Chapter 255 Live?die?
Not to mention what happened yesterday, both Qin Huaiyu and Jinyang had uncontrollably funny expressions on their faces.

Except for Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, the marriage of the two children is a major event after all. There is an imperial decree from the emperor, why should it be postponed for a few days? This matter is not urgent."

Does this mean that His Majesty has not taken back his order?But it seems that Jinyang is sure that in the end the emperor and empress will agree that the imperial decree received yesterday can be ignored?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and swallowed it back.

Then I heard Jin Yang continue to laugh and said: "Yesterday I wanted to go into the palace to ask Ah Zhao what we should do about this marriage, but didn't I meet my cousin who came to our house? My cousin just happened to be going to the palace too. Look at your majesty, but just after we left our palace, we met Mr. Chen again. When he heard that his cousin was going to see your majesty, he had to go with him. It was rare for the two uncles to come together Palace, father is happy, although queen mother is not in good health, but she still insists on entertaining the two uncles, I dare not make queen mother tired, so I have to stay with queen mother."

Speaking of which, the emperors and empresses of the Kingdom of David are all very humane people.The queen is like this, but she does not treat the two old courtiers as courtiers, but treats them as two old brothers of His Majesty.

Jin Yang smiled and said: "It's just a cola, but it made me see another side of our cousin that I had never seen before. The two uncles accompanied the father to drink, and while they were drinking, they talked about the marriage of their children and grandchildren." Old Duke Lu said that Azhao was originally his third grandson, Bo Bao, who was born to Princess Qinghe, but he didn’t want His Majesty to preempt him. Old Duke Luo hummed when he heard this. Speaking of this, I have to ask His Majesty for an explanation. How can the royal family snatch the bride of a courtier's family? Azhao is the bride he appointed to Jingnian, and he is the bride for his grandson who has agreed with our family. The result is good, Your Majesty asked Without asking, he snatched away the old man's granddaughter-in-law, and insisted that His Majesty accompany her granddaughter-in-law. When the father heard this, he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked me to ask if there was such a thing."

Speaking of this, Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe had nothing on their faces, but there was some uneasiness in their eyes.Qin Huaiyong still looked calm, but Yun He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Is there such a thing? I and A Lang have never heard of it, and the old Luo is the same. If he really likes Ah Zhao, he will soon Tell Alang a little bit, the Duke of Yue’s mansion is a family friend with our palace, and Alang and I have no reason to disagree, but now that the palace’s imperial edicts have been issued, what should we do?”

The implication is that Qin Huaiyong and her as Qin Zhao's father and stepmother, Qin Zhao's marriage, can only be counted if they both open their mouths.

Jin Yang ignored her, and only said: "Since I was asked to ask, I told the truth, the marriage between Ah Zhao and Jingnian, at that time, the A family nodded, and the prince and I also felt good, so we agreed." Yes. It’s just that our mansion has always been busy with the marriage of Azhe and Miss Li. Besides, Changning’s marriage can’t be delayed, and Princess Cheng is urging me to marry Yixing all day long. Azhao’s marriage It had to be postponed. But the two families had made an agreement, and Azhao would marry to the Duke of Yue's mansion next year at the latest. When the father heard this, he was dumbfounded at first, and felt a little embarrassed. The old man understood. All his life, when he was getting old, he did stupid things and robbed his old brother's favorite grandson-in-law. But the old man thought about it, his grandson was loved by his grandfather, and he wanted to leave the good to his own grandson. The truth is that the old man doesn't love his grandson, and the Thai banquet is what he loves the most. So he simply pretended to be confused, and played tricks with Uncle Chen and his cousin, saying that anyway, A Zhao, the granddaughter-in-law, we are old The Li family is also married. If there is no one else, everything else is negotiable. The queen mother and I were really shocked when we saw the emperor's appearance, and we couldn't laugh. This confused account was settled. In the end, the two uncles were kicked out of the palace by the emperor."

The old concubine listened, with a smile on her face all the time, and said: "It's all messed up, you Uncle Chen has been like this all your life, why is cousin not serious this time. If that's the case, let's just wait for the news The empress is not in good health, Jinyang, you should follow the schedule for family affairs, and you often go to the palace to take care of the empress when you have free time."

Princess Jinyang answered yes.

The old concubine then said: "You asked clearly yesterday, what happened to the marriage between Ah Zhao and An Guogong? Why did your majesty suddenly remember that such an order was made?"

Jin Yang said with a smile: "It is said that the Crown Princess asked for it in person, and the Queen Mother was so troubled by her that she had a headache, so she asked her to speak to His Majesty directly. I don't know how the Crown Princess asked, so Your Majesty directly issued an order. I It just so happens that today I am going to see my father and mother, my father is getting old, and I drank so much wine yesterday, I don’t know what’s going on today, after seeing my father and mother, I will stop by the East Palace, and then Just ask. In short, whether this marriage will be successful or not is not a bad thing. Tai Yan is a good boy. My natal nephews are not stronger than him in terms of talent, appearance and character. Pity this child's marriage is not going well, The Crown Princess is in a hurry to hug her grandson, and she did not act properly, but it is a coincidence, family, please don't take it to heart."

Although it is respectable for the emperor to personally decree to bestow marriages on his own children, and he is marrying the honorable son of the Eastern Palace, the future heir, this marriage is really not bad, but he should have said something before the decree was made, and he didn't even ask. , It is indeed inappropriate to give a marriage.

The old concubine glanced at Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe, and said with a smile: "This is a great respect, I don't care about it. Don't say that."

Jin Yang answered "Yes" with a smile.

The old concubine looked at Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe and the princess for a few breaths. Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe were uncomfortable, and the old concubine said: "Speaking of which, Erlang, you are Ah Zhao's father. I should ask you about the marriage, and now His Majesty is offering the marriage, and he is talking about Duke Anguo, the son of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and he is also a good child, what do you think?"

Qin Huaiyong hurriedly said: "I let my mother decide everything." As he spoke, the conversation changed, "However, this is really a good marriage. Mr. An is deeply loved by His Majesty and the Empress. In terms of talent, the sons of princes are inferior Well, Ah Zhao is also blessed to be able to marry such a young hero. Our family can have a son-in-law like Mr. An, and the marriage is bestowed by His Majesty, so it will save some face, right? This is really a good marriage."

The old concubine listened with a smile, but as soon as Qin Huai spoke, the smile on the old concubine's face turned into a sneer: "Marriage is a good thing for two surnames, but people like us don't take it The child's marriage is based on the principle of wealth and honor. An Guogong is a good boy, but even if he is a royal, it is reasonable to ask Ah Zhao if he is willing to marry. You are good. Hearing now, I have never thought about asking Ah Zhao Zhao, if she is willing, she is full of praise. Have you forgotten that it was your marriage back then, whether it was the Pei family or the Chen family, we asked you first. Anian asked for it yourself Your daughter-in-law is Yun He, who was married by you yourself. Did your father and I disregard your wishes? You are a man, and our family can still do this. This daughter's marriage is even more important. It's a matter of a lifetime. You never thought about asking Ah Zhao if she is willing? He is indeed a good father. Could it be the future marriage of Ah Yun and Ah Han, your elder brother and Jin Yang, and your husband and wife? , You can also make decisions without asking the children? You are parents, you can make decisions yourself, but the children live their own lives. If you really love them, you shouldn’t just think about the scenery on the surface. The hearts of children."

Qin Huaiyong immediately knelt down: "Son, I have no intention of clinging to my own child's marriage. Besides, our palace is already the first in the noble family. Even if my son is ignorant, he will not do such things. Come."

Seeing her husband kneeling, Yunhe also knelt reluctantly.

The old concubine sneered and said: "Really? Then tell me, why have you been in contact with the East Palace recently? Don't you know that the East Palace is not allowed to make friends with courtiers? Especially people like us, it is the most important thing to avoid suspicion."

"No son."

"No? You said no? No one in Chang'an now knows that before your steward Murong died, he met the officials of the East Palace, and was smashed in the face by the officials of Zhao Wangfu. Zhao Wang yesterday afternoon , and came to see your brother, and clarified this matter, do you tell me now? It’s useless for you to tell me, you should go to the palace and talk to His Majesty yourself.”

Regarding the rumors about Murong Xianzhen's contact with people from the East Palace, Qin Huaiyong had already heard the report, so he knew the actual situation, but he didn't expect the old concubine to tell him this directly.That was his mother, how could he not know what kind of temperament she was?No matter how kind she is to them in normal times, she will never be confused when she comes out of the royal family and encounters major events.

Qin Huaiyong hurriedly said: "It's true that there is no son. Then Murong Xianzhen is just a dowry steward of Yunhe. His son really doesn't know about it. Even if he really met the officials of the East Palace, he has nothing to do with his son. Besides He is a steward with a different surname, so he can’t represent our palace, and what is a steward who meets someone from the East Palace? Could it be possible that what he does as a steward can really be thought to be the intention of our palace? Your Majesty trusts brother, absolutely not would have thought so."

The old concubine said: "You are my son, what do you think, I know very clearly now. My son is really smart, and you understand what His Majesty thinks? But your talents should not be used in these places. You say you I don’t know, okay, I believe you. But you said that Murong Xian really can’t represent our palace, so who can he represent? On behalf of Yunhe? Is it Yunhe’s intention that he met with the officials of the Eastern Palace?”

"No," Yun He said hastily, "the princess's dowry has a leather business shop. Murong Xian is really the daughter-in-law's manager. He was originally from Anxi. When the subordinate officer met him, he asked Murong Xianzhen what he could do. Those who can buy leathers know that I am the princess of the Murong family, and the Murong family is also the royal family of Anxi. If I can have such a relationship, I will not worry about not having a good source of goods. I only got in touch after a while. My daughter-in-law only listened to Murong Xianzhen's mention After a few sentences, because I thought it was not a big deal, I didn't care about it. How could I have expected such a trivial matter, and now the city is full of storms? And now Murong Xianzhen is also killed by thieves. Even if it is in the palace Go, it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal?" The old concubine nodded, "But it's true that Murong Xian died under the eyes of our palace after seeing the officials of the East Palace. This matter will always come to His Majesty. Although you have not yet divided My dear, but this matter really happened, I will not make it difficult for you brothers to help you, you just go to the palace to answer the phone, I don’t worry about it. Erlang, you are also over 40. I only ask you, ah Zhao's marriage really has nothing to do with you?"

"This..." Yunhe hesitated.After taking a look at Qin Huaiyong, he stopped talking.

In the final analysis, she is only Qin Zhao's stepmother. It is better for Qin Huai to reply.

The old concubine's sharp eyes fell on Qin Huaiyong: "You don't have to fool me. Jinyang will know what's going on when he goes to the East Palace. If the princess really wants to complete this marriage, she won't give it to you." Keep it secret. Do you think that the matter will be settled after the imperial decree? Let me tell you, this idea is because you misplaced it."

The old concubine spoke so clearly, no matter how capable Qin Huaiyong was, he couldn't stop Jin Yang from entering the palace, let alone teach the concubine how to speak.

In order to win over Jinyang, the Crown Princess would naturally not take everything on herself, she must tell the truth.

Qin Huaiyong paused for a moment, and could only say: "Murong was the steward who first heard from the officials of the Eastern Palace that the Crown Princess had taken a fancy to our family's Azhao. After Murong Xianzhen came back, he asked his son He Yunhe, son Thinking about it, An Guogong is really rare, so he revealed some words, but he didn't agree. Besides, the subordinate palace is only a subordinate official of the Eastern Palace. What happened, how could I have expected that not many days later, the palace issued a decree. This matter, my son did not think about it."

"You don't need to worry, but you think too much." The old concubine said mercilessly, "Okay, Murong Xian is really dead, and I don't want to ask you any more. Whatever you say now, the imperial edict has been issued. You He Yunhe, let's go back now, I still have something to ask your brother and Your Highness."

Qin Huaiyong just got up from the ground, looked at Qin Huaiyu apologetically and said, "My brother is incompetent, I can't help you with anything, and this time I caused you trouble again."

Qin Huaiyu patted him on the shoulder: "Second brother, this is serious. My mother is only angry for a while, so don't take it to heart. I am also busy these days, and our brothers have not had a good talk for a few days. Go to me tomorrow. There, we can have a drink and talk together."

After Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe left the house, Jin Yang pulled Qin Zhao over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ah Zhao, Your Majesty will let go in a few days. Whatever your grandfather of the Chen family wants to do, you can do it." Yes. His old man is very reluctant to let you marry into the royal family. Besides, the old Duke Luo has never begged anyone in his life. This time he speaks, His Majesty will always give him some face. Just wait a few days, and His Majesty will find a good step. This matter is over. With Auntie here, I won't make you wronged. "

Qin Zhao said sincerely, "I'm asking my aunt to bother you."

Jin Yang smiled and said: "What's the trouble? You are my niece. Tai Yan is my nephew. If it wasn't for Jingnian's child, this would be a really good marriage. I would like you to marry Tai Yan in my heart. But speaking of it, Tai Yan's child has an unusual status after all, even though he is a good child, if you really want to marry into the palace, your temperament is not suitable first. Auntie knows it well."

Qin Huaiyu said from the side: "It's getting late, you should go to the palace earlier. Although I don't have to go to court today, I will go to the yamen earlier. I won't make trouble with my mother here." Turning to Qin again Zhe said, "You should also pay more attention to your own marriage. Your aunt often goes to the palace these days, and you also take care of the wedding."

Qin Zhe agreed.

After sending Qin Huaiyu and Jinyang away, Qin Zhe and Qin Zhao said a few words with the old concubine. Zhao replied, and then left.

When we went out, the sun came out.It was only then that the two remembered that they hadn't had breakfast yet.

Qin Zhao simply asked Qin Zhe to go to Fucui Pavilion for breakfast.

After returning to Fucui Pavilion, I had breakfast and listened to Qin Feng asking for an audience.

Yun Chang led the people into the house, and Qin Feng saluted the two of them before explaining his intention.

It was Zhu Balang who led the caravan back.

Qin Zhaodao: "Do you have something to say? How is your trip?"

Qin Feng said with a smile: "I just said it was safe, and I brought a lot of goods back. The goods brought out from Chang'an years ago also sold well. Looking at the appearance of Master Zhu, this business is doing well. And ask the princess When will you be free, would you like to see the princess."

Qin Zhao had something on his mind, so he said, "You live in Xinchangfang? Did you arrive last night? I happen to have nothing to do here. Come with me. I just have something to ask Zhu Balang."

Qin Zhe was also busy, so he went back to Yinyuan.

Qin Zhao and Qin Feng went to the house of Ashu and the others in Xinchangfang without any maid.

After not seeing each other for a year, Bajie became much darker and stronger again, and when he saw Qin Zhao, he showed his white teeth: "Why did you come so fast, I was thinking, what's the matter, you have to come tomorrow."

After the maids served tea, Bajie sent someone out. Qin Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What happened to my cousin? You are in the northwest with him. It is impossible for you not to know what happened to him." Later, I asked A Shu to send a letter to A Tie to check. But I haven't received any news yet, so I really can't let it go. If there is still no news, you don't have to stay in Chang'an this time, and the matter of receiving the goods is left to others Let's do it, I've worked hard for you, and I'll go back to Anxi right away, I want to see people when I'm alive, and I want to see the corpse when I die, so I must find out about my cousin."

Although Qin Zhe has his influence, Anxi is not Beiting after all, and he cannot do whatever he wants.But Ah Shu is different from Bajie, they have been running Anxi for many years, and there are some things that Qin Zhe can't do, but they can, especially in the aspect of getting deep news, which is their strong point.

Bajie smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's because of this that I asked Qin Feng to send you a letter to let you come. Otherwise, I just came back and I have something to sort out, and you If you don’t want to come here, you can come here, where will you be urged to go?”

"You mean, there's news about my cousin? What's the matter?"

This is also what she cares about.Ba Jie's appearance, doesn't it look like he wants to tell bad news?
Bajie said: "There is news, don't worry, I will tell you right away. But you listened, don't think about it, let alone worry."

Can she not be in a hurry: "I'm fine, what's the matter, please tell me quickly."

　If you're not in a hurry, I'll watch it tomorrow, and I haven't caught any bugs yet.started first
