Chapter 1184 Questioning
Zhao Mo waited for several days and heard no new movement from Cining Palace.
Chu Yuniang still stayed in the palace, accompanying the Queen Mother to copy scriptures and worship Buddha. It seemed that nothing had happened, except that the Queen Mother's attitude towards her was a little colder. But the Crown Princess seemed to like her very much and always called her every three or two days.
Speaking in the past. Judging from the attitude and tone of the people in the palace, it seems that Chu Yuniang has already entered the East Palace as a concubine, and now she is staying in Cining Palace just to go through the process.
Zhao Mo felt depressed. Although he had never reported the strangeness of Chu Yuniang's life experience to the Queen Mother, but just looking at her daily behavior habits, he knew that she must not be in line with the Queen Mother's wishes.
They were sent away, but the Queen Mother made no move. Could it be that Chu Yuniang was really capable and could coax the Queen Mother into submission?
Although Zhao Mo was depressed, he didn't take this matter too seriously. No news came back from Longdong for a while, and the clues in the capital were not enough. Even if he ran to the palace now,
Tell the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Prince, and Chu Yuniang that there is a problem. The Chu family is suspected of cheating the emperor. There is no evidence and nothing can be proved. On the contrary, it will put yourself in trouble.
He had better collect evidence secretly first. If Chu Yuniang was really lucky enough to become the woman of His Highness, there would be nothing she could do. His Highness has never been a lustful person. No matter how capable Chu Yuniang was, she would never let His Highness do it for her.
You are confused. At worst, you will present the evidence to His Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness the Crown Prince deal with it yourself. It is actually not difficult for the palace to make a person disappear without arousing anyone's suspicion. Maybe the Crown Princess will feel sad,
But I believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to appease her. At worst, he can just allow her to choose a more reliable Liang Yuan in the future.
Zhao Mo continued to send people to pay attention to the movements around the Shu Prince's Mansion and Gu Changshi's family. By the way, he sent a few more people to keep an eye on the Chu family, and then continued to do what he should do. He is also very busy now, don't look at him like
He went to his fiancée's house every now and then. In fact, for his wedding, it could be said that he was not idle every day.
Zhao Mo was not idle, and the Qin family was no exception. While he was busy investigating Chu Yu's mother, the Qin family had officially made a marriage contract between Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan. Immediately afterwards, the Tang family also completed
During the engagement ceremony between Tang Han and Qin Jinhua, the betrothal gift was sent to the Chengenhou Mansion. A double happiness came to the Chengenhou Mansion. For half a month, the whole family was very happy.
Just because the whole family was rejoicing, Qin Youzhen expressed that she was worried that her husband Lu Pu and his eldest son Lu Chuming would be left in Changlu without anyone to take care of them. She wanted to take her younger son back to reunite with her, and wait until Qin Jinhua got married before going to Beijing to have a wedding banquet.
, Mrs. Xu could not raise any objection even if she was unwilling. Qin Youzhen's excuse was fair enough, and she had no reason to stop her. She could only play up the old man's willful temper, dragging Lu Chuliang and refusing to let him go.
Lu Chuliang was a little confused, but he thought that Mrs. Xu had always loved him, thought of him in everything, and took good care of his life, so he couldn't bear to reject the old man. He told his mother Qin Youzhen: "Uncle
Grandma can't bear to leave me, so I'll just stay with her in the capital for one more month. When mother comes back for the wedding banquet next time, it will be the same if I go to Changlu with you."
Qin Youzhen's tears were about to fall. She knew clearly what was going on, but she couldn't tell the truth to her youngest son. In desperation, she had no choice but to look at Mrs. Xu with a nonchalant expression: "In that case, this child
Just ask my uncle..." In fact, she had already made up her mind. When she returns to Beijing next time, she must bring her eldest son Lu Chuming over and settle the marriage as soon as possible, lest the day when the Xu family's filial piety comes closer day by day, she still
She has to worry all day long that her aunt will make excessive demands one day. She wants to refuse, but she is also afraid that her aunt will not forgive her and call her an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
She didn't want to be a white-eyed wolf, but she didn't want her husband and children to sacrifice for the kindness she owed her. She would rather support her mother-in-law for the rest of her life than marry a daughter-in-law of the Xu family, unless Xu Xiu could truly be with her mother-in-law after she got married.
Disconnect.
After Xu detained Lu Chuliang, Qin Youzhen finally left the capital smoothly. But this was only temporary. She could not be absent from the wedding between Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua; when Qin Hanzhen got married, she wanted to go to Beijing to congratulate her; even when Qin Jinchun got married
, she might have to show her face, unlike when Qin Jinyi married into the Pei family, because the marriage was decided too hastily, she still got the letter after the fact, sent someone to send a congratulatory gift to Qin Jinyi, and showed off in front of the Pei family.
Qin Jinyi's face was lost. Qin Jinchun married into the Cai family, and Qin Youzhen's daughter was the daughter-in-law of the Cai family. She was an in-law of both men and women at the same time. It would be too rude not to show her face.
It was because he knew that she couldn't run away and would have to return to the capital in a few days that Mrs. Xu would let her go. Even Mrs. Yao could see this and was very disapproving of it. When chatting with her sisters-in-law in private,
, and even complained to her mother-in-law about this matter.
I don’t know since when, the daughters-in-law of the three houses of the Qin family have had the habit of getting together and chatting from time to time. The sisters-in-law take turns hosting, and there is no need to hold a big banquet, even if it is just a few cups of fragrant tea, and two more
The plate of dried fruits can be regarded as a host. The Yao family, the Min family, Cai Shengnan and Xiao Feng family are all of the same status. Each has a big responsibility but has a little free time, even when discussing business matters.
Talking about everyday things is also a good way to relax, and it can also strengthen the friendship between the four of them, erasing all the previous unfamiliarity and resentment.
At such a gathering, the girls and women will not be present, and no matter who among the four speaks, the others will not leak it to the elders. This gives them a place where they can safely speak their minds, luck.
If you are good, you can also get unexpected help from your sister-in-law. For example, when Mrs. Yao was preparing a dowry for her daughter, she borrowed Qin Hanzhen’s dowry list from Cai Shengnan, even though it was impossible for her to prepare her daughter’s wedding according to that list.
, it can be used as a reference after all, right?
Precisely because Cai Shengnan gave the list readily and gave Yao a lot of practical and useful ideas, Yao became more and more kind to Cai Shengnan. Compared with Min's boring temperament and Xiao Feng's low background and low knowledge.
, and the weakness of the second wife, Xiao Xue, Yao felt that Cai Shengnan was the only one among her sisters-in-law who could be equal to her. The previous contempt was long gone, and now she and Cai Shengnan are the best confidants.
She dared to say anything to her mother-in-law with confidence and boldness. Anyway, the other party was very tight-lipped, and words that should not be leaked would never be spread.
Cai Shengnan always smiled in response to this. Many of Yao's words went in one ear and came out in the other. If Yao's words were too biased, she would help with a few words of persuasion. But if Yao got into trouble,
Even though she has a sharp horn, she won't forcefully change the other person's mind.
On this day, the four sisters-in-law gathered together to talk again. This time, it was still about Qin Jinhua's dowry. Mrs. Yao was determined to let her daughter marry in a glorious manner. After seeing Qin Hanzhen's dowry list, she became even more concerned.
She was determined to prepare ten miles of red makeup for her daughter. However, this kind of thing was not as easy as she thought? It is not like there is gold and silver in the Chengenhou Mansion. Besides, preparations for Qin Jian's marriage will start soon, and there are still
Qin Su and Qin Shun, who were born as concubines, were about to get married. They had so many places to spend money. How could they all be spent on Qin Jinhua? In order to spend as little money as possible in exchange for the richest dowry possible, the Yao family
I have been the host three times and asked my sisters-in-law to give me advice.
At this time, little Xue from the second room also rushed over. She lived far away and had few contacts, so she did not attend every gathering of her sisters-in-law. However, today she came here specifically to ask for help.
She first told her sisters-in-law: "The marriage between Sister Chun and Cai Shiqi has been officially decided. The Cai family has just sent us a betrothal gift, and the marriage certificate is also available. Now we just have to wait until the end of the year for Sister Chun to get hairpins."
She paused and said, "The Cai family... seems to be in a hurry to marry Cai Shiqi. Mrs. Cai San asked me if she could hold the wedding before the new year? If she thinks it's too late, she can do it after the new year. In the end,
It's good that we can get married before spring..."
When Mr. Xue said this, he glanced at Cai Shengnan subconsciously. Cai Shengnan did not move, but calmly put down the tea bowl in his hand.
Yao's face showed doubts: "Didn't we agree before that we will get married next year? Although the wedding will be held before the spring, it is a little rushed, but it is not out of line, right? My sister-in-law thinks there is something wrong.
What?"
"That's not what I meant..." Mr. Xue hesitated, "Cai Shiqi... seems to have just been promoted to an official and transferred to Liaodong to be a member of a thousand households. Although he was promoted, he became a
Thousand households are rare in the army, but... I heard that there is not much peace in Liaodong, and I am a little worried that Cai Shiqi... he will be in danger!"
Cai Shengnan looked at Xiao Xue: "Sister-in-law, since it's a promotion, it's a good thing. There hasn't been a war in this dynasty for decades, so why isn't it the same where we are transferred? Liaodong is closer to the capital. Compared with the northwest, it seems that
It is also a little richer, but the winter is bitterly cold, but the life may not be bad. It is human nature for the sister-in-law to worry about her son-in-law, but she is so good, how can she think that he is in danger? Of course, the border army cannot say that there is no danger at all, but the army
If the middle-aged man doesn't take risks and just relies on qualifications, when will he be able to get ahead one day? Seventeen's official career is going smoothly, my sister-in-law should be happy for him?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..." Mr. Xue hesitated for a long time before finally asking what he really wanted to ask, "Since Cai Shiqi was transferred to Liaodong, even next year
If you can return to Beijing in time to get married, what will Sister Chun do after the wedding? Should she stay in the capital and guard the family, not knowing when she will be reunited with her husband, or...should she go to Liaodong with her to suffer?"
What she is really worried about is her own daughter!
