219, Chapter 219
Yang Haiyan thought for a while, who was the second prince's companion in the original plot? Oh, the second prince was only found when he accompanied Han Zhen to Beijing. At that time, the second prince was already a young man, so why did he need to choose a companion? Even if the emperor hired a teacher for him later, there was no need to choose a reading companion. Although there is no need for a reading companion, the personal bodyguard does.
And that person is the future Prince Yonghe, who is still a young master now, the one who was kidnapped by the barbarians in the first place.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "I can't guess. If I had to guess, who's young master should it be in the capital?"
Qin Fang said: "The teacher said that two people were chosen, one is Wei Ting's son, and the other is Young Master Nao."
Yang Haiyan was stunned when she heard Wei Ting's son Yang Haiyan, but it was normal to think about it. He was the son of Emperor Bai Yueguang, and he had half the halo of the protagonist. The emperor wished he could give him the best, and Wei Ting was the emperor. One of his confidants, so it’s normal to serialize them together. As for the young master, he still followed the original plot path.
Qin Fang continued: "The teacher said that the emperor's choice of these two people was indeed very thoughtful, which made him very confused."
Hearing this, Yang Haiyan was puzzled: "The teacher is so shrewd, but he is also confused?" That is Du Ke, the shrewdest old fox in the whole article. When he was alive, the Du family was the first aristocratic family in the capital, the descendant family. Also stay back.
Qin Fang said: "Teacher said that the Wei family is a royalist party, the emperor's confidants, and they were the ones who followed the emperor to seize the throne. Now the emperor allows Wei Ting's son to become the second prince's companion and favorite. The thought was so obvious that he couldn't guess what it meant. Logically speaking, if the emperor loves the prince, he shouldn't be like this."
Yang Haiyan thought to herself, no wonder Du Ke was so suspicious, because in this case, wouldn't loving him mean harming him? Put him in such an obvious place. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people with serious thoughts, they felt that the emperor was setting up a shield. But in fact, the emperor had no doubt about his love for the second prince. So why did the emperor do this? Is it intentional to make people suspicious? When such a caring person treats the second prince, should he be cautious?
Yang Haiyan doesn't understand the thoughts of those in power, nor does she want to understand them. She said: "Then what do you think?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "I don't know. Even the teacher can't think of things, and I can't even think of them. Besides, I haven't seen the second prince, nor have I seen how the second prince and the emperor interact. We are getting along with each other, so we are even more unable to judge the emperor's intentions. However, I remember what the teacher said, no matter what the situation, neutrality is the safest, so the disputes in the capital have nothing to do with us. "
Yang Haiyan joked: "General Qin has so much fire medicine in his hands. If the princes fight for power, they might be able to persuade General Qin."
Qin Fang thought she was naughty and scratched her nose: "That's what the emperor asked me to keep. Moreover, the fire medicine is so important. Even if the emperor believes in the teacher, he can't believe it without reservation, so you think There are no spies from the emperor in Yunxiang County?”
Yang Haiyan thought about it and said, "Even if there are people, they don't know."
Qin Fang smiled, secretly he didn't know, but openly he knew. Last year, the emperor brought the grooms who came with him with their sweat-blooded horses. In name, the emperor allowed them to learn how to raise horses and let them enter the racecourse, but in fact, they were not spying on him.
However, Qin Fang has no other thoughts, so he is not afraid of anyone's surveillance.
At the beginning of July, Qin's mother came back and brought several people with her. First came Qin Erya and his wife, then Qin Daya's family of three, then third aunt Qin and uncle Qin's second son, and third aunt Qin's maternal nephew and elder brother.
When Qin's mother returned to her hometown, Third Aunt Qin asked her mother to send a letter to her parents' family. During this time, she mentioned the matter of getting married. Of course, Third Aunt Qin's family agreed. Now that the Qin family has become an official, she can How could they not be willing to marry the Qin family? They didn't mention it before, but they were self-aware and knew that their family was not worthy of the Qin family. But Aunt Qin took the initiative to bring it up, and they didn't mind.
Yang Haiyan's impression of Third Aunt Qin was that she was a villain, but after arriving at the General's Mansion, she was very honest. She must have been taught a lesson by Qin's mother on the way here. As soon as they arrived at the general's house, they had dinner and were sent by Qin's mother to reunite with Third Uncle Qin and his son.
As for Third Aunt Qin’s natal brother and nephew, after meeting Grandma Qin and Grandpa Qin, they began to discuss their marriage to Qin Sanya. Since Third Aunt Qin’s natal nephew also wanted to stay, if they were just engaged to Qin Sanya, In other words, it would not look good to stay here, so after discussion, they decided to let the two get married first, and left the wedding ceremony until Qin Sanya turned sixteen.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin knew that Uncle Qin had low self-esteem and was troubled because he had no son. So when it came to Qin Sanya's marriage, they all decided on their own.
Half a month later, in the middle of July, ten-year-old Qin Sanya and sixteen-year-old cousin Jin Dalin got married.
Watching them get married, Qin's mother thought about Qin Shoucheng's marriage again. The girl she was interested in was not going to get married, but she had little contact with others, so she didn't know for sure. I just watched Qin Erya marry into the second aunt Qin's natal family, and Qin Sanya married into the third aunt Qin's natal family, but her natal family didn't have a suitable niece. However, Qin's mother became more concerned about Qin Shoucheng's affairs after that.
However, there is one more important thing for the Qin family now.
"County exam?" Qin Fang teased his son with a rattle and stopped, "You mean, the master of the college is going to test?"
Qin Shouye said: "Yes, it's just... I don't have the confidence in my heart yet, but Master said that the foundation of my studies is pretty solid, so I can give it a try, but... I didn't pass the exam. It’s also about accumulating experience. Brother, do you think it’s okay? “The young man is ten years old and has improved a lot compared to last year. However, compared with his peers, Qin Shouye's height is only average, but his average height is much better than before. If he had been in his hometown, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to hook up. However, boys develop slowly. Qin Shouye is only ten years old. As long as his nutrition can keep up, he can still grow taller.
Qin Fang thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, your master is right. If we can pass the exam, we will naturally be happy. If we fail, we will just accumulate experience. Just like your elder brother and I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the first time. When I first came on the field, I didn’t dare to kill the enemy, but later I started to dare. But when I killed someone, I felt so scared that I couldn’t sleep at night. Later, I got used to it after killing too many people.”
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she really couldn't laugh or cry. How could anyone use murder as a metaphor? She was about to say it, but she heard Qin Shouye say: "I know, thank you, brother." Compared with just now, she felt uneasy and nervous, and she felt more nervous. Much better indeed.
Well, Yang Haiyan admitted that she might have thought too much. Maybe men and women were different, or maybe Qin was different in the hearts of his brothers, so as long as he comforted them, it would be useful to the brothers.
It's just... "You have to go back to your ancestral home to take the county exam, but you have to go back to your hometown to start a business?" Yang Haiyan said, "It's already July now, and the county exam will be in February next year. I suggest that it only takes a few days to start a business. I am ready to leave. I still have half a year to adapt and recuperate when I return to my hometown. Moreover, the county examination is presided over by the county magistrate and will be reviewed by the county magistrate. So after returning to my hometown, I have to ask about the county magistrate’s preferences. It’s always beneficial when taking such exams.”
Qin Fang said: "What you said makes sense. It's just that my father and mother will be worried if Shouye goes back to the county to try his luck. Then my father and mother will have to go back together and send guards to escort him."
Yang Haiyan: "Let Dr. Li accompany you. If there is something wrong on the way or later, you will feel more at ease when the doctor is around. I heard that the closer it is to the exam, the heavier the examinee's mood will be, and they will be more likely to fall ill." "
Qin Fang nodded, agreeing, and said to Qin Shouye: "Go back, I will discuss this matter with my father and mother after dinner."
Qin Shouye: "Yes."
After his younger brother left, Qin Fang said to Yang Haiyan: "I have to write a letter of divorce to the magistrate of Jintian County, and I will go back to my hometown. It will only be August when I return to my hometown. The county examination will be held on February 2 next year. Months and half a year in between, if there is a good teacher to give me guidance, I will definitely benefit a lot. My father and mother are not knowledgeable in this area. When the time comes, let them take the letter to see the county magistrate and ask the county magistrate to recommend a teacher. I’ll teach you how to keep your business in private.”
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan thought about it and realized that by doing this, Qin Fang would undoubtedly owe the county magistrate a favor. But she couldn't refuse. After all, Qin Shouye was Qin Fang's younger brother. Naturally, in Qin Fang's mind, favors were more important than friendship. Just: "Mr. Sir, I do have an idea."
Qin Fang asked: "What do you think?"
Yang Haiyan: "What if we hire a wife here to accompany us back to our hometown?"
Qin Fang said: "It's inappropriate. The first county test is to test the candidates' basic skills, but the test is actually just a test. I don't know much about Jintian County, but if it's Jintian County, I don't know about the county test." At least I have some understanding of the topic, so I still need Mr. Jintian County.”
Yang Haiyan, after listening to Qin Fang's analysis, you also think it makes sense: "My husband, I'd better think about it carefully."
After dinner, the couple took a walk to Liuxinyuan and mentioned the matter of Qin Shouye to the elders at home. When they heard that Qin Shouye was about to die, the elders at home were shocked. To be honest, they have really never thought about Qin Shouye's affairs, and they have never thought about how promising Qin Shouye will be. Maybe Qin Fang is too popular, so everyone in the family is thinking about him. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to others.
Moreover, they all came from the fields, so they didn't care about studying, and Qin Shouye had always been very good, so... they ignored Qin Shouye over time.
Therefore, whenever Qin Shouye encounters something, he should tell his eldest brother first, not his parents.
