"I've met my aunt. My cousin, you're here too." Qin Hao put the two little ones down and held them in his hands.
Xiao Qin smiled like the Bodhisattva in the temple and looked kind and kind, but Qin Hao always felt it was a bit fake.
"You don't have to be polite, Lord Marquis. This trip lasted for more than a year, and it was hard enough."
Qin Hao smiled faintly, "It's all as it should be, after all. Being alone outside is not hard at all, but mother and Yanran have to take care of the family business and the children, which is really hard work."
Ms. Qin Liu looked at her son with a smile, it was really hard. The more I read, the more pleased I became. "Okay, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Let's all sit down and eat. Brother Ming and Sister Lan are both very hungry."
Brother Ming is very well-behaved. , without saying a word, he sat down and waited for the adults to move quickly. Sister Lan sat directly in Qin Hao's arms, "Dad, I want to eat that jasmine tea cheese."
Yu Yanran's expression changed, He glared at his daughter.
The girl just wanted to have a snack, so Qin Hao was naturally satisfied. He took a spoonful of the spoon and fed it to her mouth.
Sister Lan opened her mouth and ate happily. After finishing the meal, she smiled sweetly, "Thank you, daddy."
This sound sweetened Qin Hao's heart. , kissed her daughter on the face, "You are so good."
When Xiao Qin saw this happy scene of the whole family, she felt infinite jealousy in her heart. She lost her husband in middle age and her son was not good enough.
Gu Tingwei was fine. During the meal, he kept asking Qin Hao about what he had seen along the way. Of course, the most important ones were the famous oirans from Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion in Jiangnan Road.
Xiao Qin glared at him, but unfortunately Gu Tingwei didn't notice it at all. He was now like a canary raised by Xiao Qin in Ningyuan Hou Mansion, full of knowledge about the outside world. Yearning, but he didn't know that the sky outside was not only blue sky and white clouds, but also strong wind and rain. With his small wings, he left the protection of Xiao Qin's family and didn't know where he would fall to death.
After breakfast, Xiao Qin explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that he wanted Qin Hao to help Gu Tingwei with a certain errand. Originally, this was not a problem when Gu Yankai was here, but since Gu Yankai died, After that, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion plummeted, and all the nobles in Bianjing City knew that Gu Tingye and the Xiao Qin family couldn't deal with each other.
Helping Xiao Qin will undoubtedly risk offending Gu Tingye, which is not cost-effective. Xiao Qin is now even afraid to accept gifts from others, which makes her even more jealous.
After all, she was an aunt, so Qin Hao couldn't refuse, so he said, "It's not a problem to help cousin Ting Wei find a job. It's just that cousin Ting Wei was involved in a conspiracy last time, so he might not be able to do it." "What a good job."
In fact, the main reason is that Qin Hao knows Gu Tingye's abilities. If he is transferred to the real power department, he will definitely harm others and himself. He can still cope with it by taking a false position, just like Qin Junye. , I go to order Mao every day and receive a salary, which sounds better when I talk about it outside.
Xiao Qin wanted the same thing, and quickly said, "As long as there is a businessIt would be good if Ting Wei could calm down. "
"That's no problem. I'll go for a walk in a while and try my best to help cousin Ting Wei find a decent job. "Qin Hao agreed wholeheartedly. With his current status, it's just a sinecure. It's just a matter of one sentence. Of course, he can't be too careless, otherwise Xiao Qin might have other requests.
Gu Tingwei cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Thank you very much, cousin. ”
“We are all part of the same family. "Qin Hao patted Gu Tingwei on the shoulder. In fact, he had a good impression of this cousin. Although he was a dude, he was a worry-free dude with no ambition.
What the noble family is most afraid of It's that kind of dandy who is pretentious but has mediocre abilities, which will cause endless troubles, and the whole family will suffer together.
On the way back, Xiao Qin saw Gu Tingwei still being silly and happy. He was so angry that he reprimanded
"You still have the nerve to smile. Think about what the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was like when your father was alive. Look at it now, since Gu Tingye took over the title. What kind of life do we two have?"
Gu Tingwei said impatiently, "Mother, why are you making trouble with this again? The second brother has dignity in front of the official family. According to the theory of eldest son, he should take his turn. When he seizes the title, can my mother still let the officials take away the title of my second brother and let me inherit it?"
Xiao Qin was so angry that her liver trembled, she pointed at Gu Tingwei's nose and yelled, "How can I raise him? You are such a worthless thing, then Gu Tingye was born to a merchant woman, and your mother is the legitimate daughter of Dongchang Hou Mansion, why should you let him, Gu Tingye, seize the title?"
Gu Tingwei curled his lips and said, "Dongchang Houfu If the Changhou Mansion had not produced such a distinguished person as my cousin, I don’t know what kind of abjection it would be now, why would you mention that?”
Xiao Qin covered her chest and said in a depressed voice, “You bastard, that’s the case. Your cousin is making progress on his own. Look at your cousin, who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He has won the trust of officials and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Why don’t you learn from him? You spend all day having fun with those gangsters. You It's so funny."
Gu Tingwei spread his hands in a bachelor manner, "Mother, if you think your cousin is good, you should pray to the Bodhisattva when you were pregnant with me and let my cousin be born in your belly. Yes. , I don’t have the literary talent or martial arts of my cousin, nor am I as resourceful as my cousin, but if you count the many noble children in Bianjing City, who can reach the heights of my cousin?”
"At the beginning, I wanted to practice martial arts with my father. It was you who said that practicing martial arts was too hard and wouldn't let me practice. What could I do?"
After saying that, Gu Tingwei shouted, "Stop the car. ”
With that said, he got off the carriage and went to find someone to drink to relieve his depression.
Little Qin was left alone pointing at his back and was so angry that he almost fainted.
Xiang Mom saw this and persuaded her, "Madam, brother Wei's errand is now settled, you don't have to push too hard, let him adapt slowly. "
Xiao Qin took a breath, angrily hammered the carriage cushion a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm still getting used to waiting for Gu.Ting Ye has given birth to an evil son, and this title will have nothing to do with Ting Wei at all. How much time do we have?”
It’s hard to persuade her mother after hearing this.
Xiao Qin He looked in the direction of Chengyuan with cold eyes, "Huh, Gu Tingye, let's see how long you can be proud of it."
On the other side, after breakfast, Qin Hao and Yu Yanran went to Chengyuan with their children. After all, Should he find a job for Gu Tingwei, or should he meet Gu Tingye in advance?
At this time, Gu Tingye was practicing martial arts in the yard, and Minglan was still sleeping in bed.
Gu Tingye saw it. Qin Hao's family came over and immediately stopped holding the spear in their hands, for fear of hurting the child.
"Haha, why did Zihan come to my house just after he came back?" Gu Tingye said with a smile. >Brother Ming bowed to Gu Tingye in a polite manner, looking like a young adult, "Second uncle. "
Gu Tingye has always liked Brother Ming. He laughed and hugged him up. "You are so good. Have you eaten?"
"Have you eaten? Just now, my aunt and third cousin My uncle is here too, and we eat together. "Brother Ming answered solemnly.
As soon as Gu Tingye heard this, he understood that Qin Haolai must have something to do, but he did not rush to ask, but said to Sister Lan next to him, "Sister Lan, I haven’t paid tribute to my second uncle yet. "
Yu Yanran glared at Sister Lan fiercely.
Sister Lan immediately hid behind Qin Hao and whispered, "Dad, my second uncle is sweating a lot." "
"Haha, look, my daughter dislikes you, why don't you go and clean yourself up quickly? "Qin Hao smiled.
Gu Tingye could only sigh, "It's better to be my son. "
Unexpectedly, Brother Ming also whispered, "Second uncle, you'd better put me down. The sweat on your body has soaked my clothes." "
Gu Tingye was not angry. Instead, he buried his face in brother Ming's body and wiped it like a prank.
"Since it's already dirty, just wash it with your second uncle. . "
"Haha" everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Tingye took Brother Ming to take a bath. Minglan was still sleeping, so Qin Hao had to wait in the yard, but Yu Yanran Entering the room with Sister Lan
Sister Lan climbed directly to the head of the bed, lay down in Minglan’s ear and shouted, “Second Aunt Minglan, get up, the sun is shining on your butt.”
Qin Hao actually said this to Yu Yanran, but Yu Yanran used it to urge Sister Lan, and now Sister Lan used it on Minglan again.
Minglan is obsessed with it. When Mi Huhu saw a small figure in Mo Hu, not only did he not get up, but he was suddenly wrapped into the quilt by Ming Lan.
"Sister Lan must be sleepy after getting up so early, please accompany me." Auntie will take another nap. ”
Sister Lan’s favorite is this second aunt, because Minglan will accompany her crazy and giggle with joy.
Yu Yanran opened the quilt angrily and poked He touched Minglan's forehead and said, "You, after all, are the eldest daughter of the Hou family, why are you still acting like a child?"
Minglan was pulled up, still yawning, and complained, "Sister Yanran, it's okay to pretend in front of outsiders. They are all family members, so it would be better to be casual. They are all like you, being polite all day long. It’s so tiring to live with the airs of the eldest lady of the Hou family.”
“Hey, you’re still criticizing me.” Yu Yanran glared at Minglan.
Minglan had no choice but to beg for mercy. Sister Lan was behind Yu Yanran and imitated her way of scolding Minglan, causing Minglan to break the skill instantly.
When Yu Yanran looked back, she felt angry and happy.
Sister Lan hurriedly hid behind Minglan to seek shelter, but unfortunately she still received two slaps on the butt.
This time Minglan was completely awake. She was dressed up and dressed by Dan Ju. Gu Tingye had also finished washing and was coming over just in time.
Although they had already eaten, Qin Hao’s family still came to the table and took a few bites.
While eating, Qin Hao told the story about Xiao Qin's coming to Gu Tingwei in the morning to find work.
Gu Tingye was silent for a moment and said, "Ting Wei is actually good. If it weren't for my stepmother, we could get along very well. Since you are asking for your cousin, you can't shirk it. Then Just help Ting Wei."
"Okay, then I'll clear the relationship." Qin Hao nodded.
After breakfast, Qin Hao went to the Privy Council.
"Marquis Qin."
"Marquis Jinghai."
Many people took the initiative to salute Qin Hao along the way, although he, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was very Shao works here, but there are very few people in the court who don't know him.
Qin Hao walked all the way to the cubicle in the Privy Council. The people working here were all officials of fifth rank or above.
Although the rank is not high, if you take anyone out casually, the noble generals outside will be polite, because all military orders are issued from here.
Of course, there are also personnel appointments. Generally, the appointment of civil servants is made by the Ministry of Personnel, but the appointment of military attaches is not made by the Ministry of War, but by the Privy Council.
"Marquis Qin."
Qin Hao waved his hands to everyone and said with a smile, "There is no need to be polite, I am just an idler, you are busy with your business."
Said Qin Hao continued walking inside, came to a small room, opened the door and entered.
"The Marquis of Qin is so free to come and sit here today" Tongyi Marquis Wang Qiao asked with a smile.
Qin Hao closed the door and explained the situation without hiding it.
Wang Qiao frowned slightly when he heard this, "I remember that Gu Hou seemed to have a bad relationship with his stepmother."
Qin Hao waved his hand, "It's just spreading rumors. I just said it from When my cousin came over, he asked me to find a good job for cousin Ting Wei."
Family scandals should not be made public, and Qin Hao did not want outsiders to laugh at him.
Wang Qiao laughed when he heard this and said, "In that case, it's no problem. Mr. Gu is the legitimate son of Marquis Ningyuan. Logically speaking, asking for help is not a big problem."
< p>As he said this, he thought for a moment, "If the Marquis of Qin doesn't mind that the rank is too low, there happens to be a vacancy for the rank of seventh-grade Zhiguo captain. Otherwise, I should aggrieve Young Master Gu. If there is a better vacancy in the future, I will mention it to Young Master Gu." Mention"Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. No wonder this old fox was allowed to take charge of the appointment of generals in the Privy Council.
Zhiguo Xiaowei is a seventh-grade casual official. He basically doesn’t have to take care of things. Even though his rank is not high, it is also one of the most suitable positions for nobles to fill vacancies. It's high, and it's easy for officials to see it, but it also has a lot of responsibility. If someone gets lost, there may be a risk of losing his head, and he has to stand guard in the wind and sun, which is too hard.
Of course, the official position of a gunman like this cannot be vacant for nothing. It is obviously reserved for the noble disciples with relatively strong connections. Wang Qiao can be regarded as selling a small favor.
Qin Hao was naturally not good at taking advantage of others, so he said in a low voice, "I am planning to build two soap workshops recently, and I am a little shy about the money. I wonder if Marquis Tongyi is interested in taking a share." ”
Wang Qiao understood it and agreed with a smile. Who in Bianjing City doesn’t know that the soap business is a daily business that makes a lot of money. How could he not take advantage of the money? This is to give him money.
Soon, the appointment of Captain Zhiguo was sent to Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and Gu Tingwei was very happy.
"Sure enough, my cousin is too proud to do it so quickly. Now the second son of the Zou family will envy me to death."
Although the seventh-grade military attache is in Bianjing City It doesn’t count, but how high-end are the noble disciples that Gu Tingye can make friends with? They are all dandies who are lying on the merits of their ancestors and waiting to die. This level is enough for Gu Tingye to become the most outstanding among these dandies. So bright.
Xiao Qin's originally good mood was instantly dampened by Gu Tingwei.
"A seventh-rank official is so happy for you. Think about your father back then, but when he reached the third rank, he was qualified to wear purple robes and go to court."
Gu Tingwei was a little dissatisfied. Patiently "Mom, why are you here again?"
As he spoke, Gu Tingwei quickly returned to his courtyard and showed off to his wife that he was about to become the captain of Zhiguo. His wife was very happy and said some words of encouragement. , but it made Gu Tingwei feel a lot better.
After hearing this, the two wives from the fourth and fifth bedrooms were very itchy. Last time, their sons were arrested together with Gu Tingwei. As a result, Gu Tingwei did not let the matter out. They were all beaten and couldn't get out of bed for more than a month, which made them very angry.
"Master, you have to think of something. The Xiao Qin family also has the Dongchang Marquis Mansion for help. Her nephew is now the Marquis of Jinghai, and the sacred scroll is thick. He can give it to Gu Tingwei in just one sentence. What are we going to do about a seventh-grade job?"
The fifth master also looked depressed. He had been studying for many years, but he had not even passed the examination. The highest position was only a seventh-grade job. As a result, Gu Tingwei had a higher position than him.
"What can you do? Who will let youIf you can't rely on your mother's family, you can also go to your mother's family to find someone to find a better job for your son."
The eldest wife of the fifth house was choked to the point of being unable to speak, and could only sob non-stop.
When the fifth master saw this, he could only comfort him and said, "Okay, you still can't see clearly the situation in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Don't let me use my sister-in-law as a weapon to go against Gu Tingye again." , Now that Gu Tingye’s holy book is thick, if we mess with him, we will get some good results.”
The eldest wife of the fifth room could only say submissively, “Just listen to the master.” ”
On the other side, in Chengyuan, Minglan was taking Sister Lan and Brother Ming to fish in the backyard pond. Yu Yanran was watching carefully at the side, for fear that the two children would fall in.
p>
I don’t know if it’s because Ming Lan is good at fishing or because the fish in this pond are all artificially raised, so he doesn’t have any precautions, so he caught several fish very quickly
Ming Lan smiled. He said, "Sister Yanran is in a good mood today. I will ask the kitchen to make a pot of tofu and crucian carp soup for sister Yanran. It is the most delicious." ”
The two children clapped happily and played in front. Yu Yanran and Minglan walked slowly behind.
Yu Yanran looked at it worriedly. Minglan's belly "You and Gu Hou have been married for almost two years, why is there no movement in your belly?"
Minglan smiled and held Yu Yanran's arm, "Sister Yanran, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you so impatient?"
Yu Yanran slapped her angrily, "You still have the heart to laugh. You have been silent for more than a year, and I don't know how the outside world has spread the word about you. ”
“Oh, it’s been said that those noble families never call me when they have banquets on weekdays. Sister Yanran also asked me to come and listen. "Minglan was still smiling.
Yu Yanran pursed her lips, "What else can I say, it's just not virtuous enough. After being married for so long, you are still not allowed to take concubines.
Minglan said angrily, "That's because I didn't let him take a concubine. It was obviously because he refused, but he made me eat the first one." "
"And sister Yanran also had a child after marrying Qin Hou for more than two years. Why didn't anyone say anything about it?"
Yu Yanran gloated: " Who told your Gu Hou to have a bad reputation since he was a child? He is not like my Marquis. "
"In the end, it was him who caused the trouble, but he ruined my reputation. I'm really pissed off. "The more Minglan thought about it, the angrier she became.
As she was talking, a maid came to report.
"Madam, someone from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion has come, saying that they want to invite the eldest lady to come over. When I spoke to the government, I also said that your relatives are also here. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
