Yang Haiyan naturally had no opinion on Qin Fang's uncles: "It's up to mother to decide. But... Third Uncle and Tadpole are here all year round, will Third Aunt miss them?"
Hearing her daughter-in-law ask this question, Qin's mother said confidently: "It would be great if she could come. In the past, when we were in our hometown, I was in the Qin family and she was in the Ding family. I couldn't control her, and it was not easy to control her. If she came to Yunxiang County, I would lock her up with my third brother and see who can still hinder me from disciplining my younger brothers and sisters."
Yang Haiyan heard Qin's mother say this and thought it was really possible. When she was in Baili Village, Qin's mother was a daughter-in-law, and she couldn't lock up her younger brothers and sisters, nor could she go back to her mother's house to manage them. But in Yunxiang County, she was the boss, she had people under her control, and she also had a place to imprison Uncle Qin San and his wife, so she was looking forward to their coming.
Uncle Qin stayed in the General's Mansion for two days and then left. There happened to be a convoy of cars leaving Yunxiang County, so he left in the convoy. He didn't meet Uncle Qin San, but he secretly saw Uncle Qin San and his son, and they were indeed much more honest and better here, and they knew how to work in the fields
. For Uncle Qin, this couldn't be better. One less lazy person in the family is equivalent to one less person to eat, which he couldn't ask for more. And he was relieved to imprison Uncle Qin San here. As for how to explain when he went back, he knew it in his mind.
Uncle Qin also took away a lot of bags, all prepared by Qin's mother's private room, and she also secretly gave Uncle Qin silver. Her parents were sick, and she was not around to take care of them. She was always worried, so she could only give more money, hoping that Uncle Qin could take good care of them.
After Uncle Qin left, the general's mansion returned to its former tranquility.
On this day, Yang Haiyan was making Qin Fang's underwear, and the wife of the county magistrate Yang came. Speaking of which, Yang Haiyan hadn't seen her for a long time. The last time she saw her was because of the county agent's business. When she heard that she was here, Yang Haiyan was very welcome. "Please come in quickly."
After a while, the wife of the county magistrate Yang was invited into the inner courtyard. Because they were all female relatives, they could be invited directly into the inner courtyard.
The wife of the county magistrate Yang Haiyan first bowed to her and said, "I have seen you, Madam." She was touched when she said this. When Yang Haiyan first came to Yunxiang County in April, she was only a concubine of the fifth rank, but in the blink of an eye, within half a year, she became a wife of the second rank. Everyone knows that the emperor specially rewarded her for the road construction. But this also indirectly shows the intelligence of this lady.
In the past, the wife of the county magistrate Yang thought that Yang Haiyan was born as a maid and was lucky to be able to reach the fifth rank. Although her temperament was not like that of a maid at all, now she really understands her strength.
Yang Haiyan hurriedly said, "Please stand up, Madam Yang. You don't need to be so polite in private."
Madam Yang County Magistrate smiled and said, "Courtesy cannot be neglected. In fact, I came to visit you today, in addition to giving you this period's agency fee, I also want to talk to you about something." The previous county agent fee was not paid in installments because the Yang County Magistrate's family did not have so much money. This time, Madam Yang County Magistrate came to the house to bring this period's fee. It must be said that this installment fee is very humane for their family. For this, their family is very grateful to Yang Haiyan.
"Oh?" Yang Haiyan was curious, "I wonder what else Madam Yang wants to say?"
Nanny Lian stepped forward, took the money returned by Madam Yang County Magistrate, and then stood aside quietly.
The wife of the county magistrate Yang said, "It's about the girl Qiuya from your family last time." She had been wanting to talk about it before, but then her family had something to do, and the Qin family also had something to do. Later, because of the matter of the Royal Grain Franchise Plan, she didn't want to disturb the Qin family at this time and cause them trouble, so she never said it. Now that the New Year is approaching, things are gradually becoming less, and seeing that she is here to pay the installment today, she brought up this matter.
Hearing this, Yang Haiyan was in high spirits. However, "Mrs. Yang, before you introduce him to me, I have to be honest with you about the situation between my third uncle and Qiuya. You may consider it. If the other party has no objection to this situation, then it is not too late to introduce him to me. Otherwise, I am afraid of embarrassment."
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she felt that what Yang Haiyan said made sense: "Madam, please go ahead."
Yang Haiyan said: "Because my third uncle and third aunt only have Qiuya as their child, so they originally wanted to find a son-in-law for Qiuya..." Here, she observed the other party's expression and saw that the other party was very surprised. She said, "But, if Qiuya and the man really like each other, and the man has good character, the son-in-law can be relaxed. It is not necessary to recruit a son-in-law. However, the first child they have must have the surname Qin, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, as long as it is the first child. This is the condition of my third uncle." You can't give up a good man just for recruiting a son-in-law. Some conditions can be relaxed.
After hearing this, the wife of Yang County Magistrate was embarrassed. They would definitely not agree to recruit a son-in-law, because the person she was going to introduce was her own son, and the eldest son. How could she let her eldest son be someone else's son-in-law? Not to mention the Qin family, no matter how good the conditions were, even if it was Princess Shang, she would not agree. Even if he was not the eldest son, even if he was the second son, she would not agree to him being a son-in-law.
But when Yang Haiyan said that the conditions were relaxed, it would be fine as long as the first child had the surname Qin. But she would not agree to it, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, even if a girl was not as important as a boy, the meaning of the eldest daughter was different.
Mrs. Yang thought for a while and asked, "Does it have to be the first child? Can't the second or third child be done?"
Yang Haiyan said, "No. It's very mysterious for a woman to get pregnant. What if there is no second or third child?" Mrs.
Yang sighed. This was unpleasant to hear, but it made sense. She said, "In this case, they can only be destined to be together. However, I think that in a situation like Miss Qiuya's, I'm afraid we have to choose from poor families." Because the conditions of poor families are slightly worse, some families are willing to be sons-in-law.
Yang Haiyan knew that there was no ill intention in her words, so she smiled and said, "That's right, it can only be said that fate has not arrived yet, and Qiuya is only thirteen years old this year, there is no rush, take your time, and you will always choose the right one."
Mrs. Yang County said, "Then I will tell you the good news here first." As she said that, she stood up, "Madam is pregnant now, she needs more rest, I won't disturb you."
Yang Haiyan said, "I'll ask Nanny Lian to see Madam Yang off for me."
Mrs. Yang County said, "Thank you."
Mrs. Yang County left the general's mansion and looked back. Although wealth is good, it can't be forced. Originally, I thought that letting her son go to Qin Qiuya might be good for his career, but the girl was not so easy to marry. Maybe, this is fate.
Although the girl's parents are incompetent, she has a capable cousin. It is not difficult for her to find a son-in-law in Yunxiang County.
However, their son is not suitable. The wife of
County Magistrate Yang returned home. When it was time for dinner, County Magistrate Yang came back from the government office. She told him what happened today: "It seems that our family and the Qin family have no fate, and this marriage will not work out."
County Magistrate Yang: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. Maybe in a few years, the emperor will let go of the Yang family's affairs. In a few years, General Qin will surely be successful. Then I will write to General Qin to ask about this matter. Maybe our son will be able to take the imperial examination. General Qin is a practical person. We should have a good relationship with him during the years he has been in Yunxiang County. It will be good in the future."
Mrs. Yang County Magistrate: "You are right."
Yang Haiyan often heard people talk about morning sickness before, but she has never had morning sickness since she became pregnant. Out of curiosity, she asked Dr. Li and the experienced Grandma Qin, and they all said that it was hard to say. But according to Grandma Qin, the baby in her belly was well-behaved and didn't want her mother to suffer.
The winter in Yunxiang County is different from the winter in the border. The winter in the border is dry, while the winter in Yunxiang County is cold, the kind of bone-chilling cold that can chill you to the bone.
But the general's mansion is not afraid because there is a kang.
With a kang, Yang Haiyan doesn't want to get up. Although the kang can't be compared with an air conditioner, it is warmer than ordinary quilts, like an electric blanket.
"Madam, someone has come to deliver a New Year gift today. Guess who it is." Nanny Lian came into the room and quickly lowered the curtain to prevent the cold wind from coming in and catching a cold.
Yang Haiyan said, "The Du family's New Year's gift has been delivered. The only ones who can send New Year's gifts to the mansion now are my second uncle or the Ding family. Which family is it?"
Yang Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be those ordinary people who sent cucumbers before?"
Nanny Lian smiled and shook her head, "Not yet, guess again."
Yang Haiyan surrendered, "Nanny, please forgive me. Tell me quickly where it was sent from, I have to prepare a return gift."
Nanny Lian said, "It was sent from the border."
Yang Haiyan was stunned, then she said happily, "Could it be from Captain Han? Was it sent by Sister Dahua?" Speaking of which, she has been traveling through time for two years, and she really doesn't have two close friends. When she was at the border before, she had a good relationship with Yang Dahua and Lu Saozi, but with the change of Qin Fang and Lieutenant Lu's official positions, Lu Saozi became more respectful to her and less intimate with her than before at the border. She knew the reason, this was the respect and inferiority engraved in the bones of the ancient people. So, now the only person she could consider a friend was Yang Dahua.
Nanny Lian said, "You really guessed it right. It was a New Year gift from Han Qianfu's mansion. People are waiting outside, and there is also a letter from Mrs. Han to you." As she said that, Nanny Lian gave the letter to Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan opened the letter and read it. To be honest, the handwriting in the letter was not very good, but: "This letter was written by Sister Dahua. She said that the Han family hired a teacher and she also learned to read, but her handwriting is not good. She was afraid that I would laugh at her."
Nanny Lian said: "Mrs. Han is an ambitious and hardworking person."
Yang Haiyan said: "That's right. Ah, she also said that the royal grain franchisee in Renzhou is the Yonghe Marquis Mansion, but the Han family has become the county agent..."
