Qin Jian originally thought that Zhao Mo was asking him to marry Cai Yuanzhen, the eldest lady of the Cai family, but he quickly reacted. What Zhao Mo said was that most of the Xu family's room would not agree to marry Xu Xiu to Cai Seventeen and let him start a new business, which meant that Zhao Mo was not referring to himself, but to Cai Seventeen's family business.

Zhao Mo then quickly explained the meaning of his words: "If you can really become the son-in-law of Yunyang Hou, it will naturally be the best." But we all know that this may not be possible. If it can't be done, then why should a good man like Cai Qiqi be cheaper than another family? The Xu family is reluctant to give up their eldest daughter, because they think they are high-ranking officials of the third grade, and the family is clear. But it's not like there is no girl in the world who has a slightly lower background, but has enough upbringing, and happens to be surnamed Qin, who can take over Cai Qiqi's family business. ”

Qin Jian was silent for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "Do you mean the two cousins in my second room? Is it the eldest sister or the fourth sister? It can't be the eldest sister, right? Then it must be the fourth sister." ”

The answer is easy to come up with. There are only two daughters in the Qin family's room, Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinrong, both of whom are concubines, the latter is too young to count, the former is Qin Jian's sister and the eldest granddaughter of the Chengenhou Mansion. With her family background, she is qualified to marry Cai Shizi, so she will naturally not marry Cai Seventeen. Not to mention that Qin Jian had just expressed to Zhao Mo that he could let his sister marry low, and hoped that she would be safe and happy for the rest of her life.

Since Qin Jinhua can't succeed, except for Qin Hanzhu, who is too young, there is only one Qin Han who is really a school-age girl - Qin Jian knows in her heart that what Zhao Mo proposes will definitely not be her - then in the end, only the two daughters of the second room are possible candidates. Qin Jinyi and Qin Jinchun are both descendants, although their father has been idle, but he has managed to keep the official status of Liupin, and Cai Seventeen is the right person. In contrast, Qin Jinyi's brain is not clear, and she is older, so naturally Qin Jinchun is more suitable. She is fourteen years old this year, two years younger than Cai Seventeen, just a match. It's just that the second room has been separated, and it is a concubine, and the current situation is not good, and it is still unknown whether the Yunyang Hou Mansion will agree to this family business.

Zhao Mo told Qin Jian: "I've heard some gossip...... Although Yunyang Hou looks at the scenery now, he is actually walking on thin ice. He is extremely saintly, and the emperor also trusts him very much and is willing to entrust him with important tasks, but it is difficult to say in the future. With his current position in the court, he can only advance, not retreat. In the position of the commander of the city guard, in order to be loyal to the emperor, he did not do less sinners. When he has great power, no one dares to provoke him, but one day he loses this real power, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people with a grudge who will try to take revenge on him and harm his wife and children. Therefore, Yunyang Hou has always been very careful not to leave a handle for anyone. At the same time, he also has to win the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ensure that he will not stay away from the center of the court after the new monarch ascends the throne in the future. He also has to choose from his own sons and nephews who can inherit his mantle and pass on the military and political power in his hands. Even if he dies in the future, the Cai family will not be defeated, and there are still people who can support the lintel. ”

Qin Jian was a little surprised: "I really didn't expect it...... I only know that the Marquis of Yunyang is high and powerful, and everyone else is only in awe. If it weren't for the fact that he had committed a crime, why would the Marquis of Yunyang, as the commander of the city guards, have trouble getting along with that person? What reason would such a person have to resent the Marquis of Yunyang? Even if it wasn't Yunyang Hou who caught him, it would be someone else. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and continued: "In short, the Marquis of Yunyang has hidden worries, and has always had the heart to find a reliable ally for himself, it is best to marry a family, whether it is the girl of Cai Shizi or Cai Ergongzi to marry, or the two young ladies of the Cai family to marry, it is quite a good deal." I guess Cai Shizi admires you, and it has something to do with your family background. Of course, you are outstanding enough, otherwise he would not have crossed so many clan children, royal relatives and magnates, and jumped directly into you. ”

Qin Jian raised his eyebrows: "In fact, he may value you more, but you pretended to be drunk at the time, and then ignored him, so he turned around and just me." ”

Zhao Mo coughed and decided to ignore this sentence: "In short, the Qin family is the national uncle's mansion, and the uncle and grandfather of the third room are deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is the prince's own uncle, and he is also respected by the prince." If he can become an in-law with his uncle and grandfather, Yunyang Hou will have more confidence in the future. ”

Qin Jian thought for a while: "I don't think he should be like this." The Marquis of Yunyang holds great power and has the trust of the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a reasonable and virtuous person, and he will not take away the power in the hands of the Marquis of Yunyang in the future. Why should he be so worried?"

Zhao Mo shook his head: "You don't know, his worries are not unreasonable." There are two current deputy commanders of the city guards, one of whom is the commander of Chu, called Chu Zhengfang, do you know who he is?"

Qin Jian thought about it, only felt that the name of this Chu Commander was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered the other party's family background.

Chu Zhengfang is the eldest son of Lord Chu, the former squire of the military department, and his father is now sick and recuperating at home.

When Chu Shilang was young, he participated in the frontier war, but because of his meritorious service, he was injured and could no longer stay on the front line, so he was transferred back to Beijing to serve in the military department. He was born in Wu Tanhua and was a famous Confucian general in the army, but a few years ago, because of the trouble of an old injury, he could not continue to handle official business, so he returned home. He happens to be a person from the capital, his hometown is in Beijing, although he lives in a simple place on weekdays, and he is very low-key, but he has several sons, all of whom are relatively active, and the two youngest have also traveled and hunted with Qin Jian, so Qin Jian still remembers.

However, Qin Jian only heard that Chu Shilang's eldest son had joined the city guard, but he didn't know that the other party had climbed to the position of deputy commander. Remember this man is in his thirties, right?

However, in terms of family background alone, this is nothing surprising, right? Chu Zhengfang can barely be regarded as a general, but the Chu family has not yet become a climate in the army.

Zhao Mo just smiled faintly at this: "It seems that you really don't know." It is true that Chu Zhengfang is the eldest son of Chu Shilang, but his biological mother died early, and now Chu Shilang's wife is a continuation. Chu Zhengfang's brothers are all separated from him. And Chu Zhengfang's biological mother, Chu Shilang's wife, happens to be Tang Laoshang's own sister. ”

Qin Jian couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this: "The princess's own aunt?!"

Zhao Mo nodded solemnly.

It is precisely because of Chu Zhengfang's relationship that he has now achieved the position of deputy commander of the city guard, and he may replace Yunyang Hou at any time. Don't look at him now, he is still young, his qualifications are still shallow, his family background is weak, and he is only one of the deputy commanders, when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the crown princess becomes the mother of the country, and Chu Zhengfang is the cousin of the crown princess, just with this identity, it is enough to overpower any candidate, gain the trust of the new emperor, and serve as one of the main generals of the three major armies.

After Chu Shilang continued to play the string in his early years, he should have been much more estranged from Yuan's maiden relationship. From the fact that the Tang family rarely mentions this in-law, you can guess that the relationship between the two families is just mediocre. However, no matter what Chu Shilang is, Chu Zhengfang is still the nephew of the Tang family, and his blood is thicker than water. Although Tang Shangshu is highly respected in Shilin, and his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, when it comes to his power in the army, only this nephew can be counted. When his daughter and son-in-law need help in this regard, who else can he count on besides Chu Zhengfang?

And once Chu Zhengfang is given the position of the commander of the city guards, what should the Marquis of Yunyang do? He is not too old, and it is not yet time to say goodbye, but if this is the wish of the new emperor and the new queen, he can only give way if he is unwilling. What's even more worrying is that Chu Zhengfang is at the right age, and he is more senior than Cai Shizi, with him pressing, it is difficult for Cai Shizi to become a climate in the city guards, and if he is unlucky, it is not impossible to be suppressed. The Marquis of Yunyang even expects his eldest son to inherit his power in the city guard in the future, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will climb to a high position. But Chu Zhengfang has many brothers and more than one son. If he leaves the position of the commander of the city guard army in the future and does not let his own family take over, will he still be able to cheapen the children and grandchildren of his predecessor? At that time, where will the Cai family find a way out?

In this way, Yunyang Hou will have a sense of crisis, and it is not difficult to understand.

After listening to Zhao Mo's explanation, Qin Jian suddenly realized, and also understood why the Cai family intended to marry the Qin family. In the prince's mind, it is estimated that the only one who can compete with the maiden family of the crown princess Tang is the maiden family of the prince's biological mother, Empress Qin, right? Although Empress Qin died early, the prince has always respected his uncle's family. The crown princess is also polite, and she has never neglected the Qin family. If the Marquis of Yunyang becomes the in-law of the Qin family, then even if the crown princess wants to put her cousin on the throne in the future, she will not do too much. Anyway, they want to leave some face for the Yunyang Hou family, or transfer Chu Zhengfang away, or let the Yunyang Hou have other decent places to go after leaving the city guard, or properly settle Cai Shizi and wish their brothers a bright future...... And so on and so forth.

Of course, the Yunyang Marquis Mansion is not the only marriage choice of the Qin family, and it is estimated that there is also the Tu family from the Queen Mother. It's just that the Tu family is not as strong as before, and they have no blood relationship with the emperor and the crown prince, so they are far away after all. In addition, there are clans. Several families in the clan that are close to the emperor and the crown prince are likely to be favored by the Cai family. Cai Shizi was more optimistic about Zhao Mo before, probably because he was the most appreciated and valued by the prince among the children of the clan, right?

Zhao Mo said to Qin Jian: "Now that you know what's going on, you naturally know that the Cai family's family business, it's best not to cheapen others." Regardless of whether you and Miss Cai are destined or not, it doesn't matter if you miss it, there are so many people in the two families, there is always a match between them, right? The Cai family also has the heart to marry your Qin family, you don't have to underestimate yourself. Cai Seventeen should be the son of the clan that Yunyang Hou has cultivated, if you have such a sister-in-law, it will also be good for your family. Haven't the four girls always been good friends with the long house?"

Qin Jian was a little worried: "But the fourth sister is the daughter of the second room." The second room has always behaved ......"

Zhao Mo smiled: "They used to be arrogant and love to mess around, but now what? Even your long room can be suppressed, do you think the Yunyang Marquis Mansion will give the people in your second room a chance to make trouble?"

It's not that he speaks badly, Yunyang Hou and the people in the Qin family's room are not at the same level. provoked the Qin family's room, the second room of the Qin family would not be wiped out, and Qin Bofu could have no fear. But if he changed the Marquis of Yunyang, would he dare? He was not even a serious in-law, why did he make excessive demands on the Marquis of Yunyang?

Qin Jian understood, didn't hesitate for long, and made a decision: "Cai Seventeen is a very good person, if he can become the son-in-law of the Qin family, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for our family." As long as the Xu family clearly refuses to marry, I will start to promote this family affair. ”
