Chapter 61: Turning the Eye
Just when the generals under his hand looked at each other, Qin Youan had already finished reading the letter, and after a moment of anger, he quickly regained his calm, but his face was still not very good-looking, and he seemed to have a few more helplessness and annoyance than before, probably feeling that he had overreacted just now, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe his face, readjust his expression, and suppress the anger in his heart and the urge to kill in his heart.
Chen Xiuyuan's letter was okay at first, saying all kinds of good news, for example, Ying Tianfu is well, the new crops in the experimental field are growing very well, if the yield is really so much, there will be no hunger in the future. The soldiers performed their duties in an orderly manner. As for the crops, the rice planted after the disaster is also growing well, and it can be harvested immediately, and the yield does not have to be much worse than in the past, so that the generalissimo can rest assured that he will fight outside the country and do not have to worry about the problem of grain and grass.
As early as when he occupied Yingtianfu, in order to restore agricultural production and attack military supplies, Qin You'an not only actively built river embankments and water conservancy, but also sent generals to open up wasteland everywhere, draw some folk strong men, and organize militia. You can't always scavenge for food from the common people, and now, it's finally getting results.
Because in the previous life, Qin Youan had already done it once, and it achieved excellent results, in this life, Qin Youan still followed the old method, and because of his experience, he took many detours.
He Yunting also mentioned this method to Song Liangxiu, and Song Liangxiu praised it endlessly, and was also impressed by He Yunting.
These things made Qin Youan very happy.
It's just that the things that followed made Qin Youan's mood change a few times, and he was extremely angry-
What he feared the most and what he didn't want to see the most finally happened.
He is willing to find a man for his mother, and he is not willing to let his mother die alone. But the premise is that he will personally select the top one with a family background, character, and appearance, rather than a wild man who appeared out of nowhere to seduce his mother.
Moreover, the identity of that man is still ......
I didn't even take him seriously!
Chen Xiuyuan originally didn't find out the clues, because it was impossible for him to send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Tai, that would be a big disrespect, and it was impossible for him to make such a mistake.
However, as the temporary person in charge of Ying Tianfu, after a few days, he would always hear a little rumor, such as Mrs. Tai always disguised herself and went out with a strange man to go out to play in the mountains and rivers.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, because it was Mrs. Tai's private matter. As long as Mrs. Tai does not do anything to disgrace the Generalissimo's Mansion and implicate the reputation of the Generalissimo, he will not meddle in his affairs at all.
Not only will he not care, but he will also help cover it up, so that people will not find out that Mrs. Tai has a close relationship with the man and has a bad reputation, let alone report it to the generalissimo with great fanfare for this matter.
It was only later that he heard that the other party was a tall scribe, and when he couldn't find anything suspicious when he checked it, he suddenly thought of Fang Cheng'an last time.
You must know that last time, Fang Chengan approached Mrs. Tai intentionally or unintentionally, and Mrs. Tai felt that he was a little suspicious, so she told him and asked him to pay more attention to him.
It's a pity that he planted a big heel on Fang Chengan's body, which can be regarded as a black spot in his life-
Not only did he personally recruit him into the marshal's mansion, but even after discovering the problem, he let him run away under his nose, and last time, he had to ask the generalissimo for this matter.
Fortunately, the generalissimo did not blame him and still trusted him.
This time, will Fang Chengan repeat his old tricks?
However, by the time he found out about this and reacted, the other party had already left overnight.
He reacted immediately, regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, while sending people to chase and intercept him, he sent people to deliver a letter to the generalissimo overnight.
The distance of four or five hundred miles, if you work quickly, one day and one night, it is enough to arrive.
In the letter, Chen Xiuyuan not only mentioned this matter, but even mentioned his own speculation, as well as Fang Chengan, who escaped under his nose last time.
Chen Xiuyuan didn't know that Fang Chengan was Qi Wu, but Qin Youan knew!
So, as soon as he read the letter, he understood who the person who seduced his mother was. will be so angry.
The reason why it is so certain that it is Qi Wu is because this matter is not without a trace.
The first time was, when he was in Minzhou, his mother asked him personally, who is Qi Wu? And said that Qi Wu personally told her his identity.
He felt something was wrong.
The second time was when she was in Hezhou, when she married a wife and took a concubine, Qi Wu sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, followed by a letter.
In the letter, Qi Wu greeted his mother in an intimate tone, as if they were so close.
He was also angry about this for a few days.
Later, I simply asked my mother, at that time, my mother's attitude, although it was quite normal, and she vetoed the matter, and seemed to be reluctant to talk about him, but there was still a trace of subtlety.
Although he was a little puzzled, he did not continue to ask.
At that time, did he have a close relationship with his mother?
Now, he took advantage of his expedition to seduce his mother, which is really hateful.
Thinking of this, Qin You'an's anger that had just been suppressed rose again, and he crumpled the letter paper into a ball fiercely.
- Qi Wu, I am inseparable from you!
I will never allow you to be with your mother.
Mother can have a man, but that person must not be Qi Wu.
When he returns from this expedition, he will arrange this matter for his mother.
The mother and mother have never married in their lives, and they are also confused by Qi Wu for a while.
After all, Qi Wu is indeed an excellent man in all aspects.
When his mother saw him too much, she had already forgotten about him, how could she remember him?
From beginning to end, Qin Youan never thought about it,
From beginning to end, he never thought that Qin Shu would betray himself and leak the secret to Qi Wu.
Because he knew very well that the person she valued most in her heart was him, and in front of his son, there was no secret at all, and he had no defense against him.
His mother was only momentarily bewitched by him, and it was impossible for her to betray him for the sake of a wild man.
He also knows a lot about Qi Wu.
He's a bit unscrupulous, but he's not the kind of person who would use women to achieve his goals.
At the beginning, he was forced to that kind of Cheng dΓΉ, and he refused to wronged himself to marry a wife and take a concubine to appease the soldiers under his command!
How can you use a beautiful man trick in order to steal secrets?
Compared with this, he believes that he really likes his mother, so he will do this.
But, so what?
One day with him, he doesn't want to get what he wants.
Thinking of this, Qin Youan laughed suspiciously again.
Let the soldiers under his hands see it, and they can't help but feel excited.
Generalissimo...... What is this stimulating?
Qin Youan replied to Chen Xiuyuan with a letter on the spot, asking him to completely suppress this matter, he didn't want to hear a little rumor, let alone alarm Mrs. Tai, and sent people to continue to hunt down Qi Wu and so on.
He didn't plan to find out this matter with his mother for the time being, and after he went back, Qi Wu's influence on his mother had also subsided, and it was not too late for him to find a chance to slowly have a showdown with his mother.
He not only wants to protect his mother's face, but he also doesn't want her to be sad and sad, and hurt the relationship between mother and son, so he can only slowly try to do it.
Qin Shu's side didn't know that You'an already knew about the between herself and Qi Wu, in fact, she didn't plan to hide it from him. When You'an comes back, just talk to him. Until they have decided the winner, she will never see him again in private.
She doesn't need to hide or be weak about this.
Rather than You'an finding out this kind of thing by herself and affecting the relationship between mother and son, she would rather confess to him at the beginning.
In the past, You'an did ask her about Qi Wu.
But at that time, she was really innocent with Qi Wu, and she never thought of being with him at that time.
There is no need to mention it to You'an about her taking Zhou Zhen'er back, after all, it's just a trivial matter, You'an is busy, there is no need to be distracted by this matter.
After Qi Wu left, Qin Shu's life calmed down.
When He Yunting knew that Tie Feng had left with Qi Wu, and he was ruthlessly left behind, his lungs were about to explode.
She really wanted to catch up immediately, but she couldn't get out of He's house for a while, and the most important thing was that the people around her who protected her told her that Qi Wuyi and his party seemed to have leaked their whereabouts and were being chased and intercepted, so she suddenly retreated, so she could only stay in He's house, and when the matter passed, she would leave quietly.
Although she believed that with Qi Wu's ability, she should not be caught, but she was different.
She is just a weak woman who is powerless, and she can't take the initiative to get up to her knowing the danger ahead.
Regarding the matter of Qi Wu and her "fellow countryman", she didn't have the heart to investigate. I only hid in He's house every day, and I didn't even dare to go out of the door.
He Yunyao saw that her sister was depressed, so she took the initiative to talk to her every day to relieve her boredom.
But He Yunting still couldn't lift her spirits.
She didn't know what else she could do now?
Now that my sister is not married to Cheng Taizu, and even Cheng Taizu has been replaced by a butterfly and replaced by Qin Youan, it is even more impossible for my sister to marry him, and the crisis of the He family will naturally not exist.
So what is the point of what she did before?
But she is still unwilling, she has paid so much and suffered so much, she can't accept her fate like this, and continue to be the eldest lady of the He family who is despised.
She traveled through a lifetime, planning to make a career, not to be trampled on.
Therefore, she still has to return to Ezhou and return to Song Liangxiu, so that she can rise.
She also decided that if Qi Wu still refused to deal with her after going back this time, she would change her target to assist.
Qi Wu has eyes but no beads, and she has her own discerning people who appreciate her talent.
After a few days, the wind passed, and she left.
She thought that she would be able to do a big job when she came back, but now she knew that on other people's territory, she could only shrink into her turtle shell forever, unable to do anything, and even her life was pinched in the palm of her hand.
If you do it a little bit out of the ordinary, you will be discovered. So much so that many of her plans were stillborn.
He Yunting didn't know that her origin had aroused the suspicion of Qin Shu and Qin Youan, and therefore she was also eyeing the He family.
Fortunately, Qin Youan was a little interested in her and didn't take her seriously. is not in a hurry to take her life.
The He family is in Yingtianfu again, as long as she keeps an eye on the He family, she will never be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
The living are more useful than the dead.
She thought she could come if she wanted to, and she could leave if she wanted to!
Unless Qin Youan purposefully let her go, it would be impossible for her to leave Ying Tianfu one step before Qin You'an triumphed.
"Sister, have you thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?" He Yunting took He Yunyao's hand and asked.
He Yunyao blushed and shook her head slightly, and said, "I listen to my father." β
"Absolutely not!" He Yunting said sternly.
When He Yunyao heard this, she couldn't help frowning, revealing a little disapproval, she pulled her hand out of her hand, lowered her eyes and said: "I don't understand my sister's words, as the saying goes, the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, in the major events of life, we naturally have to listen to our father's words." β
He Yunting also noticed that her attitude was wrong, and if someone heard it, an unfilial hat would be buttoned off.
She hurriedly smiled and said, "Good sister, sister doesn't mean that."
That's what it means. I'm just afraid that my father and mother will marry you casually, just like my sister did at the beginning. My sister is also thinking about you. β
When He Yunyao heard this, she was a little eager to say and stopped: "However, I think the family that my father and mother chose for my sister is very good, the family background and family style are not bad, why does my sister have to run away from marriage?" Otherwise, my sister would already be a young grandmother by now. "It's always much stronger than it is now.
In the He family, who really regards her sister as the eldest lady of the He family! They don't even know what to say about her behind their backs!
Every time she heard it, she was very angry, but she couldn't stop her subordinates.
My sister said that she ran away from marriage to save the He family.
However, now that the He family is fine, where is the need for her to save it?
Can't my sister marry and live in peace?
He Yunting was most annoyed to hear this kind of words, and she was very unhappy in her heart, but for the sake of her being her sister who she had loved since childhood, she could only suppress this displeasure. Natives are natives, they don't understand themselves at all, even her younger sister who grew up is the same, and the generation gap of hundreds of years is not so easy to cross.
"There is no crisis now, it does not mean that there will be no crisis in the future, we have to look at the long term, have you forgotten, I will prophesy."
Seeing that her sister didn't listen, He Yunyao hung her head in disappointment, quite discouraged.
She feels that her sister has now fallen into a magic barrier, as a girl's family, it is enough to marry well, and it is enough to teach her husband and children, so why think about it so much!
Of course, when it is time to contribute to the family, they can't retreat, they grew up in the He family, and they have been clothed and fed from childhood to adulthood, so they naturally repay the family for their nurturing grace.
But how did my sister do it?
The family obviously hasn't reached that point, so why does she have to make a mistake on her own? Even for this reason, even her parents were disobedient, and she ran away from marriage to smear the family's reputation, she kept saying that it was for the family, why didn't she see what she did for the family?
Does she really think that she is a woman like Mrs. Qin, and she can turn the tide with her own strength?
Although she is not used to seeing women show up and make contributions outside, she still admires some of the things that Mrs. Qin has done.
But sister, she has been tossing for so long, and what is the name of the toss?
Now, she is still thinking about pulling the He family into the water, even if she respects her, she can't look at it.
He Yunting saw that her sister only lowered her head and didn't speak, she knew that she didn't approve of her words, and she also felt a little boring, her kindness was ruined, and the look on her face was cold. It's just that there are some things she still has to say.
"I don't want you to disobey your parents' orders, it's just that you are different from me, you are so good-looking, I am afraid that my father and mother will marry you to someone as a concubine for the future of the He family, and when the time comes, won't your life be ruined?" He Yunting said.
She was really worried that her father and mother would marry her sister to Qin Youan as a concubine.
When the time comes, my sister will be like a sheep, how can it end well?
Her "fellow" may have deliberately embarrassed her.
Once she didn't want the He family to have a close connection with the Qin family.
However, the parents wanted to send their daughter in to compete for favor and flatter the Qin family.
He Yunyao had a different opinion, she shook her head and said: "Sister, don't say this kind of thing in the future, we are the daughters of the He family, just to sacrifice some for the family, and we should also do it." If my father and mother really do that, there must be a reason to do it, and I will not have an opinion. β
"You...... Oops, I can't tell you anymore. You said that you have such a stunning face, why don't you have a brain! You're so willing to be manipulated by others, and you don't care about your happiness at all? He Yunting was almost by her stubbornness and stupidity.
He Yunyao's face changed, and finally showed a little gloom, and said coldly: "Don't bother my sister, my sister still has something to do, so I'll leave first." β
After speaking, without waiting for He Yunting to speak, he left with someone.
He Yunting was hung in place, her face was pale, and she muttered, "I'm doing this for your good." If you don't listen to me, sooner or later you will regret it, you will definitely regret it. When you are in trouble in the future, don't think about me to save you. β
Thinking of the suffering and suffering he suffered, almost all of them were for his sister and the entire He family, but they didn't understand themselves and blamed themselves.
In that case, why should she care about them? In the future, when she is developed, don't think about touching her light.
September 13 is Qin Shu's birthday.
Over the years, Qin Shu has never held a birthday in a big way, and it is just a simple meal for her family.
What's more, this time, Qin Youan was still fighting outside, and Qin Shu didn't want to toss anymore.
However, Qin Youan still sent someone to send a birthday gift to Qin Shu, as well as a letter written by him to congratulate him on his birthday.
In the letter, he didn't mention Qi Wu's affairs at all, but only said some of his own situation, one is fine, the Red Lotus Army led by Cheng Qiuyu is also good, and the others are auspicious words for celebrating his birthday, as well as regret and self-blame for not being able to accompany his mother to celebrate her birthday.
And the birthday gift he gave to Qin Shu was probably a few boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, ruyi, famous paintings, antiques and other things. In addition, he also deliberately took the time to draw a birthday picture for Qin Shu and a pair of birthday couplets.
Although Qin Youan's painting is not very good, he was an emperor for so many years in his previous life, and he deliberately learned calligraphy and painting from some famous Confucians.
He knew that his mother would definitely like his calligraphy and paintings more than those gold, silver and jewelry, and that this was his true gift.
If he hadn't fought again this time, he would have prepared his mother's birthday gift.
Even at this time last year, they were also fighting, and on their mother's birthday, they were just eating bowls of noodles.
Xiao Ruxuan and others also carefully prepared birthday gifts for Qin Shu, although not all of them were valuable, but they represented
, but it represents their minds, basically some of the embroideries they made by themselves, in the end they represent their minds,
And Aunt Liang gave Qin Shu a pair of double-sided embroidery, one side was embroidered with a birthday picture, and the other was embroidered with a rich peony, which was obviously carefully prepared.
The Liang family is a big family with a deep heritage, and for others, precious and hard-to-find objects are just ordinary to them.
For Aunt Liang, this double-sided embroidery is really nothing.
This time, in fact, Qin Shu celebrated her birthday, not only Xiao Ruxuan's three aunts, but also those concubines in the East Garden, who also came over to kowtow to Qin Shu.
Including Xiao Wang, who has been recuperating from his injuries, and Xin, who is pregnant, they all racked their brains to show their faces in front of Mrs. Tai, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity.
If they can get Mrs. Tai's blue eyes, maybe they will have more opportunities to serve the marshal, and they don't have to continue to stay in the East Garden, where they will have low-ranking concubines.
The filial piety of the generalissimo, even they have heard of it.
Qin Shu also met the grounded Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu was also deliberately lifted today, and came to kowtow to Qin Shu.
When she saw her, Qin Shu couldn't help but be amazed for a moment.
Sure enough, it's a stunning color that contains.
Except for the little girl of the He family she had ever seen, she was the best-looking.
You'an is such a blessing!
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Qin Shu also likes to look at beauties, so she couldn't help but look at her several times, which made others hot.
Of course, Aunt Xin, who was pregnant, also attracted Qin Shu's attention, she kowtowed, and after sitting down for a while, Qin Shu sent someone to send her back.
If you lose the child because of her birthday, it's not worth it.
This birthday is simple, and it is more lively than in the past, after all, there are a lot more people.
After the birthday, the sweet potatoes planted in the experimental field were also harvested, and sure enough, more than ten times better than the seed grain, even Chen Xiuyuan, such a calm person, almost cried with joy, and there was no way to calm down at all, he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and hurriedly informed the generalissimo of the good news.
But anyone who knows about this matter, there is no one who is not ecstatic, except for Qin Shu.
It's just that this matter can't be publicized for the time being, they can only hold it in their hearts and rejoice silently.
One day in late September, Qin Shu was still in the barracks, and suddenly someone from the Shuai's mansion said that Zhou Zhen'er had been picked up from Minzhou.
