Chapter 140: Brain Hole

Huang Jincheng was in Jinling, and all his knowledge of the affairs in the capital came from letters from relatives and friends or news from the governor's yamen. The little rumors in Zhao Jie's back house www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion are naturally carried by the family, and they are not very detailed. However, with his experience of knowing Zhao Jie in Beijing for many years, it is not difficult to speculate on the other party's motives for doing so.

Zhao Qi was originally the son of the king of Jin, ten years ago I heard that the emperor's grandson died young, and the prince was seriously ill, not like a longevity, so he went to Beijing to seek to become the emperor's heir, in order to figure out the position of the East Palace. King Jin has a good relationship with Jinshang, and his mother Guan is the daughter of the Jingzhong family, so he still has no worries about helping in the capital. At that time, there was a king in the Wang family who was by the emperor's side, Jane was in the emperor's heart, and he married the three daughters of the Wang family as his wife, in order to get first-hand news from the emperor's side, and strive to do everything to the emperor's satisfaction, and some people said good things for themselves by the emperor's side.

His wishful thinking played well, the Wang family did help him a lot, and he also took the opportunity to strengthen his own power in the capital, and the two complemented each other. If there is any shortcoming, it is that after the three daughters of the Wang family married him, they failed to get pregnant for a long time and gave birth to an heir for him. And the three daughters of the Wang family are more jealous, and they can't tolerate the concubines. Even if Zhao Hao was looking for an outer room in private, he was not pregnant for a long time, so after the Wang family found out, he directly sent someone to smash the house and disfigured his outer room. The Wang family was still protecting their daughter and came forward to beat him, only saying that they had asked the imperial doctor to recuperate for their daughter, and the heir would have it sooner or later, but it had to come out of his daughter's belly!

Zhao Hao couldn't leave the Wang family at that time, so for the sake of the future, he endured this breath, thinking in his heart, the prince will not be able to do it when he sees it, and when he becomes the prince, even if the Wang daughter is jealous, the queen mother and concubines in the palace will not tolerate him not being able to have an heir. When the time comes, he doesn't have to worry about it, and naturally a good daughter will come to make a side room for him and give birth to children for him.

It is because of this determination that Zhao Cheng is older than the prince to this day, and his knees are still empty. In the past, there was a carrot hanging in front of the emperor's heir, he could tolerate the Wang family, but now the dream of the emperor's heir is hopeless, and he was regarded as an abandoned son by the Wang family, and he was banned from the captivity, and the most concerned thing, in addition to accusing the Wang family, naturally only had a child.

It's not that he's so anxious that he can't even take care of himself during the filial piety period, but it's reasonable to arrange the right person in advance, such as a healthy intercourse or something, and first regulate his body to facilitate conception in the future. In this way, as soon as he is filial, he will be able to work women directly. Anyway, now the Wang family is not as good as before, and they can't control him. If he hadn't been weak, and the Wang family hadn't been completely defeated, he couldn't afford to take that risk, and maybe he would have wanted to give the Wang family a divorce and marry another virtuous wife. What about taking concubines and giving birth to children? Who in the clan of this dynasty is as cowardly as him, thirty-four or five years old, and there is not a single man and half a woman under his knees? The Wang family himself is incompetent, where does he have the face to stop him from taking a concubine?

After Huang Jincheng finished talking about his guess, he smiled at Qin Bai and said: "In the past, we often said that when Zhao Cheng couldn't bear it, he would ignore the face of the Wang family and take a concubine and have children." The third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family, although everyone who has seen her say that she is very outstanding, talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, and much better than the one married by the prince of Liao now, but in private, no one talks about it, saying that she is domineering and jealous, she can't have children, and her husband is not allowed to take concubines. Zhao Jie is often ridiculed because he has no children. Now that he has little hope for his future, and the title and property of the Jin Palace's mansion are also cheaper for his two cousins, what else can he do besides spending his mind on his heirs?"

Qin Bai listened silently and asked again: "He wants to take a concubine for the sake of his heirs, although it is reasonable, but it is ...... He is also a member of the clan and the son of a prince, so why should he take a woman as a concubine?"

Huang Jincheng didn't expect him to pay attention to this, and thought for a while: "It's probably just in case, right? Finding a healthy woman to be a concubine can increase the chance of conception, and the woman who has given birth is even more foolproof." However, this is indeed a bit unusual, whose clan is so unparticular? That is, he is now a lost dog, and his parents are gone, and no one can take care of him. It is estimated that even if the elders of the clan don't look like each other, few of them will meddle in their affairs, right?"

Qin Bai pursed his lips: "That's it, it's just a concubine, as long as Zhao Hao is happy, even if it is a woman who is not innocent, others are just saying a ridiculous word." But what is the reason why he wants to recognize the concubine's daughter as a righteous daughter? How old is the girl? Who is her biological father? Her mother remarried as a concubine, so why won't her biological father's family stop her?"

Huang Jincheng said with a smile: "Who knows? My family has never seen that girl, but I heard that she is more than ten years old, and she has a good appearance, but I don't know where she originated." Her mother can take her into Zhao Qiao's back house, presumably her biological father has already died, and her father has no ability to stop her. At the age of a girl, Zhao Zhen raised her for a few more years, and married someone in the name of a righteous daughter, but she could also get some benefits. But at this point, even if Zhao Jie wants to marry someone, he can't find any decent family, right? His future is like that, who still can't understand it?"

Qin Bai was silent again.

In fact, he had just talked with the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen about the family of the He family's mother and daughter in the capital, and now that he heard the rumors of Zhao Jie, he couldn't help but be suspicious, wondering if Zhao Jie's concubine room could be the He family? The He family ran away with her daughter Sister Zhang, and Sister Zhang'er's age can match Zhao Jie's newly acquired daughter. It's just that...... Besides, although her appearance is not bad, she is already a woman in her thirties, has given birth twice, and has fallen seriously ill in the temple. If she really became Zhao Jie's concubine, how could she take the name of the Wang family to the door of the Chengenhou Mansion? The third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family had no reason to support her.

Qin Bai came back to his senses, and Huang Jincheng was still chattering: "Zhao Cheng really kicked the iron plate this time." As soon as the title was put to the end, he was called to be scolded by the sect order, and he had to be honest when he went home. It is normal for him to be anxious for his heirs, but he can't even ignore the rules of filial piety. If you just want to pick a candidate in advance and let people adjust their bodies, then you don't have to do it at home, you can place it in another place, and you don't have to ask people to pick it. He's not smart before, he's been imprisoned for a year, and he's getting more and more stupid......"

Zhao Mo had been sitting in the corner and quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and he didn't make a sound. He didn't have any impression of Zhao Jie's cousin, he only knew that it was after Zhao Jie's bad thing that the Wang family would find his father and start a new business. To put it bluntly, it was just an abandoned son who was used by the Wang family and then discarded. If his father Zhao Shuo made a big mistake and had no hope for the future, it was estimated that he would end up in the same fate. Now fortunately, the crown prince has returned to the dynasty safely, and no one has mentioned the matter of the imperial heir anymore. The Wang family can no longer dream of being the ruler of the country, Zhao Shuo has a lot less dependence on them, and it is estimated that he no longer needs to look at the face of the Wang family and sacrifice his sons.

However, Zhao Mo knew his own affairs. He made meritorious contributions to protect the crown prince, and he didn't disclose the news to his father in Jingzhong, Zhao Shuo was afraid that he would be annoyed with him. Even if Zhao Shuo didn't have to look at the face of the Wang family anymore, he wouldn't have any good feelings for him, the eldest son. Anyway, Zhao Shuo now has a wife and a concubine, so he doesn't have to worry about having no heirs. It is not a bad thing for him to live freely outside with peace of mind, and to have his own place.

Huang Jincheng chattered about Zhao Jie, confirmed that his guess was correct, and mentioned that his wife and children were about to go south, and if the Qin family had not left by then, he would bring his family to visit. With such politeness, he left.

Qin Bai sent the guests away, and asked Zhao Mo to go back to the room to read a book by himself, he had something on his mind and wanted to be quiet.

Zhao Mo could roughly guess why he was bothered, so he obediently retired, and went to find Qin Hanzhen, and told her everything he heard, eliminating what was not suitable for the little girl to listen to.

Qin Hanzhen was very surprised, and couldn't help but open her mind: "Did the He family and Zhao Hao know each other for a long time? Otherwise, how could she take her daughter directly to Beijing to defect when she was desperate? When she first arrived in the capital, she didn't even knock on the door of the Chengenhou Mansion. And the last time my cousin saw her rich and glamorous appearance, if she was next to a clan, although the clan is now down, but there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, that level of pomp and circumstance should be nothing to the prince of the former Jin Dynasty. It's just that today my father wrote a letter, but said that she came to Chengenhou Mansion in a simple dress to sell miserably. If it's not a plot, she's really down!"

Zhao Mo said: "Zhao Hao was disgusted by the emperor because of the leakage of the prince, and he took a concubine under the pretext of filial piety, and gave him his title. He should be embarrassed by now. If it is really for this matter, the concubine is to be dismissed, and it is very likely that this He family really has nowhere to go. Her daughter is still expected to continue to be a stepdaughter to Zhao Jie, but her situation is much more embarrassing. ”

Qin Hanzhen took a deep breath: "Cousin Zhao, you ...... Probably don't know. The daughter born to He and her ex-husband was actually rumored before. Her ex-husband Chen family, who has always refused to admit that Sister Zhang is the flesh and blood of the Chen family, said that from the day Sister Zhang was born, when He was pregnant with her, Chen Xiaowei was not at home. He said that Captain Chen had secretly returned home, but he was afraid that Shangguan would accuse him of negligence, so he didn't dare to reveal it. But who can testify to this kind of thing except for her and the dead Chen Xiaowei? Whether the Chen family really knew that Sister Zhang'er's background was suspicious, or whether they poured dirty water on Sister Zhang'er's head purely to occupy Chen Xiaowei's inheritance, no one could tell. ”

She looked at Zhao Mo: "I'm actually a little suspicious. In the past, among the people who waited beside the He family, there was a mother-in-law from the Jin Palace. And He's favoritism for his daughter, but lukewarm for his son. Cousin Zhao, do you think it's possible...... Sister Zhang is actually Zhao Jie's daughter? He's elder brother He Ziyu used to work in the Jin princess Zhuangzi when he was in Linxian County, maybe it was at that time that he caught up with the son of the Jin princess?"

Zhao Mo was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't have time to investigate why Qin Hanzhen knew so many things that shouldn't be known to girls, and it didn't seem impossible to just consider the logical relationship of the whole thing. In this way, it can also explain why Zhao Zhen took a woman who had given birth as a concubine, and why he regarded the woman's daughter as a righteous daughter and was properly raised. He still doesn't have a son and a half daughter under his knees, if the girl named Sister Zhang is his own flesh and blood, how can he allow her to be left behind?!

It's just that in this way, one thing doesn't make sense. Since the He family plans to remain incognito and change her identity to be Zhao Jie's concubine, if she enters the spectrum and gets a name in the future, it will also be conducive to her daughter's future. Even if she may be dismissed now, as long as her daughter is still there, Zhao Hao will not really abandon her. Then why did she still go looking for her son? If it was known that she was once Yongjiahou's daughter-in-law, not only would she slap Yongjiahou's mansion in the face, but even her own daughter would fall into an embarrassing situation, right?
