Chapter 561: Surrender
Qiu Yuan knew that her mother and brother were going to send her to the family nunnery, so she naturally refused. She was crying and making trouble, and the movement was so loud that Mrs. Qiu and Uncle Meishan were very unhappy when they heard it, thinking that Mrs. Meishan Bo was making her own opinion.
Mrs. Qiu scolded her daughter-in-law with even more hatred: "What time is it?" There is a good future in the palace, and there is also a good future in the Guangping Palace, you don't care about your daughter's good future, and you want to send her to be a sister-in-law? What kind of heart do you have?! ”
Meishan Bo is also very incomprehensible.
Mrs. Meishan Bo dragged her sick body to explain: "Mother is gentle, and daughter-in-law is also thinking about Sister Yuan. Didn't you say that before? The queen mother had a word at that time, even if there was no will in the palace for a long time, the world regarded Sister Yuan as the emperor's woman, and the family wanted to find another family for her, but it was unsuccessful. But there has been no movement in the palace, so you can't just watch Sister Yuan not get married for the rest of her life, right? Therefore, the daughter-in-law thought that she borrowed her mother's name, and only said that she would let Sister Yuan go to pray for her grandmother and copy the scriptures, so that she could stay in the nunnery for a while. When this word spreads, others will only say that Sister Yuan has filial piety, and the palace knows about it, maybe the queen mother will be happy for a while, and she will come down? ”
Mrs. Qiu's face was a little better: "I see, it's okay, it's just that the nunnery is cold, and Sister Yuan has been pampered since she was a child, where can she endure that suffering?" Pray for blessings and copy scriptures, and do the same at home. ”
Qiu Huiquan interjected: "Grandmother, if my sister prays for blessings and copies scriptures at home, who will spread the good name for my sister?" Could it be that our family is boasting? ”
Mrs. Qiu choked suddenly. Meishan Bo coughed and said, "This also makes sense. If you are worried that the nunnery is too cold, tell the people below to go to Haosheng to arrange it first. Hengzhi is his own place, no more than the wild hermitage outside, there is no shortage of people waiting. ”
Qiu Huiquan said again: "Father." If you send someone to arrange it in advance, I don't know how long it will be delayed. No matter how long the palace affairs are delayed, it will not be delayed for more than half a year. If our family is slow, when the palace decides on the candidate, my sister's reputation for filial piety will spread, and even if she gets a reward from the palace, it will just be looking for a match outside. ”
Mrs. Qiu listened. Hurriedly said: "That's it." Just send people over! He added, "It doesn't hurt to copy the scriptures at home first." There are idlers in the family who can read, and they also have people help copy them. After copying it, it was quickly sent to the big temple and the big temple for people to see. Two days later, I went out as a guest, just to tell people about my granddaughter's filial piety. ”
Qiu Huiquan smiled: "Grandmother, if you want to praise your sister for her filial piety, you must have a thousand children and 800 scriptures as a foundation." can boast about it, otherwise others will not take it seriously. The girl from a big family just copied a few Buddhist scriptures. And what's it? Whose daughter hasn't done it? Where is it particularly filial? If my grandmother really wants to think about my sister, she still has to be patient. Besides, if hundreds of scriptures come out in three or five days, who would believe that they were copied by my sister's own hands? It is necessary to fight for a good name. You can't let anyone grasp the handle. It's not a difficult thing to be horizontal and vertical, so let my sister copy it by herself. There is nothing to do in the nunnery, so I copy more than ten or twenty articles a day. It's not a hassle. In two months, thousands of scriptures came out. Show it to people. No one else can fault it. ”
Uncle Meishan felt reasonable, so he persuaded the old lady: "Sister Yuan'er's current situation, if it is easy to solve, my son does not have to worry." You should really make a lot of effort to let the palace know the benefits of Sister Yuan. The people outside are talking ugly, if the sewage on Sister Yuan'er's head doesn't take a good name, how can she plan for a good future in the future? Even if there is that blessing, others will make irresponsible remarks and stir up good things. ”
Mrs. Qiu understood this truth, and no longer stopped her, she agreed very simply, and took the initiative to order someone to prepare a carriage to send Qiu Yuan away.
Qiu Yuan was dumbfounded, she never expected that even her grandmother would give up on herself, until Mrs. Qiu explained the reason to her in detail, she quieted down, obediently escorted by her brother Qiu Huiquan, went to the nunnery outside the city, and brought her most beloved stationery supplies, bent on copying out thousands of Buddhist scriptures, so that people would know her filial piety and good name. If the Queen Mother heard about it, she would probably not be disgusted with her anymore, right? Maybe they will summon her into the palace and point her to their children and grandchildren......
How did Qiu Yuan know that the eldest brother Qiu Huiquan sent himself to the family nunnery, leaving only a steward to arrange her food and lodging, so he turned around and went to Changping.
Qiu Huiquan hurried to the gate of the hot spring chain village in the Guangping Palace, and contacted the hidden stake installed in the Meishan Bofu. That is the good doctor deputy of the Guangping Palace, from the official position of the eighth grade, not the servant of the Meishan Bofu or the pro-army, it should be regarded as a relative. The sister of the deputy doctor married into the Qiu family, and usually went to Meishan Bofu to fight the autumn breeze. The good doctor's deputy family also gained a lot of benefits by relying on this married girl. Uncle Meishan was sent, and he naturally had to accept it. Even the position of the deputy doctor of the palace was obtained by Qiu Huiquan, the eldest son of Meishan Bo. At that time, Qiu Huiquan was still used in front of the emperor, and he was quite decent.
Qiu Huiquan only needs the help of the good doctor to deliver a letter to Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping, and wants to meet. The deputy doctor of the good doctor helped Dr. Ye on weekdays, helping to boil a medicine, copy a prescription or something, and he was also a person who could see the prince from time to time, and he didn't take it too seriously, but he was a little worried that this matter would expose his relationship with Meishan Bofu, and it would be difficult to talk in the future. Qiu Huiquan asked him to just deliver the words, for any reason. The deputy of the good doctor excused himself by saying that he met the eldest prince of Meishan Bo when he was passing by, and he helped to pass the word and reported the matter to Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen was a little depressed in his heart, he didn't have much friendship with Meishan Bofu on weekdays, but he had seen Qiu Huiquan a few times when he was a child, and he didn't know what he was doing.
The king of Guangping happened to hear it next to him, so he said to him: "Qiu Huiquan is not a stupid person, and he will not be untargeted. He came here for a reason, and you should listen to it. ”
Gao Zhen smiled: "He may not be a stupid person himself, but his family is not smart, so he will also be stupid." Now that you are idle, don't you come to seek officials, right? Then he's confused. His father could recommend him once, but he would not recommend him a second time. He is not angry at home, and he has today's fate, what is there to complain about? Having said that, he still went out to meet Qiu Huiquan.
When Qiu Huiquan saw him, he exchanged a few pleasantries, and then confessed to him about the nail planting and said it bluntly. This is because my grandmother and father intended to seek the position of the princess for their sister Qiu Yuan, so they took the lead, but it never came in handy. It's just that now the old man in the family is confused, and he may have to use this nail, and she has this good doctor and deputy relative in her hands, so she is afraid that she will do that coercion and temptation. Even if the deputy doctor didn't agree to help her, the hot spring Zhuangzi couldn't compare to the well-guarded palace. King Guangping and his son often went out again. Maybe when will you fall for the calculation? Qiu Huiquan kowtowed in front of Gao Zhen and asked Gao Zhen for forgiveness for the sins of the elders in the family, and the head knocked very loudly. After a few sounds, there was a large crimson mark on his forehead.
The good doctor deputy with the words had already turned pale with fright, and his feet were weak. Fall to your knees.
I knew that Qiu Huiquan came today to betray him. Even if he died, he wouldn't help deliver this letter!
It's just that after the resentment, he was a little afraid. If Mrs. Qiu really threatened his sister and nephew, he would probably not be able to resist. But if he really followed Mrs. Qiu's instructions, he calculated his own prince or son. He doesn't want to be an official anymore. He grew up in a poor family, but he only studied for a few years with the help of his sister and brother-in-law. After failing the imperial examination, he went to study medicine. But not proficient. If there was no Meishan Bofu to help dredge it, he would never want to enter the palace as a subordinate official in his life. Although it's just a small official from the eighth grade, it's an official body, isn't it?
Besides, this errand is very light on weekdays, and the prince has other trusted imperial doctors and doctors, and rarely summons the good doctors in the house. It's just that the emperor treated his brother well, and when he saw that the subordinate officials of the Guangping Royal Mansion withered, he was specially ordered to reorganize the subordinate official team, so that he got this opportunity. He usually comes every day to order a meal, drink tea, flip through books, and go home when the hour comes. Such a good errand, the good doctor deputy definitely does not want to lose it.
The good doctor and deputy trembled, almost buried his head in the ground, and waited in horror for the wrath of the prince Gao Zhen. However, Gao Zhen only showed a little surprise, so he lightly ordered him to go down, telling him to do things hard and not have to think about what he didn't have.
The good doctor thought to himself: "Could it be that this is not investigated?" Suddenly feeling that he had escaped the catastrophe, he kowtowed to Gao Zhen with a thousand thanks, and staggered back. He hadn't done anything he shouldn't have done, and from then on, he didn't dare to think about anything else, he only thought about repaying the great kindness of the prince and the prince, but he was a little more diligent than before.
Only Gao Zhen and Qiu Huiquan were left in the room, and the latter knelt on the ground, bowing his head and saying nothing. Gao Zhen's treatment of the good doctor deputy was somewhat unexpected, but at the same time, it also made him more confident that he could successfully escape the catastrophe.
Gao Zhen looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Is Master Qiu going to surrender to me?" I didn't find anything wrong with the good doctor, so you sued him first, and cut off my own back, so that I didn't know what to do with you. ”
Qiu Huiquan bowed his head and said: "Huiquan has no other intentions, but he is worried that his grandmother will be confused and misunderstood, so he will come to remind the prince." ”
Gao Zhen smiled: "You are not very polite to your grandmother, aren't you afraid that I think you are an unfilial person?" ”
Qiu Huiquan lowered his head: "Huiquan knows the depth of sin. ”
Gao Zhen raised his eyebrows, this is the meaning of taking the initiative to hand the handle to him? It's also rare, but it's a pity that the Guangping Royal Mansion has no intention of recruiting people again.
He said lightly: "You get up, I already know, and I will order people to be on guard." After speaking, he couldn't help but smile: "Your sister is so interesting, she dared to play tricks in front of the queen mother in the past, and wanted to marry me, and for this reason, she almost told someone else about my future concubine." The queen mother showed a slight tone and said that she wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor, so she put this matter aside and hurried to please her. Now that she can't enter the palace, she heard that my father is going to choose a side concubine, and she has the idea of my father again. She is a little girl, how many men does she want to marry? A man who dares to love this world, no matter how high his status is, he has to choose with her?! ”
Qiu Huiquan's face turned red when he heard this, and he bowed his head in shame and remained silent. He didn't know that his sister had played tricks in front of the queen in order to be the princess of Guangping in the past. But listening to Gao Zhen's tone, you know that he has a lot of resentment in his heart. Fortunately, he decisively confessed to Gao Zhen, otherwise this resentment would have been counted on his head in the future.
Gao Zhen took a closer look at Qiu Huiquan's expression, and saw that he had no resentment, and his mood was much better. He said to Qiu Huiquan: "Your sister should marry out as soon as possible, marry farther, I will carry it for you in the palace, and no one will pursue it." In fact, what Ling Zun was worried about was completely unfounded. The emperor has never regarded Ling Mei as his own woman. But my grandmother was worried too much. The old man is too worried and afraid of physical obstacles. If you want to be a filial grandson and a filial son, you should know what to do. ”
Qiu Huiquan's heart jumped, he already understood what Gao Zhen meant, and responded decisively in a low voice: "Yes!" (To be continued)
