Chapter 20 is as secretive as it gets
On the second day, the Sixth Emperor Uncle came back from sweeping the tomb, and before he entered the door of the inner mansion, he had already reported to him the matter of Song Lu and Qin Lun. In fact, there is no need for others to sue sΓΉ, the half of the door panel in the backyard will not be repaired for a while, and the Sixth Emperor Uncle will see it sooner or later.
Uncle Six Emperor listened to the fact that the door panel was demolished, and it really seemed that his stupid second son had done it, but he didn't know why Qin Lun fell into the river, so he hurriedly summoned Qin Lun to ask for clarification.
Qin Lun knew that he had been in trouble yesterday, so he changed into a plain regular clothes, and went to the study of the Sixth Emperor Uncle with low eyebrows and pleasing to the company of Lianzhu.
I saw that Uncle Liuhuang was standing in front of the bookcase and writing, behind him was a huge bookcase, the bookcase and the inner wall were wide on one side, and there was a huge window on the wall on both sides of the study, and the room was wide and bright. There are pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paperweight, inkstone, and two piles of rice paper, and a number of books, all of which are valuable. There is a huge dark red carpet under the desk, which is resplendent and rich. Qin Lun pondered, this carpet should be a Persian Nashi loss, and the floor was covered with rosewood under the carpet. At the bottom of the bookcase is a chair with embroidered cushions of gold thread.
Qin Lun walked in with his head down, knelt down and bowed to the Sixth Emperor Uncle, who just lowered his head to write, did not raise his eyes to look at Qin Lun, but said lightly: "Sit." β
Qin Lun sat diagonally, and Lianzhu stood behind her to serve.
After about half an hour, Uncle Six Emperor raised his head, and it happened that it was raining outside the window at this time. Uncle Liuhuang personally closed the windows on both sides of the study, and pulled down the bamboo curtains, and the light in the entire study suddenly dimmed.
"I heard that the county lord fell into the water yesterday?" the Sixth Emperor Uncle sat down on the Taishi chair opposite Qin Lun, his voice as stern and cold as the weather outside the window.
Although Qin Lun felt guilty and blamed herself, she wanted to find out more about Qin Pu's tombstone at the moment, so she said boldly: "Since my uncle asked me why I fell into the water, Lun'er didn't dare to hide it. β
The Sixth Emperor Uncle sat in a majestic posture, with his two hands on the handle of the Taishi Chair, his long beard reaching to his chest, and his eyes staring at Qin Lun with burning eyes.
Qin Lun was stared at by the stern eyes of the Sixth Emperor Uncle, and Lianzhu didn't even dare to come out. The study was already very depressed, and Qin Lun could only hear the sound of rain falling from the eaves of the porch to the windowsill outside the house.
After a while, the Sixth Emperor Uncle spoke, but he didn't answer Qin Lun's words, but talked about another topic: "What does the county lord think of my dog Song Lu?"
Qin Lun was even more red-faced when he was asked, lowered his head and replied: "The second cousin is handsome and talented, hot-blooded and righteous, and he is a good person. Although I didn't have much contact with him, I heard the people in the house say so. β
The Sixth Emperor Uncle shook his head and said to Qin Lun: "I know my own son, my eldest son Song Fu, is a brave warrior, and now he is the general of Fuyuan, as long as he does not die on the battlefield, I have nothing to worry about him." My youngest son, Song Shou, although he is naughty now, is only ten years old after all, Shou'er is talented and intelligent, and he can become a great tool if he sharpens and sharpens in the future. β
Speaking of this, Uncle Six Emperors suddenly paused. Qin Lun hurriedly answered: "Uncle is very right. β
Uncle Six Emperor sighed and continued: "It's just that my second son, Song Lu, is full of liver and gall, but lacks the wisdom to deal with the world, and he is not top-notch in literature and martial arts, which is what worries me the most. β
When Qin Lun heard this, he remembered his father Qin Ji's teaching since he was a child, others say that their children are not good, you must not follow the words, because no matter how much parents talk about their children is not good, they don't think so in their hearts. The so-called children are their own good, and their wives and concubines are the good of others, which is the truth.
Qin Lun hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle, what are you talking about?Second cousin, that is wise and foolish, he is not inferior to the other two cousins at all." β
The Sixth Emperor Uncle shook his head: "He and Meng Sui have already set up a marriage, I heard that Meng Guifei in the palace is virtuous and capable, and her sister Meng Sui will naturally not be bad." I'm just afraid that Lu'er will be held hostage by her in the future. β
Qin Lun didn't know what the intention of the Sixth Emperor Uncle suddenly started a family relationship with him, so he had to say some prevarication: "Uncle is too worried, since ancient times, Chang'e loves young people, and the second cousin is a talent, and Meng Sui will definitely marry in the future." β
Seeing that Qin Lun was still better at talking, the Sixth Emperor Uncle's complexion eased a lot, he stood up and paced back and forth on the carpet and said: "So between this husband and wife, if the mountain is high, the water is low, and when the mountain is low, the water flows, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind." β
Qin Lun was in a fog, and he didn't know what the Sixth Emperor Uncle was going to say to him today.
The Sixth Emperor Uncle saw Qin Lun's thoughts, so he explained: "Yesterday, I have agreed with the emperor to allow you to enter the palace on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Duanyang Festival. The queen mother means that good things come in pairs, she has a niece and granddaughter Funing, who entered the palace on the same day as you, and both of them were named nobles first. β
Although Qin Lun was reluctant to enter the palace with others, since she came to the capital, she had already been unable to help herself, so she had no objections.
"But it's up to my uncle to decide. Qin Lun got up and knelt down.
Uncle Six Emperor didn't tell Qin Lun to get up, and continued to pacing to himself, and said: "I just told you about Lu'er, that is, to tell you, no matter what kind of temperament, if you want to be a husband and wife in the future, you must think more before acting, and never forget the way of dealing with the world." Although Lu'er is my son, once he gets married, he will be the emperor's brother-in-law, and whether he will be good or bad in the future depends on his own temperament, not my father. β
Qin Lun heard some clues, the Sixth Emperor Uncle was borrowing Song Lu to remind himself, once he entered the palace, anything would be beyond the reach of the Sixth Emperor Uncle. Seeing that the Sixth Emperor Uncle was not annoyed by the demolition of the door panel yesterday, he secretly relieved his heart and listened to the Sixth Emperor Uncle continue to speak.
Sure enough, Uncle Six Emperor continued: "You and Song Lu are both my children, and I can't help him, so naturally I can't help you. You are smarter than Lu'er, after entering the palace on the Duanyang Festival, you must be low-key and cautious in everything, and you must not provoke right and wrong and offend others. Uncle can see that you are an understanding child. Without further ado, you just have to remember eight wordsβ"
"Eight words?" Qin Lun raised his head in surprise, not knowing what the Sixth Emperor Uncle was going to say.
"These eight words are -- don't seek merit, but seek no fault!" The Sixth Emperor Uncle said, "Lu'er and Meng Sui married for our mansion, and you entered the palace for the glory and wealth of the Qin family, as long as you are in the palace, the glory of the Qin family can be regarded as preserved. Do you understand?"
Qin Lun nodded: "Lun'er respectfully follows her uncle's teachings. β
"And-" Uncle Six Emperor remembered something again, and continued to advise, "For example, about your aunt Qin Pu, whether you saw her tombstone yesterday or saw her relics, even if you saw her body popping out of the coffin, you must pretend not to see it, turn a deaf ear to her rumors, and you can't take the initiative to inquire." so as not to get into trouble!"
"But uncle......" Qin Lun asked puzzledly, "How did my aunt die?, can you sue me before entering the palace?" xh:.74.240.212
