Chapter 481: Desolate Relatives
Qin Jinyi got married in a hurry.
Originally, when she returned home and knew that Pei Guogong had just died, she had already "chuckled" in her heart, knowing that something was wrong.
Although the date of the wedding has not even been really decided on the Pei family's side, Pei Guogong unexpectedly died early, the days were too hasty, it was impossible to do Pei Cheng's wedding before Pei Guogong died, but who called the second room of the Qin family has not given an exact answer before, so that the Pei family has a wedding date? Now that the marriage was not completed before Pei Guogong's death, even if everyone felt that the second room of the Qin family was not to blame, it was inevitable that some people would be angry and think that the Qin family was delaying. And Qin Jinyi, she was weak first, even if no one told her anything, she had to be more suspicious, for fear that the Pei family would complain about herself behind her back.
After all, she did deliberately delay the marriage so that the "injury" on her leg could be fooled.
However, the Pei family didn't say anything sorry, but while they were busy with the funeral, they kindly made a request to Qin Bofu, who came to mourn as an in-law: Can the children's wedding be completed within seven days of the mourning period?
Qin Bofu was a little hesitant at that time. Although I have long known that the Qin family has the intention of marrying a desolate relative, it would be better if the wedding could be completed before Pei Guogong died. But isn't there no way to do it now? I can only think about being desolate. However, the Pei family didn't know what the situation would be in the future, and Qin Bofu was a little worried that his wife would change his mind again, so he didn't dare to agree immediately.
Uncle Pei is good at observing faces, and when he saw Qin Bofu hesitating, he immediately said: "By the way, my boss, Lord Liu of Honglu Temple, happened to be here, and when he talked about my worries, he was worried about the vacancy of my official position." This Lord Liu was originally a protégé of my late father in the past, and he was the closest to our family. Isn't the in-laws at home? Why don't you just write a resume and hand it to Lord Liu? If my in-laws can make up for my shortcomings, it's better than cheaper outsiders? I'm afraid that my in-laws won't look down on me. ”
Uncle Pei served as the right temple in Honglu Temple, this is an official position from the sixth grade, there is no real power in his hands, and he has always been very idle. However, for Pei Guogong, who has been bedridden for many years after a stroke, the position of the eldest son is very suitable. can't be called a sesame mung bean official, but he has enough time to take care of his father's condition, and it is decent to talk about it to outsiders.
This official position is actually slightly lower than before Qin Bofu lost his position, but it is really lacking. If Qin Bofu had another way, it would definitely be unacceptable. The power he can hold in this position is not as good as the position he used to hold. But who told him that there was no other way to recover? And Uncle Pei said with confidence, as if as long as he nodded, this position would be in hand.
Qin Bofu struggled in his heart, remembering the official position that Uncle Pei had promised him, and thought to himself, could it be the seat of the right temple of Honglu Temple? No wonder the other party was so sure, the boss was his father's protégé, and it was a vacant ...... because of his filial piety
Qin Bofu hesitated for a while, and Uncle Pei's heart had already turned a few times, as if he was afraid that his chips would not be enough, and he added: "Right Shaoqing and Lord Zuo, it seems that he has already intended to say goodbye." He has always been an old-timer who likes to promote his own people. And Lord Liu...... It's a trouble-free person, and he doesn't like to transfer new people from outside. There are some vacant positions, and he is more than willing to promote from the people below......"
The right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, that is from the official position of Wupin, if you can really get the support of Honglu Temple......
Qin Bofu thought to himself, he was also a real official of the sixth grade, and now in order to recover, he wronged himself and took the official position from the sixth grade, and when he had the opportunity to be promoted, he was promoted from the fifth rank by two levels in one breath, in fact, he should also be shared...... In this way, although the position of the right temple of Honglu Temple has temporarily wronged him, it is not so difficult to accept.
He showed a friendly smile and shook Uncle Pei's hand: "My in-laws' intentions, how can I live up to it? I don't know if I can borrow a quiet room and write a piece of paper? I happened to write my resume in the house, and I also saved Master Liu from labor." When you and I go back to the happy event, although it is inconvenient to hold a banquet, it is still appropriate to invite close relatives and friends to drink a glass of wedding wine. When the time comes, I will definitely toast Lord Liu a few more glasses and thank him for his help. ”
Uncle Pei understood that this was Qin Bofu's acquiescence to the meaning of the desolate relatives, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly invited him to the back hall: "Please come with me, there is a place for distinguished guests to rest and use tea......"
When Qin Bofu returned home, he brought two "good" news. One is that his new errand has been settled, and he will be able to take office within three days, which is to take over the position of the right temple of Honglu Temple of his Pei family; the second is that his eldest daughter, Qin Jinyi, wants to marry into the Pei family before the first seven days of Pei Guogong.
The Pei family also knew that Qin Jinyi's injury had not healed, and promised that as long as she survived the wedding, after entering the door, she would just recuperate from her injuries while keeping filial piety, and wait for Pei Cheng to be filial piety a year later, and then talk about the round house. Setting rules in front of the mother-in-law and mother-in-law can be avoided before she recovers. Pei Guogong's Mansion had simply tidied up Pei Cheng's yard for the sake of the eldest grandson's family affairs, and Pei Cheng would temporarily move to the outer study to live. In other words, when the whole courtyard is Qin Jinyi's, she will have the final say in the courtyard.
Qin Bofu said to his mother Xue and eldest daughter Qin Jinyi: "The Pei family is full of sincerity, as long as the eldest girl still wants this family business, she can't shirk it anymore! When the filial piety period of this year is over, even if the big girl's leg injury has any consequences, it can be said that it was caused by the wedding. All the responsibilities can be pushed to the Pei family, as long as the big girl is a gentle and considerate wife, and the son-in-law is enveloped. The Pei family still needs to beg our Qin family, as long as the big girl doesn't make too much trouble, so that they can catch the handle, they won't dare to show the big girl's face!"
Qin Jinyi was very aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't want to miss this marriage, so she squirmed and said, "Will the Pei family feel ...... I was willing to even agree to such a request, it was too rushed, and it was a little ...... Not respectful enough?"
Xue smacked his lips and thought for a while: "That's fine, as long as you can hide the injury on your leg, this arrangement is not bad." It's just that the girl who marries has to choose a few smarter, and she can't show her stuffing in front of the Pei family. "There is no objection?
When Qin Jinyi heard this, she was secretly entangled in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. This family business was asked for by herself.
Qin Bofu felt that marrying or something was a trivial matter, so he waved his hand: "These things are easy to do, just let your daughter-in-law worry about it." The dowry and everything are ready-made, and the wedding dress is also available. When the wedding girl and the accompanying room are all selected, the Pei family has set the wedding date, and we will send the big girl to the sedan chair. ”
Qin Jinyi bit her lip and took the initiative to speak: "Father, my dowry...... Isn't there something missing? Some of the things that I bought with three thousand taels of silver can't be handled? Our family is also the queen's mother's maiden family. And that wedding dress, hijab, what kind of goods are they?! It is said that it is the needlework of Jiangnan embroidery girl, but I am afraid that it is fooling people, right?"
Qin Bofu frowned and said: "I think that wedding dress is good, where can I get any really good things in a hurry? The dress is a little long, and your mother has to take your sister to change it for you. You just stop it, you just want to marry the Pei family with the gold and silver mountains, and I have to take out your old son! Three thousand taels, you are still too little? Your sister has not counted this yet!"
Qin Jinyi was a little reluctant to give up: "But I remember, when the year before last year, when the shops and industries came to report the accounts, didn't they have a dividend of six or seven thousand taels of silver? There were six or seven thousand taels every year, and in a few years, there were thirty or forty thousand, right? Our family population is not large, and the cost is not large, why can we only take out three thousand taels of silver to give me a dowry?"
Qin Bofu rolled his eyes: "You also know that it was the account of the year before last! Now that the Xue family has separated from us and embezzled our family's property, there are no so many dividends in the account for a long time." Even if there is still money at home, can I still give it to you, can we all ask our family to drink the northwest wind?!"
Qin Bofu didn't say that the three thousand taels were actually prepared for the eldest daughter in the early years, and they have not been added over the years. If it weren't for the old lady, he might have embezzled some of it a long time ago. Anyway, the eldest daughter's family affairs are not as ideal as he expected before, and he doesn't have to add anything to her, with these three thousand taels, and five hundred taels of silver in the box, it's almost the same. The mother and wife will definitely have a body for their eldest daughter, maybe the long room and the third room will also be a little expressive, plus the makeup of relatives and friends, such a dowry is decent enough for Qin Jinyi. If he hadn't thought that the Pei family had made a comeback for him, and he was still counting on the daughter of the Pei family to enter the East Palace to inherit the favor, he might not even be willing to take out this dowry!
The Xue family suddenly heard his son mention his mother's Xue family, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Although she was biased towards her mother's family, she couldn't open her eyes and say nonsense, and sang praises to the Xue family's behavior of turning her back on the second room of the Qin family, but she didn't want to follow her son's tone and say that the Xue family's was not, so she forcibly diverted the attention of her son and granddaughter: "I still have some things there, which I have saved over the years." In addition to the coffin book, I will leave one for Brother Xun'er, and then leave two pieces of jewelry for the four girls to think about, and the rest are all Sister Yi'er's, and there are a lot of them. I'll add another fifty taels of gold to Sister Yi'er, and make sure that the Pei family can see it straight! Hmph, when several grandmothers of their family entered the door, no one had a decent dowry. Pei's second grandmother brought two loads of spices, and she shouted all over the street, it seemed to be amazing. Our sister Yi's dowry will definitely be able to compare the dowries of all the female dependents of the Pei family! Let them also know what the pomp and circumstance of the queen's niece and granddaughter is!"
Xue didn't mention the specific amount, but Qin Jinyi thought of her grandmother's private collection, and thought that she could get most of it, so she reluctantly accepted it in her heart. It's a pity that the wedding of a deserted relative can only be simple, she is destined to have no way to marry beautifully, otherwise she can show off in front of her cousins.
In this way, before the seventh sacrifice day of Pei Guogong, Qin Jinyi wore a wedding dress, boarded a sedan chair, and was married into the house by Pei Cheng, who was tied with a filial piety belt around her waist, and officially became the wife of Pei's family.
