Poor family mother and son

As a marquis, Chu Qinggui is still considered unpopular in the eyes of people in the officialdom.

It was the same question—gender, parentage.

It is the consensus of this society that women are not enough to be trusted. If you want to correct it, it is difficult to go to the sky.

Birth, represents a person's foundation, Chu Qing is really duckweed, rootless.

Without family support, you just popped out of a crack in the rock.

When you think that what you have done is enough to be respected as "Monkey King", but in the eyes of officials, you are just a "Bi Mawen".

What is a Marquis of Linyang?No more than a marquis was earned with great effort.

Once upon a time, there was a veterinarian who was awarded the title of Marquis simply because he cured the plague that was prevalent on the horses of the army.

People also have to give gold crowns, python robes, and jade belts. The honor is big enough, right?No, he's just a veterinarian, who takes him seriously?
He is still a man, or a veterinarian, not better than you, a village woman?But as long as there is no family support, it is not even an onion.

Who takes your dipping sauce.

The more Chu Qing thought about it, the worse he felt, and he poured down the whole pot of herbal tea in one go, still feeling puzzled.

"Boom!" Chu Zhuang's voice sounded again: "Master, Li Yi, a gentry in Huai'en County, sent someone to send a greeting card."

"Master, the magistrate's wife of Yunkai County also sent people to send invitations..." Chu Li came to report again.

In the next few days, almost every day, there will be a large pile of invitations and invitations.

Most of them want to come to visit, and some are invited to participate in some flower viewing banquets.

Behind these posts, one or more girls are hidden, and their father and brother, the one with the highest rank is the sixth rank.

Chu Qing couldn't bear to be angry, and sighed straight away: "They are all good people! They are in control of the actions of the inspector censor."

The staff of my own family have nothing to say, what the Xunyan Yushi said will not be spread outside, and there is no need for the Xunyan Yushi himself to spread it by himself. Doesn't that mean giving money to Marquis Linyang?

Then it could only be spread by the people from Huai'en county government who accompanied him.

And the inspector censor arrived in Ganzhou first, and the county government in all counties would probably send people to pay attention, so it is not incomprehensible that the entire Ganzhou government would rush to Chu Qing to brush their faces.

"Maybe the magistrate's family in Ganzhou Prefecture has to send someone here." Chu Li reminded, "Would you like to meet at that time?"

Chu Qing disapproved: "No, didn't you read it? In people's minds, my son belongs to the family of an official below the sixth rank. Moreover, he hasn't come to talk about things before, so he will post a post and wait for me to come."

The prefect is from the fifth grade.

While talking with Chu Li, Chu Zhuang came in with another post: "Master, the housekeeper of the prefect of Ganzhou sent a greeting post, saying that the wife of the prefect wants to bring her daughter to visit."

Chu Li just looked at it clearly without blinking her eyes, clearly wanting to say: Look, there are six grades and above.

Chu Qing was puzzled: "It shouldn't be, I remember listening to the third child of Mr. Huang's family saying that the new prefect of Ganzhou was sent from Beijing;

It was said that his wife was very good at giving birth to sons, and she started giving birth to three sons in a row, and then she was tired, and after three years of recuperation, she gave birth to another one, and she did not say that she had a daughter. "

Chu Zhuang knew about this: "I know that, Master Huang said later that there are two concubines in the prefect's family, dedicated to giving birth to daughters, but no son was born;

It's just that Mr. Huang was impatient to listen and dragged you to study the waterwheel. I guess you didn't listen to it all. "

Chu Qing: "...Then my son is now a concubine from a fifth-rank official's family?"

Hurry up and tease Xiaobao while Xiaobao is not in front of him, otherwise he won't have a chance.

Let's have some fun with those petty officials, fortunately Xiaobao is not here, otherwise they might be tricked into something, at worst they would be bankrupt.

*****************
Kyoto, the queen's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, do you really plan to let Chu Qing's son die this year?" The Empress lightly and familiarly helped the Emperor undress. Today is the fifteenth day, and the Emperor sleeps here.

"That kid is very knowledgeable," the emperor raised his arms and raised his neck in response to the empress's movements. He liked the empress's style of doing whatever she wanted.

Unlike those concubines who help undress, they have to twist their waists and swing their hips to show off their figures. Don't you understand who is the master and who is the second?
"Then... really want Zhaohua to..." the queen hesitated.

"Why, do you think my idea is bad?" the emperor asked.

"The concubine dare not!" the queen said hastily.

"Hey, don't panic, I didn't mean to blame you, you can say what you think!" said the emperor, he really didn't mean anything else.

The queen helped the emperor to sit beside the table, and poured another bowl of milk powder.

It is much more convenient to have milk powder, which can be used at any time, otherwise, on this hot summer night, there is no way to get fresh milk.

"My concubine thinks that the child is still young, two years younger than Zhaohua," the queen said, "How can we take care of our daughter?"

"Our daughter", for the royal family, dare to say that our son and daughter can only be the queen, and saying this can indeed make the emperor think about issues with the mentality of an ordinary father.

Ordinary families, when looking for marriage candidates for their children, will choose a similar age, and the male is two or three years older than the female.

This is because it is generally believed that girls mature earlier than boys, so boys can be sensible when they are older; and girls have a short youth, one or two years younger, which is good for young couples to grow old together.

Of course, there is also the saying that "female juniors hold gold bricks", but they are a minority after all.

But that's just ordinary people's homes, the royal family doesn't think so.

Although the queen hopes that the emperor can think like the common people, it obviously cannot be successful, because the queen herself cannot do it.

So the queen's thinking is more "cooked", or rather nondescript, but the conclusions are consistent with the common people -

Since the whole world belongs to the emperor, the emperor's daughter has a wide range of mate choices, why choose a child, and the princess can't worry about it later?
"I feel that Zhaohua seems to have a good impression of the Chu family kid," the emperor said, "I remember that Zhaohua seemed to get along with that kid when he was seven or eight years old, right?"

This is true.

When the emperor mentioned this, the empress remembered that the first time Xiaobao entered the palace with Chuqing, he was arguing with Zhaohua.

At that time, the princess hoped that Chu Qing's mother and son could stay for dinner, and Xiaobao agreed with it. The princess felt that Xiaobao didn't ask his mother's opinion, so Xiaobao retorted that the princess didn't ask the queen's consent.

Thinking of it this way, the queen was also happy: "Don't say it, it was really like a pair of happy enemies at that time."

However, the queen asked: "After all, their family background is not high, Zhaohua is a princess after all, pointing out a son-in-law with such a background, I'm afraid it will damage Zhaohua's reputation."

Chu Qing was also born as a village woman, so if she betrothed Zhaohua to Xiaobao, wouldn't it be better than those noble girls in Kyoto?
The emperor said: "That's why I let that kid end this year. I will take care of him when the time comes. As long as the kid doesn't turn in a blank paper, he will always be able to give him a ranking."

The queen was startled—as long as she didn't hand in a blank paper, she would be nominated once?The emperor has already made up his mind?
