Chapter 36: The Bitter Lord
The Xue family and Qin Bofu were actually not afraid of what Qin Ke would use, but they just remembered the mess between his wife Xiao Huang's maiden brother and his own family, and they didn't want to meet the bitter master.
At the beginning, Xiao Huang mentioned that his maiden niece was born very much like Queen Qin, and she was also of the right age, so she intended to recommend her to Beijing and ask for a good marriage. Xue and Qin Bofu's mother and son discussed, and felt that the reason why the long room and the third room were so beautiful was not all because of the queen's mother? Now that the queen mother has been dead for almost 30 years, if there is also a girl in the second room who is a mother in the palace, she can also be beautiful. Besides, the crown prince left by the queen is half dead, and the emperor has no other heirs, so he will have to pass the children in the step-clan. If his mother can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor in the palace, then the glory and wealth of the second room will be inexhaustible!
However, there is no suitable girl in their second room, a Qin Jinyi can't marry the future prince, and her reputation is also ruined, and the emperor has always regarded himself as an aunt and grandfather, so it is impossible to accept her, so they have to look for someone outside. The girl of the Huang family is just right, she has a little kinship with Queen Qin, and she is born like Queen Qin. As long as the second room successfully recommends someone into the palace to be a concubine, then Huang Yiqiu's maiden parents have no roots, and they are not at their mercy in the future?
The second room actively worked for Huang Yiqiu, and wanted to send her into the palace to accept her favor, but there was no way, and Aunt Fu refused to enter the palace again to ask the queen mother and concubines. Qin Bofu had no choice but to discuss with the Xue family, wanting to take advantage of Nian Hui'an. The person in charge of Nianhui Nunnery is a maidservant girl from the Qin family, whether it is coercion or temptation, it must not be difficult to insert Huang Yiqiu into the nunnery to be a fake nun with hair and practice. The emperor has to go to Nianhui Nunnery several times a year, as long as he sees Huang Yiqiu once, looking at the face that looks like the queen's mother, can he still not be moved? When Huang Yiqiu enters the palace as a concubine, it is a matter of course!
Unexpectedly, the silver was spent, Huang Yiqiu also entered the Nianhui Nunnery, and the emperor rumored that he also went to the nunnery several times, and I heard that he did see people, but he didn't say anything, let alone pamper this beautiful lady who looked like a dead wife, and only let her pray for the queen in the nunnery. Now, three or four years have passed, and Huang Yiqiu is an old girl in her early twenties, and she is still reciting scriptures in the nunnery! If it weren't for the emperor's decree that she should be shaved, she would be no different from a real nun.
Such a situation, not to mention that Huang Yiqiu was unexpected, even Qin Bofu and the Xue family were stupid. The emperor's three palaces and six courtyards are not a kind of lover, so how could they be willing to let a big girl with yellow flowers who was born like a queen not touch it, and only ask her to recite scriptures? No matter what they think, they all feel that the emperor has no reason not to favor Huang Yiqiu? Could it be that Huang Yiqiu has something to dislike the emperor? But she was not rubbed in the nunnery, and other nuns treated her coldly but politely, not as if they were angry with Long Yan.
Rao is Qin Bofu and the Xue family were puzzled, and they also knew that this road might not be able to go through. Maybe Huang Yiqiu's means are higher, he has spent a few years grinding hard work, and he still has a day to come out, but in a short period of time, they can't see the results. They have nothing to do, they can only consider themselves unlucky, after all, they have done everything they can do, and they can't force the emperor to go to Huang Yiqiu's bed, right?
But Uncle Huang is in trouble. Uncle Huang and Grandma Huang, a husband and wife, have lived in the township for a long time, but they don't know what the truth is. Since the daughter has entered the Nianhui Nunnery and has also met the emperor, why can't she enter the palace to be a mother? Since the Xue family, a noble imperial relative, said that the emperor had already seen their daughter, why hadn't the palace made a decree to canonize their parents? Even if it was a reward of some gold and silver property, it was good!
The Xue family and Qin Bofu appeased the Huang family impatiently, only saying that the prince had returned to the palace at that time, his position was stable, and the emperor did not lack sons, so it was not good to suddenly say anything about the Na'vi people, so as not to provoke the prince's suspicion, so that they did not have to worry, and when Huang Yiqiu was pregnant with a dragon son in the palace, for the sake of the dragon son, sooner or later they would be crowned concubines, and then they would be canonized, wouldn't it be more beautiful?
Uncle Huang and Grandma Huang were coaxed by the Xue family and Qin Bofu's mother and son, and finally stopped. The Xue family was afraid that they would hear news that they should not hear if they lived in the city, or shouted in front of outsiders that their daughter had entered the palace and became a mother, causing trouble and affecting the second room of the Qin family, so they simply found a reason to send the Huang family to a village on the outskirts of Beijing, and raised them in a semi-forbidden area, not so that the Huang family knew their whereabouts, nor did they let the Huang family on the Jiangning side contact them, and even when the people in the long room and the third room asked, they also said that they did not know. After hiding it like this for a few years, now they met Uncle Huang's brother-in-law in the long house, who happened to be the brother of the Qin family, I am afraid it is not so easy to get rid of.
They remembered the several letters they had received from Jiang Ning in the past few months, and their hearts were even more empty.
Qin Bofu discussed with the Xue family in a low voice: "Mother, this Qin Keyong was also an insider back then, if he asked, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain, is it to avoid it?"
Xue Shi was a little hesitant, she was still reluctant to be attracted by Princess Xiuning: "What are you afraid of him?" If he asks again, we just say we don't know." The Huang family doesn't live in our house, as long as we don't say anything, no one can help us. ”
Qin Bofu was right to think about it, so he turned his heart sideways, dispelled the idea of leaving, and concentrated on waiting in the main hall in the front yard of Fuguiju. He thought that the charcoal basin was not warm enough, the wall of fire was not burning, and the house was too cold, so he pointed out that the girls and mothers-in-law were wandering around, and then glanced at the limping appearance of the eldest daughter, and snorted coldly: "Isn't this able to walk? What are you putting in the car?
Qin Jinyi's heart was full of grievances, her eyes turned red when she heard this, she held back her tears, pursed her lips tightly, and secretly thought: Father treats me like this today, and I will be rewarded in the future! Isn't my father just thinking about soaring? He still continues to stay in his current position. really promoted him, but I'm afraid that I won't look down on her eldest daughter even more. It takes her to climb the door and be close, high up, and her father is low in front of her for the sake of power, so it's good. But her grandmother treated her well, and when the time came, she took more care of her grandmother and gave her more gold and silver, and that was it.
Not to mention how Qin Jinyi fantasized about it, Qin Jian came out of the second door and saw that Qin Hanzhen was already standing in the courtyard, talking to Qin Keyong. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet the latter.
Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Keyong: "Uncle Keyong came back in a hurry, I didn't receive your letter saying that I wanted to come before, otherwise our house would have cleaned the yard a long time ago." ”
Qin Ke smiled: "It's okay, it's the same wherever I live." Now I also have a business in the capital, and there is a house over there, which is cheaper to enter and exit than the Hou Mansion. I wrote to the person who asked the merchant to tidy up the house half a month ago, and today I just came to say goodbye to the elders and send the New Year's gifts from the clan by the way. ”
Qin Jian hurriedly said: "It's almost the New Year, what is Uncle Keyong doing when he comes to live in the business?" Qingfeng Pavilion can move in at any time, and it is convenient to go to the third room, so let's stay today?"
Qin Hanzhen also nodded. It doesn't matter which house you live in, it's just across the alley anyway.
Qin Keyong shook his head with a smile: "That's it." If I go to Beijing alone, it is naturally convenient to live with you, and I can always listen to the teachings of my uncles and aunts. But this time I brought my wife, she is not good, and her temper is also bad, if it disturbs the tranquility of the elders of the sixth room, it is not mine. ”
"Huh?" Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian were both taken aback, "Uncle Keyong brought his aunt over?"
Qin Keyong actually took the Xiao Huang clan to Beijing? Why? Didn't the Xiao Huang clan refuse to go to Beijing in the past? She decided on the land in Jiangning, and she also opposed Qin Keyong's outward development. Every year when Qin Keyong wants to go out to do business, she inevitably has to cry, and suspiciously thinks that Qin Keyong goes out so diligently, he must have set up an outer room outside, and he is clamoring to catch fox spirits for a while, and at the same time pretending to be generous and virtuous, asking Qin Keyong to bring his "sister" home to settle down, and there are new tricks every year. This is already a well-known joke in the Qin clan.
Qin Ke pursed his lips and said lightly: "She won't come this year." She...... Her mother's father is gone, and I don't know how many letters came to the capital in the previous year, but they always fell into the sea, and her brother, sister-in-law and nephew never went back. Before the old man died, he scolded his children and grandchildren for not being filial, and he didn't even have a filial son and grandson who could fall and drive the spirit before the spirit, and in the end it was someone from the Huang clan who chose a child to inherit to the name of a brother who died in your aunt's early years, as a filial grandson, and then the funeral was done. Although your aunt has been confused for a lifetime, she finally understands a little, and asks me to take her to the capital for a trip, so that I can find her brother back and repent in front of my father's spirit. ”
Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian were both very surprised, they never expected such a change in the Huang family.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the carriage behind him: "Is Aunt Keyong sitting in the carriage......? The weather is cold, doesn't it matter to her? When the southerners arrive in the capital, they may not be very resistant to the cold. Uncle Keyong, do you want to send her to the house first, and then talk about getting warm?"
Qin Keyong hesitated, originally thinking that more things are better than less, but thinking of his wife's sick appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded: "You don't have to enter the Qingfeng Pavilion, just ask her to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm her body." We still have to live on the side of the merchant and not disturb the Hou Mansion. ”
Qin Jian was not reluctant. He had a good impression of Qin Keyong, but he couldn't stand Xiao Huang's family, of course he wouldn't ask for hardship, thinking that the fire wall on the side of Fuguiju had risen, and the wing room was also warm, and it was much more convenient to send Qin Keyong and his wife over to serve tea than to open the door of Qingfeng Pavilion.
Qin Keyong turned around and lifted the curtain of the car and helped his wife down. Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian stood in front of the car and looked at it, Xiao Huang was wearing a gray long jacket and a stone blue skirt, wearing a black cloak outside, and only a silver hairpin on his head. The brother and sister glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of karma in their hearts.
Qin Jian led the way, Qin Hanzhen walked behind to help support Xiao Huang's family, and a group of four people with two girls walked into Fuguiju together. Qin Jian ordered the maid in the courtyard to open the door of the wing room, and the Xue family in the main room was waiting anxiously, and when he heard him ask people to greet distinguished guests, he thought that Princess Xiuning was coming, so he was busy sorting out his clothes and accessories, and greeted him with a smile: "But the noble man has arrived?" but bumped into Xiao Huang's head-on, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the Xue family recognized the person, and was immediately taken aback, and turned around to leave.
Xiao Huang's face changed drastically, and he didn't know where he got the strength, he broke free from Qin Keyong and Qin Hanzhen, and suddenly pounced on Xiao Xue's family: "What is my aunt running?
