Chapter 485: Interrupted
How could it be the Marquis of Yunyang's Mansion?!
Qin Jinyi's heart felt as if she had been bitten by ants, and she tingled faintly.
Even if she didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, she knew that the power of the Pei Guo Mansion could not be compared with the Yunyang Hou Mansion. Even if the Duke of Pei successfully sent his daughter to the East Palace, gave birth to the emperor's grandson, and became a real relative, it would not be as good as the general of the dynasty who held the military power. The relatives can do the Qin family and the Tu family, they have reached the peak, but the Qin family is not a high-ranking official, and has been excluded from the circle of powerful officials, and the Tu family only survives by the emperor's respect for the queen mother. Which of these two can be compared to the Cai family?
Even when Lu Yueniang married the Hou Shizi of Yunyang, it didn't make sense how many sour things she said to her grandmother to belittle others. Lu Yueniang just climbed the high branches, Lu Pu and Qin Youzhen are the husband and wife, and they no longer have to look at the face of the second room of the Qin family. At most, grandmother Xue Shi just said sour things at home, how could she really scold in front of Qin Youzhen? Father Qin Bofu changed his arrogant attitude in the past and became courteous and close to his sister and brother-in-law. This is the power brought by the power of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.
This is a family that she Qin Jinyi can't climb no matter what, even if she asks Lu Yueniang to climb up, although I don't know what shit luck the latter has taken, but anyway, Uncle Lu is a third-grade high-ranking official, regardless of the status of the Qin family's relatives, the third-grade high-ranking official is naturally higher than the sixth-grade Qin Bofu. However, what is Qin Jinchun? She was also born in the second room of the Qin family, and she is also a descendant, with a good look, talent, temperament, and upbringing...... is not as good as her in everything! Why can people who can't climb Qin Jinyi take a fancy to her Qin Jinchun?!
Could it be that in the future, when the two sisters got married, when they went out to socialize with others, they introduced themselves to others, one was the granddaughter-in-law of the head of the Guogong Mansion who had lost the Duke of Guo, and the other was the young lady of the dignified Yunyang Marquis Mansion? Even if Cai Qiqi was not the biological son of the Marquis of Yunyang, the difference in the status of the two families was enough to make Qin Jinyi feel jealous.
The Xue family was still complaining there: "I'm not an unreasonable person, your old son persuaded me that this family business can be done, and it will be good for you, and the elders of the Pei family know that your sister married into the Yunyang Hou Mansion, and they can also look up to you." I listened to it, and I also felt that it made sense, and I thought about reconsidering this family business, if Yunyang Hou was willing to promote him, a distant nephew, instead of always calling him the follower of the prince, it was not that I couldn't marry your sister. Who knew that your old son and mother refused to listen to my orders, and even used a bowl of soothing soup against me, making me sleep for most of the day. By the time I woke up, the marriage had already been decided! Even the Geng posts and tokens had been exchanged, and they were already in place and could not be changed. I think your mother is so unfilial, she actually talks to me, I will punish her to kneel in the Buddha hall for a few hours, your father can openly disobey my order and take your mother away, it can be seen that he has no filial piety, and completely left me behind! I scolded him, he still has no fear, saying that if I think I am reasonable, I will go to the yamen to sue him, do you say this is human words?!"
Qin Jinyi was impatient to listen to her tirade, and directly interrupted her: "Grandmother, why did the fourth sister's family affair suddenly settle on the Yunyang Marquis Mansion? I have never heard of it before!"
Xue said disapprehantly: "Your father said that the Cai family had come to test it a long time ago, and Lu Yueniang's girl personally set up the line, and the Yao family from the long room helped to say something." It's just that your father was hesitating about the Pei family's family affairs at the time, and neither side agreed, so we didn't hear about it. She felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, no matter who it was, between the eldest grandson of Pei Guogong and the distant nephew of Yunyang Hou, the former would also be given priority.
Qin Jinyi's face changed: "The fourth sister should have known that the Cai family wanted to come to propose marriage, right? Therefore, I robbed the Pei family's relatives, and she could still not be in a hurry, it turned out that she had already retreated." "Qin Jinchun even lied for her in front of the Pei family! How generous, how considerate, but it's a pity that such generous and considerate words and deeds are the most unbearable place for her fellow sister Qin Jinyi!
Qin Jinyi reluctantly smiled and said to the Xue family: "Grandmother, you can't agree to this family affair in the Marquis of Yunyang! Father and mother are confused, you can't be confused! Cousin Lu was born to her aunt, but her aunt was raised by her aunt, so she was not as noble as her father. And Cousin Lu is now married to Cai Shizi and has become the future head of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, Cai Seventeen is destined to be an errand under Cai Shizi in the future, if the fourth sister becomes his wife, won't she have to grovel to Cousin Lu for the rest of her life? What is the difference between that and your father groveling in front of your aunt for the rest of her life? Grandmother, you are your aunt's mother-in-law, this matter is related to your dignity, and you must not give in!"
Xue Shi sighed: "Didn't you think about it? I was originally resolutely opposed because of this. But your father is like lard and has been blinded to me. Later, your mother persuaded me again, saying that the Pei family would also be willing to be in-laws with the Cai family, and it would be good for you for the four girls to marry the Cai family. I thought about it and thought it made sense, so I was relieved. However, even if I agree to let the four girls marry, it doesn't mean that I forgive your father! They have gone too far with me! Where is the attitude that a son and daughter-in-law should have?!"
The more Xue Shi spoke, the more excited he became, and he was about to scold his son and daughter-in-law, but was interrupted by his eldest granddaughter again: "Grandmother! Father must be greedy for the power of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, so he made a mistake." Now Aunt Zhang still lives in the long house, I heard that the cousin of the Lu family often goes over to greet her and Aunt Fu, and even Cousin Lu often sends things over. If the fourth sister really marries the nephew of the Cai family, the Lu family will definitely stand on Aunt Zhang's side in the future and help step on your face and the face of your children and grandchildren!"
Qin Jinyi knew the most unbearable point in her grandmother's heart, and her words really hit Xue's heart. She sank her face: "That's right, when I think about this, I can't say awkward in my heart." Who told you that Lao Tzu refused to listen to me? He doesn't know what kind of madness he has, since I was sick last year, he has become more and more ignorant of me! He was willing to listen to a few words of advice from me before, but now he directly takes my words as a deaf ear!"
Qin Jinyi hurriedly said: "In this case, you will try to persuade him again? He is your son, are you still afraid that he will dare to disobey you? If you are really annoyed, you go to the yamen to sue him, let him have great ambitions, and don't want to be an official again! Father is still afraid?"
Xue Shi frowned, looked at Qin Jinyi and said: "Sister Yi, if you don't say these truths, I understand them, but if your father is really hard-hearted and refuses to give in, I can't take him, I can't really go to the yamen to sue him, right? I only have such a son, and if I really sue him, although his future is ruined, but I can't do well either." Besides, if his reputation is ruined, what will you do? Can the Pei family still like you?"
Qin Jinyi choked for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "I'm not ...... Do you want to scare your father? Where is the real one who told you to sue him?"
The Xue family didn't doubt it, and sighed: "It's because he knows that I won't really sue him, so he has so much fear!" said and scolded the Xue family again, "If it weren't for the fact that they had a split with us for the silver, there would still be someone to help persuade us now." It's a shame that they still have the face to eat your happy wine, and even asked me if I can remarry the daughter of the family, which is actually the idea of Brother Xun! If the Xue family really has a good daughter and can get a good dowry, I am also happy to marry a caring niece and granddaughter to be the granddaughter-in-law, but where are there any good girls in the younger generation of the Xue family? I had a big trouble with your father for silver before, and now your father is even annoyed with me, where am I embarrassed to open such a mouth?!"
The Xue family looked up at Qin Jinyi: "I see that the Xue family's side was so resolute before, but now they are begging to come to the door in a low voice, but I am afraid that something has really happened." I'm annoyed with your mother, and your father hates the Xue family again, and I have nowhere to inquire at home. Now that you are married, it is more convenient to act than when you were at home, so when you have leisure, let the roommates go out to help inquire about it? See what trouble the Xue family has encountered? Go back and hand me a letter, if it is urgent, you can help. What the hell is our family's blood relative!"
Where is Qin Jinyi in the mood to pay attention to the Xue family? She was still thinking about Qin Jinchun's family affairs in her heart, and she was worried that she couldn't stop her sister's marriage, so she said casually: "It's not very convenient for me to act in the Pei family, and I still have to recuperate from my injuries, and I am guarding filial piety, where can I get out? The Pei family is now headed by Pei's second grandmother, and she and my mother-in-law are a little discordant. ”
Xue Shi hurriedly asked: "Didn't you say before that you had a good life in your mother-in-law's house, everyone treated you very politely, even your mother-in-law didn't need you to set rules, and Miss Pei didn't dare to snub you anymore?
Qin Jinyi said: "I've only been married for a few days? Anyway, our big house can't be combined with the second and third rooms, and even I, the new daughter-in-law who just married in, can see it. But I am the daughter of the Qin family, and no matter how much they fight, they don't dare to provoke me easily. Grandmother, you can rest assured. If someone really doesn't look long and starts my idea, I'm not easy to bully!" I didn't pay attention to my own words, contradicting myself.
Xue didn't think deeply: "Cheng, I am the most assured of your ability." The Pei family still has a request for our Qin family, they don't dare to snub you. You should only be born in your own yard to recuperate, and from time to time you must meet your son-in-law, say some kind words of concern, and envelop his heart, and then slowly put ears and eyes around him, lest any little hoof that does not have long eyes hook his heart. In this way, when he is full of filial piety for a year, he has a round with you, and even the injury on your leg has been explained, and then he conceives a child as soon as possible, and you will really have a firm foothold in the Pei family!"
Qin Jinyi blushed, nodded, and then said coquettishly: "Grandmother, the Pei family now has to keep filial piety, and the food is all vegetarian dishes, clear soup and little water, so it tastes good! And their family only allows me to wear silk for three days of marriage, and when I return to the door today, I will wear linen and filial piety with Pei Cheng." Even if I say that I want to recuperate, I don't have to go to the mourning hall to cry, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures in the room, it's so hard!" she opened her ten fingers to show Xue, "Look, my fingers are swollen." ”
Xue didn't notice where the eldest granddaughter's fingers were swollen, but he still comforted her softly: "It's okay, this is the etiquette that should be observed." When you pass this year's filial piety, the Pei family will really not be able to move you. Among the dowry girls I arranged for you, there is one who can write, and will imitate your handwriting. If you are tired of copying Buddhist scriptures, quietly ask her to help you write for you, just don't let people know. ”
Qin Jinyi reluctantly agreed.
