Chapter 686: Deliberation
Qin Jian quickly rushed to the annex of the Suning County Palace, and saw Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo.
Qin Jian can be said to be radiant and radiant recently, even if there is no smile on his face, people can see that he is in a good mood. As soon as Qin Hanzhen saw him, he couldn't help but quip: "It's really refreshing for people to be happy on happy occasions, I see that Brother Lobby looks like he is a lot younger than when we last met, are you fifteen years old this year?"
Qin Jian smiled and glanced at her: "Third sister, don't be naughty, you and your brother-in-law are also radiant and complacent, but I am one step ahead, a little ahead of you, and I have to meet a great happy event!"
What he said was that Yu Xinlan was a little unwell a few days ago, and invited a doctor to come and see her, and the result was a diagnosis of happy pulse. Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan are still newly married, and Yu Xinlan is pregnant, which is of course a great joy. Not to mention that Qin Jian was so happy every day, even Qin Zhonghai and the Yao family were also overjoyed.
Although Yao said that he wanted his daughter-in-law to have a good birth and rest and raise the fetus, not to work too hard, but he did not mean to take back the power of giving back to the middle school, at most he was just to help from the side - at this time, the daughter-in-law and grandson are important, and she will not do anything that will make her daughter-in-law unhappy. As long as the daughter-in-law will not be too tired because the housekeeper is too tired, it doesn't matter if she continues to hold the power of feeding, and the person in charge must be a person who the daughter-in-law can trust, so as to ensure that the daughter-in-law's supply is good. Yao thinks she is a good mother-in-law, so she won't get into trouble in such trivial matters!
Successfully admitted to the Jinshi, about to be awarded the official and entered the office, the newlywed wife is pregnant, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also harmonious, if you don't mention that the grandmother Xu is still sick, and the grandfather Qin Song still spends every day drinking, Qin Jian can say that there is no unpleasant place, it is the spring breeze that is proud, and it is naturally radiant. Cousin Qin Hanzhen teased him twice, he was not angry at all, and in turn teased Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo. He felt that he got married later than his sister and brother-in-law, but his wife was pregnant first, and while he was in a good mood, he also jokingly urged his sister and brother-in-law to let them hurry up and get pregnant. If the two children are born at about the same time, maybe they can still talk about marriage in the future, and kiss each other, wouldn't it be better?
Qin Hanzhen understood the meaning of Qin Jian's words in his heart, and secretly shivered, haha twice, and diverted the conversation. Her body is only sixteen years old, and she is still immature, so it is more stable to wait two more years for pregnancy or something. She didn't want to take risks in the middle of giving birth. Regarding this matter, she had already communicated with Zhao Mo in private. Zhao Mo is looking forward to her safe and long life, the couple can grow old together, and naturally they will not urge her to give birth too early, which will damage her body and affect her life expectancy. As for the benefits of late marriage and late childbearing, there is no need for Qin Hanzhen to make great efforts to explain it. When choosing a concubine for the new monarch in the palace, he also picked a slightly older one, and Zhao Mo had already heard the truth and was convinced.
With Zhao Mo's support, his father-in-law is not around, and there is no mother-in-law on his head, Qin Hanzhen has no pressure. Even if the elders in the clan joked a few words and urged her to have a child as soon as possible, it was just lip service. The opinions of the elders, who may not be able to see once a month, don't care too much. As for the elders in the palace, they are both Zhao Mo's elders and Qin Hanzhen's elders, even if they are urged, they will not really mean her with a beauty or something. Xinjun himself is a difficult example of an heir, and he has been urged to have a son for more than ten or twenty years, let alone use the same thing to embarrass the juniors close to him. In this way, Qin Hanzhen can wait for his body to grow up again before considering the issue of childbirth. Zhao Mo is also willing to cooperate, and there is no disharmony between the young couple.
It's just that Qin Jian is so embarrassed, Qin Han really doesn't care, but Zhao Mo is inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart. He glanced at his eldest brother a few times, as if asking casually: "Hanzhen heard that you have not been able to set the location of the foreign appointment, and I am a little worried, let me discuss it with you." What the hell is going on? How can it be delayed? Isn't it a very simple thing?"
Qin Jian was poked by him, and the smugness on his face dissipated a little, and he said to him and Qin Hanzhen with a wry smile: "Where is it difficult for me to decide the location of the foreign appointment......?
Qin Hanzhen asked: "What's the matter? The third uncle has successfully taken office, what is your problem? Could it be that the eldest uncle and grandmother are blocking it?"
Qin Jian said: "Grandmother always feels that she is not lightly ill, and she is afraid that the children and grandchildren around her have left home, and she will have a good one in the future, and we will not have time to rush back to see her." Her father and mother have persuaded her countless times, saying that her physical condition is quite stable now, and as long as she is good at birth, there will be no mistakes. But she was determined and insisted that I stay in the capital to serve, and said that if I couldn't enter the Hanlin Academy, I would enter the Sixth Department, just as easy and decent, so why should I have to suffer from other provinces? No matter how I persuaded her, she refused to listen, and regretted letting the third uncle out at the beginning, so that now there are fewer people around me who are filial......"
Qin Han really thought, where is the Xu family's body that lacks filial piety? Qin Shutao went to a foreign assignment and took away his wife and daughter, and the only one who could serve in front of the Xu family in the Chengenhou Mansion was Yao's daughter-in-law, and the Yao family had always had a grudge against the Xu family, and he did not add to the Xu family. Perhaps the Xu family is nostalgic for the cold-hearted, generous and fair little daughter-in-law Min from the front. If the Min family is here, the Yao family has concerns, and they will never be so harsh on their mother-in-law. But what's the use of regretting it now? If it weren't for the fact that Xu's tone of voice was too hurtful and chilled Min's heart, Min would not have instigated her husband to go to Beijing to serve as an official, who would be impatient to stay at home and endure Xu's eccentricity?
This time, Qin Jian went to a foreign post, and the Xu family was probably also afraid, worried that as soon as Qin Jian left, Yu Xinlan would also be taken away, and the Yao family would be left alone in the Chengenhou Mansion, and there would be no scruples anymore. Although Qin Zhonghai is a filial son, he has to go to the yamen to work every day, and the rest of the concubines are not worth mentioning, and the people in the three rooms next door don't care about the affairs of the East Mansion, and the family is not all under the Yao family's final say?
Qin Hanzhen didn't say anything, and Zhao Mo said to Qin Jian: "It's good to find a place in Zhili nearby, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity to become an official now, go to other places, wait for a few years in the Sixth Department, and then find a foreign appointment, it will not be so easy." The ties at home will always be there, and there will never be a day when they disappear. ”
Qin Jian hesitated and said, "Xinlan is pregnant now, so it is not suitable for a long journey, in fact, I am also ...... I considered taking the previous term in Kyochung first. ”
Zhao Mo sighed: "If it is not far from the capital, when my sister-in-law is older and the fetus is stable, it will not be difficult to hurry." You can easily do it for six or seven years. If there is no funeral at home, after six or seven years, your child should consider going to school. When the time comes, you have to worry about this and that, and it will be even more difficult to get out and travel. ”
Qin Jian thought about it, and felt reluctant. He actually really wanted to go abroad. Although the life in Beijing is stable and comfortable, if he does not take advantage of the time when he is now full of ambition to go outside Beijing to experience it, he is afraid that the stable life will live for a long time, he will lose his ambition, and he will no longer have the motivation he has today.
Even if he is the son of a relative, his future is limited, and he can't reach the heights that Wenchen can achieve in his life, but he is also an aspiring scholar, and he also wants to make some achievements in officialdom, rather than just a mediocre life.
Zhao Mo gave him an idea: "Pick a more stable county in the Zhili area and seek the position of a county parent official." It doesn't matter if the place isn't too rich. Zhili place, the name of the Qin family is still loud enough, no one will dare to provoke you easily, your orders can be accessed, you are in charge of a county, there is no one to control the elbows, and then find a few capable staff to help, money and connections, you are not lacking, you can make some achievements, you will be transferred back to the capital in the future, and your resume is also good-looking. If you are far away from the capital, even if you can make greater achievements, I am afraid that there are people who are uninformed and bold, who do not take you seriously, and will be unfavorable to you for some petty profits, even if you are not afraid, you must think about your family. ”
Qin Jian thought deeply: "I've thought about these too. I'm not afraid to be honest with you, although I have some ambitions, I am really a son and brother who grew up in a rich nest, and I have not experienced any risks. If I had met an outlaw, I wouldn't have the courage to do anything with them. Originally, I wanted to go to a foreign post, but I also planned to choose a place where I would be more stable and prosperous, or at least a place of peace, where there would be no bandits and bullies. ”
Qin Hanzhen listened funny: "If you say so, the most stable place is Suning." It's a pity that there are already people in Suning County, and besides, your relationship with us is so close, I'm afraid that the officials won't agree to let you go. ”
Zhao Mo said: "Suning naturally can't do it, with me, no matter how many times Suning County Order is replaced, I can't talk about any credit, so the people in this position only need to be honest and obedient." Brother Jian was too wasteful in the past, but it was the Gaoyang County Order, which can be considered. ”
"Gaoyang County?" Qin Hanzhen blinked.
Qin Jian quickly reacted: "Is it Gaoyang County in the north of Suning?" I remember that King Ninghua seems to be ......."
Zhao Mo nodded: "King Ninghua once had a secret station in Gaoyang County, and he was a Zhuangzi, just on the border. Because of this incident, when the people of the Imperial City Secret Spy Division and the government went out together to purge the remnants of King Ninghua, they scraped the ground in Gaoyang County. Gaoyang County Commander is also a clever person, and afterwards, under the sign of the imperial court, he ordered people to purge all the hooligans and ruffians in the territory, so Gaoyang County is now very clean and honest. Because of his meritorious service, the Gaoyang County Commander is about to be promoted after the expiration of his term, and this position is vacant. If Brother Jian wants to fight for it and act as soon as possible in the end, if it drags on for a long time...... he paused, "It's hard to say. ”
Qin Jian thought that he meant that such a quiet place close to the capital, I am afraid that there are many people to fight for it, in case someone is preempted, he will miss a great opportunity, and hurriedly agreed: "I'll go back and tell my father." ”
