Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 722 Nobility disturbances, strange grandparents (3)
"mother."

Qiu Mingyue stopped and looked at her.

"Tell me honestly, did your aunt say something to you?"

The third uncle has two legitimate sons and a concubine daughter. The daughter was married many years ago, and now in the capital, there are only two sons and two daughter-in-laws.She also met the two aunts several times when she was young, and they were both merchant ladies, so they were naturally inferior to the educated, reasonable, gentle and virtuous ladies of the official family.The eldest aunt is mean and loves petty gains.The second aunt is a gentle person, although she is a bit cautious, it is not harmful.

The eldest aunt has a son and a daughter, and the daughter is Qiu Mingyue's first cousin who is already married.There is also a son named Shen Qianzhi, who has reached the crown this year.She also has some impressions of this big cousin. He was a steady person when he was a child, and he was also somewhat knowledgeable.Such a person as an official can benefit the people of one side.

Shen's eyes flickered slightly, obviously a little guilty.

"I……"

Qiu Mingyue sighed, "Mother, you know what kind of person your eldest aunt is, but you still promised her what to do? In the officialdom, it's not up to you or me, even the king and the father-in-law. You can’t talk about it at will. My eldest cousin is talented, and he can rise to the top with his own efforts. In my opinion, if you take the shortcut, let alone your grandfather’s disapproval, your eldest cousin will not be happy. What are you doing? So confused?"

Shen's face was a little embarrassing, she also knew that this matter was her own decision, but...

"Mingyue, mother is not a power, nor is it because you want to put the future of the entire Shen family on you once you gain power. It's just... hey, you know, my Shen family has no one in the court, and your grandfather will sooner or later... You want to be a scholar. Your eldest cousin is still young, and it may be too early to make a difference in the officialdom. At that time, the Shen family will have no support in the court, and my mother will be fine. I'm just afraid that you will be punished if you are in the palace. People talk nonsense. I know what your eldest aunt is up to, but she is right in saying something. Your eldest cousin has a good future, and you have a lot to rely on. After all, they are cousins. In the middle, it is natural to help each other."

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips, her eyes flickered sharply, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Is my aunt still provoking you to use my name to marry my eldest cousin a good marriage? It's best to be from a famous family, a Zanying family?"

Shen's eyes widened, and she looked at her dumbly.

"You... how do you know?"

The corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth was sneering, "How many years of struggle will be saved if I can climb to a high position through a family marriage? Naturally, she will not miss such a good thing. What's more, I am now Prince Rong's concubine. Made me a noble lady of the first rank. With such an honorable niece, can she make good use of it?"

Shen didn't speak anymore, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

Qiu Mingyue sighed, "Mother, there are many people in this world who want to gain power and wealth, and leap over the dragon's gate. Auntie's idea is not a big mistake, but I don't like being used as an escalator to go up step by step." Climbing, I believe that my eldest cousin is also unwilling. The future that depends on a woman, the eldest cousin will never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. But the eldest cousin is indeed at the age of marriage. There are many, but you can also give him discretion. I am afraid that the eldest aunt has high vision and looks down on others."

Mrs. Chen patted her hand, "You are right, I was confused. I always thought, after all, if it is a family, I can help a group." She paused, and said: "Your eldest aunt When I first talked about it, I also politely rejected her. But you know who your eldest aunt is, hey, I really have no choice. Qianzhi is a good boy. I believe that with his own efforts, he will also It will have a good future. It is his marriage, if you know a suitable woman, please help him. It is your eldest aunt's business whether you like it or not, we just need to do our best."

"Ah."

Qiu Mingyue nodded with a smile, and suddenly thought of Lu Yuan again.

"By the way, where is Lu Yuan? Why didn't I see her? On the day I got married, that girl hid herself from seeing me. Now that I have returned home, is it possible that she still doesn't see me?"

Shen smiled, "She didn't hide from you? It's just that she couldn't bear to see you getting married. She was afraid of watching you get on the sedan chair and couldn't help crying, so she just hid aside. Since the day you got married, she I was thinking about the day when you would return home. But Yan Yi’s mother passed away the day before yesterday. According to the customs of their hometown, the ashes had to be sent back. Their ancestors were all born in the Qiu Mansion, and they were loyal to the Qiu Mansion. Your father will He was also allowed to go back. Lu Yuan, who is a daughter-in-law, naturally has to go with her. It will take about a month to come back."

Qiu Mingyue understood, "So that's how it is."

She smiled, "Let's go, grandma will have to wait for a long time."

"it is good."

During lunch, the old lady asked about the eldest lady and Qiu Minglan.Qiu Mingyue said kindly that they were infected by the cold wind blowing outside just now, and now they are resting in their yard.The old lady didn't know what happened in the garden before, of course, because Qiu Mingyue didn't want her to know.It's useless to know, anyway, this time, she is determined to teach Da Furen a serious lesson.

Isn't the eldest lady always proud of her status as the main wife?Then she will take away the only capital she is proud of now.From now on, the eldest lady will no longer be able to do any tricks.The eldest lady has become a concubine, and Qiu Mingyu has no status in Xue Guohou's mansion.As for Qiu Minglan, she will no longer have the capital to run wild when she marries to the Yangning Marquis Mansion in the future.

After having lunch in Qiu Mansion, Qiu Mingyue left with Feng Qingli.After all, she is a married woman, if she stays at her mother's house, she will be gossiped about.

After going out the gate, Qiu Mingyue suddenly found her own Shuijingfang.She hasn't been to this rouge shop since she opened it.She had the opportunity to come out today, and she originally wanted to go and have a look, but then she thought about it, forget it.Now she didn't want to expose her shop, so she followed Feng Qingli into the carriage of Prince Rong's mansion.

Feng Qingli saw her looking sleepy, so she leaned over.

"what happened?"

Qiu Mingyue glanced at him, "My third uncle has come to the capital now and has lived in the Shen Mansion for a while. As a junior, I haven't visited him all this time, I'm afraid my third uncle will be angry."

Feng Qingli said: "It's still early, why don't I accompany you to Shen's residence."

Qiu Mingyue shook her head, "Since I'm visiting my third uncle, I have to be sincere. You all know that I'm going back to the house today, and I just stop by to have a look when I go back. Isn't it disrespectful? Forget it, I'll pick a few in a few days." Come to the door with a gift to apologize."

She rubbed her temples, "By the way, do you know my eldest cousin? His name is Shen Qianzhi, and he was awarded a Jinshi in the autumn. He is not young now. A few days ago, my aunt dragged my mother to him My mother told me today about a good marriage. I also know that although my grandfather now has a place in the court, he can’t do it alone and lacks foundation. It’s not very rich. My aunt wants to rely on my relationship to marry him. For a woman from an aristocratic family to be a wife, my mother and I just need to find someone from the right family. But you also know that I hardly go out usually, and I don’t know many of the ladies in the capital. All of a sudden , I really can’t think of a suitable candidate. Give me an idea.”
