Chapter 19: Confession

Qin Hanzhen looked at Qin Jinchun and said very solemnly: "I just talked to the second sister for a long time, you should also understand, this errand is really not very good, why do you still want to go? Although you are from the second room, and you have been separated from our long room and third room, you are not the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but you have the same identity as us in blood." If the crown princess hadn't put me and my second sister on the shortlist for companionship, she wouldn't have considered you either. ”

Qin Jinchun bit his lip and said a little nervously: "Third sister, I want to be this companion, but I really have no choice. You also think about it, I am now thanks to the blessing of my second sister to be able to study in this house. But the second sister will be in time next year, and she won't have to go to school anymore, so what do you want me to do with the student? I don't want to go home and live like before. If I were to be the companion of the county lord of the East Palace, I would still have an identity that I could handle, and my family would not treat me too harshly, and I wouldn't dare to ...... Easily decide the events of my life. If I can please the county lord of Minshun, maybe in the future, if I am bullied at home, the county lord will still be able to make the decision for me? The eldest sister is so favored, her father almost married her to an older person to fill the house, but fortunately she was stopped by her grandmother. I don't even have an elder like my grandmother who can protect me, and I don't know how my father will manipulate me in the future. I don't have a shame to say now, if I don't plan for myself early, what will I do when disaster strikes in the future?"

Qin Hanzhen frowned when he heard this. Qin Jinchun's worries also have her reasons. At her age, it is rare to think so long-term. If you want to be a companion to the emperor's granddaughter, it's still an upright road, not a crooked way. If it can really be done, it can be regarded as finding a backstage guarantee for Qin Jinchun. Just a little bit......

Qin Hanzhen hesitated: "You come with me, this is not the place to talk." She led Qin Jinchun back into the courtyard and turned to the west wing.

This was where she used to live. After she moved into the new Yongjiahou Mansion with her family, no new residents moved in, but the original furniture was still there, and the furnishings sent by the Yao family had not been touched. Qin Jinhua always wanted Qin Hanzhen to come and live, and the sisters were still with each other day and night as before, so the house was cleaned regularly. Qin Hanzhen brought Qin Jinchun in, although there were no heating facilities, there were chairs to sit on, and there were walls, doors and windows to block the wind, which was much stronger than talking on the tuyere at the courtyard gate.

There was no one else in the house, so Qin Hanzhen said to Qin Jinchun bluntly: "The temperament of the lord of Shunmin should be okay, not the kind of noble person who is rude and willful and deliberately bullies people, but she has a noble status, even if you are her cousin, if you really come to her side to be a companion, it is inevitable that there will be times when you swallow your anger." You are a companion in the East Palace, and you will never be comfortable in this mansion, have you thought clearly?"

Qin Jinchun's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I know it in my heart, but I still want to go." Saying that, she smiled bitterly again, "Third sister, I really have no choice." ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "If you are just worried that your family will decide the marriage matter casually, my second sister and I can still help you, please move the elders to come forward and persuade your father." I think the second uncle and grandmother are confused, but the eldest uncle has suffered a little in the past few years, so he should be smarter. As long as there are enough benefits in exchange, he should be happy to leave your marriage to the long house and our third room to decide. ”

The reason why the second room acquiesced to Qin Jinchun's stay in the long house was actually the idea of finding a good family and preparing a rich dowry for Qin Jinchun under the guise of wanting to dip the long room. Qin Hanzhen felt that Qin Jinchun didn't have to worry too much about Qin Bofu setting a mismatched marriage for her at will. If Qin Jinchun marries well, he will still be able to rely on his son-in-law in the future. And the people that the Chengenhou Mansion can find for Qin Jinchun are naturally much stronger than the people that Qin Bofu can find. This account, as long as you are not a fool, can be calculated clearly.

Qin Jinchun shook his head and said, "I also thought about begging my uncle and aunt." But......" she paused, "if it weren't for the second sister being nice to me, they might not be willing to meddle with this matter." Maybe the marriage they are looking for me in the future will not be bad, but most of them will be with my family, right? My father will not be satisfied, and something will still happen. What will I do then? My grandmother and father used to be domineering, and never took the long room and the three of you to heart, thinking that you would all let them mess around. But if they annoy my aunts and uncles, I will be miserable! Can I still count on my second sister to save me in everything? If there is a county lord to support me, at least, my father will not dare to make a mistake in front of the royal people. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed when he heard it: "It's not easy for you. When it came to this, she no longer hid it, "Frankly speaking, your matter is not difficult, there is only one problem, that is, your grandmother and your father, I'm afraid they didn't leave a good impression in the East Palace." No matter how good you are, as soon as the nobles of the East Palace heard who your father was, they first had prejudices against you. I'm not out of purpose. I don't know if you've heard that our great-grandfather's Yuan and Mrs. Huang, her maiden family, the Huang family, in the south, once came to the capital to find your grandmother and father. You probably hadn't moved out of the house yet. But they didn't stay long in your house, so they sent your grandmother and father out again, and found another house to settle in. The Huang clan in this room has a daughter named Huang Yiqiu. She ......," she paused, "she is said to have been born like a queen mother." ”

Qin Jinchun was stunned: "This ...... I have never met anyone, but I seem to have heard my mother mention it once, saying that the family lives in the capital, and our family provides a lot of money for daily expenses, and also makes clothes and jewelry for her daughter, and my grandmother is willing to spend money on outsiders, but she is not willing to make new winter clothes for my own granddaughter. But my grandmother heard these words when she passed by, and my mother scolded them, and since then she has never complained about them. ”

Because when the Xue family scolded Xiao Xue, he specially kicked the little granddaughter out of the house, so Qin Jinchun didn't know what she scolded specifically. But I also know that that is not a good thing to say.

Qin Hanzhen continued: "That Huang Yiqiu's aunt was originally the second daughter-in-law of our Qin family's Jiangning hometown, and she was very ambitious. She once shouted, saying that her niece was born like the queen's mother, and she was destined to enter the palace to be a mother, and when her niece gave birth to a prince to the emperor, our Qin clan would have to look at her face. In order to achieve her goal, she also found the Xue family. That Huang Yiqiu's biological mother is the daughter of the Xue family. The Xue family, your grandmother and father joined forces to bring Huang Yiqiu's family to the capital, and also arranged for her to go to Nianhui Nunnery, wanting to take advantage of the emperor's visit to the nunnery to remember the queen's mother, and paste it with a similar appearance......"

Qin Jinchun showed a shocked expression, and wanted to be a little disgusted: "Are grandmother and father confused?!How can they do such a thing?!" She really didn't know what was going on here, but at this moment, she was really a little desperate. In other words, if someone finds a beauty who looks like her mother and gives it to her father, she will never have a good face for her. If the prince knew such a thing......

She asked Qin Hanzhen hopelessly: "The prince knows, isn't it? My grandmother and father must not succeed!"

Qin Hanzhen said: "Whether they succeeded or not, I don't know, anyway, there are no new concubines in the palace, and your family will not get any benefits." The Huang family is said to have been cut off from relatives and friends for several years, and even the Huang family in the capital does not know where they are now. However, the crown prince did know about it. When he was in Jiangnan, that Huang Yiqiu once met the prince. Because she was born like a queen mother and a member of the Huang family, the prince treated her politely. Who would have thought that she didn't know the identity of the prince, but she thought that the prince was a noble man of the clan and was rich and extraordinary, so she stuck to it twice in three days, wanting to marry the prince as a concubine......"

Qin Jinchun stomped his feet when he heard this, and couldn't help but cover his face: "Such a slut, grandmother and father still want to sacrifice her to the palace, are they afraid that the emperor will not be angry?......! My father had not been promoted for several years, and everything was not going well in the yamen. It must be the emperor and the crown prince who are deliberately trying to embarrass him!" As she said that, her face turned pale and she sat down on the chair weakly, "Father has done such a stupid thing, even if I want to be a companion again, it is impossible for the nobles in the palace to accept me......"

Her eyes were red and she choked lowly. This feeling of being burdened by a confused family is really uncomfortable, and she has tasted it countless times. Except to recognize her powerlessness again, her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of anything.

Qin Han really didn't feel good when he saw her like this, so he could only explain her: "Don't think too much." If you really want to give it a try, then I'll go back and ask Mr. Zeng for you to see if I can report your name as well. Mr. Tsang has taught you for a few years and knows all about your temperament, so if she thinks you can try, it will not be difficult to add a name to the list. But after the list is handed to the East Palace, I can't guarantee what the result will be. But don't worry, when you say kiss in the future, if Changfang is unwilling to help you, there will be me. I begged my grandmother to come forward, but I didn't believe what your father could do to you. If it's a big deal, threaten to say that if they marry you indiscriminately, then remove your father's official position!"

Qin Jinchun was stunned, his low sobbing voice slowly stopped, and asked in a low voice, "Really, the third sister didn't coax me, right?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "What am I coaxing you to do? Otherwise, I won't have to wait that long." I'm going to beg my grandfather to transfer your father to a place to be a magistrate, and when the time comes, let your mother pretend to be sick and not follow him to take office, and you will stay and serve him when he's sick. When your marriage is decided, he is thousands of miles away, and he is helpless. ”

Qin Jinchun whispered: "That's not possible. If he had to do that, when he returned, he would have no good fruit to eat from my mother. ”

However, with Qin Hanzhen's endorsement, her mood was a little lighter. She held Qin Hanzhen's hand: "Good sister, I don't know how to thank you." In short, with your words today, even if things are not satisfactory in the future, I will miss you. ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "Do you not believe me or what?"

Qin Jinchun pursed his lips and smiled.

Qin Hanzhen comforted her, and left, planning to go home to find Mr. Zeng to talk about it. Qin Jinchun wiped away his tears, tidied up his appearance in the mirror in the room, and confirmed that there was no problem, before he wanted to go back to his room, but met Qin Jinhua wearing a thick cloak on the way.

Qin Jinhua glared at her complainingly, and said angrily: "You girl, why don't you tell the truth in front of me? If it weren't for the fact that I saw you and my third sister hiding in the west wing and whispering, and ran to eavesdrop on it out of curiosity, when would you still want to hide it from me? !

Qin Jinchun suddenly panicked.
