Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan and his wife had no relatives and friends, only Xiao Xiao and his wife and two children came.

Someone added longan to enter, and Wen Po said: "The little boy Wenqu Xing is reincarnated, and he is even in the middle of the three yuan." ”

Someone added lotus seeds, and Wen Po immediately said: "Even give birth to a noble son." ”

Qin Yining didn't care that the gold and silver added to the pot were all for Wen Po, all the silver coins and gold melon seeds were added to the champion and the first, Wen Po's eyes lit up, and even her voice was much higher pitched when she said auspicious words.

After adding the basin, Wen Po gave Yan Ge'er a bath, and the baby's soft and white skin was touched by Wen Po's rough hand dipped in water, and immediately cried.

Wen Po also laughed loudly: "Ring the pot! Ringing pots! Good luck! Good luck! ”

After a set of procedures, Brother Yan'er's crying little face turned red, and when Wen Po and the old mother took out the sacrificial paper money and burned it, and packed up the yellow and white things, Qiu Feishan hurriedly urged Mu Jinghu to hold the child to her.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao took Brother Zhao and Brother Han to say goodbye.

On the way back, the two discussed, and when they got home, Qin Yining wrote a letter to Liao Zhibing, handing over the matter of finding out the news of Huichuan County to him.

He ordered someone to hand over the letter to Zhong Da's shopkeeper, and when he turned around, he arranged for someone to pick up Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi to come to the mansion.

In the evening, the study room in the outer courtyard is brightly lit.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi sat in the hall one step earlier and waited, and with the sound of footsteps outside the door from far and near, they both hurriedly stood up.

The curtain cage was raised, and Qin Huai was led into the door first.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi respectfully swept the floor.

"I've seen Gong Qin."

Qin Huaiyuan returned the salute humbly, "The two gentlemen can't be so polite, they are not cabinet ministers, and they can't afford to be called this title." ”

"Deserved, deserved. Qin Gong has the world in mind and is resourceful, and he deserves this title. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and invited Qin Huaiyuan to take a seat, "Father-in-law, please take a seat." ”

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and bowed his head, turned around and invited everyone to take a seat.

Qin Yining stood behind Qin Huaiyuan and Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao said: "I invited my father-in-law and two gentlemen to come today to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing. ”

Qin Huaiyuan sighed lightly when he heard this, and under the light, a pair of eyes that seemed to see through the world looked at Xiao Xiao gently.

"Have you already decided?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, "Father-in-law, I think you all know the situation and thoughts of me and Sister Yi. There is no way back. ”

Where did Qin Huaiyuan not understand the difficulties in this? It's just that in his heart, he still hopes that his children can stay away from danger.

But reality often doesn't work the way it is.

"That's it. I wanted to keep you out of the strife, but at this point, there really is no other choice. Qin Huaiyuan looked at Xiao Xiao, his voice was gentle, but there was a little more sharpness between his eyebrows, which had always been wise.

"Zhixi, now that you have made a decision, you must have already thought about the future path. Since you don't plan to avoid its edge, you have to rise to the challenge. Since you can't bear it and can't escape, what you have to do next is to completely remove the mountain that is pressing on your heads, otherwise you will have no place to bury. ”

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were still guessing what kind of valuable advice Qin Huaiyuan would give them, but no matter how they planned, they should not be able to get rid of the confinement of the status of a monarch and a minister.

Everyone knows what the mountain is that weighs on the head of the owl.

Qin Huaiyuan is right, once he chooses to face the imperial power, what he has to do is probably more difficult than overturning the mountains.

Xiao Xiao tilted his head and smiled, "I understand what my father-in-law said." ”

Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "You don't have to have too much pressure, I know that you care about the safety of the people, otherwise you will have countless opportunities to point a sword at that person over the years." You don't think about the war, but you're forced to do a lot of it.

"There are always many things in this world that are helpless. Sometimes you think things can be planned and calculated, but do you know that your plan is not an inevitable destiny of God?

"People seem to be pushed forward by fate in this life, just like when I was Bao Dayan, I used a counter-plot against the Northern Ji Kingdom; Just like your biological father was jealous of the imperial court back then, the Northern Hebei Emperor took advantage of the situation to eradicate dissidents.

"Your situation now is just like that of your father back then: brilliant military achievements, fame, and high achievements are not enough to describe the pressure you are causing to the present day.

"You are a smart child, since you have chosen to return to Beijing, you have already thought through it, and you have decided, and there is no chance to regret it. You have made a decision now, once you regret it in the future, it will be Sister Yi'er who will be buried with you, as well as all the people under your command who trust you and are willing to follow you. ”

Qin Huaiyuan's words were extremely serious, although they were a little verbose, but they were all from his heart.

Xiao Xiao was able to understand Qin Huaiyuan's thoughts, and he also understood what he wanted to express in his seemingly unfocused words.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, I know what I want and what I have to do. At the end of the day, I'm not a noble and selfless person. As Sister Yi once said to me, there is no right or wrong in this world. People stand differently from person to person. It's right that he did his best to hide his position, and it's not wrong for me to fight against oppression for the sake of all the people around me to survive, it's just that my position is different, and no one has to be noble. ”

Qin Huaiyuan, Xie Yue, and Xu Weizhi all looked at Qin Yining when they heard this.

Qin Yining smiled slightly, "Father, rest assured, although the situation is tense, it will not be the time to die, this time I will return to Beijing, I am worried that the Holy Lord will find an excuse to impeach the prince, and then the hat of resistance will be buckled, and the previous things will be punished together, I am afraid that it will be moved to the root." ”

Qin Huaiyuan bowed his head and said with a smile: "Since you can bring it up, you have some ideas, you can talk about it." ”

Qin Huaiyuan's tone reminded Qin Yining that when she was not out of the cabinet, she often chatted with her father in the study, and her father would patiently teach her, whether it was the way to get along with people in the inner house or the disadvantages of needlework, she could always get the best answer from her father.

Qin Yining smiled crookedly, "Is the father going to test his daughter?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan obviously also remembered those years, and couldn't help but smile more and more gently, "Tell me, take out the idea and discuss it." ”

"With my father and two gentlemen here, I threw bricks and bricks to talk about my thoughts, and everyone discussed them together."

Qin Yining pondered for a moment and said, "I mean, before arriving in the capital this time, you need to do two things, the first is to find chips, and the second is to build momentum, I will first say that this momentum ......"

There was silence in the study, Qin Yining's voice was not high, but the words were like beads falling on a jade plate, which was clearly audible. Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue listened, their bodies couldn't help but lean forward, their eyes were full of contemplation, and their essence gradually flickered.

Qin Huaiyuan stroked his beard with one hand, with a slight smile on his face.

Xiao Xiao looked back at Qin Yining's appearance of looking forward to Shenfei when he was talking, and his admiration and affection couldn't be hidden at all.

After Qin Yining explained the plan in detail, Xu Weizhi first stroked his palm and said: "The princess is thoughtful, she really deserves to be the bloodline of the Duke of Qin, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a female Zhuge ." ”

Xie Yue also said: "This method is feasible, although it is a bit risky, but this time when we go back, we have to face danger, let's walk in the bright place, and the saint must cherish the feathers, naturally it will not be more troublesome than being outside." ”

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, "The old man also has a few ideas, you should pay attention when you arrive in the capital." ”

Qin Huai slowly explained all the possible accidents that he thought of, as well as the solutions to those situations.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi listened, occasionally asking or adding, after several people discussed, although the future was bleak, but they already had the bottom in their hearts.

At least, they now have a general direction, so they won't be blinded.

After agreeing on something, Xiao Xiao respectfully asked about the day of Qin Huaiyuan's departure.

Qin Huaiyuan sighed: "Naturally, the sooner the better. It's just the last few days. Although you can communicate in the future, but in the end, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and you will have to rely on your own road in the future. ”

Standing up, Qin Huaiyuan bowed his hand to Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, "In the future, I will have to rely on the two gentlemen." The old decay is here to ask the two of you. ”

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi hurriedly avoided it, and returned the salute respectfully, "Qin Weng Xiu wants to be like this, both of us are the staff of the prince, and it is within the scope of the matter to give advice to the prince, not to mention that the prince has always treated the two of us sincerely and trustingly, and it is the luck of the two of us to be able to follow the prince in this life, how can I afford this gift from the prince of Qin." ”

"The old man is a father, and both of them are their elders, so they can naturally afford it." Qin Huaiyuan saluted again.

The two sides saluted each other, and the scene was a little funny, but more than that, it was moving.

Qin Yining really realized at this time that she and Qin Huaiyuan might not have a chance to see each other again after this farewell.

Not only Qin Huaiyuan, but also her mother, her relatives, and her children......

If this fails, she and Xiao Xiao will be buried in the mountains and rivers, and her family will have to live in that oasis in the desert.

"Father."

Qin Yining made a detour to the front, lifted his skirt and knelt on his knees, and kowtowed.

Xiao Xiao also knelt down side by side with Qin Yining and made a big salute.

"Father, my daughter is not filial, I can't let you worry, I can't accept joy, but it will also take you away from your homeland, and it is difficult to return to your home, but also let you bear the fate of the entire family, and let you help take care of the children......" Qin Yining's tears fell, "My daughter is ashamed, if I have a chance, I may not be able to repay my father in this life, and I hope that my father will take care, add more meals, increase or decrease clothes, take care of myself, and hope that my father will enjoy this life and no more trouble." ”

Qin Yining said, kowtowing heavily.

He also followed with a kowtow.

When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, tears rolled in his eyes, but they never fell, and he supported Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao with both hands: "Good boy, my father knows your difficulties, and things may not be as bad as you think." You can rest assured, the father at home will take care of him, and Brother Zhao and Brother Han will also teach with their hearts. You just have to go out and do things without worry. ”
