Before Xia Shang could ask questions, Qin Huairou laughed and explained.
"My third uncle has always been a good drinker, so I just gave him a jar of Wuliangye. He only smelled the smell of wine and forgot about everything else. He drank seven or eight bottles at a time, and ended up drunk in the room.
, now I’m afraid that no matter who calls me, I won’t be able to wake her up.”
"... Wuliangye? Drunk?" Xia Shang was a little confused.
Qin Huairou smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
"This... don't try to persuade me. You know, how can Wuliangye be treated as an ordinary drink?"
"Persuade? Your husband really wants me to persuade you?" Qin Huairou smiled, "Just now, my husband and my third uncle had only been chatting for a few words, and Xiaoyue said that I wanted to go back. In such a short period of time, no matter what happens,
I can’t explain clearly. If it wasn’t something important, Third Uncle would not let me avoid him. And then he asked me to leave and come back. It must be that Third Uncle told my husband something embarrassing and wanted me to go back again.
I must use my concubine’s mouth to block Third Uncle’s mouth. Since Third Uncle’s request embarrasses my husband, I don’t have to listen. It’s not a bad thing to let Third Uncle get so drunk.”
Xia Shang was greatly surprised when he heard this. Although he had expected that Qin Huairou would handle this matter well, he never expected that this lady was like a bug in his stomach, and her thoughts had not escaped her guess.
, all of them were actually correct.
"Madam, you really understand me."
Qin Huairou's smile gradually faded and she asked softly: "Although the third uncle is asleep now, this is just a delaying tactic. I was just about to ask my husband to ask, but I wonder what the third uncle said to make the husband so embarrassed?"
It is true that Qin Zhengtian fell asleep, but the words he said will not be forgotten just because he fell asleep. It is just suspended now. When he brings up the old things again, he should give people an explanation.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Shang still had nothing to hide: "The third uncle said two things. The first thing was that he asked me to clear up the relationship with the court and let the court issue an order to appoint the third uncle as the general of the New North Army. The second thing was
, asked me to support the Qin family and let the Qin family become my support in the capital."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Qin Huairou was so shocked that she could hardly believe her words.
ear.
Before finding Xia Shang, Qin Huairou also thought a lot about what her third uncle might say. But she never expected that his third uncle's request would be so bold and crazy.
It has been forty years since the Qin family left the capital. Qin Huairou has never seen the Qin family in the capital since she was born. She has only heard about it from her uncles since she was a child, telling them about the Qin family's past scenery in the capital.
At that time, the Qin family was indeed very famous in the capital, but later, due to some reasons, Qin Huairou's grandfather had to take everyone in the Qin family to leave the capital. Although Qin Huairou didn't know the reason for this, she had known it for a long time.
It is speculated that the reason why the Qin family left the capital should be related to the imperial court or the royal family.
Because if it had not offended the imperial court or the royal family, even if the Qin family left the capital, it would still be a powerful family in Yangzhou. However, Qin Huairou went through the most difficult period of the Qin family. In the most difficult time, the Qin family even
The family's expenses could not be sustained, and no one in Yangzhou City bought the Qin family's face.
This is also why a family of the founding fathers married their legitimate daughter to a merchant. The 10,000 taels of gold that the Xia family gave to the Qin family as a betrothal gift became a life-saving straw for the Qin family to get through the most difficult period.
Looking back on all the things in her family, Qin Huairou felt that her family was still somewhat mysterious. Because except for the third uncle who stayed in the New Taipei Army to join the army, everyone in the family had severed ties with the court. And
Qin Huairou had never heard that her father wanted to take the Qin family back to the capital, let alone participate in the political power of the capital.
However, from the third uncle's perspective, Qin Huairou can also understand the other party's thoughts. The third uncle has experienced the Qin family from glory to decline. Now that his status in the military has gradually increased, he naturally has some confidence. He hopes to
There is nothing wrong with leading the Qin family to restore its glory. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to just push the Qin family to the capital? Looking at it from another perspective, if you consider the situation of your husband, it is natural to have the Qin family as your backing.
Very good thing.
Considering the Qin family alone, Qin Huairou would still be hesitant, but if she considered her husband, Qin Huairou was really moved.
Xia Shang looked at his wife, who was silent in thought, and patted her shoulder gently: "What are you thinking about?"
"I am..."
Before Qin Huairou could say anything, Xia Shang interrupted: "Tell you, don't think about unrealistic things. This matter cannot be decided by your third uncle. Even if you want to sit down for something, you should ask your father-in-law first. Also,
Yes, my attitude is that I definitely don’t want the Qin family to get involved, because the situation in the capital is already complicated enough. My husband, I just want to protect myself, not to gain anything, so whether there is help or not, it has no impact on me at all.
"
Upon hearing what her husband said, Qin Huairou suddenly realized and said in her heart: "Yes, how can this matter be decided by the third uncle? The head of the Qin family is his father. Even if he wants to bring the Qin family back to the capital, he should obey his father.
s arrangement."
Thinking of this, Qin Huairou nodded: "I understand, now I will write a letter to my father and ask about the matter clearly. Before I get a reply from my father, I will take care of my third uncle."
"That's good." Xia Shang put aside the Qin family's affairs for the time being and said to Qin Huairou, "Madam, I have to leave Beijing for a few days."
"Li Jing? At this time?"
"Don't worry, it only takes three or four days, and I will be back before New Year's Eve. By the way, I can avoid this third uncle."
"As long as I can come back in time for the festival."
Qin Huairou said it lightly, but after listening to Xia Shang's words, she actually relaxed a lot. After all, the family came all the way from Suzhou in order to celebrate the New Year together. The New Year was about to come, and the backbone of the family was not there.
Everyone in the family is unhappy.
Xia Shang knew what his wife was thinking, so he smiled and rubbed her face, turned around and went out without saying anything else.
At the gate of Xia Mansion, the carriage leaving the city was ready. The two women had been waiting for a long time.
Chuntian didn't know that the carriage at the door was waiting for them. It wasn't until Xia Shang got on the carriage and greeted them in the carriage that he realized it.
Springfield came to the carriage in confusion and asked Xia Shang: "Where are we going? Why do we need a carriage?"
Xia Shang looked at Chunjiao: "I have to ask her, I just guessed a place, I don't know if it's right."
Chunjiao said calmly: "It's good to take a carriage. Don't be in a hurry. You can get there in a day and a half."
