Chapter 491: Discord
Qin Jinhua said that she had heard some small gossip, which had been discussed by the Yao family and the Min family, and the Yao family had spit out with Yulan in private, but because she had only heard some intermittently, she did not dare to inquire openly, so she did not know what the specific situation was.
"It seems that a girl from the Cai family was ruined in her marriage, and this matter has something to do with the Chu family. Qin Jinhua said.
"The Chu family?" Qin Hanzhen was a little surprised, "Is it the Chu family?"
Qin Jinhua nodded: "It's his family, but it's not from the Chu family, it's a relative of their family." I don't know what kind of relatives it is, but it sounds like a character who started with the Chu family. ”
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly looked at Qin Jinchun: "Is it true?"
Qin Jinchun gave an affirmative answer.
A girl in the Cai family, whose father is a petty military officer in the border city - many members of the Cai family have this status, distributed in different regions, and more than sixty percent are in the frontier. This girl was promised to the son of her father's colleague a few years ago, and after the two families got engaged, they have always had a very good relationship and got along very well. She and her fiancé can be called childhood sweethearts. Although the other party has never been married to her, for so many years after the engagement, she has not been in contact with the Cai family as an in-law. The fiancé's father even relied on the connections of the Cai family to rise all the way in the border city, and later rose to the capital and became a fourth-grade military attaché. But the girl's father has always been guarding the border city and has never moved.
The girl's father died in the line of duty a few years ago, but the family continued to stay in the border city, and the girl's brother took over the military position of the deceased father. The fiancé didn't say anything about it, and kept in close contact. If it weren't for the death of the man's grandparents and mother one after another, the marriage date was delayed, maybe the girl would have married into the door a long time ago, and she would not have dragged on until she was twenty or two this year, and she was still in the boudoir.
Last year, the man's younger sister married into the Chu family and became the wife of a side branch of the Chu family. This person wants to call Chu Zhengfang his cousin, and the relationship is quite close. After marrying this family, the family rose again and was transferred from the capital to the capital, but instead of entering the center, they went to one of the large camps on the outskirts of Beijing. At this heightening, the fiancé of the girl of the Cai family sent a letter of divorce to his fiancée, and found some excuses that the girl of the Cai family was not good at conduct, so he couldn't bear it and had to withdraw from the marriage. It is reported that this person has already caught up with the Chu family through his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and is about to marry a daughter from a high-ranking family in Beijing as his wife, of course, he is no longer willing to stick to his fiancée who has lived in the border city for a long time.
Although it is said that the girl of the Cai family has the backing of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, her family background is not comparable to ordinary people. But there is still a gap between the niece of Yunyanghou's distant family and the real daughter of a high-ranking family in Beijing. The fiancé made a choice without hesitation, but in this way, he made the ex-fiancée a lot of trouble.
The girl of the Cai family is not young, two out of twenty, and she is an absolute old girl in this era. If she and her family hadn't always kept in mind to keep their promises, and had not postponed the wedding again and again because of the successive funerals and filial piety of her fiancé's family, how could they end up where they are now? With her current situation, I am afraid it would be delusional to want to talk about a good family affair again! If it was a girl with a weaker personality, I was afraid that she would be ashamed and hanged.
The Cai girl's mother vomited blood at that time and later fell ill. Her brother was angry and wanted to settle accounts with the immoral man, but he could not leave the border city easily. By the time they came to the door, the family had already run away, and it was said that they had been transferred to the capital with their son. Seeing this, the Cai family hurriedly sent a message to the main family in Beijing. As soon as Yunyang Hou inquired here, he learned that it was the in-laws of the Chu family, so he wrote a letter to the door to inquire, wanting to find out the tone of the Chu family, but he didn't expect it...... The attitude of the Chu family was very tough, and they didn't say anything polite to Yunyang Hou at all, so they dismissed him back. Therefore, the Marquis of Yunyang was very angry, and immediately sent his cronies to the border city to deal with the matter, and then took the clan sister's family back to the capital.
The Chu family is now relying on Chu Zhengfang, and it is the time to gain power. Yunyang Hou originally had no intention of competing with Chu Zhengfang, but just for the sake of his family's nephews and nephews, he tried to accumulate some self-preservation power, and he did not mean to prevent Chu Zhengfang from holding power. But he had the heart to endure it, but the Chu family had to make inches, and he didn't take their Cai family in his eyes, and he was easily humiliated, which was too much. The Cai family is also a big family, and it has never lost its power now! The Chu family is going to step on the face of the Cai family to the ground now, and one day Chu Zhengfang will really gain momentum and overpower the Marquis of Yunyang, will the Cai family still have a way to live?
Yunyang Hou unceremoniously used his connections to dig up the black history of his sister's treacherous ex-fiancé, and dismissed him directly. That person had just been transferred to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and sat in a high position, but before he was satisfied, he was swept to the end and kicked out of the army directly, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and it would be difficult to turn over in the future. Even the man's father was so affected that he was demoted three levels in a row and transferred to the southwest town to garrison. It was neither a border town nor a safe and prosperous place, and it would take a long time just to get used to. Not to mention that there are no major wars in that area, and it is an area where the main task is to pacify the border people and try not to take clean-up actions, the main duty of the military attache is to maintain law and order, and there are many troubles, but there is no opportunity to make military achievements......
The most important thing is that the local generals in charge of the army have old grudges with Chu Zhengfang, are not subject to his control, and have quite prestige in the army. If the Chu family wants to transfer people back, it will be even more difficult.
No matter how angry the Chu family was at this time, and how much they resented Yunyang Hou, anyway, the latter had already finished the work of revenge, and Chu Zhengfang did not say anything, and it is estimated that he would not really turn his face against Yunyang Hou for this matter. Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has succeeded to the throne, it does not mean that Chu Zhengfang can really rely on the power of the crown princess and do whatever he wants in the court. In this matter, the Chu family is not reasonable, and the person who was convicted is indeed guilty.
And whether Chu Zhengfang's silence is related to the fact that the crown princess recently fell ill and the East Palace chose a new Liangyuan, no one can say clearly. Anyway, at this time, even if Chu Zhengfang really had any dissatisfaction in his heart, he couldn't sue the crown princess Tang. The Empress Dowager and the emperor's perception of the crown princess is now at an extremely delicate critical point, it is not a matter of life and death, and smart people should not easily cause trouble for the crown princess.
It was the Tang family who privately entrusted someone to Yunyang Hou to give a message, and apologized to the Cai family on behalf of his nephew Chu Zhengfang. It's just not clear whether this is the Tang family's own initiative, or whether it was really entrusted by Chu Zhengfang.
After Qin Jinchun finished talking about the whole thing, he sighed: "Although I have heard some rumors from outside, I really didn't expect it...... How could the Chu family be so arrogant?! That is the Marquis of Yunyang! Commander Chu is now just a deputy commander, so he will not give face to his boss. Even if he is the cousin of the crown princess, but in the Chu family, he is the only one who is related to the crown princess, can the Chu family be so proud? The Tang family is not so public, and his family trembles. ”
She shivered: "Lord Minshun once mentioned to me that she doesn't like to play with the children of the Chu family. However, whenever the crown princess saw Mrs. Chu Zhengfang bring her children into the palace, she always let the county lord and her cousins play together. The county lord was very impatient, and he didn't want to disappoint the crown princess......"
Qin Jinhua asked in surprise: "Could it be that the Chu family dares to be arrogant and rude in front of the county lord?"
Qin Jinchun paused: "Of course they don't dare, it's just ...... The county lord didn't like their courtesy. This was said implicitly, in fact, it was the county lord of Minshun who suspected that the cousin of the Chu family was beating her up and trying to become the lord in the future, which made her very unhappy.
Qin Hanzhen had been pondering for a long time, and then said, "I don't really understand, why did the Chu family do such a thing to openly slap the Cai family in the face? Even if Chu Zhengfang would replace the position of Yunyang Hou in the future, it would be in the future." What's more, it was just Chu Zhengfang alone. What does the rest of the Chu family have to do with the crown princess? Didn't Chu Zhengfang's father marry and fill the house, and he still had some discord with his eldest son? That's why Chu Zhengfang was close to his uncle's Tang family? To put it bluntly, Chu Zhengfang was fighting for power by virtue of his status as a foreign relative, but now he has always advocated suppressing his relatives, and even our Qin family has such a close relationship with the royal family that it has been suppressed, so why can Chu Zhengfang be an exception? He can sit in his current position, of course, he also has a certain amount of strength. But when it comes to not taking Yunyang Hou in his eyes, is he more senior than Yunyang Hou, or is he more military meritorious than Yunyang Hou? Or is his prestige in the army higher than that of Yunyang Hou? What kind of support did the crown princess give him, so that he felt that he could beat all the powerful ministers of the court?"
The crown princess can't be the master of the court, and she can't even say anything in the East Palace, if Chu Zhengfang really thinks of himself as higher than the Marquis of Yunyang, he will be too conceited, right?
Qin Han really couldn't figure it out, and Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun couldn't figure it out. However, Cai Chu's two families are not in harmony, but they have a deep understanding.
Qin Jinchun said: "Now the Cai family is sending someone to pick up the family of the clan girl who was divorced into Beijing. Cousin Lu said that Mrs. Yunyang Hou had already sent a message to the whole family, and she was going to tell this sister-in-law a decent and good kiss, and she had to get rid of all the anger she had suffered before. The cousin-in-law also said that he had already given the two uncles a good position in Beijing, and as long as they came, they would be able to take office immediately after a two-day break. The treacherous man thought that he could soar in Beijing, but now he can only nest in the border and watch his ex-fiancée's family live a good life in the capital. ”
Qin Jinhua clasped his palms together and smiled: "This is really relieving! That's what you should do!" She also thought of an idea, "On my birthday next month, my mother said that she would have a small banquet at home, so I asked a few friends to come and play." I don't know if that Cai girl has entered Beijing by then? How about I give her the next post?"
Qin Jinchun thought this was a good idea: "If you can make a new friend, please ask Cousin Lu to bring her with you when the time comes." ”
However, Qin Hanzhen also remembered to remind Qin Jinhua, "Pay attention to proportions in terms of etiquette, this person is only a few years older than us, but he is an elder in terms of seniority." ”
Qin Jinhua waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't be rude, I just treat her as the aunt of the Huang family." ”
