Chapter 57

Unexpectedly, Sister Ting had finished looking for Jingshu, and Sister Yun also found Jingshu within a few days. The topic was the same, but the request was the opposite. What I want Jing Shu and Mrs. Zheng to talk about.

Jing Shu asked: "The environment in other places is not as good as in Beijing. Fourth sister really wants to go?"

"I also want to go out of Beijing to see the scenery elsewhere. I really can't stay in this capital for the rest of my life. I won't see anything." As soon as these words came out, Sister Yun knew that she had said something wrong. Jing Shu and the others Also, I have never been out of Beijing in my life.Busily added: "I didn't say what you mean, don't take it to heart."

Jingshu smiled, "Since the fourth sister has such an idea, she can tell the third uncle and the third aunt directly. After all, it doesn't work if I tell the old lady."

"Why doesn't it work? The old lady loves you so much, she will agree once you say it!" Sister Yun said.

But the problem is that the third aunt doesn't want you to go, even if you reluctantly get the old lady's permission, it still makes the third aunt unhappy, when the time comes, the sky will be far away from the emperor, and it won't be you who will suffer Own?
I really don't know what sister Yun is thinking, can't you think of this?

In fact, Sister Yun's idea is very simple. Here, I will never be able to attract the attention of everyone, but when I go to other places, as long as it is the county where my father is in office, I am the daughter of the county magistrate. Respect yourself?

Moreover, sister Yun knew that Quan's family would definitely not let sister Ting go with her, so as the only daughter, could she not be calling for the wind and rain?

"But this matter can only be decided by the third uncle and the third aunt. If I tell the old lady, the third uncle and the third uncle will annoy me at that time, and I won't be able to do it."

"Oh, how could it be? Think about it, I was also worried that my father and mother would not be taken care of by anyone. I went to do my filial piety. It's too late for my father and mother to be happy."

Since this is the case, why didn't you tell your third uncle and third aunt?Why do you want me to talk to the old lady?It can be seen that your reason is unreliable. The third uncle and the third aunt are not too old to move, so can you still be filial?

Jing Shu was very angry in her heart. Do you think people are fools, or do you think you are easy to bully?Jing Shu said: "I can't help you with this matter. I think it's most effective if you talk to the third aunt sincerely. It's getting late, and I'm leaving."

After Jing Shu finished speaking, she got up and left. Sister Yun groaned behind for a long time, but she didn't keep the person. She couldn't help being annoyed, and said to the maid Mei Xiang: "Didn't you say it worked? How did you annoy people? In the future She said bad things about me in front of the old lady, didn't my previous efforts all go to waste?"

As a concubine, is it easy for her to make it this far?

Trying to please the old lady, please mother, please everyone, everyone is looking at her lively side, who knows how uncomfortable she feels?
Mei Xiang hurriedly said: "Miss Six is ​​not that kind of person, please don't worry, Miss Six. The servant feels that what Miss Six said is the same, so just tell the third wife directly? Even if you don't agree in the end, there is no hindrance. At worst, you can stay in Beijing where."

"What do you know? Mother won't let us go, and I have no choice but to ask Sixth Sister for help. Who knew that Sixth Sister, who is usually so talkative, would be annoyed, and I have to apologize to her for not going!"

Being able to bend and stretch is also considered a skill, isn't it?Who let himself not come out of the mother's belly?Just born to an aunt?
Originally, he still counted on his father, but his father has become more and more lazy in the past few years, and his mother is in charge of everything, and she, the concubine of the third bedroom, is also struggling to survive in the cracks.

Mei Xiang felt that it was the girl's own vanity that was causing the trouble, otherwise why did Baba follow her?It would be easier to live away from the girl under the nose of the third wife. Why do you have to do that?

Not to mention what happened after Jingshu went back, but Sister Yun thought of some way to turn the situation around. Qin went back to her natal home, and her sister-in-law Yan said to her in private: "I heard that your third sibling will be married in the next year. Went abroad?"

Qin said: "Yes, it's being taken care of now."

Yan said: "It's fine if she's gone, I thought she would stay in your house forever."

There is also a reason for this. Although the parents are still there and do not separate the family, the common son-in-law will move out to separate the house when they grow up and get married, but the sister-in-law of the sister-in-law is really thick-skinned. There has been no movement for so many years. Now that the third room is interesting, the fourth room is probably too embarrassed to stay.

Yan is also worried about her sister-in-law. Marrying into a family with many brothers is really not easy, and there are many messy things. If you ask her, it is better for her sister-in-law to move out of the house. The dowry, can't support a family?Now that they are mixed together, they still have to be angry with their sisters-in-law.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Qin said with a smile: "It's been a few years, the old lady knows it well, and I don't have to worry about it, just take care of the children properly."

"Speaking of children, how is my uncle's concubine doing now? I heard that she went to Qingxiu Temple. I told you earlier, don't be so soft-hearted. You seem to be doing well now, so you should let her know your duty." .By the way, what does my uncle think about this matter?"

"Husband didn't say anything, it was the old lady's intention, and it was also to pray for the old lady. I, as a mother, can't stop me. Fortunately, I can come back in the next year." Qin said hurriedly.

"By the way, what happened to Brother Yuan's marriage?" Qin asked.

Qin Yuan is also 15 years old, and will be 16 years old after the new year. Although many people are also married at the age of 20, the Qin family is still very concerned about their nephew's marriage.

Yan sighed: "It's hard for me to say this. Your brother told me vaguely, it seems that the emperor has the intention of letting Brother Yuan be the princess. It's not easy for me to propose a kiss to him here."

"What? Princess Shang? Then what will Brother Yuan do in the future? He will succeed our Lord Zhen!" Qin asked in surprise.

"Well, your brother told me, I'm afraid the emperor wants to suppress our Duke Zhen." After being promoted to the princess, he can only take some idle errands, and those official positions with real power have nothing to do with Qin Yuan, that is, Typical wealthy idler.

"It won't be anything serious." Qin asked worriedly.

"It's okay, judging by your brother's way of speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem. Princess Shang should be the princess. She can't let me, a mother-in-law, salute her like a daughter-in-law every day, oh."

Qin returned to Duke Huguo's mansion with the news, and told her husband Xiao Zhongqing about it. After Xiao Zhongqing got the news, he went to discuss with his old father and elder brother.

In the study outside, the father and son expressed their views on this matter.

Xiao Dingbang said: "We have experienced many such things, there is no need to panic, boss, please tell us your opinion."

Xiao Bozhan said: "My child thinks there are three reasons for this. Firstly, it is natural that he does not want Duke Zhen to be powerful, and he wants Duke Zhen to have no real power in the future. The other reason is that Qin Yuan was the sixth prince in the palace. The accompanying reading, the people in the palace are also familiar with him, someone must have taken a fancy to him and wants to make plans for their children, and besides, isn't there a rule in the Zhen Guogong's mansion not to accept concubines? This is also a way to attract the palace This is one of the reasons why the people here make plans." Men always hope that they have many women, but as a father, of course, he hopes that his son-in-law will only have his own daughter as a woman, this is human nature.

Xiao Dingbang nodded, "The boss is right, the second brother, what do you think?"

Xiao Zhongqing said: "Brother's words are very reasonable. I was thinking, should we also keep a low profile in the Duke Protector's House? Plan ahead?"

"Well said, in fact, we have been doing this for so many years. The boss has always been an idler. After you inherit my title, you will not say anything if you want to come to the Holy Majesty. Second, you don't need to inherit the title. Now you can have An official position is also good, you take the time to have a good talk with your father-in-law, and find out why they are valued by the emperor, I hope it is because Qin Yuan's child is valued by the empress in the palace, this person, I always hope It's a good reason, if it really involves the emperor wanting to do something to our dukes, it will be chilling."

"Yes, father, I'll go right away." Xiao Zhongqing really went to Zhen Guogong's mansion, his father-in-law hurriedly asked: "It's not Chinese New Year, why did you come here? But what happened at home?"

Xiao Zhongqing hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, it's because I heard that Brother Yuan wants to be Princess Shang, so my lord father is very anxious and wants me to come over and ask what's going on."
-
ignore me, ignore me, ignore me——
Queen's plan

"What did your father say about this?" Duke Zhen asked.

Xiao Zhongqing briefly talked about what his father and son had discussed, Zhen Guogong stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "Xiao Dingbang, an old fox, has raised two good sons. You guessed it right, they are indeed from the palace. The empress has taken a fancy to Qin Yuan and wants to marry the princess. On the other hand, the Holy Majesty also deliberately suppressed our Zhenguo government, but it's not because we made any mistakes. This is the emperor's usual practice, so don't worry about it. , we are not people with that kind of ambition, Princess Shang should be Princess Shang, we are also in-laws with the Holy One."

Oh, father-in-law, you are too calm, we are all worried, you can make a decision in just a few sentences, well, Xiao Zhongqing admires it in his heart.

Xiao Zhongqing went back to talk to his father and brother again, and Xiao Dingbang scolded with a smile: "This old fox, I forgot that he has always been like that, and he is still very worried. If this is the case, you don't have to worry, just wait for the emperor's imperial decree." .”

Speaking of which, Qin Yuan also knew the news that he wanted to be Princess Shang, he was listless, and his cousin Xiao Yan was not in the capital, the sixth prince would only make fun of her, saying that Qin Yuan would become his brother-in-law in the future.Qin Yuan can hide as far away as possible.

It turns out that the princess mentioned above is the only princess born to the empress. As I said before, the empress has never given birth to a prince, but only a princess. This princess is fourteen years old this year, because she is the only princess Daughter, the emperor and empress love in every possible way, and they are also picky about choosing their son-in-law. They must have a good family background, of course,

For a princess, it doesn’t matter if the family background is bad, but the environment at home must be good and not messy, otherwise the princess will be troublesome to deal with these things. Although I can build a princess mansion in the future, those relationships will not be able to get rid of. If I come here from time to time to harass me , is enough for people, the most important thing is to have a good character, the key is that if this character is good, it is difficult to inquire about it, yes, who can let you inquire about other young masters casually, even if it is known from the outside, where Do you know if it is true or false?
So the best candidates are concentrated on the prince's companion. If you can be the prince's companion, your family background will not be bad. Here, there are many eyeliners in this palace, and they will naturally report everyone's performance to their master.

In this way, with a good family background, a good family environment, and a good performance, Qin Yuan fell into the eyes of the empress.Originally, there was a marriageable second princess's mother-in-law, Ping Jieyu, who also valued Qin Yuan, but firstly, the queen's empress was more powerful, and secondly, the queen's empress's princess was an older sister, so no matter what, she had to marry the eldest sister first, in order to be able to marry her. It's my sister's turn.So no matter how Ping Jieyu acted like a baby in front of the Holy One, the emperor didn't agree, but the matter got to the empress's ears, and the empress smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.

As long as my daughter has a good home in the future, then I don't have any demands. Ping Jieyu is just a clown, why bother to be as knowledgeable as her?
The imperial doctor has already said that the chances of her being able to conceive again are very slim, so it has nothing to do with me who will be in that position in the future. No matter what, she is the aunt, and they will respect herself as the empress dowager, and I don't have a son to compete with them, and there is no conflict with their interests, so I think it is safe.So as long as the daughter's marriage is resolved, then most of the goals in life have been accomplished. As for the interests of the natal family?
She has been married into the palace for so many years, and she understands that she is just a pawn of her natal family. Seeing that she is useless, she wants to send younger girls into the palace. Give yourself a firm favor, give birth to a prince and raise it under your own name. In fact, no one knows what their purpose is. A woman's husband was divided by others, and now even these relatives are cutting her own knife, not to mention Once that person has his own child, doesn't he want to take a step closer?
Who doesn't think about their children?Maybe he will become an abandoned child by then.And do you really think that the emperor is a fool, it's your turn to plan?So the queen did not agree to these rude requests. Naturally, the relationship between my natal family and myself is not very good.

The empress thought that she would be rejected by the emperor, but she didn't expect the emperor to treat her better.

"Empress, the emperor is here!"

The queen adjusted her makeup and went to greet the emperor. Seeing that the queen wanted to salute, the emperor hurriedly said: "The queen doesn't need to be too polite. You and I, husband and wife, don't need to do that."

"Although His Majesty is gracious, there should be no less courtesy, otherwise everyone will follow suit and the palace will be in chaos." The Empress said, still respectfully bowing to the Emperor.

Alas, the queen is good at everything, but there is nothing less about etiquette, okay, okay, that's fine, I have all kinds of beauties, and the queen is dignified and polite is also my blessing.

But today I came here because I have something to do, so I said, "Where is Qin'er?"

Qin'er is the eldest princess's name. The empress smiled and said, "I'm learning how to embroider. When the girl grows up, she wants to please her parents-in-law in the future."

"Hehe, that's good, and she should look like a girl. Although our daughter doesn't need to do these things, it's good to know a little bit." The emperor said.

"Does the emperor have something to say to his concubine?" The empress asked, after so many years of husband and wife, how could they not know him?

"Queen, there is actually something wrong. Didn't I send an order to Lord Zhen, but that old and unrefined Lord Zhen came to see me? I hope that I don't want to build a princess mansion, and let Qin'er live in it directly. Do you think they are deceiving people too much? I just reprimanded him and told him to go back."

"Your majesty, let's take it as Duke Zhen's. After all, they are the ones going to marry."

"Then he has to see whose daughter he is marrying!"

"Your Majesty, no matter whose daughter you are marrying, after all, we are letting their eldest son marry Qin'er. If we really let them live alone in the princess mansion, that means letting the eldest son leave the mansion. This is not good, after all, They are parents, and the concubine knows their intentions." The empress said: "After all, Qin'er will live with them in the future, if there is a quarrel with her husband's family because of such a thing, it will only be bad for Qin'er. No good."

Generally, the second child or younger child in the mansion is asked to be Princess Shang, so that there will be no conflict of interest. At worst, he will live in the Princess Mansion, but now it is because he wants to let Qin Yuan Shang Princess, if not If you make some concessions, you will really have a hard time living in the future.You said that you let people live in the princess mansion like recruiting a relative. For Qin Yuan, who can become the Duke of the country in the future, it must be absolutely unwilling.The heir cultivated by Duke Zhen Guo since childhood, can he only be your son-in-law?

Even if you don't say it on the face, you still feel resentful in your heart, so it doesn't matter if the princess mansion is not built, as long as the daughter can live happily.

The emperor originally wanted the queen's consent, and he himself felt a little bit sorry for the decree this time, but after all, he is his own daughter, and he wanted to give her the best, so he didn't care about the opinions of Duke Zhen. Now that I give in a step, they should feel better, the emperor thinks so.

So this was settled.

The elder brother of Zhen Guogong's eldest son, Qin Shi, said to Zhen Guogong: "Father is still wise. In this way, Brother Yuan will not have to give up his inheritance rights." My three sons have been raised with purpose since childhood, how can I bear the heart? Let everyone's hard work for so many years go to waste?

The prince of Zhen Guogong still thought that if it didn't work out, he could only let Brother Yuan give up his future inheritance rights. He didn't expect that the old man would do it. I heard that the emperor told the old father to go away at that time. I broke into a cold sweat, and now the emperor agreed, which is a great joy, and in this way, my family will marry the princess.

Duke Zhen laughed and said, "The Empress is a wise woman, so she naturally knows what to do."

Originally, the emperor and the empress didn't care about this matter, and they couldn't justify it if they didn't give themselves some compensation. Not only did they not build a princess mansion, but the empress also said that the princess will be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family in the future, and she will serve her father-in-law and mother-in-law sooner or later.Although I knew it was a scene, it was better than nothing.There is no shortage of etiquette on my side.
