Chapter 501: Rumors

"Help Shengnan say goodbye?" Niu looked up at his eldest granddaughter in amazement, "What do you mean?" It's the first time I've seen Shengnan today, and I like it very much, but I've never done the job of being a matchmaker?"

She smacked her lips and put down the soothing tea in her hand: "Could it be that their family has taken a fancy to your father? If she can really marry your father as a daughter-in-law, I don't have to worry about anything in the future, I'm afraid that other young girls won't look down on your father's old cabbage. If the Cai family has this meaning, it is really a great thing. I'll tell your dad about it!" he put down his tea and got up.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly stopped her, only to feel a little crying and laughing: "Grandmother, people don't mean this! Don't think too much!" After pressing the Niu family back into place, she sighed and said, "Aunt Cai Jiashengnan's marriage is a little troublesome, you should have heard about it a long time ago." Now that she has only been in Beijing for five days, I heard that the Chu family has already spread her gossip everywhere. It was obviously her previous fiancé who was treacherous first, but now it has become her marriage that was dismissed by her unruly and disrespectful future uncle...... You say that this is too much! If you want to justify this kind of thing, there is no place to reason, but if you let the rumors spread around, won't it ruin Aunt Shengnan's reputation? The Cai family chose a few good candidates for her, but under the influence of these rumors, it will be a little difficult for Aunt Shengnan to succeed in talking about her family. ”

In fact, the Cai family began to select a suitable husband for Cai Shengnan long before Yunyang Hou rectified the treacherous scumbag family. At that time, they were still thinking that the scumbag's father's previous official position was not low, and he wanted to save face for Cai Shengnan, so he breathed a sigh of relief, not only did he have to rectify this treacherous family, but also the family affairs that he said later, the man's family background could not be worse than the previous one, and the fiancé himself had to be of the same age, upright, and optimistic about the future. However, Cai Shengnan was originally an old girl, and there were very few men who met the conditions and were unmarried, and later the conditions were relaxed to continue the string but the original partner had no children, and there were a few more candidates, but they were still very limited.

And after the scumbag's family was punished, the relationship between the Cai family and the Chu family was even worse. At this point, Yunyang Hou no longer held the naïve idea of peaceful coexistence with the Chu Zhengfang clan, but was determined to make the other party suffer a little and recognize some rules. The Chu family is on the side of the scumbag, so Cai Shengnan's future husband's family cannot be easily moved by the Chu family, nor will it be affected by the Chu family. Otherwise, how can Cai Shengnan's happiness and peace be guaranteed in the future?

The number of candidates, which was already small, was suddenly cut in half.

Now the Cai family is picking and choosing, and it is found that almost all the remaining people are young talents from famous families in the army, talented and qualified, and their positions are not low, and most of them are children of the Min family and the Ma family, and some are from other families, but in terms of numbers, they are the most of the first two families. Among them, the children of the Min family are of the right age, but there may be some problems with their generation, after all, the two families also have marriages, and this kind of thing cannot be completely ignored. And the children of the Ma family are relatively more suitable, one of them is a continuation of the string, which can only be used as a secondary choice; the other is a concubine, and it is a secondary choice; and the remaining one is the most suitable, the second son, twenty-one years old, married for the first time, and all the conditions match Cai Shengnan - but his brother has some friendship with Chu Zhengfang, and the wives of the two are still distant cousins.

Military generals like to marry within the circle, and many families are in contact with each other, which is very common. Even if the Cai and Chu families fall out now, and the Ma family is in-law with the Chu family, they will not be biased towards the Chu family and alienate the Cai family. In fact, the Ma family has always disliked to meddle in the political struggle between the DPRK and China, anyway, no matter which party is in power, they have to pay tribute to the Ma family. If the Ma family intends to marry the Cai family, the Chu family has no position to oppose it.

If Cai Shengnan can successfully marry this son of the Ma family, it will be a very ideal marriage in any way. However, the other party's brother and sister-in-law are in such a situation, if Chu Zhengfang's side wants to spread negative news about Cai Shengnan, their husband and wife must be one of the first to be affected. How can the Cai family say that the other party's family is not the kind of person who is rumored? If they can't even pass this hurdle, then there is no need to mention kissing or something.

Qin Hanzhen talked for a long time, and finally made the Niu family understand what was going on: "So, the Cai family thinks that our family has a better relationship with the Ma family, so they want me to help explain and explain, so that their family can't misunderstand Shengnan, right?

Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded: "That's what Sister Cai means." However, because several ladies and wives of the Ma family also came to the banquet today, Mrs. Yunyang Hou and Mrs. Cai San were not good at saying it in person, so they had to let Sister Cai come to me in private. They would come to their grandmother for another reason. The child of the Ma family they fancy actually has a good relationship with his father, and he has worked with his fifth uncle in Datong for several years, and he was only transferred back to the capital last year. The Cai family thinks that if you are willing to go out, and with the help of your father and the five uncles and two brothers, you will definitely be able to explain the whole thing clearly. In fact, to put it bluntly, the rumors are not tenable at all, although Mrs. Chu Zhengfang and the young grandmother of the Ma family are cousins, their relationship is not close. If my grandmother was willing to come forward, it wouldn't be difficult to do. ”

Niu thought for a while: "Okay...... Since they are all so sincere and begging to come to the door. Actually, I think it's okay for Mrs. Yunyang Hou to tell me in person, and I don't need to let the juniors relay it. ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "But grandmother, you are not available all day today, Mrs. Yunyang Hou and Mrs. Cai San have not found a chance to talk to you alone, if Sister Cai does not come to relay, how can they beg you?"

Niu Shi laughed when he heard this, and was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I think that Shengnan's girl is really good, if your father can marry her as a daughter-in-law, it will be great." But if people don't mean that, and give Katsuo a good idea of the next family, I won't be able to speak. You also know that your father is old and a continuation of the strings, where can he compare to other young men?!"

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but smile and nodded. It's really not comparable, Qin Ping's charm is not so great, and he can attract the eyes of all unmarried girls just by virtue of his identity as the prince of Yongjiahou.

Niu accepted the Cai family's request. She felt that this was not a difficult thing to do, and seeing that the Cai family was pleasing to the eye, she readily agreed. Qin Hanzhen didn't have to worry about the follow-up in the next step, she began to change the topic, and informed her grandmother of the gossip she heard at the banquet, just to listen to gossip. Niu listened to it with great interest, and by the way, he also told Qin Hanzhen the news he received. The grandfather and grandson exchanged with great interest, until their grandfather Qin Bai walked in from outside.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly got up to greet him: "Grandfather, have you sent Shoushanbo's family away?

Qin Bai sat down next to his old wife, took the warm tea presented to him by his eldest granddaughter, took a sip, and said lightly: "It's okay." Brother Jane, this child, is still smart. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, guessing in his heart whether this was a good word or something else, so he heard Qin Bai say to Niu: "Brother Jian'er's marriage, I'm afraid it's not far away." You take inventory of the treasury in your spare time, and prepare a congratulatory gift, it is best to pick some ancient books or gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, I think Brother Jian and his future mouth should like it. Of course, you can't pick something too precious. "He is reluctant to give things that are too precious!

Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Bai with some surprise: "What does grandfather mean by this?" Could it be that Shoushan Bo ...... him" Niu's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Is it true?!"

Qin Bai smiled: "Uncle Yu didn't say anything, but ...... Shoushan Bofu should set a family affair for his daughter in the near future. Brother Jian happened to be at the right time, and it just so happened that he was still clever, and he had been studying hard in the past few years, so he would get into Uncle Yu's eyes. In the past, he would have dared to think about it!"

Qin Hanzhen heard that something was wrong: "Has something happened recently? Why did Shou Shanbo want to marry his daughter recently?" She subconsciously remembered that Lu Yueniang took Cai Yuanzhen to talk around at the banquet, and she felt strange at that time, the Cai family has always had a tradition, and their children will marry later, Cai Yuanzhen is still young, even if she wants to see each other in advance, she doesn't have to come forward in person, right?

Qin Bai's expression was faint, and he seemed to be a little unhappy: "It's nothing, it's just that some people in Beijing have been discussing it recently, thinking that if they want to draft for the East Palace and extend the royal heir, then the biological mother of the future emperor and grandson should not be selected from people with low status, but should choose the daughter of a famous family, otherwise how can she be worthy of being the mother of the imperial heir? This is a remark made against Chen Liangyuan's low background, which was not worth mentioning. It's just that some people seem to be deliberately fueling such rumors, and some people mention the ladies of the right age in several famous families in Beijing, and they don't know what they want. ”

Shou Shanbo planned to marry his daughter because he wanted to avoid suspicion. Yun Yanghou probably has a similar idea, right?

Qin Han was really surprised. She is usually more homely, Zhao Mo is not there, and several cousins have not told her, she is relatively slow to all kinds of gossip outside, and she has really not heard similar rumors before. She was a little puzzled: "What does the person behind him want to do? Is it because Chen Liangyuan is not pleasing to the eye?"

Niu Shi didn't agree with her guess: "No, right? Then it's better to say something bad about Chen Liangyuan, because she is not from a high background, so it doesn't matter, but if you think that the daughter of a famous family is more suitable, isn't it just the opposite of the intention of the queen mother and the emperor? When the emperor ordered the draft, he made it clear that he would only select people from the daughters of low-ranking officials and the daughters of commoner families. This means that you don't want the chosen girl to threaten the crown princess by taking advantage of the emperor's grandson's power, right?"

Niu has also been a noble lady for a few years now, although she doesn't take care of things much, but thanks to the blessing of her husband, granddaughter and grandson-in-law, she still has some thoughts about the nobles in the palace, and she also hit the point.

Qin Han really thought about it and hesitated a little: "Should it be...... Is there a daughter of a family who wants to enter the East Palace, so she deliberately creates this kind of public opinion, so that the queen mother and the emperor can relax the selection conditions, right? The Pei family is still in filial piety, which family can't think so much this time?"
