Chapter 44: Consult

Qin Youzhen came to the third room to sit idly, and the Niu family was very happy. She also likes her husband's niece and daughter, and often feels that it is really unfair for her to have a mother-in-law like Xue's family and a brother-in-law like Qin Bofu.

Qin Youzhen actually likes to get along with the aunt of the Niu family. She has been a local official with her husband for many years, what kind of woman has she never met? It is not that she has never dealt with a village woman who is really vulgar and unknowledgeable. Niu's is much better than that kind of person, isn't it just that he can read less books, so he is not good at learning? But the Niu family and Qin Bai have been husband and wife for decades, and they have been exposed to some literary temperament, which is not the same as a real village woman.

Qin Youzhen has come into contact with the families of civil officials who have written chapters and use dictionaries for every word, and has also seen the wives of military attaches who are rude and impolite, but she feels that Niu has a frank temperament, does not like to talk around the bend, and is polite, and is a good elder who understands things. She was now anxious to inquire about the news, where could she be impatient to beat around the bush like the usual behavior of the noblewomen in Beijing?

As soon as she asked about the Xue family's teaching of the Huang family's daughter to imitate Empress Qin, which was mentioned in Qin Jinchun's words, the Niu family said bluntly: "There is such a thing. We already knew, but we didn't dare to believe it at the time!How could she say that she was also the sister-in-law of the queen's mother, and she actually did such a disgusting thing!" Then she told Qin Youzhen the ins and outs of the matter.

Qin Youzhen only felt that her mind was dizzy. She didn't expect that what the Xue family and Qin Bofu did was ten or a hundred times more hateful than Qin Jinchun's simple words! How could they dare to do this?! She didn't know what Qin Bai's relationship with the emperor was, she grew up in a long house, and she only knew that the Qin family was rich and noble, thanks to the legacy of the queen's mother. The emperor's long-term affection for being the queen is the foundation of the Qin family, otherwise with Qin Song's temperament and ability, the Chengenhou Mansion would have fallen long ago!

The Xue family and Qin Bofu used to show off their relationship with the Empress Qin in front of people at every turn, and the news that the princess was pregnant in the past came out of the palace, and they were worried about the status of the prince of the East Palace, but today, they have dug up the foot of their own wall? You know, when they sent Huang Yiqiu to Nianhui Nunnery, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already recovered from illness and returned to the court!

What's even more odious is that the Xue family also taught the Huang family girl who looked like the queen to imitate the queen's words and deeds before her death, and started from Nianhui Nunnery, threatening the people in the nunnery, intending to send Mei into the palace. Nianhui Nunnery was specially built by the emperor in order to commemorate the empress and pray for the empress's blessing! Many of the bhikshunis in the nunnery are palace people who have served the empress!

Qin Youzhen now really thinks that Huang Yiqiu is trapped in Nianhui Nunnery and reciting scriptures for a lifetime, what is it? The emperor didn't have a white silk to ask her to martyr the queen's mother. Qin Bofu wants to live idle because of poor evaluation, not to mention nothing, at least the emperor does not have a will, demote him to a white body, and send a cup of poisonous wine to the Xue family! The emperor is really a benevolent son of heaven, and he will be a Ming monarch again!

Qin Youzhen only felt that her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe, and she didn't want to have any scruples when she looked at Niu's kind face: "Auntie, our wife is confused, and my brother is not a smart person, so it's not strange that they can do stupid things." It's just that...... For such a big event, why didn't uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts persuade them to remind them of the taboo?"

Niu Shi said: "Didn't you persuade us? When they did this, I was in Jiangnan with your uncle, so I couldn't persuade them, but we also wrote a letter to Changfang, and we also wrote a letter to the Huang family, telling them to be careful." Your aunt reminded them a lot, but she also wanted them to listen! At that time, when your wife heard your aunt and her brothers and sisters mention the matter of the Huang family's sister, she pretended to be confused and said that there was no such thing. Break the truth for her and explain it in detail, she should answer it in her mouth, and laugh at your aunt and aunt when she turns her back, and she thinks that the long house is nosy, and she thinks that it is a shortcut to wealth and wealth, and the people who persuade her are deliberately hindering her mother and son's Qingyun Road. Even if we want to reason, we must have the people who listen to it be willing to listen, otherwise it is useless to say as much as we want! Later, we all gave up, knowing that she could not understand what she said, and that their mother and son had nothing to do, and that they could not cause any serious trouble, so let them go. ”

Qin Youzhen actually knew that her mother-in-law was a conceited fool, and she had never recognized her own reasoning, so she couldn't listen to others. If she is an understanding person, she will not know that the second room is weak, and she will have to compete with the long room everywhere. She sighed, her heart heavy.

If it was the past, the Xue family and Qin Bofu had a small fight and did something stupid, anyway, they wouldn't be able to become the climate, so forget it. The emperor reluctantly looked at Qin Huai, who died early, and knew that Empress Qin was the most soft-hearted to her mother's relatives because of the relationship between her mother's family, so she turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Xue family and Qin Bofu, and closed one eye, and only handed it over to the Chengenhou couple to control.

But now, what the Xue family and Qin Bofu did has angered the emperor, and as soon as the Huang family makes a move, they will directly take Qin Bofu's official position, and the Xue family will suffer a big loss. The second room has been separated, Qin Bofu's official position is the foundation of the family, and the money of the Xue family is directly related to the confidence of the Xue family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Qin Youzhen is only worried that she is the daughter of the second room, and she got married early, and she has been away from Beijing for nearly 20 years. But if it affects her husband and children, how can she accept it? Now is the critical juncture of her husband Lupu's promotion, and there must be no mistake!

Qin Youzhen looked up at the Niu family, and thought that the third uncle Qin Bai had always been a saint, that is, a foolish person like his mother and brother, who would push the well-wisher out like blindness. She bit her lip and whispered her worries to Niu: "My wife and brother have done this wrong thing, and it is only natural that the emperor should deal with them." I am a junior, and I am a married woman, so there is no room for me to speak in this matter. It's just an aunt...... Your niece and son-in-law entered Beijing this time to seek promotion. Originally, I thought that with the help of the two brothers of the long house, everything would definitely go well, but I didn't expect that there was no accurate word on the part of the ministry. Before, I thought that it was because of the busy work in the new year, and the people in the ministry couldn't spare their hands for a while, and when the government opened after the year, I thought that I would be able to determine the whereabouts of your niece and son-in-law. But now that I think about it, if it is because of the affairs of my wife and brother, and the people who are involved in our family are angry, I ...... How can I feel happy with this?"

Niu Shi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, right? You see that Jinchun is still your eldest brother's daughter, and the crown princess treats her very well." Your husband and wife are good children, and you have always been unfriendly with your wife, and everyone in the palace knows about this. Even if the emperor is annoyed by the second room, there is no reason to be angry with you? Doesn't that make your wife happy? Don't worry, it must be because there are too many things in the yamen in the new year, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

With Niu's words, Qin Youzhen's heart was a little more settled. However, she still made a slight fuss, mentioning that when she was a child, she had also entered the palace many times to meet the queen mother and concubines. At that time, I followed my aunt Xu and Aunt Fu into the palace. Now that she has returned to Beijing, I wonder if she should also send a letter to the palace and say hello to the queen mother and concubines?

She thought that if she could make the Queen Mother happy when she asked for peace, it was estimated that even if someone on the official side deliberately embarrassed her husband Lupu, she would stop from now on.

Qin Youzhen didn't expect that she asked the wrong person. The Niu family rarely entered the palace to see the queen mother's concubines, she was stunned, and the queen mother's concubines also felt that they couldn't talk to her anywhere, just for Qin Bai's face, they just treated her leniently. The Niu family didn't have the concept of going to the palace from time to time to ask for peace in his mind, and he really couldn't answer Qin Youzhen's question. But she has a trick, and she has tried everything: "You go and ask your aunt." The eldest sister-in-law has to enter the palace every month, let her take you with her. ”

Qin Youzhen blinked, and said with some embarrassment: "I am now a foreign woman, but I am afraid that there are some obstacles." It's not good for my aunt to take me into the palace without Yi's order. ”

Niu waved his hand: "This matter is easy to do, let your aunt mention you when she sees the Queen Mother." If the Queen Mother wants to see you, isn't it easy to summon you into the palace in a word?"

Qin Youzhen laughed dryly. Isn't she afraid that the Queen Mother will forget her, or that she will hate the second room, and she doesn't even want to see her. If Aunt Fu still goes to the palace from time to time, it would be good to have her help to say good things. It's just that the old aunt Fu hasn't entered the palace for a few years, and the queen mother's concubines have new friends, so they may not remember this old friend, not to mention that they are juniors who haven't been back to the capital for more than ten or twenty years.

Qin Youzhen was at a loss, and she didn't know what to do, when she suddenly heard Qin Hanzhen come over to see her grandmother and talk to the girls in the courtyard. She hurriedly adjusted the expression on her face, smiled again, watched Qin Hanzhen enter the house to greet her, and hugged Niu's arm and joked coquettishly.

Niu's heartlessness, when Qin Hanzhen asked about his aunt's intentions, he told Qin Youzhen's troubles in a few words. Qin Youzhen couldn't stop it, so she could only continue to laugh, feeling very embarrassed in front of her cousin and nephew.

Qin Hanzhen didn't have so many ideas, she thought about it carefully, and really gave Qin Youzhen an idea: "Isn't it the Huang family's branch that can't get along with the second room now? When you return to Beijing with your children, why do you have to go to your relatives and meet your old friends? When the time comes, your relatives and friends will know the purpose of your return to Beijing, and if you go back to Beijing a few more times, they will also know your uncle's personality and talents. Uncle's qualifications and achievements, are you afraid that no one will appreciate them?"

Qin Youzhen's eyes lit up, and she smiled hurriedly: "But it's my authorities who are confused." Good boy, thanks to you for reminding my aunt. Then he turned to Niu and said, "This kid is really smart! The third uncle and aunt teach him so well!"

The corners of Niu's mouth curled, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he still pretended to be modest: "Where, this kid is stupid, don't praise her too much." ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "The eldest aunt actually went to the second room of her mother's house as soon as she went out after returning to Beijing, and when she knew about it, she was anxious, where can she take care of other relatives and friends? It's almost the New Year, so you can wait for the news with peace of mind, and then go out with your uncle and cousins to visit relatives. Didn't I say, my cousin and my cousin are so outstanding, who doesn't like it? Looking back at my aunt and uncle's character and demeanor, who can bear to embarrass you?"
