The Niu family took his grandson Zi'er back to the room to settle down, and Qin Bai called the student Wu Shaoying to the study, ready to ask about the situation in the past few days, and Qin Hanzhen followed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Whether it was Zhao Mo or the elders, they refused to confess to her, what happened and what they were going to do, Qin Hanzhen couldn't keep asking. However, in order to let her grandfather Qin Bai not miss any piece of information, she still told everything she knew, even if it seemed to be useless news, she just hoped that it would help Qin Bai. Wu Shaoying sat quietly aside, and occasionally heard that she had something missing, and would add two sentences.

After Qin Hanzhen finished speaking, he looked at his grandfather Qin Bai, and then at his cousin Wu Shaoying, and saw that they didn't seem to have the meaning of speaking, and he was secretly a little disappointed in his heart, but he still stood up simply: "This is all the information I know." Grandfather, discuss with your cousin, I'll step down first, and if you need to ask anything, you can call me at any time. ”

Qin Bai looked at his granddaughter with a smile: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work." You did very well. Go, your grandmother is still waiting for you. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and went in response.

Wu Shaoying looked at Qin Bai with a smile: "Sister Sang really wants to know what's going on, but seeing that we don't want to say, she is embarrassed to ask, she must be very disappointed in her heart, right? ”

Qin Bai smiled: "It's okay if we don't talk about this time, Heng Zhu Guanglu will still tell her afterwards." By that time, everything will be clear, and it will be clearer to say. Now it is still in the clouds, and we may not know the truth based on speculation alone, and it is useless to say it. He looked at Wu Shaoying, "Is there a letter from the other side of Guanglu?"

"Every day. Wu Shaoying replied, "It was passed from Qin Jian's little servant in the long room." Maybe it's because I'm worried that this little guy is not a confidant, and the news is just a bit of a family affair, just to let us know that he is safe and sound. As for the inside story, we don't know. I see that Guanglu seems to be confident, and it is not easy to ask more questions, and I dare not act rashly, looking for someone to help him, so as not to hinder his affairs. ”

Qin Bai sighed: "This kid is thoughtful, and he always likes to rely on himself to do things. If he hadn't written to me at his insistence, I'm afraid he wouldn't have wanted me to know about it. ”

Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "Young man, it is inevitable to be more angry, besides, he is smart since he was a child, and there are people under him." He thought he could handle it, so he didn't want to alarm his elders. I thought that when I was a kid, I would know how stupid it was when I got a few years older and calmer. When you encounter difficulties, it is not a shame to turn to your elders for help. As long as things can be done smoothly and there are no future troubles, what method can't be used? In case because he is too conceited, he thinks too highly of himself, and thinks that he can solve difficult things on his own, but in fact he can't, and in the end he can solve things smoothly, but he fails to get a good result, isn't it thankless? Guanglu is still too young now, and after a few years, he should know how rash he is. ”

Qin Bai shook his head slightly: "He's not rash, he's just heavy-minded." If you can solve it yourself, you don't want to rely on others. In the end, it was his father's sin that broke the child's heart. ”

Wu Shaoying was stunned and fell silent.

Qin Bai asked him again: "How did you do what I told in the letter before?

Wu Shaoying came to her senses and hurriedly replied: "Yes, the second grandmother of Changfang thought of going to the Wang family to inquire, and the step-concubine of the King of Liao did visit the Wang family with her two sons. Zhao Li is seventeen years old this year, and originally had a marriage contract with Chen Liangdi's sister. Chen Liangdi's sister died of illness the year before last, and this marriage contract was over, so the step-concubine of the King of Liao wanted to hire another famous lady for him. She should take a fancy to Wang Shangshu's eldest granddaughter, the one that Sister Sang mentioned earlier, the one that the Liao Wang's family met by chance in the suburbs of Beijing. However, the Wang family said that the generations were incompatible and violated etiquette, and politely rejected the suggestion of the step-concubine of the Liao king, but did not say it to death. He paused, "The Wang family hinted to the step-concubine of the Liao King that among the younger sisters of the little Wang family, there is also a concubine's daughter. Although the status is a little low, if the prince of Liao wants to officially accept the side concubine in the future, the young lady from the Wang family is also worthy of it. ”

This kind of thing, Wu Shaoying, an outsider, also feels that it is delicate, let alone the person concerned. It's a shame that the Wang family could think of it, and it's also a shame that the step-concubine of the King of Liao would have such a ridiculous idea. Knowing that the eldest son of the King of Liao had already married the daughter of the Wang family, how could he want his son to marry the niece of the eldest daughter-in-law? And the Wang family's actions were also very inappropriate, and they refused to marry, and the reason for this refusal was above board, and how could they leave a hint to replace the nephew with an aunt? If the Wang family made this kind of suggestion, was it optimistic that Zhao Shuo would enter the East Palace, or would they not be optimistic about him? If they were optimistic about Zhao Shuo, why should they go to the extra mile to marry the son of the step-concubine of the King of Liao, who had an old grudge against him? If they were not optimistic about Zhao Shuo, then how could they even give up the position of the prince of Liao to Zhao Li? They didn't think about fighting for their son-in-law? That is also a good way out, besides, Zhao Shuo was originally the eldest son, and it is natural to inherit the position of the son.

Qin Bai lowered his head and smiled: "The Wang family has done this kind of thing easily. Could it be that even they can see that Zhao Shuo's momentum is not good?"

It is not difficult to deduce from the Wang family's thoughts, if they find that Zhao Shuo's chances of victory are not good, then they should think of starting anew, right? There are so many children of the clan, and there are many young and outstanding unmarried matches, so it is enough to pick a daughter to marry. Since they can even look at Zhao Li's position in the side room, and are willing to allow him as a concubine, then the objects they can choose from will naturally increase greatly.

Wu Shaoying said to Qin Bai: "The step-concubine of the King of Liao doesn't seem to agree, as if she has already identified Miss Sun of the Wang family. The second grandmother of the long house said that the gossip between the sisters was that it should be the second son of the Liao Wangfu who fell in love with the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family, fell in love with her at first sight, and insisted on marrying this beautiful woman, but others looked down on her. If he hadn't only recognized this one person, the step-concubine of the King of Liao would probably not have hired another Wang daughter for her son. ”

Qin Bai frowned: "Isn't this a farce? How can the King of Liao indulge his parents and children like this? Act as he pleases, but he doesn't even care about ethics and etiquette?"

Wu Shaoying smiled: "It's probably used to being domineering in Liaodong, and you can act generally if you are in the capital." He showed a bit of mockery on his face, "But for the Wang family, they are probably embarrassed to meet such a person, right? How can this be good? Will this marriage be agreed or not?"

Qin Bai asked Wu Shaoying: "What about the Shu Wangfu?" It stands to reason that with the habits of the Wang family, not only did they have a gap with Zhao Shuo, but also saw that he was losing power, and the young son of the King of Shu was thriving, so there was no reason why they would let go of this good opportunity for marriage. Aren't the Shu Kings and their wives about to look at the famous ladies for their young son?"

Wu Shaoying replied: "That's a good thing. Mrs. Chengenhou of Changfang said that the princess of Shu had mentioned it without going into details, and the general meaning was that when she first returned to Beijing, she had seen the daughters of the Wang family, and the other party asked tentatively, the young son of the king of Shu was precious, and the princess planned to marry a wife for the young son, and then accept a side room? Mrs. Chengenhou and Grandma Qin both deduced that the Wang family had no more concubines to match the young son of the King of Shu, and the granddaughters were not right, so they planned to use the concubines to allow them, even if they got a side room. If the youngest son of the King of Shu can really enter the East Palace, the position of the side concubine of the East Palace is also quite decent. It's a pity that the princess of Shu is now concentrating on choosing a famous daughter for her young son, so as to fight for him to help him more, how can she please the future in-laws at this time for no reason? Even if the young son of the king of Shu really wants to accept the side, it will be a few years later. ”

Qin Bai sighed: "Why is the Wang family like this? ”

Starting from the prince of Jin, to the eldest son of King Liao, the youngest son of King Shu, and the second son of King Liao, the Wang family has used their daughters to marry again and again, specifically looking for a son-in-law of the clan, in order to one day have a queen in the family. But there are some things that cannot be done again and again. The Wang family's actions are so obvious, the Wang family's daughter is no longer a help, but has become a joke. Now that the Manchu Dynasty has heard that the Wang family has promised their daughter to which clan, who would not have guessed what their purpose was? The emperor was not blind, and marrying the daughter of the Wang family meant that he had ambitions for the throne -- it was simply a clear target!

Wu Shaoying thought about it carefully, but he had a funny guess: "Even if the Wang family has a suitable concubine, there are few people, right? If you want to make a side room for the young son of the King of Shu, and also allow the second son of the King of Liao to be a side room, where can you be busy? Since the Wang family is not optimistic about the eldest son of the King of Liao, how can they still be willing to marry their daughter to his brother? Just for the title of the side concubine of the prince of Liao? But the family of the King of Liao has always been a mediocre saint, and the Wang family is willing to do such a loss-making business, is it not that the Liao Wangfu still wants the second son to fight for the position of the East Palace? If this is the case, this Zhao Li's identity is no worse than the young son of the King of Shu, no wonder he is qualified to accept the daughter of the Wang family as a side concubine. ”

If the Liao Wang couple really meant this, it was no wonder that they suddenly became hostile to their eldest son, Zhao Shuo, and planned to knock him into the dust. There is no other reason than to hit the competition.

But...... Isn't this kind of thinking too absurd? The Liao Wang's family members are mediocre, and they have no outstanding merits, and their relationship with the royal family is even colder. Zhao Shuo can do things with his heart, please the emperor, and have the Wang family to help him, open up contacts for him, accumulate meritorious deeds, Zhao Li can? Suddenly he came and said that he wanted to compete for the storage position, but he couldn't help but see things too simply. The young son of the King of Shu still has the queen mother's internal aid, and the foreign Tu family is also a famous family in Beijing.

Qin Bai shook his head and sighed: "In the battle for the heir back then, how many Tianhuang nobles seemed to be dizzy, and they fought for that chair. Now that it's only been 30 years, is a new battle for succession about to begin?"

It's just that this time, there are not many princes involved, but many of the close branch clans have been involved. How many close clans are there in this dynasty? The number of princes is several times higher than the number of princes thirty years ago. If everyone is eyeing the slot, there is no telling how many people will lose their lives before the winner wins.

Thinking of that situation, even Qin Bai, an old man who had gone through all the weather, couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
