Chapter 65: Choosing a Wife (5)
Princess Ying gossips in a normal way, "From the mother's point of view, as long as you nod and like the one you marry, mother will treat her like her own daughter. These five families are all the same as my family. The family is also a family that has been rich for a hundred years. The family education is very strict, and the daughters they raise are not bad. It is much better than the one in Zuo Xiangfu. Although Yan Lan is a little worse, she is still a child who knows how to measure."

Qin Zheng didn't speak.

Princess Ying's voice was also dignified, "If you ask to marry the first four people, it's not a big problem, but this young lady from Zhongyonghou's mansion, I'm afraid it's the most embarrassing thing if you think about it carefully."

"Why is it difficult?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Princess Ying hesitated for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief, "The lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion suffered from a serious illness since she was seven years old, and she has been lingering on the bed since she was seven years old. The palace banquet was also shunned by Zhongyonghou. It is said that even the people in Zhongyonghou's mansion have not seen her a few times. She is so weak, I am really worried, she is not a good candidate for a daughter-in-law."

Qin Zheng scoffed, disapproving.

Princess Ying looked at him and smiled, "Mother and her mother were handkerchiefs in the past. Even though her mother's life was miserable and she left early, mother did not forget her friendship and always missed her. We used to have It was a verbal marriage contract, but it was never put in writing, and no tokens were exchanged, so it has long been counted."

Qin Zheng raised his eyelids, but said nothing.

"If she is so ill that she can't even leave the house, no matter how much my mother likes her, she won't be able to marry her for you. After all, you will inherit the family of Prince Ying's Mansion in the future, and your daughter-in-law will help you support the mansion. It can't be a flower grown in a greenhouse, it can't withstand wind and rain." Princess Ying said.

Xie Fanghua took a sip of ginger jujube water, and was slightly relieved upon hearing this.

"Her illness is the first, and the second is the family of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, which has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart. The foundation of the Xie family is too great. The family of the famous families with several major surnames in the Southern Qin Dynasty is added up, including my family background. The Cui family of Qinghe is probably not as good as the Xie family. If it is allowed to continue to develop, there is no guarantee that one day the Southern Qin Dynasty will change its dynasty and generation, and the surname will be Xie." Princess Ying's voice was slightly lower.

"Mother, can you say that? Fortunately, it's windy and snowy outside." Qin Zheng tapped on the table, making a slight sound.

Xie Fanghua lowered her eyes, and finally found the root cause of the extermination of the Zhongyonghou Mansion in her previous life.The original reason is here.All these years, she still couldn't figure out how the Zhongyonghou Mansion was so loyal to the royal family, how could it be possible to cooperate with the aunt who was married off by Bei Qi to collude with the enemy and betray the country?The emperor was furious, and killed the whole family, and how many people from the nine clans were dragged to the mass grave...

For a long time, she only thought that the birds were exhausted, the good bow was hidden, and the Zhongyonghou's mansion was too prosperous, which was tabooed by the emperor.

But it turned out that the Xie clan had too many roots and too many clan members, and that was the real taboo that threatened the royal family.

Does Grandpa know it in his heart?

Something that even a woman, Princess Ying, knows?I'm afraid he knows better!

After all these years, how difficult is it for grandpa to lead the Zhongyonghou Mansion, which is the most prosperous Xie clan?And what about Xie's other houses and clansmen?They only envy the noble family of Zhongyonghou's mansion, and they probably won't think about the same spirit and the same surname as Xie?He only knows how to fight for the title, worships the high and tramples the low, and is ignorant of government affairs and potential dangers.

Suddenly, a sense of sadness rose in her heart. This is the sadness that the Xie family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years or even originated for thousands of years, has developed to this day.

Everyone wants to be the early bird, but they don't know that the early bird is the first one to be beaten.

"Even if I don't say it, a person with a heart is like a mirror." Princess Ying smiled, "The Zhongyonghou's mansion has been loyal for generations. When Zhongyonghou was young, he guarded the frontier and protected the frontier, which delayed his son's life. His only son and daughter-in-law died early in an accident. , the only daughter married to the Northern Qi Dynasty for the eldest princess, if I tell you, the Zhongyonghou Mansion will naturally not rebel. But the emperor who sits high on the dragon court doesn't think so, how can others snore on the side of the couch? This is It has been a taboo for monarchs since ancient times. The Xie family and the Zhongyonghou's mansion have violated this taboo."

Qin Zheng remained silent, shaking the cup with his slender hands, and the water in the cup swayed regularly.

"The Zhongyonghou's mansion has been in the court for generations to survive. The other relatives of the Xie mansion have their own ideas. Those who can become officials will enter the official career and seek official positions. Those who cannot become official will do business, and those who cannot do business will buy. In the farmland, there are people surnamed Xie who are doing any profitable work in the world." Prince Ying said with admiration, "How can such a Xie family not be tabooed by the emperor?"

Xie Fanghua held the teacup and listened quietly. She knew how big the Xie family was and how many clan members she had in her last life when she was implicated by Mie Clan.At that time, there was a saying, "Nanqin gave thanks, and half of the country collapsed."

This Xie is not only talking about people, and it is not only about the talents of the court. It turns out that there are scholars, farmers, businessmen and economics behind the Xie family.

She hasn't calculated how much economic connections and financial resources all Xie clan members have together, but it is probably much more than the national treasury.

Thinking about it this way, after she has experienced a lifetime, she has lived a new life, if it hadn’t been pointed out by Princess Ying today, her idea of ​​protecting Zhongyonghou’s mansion is still a bit simple, and she didn’t see clearly the big background behind Zhongyonghou’s mansion.

Xie Fanghua tightly held the cup wall, pursed her lips, and covered the cold look in her eyes.

No matter how difficult it is, she still wants to keep the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and keep her house and relatives safe.

Otherwise, I will live in vain.

"The Qinghe Cui clan is no worse than the Xie clan." Qin Zheng said suddenly.

"The Qinghe Cui family upholds the legacy of the literati, and claims to be a clean family. Money and official career are the things of money and power, and they don't bother to do it. They vow to stand out from the mundane mundane world and stand out from the mundane world. The wind." The British princess talked about her family, and said lightly, "Actually, in this world, who is there, and which family really has a clean backbone? Not contaminated with copper stink? Money is essential for people to live. The Cui family of Qinghe If you really want to be so innocent, where did you get all the plum blossoms in the yard?"

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"In the beginning, there was this discipline, but it was just to decorate the appearance, and it was also to reduce the taboo of the emperor. Over time, it was passed down from generation to generation, and the children of the clan really had a noble character. The road, or the meridian and wealth, are gradually shrinking, which one would not like to see the emperor?" The British princess patiently analyzed, "So, this is the reason why the Cui family of Qinghe can still stand for another hundred years. And the Xie family is in jeopardy. .”

Qin Zheng was silent.

Xie Fanghua had to admit that what Princess Ying said was true.She is worthy of being the daughter of the Cui family who was born in Qinghe. Not only does she have a thorough understanding of the situation in the Southern Qin Dynasty, she has a good grasp of people's hearts, and she also has a deep understanding of her family.Only then did Qin Zheng give birth to a son like Qin Zheng who seemed unscrupulous, cynical, unconstrained, arrogant, incompetent, yet unfathomable.
