Chapter 103 The Sincerity of the World
Duchess Lu Guo didn't realize that she had completely followed her son's train of thought at this time, and only thought that Qiu Ruolan was only thirteen years old and still a little girl, but she didn't think that Qiu Ruolan was fourteen years old at this time, and she would be able to marry next year.
An Shicheng saw the expression on his mother's face change, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
An Shicheng has always been praised for being loyal and generous, and he thinks so in his heart, but he never imagined that the object of his first scheming was his mother.
But this is really something that there is no way to do, and the reason for this last resort can be traced back to what happened after his family was rescued by the Qiu family that year.
However, it was said that when the world was in turmoil that year, the prosperous place of the capital of Dachu became a battlefield.
In order to avoid disasters, the common people had to flee from all directions.
Lu Guogong only attacked a small township at that time, he was poor and had no talent, although he was also surnamed An, but he couldn't make a contribution in the war that was related to the safety of the An family, so he had to collect some soft family wealth and flee with everyone.
The battle in front was in full swing, and the thieves in the back were in chaos, and Lu Guogong's family was also unlucky.
The thief was also hateful, and only said that he had robbed the property, but seeing that the Duchess of Lu Guo still had a bit of beauty, he was about to take it, and because he accidentally knew that he was a member of the royal family, in order to avoid future troubles, he actually had the evil intention of killing people and destroying his mouth.
Seeing that Lu Guogong's family was about to die, fortunately the heavens did not stop him, and when his life was in danger, the Qiu family happened to come over.
There were only a dozen robbers in that gang, which was more than enough to deal with Lu Guogong's family.
At this time, seeing that the Qiu family was not only crowded, but also dozens of strong men, and they were still holding swords and sticks in their hands, those gangsters knew that they could not gain the upper hand in the fight, so they hurriedly left people behind and fled away with only their belongings.
The lives of Lu Guogong's family were saved, and they were reborn after the catastrophe, and the family cried bitterly, and they were grateful for Qiu's life-saving grace, and they never dared to forget each other.
It turned out that Qiu Ming and Qiu Rong did not move south with the Qiu clan for some reason, and at this time the capital was in turmoil, and the two families took their families to escape the war.
Coincidentally, they were originally going to take another road, but when the side road passed through the fork, Qiu Ruyi insisted on passing by.
Speaking of which, Qiu Ruyi was only two years old there, which was the age of curiosity, and God knows what scenery attracted her on this road.
But how can a two-year-old child be the master of dozens of people in the Qiu family?
Besides, the original route must have many considerations from everyone, and it is not that it can be changed.
But Qiu Ruyi has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and at this time, she was only unwilling to let her parents explain and persuade her, but in fact, it was also because she was too young to understand what her parents meant, so she had to take this road, otherwise she would dance with her hands and legs, crying loudly, crying until her face turned purple, and she almost lost her breath.
Seeing this situation, no matter how angry Yu was, he immediately turned into nothing, hurriedly hugged his daughter to comfort him, and cheekily went to discuss with Qiu Ming and his wife.
Duan's looked at his little daughter who was sleeping quietly in his arms, but he was quite considerate of Yu's motherly heart, which way to take is not to go, no one is a prophet, and who knows if the previously agreed route is really peaceful.
Therefore, the Duan family helped the Yu family to speak, and the Qiu Ming brothers had nothing to say, so they temporarily changed their ways.
However, Qiu Ruyi only looked at the scenery a few times, and then lost interest, and because he was making too much noise, he was a little tired, rubbed his eyes a few times, and just slept in his mother's arms, making Qiu Rong and his wife cry and laugh, and they could no longer imagine their daughter's willfulness for a while, so they saved Lu Guogong's family, and almost gave their life out.
It turned out that the two Qiu Ming brothers were warm-hearted, seeing that Lu Guogong's family was ransacked, several men were cut again, and the women and children were crying together, and they knew the family well, so they simply saved people to the end and invited them to go on the road together.
This is really a big surprise for Lu Guogong's family after the danger, and they are naturally busy responding, and they can't help but thank each other.
After getting along for a period of time, Duchess Lu Guo had some ideas in her heart.
At that time, she would never have dreamed that she would one day become the Duchess of the Kingdom and enter the circle of powerful people in the capital, so in the face of the declining Qiu family, Duchess Lu Guo's heart was still full of envy.
Because the townsman at that time had long been away from the circle of the powerful, and his ancestors had been guilty of crimes, where could he be compared with the Qiu family of the century-old family.
is that the Qiu family has fallen down, just because his family has passed on poetry and books in recent years, and most of the men who have become a family have a future of fame, which is enough to be admired by the Duchess of Lu Guo at that time.
Thinking that no matter whether the dynasty is changed in the future, the son will not be able to attack the title, but can only take the official career, Duchess Lu Guo secretly planned in her heart that if her son can rely on the Shangqiu clan, it will be a great help in the future, and the best thing is the marriage of the two families.
Anyway, the Qiu family is the savior of their own family, if the Qiu family has a bad one, their own family will not be able to stand idly by, in this case, it is better to marry, share blessings and misfortunes, and their own family will also get some advantages, and then they will not let the Qiu daughter be wronged.
Coincidentally, the two Qiu Ming brothers each have a daughter, but Qiu Ming's daughter, who is still unsteady in walking when she is young, and knows that she is a descendant of the Qiu family, so naturally she does not dare to climb high, so Duchess Lu Guo couldn't help but hit Qiu Ruyi with her idea.
Although Qiu Ruyi was born in the Qiu family, she is also a descendant of the Qiu family, and her father is famous and her mother is very rich. But each has its own shortcomings: his mother was born in a merchant, and his father was expelled from the Qiu family, and he has not yet become an official.
And although his family is not as rich as her family, he is from the royal family and has a noble bloodline, which is not an insult to his daughter.
Especially when Duchess Lu Guo heard that she was able to get Qiu's help this time, it was because Qiu Ruyi cried and changed the route, so no matter how you look at it, it is a godsend.
So Duchess Lu Guo intended to let her son play with Qiu Ruyi.
In fact, most of the older children don't like to play with children younger than themselves, just like the little sons of the Qiu family think that Qiu Ruyi is young and don't like to take her to play, and Qiu Ruyi thinks that Qiu Yujuan can't speak clearly and walks unsteadily, so they don't pay much attention to her.
However, there are exceptions, at least An Shicheng likes to play with Qiu Ruyi.
An Shicheng was seven years old at the time, and he already knew something.
His mother was robbed, his family was slashed to death, and his fear and despair at that time were all deeply rooted in his heart, and he didn't need to be mentioned by adults for Qiu's life-saving grace, he had already remembered it.
So he can not only play with the little boys of the same age as the Qiu family, but also play patiently with Qiu Ruyi.
Moreover, Qiu Ruyi looked like a snow ball at that time, with a pink face, and a chubby and cute face, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it. The red lips, the words are soft and tender, and the sound of "Brother Cheng" makes his heart warm, and he can't wait to take it home and raise it like his own sister.
A child's heart is the most, although Qiu Ruyi is young, she can feel An Shicheng's love for her, so she sticks to An Shicheng every day.
For this situation, Duchess Lu Guo was very satisfied, and slightly revealed to her son that day Qiu Ruyi's recourse, and taught him some words, in fact, those words are very similar to the "Golden House Zangjiao" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Yeshili, which is now An Shicheng's blushing face of shame when he thinks about it, where can a child come up with it, besides, he is not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Qiu Ruyi will not be Chen Ajiao, so although Yu Shi saw the closeness of the two children, he still refused without hesitation.
Duchess Lu Guo felt quite shameless, fortunately there was some gold and silver hidden that day, at that time the first emperor had driven Beiyi out of the capital, and his family left the Qiu family and went back to their residence.
I don't want good luck to befall them one after another, first of all, the first emperor thanked the An clan for going through internal and external strife, and the heirs were not prosperous, so in order to comfort the souls of the ancestors, the descendants of the An clan were sealed.
Lu Guogong was promoted from the township to the county because of the same line as the first emperor, and then to the county prince, and later the new emperor ascended the throne and was named the prince of the country.
Duchess Lu Guo became angry at this time, because she felt that she had lost face because she was rejected by the Yu family that day, and thinking of her own family at that time, she felt a little pimple in her heart, so on the one hand, she taught her two sons not to forget the life-saving grace of the Qiu family, but on the other hand, she rarely walked around with the Qiu family.
But An Shicheng's heart can't forget the courtship incident.
It was also him who drilled the horns, and when he heard his mother say that it was because Qiu Ruyi changed the course that he saved the lives of the whole family, so he and Qiu Ruyi were destined to marry, and he was very happy to think of being able to bring home such a pink and jade female doll.
So he told Qiu Ruyi what his mother wanted him to say in front of Qiu Ruyi's eyes, and asked her if she would like to be his daughter-in-law.
Where did Qiu Ruyi understand this, and asked An Shicheng to ensure that all the delicious food and fun at home would belong to her in the future, and she was only allowed to play alone with her, so she happily agreed.
Later, although Yu did not agree to the family affair, An Shicheng stubbornly believed that Qiu Ruyi agreed to him, so he still had to fulfill the contract when he grew up.
However, when he grew up day by day, he found that his mother had long since stopped taking this family matter to heart because of her knot and vision.
This makes him at a loss, and if a man does not have faith, he will not stand, and if his mother does this, will she not fall into his injustice?
He has been taught since he was a child to honor his parents and elders, and not to disobey him, not to mention that the matter of marriage is the order of his parents, and it is difficult for him to say that he made an appointment with Qiu Ruyi.
First, they were young at that time, and what they said casually, I am afraid that they would have forgotten it long ago, and it was impossible to count, but even if it was, he did not want to be the one who broke the contract first.
Second, is he considered a private life, will he have a reputation of ruining Qiu Ruyi?
At that time, he was a small person who had no idea and had nothing to do, so he thought of a stupid way, under the pretense of being obsessed with reading, to go out to visit famous teachers, because he knew that he was not in the capital, and his parents would never set a family affair for him at will.
