Chapter 45: The Conversation (II)
Conversation (Part II)
Shen looked at An Qi directly, and then smiled, "The eldest girl is sleepy, talking nonsense, it's better to ......."
"Second aunt doesn't believe it? Think I'm alarmist and exaggerated? An Qi puffed up in her heart and didn't dare to vent, she couldn't say anything like this anymore.
"The second uncle's temperament and ability, the second aunt knows in her heart that after so many years, there is my father outside and the second aunt inside, so I can rise step by step."
"This is also why the niece doesn't look for the second uncle, but only asks the second aunt."
"But after all, the second aunt is in the inner house, and she is not good at making decisions for my father, and many things are my father's help."
"Therefore, the second aunt and niece both know in their hearts that once my father becomes a minister, it is best for the second uncle not to be an official in the court anymore, so as not to cause trouble and affect the family."
An Qi looked at Shen as he spoke, and saw that there was no anger or shame on Shen's face, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and continued, "But this matter is far away, after all, my father is not over half a hundred years old, and he still has a future of more than ten or twenty years. ”
"At that time, the second and third brothers had already become officials in the court and had a future, so from the second aunt's heart, there was really no need to drag the An family into troubled waters."
"But the second aunt once thought that now that the emperor is old, she may wait for another ten or twenty years?"
"The princes below have long been restless, and there are also princes' biological mothers or grandfathers who have already probed their grandmothers, but grandmothers have not let go, if the An family wants to protect themselves, but they want to be innocent, then the new emperor will ascend the throne, even if he will not be held accountable, but he can still let his father continue to be in a high position, trust and reuse?"
"My father is an official in the court, and he has a lot of enemies, not to mention the second uncle, once he is not in a high position, only the second brother and the third brother can stop them? Of course, the second aunt's family will contribute, but in the end, they are not surnamed An. ”
"The future of the second brother and the third brother is actually tied to the father, and the future of the father is tied to the saint, and the body of the saint may not wait for the second brother and the third brother to grow up to become officials."
Shen's face gradually became solemn, her news was more well-informed, knowing that the saint's body had been getting worse and worse in recent years, but she didn't expect that the uncle's situation in the court did not seem to be good?
"What does the big girl mean?" Shen wanted to hear what else she could say.
An Qi kowtowed heavily on the ground, "My niece wants to marry King Wei." ”
"Since the second aunt is unwilling to get involved in the dispute for the prince, and the niece does not want to marry only an ordinary clan, it will be difficult to settle down in the future, and she will not be able to do anything."
"It's better to marry King Wei."
"King Wei is located in a remote area, he is not liked by the saints, and he is not conspicuous among the princes, but he holds the military power, no matter who ascends the throne, he will be courteous, and he will not let others trample Princess Wei's maiden family to the ground."
"And it is impossible for him to inherit the unification, so there is less suspicion of the princes about his speculation about the An family."
King Wei has foreign blood, and he will not let him succeed to the throne unless all the twenty or so princes of the Holy Lord are dead.
An Qi's proposal is really cheap for the second room, first, for the sake of King Wei's face, no matter who takes the throne in the future, he has to give the An family some face, and second, the second room is not An Qi's biological brother after all, and the suspicion is limited.
The best thing is that King Wei is a prince with a fief, and no matter what happens to settle down in the future, there is a way out, of course, this is the worst plan.
While thinking in his heart, Shen couldn't help but laugh secretly, the eldest girl is worthy of being taught by her uncle, and she has learned well this set of attacks, retreats, and defenses.
It's just that......
Shen Shi looked at An Qi, "As soon as you come, King Wei is located in a remote area, in the extreme north, if you go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see your parents and family again." ”
"Second, although Princess Wei died early and left no heirs, you are also a continuation."
This is actually wronged An Qi, she is the eldest daughter of a first-class official, if the An family really has that mind, it may not be impossible to be a prince and a concubine.
"Three to ......" Shen looked at An Qi, "You are not only doing this for the sake of the second room, right?" ”
“…… The fourth brother and the seventh brother are too weak to study in the future, so I want the second aunt to promise my niece that as long as the second aunt lives for one day, the big house and the second room will not be separated. ”
"Decades...... It's big enough to have the next generation trained. ”
"The idea...... How long have you been thinking about it? Shen looked at the girl kneeling in the candlelight, and his heart trembled slightly, but it's a pity, if she is the eldest son......
"Four years and six months." An Qi looked up at Shen, "I kept thinking and pondering, and I didn't forget a day." ”
She is the eldest daughter, the eldest sister is like a mother, and what her mother can't do for the fourth brother and the seventh brother, she has to do it.
The room was quiet, Shen thought quietly, King Wei ...... Holy ...... Imperial clan...... Dowager...... Settle down......
Even though what An Qi said may be exaggerated, and the problems faced by the An family are not so serious, the person she chose is right.
King Wei is a choice that only benefits to Brother Hao and Brother Zhou.
There was silence in the room...... After a long time, Shen picked up the purse on the table, "I took the things, you go back." ”
An Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she still bet right, the Shen family would be tempted for her child.
After An Qi left, Hualian came in, and she heard it clearly in the outhouse, although Dan'er delayed for a while, she only heard the eldest girl's plan later.
The wax in the room had not been trimmed for a while, and it was already a little dark, and the painting lotus came in and covered the glass, and the whole room was reflected again.
"The big girl didn't tell the whole story." Shen looked at the candle flame and suddenly spoke.
Hualian was facing away from Shen's Tan, and when she heard this, she hurriedly walked to Shen's side, "What did you say, madam?" ”
"Sister Qi, I can't say it all." Although what she said was indeed right.
Even if she didn't say it completely, even if one day, the King of Wei would not be the King of Wei, but the An family at that time would not flinch when they could only seek wealth and danger.
Shen Shi glanced at the painting lotus standing beside him, suppressed the ruthlessness in his heart little by little, and said nothing, "Remove my makeup." ”
"There is another ......," Shen Shi and the other painting lotus shook off the silk beads on her head before speaking, "Tell the kitchen to kill a sheep tomorrow, make a roast sheep from the far north, and send it to the old lady, and then let the old lady know that the big girl has come to me tonight." ”
Shen sighed softly, the situation of the An family is also special, the wife of the big room is not useful, the master of the second room is not useful, and the two people in the family who can take ideas are not good to meet.
Each other's intentions can only be conveyed through the old lady.
Su Xin was removing her makeup in front of the mirror, a pair of gold-inlaid jade earrings, the jade color is very good, and the handiwork is also exquisite, which is her favorite.
After removing the hairpin ring, Su Xin heard someone knocking on the door, put on his coat and walked over, "Who?" ”
"It's me, sister, open the door." Huixin also took off the hairpin ring, only wearing big wool clothes, and when she came in, she went to the charcoal basin first, "Heh, it's so cold!" ”
"What are you doing here?" Su Xin hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Hui Xin.
