Chapter 227: Considerations
The news that Mrs. Xu vomited blood again and fell ill soon spread to the Chengenhou Mansion, and in less than half a day, it reached the ears of Qin Hanzhen in the Yongjiahou Mansion.
Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Jinhua, the messenger in front of him, and saw that her face was indifferent, and she was a little unsure of how she was feeling at the moment, so she could only ask about other things: "Why did you fall ill again? Didn't you say that her condition had improved before? She actually vomited blood? The Marquis of Yunyang intends to marry the Xu family, which is good news, but it turned out like this...... What did my aunt say?"
Qin Jinhua tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking as if he was smiling: "Grandmother was startled, and immediately sent her confidant to Xu's house, and said that she would personally visit Xu's house tomorrow." She paused and looked at Qin Hanzhen, "Grandmother also asked my brother to accompany me with her." ”
"What?!" Qin Hanzhen almost didn't jump up from his chair, "Uncle and grandmother just go to visit the sick, what are you two going to do with you?"
Qin Jinhua chuckled: "Oh, this is because my father and third uncle are busy with official business, and my mother has just quarreled with the second grandmother of the Xu family, so it is not good to show up at this time, and my grandmother is alone and unaccompanied, so she called my brother and me." The elder brother is the eldest grandson, and it is appropriate to serve his grandmother when he travels. As for me, my grandmother wants a granddaughter to accompany her, and when she goes out, there is someone who can help her. After all, my grandmother is also old, and her legs and feet are not very convenient. And who else but me is fit to take on such a heavy responsibility?"
Qin Hanzhen sneered: "What girl can't help her uncle and grandmother? If she really just wants a granddaughter to accompany her, in fact, the fifth sister is quite suitable." She is also eleven years old, and when we were eleven years old, we had already followed the elders of the family everywhere, let alone just helping our grandmother. ”
Qin Jinhua sighed lightly, drooped his head and stopped talking.
Qin Hanzhen couldn't bear it when he saw this: "Can't you just think of pushing it off? Your brothers and sisters are too embarrassed to go over at this time." It's inconvenient for the second aunt to show her face, isn't there still a third aunt? If the lobby brother really can't avoid it, there is no way, who calls him the eldest grandson? If you don't go to the inner house and don't bump into Miss Xu, it'll be fine. It's not good for you to show up, otherwise your mother may have to fight with the second grandmother of the Xu family again. ”
Qin Jinhua tugged at his sleeve and didn't speak.
Qin Hanzhen gave their brothers and sisters an idea: "Let Brother Lobby say, my grandfather Ming'er asked him to come over to check his homework? My grandfather is easy to talk to, and as soon as he speaks, my uncle and grandmother can't say anything." ”
Qin Jinhua said: "This is not good, it seems to be taking the third room to pinch the grandmother, even if Ming'er dodges it, it will cause the grandmother to lose face." "There are indeed many places in the long house that need to rely on the third room now, but there are some things that are not clearly exposed, and everyone can get better.
Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Then let Brother Lobby say that he will make an appointment with Cousin Zhao tomorrow - no, the eldest uncle and grandmother probably won't believe it." Cousin Zhao often comes to see Brother Lobby, and every time he comes to the door, or meets at our house. With just these two steps, there is no way to avoid the eldest uncle and grandmother. I think it's better to let Brother Lobby go and ask Cai Shizi to meet. Isn't the Xu family now trying to tie up with the Cai family and marry the Cai family? The eldest uncle and grandmother will definitely have some concerns. As long as it is said that Brother Lobby has an appointment with Cai Shizi, the uncle and grandmother will not force him to go with him anymore. ”
Qin Jinhua thought about it carefully, and showed a little liking: "That's right, this excuse will definitely help my brother......! How can my lobby brother make an appointment with Cai Shizi?"
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "With Brother Lobby's ability, he has been with Cai Shizi in Changping for several days, can't he come to the door to talk to someone? It can even be said that Cai Shizi is the lobby brother, anyway, the uncle and grandmother can't ask Cai Shizi what is going on, just mix it up tomorrow. In the future, even if the uncle and grandmother know the truth, what can she do with the lobby brother?"
As for Qin Jinhua, it is easy to do, Qin Hanzhen plans to find his grandmother's cow, let her make an invitation to Qin Jinhua, and invite someone to his house tomorrow to play for a day. Although it is close, the Xu family can come over to find someone at any time. But the Niu family is opposing the Xu family's idea of being close to each other, as long as the Niu family must keep Qin Jinhua, the Xu family can't do anything about her. What's more, in front of this concubine, the Xu family still has to nod his face to some extent.
If Qin Jinhua felt that this method would hurt her grandmother Xu's face, then it would be no problem to turn to her maternal grandparents for help. If the Yao family sent someone to pick up their granddaughter to play for a day, would the Xu family still be able to stop it?
Qin Jinhua listened to Qin Hanzhen's idea, and his mood slowly relaxed. What I thought was sad about can be solved so easily, but it's not really scary.
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said to Qin Hanzhen: "Then I'll come to you tomorrow to play for a day." I'll go with you to see my third uncle and grandmother in a while, and ask her to help me. As long as I give my grandmother a message, she probably won't stop me. ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Actually, it's right that you don't go to the Xu family." Mrs. Xu is seriously ill, and she has always been opposed to Xu Zheng marrying you, in case she sees you and is worried that her aunt and grandmother want to marry you to Xu Zheng again, and what if her illness worsens? She is full of thoughts about marrying her niece and nephew to Xu Zheng, how can she tolerate her grandson marrying someone else?"
Qin Jinhua pouted: "No one wants to marry Cousin Xu, okay? Cousin Xu...... In my opinion, he is no different from my own brother. I know that he has been polite to me since I was a child, as if he cared for me, but when his grandmother disliked me, she didn't see him say a few kind words for me, let alone come to me to compensate me, not even a word of comfort! I'm not stupid, how could I be fooled? The girls outside think how good he is, handsome, talented, outstanding, gentle, and will have a good future in the future...... Hmph, who knows what the future holds? It's true that he is good-looking, but he is not the best one in terms of talent and learning, and he is gentle and elegant and can't be eaten, what's the big deal? He still dislikes me...... Since there are so many noble ladies who like him, and he doesn't worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, what do he always talk about me? Who is impatient to be talked about with him all the time? I have nothing to do with him!"
The little girl also has a temper. Qin Jinhua has been pampered since he was a child, where did he get these angers? Even if he originally had some cousin friendship with Xu Zheng, it has long since dissipated.
Qin Han could really understand Qin Jinhua's mood, and hurriedly comforted her a few words, and then followed her tone, blackened Xu Zheng and the Xu family, and made Qin Jinhua angry.
However, Qin Jinhua was angry, but he began to have the spirit to turn his head and persuade Qin Hanzhen: "Not everyone in the Xu family is so bad, Cousin Xu is quite kind and a decent person." And cousin Rong, he's always treated me very well......"
Qin Hanzhen was excited, and hurriedly asked her: "Do you still think that Xu Rong is very good to you? Then what do you think of him? Don't tell me, you don't know what the idea of the second room of the Xu family is." ”
Qin Jinhua shrunk his neck, pursed his lips, and then whispered, "I know, but so what? I can't marry him." It's just to have more fun while everyone can still meet now. Don't worry, I have the rules in mind, and I won't let people see jokes. ”
Qin Hanzhen was skeptical: "What you said is true?" But Qin Jinhua's behavior sometimes is really suspicious, making people think that she will have a good impression of Xu Rong.
Qin Jinhua said: "Of course it's true. On Cousin Xu's side, now that the two families are in such a stalemate, and Miss Lu will soon enter Beijing, I naturally won't marry again. As for Cousin Rong...... He would have been impossible. No matter how well he treats me, he can only be a playmate for me. Although the Xu family and our family are relatives, and my grandmother has always favored their family, the second room of the Xu family is different from the Xu family's room, the second master Xu's official position is too low, and Cousin Rong does not even have a reputation. Even if the Xu family does not split up in the future, the second room of the Xu family can continue to claim to be a high-ranking official, and it is impossible for my parents to agree to the marriage. Not because of my mother's quarrel with Xu Er's grandmother, but ...... I am also the granddaughter of Cheng Enhou and the niece and granddaughter of the queen's mother, if I marry a white body, how will I live in the future? I am now friendly with the third sister, Sister Cai, and Sister Yu, but if I marry a husband with a white body, I am afraid that I will not even have a place to stand in front of you in the future. How will outsiders laugh at me? What will my mother have to face in the future?"
Qin Jinhua has an innocent temperament and is pampered, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid. The eldest lady of the Chengenhou Mansion has her own considerations for her marriage. She will not get carried away because of love and do stupid things that are not in line with her identity and decency. Xu Rong was gentle and considerate to her, coaxing her very happy, of course she was happy. However, she knows what it means to marry Xu Rong. Therefore, a playmate is a playmate, and marriage is a marriage, Qin Jinhua has a clear distinction in his heart. No matter who she marries in the future, the other party's family background, family background, talent, and character must be above a certain standard, and she must not embarrass the old Qin family and Queen Qin.
Qin Jinhua is the daughter of the Qin family, and her way of thinking may be different from that of the Xu family.
Qin Hanzhen listened to her words and immediately calmed down. In this way, as long as Qin Zhonghai can be stable, there will be no big mistakes in Qin Jinhua's marriage. Unless the second master of the Xu family is promoted to a few more levels, or Xu Rong suddenly shows outstanding talent and imperial examination luck like his cousin Xu Zheng, and takes down the talent and fame in one go, showing the potential for a bright future, it is possible to impress the Qin family a little except for the Xu family, and is willing to include him in the list of son-in-law candidates. But Qin Jinhua will be in time soon, judging from the time, Xu Rong has long had no hope, so let's go wherever it is cool.
Qin Hanzhen smiled and took Qin Jinhua's hand: "If you can figure it out, I'll be relieved." In the future, even if you don't have Xu Rong to play with you, it's nothing, you come to play with me? The fourth sister doesn't seem to be as busy as before, and we can invite her over too. ”
Qin Jinhua smiled and nodded, and remembered one more thing: "Big sister doesn't know what's going on." Now that Cousin Xu's marriage has an eyebrow, if she finds out, I don't know what she will think?"
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter what she thinks? Anyway, no matter who Xu Zheng marries, it has nothing to do with her." She pulled up Qin Jinhua and wanted to go to the main courtyard to find the Niu family together to prepare for tomorrow's events. The two sisters walked hand in hand all the way, admiring the potted flowers in the small flower beds placed along the road (Qin Hanzhen asked people to get them), and chattered and praised the spring light.
However, as soon as they entered the door of the main courtyard, they were stunned by the latest news that had just come from the East Mansion.
Mrs. Yunyang Hou invited the wife of General Min - that is, the mother of the Min family - as a big matchmaker, and came to the door to ask for the eldest son Cai Shizhi to marry Lu Yueniang, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
This came as a surprise to everyone.
