Chapter 21: Rumors Spread
Sui He was taken down, and Qin Churan's index finger nodded lightly on the table, thoughtful.
She came to the study and wrote a letter and handed it to Jingwen: "Go find Fang Gui and ask him to send this letter back to the General's Mansion." ”
Fang Gui is Mama Fang's nephew, and he has been running errands for Yu Shi outside for the past two years.
Jingwen answered and turned to leave.
Jingwen has a feeling that Aunt Liu is likely to be unlucky.
Qin Chuyun didn't sleep well all night, and after Qin Changfeng left the house the next day, she immediately came to see Aunt Liu.
Qin Chuyun walked in a little anxiously, and saw Aunt Liu lying comfortably on the small collapse, and the maid was beating her legs, looking calm.
Qin Chuyun's originally worried heart suddenly calmed down a lot, "Auntie, I heard that Sui He was punished yesterday, will she confess to us?" What should I do then? ”
Aunt Liu touched her head, smiled slightly and said, "What are you panicking about?" It's her who makes a private agreement with someone for life, and it's good that she confesses. Then she will know that we hold her lifeblood in our hands, and if she dares to hold on to the food, I will spread the word about her and the untouchables' private life. When it comes to the reputation of the Qin family, your grandfather can't get around her first. ”
After hearing this, Qin Chuyun was immediately relieved, "If she knew that Sui He was our person and we knew her secret, she wouldn't dare to act rashly." She didn't even dare to pursue the matter of food, so she could only help us cover it up. After a pause, she looked at Aunt Liu with reverence: "Auntie, you are so smart." ”
Aunt Liu's beautiful face was full of tenderness, "So, Yun'er, the most important thing in the girl's family is reputation." Only with a good reputation can you marry a good husband and have a good future. ”
When it came to men and women, Qin Chuyun's cheeks were slightly red, she looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Is it like Aunt and Father?" ”
At the mention of Qin Changfeng, Aunt Liu's face showed smugness, "Yes." Yun'er, you remember, as long as you can capture a man's heart, it doesn't matter what means you use. However, the vision of choosing a man is also very important, the most important thing for this man is his position of power, so that he can protect you, which is your glory as a woman. Like Qin Churan, he actually chose a pariah, what future can he have? You can't learn from her. ”
Over the years, even if Aunt Liu is a concubine, she has lived like a fish in water in the Qin family, relying on Qin Changfeng's favor.
This is something that Aunt Liu has always been proud of.
Qin Chuyun was thoughtful, and she suddenly said, "Auntie, what if Qin Churan's matter spreads out and delays my reputation?" When the time comes......"
She didn't say any more, but her cheeks turned red.
Aunt Liu knew her worries, thought about it, and said, "Yun'er, don't worry, Aunt will not let anyone affect your future." When the time comes, just take this matter to your grandfather, and he will take care of the aftermath. If this matter is not spread to the outside world, how can it affect you? Just let your grandfather down in her, and that's it. ”
Qin Chuyun relieved her heart and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She frowned, and then said, "But Qin Churan's matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise my daughter is worried that she will get in my way." ”
Aunt Liu pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right, it seems that your grandmother still has to work hard." The family affair with the Chen family still has to continue. ”
The mother and daughter thought about it again and didn't mention it for the time being.
The mother and daughter's wishful thinking sounded, but within two days, something happened to the Liu family.
Shi Feng, a businessman who bought grain from the eldest master of the Liu family, surrounded the Liu family, because the grain he bought from Uncle Liu was suspected of being military food and could not leave the city. Shuntianfu also detained his other goods by the way.
Tian Feng learned from the pain and felt that this matter had to be solved from the root, so he went to Liu's mansion to cry out and beg Uncle Liu to testify for him.
The Liu family has always been from a scholarly family, but this time they were surrounded by a businessman, and the Liu family felt deeply ashamed, and the eldest master of the Liu family avoided it, so things became more and more intense.
Soon, there were rumors in Shangjing that the Liu family was the in-laws of the Qin family and deceived the merchants.
Even though Shangjing's attention was now on the snow disaster in Hebei, Qin Yuan was still keenly aware of this matter.
He immediately went to find Old Madam Qin and asked her to deal with this matter, so as not to affect the reputation of the Qin family because of her mother's affairs.
In the past two days, he has just expressed to the emperor that he is willing to donate a batch of grain to the disaster area, and the emperor is praising him. Because of him taking the lead, other officials could not sit idly by, and more or less donated some materials, which greatly reduced the pressure on the treasury.
At this time, Qin Yuan would never allow anything to affect his and the Qin family's reputation.
Old Madam Qin still felt wronged: "Old lady, this matter must be a misunderstanding." My mother's family is a scholarly family, how could she do such a thing, it must be the old lady's political enemies who are embarrassed by our Qin family. ”
Qin Yuan interrupted her impatiently: "I have already sent someone to investigate, and the grain is indeed sold by your Liu family. After a pause, a mockery appeared in his eyes: "The grain bought by the five girls has just been exchanged, and your Liu family has sold a batch of grain, so you still boast of being a scholar?" ”
Old Madam Qin's face changed suddenly.
Qin Yuan said coldly: "There is a vacancy in the household department, and I am planning to plan for Changfeng after the disaster relief. You'd better not drag him back at this time, otherwise I won't let you go. ”
Old Madam Qin was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I know, I will have someone send a message back." After a pause, she said angrily: "Old lady, this is obviously a ghost done by the Yu family." What kind of military rations, it's just the rhetoric of the Yu family. Old lady, this Yu family obviously didn't take our Qin family seriously. ”
Qin Yuan sneered, "Don't provoke this, my father-in-law is going to go one step further now." After a pause, he said: "The emperor intends to let him lead the Yan Hui army, and now the Yu family is hot." Our Qin family and the Yu family are in-laws, and they are in the same spirit, and there is no reason to be enemies. As for the Liu family......"
A gleam flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes: "You'd better think clearly, are you from the Liu family or the Qin family!" ”
As for Aunt Liu, Qin Yuan didn't even look at it. A concubine can't be called a member of the Qin family.
Old Madam Qin's face suddenly turned pale, and she secretly hated it in her heart.
Why did Qin Yuan dare to look down on the Liu family so much? Isn't it because there is no successor to the Liu family, and there are no outstanding people among the children and nephews who are studying, and there is no hope for a career in the office.
However, Yu Jia is in the limelight, and with Qin Yuan's character, he naturally will not be the enemy of Yu Jia.
Qin Yuan fell away with his sleeves gone, and Old Madam Qin almost fainted on the bed while clutching her chest.
But now that Qin Yuan is not here, and there is no junior in front of her, she is also dizzy. So Old Madam Qin sat up strongly, summoned the maid in, and asked people to invite Aunt Liu.
