Chapter 171: Reluctance
Qin Bai was deeply surprised by the experience of Huang Jincheng's sister. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's not uncommon for the eunuchs in Beijing to become inflammatory, treacherous, but it's really rare to make a marriage contract that has been settled so ugly. Miss Huang's ex-fiancé's family originally took a good hand, but he was forced to lose his wife and break the army, and the good cards became bad cards, which really made people not know what to say.
But from this incident, it can also be seen what impact the prince will have on the court situation after he recovers his health. The crown prince has been sick and weak for more than 30 years, especially since the death of the emperor's grandson, almost everyone believes that the prince has no successor, and his life is short. In order to compete for this position, how many sect disciples have come forward one after another, competing openly and secretly. The ministers of the DPRK and the central government also bet on the treasure one after another, giving advice to the children of the clan they were optimistic about, waving their flags and shouting, hoping to make a contribution to the dragon, and when the new monarch has to ascend to the throne, he will bring his own family to soar. Now that the East Palace is fine and the status is stable, aren't these people embarrassed?
In fact, this is all a bad atmosphere caused by the struggle for succession in the last years of the first emperor.
At that time, several princes fought together, and most of the clans, princes and nobles, and big families in Beijing were involved in the struggle, and I don't know how many people lost their lives because of this, and I don't know how many families have been wiped out since then.
light, just like Zhao Mo's own grandmother and the maiden family of the Tang family, the concubine of the Liao Dynasty, was just excluded from the powerful circle of the center, and gradually became an ordinary official eunuch, declining day by day.
Heavy, no one escaped from the whole door, and even the nine clans were implicated.
Like the Qin family, although they suffered in the early days, the male of the family was exiled to the frontier, and they lost the pillars of the family, they made a comeback in a few years and kept the vitality of the family, which is already very lucky.
was probably frightened by those days, and now the big families who have been in and out of the capital for some years are a lot more indifferent to the change of the throne. No matter what the excitement in Beijing becomes, they can avoid it, anyway, just concentrate on being their own officials. If you really can't avoid it, it's a big deal to find a reason to resign from the office, and after a few years, wait for the dust to settle on the crown prince and then re-enter the office. Although there may not be a chance to soar, at least you can live a peaceful and stable life without being afraid.
However, not everyone will be as calm as these big families. Although it contains great risks from the dragon's skill, once it fails, it may bury one's own life or even the life of the whole family, but there are still people who persistently pursue it, because it contains risks and brings great benefits. For those who do not come from a family, this benefit is too tempting.
The best example is the Wang family, who was originally just from a poor family, and the brothers were famous, but they were just small families in the capital. Such a low-grade official eunuch family, there are not one thousand but eight hundred in Beijing, which is nothing at all. Although the second master Wang was a servant in front of the emperor and waited for the first emperor's pen and ink, he was purely a person who held the pen, not a high-ranking official and eunuch, and he did not have much real power in his hands. As a result, he bet on the right treasure and wrote an edict on the order of the first emperor, which made great contributions to the succession of the saint today, and suddenly the whole family ascended to heaven. Although the second master Wang has been trapped in the middle position for decades, he has not been allowed to advance an inch, but the career of the rest of the Wang family is bright. The daughter of the Wang family entered the palace as a concubine and almost gave birth to the emperor's second prince, if she can raise her, she can almost be called a proper heir to the throne. The Wang family looked for two sons-in-law one after another, both of whom were popular candidates for the position of imperial heir. Even the royal family in Beijing has to give three points to the Wang family.
Who doesn't want to be the next one in such a beautiful Wang family? Anyway, before the current saint succeeds to the throne, no one knows that the second master Wang supports him. Even if you want to learn from the dragon's skill, you don't have to do it obviously, you just need to bet quietly, and then make a move at a critical time. There are many eunuchs who have this idea, those who have the ability are attentive in their official affairs, and those who are not capable will stare at the in-law relationship and make a fuss. Miss Huang's ex-fiancé, I'm afraid that it is for this reason that he will hurriedly change his hexagram before the wedding date arrives and marry the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family.
He was just unlucky, he didn't expect the prince's health to get better. There are many people like him who have failed in their calculations, anyway, his family can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous member of it. However, Miss Huang was affected for no reason, and the marriage was not harmonious, so she was pitiful.
Qin Bai was very sympathetic to Miss Huang's situation, but he couldn't do anything but comfort Huang Jincheng for a few words. However, Huang Jin Chengyuan didn't expect him to help much, this was their Huang family's business after all. Qin Bai gave him a chance, which could make him vomit the depression in his heart, and he was already in a much better mood. Looking back, it is also fortunate that his sister did not marry into the family of her former fiancé, otherwise wouldn't she really miss her life? Now her reputation may be affected, but as long as she goes out of Beijing to avoid it for a few years, the people in the capital will soon forget about it. If she can find a good family outside Beijing to marry, it will be even more ideal. My sister's situation doesn't seem to be very bad.
Qin Bailiu and Huang Jincheng had dinner in the village, and the latter left briskly. Before leaving, he also accepted Niu's suggestion: "Now that the weather is too hot, let your sister recover from her illness first." When the weather is cooler, go around the city, see the places of interest, and enjoy the mountains and rivers. Since you are here to relax, you must naturally have the appearance of being scattered. If there is anything delicious and fun in the local area, you can also collect more and go back to make your sister happy, and she will naturally forget about those bad things. ”
Huang Jincheng thought so, and decided to find a cool house not far from the military camp outside the city, and move his wife, children and sister to escape the summer and recuperate. When my sister is well, I will take her out to play more.
Huang Jincheng is gone. Niu Shi thought about his sister's unfortunate experience, and couldn't help but sigh to her husband Qin Bai: "His sister is also a hard-working person, how could the elders decide such a man when they set a marriage many years ago? Since he has taken advantage of it, don't be long-winded, just marry the person he wants to marry, and say for no reason what is the Huang family girl's eight characters? Do that ......" She paused, glanced at her granddaughter Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, who were sitting not far away, and swallowed two words, "What do you want to build an archway, you want any good thing, and you think too beautiful!"
Qin Bai was also very disdainful of the family's actions: "Nothing else, since we have already done something treacherous, why bother to break the contract again, and want to stop the Wang family's family affairs and save the Huang family? This is obviously a repeated villain, and it has not polluted our ears!"
Niu sneered: "Thinking that their bamboo baskets are empty now, and all calculations are useless, I feel happy in my heart!"
Qin Hanzhen interjected with a smile: "Actually, I don't think it's a bad thing. Miss Huang's ex-fiancé is actually this kind of person. The door of the royal family's room is indescribable, judging from the behavior of several aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family, his granddaughter may not be a fuel-efficient lamp. I think Miss Huang's ex is quite compatible with the granddaughter of the Wang family, and the style of the two families is also the right one. It's good that they're a good couple like this, so don't harm others. ”
Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled, and said to her: "Master Wang has such a son-in-law, it must be very much in line with his old man's wishes. In the past, he always liked to marry his daughter to the clan, but now he will look at people outside the clan, which shows how much he likes this son-in-law. ”
Qin Hanzhen covered his mouth and smiled. The two gloated quite obviously. When Niu heard this, he also laughed.
Qin Bai looked at them helplessly, and waited for them to finish laughing before saying, "Okay, it's not too early, hurry back to the house to rest, Ming'er has to get up early and hurry." ”
Early the next morning, they got into a carriage and set off for the stone pond. This road is connected by rural dirt roads, although it is not as wide and smooth as the official road, but Jiangning is rich, and there are many rich families who are willing to pay money to do good deeds and build bridges and pave roads, so even if it is a country dirt road, the road condition is not too bad. Today's weather is sunny with a light breeze, and it will be smooth to travel in such weather. If there is no accident, from Qinzhuang to Shitang Zhuhai, it is only a distance of about sixty miles, and it can be reached in two or three hours by carriage.
Qin Bai, Wu Shaoying and Zhao Mo all rode horses, but the latter was young and had different identities, so Niu asked people to prepare a car for him, and Qingdai and Fei's mother were in the car to listen to the instructions, when he felt tired of riding, or because the sun was too sunny, he could go to the car to rest at any time.
Qin Hanzhen followed his grandmother Niu in a wide carriage, and his five-year-old cousin Brother Zi'er was also in the same car. Qin Hanzhen is now accustomed to taking a car and boat, adapting well, and still having the interest to enjoy the scenery outside the car along the way. Niu Shi felt that the carriage was a little bumpy, and she had been leaning on the pillow to close her eyes to recuperate, but her body had been greatly improved after Dr. Ye's conditioning, and the symptoms of motion sickness did not appear again.
Only Brother Zi'er has been wilting, and he doesn't seem to have any energy, and he seems to be weak even when he speaks. Niu was worried that he was suffering from heat stroke, but touching his hands, feet and head seemed to be fine, so he asked him what was wrong.
Brother Zi'er shook his head sullenly, nestled in his grandmother's arms and remained silent, his little face drooping, listless.
Qin Hanzhen guessed: "This is reluctant to Brother Zhang'er and Brother Qi......'er, right? After only a few days of hard work, such a deep friendship has been formed, and even a few days apart is like a parting of life and death. She felt a little funny, and touched her little cousin's head, "Now it's just a few dozen miles away, and you can be reunited again in a few days, you are sad to be like this." In the future, when we go back to the capital, we will be separated from your friends for thousands of miles, and it will be difficult to see each other, what will you do at that time?"
The expression on Brother Zi'er's face was even more sad, and he looked like he was about to shed tears.
