It's no wonder that Xiao Xue is so worried, now she is full of maternal love on her youngest daughter Qin Jinchun, and she is looking forward to Qin Jinchun's good life. She is naturally very happy to be able to say that it is a good family affair of the Cai family, but if the price of marrying a wealthy family is that the mother and daughter are separated from then on, and the younger daughter will have to go to the bitter cold land to suffer, and she will have to risk being widowed, that is another matter.

Xiao Xue's would rather her youngest daughter marry ordinarily, live a peaceful life, and grow old together.

However, not all the concubines present can understand her thoughts.

Xiao Feng comforted her: "Although the errand of the city guard is good, if Cai Seventeen has been following Cai Shizi as a follower, it will be difficult to get ahead one day." If you are transferred to the border army and garrisoned for a few years, as long as you make meritorious contributions and want to be transferred back to the capital, it will be easy to be promoted in the future. Cai Seventeen has his back against the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, and he is not worried about being appreciated, but what he lacks is qualifications and merits. Yunyang Hou arranged such an errand for his nephew, because he had the intention to cultivate him. Sister-in-law rest assured, the border army listens to danger, in fact, throughout the year, it will not encounter a few enemy attacks, and all the people who come are small groups of people, and once the army is dispatched, it will be calmed down in two days. When I was in Datong, it wasn't that I hadn't seen it, and I was quite scared at first, but I didn't expect that the enemy didn't even touch the gate of Datong City, and it was exterminated, which made people worry in vain. Our fifth master spends more time on training, and he may not be able to encounter an enemy attack once a year. I heard that there will be more battles in Yulin, but they are just sporadic small battles. ”

Cai Shengnan also said: "That's right. Don't look at Seventeen is just a distant nephew of Yunyang Hou, but he grew up in Yunyang Hou's Mansion since he was a child, and it is nothing more than that. The Cai family members all value him very much, and they will not arrange a particularly dangerous place for him, waiting for him to grow up in the future and become the pillar of the Cai family. Besides, not only the Cai family, but also the Min family, the Ma family, and so on, who really want to make some achievements in the army, who doesn't want to go to the border town? Staying in Beijing is certainly comfortable and peaceful, but if you rely on your seniority to rise up and stay until your hair turns gray, you may not be able to have four or five grades, and where can you catch up with the scenery of the generals who have returned from the border city? Not to mention our prince, even the fifth master, why is this not the case? Everyone takes this road, and the sister-in-law does not have to worry too much. ”

Yao's smiled and pushed Xiao Xue's hand: "With such a promising son-in-law, what are you worried about? Just wait for him to earn a life for the four girls of your family to come back! The son-in-law's current official position is already above the eldest uncle in terms of rank, and the scenery of the four girls in your family is still behind!"

Min said: "If the four girls are afraid of the danger of the border city, it is a big deal to stay in Beijing to take care of their family, and they will not follow to Liaodong." This kind of thing is not uncommon, in addition to the generals who lead the army must leave their families in the capital, ordinary military attaches take their families to guard the border, or leave their wives at home to support their in-laws, it is common. It's just that the young couple are separated from each other, and after a long time, the relationship is estranged and the matter is small, in case Cai Seventeen young people have a lot of firepower, they don't hold back for a while, and they find a concubine to have a room, it will be troublesome. When the time comes, I'm afraid that the elders on the in-law's side won't help the four girls speak. Therefore, after she gets married, it is best to follow Cai Qiqi, taking care of a man's food, clothing, housing and transportation is one thing, helping to deal with the contacts in the officialdom can also save a lot of effort for the man. ”

Several daughters-in-law of the Qin family, the Min family was born in Jiangmen, and Cai Shengnan and Xiao Feng have many years of experience living in border towns, so they can provide Xiao Xue's experience as a reference. They really didn't think that Cai Qiqi was sent to Liaodong to garrison the border, there was no big deal. At most, Liaodong is colder than Datong and Shuozhou, and it may not be very accustomed to winter, but Liaodong has been peaceful for a long time, and the Liaowang Mansion where it was stationed before is quite rich, and the garrison will not have a bad life, not to mention that Cai Qiqi is not from an ordinary family, with the prestige and connections of Yunyang Hou in the army, are you afraid that his young couple will suffer in the past?

However, Xiao Xue's mood did not settle down much because of the persuasion of the concubines. She knew that what others were saying was not the same thing as what she was really worried about.

After hesitating, she still frankly said the biggest worry in her heart: "When Sister Yi got married before, someone from my mother's house came to sit at the table, and then ...... Our wife is with our mother's side...... And that's it. It was my uncle who came to the house a few days ago to talk about the news from some merchants in Jiangnan, and the news from the capital...... It seems that a large amount of summer and autumn grain has been deliberately purchased, except for the localities that have left enough for their own use, and at least half of the grain produced this year has already been purchased, and even the contract has been signed, and the government has come forward to guarantee it. All of this grain has to be transported to Liaodong. When my uncle was a child, he saw the situation of Jiangnan transporting military rations to the north during the frontier war, and thought that it might be that Liaodong was preparing for war. He thought, this may be a way to make money, the court wants grain, the Xue family also has grain, and they can also go to Lingnan and Mindi to collect grain, if they can do business with the court, not only can they make money, but they can also sell a good one to the court, so they specially came to the house to inquire and asked if they could let the family get involved...... How can I know about this kind of thing? It's just that if we are going to Liaodong to transport a large amount of grain, or will the imperial court come forward and say that there is going to be a war, how can people not worry?"

If her son-in-law is to be transferred to Liaodong for a few years in the peaceful years, she may be reluctant to give up her daughter, and she is also worried about how her daughter and son-in-law will live in other places, but she will never worry about the extent that her family has not decided on this marriage. That's a war! If Cai Seventeen has a good one, what will his daughter do in this life?! Although glory and wealth are good, they must also have a life to enjoy!

Only then did the concubines understand what Xiao Xue really wanted to say. Yao immediately straightened up: "No, right? I've never heard of a war? My lord hasn't heard of it, and my mother's side hasn't ...... either" Suddenly remembered that the Yao family couldn't reach the center of power, and the grandfather Wang family ...... Since the death of my grandfather, my grandmother has closed her doors, and the long house has withdrawn directly to her hometown, and it is impossible to get the news. She pursed her lips, and was reluctant to let the concubines find out that she was not confident, so she smiled and added: "Could it be that the Liaodong Army had a deficit before, and now it is in a hurry to collect grain to fill it? Otherwise, how can we fight? Beirong and our court have been at peace for thirty or forty years!"

Cai Shengnan and Min Shi glanced at her in unison and did not answer her words.

Xiao Feng was a little hesitant: "If there is really going to be a war, our Hou Ye will definitely speak...... I haven't heard of it before, so I want to be fine?"

Xiao Xue hurriedly said: "I'm not alarmist! This is absolutely true! My uncle said that the person in charge of escorting the grain seems to have a caravan under the name of the king of Suning County, and I think it was done when he returned to the fiefdom before. My uncle saw him from afar on the docks in Cangzhou. ”

Cai Shengnan said lightly: "If there is really a big war, the court has its own opinions, and we will wait for news at home." Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, let alone look around for someone to inquire, each family has children who will be sent to guard the border, Seventeen is not the only one, it makes a lot of trouble, and it has a bad reputation for him. He has been outstanding in martial arts since he was a child, and he has ambition, so he is waiting for a good opportunity to show his skills. If there was a big war, he wouldn't miss it. ”

Xiao Xue wanted to speak and stopped.

Min said: "If there is really a big war, the military dependents can not follow the army, and the four girls don't have to follow them." Sister-in-law don't worry. ”

How could Xiao Xue's family not be worried? After listening to the words of the concubines, she was even more worried. Because she found that it was originally just a sentence from her uncle, and she was still skeptical, but now it seems to be ...... Since she was born, she had never really experienced a war, and she had never even seen the kind of small-scale border town conflict that the concubines had seen.

The Cai family also wants Cai Qiqi and Qin Jinchun to get married ahead of schedule......, why is this? It's going to be a war next year, and they want a little more time to leave Cai Seventeen behind? Wouldn't it be very likely that her little daughter would be widowed?!

Xiao Xue's heart was swollen and swollen, and his face was so pale that he seemed to faint at any time. Seeing this, the concubines were a little helpless, so they had to comfort and explain one after another.

Until Xiao Feng said: "Everything is just speculation, the eldest sister-in-law doesn't have any quasi-letters, so she is here to scare herself, what if she frightens people? He didn't mention anything about transporting military rations and going to war in Liaodong, so he was ...... It's just a matter of transporting some food. Isn't he the grandson of the former Liao Wangfu? The Liao King has now been demoted to the king of Yiyang County, maybe it is really because of a shortfall. It is also reasonable to be a grandson to make up for his grandfather. But this kind of thing is an ugly thing in his family, so how can he mention it to us? The uncle of the eldest sister-in-law may just be guessing. Xiao Xue felt reasonable, so he calmed down a little.

In the end, the concubines finally calmed down Xiao Xue's and sent them away. Looking back, Yao Shi said nonchalantly: "I thought that the second room was really a good errand to get married, and the fourth girl married a good family, but I didn't expect this result...... That's right, if it's really a rare good family affair, where is it so easy to cheapen his family?"

Cai Shengnan glanced at her, and Yao remembered that Cai Qiqi was Cai Shengnan's nephew, and his words seemed to be suspected of belittling other people's nephews. She is now close to Cai Shengnan, and said with a smile: "I said it wrong, my brother and sister's nephew were originally young talents." This family business was originally climbed by four girls. ”

Cai Shengnan really didn't know whether to be funny or angry, so he had to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and Zhengse said to the concubines: "Regardless of whether Liaodong is going to fight or not, the court has not said it explicitly, so let's not talk to anyone." It would be a sin to cause unrest to the government and the people. The eldest sister-in-law is just worried about her daughter, so let's help her handle the dowry of the fourth girl more, so that she can be busy, so naturally she will not have time to think nonsense. ”

No matter what they think in their hearts, all the concubines should say yes in unison.
