Chu Qing discovered that Chen Laojiu had not escaped before him.
However, Chen Yan did treat Chu Qing as his successor and best friend. He broke it apart and crushed it into pieces. After explaining the so-called rules, twists and turns, Chu Qing finally understood.
It's not that aristocratic families don't marry, but they don't marry easily, because there are too many problems involved.
The ancients have always had the habit of marrying each other, and the most exaggerated one was during the Warring States Period.
At that time, marriage was a diplomatic strategy. For example, if a wealthy family valued a young talent with no foundation, they would directly recruit him as a son-in-law and ask the girl to tell him about it.
Or if you fail to resolve a fight with a neighboring country, let your daughter marry him.
There are also those who marry their daughters off to fight against a third country.
If you want to make an alliance, if you want to annex, if you want to recognize the elder brother, if you want to take in the younger brother, you can marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, marry, be married, Do , do it all.
The funniest thing about the Warring States Period is the fight. The two countries are about to go shirtless when they start filming. Suddenly, they realize that they are all their relatives. When they see the other party’s general, it turns out to be his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law is also confused, and the other party
The lieutenant general turned out to be his uncle. The uncle was even more confused when he saw his brother-in-law in the opposite camp. In short, they were all messed up and could be related to each other.
Besides, in the Chang Dynasty, there were marriages, but the larger the family, the more cautious they were about such matters.
Just like what Chen Yan just said, would an ordinary family let their son marry a princess?
Yes, but the more wealthy and aristocratic the family, the less they dare to do so.
Because once a princess is married and cannot be "controlled", it is not marrying a princess, but marrying an ancestor, let's talk about the family business. If the princess wants to interfere, should she be allowed to interfere?
If you don't allow it, you will offend the heavenly family and the royal family.
But after intervening, the princess is trying to make money for the royal family and taking advantage of her husband's family to benefit her mother's family. What should she do?
The same is true between families. It's easy to talk about side branches, but in the direct line, if you are weak and I am strong, I will take advantage of you, and even swallow up your family. If you are strong, I will be weak, and vice versa.
What if both parties are of similar size? It’s still difficult to handle. You don’t know who has the final say. Fighting back and forth is an internal fight.
Because of this, there are almost no such situations. Weak ones can marry together, which is considered an alliance. The more powerful the family, the less they dare to do so, because they will be suppressed by other aristocratic families and even the royal family.
By the time of the Chang Dynasty and this generation, the big cake of interests was almost divided.
Those who share the cake are all old foxes who have been eliminated by the survival of the fittest. No one wants to change the current situation. They are suspicious of each other and have a tacit alliance.
The so-called alliance means that when there are "new people" who want to stand out, want to sit with them to share the cake, or want to squeeze someone out, they will join forces and work together to prevent this from happening.
In addition, if the two guys who share the cake want to form an alliance through marriage and kick out the others, they will also be attacked by everyone.
When this happens, the royal family will definitely have to take care of it. Just like Nangong Xi, one person is worth more than ten thousand people. The Nangong family suddenly wants to marry the daughter of a general who holds military power. Can the emperor not be impatient?
One is the head of the civil service, and the other is in charge of the eight major camps in the capital. How could you two just carve words on their heads, one with Chinese characters and the other with reverse characters?
Your aristocratic family has been passed down for hundreds of years, with disciples and former officials all over the world, and you want to marry an equally powerful aristocratic family, which poses a threat to the imperial rule, so I must deal with you.
These are the so-called "rules". They are invisible and intangible, but they are more intimidating than Chang's laws and everyone must abide by them.
As for Chu Qing's situation, it has nothing to do with marriage, but with forming a party.
Chu Qing himself felt that there was no problem, but those people who had just come to the main hall were all old foxes. They trusted Chu Qing, but that didn't mean they trusted other people.
Even Tan Zhongping knew that if he really took out the money without saying a word, in the eyes of outsiders, the bond between the two parties would be stronger. Once it involves equal sharing of benefits, there will definitely be suspicion of forming a party.
Chu Qing believed that this was about staying together to keep warm, that everyone was adding fuel to the fire, and that everyone was making money. But would other people think so?
The answer is no. Outsiders will think that Chu Qing wants to form a party and form a party in a way where the benefits are evenly shared.
Moreover, Chu Qing also said "ten times the profit", which is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Even if Fu Youcai is not involved in officialdom, does he care about the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of coins? He doesn't care, but if he really takes it out with a nonchalant expression, everyone will suspect that he wants to take refuge with Chu Qing and Qian Qian.
Qiying will not consider that Chu Qing wants to return the favor, so he will lead everyone to make a fortune together.
To put it in Chen Yan's words, if Chu Qing went to find someone alone, he could raise money, no matter how much, or what the profit would be, this group of people would donate generously.
As long as everyone is called, no one will take the money. Of course, although Zhong Yu and Gongsuntang said they would take the money at first, they are from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Chu Qing also holds the position of Chief of Household Affairs Bureau.
, in the same government office, it is normal for everyone to pool some money to do business.
But Qiu Wanshan, who is also an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is not stupid. He used the flower boat incident as a reason to wake up Zhong Yu and Gongsun Tang in a very subtle way.
As for the money they sent to Chu Qing later, it was precisely because of this that they gave Chu Qing this face, regardless of whether they made money or not, but they could not give it openly or in front of others without leaving any excuse.
Even if something happens later, they will say that this is a personal relationship, rather than everyone getting together and having all kinds of officials, uniting to do whatever they want.
Chu Qing stood up and hugged Chen Yan's fists: "I've learned a lesson."
Chen Yan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You are not stupid, you just haven't seen too many intrigues and swords. As a courtier, think twice before doing anything."
Chu Qing nodded seriously.
An hour ago, if someone had said this to him, Chu Qing would have definitely not cared.
Just kidding, I brought down four servants. I have never seen any scenes before, and we have been through all the intrigues and deceptions.
But now, Chu Qing didn't dare to say that, and he wouldn't dare to say that in the future.
Fu San suddenly interjected: "Would the Emperor be suspicious of such a thing?"
Chen Yan said with a smile: "That is inevitable. Today, your young master summoned so many ministers to discuss business affairs. No matter what the emperor, no one would care about it."
He said this, but Chen Yan was secretly laughing in his heart.
Don't tell me, the emperor of this dynasty doesn't care, because he knows that the fourth child is like a mirror in his heart. Chu Qing is so stubborn in doing things. He can do this in Qianqi Camp just for everyone to make money together.
Fu San glanced at Chu Qing and lowered his voice: "Master, this guy is a prince and the emperor's biological brother. What if he informs?"
Chen Yan: “…”
Chu Qing was stunned, and then looked at Chen Yan with an unkind expression: "Isn't that right? You don't know how to tell the truth, do you?"
Chen Yan was finally convinced: "If I wanted to inform you, why did I teach you so many principles?"
Chu Qing was happy: "That's right."
Fu San spoke again: "What if this is a delaying tactic?"
Chu Qing's smile was a little forced.
Fu San added another blow: "Master, don't forget, this guy used to be the deputy commander of Qianqi Camp. Qianqi Camp, he lived by informing."
Chen Yan yelled: "How the hell did you come up with so much nonsense?"
Fu San looked at the sky with three eyes: "Be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship."
"Okay, okay, Lao Jiu is not like this." Chu Qing smoothed things over: "I still believe in Lao Jiu's character."
Chen Yan glared at Fu San.
Chu Qing looked at Chen Yan again, with a suspicious look on his face, and confirmed again: "You really can't tell the truth, right?"
"I…"
"How about you swear an oath that whoever snitches will die without any trace of his body intact? How about we blast him with five thunderbolts from the sky and destroy all his bones?"
"roll!"
Fu San was very happy: "Master, you see, he is angry, he is angry, he is angry from shame, and he feels guilty."
Seeing that Chen Yan was so angry that he almost ran away, Chu Qing quickly changed the topic.
"It's just a joke. Why are you so anxious? It's as if you really want to tell the truth."
Chen Yan: “…”
"I want to ask you something serious." Chu Qing quickly poured a cup of tea for Chen Yan: "What if, I say what if, it's the emperor, your fourth brother. If the emperor knows that Tao Ruolin is going to marry someone, and marry me, can he agree?"
Chen Yan was stunned: "Miss Tao, are you going to marry someone...or you?"
"Um."
"Don't say it's a joke, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible." Chen Yan laughed loudly: "If Miss Tao really marries someone, she will marry an ordinary person, a small person who can't stand up to the stage. Most of them are still stupid and stupid.
How could you marry someone like..."
Halfway through, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and stared at Chu Qing. After a while, he showed a look of sudden realization.
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Yan looked calm and said calmly: "Brother Yu will come to the palace another day to test your tone."
