I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 538 Request
Although this is the other courtyard of the Qiu family, Zhan Feiyu is now considered the owner of the other courtyard, so he naturally walked to the main seat and sat down, "Miss Qiu, please sit down."

"Take the liberty to bother Ms. Zhan." Qiu Jingyuan tried hard to smile, but the turbulent emotions in her heart made her expression stiff at the moment, and her smile seemed far-fetched.

After all, before last year, she was still the most honorable official daughter in Qianzhong Road, but now she has been reduced to the daughter of a criminal minister.

Zhan Feiyu also looked at Qiu Jingyuan who was sitting at the bottom. She lost the domineering and barbaric look she had when they first met, and the arrogance in her eyebrows disappeared without a trace, but there was no trace of humbleness, but there was an extra layer of gloom, and she wanted to go back to Guizhou. After Taoism, Qiu Jingyuan's life was not comfortable.

"I don't know why Miss Qiu came here?" Zhan Feiyu asked straight to the point.

The third house of the Qiu family has already been defeated, and Qiu Jingyuan's grandfather and father Bao Ren have been imprisoned. Other relatives involved in the case, including the third house, have also been escorted to the capital for trial. exile.

But after all, Qiu Jingyuan's surname is Qiu, and she has also called Master Qiu's uncle for so many years. The matter of the third bedroom has nothing to do with her, a little girl in the boudoir. At most, it was verbal sarcasm and ridicule. Of course, the Sanfang group whose house was ransacked must not be as rich and well-off as before.

Qiu Jingyuan's eyes were already flushed before she opened her mouth, quickly suppressing the embarrassment and grievance in her heart, Qiu Jingyuan said with a choked voice: "I know that my father and the others deserve it for the family's downfall, but I don't want to marry someone who can be my father when I am old. "

After finishing the last word, tears flowed down Qiu Jingyuan's face.

I am only 13 years old this year. If Sanfang is not defeated, I can indeed discuss marriage at this age. It will take at least half a year to choose a well-matched husband and son-in-law. The best time to get married.

"Get married?" Even Zhan Feiyu was stunned for a moment. Those who survived Sanfang were either the old, the weak, women and children, or some insignificant characters. I don't know about Qiu Jingyuan's situation.

Compared with Zhan Feiyu, who still has a baby-fat bun face, Qiu Jingyuan has a slender figure and her eyebrows and eyes have grown. Although she is still in her prime, she can vaguely see a bit of slenderness, but it is still too early to say that she is married.

She lowered her head and wiped away her tears. Qiu Jingyuan's voice was full of bitterness and helplessness, as well as that irrepressible resentment and hatred, "Our family is sitting on the mountain now, and the three aunts are strong and domineering. My mother's dowry was pawned before. I went to the official errand, and now a large family of more than 30 people live on the dowry of my aunt and the others, and I can get 5000 taels of dowry money if I marry me."

Qiu Jingyuan's grandfather had only one daughter, Qiu Wenlan, in the early years. She didn't want this branch to be cut off, so she had to adopt three sons from the family. Who would have thought that later, she would have an old son, Qiu Tai, who married his wife Dou and gave birth to Qiu Jinyu. And Qiu Jingyuan two children.

After the accident, none of the adult men in the third room was clean. The three uncles, Qiu Jingyuan, were imprisoned, and the same happened to several adult cousins.

Although all these were the crimes committed by them who were corrupt and broke the law and disregarded human life, the female family members hated Qiu Jinyu. If he hadn't been a barbarian, the third family would not have had such a misfortune, and their husband and son would not have been imprisoned. You might even be beheaded!
But Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou, Qiu Feng also died, and the culprit Qiu Wenlan also committed suicide by taking poison. This hatred naturally fell on the living Dou Shi and Qiu Jingyuan.

Relying on the love of her elders these years, Qiu Jingyuan didn't pay attention to the three adopted uncles at all, let alone their wives and children, even if they were toddlers, Qiu Jingyuan could kick them if she was unhappy.

Back then, the little nephew who was just born was crying and screaming at him at night. In the winter, he forced the big brother and his family to change the yard overnight in the wind and snow.

Counting nine days of cold winter weather, snowflakes are flying, the lobby wife is still in confinement, and the little nephew is only five days old, but Qiu Jingyuan doesn't listen to anyone when she gets angry.

Qiu Jingyuan used to be domineering and arrogant, but now that the retribution came, she would suffer as much. It's a pity that Dou's temper is not strong enough to protect her only daughter.

"My aunt told me on the surface that he was the only son of the Xiang family, but my mother sent someone to find out about it. Xiang Changshou is simply a sick child. He wears three layers of inner and outer layers in summer. I changed into my jacket before I was cold, and I heard that I have been taking medicine since I was born, and the medicine I took was more than the milk I drank.”

Qiu Jingyuan raised her head and looked at Zhan Feiyu with red eyes, "This time Xiang Changshou is ill again, and my aunt clearly wants to marry me to celebrate."

The so-called dowry gift of 5000 taels of silver was simply money for life.

Qiu Jingyuan didn't even look down on Jiao Lianyu back then, so what if she has a talent for reading?Can it be compared with her brother Qiu Jinyu?That is a child prodigy recognized by Qianzhong Dao, and he won the small three yuan within a few years of studying!

What's more, Jiao Lianyu is just a lowly concubine. It is really a big joke for her to be filial to an aunt who can't stand on stage after being married to the dignified daughter of Qiu Mansion!

As for Jiao Zhifu's attention to Jiao Lianyu, so what? In the future, he will just take over the Jiao family. If he is lucky, he will be a fourth-rank magistrate in his [-]s, but his uncle is a feudal official, a second-rank official in the court!

Qiu Jingyuan thought about her own marriage. She was young, and her grandfather and father also said that her uncle might return to Beijing in the future. Once he went to the capital, there would be at least six ministers. The emperor's important minister.

The entire Qiu family is just a girl's family, and the uncle treats himself as his own daughter, and he followed the uncle to the capital to marry the princes, and at worst, he wants to find the eldest son of the Zanying family. In the future, if he is not a princess, he must be a wife. At worst, she would be a general's wife, and Jiao Lianyu was not worthy of carrying her own shoes.

"If you don't want to, you can go and tell Master Qiu." Zhan Feiyu gave a conscience suggestion.

Even if Mr. Qiu knew what Qiu Jingyuan did in private, he was a junior in his family after all, and he had learned a lesson. Mr. Qiu should stop this marriage, and maybe let Mrs. Qiu find a similar marriage for Qiu Jingyuan to book.

"I don't have the face to beg my uncle. Originally, the eldest brother could be promoted. Because of our third room, the eldest brother will have to wait three years if he misses this time." Qiu Jingyuan cried and shook her head.

Qiu Bingde is now at the fifth rank, and indeed he was affected by the third party, but Mr. Qiu's mind is not enough to take his anger on Qiu Jingyuan.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, "Miss Qiu, are you looking for me?"

I can't let myself go to the third room to put pressure on her three aunts and force them to give up this marriage, as Zhan Feiyu can indeed.

But when Zhan Feiyu left in the future, the deterrent effect would be gone. Qiu Jingyuan still had to marry, either Xiang Changshou or someone else. Given the hatred of her three aunts towards Qiu Jingyuan, this marriage would definitely be a fire pit.

Qiu Jingyuan sat upright and upright. Although she was downcast as a "commoner Jingchai", she was still an official's daughter, and her temperament was much better than that of ordinary women when she put on airs.

"Miss Zhan, you have saved the life of Second Young Master Jiao. At the beginning, the Jiao family also intended to marry my family. As long as Miss Zhan is willing to come forward, Mrs. Jiao will definitely agree to it." Qiu Jingyuan finally explained her intention after crying and showing weakness.

She would rather marry Jiao Lianyu, a concubine, than Xiang Changshou, who is a sick child or a merchant's family. Her mother also analyzed it before. Aunt Huang is just a concubine, not a serious mother-in-law. That's it.

Mrs. Jiao is the magistrate's wife, and she has never cared about Jiao Lianyu's concubine's affairs, let alone her daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law's airs. In this way, it is most suitable for her to marry into Jiao's mansion.

"Prefect Jiao will not agree." Zhan Feiyu looked at Qiu Jingyuan, who was bound to win, and could only pour cold water on him. Although Prefect Jiao was a little blind in the matter of the back house, as the prefect of Central Guizhou, Mr. Jiao He would never let his son marry the daughter of a guilty minister, especially since Jiao Lianyu would take over the Jiao family in the future.

Qiu Jingyuan nodded approvingly, "Madam Jiao will agree!"

Let the concubine marry a daughter of a well-matched family, or marry the daughter of a criminal minister, Mrs. Jiao will choose the latter without thinking about it!It's just that it's impossible to settle this marriage in a fair and aboveboard way, and some backdoor tricks must be used.
