128: The prince chooses a concubine
Meng Huaijin said in the letter that the emperor has three princes who have reached the age of marriage, and the emperor has already intended to choose a wife for the prince, and he hopes that the Cheng family will make plans early.
So this letter is not written to her, but only to pass on the word through her mouth?
The emperor has three sons who have reached adulthood, and when they reach the age of marrying a wife, this matter has nothing to do with Cheng Qing.
Although her family has three sisters, her family background is not enough to marry into the royal family, and it is not interesting to match any of the emperor's sons.
Even if it can be matched, Cheng Qing never thought about marrying her sisters into the royal ...... Marrying someone else, Cheng Qing will be able to hold the three brothers-in-law in the future, so that they can live honestly with their sisters at ease, and don't have those fancy intestines.
Marrying a prince, the family is a nobleman, shouldering the responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the royal family, will he marry only one woman?
The woman who married into the royal family enjoyed the ultimate wealth and power, and in the same way, no matter how much bitterness and tears she had, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, Cheng Qing couldn't stand out for her sisters, who was more awesome than the princes, unless she succeeded in revolting and rebelling - although she had the confidence to get ahead in Dawei, she hadn't swelled to that point!
So what did Meng Huai ask Cheng to do?
Based on Cheng Qing's understanding of Nanyi Cheng's family, Cheng's family is following an orthodox path and has absolutely no idea of being a relative.
Relatives can only be prominent for a while, too arrogant and can't escape being liquidated by the next emperor, it is better to be a pure minister like Cheng, and whoever is the emperor will be loyal to whom. No matter who is the emperor, he needs courtiers to help govern the world, and as long as the children of the Cheng clan are promising, they are not afraid of being down.
Cheng's is muffled to make a fortune, is low-key, and is wise to protect himself, so the fifth master doesn't want Cheng Qing to interact with Ye Wangfu, Ye Wangfu is the rock of the crater, look at the hot spot, when the volcano erupts, the entire Ye Wangfu will be buried by volcanic ash!
What did Huai Jin say in the letter? Although he left Nanyi, he always thought about you juniors and disciples, and also thought about the Cheng family, the Meng family received the great favor of the Cheng family, and our mother and son have never forgotten it......"
Mrs. Meng chattered, and Cheng Qing was a little distracted.
Senior Brother Meng was worried about Cheng's ...... Cheng Rong? In this letter, Cheng asked him to prepare early, and he was talking about Aunt Cheng Rong in the fifth room?!
Cheng Qing almost jumped up.
She has a close relationship with Wufang, so she naturally knows that Cheng Rong entered Beijing when she took the county exam.
said that he was going to the capital to go to the house of Master Cheng Liu's house to relax.
It's June this time, and no matter how slow Cheng Rong is walking all the way, it should be time to arrive in the capital.
Cheng Qing had something in his heart, so he didn't want to stay at Meng's house anymore, he cared about the time when Mrs. Meng left, and asked if there was anything she needed to help, so Cheng Qing said goodbye. Mrs. Meng also asked her if she had a letter to bring to Meng Huaijin, and Cheng Qing smiled:
"Aunt help the little nephew with two sentences, Senior Brother Meng won the champion, the next step is to step into the official career, the little nephew only wishes Senior Brother Meng to take care of himself."
I don't know how deeply Meng Huaijin and Xiao Yunting are involved, but Xiao Yunting feels too dangerous to Cheng Qing.
Sick and perverted.
The worse your health is, the easier it is to indulge yourself, anyway, live one more day and earn one day, and simply act crazy.
Meng Huaijin has a good future, except for mixing with Xiao Yunting, he can come out on his own.
As for whether Meng Huaijin will listen to persuasion...... Cheng Qing can only say that she tried her best to persuade her, she is worthy of her conscience, and it is not in vain that Meng Huaijin will teach her a small stove, without Meng Huaijin to sort out the foundation for her, Cheng Qing can be admitted to Xiucai, but she can't get a small three yuan!
Coming out of Meng's house, the sky in June changed as soon as it changed, the sky was mostly dark, and the entire Nanyi County was shrouded in thick black clouds, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the rain poured down, Cheng Qing ran quickly to the fifth room.
Cheng Rong went to Beijing to seek a good son-in-law, something must have gone wrong, otherwise Meng Huaijin would not have mentioned the matter of the royal family's choice of a wife!
Could it be that Cheng Rong was favored by a certain prince?
When the prince has not been appointed today, it stands to reason that all the princes have a chance to win the title.
For the sake of the supreme throne, everything can be sacrificed, including the marriage of the prince himself. changed Cheng Qing to fight for that position, and they were all reincarnated as princes, why should she be willing to be ordinary and only be a prince in the future?
The royal family has no true feelings, the father and son are not credible, and the husband and wife are mostly combined interests, and the princes marrying wives is a good time to win over the power, and marrying the right wife will bring great help.
Wenchen and military generals are the targets of the princes.
If someone wants support in the army, they want to marry the daughter of the general and the noble family, anyway, as long as they have military power. Someone wants Wenchen to help, and those pavilion elders and the six Shangshu are all good marriage partners...... Master Cheng Liu is now the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of one, in addition to not entering the cabinet, he also has a good foundation in the court.
Thinking about it this way, Cheng Rong is really a bit dangerous?
Although Cheng Rong is only Cheng Shangshu's niece, but if she really wants to marry, how much difference is there between her niece and her own daughter, Cheng Rong not only has an uncle who is Shangshu, but also a father who is the patriarch of the Cheng clan, which prince marries Cheng Rong, and the entire Nanyi Cheng clan is tied to the chariot.
Cheng Qing analyzed his analysis and talked about the fifth master, and the fifth master's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Ridiculous!"
No matter how noble the prince is, he is not a good match for Rong Niang.
What's more, Nanyi Cheng's development is very good, why did he go to a certain prince's ship?
In addition to building the academy, Cheng's has always been very low-key, which can be described as a model of making a fortune in a muffled voice, and his daughter Cheng Rong has just arrived in the capital, how she was targeted, the fifth master is puzzled.
The fifth master was very annoyed, and he had a little less worry when talking to Cheng Qing:
"Three princes, three different concubines, none of them are from the queen of the middle palace, and if there is no prince today, everyone in these princes thinks that they have a chance. Today's harem has been competing for favor for many years, with a holy life span of half a hundred, and the eldest prince only won the crown this year, all because the princes born before the eldest prince did not stand...... Rong Niang is going to marry the prince, I'm afraid that there will be no bones left if they are not eaten by others! ”
The fifth master paced in the study.
Cheng Qing was dazzled.
"Uncle, why is this so, Senior Brother Meng's reminder may be to let you take precautions, if His Royal Highness really thinks about Aunt Rong, how can the sixth uncle not write to inform him?"
The fifth master's face darkened.
To choose the princess, the Cheng family has not received any news, no matter where Meng Huaijin got the news, he is already ahead of the Cheng family.
It's a possibility.
There is another one that may make the fifth master feel very bad...... The news from Nanyi's side is all transmitted by Cheng Liu, who is still a scholar, what if the sixth brother deliberately didn't tell himself?
Cheng Qing also guessed the second possibility.
If Master Cheng Liu deliberately conceals it, then the matter will be more troublesome.
For a long time, the fifth master and the sixth master Cheng have been close and good brothers, one is in Nanyi to stabilize the rear, and the other is charging in the court.
Thanks to these two people, coupled with the accumulation of the Nanyi Cheng family over the generations, Nanyi Academy exists, and there is a stable environment for the children of the Cheng family, including Cheng Qing, to study with peace of mind.
If Master Cheng Sixth has a different mind from the Fifth Master and wants Cheng Rong to be the princess - this idea is very dangerous!
