Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Rain Breaks

Zhou Qin pursed his lips and smiled, "How many days have you come here to play?" Do you live in Muxilou? ā€

Yang Miaofang was stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"At noon, I heard people playing the flute and piano in the wooden building, and I talked to my grandmother about who everyone came here to play, but I didn't expect it to be you, a talented girl." Zhou Qin smiled.

Yang Miaofang hurriedly explained: "It's all used by others to make fun of me, don't laugh at me." The more she spoke, the whiter her face became, and she didn't know what to think, and she was suddenly in a daze.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law behind her hurriedly pulled down her clothes, she came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, "When will you go back?" I'll leave later. ā€

Zhou Qin smiled slightly.

Since I rented a wooden building, it was impossible to go back and forth on the same day. I just don't know if this Yang girl is at home, if there are elders who come with her, she will definitely not be allowed to return home at this time. After all, it's not the middle of summer, it's dark a little early, at this time, you have to take a night road, and the rain has not stopped, the road is not easy to walk, maybe when you can get home, if you are blocked in the middle of the road, it is really troublesome.

She just didn't know, and didn't ask much, seeing that this Yang girl was in a trance, and she was impatient to socialize with her, she stood up and looked at the sky, and felt that the rain might not stop for a while, and just saw a few pairs of rain gear hanging behind the pavilion, so she said to Yang Miaofang: "But I'm a little embarrassed, there is something I want to trouble Miss Yang." ā€

Yang Miaofang let out an "oh".

Zhou Qin knew that she was absent-minded, and he didn't care, "I want to borrow an umbrella from you, and I'll send it back later." ā€

Yang Miaofang couldn't wait for no one around at the moment, and when she heard that she was going to borrow an umbrella, she asked someone to send a few together, and said: "What is this worth, we are not in a hurry to go back, wait for the rain to stop before leaving, you can take it all." ā€

Zhou Qin saw that the rain was getting smaller, so he took the umbrella and left.

Hurry up, the general went back to the courtyard before Mrs. Zhao got up, and a few of them sneaked in through the back door, hurriedly changed their clothes, and drank ginger tea, and finally warmed up.

When Mrs. Zhao got up, she went over to say goodbye and went out to explore the way, but she said lightly when she encountered heavy rain.

"Luckily it didn't rain." Zhou Qin said with a smile, "I'm afraid that you will come to me when you get up, so I borrowed an umbrella from Miss Yang, and I have just sent someone to return it." ā€

"Which Miss Yang?" Old Madam Zhao couldn't help asking.

Zhou Qin told the matter in the pavilion.

Old Madam Zhao smiled clearly, "I'm afraid that the two families are looking at each other, but if Yang Shu agrees, the man's power should be not small." Then he asked, "Where is this son?" ā€

Yang Shu's wife's maiden name is Sun, in the eyes of outsiders, Sun is very fond of his daughter, and has declined many people's courtship in the past two years, but fortunately, things are done smoothly, and the evaluation of her outside is quite positive, saying that she loves her daughter and wants to keep her daughter at home for a few more years.

Zhou Qin didn't know which family the prince met today, but calculating the time, Yang Miaofang was about to get engaged, and remembered that it was Empress Dowager Tian's birthday in a few months, and not long after her birthday, Yang Miaofang was engaged. At that time, because of the matter of Princess Wei, he rarely went out to socialize, and he was not familiar with her, so he asked He Suyu to help with some gifts.

In her last life, Yang Miaofang finally married the prince of Dingguo and had a daughter after marriage.

"I think that person looks like he is twenty years old, and the prince in the capital who has not yet decided to marry at this age seems to have only the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Chengen." Zhou Qin thought about it and felt that this person was eighty percent of the princes of Dingguo.

"I think it shouldn't be the Dingguo family, I think Yang Shu's style has been very radical in recent years, and his daughter's family affairs will not be of great use, and he will not use it to marry the Dingguo family." Old Madam Zhao analyzed.

When Yang Miaofang got married, Zhou Qin was just a boudoir girl, although her grandmother taught her from a young age, she felt that the court was just a fire across the street for herself, and tomorrow's rainstorm was not very relevant, plus she was not out of the cabinet, and the people around her would not tell her much about the things behind other people's marriages, and naturally they would not have too many thoughts about this family matter.

Later, when she took charge of things, she was also curious about why Yang Miaofang would marry Dingguo Gong, who did not have a strong presence in the capital.

The ancestor of Dingguo was also the right-hand man of Taizu's uprising, but later he couldn't go to the stack, and was borrowed by Taizu for several heavy punishments before he had to hand over the military power at hand. Taizu once promised that the old Duke of Dingguo would be replaced by the fourth generation, and by this time, it was already the fourth, and when the prince of Dingguo became a parent, his descendants could only be demoted to one rank to the throne, and Xiangtian would also be recovered according to the rules.

The prince of Dingguo is not famous in the capital, he is neither good at martial arts nor loves literature, but his father, Chen Shen, the current Duke of Dingguo, is known for his literary talent. After Chen Shen married the sister of King Wuwei, his reputation in the capital became even more prominent, not because he was afraid of his wife.

His study is called "Three Fears", which originally means "fear of heaven, fear of the anger of the earth, and fear of people's hearts", which shows his way of being an official who inherits the emperor's grace, corrects the law, and obeys the will of the people. However, later, some good deeds jokingly called "can be changed to four fears", because "the grandfather of the country is also afraid of the wife".

Originally, Emperor Taizong felt that he was not decisive enough, and saw that he often went to mingle with literati, talked about the government more, and was afraid of his wife like a tiger, so he didn't like to use it very much. Later, the Empress Dowager Tian was regent, and the fear of his wife became a plus, but unfortunately his talents were limited, he only liked poetry and articles, and he often had a beginning and no end in his work, and then he slowly became less useful.

Dingguo Mansion has a hundred years of accumulation, although it is not good at developing money, but it is more than enough, and Chen Shen is afraid of his wife, presumably in the same vein, the son will also be more considerate to his wife, many of the official eunuchs and nobles in the capital who want to be stable feel that their daughters marry in the past, at least they will not be bullied, so it is a good place to marry their daughters in the circle.

However, for an official like Yang Shu who is on the rise, marrying his eldest daughter to the Duke of Dingguo is definitely a loss-making business.

Yang Shu seems to have gradually sided with the emperor since the past two years, and his marriage of his daughter to the prince of Dingguo is basically equivalent to abolishing the political use of this daughter.

Yang Shu is very good at speculation in the court, he hears the wind and chooses the team, but he can show that he is not a wall-to-wall grass, but has political ambitions and elects the lord for the people. If he follows his usual approach, the relatives of his sons and daughters may not all be combined with the powerful, but they will definitely play the greatest role.

His eldest son later married the eldest daughter of the privy envoy Zheng Jun, and the concubine married the second son of the famous Chu family in Jinling City, and the marriage of several children gave him greater political support. However, the eldest daughter, who was the most carefully raised, actually married the Dingguo Mansion, which was destined to go downhill.

If the prince of Dingguo is a great person, the title of the Duke of Dingguo is definitely prominent enough, but he is weak in civil and military, and he doesn't know what the development will be in the future.
