Who is the Liu family?
The Liu Jia family in Yanzhou has been handed down from generation to generation, and the Jinshi juren in the family has never been broken. There have been two followers and three followers, countless children have become officials, and generations have been promoted. Why did the first daughter of such a big family choose to marry Sheng Changfeng, an illegitimate child who is doing nothing?
There is no detailed explanation about the cause and effect of this marriage in the TV series, but the answer to the question can be found in the original "Know No".
(1) The Liu family is in perfect order, which coincides with the strict family education.
It turned out that the daughter of the Liu family was betrothed to Jiang Gongzi, the grandson of the Jiang family in Ding 'an, but there was an epidemic in Ding 'an years ago, and Jiang Ge died, so Jiang Gongzi had to be filial for three years. The two sides had already made up their minds to get married as soon as the filial period was over, but their son, Jiang, was shameless enough to share a bed with the maid and give birth to a son during the filial period.
When Jiang's son did such a thing during his filial piety, his character and self-control were naturally not high. Moreover, the Chiang family can allow the Chiang family's son to do such a thing, and the Chiang family rules are not strict. Liu family has been married for generations, and Liu's sister-in-law is also from a big family. Naturally, people with strict chastity will definitely resent the behavior of the Chiang family.
However, the Sheng family is different. Although it is not very prosperous, it is still considered as an aristocratic scholar from generation to generation. Hong Sheng is also a face-saving person, so the reputation of the Sheng family has been very good, and Liu Jiacai took a fancy to Feng Chang, a bastard.
The Liu family was forced by the situation and chose the son of their best friend to get married.
Liu's friendship with the Chiang family for several lifetimes can't be in-laws or enemies. It's not Liu's fault that this marriage is ruined, but it can't be made public, otherwise it will ruin Jiang Gongzi's career prospects.
But if you don't say it, people who don't know the inside story will be the eldest daughter of tamarix chinensis lour's family, and even this daughter is really hard to marry. Besides, Liu's eldest daughter has just grown up. If she doesn't get married, she will really become an old maid who can't come out, so she can only lower her requirements and find another son-in-law.
It happens that Shengji and Liu Ming are close friends of Shengji, from classmates, subjects, the same year, and finally colleagues. I know all the details of the Chiang family in Liu Jiahe, and I know that the fault lies not with the Liu family but with the Chiang family. Therefore, the Liu family can rest assured that their daughter will be married to the Sheng family.
(3) The Sheng family has a smooth career and a bright future. Marriage with the Sheng family is beneficial to the Liu family.
Yi Sheng started as a six-grade local official, and now he has become a four-grade official. It can be said that he has been promoted all the way to the present. Sheng parents, white high school, brilliant, long career, quite respectful. He married the eldest daughter of a famous family, which also helped Changbai's career greatly.
Look at the daughters of the Sheng family, none of them are bad, and they are all married. The eldest daughter Hua Lan married Yuan Jia, and the fourth daughter Ru Lan married Wen Yanjing, a bachelor from a poor family. The fifth daughter Moran married Yuan Jia, Earl of Yongchang; The sixth daughter married Ningfu, and they are both lawful wives.
The daughter of the Sheng family is well married, and so is the son. They helped each other in the imperial court, which is of great benefit to the future development of Shengji and Changbai, and will only make the careers of Shengji and Changbai smoother. Therefore, in the long run, even if the eldest daughter of the Liu family chooses Sheng's illegitimate son as a son-in-law, in fact, the Liu family will not suffer at all.
(4) The Sheng family handled the marriage wisely, giving the Liu family enough face.
After Shengji and Liu Ming decided on this marriage, Shengjia did not take it lightly because Liu chose Longfeng. Instead, the old lady came to propose in person.
Mrs Sheng is Yong's only daughter, and her husband is the world-famous flower girl. Her presence in person shows that the Sheng family attaches great importance to this marriage. Not only that, Sheng Jia also claimed that the old lady Sheng liked Liu's daughter's personality, so she knew that she was climbing high and had the cheek to climb high. This not only covered up the Liu family and the Jiang family, but also announced to everyone that the daughter of the Liu family had a high personality and gave the Liu family enough face.
To sum up, the Liu family is still willing to marry her daughter to Chang Feng, the illegitimate child of the Sheng family. One reason is that Shengjia's family education is harsh, the other is that Shengjia's development prospects are bright, and the third is that it is difficult for her daughter to get married. Finally, the Sheng family paid enough attention to it and personally invited the old lady to propose marriage. Therefore, even if Changfeng is only the first son in the class and only an illegitimate child, the Liu family will marry off their daughter.
