Chapter 389: Father and Daughter

Qin Ping couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Hanzhen, I'm your father, why do you seem to be more partial to your cousin?"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "My cousin didn't do anything wrong, now it's your father who lied to your grandmother, leaving a hidden danger, so I asked you to come, even if I am biased towards my cousin, what's wrong?"

This seems to make sense, but Qin Ping is still a little jealous: "You, it seems that you are closer to your cousin." ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, stretched out his hand to hold his father's arm, and said angrily: "Who told your father to stay with me for a few days after he left? When you were a child, you didn't like to be at home, so you went to the side...... Isn't it normal for my cousin to be very concerned about me, and if I am close, I will also be close to him? If my father is jealous, you will stay in Beijing in the future, and it will be good if you hurt me more. How can I say that you are also my father, who in the world can be closer to me than you?"

Qin Ping suddenly felt full of energy, and the joy in his heart couldn't be concealed: "You're right, there is no one in the world who is closer to you than me, let alone your cousin, even Guanglu can't make it." You are my flesh and blood, and you only got along less in the past, which is also my father's fault. Daddy will hurt you more in the future. If you have anything you want, just tell your father. Thinking that his daughter would get married next year, he couldn't help but sigh again. If it weren't for the fact that the wedding date had been set and it was given by the emperor, it had been widely announced before he returned to Beijing, he couldn't help but want to propose to Zhao Mo that the marriage date be pressed back, so that he and his daughter could enjoy two more years of family fun. Anyway, Zhao Mo's kid would never dare to offend his father-in-law.

How did Qin Hanzhen know where her father had already go? She still remembered the business she had come to Qin Ping: "Dad, you said that you are coaxing your grandmother now, but this matter is not a long-term solution. When your cousin's marriage is decided, and your grandmother doesn't have to worry about everything, she will definitely ask you about the marriage. Even if it wasn't made up immediately, what if she wanted to inquire about the girl's family beforehand? What did you use to coax her? Do you want to talk about the situation of a certain official in Lingnan, or do you make it up? But don't forget, grandmother doesn't have nowhere to inquire about the news. If she asked her grandfather to inquire, let's just convince my grandfather again, and everything will be easy to say. But what if she asks the wives and grandmothers of relatives and friends to inquire? But if the information is correct, you really want to marry that girl! Otherwise, while there is still time, hurry up and find a way to solve this trouble!"

Qin Ping was furious by his daughter's words: "No, right? Lingnan is so far away...... Even if you do hear anything, it will be at least two months before it reaches your grandmother's ears. By then, your cousin's marriage has already been decided, and I'm afraid that even the wedding will be completed, even if your grandmother debunks me, it will not be a big deal. When the time comes, I only said that I was afraid that your grandmother would ask me, so I just prevaricated with words, and I got mixed up, and it had nothing to do with your cousin. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him: "Father is too naΓ―ve, although grandmother is easy to coax, but she is not a fool." Besides, it was because you had a promising candidate in your heart that you rejected the Huang family's family business. At that time, the Huang family did not take the initiative to marry their daughter to their cousin, how do you explain your motive for pushing your cousin out to marry? Instead of making your grandmother suspicious at that time, it is better for you to sacrifice yourself. Anyway, you are relieved that you want to marry again, so you simply take advantage of this time to be optimistic about a candidate. Grandmother is only happy to see that you really want to get married, so why don't you care if the other party is the object of your first premise?"

Qin Ping understood his daughter's intentions at this time, and looked at Qin Hanzhen helplessly: "Now that even you are urging your father to marry again, aren't you afraid that your stepmother will treat you badly?"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "I'm going to get married next year, and then I will be the princess of the county, whoever will be my stepmother will not be stupid enough to treat me badly? To be honest, I think my mother thinks the same way, so she won't be happy to see her father guarding her alone all her life. ”

Qin Han really didn't dare to say what he really thought in his heart, Guan Rongniang actually didn't have true love for Qin Ping, and she didn't even die for him, so how could she care if he would marry again after her death? As long as her daughter was doing well, she didn't care about these at all. Now that even Wu Shaoying is going to marry a wife, Qin Ping can of course find his own happiness.

Qin Hanzhen persuaded Qin Ping again: "Look at the second uncle, now he also has a wife and a concubine, both children and daughters, a smooth career, and a bright future." He's doing so well, why can't Dad live better than him?!"

Qin Ping's nose was a little sour, he knew that his daughter felt sorry for him. How many children in the world will take the initiative to persuade their fathers to continue their chores? If they do not truly care for their fathers, they will never be able to say such things. He couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his index finger, and gently scratched his daughter's nose: "It's nonsense again." It was an intimate gesture he used to do when his daughter was very young, and now that he thinks about it, it seems like he hasn't done it for nearly a decade.

Qin Ping whispered to comfort his daughter: "Do you still have a grudge against your uncle in your heart? He is actually easy to trust the people around him and easy to be led by the nose, but he has no bad intentions, and he has always loved you very much." He has been sad for a long time, don't always worry about it, let your grandfather and grandmother find out, wouldn't it make the old man feel sad? Do you think he is doing well now, but you forget that he is not as good as Datong in the capital. He is in Datong, no one suppresses him, the personnel of the border army is simple, and there are many opportunities for meritorious service. But in the capital, there are more monks and less porridge, and your grandfather will not help him, his temperament, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions, so he can only rely on his qualifications to slowly rise up, and in terms of future, it is better to be in Datong. He may be like this in his life, but his father is stronger than him, he can be in charge of himself anyway, and he has been an errand in front of the emperor, whether he stays in Beijing or is released, it is easy to be promoted. What's more, my father is still the son of the world. ”

Qin Ping is not without complaints about his younger brother, but his father has deliberately suppressed his younger brother's future for him, and would rather endure the pain of separation of flesh and blood than press Qin An in Datong and not enter Beijing for several years. Qin Ping misses his father's intentions and will never show the slightest dissatisfaction with his younger brother in front of his parents. It is impossible for him to be as sincere and close to Qin An as before, but he also knows that the more generous he becomes, the more his father will favor him. Qin An seems to be happy, but in fact, his future has been shackled. As an elder brother, there is no need to get cheap and sell well.

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and he knew it in his heart. Although she still thinks that Qin An is so happy, it is quite unsightly, but Xiao Feng, Qin Hanzhu and Brother Zhuang, who can make him happy, are all innocent, no matter how much she complains about her uncle, she will not want innocent people to be unlucky. So she said, "I won't show resentment, and I won't let my grandfather and grandmother find out." It's just that Dad, you should find your happiness sooner. The better you live, the happier I am in my heart, and the less resentment I have towards my uncle. ”

This goes back to the original question. Qin Ping smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but pat his daughter's head: "People are small and big!"

Qin Hanzhen said: "I'm not small! I'm talking to you about this topic very seriously." You don't have to worry too much, before my grandmother thought that the Huang family was interested in you, so she asked the old lady of the Min family and the Yunyang Hou of the Cai family to help Uncle Wu find a suitable wife. Now that the Huang family has taken a fancy to Cousin Wu, the Min family and the Cai family can't be left behind, so you can take the top. Anyway, these two families are our relatives, and they are high-ranking families, even if they are the daughters of the side branch, they sound decent enough. We have people in both of these families, and we are not afraid that the daughter-in-law you marry back will rely on the power of her mother's family to be a demon. I'll go back and talk to the third aunt and Cousin Lu, if the two of them are optimistic about who to choose, before telling my grandmother, I should first hand over a letter to my father and me, we can investigate in advance, choose the right person, and then tell my grandmother. If my grandmother is still worried about the people you said earlier, it's a big deal for me to be coquettish and say that I prefer my stepmother who knows the roots. ”

Qin Ping really didn't know what to say, he was thinking about how to respond to his daughter's suggestion, when he felt Qin Hanzhen nudge him: "Look, my cousin is here, it must be my grandmother who asked him to discuss the marriage!" He looked up, and sure enough, he saw Wu Shaoying walking in the direction of the main courtyard under the guidance of a mother-in-law.

The father and daughter glanced at each other, and Qin Ping whispered, "Don't let your cousin know that I lied." Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Of course!" and then stepped forward together and intercepted Wu Shaoying.

Wu Shaoying's expression was very serious, and his face was not good, and he didn't know if he had received the letter in advance. Qin Hanzhen secretly screamed, and hurriedly waved his hand to send away the mother-in-law who led the way, then pulled Wu Shaoying aside and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Grandmother is looking for you for a happy event, why do you look like this?"

Wu Shaoying said solemnly to Qin Ping: "Senior brother, the Huang family's family business should be yours. It must have been that day when Miss Huang heard your words, misunderstood, and became angry in her heart, so she impulsively asked the elders to propose to my wife the words of marrying me. Qi Dafei, how can I get married to her? While the news has not yet spread, I have to quickly persuade Miss Huang to change her mind! I will go and explain the truth to my wife, and ask my wife to come forward and set things right, which is the right way!"

Qin Ping's face changed, and he grabbed his shoulder: "Are you crazy?!The Huang family has already proposed marriage, and it is you who mentioned! You refused at this time, what should you do in the future?! I have said countless times that I don't want to marry the Huang family! Why do you all turn a deaf ear?!"

Qin Hanzhen interjected in time: "Cousin, don't be confused, this matter is said to have not spread, but in fact, outsiders already know about it! Today, the third old lady of the Huang family came over with the daughter of the Min family!"

Wu Shaoying was stunned: "What?!" he paused at his feet.

Qin Han really deliberately vaguely vagueed the fact that the daughter of the Min family was actually the daughter of the Huang family, and only said: "Sure, if the Huang family wants to come to propose marriage, it is impossible for them to be a matchmaker at the same time, right?" The Min family is our Qin family's in-laws, and Mrs. Min and my grandmother are good friends, and they are the best candidates for big matchmaking. And since the Huang family invited the Min family, the Min family must know what is going on. His family has such a large population, and there are many people. If news comes out in the future that you have refused to get married, no matter whether Aunt Huang and my father can succeed or not, Aunt Huang's face will already be trampled under your feet! People outside will not know so much about the inside story, they will only think that Aunt Huang's marriage is not going well, and when she is old, even you, an old bachelor, dislike her, how will she go out to meet people in the future? Cousin, don't hurt others!

Wu Shaoying immediately retracted the leg that stepped out, and the whole person stood on the spot.
