Mrs. Chengenhou Xu soon found out that she had spoken too early - who said that Mrs. Xihou of the in-law town would not be a moth?!

After all the juniors were sent to play in the warm pavilion, Qin Youyi specially left her eldest nephew Qin Jian behind, but made a request to her mother Xu, two sisters-in-law, and a nephew.

She wanted her mother's family to help transfer her father-in-law, Xihou, from the southwest border back to the capital.

Qin Youyi said with a cautious face: "I never say a soft word to our juniors on the fair day, or the eldest uncle wrote a letter to my mother-in-law in private, and we only learned at home, it turns out that my father-in-law has been on the southwest border for more than ten years, and the old injuries on his body have been good and bad, and there are signs of aggravation in recent years." The climate over there is hot and humid, and there is a lack of clothes and medicine, not to mention the hard life, and it is not easy to diagnose and treat old injuries on the body. My father-in-law is now almost sixty years old, and no matter how strong his body is, he can't hold on. This year, his body seems to be a little weaker than usual, and when the old injury hits, he can barely walk. He is still an old man, and he has to ride and walk around as usual in front of outsiders. Except for the soldiers and uncles who were waiting closely, outsiders didn't know anything. The eldest uncle is worried that his old man will not be able to recuperate, but he is afraid that his longevity will hinder him......"

Chengenhou's wife Xu Shi frowned when she heard this: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Zhenxihou also returned to the capital to report on his work a few years ago. If he took the initiative to open his mouth at that time, we would enter the palace again to help beat the side drum, and the emperor would know about it, so naturally he would not force Zhenxihou to release him with an injury. Now that he is far away in the southwest, he is guarding the border, and I heard that the mountain people on the southwest side are about to make some trouble from time to time, where can he leave easily? Besides, their entire Su family army is stationed in the southwest, how can they do it without the Su family with them? Or do you plan to let Zhenxihou come back and ask your uncle to continue to garrison in the southwest?"

Qin Youyi said: "Uncle heard the news in the army, the Tao is that the Shu King's family has all been resettled in Beijing, and the old generals of Shu will soon be moved to other places as officials, the garrison will be transferred to Yungui, and the Su family army will be transferred from the southwest to Shu to be stationed. The prime minister inquired in the court, and this news should be true. If this is the case, before the change of guard, the emperor will definitely summon his father-in-law back to the court. If you can take advantage of the situation to keep your father-in-law in Beijing and treat old injuries, there may be hope for healing. As for Su Jiajun...... she paused, "Xianggong has discussed it with me, and it's okay for him to take over in the past." Shu is always much more comfortable than the southwest border, and he won't suffer too much if he goes. ”

Xu Shi was taken aback: "What did you say?!Zhongying wants to be sent out to Shudi?!"

Qin Youyi pursed her lips: "Although it is far away from the capital, it is not a bad thing. If the husband doesn't let go, try to be on his own, it will not be easy to be promoted in the future, after all, there is still a big uncle in front. Moreover, the eldest uncle has been following his father-in-law, and has been on the southwest border for more than ten years, and he has suffered enough, and it is time to return to Beijing to enjoy a few years of Qingfu. He and his sister-in-law only have two daughters under their knees, and they have no heirs yet, so they should also consider incense in the future. The mother-in-law attaches great importance to the eldest son and grandchild, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to endure it anymore. ”

Xu didn't speak, Yao and Min looked at each other, their expressions were a little subtle.

The eldest daughter-in-law of Zhenxi Hou Mansion, her mother's family is quite important, and she is also a famous family, and her father is also an official to the governor, and she is very powerful. Her mother's ancestral home is in Shudi, because it is relatively close to Yungui, after she gave birth to two daughters in succession, and then conceived a male fetus, but after a miscarriage halfway, her mother's family specially took her back to recuperate, and did not let her go back to the southwest for several years, and even the two daughters of her and the eldest son of Zhenxi Hou were raised in the family outside. Mrs. Zhenxihou has long been dissatisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law, but because the other party's mother's family is powerful and she has been away with her husband, she has not set rules in front of her mother-in-law for a few days, and she can't manage it if she wants to. Originally, she wanted to take her granddaughter back to her to raise her, but her husband and eldest son ignored the internal affairs, and the eldest daughter-in-law directly pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not reply to her letters, nor did she see the family she sent, she was angry again, and she was helpless.

The reason why Mrs. Zhenxi Hou is so strict with her second daughter-in-law is difficult to say whether it is because she was stimulated by her eldest daughter-in-law. It is very likely that she saw that her eldest daughter-in-law was too clingy to her mother's house, and even left her husband to live in her parents' house for a few years, causing her eldest son to stay alone in the empty house, so she strictly guarded the second daughter-in-law's mother's house, and couldn't wait to cut off Qin Youyi's contact with the Qin family.

To put it simply, Qin Youyi was most likely affected by her concubine.

In theory, the daughter-in-law of the Su family did a little excessive, but Mrs. Zhenxi Hou was suspected of being unreasonably angry with the innocent. There is something wrong with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Qin Youyi has been affected. Yao and Min, as Qin Youyi's sisters-in-law, have long known the inside story, and they don't have much affection for Su's daughter-in-law. Now after listening to my sister-in-law's words for the sake of my sister-in-law, I feel a little awkward in my heart.

Qin Youyi continued to speak to the Xu family: "Mother, if the long house has no heirs, it is difficult to guarantee that the mother-in-law will not have the idea of succession in the future. Besides, my sister-in-law is not unable to give birth, she also gave birth to two daughters, if it weren't for the fact that life in the southwest was too hard, which made her have a miscarriage, maybe she would have given birth to a son a long time ago. She has been staying at her parents' house for many years to raise her health, and she must have already improved, but she couldn't bear to see her two daughters go back to the southwest to suffer, so she stayed at her parents' house. If the father-in-law can be recalled to the court, and the eldest uncle will also be transferred back to the capital, there is no need for the eldest sister-in-law to continue to live in her mother's house with her nieces. They can go back to their homes in the capital to recuperate, and their sister-in-law can also reunite with their eldest uncle and strive to conceive another child as soon as possible. In this way, they are at ease, and we can also be relieved, and we are all happy?"

Xu's complexion changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "What you say also makes sense. "The Su family has no tradition of taking concubines, and although Mrs. Zhenxi Hou, the mother-in-law, treats her daughter-in-law strictly, she has never stuffed anyone into her son's room. Even her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have been separated for many years, and she did not send any room to her eldest son because she felt sorry for her son, insisting that the heir should be the best. However, it is precisely because her eldest son has been alone in the empty house for many years, and there is no intimate person to take care of her life in the southwest, she also added to her dislike for her eldest daughter-in-law, and she thought that it was a very dereliction of duty for her eldest daughter-in-law to hide back to her parents' house to enjoy happiness, and she was ashamed to be a wife and daughter-in-law.

Xu Shi thought for a while and said to his youngest daughter: "If your concubine can really give birth to a son, it will also be good for your husband and wife." It's just that you've figured it out? It's not a fuel-efficient lamp! You two haven't been together for much time before, and if you live together now, you may not be her opponent in case of a quarrel. She is a person who even dares to ignore her mother-in-law, and she has the support of her mother's family. You can't come back a few times a year, and you don't even have a letter on weekdays, so there's really something wrong, Zhongying is not at home, and we may not be able to help you in time. Aren't you afraid that you will be wronged when the time comes?"

Qin Youyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be afraid." If the eldest uncle is really transferred back, and the father-in-law will let him out to take the Su family army, I will go with him, and even the two children will be brought with me. The family is reunited and living outside, and it is more relaxed. ”

When Min heard this, he suddenly smiled: "This is a good idea. If you remain in the capital, you will have to be under the control of your mother-in-law. But if you go outside, you husband and wife are in charge of themselves, who can still press on your head? You can also take the opportunity to take a breath. ”

Yao Shi said with some worry: "It is true that you can live a more relaxed life outside, but where is it more comfortable than Beijing? Besides, now that Youyi is in Beijing, even if she rarely goes back to her parents' home, there are still so many times a year after all." If Youyi had followed her brother-in-law to Shudi, wouldn't it have been even more difficult for Madame to see her daughter? In the past few years, Madame has become more and more eager to wear autumn water. ”

Qin Youyi glanced at her eldest sister-in-law, ignored it, and only turned her head to Xu Shi and said, "Mother, since I got married, I rarely ask for the door of my mother's house. In any case, my father-in-law's old injury has been delayed, and it is important to transfer his old man back to Beijing as soon as possible. Other matters can be discussed later. ”

Xu sighed and said, "It's not that you don't know that our family almost doesn't care about the things of the court now. Your two elder brothers are also doing some five- or six-grade official positions in the yamen, and they just do errands honestly, and they rarely have the opportunity to meet the emperor, let alone meddle in such military and political affairs. What an important position is the general of the southwest garrison? It is really not something that we, the women of the back house, can easily interfere with. If he really asks for the emperor, he must also tell the old wound about the old injury, so that the emperor can keep him. If he refuses to speak, who can go to the emperor and ask for grace?"

Qin Youyi hurriedly said, "I heard that the third uncle is often called into the palace now?"

Xu Shi understood when he heard it, and looked at his little daughter with disgust: "Do you want your third uncle to ask for this grace for your father-in-law?" But your third uncle has never interfered in court affairs, so he will be respected by the emperor, the prince and the courtiers. You want your third uncle to make an exception, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. Instead of bothering about that, it is better to let Zhong Ying write by herself, confess your father-in-law's old injuries, and ask the emperor for mercy!"

Qin Youyi lowered her head in embarrassment: "This ...... How dare we? If my father-in-law's temper had been willing to accept this soft one, my mother-in-law would have spread the news of his old injuries a long time ago, and she would have asked her father-in-law to write a letter and ask the emperor for a few doses of good medicine to cure his injuries. ”

Xu was really embarrassed in his heart. She never imagined that this in-law had never opened her mouth to the Qin family, but once she opened her mouth, it turned out to be such a difficult thing to do. If it is something that can be solved by their long house, it is fine, but they still ask for the third room......

Xu couldn't help but look at the eldest grandson, Qin Jian, and vaguely understood why the youngest daughter wanted to leave this child to observe: "Brother Jian'er, what do you think? Can you reveal a few words in front of your third uncle and ask him to help with this?"

Qin Jian frowned and said, "This ...... I'm not sure. The third uncle never mentioned these things to the emperor, and even the official positions of the two uncles, he never spoke to the emperor, and once asked the emperor not to be promoted to the fifth uncle's official. If you ask his old man to ask for grace for our in-laws in the longhouse......"

He was also in a dilemma, so he could only make one suggestion: "Or ...... Invite the third sister over, tell her what happened, and let her give it a try?"

Everyone was surprised: "Three girls, what can she know as a child?"

Qin Jian smiled, her expression was a little meaningful: "Don't underestimate the third sister too much, what does she not understand?"
