Chapter 1185 Worry

Author: Loeva

No wonder Mrs. Xue is so worried. Now she puts all her maternal love on her youngest daughter Qin Jinchun, hoping that Qin Jinchun will live a good life. She is naturally very happy to be able to say that this is a good marriage in the Cai family, but if

The price of marrying into a wealthy family is that mother and daughter are separated from each other, and the younger daughter has to go to a bitter and cold place to suffer, and risks being widowed. That is another matter.

Mrs. Xue would rather her daughter marry an ordinary person, live a peaceful life, and the couple grow old together.

However, not all the sisters-in-law here can understand her worries.

Xiao Feng comforted her: "Although the job of city guard is good, if Cai Shiqi has been working as a follower around Crown Prince Cai, it will be difficult for him to get ahead one day. If he is transferred to the border army and garrisoned for a few years, as long as he has made meritorious service, he will be able to succeed."

It will be easy for him to be transferred back to the capital, and he will be promoted in the future. Cai Shiqi has the Yunyang Marquis Mansion with his back, so he has no worries about being appreciated. What he lacks is just seniority and merit. The Yunyang Marquis arranged such an errand for his nephew because he was intentional.

We need to cultivate him. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the border army sounds dangerous. In fact, there are not many enemy attacks throughout the year. All that come are small groups. Once the big army is dispatched, it will be subdued within two days. I am in Datong

It’s not like I haven’t seen it before, and I was quite scared at first. I didn’t expect that the enemy was wiped out without even touching the gate of Datong City. It was a waste of worry. Our fifth master spent more time on it.

In terms of military training, we may not encounter enemy attacks even once a year. I heard that there will be more wars in Yulin, but they are just sporadic small battles."

Cai Shengnan also said: "That's right. Don't think Shi Qi is just the distant nephew of Marquis Yunyang, but he grew up in Yunyang Marquis' Mansion. To say that he is the biological son of Marquis Yunyang and his wife is nothing more than that. Cai Shengnan

The elders value him very much and will not arrange for him to go to a particularly dangerous place. They are waiting for him to grow up in the future and become the pillar of the Cai family. Moreover, not only the Cai family, but also the Min family, Ma family, etc.

Wait, who of the children who really want to make some achievements in the military want to go to the border town? Staying in the capital is certainly comfortable and peaceful, but you can rise through the qualifications until your hair turns gray.

, he may not be able to have the fourth or fifth rank, how can he compare with the glory of the generals who came back from the border town? Not to mention our eldest son, it is the fifth master, so why not? Everyone is taking this path, and sisters-in-law don’t have to worry too much

Passed."

Mrs. Yao smiled and pushed Mr. Xue: "With such a promising son-in-law, what do you have to worry about? Just wait for him to earn a job for your fourth girl and come back! The son-in-law's current official position, in terms of grade, is

He is already above the eldest brother-in-law, but the glory of your fourth girl is still to come!"

Min said: "If the four girls are afraid of the danger in the border town, the worst they can do is stay in the capital to look after the family and not follow them to Liaodong. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Except for the general who leads the army, he must leave his family members in the capital. Ordinary military attachés

It is common for young couples to stay by their side, or to leave their wives at home to support their parents-in-law. It’s just that young couples have been separated for a long time, and their relationship is estranged. What if Cai Shiqi, a young man, has a strong firepower and cannot hold it back for a while?

It would be troublesome to find a concubine to share the same room with. I am afraid that the elders on the husband's side will not speak for the fourth girl. Therefore, after she gets married, it is best for her to follow Cai Shiqi and take care of the man's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It's the same thing, but helping to manage official interactions can also save men a lot of effort."

Several daughters-in-law of the Qin family, the Min family was a general, Cai Shengnan and Xiao Feng had many years of experience in border towns, and they could provide experience to Xiao Xue as a reference. They really didn't think that Cai Shiqi was sent to Liaodong to station on the border.

, what’s the big deal? At most, Liaodong is colder than Datong and Shuozhou, so you may not be used to it in winter. But Liaodong has been at peace for a long time, and the Liao Palace where they were previously stationed is quite wealthy, so the garrison’s life is not easy.

Not to mention that Cai Shiqi didn't come from an ordinary family. With Marquis Yunyang's status, prestige and connections in the army, were he still afraid that his young couple would suffer if they passed by?

However, little Xue's mood did not calm down much because of the persuasion of her sisters-in-law. She knew that what others said was not actually the same thing as what she was really worried about.

After much hesitation, she frankly expressed her biggest worry: "When Sister Yi got married, people from my natal family came to sit at the table. Later... our wife reconciled with our natal family...

My uncle came to our house a few days ago and mentioned it. He said he got the news from some merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that the capital here... seems to be specially purchasing large quantities of summer and autumn grains, except for leaving enough for their own use in various places. This year

At least half of the grain produced has a buyer, the contract has been signed, and the government has come forward as a guarantee. All of this grain has to be shipped to Liaodong. My uncle saw the border war when he was a child.

The situation of transporting military grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north made him think that Liaodong was preparing for war. He thought that this might be a way to make money. The court wanted grain, and the Xue family also had grain. They could also go to Lingnan and Min to collect grain. If he could follow

When the imperial court does business, you can not only make money, but also sell it to the imperial court. Therefore, I came to my house to inquire and asked if my family could get involved... How could I know about this kind of thing? Just go to Liaodong.

A large amount of food was transported to the border, but the imperial court came forward and said that there was going to be a war. How could people not worry?"

If her son-in-law had to be transferred to Liaodong to station for a few years in peacetime, she might be reluctant to leave her daughter and worry about how her daughter and son-in-law would live in other places, but she would never be worried to the extent that she wishes she had not arranged such a marriage at home.

That's a war! What if something happens to Cai Shiqi? What will happen to my daughter in this life?! Although glory and wealth are good, you have to have a life to enjoy them!

Only then did the sisters-in-law understand what little Mrs.

No..." It suddenly occurred to her that the Yao family could not reach the center of power, and the Wang family... Since the death of my grandfather, my grandmother had closed the door to thank guests, and the eldest brother had withdrawn directly to his hometown, and it was impossible to get the news. She sipped

She pursed her lips, not wanting her sisters-in-law to find out that she had no confidence, so she forced a smile and added: "Could it be that the Liaodong Army had a deficit before, and now it is rushing to collect grain to make up for it? Otherwise, how about it?

Can you fight? Beirong and our court have been in peace for thirty or forty years!"

Cai Shengnan and Min looked at her together and did not answer her words.

Xiao Feng was a little hesitant: "If there is really going to be a war, our Lord Marquis will definitely talk... I haven't heard of it before, do you think it's okay?"

Little Xue said hurriedly: "I'm not an alarmist! This is absolutely true! My uncle said that there seems to be a caravan under the name of Prince Suning who is responsible for transporting grain. I think it was him who returned to the fiefdom earlier.

I made it some time ago. My uncle even saw him from a distance on the Cangzhou Pier."

Cai Shengnan said calmly: "If there really is a war, the imperial court will have its own opinions. We will just wait for the news at home. Sister-in-law does not need to worry, let alone look for people to inquire. Every family has children who will be sent to guard the border. Seventeen and

He's not the only one. There have been too many troubles, which has a bad reputation for him. He has been outstanding in martial arts since he was a child and has great ambition. He is just waiting for a good opportunity to display his skills. If there is a big war, he will not miss it. "

Little Xue wanted to speak but stopped.

Mrs. Min said: "If there is really a big war, the military family members don't need to follow the army, and the four girls don't have to go with them. Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry."

How could little Xue not be worried? After hearing what her sisters-in-law said, she became even more worried. Because she discovered that originally it was just a word from her uncle that she had half believed, but now it seemed that... there was a 70% possibility.

Will it become a reality? That's a war! She has never really experienced a war since she was born. She has never even seen the small-scale border town conflicts that her sisters-in-law have seen. She can't help but turn pale when she thinks about it.

, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep well.

The Cai family also wants Cai Shiqi and Qin Jinchun to get married in advance. Why? Could it be possible... There will be a war next year. Do they want more time to give Cai Shiqi a wife? What about her little daughter?

Isn’t it very possible to become a widow?!

Little Mrs.

Until Xiao Feng said: "Everything is just speculation. My sister-in-law has no accurate information, so she is just thinking here to scare herself. What if she scares someone? Prince Suning often sees him,

He always had something to say in our family and would not hide it from anyone. He didn't mention anything about transporting military supplies or starting a war in Liaodong. Maybe... it was just transporting some food. Isn't he the grandson of the former Liao Prince?

Now being demoted to the title of Prince of Yiyang County, maybe it is really because of shortcomings. It is reasonable for the grandson to make up for his grandfather. But this kind of thing is a scandal in his family, so how can he mention it to us?

"My sister-in-law's uncle, maybe it's just a wild guess." Little Xue felt that it made sense, and then she felt a little relieved.

In the end, the sisters-in-law managed to calm down little Xue and sent her away. Looking back, Yao said in a nonchalant manner: "At first, I thought that the second wife really got married and it was a good job. The fourth girl married well."

As for me, I didn't expect this outcome... That's right, if it's such a rare and good marriage, how could it be so easy to take advantage of his family?"

Cai Shengnan glanced at her, and Yao finally remembered that Cai Shengnan was Cai Shengnan's nephew. Her words seemed to be disparaging to her nephew. She was getting close to Cai Shengnan now, so she apologized and said with a smile: "I was wrong.

Well, my sister-in-law’s nephew is a talented young man. It was originally the four girls who came up with this marriage.”

Cai Shengnan really didn't know whether to be funny or angry, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything, and said sternly to his sisters-in-law: "Whether there is going to be a war in Liaodong or not, the court has not made it clear, so we should not tell anyone about it. If it makes the officials and the people uneasy, it will

It's a sin. My sister-in-law is just worried about her daughter. Let's help her with the dowry of the fourth girl and keep her busy, so she won't have time to think about it."

No matter what they think in their hearts, all the sisters-in-law agree in unison.
