Chapter 239: The Flaws of Love
Qin Fang knew that the Northern Martial Kingdom was martial, but Old Man Hu said that he was defeated in the hands of her mother, and a father and son were not wronged, which made Qin Fang's eyes inevitably a little surprised.
"Don't you know about the Northern Martial Kingdom?" Old man Hu was a little puzzled, after all, as the daughter of the eldest princess of Beiwu Kingdom, the eldest lady should be very familiar with Beiwu.
Qin Fang shook his head: "I can remember, all I know is that my mother died of hemorrhage after giving birth to me, and after that, every day was a pile of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or something to learn, until the Qing family had an accident, I heard a few words in the prison, and then I knew that my mother was the eldest princess of Beiwu Kingdom." ”
Old man Hu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Could it be that after we left the capital, no one in the Qing family mentioned the old lady again?" ”
Qin Fang didn't make a sound, nor did she make any moves, because she couldn't tell what the Qing family's attitude was towards her mother, anyway, Qing Huan's memory was too blank in this area.
"Hey, it's okay, so the eldest lady is too domineering, and the Ge family will inevitably have resentment." Old man Hu suddenly sighed and said this, Qin Fang was just about to ask, but the old man Hu said again: "Northern martial arts, all people practice martial arts, the royal family Jiang is the strongest martial artist in Northern Wu, they have to study hard since childhood, both men and women, and the people and the royal family all advocate competition, so they don't stop fighting three or five times a day, such a martial arts origin, how can the Qing family compare!" ”
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She understands this, the general who commands the soldiers to fight is killed, and the boxing sanda is much worse, and her father, the general, is equivalent to meeting a professional racer in the boxing department, and it is not unusual to be knocked out, but it can be tied many times. It's not easy.
"That. I heard you say earlier. The eldest lady of the Ge family gave the second room, isn't it the second/grandmother......" Qin Fang remembered what she wanted to ask before and immediately said, Old Man Hu nodded directly: "That's right, she is the eldest lady of the Ge family, and she is also the original princess of the Qing Palace." ”
Qin Fang's mouth opened: "Then isn't she a sister to my stepmother?" ”
In Qing Huan's memory, Qing Yue's side room, Ge Shi, was straightened two years after her mother's death, so it was also equivalent to her stepmother.
"Yes, they're sisters. Soon after the eldest lady and the patriarch got married, the eldest lady of the Ge family married the second master, and at the wedding, the second lady of the Ge family fell in love with the patriarch at a glance. ”
"And then?"
Then the old man of the Ge family naturally came to the door and talked to the old patriarch about it. After the most embarrassing, the old patriarch called the patriarch Naqi as a side concubine......"
"My dad agreed? Doesn't my mother have an opinion? Qin Fang understands that in this era, marrying a wife and taking a concubine is the norm in their eyes. Even though those big women were unhappy, few of them dared to put their beaks in their hearts.
But her mother is different, such a domineering person, she instinctively feels that with her mother's temper, I am afraid that she will not accept it, and she has to chase his father to beat her anger, so she asked.
Old man Hu glanced at her: "Good man, which one is not three wives and four concubines?" Although our patriarch is not a woman, but the old patriarch spoke, how can there be any reason not to obey? What's more, the Qing family already owes the Ge family favors, and the two families have been friends for generations, so it is not easy to shirk. ”
Qin Fang pursed her lips, she couldn't accuse his father of being a scumbag by the standards of the future society, after all, in this era, the heirs are more important than anything else, the old patriarch spoke, if his father does not obey, he is also unfilial, so she can only feel a little uncomfortable with the words of the old man Hu: "What about my mother?" Didn't she do anything? ”
"The eldest lady went to the Ge family, we thought she was going to beat the second miss of the Ge family or something, but after she came back, she agreed to this matter, and then the second miss of the Ge family was accepted as a side concubine, and soon after your mother became pregnant, she became pregnant with the second miss."
Qin Fang already knew what happened after that from Qing Huan's memory, but she was puzzled by the strange compromise of such a domineering mother in this matter.
With Jiang's skills, she naturally won't lose to Ge's, so why did she agree to this marriage because of Lu?
Qin Fang was puzzled and asked Old Man Hu, Old Man Hu also shook his head: "I don't know how to say, we were also surprised at that time, but the eldest lady didn't say anything, but later on the night when the patriarch Na Er was the side concubine, the eldest lady went to the mountains on the outskirts of the capital to practice for three days, and the old patriarch ......"
"How?"
"The old patriarch drank a lot of wine, and all night he said that the eldest lady was a good woman, and that she looked very evil, but in fact her heart was very good, and that she really loved the uncle." Old man Hu lowered his head as he spoke, as if he was reminiscing about the five flavors that filled the room that night.
Qin Fang, on the other hand, blinked, and after a moment, her lips were tightly pursed.
My mother went to the mountains to practice for three days, and she didn't have to think about it to know the Tao, she was uncomfortable in her heart, and out of sight was pure.
But why did you agree to this? Why does the old man say that her mother has a good heart and that her mother really loves her father?
She instinctively thought of a possibility, that is, her mother wanted to protect his father and be good for his father.
But what is good? Naturally, it is safe and sound, so on the other hand, if her father has something, it is likely that if she does not agree to this marriage, if the second lady of the Ge family really dies on a hunger strike, the Ge family is bound to turn against the Qing family, and once the two families who are so close deviate, they will become the most harmful enemies, and his father Qingyue will bear the brunt.
As a military doctor, although she is not active in the political arena, she can see more or less information in this regard, not to mention that there is history to learn from, there are too many military generals who are facing the end of the rabbit dead and the dog cooking.
I have never eaten pork and always seen pigs running, she pushed it upside down, and vaguely guessed that under the political game, the mother faced a crisis for her father and the Qing family not to be caught by the authorities, and finally chose to compromise,—— after all, the closest friends are still tied together is the safest.
In an instant, all the beauty and warmth are unpleasantly dull, as if you are eating delicious ice cream, but when you eat it, you feel bitter in your mouth, which makes people feel uncomfortable inside.
Qin Fang admitted that this Jiang was fierce. It's domineering. It's a noble status. However, in the face of political games, it has become so difficult for her to even keep her pure love with her beloved.
On the one hand, she hated Ge Shi even more from the heart, and on the other hand, she felt more deeply that in this era, in such a background, it is better to love and love the right people, so as not to get the flawed fruit after fighting to the top.
Suddenly. The picture of Cangyun turning back to her when she left that night appeared in her mind:
"If you really think of yourself as a grass, then remember to look at the stars in the sky every day."
……
Qin Fang shook his head vigorously, and wanted to shake off the picture in his memory, but at this time, Xiaomi's voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Report to the owner, after scanning and comparing, it can be confirmed that there is a small amount of sulfur powder in the target area, showing a state of splattering and spalling." ”
Brimstone? This kind of dangerous, flammable and explosive thing actually appeared in the blacksmith shop, which made Qin Fang stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Old Man Hu without a taste.
"That's right. Do you have sulfur in your blacksmith's shop? ”
Old man Hu was stunned when he heard this. Then he waved his hand: "No, this kind of thing that only alchemists want, what is the use of me wanting it with a dozen irons?" And that thing is dangerous, I won't use it in the shop, hey, Miss, what is it that you ask this......"
Qin Fang smiled: "Oh, I'm just curious to ask, I saw such a thing as sulfur in the book a few days ago, I was very curious, and I haven't seen it, and I said that if you have it here, I opened my eyes." ”
Qin Fang opened her mouth and covered up this topic nonsense.
She didn't distrust Old Man Hu, after all, the other party was someone from the old patriarch's side, and he had also been by her father's side, so she wouldn't be alienated from her because she was inclined to the third grandfather's line like people in the clan, otherwise she wouldn't have protected her at the moment of the explosion.
She didn't tell the truth, she just didn't want to startle the snake, because when Old Man Hu said that there was no such thing in this blacksmith shop, she was already sure that the fryer incident was deliberately done by someone, and the sulfur was the root cause of the fryer.
Could it be that Du Zhiyu?
Thinking of the mixed emotions of the other party fed back by the system, she chose the first suspect.
So she simply asked about the situation of a few people today, so that she could start to inquire about his apprentices from Old Man Hu.
What surprised her was that the apprentices, including Du Zhiyu, had been with Old Man Hu for the shortest time, and many of them were people from the clan land, only two of them were brought in from outside, but they had also lived in the villages outside the clan land for many years.
This made Qin Fang a little confused, because she originally thought that Nangong Rui was not prepared to leave a character like an inner ghost in her clan, and wanted to kill her after discovering her.
But these people are basically the "old" people in the clan, which makes Qin Fang can't help but wonder if these managers in the clan think that she is coming back to seize power, so they want to kill her.
Or maybe that Ao Zhuo thinks she's in the way, so he wants to kill her quickly?
There are many speculations, but they all need time to sort out, and many clues are needed to track down and confirm.
So after Qin Fang and Old Man Hu chatted a few more words, they said goodbye and left, and went back to Haitang Pavilion by themselves.
She is not in a hurry, because she knows that the other party is in the dark, and she is in the light, if the other party's goal is to get rid of her, after one move, there will inevitably be a second and a third time......
It's a big deal for her to wait for this guy to come to her door!
Qin Fang dragged his tired body and slowly swayed back to the Begonia Pavilion.
At this time, the night was deep, and there were no clouds to cover the moon in the moonlit and starry night sky, so the whole house was illuminated a little.
Qin Fang looked up at the sky as she walked, and couldn't help but think about how much trouble these wonderful-looking stars had caused her in the air at the beginning, if she hadn't been lucky enough to pass through the turbulent current and come to this space, she was afraid that she would disappear forever in the impact of the meteorite rain......
"I don't like you at all." She muttered softly, expressing that she didn't like them, and stepped into the courtyard door, only to see a figure standing in her courtyard. (To be continued......)
