Chapter 502: Brother and Sister
Unlike Wuwei Hou, who was worried for a few days, Qin Ji knew that her plan was ninety percent sure after convincing her grandfather, since the King of Jin was determined to win over the Wuwei Hou Mansion for his use, of course he would not refuse the goodwill of his own marriage, not to mention that he also came up with such a proper way, the King of Jin only needs to cooperate, and there is no need to waste his heart at all, and the loss of that plan is only her reputation, and there is no harm to the King of Jin, she is willing to be ridiculed in order to "fall in love at first sight", and the concubine of the Marquis Mansion is willing to take the position, everything is for the great cause, is both intelligent and considerate, how could King Jin refuse? If that man were to such an extent of absurdity and arrogance, he would not be able to achieve his ambition to reign in the world.
Therefore, in the past two days, she swept away her anxiety and sadness, and spent the day leisurely, either admiring flowers and chanting poems, or practicing calligraphy and painting, and she was in a very happy mood.
On this day, I was sitting in front of the window and drinking tea, while watching the maids pruning the branches and leaves of the peony flowers in front of the steps, when I suddenly heard a "bang" on the door, and the maids waiting for orders outside the door exclaimed, Qin Ji frowned and looked back, and his heart sank.
Qin Ming, who had a frosty face, even had a knife hanging from his waist, and just broke into his sister's boudoir.
"Brother is back?" Qin Ji calmed down, Shi Shiran saluted, and motioned for the idle people to retreat.
The eldest brother was very strict when he was a child, unlike the other two brothers who were arrogant and pampered on her, Qin Ji had always been a little in awe of him, this time I heard Qin Lang say that it was the eldest brother who suggested that she choose one of the criminal and Jiang cousins to marry, which almost ruined her life's event, and she was both angry and sad in her heart, but she still didn't dare to argue with the eldest brother, and waited for the time for the eldest brother to go to Luoyang, and then started her plan.
However, looking at the eldest brother's expression at this time, it was obvious that he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but Qin Ji didn't want to show weakness, she didn't invite Qin Ming to sit down, so she looked at her brother with her head held high, showing that she was determined to be fearless.
"Ah Mei is still ashamed?" Qin Ming asked coldly.
"Brother scolded me for being shameless, daring to ask me when I had done something immoral?"
"Isn't it shameless that you recommended a pillow mat for yourself?!"
"I have never met with King Jin in private, even though I admire him, but I also plead with my relatives to grow up to be perfect, how can I be a brother who speaks ill of each other?" In the end, the four words of self-recommended pillow still stimulated Qin Ji, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden, but he gritted his teeth and held back, with a miserable white face, but he still insisted on looking at Qin Ming.
"Do you dare to say that you admire?" Qin Ming was furious: "You are just obsessed with vanity, you originally wanted to marry into the family of the world, thinking that you would be able to raise your eyebrows and puff up, and later you wanted to marry Zhao Guogong, if you don't see it, you will be disappointed, and you are not willing to honor your daughter-in-law, so you lie that you fell in love at first sight!" Do you think King Jin will believe your excuse? You ask yourself, if you hadn't learned that King Jin had great ambitions, would you have had this determination...... Ji Niang, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances since you were a child, but you should also know what it is that people must humiliate themselves and be humiliated by others. Ji Niang, it's not too late at this time......"
"Brother, don't persuade me anymore......" Qin Ji smiled miserably: "You are not me, you won't understand how shameful those contempt and contempt are, whether I am upright or upright, dark and ghostly, in the eyes of those people, I can just practice at will, except for changing my status, it is impossible to win respect, for example, in order not to be despised, I have been diligent in painting and calligraphy for more than ten years, and I have never behaved vulgarly, but what? The clan still won't approve of me, they only see the difference between the family and the family, so what about moral upbringing? Brother, if I can't change my status by virtue of marriage, and suffer from the cold eyes of inferior people for the rest of my life, there is only one way to die, but I am not reconciled, I don't want to die in humiliation like this, I don't want to be in vain for years of forbearance, and I want to laugh at others in vain, I must, I must grasp this only opportunity. ”
"So, for the sake of that so-called honor, you really plan to give up your shame?"
Qin Ji took a deep breath: "Whether Brother believes it or not, I do have admiration for King Jin, at the birthday banquet of Princess Nanyang, King Jin once spoke up and saved me from an embarrassing situation, I have been grateful to King Jin since then, and my words at first sight are not lies, and I will never act to harm King Jin, and I don't know why Brother keeps accusing me of being honest and shameful." ”
Qin Ming sneered: "You know it yourself! According to your temperament, it is difficult to bear the cold eyes of others, let alone being willing to live in the position of concubine?! But at this time, it is impossible for you to seek the position of the concubine of King Jin, so in the future...... For the sake of the desire in your heart, do you dare to guarantee that you will not act treacherously and harmfully? One day, if the king of Jin fulfills his ambition, will you seek the position of the mother of the country? If the king of Jin is willing to make you the queen, it will be fine, if your desire is frustrated, what will you do? ”
"So what!" Qin Ji couldn't help but sneer again and again: "Is that just shameless?" If the King of Jin really achieves his ambition, my Qin clan will definitely make great contributions, shouldn't they get the honor they deserve? I am doing this to protect the glory of my family! ”
"Whether it's for your own selfishness or family righteousness, you know it in your heart!"
"Of course I know! If I am a man, I will inevitably fight like a brother, but I am a daughter, even so, I will not only seek the protection of the family and make no contributions, and the elder brother also asked himself, isn't it because he will serve the king of Jin because he will be illustrious one day? Brother can be the minister of His Highness, why can't I be the wife of His Highness? Qin Ji's heart was agitated, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore: "Brother, today you have been accusing me of being shameless, do you feel happy when you see that I have no place to be ashamed?" If the fourth brother is still alive...... will definitely understand my situation, and will not be like my brother, step by step to threaten me to death! ”
Speaking of this, he even hid his face: "Although I have always been in awe of the eldest brother, and I am not as close to the eldest brother as the fourth brother and the younger brother, but after the eldest brother and the fourth brother followed their father and ancestors, they returned to pray for the Buddha, and did not forget to pray for the safety of the eldest brother. Can you really bear to see me being cornered? What have I done wrong, do I not want to be despised and hope that one day I will be guilty of sin and deserve death? ”
Hearing the little sister mention Shiro, who had died, Qin Ming was also stunned, his chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade, and in addition to the sharp pain, it was still ...... I can't bear to blame more.
Shiro, like his younger brother, cherishes his only sister very much, and he is obedient, if he is still in the world, he will definitely not see his sister so grief-stricken at this time, and Shiro is seriously injured in order to save him from the enemy.
That's it, the matter has come to this, what's the use of him blindly blaming Ji Niang? Since my grandfather exported, it would be difficult to recover it, and in the future, I could only go to the soup to repay the kindness of the king of Jin.
"Ji Niang, you remember my words, but I hope that what you said today is at least one sentence worthy of it, that is, no matter what, no matter when and where, don't behave against the king of Jin, I hope you will be able to understand one day that being respected is not because of status, you ...... Just do it yourself. ”
Qin Ming dragged heavy steps away from his sister's boudoir, and the maids dared to go inside to visit, seeing the little lady lying on the desk crying bitterly, they were all panicked, and comforted around their backs, but they didn't dare to ask the brother and sister because of the dispute, Qin Ji finally calmed down, but he didn't have the leisure to taste tea and enjoy the flowers, lying on the couch and facing the white wall.
How could she behave against King Jin? Even if she must take the throne, in order to compensate for the sacrifice she made for future glory, but this is not contrary to the interests of the family, in the future, the princess of Jin will inevitably be a member of the queen mother's party, it is impossible to be concentric with the king of Jin, when the queen mother is defeated, the princess of Jin can only end up in a death, it is impossible to compete with her for the queen's position, her father and brother will make great contributions to the king of Jin in the future, and she will also settle the affairs of the inner house for the king of Jin, the Qin family is loyal to the order of the king of Jin, and will inevitably get due reward.
Where can't she be upright and join hands with the King of Jin and be bowed down by her subjects?!
The elder brother is clearly worried, unless the king of Jin is defeated, how can her wish be disappointed?
If the king of Jin is defeated and the family is not protected, of course she will not survive in the world, and she will live and die with her husband, father and brother at that time.
She is not trying to climb high and sit back and enjoy her success, after all, in front of her, in order to help King Jin seize the throne, she has to be ridiculed by people, and may even be careful for a long time, she must be careful and wronged, and even fall into danger or death, this is to sacrifice life and death in exchange for possible honor, how can Brother compare her to a lowly person who recommends herself for a pillow seat?
Thinking like this, Qin Ji couldn't help but feel even more aggrieved and sad, and wept silently for a while, before he thought that he should go to Mingdeju to ask his grandfather if King Jin had an answer.
So he called the slave to clean her face and make up, and it was easy to hide the redness and swelling of her eyes, and went to her grandfather's house.
But I saw that Hachiro, who had a mysterious face with a bronze mask on his face, was coming out of the study, but he was just respectfully courteous, and he still didn't say a word.
Qin Ji heard the little brother say that this person adopted his son for his grandfather on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and he was seriously injured when he turned around, and even his face was burned by the fire.
Although she was curious, Qin Ji didn't pay more attention to this person, but she looked at the lofty back, and suddenly had a subtle and strange feeling, this person seemed to be ...... Yes, no wonder she feels a little familiar, this person's figure is quite similar to King Jin, maybe because of the similar height.
Qin Ji quickly retracted his gaze, and outside the curtain, he called softly: "Father, Ji'er, please see you." ”
