Chapter 357: Chief of Staff Xing
The banquet in the evening was set up in Qingshui Tea House, the chefs were the best, and the dishes were all made with Qin Jingxuan and Qin Shaoxiang's favorite food.
Qin Man rarely gave Qin Shaoxiang a dish, but Qin Shaoxiang didn't appreciate it and put it back in Qin Man's bowl.
"I don't want to be as fat as you, big sister, I won't eat anything you like!"
"Where am I fat......" Qin Man gritted his teeth.
"I'm not fat, but I'm panting like a cow, and my voice is very loud, and I almost crushed me to death last time!"
As soon as the two sisters and brothers met, they made a lot of trouble, and the family had long been accustomed to it, and today was a happy day, so they made trouble.
Qin Xiang also wanted to pick up vegetables for Sheng Yanqing, "Second brother-in-law, thanks to your help this time, I thank you for my brother and father." ”
Qin Yu was separated between the two, Qin Xiang's face was full of innocence, her eyes were clean and bright, without a trace of distraction.
Qin Yu didn't say anything, but Sheng Yanqing dodged it, and Qin Xiang's chopsticks fell into the air.
"I have enough dishes in my bowl, give it to your second sister, she loves chicken wings."
"It's fine." Qin Xiang turned in the direction and put the chicken wings into Qin Yu's bowl.
Qin Yu smiled faintly, "Thank you, third sister." ”
She looked at Sheng Yanqing out of the corner of her eye, and praised in her heart, and her son could be taught.
At the dinner table, Zhou Pingzhen invited herself to take credit, "Fortunately, Chief of Staff Xing gave my cousin face and helped say a lot of good things, and my lord was able to get out of prison safely this time, thanks to him." ”
Qin Jingxuan snorted and didn't ask more.
Although he was in prison, he was not blind in his eyes and deaf in his ears. It was the person arranged by Sheng Yanqing who took care of him in prison, and he went to visit him three times and twice, and it was Wang Shijun who delivered food.
And the most important reason why he was able to come out was that Qin Yu helped her clear her of suspicion.
"Where's Fauber's body?" Qin Jingxuan asked.
Qin Yu thought for a moment, she didn't pay attention to this matter, and looked at Sheng Yanqing.
Sheng Yanqing put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I was taken away by the military **, saying that I wanted to check it carefully, and I am still over there." ”
"Well, find a chance to inquire and bury him." Qin Jingxuan said, "Fu Bo has been with me for most of my life, and I didn't have a family, so I made a mistake in the last step. Over the years, he has worked hard without merit. ”
When he said this, Qin Jingxuan's tone suddenly aged a lot. Qin Yu could see that Fu Bo's betrayal was a great blow to his father.
After eating, everyone else left one after another, and Qin Jingxuan stayed until the end.
The banquet was withdrawn, the tea was changed in the box, and Qin Yu and Sheng Yanqing accompanied their father to talk.
Qin Jingxuan said: "How many years, the Qin family's business has not had any stains, and this time the matter is not so simple." ”
The Qin family has backers in the political circles, and they have a rich family background, and those who are idle do not dare to offend the Qin family easily.
Who is willing to take such a big risk, and what does it want to do?
Qin Yu was also thinking about this question, she thought of Zhou Yingxue some time ago.
Similarly, Zhou Yingxue is very reckless, she is so smart, why would she act casually against the norm?
"Dad, you are also new to Tongcheng, I'm afraid that this incident is for me, right?" Qin Yu was a little helpless, "I don't know who is making trouble behind my back, I actually started from the Qin family, this trick is too dark......"
She stuck out her tongue and said in a coquettish tone.
Qin Jingxuan laughed, he patted his daughter on the back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid even if the sky falls." This time we were defenseless, so we should be careful next time. ”
He looked at Sheng Yanqing again, "No matter when this enemy was formed, you kid has to put my daughter in jail, if she loses a hair, I can't spare you." ”
"Yes, father-in-law." Sheng Yanqing smiled and nodded.
Lying in bed at night, Qin Yu thought about what happened again. She has a lot of enemies, the Shen family, and now there is one more Zhou family. This can be counted, and if you can't count it, you don't know.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, Qin Yu really wants to find out this person.
Expose him to the sun, and there will be nowhere to hide.
A few days later, Mrs. Wu from the Ministry of Finance sent an invitation.
She took Qin Yu's hand enthusiastically and said, "You must come, I haven't thanked you for the incident in Pingchuan last time." This time, I'm going to do the east, and I invite you to come and play at home. ”
Banquets are very common social interactions, but Mrs. Wu deliberately added this sentence, which made Qin Yu confused.
The last time it was a bit unseemly, if you really thank you, you can solve it privately, how can you have to hold a banquet with great fanfare?
She looked at Mrs. Wu, her calm gaze was like a calm lake, without a ripple.
"Miss Qin, you're just too smart," Mrs. Wu laughed, "Let's be honest, this banquet is not what I meant. It was Chief of Staff Xing who wanted to invite the Qin family and borrowed such an excuse. ”
"This is not a military quilt that has wronged Mr. Qin, Chief of Staff Xing wants to apologize."
Xing Wenqing is in an important position in the army, his words and deeds represent his position, if he directly holds a banquet to invite the Qin family, he doesn't know what he will think.
Xing Wenqing's caution, Qin Yu expressed her understanding.
She said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Wu, I will tell my father and mother that they will definitely attend the banquet on time when the time comes." ”
The Qin family had just experienced some twists and turns, and just when they needed such an occasion, Qin Jingxuan and Zhou Pingzhen naturally did not refuse.
Coincidentally, Qin Yu also wanted to meet this Chief of Staff Xing for a while.
Before the banquet, Qin Yu did her homework first.
Xing Wenqing is a native of Tongcheng, and unlike Li Ergou, he has studied at a military academy and is a serious soldier.
Li Ergou was originally a bandit, but later with a hundred guns and hundreds of people, the team slowly expanded, and later took Tongcheng.
Xing Wenqing took refuge in Li Ergou at that time, and he has been giving Li Ergou advice and helping him sit in the position of overseer.
With his merits, he was originally firmly in the position of chief of the General Staff, but once he was ambushed, he was seriously injured, one leg was blown off, and he could no longer go to the front.
couldn't give advice by Li Ergou's side, and slowly his position was replaced by someone else, and he became a staff officer in name only.
However, these officials in Tongcheng were very convinced of Xing Wenqing.
Qin Yu had seen Xing Wenqing's photo, so she recognized him at first sight at the banquet.
A thin middle-aged man with a mustache. When he walks, his movements are a little stiff because he is fitted with a prosthetic leg.
Xing Wenqing also looked at the Qin family, and walked over with a wine glass and clinked glasses with Qin Jingxuan.
He said: "I'm really sorry, I was frightened by what happened last time. As soon as I heard the news, I severely reprimanded those people in the Quartermaster Department, and it was no one else, how could they do a black-hearted business in order to save a little cost? ”
"Just find out, I didn't expect that Fauber would betray me." Qin Jingxuan was a little sad.
The two of them drained the cup, and all the previous unhappiness was left behind.
Xing Wenqing is a very good person, since the banquet, he has been dragging a prosthetic leg around to socialize. Whether it is a businessman or a military official, he is neither humble nor arrogant when he gets along with him, and he is at ease.
Qin Yu and Sheng Yanqing were dancing on the dance floor, but the corner of her eyes kept glancing at Xing Wenqing.
