Chapter 685: Jealousy
The news that Pei Yin would hear, after a few days of delay, also reached Qin Jinyi's ears.
Although it is only passed on by word of mouth from the girls, I don't know how many versions of the narrative have changed, Qin Jinyi can still clearly understand that her own sister is married, and she is married very beautifully, and the whole capital is saying that it is the best family affair and the best groom. Cai Seventeen, who was once looked down upon by her, the so-called adopted son of the Marquis of Yunyang, the follower of the Marquis of Yunyang, who ran errands with the name of the adopted son and acted as a servant, actually became a world-famous young hero in just one year. How could things in this world change so suddenly?! Is there any reason for this?!
Obviously, Qin Jinchun's marriage is far inferior to her sister, but now she is married, and her sister has almost been forgotten by the world, and even her biological mother has not come to visit her for many days. Pei Guogong's mansion treats her as nothing, but she just supports her, and even her subordinates can give her a look, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law also discussed with her husband to take a good concubine to take away her status...... It shouldn't be like this!
Why did she go to great lengths to marry a person who had no opinions, and her ears were soft! The Guogong Mansion she favored was a family that had no shame, no ability, and only a false shelf? She was the niece and granddaughter of Empress Qin, the daughter of the Houmen, who was of noble birth, both talented and beautiful, and who had only been famous inside and outside the capital since she was a child! Which of the sisters could compare with her? Why did they marry one by one, either as young talents from high-ranking officials' families, or as clan kings with holy dependents, or as young heroes from famous families...... Any one of them can compare Pei Cheng to the mud. Even her little sister Qin Jinrong, who she has never put in her eyes, has set Xu Rong - a gentle son who successfully passed the imperial examination and became a child, at least he will be a talented and gentle son. Pei Cheng is not even a child!
Qin Jinyi was full of jealousy in her heart, and her resentment against God made her unable to think about tea and dinner, and she couldn't even sleep. She angrily tore at the things around her, first handkerchiefs and clothes, then bedding and curtains...... He also smashed all kinds of porcelain tea sets, tableware and even vases. Before she smashed her house into ruins, Grandma Pei, who took her daughter out to socialize, finally rushed back and asked people to stop her.
The financial situation of Pei Guogong's Mansion is not good now, and due to the loss of the long house, the money is still quite tight on weekdays. Grandma Pei was still worried about her daughter's marriage, dowry, and the cost of several major events such as her son's concubine and remarriage, and she was naturally extremely angry when she saw her daughter-in-law so ruined. She directly ordered someone to lock her daughter-in-law in the ear room, and only asked the girl to send Qin Jinyi a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun every day, and nothing else. As for the daughters-in-law's marrying girls, except for two people who stayed to wait, the rest of them were arranged by her to go to other places to be on errands, so naturally they were not good messengers. Now, no one in Pei Guogong's Mansion takes Qin Jinyi, the eldest and younger grandmother, to heart, if it weren't for the fact that she still needs to worry about her mother, Xiao Xue's visit, from time to time, Grandma Pei would be eager to tie people up.
She said to her husband: "It's not a way to go on like this, except for the mother of the Qin family, there is no one else who cares about this slut, and the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion don't take her to heart." In my opinion, even if you want to use this in-law affection to climb to the Yongjiahou Mansion, people may not pay attention to it. is also an in-law, the Xu family obviously offended the Chengenhou Mansion, but Xu Rong in the second room can still get academic guidance from Yongjiahou, our Pei Guogong Mansion has always been polite to the Qin family, but after Brother Cheng'er went over after filial piety, he often couldn't even see Yongjiahou's face, and he was not favored when he saw it. Yongjiahou only knew to let Brother Cheng go home to read the book, and asked him to find another Mr. to teach, without any more guidance. Our original plan didn't work, so we simply chose another in-law, maybe it would be better for Brother Cheng. This useless slut, staying will only disgrace our Pei Guo Mansion, why don't you solve her earlier?!"
Uncle Pei hesitated a little: "It's not good to make the Qin family suspicious." The mother-in-law still thinks about this daughter. Even if the Qin family doesn't look at us differently because of this in-law relationship, it doesn't mean that they won't retaliate against the Pei family after the accident. It's better to be cautious and not rushed. ”
Grandma Pei was a little impatient, but her husband made a decision, and she couldn't disobey, so she had to put her heart sideways, and took advantage of her filial piety to resume normal exchanges between relatives and friends, so she sent a confidant to see her mother-in-law, Xiao Xue, and told the other party that after Qin Jinyi heard that her sister was married, she angrily smashed the whole house, and now she is still arguing and going crazy, as if she is in a nightmare!
Xiao Xue was taken aback, and the good mood that was originally beaming because of the successful marriage of his youngest daughter quickly dissipated. She went to ask her mother-in-law and husband, but neither the Xue family nor Qin Bofu wanted to pay attention to Qin Jinyi anymore, and the youngest daughter Qin Jinchun was married again, she couldn't discuss serious matters with the concubines, so she had to come to Pei Guogong's mansion in person, and then saw Qin Jinyi's angry appearance in the small ear room, her hair was messy, and her body was in a mess - it really seemed to be crazy.
Xiao Xue called two more girls to come over and ask carefully, and confirmed that the eldest daughter was indeed making trouble because she heard about the wedding of her youngest daughter, and her heart was cold. What can Qin Jinchun's marriage hinder Qin Jinyi? If my sister marries well, can't she still support my sister in her in-law's house? Qin Jinyi only knows jealousy and resentment...... This daughter was really raised for nothing. No matter how much care and love the family has, they can't match the unwillingness in her heart. But her current family business, this husband, is obviously all fought for by herself? !
Xiao Xue didn't have the mood to talk face-to-face with his eldest daughter, so he absentmindedly politely greeted his mother-in-law, Grandma Pei, and then went home, and then went home, and then had a small illness, which scared Qin Jinchun when he was newly married, and he also had to take time out of the busyness of packing his luggage and rush back to his parents' house to visit the patient. When she learned the cause of Xiao Xue's illness, she was speechless for her eldest sister. She hugged her mother and said coquettishly: "You still have me, am I not filial to you? They are all married daughters, you can't be partial!"
Xiao Xue's heart softened by her coaxing, and he sighed helplessly: "Such a big person, and he has already married a wife, why are you still like a child? You have only been married for a few days? Cai's son-in-law is about to go to Liaodong to take office, why don't you hurry up and hurry up to pack your luggage and come back to see what I do? Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law's family will say that you are squeamish and can't leave your mother's house? Go back quickly, I just have a little headache, maybe I was tired a few days ago, just rest for two days." You don't have to worry that I will be too sad for your eldest sister, she is a heartless person, and she has long ignored her mother's family, but I still have this big family to worry about, but I feel uncomfortable, and I will get better soon. ”
Qin Jinchun smiled and took his mother's arm again, and said many good things to make her happy. Cai Qiqi was also very well-behaved and clever and said a lot of pleasing words, listening to Xiao Xue's extremely satisfied with him, his heart was full of joy for his little daughter's happy marriage, where do you remember the eldest daughter who was jealous and crazy?
When Pei Guogong's Mansion sent someone to deliver the letter a few days later, he said that their eldest and youngest grandmother had not eaten and slept well for a few days because of her temperament, and she fell ill in good spirits, and Xiao Xue didn't pay much attention to it, so she only asked someone to bring some supplements to the eldest daughter, and then gave a few more words, and it was enough, and she didn't mean to visit the eldest daughter in person in Pei Guogong's mansion. Seeing this, Grandma Pei was very satisfied, and immediately set about choosing a continuation object for her son. This time, it's not a good concubine in the second room, but a serious wife's room, so naturally you have to pick it in a good family!
As for Pei Guogong's mansion, no matter how much he picks, he can't pick someone who is satisfied with his own family and the other party is willing, that's a story for later.
The married daughter of the second room of the Qin family is still Qin Jinyi, who is hated by everyone, and her recent situation is only concerned by the people in the second room. As for the Qin family's room and the third room, few people still think about her. At most, Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan, as the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the third generation, when they went to visit Xiao Xue's condition, they happened to hear the reason why Qin Jinyi went crazy, and they mocked and sighed in private. As for the courtyard of the Suning County Wangfu next door, Qin Hanzhen only heard a little news from the rumors of the girls, and he had the right to gossip and chat for his own amusement.
Qin Hanzhen was discussing the news in the palace with Zhao Mo recently. The news that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were going to marry a new queen for the new monarch had already spread within the royal family and among some members of the close clans. Qin Hanzhen has always been very curious about the candidate for the new queen, and Zhao Mo said that the candidate has already been decided, let her guess. Qin Hanzhen wondered in his heart, and was a little worried that the county lord of Minshun would come.
Zhao Mo said: "The county lord doesn't care about herself, and she is almost at the age of getting married." Don't look at the fact that the palace is busy with the establishment of the queen, in fact, the empress dowager is also discussing with the emperor to choose a son-in-law for the county lord, and even the list has been prepared. ”
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "What kind of people's children are they?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have decided, and the Empress Dowager will personally inspect it, what else can go wrong?" Naturally, it must be a young talent from a famous family, both civil and military, and both talent and morality, and he has a good temperament, and he will never insult the county lord." ”
Qin Hanzhen is more concerned about one thing: "The county lord hasn't been crowned a princess yet, right? The new monarch plans to make an order together when the marriage is given? If he becomes a concubine, will it hinder his career?
Zhao Mo said: "Xinjun doesn't mean to be too restrictive to his relatives. The former crown princess Tang was born in a famous family, and the emperor chose this daughter-in-law because she had a good family background and could help the new monarch. The candidate for the new queen naturally has a bad background. Since there is no restriction on the number of relatives in this family, and there is no limit on the restrictions on the relatives on the side, what is the point? Even the Qin family has begun to have children who have become powerful officials and have been smoothly promoted. After the new monarch ascends the throne, there will naturally be different rules. As for the colt, if he is a talented person, there will naturally be no one to limit his future. It's just that the palace favors the county lord, and it shouldn't let the county lord go to the field with his husband, so ...... That's a limitation, isn't it?"
Isn't there a big problem in this regard, isn't it just to stay in the capital and become officials? There are many children of official eunuchs who do not leave Beijing. As long as the lord of Minshun can get along well with his future husband and have a happy marriage, everything else is trivial.
Speaking of foreign appointments, Qin Hanzhen remembered Qin Jian again: "Brother Lobby's official position doesn't seem to have been decided yet, right? I heard that the second uncle has discussed with him for a long time, but he still can't settle down." You walk around a lot outside and know more about the news from the DPRK and China, can you help me come up with an idea?"
Zhao Mo thought for a while: "This is easy to do." Even if you don't say it, just talking about my friendship with Brother Jian, I can't turn a blind eye to his affairs. You call him over in your next post, and I'll talk to him about it. ”
