Chapter 131: In-laws
Jiang Shilang wanted to release him from Beijing, the purpose was to avoid the storm caused by the prince's seizure of the throne in Beijing. The Jiang family and the second room of the Cao family are in-laws, and Jiang Shilang was still the backbone of the Cao Party in the early years, although he has been slightly estranged in recent years, but it is not so easy to get rid of the relationship. The external status can just avoid the emperor's purge of the Cao family. If he is cautious in his own work, if he does not leave a handle, at most, it will be difficult to re-enter the center in the future, but his career will still be unhindered.
Cao Wenluan was originally the link between the two families of Cao Jiang. If Jiang Shilang wants to go out of Beijing, he must bring his wife and children, and Cao Wenluan is especially the top priority. If she stays in Beijing with her children, she will only keep reminding everyone that the Jiang family is the in-laws of the Cao family. If the emperor wants to deal with the Cao family, he will not ignore the Jiang family. What's in it for the Jiang family?!
At the same time, Cao Wenluan is not the daughter of the Chengenhou Mansion, but the daughter of Cao Erye. Now the Cao family's room and the second room are in the gap, and the long room is far away, but the second room has a way out after the second master Cao was dismissed and lost his position, and it is very likely that the family will be safe in the future, provided that they will not be mixed with the Chengenhou Mansion again. Second Master Cao may still be thinking about his brother, but Second Mrs. Cao is already thinking about the way back. The daughter and son-in-law are very affectionate, if they want to ensure that their marriage does not make waves, it is naturally safer to go out of Beijing with the Jiang family, and it can also allow the daughter's grandson to avoid the turmoil in Beijing by the way. As for the fate of the Cao family in the future, it is by no means something that can be controlled by a daughter from a side branch. In this case, instead of leaving her daughter involved in Beijing, it is better to let her leave. The Cao family doesn't know what will happen in the future, and it is one that can get rid of one.
The Jiang family and the second room of the Cao family both hoped that Cao Wenluan would go out of Beijing with her husband's family, but Cao Shuqing wanted to persuade the family to stay, on the grounds that Gansu was not a prosperous place, and the child went to suffer hardships...... This is not only without eyes, but it can also be said that there is no political consciousness at all!
Xie Yinghui and Xie Yingfen both understood the absurdity of Cao Shuqing's words, and the former even showed a crying and laughing expression, and was silent for a while before saying: "My mother has never worried about this...... If she was a smart person, she wouldn't be at the mercy of others to get to where she is today. ”
Xie Mulin couldn't bear to see the eldest sister hurt her biological mother again, so she coughed lightly and tried to change the topic: "Are there any other young masters and girls in the Cao family who are not married?" What is the situation at the moment. ”
Xie Yingfen comprehended and said busily: "Most of the people in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms are not very old, Ye Laogao only said that Cao Wenxing has decided a family matter, and the other party has also changed his hexagram." There is also Cao Wenjuan in the second room, who was originally discussing marriage, but it was also shelved. I don't know about others. The Ye family is just an errand boy in the Chengenhou Mansion, and they don't look down on a few concubines, how can they know so much? ”
She remembered one more thing: "Does Cao Rong remember?" I remember that the third brother used to be friendly with him, and when he returned to Beijing a few months ago, he went to look for him. Cao Rong's old son, Cao Jian, is a shrewd and decisive figure. He was not allowed to accept the Enhou Mansion in the past, and his official position has not been high over the years, and he has not relied on the Cao family to get any benefits. Cao Erye had an accident on his side, and he saw that it was not good, so he immediately put some money, asked his boss to find a relationship, and found a messenger from the local guard, and took his family to the post early. The rest of the Cao family lost their official positions and dismissed them, but it did not affect him. Cao Rong originally said a family affair in Beijing, and the family didn't withdraw from the marriage! ”
When Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui heard it, they thought it was good news: "Ming'er wants to tell the third brother." Although he used to use Cao Rong's ideas more, he also developed some true friendship later. Knowing that Cao Rong has not been affected by the Cao family, he will be happy in his heart. Xie Yinghui smiled and said: "Cao Jian is indeed very decisive, his wife is a diehard loyalist of the Cheng'en Mansion, he can persuade his wife to agree to the release, right?" ”
Xie Yingfen sighed and said: "If the Cao family has an accident this time, it can almost be said that the tree has fallen and scattered. All the in-laws will alienate them, and those who refuse to be alienated will also have a bad thing for their own family. In such a situation, if his family can still say that it is a decent family business, he must give priority to marrying his own girl, where is the turn to get a girl like me who can't fight with eight poles and still has a little hatred? My aunt also carefully inquired about Ye Laogao and his wife, and only after knowing the current situation did she completely dispel the idea of borrowing the hands of the Cao family to seek a good relationship between me and my fourth brother.
"She's still sad at this time, and I don't know how to persuade her, so I just let her go. I am surnamed Xie, not Cao, the Xie family has not fallen, and my father is a high-ranking official in Beiping, no matter how long the Cao family's hand is, it can't control my head! My aunt grew up in the Cao family, and she always thought that there was nothing that the Cao family could do, so she thought that they could decide my marriage. ”
Xie Yinghui said gloomily: "Why wasn't I like this before? From childhood to adulthood, all I heard was how the Cao family was good, obviously the Cao family relied on our Xie family's silver to maintain that great wealth and pomp, but I still think that the Cao family is far richer than the Xie family, and the Xie family is just a broken household, so in the past, I was coaxed by my mother and uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin, and did a lot of stupid things. Fortunately, they were impatient, and I wasn't deceived for too long, so I woke up early. Without those people in the Cao family, I can be regarded as truly seeing the world and no longer being a frog at the bottom of the well. Wanqin has always lived in the inner house, and she never knew that the sky was high and the earth was thick, so how could she know how stupid she was? Just like her in the past and her current mother, Cao Shuqing.
Xie Yingfen changed her sitting posture a little uncomfortably, and looked at Xie Mulin with blank eyes. Xie Mulin cleared his throat again: "Uh...... This is the situation of the Cao family at the moment, and we also know the recent situation of the Jiang family, but we don't know what other families are doing? Like what...... What about the Cheng family of the Marquis of Ningguo? I remember that Mrs. Cheng's niece is the Wang family of the East Palace, right? If something happened to the East Palace, was his family also implicated? ”
Xie Yingfen hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, Ye Laogao also mentioned this matter." Ning Guohou's mansion is not a big deal, but if there is an accident in the East Palace, the scenery of Mrs. Cheng Er's mansion will be greatly reduced, and she will be suppressed by Mrs. Ning Guohou again, and she will recuperate at home. It's just that now the Cheng family is no longer Mrs. Ning Guohou and Cheng Erye, it is Ning Guohou who is in charge! Ning Guohou neither took refuge in the Cao family, nor did he want to get close to the Lin family, but instead married Qingliu through his grandson Cheng Du. Now that the court is the emperor's henchman, Cheng Du naturally benefited. Although the Cheng family is also the in-laws of the Cao family, this time, his family has not been implicated. ”
Speaking of the Cheng family, Xie Yingfen remembered one more thing: "I don't know if it's true or not, this is what Ye Laogao's wife heard from other people's mouths." She lowered her voice mysteriously, "It is said that Chengenhou has just been reprimanded by the emperor, and when he was reflecting on it behind closed doors, someone saw Cao Wenfeng returning to the capital and approached the Cao family for help!" ”
Xie Yinghui was taken aback: "What did you say?" Cao Wenfeng? She's alive?! ”
