Pei Cheng cautiously looked around to make sure that no one would hear his words, and then replied in a low voice: "I'm going to find the king of Suning County. Didn't my father ask me to talk to him? Unfortunately, I didn't find anyone. ”

It's really strange, today is the birthday of the fiancée of the king of Suning County, because the men in today's guests are either elders of relatives and friends, or young people from relatives or acquaintances, the Qin family did not prohibit male guests from entering and leaving the main hall, but only separated the male and female guests slightly. The king of Suning County grew up in the future father-in-law's family, and he often came to the door on weekdays, and he was very attentive, why didn't he watch the ceremony at the scene?

Pei Yin said disapprenously: "Father's plan is not a good idea. In the past, the king of Suning County was a very long family, but now there is news in the palace that the East Palace is going to be drafted? If the East Palace enters the newcomer and has a real little emperor and grandson, it will be impossible for the king of Suning County to succeed, and he will be a vassal king at best in the future, and he will have to return to the fiefdom sooner or later. What good can my father do to my brother if he asks him to befriend? If you have this time, why don't you talk to Cai Shizi more, maybe he will introduce Yunyang Hou to you if he sees his brother well?"

Pei Cheng glanced at his sister helplessly: "What do I want to know Yunyang Hou for?" I have been studying since I was a child, and I don't plan to be a military attaché. ”

Pei Yin pursed her lips: "The Cai family has also studied since childhood, and there are not only military attachés on the city guard's side." My brother has also learned to ride and shoot, as long as he can get a good job, what does it matter if he is a civil official or a military attaché?"

Pei Cheng knew that his sister was stubborn, so he didn't argue with her, so he changed the topic: "Which one is the fourth girl of the Qin family?

Pei Yin pursed her lips again, and was silent for a while before she replied reluctantly: "It's the one next to the flower table over there, wearing a water-red brocade jacket and a royal blue pleated skirt, and still wearing a hundred treasures." She looked at it with a little hot eyes. That kind of Yingluo, she has never owned the daughter of the dignified princess, Qin Jinchun is just the daughter of a six-rank idle official, just because her surname is Qin, she can enter and leave the East Palace, and be a playmate for the lord of Minshun, she has received such a valuable reward!

Pei Cheng didn't notice his sister's grief and indignation, he secretly glanced at Qin Jinchun twice, and saw that she was born with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her expression was lively and vivid, compared with her own mother and sister, there was a kind of vitality that they didn't have. He immediately developed a crush on the girl, and his face flushed slightly.

Qin Jinchun didn't know if he noticed something, and turned his head to look over. Pei Cheng hurriedly lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, and even spoke in a tone of shyness: "It turns out that Miss Qin Si was born like this...... My mother didn't lie to me. "If he can marry Miss Qin Si as his wife, it seems that he ...... Is it something to look forward to?

Pei Yin looked at her brother's reaction, but she was a little stunned. She quickly glanced in Qin Jinchun's direction, then looked at others, and then pulled Pei Cheng's sleeve and motioned for him to go out with her. The brother and sister left the crowd and came to a no-man's corner, some distance from everyone else, with a wall behind them.

At this time, Pei Yin asked his brother solemnly: "What does my brother mean by that? Although my mother said that the second grandmother of the Cheng'en Hou Mansion intends to marry you and Miss Qin, this matter has not yet been discussed with the family! My brother is the eldest grandson of the Tangguo Mansion, so why am I afraid that I will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law? Why should I be the daughter of a six-rank idle official? I am not the eldest daughter yet! Brother, don't listen to my mother say that the fourth girl of Qin is surnamed Qin, and I think that this is a good family matter, and I can't even care about who the father of the fourth girl of Qin is. The second room of the Qin family is different from the long room and the third room, and has always had grievances and ruthlessness with the other two rooms. If the elder brother really wants to marry the Qin family, the second girl of Qin has already been married, and Qin San ......" Pei Yin paused, "It is also married, but there is still a Qin Wu at the bottom." She is also the daughter of the Qin family, although her status is not high, but her father is an official and is still in office, which is much more decent than Qin Si's father who lives at home! Although Qin is young, he will be able to discuss marriage in two years. It's a big deal for my brother to wait another two years!"

Pei Cheng looked at his sister helplessly: "You know, I don't have time to wait for another two years." ”

Pei Yin's face changed, and she didn't speak.

Pei Guogong is already very old, and he has had a stroke for many years, so it is difficult to say when he will not be able to hold on. In the past New Year, the Pei family was not very happy, because Pei Guogong's illness was a little recurrent. The imperial doctor reminded them that the old man might not last for a few years. Although it was something that had been expected for a long time, as soon as they heard that their grandfather might really not be able to hold on, the children and grandchildren of the Pei family were still a little flustered. Without Pei Guogong's support, what would the Guogong Mansion look like in the future? There is no successor, and there is no one among the descendants who can inherit the mantle of the old Guogong, and the family affairs of the grandchildren will become troublesome first, and their worth will plummet. If you really want to pick a marriage for your grandchildren among low-ranking officials, how can the elders be willing to do so? Grandma Pei is all wronged for her son and daughter!

The little nephews and nieces, Grandma Pei can't take care of them. She tends to settle the marriage of a pair of children as soon as her father-in-law is still alive, which can not only raise the value of the children by using her father-in-law's title, but also avoid making them miss their lives because of filial piety.

Under this premise, after Pei Yin missed Cai Shizi's most desirable marriage, even if she was unhappy, she had to go out to socialize so that she could find a decent marriage for herself. And Pei Cheng, as the eldest son, is even more unlikely to drag out his marriage, and wait for another two or three years, just to marry the Qin family.

Pei Cheng knew in his heart that Pei Yin had complaints about the Qin family, and what he said might be biased. In fact, Grandma Pei didn't think in advance that Qin Jinchun's father's official status was too low, but the second and third girls of the Qin family were all married, and there was only one Qin Fourth girl left at the right age, and she was friendly with the second and third Qin girls, and she was still the best friend of the lord of Donggong Minshun, even if her own conditions were poor, just looking at her connections, this family business was done.

Grandma Pei's abacus is loud, if Pei Cheng can marry Qin Jinchun, he will become a brother-in-law with the king of Suning County, and behind the other brother-in-law Tang Han is the Dali Siqing of the current dynasty, and there is also a cousin-in-law who is Cai Shizi of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, plus the in-laws of the Qin family's room and the third room, all of them are powerful, how much benefit does Pei Cheng have! Since Qin Jinchun can often enter and leave the East Palace, he must be able to bring Pei Cheng to the crown princess to ask for peace. As long as he leaves his name in the East Palace, and Pei Cheng comes back after keeping his filial piety, are you afraid that he will not have a good future? Where can I find a school-age girl who can bring the same benefits? And that girl has to be a household with Pei Chengmen, and she can look down on him, it is really difficult!

Grandma Pei knew what the current situation of the Pei family was, and everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they fell. Don't look at the high rank of the Guogong Mansion, in fact, there is no way for this title to be inherited by descendants. As soon as Pei Guogong died, the Guogong Mansion was no longer the Guogong Mansion. Pei Cheng himself is not outstanding, and he has no merit in his reputation, and the daughters of high-ranking families don't look down on him. And the concubine is the turn of the Pei family. No matter how mediocre Pei Cheng is, he is also the eldest grandson of Pei Guogong, even if he can't marry the daughter of a high-ranking family, he must be from a decent official family, right?

The second room of the Qin family is very good, speaking of which, it is also the queen's maiden family, and Qin Bofu is also the official body of the sixth grade. And due to the poor conditions, the second room of the Qin family has no confidence to find fault with the Pei Guo Mansion. Qin Jinchun herself is an excellent girl, with network resources that other girls do not have. Marrying such a daughter-in-law is better than getting a benefit!

Uncle Pei and Grandma Pei discussed for a long time before deciding to do this family business for the eldest son. Regardless of Yao's proposal to be a matchmaker, whether it was good intentions or ulterior intentions, they all recognized it. At least Qin Jinchun, the wife candidate, is still passable for Pei Cheng. It sounds decent not to choose Qin Jinchun and find a girl from a third- or fourth-grade official family, but who can guarantee that she will have more connections than Qin Jinchun behind her?

Pei Cheng is aware of his parents' concerns, and he will not be easily swayed by his sister's words. He also solemnly said to Pei Yin: "Don't be petty, my mother will never hurt us." My father and mother had consulted again and again before they had chosen this profession for me, and I had to obey their orders. He also reminded his sister, "You should be in front of me, and in front of my father and mother, don't say such unpleasant things." Father and mother are annoyed with you, and they will only get even angrier when the time comes. ”

Pei Yin's eyes were red aggrieved, and she finally held back her tears, and said reluctantly: "I know." I'm not that stupid!" She glanced at Qin Jinchun, and couldn't help but dislike it in her heart.

Pei Cheng was a little uneasy when he saw this: "You won't talk nonsense in front of a few girls in the Qin family, right? Good sister, don't make trouble! Although the second grandmother of the Chengenhou Mansion intends to be a matchmaker, if the marriage is not decided for a day, we must not ignore it for a day. Don't offend anyone at this time. Although the second room of the Qin family has lost power, they are also the Qin family in the end. I want to ask for success, and I have to say a few more kind words for myself. My mother has already said that she will ask my grandfather and his old man to ask for a favor for me, so that I will not marry a wife in vain. But even so, the girls of the Qin family don't worry about getting married, and my family business is not as stable as nine out of ten!"

Pei Yin became even more impatient when she heard this, and stomped her feet and said, "What does my brother's marriage have to do with me? I haven't done anything, how can my brother suspect me?!" she turned around and left.

Pei Cheng wanted to stop his sister, but after looking around, he still didn't open the mouth, so he just lowered his head and left silently. This is in someone else's house, he better be careful, it's a big deal to go home, and then slowly persuade his sister. Anyway, he was quite satisfied with the wife candidate his mother had found for him, and when he went back, he would ask his mother to post for the official media.

The Pei family brothers and sisters left in two directions. After a while, a verdant figure walked in from behind the door not far away, walked to the base of the wall, and stood where the Pei family brothers and sisters had just spoken, and glanced at the backs of Pei Yin and Pei Cheng respectively.

She quickly turned around and walked into the main hall, just when she met Qin Jinchun walking out, she stopped her with a smile: "Qingmei, I was looking for you, where are you going?"

Qingmei whispered in front of Qin Jinchun: "Girl, I just met Lianshi next to the third girl, she told me one thing, I also heard the Pei family girl and the master talking in private......"
