at Diao Chan before him and felt a fondness for Liu Bei.
He smiled warmly, saying, "Chan'er, I am comforted by what you have done this time."
If you do your best for the Wang family in the future, your father will certainly not treat you unfairly.
And you all, you must remember to cultivate a good relationship with Chan'er. Chan'er is now a close first-class maidservant to General Xuande, and she should be considered family from now on.
Wang Yun then changed the subject, repeatedly giving instructions and advice to his eldest daughter, a member of the Wang family.
These legitimate daughters nodded repeatedly, showing no trace of arrogance, which was truly rare.
During this time, Diao Chan slowly knelt down, indicating that she would definitely make further contributions to the entire Wang family.
These words naturally delighted Wang Yun, who also promised to search for Diao Chan's family again and not forget this matter.
When Diao Chan left, she bowed once again.
Because of this incident, many people have also set their sights on other members of the Liu family. While the legitimate sons of the Liu family of Youzhou may not be eligible, the others may be.
If they could also establish a significant connection with the Liu family of Youzhou through marriage, they would all be quite satisfied.
Soon, someone set their sights on another member of the Liu family. This person now holds a high position and also wields real power. Among the younger generation of the Liu family, he can be said to be second only to Liu Xuande.
"Zhao Yun, which clan's daughter do you think I should ask for in marriage?"
"Unlike you, Zilong, who are now engaged to the daughter of the governor of Jingzhou, the Marquis of Liu, it's double happiness and a double blessing, truly enviable."
Liu Zongran, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and many other young members of the Liu family gathered here to discuss their marriages.
Those who are already married are no longer of the same generation as them. These young talents had never thought about this before, but now they have Liu Bei, their young lord, as their leader.
Their peers naturally have to catch up gradually, otherwise, wouldn't they be too unsociable?
This is not a good thing, which is why we have this meeting today.
