Yang Haiyan thought, this is not a big problem. Using in-laws to pull people together may not be very useful in modern times, because families are not very important in modern times, and those who are rich for one or two generations are not considered to be families. Even modern wealthy families cannot be compared with ancient families. Ancient families and noble families are all one-hundred-year-old families, at least five generations.
Moreover, in ancient times, in-laws were important, and perhaps in their eyes, marriage was the most reliable.
However, Uncle Qin's family wanted to follow Qin Fang forever, so it was not impossible to marry Qin Qiuya to Qin Fang's subordinates. In this way, Qin Qiuya might have an easier life.
But: "Mother, your husband's subordinates may not be willing to marry in. Besides, I don't agree with letting your husband's subordinates marry in."
Mother Qin said: "Yan Yan, what do you mean?"
Grandma Qin was also puzzled: "Yan Yan, although San Ya is only A Fang's cousin, but being A Fang's cousin's husband is definitely better than a subordinate, right? Why don't you want to marry in?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Grandma, mother, first of all, any man with a bit of blood doesn't like to marry in, because once you marry in, it means you are inferior. After the two get married, many things have to be decided by the woman. Don't you think so?"
Grandma Qin and Mother Qin looked at each other and shouted. Even if they didn't admit it, it was true. In ordinary families, sons-in-law who marry in are indeed inferior. What's more, San Ya has a cousin who is a general.
Yang Haiyan continued, "Secondly, if there is someone around my husband, I will introduce that person to San Ya, then that person must be good in all aspects, and such a person will naturally be valued by my husband. Following my husband, there may be better development in the future. Why should I marry into a marriage?" Not to mention the ancient times, even Yang Haiyan herself doesn't like people who marry into a marriage.
Of course, if she has a daughter in the future, maybe she will agree with the other party marrying into a marriage, so that they can protect their daughter. However, if she has a son, she will not agree to let her son marry into a marriage. The human heart is so complicated and contradictory.
However, it cannot be denied that a man with a little ability will not agree to marry into a marriage, unless in special circumstances.
Grandma Qin and Mother Qin thought about what Yang Haiyan said and felt that it made sense.
Grandma Qin: "Then San Ya is going to find a son-in-law, and your uncle is very persistent about this matter."
Yang Haiyan knew that what really made Uncle Qin obsessed was the continuation of his family line, not whether to find a son-in-law or not.
Yang Haiyan said: "Let me introduce San Ya to you, and I will also explain San Ya's situation to the other party clearly. If there is a really suitable candidate, maybe Uncle can take a step back. After San Ya and the other party get married, the other party can not take the marriage, but the first child after their marriage, regardless of gender, will take San Ya's surname. Grandma, what do you think?"
Grandma Qin thought: "This can be asked to your uncle. If he agrees, I have no objection. It's his business anyway. He is this age, and he can make his own decisions on his own family affairs."
Yang Haiyan said: "Okay, I have an idea."
After leaving Liuxinyuan, Yang Haiyan recalled San Ya's matter. To put it bluntly, San Ya's status is neither high nor low. It can't be said to be high, after all, Qin Fang has two legitimate sisters. In the eyes of ordinary people, if he wants to cultivate a brother-in-law, it is natural that the legitimate brother-in-law should come first. But if it is said to be low, it is not true. San Ya is Qin Fang's cousin. Apart from being sisters from the same mother, this is also a close relationship. Therefore, choosing a husband for San Ya is really a bit difficult.
And there is another problem. The people around Qin Fang all came out of the military camp. They are probably in their early twenties, because those who came out of the military camp need to serve in the military for five years. Even if they lied about their age and reported that they were fourteen to serve in the military, they would be nineteen years old in five years. San Ya is only thirteen years old this year. In Yang Haiyan's view, six or seven years old is nothing, but there is still something between thirteen and nineteen.
A thirteen-year-old girl is not a big girl yet. But a nineteen-year-old boy can indeed start a family. Psychologically and physiologically, there are differences between the two. It depends on whether the man is willing to wait.
But this is just her idea. Maybe other people's ideas are different from hers?
Speaking of candidates, Yang Haiyan did think of one person, Tao Shan. Among the five private guards brought from the border, Meng Ping, Huang Huzi, Kunshi, and Chen Dashi are all married, except Taoshan. Taoshan has recently been working for Qin Fang. Every time she goes to the capital, it is Taoshan who runs the trip. She thinks this young man is very hardworking and smart. If he can get married with Sanya, it will be a good thing. I just don't know what the situation is like with Taoshan, and whether his family has arranged a marriage for him.
Shoushan Taoist Temple
Qin Fang led Du Ke and others to climb the mountain for more than an hour, and finally arrived at Shoushan Taoist Temple. Not to mention Du Ke, a middle-aged man, even Shen Lixian, a young man, felt tired.
"Why is this Taoist temple built in such a high place? Is it propped up after eating?" Shen Lixian couldn't help but say, he took a deep breath for a while and drank a few sips of water.
Qin Fang: "You should ask the former King Liang."
Shen Lixian laughed out loud: "I didn't expect General Qin to be able to joke."
Qin Fang was indeed just joking. The Taoist temple was built here because the ore is nearby.
Wei Ting heard the sound outside and came out. He didn't expect that in addition to Qin Fang and Du Ke, he also saw an old acquaintance. "Lord Du, Shen Lixian, you are here too?" Wei Ting and Shen Lixian are both famous young talents in the capital, and they are also people in the same circle, so the two are very familiar with each other and have a good relationship.
Shen Lixian said: "I came all the way to see you."
Wei Ting knew that this was impossible. This guy must have official business.
Du Ke asked, "How's the gunpowder issue going?"
Speaking of business, Wei Ting was a little proud: "We are already halfway successful, thanks to the sufficient minerals here, which allows our people to research with confidence. In about another month, the gunpowder will be ready."
Du Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is great news. For the emperor, this is the most confidential and powerful weapon." By then, internal and external troubles will be solved at once. "Qin Fang, take me to see the ore. Lixian, you chat with Wei Ting, don't worry about me."
Wei Ting and Shen Lixian: "Yes."
After Qin Fang and Du Ke left, Wei Ting said, "Seriously, why are you here? Shouldn't you be enjoying yourself in the capital?"
Shen Lixian snorted, "How can you be enjoying yourself in the capital? Aren't there people taking care of you at home?"
Wei Ting said, "Come on, your uncle and aunt don't care about you. Your sister-in-law is a role model in our capital. Everyone wants a daughter-in-law like her, not like the one in my family who controls this and that. When they just got married, she was gentle and comfortable. How come she became like a tiger after just a few years?"
Wei Ting is mature and stable on weekdays. He probably only teases like this in front of his very close friends.
Shen Lixian rolled his eyes at him and took out a letter: "I came to Yunxiang County for an important matter. This time, I am the deputy of Lord Du. And this is the letter that my uncle asked me to bring."
Wei Ting was stunned: "A letter from my father?"
Shen Lixian nodded: "I came here this time about the matter of potato flour and sweet potato flour..." Shen Lixian explained the matter, "If this matter is successfully joined, the Ministry of Revenue will not have to worry about money in a short time."
Wei Ting didn't know about potato flour and sweet potato flour when he was in Yunxiang County. He was really shocked to hear Shen Lixian say this. He immediately said seriously: "If there is one franchisee per prefecture, then the prefecture is so big and there is only one franchisee. This business is too easy to do, right? With the franchise plan proposed by the emperor, who else dares to make trouble?"
Shen Lixian said: "The person in charge this time is Lord Du. Lord Du is notoriously difficult to deal with. Some noble families want to rely on their status, but I am afraid they will not be able to get a good result in front of Lord Du. However, there is only one franchisee per prefecture, but there are many counties under the prefecture. The franchisee cannot manage every county. By then, someone will use the franchisee's connections..."
Wei Ting would of course think of what Shen Lixian could think of. What surprised Wei Ting even more was that Qin Fang actually had such a great ability. Or rather, Qin Fang's wife actually had such an idea. He and Qin Fang were familiar with each other, and he knew that this kind of thing was not something Qin Fang came up with. He usually didn't care about the affairs of the General's Mansion, so the matter about potato flour and sweet potato flour must be related to Yang Haiyan.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Wei Ting knew that his father's letter must be related to this matter.
Shen Lixian said, "You read the letter, I'll go for a walk, you send someone to take me to see the ore."
Wei Ting: "Okay." He sent someone around to take Shen Lixian to see the ore. Looking back, he found a place to sit down and began to open the letter. As he expected, his father's letter was indeed related to what he was thinking, but it was not about potato flour and sweet potato flour, but about Yang Haiyan. His father mentioned the joke that Wei Wu made when he was at the border, asking him to recognize Yang Haiyan as his sister.
If Yang Haiyan in the past was just the wife of a captain, a woman who was a maid before, she was not worthy of being called Wei Wu's sister. Then today's Yang Haiyan is a lady of the country conferred by the emperor, with all these merits. Her husband Qin Fang is Du Ke's disciple, and the only disciple. Her identity is enough to be Wei Ting's sister and the adopted daughter of the Wei family.
Wei Ting had thought about this matter at the beginning, but he just thought about it and did not take any action. Now that his father has sent a letter, he knows what to do.
Wei Ting smiled, put the letter away, and then took it to the flame to burn.
It is indeed strange that the emperor asked Du Ke to accept Qin Fang as his disciple. Even if Qin Fang is a lucky person, and the emperor values luck, why did he let Du Ke accept Qin Fang as his disciple? Is this to find a backstage for Qin Fang? Or is it to create an enemy relationship with Qin Fang?
Wei Ting couldn't figure it out. But he knew that the emperor would not do this for no reason, and the reason behind it would eventually emerge one day.
