Qin Jinchun was speechless for a while, and after a while, he replied embarrassedly: "That's not ...... Did the Grand Princesses of the Shanyang Mansion want to marry Brother Lobby before? I don't like her very much, so I'm wary of her refusing to give up, so I like to pay attention to her news on weekdays. I was relieved to hear that she got married a few months ago, but then I remembered that the second county lord was also fifteen, and the princess of Shanyang once took the second county lord to Dabaoguo Temple to offer incense...... I'm just afraid that they will have some kind of moths, so I will pay more attention to the news of Shanyang Palace. ”

After a pause, she added: "I'm also afraid that Brother Lobby will marry an unconscious sister-in-law, and I will be unlucky." ”

She is now under the fence of the long house, and it is normal for her to worry that she will be disgusted by her sister-in-law who will be in charge of the future house.

Qin Jinhua seemed to believe it: "So that's the case." That's right, that family is weird and annoying, when I met them in Dabaoguo Temple last time, my mother almost got angry on the spot. I've never seen such a cheeky person again, and I've long told them that it's impossible to get married, and I have to post it. If my sister doesn't make it, let my sister go on top. If my eldest brother delays another two or three years to get married, will they still have to let the three county lords try again? The three county lords of the Shanyang Royal Mansion are two or three years younger than me!"

She comforted Qin Jinchun and said, "Don't worry, my mother doesn't look down on that family." If it weren't for the emperor's magnanimity, he would have demoted their family to a concubine a long time ago, where would they dare to think of my brother?!"

The position of the Sanyang Royal Mansion in the court was very embarrassing. King Shanyang's father helped other princes to seize the throne back then, and he played a lot of intrigues and tricks against the current emperor. However, at that time, the king of Sanyang was still young, and when the emperor first ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the situation, he did not exterminate all the followers of his brothers, but only eliminated the first evil and exiled some die-hard factions that could not be subdued. Most of the disloyal officials were dismissed, and those who had done nothing evil remained in their positions, and spent a few more years thereafter, slowly eliminating and replacing them with the emperor's own people. The king of Shanyang was regarded by the emperor as a magnanimous archway that did not count the back accounts, and he was steadily the king of the county, and he also married the niece of the queen mother's family as a concubine. With him, no one in the government and the opposition can say that the emperor is not benevolent enough.

The king of Shanyang knew his situation, and originally thought that such a peaceful life was very good, anyway, he only had three daughters, and no heirs, even if he won the right and won the profit, he could not pass it on to future generations, so why not live a life? But since his princess Xiao Tu gave birth to a little son to him, his ambition could not be suppressed. It happened that he had a good relationship with the king of Shu, and the king of Shu and his wife sought the position of crown prince for their youngest son, so the king of Shanyang attached himself to the past and came forward to do something for the king of Shu who was far away in Shu in the capital. At that time, he was really very beautiful for a while, and everyone was afraid of him. Because the eldest son of the king of Shu has married and had children, and the younger son's marriage has higher expectations, the king of Shu once hoped that the eldest daughter of the king of Shanyang could marry into the Chengenhou Mansion and become the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family, and then win over the Qin family to become his help.

At that time, the Chengenhou Mansion had only experienced the blow of the Chengenhou losing his holy family, and everything had to rely on the three-room Yongjiahou Qin Bai to support the Qin family's face in front of the emperor. Of course, it was impossible for them to agree to such a marriage, and the Yao family looked down on the county lord of the Shanyang Palace. You must know that before the youngest son of the King of Shu entered Beijing to compete for the throne, the Shanyang Royal Mansion only licked his face and stammered with the Qin family. Who wants to marry the daughter of such a family as the eldest granddaughter-in-law? The Yao family chooses a future wife for their son, and they all go for the daughters of those top families.

It's just that there is still the Shu Wangfu behind the Shanyang Palace, and the Chengenhou Mansion doesn't know who the future storage position belongs to, but at that time, everyone felt that the youngest son of the King of Shu was the most likely. In order not to offend the future prince, they couldn't refuse strongly, so they could only prevaricate with other words, under the pretext that Qin Jian was still young and his homework was important, so he didn't discuss his relatives for the time being. At Zhao Mo's suggestion, Qin Jian traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with Qin Bai and avoided this catastrophe. By the time he returned from Jiangnan with the crown prince, the situation in Beijing had been turned upside down.

The prince recovered from illness and returned to the court, the king of Shu was suspected of assassinating the prince, and he was put under house arrest by the royal family, and the princess of Shu died, and the young son of the king of Shu completely lost the possibility of succeeding the royal family. The prince of Shu could have maintained the situation in Shu, but now he was unable to support it anymore, so his family moved into the capital and lived tremblingly under the royal surveillance. The land of Shu is now dominated by the local officials and troops sent by the imperial court, and the nominal fief of the king of Shu is actually in the pocket of the imperial court. It has no foundation at all, but it is just attached to the Shanyang Palace, which is not likely to have any good results.

Just because King Shanyang did not have an obvious crime, but just did some trivial things for King Shu under the banner of helping his cousins, he was not dismissed. The emperor saw that Princess Shanyang was also the daughter of the Tu family, so he only wanted to save some face for the Queen Mother, and did not pursue it more. But the Tu family is already unable to protect itself, where can they give any more help to the Shanyang Palace? The King of Shanyang only has an empty throne, and his power position is not as good as before the young son of the King of Shu entered Beijing.

At least until then, although everyone could look down on him, because he still had the throne in his body, it was the archway that the emperor erected, and others could still leave him some dignity. But after that, the world knew that he was rebellious, and there was absolutely no future at all, just to see when the emperor couldn't bear it, he would uproot his entire family. Therefore, even the royal family refused to deal with his family anymore, for fear of getting into trouble.

The Shanyang Mansion originally wanted to marry the Chengenhou Mansion, but now the Chengenhou Mansion strongly refused in person, and no one said that the Qin family was wrong. The lord of the county dragged on for a few years, and the marriage was not settled, but it was not until the beginning of this year that he finally married the eldest son of a prefect, and when he got married, he was already over eighteen years old.

There are also rumors in Beijing that the prefect's family is the head of the stepfamily, and he wants to leave the eldest son of the original family, so he instigated her husband to agree to this family business. After marriage, the lord of the big county did not get along with her husband, and she had to live with her husband in office, away from her parents' relatives. You can imagine how life went.

Shanyang Wangfu fell to this part, and refused to accept his fate, while wanting to put the second daughter to the Qin family again, and on the other hand, he wanted to arrange the younger daughter to the East Palace to be the companion of the county lord of Minshun, which was really tenacious and speechless. It's just that his family has such a dead face, who can look at it?

Qin Han is really not optimistic about his family's practices, but this is the freedom of others, what does it have to do with her? Anyway, the three county lords of the Shanyang Royal Mansion could not really be selected to be selected into the East Palace as a companion.

She said to Qin Jinchun: "The Shanyang Palace's mansion is now broken, so I want to try everything." Their family is only left with the title of county king, and in fact, they have no status in the clan at all. His family can pull down his face and let his daughter go to the royal granddaughter to be a companion, which does not mean that other palaces are willing to let their daughters go. So this has no reference value at all. I think the crown princess will not pick people from those princes and nobles in the end, most of them will choose a few mild-tempered little girls from the Tang family or relatives of the Tang family, right? This is to choose a small partner for the county lord of Minshun, of course, to choose someone who can get along with the county lord, and can take care of the county lord, clever and sensible, gentle and careful. My second sister and I are the only daughters in the family, and we are used to being pampered on weekdays, while the fifth sister is too domineering and can't take care of people. It's just that outsiders don't know, and it's not easy for the princess to inquire? The eldest uncle and grandmother and the aunt won't help cover it up, so the girls from our two mansions are not on the shortlist at all. ”

Qin Jinhua also nodded on the side and said with a smile: "Actually, if the crown princess really wanted us to be the companion of the county lord, she would have delivered a message to her grandmother a long time ago." There was no movement in our house at all, so it was obvious that we were not going to be elected. The fifth sister is a child who is ignorant, and she listens to the wind and rain, and thinks she has hope. In fact, the crown princess will invite Mr. Zeng into the palace to inquire, which means that she will not pick people from our family, otherwise Mr. Zeng is our teacher, and it is inevitable that he will be biased and will gossip. ”

Qin Jinchun smiled a little reluctantly: "I see." It's a pity that the fifth sister thought crookedly, but misunderstood the third sister. Let's go back and tell her about it, shall we?"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" she didn't say why she lost her temper, but when she looked back, she figured it out, and naturally knew that she had made a joke. If we don't mention it, it's a thing of the past. If we solemnly explain it to her, she may be even more embarrassed, and it will be difficult to clean it up then. Anyway, I don't live in this house, and now I don't have to go to school every day, so it's good not to see her, what can I do?"

Seeing that Qin Hanzhen was generous and didn't care, Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun didn't say much. The three sisters chatted for a while, all about clothes and jewelry. After a while, Qin Hanzhen saw that it was not too early, and was about to leave.

Qin Jinchun hurriedly got up and said, "It just so happens that I am also going back to the house, shall I give the third sister a ride?" and held down Qin Jinhua, "The second sister will not get up." It's so cold outside, watch out for the wind. Qin Jinhua smiled and sat back on the kang.

Qin Jinchun sent Qin Hanzhen out all the way, and when she arrived at the door of Mingyuewu, she hesitated: "Third sister, I'm ...... I have something to ask you. As he spoke, he glanced around, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

Qin Han was faintly aware of what she wanted to say in her heart. In fact, in the past few years, the condition of the second room has not been good, Qin Jinchun often lives in the long house, and in front of his sisters, his words and actions have changed a lot from when he was a child. Now she is always cautious, and from time to time she says something to please Qin Jinhua, which makes the latter very happy. The original simple friendship between sisters has undergone such a change, which naturally makes Qin Han really a little sad. But Qin Jinchun's situation made her unable to say anything to persuade her, so she could only pretend that she didn't know. When she could, she found some excuses to send something to Qin Jinchun inconspicuously, just to help this cousin and not hurt the other party's self-esteem.

Sure enough, Qin Jinchun said what she expected: "I...... I want to be the companion of the lord of the East Palace, I don't know...... Can you help me?"
