Qiu Huiquan got Gao Zhen's promise and rushed back to Beijing overnight. Early the next morning, he returned to Meishan Bofu, and first went to see his mother and report to her the harvest of the trip.

Mrs. Meishan Bo heard that Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping, had promised to help in front of the Queen Mother, and said that the emperor definitely did not plan to summon Qiu Yuan into the palace, so that their family could rest assured that Qiu Yuan would be married, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for her daughter. Qiu Yuan once thought that if he was approved by the queen, he could enter the palace, but if the emperor had never had such an idea, even if the queen really wanted to choose Qiu Yuan as a concubine, it would not work.

Mrs. Meishan Bo secretly shed tears for her daughter, and quickly calmed down. Now is not the time to think about this, she immediately ordered someone to invite Meishan Bo to come, and together with her son, she told him what the mother and son had done in the past two days.

Uncle Meishan was shocked, and stomped his feet and beat his chest with hatred: "What are you going to do?!" King Guangping's father and son clearly didn't notice the difference, but Huiquan sent it to the door by himself, isn't this stupid? ! ”

Qiu Huiquan bowed his head and said, "Father, that nail has no effect at all. Although our family often takes care of his sister and brother-in-law, and his official position is also obtained by our family, it is just a matter for him to help him say good things about our family in front of the king of Guangping, and it is impossible for him to help him do some risky things. He is not a slave of our family, how can he be obedient? The road was clear, but my grandmother insisted on going her own way. When her old man tells her true intentions to the deputy good doctor, the deputy good doctor will immediately report our family to the king of Guangping and his son in order to protect his official position and wealth. When that day comes, where will we end? At the grandmother's place, the son couldn't stop it, so he had to make a stupid mistake. Now the prince of Guangping has known the intentions of our father and son, and he will not be difficult with us in the future. ”

When Mei Shanbo heard this, he calmed down a little, but he still felt that his wife and eldest son were too reckless. Now that the father and son of King Guangping are willing to let go of the Qiu family, it is indeed worth celebrating, but what if they refuse to forgive? Although Madame Qiu's move was risky, it was not without hope of success. There is also a certain cover-up, which is undoubtedly much more stable than the plan to take the initiative to send it to the door to say that it is home. Meishan Bo only felt that his son's actions completely cut off his own back road, which was really unwise!

Mrs. Meishan Bo and Qiu Huiquan listened for a while. Fang knew that Uncle Meishan was not hindered by filial piety and did not dare to dissuade Mrs. Qiu's plan, but also had a trace of delusion in his heart, thinking that maybe she could succeed? If it succeeds, the bad reputation of Meishan Bofu can be washed away. He also successfully climbed the high branches. As for the result of failure, Mei Shanbo didn't understand, but he was just lucky.

Mrs. Meishan was still sad about her husband's deception, Qiu Huiquan had already made a quick decision in his heart, and said calmly: "Father, now that the overall situation has been decided, grandmother's plan is destined to fail. It's useless for you to regenerate your gas. Why don't you go with your son and persuade your grandmother to dispel your mind? Since my sister can marry her own family, it is important for us to find a good family for her as soon as possible. She is already sixteen years old, and she is no longer married. I'm going to be an old girl. ”

Meishan Bo was choked by his anger, but his words also made sense, and if he had delusions now, he would only make the whole family die more miserably. Now Mrs. Qiu doesn't know the truth, so she has to tell her. It is a matter of the future of the whole family, if the old lady wants to go her own way, he, as a son, can no longer be indulged.

Meishan Bo is used to swaying from side to side, but when he is determined, he is still quite courageous. He took his eldest son to see his wife. I don't know what to say, Mrs. Qiu was so angry that she fainted on the spot, and when she woke up again, she couldn't speak, and her cheeks were stiff. On the other side, his cheek twitched from time to time, and his appearance was very weird. Mrs. Meishan Bo invited the doctor to come and see her, saying that she had a stroke and needed to be careful to recuperate, and she should not be angry again, after all, she was also an old man. I'm afraid it's hard to get better.

Meishan Bo and his wife served in front of Mrs. Qiu's bed day and night, and all the housekeeping in the house was handed over to Qiu Huiquan's wife. Without the elbow of the mother-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Grandma Qiu just showed her skills. As for Qiu Huiquan, he called Qiu Huiyou back, didn't care about his pampering concubine, and didn't ask him to marry a new wife, gave him a large amount of silver, and asked him to escort Qiu Yuan to his grandfather's house, and by the way, he lived there for two years before returning to Beijing.

Mrs. Meishan Bo decided to marry her daughter far away, and she was not at ease with other families, so she had to start the idea of her mother's nephew. Her sister-in-law mentioned it in her early years, but she politely refused, and now that the old thing is brought up again, I think my sister-in-law will not refuse. Now her mother and brother are still alive, and she has always loved Qiu Yuan, although her sister-in-law is shrewd and her nephew is a little mediocre, but Qiu Yuan marries in the past, at least she can guarantee that she will not be bullied by her husband's family, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. She had already explained the situation in her letters, and prepared a rich dowry for her daughter. Even if it is for the sake of the dowry, her sister-in-law will not find fault with Qiu Yuan's discredited reputation.

When the Qiu family's brothers and sisters were ready, the guards came to inform Qiu Huiquan to rejoin the Praetorian Guard. Although it is only a small general flag in the guard of the government army, it cannot be compared with the former imperial guards. But at least, Yau Huiquan finally returned to officialdom, and his interrupted career began again.

This made Qiu Huiquan more and more sure that his decision was correct, and Meishan Bo no longer was verbose, but bothered to make up for his son's new position.

Qiu Yuan lived in the nunnery for less than two days, and only copied more than a dozen scriptures, and was complaining that the Buddhist scriptures were not as easy to copy as the eldest brother said, so she might as well hear that her grandmother was sick, and then the second brother was going to send her out of Beijing to marry, and she was still marrying her uncle's cousin, who she had always looked down on. She only felt that it was a bolt from the blue, and she was noisily refusing to marry, so she was sent by her mother to a confidant, poured a bowl of soup down, and slept unconsciously to the Tongzhou wharf, got on the boat, and then woke up leisurely.

She looked at her surroundings and knew that the ship was about to leave the shore, and when the time came, she would not want to run away again, and immediately made a fuss regardless of it, and even broke free from the girls and women for a time and ran to the deck.

Qiu Huiyou was laughing with his concubine in the cabin, and after hearing the news, he angrily led people to run, and asked his mother-in-law to tie up his sister on the spot and throw her back into the cabin, and shouted loudly: "I made a package ticket in front of my eldest brother, and I will never let you escape." I advise my sister to be honest! My sister doesn't have a noble life, so why bother to dream of climbing the dragon and the phoenix? It's so bad that the whole family can't be at peace! If you hadn't become someone else's target, how would I be where I am now?! If you are honest and obedient, the second brother will not be embarrassed by you. If you're always noisy, don't blame me for tying you up all the way to my grandmother's house, regardless of my brotherly and sister feelings! ”

Qiu Yuan's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and she was dragged off the cabin by the mother-in-law, but she was no longer powerless to struggle.

This scene fell in the eyes of some people on the shore, and they couldn't help but whisper about it. Those who don't know the origin of the Qiu family just take it as a matter of rank, and those who have heard the rumors of Meishan Bofu are secretly mocking. Among them, there was a visitor, none other than Zhong Yazhi, the cousin who lived in Zhong Yayue's courtyard. She came today to greet her brother Zhong Yazhuo, who came from her hometown to help her.

Recently, because Zhong Yayue wanted to prepare for the exam, she was afraid that she was noisy at home, so she discussed with her mother and sister, planning to send her to live in a prestigious nunnery for a while, and when he finished the palace exam, maybe he would not take it back. At the beginning, he let Zhong Ya enter the door, but it was also because the old servants of the long house forced him to nod under the pretext of the New Year's reunion. Now that the year is over, Zhong Yazhi naturally has no reason to stay. Zhong Yazhi panicked and found all kinds of excuses to delay, seeing that he could no longer refuse, he was overjoyed when he heard that his brother had rushed to the capital.

Zhong Yazhuo has always been the best among the children of the family, and the others only have to obey his orders. With him coming forward, Zhong Yayue must not be able to drive people again. Zhong Yazhi didn't care about anything else, and rushed to Tongzhou with the old servants to pick up people, but he didn't expect to witness the scene just now.

When she was not down, she had also met Qiu Yuan, but they were not familiar with each other. She thought she was a phoenix at that time, how could she look down on the mediocre daughter of Meishan Bofu? is Qiu Yuan's sister, who was once regarded as a competitor by her, but was quickly eliminated. Now that things have changed, the situation of the two is very different. The rumor that the daughter of Meishan Bofu was scolded by the queen has also heard of it, and she knows that Qiu Yuan is afraid that she has embarked on her old path. is obviously only one step away from the identity of his dreams, but he can't get out of it anyway, so he can only sigh.

Presumably Qiu Yuan will be like her, very unwilling, right? But what if you are unwilling? The Qiu family is obviously as ruthless as the Zhong family, and they treat their blood relatives so decisively.

Zhong Yazhi thought of herself, and she couldn't help but feel discouraged. The Qiu family still has the title of Earl of Meishan, except for the poor reputation, there is no shortage of other things, and Qiu Yuan still has to end up in such a situation. What can she have? What she wants, is it really something she can fight for?

Zhong Yazhi sat in a daze for a long time, and when Zhong Yazhuo sat down in front of her, she didn't react. Zhong Yazhuo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhong Yazhi turned her eyes to look at him in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears. She asked him in a low voice, "Brother, let's go back, okay?" ”

Zhong Yazhuo was surprised.

The exam is about to start, and Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu are very concerned about this exam, because Zhao Kun from the third room plans to participate, and there are also the staff of the Mingzhi Library, including the elder brother of the Yi family brothers, and the other two readers, who are all candidates.

Even Gao Zhen on the hot spring village also took the time to rush back to the capital. His cousin Zhong Yayue also has to take the entrance examination.

This is the second examination since the new monarch ascended the throne, and it is also the first formal examination, and the government and the opposition are very concerned. The emperor personally decided the test questions and ordered a trusted bachelor as the examiner. For the sake of this victory, other unimportant matters between the DPRK and China had to be postponed.

It also includes the marriages of the eldest son of the emperor, the prince of Guangping and other nobles, because the Ministry of Rites needs to concentrate on holding the examination and the palace examination, and cannot spare time to take care of other things.

But Zhao Xiu did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, because the queen mother prepared for her to teach the grandmother finally came to Jiannanhou Mansion and began to instruct her on the rules of court etiquette. (To be continued.) )
