Chapter 503: Climbing Relatives
Yao didn't know her husband Qin Zhonghai's plans, and only thought that her son Qin Jian was about to have a good family. Although her daughter Qin Jinhua's marriage is not as good as she wants, her son-in-law is also a serious jinshi, and with the support of her high-ranking father, her career will be smooth and smooth, even if she does not have a title, she can earn a life for her daughter. Yao felt that he had never been more happy than ever, and his mood was much better.
Whenever I saw the puzzled eyes of my mother-in-law Xu, Yao's heart was secretly refreshed. If it weren't for Qin Zhonghai's repeated warnings to her, she really wanted to tell her mother-in-law about Qin Jianzheng's marriage with the daughter of Shoushan Bo, and then carefully look at her mother-in-law's face. But forget it now, when the matter is done, it will not be too late for her to watch a good show.
Mother-in-law Xu felt that Xu Zheng was talented and would have a great future all day long, and looked down on Qin Jian.
However, the current reality is that Xu Zheng has promoted a great reputation for himself outside, and he claims to be a talented man all day long, claiming that he must say that he must be rich and good, and the grandmothers of the Xu family also tell people all day long how many noble girls in Beijing are interested in him, but in the end, he didn't hook up with a noble girl, but made a family appointment with Mrs. Xu's maiden niece and granddaughter, the daughter of a petty official. Three years later, he made a comeback, and he didn't know if he could be admitted to the Jinshi.
As for Qin Jian, he successfully passed the examination and passed the Gongshi examination, but because his grades were not satisfactory and he wanted to do better, he gave up the palace examination with the son of Shoushan Bo and decided to take the examination again. Even so, no one can underestimate him, he has many Jinshi friends, and he can often ask Shou Shanbo, a scholar, for teaching, and now he is about to make a family appointment with Shoushan Bo's daughter. Three years later, he will be able to reach high school, and his future will be smooth sailing.
Can Xu Zheng compare with Qin Jian? What is he able to compare with Qin Jian? Just comparing the Qin family and the Xu family, the difference between the two is already too far. Unless lard is blinded, it is not difficult for even the blind to see who is the one who really has a bright future. Yao scoffed at the Xu family and waited to see her mother-in-law's jokes. She likes to see Xu's aggrieved but speechless appearance!
Yao's ambition was complacent, just waiting for good news from his son and Sanfang. Sanfang really didn't disappoint her, and within a few days, Qin Zhonghai told her that the family affair was done, let her prepare the engagement ceremony, and officially set the children's family affairs with Shoushan Bofu, and prepare a thank you matchmaking gift, thank the third uncle Qin Bai and the third aunt Niu for their help, and by the way, they also prepared a gift for their niece Qin Hanzhen, if she didn't remind and match, I am afraid that this family affair would not have come true.
Yao's family was overjoyed, naturally he generously prepared several big gifts to give away, and he couldn't wait to announce it all over the world, and he wanted to set up a banquet to invite guests, and celebrate his life.
Qin Zhonghai rejected her proposal, full of disapproval: "What are you promoting? Do you see that the Shoushan Bofu has ever hyped up this family business? Now the people outside are either marrying their daughters in a panic, as if they are clearly telling people that they dislike the prince of the East Palace and don't want to have anything to do with the royal family, or they go around saying good things about their daughters, and they can't send their daughters to the East Palace to be concubines immediately." Our marriage with Shoushan Bofu at this time will definitely not be able to escape gossip. But in fact, this family affair has been going on for a long time, but it is just a coincidence, and it is just a coincidence, so why bother to make people talk? It's not to hide it from people, if relatives and friends ask, they naturally have to tell it calmly, but they don't have to go out of their way to publicize it. If you feel that your son is wronged, wait until the official wedding is held, and then have a good time. ”
Yao's family didn't believe that this family affair had already been discussed, and decided that Shou Shanbo didn't want to send his daughter as a concubine, so he hurriedly set up a family affair for Yu Xinlan. But she doesn't care so much, the power position of Shoushan Bofu is not fake, and her baby son has indeed made a marriage contract with Shoushan Bo's daughter, as long as the benefits are in hand, what kind of statement can not be used to the outside world? Isn't it a fig leaf? Of course, she will not tell anyone, saying that her son can get this family business, it is shit luck, her son definitely relied on his own strength to win Shoushan Bo's appreciation, and married his daughter with his love - no, no, no, the two children are the right family, and no one has climbed anyone.
Yao accepted Qin Zhonghai's reminder, and really resisted the urge to show off, but he had no intention of hiding it from his relatives and friends. She wrote many posts in a low-key manner, but in fact a high-profile one, and sent them to relatives and friends, letting them know that her son Qin Jian had just made an appointment with Shou Shanbo's daughter, and invited relatives and friends to attend the small banquet on the day of the engagement.
Relatives and friends who received the news had mixed reactions. Some are simply happy for Qin Jian and the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, such as the Yunyang Hou Mansion, the Min family, and so on; some have bright eyes and feel that they are profitable and have golden thighs to hug, such as Qin Bofu in the second room of the Qin family is a typical one; some secretly regret that they feel that their family is missing an ideal marriage partner; and some are taking the opportunity to come up and want to seek some benefits from it.
For example, in the Yao family, an aunt of the Yao family came to the door.
Yao originally thought that the aunt just wanted to come to congratulate her, and begged her for the nieces and nieces by the way, but she didn't expect the other party's request to surprise her: "What do you say? Qin Su? You want to tell your daughter to Qin Su?" Yao only felt ridiculous, "Qin Su is just a concubine, born to a girl, something that can't be put on the table." How can my niece say that she is also the daughter of an official eunuch, even if all the men in the world are dead, she can't afford to be like Qin Su, right?!"
Yao's first reaction was to refuse. Just kidding, although this aunt is the wife of the Yao family, her uncle is the official body of Liupin. The daughter of the sixth rank official married Qin Su, is that kid worthy?! I don't have to spoil the good daughter of the Yao family! The Yao family even felt that if she really let her niece marry Qin Su, her own identity would be lowered.
The aunt of the Yao family has a different opinion: "Grandma said lightly, your Chengenhou Mansion is not an ordinary family, even if it is a concubine, it is a little more noble than the children of ordinary eunuchs." Although Qin Su is a concubine, he is also decently born, and now he has begun to study seriously, and he may not be unproductive in the future. Your niece and nephew are married, and you are taken care of by your own aunt, can you still suffer a loss?"
Yao thought to himself, if a cousin niece really wants to marry Qin Su, she won't take care of it! If Qin Su can make a difference, then God will not be long-sighted! How could she allow this kind of thing to happen? Now letting him study is just to save face for her husband, and it is also to conclude that he is not the material for studying. After two years, Qin Su couldn't pass the Xiucai exam, so she would drive his Xixi away without saying a word, and ask that kid to take care of the affairs honestly. In the future, I will find him a daughter from a small family to be his daughter-in-law, and just run errands for her son Qin Jian for the rest of her life. If Qin Su didn't know how to lift, she would find a reason to directly divide the people out, and just stuff some land and silver taels, and let him fend for himself. The concubines of large families in Beijing are basically treated like this, what books do they study, what kind of imperial examinations do they take?
Yao categorically rejected the aunt: "No, if the aunt wants to marry her daughter to our Chengenhou Mansion, it is okay to pick a concubine at random, it is a concubine, and it is also to promote Qin Su." I will never wronged your daughter!"
The aunt of the Yao family was a little unhappy, and reluctantly persuaded her: "My own daughter, can I not love her? Nowadays, there are people everywhere in the capital talking about kissing, decent people, children are not worried about not being able to marry a good daughter-in-law, our family is not enough to compare, more than the bottom, there are fewer people who can choose! I don't hide it from you, not only is our house planning to give the concubine to the concubine, but there are also people in other houses who have done this. The nine girls were promised to the concubines of the Taifu Siqing family, the child has a reputation for showing talent, and the birth of her mother is not much worse, and her father and mother did not feel wronged at all. If our family delays any longer, I'm afraid that we will really only be able to find the sons and daughters of the concubines! Then instead of cheapening other people's families, I might as well marry my daughter to your Qin family, so it's also a kiss, isn't it?"
The Yao family almost didn't squirt back, kiss and kiss a ghost! What does Qin Su have to do with her? He is still worthy of being related to the Yao family?!
Yao's resolute refusal, the Yao family's aunt saw that things were not working, and barely maintained a smile, but when she returned home, she lost her temper greatly. Within two days, Yao Wang's family came to visit her daughter and persuaded her not to be too stubborn, if her uncle really wanted to marry her daughter to Qin Su, she would ask her husband's opinion, and if Qin Zhonghai agreed, she would agree.
Yao looked at his mother in disbelief: "Why? What is so good about Qin Su? You and your uncles and aunts all exalt him like this? What about your father? Does your father think so too?"
Yao Wang said lightly: "Your father didn't say anything, but he won't object. This is the marriage that your uncle and aunt want for themselves, whether it will be good or bad in the future has nothing to do with you, so why should you be a wicked person in the middle?"
Yao was extremely depressed: "But I don't understand, how did Qin Su fall into the eyes of my uncle and aunt? If my uncle and aunt think that he has started to study now, he will really have a chance in the future, I can only say that they think too highly of Qin Su, that kid is not reading material at all, but I am afraid that he will not even be able to pass the children's examination. Instead of marrying him, his niece might as well choose one of the new jinshi in Jinke. ”
Yao Wang sighed: "Among the new jinshi in this department, all those who have a good family background have already been selected, and what good goods can there be? Your uncle and aunt are not so much looking forward to Qin Su's future success, but rather fancy your Qin family." Do you think it was still a few years ago? Right now, the emperor favors Yongjiahou, and His Royal Highness the crown prince also respects Yongjiahou, and Yongjiahou is a member of your Qin family. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values the king of Suning County, and he is the girl who has set your three rooms. Now that the second room is close to the Marquis of Yunyang, Brother Jian has made a relationship with the daughter of Shoushan Bofu, and Jinhua said that it was given to the grandson of King Qin. This is a martial artist, your Qin family has it, the palace, the clan, the royal family, everything can be touched, your family is simply as stable as Mount Tai. To marry your family is to climb the high branches, and wealth and glory are at your fingertips. Are you stupid to be your uncle and aunt? Not to mention anything else, if your uncle's two sons, one Xiucai and the other Tongsheng, can get close to your Qin family through Qin Su's family affairs, one is Yongjiahou and the other is Shoushanbo, but if you can ask any of them for homework and knowledge, it will be enough for them to be inexhaustible! What is one Qin Su? Who really likes him?"
Yao was dumbfounded.
Yao Wang sighed: "You, when will you be able to be a person who understands? Do you really not know what the status of the Qin family is now?"
