Chapter 1118: The princess is the king's matchmaker
Princess Shou'an gave birth to a son for Qin Jin, which was a joy for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Qin Jin went home early for the first time, full of joy and expectation for this new life that came to the world.
Qin Jin always thought that he would not easily integrate into this world, but today he felt a little sense of belonging. He has always treated her with a kind of pity and care, and his kindness to her is also due to this reason. And Princess Shou'an, marrying her is a political union, although the insect girl herself is also very understanding, but after all, she is not the one who can tie him.
It wasn't until he saw the little life that fell to the ground with his own eyes that Qin Jin suddenly felt that a certain door in his heart that had been sealed for many years had quietly opened a gap.
He knew that he could no longer approach life in this life with a game mentality.
The birth of the son-in-law, the entire Qin Mansion was immersed in a kind of festivities. The servants of the palace waited on the streets of Shengyefang and distributed happy money to passers-by along the way, so as to spread this joy.
A gorgeous chariot entered the fangmen, and then turned into the mansion across the street from the Qin Mansion. This is the mansion of Wei Jiansu, the servant of the door, and the person in the car is a beautiful woman, with a sad face on her face.
Wei Qiao, as a maverick existence in the Wei Mansion, although she has the unshakable status of the clan, the loneliness and emptiness when no one is there are are difficult for outsiders.
"What's the joy in the workshop?"
When getting out of the car, Wei Wan asked casually, and the driver quickly replied:
"It's Prime Minister Qin, the princess gave birth to a son-in-law for Prime Minister Qin!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, Wei Wan's body stiffened for a moment, and she seemed to let out a soft sigh.
"Let's go, go back!"
Wei Qiao still likes to live in the small building facing the street, for the simple reason that this is the only place closest to him, and he can hide behind the window and sneak a peek at him hurrying past the street.
In this world, I am afraid that this is the case, the things and people that I think in my heart, but can never get, may be the most luxurious and precious.
The Qin Mansion celebrated for seven consecutive days, and in Wei Wei's eyes, she became more and more interested, and she sometimes even fantasized that if she was the one who gave birth to a child for that person, even if it was as a concubine without status......
However, this kind of thought is just a thought. As the daughter of an important minister of the court, how could she be a concubine for others?
"Why is Ah Mei in a daze again?"
Wei Wei turned her head, but saw that her brother Wei Wei had already stood in the room at some point. She said angrily:
"Brother comes uninvited every time, don't you see people here to relax?"
Wei Wei didn't think it was wrong, of course he knew his sister's thoughts.
"Ah Mei, what kind of leisure is this, it is clear that she wants to grow wings and fly over that wall!"
"Who's going to grow wings? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and leave if you don't have anything to say!"
was said to be in her heart, and Wei Wei unceremoniously issued an eviction order.
The relationship between the brother and sister is very good, and Wei Wan is naturally not afraid of offending this brother who has loved him since he was a child.
"Brother, here are the things you want, do you want to drive Brother away?"
"It's time to entertain people again......"
Wei Wei obviously didn't believe it, but Wei Wei pulled out a paper envelope from the skin bag around her waist as if she were juggling.
"Look at the invitation from the Qin Mansion!"
The words "Qin Mansion, invitation" made Wei Wei's eyes light up, and then she was a little discouraged.
"It can't be that you invited me!"
Wei Wei smiled:
"Sister, look, it's you?"
"Who asked me, and why did they invite me?"
"It's Princess Shou'an!"
Half an hour later, Wei Wan sat in front of Princess Shou'an's couch.
At this time, the child had been handed over to the nurse to feed, and the insect lady was sitting on the couch, her hair was scattered casually, and she looked at Wei Wan as if she was smiling.
Wei Wan can be regarded as a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, but she is still furious by this princess who is six or seven years younger than herself.
After the usual congratulations and greetings, the whole room was embarrassingly quiet, and Wei Wan found that she didn't know where to put her hand.
It took a while for Princess Shou'an to break the quiet awkward atmosphere.
"Invite my sister to come over today, in fact, the insect girl plans to protect a matchmaker for my sister!"
Immediately, Wei Wei felt that this was a joke of the princess, although their relationship was not very close, but because of the poetry club, they were very familiar, and this kind of joke was the first time.
Since Princess Shou'an returned to Chang'an, she has often been anxious about the small gatherings of the ladies in the city in the name of the poetry club, which of course has a liaison relationship and inquired about the news, but in the final analysis, many people's relationships have become close because of the poetry club.
"Sister doesn't want to know, who is the other party, definitely a big hero worthy of sister!"
Wei Wan naturally couldn't answer.
"The surname is Qin, the name is Jin!"
The name Qin Jin really made Wei Jin's heart beat violently, but she was already a little faintly angry. In the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an City, who doesn't know that she is very fond of Qin Jin, and now the princess is actually using this matter to entertain herself, is it a bit deceitful?
It's just that thinking of the identity and status of the princess, Wei Wei couldn't help but didn't turn her face, after all, her words and deeds may affect the status of her father and brother. He is no longer the wayward Wei Wei of a few years ago.
Princess Shou'an was so smart about ice and snow, she naturally saw Wei Wan's displeasure, so she said:
"Sister thinks the worm girl is joking? Of course not! If my sister is willing, the worm girl is willing to be this matchmaker!"
Wei Wei walked out of the Qin Mansion in a daze, she didn't even know how she returned to her boudoir and how she sat back on the couch.
Worm Niang's words really moved her heart, but there was one thing, it was the hurdle that she had to pass in her heart. Because, even if she marries into the Qin family, it can't be the main family! No matter her status or status, Wei Wei can't compare with the insect girl who is the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
If you ask the heart, Wei Wan is naturally a thousand, ten thousand willing, not to mention that it is not the main room, even if it is a maid, she can only be by his side day and night.
However, since it involves marriage, it is not up to her to call the shots, and without her father's support, everything is empty talk. And the father is an old-fashioned person, how can he let his daughter be a child for others?
Wei Wei's first thought was Brother Wei Qi, and I am afraid that I have to ask Brother Wei to persuade her father in this matter.
When Wei Kui heard her request, he didn't feel strange, but there was a sense that it should have been done a long time ago.
However, Wei Wei also saw a meaningful smile on Wei Wei's face.
"What is my brother laughing at?"
Wei Wei waved his hand and said:
"Sister Bingxue is smart, why is she confused when it comes to herself?"
"Confused?"
"Grandpa will not only not object, but will also acquiesce in this matter!"
Wei Qiao was surprised:
"This, how is this possible?"
"Ah Mei has heard that Prime Minister Qin plans to conquer Hexi in person!"
Of course, Wei Wan heard about this from the circle of noblewomen, but she also thought it was just rumors. In the most critical battle of Pinghebei, Qin and Jin did not personally conquer, why did Hexi, which was only suffering from elbows and armpits, have to conquer in person?
However, when these words came out of the mouth of his brother Wei Wei, it had another meaning.
"Why do you want to do it in person?"
However, as soon as this question came out, Wei Qiao also understood. In the final analysis, Princess Shou'an's protection for herself is just a political marriage.
Once Qin and Jin decided to personally conquer Hexi, the stability of the situation in Guanzhong and Chang'an was particularly important. And Wei Jiansu is now a pivotal figure in the court, as long as Wei Jiansu is firmly on the side of Qin Jin, and the fifth Qi is a loyal supporter of Qin Jin, all worries will be solved.
The military power and the power to govern are all in the hands, and it is possible for Qin and Jin to personally conquer Hexi.
"Is Hexi more important than Hebei?"
Wei Wei said:
"Of course, Hexi is not as good as Hebei, otherwise how could the imperial court sit and watch the two thieves of Anshi sit big? Isn't it to defend against the Khitans? However, Qin Cheng seems to have a kind of attachment to Hexi and Anxi that is difficult for outsiders to understand, by the way, there are even big cannibals......
These state affairs that mobilized troops were not Wei Wei's concern, he only cared about one point, was Qin Jin willing to welcome her into the door?
Qin Jin sneezed fiercely, and after the joy of the birth of his son-in-law, he returned to his previous work trajectory.
With Yan Zhuang's return to Beijing to report on his work, Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Hebei, also returned to Beijing by edict.
Qin Jin carefully looked at this famous minister who was famous for his calligraphy in later generations, this person has single-handedly held on to the siege of the rebels for several years, this kind of courage and ability, how can this kind of courage and ability be judged by a mere calligrapher?
"I have admired Yan Fujun's name for a long time, and today I finally see my true face!"
Yan Zhenqing was very restrained, and he didn't talk much, and he gave concise answers to Qin Jin's questions.
Qin Jin could feel the coldness emanating from Yan Zhenqing's bones, although this person had given him enough respect on the surface, he could also see that he was dissatisfied in his heart, but this dissatisfaction was deeply suppressed.
No wonder Yan Zhuang did not hesitate to praise Yan Zhenqing's ability, but bluntly said that it could not be reused.
However, Qin Jin was very dismissive of Yan Zhuang's words, and the key to using a person lies in the person who uses it, not the person who is used. It's like Taizong used Wei Zheng to finally achieve a good story of monarchs and ministers.
Therefore, for people like Yan Zhenqing, it is not possible to change their attitude after a few conversations, so Qin Jin is not in a hurry to let Yan Zhenqing's opinion of him immediately ease.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Zhenqing went to Xingqing Palace to meet Li Heng, the son of heaven. The Xingqing Palace where Li Heng lives has long since ceased to be busy during the Tianbao period, and now the courtyard is cold, and there are almost no birds. For Yan Zhenqing's arrival, Li Heng seemed very excited.
"How many days does Yan Qing plan to stay in Beijing? When will he return to Hebei? Hebei has passed through the disaster of the two thieves of Anshi, are the people okay?"
Li Heng asked questions like this one after another, and Yan Zhenqing answered them all in detail.
The two monarchs and ministers spoke for two hours in a row, and Li Heng didn't feel tired at all.
