Chapter 1003 You won’t be able to reach me tomorrow.
Qiu Ziyang never expected his family to be like this.
Then he asked sarcastically, "What kind of family do you think would be more suitable for me to marry?"
Qiu's mother heard it.
I felt like my son was enlightened.
"You are a seventh-rank official, so marrying a daughter of a fourth- or fifth-rank official shouldn't be a problem!"
"Mother, you really think too highly of me. A legitimate daughter of a fourth or fifth rank family? Not to mention a legitimate daughter, even a second legitimate daughter would look down on me. In your eyes, I am very good. But in the capital, I am just an insignificant existence."
"How much dowry can our family afford to give to marry someone's legitimate daughter?"
Mother Qiu was embarrassed: "How can you only focus on the betrothal gift! Think about it, if I marry you, I will be an official wife, and you have a promising future, so your future is bright."
"Oh! You can focus on family background, so why can't others focus on betrothal gifts? A bright future? It used to be, but now it's gone."
He is an adult now, and he knows what kind of wife is best for him to marry so that his life can get better and better.
Qiu's mother didn't understand why they broke up, just because she was a country girl.
What's the loss of this.
"What's wrong with being fourth or fifth rank? I'm not marrying above my station. I'm only doing this for your own good. I hope your future will be smoother." Mother Qiu didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea.
Qiu Ziyang shook his head: "Fourth or fifth rank? Mother's vision is only at the fourth or fifth rank, then do you know who you drove away?"
"Who could she be? She's just a country girl. With my son's talent, anyone I can find would be better than her."
"Do you know who Song Shennong is, who changed the cultivation of Dajin?"
The Qiu family heard this.
Song Shennong certainly knew about it, because he was a god who changed the agricultural output of Dajin!
His planting methods increased agricultural production several times, saving the Jin Dynasty from a state of hunger.
How many people have starved to death in Dajin over the years!
Everyone knows Song Shennong, and it is said that he is from Wuyang County.
I heard that he was personally appointed as a third-rank official by His Majesty.
Qiu's mother and the others all knew about this.
Although they didn't know how high a rank a third-rank official was, they knew that a prefect was only a fourth-rank official.
At this time Qiu Zifeng said: "Second brother, what does this have to do with Song Shennong?"
"I think you all know my classmate Song Yun!"
Everyone nodded: "Yes."
Because the three of them had a good relationship back then.
So we all know each other.
"Song Shennong is Song Yun's biological second brother, Xin'er's second cousin, and Xin'er's cousin-in-law is the current emperor's only cousin, Princess Anping, who is a very powerful figure in the capital."
"And the reason I can stay in Beijing is all because of Song Yun's constant guidance. I will never be able to repay the Song family's kindness to me in this lifetime. You will never know who you have offended."
"Song Yun may just let it go based on our relationship as classmates, but if we want our relationship to remain the same, it will probably be difficult."
"But Princess Anping is very protective of Xin'er, her cousin's wife. The maids around her are all from the Princess's mansion. Princess Anping must have known how you guys embarrassed Xin'er today."
Qiu Ziyang smiled bleakly as he spoke: "Don't even mention a bright future. If she wants to, she can send me back to Wuyang County with just a flick of her little finger."
"Xin'er's parents do business with the Song family, and their annual income is not less than ours. Their eldest cousin Song Jiang is a fourth-rank general, their second cousin is a third-rank minister of agriculture, and their third cousin's business covers the entire Jin Dynasty, so they make money like water. Their fourth cousin is the new top scholar, and their cousin's wife is a princess with a fiefdom, which is higher than some princesses."
"But the Song family is willing to help. They can introduce any conditions to me. You still think she is marrying above her station. This is ridiculous. Who is marrying above her station?"
The Qiu family listened to Qiu Ziyang talking about Zhao Xin's family background.
They hadn't thought of that at all.
Qiu Zifeng's wife asked curiously, "Isn't Zhao Xin's cousin also from Wuyang County?"
Qiu Ziyang looked at his sister-in-law: "She is the eldest princess's only daughter. She got lost and ended up in Fanhua Village."
When Qiu's mother heard this, she was surprised that her son's classmate had really made a breakthrough!
Wouldn't Song Yun be following his wife and calling His Majesty "cousin"?
Why doesn't his son have such good luck?
But it's not too late.
Mother Qiu's expression became much more restrained.
All kinds of plots in mind.
"Zi Yang! Don't be discouraged! Princess Anping wouldn't be so stingy about such a small matter! Besides, if Zhao Xin really likes you, how could she let the princess trip you up!"
Qiu Wan also said, "That's right, but second brother, why didn't you tell me about second sister-in-law's family background earlier! This has caused everyone to misunderstand and think that she is trying to marry you."
Power is a good thing, and Qiu Wan is someone who would curry favor with the powerful. Now she immediately changes her tone and calls her second sister-in-law.
Qiu Ziyang looked at his sister sharply: "Do you think it's wrong to marry someone above your station?"
Qiu Wan was just about to say, isn’t that just vanity?
But when she saw the look in her second brother's eyes, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
If she really dared to speak.
Is it possible that her second brother just found someone to marry her off?
Mother Qiu saw that her little daughter looked guilty.
She coughed softly and said, "Hmm... Zi Yang! If you really must have her, mother won't stop you. Go and explain to her that mother is just not feeling well today."
Qiu Ziyang glanced at his mother briefly, then turned around and went back to his room.
Others are not fools, how can they not know what his mother means?
Besides, Xin'er was not brought up in a boudoir. She has always been managed by her cousin's wife. Although she is not very good at dealing with people, she is very good at observing people's words and expressions.
Mother Qiu looked at her son and went back to her room without saying a word.
His face was ashen.
Qiu Zifeng's wife looked at her mother-in-law who looked unhappy.
He also comforted her, "Mother, Miss Zhao is angry, so his second uncle is just a little uncomfortable now. I think it will be fine when Miss Zhao calms down."
After saying that, she looked at her husband and said, "My husband, go and comfort his second uncle."
Qiu Zifeng nodded: "Okay."
Qiu Wan was delighted to see that her mother actually agreed to this marriage.
I still feel a little unfair.
Although now it sounds like Zhao Xin is not bad.
But her identity is not very beneficial to her!
There is definitely no young man of the same age around me.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fall in love with her second brother.
After all, who doesn’t like the young masters of noble families in the capital?
But Qiu Zifeng's wife felt that Zhao Xin was more suitable.
After all, if you marry a daughter of an official family, you may not be able to be the head of the family.
She may not necessarily respect you. Instead of this, it is better to marry someone from the countryside who has some background.
I will be able to continue to be in charge of the family in the future.
Thinking of this, she began to comfort her mother-in-law.
In fact, Qiu's mother has thought it through now, and this situation is not bad.
Having a background would be beneficial to his son's future, and most importantly, it would be easier for him to control the situation.
But he was still very stubborn and refused to admit that he was also attracted by the other person's background.
"Well, I've thought it through. What the child likes is more important than anything else."
