Chapter 478: Geng Ti
Uncle Pei finally invited his younger sister Pei and Grandma Pei to come forward, went to the second room of the Qin family, and sent an apology, and inquired about Qin Jinyi's injury by the way.
Xiao Xue received her. Maybe it's because he knows what good things his daughter has done, so Xiao Xue's attitude is quite warm and kind. Just talking about her daughter's injury, she was a little embarrassed: "I am still raising it now, and I have to see how well I raise it to know if there will be future troubles in the future." β
Grandma Pei Er was not suspicious. She thought that Qin Jinyi was seriously injured, and the Qin family was worried that the Pei family would refuse to admit it and marry a disabled daughter-in-law, so they would be vague. She didn't care about that at all, and it wasn't her son who was going to marry a disabled daughter-in-law anyway. She also took the initiative to hold Xiao Xue's hand and said, "Good sister, don't worry. Let your eldest girl recuperate with peace of mind. The eldest nephew of our family should bear the responsibility, he will definitely bear it! It is his carelessness that caused the eldest girl of your family to suffer a great sin, if he wants to shirk, then is he still a human being?
Xiao Xue laughed dryly, quietly glanced in the direction of the blue yarn cabinet, and then said dryly: "Second Grandma Pei said this, I am relieved." β
Pei Er's grandmother also took the initiative to ask if she needed to help find a doctor? She also listed one by one the names of the imperial doctors who had been ordered to go to Pei Guogong's mansion to treat Pei Guogong, as well as the famous doctors commonly used in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles she was familiar with, and so on. Regardless of whether she really has the ability to invite these people, anyway, listing them like this shows that she has a wide range of contacts and is very capable, and it also shows that the Pei family is very sincere.
How dare Xiao Xue really invite a imperial doctor or a famous doctor to see Qin Jinyi's injury? This doctor has an excellent pulse, and the medicine prescribed is also very effective, so there is no need to change doctors for the time being. If you need it in the future, I will ask you again. β
Pei Er's grandmother was not reluctant. After all, she just wants to show off, and she can't really invite these famous doctors to the door at will. Then she began to inquire about Qin Jinyi's situation, such as age, temperament, preferences, etc., this is the procedure of going on a blind date. Xiao Xue knew it in his heart, so he also told him the general situation. Of course, most of these are good words, and they will definitely not talk about Qin Jinyi's shortcomings, at most, they are just a little humble and don't boast so much.
Pei Er's grandmother clearly felt that Xiao Xue's was a little exaggerated. Qin Jinyi did have a small reputation in the early years, but at that time she was still young, only eleven or twelve years old, her appearance and appearance were not very outstanding, and her talent was relatively proficient in the piano, but she was not yet outstanding. As for other poems, the eldest niece Pei Yin formed a poetry club with the second girl of the Qin family, and the daughters of the Marquis of Yunyang and Shoushan Bofu were involved, and later the third girl of the Qin family also intervened, and all of them had poems and paintings circulating, but they had never heard of any works by the eldest girl of the Qin family. If Miss Qin really has a talent for poetry, why didn't she participate in the poetry club set up by her sisters? Maybe it's just that Xiao Xue, a mother, put gold on her daughter's face. After all, a daughter who breaks her leg and is likely to be disabled is likely to be left behind, and if she wants to marry into the Guogong Mansion, she always has to add some bargaining chips to herself to look more decent.
Pei Er's grandmother thought that she understood Xiao Xue's plan, and she didn't care. After all, this is not to choose a daughter-in-law for her. She followed Xiao Xue's words and praised it, and then left Pei Cheng's Geng post - this has been prepared for a long time, no matter what the attitude of the Qin family is, Pei Er's grandmother must send this thing to the Qin family.
Xiao Xue took the Geng post, and his mood was a little complicated for a while. On the one hand, she was relieved, knowing that her eldest daughter could finally get married, and on the other hand, she was worried about her eldest daughter and deceived her into marriage...... What if something goes wrong in the future? The mother's family participated in the deception, where can she have the confidence to make decisions for her daughter? But she can't tell the truth in front of the Pei family, because this is really the best chance for Qin Jinyi to get married. If she misses this time, God knows when someone will be willing to propose to her?
That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Since the mother-in-law Xue and the eldest daughter Qin Jinyi, and even the husband Qin Bofu and the youngest daughter Qin Jinchun all agree with this family business, Xiao Xue feels that there is no need to say anything.
Xiao Xue accepted the post, sent away Pei Er's grandmother with a smile, and promised to give an answer in three days.
Grandma Pei said goodbye to Xiao Xue affectionately, and once again expressed her concern for Qin Jinyi's injury, and said that she would visit her in the village another day, so she left.
Xiao Xue returned to the flower hall, sat down on the circle chair, and began to be stunned.
Qin Bofu and Qin Jinchun walked out from behind the blue yarn cupboard, with satisfied expressions: "This marriage is half done." In a few days, we will give a positive answer and go back, and the two families will exchange tokens, and it will be done. It's a pity that Pei Guogong is rumored to be in a bad condition, and he may die at some point. If he dies, the marriage will be postponed for at least a year, and when the big girl enters the door again a year later, her in-laws are still keeping filial piety, and she will not be beautiful. But anyway, the marriage of the big girl is decided, and there is no obstacle for the four girls to say that they are married. I want the Pei family to help me recover, and I have a reason. If the Pei family wants to hold a funeral, Pei Guogong's former protΓ©gΓ©s will come to mourn, right? I will go over as an in-law to help manage it, and it is always good to make more contacts. β
Qin Jinchun glanced at his father, and had no intention of saying anything more about his thoughts, but said: "The Pei family is going to visit the eldest sister, what if they want to see the eldest sister's leg injury? Even if the eldest sister can use shyness as an excuse to refuse the male doctor to see her injured leg, but when the female relatives want to see it, or let the girl who understands medical science go to see it, what excuse does she have to refuse again? The Pei family is willing to get married, which is naturally a good thing, but once they find out that the eldest sister is lying to them and is not injured at all, then the marriage may not be able to be discussed. β
Qin Bofu frowned: "This is a trouble...... I don't know if I can fool the past if I get injured again? The big girl is injured, and it will only take less than two days anyway......"
Xiao Xue was a little frightened: "Master, Sister Yi has been injured in the leg, and now she has not completely healed! If she is injured again, what can she do if she really doesn't get better? Even if she marries into the Pei family, she will also be the eldest daughter-in-law, and she will be the wife of the sect, and she will be the wife of the sect, and she will be dragged with an injured leg, how can she fulfill the duties of the lady of the sect? What if the Pei family is prosperous in the future and dislikes her?"
Qin Bofu was right to think about it, and said with some annoyance: "Who told the big girl to cherish herself too much? Since she wants to slander people, why can't she make a fake come true? If she really has a wound on her leg, even if the injury is lighter, she can explain the past." But she didn't even have a broken skin, only a few bruises, and whoever looked at it could see that it was fake. She was disgraced, and we parents were disgraced. How is this going to end?!"
Qin Jinchun pursed his lips: "I'll go out of the city tomorrow and go to Zhuangzi to see the eldest sister, and also give her a letter, so that she can be a little prepared." No matter what method she uses, she has to deal with the Pei family's group of family visitors first. Unless she doesn't want this family business, she's going to have to get through it. If she refuses to let others see it, the Pei family will naturally not force it, but people are not stupid, once she is suspicious, she will not have a good life when she enters the door in the future. How to decide, she has to make her own decision. β
Qin Bofu and Xiao Xue agreed, and the latter also decided to go with his youngest daughter to Zhuangzi to see the eldest daughter, and by the way, he reported to his mother-in-law that the Pei family had sent Geng Ti over.
The next day, they arrived at Zhuangzi and brought good news to Xue and Qin Jinyi. Xue Shi immediately laughed: "I know that this family business will definitely be done! If it can't be done, we will go to the Queen Mother to sue them for the Pei family! See if their Pei family can send their daughter to the East Palace!"
After the joy was over, the Xue family discussed with the Xiao Xue family again: "This marriage, if it can be given by the queen mother or the emperor, it will be more decent and stable." After returning to the city in a while, you go to Chengenhou Mansion and talk to Aunt Fu. She used to go to the palace to relieve the empress dowager's boredom, but she hasn't seen her go again in the past few years, so she is too lazy. It's time to go into the palace again to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and by the way, talk about our sister Yi's marriage. As long as you can ask the Queen Mother to marry, the scenery and dignity of this marriage will not be lost to the Jinhua girl in the long house. "It's just that it's not as good as Qin Hanzhen in the third room. After all, she is going to marry the king of the clan, and the emperor gives her a marriage, who can compare with her?
The Xue family was still secretly angry, but they didn't know that Xiao Xue and Qin Jinchun had been frightened by her words. Xiao Xue stammered, "But...... Madam, Aunt Fu hasn't been in the palace for several years, and she may not be willing to help us...... "They haven't sent anything to their aunt and grandmother in the second room for many years, and they were all ordered by the Xue family personally, how can they have the face to ask again?"
Xue said disapprenously: "Sister Yi is the great-granddaughter of that old thing, this first great-grandson wants to get married, can't she work to ask the Queen Mother for a favor?"
Xiao Xue only felt that it was noisy and speechless. Aunt Fu is of course the biological mother of her father-in-law Qin Huai, who died early, but if the Xue family is willing to recognize the other party as her mother-in-law, what is the attitude of these years? When the family was separated, if they didn't take Aunt Fu out to live together, they had already broken off the relationship between the two parties. Looking at Aunt Fu's indifferent attitude towards Qin Bofu in the second room over the years, I also know what the old aunt thinks about the so-called grandson and great-grandson. Xiao Xue only knew that when he and his youngest daughter Qin Jinchun went to the long house, they also asked Aunt Fu to say goodbye from time to time, so they still maintained a faint friendship. Even so, she couldn't make such an excessive request to Aunt Fu, let alone the Xue family, who had always been slow to Aunt Fu?
Qin Jinchun suddenly opened his mouth at this time: "The eldest sister's family business is somewhat slanderous. It is certainly decent to ask the Queen Mother to give marriage, but if it is exposed in the future, it will offend the Queen Mother. As long as the eldest sister has become a daughter-in-law to the Pei family and has given birth to children, even if the Pei family is sad for a while, there will be a day when she will gain a firm foothold. But if you offend the Queen Mother......"
She didn't finish speaking, but Qin Jinyi already understood what she meant, and her face changed: "That's it, as long as the Pei family recognizes this family matter, our Qin family doesn't have to be afraid of them changing their hexagrams, and we don't have to ask the Queen Mother for a favor." You can ask the third uncle and ancestor, if you can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess reward something, it will be decent enough. β
Qin Jinchun secretly rolled his eyes and said directly: "I think the most important thing now is to deal with the female relatives of the Pei family who are going to visit relatives first." If the daughter of the Pei family asks to see the eldest sister's injury, how does the eldest sister plan to deal with it?" she glanced up at Qin Jinyi, "Could it be that at that time, did the eldest sister still say that she was shy?"
