Although Qin Hanzhen's words were a bit exaggerated, and it was obvious that he was flattering his aunt and uncle, Qin Youzhen still believed it.

Whether it is exaggerated or not, the truth is right.

In the next few days, she took her husband and children to visit the Xu family and the Huang family. Although she is the daughter of the second room, she has been raised in the long house since she was a child, and she lives and sits with her younger siblings in the long room, reading and joking, so the relatives of the long house are no different from her relatives. Although she has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, she lied in front of the elders of the Xu and Huang families, and her mouth was sweeter, and she quickly brought the relationship between the two sides closer. Taking the opportunity, she introduced her husband and children to the cousins, nephews and nieces of the Xu and Huang families, which opened up new contacts for them.

Lu Pu and his three sons and daughters are very good in appearance and temperament, and their communication skills are also good, and they soon formed a friendship with the Xu and Huang families.

After Mr. Xu talked to Lu Pu, he felt that he had done official positions such as the magistrate, the magistrate, and the prefect in the locality, and he was experienced in the law and punishment, and he was also stable. The children of the Xu family have served in the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for generations, and they are famous criminal law masters in this dynasty.

Lu Pu hesitated in his heart, but he still thanked Master Xu gratefully, but he didn't give a word of approval, only said that he would discuss it with his family and consider it seriously. Master Xu knew that Qin Youzhen had always respected his sister Xu very much, and thought that the couple was going back to Chengenhou Mansion to discuss with Xu, so he didn't think it was wrong, and generously let them go.

Who knew that after leaving the Xu family, Lu Pu said to Qin Youzhen: "The position of the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple is good, but my strength is in local government affairs, not in criminal names." If you can continue to serve as a local official and accumulate experience as a political party, it is better than staying in Dali Temple. ”

Qin Youzhen was originally quite excited, but when she heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "People in the world love to be Beijing officials, why do you prefer to go to the local area? After all these years of hard life, do you still feel that it is insufficient? Besides, Dali Temple is also a good place, and you will be in the position of Right Shaoqing for a few years, and you will find another foreign appointment in the future, that is." We were worried that my master's career would be affected by my mother's family, but now that the uncle of the Xu family is willing to sponsor him, what else does the master want to do?"

Lu Pu smiled bitterly: "The Xu family's sponsorship is not a certainty, let's explore the Huang family's meaning." If they refuse to raise their noble hands, even if they are sponsored by the Xu family, it will be a bamboo basket for nothing. Don't be happy, ma'am. ”

Qin Youzhen suddenly fell silent.

Fortunately, the next day's trip to the Huang family was also very smooth. Although the relationship between the Huang family and the Qin family's room is lighter, Qin Youzhen has also been here a few times when she was a child, and several elders still remember her, her attitude is still gentle and loving, and she also appreciates Lupu, and several juniors get along well with the children of the younger generation of the Huang family. Huang Jincheng's mother, Mrs. Huang San, was full of praise for Lu Yueniang, and pulled Lu Yueniang and refused to let go.

Qin Youzhen knew that Huang Jincheng also had a younger brother, who was also a descendant, and this year it is estimated that he is eighteen or nine years old, and he is taking the path of studying for the imperial examination, and he has already made a name for himself, but he has not yet decided on a marriage. Mrs. Huang San doesn't know what to think about the selection of her future daughter-in-law, seeing a young girl with both good looks, the same age, and a likable personality, there are some more looks, but her daughter Yue Niang will never marry Mrs. Huang San's young son, because the generation is wrong.

She and Huang Jincheng's brothers are called cousins, how can her daughter marry a "cousin"?

Therefore, Qin Youzhen also generously accepted Mrs. Huang's praise for her daughter, and in turn praised the unmarried girls of the Huang family, frank and unselfish. Her attitude made the Huang family's ladies look up to her.

Probably because now that the prince's position is stable, the Huang family has also risen with the tide. Unlike the Qin family, which is a serious uncle's family, with the name of "foreign relative", and has to avoid suspicion, the blood relationship between the Huang family and the prince is separated by two layers, but it is more convenient to act, and the authority in his hands is getting bigger and bigger. However, due to the style of the door, the Huang family acted very cautiously, and there was no complacent or negligent duty, so it was particularly valued by the emperor and the prince. Officials, nobles, and even royal relatives of the clan and the opposition, seeing that the Huang family is in power, are all interested in getting close to his family, among which marriage is the most commonly used trick. But all the unmarried children of the Huang family have been targeted, and the best ones have become good fat in the eyes of everyone, and everyone wants to bite when they see it. Like the husband and wife of the Lu family, it is clear that the children are very good, and they have also been praised by the daughters of the Huang family, but they still remember that a generation without blood and refuse to cling to the heart is a rare integrity. Since it is an upright family, it is naturally worth making friends with the Huang family.

Qin Youzhen noticed that the attitude of the Huang family's ladies had softened, so she took advantage of the situation to knock on the side of the second room. Mrs. Huang San immediately understood what she meant, and she didn't go around the bend with her, and said with a smile: "They are all relatives, where is there any overnight feud?" It's just that Ling Tang and Brother Ling have acted too much in the past few years, and after the separation, they have no constraints, as if they have no rules. In the long run, I am afraid that his family will break into a catastrophe. Our Huang family and the Qin family are also in-laws, so how can we bear to see our in-laws being affected by the people of the Xiao clan? That's why we took the opportunity to beat up. I just hope that Ling Tang and Brother Ling can eat a trench, grow wise, and don't make any more mistakes. This matter has nothing to do with your husband and wife, and the water spilled by the married daughter, you are a filial child, but you don't have to worry too much about them. They are all relatives, will we still kill them all?"

Qin Youzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and now Lu Pu was able to get out of this trouble. As for the second room of the mother's family, it is estimated that it is the result of the brother-in-law's resignation and the loss of wealth of the Xue family. The Huang family has no intention of killing them all, but they also clearly want to teach the second room a painful lesson, and they will not let it go easily. Although Qin Youzhen was also a little worried about her mother's family, her husband's children and the Qin family's house were more important to her, so she was not as worried as before.

Back at the Fugui Residence of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, Qin Youzhen privately told her husband Lu Pu what Mrs. Huang San said, and said: "With the words of the Huang family, the master can rest assured that he will accept the sponsorship of the uncle of the Xu family." The position of the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple is rare, and the lord must not refuse. A few of the children are also old, so we will stay in Beijing for a few years, set a good marriage for the children, and then talk about the extraneous thing. In fact, with the master's background and qualifications, with the previous more than ten years of external experience, it is enough to want to join the cabinet in the future, but there is no need to be obsessed with serving in the local government. ”

Lu Pu shook his head and said, "I don't dare to think about entering the cabinet, and now I don't have that ability." As a local official, I can do more. It's good to stay in Beijing, but in the end it's more restrictive. I'd rather suffer a little in the local area, but I also want to really do something for the people. ”

Then he persuaded his wife: "Madame, don't always worry about the position of the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple." I listened to Zhonghai's gossip yesterday, and he seems to be expected to be promoted to the left temple of Dali Temple. Although it is the official position of Zheng Wupin, it does not conflict with the right Shaoqing, but he also needs the sponsorship of the Xu family. How many people can the Xu family recommend? If they recommend Zhonghai, how can they recommend me again? Dali Temple is not opened by the Xu family. There is no reason for the uncle of the Xu family to leave his nephew alone, but he came to fulfill me, the nephew and son-in-law of the four outer roads. Therefore, although he said that he wanted to sponsor, you and I don't have to be too serious. Since the Huang family has no intention of being angry with me, then what should have been done, we will continue to do it, and we don't have to change it because of anyone's words, and we don't have to feel that we have suffered a loss. ”

Qin Youzhen was a little stunned: "I didn't know that the second brother was going to be promoted, and he also needed the Xu family's recommendation......" She sighed, but she didn't dwell on it for long. She never thought that if she wanted her cousin to make way for her husband, it would be impossible, just having such thoughts was disrespectful to her aunt Xu.

She quickly cleaned up her mood and mentioned other official positions instead: "I overheard someone say that Shuntian Mansion seems to be about to die, and I don't know when it will be vacant. If you can catch up, it's good for the master to try to fight. This is also a pro-people official, and if he can contribute to the people, wouldn't it be better to be in the capital?"

Loop laughed dumbly. Where are the officials of the Shuntian Mansion who are easy to do? There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and behind the three sects and nine streams, there may be a big man who is hiding, and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion must be very angry. Instead of staying in Shuntianfu, it is better to pick a shortage from other provinces, even if it is a remote place, and earn it first. As long as he can achieve the three products locally, when he wants to enter Beijing in the future, with a little operation, it is easy to climb to the position of Xiao Jiuqing, and Da Jiuqing is not impossible to fight. Isn't that better than being an angry second official in Shuntian Mansion?

However, Lu Pu also knew in his heart that his wife missed her mother's home and hoped to live in the capital for a few more days, and it was best to solve the marriage of her children in Beijing. At this time, saying what he would prefer to continue to release will only make her feel sad. She never refused to force him, so she could only be depressed by herself.

Lu Pu softly persuaded his wife Qin Youzhen: "The matter of Shuntian Mansion has not yet been shadowed, and my official position will be decided before and after the New Year." Rather than Xiao thinking about the shadowless thing, it is better to pick a suitable one from the currently vacant official positions. ”

Qin Youzhen smiled when she heard this, and said softly: "What the master said is true, I really think too much. "I really discussed with Lupu about a new official position.

Lupu's new official position has not yet been decided, and Qin Youzhen is discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each shortage with her husband, while remembering her experience in the Huang family today. Although the Huang family will not be angry with the Lu family, she can also hear the Huang family's contempt for the Xue family and Qin Bofu's mother and son from the tone of Mrs. Huang's third wife. Qin Youzhen sighed secretly in her heart, feeling that she really needed to persuade her mother and brother to stop making mistakes. Since my grandmother can't listen to her, my brother can always think of a way.

Otherwise, even this time, their husband and wife will not be affected by her mother's family, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no real accidents in the future. She didn't want to be scared again.
