When Aunt Qin heard this, she knew that Uncle Qin didn't understand what she meant, so she explained: "Our Qin family is getting better and better because of Afang and his wife. Erya's husband Afang will definitely be promoted. Even if it's an ordinary job, Afang will definitely take care of him, don't you think?"
Uncle Qin frowned: "What do you want to say?" They have said this many times. Afang cares about feelings, so he will definitely take care of her. Why are you still talking about this now?
Aunt Qin said, "So I was thinking, instead of recruiting a stranger as a son-in-law for Er Ya, it would be better to recruit my nephew from my mother's side as a son-in-law, so that A Fang can promote his own people. Isn't that what Aunt Qin said today?"
Uncle Qin thought, "That's possible. Why didn't I think of it before? But, is your nephew from your mother's side willing to marry?"
Aunt Qin said, "Even if he doesn't want to, we can still agree that the first child will have our surname, just like A Fang's wife said before. Do you think it's okay?" Uncle
Qin thought about it carefully. The people in his mother-in-law's family are not bad, and they are not the kind of people who are difficult to deal with, so it is indeed okay to find a son-in-law from there. However, "I have no objection to this, but after San Ya gets married, she has to live with us." He only has a daughter-in-law, so he hopes that after the daughter-in-law gets married, she and her son-in-law can live with them.
Auntie Qin: "Then I'll talk to my family."
Uncle Qin: "I'll discuss it with my father and mother tomorrow."
Auntie Qin: "Oh."
The next day
There were guests yesterday, so everyone in the family slept a little late, and Yang Haiyan got up late today. The masters of each courtyard in the general's mansion are responsible for their own meals, so even if they get up late, it doesn't affect their meals.
After Yang Haiyan got up and was about to eat, the little bun made a soul cry, he was hungry. So, feed him first, and then go to eat. In this way, she ate late. While
she was eating, Qin's mother came with Qin Daya.
Among the three meals of the next day, Yang Haiyan was more particular about breakfast, taking into account both protein and carbohydrates. At this moment, there were poached eggs, small buns, and cucumbers on the table.
Seeing Qin's mother and Qin Daya coming in, Yang Haiyan said, "Mother, big sister, do you want to eat something?"
Qin's mother and Qin Daya's breakfast was naturally rich, so they ate a lot. Hearing Yang Haiyan's invitation, Qin's mother said, "No, no, we are just full."
Qin Daya: "I don't want it either, sister-in-law, you take your time." As she said that, she went to the cradle to look at the small buns.
Mother Qin sat down next to Yang Haiyan: "When we were having breakfast today, your uncle and aunt came to discuss something, which was about San Ya's son-in-law."
As soon as she said this, Nanny Lian went outside. Even if no one would come here, she had to guard the door.
Yang Haiyan's eyes lit up when she heard what Mother Qin said. It's not her fault that she was gossiping. In fact, in ancient times, there was nothing interesting except gossip. So, she likes to listen to gossip now. But there was no gossip to listen to before. This time, when the second branch of the Qin family came, there was a lot of gossip, no shame for the second branch of the Qin family.
Yang Haiyan: "Has San Ya's son-in-law gone wrong again?"
Mother Qin said: "No, it's your third aunt who told your grandmother that she wanted to find a son-in-law from her nephew on her mother's side. I think it's probably because your second aunt found her nephew on her mother's side as a son-in-law, so your third aunt had this idea. But it's also true that our Qin family is doing well, so it makes sense for them to find a nephew on her mother's side to marry into the family. This is called keeping the wealth within the family."
Yang Haiyan heard this and said: "Then mother didn't agree to the fourth sister and Tadpole's marriage at the beginning."
Mother Qin said: "To be frank, it's Tadpole's fault. As long as he has a promising future, I will not refuse. No matter how close the parents are, can they be closer than my daughter? But if the parents are reliable, then marriage is also good for the daughter. "
Yang Haiyan did not refute after hearing this. This is how people in ancient times lived. However, she said: "I don't approve of marriage between relatives. In the future, I will not agree to our little Baozi, including his children, to marry relatives, unless they are within the fifth mourning period." However, the Qin family does not have the fifth mourning period, but she was afraid that Qin's mother or Qin Daya would have this year, so she took preventive measures in advance.
Qin's mother did not think of this. Hearing Yang Haiyan's firm tone, she asked in confusion: "Why?"
Qin Daya was curious while looking at the child.
Yang Haiyan said: "When I was in the capital, I saw a family like this. It was also a marriage between cousins. As a result, the girl got pregnant three times, but she lost the baby twice and the third time the baby was a fool. The family was well off, so they invited a miracle doctor to treat the foolish child. The doctor said that the disease could not be cured. Do you know why, mother?"
A disease that cannot be cured? Qin's mother thought for a moment and said, "Is this a disease she brought from her mother's womb?"
Yang Haiyan said, "No, this is inherited from my parents. The miracle doctor said that when cousins, cousins, and people who are blood-related within the fifth degree of mourning get married, either the baby will not survive during pregnancy, or the baby will be a fool. Even if the baby is not a fool, the brain is not very smart. Because when a man and a woman who are blood-related get married, the blood passed on to the child will conflict. So, if a family can give birth to a healthy child, it is definitely good luck." In terms of modern medicine, Qin's mother would definitely not understand about genes, so Yang Haiyan used this simple and easy-to-understand way.
Qin's mother was shocked when she heard it, but fortunately she did not agree to the marriage between Si Ya and Tadpole. Mother Qin would not doubt Yang Haiyan's words. She knew that her daughter-in-law was well-informed. It can be said that in the Qin family, Yang Haiyan's words were more effective than anyone else's, and sometimes even more effective than Qin Fang's. Because in the minds of the elders of the Qin family, Yang Haiyan came from the capital and had more experience than them and Qin Fang.
Moreover, Yang Haiyan had a good personality and was the most virtuous daughter-in-law (grandson's wife) in their hearts, so they trusted Yang Haiyan very much.
Mother Qin: "Then should we persuade the second and third wives?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Let's not do that. First of all, Erya's marriage has been decided. If Second Aunt doesn't listen and thinks we don't approve of the marriage, then we will be enemies. Secondly, the doctor also said that it is only a matter of probability, not every child born from blood marriage will have problems. So what if Erya's child is good? Then we will have a hard time to explain in the future.
Besides, there are many blood relatives marrying each other, and many of the children born are healthy, so Second Aunt and Third Aunt will not believe it.
I don't care about other people, as long as I can take good care of my own children."
Mother Qin agreed. She didn't like to interfere in the affairs of the second and third wives. As long as the first wife was fine, she would wake up. Speaking of the first wife's affairs, Qin's mother had an idea: "Yanyan, what do you think of Miss Li?"
Yang Haiyan's heart skipped a beat: "What does mother mean?"
Mother Qin smiled and said, "I think Shouye is already seventeen years old. He has learned a lot from you and Afang. He has been living in the barracks recently. He is surrounded by men and no girls, so I want to find him a wife. I don't have any girls I know, but Miss Li is good. Doctor Li works for Afang and checks on us every month. We are familiar with Miss Li, and she has learned a lot. I think this girl is good. What do you think of her and Shouye?" What do you think?
How
can Yang Haiyan say this? From her point of view, she naturally doesn't want anything that will damage Qin Fang's reputation to exist, nor does she like anything that will trouble Qin Fang in the future. But as for love, if Qin Shouye and Miss Li are in love, she can't stop it, right? But the problem is... they can't tell Qin's mother and others about Miss Li's affairs. After all, this is a private matter. And Miss Li has been hurt enough by what happened. If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be like asking for her life?
But it's not okay to directly refuse Qin's mother.
Yang Haiyan thought for a while and said, "How about mother, I'll ask Doctor Li first. I heard that Miss Li seemed to have a fiancé before, but I don't know the details." She first gave Qin's mother a hint, so she didn't put too much hope. At the same time, she also hoped that she would be more cautious, so she used the fact that Miss Li had a fiancé to ease her thoughts.
Qin's mother said, "It's okay to have a fiancé in the past, as long as it's clean and innocent. We are not unreasonable people. Then you can ask Doctor Li to see what he thinks. If he has no objection, I will ask Shouye. If both sides have no problem, I will formally propose it to Doctor Li."
Mainly because the second and third wives have proposed marriages one after another, Qin's mother thought of Qin Shouye, so she was a little anxious. Besides, Qin Shouye is seventeen years old this year, and it's time to propose marriage. She didn't mention it last year because they just came out of Baili Village last year, and she thought her son didn't have any great skills, so it's not easy to find a good girl. This year, her son has learned a lot from his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he has some skills, so he can find a good girl. As a mother, there are many factors to consider for the sake of her children.
Yang Haiyan said, "Okay, I will discuss this with Doctor Li."
After hearing Yang Haiyan's words, Qin's mother was relieved. However, she had another thing to worry about: "Yanyan, you see our imperial grain factory, this year must be busier than last year. This year, more people are planting potatoes and sweet potatoes than last year. Do we need to recruit more workers?" Potatoes and sweet potatoes have higher yields than other crops. In the past, not many were planted because they could not be sold. Since the imperial grain plan was launched last year, there is no worry about not being able to sell them. Therefore, all the people have planted them, and some have even reclaimed wasteland to plant them.
Yang Haiyan said, "That's right. We can see what happens. Speaking of which, my father and mother worked really hard last year."
Mother Qin said, "It's not hard, it's much easier than working in the fields." She would be happy if she had something to do. If she couldn't stop, she wouldn't be used to it. However, "Yanyan, if you want to hire someone, what do you think of Daya and her husband?"
