urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 41
The earliest Xuan Ping Hou was just a school lieutenant in the barracks at the beginning.

But he couldn't resist his luck, he followed the right person, followed the founding emperor of the Daqing Dynasty who was not the emperor at the time, and fought in the north and south, and even defended him on the battlefield.

In the end, in terms of merit and deeds, he not only promised him his brother's concubine, but also named him Xuanpinghou of the third rank.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Although marrying a noble daughter is a good thing, it also made the first Xuan Pinghou a man who fears his wife like a tiger. Instead, he lost his previous vigor and had few heirs.

By the fourth generation, which is now Qin Mu's own father, he was even more incompetent. Although he was still in the Xuanping Houfu, he was still a good-looking shell. If Qin Mu didn't have any outstanding achievements, wait for him When he inherited Xuanping Hou Mansion.

Hou's mansion will be downgraded and become Bo's mansion.

However, the current Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou think that these are nothing. As long as they marry a few high-ranking in-laws, even if they can't keep the Hou Mansion, but as long as the in-laws are reliable, no one will dare to provoke the uncle's mansion.

It is said that the emperor has three poor relatives.

Madam Hou's natal family used to be regarded as the clan of Emperor Daqing, but it is a pity that one generation is not as good as the previous generation, and now Emperor Qinghe is suppressing the aristocratic family even more. Even cousins ​​from older generations will not make people look up to each other.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the Xuanping Hou Mansion was already decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it looked like a New Year's Eve atmosphere.

Mrs. Hou came to pay her respects to her aunt and mother-in-law, and gloated: "Mother, Qin Mu hasn't come back yet, I think he regards his natal family as his own."

He leaned closer to her and said in a low voice: "Why don't you say a few words in front of Lord Hou? It also prevents Lord Hou from always thinking about that white-eyed wolf."

The old lady saw that she was wearing a scarlet woven gold peony tunic, and a double-strand gold inlaid emerald ruyi hairpin, which made her face more rosy and delicate against the backdrop of her powdered face.

Her mood is very complicated.

When she was in her natal family, she got a lot of help from her sister-in-law, and later on, thanks to her help, she was able to marry Xuan Pinghou as his successor.

Later, when she was pregnant, she was plotted against in Xuan Ping Hou's mansion. No matter how difficult it is to have her own children in this life, she can only treat Xuan Ping Hou's stepson well.

Therefore, even if they are not biological mother and son, the stepmother and stepson get along harmoniously.

At that time, she was thinking of letting her niece marry Qin Lingyun. Unfortunately, there was a six-year gap between the two, and she was also worried that Qin Lingyun would not be able to wait.

But before she could mention it, Xuan Pinghou passed her and settled for Meng Yijing, the eldest daughter of the Mengtai Physician's family, for Qin Lingyun.

At that time, there was definitely anger in her heart, but there was also some pleasure.

It has been said since ancient times that it is reasonable to marry high and marry low.

If the daughter-in-law's natal family is weak, don't want to have the right to manage the inner house in her own hands.

My niece from my natal family fell seriously ill after hearing the news.

When Meng Yijing came in, she not only fell in love with Qin Lingyun and her husband, but also gave birth to a son-in-law soon. After a few years, Meng Yijing began to want the right to be a housekeeper.

The old lady was naturally unwilling to give it. Fortunately, Meng Yijing was short-lived. At Meng Yijing's funeral, she took advantage of the situation and made her niece Qing Xiangying and Qin Lingyun have a physical relationship. Nei Jinfu became the concubine of the world.

However, Qing Xiangying was in good health, and soon became pregnant, and gave birth to a son and two daughters one after another.

When Qing Xiangying was pregnant, the old lady saw that Qin Mu, who was already five years old, was not pleasing to her eyes, and regarded him as a thorn in her flesh and a stumbling block to her eyes.

As soon as the old lady and her natal sister-in-law got together, they tampered with the diet, but Meng Yu unexpectedly discovered the clue.

The old Hou Ye blushed with her because of this matter, and even said that he divorced his wife.

If it wasn't for her softening her body and being careless in every possible way, she might not be the old lady of Xuanping Hou Mansion now.

But also because of the terrible anger of Old Hou Ye, they didn't dare to take it lightly before they came up with a complete countermeasure.

What's more, Qin Mu seldom returned to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion after that, and if they were not in the inner house, even if they had all kinds of means, they would be powerless.

As for why they didn't take Qin Mu's life while he was outside, it was because they were worried that they would not be able to deal with the aftermath if they were found out.

Fortunately, Qing Xiangying also gave birth to a son. He was smart and smart since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by the old Hou Ye and the Hou Ye.

What makes them feel regretful is that Qin Yuexuan is only ten years old this year and is still studying in the academy, but Qin Mu has already started working as an errand, which can be regarded as a small achievement in the military camp.

The old lady felt that she was still short-sighted: "How many times have I taught you before, don't speak ill of Qin Mu in front of him, it will affect the relationship between you and your husband!"

Qing Xiangying pouted when she heard the words, fiddled with the fine jade bracelet on her snow-white wrist, and complained angrily: "Aunt, you don't know, he is going too far now, I said a few more things yesterday In other words, he raised his leg and went to that little bitch..."

"Shut up!" The old lady immediately interrupted her and said angrily, "If you don't restrain yourself, are you trying to drive him further and further away?"

Qing Xiangying's eyes turned red immediately, and she couldn't hide her grievance and cried: "Auntie, he used to be with Meng, let alone a concubine, even the housekeeper was sent away."

"But look at him now, his aunt has all the rooms. You say I can't compare to that bitch surnamed Meng!"

The old lady said angrily: "The living will never be able to compete with the dead, let alone that he died to save him."

He looked at her with hatred for being weak: "The most important thing for us now is not to let Qin Mu marry the one from the Wen family."

Qing Xiangying took out a handkerchief and wiped it, raised her chin and said proudly: "Hui'er, our family, has met Wen Huiyi a few times, and with Hui'er's looks, we can definitely coax Wen Huiyi into his hands. "

Although their natal family has the title of Cheng'anbo, even the uncles of Emperor Qinghe and the clan princes, the Daqing law prohibits the clan princes from owning independent land, and can only enjoy the food and princes given by the emperor every year. , not to mention that their natal family is more than three thousand miles away, so naturally one generation is not as good as the previous generation.

Fortunately, Qing Haohui, the eldest son of Cheng'anbo, is fair and handsome, and has outstanding literary talent.

They didn't want Qin Mu to get married, so after thinking it over and over, they turned their minds on Qing Haohui.

Qing Haohui and the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites were originally classmates and friends. Taking advantage of the opportunity of visiting classmates, they tried their best to meet Wen Huiyi. With his handsome and affectionate appearance and sweet words, he really coaxed Wen Huiyi was overjoyed.

Although Qing Haohui now bears the name of Cheng Anbo's son, his family is completely incomparable with the emperor's favorite ministers, so his marriage is not high enough or low enough.

Qing Haohui agreed to sacrifice his appearance to deceive the little girl because he wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with the Minister of Rites, which would be very helpful for his future official career.

Everyone takes what they need, and everyone is happy.
