Chapter 139: Concubinage
After reading Qin Ping's letter, Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Hanzhen were all a little speechless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He was about to release such a big thing, but he only mentioned it in the letter, but wrote about He's visit in such detail, as if for him, the threat He brought to him was greater than the fact that he was promoted.
Niu couldn't help but say: "Brother Ping is really dizzy, he wants to scold that slut, just scold, but you have to remember to tell us, what's going on with the release, right? When did he leave? Where did he go out? What kind of official did he do? He didn't mention all these important things, didn't he tell us to worry about him?!"
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ping will be fine." "Although it's a little early now, the emperor has already planned for Qin Ping's future, and he has told him that he knows it, and he knows it in his heart.
Qin Hanzhen also said: "Yes, grandmother." This is the emperor's official who wants to promote his father. Not to mention that our family has just made a great contribution, even if we don't have that merit, just by virtue of the relationship between our family and the emperor, the emperor will not cheat my father. Most of the places he arranged for his father were good places and would be very good for his future prospects. ”
Niu Shi was right to think about it, and said with a smile: "It's me who is confused." However, I didn't expect your second uncle to be promoted in Datong in the end and failed to enter Beijing. She sighed and glanced at her husband, "That's what you wanted! But when will we see Brother An again, and when will he marry a virtuous daughter-in-law again?"
Qin Bai cleared his throat, not daring to say that he had asked the latter to do so in his letter to the emperor, and if there was no accident, Qin An estimated that it would be impossible to transfer to the capital for a long time, until he corrected his old problems. Niu originally thought that he was just asking the emperor to arrange a more stable official position for Qin An, but he didn't find out what kind of request her husband really made to the emperor. If she knew, she would probably be angry with Qin Bai, right?
Qin Bai changed the subject: "The He family is indeed a trouble. Fortunately, the He family and the Qingxing brothers and sisters all came to the south with us, otherwise it would be annoying for the He family to recognize them and entangle. Now Brother Ping and Brother Zi'er are still living in the Chengenhou Mansion, and we will not officially move to the new mansion until we return to the capital. Let's call the people of the long house to help stop them. As long as the He family doesn't disturb Brother Zi'er's peace, I don't bother to pay attention to which family she climbed up to in Beijing. ”
Niu snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Brother Zi'er's sake, I really want to tear this slut!"
Qin Hanzhen said with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you always have to worry about Brother Zi'er? I don't think Brother Zi'er may not know that his biological mother is a bad person. It would be nice to make it clear to him in the future. He has done so many bad things, and he still comes to the door every day to cause trouble for our family, and his grandfather, grandmother and father have repeatedly tolerated it, and it is not a long-term solution. I think He's because he knows that his grandfather and grandmother value Brother Zi'er, so he has no fear. Didn't she dare to squeeze my mother because she gave birth to a son?"
Qin Bai and Niu's glanced at each other, the latter hurriedly hugged Qin Hanzhen, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Sister Sang today? Could it be because of the He family's slut who actually annoyed your brother?"
Qin Hanzhen said: "I don't have anything to grudge against Brother Zi'er, he is still an ignorant child, and he didn't do anything against me for He's sake." I just think that my grandfather and grandmother don't have to always treat Ho lightly because they are worried about him. Originally, it was to punish her that the second uncle divorced her and sent her to the nunnery. As a result, now she did not reflect on her mistakes, but ran away with her daughter, and she also became a big man in the capital, lived a rich life, and had the courage to come to our family to call for it. She is certainly thick-skinned, but our family is too soft on her, which is the real reason why she is so arrogant. The things she did were replaced by any woman with no family background, even if she was not exiled, prison was inevitable, enough for her to shed a layer of skin. Our family is now the Hou Mansion of the Imperial Court, and we should respect the laws of the Imperial Court and let her be punished as she deserves. ”
Qin Bai's old face couldn't help but turn red, coughed lightly, and lowered his head to drink tea.
Niu Shi reasoned with Qin Hanzhen very patiently: "There are some things that our family can't talk about." Let outsiders know, it is inevitable that they will say bad things about your second uncle and Brother Zi'er. Your second uncle was at fault and confused, but now that he has understood, it is not good for him to miss his future because he has the wrong daughter-in-law. Brother Zi'er is still young, so people know that his mother is such a person, and he will not be able to raise his head outside in the future. Besides, that slut of the He family framed your mother in the first place, wanted to ruin her reputation, and still spread her gossip in the county. Although those words have been clarified in our family a long time ago, there are still people who say two sentences in private, and what is groundless may not be without reason. Think about it, this is still the case in Mizhi County, which is familiar with your mother, not to mention that no one knows your mother's capital? That kind of reputation, even if it is touched a little, is disgusting, and it will not be peaceful until your mother dies. Your cousin will also be implicated. Your grandfather and I both know that we have wronged your father and you, and we can't live up to your mother. But those who survive still have to live. ”
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and was silent for a while before he said, "Then let's tell the truth to the people in the long room." Let them stop Ho. It doesn't matter whose family she falls in the capital, unless it's the emperor, who can force us to do something that the Yongjiahou Mansion doesn't want to do?"
Niu Shi laughed when he heard this: "Where did that slut get the blessing to recognize the emperor? It must not be the family of the prince of Jin, or an official, right? I think the family of the prince of Jin is more likely, doesn't it mean that He Ziyu was the person of the princess of Jin in the past?"
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "The prince of Jin is no longer the prince of Jin, but he is just an ordinary sect child. In the past, I heard rumors about him, and it was not a good thing, why is it that now he has suddenly become a kind-hearted person, willing to take in a sister and niece of a former staff member of his mother's private Zhuangzi?"
Niu said: "It's just to add two pairs of chopsticks, how much trouble can it be? God knows if the former prince of Jin really knows such a person as the He family, doesn't he say that the He family is more familiar with the wife of that family?"
Qin Hanzhen pouted: "It's the Wang family again." Why is this Wang family haunted? The second aunt of the long house has already turned her face with the people in the royal family's room, how can the aunt and grandmother of the Wang family still have the face to support an irrelevant woman?"
Qin Bai shook his head: "The Wang family has no reason to meddle in this matter anyway. They probably don't have the time to bother with such idle things now. "The prince came back safely, and the Wang family successively supported the two clan disciples to fight for the throne and failed, at this time it is time to be honest, otherwise it will be targeted by the officials of the East Palace at any time.
Niu said: "Who cares about the Wang family? I'm afraid that the slut will see Brother Zi'er and coax Brother Zi'er to go with her, or coax Brother Zi'er to get along with us." Now that our husband and wife are not at home, Brother Ping is going out again, we can only count on the people in the long house to take care of Brother Zi'er, how can people rest assured? Sister Sang is reasonable, let's make it clear to the people in the long house. They had also heard a little about King Qin, and they were all from their own family, so they told the truth. ”
Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips: "Brother Zi'er is also older now, and he has been studying with his grandfather for more than a year, and he also understands some superficial truths. As long as Haosheng explains it to him clearly, he should not continue to blindly believe in any clan. If he is really confused, we just need to tell the He family that my father and second uncle are about to get married, and there will be new heirs by then, and Brother Zi'er will no longer be the only man, and he will not be so expensive. If He really wanted to take his son away, maybe he would have solved a problem for our family. If He really cared about Brother Zi'er, she should have come to the door as soon as she arrived in the capital, and now she has only shown up, who believes that she really misses her son? There must be other plans! When I see it, she will leave Brother Zi'er and run away again. ”
Niu slapped her angrily: "Nonsense! Regardless of whether Brother Zi'er is the only male or not, the children of our Qin family have no reason to be handed over to people with foreign surnames." You used to love Brother Zi'er, why do you want to be angry with him now when you know that he doesn't understand anything?"
Qin Hanzhen's face was slightly red, and he was also a little embarrassed, and muttered: "Don't I think our family is too soft-hearted when facing the He family?
Niu Shi sighed and looked at Qin Bai. Both husband and wife began to reflect on whether they really attached too much importance to Brother Zi'er's mood and ignored their granddaughter's thoughts? For the sake of a grandson, it is worth the loss to hurt the hearts of the son and granddaughter.
Qin Bai wrote back to Beijing and asked his son what kind of official he had been promoted, where he was going to be outside, whether he would have time to meet them again, and how Brother Zi'er would make arrangements, whether he would stay in Beijing or something else.
Before his letter was written, Huang Jincheng came to him excitedly: "Master Hou, the leaker has been found, I really didn't guess wrong!"
Qin Bai was stunned for a moment: "It's really Zhao Jie?!"
Huang Jincheng nodded with a smile, took the tea handed over by Zhao Mo, and took a big sip before resting. Just now he was excited for a while, and he ran a little panting.
After drinking tea, he said to Qin Bai: "This is a letter from my family, talking about sending my wife and children over to reunite with me, and mentioning that there is a bit of chaos in Beijing now." That Zhao Cheng also had a lot of enemies in the past, and the Wang family couldn't get along with him, so with a little action, he found out his secret and let the news out. Zhao Hao really heard from the old people in the palace that the prince was actually not recuperating in Xiaotangshan, and he didn't know what means he used, he heard some inside information from the Tu family, and asked him to deduce the truth about the prince's southward journey, so he deliberately asked someone to leak it out, wanting to embarrass the prince, the palace of the king of Shu and the prince of Liao. He didn't have a good heart at all, and he was bent on causing chaos in the world. ”
Qin Bai frowned and asked, "Has the emperor dealt with him now?"
"Naturally, I dealt with it, but I didn't charge him with leaking secrets. Huang Jincheng smiled, "It's also unlucky for him." Now that his parents have just died, his father and mother are filial piety, and he has to keep filial piety for three years. But after he got the new mansion, he not only first recruited some beautiful and healthy girls to enter the mansion as maids and prepare to take the house, but also recently accepted a woman who had given birth as a concubine, and recognized the woman's daughter as a righteous daughter, and raised the girl as a serious girl. Even if he is angry with his wife because he has no heirs, and he is against the Wang family, he has no reason to ignore the rules and etiquette. With such a blatant charge, as long as the emperor has the heart to punish him, who can refute it? Zhao Jie is now even the title of the auxiliary general, and he is no different from the children of ordinary clans. No matter how much he regrets it now, it's too late. ”
Qin Bai was stunned and noticed one of his sentences: "Zhao Cheng accepted the woman who gave birth as a concubine?
