Chapter 173
As soon as Dong Ling saw Qin Ziqing, he shouted a virtuous brother, and Qin Ziqing, who shouted, only felt goosebumps all over his body.
Qin Ziqing got off the horse, looked at Dong Ling with disgust and said, "It's only been a few months, you are so disgusting." β
Dong Ling laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them walked towards Dong's mansion.
The maid served tea, and the two asked each other about the recent situation, and Qin Ziqing asked impatiently about the incident.
Dong Ling frowned slightly, and his fingers lightly tapped on the teacup.
"I do know that. I also know about the fact that you came to me that day. β
Qin Ziqing confirmed the speculation of the day, but it was an indescribable taste in his heart. straightened his back and waited for Dong Ling to continue.
"I admit that I am not righteous enough for this matter, but I do not regret it."
Dong Ling raised his head and looked at Qin Ziqing.
Even if it happened again, he would still be neutral like this.
After all, his father is still an official of the imperial court, and if he insists on running out to do the so-called justice, it will be against the crown prince. Wouldn't that add to my father's blockage, not to mention, that kind of action is really naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and it won't work at all.
Of course, Qin Ziqing also understands that he doesn't blame him, if it were him, it would be the same. All he wanted to know was the truth of the matter.
"Well," Dong Ling pondered, and seemed a little afraid to say it. "Why did the prince suddenly ask Liu Lingjun for the girl of the Su family, I don't know. But the root must still be in the crown prince. I'm just guessing," Dong Ling sat up straight, lowered his voice and said, "Although His Majesty the Emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, he is old after all. I heard that the crown prince is of average virtue and is not very popular with the emperor. Did the prince and the prince think about entrapping the courtiers for the prince, so he did this. β
Qin Ziqing was confused, "The crown prince and the prince can't go to the Su family if they encircle the courtiers." There is no one in the Su family to be an official, and he is unwilling to marry the official family. This ......"
"You don't understand this?" Dong Ling leaned back in the chair, shook his head and sighed: "Uncle and aunt really raised you stupidly, what do you say you are thinking about every day?" β
Saying that, Dong Ling had a sense of hating iron and not steel. Seeing that Qin Ziqing really didn't understand, he had to say patiently: "One way to win over the courtiers is to get married, but the prince is now in his thirties, and he has three daughters and two sons under his knees." The eldest son is only ten years old this year, married? Who are you marrying? β
"The prince and the prince are looking for their children and grandchildren to get married, and people have to be willing to admit it. Liu Lingjun is not an official, let alone famous, which official in the DPRK is willing to admit it? β
"Besides, this kind of in-law is the easiest to be noticed, but it is not as suitable as the second method."
"The second is naturally to use money. No matter where it is, this money is a good thing. β
Dong Ling said no more, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, felt cold, and put it down. The maids were all sent out, and no one added tea.
Qin Ziqing was still waiting. Seeing that he no longer opened his mouth, he thought for a while and asked, "You mean, they proposed to Su Fu for his family's money?" β
Dong Ling gave him a blank look, do you still need to say this?
In this way, Liu Lingjun should not have known beforehand. used his marriage to exchange the prince's future, and he was just a victim. He didn't say it, because he didn't want to talk about it.
"So, what's going on now?"
After I came back, I kept wondering why, and I didn't bother to ask about the current situation.
"You don't know?" Dong Ling's eyes widened and he shouted.
Qin Ziqing shook his head.
Dong Ling was speechless and nodded at Qin Ziqing in the air.
"The girl of the Su family suddenly ran away from home, and this matter can only be stopped."
"It's just that I pity Brother Lingjun and wants to marry that saltless girl from the Qian family in Qiantang."
"What?" Qin Ziqing stood up.
The Qiantang Qian family has also been in business for generations, and they are also the richest man in one party.
The Qian family's generation also has only one daughter, and she is eighteen years old this year. I heard that it was because of his ugly appearance and he has never married.
The Qian family is rich and noble, and even if the daughter is ugly, some people ask to marry, and they don't worry about marrying a daughter. But they look down on the small family, and they are afraid that they will not be able to keep their family business. The portal is slightly easier to write, and people think that the daughter of the Qian family is too ugly, and it will be like selling their children and grandchildren in the future. This has been delayed ever since.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't marry the Su family, so he went to find the Qian family.
No wonder.
Qin Ziqing remembered the sadness in Liu Lingjun's eyes.
How can there be so many entanglements in this world?
Qin Ziqing's heart trembled, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable.
Dong Ling saw that he was uncomfortable, got up and patted him on the shoulder.
"I know that the two of you have a good relationship, and a character like Liu Lingjun is suddenly trapped like this, even those of us who he can't look down on for a long time still feel uncomfortable, let alone you. But now that the situation is settled, it's just sad. β
"What has come of it now?"
"The Liu family is in a hurry, and it is all like a horse to ask for something like a horse, and now the date has been booked, and they are waiting for the bride to enter the door."
It turned out to be so fast.
"What day is it?"
"The eighth day of next month." Dong Ling counted the days, "There are less than twenty days left." β
Sure enough, it was urgent.
Qin Ziqing got up and was about to leave, but Dong Ling hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Why are you going?" β
"I," Qin Ziqing choked, yes, why did he go? Fang just said those hurtful words regardless of it, what is he going to do now? Apologize? Does an apology work?
Qin Ziqing sat down and was silent without speaking.
Things have come to this point, no wonder Dong Ling no longer avoids himself at all.
However, mother, such a big thing should have been known to mother. Then why do you still hold such a grudge against Su Yingxue?
No, things aren't right.
Qin Ziqing couldn't figure it out.
"Do you know what happened to our house that day when the prefect was embarrassed?" Qin Ziqing asked suddenly.
Dong Ling shook his head, "What are you doing in the house when Governor Fang is embarrassed?" When did it happen? Why haven't I heard you say that? β
"You don't know?" Is there anything Dong Ling doesn't know?
Dong Ling still shook his head. After thinking about it, he said: "I really don't know much about business, but if it's really a big deal, even if I don't know, my father knows it." He embarrassed you, isn't it so symbolically embarrassed? As he spoke, Dong Ling pinched his little finger.
Mother didn't tell the truth, she lied to herself.
As soon as this thought broke into Qin Ziqing's heart, he couldn't help but freeze.
Sure enough, he still bullied him like a child.
He glanced at Dong Ling, what was the difference between himself and him, and even with his sister Dong Wan?
It's also yourself, it's too easy to be credulous. Although that person is his own mother.
Wonderful!
