When Qin Youzhen returned to the Chengenhou Mansion, she was exhausted.

However, thinking that she had finally persuaded her brother Qin Bofu, she settled down again.

She doesn't want to save Qin Bofu's political future, as long as he can stop, restrain the Xue family from doing anything more, and live honestly, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, the three rooms of the Qin family have the legacy of the queen's mother, as long as they don't commit the unforgivable crime of death, the emperor and the crown prince will not be too embarrassed. This time the disaster suffered by the second room was of course the punishment of the two nobles for them, but as long as they obediently accepted the punishment and kept to themselves from then on, the nobles would not kill them all. I am afraid that if they do not repent, they will cause greater disasters in the future, and completely make the nobles lose patience with them, and then it will be a dead end. Qin Youzhen tried her best today to cut off this possibility.

Now that his brother-in-law Qin Bofu has been persuaded by her, as long as he will not be overwhelmed by his mother Xue again, he will become Xue's echo worm again. Qin Youzhen thought of his brother-in-law's temperament, and felt that if he could really harden his heart, the Xue family might not be able to beat him. To put it bluntly, Qin Bofu is the pillar of the second room, and without his support, the things that a widow of the Xue family can do are extremely limited.

Qin Youzhen felt that she would continue to pay attention to the movements of the second room, and she would have to look for the two rings of green plums and grapes again, so that they could act as her eyes and ears and find out the next movements in the second room.

Qin Youzhen was able to feel a little more at ease, but when Lu Pu saw her physically and mentally exhausted, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Madame, why do you have to work so hard, you have always been unfriendly with your mother and brother, and it is thankless to persuade them, even if you are really convinced, it will have no effect on you and me." The Huang family has already spoken, and it will not hinder my promotion, and the previous incident was indeed just a misunderstanding. Approaching the end of the year, the officials are busy, and there are foreign officials who can't take care of me for a while. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, you don't have to worry. Why do you bother to go back to your parents' house to be angry?"

Qin Youzhen smiled bitterly: "Then it's my mother's family, it's impossible to really leave it alone." Don't think that I really feel sorry for them, I don't want to see them suffer, I really don't want to see them confused anymore, and the misfortune they have done not only harmed themselves, but also affected others. This time, the officials prevaricated about you, although it may be just a misunderstanding, but it is more likely that the Huang family didn't pay attention, and the people on the officials side took it upon themselves to implicate you. You and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years, you are just a false name of marrying the emperor's relatives, in fact, you haven't touched the light at all, you really started from a low level, and relied on your own talents to survive to this day. It's okay if I can't bring you any benefits, but I must not let my mother's family drag you down and cause you to lose your career. Although I am tired of this matter today, as long as I can persuade my brother to change his mind, from now on to keep to himself, and no longer harm others and himself, it will be a good thing for everyone to be happy. ”

Lu Pu sighed, held her hand and said, "Good madam, who said that I didn't touch the light of your Qin family? Being able to have Mrs. as a wife is already the greatest light, and whether it is touched or not is a trivial matter." ”

Qin Youzhen's heart was sweet, and she couldn't help laughing: "My lord is about to be my grandfather, how can my mouth be as sweet as when I was young? If they let them hear it, what will it say?"

Loop raised his eyebrows: "What if you hear it? This is your mother's house, and your mother's family knows that I am so good with my wife, and I can only be happy for you." Even if someone laughs at it in private, what's the big deal?"

Qin Youzhen pursed her lips and smiled again, and said with a straight face: "My brother's matter, let's see what happens next." There is nothing we can do but wait and see. On the part of the ministry, I don't know if there will be any definite news coming down a year ago, so I can only wait. It's another purpose for us to enter Beijing, and while we're still free, it's time to plan well. ”

Lu Pu understood: "Are you talking about Yue Niang's marriage? Chu Ming is not too young, if there is a suitable girl, he can also be determined." ”

"Chu Ming is not in a hurry, his daughter-in-law will be the eldest daughter-in-law of our family in the future, and he will have to watch it for a year or two before he can rest assured. Even if a boy gets married later, he is not afraid. He can concentrate on studying for the time being, and when he has fame, is he afraid that there will be no good girls to choose from?" Qin Youzhen said, "But Yue Niang's marriage can't be delayed any longer." She is seventeen this year, and if she doesn't decide, she will really become an old girl. If it weren't for the fact that I saw that she was born so well, she was both talented and beautiful, had a good character, was well-behaved, sensible and caring, and I was really reluctant to let her marry at will in the local area, and I would not have delayed until such an age and did not set a family affair for her. It's just that now that I'm in Beijing, I don't know whose children can be more compatible with her, and I'm a little troubled. ”

Lupu thought for a while: "In the past few days, we have also walked through several relatives, and there are boys of the right age. Among them, Brother Jian in your mother's house and Xu Zheng, the eldest grandson of the Xu family, are the most outstanding. It's just that your second brother and sister protect their son like an eyeball, and they want to find a perfect daughter-in-law for him, I'm afraid they won't look down on our Lu family. The Xu family is the same, except for the eldest lady who has the intention to tell her niece and granddaughter to Xu Zheng, others are more optimistic about the second girl in your mother's room. In this way, although these two children are outstanding, they may not be a good match for our Yue Niang. ”

Qin Youzhen pursed her lips: "It's just that brother of the Xu family, I heard a few children talk in private, saying that there is a noble girl in the clan who has taken a fancy to him, but I am afraid that even Sister Changfang Hua'er will not be able to do anything with him, and people like us dare not think about it." It's Brother Jian'er, who knows the roots, but also gentle and kind, age, appearance, family background, talent, everything is compatible with Yue Niang, if you can really achieve a marriage, wouldn't everyone be happy? Although the second brother and sister have a high vision, we Yue Niang is not bad, and it may not be impossible to enter her eyes. ”

Loup was surprised: "What...... Are you really interested in this marriage?" he never expected that his wife would really come up with this idea. He originally planned to take stock of the boys in his relatives' families, and then go to his classmates and the same year's house to find an outstanding son of a scholarly eunuch family who is the right person, and give his daughter as a son-in-law. If you ask your daughter to marry into a prince's family, it seems to be ......

He hesitated.

Qin Youzhen also has her own reasons: "We are not sure if we can stay in the capital in the future, if we release the foreign post in the future, Chu Ming is a boy, whether it follows us out or stays in the capital to study, it doesn't matter." If Yue Niang, a weak and delicate daughter, is married and alone in Beijing, how can you and I be at ease? Which family is more reliable than the Chengenhou Mansion? I have been close to my aunt and brothers since childhood, and there are still my old aunts and aunts here, and the nephews and nieces of the younger generation are also kind, and they are friendly with Yue Niang. If Yue Niang can marry into this family, we don't have to worry that she will be wronged. Even if my second brother and sister are stronger, and they want to marry a daughter-in-law with a good background, they are not mean and intolerant, and she also likes Yue Niang a lot, and she will never toss the child without anything. As for the difference between the two families...... Although the Changfang is a marquis's mansion, according to the laws of the imperial court, each generation is downgraded to a first-class lord, and when it comes to Brother Jian'er, there is no title to attack. He studied for the imperial examination and took a career in office, just for the sake of the future. The second brother is now about to be promoted to the fifth grade, and you are now the fourth grade, master. The daughter of the fourth-rank official married the young master of the fifth-grade official, speaking of which, no one has wronged anyone. Even if the second brother and sister can't turn the corner for a while, after a long time, they will always figure it out. ”

Loop was silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Qin Youzhen smiled again: "Actually, I just have such a thought, and I haven't said it to anyone." Doesn't the eldest lady of the Xu family also intend to give her granddaughter to Brother Jian'er? That's the niece and granddaughter of my aunt's mother's family, if my aunt also wants to, I won't be able to rob her of the old man. We don't have to bring this up, let's let the children get along first. If Yue Niang and Brother Jian get along well, and the aunt and the second brother and sister think that Yue Niang is good, and take the initiative to propose marriage, wouldn't it be more decent? If the two children really don't have a chance, then I will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit relatives and see a few more children, and maybe there will be more suitable candidates, but I don't know. ”

Loup smiled and nodded, "That's right." Although our Lu family is far less prominent than the Hou Mansion, it is not a family that intends to climb high branches. If the child is outstanding and likable, we will naturally not stand in the way of the child's future. But if people don't want to, our children will not forget the rules and etiquette, and if they are confused, they should have a better place to go. It's not that I'm boasting, our Yue Niang is extremely outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament, and I have never seen a better child than her. Others are not blind, so how can they not see her benefits? Naturally, there are those who have the discerning eye to propose marriage to us. ”

Qin Youzhen smiled: "The benefits of children, we as parents just know it in our hearts, but we don't have to be so boastful." Let people hear it, and think that we are the princess selling melons. ”

Lu Pu raised his eyebrows: "The melon is not good, Wang Po forced it to sell, that's hers." But our family's melons are good, why can't we tell the truth and praise them? Being too humble is also to be disgusting. We husband and wife have never been annoying people. ”

Qin Youzhen glanced at him with disgust, and then looked outside the house: "After a while, why is it snowing again?" This year's weather seems to be colder than in previous years, so we have to ask people to add more charcoal." I don't know when I can get the new cotton clothes that I asked someone to make, but I should add a few more big wool cloaks to cope with this snowy day. Where did the children go? It's too cold, I'm afraid that the ink will be condensed, let them rest more, don't always sit in the house to read and practice calligraphy. ”

Lu Pu said: "Why did I lock them up? The two sons had just finished their homework for the day, and then they went to their cousins to run and play like crazy, and I don't know where they went, and it is estimated that they either returned from Zheguitai and Yan at the back, or went to the garden. It was Yue Niang, who asked her sisters to invite her, and went to Songfeng Hall, saying that the girl from the third room also came, and they all ate Laba porridge together in Songfeng Hall, and sat around the game. ”
