Chapter 125: Inquiring
Qin Bai still didn't want his second son to return to the capital. He didn't think the right time was right yet.
Niu's rarely scolded: "It's not the right time yet? When is it appropriate?!I know that you complain about Brother An in your heart, and you always feel that he is confused, and you connived at He's ***, which caused Brother Ping's daughter-in-law to be gone." But now that so many years have passed, Brother An has married someone else, and he is about to have a child, and he has never made any more mistakes, he has gone wrong, his life is good, and he is becoming more and more sensible, how long do you still want to be angry with him? You can't really tell your son not to go home for the rest of his life, right? You just think it's for the sake of your daughter-in-law and grandson, stop punishing him, okay? He has been ...... in the past few years. It's not easy!" she choked up as she spoke.
Except that when Qin An remarried that year, she went to Datong with her husband, and she has not seen this son for so many years. It was the flesh that fell from her body after all. If there is no reunion, how can she not feel bad? Even if she was angry with him again, it was a few years ago.
When Qin Bai saw the appearance of his old wife, he felt a little uncomfortable. He said in a low voice: "Brother Ping hasn't remarried yet." He was alone outside, with no one around to take care of him, let alone a son. Han Zhen has been with you and me at a young age to do her filial piety, and she is no worse than adults in her words and deeds, and she is outstanding in everything, but some people outside still say that she is gossiping, disgusting her as a widowed eldest daughter, and refusing to come to the door to say goodbye. Don't you feel distressed when you look at their father and daughter like this now? Although Brother An can't go home, after he remarries, his life is getting better and better, and he is many times luckier than his brother and niece. You say, can I call him home because I pity him? Then how do you and I face Brother Ping and Hanzhen?"
When Niu Shi heard this, his eyes turned red again: "Aren't you poking my heart with this?" I said a long time ago that I wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for Brother Ping, but he refused to ask for it, and after persuading him too much, he hid and refused to see anyone. He was an official outside, thousands of miles away from home, and I couldn't persuade him. finally went to Lingnan once, and he was able to reason with him every day, and he deduced that he was busy with official business, and he didn't even have time to come back from home. I also asked my granddaughter to tell me to stop persuading him to marry a wife, because their father and daughter were finally reunited, but because he didn't want to listen to my long-windedness, my granddaughter couldn't see her father, what if their father-daughter relationship broke up? What could I do? I had to shut up! I really don't know, how could I give birth to these two uneasy obstacles? One is too idealess, and the other is too idea-free, and they are both worrying about marrying a daughter-in-law. ”
Qin Bai sighed: "Brother Ping has a knot, and you don't know it. After all, Brother Ping's daughter-in-law ...... I died too miserably at the beginning, and I was really wronged. Brother Ping thought that he was just going to the capital to do some errands, and it wouldn't take long for the family to be reunited, but who knew that what was waiting for was the death of his daughter-in-law...... He actually regretted it a little, he only asked Brother An and his wife to talk, but he didn't tell Brother An more. Brother An didn't care either, so he just entrusted the matter to the He family. After arriving in the capital, Brother Ping did not send a letter home. If he had already heard from him at that time, maybe his daughter-in-law would not have committed suicide, then He naturally wouldn't dare to talk nonsense and bully his concubine. Brother Ping can't get over it in his heart, and he wants to stay for his daughter-in-law for two more years, so why do you bother to be verbose?"
Niu Shi choked up and said: "How can I not be verbose? Brother Ping is in his thirties, and he doesn't even have a son, what will he do when he gets old in the future? He is our eldest son, and he will always inherit the incense of our third room, right? Han Zhen will be married next year, and she will get married in a few years, and if she doesn't have a maiden brother to support her, what if she is bullied by her husband's family in the future? How can I not be in a hurry? Brother Ping feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, and I also feel sorry for my daughter-in-law. But after three years of guarding, he has already done his best, and he still refuses to marry again, how long do he want to be willful? If this continues, the grandsons of the long house will be able to marry wives and have children, and my little grandson will not know where it is!" as she spoke, her tears fell even harder.
Qin Bai said helplessly: "Brother Ping's remarriage, where is it so easy for you to say? At his age, what kind of wife can he marry? The young girl is not a few years older than Han Zhen, and it is embarrassing to get along with each other when she enters the door." If you are older and more stable, you have to beware of whether the girl has a bad heart, so she will drag on until now she is not married. If you are a woman who is remarried, you will most likely be wronged for your son in your heart, and you are reluctant to have a daughter-in-law who remarries. Even if you choose someone who satisfies you in everything, after she enters the door, you still have to worry about how she will deal with the truth. What if she is a tricky person who can't tolerate people, what if she bullies Han Zhen? All these things make people can't help but get bored when they think about it, so it's better to let Brother Ping go. He didn't want to marry, so he wouldn't marry. If one day he feels that such a day is not good, he will worry about himself. ”
Niu was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Master Hou, what are these words? Brother Ping is no longer right to mess around, you still want to indulge him! I don't believe that he can't find a good girl." Not to mention anything else, Sister Fang of the Huang family is still unmarried today, isn't it a good marriage ready-made? I have wanted to propose marriage to the Huang family several times, but I am afraid that Brother Ping will commit a bullish left-mindedness. I said goodbye to him here, but when he found out, he turned his face and refused to admit it, and his good relatives were about to become enemies! I couldn't bear to ask Sister Fang to let people talk again. She met an inhuman, had a difficult marriage, and stumbled to this day. It's because I like this girl that I want her to be my daughter-in-law. But if she is blamed by Brother Ping for no reason because of this, wouldn't it be my sin?"
Qin Bai said helplessly: "There is no shadow yet, what do you say?" The girl of the Huang family is far away in Jinling, but you know her news so well, needless to say, you must have instructed Shaoying to do things for you." He was a dignified court official, born as a scholar, with outstanding knowledge and ability, and learned that the government was trustworthy, and he was about to be promoted to the sixth grade. If you let people know that he is always paying attention to the news of the girl who has not left the cabinet, he will be discredited and offend the Huang family. Why did you bother him?"
Niu Shi muttered: "I didn't specifically tell him, I just asked him to pay more attention to the news of the Huang family, I didn't expect him to be so sincere...... In fact, he is also worried about Brother Ping, and he also agrees that Brother Ping will marry a girl with good character and good temper like Sister Fang to continue the strings, at least he can get along well with Han Zhen. If it is different, God knows what kind of temperament it is? For Hanzhen, his nephew's daughter, he has always thought very carefully and meticulously. ”
Qin Bai sighed: "I have already written a letter, telling him to concentrate on official business, and he doesn't have to worry about who others marry when he is free, but he has to think about himself, it's almost time to marry a wife and have children, and what needs to be done must be done." Brother Ping was reluctant to remarry because he couldn't let go of his wife. Shaoying is still married for the first time, but she is not sure for a long time, what will it be? You don't always talk about the Huang family's girl, Brother Ping hasn't nodded for a day, you are not good at advocating. Otherwise, there will be a bad thing in the future, which will affect Miss Huang's reputation, why are you embarrassed to meet her?"
Niu Shi sneered, flattened his mouth, and then said, "I don't mention her...... But I really think Sister Fang is quite suitable, but I can't let her meet Brother Ping. If Brother Ping knew that there was such a talented and good-looking girl in this world, he might not be so stubborn and unwilling to marry again. ”
Qin Bai said angrily: "You can just say these words in front of me, don't mention them in front of your granddaughter." She must have been sad to hear it. ”
Niu's face was dumbfounded, and he turned to bring up the original theme of this conversation again: "The matter of Brother An's transfer back to Beijing ......"
Qin Bai said: "Don't worry, at the end of the month, General Ma's birthday banquet, our family also got a post, just go and inquire when the time comes." We always have to figure out whether it is really something and whether it is good for Brother An's future, so that we can make a decision. ”
He still didn't want his second son to come back to the capital. Qin An's temperament is a little difficult to mix in Datong, and it will only become more and more difficult to mix in the capital. Even if it is to follow General Ma to Beijing, it may not be a good thing. Although Qin Bai didn't know much about the inside story, he could guess that with General Ma's status, qualifications and talents, he would be transferred from Datong to the capital at this time, and there were really not many seats left for him. There was a suitable position on the side of the three major battalions in Jingxi, and there was also a bit of a shortage of people on the side of the city guards. But there have long been rumors in Beijing that these two places are ownery, and most of them are to be left to the father and son of Zhenxi Hou. Su Boxiong, the prince of Zhenxi Hou, and General Ma can compete with each other in terms of age, skill, seniority in the army, and meritorious achievements. The emperor wants to transfer General Ma back to Beijing, could it be that he wants him to replace the original errand of the Hou Shizi of Zhenxi?
The husband and wife of Zhenxi Hou are now becoming more and more unsophisticated, and some words are really taboo, and it is common for the emperor to deliberately knock a few words, after all, they are also in-laws who have turned a corner. But if the emperor really changed his mind and put the errands that were originally arranged for Zhenxi Hou's father and son, all of them cheapened General Ma, wouldn't the two families fight?
Qin Bai couldn't help but sigh. He only begged the second son not to be really so stupid, and made a pioneer for others.
When Qin Bai and the Niu couple discussed the continuation of the eldest son and the transfer of the younger son, Qin Han was really in his yard and carefully instructed his eldest girl to go to the mother-in-law who sent the message to Datong to inquire about the details of the fifth uncle's family.
She wanted to know why Xiao Feng was three months pregnant before she noticed something was wrong? Even if Mama Lu was sick and didn't wait by her side, she still had several girls. If Xiao Feng is pregnant, then whether she has changed her wash during menstruation, the girls around her must know. Mama Lu's illness is a force majeure, but what about those girls? Among them, some of them have been used by Xiao Feng's family since childhood, some of them were given by Feng, the head of the Qin family's house, some were sent by the Marquis of Beijing, and one was bought in Datong. These four people have different backgrounds, but they should all be loyal girls, how did they make such a big mistake?
