Chapter 151: Hesitation
Xiao Huang, who sent Huang Yiqiu's family to the capital, didn't mention what idea he had in his heart, and the second room would agree to cooperate with her and plan to send Huang Yiqiu to the palace as a concubine, which was a stupid idea in itself.
Not to mention that the Qin family was originally the queen's mother's family, and after the prince's health improved, his position was stable, and at this time, the Qin family sent a woman into the palace as a concubine, what did they want to do? After winning the favor of the saint, did they open up branches for the royal family? Do they want to give birth to a child to compete with the prince of the East Palace for the throne?
Now that the emperor has only one son under his knees, the harem is peaceful, which is really an ideal situation. The emperor is also old, and he does not pay attention to the harem concubines, he only needs to take care of his body, teach the prince, preside over the affairs of the court, and steadily hand over the country to his son, so that the subjects and the people can rest assured. If you add an unconscious troublemaker to the harem at this time, and let the good and stable situation make waves, whether it is the outer or inner palace, you must not want to see such a scene. In the rebellion of the year, the blood flowed in the capital, and the big families did not know how many people were killed and injured, and people who were a little old still remember the tragic scene at that time, who wants to experience such chaos again?
Moreover, the second room of the Qin family may be because of the early death of the family, it is the weakest of the three rooms, and it does not even have a title, and it is a concubine, so it has not been satisfied with the long room and the third room for a long time, and wants to get ahead and press the other two rooms. They sent people into the palace, probably just to win the favor of the saint and increase the weight of their own words. However, the second room will either send his daughter into the palace, or he will pick someone from his in-law Xue's family and send a girl surnamed Huang to do what?
Although the Huang family is the in-law of the Qin family, it is the old marquis's original wife, and they have always been closer to the long house. Even if Huang Yiqiu is not the Huang family's concubine and refuses to listen to the Huang family's orders, he will also not be at the mercy of the Qin family's second room. She can be the daughter of the side branch of the Huang family, the in-laws of the Qin family's house, the niece of the Qin family's daughter-in-law, or the granddaughter of the Xue family, but what is the matter with the second room of the Qin family?
If Huang Yiqiu really got the emperor's blue eyes after entering the palace, the second room of the Qin family would just be a meritorious service, a matchmaking merit, and the reward would be over, would they still be able to claim to be the maiden family of the favorite concubine, meet Huang Yiqiu from time to time, and use her name to make a fortune outside the palace? The Qin family was originally the queen's mother's family, if it really fell to this part, I am afraid that the face of the queen's nephew and uncle in the second room would have been lost.
Qin Bai sighed at the second room's approach, and said to the Niu family: "Although the second wife often does stupid things, but the Xue family is quite shrewd, how can they let the second wife be confused in this kind of matter? Or, because the girl is the granddaughter of the Xue family, the Xue family also has delusions? Not to mention that the emperor is not a good person, most of them don't look down on the girl's shallow knowledge, even if they really make their wishes come true in the end, can the Xue family and the Huang family's side branch still let the second wife manipulate that girl? In the end, it is just a bridge and a draw. The second room was a wasted effort, but it was thankless. It's just that the second wife was fooled, why did even Bo Fu follow the nonsense?"
Niu Shi snorted: "Who knows? Your eldest nephew is not a decent and good person. Maybe he was also stunned by the kind words of his daughter-in-law, and felt that if he could offer a beauty to the palace and win the favor of the emperor, it would be a profitable deal, so he couldn't see any risks? What do you care about what they do? After all, they have nothing to do with us, and if you stop them, they will complain against you. They want to send people to the palace, but it also depends on whether the emperor can look at it or not. I look at that girl from the Huang family, and the emperor must not look down on it. How much does it look like the queen mother? Isn't it just a face? Is the queen mother a person who only relies on one face? If it were me, I would only be more angry when I saw an unknown person dangling around on the face of my beloved, and where could I have the leisure to like him? I would like to tear that person's face!"
Qin Bai laughed when he heard it: "In this way, I can rest assured." It turns out that my wife doesn't just look at my face. ”
Niu Shi scolded him: "Let's talk about what we are doing on ourselves, and our granddaughter is still here!"
Qin Hanzhen secretly thought, it turned out that her grandmother still knew that she was here, and she thought that she had suddenly become invisible.
Regarding the practice of the second room, Qin Bai and Niu's discussed it, so they didn't mention it again. They are now far away in Jinling, and they can't affect the second room in the capital, even if they are very disapproving, it is difficult to do anything. Besides, Qin Bai was very confident in the emperor, and he didn't think that the plan of the second room would succeed, so they could go. However, when he replied, he reminded the long room a few words, so that they should pay attention to it a little, and don't be affected by the second room. In addition, he sent a letter to Huang Jincheng, telling him that Huang Yiqiu is now in the hands of the second room of the Qin family, and asked him to signal the Huang family in Beijing to be more careful, but don't let Huang Yiqiu's family get on the fire and can't get down. The Huang family's ancestral precept that daughters cannot marry the royal family of the clan, many people know about it.
Two days later, Qin Ping's letter also arrived.
In the letter, Qin Ping wrote in detail about his exile to Guangzhou as a garrison, and also mentioned Wu Shaoying's various speculations about this appointment. It's a joke, but it also proves that this is indeed a good fat shortage. However, Qin Ping also told his father that he would never do anything corrupt, but intended to choose a few smart and capable people from his family and follow him south to Guangzhou, hoping to add some property to the family and increase income.
Qin Bai hadn't thought about it. He felt that he already had a lot of money and property on hand now, and the number of servants in the family was not large, and he might not be able to take care of it if he added an industry. Besides, money is such a thing, just enough. He lived a civilian life for thirty years, with modest daily expenses and very little material needs. It's just that Qin Ping's words also make sense, they have a simple population in the third room, live a simple life, and don't need much money, but seeing that their grandchildren are getting older, and they will start a family in the future, they will always be indispensable for silver. Save up for your children and grandchildren earlier, so that your children can live more easily in the future. Qin Ping is bent on thinking about his daughter, is he, a grandfather, not as good as a son?
There are a few capable people in the house. Uncle Hu is Qin Bai's confidant, and he has never been able to leave, so he won't mention it. Zhou Xiangnian is now the chief manager of Yongjiahou Mansion, and he is also responsible for the affairs of the whole government. His younger brother Zhou Changnian was a talented man in farm affairs, and Qin Bai had already decided to put him in charge of the management of the grange around the capital. He Xinhe's family moved to Jiangnan and has already set the position of Jiangnan governor. The only people who can be picked out in the family are Xu Yingnian and a few other old people that Mrs. Ye used to during her lifetime. Qin Bai felt that it would not be too late to wait until the eldest son came to Jinling and discussed with him, and then decided on the candidate.
The second half of Qin Ping's letter mentions Ho's death. Because the person who sent the letter was from the Yongjiahou Mansion, Qin Ping also had less worries, and directly told his father what Zhao Cheng had done in this case, and did not hide the fact that he and Wu Shaoying tied up the He family and sent it back to Zhao Jie's house, and also let people sue him. However, he also admitted frankly that although he had expected that Zhao Jie would severely punish the He family who had the intention of betraying him, he did not expect that the result would be like that in the end. He died tragically, just as karma, he still felt relieved in his heart. If He hadn't died this time, he might have done something more, right? Even Wu Shaoying wouldn't sit idly by and watch He escape safely, but that would inevitably be against his father's teachings to them. Now that they don't have to take action, the He family will first ask God to take his life, which is a good thing for everyone.
However, Wu Shaoying also persuaded him that it was best to explain the situation to Brother Zi'er, so that there was no need to hide anything, lest the child not know the situation, so that outsiders would provoke him in a few words and resentment towards his family. Qin Ping didn't know how to tell his nephew, Wu Shaoying took over this task, so he was a little worried about it, worried that Wu Shaoying would not coax the child, and he didn't know what he would say to Brother Zi'er.
Qin Bai frowned when he saw the letter, and said to his old wife: "Is Brother Ping still not close to Brother Zi'er? This is not a way, after all, it is his own nephew." He is not good, but he has nothing to do with children. How old is Brother Zi'er? You can't put He's account on him. ”
Niu said: "When they arrive in Jinling, we will persuade them slowly." It is inevitable that Brother Ping will have a pimple in his heart. Now that the He slut is dead, in another year or two, Brother Ping's anger will also disappear, so it will naturally be fine. She was originally very worried that her grandson would be sad about the death of her biological mother, but when she saw Qin Ping saying in the letter that Wu Shaoying would go to appease Brother Zi'er, she was relieved. She had a very good impression of Wu Shaoying and knew that he was a very reliable person. With his persuasion, Brother Zi'er will understand the merits of the matter.
After reading Qin Ping's letter, Qin Bai and the Niu family have nothing to worry about, they just need to wait for their children and grandchildren to come to Jinling for reunion. From time to time, Qin Bai took the time to find the officials and gentry he knew, and inquired about the situation in Guangzhou City, so that he could make some preparations for his son before taking office. Because the genealogy side is already on the right track, except for the occasional past a few classes, he basically doesn't have to worry about it at other times.
The Qin clan is now managed by one of Qin Bai's nephews, and it is managed very well, and the accounts are also clear. He had already agreed with Qin Bai that in the future, he would sort out the accounts of the clan every quarter instead of every year, and send them to the capital for the third room to see. If there is a problem with the accounts of any month, Qin Bai will soon be able to find out, and the time interval will not be long, and it will be easier to trace.
This nephew is hardworking, capable, and well-behaved, and has won many praises in the clan. Qin Bai felt that even if he left with his family now, he could rest assured that he would be able to hand over the clan study to this clan nephew. The people were on his side and supported the nephew. No one wants to let Qin Keyong return to that position and make the ethnography a miasma.
Even the patriarch of the clan acquiesced in this fact. Although he still regretted that the power of clan studies was not in the hands of the clan, he had no intention of making trouble. He's not stupid, just the clan affairs are enough for him to do. Ethnology is related to the family's 100-year plan, as long as the energy continues to cultivate excellent children, it does not matter who is in charge of ethnology. He is not so short-sighted that he only sees the power in his hands and forgets his true duty as the head of the clan.
The clan returned to peace, and the patriarch taught the second son several times as a precaution, so that he should not toss anymore, and it was better to find another way out as soon as possible. Qin Ke is still young, and he has some talent, he has been taking care of clan affairs for many years, and he has a lot of practical experience, and there is no shortage of contacts. If you are no longer bound to the clan and work hard outside, you may be able to lay down a family business, but it may not be as good as the position of a sect.
Qin Keyong hesitated a little in his heart.
