Chapter 1137 The tip of the horn

When Qin Bofu received a blow from his cousin Qin Zhonghai, his daughter Qin Jinchun also visited her cousin Qin Jinhua, and then the two sisters went to Xifu together to visit Qin Hanzhen, who had not seen him for many days.

Qin Hanzhen learned that Qin Jinchun and Cai Shiqi had officially arranged their marriage, and he was also happy for her: "I can feel relieved. Although I knew that the Cai family would not change their mind, but before the formal appointment was made, they always

It makes people worry that something will happen.”

Qin Jinchun blushed and said: "There is no accident. It's just that my father was not satisfied at first. He was still talking about the fact that the Yunyang Houfu was unwilling to help Cousin Lu for his sake. But now he has Pei Jiateng.

He had regained his official position, and he no longer cared about those things as much as before. He also thought that in the future, he would no longer be separated from the Lu family, but actually become an in-law with the Cai family, so that he could take advantage of the influence of Marquis Yunyang.

, to add some bargaining chips for his promotion in Honglu Temple. Later, my grandmother jumped out and objected. In order to maintain the dignity of his family, my father agreed to the marriage more readily. "

Qin Han was really surprised: "Uncle, you still want to take advantage of Marquis Yunyang's power? This won't bring you trouble, right?"

Qin Jinchun was not very worried: "It's okay. My father also wanted to take advantage of the power of the eldest brother and the third brother, but when did he succeed? Honglu Temple is a Qingxian Yamen, and the minister of Honglu Temple is still a disciple of Pei Guogong during his lifetime. Even if his father

If he really causes any trouble, someone will help him deal with the aftermath." She felt that this was nothing. The Pei family desperately wanted to marry the daughter of the Qin family, so they had to do something for the Qin family. Besides, her father was not the kind of willful person.

For a person, the troubles he gets into are limited and not serious. And Qin Jinchun believes that as long as she can fulfill her responsibilities after marrying into the Cai family in the future and satisfy the Yunyang Marquis Mansion and the Cai family, then she will

It's not that the Cai family doesn't know what kind of person her father is if her father makes a small mistake, it's just harmless.

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "It would be good if my uncle could stay in Honglu Temple forever. He has no power in the yamen, and he has no way to make big mistakes." Moreover, it is still a non-executive position, just an assistant.

.If something really happened, he would not end up as the scapegoat alone.

Besides, although there are a few unscrupulous people in the Qin family, the emperor and the prince usually look down upon them, but if their lives are really threatened, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, most of the nobles in the palace will turn a blind eye.

One eye cannot really kill any Qin family member.

In this way, Uncle Pei can be regarded as doing a good thing. He not only fulfilled Qin Bofu's wish, but also changed him to a more "safe" official position, which was more "safe" than Qin Bofu's previous position.

Qin Jinhua interjected: "It's just that my uncle's rank is lower than before. My father told my mother privately that my uncle's approach was a bit unwise. It's easy to go down to this level, but it's difficult to go up again. Especially

Yes...my uncle was originally promoted very slowly." Each level takes many years.

Qin Jinchun said: "My father has been idle at home for a long time. As long as he can be an official again, he won't care much about this demotion to half a rank. Moreover, he also said that when Uncle Pei gave him this vacancy, he also told him

He, there is an elder in Honglu Temple, he is a fifth-rank official, and he is about to retire. As soon as he retires and the position becomes vacant, my father will have a good chance to fill it. It is because of Uncle Pei's words that my father

He immediately took over the position of the sixth rank. But..." she paused, "I think Uncle Pei's words were a bit untrue. In fact, although the old man planned to retire, that would only be after the expiration of three years.

He is not yet sixty years old and is still in good health. Originally, if Duke Pei had not passed away at this time, the person who would have succeeded him would have been Uncle Pei. The Minister of Honglu Temple was a disciple of Duke Pei, and everyone in this position would have been there for a long time.

Things are ready. However, Uncle Pei has to observe filial piety for three years, and the changes in three years are too big. If the person who takes over Uncle Pei's position is not his father, but someone else, in these three years, once he does well, he will be evaluated every year.

If he has a good background or has the support of connections, the position of the old man in three years may not be in Uncle Pei's pocket. No matter how much the minister of Honglu Temple helps Uncle Pei, he cannot ignore his own

Reputation, right? My father made up for it at this time, blocking others' Qingyun Road, and thus saving Uncle Pei's future."

As for three years later, will Qin Bofu get the promotion he wants and occupy the official position that Uncle Pei is optimistic about? With the minister of Honglu Temple here, isn't the result obvious? Not to mention that Uncle Pei's evaluation every year is excellent, Qin Bofu's

But there was a stain on his resume. He was once punished for poor performance and lived in idle life. He didn't look like someone who was qualified for promotion. Three years later, Uncle Pei returned from Xiaoman and was successfully promoted to the fifth rank.

If Qin Bofu is lucky, he may be able to move up a level and work as a sixth-grade official in another yamen; if he is unlucky, it is normal for him to continue to waste his time in his current position and become a subordinate of his in-laws. Then

He has really wasted the past few years, but what can he do?

If the Pei family really wants to send their daughter to the East Palace, the Pei family may still have some scruples and be more polite to Uncle Qin. At worst, Uncle Pei will find another place to go. But if the daughter of the Pei family has no hope of entering the East Palace, Qin Uncle will be cheated, and the Qin family will be cheated.

Will Fang and Sanfang still support him? But he took over the position vacated by Uncle Pei without consulting anyone at the beginning. Who can blame him?

Qin Jinchun said to his two cousins: "I only mentioned these things to my mother at home, but I didn't dare to explain them too clearly, for fear that she would be worried and spill the beans in front of my father. In front of my father,

I couldn't say a word. Especially after the news about the newly hired Chen Liangyuan came out, I went to the East Palace again. I felt that the second girl of the Pei family probably wouldn't be able to get what she wanted. Unless the East Palace's

I'm really unlucky and can't have a baby within three years, so maybe the day will come when it's the turn of the second girl from the Pei family."

Qin Jinhua said hurriedly: "Have you been to the East Palace? What do you think when the princess knows about Xin Liangyuan?"

"I've been there. As soon as I got engaged, I reported the matter to the Crown Princess and Princess Minshun within two days." Qin Jinchun smiled sheepishly, "Both nobles were very happy for me, and they also

She rewarded me with many things. Princess Minshun said that when I get married, she will give me another gift, and maybe she can ask the Queen Mother to agree to come out of the palace to congratulate me."

Princess Minshun didn't have any opinion on the newcomer Chen Liangyuan. Although they both had the surname Chen, Chen Liangyuan left a far better impression on her than Chen Liangdi. According to Princess Minshun, Chen Liangyuan was a bit silly and a bit naive girl, "

"I have grown so big for nothing," but her temper is as soft as cotton. Even if she warned her face to face with insinuations, she would still smile. She was a girl who grew up pampered by her family, so she didn't know the fireworks of the world. She was not obedient.

The princess also admitted that Chen Liangyuan had a very pleasant temperament and was very beautiful, fair and tender. She couldn't help but pinch Chen Liangyuan's face twice, and was scolded by Princess Tang.

Princess Tang's attitude towards Chen Liangyuan was much colder. Although the temperament of the other party was obviously very different from Chen Liangdi's, she still seemed to think that the two were the same type of people, and she was still wary and unwilling to let her daughter

Contact each other. As for whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will favor Chen Liangyuan? Crown Princess Tang did not express any opinions on this. She is still ill and has not been able to go out to pay respects to the Queen Mother for some days. Princess Minshun is privately uneasy

, but I was relieved to see that the Queen Mother still cared about the Crown Princess and didn't mean to take offense.

Qin Jinchun whispered to the two cousins: "I think the Crown Princess seems to have gone too far. The princess complained to me privately. The Crown Princess mentioned that Chen Liangyuan's dress when she entered the East Palace to meet her was a bit like Chen Liangdi's dress in her boudoir.

When I was in the middle of the year, I went to visit her and promised to marry her into the East Palace. She was dressed very similar to her. They were all water-red dresses, pearl jewelry, and even her hair was combed into a Japanese bun. The Crown Princess became a little angry when she saw it.

.But... there are so many girls wearing water red dresses, Japanese buns, and pearl jewelry. I went to the East Palace dressed like this twice, and I didn't see the Crown Princess being angry with me at that time...

"

Of course, a person who thinks too much cannot speculate in the same way as a normal person. Crown Princess Tang was originally reluctant to participate in the draft, but now the candidate was selected by the Queen Mother and the Emperor over her without her inspection and consent.

How could she be attracted to Chen Liangyuan? As for the reason for her dislike, it was probably just an excuse.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Chen Liangyuan, a charming and naive girl with such a little back, dressed like Chen Liangdi when she was in the boudoir, and went to see the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess recalled the past and thought about the food that Chen Liangdi once gave her.

After all the hardships, don't you just vent your anger? I hope that if the wives and concubines get along for a long time in the future, the Crown Princess can calm down. Whether Chen Liangyuan is really pure and kind-hearted, or she is pretending, she is just

She is regarded as a reproductive tool by the royal family, and her status is not comparable to that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's original wife. The Crown Prince can survive to this day for the sake of his wife, and only then decides to recruit new people for the sake of the stability of the country. It can be imagined that the Crown Prince values ​​​​the Crown Princess.

How could a new Liang Yuan threaten the status of the Crown Princess?

But if the princess herself makes a mistake and offends the queen mother and the emperor, it will be difficult to say.

Qin Hanzhen said to Qin Jinchun: "You can talk to me and my second sister about these matters in the East Palace in private, but it is best not to spread them out. On weekdays, in front of Princess Minshun, you can excuse her, but do not interfere in the backyard of the East Palace.

Struggle. Our family says they are royal relatives, but in fact they are just outsiders. The matters in the inner courtyard of His Royal Highness are not our business."

Qin Jinchun gave her an angry look: "Third sister, you are too worried. How can I still not understand this truth? If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't say these things to you. I didn't even see the girls in your house.

Have you kicked her out? It was because Feng'er was tight-lipped that I left her guarding the door." She has been in and out of the palace all year round, and she has actually developed a habit of being cautious. Even when she is talking to two close cousins,

In fact, many secrets revealed by Princess Minshun have been covered up.

Qin Jinhua said with a smile: "Come on, let's change the topic? It's rare for sisters to get together once. Next, the fourth sister will prepare to get married, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come over to play all the time."

Qin Jinchun said: "I haven't even got haircut yet. I won't get married until at least next year. What's the hurry? My two sisters are getting married this year. I'm afraid you are busier than me."

The three sisters laughed and laughed for a while before Qin Jinchun said: "By the way, that day in the suburbs, Cousin Lu told me about some unpleasant things that happened to the Cai family a few days ago. Have you heard about it?"
