Chapter 133: Punching the Sky
The mother-in-law reported to Huang Jincheng the results of her cliché: "Sister Qiu doesn't seem to be as sad and depressed as she was when she first left our house, and her complexion is still passable. The old slave www.biquge.info said that the adult seemed to be angry, but he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and the aunt refused to compensate, so the adult refused to give in first. If it had been before, Sister Qiu would have climbed up the pole when she heard this. Even if you can't persuade Mrs. Gu to come to reconcile, you should say more bad things about Mrs. Gu, and then ask the adults to accept her again. But Sister Qiu didn't, she just said some clichés, so she asked directly about clothes and jewelry. Listening to her tone, it seemed that she could use those luxurious things in the future, and she could save a sum of money. But if she can't get it back, she just feels sorry and doesn't mean to force it. ”
There is another point, Huang Yiqiu should attach great importance to the family affairs that Huang Jincheng "introduced" to her, and when she was sent home, she cried very much, almost scolding Xiao Huang's aunt. But the mother-in-law hung her appetite for marriage in the temple, and she didn't pick up the stubble, but revealed that Xiao Huang seemed to have told her a good family matter, but she didn't have a letter yet, so she refused to reveal half a point. Combined with her mention that her family is about to enter Beijing, her mother-in-law naturally deduces that her family business is estimated to be in Beijing.
Where does Xiao Huang's family have connections in the capital to be a matchmaker for Huang Yiqiu?
Huang Jincheng had some bad premonitions. When he provoked Xiao Huang and her mother's family, he used a very clever method to ask himself, and he also used an excellent marriage as a bait to hang Huang Yiqiu and her family. Once this marriage is over, Huang Yiqiu's family will definitely have resentment towards Xiao Huang's family. Unless Xiao Huang can find a better family for Huang Yiqiu, this resentment is likely to exist for a long time.
Now that Xiao Huang's family and her mother's family have reconciled, Huang Yiqiu no longer seems to be obsessed with the "good marriage" introduced by Huang Jincheng, could it be that she has a better place to go? But with Xiao Huang's ability, if she could tell her niece a good relationship, she would have said it a long time ago, and she would not have to marry her to a child of the clan as a concubine.
So how did the family affairs in the capital come about?
Huang Jincheng remembered that Xiao Huang's family had once revealed that she had correspondence with the female dependents of the second room of the Qin family in the capital, and couldn't help but suspect the role of the second room of the Qin family in this matter.
He informed Qin Bai, Marquis of Yongjia, who also frowned when he heard this, and was silent for a while before saying: "Now that our three rooms have been separated, the second brother's wife and children are independent, although they still live in the Chengenhou Mansion, they are already three families. Although I am an elder, I can't interfere in the affairs of my younger siblings and nephews. Unless they are traitors and violate the laws of the country, I can reprimand them. Otherwise, they won't take my words to heart. ”
He looked at Huang Jincheng: "However...... The second sister-in-law has never been trouble-free. She has always wanted to suppress the long room and the third room. Bofu's nephew is also a talented person, and he looks forward to flying Huang Tengda every day, going beyond the long room and the third room. Although you have been in Tianjin for a few years, you must have heard the news in Beijing. Concubine...... has been planning to marry the Shu Palace, but the Princess of Shu doesn't look down on the niece and granddaughter of the second room. After the King of Shu was expelled from Beijing, the second room snobbishly dispelled the idea, and even the young son of the King of Shu was originally a nobleman of the clan, which shows that their vision is high. I don't know what the idea of the second room and Keyong's daughter-in-law is teaming up, but they refuse to make the matter public, but sneaky about it, so it must not be a good thing. At least, you can't see the light. ”
Huang Jincheng hesitated for a while before he said, "Before...... The Xue family once had two mothers-in-law, and they had to see Sister Qiu. At that time, I had just listened to the persuasion of the Hou Ye, and asked the girls and mothers-in-law to dress up Sister Qiu to not look like the queen's mother, originally just to avoid looking upset. After the two mothers-in-law saw her, there was no follow-up, and they heard that they had returned to the Xue family early. At that time, I was wondering, why did those two mothers-in-law come here? If I saw that the Huang family was connected with the second room of your Qin family, I remembered that Sister Qiu was born a little like the queen's mother. Master Hou, what do you say...... Could it be that the second room of the Qin family was only going to take her into Beijing after hearing about Sister Qiu'er's appearance? Previously, the Xue family came for a similar purpose, but when she saw Sister Qiu'er's appearance, she didn't look like the queen mother, so she went back. Xiao Huang has always claimed that she can arrange a better future for Sister Qiu, but I just think she is nonsense. But if she is in the second room of the Qin family, she will take Sister Qiu into Beijing and send her to the palace......"
Qin Bai's face turned gloomy. It's not impossible. The mother and son in the second room are bent on becoming inflammatory, and they want to marry Qin Jinyi to the future crown prince, so that there will be a queen in the second room, and if the marriage fails, even the position of the prince's sister-in-law's wife can't satisfy them, maybe this time, they will directly target the emperor?
Qin Bai sneered: "How can the emperor be such a superficial person? The king of a country, rich all over the world, it has been nearly 30 years since the death of the queen's mother, if the emperor is just greedy for skin and accepts a few concubines who look like the queen's mother, what is the difficulty?
What a joke! He had to tell the emperor about it. Otherwise, how would the emperor know that there were still people among his in-laws who would use such a disgusting method to calculate him? Let alone know that there would be such brazen people in the queen's mother's family!
Huang Jincheng saw that he was annoyed, and touched his nose a little sneeringly. Xiao Huang and Huang Yiqiu are both members of the Huang clan, and the Huang clan people make such jokes under his nose, and his face is dull.
He assured Qin Bai: "I'll write a letter to my family and ask my family to help watch out." I can't control the people in the second room of the Qin family, but the side branch of the Huang family goes to Beijing, but I have to listen to the orders of our grandson. They want to do anything wrong in Beijing and ruin the reputation of the Huang family, and it depends on whether our descendants agree!"
Qin Bai said lightly: "Just in case, before the letter is sent, you still have to find out the true intentions of the Xiao Huang clan. ”
Huang Jincheng hurriedly said: "This matter is on me!"
He sent the mother-in-law who had waited for Huang Yiqiu again, and took the initiative to find the door of Huang Liu's house. Of course, the reason this time was not that Shangxiang met by chance, but that Huang Er was concerned about the physical condition of his younger brother Huang Liu, and sent a few body-tonifying medicinal materials from his hometown Yangzhou to his nephew Huang Jincheng to hand them over. Although Huang Jincheng was still angry in his heart, it was actually the Xiao Huang family who was annoyed, not the elder Huang Liu, so he ordered the mother-in-law in the family to run his legs.
The mother-in-law pounced. The daughter of the Huang family obviously went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha the day before, but today they are all gone. There was only one Huang Liu master and several old servants left in the house, and Huang Liu was still sick, sitting on the bed and scolding his son and daughter-in-law. It turned out that the Huang family had already said that they were going to Beijing, but the set departure date was a few days later. Yesterday, my daughter-in-law Grandma Huang took her granddaughter Huang Yiqiu to Shangxiang, and as soon as she came back, she pulled her husband Uncle Huang into the room, and she didn't know what to say, and Uncle Huang immediately ordered someone to send a letter to his sister Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang rushed back to his parents' house overnight, helped pack his luggage, and early this morning, together with her husband Qin Keyong, sent her brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces to the big boat to cross the river, and set off for the capital in advance.
Master Huang Liu is old, and he has always been worried about the trip to the capital, he has been sick recently, and he wants to take care of his body before thinking about going to Beijing, but he didn't expect Uncle Huang and Grandma Huang to leave him. The grandchildren who have always loved him are like lard and have abandoned him, his own grandfather. Although there are still a few old servants in the family who can wait, but the children and grandchildren are not close, his daughter Xiao Huang has already married, and he also planned his son's family to go to Beijing, he felt angry when he looked at her. Master Huang Liu was full of resentment, and when he saw that Huang Jincheng had sent his mother-in-law, he kept talking to his mother-in-law. Many Uncle Huang and Grandma Huang have repeatedly said that if Huang Jincheng can't be told to know, he will also scold him directly.
Xiao Huang's family did hook up with the Xue family in the second room of the Qin family, and used Huang Yiqiu's similar appearance to Queen Qin as a bargaining chip, so that the Xue family agreed to go and sent Huang Yiqiu to the palace to be favored. Even if things don't work out, the Xue family also promised to say a good family affair for Huang Yiqiu in the capital, and he must be a young son of an official eunuch with a rich net worth and a promising future. As far as the Huang family is concerned, going to Beijing is a good deal that makes sure that they don't lose money, and even the expenses are covered by someone, so how can they not be in a hurry? As long as Huang Yiqiu can really enter the palace and be a mother, the so-called good family affairs that Huang Jincheng said earlier will not be able to enter the eyes of their family.
Grandma Huang took her daughter to Shangxiang, and met Huang Jin's mother-in-law. She was worried that the news would leak and Huang Jincheng would come to ruin her daughter's good deeds, so she hurriedly went home and told Uncle Huang that the husband and wife united with Xiao Huang's family and made the decision to leave immediately. When they go to Beijing this time, they will not contact the Yanzhi side. The Huang family's descendants in the capital can set clan rules and prohibit the Huang family's daughters from marrying with the clan and the imperial family, so how can they be willing to let the Huang family's daughters enter the palace as concubines? Huang Jincheng doesn't know, if he knows, he will definitely stop it. Today's Huang Jincheng is no longer a good brother and benefactor in the eyes of Uncle Huang and his wife, but a hindrance in Huang Yiqiu's splendid future.
The mother-in-law reported the news to Huang Jincheng, and said: "Listening to the tone of the sixth master, it seems that Mrs. Gu not only covered the expenses for them to go north, but also covered their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital, and made new clothes for Sister Qiu, but she didn't buy new jewelry, saying that she was going to Beijing to meet the second wife of the Qin family." ”
Huang Jincheng sneered: "No wonder, Sister Qiu obviously has a better future, but she still thinks about the clothes and jewelry I made for her, but it turns out that there is none!"
In order to be able to send his niece into the palace, Xiao Huang's family was also hemorrhaging. Isn't she afraid that Huang Yiqiu will fail to succeed and let her lose all her money?
Huang Jincheng sneered again and sank his face: "It seems that I really have to write a letter to my family." Glancing at the mother-in-law again, "Mrs. Gu has used so much silver on her mother's family this time, and even her husband has dragged her husband into the water, is all that silver all the private houses of their husband and wife? Is there really no money that cannot be seen in the light? The people of the Qin clan should also have some doubts, right?"
As soon as he hinted, the mother-in-law already knew what to do.
