Chapter 540 Reluctance

Qin Bai was deeply surprised by the experience of Huang Jincheng's sister. It is not uncommon for officials in the capital to follow the trend and betray their trust, but it is really rare for a previously settled engagement to become so ugly.

Miss Huang's ex-fiancé's family originally had a good hand, but they acted so hard that they lost both his wife and the army, and the good hand turned into a bad one. It's really hard to know what to say.

But from this incident, we can also see what impact the prince will have on the court after he recovers. The prince has been ill for more than thirty years, especially since the death of the emperor's grandson. Almost everyone has concluded that the prince has no successor.

Man's life is short. As long as he dies, the royal family will begin to select the clan's sons to be heirs in the palace and inherit the East Palace reserve. In order to compete for this position, how many clan children have emerged one after another.

Fighting for secrets. The ministers in the court also followed suit, making suggestions for the clan members they were optimistic about, waving flags and shouting, hoping that they could make a contribution to the dragon, and when the new monarch got the big treasure, he would lead his family to a prosperous career.

Now that there is nothing going on in the East Palace and their status is stable, aren't these people embarrassed?

In fact, this was all a bad trend caused by the struggle for the right to inherit the throne in the last years of the late emperor's reign.

At that time, several princes fought together, and most of the royal family members, princes, nobles, and big families in the capital were involved in the struggle. I don't know how many people lost their lives because of this, and I don't know how many aristocratic families were wiped out.

Young ones, like Zhao Mo's biological grandmother and the natal family of the Tang family of Prince Yuan of the Liao Dynasty, were just squeezed out of the central circle of power and gradually became an ordinary official family, declining day by day.

It was so serious that no one in the whole family escaped, and even the nine clans were implicated.

People like the Qin family, although they suffered a lot in the early days, with all the men in the family being exiled to the frontier, and losing the backbone of the family, they made a comeback within a few years and kept the family's vitality, they are considered very lucky.

Probably because they were frightened by those days, the older aristocratic families inside and outside the capital are now much indifferent to the change of throne. No matter how lively the capital is, they will avoid it as much as they can, and focus on doing their best anyway.

If you really can't avoid it, you can find a reason to resign, wait for a few years, and then re-enter the official position when the dust of the crown prince's position has settled. Although you may not have the opportunity to rise to prominence, at least you can be in peace.

Live your life peacefully without any worries.

However, not everyone will be as calm as these aristocratic families. Although the power of following the dragon contains great risks, if it fails, it may ruin the life of oneself or even the whole family, but there are still people who persist in pursuing it.

It, because while it contains risks, it also brings great benefits. For people who are not from aristocratic families, this benefit is really too tempting.

The best example is the Wang family. They were originally from a poor family, and the two brothers worked as officials, but they were just a small family in the capital. Such a low-level official family, with not even a thousand but eight hundred in the capital, is nothing at all. Although

Mr. Wang Er served as a court servant in front of the emperor, serving the late emperor's pen and ink, but he was just a pen-writer. He was not a high-ranking official, and he did not have much real power in his hands. As a result, he made the right bet and wrote the pen under the order of the late emperor.

He issued an edict and made great contributions to the succession of the current emperor, and the whole family immediately ascended to heaven. Although Mr. Wang has been trapped in the position of serving in the middle for decades and cannot make any progress, the career of the other members of the Wang family is bright. Wang

The eldest man once served as a minister, with power over the government and the public. The daughter of the Wang family entered the palace as a concubine and almost gave birth to the emperor's second prince. If he could raise him, he could almost be regarded as a proper heir to the throne.

The Wang family found two sons-in-law one after another, both of whom were popular candidates for the throne of the emperor. Even the royal family members in Beijing had to give in to the Wang family.

Who wouldn’t want to be the next member of such a glorious Wang family? Anyway, before the current emperor succeeded to the throne, no one knew that Mr. Wang supported him. Even if he wanted to follow the dragon, he didn’t have to do it in an obvious way.

Well, you just need to bet quietly and then take action at the critical moment. Hold on

Many officials have this idea. Those who are capable will pay attention to official affairs, while those who are not capable will focus on the relationship between in-laws. I am afraid that it is for this reason that Miss Huang's ex-fiancé rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

He changed his mind before the wedding day and married another granddaughter of the Wang family.

He was just unlucky and didn't expect that the prince's health would recover. There were many people like him whose plans failed anyway, and his family could only be considered an inconspicuous one among them. However, Miss Huang suffered for no reason.

It would be pitiful if the marriage was not harmonious because of the consequences.

Qin Bai was very sympathetic to Miss Huang's situation, but he couldn't do anything except comfort Huang Jincheng. However, Huang Jincheng didn't expect him to be of any help. After all, this was their Huang family's business. Qin Bai gave him

An opportunity allowed him to express his depression, and he was in a much better mood. Looking back, it was fortunate that his sister

If she didn't marry into her ex-fiancé's family, wouldn't she have really wasted her life? Now her reputation may be affected, but as long as she leaves the capital for a few years, people in the capital will soon forget about it. If she

It would be even more ideal to find a good family outside Beijing to marry into. My sister's situation doesn't seem to be very bad either.

Qin Bailiu and Huang Jincheng had dinner in the village, and the latter left briskly. Before leaving, he also accepted Niu's suggestion: "The weather is too hot now, let your sister recover first. Wait until

When the weather gets cooler, I walk around outside the city and look at the famous places.

Visit the historical sites and travel around the mountains and rivers. Since you are here to relax, you should naturally look like you are relaxing. If there are any delicious and fun things in the local area, feel free to search for more and go back to make your sister happy.

She will naturally forget about bad things."

Huang Jincheng was convinced and decided to find a cool house outside the city not far from the military camp, and move his wife, children and sister there to escape the summer heat and recuperate. When his sister was well, he would take her out to play more.

Huang Jincheng left. Thinking about his sister's unfortunate experience, Mr. Niu couldn't help but sigh to her husband Qin Bai: "His sister is also a miserable person. The elders decided to get married many years ago. How come they decided to marry such a man? I want to retire.

Just break off the engagement, just make it clear. Even if he deceived the Huang family and broke off the engagement, it was still an annulment. From now on, the two of them will marry separately.

It's related. Now that he's taken advantage, don't be too verbose and just marry the person he wants to marry. What's the point of talking about the Huang family's girl's horoscope for no reason? After doing that..." She paused and glanced at the person sitting there.

Not far away, the granddaughters Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, two and a half-year-old children, glanced at each other and swallowed two words, "After doing all that, we still have to build a memorial arch. We want all the good things. It's such a beautiful idea!"

Qin Bai was also very contemptuous of the behavior of that family: "For nothing else, since you have already done something treacherous, why bother to break the promise again and want to cancel the marriage of the Wang family and save the Huang family? This is obviously a repeated act.

People, don’t dirty our ears!”

Niu sneered: "I feel happy when I think that they have failed to draw water from the bamboo basket and all their calculations are useless!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and interjected: "Actually, I think this is not a bad thing. Miss Huang's ex-fiancé is actually such a person. It's hard to explain the style of the Wang family's family. Judging from the behavior of several aunts in the Wang family, he

The granddaughter may not be a fuel-saving lamp. I think Miss Huang’s ex and the Wang granddaughter are a good match, and the two families’ behavior styles are perfectly matched. It’s good for them to be a couple like this, so as not to harm others.”

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled, and said to her: "Master Wang got such a son-in-law, it must be very suitable for him. In the past, he always liked to marry his daughters into the clan, but now he would like people outside the clan, and

This shows how much he favors this son-in-law."

Qin Hanzhen covered his mouth and laughed. The two of them were obviously gloating about their misfortune. Niu also laughed after hearing this.

Qin Bai looked at them helplessly and waited for them to finish laughing before saying: "Okay, it's getting late. Go back to the house and rest quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow to go on the road."

Early the next morning, they got on the carriage and set off for Shitang. There were country roads connecting this road. Although it was not as spacious and smooth as the official road, Jiangning was rich and there were wealthy households who were willing to spend money to do good and build bridges and pave roads.

There are many, so even if it is a rural dirt road, the road condition is not too bad. The weather is sunny today with a slight breeze. Traveling in such weather must be smooth. If there are no accidents, it is possible to travel from Qinzhuang to Shitangzhu

The sea is only about sixty miles away and can be reached in two or three hours by carriage.

Qin Bai, Wu Shaoying and Zhao Mo all rode horses, but the latter was young and had a different status, so Niu asked someone to prepare a car for him. Qingdai and Fei's mother were in the car waiting for orders. When did he feel

When you are tired from riding horses, or you feel the sun is too hot, you can take a rest in the car at any time.

Qin Hanzhen followed his grandmother Niu in a large carriage. Also in the car was his five-year-old cousin Zi Geer. Qin Hanzhen is now accustomed to riding in cars and boats, and he has adapted well and is still interested in enjoying things along the way.

The scenery outside the car. Ms. Niu felt that the carriage was a little bumpy, so she kept leaning on the pillow with her eyes closed to rest her mind. However, after Dr. Ye's treatment, her body had greatly improved, and the symptoms of motion sickness no longer appeared.

Only Brother Zi was always listless and seemed to have no energy, even speaking seemed weak. Niu was worried that he had suffered from heat stroke, but touching his hands, feet and forehead, it didn't seem to be anything serious, so he asked him what was wrong.

Brother Zi shook his head in a depressed manner and remained silent in his grandmother's arms, his little face drooped and listless.

Qin Hanzhen guessed: "You can't bear to leave Brother Zhang and Brother Qi, right? When they parted in the village just now, they cried so hard... In just a few days, they have formed such a deep friendship.

, even being separated for a few days feels like a separation between life and death." She felt a little funny, and touched her little cousin's head, "Now we are only separated for a few dozen miles, and we will be reunited again in a few days. You are sad.

This is it. When we return to the capital in the future, we will be separated from your friends by thousands of miles, and it will be difficult to see each other. What will you do then? "

The expression on Brother Zi's face was even sadder, and he looked like he was about to shed tears.
