"What kind of husband are you looking for?"
Chu Jinyao, a girl, was still very embarrassed when asked about such a thing. Chu Jinyao glared at Qin Yi a little embarrassedly, and said, "What are you asking about?"
"I just understand." Qin Yi urged, "Come on."
Seeing that Qin Yi's expression didn't seem to be fake, Chu Jinyao also thought about it carefully, and showed a thoughtful look: "My future husband... I don't ask him to be rich and noble, I just ask him to accompany me. That's right. , His temper must be gentle, he can't murder me, he can't dislike me, and if I do something wrong, he can't say I'm wrong as soon as he comes up."
When Chu Jinyao said this, he thought of the Su family. The Su family was where she grew up, and the environment there had a great impact on her. Father Su was a violent person who would beat and scold his wife if he was unhappy, and then mother Su would take out Chu Jinyao and Su Hui. . Chu Jinyao has been determined since she was a child. In the future, she must marry someone who is completely different from Su's father. The other party should be gentle and kind, but her heart is firm and tough.
But Qin Yi listened, but he always felt that what Chu Jinyao said was not Lin Xiyuan? Chu Jinyao is only thirteen years old, and has already begun to conceive
So Qin Yi said, "How old are you, and you are so young, don't think about it all the time."
Chu Jinyao became angry at the time: "Didn't you ask me? Are you talking about me now?"
The affair between Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao made a splash in the bottomless inner house, and soon disappeared. Everyone turned a blind eye to what happened in Baoxia that day, pretending they didn't know anything. As for Chu Jinmiao's inexplicable grounding, no one paid any attention.
Only Mrs. Zhao murmured to Chu Jinmiao distressedly: "You are so good, how come you were grounded by your grandmother? You were even asked to copy the female ring in the yard, but your hands are not yet healed!"
Chu Jinmiao smiled stiffly. She carefully looked at Zhao's expression and determined that Zhao did not know the truth. She was slightly relieved and said, "Mother, it's fine. My grandmother is an elder. Since she punished me for copying books, I will definitely She has her reasons."
Zhao Shi hesitated. During this time, the only thing that could be related to Chu Jinmiao was what happened in Baoxia that day. Chu Jinmiao threw things in public was very disrespectful, but she was also hurt by someone's harsh words. Heart, only when stimulated! Even if Mrs. Chu wanted to be punished, why should only Chu Jinmiao be punished? The Zhao family was thinking, most of the time it was Chu Jinyao who went to beg Chu Jinxian and asked Chu Jinxian and Mrs. Chu to say something, and only then would Chu Jinmiao be restrained.
Zhao sighed, she originally thought that having more daughters was a blessing, but now her eldest daughter is helping the younger daughter against Chu Jinmiao, Zhao's heart is really complicated. After Chu Jinyao chatted with her that day, Mama Zhang also said that Mrs. Zhao ignored Chu Jinyao too much. Mrs. Zhao didn’t think she was wrong, but who made everyone around her say that, Mrs. Zhao could only understand On the surface, let Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao be the same, but secretly, quietly subsidize Chu Jinmiao one or two.
Zhao shi sat with Chu Jinmiao for a while, and then left. After Zhao left, not long after, the second young master came.
Hearing the report, Chu Jinmiao hurriedly said, "Second brother is here? Let him in!"
Although the second young master ranks second, he is the eldest son in the long house, and the only elder brother in the family. The girls are born with a big brother complex, and the second young master is both direct and long, and will take over the family business of Changxing Houfu in the future. The second young master Yu Qing is the eldest brother. When the girls marry in the future, they will have to rely on the second young master to support them in their in-laws. Under the influence of the two sides, the sisters in the family like to be close to the second young master.
The second young master heard that Chu Jinmiao had been grounded, so he came to visit this little sister on purpose, and stopped by to pick up something.
After the second young master entered the room, Chu Jinmiao happily ran over and hugged the second young master's arm affectionately.
"Second brother, why did you think of seeing me? Did you forget me?"
"No, how could it be." The second young master smiled dotingly at her, "I was not free a few days ago. After hearing about you, I came over quickly. Why are you grounded?"
Hearing these words, Chu Jinmiao lowered her face, let go of the second young master's hand, and gave a long snort, "It's still like this, it's not because I offended my grandmother and got punished."
As soon as the second young master heard it, he knew that his sister had become petulant again. He softened his voice and said to Chu Jinmiao, "What is it for? Tell me well, and I'll go and ask my grandmother for mercy."
Chu Jinmiao waved her hand quickly and said, "Second brother, don't ask, even if you ask, there is nothing you can do. Grandma doesn't like me now, if you go to me and ask for mercy, maybe you will be taught a lesson by grandma. Forget it, anyway. I'm not a serious girl from Hou's mansion, I don't love my father or my mother, if I can suffer a little grievance in exchange for your family being harmonious and beautiful, that's fine too."
The second young master didn't like her saying this very much, he frowned and said in a slightly aggravated tone, "Miao'er..."
Chu Jinmiao lowered her head, and after a long while, she said in a low voice, "Second brother, don't ask, I don't want to say these things, and Xing's grandmother complained that I was making excuses."
The second young master listened, hesitated, and finally sighed: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then forget it. You can endure it for a few days, and after a few days, my grandmother's anger has subsided, and I will go and tell my grandmother, let me She let you out."
Chu Jinmiao had a bitter face at first, but when she heard the second young master's words, she snorted, turned worry into joy, and sweetly said second young master, "Thank you, brother."
The second young master also smiled: "You still have the same temperament as when you were a child. By the way, I came today to see you first, and secondly, to talk to you about this world. You said a few days ago. Do you want to borrow it and have a look, have you finished it now?"
Chu Jinmiao remembered the book and asked strangely, "Why is the second brother in such a hurry, is there any urgent need?"
"That's not true." The second young master said, "It's just that my father said, let me take a good look at these. When the prince comes to Taiyuan in the future, it may be useful."
Hearing the prince, Chu Jinmiao's ears perked up, and she asked tentatively, "Prince?"
"Yes." The second young master smiled gently and said, "You shouldn't know yet, the prince may come to Taiyuan to settle down for a while. The prince likes to read the world and speak new words very much, and my father wants me to prepare one or two in advance."
Chu Jinmiao gave a thoughtful "Oh", she bribed the maid next to Mother Deng and knew that Mother Deng valued this book, so she borrowed the book from the second young master in advance. Unexpectedly, the reason why Mama Deng valued it was because the prince liked it.
Chu Jinmiao asked, "Why does the prince like this?"
"I don't know that either. The prince doesn't like the books that are often read in the imperial examinations. Instead, he likes books from the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the previous dynasties. These are not secrets in the court. You can find out with a little thought." Very helpless, because of his poor health, he didn't like the Bagu that was popular at this time, but liked the books that talked about false Taoism in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When others saw it, they always thought that he was playing for the prince's favor, which was really wrong.
Although the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion of Huailing County are in-laws, the prospects and status of the two families are completely different. The founding emperor of this dynasty, Gaozu, was born in Caojie. However, before the founding emperor developed, he was fed up with the suffering of wealthy businessmen and officials. After he became emperor, he especially hated corruption and the wealthy. The Hachiko and Sixteen Marquis who followed the emperor to conquer the world at the beginning of the dynasty lost most of them in Gaozu's day. Many of them still had a friendship with Gaozu wearing open crotch pants, and it was difficult to end in a good life in the end.
Gaozu was ruthless and arbitrary. He hated officials holding power the most, but at the same time he hoped that his descendants would be wealthy and wealthy forever, so he slaughtered heroic officials, set up many restrictions on his officials, eunuchs, and harems, and at the same time also set up rules for his own descendants. under the rules. He believes that as long as the descendants follow the route he arranged, they will surely be rich and noble from generation to generation, and he even stipulates the generation of the descendants. After Emperor Gaozu left, the internal rules of the Qin family became looser day by day, but the laws of the court continued like this.
The most obvious of these is the difference in the succession system. The Marquis of Changxing is a foreign minister and a noble marquis. The title is passed down to three generations at most, and the third generation is cut off. If the fourth generation descendants want to continue the family title, they must go to the emperor to ask the emperor to see if the grace of heaven is mighty. But the palace is different. Gaozu was very tolerant to his own family. He divided his son as a vassal king and guarded various places.
After the death of the vassal king, his eldest son will inherit the palace and continue to be the prince. When the next generation comes, the eldest son of the king of the county will continue to be the king of the county, while the rest of the heirs will continue to be enfeoffed. From generation to generation, it is like a tree with luxuriant branches. The kings of the Qin family will only be passed down, and will only increase, while the nobles of other surnames, whether you are a hero or a famous general, must accept the three generations and be executed. fate. The fate of Duke Xungui was firmly grasped by the royal family, and there was only one way left in front of him to please the emperor.
Although the palace of Huailing County is a different surname, the treatment cannot be compared with that of the serious Qin family, but the inheritance system has been exposed. As long as the Lin family does not rebel, the name of their Huailing Palace can be passed down from generation to generation, and so can the Lin family. King for generations. But the Marquis of Changxing was different. Doing the math, Chu Jing was already the third generation of the Marquis of Changxing. In other words, Chu Jing was still the Marquis, but when he passed it on to the Second Young Master, it was hard to say whether he could keep his title. If they can't keep it, the entire Chu family will be demoted from the Houfu to civilians. If there is no Chu disciple in the court at this time, then the Changxing Houfu Chu family will soon completely disappear from the stage.
This is the gap between the Chu family and the Huailing palace. The palace can enjoy the wealth forever, but the mansion does not. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Chu Zhu married high. When the people from the Huailing Palace came, the Changxing Hou Palace would also entertain them. Not sure, in the future they will have to ask the people from the palace of Huailing County to intercede for them. After all, the prince is a prince. As long as he can see the emperor, many things can be said.
The Marquis of Changxing has been passed down to the last generation, and Chu Jing led the army in Taiyuan. His power in Beijing is very flat, and he has no sense of presence in the emperor. When he was enthroned, would the emperor give the Chu family this favor? That's why the Marquis of Changxing attached so much importance to the Prince's affairs, and even offered to let the Second Young Master familiarize himself with the Prince's favorite books in advance. Now that His Majesty is playful and trusts his close ministers, their Chu family has no chance of getting ahead, so they can only work hard on the prince early.
"Prince actually likes this type of book..." Chu Jinmiao was surprised, a gentle, melancholy, thin figure appeared in her mind immediately, and this person turned out to be the Crown Prince of the East Palace. The prince actually likes Xu Xuan to avoid the world, which is really surprising. However, since the prince likes this kind of books that are illusory and light, then the taste of women is no different.
Chu Jinmiao immediately felt that God was helping her. She was the slenderest among her sisters and liked to wear loose clothes. Her brothers all said that she had the appearance of being a weak willow and supporting the wind, and she was thin and depressed. If the prince also likes this type of nobody, wouldn't it be just right
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Chu Jinyao's mate selection criteria were announced.
Qin Yi found himself avoiding all options perfectly, hahaha...
