Chapter 19

Soon after the end of the early dynasty, the news that Zhao Wenkuan of the Zhao family and the other two officials of the Zhao family who held real power were demoted and reprimanded by the emperor spread widely.

When the news reached the Qin family, it was almost time for lunch.

The main masters of the Qin family who are currently staying in Chang'an City are Mrs. Qin, Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and his wife, as well as Qin Sheng and several children of the youngest generation. At this time, the old general of Pingxi Hou Qin guarded the border pass, the second and fourth elders of the Qin family took their families to fight the border together, and the Qin family Wulang died on the battlefield two years ago. And their siblings are not the same biological mother. Only the eldest son Qin Heng and the youngest son Qin Sheng were born by Mrs. Qin, and Qin Sheng was the old son of the old general Qin.

Mrs. Qin's body is not very good when she is young, she and General Qin are childhood sweethearts, and the two naturally became relatives.

Because Mrs. Qin's frail and sickly body could not bear the hardships of the border, after marriage, Mrs. Qin took him into a concubine's room, and the old general Qin took him to the border to take care of his life there. The second, third, fourth, and fifth daughters of the Qin family are all from each other. Qin Heng and Qin Sheng both call each other Erniang, and they respect her a lot.

Although they are not siblings of the same mother, their brothers have a good relationship. Xu is accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and their brothers are not fighting like black-eyed chickens in other people's homes.

Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang were also at the border before, but this year, Mrs. Qin was seriously ill, and the old general Qin asked his eldest son to ask for permission to return to Beijing to serve his mother, and he came back. Qin Sanlang and his wife were sent back by General Qin two months ago, because Nie Yunniang was pregnant again, so let the couple go back to Chang'an City to rest and recuperate, and serve their mother-in-law by the way.

Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang came out of the study in the front yard and walked towards Qingfeng Courtyard together.

When the Qin family eats, if everyone doesn't go out and is in the house, they eat together, which looks lively.

The two walked while talking, and halfway through, they were caught up by Qin Sheng behind them.

Qin Heng looked at him in a strong suit and sweaty appearance, and asked casually, "You just came back from outside?" Where did it go? ”

Qin Sheng avoided the important and said lightly, "I didn't go anywhere." Can you have dinner there? A little hungry. ”

Qin Sanlang, who was silent on the side, raised his eyebrows, Xiao Liu was wrong, there was a situation.

When the three brothers arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, Nie Yunniang commanded his subordinates to start setting the meal.

When the brothers were together, they inevitably talked about the major events that happened in the early dynasty. In their military general's house, the rules are relatively loose, and there is no such rule that food is silent and silent, of course, they will pay more attention outside, and they are much more casual at home.

Hearing this, it was Nie Yunniang who reacted the most, and she couldn't help but babble after hearing it, "No, is this Lu Desheng so terrifying?" ”

Madam Qin nodded, "This person is indeed powerful. ”

It's only been one morning, and Lu Desheng has single-handedly pulled down the three powerful officials of the Zhao family, not to mention that Zhao Wenkuan is a Honglu servant and a third-grade official! In addition, Honglu Siqing was originally the highest-ranking minister of the humerus in the Great Nine Qing, and now the relationship between Dali and the foreign races outside the border is very tense, and the Honglu Chamberlain, who is in charge of matters such as the guest court, is still very important. Although he didn't pull him off the horse, he was demoted by half a level to retain, which was already very powerful. You must know that the prefect of the Yushi Observatory, the Imperial Historian, is only from the third grade, and Lu Desheng is just an imperial historian in the Imperial Historical Observatory.

In this battle, the Zhao family didn't say that it hurt their muscles and bones, but if they said the least, they had to delay it for a year or two to recover.

Qin Sanlang said faintly, "Lu Desheng, this is Jane in the emperor's heart." ”

Qin Sheng was in a good mood and coerced a piece of chicken thigh meat for his mother, and he coerced a piece of chicken neck to gnaw on with relish. Tsk, the wicked still have to be grinded by the wicked, and now I listen to it again, and I still feel very cool, what's going on?

"Wait, there are twists and turns in the marriage of the Xie Lu family, Zhao Yutan is the culprit, but Ah Sheng also helped to abuse him, if it wasn't for Ah Sheng saving the wrong person...... Nie Yunniang said worriedly, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qin Sheng.

"Third sister-in-law, let's not use idioms indiscriminately, besides, I'm not the only one who saved the wrong person, didn't Xie Zhan recognize his fiancée?"

"It's not important, what I want to say is, do you think Lu Desheng will anger our Qin family because of this?" Speaking of which, Nie Yunniang was very nervous.

"No, it won't." Her husband, Qin Saburo, answered her question with certainty. Lu Desheng is not a madman, and he is vigorously erecting enemies.

Nie Yunniang nodded, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

"Is the purpose of Lu Yushi's impeachment of the Zhao family to warn them and then let them not participate in the marriage of the Xie Lu family?" Mrs. Qin was a little unsaved.

"No, quite the opposite." Qin Heng also analyzed slowly: "Judging from the actions of Zhao Desheng to the death of Lu Desheng this morning, there must be something inside that we don't know. I'm afraid that the Xie family has already made a choice, and the Lu family will notice it, so they will attack the Zhao family hard. ”

"Boss, what do you mean, the Xie family and the Lu family have revealed the idea of retiring from their relatives?" Mrs. Qin asked.

"It's very likely."

"Wow, then don't we have a chance?" Nie Yunniang's voice couldn't hide her excitement, if Miss Lu Er abandoned Xie Zhan and chose Ah Sheng, then she could laugh three times.

Mrs. Qin nodded, "Wait, Lu Yushi doesn't look like he can stand that anger." ”

Qin Heng also said, "Everything depends on how the Lu family decides." "They have analyzed it before, the family affairs of the Xie Lu family, and the initiative of whether to quit or not is not in the hands of the Xie family. The Xie family is a family of scholars, and there are all civil officials and literati in it, and the literati all have face, and their reputation is above all else, but anyone who wants to take a career or make achievements in his career will not easily let himself be stigmatized. The Xie family's proposal to withdraw from their relatives was a stain on Xie Zhan.

Qin Sheng: "I'm full, you eat slowly." ”

During this meal, Qin Sheng's expression did not change, he was very relaxed from beginning to end, and Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang saw it in their eyes.

Qin Heng asked him, "Go to the outskirts of the city to run horses again?" ”

Qin Sheng nodded, "Something?" ”

Qin Sanlang gave his eldest brother an inquiring look, this is a lifelong event related to him, do you say he didn't understand from beginning to end, or has he already seen through the twists and turns of the period? Their father has arranged for his eldest brother to go back to Chang'an with him to recuperate, in addition to their own affairs and must be withdrawn from the border, there is another task, which is to train Xiaoliu out, here specifically in terms of strategy. In terms of force, Qin Xiaoliu can basically crush him and his eldest brother.

Qin Heng smiled, "Ah Sheng is very smart. "As he grows up, he will definitely be able to surpass him as an eldest brother.

Qin Sheng glanced at the two elder brothers.

"What are you talking about?" What kind of dumb riddle are you playing? Nie Yunniang asked suspiciously, she always felt like she had missed something.

Qin Saburo glanced back at his daughter-in-law. Well, people who didn't understand it from beginning to end are here.

"Yun Niang, ignore them, come, eat meat." Mrs. Qin gave her daughter-in-law a piece of good meat, and she listened to what the Qin family man said at the dinner table if she could, and she didn't bother to think about it if she didn't understand.

After giving her daughter-in-law the food, Mrs. Qin thought about it and gave Qin Sheng a piece of chicken breast meat, she was very happy after listening to their analysis just now, and decided to encourage her younger son.

Qin Sheng looked at his mother suspiciously, didn't he already announce that he had eaten enough just now? Why did his mother still give him vegetables? Forget it, his mother loves him too much, and she always feels that he is not full, so he still eats this piece of meat, anyway, he can eat some more, and it will be a slipper.

Mrs. Qin took the opportunity to educate her youngest son, "Ah Sheng, if you are lucky enough to marry the second miss of the Lu family, you must be kind to others, you know?" ”

Ahem - Qin Sheng was choked all of a sudden, coughing non-stop, and complained in his heart, dear mother, can you not just jump out of such a scary sentence without being cold? Then, will he eat the chicken in the bowl or not? I always feel like I've sold myself.
