Chapter 9
Chapter 9: Negotiate
Li Baolu couldn’t catch up with her grandmother’s brainwaves. Grandmother brought her here because she traveled through mountains and rivers to be a child bride?
And she has to worry about not being this child bride?
Li Baolu followed her grandmother in a stupor and was placed in the guest room by He Zipei, and only recovered when she passed by the second yard.
The Qin family’s house is huge!
The Li family is a large courtyard with five large rooms in the front and two wing rooms on the left and right sides. Li Baolu felt that the Li family was already big enough, but I didn’t expect the Qin family to be bigger than the Li family, because it was a large house with three entrances. .
Even an exiled criminal would not have a bad day, Li Baolu vaguely understood something.
It turns out that Li Baolu’s thinking is still too superficial, and the grandparents and grandchildren taught her as soon as they sat down.
“Baolu, the Qin family has a clean and upright family, and has been a scholar from generation to generation. Originally, my grandmother did not have this delusion, but time is pressing, and my grandmother can’t find a better candidate than the Qin family.” Wan sighed: “You If you are fortunate enough to enter the Qin family, you must be obedient and obedient, and you must also learn from Mrs. Qin, so as to benefit future generations…”
The Qin family has a good family style. Baolu and their cousin are engaged, so there is nothing to worry about.
Baolu asked curiously, “Grandma, why were they exiled?”
My grandfather was banished and exiled because he offended nobles in the palace that he could not offend. What about the Qin family whose status is higher than theirs?
Wan sighed: “Just like our family, I offended nobles, and that’s why I was framed so far.”
“It can’t be the same noble person, right?”
Wan Shi nodded with a sinking face.
Li Baolu is horrified, so she can leave Qiongzhou Mansion in Congliang, so does she dare to leave?
“So our two families have common interests,” Wan said, “and your grandfather and father are kind to the Qin family.”
Wan thought about it, and finally decided to tell her granddaughter the cause and effect, even if she didn’t understand it, it didn’t matter. Write it down first, it might be useful later.
“Mr. Qin’s family happened to meet the bandits when they first arrived at Qiongzhou Mansion, and the yamen who escorted them left them and fled for their lives alone. It happened that your father was hunting with the strong boys in the village, and your father led the bandits away. Only to save the lives of Mr. Qin’s family.”
“Mr. Qin’s younger sister was frightened and had a difficult labor. It was your father who rushed back and invited your father and I to deliver the baby. Speaking of which, I personally delivered the child, Mr. Gu.” Mrs Wan looked at Bao Lu and said with a smile: ” Although a little thin, I heard from your grandfather that he is very handsome, even more handsome than his uncle. You must know that Mr. Qin is a famously handsome man in Kyoto.”
Li Baolu: “…” Grandma, she is only three years old!
“Furthermore, Mrs. Qin and Young Master Gu are good records. Although I don’t know why Mrs. Qin came to this place of exile with Mr. Qin, it’s not as bad as marrying a daughter. It’s a court order. She is married, so the affairs of the Qin family are not related to her. It’s related, so Young Master Gu is also a good member, Baolu, if the Qin family can agree to this marriage, then you will be a good member after marrying Young Master Gu, and you can follow him out of Qiongzhou Mansion, his father’s family is in the capital I’m sure I won’t stay here forever.”
Since his father’s family is in the capital, why did his mother bring him here?
Li Baolu’s intuition was wrong, but her grandmother’s experience was all there. Since she didn’t mention it, she had to hold back the question and told herself repeatedly in her heart – you are only three years old, you are only three years old!
The Qin family is the best family that Wan can find now. After all, the two sides can be said to know the bottom line.
Li Bo had contacts with the Qin family as early as in Kyoto.
There is no way. As a court judge, many powerful and powerful people like to ask him to help him see a doctor in private, and the Qin family is naturally among the powerful.
After arriving in the exiled land, the two families moved more closely. In addition to the reason that the Li family was the savior of the Qin family, they also had the same enemy, and their three views were maintained on the same plane. Li Bo and Qin Mr. is a long-term friend, and the relationship is still very good.
So Wan was familiar with the temperament of the Qin family, and she gave Baolu to them with ninety-nine hearts, and she died immediately, and her eyes were almost closed.
Like the Wan family, the Qin family has a good understanding of the Li family.
Imperial Physician Li often came to their house to see a doctor. He Zipei also knew the situation of the Li family with more communication.
Wan’s first impression of her marriage was rejection, but after thinking about it, she was three percent willing.
Now the situation in the DPRK is dangerous, which is very unfavorable to them. They may not have the life to go back. In this case, they should make plans for their sister-in-law and nephew.
He Zipei thought about it, looked up and saw Qin Wenyin, who was half leaning against the window in a daze, she couldn’t help sighing, and she was more willing.
Qin Xinfang came back with his nephew, Gu Jingyun, and looked up at his bright-eyed wife.
Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun felt their backs tense at the same time, Qin Xinfang pretended to be calm and let go of Gu Jingyun’s hand, biting his head and smiled with He Zipei, “Is this lady here to pick you up for my husband?”
He Zipei gave him a strange look, then smiled at Gu Jingyun: “Jingyun, we have a little guest at our house, why don’t you go and play with her?”
Gu Jingyun’s little face wrinkled, and raised his eyebrows like a little adult: “I don’t like playing with children.”
He Zipei laughed, “You are still a child yourself, she is our guest, and you are the master, so you have to entertain people and fulfill the obligations of the master. Come on, the little sister is in the guest room.”
Gu Jingyun heard that it was a girl, and his heart was a little bit excited, and he hated crying little girls the most.
But seeing his aunt looking at him threateningly, he could only endure the humiliation and go to the guest room.
Qin Xinfang looked at his nephew, who was advancing like a strong man, with a funny look. Just as he was about to make a joke, he was swept away by his wife’s eye knife. He immediately put away the smile on his face, and went to the flower hall with his wife seriously. On the way, he asked, “What? Guest, why did you bring a child?”
Their family knew few people in the exiled land, and even fewer were able to communicate with each other. Qin Xinfang really couldn’t think of anyone who would bring a child as a guest.
“It was Imperial Doctor Li’s wife who brought her granddaughter here,” He Zipei said in a low voice: “Doctor Li was shipwrecked, and his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were among them.”
Qin Xinfang was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly: “We didn’t receive any news at all.”
“The Li family has not recovered the body. If you are interested, go to the beach to pay homage.”
Qin Xinfang was a little sad, nodded and said, “Mrs. Li must have difficulty in coming to the door at this time, you invite her to the flower hall, we can help her if we can.”
“She has already told me,” He Zipei looked up at her husband and said, “She wants to marry our family.”
“Who is with whom?” As soon as he said that, he immediately reacted and frowned, “Her granddaughter and Jingyun?”
He Zipei nodded, “I’ve seen that kid before. He’s white and chubby, with round eyes. Not only is he healthy, but he looks smart.”
Qin Xinfang frowned and said, “Our family never wants a baby to be kissed.”
“It’s not a baby girl,” He Zipei glanced at him and said, “Mrs. Li wants to keep her granddaughter in our house as a child bride.”
Qin Xinfang was angry when she heard the words, blushing and said, “It’s just nonsense, how could she do such a stupid thing just after Brother Li passed away?”
Only a family who is too poor to raise a child will send a girl to be a child bride. The child bride has no dowry, and the food, drink, housing and various expenses are all at her husband’s house. How well can such a woman live in her husband’s house?
“Can you think of Mrs. Li who can’t think of it?” He Zipei glanced at him strangely, and said, “I don’t think Mrs. Li is a money-loving person. Listening to her, the second son of the Li family doesn’t seem to be willing to raise his niece.”
He Zipei sighed: “This is a place of exile, there is no clan constraint, Li Erlang is unwilling to raise his niece, so there is a way to abandon her.”
He Zipei said in a low voice: “I see that Mrs. Li’s health is not very good, her face is pale, and her hands and feet trembled when I opened the door for her.”
Qin Xinfang looked at He Zipei in surprise, “Do you want to settle this marriage?” Otherwise, his wife would not have explained so much for her.
He Zipei nodded with a sullen face, and said, “I mean this, but if the matter is important, I have to ask you and Wen Yin’s opinion.”
“Why?” Children are easy to die. In order not to let their children carry the notoriety of being a parent, they will never marry their children prematurely if it is not necessary, let alone adopt a child or a daughter-in-law.
Later, when Jingyun returned to the capital, it was enough to make people laugh at him only by marrying a child bride.
He Zipei was calmer than Qin Xinfang on this matter. She asked, “Are you sure we can go back to Kyoto?”
Qin Xinfang was silent.
He Zipei continued: “Are you sure that Wen Yin and Jing Yun can survive if they return to the capital?”
“Jun De, our enemy is too powerful. When Wen Yin was pregnant and dragged with a sick body, she had to follow us to Qiongzhou Mansion. Isn’t it because she would not live long in the capital? Don’t forget, Jing Yun, he His surname is Gu, if he returns to the capital, how do you think they will arrange Jing Yun’s future for a family like Gu’s treacherous family?” He Zipei’s eyes flashed a cold light, and said, “Even if there is a lack of food and drink here, and all kinds of inconveniences, but Jing Yun He grew up in our hands, and he has the blood of my Qin family in him, so why should he look at people’s eyes and live with a sigh of relief?”
“But it’s too difficult for Jing Yun to marry a good wife. We don’t ask for each other’s family background, as long as the character can be outstanding, but how many small families can raise such a lady?” He Zipei said domineeringly: “If that’s the case, it’s better for us to teach her, so what about Tong Yang’s daughter-in-law? As long as we treat her with respect, she will be no worse than others with self-esteem and self-love. Isn’t it because she doesn’t have a maiden family, we Qin’s family are her maiden family! ”
Qin Xinfang was silent.
“Brother, just do as my sister-in-law said.” Qin Wenyin said weakly, holding the door frame.
Qin Xinfang immediately got up and went to help her, annoyed: “It’s better, why did you come out to blow your hair again? Do you still want this body?”
He Zipei also hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, reached out to touch her hand, and when it was cold, he said with some concern, “If you have something to call, why bother to run out?”
“After staying in the house for a long time, I wanted to go out for a walk, but I happened to hear the elder brother and elder sister-in-law talking,” Qin Wenyin said with a smile, “Brother, I think the elder sister-in-law is right, unless the crown prince ascends the throne to rehabilitate our Qin family, otherwise Jing Yun will live forever. Don’t even think about marrying a daughter from a good family. What kind of good wife can someone like Gu Huaijin find for my son? Rather than waiting for Jingyun to get married to the Gu family after returning to the capital, we might as well settle everything now.”
“There’s nothing wrong with a child bride. When the time comes, the elder brother and elder sister-in-law will bring her up by himself. Are you worried that Jingyun doesn’t have a good wife?” Qin Wenyin said with bright eyes.
