The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 906

Seeing Qin Min nodding helplessly, Qin Yingyuan continued: "Brother, you are a fourth-rank official as soon as you seek an official position, and your mother is born of the empress. Our house can be said to be full of flowers and brocades, and the fire is cooking oil."

Qin Min nodded again. The Qin family has been prominent for many years, and his natal family is also an imperial family. The Duke of Qin's mansion is undoubtedly the target of many aristocratic families in the capital.

"But brother, have you ever thought about it? Why is my grandfather not very affectionate to His Highness the Second Highness? Even my grandmother is not as respected as before? It stands to reason that my grandmother shared the hardships with my grandfather back then, so my grandfather should value my grandmother more."

Qin Yingyuan thought about it, and decided to start with the Second Highness first. Their Duke Qin's mansion has actually been tied to the second prince's boat.

The mother and the second prince are siblings of the same mother. Anyone would think that they are in the same line as the second prince. This is an unavoidable fact.

Qin Min's complexion became more and more ugly, and he scolded: "How can you talk about the emperor behind his back? Fortunately, there are no outsiders here today, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds in front of outsiders in the future, and don't act recklessly. "

Then, he took a look at the room, and found that Chonglou, the girl next to his sister, had left the room at some point, and there were only the two of them, brother and sister, in the room.

Qin Min heaved a sigh of relief. Although Chong Lou was just a servant, he never dared to underestimate anyone.Sometimes inconspicuous people can become the key to your victory or defeat.

"I'm just saying this in front of my elder brother. I haven't said these things to anyone before, including my mother. But since I was born in the Duke Qin's mansion, there are some things I have to say."

When Qin Yingyuan saw that her elder brother had an ugly face and scolded her, she knew that her elder brother actually listened to him.

As long as the eldest brother is willing to listen, it will be fine if he can listen to it. This will rekindle infinite hope for her.

"Second Highness is not valued by my grandfather now. The reason is that I am afraid that my family will become powerful. Needless to say in our family, how prominent was my grandmother's Li family back then? Li's people are all over the court. They were originally nobles from a century-old family. In addition to Conglong's merits, which aristocratic family in the capital can compare with it? But what is the situation of the Li family now? Isn't it just nestled in the ancestral land and dare not stand out?"

How could Qin Min not be clear about what Qin Yingyuan said?Back then, the Li family was truly unparalleled. Compared to the sudden rise of the father and son, the century-old family was even more enviable.

It's a pity that the emperor, relying on the power of the Li family, snatched the country.But later, after slowly stabilizing his power, he regarded Mrs. Li as a thorn in his side.

After so many years of suppression, if it wasn't for the ability of the grandmother, natal nephew, and the fact that the emperor still cared about the former affection, the Li family would have been even worse than now.

Grandmother's natal nephew is now able to sit firmly in the official position of the salt envoy, and it has to be said that he is very talented.Of course, this is also related to the other party's knowledge of current affairs.

Selling salt is a huge profit, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you want to get benefits from it, it is a breeze.

But with so many salt fields in charge, Li Zhanhua didn't dare to take advantage of them.And this is actually a hard job, because there are countless people staring at him, as long as he is caught in the slightest mistake, losing his head is easy.

There is a treasure mountain in the sky, but I can only watch it.Those white silver coins flowed through his hands like running water, but he couldn't touch them at all.

Not only can't get it, but you have to prevent others from getting it, which is even more difficult.

Qin Yingyuan saw that her brother's expression softened a little, and he also showed a thoughtful expression, so she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Then, she went on to say: "Let's go back to the Second Highness. Back then, my grandmother had some troubles with my grandfather because of the Second Concubine's affairs. I believe that the reason is better than me. My grandfather thought that the father of the Second Concubine Lang Is it the Commander? Although the Tiger Talisman is in the hands of my grandfather, he is still in charge of the military power on his behalf, how can my grandfather be relieved?"

Qin Yingyuan's analysis made Qin Min look at his sister in surprise.

"You know a lot. I didn't expect you, a boudoir daughter, to intervene in court affairs."

Qin Min was really surprised, don't girls usually like rouge and gouache?

Although these things are not secret, everyone is very clear in their hearts.But after all, it is a matter of the court, and the daughter's family will not intervene.

"Brother, is this looking down on women? I usually don't know anything, but I know it in my heart!"

Qin Yingyuan glanced at Qin Min, but she was not angry at her eldest brother's attitude.

If she didn't want to achieve her own goals, why would she bother to deal with these court affairs?

"My father and I are very clear about what you have analyzed. You have said so much, and I can understand what you mean. Don't you just want to say that our Duke Qin's mansion is already a raging fire, and it is not suitable for marriage with aristocratic families? ?”

Men think about these court affairs far more comprehensively than women.

Qin Min thought of himself, his father-in-law was Dai Yuanji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.The Commanding and Envoy Division of the Capital is subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and obeys orders from the Ministry of War.

He and Dai's ice man are the mother of the second concubine, and the aristocratic families in the capital are all inextricably linked. It's not surprising that he would marry Dai.

But the Second Highness married Lang, the purpose of which is self-evident.

When my grandmother mentioned it back then, my father didn't agree with this marriage, which made the emperor even more angry.

But both my mother and my grandfather disagreed. At that time, my grandmother's family, the Li family, suffered a lot of suppression, which almost made the Li family breathless.

Grandmother naturally couldn't watch her natal family decline, let alone let the Second Highness lose the patronage of the gentry.So he forced him to marry Dai under the coercion of his grandfather, which also caused his grandfather's affection for his grandmother to become worse than before.

"Since the eldest brother understands it in his heart, why do you still want to find the son of the aristocratic family to be my husband like my mother?"

Qin Yingyuan sighed. Her mother had said before that she would stay with her for a few more years, so she didn't make a marriage for her prematurely.

But she will be Jiji in a few days, and once the woman passes Jiji and hasn't kissed, those wives and grandmas who talk badly should whisper behind their backs again.

That is to say, during this period of time, my mother had to take care of the sick, so I didn't take care of her, otherwise I would have started to make troubles.

"Although my father and I both think that your marriage should not be with those who are in the limelight, but you should not be wronged." Qin Min said lightly.

In fact, his father had already revealed to him that he wanted to find a clean family for Sister Ying, so that his grandfather would not be upset, and Sister Ying would not be wronged when she married.

Anyway, my younger sister is a princess, so the dowry will definitely be a lot.To find a second son, you don't have to be a clan wife, just worry about your leisure, as long as you live a happy life.
