Chapter 447: Shaking
Qin Bofu did not object to the marriage of Pei Guogong's mansion.
The Pei family's actions were quite fast, and once they made up their minds, they took action. Uncle Pei and Grandma Pei came to the second room of the Qin family early this morning and talked to Uncle Qin about their children's affairs. They probably also know that the current situation of Pei Guogong's Mansion is not very ideal, although the second room of the Qin family is more depressed than the other two, but they can still borrow the momentum of the two Hou Mansions, and they may not be able to look down on Pei Cheng. If Qin Bofu wants to agree to the marriage between Qin Jinchun and Pei Cheng, they still need to be tempted.
Among the conditions proposed by the Pei family, there were two that made Qin Bofu the most moved.
First, Uncle Pei will use his father Pei Guogong's protégé and old connections to help Uncle Qin reinstate. The Pei family is not sure that he will soar, but it is no problem to find him a six-grade idle official position in the capital. Even if you don't have real power in your hands, it's a real six-grade official position, which is better than being idle. And after becoming an official, even if he has no merit, just to boil his qualifications, he still has the hope of being promoted. Now Qin Bofu is not as good as before, there is the Qin family to rely on, as well as the in-laws of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, and his brother-in-law Lu Pu is also a powerful high-ranking official, and his future is promising.
Second, Uncle Pei has already discussed with his father Pei Guogong, and when Pei Guogong is still conscious, he will ask the emperor for a favor and seek a position for his eldest grandson, even if he is the most idle master in the six departments, he also has six products, which is not much lower than Qin Bofu's identity. When the time comes, he will marry Qin Jinchun as his wife, and he will have the two marquis mansions of the Qin family as his backers, and Qin Jinchun will be friendly with the lord of Donggong Minshun, and he is afraid that he will not be able to give Pei Cheng a better future? This is already stronger than Qin Bofu's cousins of the same generation, maybe he can feed back to the Yue family and pull his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Qin Bofu actually knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to choose a son-in-law for his second daughter, the adopted son of the Marquis of Yunyang, he might not be as good as Pei Guogong's eldest grandson. The latter family is on the verge of decay, but the former has a bright future. However, it has been nearly a year since her niece Lu Yueniang married into the Yunyang Marquis Mansion as the wife of the prince. No matter how prominent the Yunyang Marquis Mansion is, what is the use? The Cai family can't even reinstate him as an official, or they refuse to do it. The two families are now in-laws, and marrying Qin Jinchun to the Cai family is just icing on the cake. What you can't get before, you still can't get. If you have the opportunity, marrying another in-law may not be a good choice.
What's more, he also heard some gossip that the position of the commander of the city guard of Yunyang Marquis was likely to be replaced. If that's the case, the Cai family will lose power, and if they really give Qin Jinchun to Cai Seventeen, they will only waste a daughter in vain.
On Pei Guogong's side, he was so sincere, he must come to the door to ask for marriage, and he also put forward those two tempting conditions, which made Qin Bofu can't help but be moved.
Although Pei Guogong has had a stroke for many years, there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship. The children of the Pei family are busy serving the sick, and they can be mediocre themselves, and they don't do well as officials, which is normal. But he Qin Bofu is different! He has talent and status, and as long as he has the opportunity to be reinstated, he will definitely be able to make achievements! The Pei Guo Mansion will take a fancy to Qin Jinchun, and it must be because of the Qin family's status as a relative and the friendly relationship with the East Palace, in an attempt to use Qin Jinchun's connections behind him to benefit his grandson. The Pei family can make such calculations, and he, Qin Bofu, can naturally fight too! It's just that the Yunyang Hou Mansion, the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, and the Yongjia Hou Mansion have no intention of letting him recover, so he is in an awkward position. As long as the Pei family can give him a chance to reinstate, the rest will be easy to do!
Qin Bofu had such a dream, and his attitude was naturally shaken in his youngest daughter's marriage. His wife did mention to him the benefits of the Cai family, and before today, he was also looking forward to promoting this marriage, suspecting that the Yunyang Hou Mansion was unwilling to promote him, because his relationship with the Yunyang Hou Mansion was not close enough, and when his biological daughter became the Cai family's daughter-in-law, the situation would definitely be different. However, after the Pei family came to the door, he changed his mind. Married to the Pei family, he also has a chance to be reinstated, and Pei Cheng's personality is gentle, not as assertive as Cai Qiqi, and he seems to be a better candidate for son-in-law. If he wants his son-in-law to help him more in the future, a mild-tempered person will naturally be better at his mercy than an assertive person.
Qin Bofu's vacillation was what really made Xiao Xue and Qin Jinchun feel uneasy. They don't have the same ambition as Qin Bofu, they just feel that they are good at talking about family affairs, and if they make a mistake halfway, they will only ruin Qin Jinchun's reputation. Besides, Qin Jinchun and Cai Qiqi have met a few times, and they have a good impression of each other, and they have already identified this marriage partner in their hearts, and suddenly said that they will change people, Qin Jinchun can't accept it emotionally at all. She didn't know Pei Cheng, but she knew what kind of person Pei Yin was, and she didn't want to marry Pei Guogong Mansion in her heart.
However, it was difficult for Xiao Xue's clan to confront Qin Bofu, so she could only rush to Chengenhou's mansion to find Yao's family and ask what was going on. As long as the Yao family gives a message to the Pei Guogong Mansion and makes it clear that this marriage cannot be done, then Qin Jinchun can get out. Xiao Xue's heart also complained a little about Yao's family, the original candidate proposed by Yao's family, since she had already selected a Cai Seventeen, what did Yao say more to the Pei family?
Xiao Xue explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and then cried and begged Niu's: "Ask your aunt to be the master of our Sister Chun! Mrs. Yunyang Hou has already seen Sister Chun, and the two families have already agreed on the family affair in their hearts, so they just need to officially change the Geng post, how can they change their hexagram at this time? After all, the second brother and sister are not Sister Chun'er's mother-in-law, and they only care about her own face, where will they really think about Sister Chun? And our uncle ......?"
She paused: "Uncle is confused, and he was coaxed by Uncle Pei's few rhetoric." If Pei Guogong's Mansion really has the ability to recommend people to be officials, don't they have brothers and nephews in their own house? Young Master Pei is still white! Why are they going to cheapen our uncle? Young Master Pei's official position still depends on Pei Guogong to ask for grace. No matter how I listen to it, I think the Pei family is just bragging, but our master just can't hear it!"
Niu and Qin Hanzhen listened solemnly, and they were speechless for Qin Bofu's behavior in their hearts. Qin Han really thought, looking at Qin Bofu's courteous appearance yesterday, he really couldn't see that he had never really done anything for his reinstatement in the Qin and Cai families, and he had always complained. Just because of this cousin's uncle's temperament, it is a good thing that he is not an official, and it is good for the entire Qin family. In the past, when the family was not separated, the elders of the long room and the third room could still suppress him. Now that the family has been separated, the prestige of the Xue family is fading, Qin Bofu is in charge of the family alone, he is really wrong, and others really can't restrain him, but it is easy to bring trouble to his family.
However, are the two conditions mentioned by the Pei family true or false? If his family has this ability, why hasn't he shown it all these years? And Pei Guogong, can't he even speak clearly? Can he really ask for an official position for his grandson? Pei Cheng, a young man, has no merit and no fame, how can he get this grace?
Qin Hanzhen was still thinking about it, and the Niu family had already called the girl: "Go to Dongfu to see if the second grandmother is idle, let her come to me quickly." ”
Yao's came over soon, and when he came, he smiled and apologized to Niu's: "I've disturbed the third aunt." My sister-in-law misunderstood me, and I wanted to explain it to my sister-in-law, but she was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything......"
Xiao Xue said angrily: "The second brother and sister must have a conscience when they speak! Where can I not listen to you? It's your words that make people angry!"
Yao just laughed there: "Look, isn't the eldest sister-in-law angry?" I said it, it's really just a misunderstanding......
Qin Hanzhen intercepted her words: "What did the eldest aunt misunderstand? The second aunt might as well tell us in detail? Could it be that the second aunt did not agree to the Pei family?"
Yao was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I can't say that I can't see each other, it's just that Grandma Pei asked me to go out to make incense, and said that I would bring your second sister and fourth sister together and be a companion with Miss Pei." This is also a common thing, and it doesn't matter if it gets out, it won't ruin your fourth sister's reputation. As for family affairs or something, once there is a quasi-letter on the side of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, Pei Guogong's Mansion will naturally not mention it again. ”
Qin Hanzhen disagreed: "But the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion doesn't have a letter yet." Miss Pei often goes to the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang, and it is said that she almost discussed marriage with Cai Seventeen, but the Pei family did not agree, so she did it. But it can be seen that the two families are close. The second aunt just arranged for Mrs. Yunyang Hou to see the fourth sister in our house, and then asked the fourth sister to see Grandma Pei, so I didn't think that if someone in the Pei family mentioned it in the Yunyang Hou Mansion, even if the people outside didn't know that it was a look, the Yunyang Hou Mansion was not necessarily a fool, and I couldn't understand what was going on. At that time, the marriage of the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang has come to naught, and the second aunt plans to tell the fourth sister which family? Could it be that it is still the Pei Guo Mansion?"
Yao Shi was speechless after saying this, and only after a while did he say: "The day of worshiping the Buddha has not yet been decided, if the four girls are really unhappy, on that day, they will say that they are sick and will not go, won't it be over?"
Qin Jinchun and Xiao Xue's mother and daughter looked at each other, and they didn't understand why Yao's words changed again?
Niu frowned and said, "Daughter-in-law Zhonghai, what are you thinking? Could it be that you are really coaxing the Pei family?!"
Yao sighed: "Now is not the time to offend their family. Don't say that it's just an agreement to incense a piece, it's not necessarily when to go, even if you really go to incense together, this looks like it is also divided into phase and incompatible. On the top of the eight characters, you can also make some articles. Reject the person well, and that's it. I'm not afraid to say a word to the third aunt and sister-in-law, I have picked a good place to worship the Buddha, and the monks are willing to help the four girls, and the Pei family does not dare to ask for the word kiss again. Our family has benefited from it, but we don't complain, what's so bad?!"
Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows, this is ...... Did even other people's "monks" buy it?
Niu then said to Yao: "Since you have such an idea, why don't you make it clear to your sister-in-law and nephew? Look at how scared they are? Also, if the Cai family really knows about this, how are you going to explain it to them?"
Yao sighed and said: "It was originally well arranged, where do you need to explain anything? If the Cai family had made a family decision with the second room before the day of worshipping the Buddha came, Grandma Pei would naturally not have made an appointment with me again." I didn't expect that the Pei family was so eager that they went directly to the door to find the eldest uncle. Look at what the eldest uncle means, do you really want to marry the Pei family? I'm just a matchmaker, not the mother of the fourth girl, and I can't actually be the master of her marriage. The eldest uncle has fallen in love with Pei Cheng, what can I do?"
