Chapter 1 The Righteous Relatives of the Qin Mansion
"Catch them, catch them quickly, don't let them run."
In the forest at night, a group of men and horses held torches and kept chasing the two people, and the two people who were being chased were fleeing with all their strength at this time. One of the two is a weak scholar in a green shirt, and the other is a young lady in a gorgeous dress. Behind them was a troop of men chasing after them.
The terrain in the mountains and forests was uneven, not to mention that there were people chasing behind them at night, and these two people were embarrassed. Although the two people under the embarrassment reported their hope to escape, how could the team of people behind them be thrown off by these weak two. Under the incessant pursuit, the two men finally ordered someone to intercept the way, and the guard with the torch cut off all the escape routes of the two men, and the two men still held hands under this siege.
The family members who surrounded it, the firelight illuminated the two people who had escaped, and the originally luxurious and delicate people were already in a mess at this time, glaring angrily at the family members who surrounded them. Just as she glared, a path awayed among the family, and out of it came a man who looked like a steward.
The man walked up to the embarrassed young lady, made a gesture, and then said, "Miss, my lord, I ordered Miss to wait with me to go back." ”
Although the words of the subordinate who stepped forward were respectful, but there was a firmness in the words, and when the housekeeper-like person came out, the young lady's body trembled unnaturally, obviously she was scared in her heart, but she was also firm under the fright. Gritting her teeth and looking directly at the person in charge, the young lady replied.
"What if I don't?"
"Please miss, don't embarrass me."
did not answer clearly, but said such a sentence, and the person in charge met the angry glare of the young lady without fear, and after looking at each other like this, the person in charge took the first step to withdraw his gaze. After looking directly at the staggered eyes, he raised his hand, made a slight move, and the family behind him immediately stepped forward.
Looking at the young lady who was still resisting, the person in charge who stood behind everyone said: "Miss, please don't blame me, the adults have instructions, if the young lady refuses to go back to the house obediently, even if she is tied up, she has to tie the young lady back, and I hope the young lady will forgive me." ”
This life is under the master's family, even if the young lady opposite is Jingui, he can't leave half of his face, and he is indifferent to the deterrence of this young lady, and the person in charge is just doing what the master's family orders. The scholar and the young lady are originally noble people, and they are the opponents of this family, although the two are desperately struggling, they are helpless, and finally they are tied up.
The young lady, who was still restless after being tied, also gave the person in charge a headache, but she was helpless, so she just ordered to take the two people back to the house. However, before returning home, the person in charge still couldn't bear to sigh softly, looked at his own lady and said.
"Miss, how could it be that you said that if you don't admit your fate, you won't accept your fate, you still, accept your fate."
In the Qin Mansion, the young lady of the Qin family, who had escaped with someone, and the scholar had asked the family to bring them back, and they were kneeling on the main hall at this time, and there were two people sitting in the main seat above the main hall. On the left sat a man, dressed in a dark purple round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, covered with a slightly darker placket and half arms, embroidered with large clusters of fine bamboo, and his head and waist tied with green jade sitting angrily. On the right side, there is a woman, dressed in an indigo cross-collared Confucian dress with dark embroidered ink chrysanthemum, wearing a pomegranate red skirt and a scarlet coat. Holding Yunpa, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then looking at the kneeling person in the hall, Xu touched the pain in his heart again, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down again.
And the person kneeling under the hall is the Miss Qin family and the scholar who escaped hand in hand, although they have been captured by the family, but the young lady has no remorse and admits her mistake, but stands on her knees and lies down and looks directly at her father, after staring at each other for a long time, the person in the hall finally couldn't restrain himself and slapped the table heavily. Looking at the woman who had no remorse under the retake, Qin Tianhao said angrily.
"Okay, you're a rebel."
This angry remark made Mrs. Qin on the side frightened, worried that her husband would be angry with her daughter, Mrs. Qin immediately got up and then knelt down with her daughter, looked at Qin Tianhao in the hall and cried: "Qin Lang, if Jing Ruo is not disobedient to you, Qin Lang should not be angry." Kneeling down and first caressed, then he looked at Qin Jingruo and said, "You kid is not ready to admit your mistakes." ”
It was a big mistake to run away with someone, and Mrs. Qin didn't know that she couldn't protect it, so she asked Qin Jingruo to admit it quickly, who would have thought that her daughter had no regrets, and said, "I'm not wrong." ”
These words made Qin Tianhao even more angry, and he stood up directly from his position and said, "You rebellious girl, you are still saying that there is nothing wrong with it. The election is imminent, you have run away with others, and you have said that you are not wrong for such a big rebellion. ”
It was already an irrepressible anger, and Qin Tianhao almost bit the words. This made Qin Jingruo silent, but after being silent for a while, she still gritted her teeth and replied firmly: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to be drafted, and she doesn't want to enter the palace." ”
"Do you think that the palace is something you can enter if you say you can enter, and if you don't enter, you can't enter?" Qin Jingruo's words made the father feel extremely ridiculous, although he said it with a smile, but the anger under the words was increasing. Qin Tianhao was already angry in his heart, and Mrs. Qin couldn't stop signaling to Qin Jingruo, but this daughter's temperament was not like herself at all, so instead of stopping, she said every word.
"I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to go to the land of jackals, have you forgotten, father? What happened to the aunt who entered the palace that year? Father, I don't want to end up like my aunt ......."
"Rebel girl, shut up."
was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, because this rebellious woman's words were too rebellious, Qin Tianhao, who was angry, directly threw the teacup on the table in front of her, and the splash almost hurt Qin Jingruo, so frightened that her face turned pale but she still refused to change her words. Still gritting her teeth like that, Qin Jingruo said: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace. ”
"How can it be up to you to enter the palace or not, do you think this is your preference? This is about the glory of my Qin clan. Looking at Qin Jingruo with a hateful girl, Qin Tianhao suddenly shouted: "Come on, take the young lady back to the room and take care of it, and you are not allowed to step out of the door half a step before the show." As for this thief......" After a pause, he turned to look at the scholar who was kneeling on the ground without making a sound, Qin Tianhao said, "Give me a beating with a cane and drive me out of Beijing." ”
Qin Tianhao's cane beating is not just as simple as a simple beating, the family on the side is about to step forward when he gets the order, and the scholar has already called Qin Shangshu's majesty so shocked that he didn't dare to speak, and at this time, seeing that Qin Tianhao was going to do it to himself, he even fell to the ground and begged for mercy and said: "Lord Shangshu spare his life, Lord Shangshu spare his life." ”
The words of begging for mercy could not make Qin Tianhao soften his heart, but it hurt the Miss Qin family, and he immediately didn't care about the family who wanted to take him down on the side, and broke free to intercede for the scholar, but these two people had already violated Qin Tianhao's bottom line. After begging to no avail, seeing that the scholar was about to ask his father to take him down, Qin Jingruo broke free violently, then picked up the broken tea bowl on the ground, and pushed the fragments of the tea bowl against his neck, Qin Jingruo threatened.
"Father, please let go of Lin Lang."
I didn't expect her to be like this, Qin Tianhao was also stunned, looking at his daughter in disbelief, Qin Tianhao said: "You dare to threaten me for this man." Looking at it in disbelief, that kind of gaze made Qin Jingruo feel a little frightened, but she still said firmly: "Ask my father to let Lin Lang go." ”
was already so angry that his face turned pale, he glared at Qin Jingruo, the father and daughter looked at each other and saw that the fragments of the tea bowl had been cut into the skin, Qin Tianhao suddenly shouted: "Beat this person to death and throw him in a mass grave on the outskirts of the city, as for Miss." Looking at his daughter who threatened him with her life, Qin Tianhao said word by word: "Invite the doctor in the house." The words were heavy, and Qin Tianhao said: "I want to see if she can really seek death." ”
Lin Lang's life can't be saved, and his fate is probably decided, looking at the mother who almost fainted from crying, looking at the father who has made up his mind, Qin Jingruo suddenly smiled. A little ridicule and a little despair, Qin Jingruo looked at her father and smiled: "Father, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial, the daughter of the jackal land in the palace is really scared, and the daughter doesn't want to end up like her aunt, so ......"
Before she finished speaking, she just looked at it in despair, the broken tea bowl in her hand slowly moved from her neck to her cheek, and before everyone understood what she wanted, Qin Jingruo's hand slid down heavily. A bloody cut appeared on his face, and bright red drips were dripping on his clothes.
She can't escape, no matter what, she can't escape, even if she is afraid of death, she will ask her father to save her. In this case, it is better to ruin this face, without this appearance, she will not believe it, and her father can still send herself to the palace to participate in the show.
No one would have thought that Qin Jingruo would do such a thing, Qin Tianhao and his wife were frozen, and after being stunned for a while, the angry voice of Lord Shangshu came from the Shangshu Mansion.
"Shut me up in my room, and no one will see her."
The four-year round of show girls participated in the election, and finally waited for her daughter to grow up, and she wanted to be sent to the palace to win a harem to help glorify the family, but who knew that she had raised such a rebel girl who didn't know what to do. Thinking of his uncompetitive daughter, Qin Tianhao was annoyed, and he was thinking about countermeasures in the study at this time.
If the previous dynasty wants to gain power, it is not enough to be alone, and there must be someone in this harem who can speak, and the way of being an official for many years is that he understands the truth of this. But now it's okay, the bureau that has been laid out for so long has ruined his own daughter, how can Qin Tianhao swallow this breath. Angry enough to sweep everything off the table, Qin Tianhao said angrily.
"Our Qin family has really created evil, and we have given birth to such an unfilial rebel girl. Now it's okay, the show period is coming, and the girl's face has become that again, and this year's show selection is afraid to depend on the person's scenery. ”
Not thinking of this, Qin Tianhao felt even more headache, and just as he was speaking angrily, another person in the room spoke prominently: "My lord, I'm afraid that not only is there no hope for this year's draft, but I am afraid that there will be no hope in the future." ”
Qin Jingruo was not soft at all, and it was inevitable that there would be a scar on such a face. With a face with a scar, how could he have the face to send it to the palace, he just understood it, so he felt even more annoyed.
Every step is accurate, how come there is such a fork in this last step.
Even though Qin Tianhao was full of thoughts, he couldn't think of a way at this time, but the person in his room proposed a feasible plan on the spot. Not as anxious as Qin Tianhao, the man said unhurriedly: "Although Miss's appearance has been ruined, it is not that there is no other way. ”
"Oh? Could it be that the king's steward has other plans? Hurriedly asked, Steward Wang nodded and replied: "My lord, Wang Han has a plan here, that is, ......" The words paused slightly, making Qin Tianhao inevitably anxiously said: "What is it." ”
Because the lord urged the king steward to speak, and bowed slightly, the king steward said, "Since this young lady's appearance can't come back, why don't you let the second young lady go?" ”
"Second Miss?" This is strange, I don't know what the idea of the king steward, Qin Tianhao asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by this second young lady?" Steward Wang said: "Half a month ago, when I went to the street, I happened to buy a girl who sold herself to bury my father, because my family could not live on the streets, and I had no money to bury my father and had to sell myself as a slave. Although he is now a slave, he is born with a good appearance, and his appearance is not inferior to that of the young lady, but even has an indescribable romantic posture. My lord, it's not that I'm too talkative, it's just that Miss's temperament is useless even if she really enters the palace, and it's a big deal to find a second lady and save a lot of trouble. ”
Steward Wang's words made Qin Tianhao's heart have more thoughts, and after a pause, Qin Tianhao said: "I understand what you mean, but what is the reason for me, the second lady of the Qin Mansion?" Confused and asked, but heard the king steward smile and said: "Our second lady of the Qin Mansion has been weak since she was a child, and her eight characters are too light, and she is a person who is very Buddha-like, and a senior monk once said that if you want to support her, you must be fostered in that remote nunnery and raised it for more than ten years to survive this fate." It's just right now, the eldest lady accidentally hurt her appearance again, and it's not a matter of saying that she can replace these two young ladies, anyway, these two young ladies are also your daughters, as long as the eight characters match, this gift will be hired into the palace. ”
Steward Wang's method is indeed good, and he immediately asked Qin Tianhao to agree, nodded in response, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Although the method is excellent, but the girl who bought the mansion can make it?" ”
"Your Excellency, don't worry, that girl was personally seen by me, she must have been born well, and she was born gentle and elegant. As for this entry into the palace, entering the palace to become His Majesty's concubine is a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations, even if it is not for repaying the favor, it is good for yourself. Don't worry, adult, that's also a pretty smart girl, I think she understands the cause and effect. ”
"That's good." Nodding in response, Qin Tianhao said: "The show period is approaching, you will do this matter for me, as for the affairs in this palace, I think you understand." Under the command, the steward nodded and said: "I understand the instructions of the lord, about the matter of the second young lady, the Qin Mansion must be of the same caliber, and there is no other rhetoric, even if it is in the nunnery, it must have raised our young lady." ”
"In that case, so be it." Nodding again, he sighed and said: "What a rebel girl, if it weren't for her, how could she be so troublesome, the king is fortunate to have you, otherwise I really can't think of any other way for a while." ”
Qin Tianhao's voice fell and Wang Han replied: "Wang Han's life was saved by you, if it weren't for you, I am afraid that Wang Han would have died a long time ago, and my lord's words are serious." He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look directly at Qin Tianhao, and these words also made Qin Tianhao reply: "What I just said is the truth, and it is not serious, but this matter is really important, you have to do it." ”
"Yes."
After doing so, they retreated, and they should be quick to do something so important, for they all knew it.
The importance of this time.
