Chapter 753 Qin Meiniang takes advantage of the situation
When Qin Meiniang came to the door of the prime minister's house, Mrs. Lin was talking about Beijing gossip with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Suddenly she heard the eldest maid coming to report that someone from the Qin family came to the door and handed over a purse.
When Mrs. Lin heard about the Qin family, she was stunned for a moment: "Which Qin family?" Suddenly she thought of a figure and asked happily: "Is it the Young Master?"
The confidant nanny opened her purse, revealing the clear white jade, and handed it to Mrs. Lin: "This is what you rewarded the young concubine. If she comes to visit, there is no need to bring a token."
"Yes, she is that eldest aunt Qin, the former wife of Song Liyang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who fell into the water and drowned during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. After the Qin family was defeated, she was abandoned by him and returned to her parents' family." The eldest maid explained the origin of Qin Meiniang. .
Mrs. Lin said: "Wherever you are, please come in."
She has also seen this Aunt Qin, who is gentle and soft-tempered. She also came to the door for some reason, and even came with a token, fearing that she wanted something.
Although Qin Meiniang took the token, she didn't expect that this old lady would actually meet her. She was happy but also a little worried. She didn't know if she was willing to take advantage of the opportunity.
With an uneasy heart, she came to Mrs. Lin's Shoukang Hall. When she saw the old lady with kind eyes and smile, Qin Meiniang bowed down and said, "Qin's Mei Niang pays her respects to the old lady and wishes the old lady good health."
"Okay, get up quickly, boss's wife, help her up quickly, you girls quickly serve tea and give me a seat."
Mrs. Lin smiled and stepped forward to help her, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last met when Master Yuncheng was giving a lecture at the Dharma Field of Huangjue Temple."
Qin Meiniang also saluted her and said with a smile, "I'm sorry Madam still remembers me."
Mrs. Lin asked: "Why did you come to Beijing? But the young master has something to ask of you?"
Qin Meiniang's face turned slightly red and she said: "First of all, I would like to thank the old lady for meeting me, a little woman who has only met me two or three times. To be honest, I have no choice but to come to the door this time. I am also the girl from Xi'er before coming to Beijing." She gave me some guidance. If there was no other way, I wouldn’t want to borrow this favor from her. It’s really..."
As she spoke, tears welled up and fell down.
Mrs. Lin was surprised and hurriedly stepped forward, patted her and said, "Hey, this is so good, why are you crying? If you have something to say, tell her slowly. If we can help, we will definitely help."
Qin Meiniang wiped her tears, stood up and knelt in front of the old lady, saying: "Old lady, I'm here to ask for your help to help the young woman take back her two daughters to avoid the hands of evil people."
Mrs. Lin frowned and said, "Get up and say it."
Qin Meiniang sniffed, took another sip of tea handed over by Mrs. Lin, thanked her, and calmed down a little. Then she thought about how the Qin family was defeated, why she and her daughter were abandoned by the Song family and returned to her parents' home, and then several times. How did Qin Liuxi see his eldest daughter's face and tell her fate a few months ago, as well as what happened after coming to Beijing.
"...He is just dead. Since he is Yuyan's biological father, the fact that the sisters came to attend the funeral is because of this shallow father-daughter bond. Otherwise, even if they don't return to Beijing and only stay in Li City to observe their filial piety, who can say anything? What? They have been abandoned, and they have established a female household with me, taking my surname." Qin Meiniang gritted her teeth and said: "The Song family's plan is disgusting. They want to sell my son to seek glory. It is really disgusting. I could have We fought with them to the death, but that only left my son with no hope. I am a divorced woman, and my natal family has been defeated again. I can't fight for the time being. I have no choice but to come here shamelessly, hoping that the old lady will come forward and help me bring my daughter out. , I would like to set up a longevity tablet for the old lady."
Mrs. Lin also looked disgusted and said, "They are so dirty during the filial piety period, and they are not afraid of losing face if the news spreads."
"If they want face, they won't abandon the girl. Later, they will think of the benefits they can bring, and do everything possible to get the girl back." As the saying goes, people become better with age. The Song family has done it so obviously. Who is here? Not knowing the twists and turns here, the old lady naturally understood what the Song family meant. In one sentence, it is nothing more than selling a daughter for glory.
Mrs. Lin looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, if this is not the case, I will invite them here in the name of Tang Yatou. After all, they are all young girls of about the same age. I said that I knew they had returned to Beijing and wanted to see them."
As for why the Song family wonders how Qin Yuyan and the two sisters knew the Xiangfu girl, it’s not just a matter of making it up.
Mrs. Lin shook her head: "Tang'er's name is not big enough, and their grandmother is holding them back on the grounds of attending to illness and keeping filial piety. What can you do? It's me, just say that Mei Niang is here to be a guest. I heard that Yu Yan The girl is very popular, let her embroider my forehead, and I will decide the pattern."
Qin Meiniang was overjoyed and agreed.
Mrs. Lin looked at Qin Meiniang again and said: "Although Prince Zhao is not very good, he is still a descendant of the clan. Now that you and your daughter are in destitution, if she really becomes the princess of the county and a well-established wife of the clan, are you really unwilling?" "
Qin Meiniang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Old madam, you don't have to test me. In the past, I also thought about my daughter marrying high, but it was just better than the Song family. After all, her father and I were both concubines, and we were not very noble. Later, we were not. I dare to think about it. Prince Zhao is a son of the clan. To be honest, he doesn’t want to find a successor with a certain family background? The Song family said it is a successor, and it will work out. If Prince Zhao regrets and only wants to take a concubine, what can anyone do? Him? I just want my son to find a son who knows both coldness and hotness. It is better for the young couple to discuss things carefully than to waste time in a wealthy courtyard and feel unhappy."
Mrs. Lin had some admiration in her eyes. She was quite sober at the critical moment and was not blinded by false wealth.
Without further ado, since the Song family is already making arrangements, it is best to get the two sisters out as soon as possible to avoid being really ruined.
Mrs. Lin sent her confidant, Granny, to pick up the Song family in person. Qin Meiniang wanted to follow, but she stopped her.
"Since you are a guest at my place, just wait, and the old nanny will naturally know what to say." Mrs. Lin said: "Tell me, the young master told her fortune, and said she will marry late?"
“Yes.” Qin Meiniang told her the fate that Qin Liuxi had said.
Mrs. Lin rested her head on the Kang table with one hand and said, "If Prince Zhao knew that this girl would marry her husband at an early age, he would probably be angry with the Song family."
Mrs. Lin smiled: "Mother, Prince Zhao goes to Changyin Tower every afternoon to walk the birds."
Prince Zhao likes birds, and Changyin Tower has the most precious bird species, so he must go there.
“Then ask someone to make arrangements. Make sure to let Prince Zhao know the danger. If this is overcome, the bird will not be able to escape.”
Mrs. Lin responded.
Qin Meiniang blinked, can she still play like this?
