"Master, why didn't you agree to Lord Ouyang?" Lin looked at Shangshu who came back and looked at him angrily.

Shang Shu shook his head and said, "What do you know about this woman?" ”

"Sir. What do I not understand, if my daughter becomes the emperor's person, won't there be someone in our Shangshu Mansion in the palace? Everything will be easy to do, and besides, if our daughter becomes the mother of the country, we 、、、."

Before Lin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shang Shu, "Mother of the country, are you joking, who in this Qi country doesn't know what the emperor loves today, the concubine of the Qin family, so the queen's throne can still fall into the hands of others?" ”

Lin knew that she was thinking too much, and she said unconvinced, "Even if you can't be the queen, your daughter will not be too bad in the palace, and we will naturally follow suit." ”

Shang Shu looked at Lin and shook his head, how could he take such a short-sighted woman, thinking that life in the palace was good, but he didn't know that he was like a tiger in his companionship, if his daughter said something wrong, he was afraid that he would cause a disaster when the time came.

"What do you know about this lady, now that the emperor has no intention of accepting a concubine, it is difficult to threaten him, and how much do you know about this Ouyang Wen, do you know how many old ministers in the court were sent to the border because they were impeached by him, and now he came to us to say these words for no reason, how can it not make people suspicious?"

Lin Shi frowned, thinking carefully about Shang Shu's words, and felt that he seemed to be in too much of a hurry, "Master, what you said makes sense, it's just that since ancient times, there has been an emperor who has not had three thousand concubines, so the slave family thinks that Lord Ouyang's words are worth considering." ”

"I know, but you'd better not meddle in this matter, otherwise you will cause some disaster to Shangshufu, don't blame me for being ruthless." Shang Shu glanced at the Lin family coldly, he knew that his wife would never give up.

Lin lowered his head in panic, "Yes, master." ”

After Shangshu left the lobby, Lin slowly raised his head.

"Ma'am." A small group walked up to Lin.

"What's the matter, isn't Miss going to see that poor scholar again?" Lin said unhappily.

The little guy lowered his head and said intermittently, "Madam, just now, Miss, Miss said that she wanted to go to the Silk Village to have a look, but the little one couldn't stop her, so she followed her out, who knows, who knows that walking on the street, Miss threw us away." ”

Lin Shi looked at the little guy coldly, "Useless things, even people can't look at them." ”

"Madam, it's the villains who don't do it well." The little guy hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Forget it, you go down first." Lin waved her hand impatiently, her daughter was really shameless, she secretly met with men all day long, thinking that Liu Sheng was a poor scholar, how could she take her daughter? Even if you are a guest at Mrs. Li's place, after all, you can't change the toad's temperament of wanting to eat swan meat.

Ouyang Wen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this Lin Shangshu actually ignored his proposal, but thinking of Mrs. Lin's appearance, there shouldn't be any need to worry about this matter, he believed that it wouldn't be long before Mrs. Lin would definitely come to him.

In the Jing'an Hou Mansion, the housekeeper hurried to the study with the letter, "Master, the young master has a letter." ”、

After hearing this, Tyumingde hurriedly raised his head and looked at the butler, "Quick, show it to me." ”

The housekeeper looked at Qiu Mingde's happy appearance, and he was very relieved, the young master had been in the border for so long, he couldn't come back on weekdays, and there were not a few letters, he knew that although the master didn't say it, he must have thought about it in his heart.

"Butler, let the next person get ready." Tyuminde read the letter with a smile on his face.

"Master, what did you say in your heart?" The housekeeper was a little curious when he saw that his master was so excited.

Qiu Mingde said with a smile, "Hui'er will be home in the afternoon, he is in a hurry, and he hasn't eaten well, you go and ask the cook to cook some of Hui'er's favorite dishes." Tyuminde has been looking forward to it for so long, and finally he is looking forward to his child back.

"It's great that the young master is back." The old housekeeper was also a little excited, "I'll go and ask my subordinates to prepare some of the young master's favorite meals." ”

"Hmm." Qiu Mingde thought that he was about to see Qiu Yunhui, and he couldn't stop being happy in his heart.

The butler quickly went to the kitchen and gave orders, and then prepared to see Tyuminde.

"Master, where are you going?" The old housekeeper saw Tyumingde walking outside, and asked suspiciously.

"I'll wait for Hui'er outside the door."

"Master, I know you're very happy, but you can wait in the front hall." The old butler said with a smile.

Tyumingde hurriedly walked out, "I want to see Hui'er soon." ”

"Okay, then I'll stand at the door with the master, but don't be in such a hurry, be careful of your step."

Tyumende could not listen to the butler's words, and only quickened his steps and walked out.

"Lao Wu, do you want to talk about the life at the border pass? Hui'er, did he bear it? Tyumingde asked worriedly.

The housekeeper smiled, "Master, life here will definitely be difficult, but I believe that the young master will be able to overcome it." ”

"Yes, Hui'er has been tough since she was a child, and she will definitely be able to overcome it."

The housekeeper said with a smile, "Master, the life at the border gate is not as good as the house, so when the young master comes back, we have to make up for him." ”

The two of them looked ahead, looking forward to seeing Qiu Yunhui at this moment.

Qiu Yunhui rode a horse and walked on the streets of Kyoto, he looked around, and found that after leaving for so long, there was no change in Kyoto, and at this moment he was a little apprehensive in his heart, maybe this is the so-called "closer to home is more timid".

"Master, do you think that is a young master?" The butler pointed to the person not far away.

Tyumingde looked in the direction of the butler's finger, and a mist gradually rose under his eyes, "Yes, yes, it's still the housekeeper's eyes, I'm old, and I can't see clearly even from such a distance." ”

"The old man laughed."

As soon as Qiu Yunhui arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an, he saw Qiu Mingde, he immediately turned over and dismounted, walked to Qiu Mingde's side, and knelt down.

"Father."

Qiu Mingde looked at the person in front of him, his eyes were foggy, he reached out to help Qiu Yunhui, and then said tremblingly, "What are you doing here?" Saying that, he looked Qiu Yunhui up and down again, and then said with relief, "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't suffer anything." ”

In the end, he just reached the crown, seeing his father like this, Qiu Yunhui's heart swelled with a sourness, and he choked up and said, "Father, the child is not filial, which makes you worried." ”

"If you know you're worried, you shouldn't have gone over there." As he spoke, he turned his back and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Father、、、" Qiu Yunhui looked at Qiu Mingde like this, and he blamed himself even more in his heart, "Father, children can't always be by your side, it's a child's right, it's just that a man should have the ambition to protect his family and defend the country, if he hides in this warm harbor forever, what face do I have to face my ancestors and ancestors?" ”

The housekeeper smiled, "Young master, what the master said is just angry words, don't care, you don't know, the master misses you, I don't know that you are going back, so I ordered my subordinates to make your favorite meal." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Yunhui immediately smiled and said mischievously, "Did the housekeeper ever miss me?" ”

"Of course I think about it, you haven't been back from home for so long, and I miss you very much, old man." The housekeeper looked at Qiu Yunhui with relief, he watched the young master grow up, how could he not want to.

Qiu Mingde finally calmed down, he glanced at Qiu Yunhui, and said with a straight face, "It's so big, it's still so unruly, let others see it, wouldn't it be a joke." ”

Qiu Yunhui faded from his calm appearance and said with a smile, "Father, I have just reached the crown, how can I be said by you as if I am old." ”

"Alright, go back and change your clothes, we'll wait for you in the lobby."

Qiu Yunhui nodded, and walked to his residence, the moment he pushed the door open, his eyes showed a little warmth, after leaving for so long, the things in his house were still the same as when he just left, they had not changed at all, and there was no dust in the house, I think it must be the housekeeper who asked him to clean it every day.

He happily changed his clothes and went to the lobby.

"Father."

Qiu Mingde glanced at Qiu Yunhui, and then said casually, "Sit down and eat, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Qiu Yunhui nodded, "Father, I didn't expect the taste of this dish to change at all." ”

Tyumingde smiled, "The cook at home hasn't changed, and the taste has naturally not changed." Saying that, Qiu Mingde kept staring at Qiu Yunhui.

"Father, what have you been watching me do?" Qiu Yunhui raised his head and saw his father looking at him all the time, and he smiled awkwardly.

Qiu Mingde's expression instantly became serious, "Hui'er, you tell your father honestly that you have to leave when you come back this time." ”

Qiu Yunhui lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "Father, you also know that the border pass has not been stable, and I naturally can't leave for a long time as a soldier guarding the pass, plus there are some things at the border recently, so I can't stay with my father for a long time, I know, you will be sad if you say this, it's just that the child has no choice, and the child, as the people of this great Qi, should protect the family and defend the country." ”

After hearing this, Tyumingde lowered his head and asked in a calm voice, "Then when will you leave?" ”

Qiu Yunhui frowned and said, "Half a month later." ”

"So fast?" Tyumingde only felt panicked in his heart, and he hadn't been at home for long before he was leaving.

"Father、、、" Qiu Yunhui looked at Qiu Mingde distressedly.

"That's it, since you're only staying at home for half a month, it's okay to stay with me." Tyumingde sighed and said helplessly.

"Father, I will accompany you well."

Qiu Mingde's face did not show joy, he looked at Qiu Yunhui sadly, "Hui'er, it's not that my father doesn't want you to go to the border pass, it's just that the border pass is dangerous, and your sister's whereabouts are unknown, so my father can no longer bear the pain of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person." ”

"Father," Qiu Yunhui heard this, and his heart was filled with pain.

"Okay, I'm full, you can eat more." With that, Qiu Mingde put down the dishes and chopsticks and left.

"Sir." The butler shook his head helplessly, this was supposed to be a time of joy, but it made it so sad.

"Alas, young master, don't care about the master, he's just worried about you, I'll go and see first, you eat more." As he spoke, the old butler caught up with Tyumingde, who had left.

Qiu Yunhui looked at his father's decadent figure, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, it seemed that he should go to the Qin Mansion for a trip.
