Chapter 1133 Selected
On the way back to Duke Pei's mansion, Qin Jinyi looked at her husband Pei Cheng, who was in the car with her, several times. It was so obvious that even Pei Cheng, who was as slow as he was, noticed it: "Madam, do you have something to say to me?"
Qin Jinyi cleared her throat and said softly: "Yes... Mr. Cheng, I wonder if you heard anything from my father? My sister... the fourth sister seems to be going to talk to Cai Shi from the Yunyang Marquis Mansion."
Seven is engaged. When my grandmother told me just now, she really shocked me!"
"Cai Shiqi?!" Pei Cheng was very surprised. He thought of his sister Pei Yin's inappropriate words and deeds in refusing to marry, and coughed twice uncomfortably, "So it's him? He and his sister-in-law are quite suitable for this marriage.
fine."
Qin Jinyi pursed her lips: "I didn't expect the fourth sister to agree on the marriage so quickly. I thought...she should have just discussed the marriage with you..."
Pei Cheng laughed dryly: "This... was the idea of the elders. In fact, I have never met my sister-in-law. My father and mother did have a crush on her, but at that time it was just a private conversation between the two families, and there was no news.
I have never publicized it. Now that I am married to you, why are I bringing up the past? You are my wife. It is a good thing that my sister-in-law can get married to Cai Shiqi. Her marriage is going well, so you can rest assured.
, isn’t it?”
I wish her marriage would not go smoothly, at least not as smoothly as mine, and not as well as mine!
Such a thought flashed through Qin Jinyi's mind. There was no abnormality on her face, but the words in her mouth did not seem to be in favor of her sister's marriage: "I always feel that there is something inappropriate about this marriage. My father only wants the Yunyang Marquis Mansion to be prominent.
So he agreed to the marriage proposal from the Cai family, but Cai Shiqi was just the distant nephew of Marquis Yunyang, and he usually stayed with Crown Prince Cai to do some assisting things. As you know, my cousin Lu is married to Crown Prince Cai.
Now that the fourth sister has remarried, it can be regarded as a close relationship. But... we are already in-laws, is it necessary to have a further close relationship? Cai Shiqi's identity seems to be a bit incompatible with my fourth sister. Marrying such a person
Man, what will the fourth sister do in the future? I feel aggrieved for her. I want to persuade my father, but he won't listen."
Pei Chengdao: "There is nothing wrong with Cai Shiqi. Although he is only the distant nephew of Marquis Yunyang, he has been raised in Yunyang Marquis' Mansion since he was a child, so he is no different from his biological son. He is very close to the brothers Cai Shizi and Cai Shijue.
, no one in the Yunyang Hou family dared to underestimate him. I also heard that Yunyang Hou valued him very much. Although he is only serving as a seventh-grade military attache in the city guard, he will soon be promoted to a sixth-grade military officer.
, he may have to go to the border town next year. If he can make military exploits in the border town, Cai Shiqi's future will be limitless. If my sister-in-law marries him, she will definitely get a royal title, and this marriage is very good."
Because Pei Yin offended the Cai family by refusing to marry, Pei Guogong's government paid special attention to a lot of information about Cai Shiqi in private, so Pei Cheng knew in his heart how outstanding and promising this young man was who had no relationship with his sister.
He couldn't say anything, but in his heart he really sighed at the vision and luck of the second wife of the Qin family.
A powerful relative is a powerful relative. He could see Cai Shiqi's potential at a glance and get such a good son-in-law. Who said that the second wife of the Qin family is the weakest among the three heads of the Qin family? It doesn't matter whether it's Lu Pu or Cai Shiqi.
Well, they all have a bright future. With such in-laws, the Qin family's second wife will only be stable and wealthy in the future. No one dares to underestimate them.
At the same time, Pei Cheng also felt that the pressure on his shoulders increased instantly. He was also the second son-in-law of the Qin family, and he seemed to be much worse than his predecessor Lu Pu and his future brother-in-law Cai Shiqi. He didn't even know his future.
Can I become an official with grace and become a minor official? Before my grandfather died, the emperor came to visit him. At that time, he only promised a favor, but did not say which descendant of the family would get it. Maybe it was him,
Maybe he is the second cousin, or even the two younger cousins of the third brother. Pei Cheng is not sure, but he has made little achievements in the imperial examination. He failed to pass the imperial examination and failed to enter the Imperial Academy. He has no skills in riding and archery.
It's mediocre, and there is no hope of taking the path of a military attaché... Do we really have to wait until the third brother's cousin enters the palace and becomes a noble, and then rely on the mercy of the third brother and get a false position as a relative? Isn't this too useless?
Pei Cheng was immersed in his own thoughts and worried about his future. Qin Jinyi, however, failed to understand his mood at all and instead felt unhappy because of his answer.
Cai Shiqi has a bright future? Is he highly regarded by the Yunyang Hou family? This is not the answer she wants to hear! She even hopes to hear that her sister is going to marry a poor loser and will never be able to get ahead in her life.
Kowtow in front of her! Qin Jinchun is inferior to her sister in everything, how can he have a more prosperous future than her?!
Qin Jinyi couldn't help but interrupt Pei Cheng's thoughts: "Cai Shiqi is going to the border town? Going to the battlefield? If my sister really marries him, won't she have to suffer along with her?! What if Cai Shiqi has someone in the future?
Anyway, what can I do if it makes her a widow? This marriage is very mismatched in the first place. My sister is so wronged. It is really not cost-effective to take such a big risk for a single fate. If there is any way to stop it,
This marriage will be fine."
Pei Cheng frowned and said, "This is not appropriate. Since it is a marriage decided by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, Cai Shiqi has nothing wrong with her, so how can she rashly stop it? After all, the wife is just a married sister, and it is not good for her to interfere in the life-long affairs of her natal sister.
Besides, the Cai family values Cai Shiqi very much. If my wife acts recklessly and offends the Cai family, she will be in trouble! It’s better for me not to act rashly."
He paused for a moment and said, "My younger sister, Sister Yin, once made some disparaging remarks about Cai Shiqi because of inappropriate words. As a result, the Cai family still holds a grudge. No matter how careful my sister is to please her, she cannot get the Cai family's forgiveness.
My grandmother, father, mother, uncles and aunts have scolded my sister countless times in private because of this matter. I must not follow in my sister's footsteps and attract the blame of the elders in the family."
Qin Jinyi really doesn't know about this matter. Although she knows that the Pei family is very polite to her, after all, her ability to marry into this family is the result of her calculation. She should be more lovable instead of being in love with her.
He committed suicide unscrupulously in front of his great-grandson of the Pei family...
She gritted her teeth and decided to endure it, at least not to expose her true nature too much until she gave birth to a son for Pei Cheng. Besides, even if Qin Jinchun married Cai Shiqi, he might not be able to live a good life.
Did he die on the border?
The young couple returned to Duke Pei's mansion. After getting out of the car and walking into the courtyard of the big house, Qin Jinchun couldn't help but sigh. From this moment on, she would take off her jeweled clothes and put on coarse linen clothes.
, serving Duke Pei as a filial piety. Even if she can temporarily escape from the hard tasks of crying and keeping vigil because she has to "recuperate", the life of being a filial piety is still very difficult. This is the biggest shortcoming of this marriage in the Pei family.
However, for the sake of future wealth and glory, she can only endure the past.
Although it is really unbearable. After all, Qin Jinyi has never suffered like this since she was born.
Before they returned to the courtyard, the girl next to Grandma Pei blocked the young couple's way: "The eldest young master, the eldest young mistress, the old lady asked everyone in each room to wait in the main courtyard to discuss important matters. Except for the second girl and the two young ladies,
The young master is still guarding the mourning hall. Everyone else has passed by, including the eldest master and grandma. They are just waiting for the eldest young master and eldest grandma."
Pei Cheng was surprised. Before going out today, he didn't hear anything urgent. He asked what was wrong.
The girl replied: "It is said that it is a draft in the East Palace. The first person has been selected and will enter the palace soon. The old lady sent people to inquire about the noble man and was about to go with the whole family.
Let’s discuss countermeasures.”
Sending the second girl Pei to the East Palace as a concubine is the top priority for the Pei family besides the funeral of the old Duke. Pei Cheng understands the importance and hurriedly said: "I'll be there right away."
After the girl left, he said to his newlywed wife: "What's going on? I haven't heard about the East Palace draft before. Our family is still waiting for the palace to issue a selection order, and someone has already been selected?"
I don’t know whose girl is so lucky.”
Qin Jinyi was feeling guilty. She was a new daughter-in-law. Logically speaking, she could be called to attend family meetings because her status was accepted, which was a good thing. But she didn't want to go. If the Pei family was stimulated by the news, let her help.
After one year of mourning, what should I do if I send Miss Pei to the East Palace? How could she have such ability? The second and third bedrooms of the Qin family are not that close!
In order to avoid such requests from her in-laws and elders, Qin Jinyi gave up: "My legs hurt a little... I won't go. Cheng Lang will tell me when he comes back. What did you discuss?"
Pei Cheng was still very concerned about his wife's injury: "It doesn't matter, right? I saw that you had nothing unusual except for some difficulty walking along the way. I thought you were fine."
Qin Jinyi laughed twice: "In front of outsiders, I must persist, but my injury is not healed yet. It hurts so much that I was the one holding on."
Pei Cheng immediately relaxed: "Then you go back to your room quickly. I will explain it to you in front of your grandmother, father, mother, uncles and aunts. You should rest carefully. If anything is wrong, ask someone to call a doctor immediately."
He told the two girls, "Have a good time serving the young mistress."
Qin Jinyi instantly became weak and went back to the hospital with the support of the two girls. Pei Cheng turned around and walked directly towards the family meeting place without even bothering to change his clothes.
The Pei family has been paying close attention to the news about the draft in the East Palace, and has also opened up the door to the Tang family. If the selection has already started in the palace, there is no reason that their family will not receive any news. They once complained that the draft process was too slow,
But now they are complaining that the draft process is too fast. Why doesn't it drag on for months or even a year?
And whose daughter is the selected girl? How was she selected? What is this girl's background? What are her strengths? Why was she chosen by the palace?
Even if the second girl Pei is still unable to apply for the election because of her filial piety, the Pei family must find out this information clearly. They need to know how the second girl Pei is worse than the selected girl, and how she is better than the other girl.
, take advantage of this year to practice more and improve herself. In this way, she can be more confident that she will be successfully selected into the East Palace after Xiaoman, become the woman of His Royal Highness, and realize the dream of the Duke Pei's family.
