Chapter 59: Good Intentions (2)

Ming Ze looked at Qiu Yiran expressionlessly, did this bastard regard their Yin family as fools?

Not to mention, Qiu Yiran really didn't take a few of them seriously. Although Zhiruo did not "prefer to be a concubine and stay in the Qiu family" as he intended, it is not surprising that he thought about it later, the education and deep-rooted concept of wives and concubines that everyone has received since childhood, coupled with the huge dowry to increase their confidence, it is normal for Yin Zhiruo to be angry. No matter how cowardly he is, he still has to save face, not to mention that at that time, if Yin Zhiruo took care of his younger brothers and sisters, it was common sense for him to rush back to Beijing.

However, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, how can a person's temperament be so easy to change, and now Tie Muyuan, who is nosy and gives advice to Yin Zhiruo, is not here, what use can Yin Zhiruo have? In his opinion, the things that Yin Zhiruo did in the three days in the capital as mentioned in Ye's letter must have been Tie Muyuan's idea. Not to mention Yin Zhiruo, a little naΓ―ve who has been spoiled, is an ordinary sixteen-year-old boudoir woman, after a sudden change, it is not easy to not fall ill, how can she quickly make that series of reactions?

Although he was tossed by Yin Zhiruo and lost a lot of money, he could win the attention of King Jing and the support of the generals in the army, which would be of great benefit to him in the future.

He inquired, Yin Zhao's crime of treason basically cannot be determined, Yin Zhiruo is a divorced woman, naturally she can't remarry back as a wife, but she will be a concubine first, and promise to wait until he gets married before being promoted to a flat wife. In that case, whether it is her dowry or the resources in the capital, isn't it all his? Moreover, the flat wife is also a concubine, in case there is really any change in Yin Zhao's case, it is just a concubine's maiden family, and it will not have any impact on their Qiu family.

I have to say that Qiu Yiran's calculation is really comprehensive, and the more he thinks about it, the more proud he becomes.

The plum banquet at the end of the year was something he had planned a long time ago, and now it is even more like killing three birds with one stone, one is to show Yin Zhiruo's reluctant affection for him and save his face in front of his friends; second, to prove that the relationship between the two families is very good, to break the "rumors" outside and even in Beijing about the Qiu family persecuting Yin Zhiruo to leave, and to save the reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion; third, as long as Qiu is a chess piece, as long as he uses a little trick, he can not only not damage his reputation, but also make Yin Zhiruo have to marry him as a concubine, and maybe there is a good story of deep love.

And this qiΔ“ calculation is hidden under the "good intentions" considered for Ming Ze's brothers and sisters, and he is really not worried that Ming Ze and Yin Zhiruo will refuse. If he is Mingze, he must hope that he can get rid of the suspicion of rebellion for his father in the future, and he can also regain the opportunity to enter the office, all of which require a network, and they can't just rely on one King Jing and Tie Muyuan, right?

Of course, if Yin Zhao's suspicion can really be cleared, there will be no harm to him Qiu Yiran. It's just, hehe, that's too difficult! Especially with Mingze, a sick nerd like Mingze and Minghui, who is still young, what can he do, when the time comes, help him run errands, and take care of Zhuangzi.

Seeing that Ming Ze didn't speak, he just looked at him bably (if Ming Ze can read minds, he must be drunk, where can this guy see that he "looks at him baba"?), he was even more proud, and said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I will give you a list, and I will invite you in the name of you and me." As for the female guest, it's in your sister's name, but I'll let my mother greet you beforehand. In Los Angeles, they still want to give us face in the Marquis of Qingyuan. ”

Now it was replaced by Ming Ze who looked at Qiu Yiran with the eyes of a fool: "I'm sorry Qiu Shizi, didn't you just say that my sister's scruples are right? My sister said, in order to avoid rumors that are unfavorable to our two families, we still keep our distance, how can we hold a plum banquet together? Besides, our sister and brother have five great filial pieties, not to mention that at the end of this year, we can't hold any banquets in three years, right? What does Qiu Shizi mean by this? The emperor did not condemn my father, did not forbid us to bury my parents and keep filial piety, and my mother is still the emperor's own lord of Qianxin. ”

Qiu Yiran was stunned for a moment, Shouxiao? Why didn't he think about this at all? By the way, "Didn't you know that you set up a female household?"

Ming Ze couldn't hold back any longer, and directly scoffed: "Is establishing a female household to cut off relations with parents? There is such a provision in the law?"

Qiu Yiran saw the sarcasm in Ming Ze's eyes, his face was like fire, and he realized that if his conversation with Ming Ze today spread, it would be extremely detrimental to his character and reputation, and filial piety was the first of all kinds. Hurriedly said: "It's me who is confused, I am thinking about how to help you, so that you can live a better life in the future, but I forgot about such a big thing." ”

He had a look of regret and shame on his face, but in his heart he was annoyed and angry, and he was about to collapse in anger, and he kept filial piety for three years? His plan was not all in vain? He needed Zhiruo's dowry to supplement the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, to subsidize him, to pull his connections into the court, and even to move the Hou Mansion to the capital, okay? Now he still has to wait for three years? The mansion sold another shop yesterday, although it was sold to his mother's maiden cousin, outsiders don't know, but they themselves know that now the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is about to make ends meet! If this continues, I am afraid that it will ...... Before he took over the title, the Hou Mansion was only an empty shell! Qiu Yiran, who was once again empty, became more and more annoyed with the stupid ideas of his mother Ji and cousin Ye, if it weren't for them, how could things have come to this point?

What should I do? Is there any way to invalidate the letter of harmony, or to make Yin Zhiruo willingly take the silver out first and secretly supplement him?

Ming Ze became more and more impatient, and shouted softly to Ruqiu: "What are you doing here, why don't you go back and talk back to the eldest girl?"

Uncle Qiang also said coldly: "If the eldest girl has already rested, don't disturb the girl, I don't think things are so urgent, it's okay to go over and report to the girl later." ”

Ruqiu felt cold in her heart, and became more and more suspicious that Uncle Qiang had deliberately warned her just now. But this Uncle Qiang is the chief steward given by the Lord of Qianxin, so naturally he is not as easy to fool as the eldest girl, if Uncle Qiang is really suspicious of her, it will be troublesome.

What's funny is that when Qiu Yiran saw this scene, he looked down on Zhiruo and Mingze more and more. If it weren't for Yin Zhiruo's sister and brother who were young and too useless, just a person in charge, who dared to intervene and assert himself like this?

However, the purpose of his coming here today is no play, and it can only be said that he has probed the truth roughly. Forget it, at least, Yin Zhiruo will not be able to recruit during the filial piety period, he still has time to think of a way. In his territory, under his nose, those properties will not fly, right? Unless Yin Zhiruo really dares to donate them to the army, what kind of "soldier's home" or something.

Ming Ze spoke, Ruqiu didn't dare to delay any longer, and when he saluted and left, he suddenly came to the urgency again, and asked Uncle Qiang: "Uncle Qiang, do you know if the carriage on the Zhuangzi tomorrow is free?" The girl asked me to make plain winter clothes for the second and third girls, and the suitable embroidery thread is running out, and I am going to go into the city to buy some embroidery tomorrow afternoon. ”

Uncle Qiang was secretly amused, but he said impatiently: "You should apply to Qi Bo for these things, but since you are rushing to make clothes for the two girls, it is impossible to delay you from buying silk threads." ”

"Yes, I know, I'm going to apply to Ziber. Ruqiu responded obediently, "Master Da, the slave and maid are retired." After saying that, he quickly retreated. She believed that Qiu Shizi must have understood her hint, and even better if he could go over in person tomorrow.

Qiu Yiran really understood what Ruqiu meant, and he was indeed thinking about going on a trip in person tomorrow. Ruqiu is the eldest girl who has served Yin Zhiruo since she was a child, and she must know her preferences and temperament well. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win steadily, and their previous fiasco was because they underestimated Yin Zhiruo and believed too much in Ye's so-called "everything has been arranged".

What he wouldn't have thought was that his confidant did bring him a concubine, and there were a lot of "good stories", but it was not what he wanted. And the Ye family, who was slandered by her at this time, will once again bring their Hou Mansion into the gutter in the near future. R1152
