Wei Laner nodded thoughtfully: "My daughter has been thinking about it for a few days and feels that Qin Zeng's identity is a bit suspicious. No matter how capable he is, how could the emperor trust him so much without a special connection?"
"You mean, not only is he not a eunuch, but he also has an unknown life experience?"
Wei Lan'er nodded, "Concubine Mu tried every possible means to marry the daughter of the Mu family to him, maybe because she knew his identity. I have a hunch that now that Concubine Mu knows who Qin Zeng is, the matter will soon be hidden. Well, as my grandmother said, opportunities are fleeting. When everyone knows about Qin Zeng, I don’t know how many rich ladies in the capital will be interested..."
Mrs. Guo frowned, "But all this is just speculation. If you are wrong, won't you ruin your life? Besides, who knows what Concubine Mu is thinking. It's hard to say why she married the daughter of the Mu family to Qin Zeng. What's the plot? We don't even know their true purpose, so we just make wild guesses. It's really inappropriate. I think your grandmother just wanted to trick you into marrying Qin Zeng, so she said these things to mislead you."
"Mother doesn't think highly of Qin Zeng?"
Most of the injuries on Guo's face had healed, but the injury on her back was serious. At this time, she could barely get up and move. She sat up and said, "It's not that I don't think highly of Qin Zeng, but I'm worried that things will go wrong. With you With my background, it is not difficult to marry into a good family, so there is really no need to take such a risk."
Wei Laner lowered his eyes and bit his lip, "But who can compare to Qin Zeng?"
Mr. Guo paused when he heard the words and sighed slightly.
She also came here when she was young. How could she not know what a girl of this age is thinking?
Marrying the best man in the world is the wish of every woman.
If Qin Zeng was not a eunuch, he must be the "best" in the eyes of women, right?
Just as she was about to persuade her again, Lian Yu came in and said, "Madam, the old lady has received the news from the eldest master from Xishan."
Mrs. Guo has been married into the Wei family for many years, so she naturally has her own news channel in Shangfang. She will not know what happened in the old lady's yard immediately, nor will she be slower than others.
She quickly asked: "What happened?"
"It is said that Mr. Qin requested the emperor to grant a marriage..."
"Granting a marriage?" Wei Laner's heart skipped a beat, "Granting a marriage to whom?"
Lian Yu glanced at her, "Master Qin wants to marry Miss Li, and the Li family has already agreed."
"What! Li Qingyi??!"
Wei Laner's face was twisted in shock.
Lian Yu didn't know why Wei Lan'er had such a big reaction, so he carefully explained: "Miss Li is the daughter of the princess after all, so the eldest master sent a letter to inform him about this."
"My mother also said that my grandmother was tricking me! It's too late now!" Wei Laner regretted it and was extremely angry. If she hadn't hesitated for a few days, or in other words, even if she didn't hesitate, she wouldn't have done anything like Li Qingyi. Faster! Read the book
Mrs. Guo waved Lian Yu down and said, "Lan'er, you don't have to worry about this. The girl from the Li family has a close relationship with Qin Zeng. She may have known Qin Zeng's details a long time ago. This step may have been done long ago. In the planning of the two of them, just pretend that your grandmother has not told you about this matter."
"impossible!"
Wei Laner collapsed and shouted, "Back then, you all persuaded me to pretend that the Wang family's marriage never happened! Now you persuade me to pretend that it never happened! Do you mean that every time I talk about a marriage, someone will interfere! In the end, pretending that it never happened? How can I allow others to trample on my face like this! And Song Yang! It was also Li Qingyi who was in the way!"
"Lan'er!"
Mrs. Guo felt distressed and depressed.
It was indeed the Guo family's poor thinking about the Wang family's marriage that made their daughter suffer. Let’s not talk about the Yongping Marquis Mansion. The old lady’s proposal to marry Qin Zeng this time was something that the old lady suddenly made without any clue.
"Mother, I don't accept it! Why! Why do I always get teased like this!"
"My dear daughter, don't be angry. Mother will definitely find a better marriage for you!"
Wei Laner cried so hard that he almost lost his breath, "How can I find a better marriage when my legs are like this!
Missing Qin Zeng, I will never find a better man in my life! "
Mrs. Guo pursed her lips and looked at her daughter's legs. The pain was in her body but in her mother's heart. She felt heartbroken and said, "Lan'er, if you really want to marry Qin Zeng? Let's find a way..."
"What else can I do? The emperor granted me the marriage, unless Li Qingyi dies! Otherwise, no one can change this marriage!"
"If that's the case, then she doesn't want to live anymore!"
Weilander cried for a while, "Mother?"
Guo said harshly: "If Li Qingyi hadn't reported it, Princess Rongling wouldn't have noticed what you did, and what Zhao did. Li Qingyi knew it clearly, but didn't stop it, causing your leg to suffer so badly. Injury! Zhao deserves to die, and so does she!"
Wei Laner clenched his fists when he heard this, "Mother, are you really willing to help me kill that ***?"
Guo's eyebrows were sharp, "Lan'er, mother will not let you suffer in vain."
*****
Qin Zeng prepared a betrothal gift for Li Qingyi worth one hundred and twenty-eight dollars. On the four floors above and below, things are placed so densely that there is no free space. If an ordinary person marries a wife, if they evenly distribute the things, there is a high chance that they can get a dowry gift from them.
It's just like this when a princess gets married.
However, the most powerful eunuch in the dynasty wanted to marry the niece of the new favorite of the dynasty, and the emperor granted the marriage. Such a gesture did not seem to be excessive.
When Concubine Mu said that she would marry the daughter of the Mu family to Qin Zeng, everyone had already discussed what should be discussed openly and secretly.
In the eyes of the common people, Li Yong is the prince's young master, and Concubine Mu is the emperor's favorite concubine. They are both figures at the center of power, and their thoughts are probably not much different.
Now, all kinds of speculations have been moved from the Mu family to the Li family, and it has not caused much trouble.
As Qin Zeng said, this is an excellent opportunity, and the damage caused by rumors and public opinion has been minimized.
Li Qingyi would not despise and humiliate her because she was married to a eunuch, but he would also sympathize with her because she became a victim of politics.
Of course, Li Qingyi's heart is strong enough now and she doesn't need others to sympathize with her.
But if you can feel more comfortable, who would look for trouble?
After returning from Xishan Paddock, Li Qingyi first followed Ruan back to the Li family.
Because it is a marriage granted by the emperor, the three steps of accepting the gift, asking for the name, and accepting the acknowledgment among the six rites are omitted, and it is directly to the step of accepting the levy, that is, the betrothal.
Li Qingyi looked at the red cages in a yard and was a little surprised.
In fact, she felt that Qin Zeng was a eunuch after all, and it was a bit strange for a eunuch to marry a wife and pay attention to the three books and six etiquette to marry a matchmaker. But Qin Zeng arranged everything properly, the emperor did not notice anything wrong, and others automatically ignored the matter.
Li Qingyi took a closer look and saw that the betrothal gift actually included the tiger that almost scratched her into a cripple.
What's the meaning?
A tiger in love?
To be honest, she didn't really want it.
If I sleep with this tiger skin on my pillow every day, won’t I have nightmares?
Every night I dream that I almost died, which doesn’t seem very good...
