Chapter 256: Recommendations
The Yao family was worried about the marriage of his eldest son Qin Jian, and Qin Jian himself was a little aware of it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHe is still a young man of twelve or thirteen years old, and he is still a little embarrassed when he talks about his future marriage. Although he also has his own ideas, it is not easy to mention them in front of his parents, so he can only worry about them in private.
Zhao Mo was good friends with him, and he was a neighbor, and he always had to see him a few times a day, so he soon found out about his strange appearance and asked him what was going on.
Young people are sometimes embarrassed to mention things in front of their families, but in front of friends of the same age, they don't have so many worries. Qin Jian told Zhao Mo about his troubles.
Zhao Mo blinked and changed his sitting posture: "What do you mean...... The king and his wife of Shanyang have taken a fancy to you and want to recruit you as a son-in-law, your family is not happy, but if they don't make it clear for a day, your family will not be able to refuse for a day, but if people go to the palace to ask for a decree, you just want to refuse, and there is no room for refusal? Is this so difficult? Or hurry up and let your family set you a marriage, so as not to ask the Shanyang palace to intercept the hu, or send a message to the queen mother, saying that your marriage, your family already has an idea, don't let her give you some mandarin duck scores. ā
Qin Jian smiled bitterly: "Where is the matter so simple? If you ask me to decide on a marriage in advance, then someone has to choose someone to decide." How old am I? It was only in the last two years that my grandmother and mother began to look out for suitable girls, and it would take two or three years to make up my mind. I hurriedly decided that if there was anything bad in the future, wouldn't it be a mistake for my life? I don't want to settle for it casually, this is a lifelong thing! As for the Queen Mother's side, ......
He hesitated: "You didn't grow up in Beijing, so I don't know much." The Queen Mother has a good temper, but she has no sons, only daughters, so she values her daughters more in her heart, and she also attaches great importance to her mother's family. Shanyang Wangfu has no other benefits, but Princess Shanyang's surname is Tu, and she is good friends with the eldest princess of Lin'an, who was born by the Queen Mother. If she wants to ask the Queen Mother to marry her daughter, it is a matter of one sentence, and the Queen Mother will not easily refute the invitation of Princess Lin'an. If our family goes to the Queen Mother and says that she doesn't want to marry the granddaughter of the Tu family, the Queen Mother will definitely not have to listen to the reason, so she will annoy us first. If you don't mention a specific candidate, you are afraid that the Queen Mother will misunderstand. ā
It's a real nuisance. No matter how the Queen Mother is, her surname is Tu, how can she say that the granddaughter of the Tu family is not good in front of her old man?
Zhao Mo thought for a while: "According to what you say, things are a little troublesome. Unless Princess Shanyang can dispel her mind, as soon as she speaks, the Queen Mother will promise her words, you have nowhere to hide if you want to, so why bother here?"
Qin Jian smiled: "That's not it. No matter how biased the Queen Mother is to the Tu family, it is impossible for her to decide on my marriage without asking my grandmother and mother what they mean. That is not a mercy, but an enmity. No matter which daughter she wants to point out to me, she will always have to live in our house in the future, and if she offends her in-laws before she enters the door, how will she live in the future?"
Zhao Mo smiled and said: "Even if the Queen Mother asks what your family means, if you want to refuse, you have to come up with a reasonable reason, otherwise saying it will hinder the reputation of the county lord of Shanyang Wangfu after all." In the final analysis, it is still necessary to let Princess Shanyang not open this mouth. I kind of understand now why you're so upset. ā
Qin Jian sighed: "What should I do with this? My mother discussed with my grandmother and father all day long, but she didn't come up with a charter. Could it be that I have to face such troubles when I am born well, have a good temperament, and only after I have learned well?"
Zhao Mo laughed: "This is too shameless, people can't help but want to beat you!"
The two young men teased each other for a while before they fell silent.
Zhao Mo gasped and said to Qin Jian: "I'll make an idea for you, I'm afraid you will think it's too ranciful." ā
Qin Jian hurriedly asked, "What's the idea?" Even if it's rancid, it's better than nothing!"
Zhao Mo lowered his voice and discussed with him: "The so-called can't be provoked, you can afford to hide." You are now a fragrant bait, with a good family background and talents, no wonder Princess Shanyang likes it and is bent on recruiting you as her son-in-law. You might as well find a reason to hide. As long as you are no longer in the capital, Princess Shanyang will take a fancy to you again, and you will have to show up before she can say the rest of the words, right? She wants to ask the Queen Mother for marriage, and the Queen Mother must have seen you first, right? It is impossible for you not to even show your face, and the Queen Mother will give you a princess of the palace to marry. You hide outside for the time being, and take advantage of this time, your grandmother and mother hurriedly choose a good daughter-in-law for you, and let it go, this matter can be done with you or not. When it's done, you don't have to worry about the rest of the business. You are not the only one in the capital, the county lord of Shanyang Wangfu is not yet noble enough to let the queen mother take her husband. ā
Qin Jian was a little moved: "Can this work?"
"Why can't it be done?" Zhao Mo said, "This is just to buy a little time for your family, so that your mother can quickly give you a good choice for your daughter-in-law." Now that the Shanyang Palace's mansion has not yet shown its mouth, you will hide out and find an excuse to study and study, who can pick your reason? Not only can you not choose, but you also have to praise you for being a young man and eager to learn. ā
He lowered his voice a little lower: "I'll teach you to be a good guy again, the third uncle and grandfather are about to go south to return to the hometown to worship their ancestors, he is an old man, and he takes his aunt and grandmother and his third cousin, the old and the young, there is no shortage of people around to wait, and it is not good for your long house not to send a junior to escort you." You are the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson of the long house, and you go to your grandmother and take the initiative to ask for this messenger. I'm afraid that the palace will know, and even the emperor will praise you for your filial piety. ā
Qin Jian was happy to hear this: "That's a good thing to say. The emperor has always valued the third uncle the most. I want to escort my third uncle back to my hometown, and the emperor will be happy. Before I come back, if there is anything, the emperor will protect me for three points, that is, after I come back in the future, the Shanyang Mansion will mention the marriage again, and I will ask the emperor for it, and the queen mother will not say anything. ā
Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Since you are a filial and courteous person, how can you agree to the marriage of the wrong generation?
Qin Jian was so excited that she couldn't sit still anymore, and hugged Zhao Mo: "Good brother, thank you so much!" immediately went to discuss with his grandmother and mother. Zhao Mo didn't stop him, so he went, but he packed up his things and went back to the house, changed his clothes, said hello to Fei's mother and Qingdai, and went out with the two little guys.
He was going to see his father Zhao Shuo today.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Zhao Shuo looks like he has lost a lot of weight, and his complexion is okay now, but the sadness between his eyebrows is very obvious.
When he saw Zhao Mo coming, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Why did you come here today?" I have been thinking about you going back to Qin's house for a few days, and I don't know how you are doing, and I am about to send someone to see you." There have been a lot of things going on in the past few days, and I didn't care about it for a while, and I never thought that you would come back. ā
Zhao Mo saluted him with a slight smile, and asked again: "How is my father doing these days?" Although my son has heard a lot of news in the Chengenhou Mansion, he doesn't know which ones are true and which ones are false. ā
Zhao Shuo was a little moved by his son's concern for him, but this question made people feel heavy: "It's just like that." No one expected that it was your uncle who ruined the overall situation. He leaked his secrets because he was not strict in his own style, and he was too lax in controlling his subordinates, so that now your second uncle is imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion prison, and I don't know what the outcome will be in the future. My father was reprimanded by the emperor and wanted to be punished again, I was afraid that he would not stay in the capital for a long time. But your second uncle's case has not yet been decided, how can he go back to Liaodong with confidence?"
Although after the King of Shu pointed out that the person who leaked the news was Zhao Yan, the King of Liao no longer doubted that his eldest son Zhao Shuo was the one who released the news, but Zhao Li was convicted, and the King of Liao and the step-concubine of the King of Liao had to worry about Zhao Yan on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to be busy disciplining their youngest son Zhao Yan. However, Zhao Yan felt that he was right, and refused to admit that he deliberately let the two elders spread his brother's crimes outside, and a big war inevitably broke out between father and son, mother and son. The Liao Wangfu is now in chaos, and no one has time to deal with Zhao Shuo. He is still worried, the King of Liao originally promised to ask for him to be the prince of the world has not been handed over, in the current situation, I don't know how long this matter will be delayed.
Moreover, the father and son of the Liao Wangfu had accidents one after another, and the outside world's evaluation of Zhao Shuo was also somewhat affected. In particular, the King of Shu found Zhao Yan's two elders and leaked the truth about the death of Zhao Shuoyuan and Wen, which made people even more suspicious, whether Zhao Shuo was so stupid that he did not find out how his Yuan wife died, or did he know the truth, but he did not dare to say it, and continued to pretend to be a family with his father, stepmother, and brothers? At the same time, some people noticed that he married his current wife, Xiao Wang, only a few months after he died, is it too affectionate? If he knows why his wife died, but turns a blind eye because he is in a hurry to marry his wife, then his character is too unbearable.
There are still many officials who are hostile to the Wang family, and there are even more clans in the capital who are interested in the position of imperial heir, but do not intend to jump out to show their ambitions in public like the prince of Jin, the young son of the king of Shu and Zhao Shuo. They didn't miss this great opportunity to hit Zhao Shuo, they didn't mention the relationship between the Liao Wangfu and him, and they just blindly talked about his affection for his wife and children and belittled his character. How can a person who wants to become the prince of a country be a cold-hearted, ruthless and unrighteous person?
Zhao Shuo was given a headache by this kind of accusation. Although the King of Shu and the King of Liao competed with each other, the final result was that both sides were defeated, and the youngest son of the King of Shu seemed to have lost the qualification to succeed, but he did not fall into any benefit. Don't look at him, it seems that he still has hope to work the position of the East Palace, but at the same time, he also found that he still has many invisible competitors in the capital. I didn't find it before, but now I can see it clearly. He was not at all sure about these people.
Thinking that all these unfavorable situations are because of Zhao Yan, Zhao Shuo's resentment towards this little brother soared.
Although he was in a bad mood, considering the political talent that his eldest son Zhao Mo had shown, Zhao Shuo still briefly introduced the latest situation to his son, and said about his disadvantage, and then said: "You are quite Yongjiahou now, why don't you say good things for your father?" The emperor values this brother-in-law the most, as long as Yongjiahou is willing to say a few good words for me, those who attack me in the court will stop a lot." ā
Zhao Mo was silent for a moment before he said, "Father, have you ever thought that taking a step back at this time is actually more beneficial to you?"
Zhao Shuo was stunned: "What do you mean? What do you mean to take a step back?"
