Chapter 2 Bosom Friends

Zhao Mo didn't guess the golden elephant's brain hole, but he noticed the difference in his attitude before and after, and saw that Uncle Hu had said a few words to him in private, although he didn't know the content, he could also guess that it was related to the changes in the golden elephant today. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhao Mo felt that this must be Qin Bai's kindness, so as not to let the steward of the Chengenhou Mansion underestimate him.

However, the change in the attitude of the golden elephant seems to be more than just no longer underestimating him. The level of hospitality can almost be called deliberately flattering. Within two days, Zhao Mo began to feel that something was wrong. Even if Qin Bai and Uncle Hu's master and servant intended to help him, they would not have done this. What's more, the attitude of the people in Qin Bai's room has not changed, only the golden elephant is deliberately stammering, and the others in the Chengenhou Mansion don't seem to have this sign.

Why is that?

Zhao Mo was puzzled in his heart, so he carefully tested the golden elephant a few words between his words. The golden elephant has been a slave in a wealthy family for a long time, so naturally he is not a person who can easily say anything. But since he had the intention to please Zhao Mo, he would not be too cautious in his words, and he leaked a few hints of tone.

Zhao Mo saw that the golden elephant seemed to be for the sake of his father Zhao Shuo, who was very likely to enter the East Palace, and deliberately showed favor to himself, and his mood became not very good.

Of course, he would not misunderstand that Qin Bai's family would also have this kind of thought, since he asked Qin Bai for help, he had already realized the kindness of this elder in his daily interactions, and trusted him and his family's character very much. And since the golden elephant is the steward of the Chengen Hou Mansion, the representative is naturally the meaning of the Hou Mansion. Could it be that Cheng Enhou intends to seek another meritorious service, so as to continue the wealth of the Qin family for another thirty years?

Because Zhao Shuo wanted to enter Beijing to seek the throne of the emperor's heir, Zhao Mo first lost his biological mother, was abandoned by his biological father, and then suffered from the betrayal of his grandfather and uncle, I don't know how much he suffered. This time I entered Beijing, and I don't know what the future holds. Zhao Mo didn't have a good impression of his father's ambition in his heart. He also knew in his heart that once the daughter of the Wang family became his stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother, he would face the danger of his life again at any time. If at that time, his father Zhao Shuo had successfully entered the East Palace, he might still be able to save his life, and even enjoy wealth. But if his father Zhao Shuo still has to rely on the Wang family at that time, then he really can't even count on this only remaining relative. For the sake of the throne, my father may rather sacrifice him.

Chengen Hou Qin Song must not know the severity of the matter, or he still doesn't know, but the little steward in front of him is making his own opinion, and he actually thinks that he is a strange commodity to live in. Don't look at Jin Xiang's deliberate stuttering appearance towards him now, when the Qin Song family knows the real situation he is facing, in order not to offend the Wang family, they will definitely turn their faces immediately.

When the time comes, the people who are only afraid of Qin Bai's room will face the blame of the Chengenhou family, right? Thinking that the Qin Bai family, who had helped him kindly, would actually encounter such an embarrassing situation, Zhao Mo felt very sorry in his heart.

Qin Hanzhen noticed that Zhao Mo was a little distracted, and it seemed that the whole person was depressed, and he was puzzled in his heart. The convoy stopped at a county town in the evening and stayed in a big inn, she took advantage of the fact that everyone else was busy sorting out their luggage, preparing dinner and supplies, and found an opportunity to go to Zhao Mo's room to see him and ask him: "Cousin, why don't you seem to be in a good mood?" Is it because I heard Jin Bo say today that the second master of the Wang family is very trusted by the saint? Don't be too depressed. The saint trusts this second master Wang very much, it doesn't mean that the Wang family can really control your life and death. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned, and smiled dumbly: "I'm not here for this ......" paused, thinking that it was better not to tell the truth to the little cousin of the Qin family, so he smiled again and said: "It is a fact that the Wang family has made a fortune because of the trust of the saint in the king's servant, and it has been honored and favored so far. If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family had this ability, why would my father ask to marry his daughter? Even if my father knew that his family was going to be unfavorable to me, it was still unknown whether he would be willing to protect me. After all...... The son can also be reborn, and the throne is ...... But there's only one!"

Qin Hanzhen said disapprehantly: "Where is it so simple? Since ancient times, there have been more ministers who have been trusted and valued by the emperor, and I have never heard that because of him, the emperor can value the entire family." If it is a faint king, it is possible to be bewitched, but my grandfather said that the saint is very wise today, so he will not be easily manipulated by the courtier's family. ”

Zhao Mo hurriedly looked at the door, and saw that no one was passing by outside, and no one seemed to hear Qin Hanzhen's words, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Cousin, these words are nothing to say in front of me, but don't say them easily in front of outsiders." You are clever and clever, but there are many fools in the world, so I am afraid that they will not understand your cleverness and will be frightened. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "I said this because I was facing you." In front of my grandfather and cousin, I considered it, and I would say the same. But if it were someone else, I wouldn't be so careless. ”

When Zhao Mo heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is extreme, my cousin is talking in front of me, you can speak freely, and you don't have to be taboo." If there is anything taboo in it, I will tell my cousin and I will not mention it to others. But in front of others, my cousin has to pay more attention. Except for the third uncle, grandfather, third uncle and grandmother, and Mr. Wu, most of the others are not credible. ”

Qin Han really saw that he was willing to listen to his broken mouth, and he seemed to be a tight-mouthed person, and he was quite happy in his heart, but he could be regarded as a person who could be relieved to spit out. She lowered her voice and said to Zhao Mo: "Cousin Zhao, I mean seriously, don't be afraid. Kimber said that the royal servant who was valued by the saint was very old, and his only descendant was my second uncle. Those people in the Wang family are all members of his family, not direct blood relatives, and it is already the limit to be able to rely on him to get today's wealth and glory. When the king waits for his old age, or dies, the Wang family is estimated to be like this. It is estimated that his family also knows it in their hearts, so they will desperately find a way to continue this wealth. If he is really an important minister, how can he hollow out his mind every day, and only want to marry his daughter to someone who may become the emperor's heir in the future, instead of worrying more about the affairs of the court? This kind of action is not the right way, and it will not go long. ”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen in surprise, and said convincingly: "My cousin is really smart, this kind of truth is simple to say, but I never thought about it, I just resented the Wang family's actions." Indeed, the royal style is not the right way, and it is impossible to seek wealth and glory for a long time. Besides, his family is too domineering, and I am afraid that those who marry with his family may not be truly convinced, right? However, his family still has to rely on, and when others see his family's wealth, they think that his family is very good, and they are willing to be his family's lackeys. ”

Qin Hanzhen blushed slightly, and accepted Zhao Mo's praise with shame. She can't say that it's because she's read a lot of TV movies and novels, and she knows a lot about historical allusions throughout the ages, so she's familiar with the routines, right?

She continued to lower her voice and said to Zhao Mo: "So, cousin, you don't have to worry about the Wang family. Let's go to Beijing quietly, and you will stay with us, and find a way to contact your father quietly, and see what he means first. If he refuses to protect you, it is a big deal that you will go back to Mizhi with us in the future. In fact, what's so good about being an emperor? If you go out to play too much, you will be said that you work hard and lose money, so if you don't go out to play, it's boring to just look at the sky above you in the palace. If it is a Ming Jun, he has to worry about government affairs all over the country from morning to night, maybe he sleeps less and eats badly, and he will get sick after a long time, and he will die young at any time. If it is a faint monarch and he wants to do whatever he wants, the government ignores it, and the people don't care, then he is either usurped by someone or left a stench for 10,000 years, and there will be no good results anyway. It can be seen that there is no benefit to being an emperor, it is better for you to be free outside. ”

Zhao Mo laughed out loud when he heard this, although he felt that Qin Hanzhen's fairy tales made people laugh, but he also felt that it was a little interesting. He understood that Qin Hanzhen just wanted to comfort himself, so he smiled and nodded: "Cousin said very well." I've been out there for a few years, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't have to worry about the scolding of the prince and the princess, I don't have to worry about what my grandfather and third uncle will do to me, and I don't have to face the persecution of the Wang family, I can be at ease. ”

Qin Han was even happier when he saw that he felt the same way as himself. She didn't dare to say these things to Qin Bai, and when she told her cousin Wu Shaoying, he might think that she was just a child who was ignorant and nonsense. It is rare that Zhao Mo, a cheap cousin, is actually her bosom friend, and it will be better to communicate in the future.

Zhao Mo looked outside the door, and there was a deacon from the Hou Mansion with a few girls and carried a suitcase into the courtyard. He didn't continue the previous topic, and only asked Qin Hanzhen: "This time I enter Beijing, I may have to bother in the Chengen Hou Mansion for a few days, but I don't know what the situation is in the Hou Mansion." Can you tell me, cousin, who are you in the Qin family?"

"It's easy to do. Qin Hanzhen agreed. Jin Xiang had already told their family about these things, but Zhao Mo hadn't come yet, so he didn't know. Anyway, it's not a secret matter, so it's nothing to talk to him.

Qin Bai's father, Qin Yang, the Marquis of Yongjia, married a total of two ladies in the main room. Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Huang gave birth to her eldest son Qin Song and her eldest daughter Qin Zhang, that is, Cheng Enhou and the late Empress Qin. Mrs. Huang had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Empress Qin and died soon after. During her pregnancy, she added a room to the old marquis, surnamed Fu, and later became pregnant, so she carried her aunt. Aunt Fu added her second son Qin Huai to the old marquis more than half a year after Mrs. Huang's death. And after the anniversary of Mrs. Huang's death, the old marquis remarried Mrs. Ye, who was Qin Bai's biological mother.

Mrs. Ye was born in a scholarly family, with a kind and generous temperament, and single-handedly brought up Qin Zhang, the eldest daughter of Yuan Pei, and also took care of her concubine Qin Huai. It's just that the eldest son Qin Song was already old when he lost his mother, and his temperament was quite eccentric, and he didn't look down on his stepmother very much, and he regarded his sibling sister and cousin as a thorn in his side, and he didn't have much affection for Qin Bai, who was born to the Ye family. However, the old marquis disciplines his children very strictly, and he is also fair, Mrs. Ye will not do superfluous things, and Aunt Fu is also an honest person, so Qin Song can't find a handle, and he can't do anything except say a few sour words on weekdays.

Before the Qin family suffered, Qin Song had married his wife Ma, who was the daughter of an official family; Qin Fan married into the East Palace as a concubine and was pregnant; Qin Huai married his wife Xue, but she was the daughter of an imperial merchant; Qin Bai made a marriage contract with the daughter of the Xu family, and he would be married when he turned 18 years old in the next year. The whole family can be described as harmonious and beautiful.

However, once the Hou Mansion fell, everything changed.

The four fathers and sons of the Qin family had just been imprisoned, and the Ma family first sent and left the book to pick up their daughter, and I heard that in order to avoid future troubles, they also took the initiative to feed their daughter who was pregnant with abortion pills, and very quickly selected a family for her to marry. On the day Qin Song was deported from Beijing, it happened to be the day of Ma's remarriage, and she deliberately ordered someone to carry a sedan chair in front of him, and ridiculed him.

In addition, the Xu family's divorce is needless to mention. Even Qin Huai's wife, Xue, was picked up by her mother's family. She was pregnant. If it weren't for Qin Huai's frailty and his death in the prison, the Xue family might have to send a letter of harmony and departure.

It can really be said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. (To be continued.) )
