Who Cares

Chapter 4: Conspiracy

Guan Suyi picks and chooses among the many posts, and Zhong will introduce which son she picks up. It can be seen that she has already sent someone to inquire about it clearly. In her life, she has only one daughter, Guan Suyi, and naturally she dare not take her daughter's marriage lightly.

However, the news from the matchmaker or neighbors is accurate, and most of them are untrue and glorious words. As Guan Suyi listened carefully, she sighed in her heart: Among the seven or eight men of the right age, according to her last life, there were at least six wives and concubines in the house in groups, and the back house was chaotic; and one died before the weak crown. And their family status is comparable to that of the Guan family, with neither power nor wealth. However, even so, they have to accept concubines one by one, as if they are comparing something, they are not entrusted to their beloved for life.

Nowadays, women still have some status that is hard to stop. After four or five years, Xu's Neo-Confucianism is completely prevalent. His thought of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires" has spawned a large number of hypocrites, and has pushed the oppression and cruelty of women to the extreme.

Guan Suyi has really experienced it once, as if she has regarded marriage as a daunting way, so where can she dare to jump into the fire pit? But she couldn't tell her mother about her experience. After thinking about it for a moment, she replied, "Mother, we still need to find someone who knows the bottom line, lest her daughter will be wronged but have nowhere to complain after marrying. Grandfather and father are all over the world. There will be several disciples coming to Yanjing together, so wait and see. After all, marrying is a life-long event and must be done carefully. My daughter would rather put it aside for another three years than pay by mistake."

The Zhong family was also reluctant to suffer from his daughter. He was still a daughter at home, and became a little daughter-in-law when he went out. In private, he didn’t know how to be harassed by his in-laws and husband. Day is a teacher and a father for life", I never dared to treat her too badly.

Thinking of this, Zhong hurriedly retracted the post, and he was planning to write down one by one after a while. She thought for a moment, and smiled, "Fortunately, you reminded my mother that my mother remembered that your four brothers will be entering Beijing in a few days. Although his family is embarrassed, his talents and character are first-class, and his parents are both. Honest person, I just don’t know if you want to suffer from poverty."

How can poverty be regarded as suffering? Even though Guan Suyi smiled, she was about to nod and promised but stopped in time. The fourth brother is indeed a rare good son in the world. He has a good character and is full of learning. If you marry him, even if you eat chaffy vegetables every day, it will be more comfortable than staying in Zhenbeihoufu to enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the beautiful clothes and the beautiful clothes.

But the problem is that in his previous life, his wife was another person. The husband and wife had a sound and mellow voice, and they were loving and white-headed. If they agreed at this time, it would seem to have stolen the fate of others. If she takes away the luck of others because of her own misfortune, Guan Suyi can't pass the hurdle in her heart. In my memory, a man like Senior Brother Si who can rely on for life is rare in the world. If he misses it at this time, he may fall into another quagmire. Guan Suyi can't help but shook his head and sighed, "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry."

"As a woman, how can you not marry? Yiyibie is shy, right?" The Zhong clan embraced his daughter and patted.

Guan Suyi also knew that she was a little silly, so she changed her words, "Mother, the fourth brother's family is poor, and my daughter is afraid that she can't bear the suffering. Please take another look." Next time I will continue to find excuses to push it away. In her life, she would rather be a female crown than marry.

Zhong squeezed his daughter's tender little face, and thought to himself: I can't stand the hardship. It's not like Yiyi said if he dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Don't this child have a sweetheart but be ashamed to be provocative, right? She hinted over and over again that I was looking for my husband’s disciples, which one did I see? It's not a small four, is it a small six? Minglan and Mingfang have to be found and asked carefully.

When Zhong's family was busy marrying his daughter Zhang Luo, Mrs. Ye handed out the sign and went to see him in the palace. In the Ganquan Palace, the mother and daughter held back a secret conversation.

"Where is Guan Suyi's sacred? Your Majesty is worried about it?" Ye Zhen's eyes were full of stern expression.

"Your father has checked it out. Guan Suyi is the granddaughter of Confucian master Guan Qiguang. She had a relationship with your majesty at the Jueyin Temple that day. Xu had taken a fancy to it at that time." Ye Mu said anxiously, "Now The emperor has announced to the world, canonized Kong Ming as a sage of Confucianism, a teacher of the world, and praised Confucianism as the way of the king, and built a Confucian temple in the suburbs of Beijing, wanting to go to worship in person. Nowadays, Confucian scholars have been reused, as the master of Confucianism, Guan Qiguang is in a high position and can be expected. Your father has received definite news. In two days, his majesty will call Guan family father and son to be an official. Guan Yunqi will be named Taichangqing by Jin. They are worth ten thousand stones. Before this, they were just ordinary people, without power and influence."

When the words were over, Liu showed a gritted expression, showing that he was extremely unhappy about the sudden wealth of the Guan family.

Ye Zhen was also greatly shocked, and said in surprise, "Tai Changqing? That is the head of the Jiuqing, in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, the status is very precious. And the official position of the emperor is unprecedented, the rank is ten thousand stones, and the honor is comparable. The prime minister, how do they deserve to be worthy of their common people?"

The Liu hurriedly agreed, "Yes, your father is still the head of the country, but he only sealed a Taishi Cheng with a salary of four hundred stones, and he could not even support his family. Before Guan Suyi entered the palace, the emperor carried Guan's house to him. With such a high position, does it mean that she cannot be canonized as a queen?"

Ye Zhen immediately denied, "With the queen mother, the queen has no turn for a Han woman to do it."

"But there is still a place of Zhaoyi, did you forget?" Liu reminded worriedly.

Yes, there is Zhaoyi above Jieyu, who is the "Vice Empress", who is also powerful enough to overwhelm himself. If the emperor wanted to promote Confucianism, he would naturally elevate the Guan family, a position of Zhaoyi, he would definitely be willing. Ye Zhen frowned and tightened, and said, "How is Guan Suyi's appearance?"

Liu's eyes flickered, and he was about to modify his words, but he listened to her daughter's stern command, "To tell the truth! If you deliberately belittle her, my palace will underestimate the enemy. You should know how underestimating the enemy will end."

The back home is full of swords and shadows, intrigues and deceit, let alone the palace where the dirt is hidden? If the daughter is a little careless, she will lose everything, and the Ye family will surely fall. Thinking of this, Liu did not dare to conceal it, and said anxiously, "Na Guan Suyi has followed Guan Qiguang to study literary characters since childhood. Guan Qiguang is a gentleman who is proficient in all six arts, poetry, ci, song, and fu. Fang also praised him as a generation of literary magnates, and his talents and scholarship are evident..."

Where is Ye Zhen patiently listening to Guan Qiguang's deeds, and was about to wave his hand to interrupt, but listened to his mother's words, "Someone once said that Guan Suyiqing is better than blue because of blue, and his talent is not under Guan Qiguang, Guan Qiguang is such a modest and prudent person. , But also nodded and smiled, showing that she agrees with Guan Suyi's talents. Niangniang, you are afraid that she is inferior to her in this aspect."

Ye Zhen gently curled the corners of his lips and asked, "What about his looks?"

Seeing her daughter's conceited look, the Liu family became more afraid to hide it, "Do you remember the poem "Shuo Ren"? Guan Suyi's appearance is about comparable to Zhuang Jiang."

Ye Zhen was stunned for a while before speaking with a trembling voice, "It's a big man... his hands are like catkins, his skin is like fat, his collar is like a grub, his teeth are like a rhinoceros, his head and eyebrows are like a rhinoceros, he smiles beautifully and looks forward to his beautiful eyes. Is that true? Someone really grows up like this?"

Liu's nodded heavily, "My sister-in-law and I have both quietly visited, and it is true. You and her...you are still a little bit worse than her."

Ye Zhen heard the jealousy and helplessness in his mother's voice. I am afraid that it is not only "a little bit worse", but a lot, right? She is so beautiful and beautiful, she can't imagine what a woman who is more outstanding than herself should be? She can't compare with her talents and her looks. Now even her family background is overwhelmed. When Guan Suyi enters the palace, how can she survive? In recent years, she has offended the queen mother and other concubines all over the world. Seeing her fall out of favor, these people will surely fall into trouble and leave no room for it.

When Ye Zhen was frightened and uneasy, Liu's family counseled, "Manny, don't think about it, things may not be so bad. Your Majesty has no heirs now. As long as you give birth to the first prince, you can be promoted to Zhao Zhao. Yi. Your Majesty has petted you for several years. Is his deep affection comparable to others? You must stay steady at this time."

Speaking of offspring, Ye Zhen quickly flashed a bit of bitterness in his eyes, but hurriedly covered it, for fear that his mother would see the clue.

Liu didn’t check, and continued, “Although Zhong is looking at people for Guan Suyi recently, the queen mother will soon call a beautiful woman into the palace for selection. This marriage is definitely not going to happen. I plan to come together with your father. A trick to draw a salary from the bottom of the pan will ruin her innocence first."

Ye Zhen pondered for a moment and waved his hand, "No! My palace and His Majesty spent two years at the border. Although he never guessed what he thought, he knew more or less his way of doing things. He decided to reuse the Guan family and his son, he will definitely send. People are staring at them all the time. If something happens to Guan Suyi at such a critical juncture, your majesty will definitely investigate it to the end. Are you sure you can avoid your majesty's eyes and ears?"

Avoid Huo Shengzhe's eyes and ears? I am afraid that only ghosts and gods dare to answer this sentence. In the world, there are only things he doesn't want or even disdains to know, but there is nothing he can't know.

"What can I do then? Let Guan Suyi Shun Shun enter the palace right away?" Liu's tone was anxious.

"She must never enter the palace!" Ye Zhen closed his eyes fiercely, and was unable to wave his hands when he opened them again, "You go back first, let Dad not act rashly. He is a little Tai Shi Cheng, what big things can he do?"

"He is indeed a low-ranking official, but you are Ms. Jieyu anyway. You often blow pillow breeze to the emperor. Why don't we go up there?" The Liu family wanted to say more, but was invited out by two grand ladies.

Ye Hao thought for a long time, and finally slowly unrolled a piece of rice paper, and raised a pen to ask someone for help. Guan Suyi can't enter the palace, so let her marry. She pointed out a rare good marriage in the world, but she was not sure, and she would have to kowtow to her in the future.

After making the last stroke, Ye Zhen smiled briskly.
