Chapter 139: Marriage is destined
In Prime Minister Hu Cheng's courtyard, the owner of Xifeng Mansion was very vigilant, and invited Xuanyuan Mingyu and Xu Blacksmith father and son into the house to talk in detail.
A few people entered the house and sat down, and the owner of the West Wind Mansion admitted that he was Qin Xingyi's father-in-law, and asked Qin Xingyi when he would return to the capital?
Seeing that everyone was counted as their own people, there was no need to see outside, so he described the general context of the matter and asked why the owner of the West Wind Mansion appeared here.
The owner of the West Wind Mansion was about to answer, but he heard Xu Xiaodi ask with a smile: "You are the father of Little Star, do you know?" Little Star is getting married. ”
"Married? Who is Little Star? "The Lord of the West Wind Mansion really doesn't know the details.
"Yes, the little star is Miss Qin, and she wants to marry this little brother." Xu Xiaodi said happily.
"Third prince, what's going on? Are you running away from marriage? The owner of the West Wind Mansion asked puzzled.
"Don't misunderstand, Xiaodi is joking." Blacksmith Xu was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between them, so he hurriedly explained.
Xuanyuan Mingyu knew that the owner of the West Wind Mansion was very talented and sensible, and he helped Qin Xingyi plan a serial plan to avenge his righteous daughter, but now the truth is revealed, Qin Xingyi's father murderer is not himself, I don't know how the landlord will treat him?
It was also when the owner of the West Wind Mansion came to protect Hu Feng this time that he learned that Qin Xingyi had made a mistake in killing his father's enemy, and he was very guilty of helping to formulate a serial plan to deal with the three princes, and he intended to make up for his shortcomings, and said: "Third prince, the old man has recently met the owner of the Hu Pavilion, he is very sorry for what he has done to you in the past, and he lost your jade pendant, making you a scapegoat for murder, please forgive me." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu leaned on the chair and said very generously: "What Pavilion Master Hu did before was indeed excessive, but people die like lights going out, since Pavilion Master Hu has been buried in the fire, let the past pass, I don't care about it." ”
A sly smile flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the West Wind Building, and he felt that there were some things that did not need to be explained in depth, if the third prince thought that Hu Feng was dead, he would not mention it again! Changing the topic, he said: "The old man had a good relationship with Prime Minister Hu Cheng in his early years, and a few days ago he learned that he was going to return to his hometown, so he came to see him off, and promised to help with an important matter, so he stayed here." If you're going to spend a few days, that's absolutely no problem. You rest first, and the old man will retire for the time being. ”
Seeing that the owner of the West Wind Mansion agreed to stay overnight, Xu Blacksmith fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, thanked him again and again, sent the West Wind Lord away, and arranged for Xuanyuan Mingyu to go to bed to rest.
The owner of the West Wind Mansion walked out of the guest room, returned to the study where he temporarily stayed, and left a few words on a piece of rice paper on the desk, indicating that he needed to go out for something, and guessed that when Hu Feng came out of the tunnel, he would see a note and leave a message.
Qin Xingyi returned home from a banquet in the palace, and was very depressed, because Deputy Commander Yu ran back to the palace with an injury to report that the third prince refused to go to the banquet, Qin Xingyi was ready to ask Xuanyuan Mingyu what the reason was, but after returning to the mansion, he pushed open the door of the guest room, saw that it was empty, and was stunned at the door, recalling the laughter and laughter that came from inside when he left in the middle of the night.
While he was struggling, a guard ran over to report that Blacksmith Xu had borrowed two fruit baskets containing hawthorns in the mansion and picked up the third prince and Xiaodi, and would come back to inform the eldest princess when he had a place to stay.
Qin Xingyi was very depressed after hearing this, wandering in the courtyard, and suddenly heard the guard at the door report that a white-faced old man had come to visit.
As soon as Qin Xingyi's heart moved, he knew who it was, and hurriedly said, "Please come here!" ”
The owner of the West Wind Mansion walked in, saw Qin Xingyi's depressed appearance, and asked, "Why are you unhappy?" ”
Qin Xingyi looked up and saw that it was indeed her father-in-law who came, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Father-in-law, please come into the house, I went to visit Xifeng Tower last night, but I didn't expect my father-in-law to be there, the second uncle said that my father-in-law has something important to do, I don't know what my father-in-law is busy with, do you need help?" ”
The two walked into the house and sat down, Qin Xingyi ordered the maid to bring hot tea, knowing that his father-in-law must have something important to do this time, so he closed the door and the two talked secretly.
The lord of the West Wind Mansion said mysteriously: "Today I saw three people coming out of your mansion, I guess you know who they are, right?" ”
Qin Xingyi was overjoyed and asked, "Could it be Mingyu and them?" ”
The lord of the West Wind Mansion smiled and asked, "I heard that little kid say, you are going to marry the third prince?" What's going on? The daughter doesn't say a word to her father when she gets married, this is a bit like that, right? I think when we set up the third step of the serial plan, it was indeed to let the three princes into the family, but it was also given by the emperor to marry, and then we sent troops to attack the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the name of avenging his grievances and recovering the country, how did you talk to him about this matter now? If there is no cause or effect, it becomes that you want to marry him directly? Does the emperor know about this? ”
Qin Xingyi's face turned red, a little shy, and said: "Father-in-law, there is a reason for this, I already know that Xuanyuan Mingyu is not my father-killing enemy, and I regret that I have caused him so much damage, so I want to make up for him." ”
The lord of the West Wind Mansion said very seriously: "I understand your intentions, but there are some things that cannot be dealt with by personal feelings, the serial plan alarms the emperor, and the West Wind Building, after careful planning and implementation, it is now halfway through, and it cannot be abandoned halfway." ”
Qin Xingyi said: "Father-in-law, what you said is the same as what the emperor thinks, the emperor also mentioned this matter before today's imperial banquet, and is going to exchange Xuanyuan Mingyu for Puwang border city, I don't know why the emperor is so interested in a border city." ”
The Lord of the West Wind Mansion explained: "This matter is actually the father's idea. After all, our Xifeng Building is just a dark organization in the Western Qin Kingdom, after so many years of development, there is not much achievement, I plan to use a series of plans this time to give our Xifeng Building a small piece of land, and let my father become the city lord of Puwang City. As a father, we can rely on this small border city to develop and grow our organization. ”
Qin Xingyi suddenly realized, knowing that it was her father-in-law's idea, and asked, "How does the father-in-law plan to do this?" ”
The lord of the West Wind Mansion was confident, and explained the plan in detail, which roughly meant that he would accompany Qin Xingyi to send Xuanyuan Mingyu to the Puwang Border City, and let Prince Su Meng hand over the jurisdiction of the Puwang Border City, and the West Wind Mansion Lord would be in charge.
The lord of the West Wind Mansion planned to detain Prince Sumeng after becoming the lord of the city, and then arrange the wedding of Qin Xingyi and Xuanyuan Mingyu, and expand his forces to attack the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Although Qin Xingyi was a little worried about this plan, afraid of hurting Xuanyuan Mingyu, but seeing that her father-in-law had a more thoughtful idea, she couldn't raise any objections for the time being, but she felt that she didn't leave a little time for herself to track down her father's murderer, so she regretted it in her heart and asked, "Father-in-law." I can't find out who killed my father for a day, and I can't sleep well for a day. What clues does my stepfather have these days? ”
The owner of the West Wind Mansion cherishes his righteous daughter very much, and frankly says his thoughts: "Regarding this matter, my father has always been very sad, and it is my duty to help you find out the murderer, and I do have a clue now." The jade pendant of the murder evidence was thrown by Hu Feng at the scene, and a big fire burned the Proton Mansion the night before yesterday, and it seems that someone wants to kill people. According to this reasoning, Hu Feng has a major connection with your father-killing enemy. Just ask him to find out the truth. ”
"Father-in-law, wasn't Hu Feng burned to death?"
Fortunately, the old man arrived in time that night, although Hu Feng was not burned to death, but he was frightened and became demented, I am afraid that asking him this question now will be incoherent and indistinct, and it may take a while. But now that you have a clue, sooner or later the matter will come to light, and your great revenge will be avenged sooner or later. It's better for us to continue to push forward the serial plan, and wait until the time is ripe to achieve your and mine's respective goals. ”
Qin Xingyi felt that it made sense after listening to the words of the owner of the West Wind Building, so she no longer insisted on her opinion, but because Xuanyuan Mingyu was gone, she felt very awkward in her heart, and asked, "Father-in-law, where is Mingyu?" I want to meet him......"
The lord of the West Wind Mansion smiled: "My father is here for this reason!" Blacksmith Xu ridiculously picked a pair of vegetable baskets and sent them to Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion, these two baskets of 'vegetables' contain the people you are looking for. ”
Qin Xingyi pursed her lips and smiled: "They just like to play pranks, why should they pretend to be vegetable sellers and escape?" It's not a bad thing for the emperor to ask them to go to a banquet! ”
"It's understandable. When a person is repeatedly misunderstood and hurt by his neighbors, he will be very suspicious and refuse to go to the palace for a banquet, which is understandable. For my father, I will accompany you to see them in Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion, let's go! ”
Qin Xingyi thought that she would be able to see Xuanyuan Mingyu again soon, and she was very happy, and said, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, I want to wash my face and dress up." ”
The owner of the West Wind Mansion thought that he understood the girl's mind, and when he went to see his sweetheart, he always had to dress up beautifully, so he motioned to Qin Xingyi to hurry up and wait in the courtyard.
Girls' grooming is the most time-consuming thing, and it took half an hour for the maids in the house to dress up Qin Xingyi. The owner of the West Wind Building is very patient, standing in the courtyard and waiting.
Suddenly, the door of the bedroom "squeaked", the door opened, and a very beautiful and moving girl walked out of the door, wearing a palace dress, with towering cloud buns, golden skirts, picturesque eyebrows, and peerless elegance.
The owner of the West Wind Mansion took Qin Xingyi back to Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion. Blacksmith Xu was walking out of the guest room with Xiaodi, and saw Qin Xingyi walking into the backyard alone, and stepped forward to explain. Qin Xingyi waved his hand and said, "I know everything, you did the right thing." ”
Blacksmith Xu thanked Qin Xingyi for her generosity. Xiaodi happily shouted into the guest room: "Little brother, guess who came to see you?" ”
Qin Xingyi pushed open the door and saw Xuanyuan Mingyu sitting at the desk, suddenly felt weak, full of questions and unable to pursue it, leaned on the door, and asked softly, "Why did you leave the eldest princess's mansion?" ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu turned his head, his handsome face showed a kind smile, stood up, looked at Qin Xingyi and smiled, and a thousand words turned into one sentence: "Why don't you come in quickly?" ”
Qin Xingyi walked into the room with her neck hanging down shyly, and suddenly felt that she was being hugged, and said, "You are so bad, after we get married, if you still bully me, then I will ......" Before she finished speaking, her red lips were kissed.
