Chapter 21 One hundred thousand silver
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Mrs. Yin said, "Mingyue, you are still young and don't understand the benefits of this silver. However, you have to believe your mother's words, your mother will not lie to you. ”
Qin Mingyue suddenly said: "The silver is good, how can I not know it?" But how do we know that we don't have any money in our hands now? ”
Lady Yin suddenly laughed and said, "Just know how good the silver is." Mingyue, let me tell you, today, your cousin, who is Mrs. Jinyang Hou, sent her henchmen to discuss with me, if you and the prince of Jinyang Hou are married, they Jinyang Hou will immediately take out 100,000 taels of silver for us to tide over the difficulties. Of course, these 100,000 taels are just for us to tide over the difficulties, and they will not be less than the dowry that should be given to you. Moreover, because of your identity, their Hou Mansion decided to add a few rare treasures to the dowry. Your dowry will definitely be the envy of all the ladies in the capital. ”
Qin Mingyue's heart was cold. Sure enough, is the 100,000 taels of silver from Jinyang Marquis going to be taken out? In the last life, she was harmed by this mere 100,000 taels of silver, and in this life, she can't let it go so far.
Qin Mingyue was about to say something, when suddenly, the maid lifted the curtain of the door, and Mingyue looked up and saw that it was her father, Qin Ping, the prince of Liguo, who came in.
Seeing her slightly drunk father, Qin Mingyue knew that her father must have used wine at the concubine's place. This father of hers has always lived among the mellow beauties, where has he ever been promising?
Qin Mingyue still respectfully greeted her father.
Qin Ping looked very happy and said to Qin Mingyue: "Mingyue, did your mother tell you what Mrs. Jinyang Hou said?" Our house has been very difficult lately, and seeing that the house we live in can't be saved, I mentioned it to you in the morning to get me an official position, but you refused again. At that time, I thought, this is not good, this house is probably going to be taken away. ”
"Who knows, Mrs. Jinyang Hou, your cousin will have this thought? Mingyue, don't be shy. Although the Marquis of Jinyang's family has not had power over the years, his family is a rich family, and the silver has gone to the sea, isn't it? As long as you agree to marry, give us 100,000 taels of silver. Tsk, that's a big deal. ”
The anger in Qin Mingyue's heart was almost uncontrollable.
Qin Ping was still saying: "Hey, with these 100,000 taels of silver, not only will our current crisis be solved, but we will also be able to purchase some industries, and we will have income in our house, and in the future, we will be able to get better little by little." ”
"Of course, marrying Hua Yixuan, the son of the Marquis of Jinyang, will not disgrace you. You've also seen your cousin's Hua Yi Xuan. He is the most beautiful man in our big week. It is also our honor to marry such a person. He is young, knighted, handsome, and the most important thing is that the one in the family is called Jinshan Yinhai. ”
Looking at the salivation on the faces of her father and mother, the anger in Qin Mingyue's heart became bigger and bigger, and as the anger increased, she could even feel the part of her heart getting cold a little bit.
In the previous life, it was also like this, in order to enjoy the public of the country, they sold her to the Jinyang Hou Mansion, not only got the 100,000 taels of silver from the Jinyang Hou Mansion, but also got a lot of silver in the follow-up, even later, Hua Yixuan wanted to take a concubine, it was very easy, as long as the silver was sent to her parents, Qin Ping and his wife would immediately find their daughter, and after some persuasion, they forced themselves to agree to give their husband a concubine.
The daughters of other families, if the husband wants to take a concubine, it is all supported by the mother's family, and the death tyrant does not give a concubine, but what about her? She is more noble than the average daughter of a family, she is a powerful national teacher, but she was also forced by her biological father to take a concubine for her husband.
Thinking about the humiliating days in her previous life, Qin Mingyue's heart was even colder. In this life, these people in the Liguo Mansion still want to do this again.
However, Qin Mingyue is no longer the person who will give in to these people with family affection and filial piety. She's already figured out how to deal with it.
Qin Mingyue was annoyed in her heart, but her face was still low-browed, and she said calmly to her father Qin Ping: "Father, since ancient times, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and daughters' marriages are naturally decided by you, mother, and grandmother." Whether you marry a prince or a commoner, your daughter will definitely obey. ”
Hearing this, Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, and Lady Yin were both happy. Unfortunately, they rejoiced too soon.
Qin Mingyue continued to speak smoothly: "However, my daughter has been recognized by the Xuangui Jade Plate. became a closed disciple of the national teacher, and in the future, as long as his daughter grows up smoothly, she must be the future national teacher. In the future, the daughter will not go out of the door like an ordinary woman, and she will not step out of the second door, and concentrate on her husband and children in the inner house. In the future, the daughter will control the power of the imperial court, calm the disaster, deal with the enemy country, appease the people, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people of the Great Zhou. ”
"Therefore, my daughter's marriage is related to the life of the world and the stability of the dynasty, I am afraid that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the marriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, my marriage is the most important."
As soon as he said this, Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, and Mrs. Yin were immediately dumbfounded.
Qin Mingyue said: "My daughter's marriage, now I am afraid that it is only for my master and the national teacher to decide it with the emperor." Even if the father and mother have a preferred candidate, they can only report to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide. Therefore, I can't be the master of this family business, so it's better for my father to make an excerpt and talk to the emperor. ”
Qin Ping's face became gloomy. Although he did not hold an official position in the court, after all, he was a child of a family and a prince of Liguo, and he still understood these minimum court rules. What the daughter said was not wrong. The daughter will be a national teacher in the future, and her marriage is more important than that of ordinary princes. Where to decide casually.
Throughout history, which of the marriages of the national teachers of the past dynasties was easily decided, and which one was not weighed repeatedly? On the contrary, the preferences of the national teachers of the parties are the least important.
Most of the teachers are men. If you have an intentional crush, however, you have not married the person you like, or the object of your marriage is not your favorite type. It doesn't matter, it's just a big deal to marry a few more beautiful concubines in the future.
There are also several female national teachers in history. If these female national teachers do not marry for life, if it is not for the marriage is not smooth, women will never be as free as men, and if they marry non-people, they will not be able to remarry. Some choose to respect each other as if they were guests, mixing with the past. Some even simply keep a few noodles by their side. But there is no one.
Mrs. Yin is a woman in the house, and she has been away from the upper class for a long time, so she naturally doesn't know what is going on, and she is not happy after hearing it: "What did you say?" The daughter I gave birth to, I can't make the decision about marriage? What is the rationale for this? Who prescribes? I'm going to talk to him. ”
Qin Mingyue was silent.
