Chapter 285 Forced Marriage (Exploding!)
As dusk approached, the palace attendants in Fengzao Palace began to light lamps.
The Earth Dragon Burner was much warmer than the Yangxin Palace, and Yuanchun felt faint sweat on his forehead.
People who haven't stayed in the harem for a long time don't know Queen Yin's shrewdness and power.
Although Empress Yin delegated most of her power, no one dared to play tricks in front of her.
Those phoenix eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts always made Yuanchun feel that there were no secrets in his heart.
It seems that all thoughts can be seen through by this supreme woman in the world.
After pondering over it in his heart for a long time, Yuan Chun said bitterly: "Originally, it was the greatest honor for my concubine's family to speak her mind. However, as far as I know, Qiang'er seems to have been married to the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the left servant of the household department.
I believe that I, my concubine, are really..."
"Pfft!"
Seeing that Yuanchun was so embarrassed, Empress Yin smiled and said: "As expected, Mrs. Rongguo taught me this. She didn't think about currying favor with me, so she went back to break up a pair of mandarin ducks. But why are you so embarrassed? I, my Majesty.
Are you a ignorant and evil person? Not to mention you, even I have long heard about the name of the emperor’s most important minister, Lin Shilang, and his beloved daughter. I heard that the girl is also very good. Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a good heart.
He is kind. Although he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, he never does any evil and never bullies the weak. He is really likeable. Lin Shilang has been loyal to the country and the emperor for many years. He lost his wife when he was a legitimate son, and he has made great achievements. Like this
Who in the government and the public does not admire this great loyal minister? Now that the beloved daughter of Minister Lin can find such a wishful husband, not to mention me, even the emperor is happy for the Lin family..."
Yuan Chun was completely confused when he heard this. After thanking Lin Ruhai and Daiyu for their compliments, he really couldn't understand and said: "The saint is not as wise as the empress. But, since the empress knows about this marriage, then..."
After hearing this, Queen Yin smiled and said: "As far as I know, Jia Qiang is now in the title and has entered the main house as the third house of Ning Mansion, not the eldest heir. However, he has promised,
In the future, we will also have the eldest son’s house, so that the eldest son’s house will not be extinct. Is that right?”
Yuanchun became more and more confused when he heard the words, and said incoherently: "Your Majesty, even so, you can take both concubine and concubine...after all, it is not like taking a concubine. There is always a distinction between taking a concubine and having a concubine. Of course, whether it is the concubine, the niece or the son,
She is not even the daughter of Minister Lin, so she cannot be a concubine. It’s just that... she marries two wives, and they are both married. But who is willing to share a husband with someone else? It’s just a small family, but my mother-in-law’s family is a dignified descendant.
So noble. And the empress also said that your niece has a rare good color in the world. Although the rose is very good, it is not worthy of being used as a mother."
When Queen Yin heard this, she suddenly let out a long sigh, even her eye circles were faintly red, and said: "The two generations of the Yin family are not very small. It's just that from this generation onwards, I am the only girl. In the next generation, I am the only one."
, there is only one girl born to my brothers, whose nickname is Ziyu. Ziyu is a really good child, good at everything, and has a gentle and virtuous temperament. She is not like ordinary noble girls who show their teeth and claws and make a fuss. It can only be said that
Annoyed, God doesn’t allow people to be perfect. This child didn’t even cry when he knocked the grass off..."
Hearing this, Yuan Chun trembled suddenly and looked at Queen Yin in shock.
Queen Yin wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said with a bitter smile: "Yes, the imperial doctor said that she was born with a heat poison in her mother's womb, so she could not speak. I never seek officials for the Yin family, only
I love this pitiful niece and give her whatever I have. If I don’t have anything, I will try my best to give it to her. Not to mention me, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have also rewarded me with countless things.
Several princes also love this cousin very much. If it is not against the rules, what if I marry her as my daughter-in-law? However, I am the queen of the middle palace, so I must not break the rules of the palace and spoil the heaven.
Because of her family blood, I have always wanted to find a reliable family for her to marry. However, I have never met the right one."
Of course I can’t find the right one!
Not to mention the daughter of the descendant clan, even the direct daughter of the Tian family, it is difficult to find a sincere one.
It is naturally impossible to marry into a poor family, and I don’t worry about what the other person’s intentions are.
Pointing it out to the noble family is even more enmity.
Whose family is not prosperous? How can such a woman who can't even speak be filial to her uncle and take care of the house?
Just choose a scholar...
But those who are disloyal are mostly scholars, and they are also indispensable for running a household, otherwise, sooner or later, they will be disliked by others.
Since ancient times, not to mention the mute girls of the descendants, they are the serious empresses of the Tian family. How many of them are brutally abused after getting married?
If only one person cannot speak, the happiness of her daughter's family will be cut off for the rest of her life.
And after talking about it for this reason, Yuan Chun had already understood Queen Yin's thoughts.
When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that Jia Qiang was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Although he was in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, he had no filial uncles and aunts, and no family members below him to support him.
The family is so sparsely populated that people really like it...
In addition, the queen checked Daiyu's character and seemed to have recognized that Daiyu was a kind person and would not bully a mute girl.
Moreover, after the marriage is over, that girl Ziyu doesn’t have to worry about housekeeping and managing the family business...
The Ningguo Mansion is so big, with Daiyu on one side and Tzuyu on the other. The family is simple and neither of them is a troubled person. Isn't it perfect?
Seeing Queen Yin looking at her with radiant eyes, Yuanchun felt a little bitter in his mouth.
Yes, everything is suitable, that is for Queen Yin's family.
Of course, it is also very beneficial to the Jia family.
If Yuanchun could make the decision, even if the old lady at home could make the decision, she would have agreed by now.
only……
What good will this matter do to Jia Qiang?
When a young man succeeds and holds a noble position, what kind of woman cannot get it?
Why do you have to marry a descendant and marry a woman who only brings jokes...
However, seeing Queen Yin's face gradually becoming colder, Yuanchun had no room for further delay. She said truthfully: "It is really a great joy for me and my family that your Majesty favors the Jia family. However, I dare not hide it from your Majesty. Although my son is a nephew, he... never listens to what the family says. Regarding this matter, I can only write to my ancestors and my wife, asking them to do their best to fulfill it."
When Queen Yin heard this, she smiled and said: "Hey, that's right. As long as the Jia family treats my niece well, how can I treat Jia Qiang badly? In addition, you must act strategically. Don't do this first. Tell Jia Qiang that I have heard that he has a close relationship with the daughter of Lin Shilang. If you tell him directly, he will definitely not allow it. At that time, once the quarrel breaks out, it will not be a marriage, but a feud. You ask Madam Rongguo to go see Minister Lin first and explain things clearly to him. Just say that I owe him a favor."
Yuanchun: "..."
She is not a yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand anything, the queen's favor...
This is not a favor, this is a debt of gratitude.
There are great articles in this, Queen Yin is really... amazing!
…
Naturally, Jia Qiang didn't know at this moment that someone was planning to force him to marry a mute bride.
After visiting Lin Mansion, he returned to Ningguo Mansion first.
After another quarrel with Lai Sheng and others, we went to my uncle's house behind the study.
It’s not time yet to deal with people like Lai Sheng. He can’t be the starter. In this era, there are some rules and it’s better to try not to have sex...
When Jia Qiang entered the courtyard, Liu Laoshi's family happened to be having dinner. Because Tieniu now eats public meals, the pot used for cooking today was twice as small as usual.
Just seeing the pot and rice cooker set up in the courtyard and the two simple home-cooked dishes on the table in the main room, Jia Qiang's face suddenly turned ugly and she frowned and said, "Why are you just eating these? No one has sent food to the house?" "
"Qiang'er is back, sit down quickly!"
Liu Laoshi was very happy to see him come in and asked him to sit down.
Liu Da Niu also laughed: "Don't go scolding me. Our family is really not used to eating those delicacies, even during the Chinese New Year. We still feel comfortable eating these. Didn't you also tell us how to feel comfortable? This is the most comfortable way." "
Jia Qiang had no choice but to step forward and pick up the silly little stone and said: "What's there to eat that I can't get used to? It's just eating more chicken, duck and fish, what's the point?"
Aunt Chun shook her head repeatedly and said: "As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Your uncle said that he will go back in a few days. You are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can you do this when you go back? No, no, no. , we don’t have that blessing, we really can’t bear it.”
Liu Laoshi didn't wait for Jia Qiang to speak, he smiled and said: "Okay, don't try to persuade me. Now that the whole family is healthy and healthy, without any illness or disaster, isn't it enough? If you think about it more, you will feel a little bit unsatisfied. It's just that , there is something I want to tell you..."
Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "Uncle, that's what you say."
Liu said honestly: "Now I don't lack anything, and I feel everything is fine. I just feel that you are not young anymore, and now that you have such a family fortune, if you don't get married or have a son, you will feel uneasy." . Your aunt said that she saw you and the girl from the Lin family at the dock last time, and she seemed to have something resembling her at first glance. Will you invite a matchmaker to the Lin family to talk about it sometime? "
When Jia Qiang heard this, she didn't blush like a serious young man. Instead, she laughed and said, "I have my own idea about this matter. Don't worry, uncle."
When Liu Da Niu saw Jia Qiang's smile, she also laughed and said: "A person like my brother is worthy of a fairy descending to earth, so there is no need to be too anxious. But when I looked at Miss Lin last time, she was even prettier than the fairy daughter." ."
Jia Qiang said cheerfully: "If I have a chance tomorrow, I will bring my family to meet my uncle, aunt and sister."
Liu Da Niu smiled and said: "Then you have to let your brother-in-law go out and hide in advance. It will be a big deal to bluff him."
Aunt Chun's gossip: "Then Miss Lin and I are a high official?"
Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Well, now I am in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and will be the prime minister in two years."
"I'm a good boy!"
Aunt Chun is completely envious.
Liu Da Niu raised her eyebrows and said: "What's wrong with brother Qiang? The prime minister is only a first-class man, but the princes like brother Qiang are super-class. They can be hereditary in the future, but the prime minister cannot be hereditary. But then again , Qiang'er must treat others well in the future. I think her body and bones are a bit weak, but she must be taken good care of, otherwise she will suffer a lot when giving birth to children in the future."
Jia Qiang laughed and said: "She will be here tomorrow, just tell her."
After chatting for a while, Jia Qiang grabbed two large bowls of rice, and then she didn't go back to the back house to rest, but went out to hunt horses with others...
