Chapter 18: Face Saint
For several days in a row, Qin Daochuan went out early and returned late, just to avoid He Shiqing. But there is nowhere to go, so I have to soak in the Jia Fang Hall every day.
Ruoshu stayed in the hall every day, just waiting for Lu Sanye to finish purchasing New Year's goods, and then return to Qingzhou.
Lan Xuan muttered that there was a temple fair in the White Horse Temple outside the city these days, and the implication was that she wanted to go. But Aunt Lan didn't allow it, saying that there were too many people and miscellaneous eyes, so as not to cause more trouble.
Ruoshu knew that it was not only her, except for Lan Zhi, the rest were all moved.
Thinking of returning to Qingzhou, she would not be allowed to go out for several months, and if she didn't go out, the movement would not be very big, so she copied a few scriptures and asked Lan Xuan to send them to the White Horse Temple for worship.
Lan Xuan was overjoyed, calling friends and drinking friends, the movement was inevitably bigger, and it was not the time to eat, and it was very quiet downstairs. Qin Daochuan heard the movement above, and knew that Ruoshu and the others hadn't left yet.
felt a little resentful, she was in a thousand difficulties, but she lived a wanton life.
I can't help but think of what she did: she was neat and tidy between trade-offs, quietly transferred property, cheated to death, bargained with him without fear, she had such a scheming at a young age, and she got it as she got older.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to be a husband and wife with her, otherwise, there is a He family here, a Lu family over there, and he probably doesn't need to be a person.
Crisp and clean.
Can he simply reject He Shiqing?
No, he can only take a detour, how to make a detour, he thought about it for a few days, and his head wanted to blow up, but he still hasn't figured it out.
I really hope to return to the Northland, no matter how many dangers he faces on the battlefield, he is not afraid.
He could lie in the snow for three days and three nights in order to win, with snow in his mouth in order not to get hot. When you are hungry, you bite hard as ice, and when you are thirsty, you can grab a handful of snow directly, just wait for the time to win.
In order to take revenge, he could lie under Manlu's bed, watch him rejoice with the woman, and then kill him with a sword when he was most relaxed, and he never sludged it.
Now the Tartars of the Northland call him "the god of killing."
How did he become an indecisive man?
No wonder the ancestors of the Qin family said: only protect the country, not participate in politics.
Should he have decisively rejected He Shiqing and not left her so many reveries.
Now you don't have to face this difficult situation.
No, it won't.
Without He Shiqing, there would be this one upstairs, and with her actions, her life would not be much better.
When Qin Daochuan returned home in the evening and asked his grandmother for peace as usual, the old lady finally asked him why he had been hiding from He Shiqing recently?
Qin Daochuan lowered his head and said no.
The old lady said, "No? People are crying and crying to me, saying that you go out early and return late, and you don't know where you went? ”
Qin Daochuan sighed and told his grandmother what happened.
The old lady shook her head and said, "If I don't ask, how long are you going to hide it from me?" ”
Qin Daochuan bowed his head and was silent.
The old lady continued, "Say that you are young, and you look good at fighting. said that you are old, but your behavior is full of absurdity. ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Daochuan knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to listen to his grandmother's instructions." ”
The old lady said, "I ask you, are you willing or unwilling?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "I don't want to." ”
The old lady asked him again: "Is it because Zu Xun is unwilling, or is it because you yourself are unwilling." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "I don't want to." ”
The old lady said, "Well, you will go to the Holy Tomorrow and ask for the patrol of the Northland." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Grandmother, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'm afraid that the emperor wants me to go, and if I go to face the saint, won't I fall into the net." ”
The old lady said: "If the emperor had such a plan, he would have already made a will, and he would still use you to throw himself into the net?" ”
The light in Qin Daochuan's heart lit up, and he said happily: "Grandmother is saying that the emperor is unwilling?" ”
The old lady said: "Most of the time, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and I can only guess one or two." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Then I will face the saint tomorrow, how should I reply?" ”
The old lady said: "My Qin family has stood for three dynasties, why should you?" ”
Qin Daochuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Sun Er understands, it is the ancestor of the Qin family: only protect the country, not participate in politics." ”
The old lady laughed.
After Qin Daochuan retreated easily, the old lady said to herself: "In the end, who is the opponent of those old foxes." ”
On the second day, after the next dynasty, Qin Daochuan asked to see the emperor.
After coming back, she went straight to Xuanwei Hall, and the old lady saw him with a happy face and glanced at him.
Qin Daochuan didn't care at all, and said to the old lady proudly: "Grandmother, the emperor asked me if I would like to go to Dongjun to quell the chaos, and I said no." The emperor asked why he didn't want to, and I replied that the ancestors of the Qin family did not dare to disobey. The emperor also asked the people of Dongjun why I, as a pillar of the imperial court, did not want to save the people from fire and water, but watched the people struggle for life and death. I replied that the food monarch is responsible for the king's worries, and the Qin family army is responsible for the defense of the north, and he should be the liver and brain of the country; I believe that other colleagues in the DPRK and China will also share the worries of the emperor and die like me. When the emperor heard this, he laughed three times, shook his head, and agreed to let me go to the north to patrol the defense. ”
After listening to this, the old lady said with a smile: "Although this sycophant is shot straightforwardly, it also shows that you are sincere, and it seems that your worries have been solved." ”
Qin Daochuan nodded.
