Chapter 486: Selected
On the way back to Pei Guogong's mansion, Qin Jinyi looked at her husband Pei Cheng in the same car several times, and it was obvious that Pei Cheng was so dull that he noticed it: "Lady, do you have anything to say to me?"
Qin Jinyi cleared her throat and said softly, "Yes...... Cheng Lang, I don't know if you heard anything from my father? My sister ...... The fourth sister seems to be engaged to Cai 17 of the Yunyang Hou Mansion. When my grandmother told me, it really scared me!"
"Cai Seventeen?!" Pei Cheng was very surprised, he remembered his sister Pei Yin's inappropriate refusal to marry, and coughed a little uncomfortably, "It turned out to be him? β
Qin Jinyi pursed her lips: "I didn't expect the fourth sister to settle the family matter so soon, I thought it would ...... She should have talked to you about kissing ......."
Pei Chenggan laughed: "This ...... It's all the idea of the elders, but I haven't seen my sister-in-law much. My father and mother did have a crush on her, but at that time, it was only a private conversation between the two families, and they didn't even publicize the news. Now that I am married to you, what are you doing with the old things? You are my wife. It is also a good thing that the sister-in-law can marry Cai XVII. She's getting married, and you can rest assured, aren't you?"
I wish her marriage didn't go well, at least not better than me, and she couldn't marry better than me!
Such a thought flashed through Qin Jinyi's heart, her face did not show any abnormality, but the words in her mouth did not seem to approve of her sister's family affairs: "I always feel that this family business is a little inappropriate. My father only thought that the Yunyang Hou Mansion was prominent, so he agreed to the Cai family's proposal, but Cai XVII was just a distant nephew of the Yunyang Hou, and he also followed Cai Shizi to do some auxiliary things on weekdays. You also know that my cousin Lu married Cai Shizi, and now the fourth sister has remarried, which can be regarded as a kiss. But...... is already an in-law, can I afford to kiss and kiss again? Cai Seventeen's identity seems to be a little bit of a bad match with my fourth sister. If I marry such a person, what will my fourth sister do in the future? I tried to persuade my father, but my father couldn't listen. β
Pei Cheng said: "Cai Seventeen is nothing bad. Although he is only a distant nephew of the Marquis of Yunyang, he has been raised in the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion since he was a child, and he is no different from his own child. He is very good with Cai Shizi and Cai Shijue, and no one in the Yunyang Hou Mansion dares to underestimate him. I also heard that the Marquis of Yunyang values him very much, although now he is only a small seventh-rank military attache in the city guard, but he is about to be promoted to the sixth rank, and he may have to be sent to the border city next year. If he can make military achievements in the border city, Cai XVII's future future is unlimited. The sister-in-law married him, and a decree can be obtained steadily, and this family business is very good. β
Because Pei Yin offended the relationship of the Cai family by refusing to marry, Pei Guogong's mansion had actually paid special attention to a lot of information about Cai Seventeen in private, so Pei Cheng knew in his heart how good and promising this young man who had no chance with his sister was. He couldn't say anything, but he really sighed in his heart about the vision and luck of the Qin family's second room.
A relative with real power is a relative with real power, and he can see Cai Qiqi's potential at a glance and get such a good son-in-law. Who said that the second room of the Qin family was the weakest one among the three heads of the Qin family? Whether it was Lu Pu or Cai Seventeen, they all had bright futures. With such in-laws, the second room of the Qin family will only be stable and rich in the future, and no one dares to underestimate them.
At the same time, Pei Cheng also felt that the pressure on his shoulders increased instantly. is also the son-in-law of the second room of the Qin family, and he seems to be much worse than his predecessor Lu Pu and his future brother-in-law Cai XVII. He doesn't even know if he will be able to enter the government with grace in the future and become a sesame petty official. Before my grandfather died, the emperor came to visit him, and he only promised a grace at that time, but he did not say which house the descendants could get. Maybe it's him, maybe it's the cousin in the second room, or even the two little cousins in the third room. Pei Cheng was not sure, but he had no achievements in the imperial examination, he failed to even pass the Xiucai examination, and he failed to enter the Guozijian, and his kung fu in riding and archery was mediocre, so he had no hope of taking the path of a military attachΓ©...... Do you really have to wait until the cousin of the third room enters the palace and becomes a nobleman, and then rely on the mercy of the third room to seek a false position as a relative? Isn't this too useless?
Pei Cheng was immersed in his own thoughts, worried about his future. Qin Jinyi didn't understand his mood at all, but was unhappy because of his answer.
Cai Qiqi has a great future? She is deeply valued by the Yunyang Hou family? This is not the answer she wants to hear! She wants to hear that her sister is going to marry a poor waste, and she will not be able to get out in her life, so she can only grovel in front of her! Qin Jinchun is not as good as her sister in everything, how can she have a more glorious future than her?!
Qin Jinyi couldn't help but interrupt Pei Cheng's thoughts: "Cai Qiqi still wants to go to the border city? If my sister really marries him, won't she have to suffer? What if Cai Qiqi has a bad luck in the future and makes her widowed? It is not cost-effective to take such a big risk for the sake of a fate. If only there was any way to stop this family business. β
Pei Cheng frowned and said, "This is not appropriate. Since it is a family matter decided by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, there is nothing wrong with Cai Qiqi, how can he rashly stop it? After all, the lady is just a married sister, and it is not good to meddle in the lifelong affairs of her mother's sister. Besides, the Cai family attaches great importance to Cai Seventeen, if the lady acts recklessly and offends the Cai family, it will be trouble! β
He paused: "My sister Sister Yin once said something contemptuous to Cai Seventeen because of her inappropriate words for a while, and as a result, the Cai family still holds a grudge. No matter how carefully her sister is to please her, she can't get the Cai family's forgiveness. Grandmother, father, mother, and uncles and aunts, I don't know how many times I lost my sister in private because of this matter. The lady must not follow in the footsteps of her sister and attract the reproach of the elders in the family. β
Qin Jinyi really didn't know about this matter, although she knew that the Pei family was very polite to her, but after all, she was able to marry into this family, it was the result of her calculations, she should behave more likable, instead of recklessly dying before giving birth to the Pei family's great-grandson......
She gritted her teeth, but decided to endure this breath, at least before giving birth to a son for Pei Cheng, she couldn't expose her true nature too much. Besides, even if Qin Jinchun marries Cai Seventeen, he may not be able to live well, what if Cai Seventeen dies on the border?
The young couple returned to the Pei Guo Mansion. After getting out of the car and walking into the courtyard of the big house, Qin Jinchun couldn't help but sigh lightly. From this moment on, she was going to take off the jewelry and gorgeous clothes on her body, put on coarse linen clothes, and serve Pei Guogong with filial piety. Even if she has to "recuperate" and can temporarily escape hard tasks such as crying and wake, it is still very difficult to live with filial piety. This is the biggest shortcoming of the Pei family, however, for the sake of future wealth and glory, she can only endure the past.
Although it's really hard to bear. After all, Qin Jinyi has never suffered like this since she was born.
Before they returned to the courtyard, the girl next to Grandma Pei blocked the way of the little couple: "The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the old lady called everyone in each room to wait in the main courtyard to discuss important matters." Except for the second girl and the two little young masters who were still guarding the mourning hall, everyone else had passed, and the uncle and grandmother also went, just waiting for the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother. β
Pei Cheng was surprised, before going out today, he didn't hear anything urgent. He asked what was wrong.
The girl replied: "It is said that the East Palace draft, the first person has been selected, and she will enter the palace in a few days." The old lady asked her to inquire about the news of the nobleman, and was about to discuss with the whole family how to deal with it. β
Sending Pei Er Girl into the East Palace as a concubine is the top priority in front of the Pei family in addition to the funeral of the old prince. Pei Cheng understood the importance of this, and hurriedly said, "I'll go over immediately." β
When the girl left, he said to his new wife: "What's going on? I haven't heard of the East Palace draft before, and our family is still waiting for the palace to issue a selection order, but someone has already been selected? I don't know whose girl has such a blessing." β
Qin Jinyi's heart was empty. She is the new daughter-in-law, and it stands to reason that being called over to a family meeting means that her identity has been accepted, which is a good thing. But she didn't want to go. What if the Pei family was stimulated by this news and asked her to help out, and after a year of filial piety, the second girl Pei would be sent to the East Palace? Where did she have such a ability? The second and third rooms of the Qin family were not so close!
In order to escape such a request from her mother-in-law, Qin Jinyi coaxed: "My leg hurts a little...... Still don't go, Cheng Lang will come back and tell me, what have you discussed?"
Pei Cheng is still quite concerned about his wife's injury: "It doesn't matter, right? I see that you have nothing unusual along the way, except for some inconvenience in walking, and I thought you were fine." β
Qin Jinyi laughed dryly: "In front of outsiders, I must insist, but my injury is not healed yet, the pain is so tight, I have to hold it up." β
Pei Cheng immediately relieved: "Then you should go back to the room quickly." In front of grandmothers and fathers, mothers, uncles and aunts, I will explain it for you. You take care of your rest, and if anything is wrong, ask someone to go to the doctor immediately. He also instructed the two girls, "Good life to wait for the young grandmother." β
Qin Jinyi instantly became weak, and went back to the hospital with the support of the two girls. Pei Cheng turned around, didn't even bother to change his clothes, and walked directly towards the place of the family meeting.
The Pei family has been paying close attention to the news of the East Palace draft, and it has also opened up the door of the Tang family. If the palace has already started to choose, it makes no sense that their whole family will not receive any news. They used to complain that the draft process was too slow, but now they are complaining that the draft process is too fast, why not drag on for months, or even a year?
And whose daughter is the chosen girl? How was she chosen? What is the girl's background? What are her strengths? Why is she favored by the palace?
Even if the second girl Pei is filial piety now and cannot be elected, these news must be inquired about by the Pei family. They have to know where Miss Pei Er is worse than the girl who was selected, and what is better than the other party, so take advantage of this year to practice more and improve themselves. In this way, she can be more sure that after filial piety, she can be successfully elected to the East Palace, become the woman of His Royal Highness the Prince, and realize the dream of the Duke of Pei Guo's mansion.
