Chapter 1160 Advice
Author: Loeva
Zhao Mo went to the palace again the next day, this time to Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother likes to have the younger members of the royal family chat with her, and gossip about interesting things outside. Zhao Mo just came back from Suning fiefdom, and she hasn't seen him for nearly two months. She was already thinking about it, so she went to the palace first.
One time, Zhao Mo was in a hurry to meet the emperor and the prince, so he didn't chat with her enough. So when he came into the palace this time, she held him back and said she wanted him to stay with her until lunch.
Zhao Mo originally wanted to accompany the Queen Mother to talk about the "new things" outside the palace, so after hearing this, he naturally stayed.
Then he told the Queen Mother what he had done and who he had met after returning to Beijing - of course, at a discount, and some things that the Queen Mother did not need to know were covered up by him - and he mentioned them emphatically.
I was so happy with the delicious food I had at Yongjiahou Mansion that I gossiped about a little trouble that Mrs. Niu of Yongjiahou had recently had.
Mrs. Niu, the Marquis of Yongjia, fell in love with a girl and wanted to marry her son. However, the girl was in trouble recently and her reputation was affected. Niu was interested in proposing marriage, but was afraid of her son.
I don't understand the truth and I feel unhappy, so I'm upset.
Not only Qin Bai and Niu were worried about Qin Ping's continuation of his marriage, but also the Queen Mother, Emperor and Prince in the palace. After all, he is Qin Bai's eldest son, and he is quite capable. Now he has been transferred back to the capital to serve.
Now, right under the eyes of the royal people, regardless of his temperament, character, talent, etc., he is very popular with the royal people. However, Qin Ping has no children, and his only daughter has reached the age of marriage. How can his relatives and friends not be grateful for his
Are you worried about heirs? In the past, I only heard that Qin Ping was obsessed with his deceased wife and refused to remarry. Now, seven years have passed, and Qin Ping has finally relented and is willing to marry again. Of course, everyone is very concerned about when he can complete this important event in his life.
Therefore, as soon as the Queen Mother heard that Niu had chosen a candidate for Qin Ping, she immediately asked: "Which girl is she from? What does the family do? Is she well-born? What is her temperament like?"
Zhao Mo then told her: "She is a distant cousin of Marquis Yunyang. Her family works as a military officer in the border town of Shuozhou. Her father has passed away. Now her elder brother has taken over his late father's position. There is also a younger brother who is not yet an adult. This family has
As expected of the Cai family, their behavior and temperament are all in the martial style, and they are as resolute and straightforward as Marquis Yunyang. As soon as Mrs. Yongjia Marquis saw Miss Cai, she liked her at first. After seeing her more, talking to her, and getting along with her, she felt
I like it even more."
As soon as the Queen Mother heard that the candidate Niu had chosen had such a painting style, she understood in her heart.
The Queen Mother is not very close to Niu. It's not that she has any objections to Niu. It's just that they don't have the same temperament. The Queen Mother is a typical lady daughter raised by a civil servant family, but Niu is a merchant girl and grew up in the northwest.
, although she is a daughter of a landowner, her words, deeds, and hobbies are very down-to-earth. When talking to Niu, the Queen Mother sometimes sees Niu speaking bluntly. Although she likes it, she is not used to it, and she is a little bit on behalf of Qin Bai.
It's a pity for this talented man; Niu was not used to the formal way of talking to the Queen Mother, and she was very cautious about palace etiquette. Therefore, the two of them could see each other as often as they could, but if something really happened, Niu would definitely
She treated the Queen Mother respectfully and never neglected her. The Queen Mother also had great trust in Mr. Niu, and there was no issue of contempt or neglect.
Precisely because the Queen Mother had such an understanding of the Niu family, as soon as she heard about the style of the eldest daughter-in-law she was looking for, she immediately understood what type of girl Cai Shengnan was - a female family member who had a good temperament with the Niu family.
Most of them are women from military attache families who speak and act more straightforwardly. They don't like to beat around the bush. They have decent conduct and a good heart. Since Mr. Niu likes Cai Shengnan, then Cai Shengnan must be of this type.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but dumbfounded, but she felt that the upbringing of the Cai family in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion was trustworthy. She liked Cai Yuanzhen very much. Even though Cai Sheng grew up in the border town of Shuozhou, since the Cai family can bring people to Beijing,
Mrs. Yunyang Hou also took her to attend the banquet at the Chengen Hou Mansion, which shows that this girl's upbringing and etiquette must not be bad, and she is better than when the Niu family first came to Beijing. Qin Ping is only marrying a second wife, so the girl's background does not need to be too high.
, The third wife of the Qin family has always been low-key, so it is not surprising that she would like the daughter of a low-level military attache. Anyway, the girl is of the same clan as Marquis Yunyang, so she cannot be considered a small family. The key is that the girl from the military attache's family
, and it can satisfy Mr. Niu. This girl must be a decent and healthy person. If she really marries Qin Ping, she will be more sure to give birth to a son for him as soon as possible...
The Queen Mother does not pay much attention to family background. She has just chosen a concubine for the prince with a slightly lower family background. For the sake of the eldest son of the third family of the Qin family, as long as the woman has a good character and good health, she will be better than a concubine with a lower family background.
The delicate daughter of a wealthy family was more suitable to be Qin Ping's continued marriage. She immediately asked Zhao Mo: "Since Mrs. Yongjiahou thinks this girl is good, she can just propose marriage directly. Doesn't it mean that Qin Ping is already willing to continue his marriage? Is that difficult?
If it doesn't work, are you afraid that he won't be happy to marry this girl? What kind of trouble has this girl gotten into? If it doesn't work, you can quickly choose another one, but you don't have to be too stubborn."
Zhao Mo then told the Queen Mother the reasons behind Cai Shengnan's annulment. Although the words he used were slightly biased towards the Cai family, he definitely did not spread rumors or lie. He only concealed, intentionally or unintentionally, who the Wei daughter was marrying.
The Chu family, and the fact that the Chu family was the main force against the Cai family, put all the blame on the Wei family. Afterwards, he said: "The Wei family has a grudge and has been spreading rumors outside to blame Miss Cai.
Spreading dirty water. The Yunyanghou family are all trying to help Miss Cai clear her name, but rumors... have always been easy to spread, but telling the truth is difficult."
The Queen Mother understood, and couldn't help but hug Cai Shengnan: "This girl is so pitiful, she obviously did nothing wrong! Meeting that Wei family's son is really a life-long disaster!" Then she asked, "Then the Wei family's daughter married?
Which powerful family in the capital is she? Why is she so arrogant?! Is it because her husband's family has no idea what she is doing outside, or is her husband's family really so confident that even Marquis Yunyang doesn't take it seriously?
!”
Zhao Mo showed an embarrassed look on his face and said in a nonchalant manner: "Empress Dowager, this matter... I can't confess to you. But if you ask others, you can easily find out whether the Wei family married into
Which family did you marry? In fact...if it weren't for the fact that the Wei family was so unyielding and insisted on ruining Miss Cai's marriage and making it difficult for Mrs. Yongjiahou, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter in front of you."
The Queen Mother frowned: "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that there is someone else in the world who can make you jealous? Which prince's palace is it? Or the princess's palace?" Zhao Mo shook his head. The Queen Mother thought for a while and asked again: "Could it be Tu?
Who else in the Tu family dares to do such evil things?!" Her expression became serious as she spoke.
Zhao Mo said hurriedly: "No, it's not the Tu family. Queen Mother, please don't ask. In fact... there are many people in Beijing who know about it, and I think they are all willing to tell you, but I... my situation is a bit embarrassing, it's related to
I shouldn't have had a hand in that family."
Although the Queen Mother was puzzled, she also knew that there must be a reason for Zhao Mo to say this, so she temporarily suppressed it: "Forget it, let people ask about it when we get back to the Ai family!" She then scolded Zhao Mo, "What else do you have in front of the Ai family?
What’s taboo? It’s obvious that he is separated from the Ai family!”
Zhao Mo hurriedly said many nice words to coax her. Even though the Queen Mother knew that his words were coaxing, she was still happy to hear them. As the Queen Mother got older, she naturally liked the respect, care and flattery of her juniors more.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, Zhao Mo slowly brought the topic back to the main topic: "What about Miss Cai... What does the Queen Mother think should be done? Although Cousin Ping has always been filial, as long as Yongjia
After Mrs. Hou told him the truth clearly, he would still be willing to marry a good girl with upright character as his wife, but Miss Cai's reputation was spread so badly by outsiders... Even if she married into the Yongjia Hou Mansion,
It will still lead to gossip. At that time, the gossip will not only talk about her, but even the Yongjia Marquis Mansion will be criticized. This is simply an unreasonable disaster! Whoever gets involved will be too pitiful."
The Queen Mother also sighed after hearing this: "Indeed... well, the Ai family will summon Mrs. Yunyang Hou the next day and ask her to bring the Cai Sheng boy and girl you mentioned to the palace, so that the Ai family can see it. Is it true?
Mrs. Yongjiahou said so well, she also wanted to know what was going on over there with the Wei family. It would be tragic enough for a good girl's family to be plotted like this. If it were in a border town, then the Wei family would have calculated with intention and unintentional, and suddenly used power to
The Cai family was caught off guard and fell into the trap, so that was it. But in the capital, under the eyes of Marquis Yunyang, there were still people who dared to harm his sister. This Wei family is also very courageous! Since his family
He was found to have done many illegal things, and even though Marquis Yunyang was involved in them, his family was not wronged. Those who deserved the crime should just be punished honestly. How dare they think of revenge? The Wei family's husband's family actually acted stupidly to help the tiger. On weekdays,
I don’t know how many bad things I have done. As the saying goes, those who are close to evil are evil. These two families are working together, and they are not good things. They should be investigated carefully. If they are also lawbreakers, they should be dealt with earlier.
The imperial court has a bright future!"
Zhao Mo smiled quickly and said, "The Queen Mother is wise!" He said a lot of flattery.
Although the Queen Mother was happy to hear this, she still rolled her eyes at him: "You kid, don't talk about the Ai family here! Although you have always been close to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, you are so concerned about your father-in-law's marriage. I'm afraid it's not all out of filial piety.
Right? You are worried that you are about to become the son-in-law of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. During the wedding, the Yongjia Marquis Mansion does not have a supportive matron who can help your wife with the wedding, and your wife will be wronged, aren't you? "
Zhao Mo chuckled twice and whispered: "Empress Dowager, you just need to understand. Of course I don't need to hide my little thoughts from you, but you don't need to tell others either..."
The Queen Mother liked his closeness and trust in her heart. She couldn't help but show a loving smile on her face. She stretched out her index finger and poked him in the forehead: "Little slippery head!"
