"Liaodong?" Qin Ping paused with his hand holding the tea bowl and looked at his wife Cai Shengnan. [with _ dream]ā

Cai Shengnan smiled and put a bowl of cold noodles on the table, and set up the chopsticks again: "That's what my sister-in-law said." She is still a little worried, reluctant to let her daughter go to Liaodong with her husband to live after she gets married, and I don't know how many years she will be separated from her family. ”

Cai Shengnan did not say Xiao Xue's speculation that Liaodong might go to war, but only mentioned Cai XVII's promotion and appointment. Xiao Xue's face was full of sorrow when he came to the door today, and many people saw it, this is something that can't be hidden, it's better to tell half the truth. What's more, Cai Shengnan also has news that he wants to inquire about.

Qin Ping thought for a while and said, "The marriage of the fourth niece should be next year." Cai Qiqi is about to be transferred to Liaodong now, which is actually earlier. "Actually, it's a bit of a surprise. But this is also a last resort. The Yunyang Marquis Mansion originally planned to let Cai Qiqi go to Liaodong after marriage, but the current situation is ...... There is nothing wrong with going earlier, at this time, it is more convenient to lay out in Liaodong in advance, and it can also find a more advantageous position for Cai Qiqi.

Therefore, Qin Ping said to Cai Shengnan again: "Cai Seventeen is just one of the people who was transferred to Liaodong. The Marquis of Yunyang intends to transfer the children of the clan out of the city guard, except for a few people who are transferred to the forbidden army, there are a few people who go to other border towns, Xuanfu, Datong, Yulin, etc., there should be four who go to Liaodong, except for one who is in the prime of life, which has passed one step earlier than the previous year, and two people, there should be an order down this year. Cai Seventeen is the youngest of them, which is not a special case. After the demotion of the King of Liao, Liaodong has removed a number of military attachés, and it is necessary to fill a large number of people, and even the soldiers below will also change their guards with other border towns. The Cai family took advantage of the situation to occupy a few positions, which was just an ordinary thing. The Ma family and the Min family should have the same plan, but they go to different places. Liaodong is so big. ”

Cai Shengnan came from Shuozhou, and although he is quite familiar with the people of the Cai family, he has not been together for a long time, and many things are not something that can be heard casually. Therefore, although she is the daughter of the Cai family and is well-informed, she may not be as good as Qin Ping, who was on an errand under the Marquis of Yunyang. Four of the people in the clan will be transferred to Liaodong, she doesn't know, but she has heard of the one who was transferred first. According to the generation, although she is older, she has to call her a little aunt.

She asked Qin Ping: "Yunyang Hou has transferred so many people, there will be a lot of vacant positions in the city guard, right?" After a pause, she lowered her voice, "Will they all be cheaper than the Chu family?"

Qin Ping smiled: "It's inevitable that Commander Chu will occupy a few positions." But there are not many people in the Chu family who can get their hands on it, and they may not be able to occupy it all if they want to. If the people who are not qualified to sit on it reluctantly rely on the knot to curry favor with the Chu family to sit up, and the Marquis of Yunyang is still in the position of the great commander, how can he turn a blind eye? There should be people from the Ma family and the Min family to make up for it, and it will not really make the Chu family take sole power in the city guards. ”

Of course, Chu Zhengfang may not have realized the true intentions of Yunyang Hou, right? He was only happy for the position that the latter gave up, and he might also misunderstand that Yunyang Hou chose to retreat because of the face of the crown princess, so that the children of the family would withdraw from the city guard. He thought that their Chu family had taken advantage, but who really benefited...... After two or three years, it will be clear.

The position of city guard can be removed and replaced at any time by the royal family, and he may be very stable and can have real power, but in terms of stability and prestige, where can he compare with a person who has really come out of the border town with a real sword and a real gun and a foothold based on military merits? Chu Zhengfang may have been blinded by the vanity of his relative's status, and he has forgotten what it is that as a military attaché, he can really rely on to gain a firm foothold in the army and the DPRK.

Qin Ping lowered his eyes, put the tea bowl in his hand aside, and quietly started this belated dinner.

After eating cold noodles, he took a sip of tea and looked up to see his wife sitting across the table, silent. Recalling the topic between Fang Cai and his wife, he smiled slightly: "What's the matter? But I'm worried about your brother's business? Now that he has been officially transferred to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he shouldn't be transferred to Liaodong or Shuozhou in a short period of time." You can rest assured. ”

Cai Shengnan looked up and smiled, "I'm not worried about this. If there is a real need, whether it is Shuozhou or Liaodong, my brother will go, and the family will accept it no matter how reluctant they are. This is the duty of the children of the Cai family. Besides, even if my brother returned to the border town to garrison, he would be much more relieved to know that his mother and younger brother were doing well in the capital. My mother's life is much better now than it used to be. Who brought this, we all count, and we are grateful. We will not run away from what we should do. ”

Qin Ping's expression was gentle: "The Cai family's family style is really worthy of its reputation. He added, "I was originally from the Yulin border army, and I originally thought that if necessary, it would be good to go back to Yulin to guard for a few years." If Liaodong needs me more, I don't matter. But the emperor didn't plan to transfer me out of the capital, only let me stay in the city guard with peace of mind. He was a little helpless, "Since the emperor trusts me so much, I can only do my duty." ”

Cai Shengnan's heart was stunned, secretly thinking that Liaodong would really make a big move, maybe it was really going to war with Beirong! Beirong has been honest for more than 30 years, in fact, he has been harassing the border towns a lot, but every year it is just a small fight, grab a lot of money and food and leave. After so many years, they probably can't bear it, right? When she was in Shuozhou, she listened to her brother and the military attache of her acquaintance discussing in private, and felt that there might be a few big battles, but she didn't know when she would be able to fight. Now that I think about it, it is estimated that there is the greatest possibility of a war in Liaodong, and other border towns may also start a war.

Her brother had just entered the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was estimated that he would not be transferred back to the border army for a while. Now that her husband Qin Ping has been instructed by the emperor to stay in the city guards, it is estimated that the royal family wants to keep a few more trustworthy military attachés in the city guards while the Cai family reduces the number of children stationed in the city guards, right? She should not have anything to do with the war in the border towns, but whether it is the Cai family, relatives, friends and acquaintances in Shuozhou, she can still help a little......

Cai Shengnan looked at her husband and hesitated: "Lord Shizi, if I want to ...... Send some food, medicinal herbs or cloth to relatives and friends in Shuozhou...... Will it cause you trouble?"

Qin Ping was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his wife still sensed what he meant? This was a surprise, I didn't expect his wife to be so smart. He smiled and said: "As long as you don't make too much of it, Shuozhou is not as rich as the capital, and it is inevitable that there will be times when things are lacking." You are just giving some gifts to your relatives and friends, who can control it? Except for things that are taboo, you can give anything, and those who benefit in the end are all people from the court. ”

When Cai Shengnan heard this, he knew that Qin Ping understood what she meant, pursed his lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, nodded and said, "I know, I'll be careful." Suddenly, he remembered another thing, and hurriedly added, "I won't use the money in the public school, and I still have some private houses." ”

Qin Ping disagreed: "Why use your private house? This is a good thing, if you refuse to touch the money in the public, you can just use the money I gave you before." You and I don't have to be so clear. The things are sent out, you leave an account for me, and when necessary, I will report to the palace. When the time comes, if the emperor is happy and rewards us something, our faces will also shine. ”

Cai Shengnan responded softly, and his heart was stable.

With Qin Ping's permission, Cai Shengnan also has confidence. However, she did not rush to Shuozhou to send things first, but first discussed with Mrs. Yunyang Hou, Mrs. Cai San and other sisters-in-law, to see where the Cai family needs more material support, and which materials are the most scarce, and then try to deal with it.

On the other hand, she didn't forget what she had discussed with the concubines before, and several people tried to find a way to explain Xiao Xue's family, so that the latter would stop thinking nonsense and have an impact on Qin Jinchun's marriage.

Yao's is pulling Xiao Xue's to show off his daughter's dowry list, and Min's is providing a reference list of various things that need to be purchased by the army's daughters- This obviously failed to appease Xiao Xue's family, but made her more worried; Xiao Feng's family pulled her daughter Qin Hanzhu to Qin Jinchun as a companion, and asked this cousin for homework, using the child's affairs to attract Xiao Xue's attention; when it came to Cai Shengnan, she took out Qin Hanzhen's dowry list again and gave it to Xiao Xue's reference, but not just to show off, but seriously discussed the choice of various dowry items with the other party, and also sent a large booklet of festive embroidery patterns.

Xiao Xue has so many decisions to make, so many things to do, even if he is still worried about the safety of his future son-in-law, he can't take care of it for a while.

When the Xue family came to the door again and mentioned the previous "business", Xiao Xue said: "The long room and the third room didn't say that they heard the news, but I was afraid that my uncle would misunderstand." Liaodong didn't want to fight, so the business naturally couldn't start. You'd better look for another business. I'm too busy just being busy with Sister Chun's dowry now. ”

The uncle of the Xue family laughed dryly: "Sister Chun is going to get married? Anyway, it is also the child we watched grow up, and our Xue family can also contribute to Sister Chun's marriage......"

Xiao Xue paused and looked at his uncle. This traditional cooperation model between the second room of the Qin family and the Xue family sounds familiar, but it is a little unfamiliar. After the mother's family fell out with the second room of the Qin family, no one said that anymore, right?

She sighed, "No need. I thanked my uncle for his kindness, but our family still has some family resources, so we don't even have to be funded by others for our daughter's dowry. She really can't give her mother's family any benefits, so why should she eat people's short mouths? When she took her mother's money and refused her mother's family's excessive demands, she had no confidence to speak. And when she heard her husband scolding her parents, she had no confidence to refute it. She really didn't want to taste this taste again.

"What are you polite to your own relatives?" the uncle of the Xue family said with a smile, "Uncle was confused and said something unpleasant before, don't take it to heart to your niece." We are a family, blood is thicker than water, where is the overnight feud? Over the years, you have not had an easy time at your mother-in-law's house, right? Without the support of your mother's family, there must be something missing, and the niece and son-in-law's temper is irritable. Don't worry, our family has discussed it now, and we won't make the same mistake again in the future......! You can have an easier life, our Xue family...... It's also a little more reassuring. ”

Xiao Xue frowned: "Uncle, is the Xue family ...... Are you in trouble now?"
