Chapter 19 - To each his own place
"Uncle Qiu, I wanted to tell you when I visited tomorrow, but I happened to be here today, and my family was here, so I would ask you for instructions in advance." Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan handed a letter to Qiu Zeyuan.
Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly looked at it and said: "Since your sister wants to come, let her come, it just so happens that there are so many empty rooms in the post house where you stay, you personally pick one for your sister, what do you need to ......buy" Qiu Zeyuan's afterglow quickly swept over Qiu Yiyou, and saw that she didn't react, so he continued: "You just take Youyou to buy, it costs ......"
Qiu Yiyou hurriedly said, "Father, where will I buy anything?" It's better to let Yuqing ......"
Qiu Yiyou listened to her father's words and wanted her and Bai Qiaoxuan to go out alone, and she was a little reluctant, she wanted to say that she would let Yuqing go for her, but she looked at Tong Yuqing's admonishing eyes on the left, and at the disappointed eyes of her father and Bai Qiaoxuan on the right, and changed "for" to "accompany".
In this way, both Qiu Zeyuan and Bai Qiaoxuan are very satisfied with this result. They didn't expect Qiu Yiyou to really do anything, they just hoped that she could have a proper attitude.
But for some reason, Qiu Linghe suddenly opened his mouth to break this harmonious situation, "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right?" β
This sentence attracted the attention of everyone present to Qiu Linghe's body, and Qiu Zeyuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" β
Qiu Linghe slowly put down the tableware and said methodically: "It stands to reason that Yoyo is Qiao Xuan's fiancΓ©e. At the beginning, because Youyou was sick, she asked Yuqing to pick up Qiao Xuan on her behalf. Now that Youyou is good, she just buys some furnishings, and she still receives her future sister-in-law, why do you want to pull Yuqing? What is Yuqing sandwiched between them? Doesn't she need to go to work? β
From the moment Qiu Linghe spoke, Tong Yuqing kept giving him a look, but he pretended not to see anything, and the more he talked, the more inappropriate it became.
Qiu Lingwei was worried about how to save his image in Qiu Zeyuan's eyes, but he didn't expect Qiu Linghe to be so brainless that he dared to confront Qiu Zeyuan in front of him, and insinuated that Qiu Yiyou was incompetent. As if he had received the treasure, he immediately took over the conversation, "Ling He, what do you mean by that?" Are you questioning your father's decision? Before you became in power, you didn't take your father seriously, and you will be able to return it when you take power in the future? Why don't you ask your father for sin? β
Qiu Linghe said nothing with a calm face, Tong Fengyi saw that the signs were wrong and just waited to speak and mediate, Qiu Zeyuan signaled him not to speak, and asked Qiu Linghe, "Linghe, you also know that Youyou has never dealt with anything alone, but a guest came and asked Yuqing to accompany him to the reception, and it's not a big deal, you drank a little too much today, right?" β
Any sensible person should walk down the steps he took before Qiu Zeyuan was really angry, but Qiu Linghe was not wise tonight, he saw that the ladder not only did not want to go down it, but also wanted to kick it over.
"Father, I'm sober, I've never been so sober. I can understand that you love your daughter, and there is no father who does not love his daughter......"
Tong Fengyi and Dai Wei looked at Qiu Zeyuan one after another, and sure enough, although Qiu Zeyuan's face did not change at all, the fist he hid under the table became tighter and tighter.
Tong Fengyi shouted: "Shut up! β
"Feng Yi, let him say, I want to hear what he can say today!" Qiu Zeyuan suppressed his anger and said coldly.
Qiu Linghe pulled his tie, and he was not afraid, "Everything has to have a degree, right?" Yoyo is sixteen this year, which is not small, you have already set her up to marry, but she can't even take care of her daily life, and she can't even take care of housework that a woman should know at the very least. Do you want to hold her in the palm of your hand for the rest of your life and never let her land? If you want that, then why do you want to help her get married? Do you want Bai Qiaoxuan to obey her for the rest of her life like you? Dragging him down for the rest of his life? Or do you want Yuqing to stay by her side forever, in addition to working hard for the financial secretary, but also to take care of your daughter's food, clothing, shelter and transportation like a servant? Too much, right? Why should I, Qiu Lingxuan, Bai Qiaoxuan, and Tong Yuqing do their best for the overall situation of Pudong and the great cause of the Yuanjun, and they must be worthy of the ancestral foundation, and they must be worthy of the people of Limin, Xiao Yuhao is only ten years old and let him face the dangerous situation of investigating the traitor alone, and she Qiu Yiyou can do nothing, and everything will be at her fingertips. Is it because she's the Overseer's daughter? β
"Qiu Linghe, how I treat my daughter is my business, you are not qualified to beak. If you don't want to worry about labor, you can go back where you came from. Our Qiu family does not have descendants like you who don't know how to advance and retreat, and don't know what to do. After Qiu Zeyuan finished speaking, he motioned to the two personal lieutenants to pull Qiu Linghe out.
Qiu Linghe struggled to break free from the shackles of the two, "I'll go to the front line of Pujiang today, whether I am a descendant of the Qiu family or not, it's not up to you to decide!" β
Emotionally, Tong Yuqing wanted to chase Qiu Linghe and persuade him to turn back, but she was sensible and sober enough to tell her that there was no proper reason to go back to protect Qiu Linghe at this time, and the bell must be tied to the bell.
A scene where the family was happy couldn't go on anymore because of Qiu Linghe's words, Qiu Zeyuan dismissed everyone, asked Dai Yi to take good care of Qiu Yiyou, don't let her think too much, and called Tong Fengyi to the study alone.
"Are you really going to give up on Linghyuk?" Tong Fengyi looked at Qiu Zeyuan's still gloomy face and asked.
Qiu Zeyuan drank a full glass of water, calmed down for a long time, and then asked, "What do you think?" β
Tong Fengyi sighed, "I don't dare to guess the mind of Lord Overseer at will, what if I guess wrong and be kicked out of Yejin?" I'm not like Ling He, I can't live without Yejin. β
Qiu Zeyuan casually threw an apple to him, and said angrily: "Go and go, roll as far as you want." β
Tong Fengyi grinned and caught the apple, sat on the sofa and took a big bite. I remembered what his father said to him when he was alive, the reason why the Qiu Tong family and the two families were able to walk hand in hand for nearly a hundred years in the stormy Puxin Prefecture was because the successive overseers of the Qiu family not only regarded the Tong family as an auxiliary minister, but also regarded the Tong family as a relative and close friend, and the ancestor of the Qiu family Qiu Sheng made an oath never to doubt the Tong family, and warned future generations to pass it on from generation to generation. The last words of Tong Le, the ancestor of the Tong family, are to ask the descendants of the Tong family to be loyal to the Qiu family from generation to generation, regard the Qiu family as a friend, and never rebel against each other. It is not difficult for the ancestors to leave a legacy, but the difficulty lies in how the successors of the Qiu Tong family can absolutely trust each other and never abandon each other no matter what circumstances they face. My father said that he and Uncle Qiu did not agree on everything, but they were able to support each other for 30 years because they both recognized their place. No matter how different their opinions are, the final decision must be made by Uncle Qiu himself, and even if the final plan is not satisfactory to his father, he will absolutely obey Uncle Qiu's instructions. Qiu's Yu Tong was first the lord and then a friend. Qiu must also give Tong the respect and power he deserves, no matter how much Uncle Qiu disagrees with his father's opinion, he must argue his father's opinion with reason, as long as there is one point that he cannot convince his father, he must continue to change until he truly convinces his father, or wins his father's concessions. Tong was first a friend of the Qiu family, and then an auxiliary minister. Only when the incumbents of the Qiu Tong family put themselves in the right position, their status in Pudong will never change.
Tong Fengyi didn't know what his father meant when he was young, at that time, he only felt that he would never have a disagreement with his good brother, and he didn't need to use power to maintain the friendship between them. But as time passed, more and more people and things were mixed between them, and he and Zeyuan both clearly realized that their relationship had always been flowers in a greenhouse, which needed to be carefully maintained. They are also becoming more and more aware that every word of their father's teachings has a sea of vicissitudes behind them.
Now in the matter of Qiu Linghe, Tong Fengyi must not express any opinion before Qiu Zeyuan clearly states his attitude, first, the issue of heir is always a sensitive topic, and he cannot and should not have any bias. Second, Tong Baiyi has just made a big mistake, although this is not directly related to him, but Tong Baiyi is connected to his own blood after all, and he cannot escape the blame. Thirdly, whether Qiu Zeyuan lets go of Qiu Linghe or not, it makes sense, and there are pros and cons to each other. So no matter what decision Qiu Zeyuan makes, he will support it.
Qiu Ze saw that Tong Fengyi had been eating apples seriously, and he also guessed a thing or two about what he was thinking, so he slowly made a pot of tea and said: "Ling Ji is rigorous in handling things, and he has always been as stable and calm as Mount Tai at critical moments, and he has also made great achievements in the past few years in the Garrison Department, but he is too easy to be swayed by others, and it can be seen from this time that he was easily co-opted by Bai Yi." Lu Tiansheng made an empty promise to him, and he dared to betray his ancestors and forget his ancestors, which also shows that he is unclear and unfamiliar. And you see that he can't wait for Ling He's virtue to fall into the well today, and he has a villainous face from beginning to end. It may be okay for such a person to be the director of the garrison, but let him be the overseer of the commanding side, and the command and leadership will not fall into the hands of others? If others are loyal to him, it is fine, but if it is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, then the Qiu clan will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. β
Tong Fengyi looked at Qiu Zeyuan seriously, picked up another apple and ate it, only saying "um" loudly.
"As for Ling He...... Although he is reckless by nature, impetuous, and sometimes does things without regard for the end, he dares to take responsibility, whether it is right or wrong, and has his own opinions on everything. Although he is against me today, I know in my heart that he is right about things and not people, and he is looking for a rational word. Moreover, in the past few years in the army, he has made a lot of military achievements, and there is no shortage of praise for him from all over the army. β
Qiu Zeyuan looked at Tong Fengyi when he said this, drank the tea and stopped talking, Tong Fengyi put down the apple with a smile, "When I was a child, Mr. Guowen ......"
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, and glanced at Qiu Zeyuan's expression, but he didn't expect Qiu Zeyuan to look at him in confusion, not understanding why he stopped at the beginning of his speech, and after the two looked at each other, Qiu Zeyuan realized what Tong Fengyi was thinking......
