Chapter 229: Misunderstanding
Because the Xue family had not opened up the situation at the top level for a long time, she failed to get a letter from the princess of Shu, saying that she was willing to order Qin Jinyi for her youngest son, so she directly put on the idea of Zhao Yan, the youngest son of the king of Shu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She thought very simply, it is rumored that the King of Shu and his wife love this little son very much, as long as Zhao Yan, the youngest son of the King of Shu, takes the initiative to marry Qin Jinyi, coupled with Qin Jinyi's family background, there is no reason for the King of Shu and his wife to refuse. Although her granddaughter is still young, she will be married in three years, which is enough to be engaged. The youngest son of the King of Shu is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is a little too early to get married at this age, and it is just right to wait until he is eighteen or nine years old. Qin Jinyi was born beautiful, and it should not be difficult to please the young son of the King of Shu.
At that time, the Xue family didn't know who to inquire about the whereabouts of the young son of the King of Shu, and after learning that he celebrated the birthday of the Queen Mother, he went out of the palace with several brothers in the clan to go to the temple to pray for the Queen Mother. The Xue family sent a few male and female servants to wait for Qin Jinyi to sit in a carriage with hands and feet, and slowly drove to the only way for the young son of the king of Shu and his party to return to the city. When people passed by, Qin Jinyi's carriage "coincidentally" broke down and couldn't move. Qin Jinyi "recognized" the two young princes of the Xiuning Palace, who were familiar with the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, and sent someone to ask for help.
King Xiuning had a good relationship with the Qin family, and his wife and children would come to the Chengenhou Mansion from time to time, but they had little to do with the second room - in the eyes of the people in the Xiuning Palace, the second room was not a worthy friend. In recent months, King Xiuning has been friendly with Qin Bai, and his son has seen Qin Bai a few times, and knows that Qin Jinyi is Qin Bai's niece-granddaughter, so he will help Qin Bai in front of him.
Traveling with the youngest son of the King of Shu and the two little sons of the Xiuning Palace, in addition to a few children of the clan who were of the same age as them, there were also two county lords of the Shanyang Palace, who took a luxurious carriage. If the second son of Xiuning Palace's mansion wants to send her home according to Qin Jinyi's feelings, then he has to let her get into this carriage.
The situation of the Sanyang Royal Mansion is somewhat special in this dynasty. King Shanyang is the youngest son of the first emperor's brother, and his father used to have the title of prince, but his vision and luck were not very good, and he was automatically involved in the battle for the succession of the prince in the later years of the first emperor. The old prince supported one of the princes to take the throne and also participated in the framing of Imajo. However, the prince he supported was soon pulled down by the other princes, and he also suffered from the disaster of the pond fish and died. The mother of the king of Shanyang had several sons and daughters, and there were many concubines born to concubines in the side room. But after the death of the old prince, the princess probably felt that the whole family had been cornered, and instead of surviving and being humiliated by other princes, it was better for the family to commit suicide, die a decent death, and be reunited under Jiuquan. So she poisoned everyone in her family, almost the whole family died overnight, and she herself committed suicide by poisoning.
King Shanyang was her youngest son, who happened to be unwell at the time, and vomited out after drinking poisonous tea, and the poisoning was not deep.
The orphaned King of Sanyo did not live very well during the struggle for the heir, and his body was affected by toxins and he was sick and weak for a long time. It wasn't until he ascended the throne today, set things right, and asked the Queen Mother to take King Shanyang to the palace for adoption, and his body was able to slowly recuperate. However, it is not so much that the current emperor is kind-hearted and can't bear to see him suffer as an orphan, but rather that all kinds of favors for him are a kind of victor's mercy for cannon fodder. The emperor didn't take him to heart at all, but just used him to show those old ministers who had participated in the succession that he would not turn over the accounts, so as to establish a good reputation of benevolence and generosity.
The King of Shanyang and the King of Shu were raised together in the Queen Mother's Palace, and after a few years, they also had a good relationship. But unlike the King of Shu, the situation of the King of Shanyang is very embarrassing, up and down the palace, inside and outside, from the queen mother, the concubine to the emperor and the ministers, few of them have a good impression of him, and Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, once ignored his existence in front of him and was quite rude. It has nothing to do with him, but it's just that the anger is directed at him because of his dead father. When he turned fourteen years old, he was canonized by a decree from the emperor and the title of a county king, and then went out of the palace to build a mansion.
The king of Shanyang, whether it is a saint or a family background, is very weak, and even the size of the palace is the last among the royal palaces of the clan in the capital. He is an honest and cautious person, in order to live a better life, he married the maiden niece of the Queen Mother Tu, that is, a cousin of the princess of Shu. Although she is the daughter of a side branch, she is also surnamed Tu. After becoming an in-law with the Tu family, King Shanyang's situation was really much better.
Princess Xiao Tu of Shanyang gave birth to three daughters for her husband, and King Shanyang didn't know whether he really loved the princess or was afraid of the Tu family, so he didn't have any side rooms. After giving birth to three daughters in a row, he was also a little discouraged, thinking that perhaps his father had done too much evil, and the retribution was brought to him, causing him to cut off his children and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the princess suddenly became pregnant again, and this time she finally gave birth to a little son. By this year, it will be exactly three years old.
With this son, King Shanyang's original passable personality suddenly changed, and the whole person became active. He seems to feel that his past self is too lazy, if he doesn't cheer up, with his little family background, after preparing a dowry for his three daughters, what can he leave for the precious old man?
For the past thirty years, he has been very honest, has washed away the adverse effects of his dead father, and seems to have stopped being treated coldly by the emperor. He entrusted the elders in the clan, such as King Xiuning, to match him and do a few things for the Zongren Mansion, which was somewhat of a credit. Slowly, he also gained some status in the capital, and the wealth in his hands also accumulated. He is now keen to make contacts and invite fame, not only to save money for his son, but also to leave a good impression on the emperor, hoping that the emperor can reward him with a favor and allow his son not to be demoted.
He is a county king, if according to the rules of this dynasty, when his son-in-law inherits the title, he will have to descend one level, and his son will only be a general of Zhenguo in the future, and the treatment of the county king is much worse. But if it is an elder of the clan who is valued and respected by the emperor like King Xiuning, although he is also the title of county king, he has received the emperor's grace, and his eldest son does not have to be demoted when he inherits the title, and he is still the king of Xiuning. The king of Xiuning was bent on getting this favor from the emperor, but he failed for a long time, and his wife and daughter also knew his heart. Now that the emperor's most favored brother-in-law, the niece and granddaughter of Yongjia Marquis Qin Bai, appeared in front of the two county lords of Shanyang Palace, how could they let go of this opportunity to make friends with the Qin family?
As soon as the second prince of Xiuning Palace's mansion made a suggestion, the two county lords of Shanyang Palace's mansion enthusiastically welcomed Qin Jinyi to their carriage. The two county lords are both descendants, one is thirteen years old and the other is ten years old, both of them are quite handsome, but in terms of beauty, I am afraid they are not as good as Qin Jinyi. It was difficult for them to see Qin Jinyi, only admiration, no jealousy at all, and enthusiastically lent her hair-combing utensils to tidy up her appearance, and invited her to drink tea and eat snacks. From the place of meeting to the Chengenhou Mansion, in less than two quarters of an hour, the three little girls turned out to be good friends.
When they arrived at the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, the two little sons of the Xiuning Mansion needed to send Qin Jinyi into the door, meet Qin Bai or other Qin family elders again, and explain the matter before saying goodbye and leaving. And the youngest son of the King of Shu said very familiarly that he had not seen "Third Uncle Qin" for many days and wanted to ask him for peace. The other sect disciples also knew that the Yongjia Marquis Qin Bai was in full swing, and they enthusiastically wanted to go with them to meet him. Although it was difficult for the county lords of the Shanyang Royal Mansion to meet their male relatives and elders, in the name of the good friends they had just met, they still entered the Kurong Hall hand in hand with Qin Jinyi.
Qin Bai had just sent Zhao Mo away at that time, and he hadn't heard that there was a girl missing from the second room, and he could hear that someone was coming to report, and he was not very happy to see the young son of King Shu, but with the son of King Xiuning, he still appeared in Kurong Hall.
Although the young son of the King of Shu tried his best to behave like him very closely, and seemed to want to please him, he still got closer to the two little princes of Xiuning Palace: "I saw Ling Zun in the palace today, but unfortunately I couldn't talk to him in detail, I only heard him say in a hurry, saying that there was a new ancient painting in the house, which was a "Autumn Scene", which was suspected to be the handiwork of a famous artist in the previous dynasty, but it was a little uncertain. He invited me to go for a tasting, but I didn't have time to make an appointment. When does Ling Zun have some leisure? I'd like to pay a visit. ”
The two little princes of Xiuning Palace's mansion spoke to him in a respectful and cordial tone, somewhat stealing the limelight from the young son of the King of Shu. It's hard for the latter to be young, but he can calm down, just smile, and don't look impatient. Xue Shi, the wife of the second room who rushed to "thank you", was amazed by the demeanor of the young son of the king of Shu, and praised and praised, so that the people of the Qin family blushed - because they were too flattering, they really lost the face of the Qin family.
Qin Bai also noticed it, and praised the young son of the King of Shu with a smile, and said: Thank you for reaching out today and helping your niece, I asked her to come and thank your cousins, right?
In a word, he pointed out the difference between Qin Jinyi and the children of all the sects, and Xue's face turned green with anger.
At this time, the big county lord of the Shanyang Royal Mansion opened his mouth and said to Qin Jinyi: "Although we are of different generations, we are of the same age, so we are still commensurate with each other, right? As long as we have the same temperament, whether we are relatives or not, whether we are of the same generation, what does it matter?"
Qin Jinyi only felt very pleasantly surprised, and agreed to come down. The young son of the King of Shu also followed his cousin's words and echoed a few words.
And the Xue family, about this moment, had some kind of thought, feeling that since the young son of the King of Shu didn't care about the difference in seniority, and the lord of Shanyang, who was good friends with the Shu Wangfu, said that it was more important to have a similar temperament, so Qin Jinyi married the young son of the King of Shu, and the difference in generation was probably not a big deal. As long as the parties are like-minded and consensual, who can say anything? The Shu Wangfu family and the Qin family have no blood relationship.
As soon as this thought changed, the Xue family realized the benefits of separating the family. Because the closest relationship with the royal family is the first family of the Qin family, as long as the family is separated and Qin Huai dies early, the relationship between their second room and the queen of Qin will be estranged. In the eyes of outsiders, maybe the difference in generation between Qin Jinyi and the youngest son of King Shu is not so obvious?
Feeling the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of the youngest son of the King of Shu to his granddaughter Qin Jinyi, the Xue family desperately persuaded his son Qin Bofu, who did not agree to the separation. Regarding the separation of the Qin family, it was not until this time that the three heads of the house finally reached an agreement.
After Qin Hanzhen finished talking about the situation, he added: "I feel that there may be some misunderstanding in the second room, whether it is the young son of the King of Shu or the lord of Shanyang Wang that day, it seems that they are all coming for my grandfather, and for the sake of my grandfather's face, he is very kind to the eldest sister." If the second room is separated, it is difficult to say whether this cordiality can be maintained......"
Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What if it's a misunderstanding, does my cousin still plan to remind them?"
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course not." ”
