Chapter 40: Blasphemy

After Qin Keyong took Xiao Huang away, Qin Hanzhen returned to Yongjiahou Mansion on his own.

Due to the two accidents of Erfang and Xiao Huang's family one after another, Qin Jian failed to complete the letter to Zhao Mo in time, and Qin Hanzhen didn't wait for him, and directly asked Zhao Mo's people to set off and return. Anyway, in a few days, Zhao Mo should still have a letter, Qin Jian wants to say something to him, and when the time comes, it will be the same to send the letter over.

However, the scene between Xiao Huang's family and the second room surprised Qin Hanzhen, as soon as she got home, she immediately reported everything she knew to her grandfather and grandmother.

Qin Bai frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Niu said: "This can be regarded as karma." Ke used his daughter-in-law to be blinded by lard back then, and she had to send her niece and nephew to the palace to be her mother, but she ended up with such a result, and now she regrets it, what is the use? Her old son is still dead, her brother and sister-in-law and nephew are still missing, and now they have been expelled from the clan, and they don't know what will happen in the future. It can be seen that being a man cannot be too greedy, and he always thinks about things that do not belong to him, and there will be no good results. ”

Qin Hanzhen folded the letter that Qin Keyong brought in his hand, and said, "Aunt Keyong is probably also at a dead end, right? Before the sixth master Huang died, he was probably too disappointed in his children and grandchildren, and wanted to drive them out of the house, and then succeeded his heirs and grandchildren, and ordered his heirs and grandchildren to inherit the family property. Aunt Keyong is now a bamboo basket to draw water, and our Qin family saw that she was rejected by her mother's family, and there were some discussions, and many people persuaded the patriarch to divorce his wife for Uncle Keyong, otherwise people would know that the clan had a daughter-in-law who was removed from her mother's clan, and her face was dull. ”

Niu Shi was suddenly surprised: "How come? You have more than one child born to Uncle Keyong, even if it is for the sake of the child, it is not good to mention the matter of divorce from the wife, otherwise what will happen to the children? They have grown up so big, and the boy is also studying in the clan, I heard that he reads well, so it would be a pity to abolish it like this." It's a big deal to ask your aunt to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha at home, and not let her show up to meet people, that's it. ”

Qin Bai looked at his granddaughter: "When Ke Yongfang came to ask for peace, although he left in a hurry, he didn't mention such a major event as divorce from his wife, this is mentioned in Qingxing's letter to you?" He knew that Qin Hanzhen and Qingxing exchanged letters several times a year, and some news that he couldn't know from Wu Shaoying, He Xin, clansmen, etc., Qin Hanzhen could know from Qingxing, so he asked this question.

Qin Hanzhen nodded: "I read the letter hastily, Qing Xing said the discussion in the clan in the letter, and also said that the annoying second girl Shen back then, when this kind of discussion was born a few days ago, she went to visit relatives in the clan again." Although the patriarch's wife annoyed her, she was thicker than before, and she wrapped around the patriarch's wife to courteous her. Some people privately discussed, saying that she was eyeing Uncle Keyong's stepwife's position and wanted to squeeze Aunt Keyong away and replace her herself. She pouted and smiled, "If it's true, then her wishful thinking is quite loud, it seems that she really can't get married, I think Uncle Keyong is close to our family, and he is rich, and his cousin and cousin are also easy to operate, and there was a scandal a few years ago, so he rushed to get entangled." ”

Qin Bai said helplessly to his granddaughter: "Don't talk like this. If it were in front of me and your grandmother, it would be a joke in front of others. He doesn't know when his granddaughter started to develop this bad habit of talking in the vernacular without scruples, although he can't say that there is something wrong, it is not everyone's girlfriend's doing, so he can't help but admonish every time.

Qin Hanzhen laughed it off, and only said: "Grandfather, you have to tell the sect over there, no matter how confused and unreliable Aunt Ke Yong is, you can't ask Uncle Ke Yong to marry that Shen Er girl." She's not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"It's nature. Niu interjected, "What does it look like if you have an aunt who is still alive, and divorce your wife and marry another person for no reason? At this time, the husband and wife should share weal and woe, and if something happens to one party's mother's family, the other party will abandon his wife and children, wouldn't that be ruthless and unrighteous? If you really do something rebellious to your aunt, that's it, but she just did stupid things, and now the second room has been harmed, and she has already received retribution, so why bother to fall into the well? Besides, that Shen Er girl has a bad reputation, it's better to marry her and keep your Aunt Keyong, but your Aunt Keyong is a descendant, when she pretended to be virtuous in the past, she could speak and act well, just like this Shen Er girl, she couldn't even pretend to be virtuous!"

Qin Hanzhen chuckled a few times, and then went to look at Qin Bai again.

Qin Bai nodded: "Your grandmother is right." Zongfang has an unvirtuous daughter-in-law, who has already damaged his reputation, and he can't add another one to attract criticism. If Keyong really wants to remarry in the future, he will choose another virtuous woman from a pure white family as his wife, and he does not have to be close to each other. I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be confused by my mother's brother, and she would be soft-hearted for a while, and she should do something she shouldn't do. I will write a letter and order someone to send it to Jiang Ning urgently, urging my cousin to be cautious. ”

This is not unfounded. He was not hinting that Qin Keyong should divorce his wife, but felt that the Xiao Huang family in everyone's mouth was already sick and broken, and now he was almost crazy, and he couldn't afford to be sick at some point, and Qin Keyong still had to think about continuing the string at that time. The second girl Shen is the niece of the patriarch's wife, and now she has also moved to the sect house. For the sake of the stability of the clan and the future of the family, it is better for the Qin family not to marry this girl and enter the door as a daughter-in-law.

Qin Hanzhen was very confident in his grandfather's prestige in the clan, knowing that as soon as he said this, when he wrote a letter to Jiangning, the matter would be a foregone conclusion. The patriarch and his wife would not ignore his opinion and forcibly marry Shen Er Girl into the door as a daughter-in-law, not to mention that they didn't have a good impression of her.

For the housework of the sect, it is good to discuss a few words in private in the six-room and the three-room, but there is no need to take it too seriously. Qin Hanzhen told his grandmother Niu a few more jokes that came out in the second room, and commented that Qin Jinyi's foot injury was not good, so he threw it away. But at noon on the second day, Qin Keyong came to visit Qin Bai, and listening to what he meant, it seemed that he had something serious to discuss with Qin Bai. Qin Bai led him to the study, and he didn't know what to say, until the sun was about to set, and Qin Ke said goodbye and left.

Qin Bai went back to the main courtyard for dinner, and while waiting, Niu asked him: "Keyong came to you today, but what's the matter? I see that he didn't even tell us, is there anything we can't hear?"

Qin Bai said helplessly: "There is nothing unpleasant, it's just that he took his brother-in-law's family back to the city." Now the man was placed on the side of his firm, and he was able-bodied and alive, and he did not starve them in the second room, nor did he lock them up and torture them. Keyong's daughter-in-law cried a lot, and told her brother, sister-in-law and nephew about the changes in the family. However, those principals didn't seem to be very concerned, although they also cried, they were not in a hurry to go back to the south to go to the funeral, but tirelessly asked Keyong and his wife, whether Huang Yiqiu really had no hope of entering the palace as a concubine? Huang Da seemed to feel that since the emperor did not release Huang Yiqiu, he must still have nostalgia for her, so he refused to die and be a relative of the emperor. ”

Qin Hanzhen was surprised: "Wouldn't it? Huang Yiqiu has been locked up in Nianhui Nunnery for a few years to read the scriptures, and the emperor has ignored her, where does the Huang family have the confidence to think that their daughter has the ability to attract the emperor?"

Niu Shi snorted: "I have never seen such a cheeky person, they have come to this point, even the people in the second room admit that they are coaxing them, they still refuse to give up, thinking that their daughter can be a concubine? The sister of the Huang family couldn't let the emperor take a few more looks when she was young and beautiful, and now she is getting older and older year by year, and she still dares to daydream? It is disgusting to keep such a person, the emperor simply let her out and ask their family to go back to their hometown, which also saves them from thinking nonsense all day long, and tightly restraining the couple and causing trouble for our Qin family. ”

Qin Bai shook his head and said, "Impossible, since people have entered Nianhui Nunnery, it is impossible to go out again." ”

Qin Hanzhen asked in surprise: "What does grandfather mean by this? Could it be that Huang Yiqiu really wants to be a nun in Nianhui Nunnery for the rest of her life?" Although she also hated Huang Yiqiu, she saw that the other party was coaxed into the nunnery, burying her life's youth and freedom, and felt that the other party was a little pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

Qin Bai said: "The Huang family's behavior is indeed annoying, but this is not the real reason why the emperor dislikes Huang Yiqiu. There are more people in the world who want to be able to climb the dragon and attach the wind, and their appearance is a little like the queen's mother, and it is not one person or two. But Huang Yiqiu's biggest mistake is that she listened to the mercy of the second room, not only made her makeup look as much like the queen's mother, but also brought the clothes and accessories specially prepared for her by the second room, which were similar to the clothes and jewelry commonly used by the queen mother when she was young, and imitated the mother in her gestures, words and demeanors, for fear that there would be a trace of unkindness. She thought that this was a means to invite favor, but she didn't know that the emperor knew her carefully, and seeing her so pretentious, she felt that she had blasphemed the queen's mother. To allow her to live in the world and pray for her mother is already on the part of her who has not done evil. How could she be let out for outsiders to see, or even to marry someone else?"

What is the difference between that and watching the empress being married by another man? Even if the emperor knew that they were two completely different people, he would not tolerate it. The more Huang Yiqiu resembles Empress Qin, the less likely it is to leave Nianhui Nunnery. The emperor refused to accept her, but he would not let her be touched by others, and would rather she be trapped in the nunnery to death. This is a man's idea, and the kind of man's psychology that Uncle Huang said is completely different.

No matter how pitiful Huang Yiqiu is, what's the use? She shouldn't, she shouldn't, she shouldn't provoke the king of a country. She thought that she could ascend to the sky with the appearance of Empress Xiao like Qin, but she didn't understand that the emperor loved the queen, not just because of a face. She thought wrong about the emperor and overestimated herself. If you make one wrong step, there's no turning back.
