Chapter 461: Calculation
"What did you say?!" Qin Bofu looked up at his wife Xiao Xue suddenly, his face full of shock.
Xiao Xue shrank his neck, thought of his little daughter's happiness, gritted his teeth, and said stiffly: "It's true! The secret letter was stuffed into Sister Chun's hand halfway when Cailuo took someone to ask the doctor to diagnose Sister Chun's in the morning! The man covered his head and face, and couldn't see what he looked like, but he said to Cailuo, you must hand over the letter to me, saying that the content of the letter is related to our family's net worth and life! Cailuo was startled, and didn't dare to tell anyone, and quietly handed the letter to me when he came back. The letter made it clear that when the uncle and grandmother of the Pei family came to propose marriage before, the promises were all coaxing, and they couldn't do it at all! Not only could they not do it, but they also wanted to use this layer of in-law relationship to ask for help from the long house and the third room, help them suppress the second and third rooms of the Pei family, and seek a future for Uncle Pei's father and son. They deceived the master, thinking that as long as the master agreed to the family affair, even if the truth was discovered in the future, he would let his daughter out, and he would not regret it, even if the master was angry with them for breaking the contract, there was nothing to be done. This is a deliberate attempt to make us lose our wife and soldiers!"
Qin Bofu was a little angry when he heard this, but he didn't get angry immediately, he just said with a straight face: "Where is the letter? Show it to me!"
Xiao Xue hurriedly put the letter on it, Qin Bofu snatched it up, read it from beginning to end, and then read it again from the beginning, his face was already red, and he slapped the letter on the table with one palm, and scolded: "How can this be reasonable!"
The content of the letter was just as Xiao Xue said, and even reminded them not to let their daughter meet Pei Cheng, the Pei family is planning to use tricks to calculate this family business, once Qin Jinchun is in front of Grandma Pei and Pei Cheng, he may fall into the trap at any time. The Pei family's big house is because they are worried that their lies will not be able to hold on, as long as the second room of the Qin family can find out the truth after a little investigation, in order to ensure that the family affair will be completed, they will not hesitate to use conspiracy and tricks.
Xiao Xue wiped his tears with a handkerchief and choked up: "When has our family ever encountered such a thing? It's really terrifying! Master, look at this Pei Guo Mansion, where is the family that can make friends? No matter how nice the words are, they are just coaxing people! Let's honestly wait for the news of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion." Last time, at the three girls and the ceremony, Mrs. Yunyang Hou liked Sister Chun very much, presumably there will be no problems with this marriage, and there will be a quasi-letter soon. ”
In fact, Qin Bofu was angry at this time, if it weren't for Xiao Xue's mentioning the family matter of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, he wouldn't have thought much about it. However, when Xiao Xue mentioned it, Qin Bofu's suspicious heart couldn't help but move, and he looked at his wife with some hesitation, thinking that since the youngest daughter could pretend to be sick and avoid a blind date with the Pei family, it seemed that it was not impossible to forge another letter to make him angry and make him give up the Pei family's family business.
He paused, calmed down, and asked lightly: "I don't know who sent this letter, don't you have any guesses?"
Xiao Xue said with some hesitation: "There is no payment on the letter, but ...... Those who can know such secrets as the Pei family's big house must not be ordinary people. I smelled a very special aroma on the letterhead, and it smelled something like the incense on her body when I saw the second grandmother of the Pei family last time...... Ye must have heard that the second grandmother of the Pei family is a famous incense family, she often mixes incense on weekdays, and often has new recipes, so almost everyone in Beijing is willing to invite her to be a guest, even the palace and the princess's mansion are no exception. The incense on this letterhead looks very much like a new incense that she has recently developed. I know that she loves to smoke this incense every day, and I wonder if she could have inadvertently put the incense on the letterhead when she was writing a letter......"
"Incense?" Qin Bofu frowned, picked up the letter paper and smelled it, it seemed that there was indeed such a fragrance, faintly, it was not the kind that he usually smelled, but would it be too arbitrary to judge the person who wrote the letter based on the aroma?
Xiao Xue knew that the incense was definitely not the new incense exclusively matched by Pei Er's grandmother, but the smell was very similar, almost six or seven percent similar. If you meet a master of incense, you will definitely not be able to get past it, but Qin Bofu only knows a little about spices, so he is very confused, and he doesn't have to worry about being able to goof.
This letter was actually forged by Qin Hanzhen. Although she sent a letter to the second and third rooms of the Pei family, she did not come forward in person, and she did not know how much time it would take for the second and third rooms of the Pei family to take the step that the two sisters were looking forward to. In fact, as long as the responsibility for the matter is planted on the second and third rooms of the Pei family, they don't have to come forward to make things happen in person. Then a letter, as long as it reaches Xiao Xue's hands, and then let Xiao Xue's tell Qin Bofu according to the words they discussed in advance, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle. Even if the second and third rooms of the Pei family really handed over the message again, it can also be understood that the people in the two rooms went their separate ways, and they coincidentally stabbed the Pei family's room, or they handed over a secret letter, and they were not at ease, so for the sake of safety, they handed it over again. In short, the past can be explained in any way.
The incense on the letter was personally matched by Qin Hanzhen. Empress Qin was a master of incense during her lifetime, and Yongjiahou Qin Bai studied with her eldest sister for a period of time when she was a teenager, and she also knew a lot of incense recipes. Now that the family has money and leisure, he occasionally comes in a mood, and he will close a few incense pills and incense pills to play with himself, his old wife and his eldest granddaughter. Qin Hanzhen followed up and learned a little, and stumbled upon a new incense that Pei Er's grandmother was very proud of, which smelled a little similar to the finished product of an incense recipe left by Empress Qin, so he tried to match some and smoked it on the letterhead in an attempt to mix the beads.
Anyway, the aroma on this secret letter will disappear soon, and even if Qin Bofu confronts the Pei family, he won't be able to do anything - can the second room of the Pei family still admit that he stabbed Changfang in the back and destroyed the marriage between Changfang and the Qin family?
Qin Bofu also thought of this, thinking that this secret letter was true or false, but I was afraid that only the person who wrote the letter would know. If it wasn't written by someone in the second room of the Pei family, he would have asked it, and he would naturally get a negative answer. But even if the letter was written by someone in the second room of the Pei family, the result was the same. The reason why the second grandmother of the Pei family didn't sign the letter was not to prevent people from grabbing the handle? If it weren't for the incense on her body that was stained on the letterhead and recognized by Xiao Xue, the identity of the person who wrote the letter would really have become a headless unsolved case!
Unconsciously, Qin Bofu already believed his wife's statement a little.
He gritted his teeth secretly: "The Pei family is not peaceful either. The second room of the Pei family is a good thing that deliberately wants to ruin his parents' room. Can they believe their words?!" He wavered in his heart, if the content of the letter was true, of course he would not be able to agree to the Pei family's proposal, but if the content of the letter was fabricated by the Pei family's second room, just to destroy the marriage between the two of them, then he turned against the Pei family's big house at this time, which means that the benefits promised to him by the other party were all gone......
This is called how Qin Bofu does not hesitate?
Xiao Xue heard that something was wrong, and glanced at her husband in surprise: "Master, what do you mean ......?"
Qin Bofu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is the fourth girl really sick or fake?!"
Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Naturally, it's a real illness, so I will send Cailuo to ask for a doctor outside." However, Sister Chun'er's condition is not serious, drink medicine well, and raise it for two or three days, it should be fine. It's just that I thought that the content of this letter must not be believed, so I took advantage of Sister Chun'er's illness to postpone the appointment of the Buddha to worship the Buddha......"
Qin Bofu didn't say whether he believed his wife's words or not, but said: "Under the pretext of illness, you can indeed postpone the date for a few days, but sooner or later you have to go to the appointment, otherwise you will really have to turn your face with the Pei family's big house." And before he was sure that the Pei family's big house really deceived him, and he didn't have that kind of strength, Qin Bofu didn't want to turn his face with Uncle Pei.
Xiao Xue looked at her husband in disbelief: "But...... If the Pei family's big house really set a trap to calculate Sister Chun'er as stated in this letter, wouldn't Sister Chun'er's life be ruined......?
Qin Bofu waved his hand: "Even if the Pei family's big house really wants to design the four girls, it must have that opportunity." If you listen to me, then let the four girls follow you closely, and you can't leave you even a step. After the completion of the meeting, I proposed to Uncle Pei and asked him to help me recover! I will not agree to him or anything until I recover. If he didn't have that ability, the marriage would naturally be over. When the time comes, whether it is the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion or other noble families, I will never marry the four girls casually. You just have to rest assured, you can't be wronged by your daughter!"
Xiao Xue's face gradually turned pale, and she seemed to have realized something: "That...... So what if Uncle Pei really revives him?"
"Then naturally I want to marry the four girls. Qin Bofu frowned and looked at his wife, "I'm not the kind of person who turns his face when he gets a benefit." If Pei Da has the ability to make me recover, he naturally has the ability to get me down, and I am not stupid! If the Pei family really has such ability, the four girls will not lose money when they marry in the past! It is better than her marrying the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, but my father can't get any benefits. ”
Xiao Xue bit her lip, glanced at her husband quietly, didn't say anything, and turned around to leave.
Qin Bofu stopped her again: "On the day we met, don't forget to bring the big girl with you." ”
Xiao Xue was a little cold: "She just wants to go out and relax, I will go out tomorrow as usual to worship the Buddha, just take her around the temple, why let her get involved in Sister Chun's affairs again?"
Qin Bofu said: "She also has some ideas about this family business, and she just came to tell me that if the four girls are not happy, let her be on top." Anyway, she broke her leg and had a bad reputation, and now she has become an old girl, and it is even more difficult to marry into a good family, and now it is better to be a shield for her sister. After looking at each other, if the Pei family's big house wants to set the marriage as soon as possible, I can put forward the conditions for resumption, and at the same time let them help the eldest girl talk about a family matter. Anyway, the Pei family still has connections, find a similar family, and marry the big girl. Regardless of whether the Pei family is capable or not, they have to do at least one of my two conditions, right?"
Xiao Xue was stunned: "This ...... This ......," she took two deep breaths, "Sister Yi...... Besides, how could she agree to let her decide on Sister Yi's marriage?"
Qin Bofu said impatiently: "If my mother has the ability to marry off the eldest girl, I naturally don't have to worry about it." But doesn't she have that ability? If she doesn't marry a big girl, how can we marry the four girls? No matter whose family the Pei family is looking for at that time, as long as they look decent and the family is powerful, it doesn't matter if they fill the house or whatever. If the Pei family can't even do this little thing, then it's better not to come to Xiao to think about our Qin family's daughter!"
